i’ve wanted to draw these two together since i was a kid. which was surprisingly hard, considering how similar their personalities and mannerisms actually are ultimately, i think the difference between Punch and Quasi is that Punch has found his father’s foundation, while Quasi is still struggle with the lies of his “father”. but it did make me think about how sometimes the Lord allows our struggles to become strengthens that can help others. always on the basis of His promises to us.
“Nothing in all of creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:39)

Eli: Punchinello, there’s someone Id like you to meet today. A young wood carver I’ve recently befriended.
Punch: Oh no Eli! Can’t you pick someone else? I’m no impressive. And I haven’t lost all my dots yet..
Eli: I picked you specifically! You’re the perfect Wemmick for the job. I believe it would be good for him to meet you. Dots and all.
Punch: But…
Eli: Thankyou for waiting, my friend. Quasimodo, may I introduce you to Punchinello, one of my sons from the Wemmick village. I’ll leave you two to get to know each other while I step out for a moment.
Quasi: Wow.. It’s good to meet you! I don’t think I can make anything as nice as you yet. I like your green paint.
Punch: Thanks
Quasi: What are the dots for?
Punch: Oh1 The Wemmicks give each other stars and dots. The stars are good, for good skills and good looks. And the dots, are things that aren’t good. Things they don’t like about you.
Quasi: You.. you don’t have any stars? I’m sorry… I only have dots too.
Punch: B-but Eli says what they think doesn’t matter! I’m special because he made me and I’m his.The dots only stay if I let them. I haven’t lost them all yet, but he tells me everyday.. and I think I believe him.
Quasi: Heh, is it that simple? You’re lucky to have him..
Punch: …We’re not that different. I bet your Creator feels the same way. Why don’t you ask Him.
Quasi: I-
Eli: Thankyou Punchinello, I think he will remember this visit.
Punch: Will you invite him back?
Eli: He knows he is always welcome to return. What do you think of him?
Punch: ..I like him.
Eli: Yes, he has a gentle spirit. Much like you.
Punch: Me?
Eli: Sometimes the best comfort comes from those who have suffered the same. All it takes is you being you. As I made you to be.

Punchinello laughed. “Me, special? Why? I can’t walk fast. I can’t jump. My paint is peeling. Why do I matter to you?”
Eli looked at Punchinello, put his hands on those small wooden shoulders, and spoke very slowly. “Because you’re mine. That’s why you matter to me.”“You Are Special” is a children’s book by Max Lucado, about a little Wemmick who is learning to trust that his worth comes from his creator instead of others opinions about him. this book has always held a special place in my heart, long before i found my love for Quasimodo. even now, i continue to work on trusting that God loves me and treasures me, despite how i might feel about myself. all of you are just as special to Him, so don’t let others’ words convince you otherwise. especially if those words are your own.
“How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered. I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand. And when I wake up, You are still with me!” (Psalm 139:17-18)

fuck what everyone else says or thinks, you our special and there is someone who cares about you and if you don’t believe me trust me ive been there and it gets better. ILY
if you practiced self care today by cleaning your room, doing dishes, catching up on missed assignments, and eating healthy, i’m so proud of you. your hard work is really impressive, and even if other people don’t notice, you did great.
if you practiced self care today by resting, drinking tea, and rereading/rewatching old favorites, i’m so proud of you. it takes strength to be kind to yourself, and you deserve that kindness. i’m really glad you were able to get it.
if you struggled with practicing self care today, i’m still proud of you. you are surviving. it can be so hard to make it through the day, and you did it. you’re going to go into tomorrow, alive and able to keep living and keep growing. your survival means something. you’re going to be ok.
