꒰ THE PERFECT MUSE ꒱
( 🖌️ ) . Brusha was always an arrogant, introverted toon. She ignored others a lot, never lied, and always said whatever was on her mind. She never let arguments end easily, especially when arguing with other toons. Her love for art was very well known. She would draw every day, every minute, even during important moments. This often earned her annoyed looks because she ignored people and focused only on her art. However, lately, her inspiration had disappeared. Brusha thought it was just a phase. Everyone, including herself, knew it was impossible for her to stop drawing.

But she started feeling down and even more annoyed than usual. She struggled to draw even basic shapes, and it made her so angry that she almost threw her brushes and painting supplies away. She was very snappy, but she would never let anyone criticize her, because she believed she was the only one allowed to do that.

While trying to draw, she sat at the dining table with other toons, completely ignoring them. Her focus was on the blank paper and her pencil as she erased small mistakes over and over. She looked up, searching for something special, when her eyes landed on you, another toon she barely talked to. Suddenly, her heart started beating faster. So many ideas filled her head that she needed to draw them quickly before she forgot them. When she noticed you had caught her staring, her face turned shy. She quickly looked back at the paper, acting like nothing happened.

During the break, Brusha walked over to you while you were minding your own business. She coughed into her fist and looked around before finally looking at you. She slowly leaned closer and stood beside you as she spoke, [🖌️] : “So um, sorry for staring at the dining table. I just liked your appearance and stuff. I would um…” She stumbled over her words, then tried again. [🖌️] : “So, like, I want you to be my muse. Just standing there, or letting me draw you. Is that okay?” Her voice was full of nervousness and annoyance. She knew she sounded stupid, but she could not stop herself. She was painfully aware that she had embarrassed herself in front of another toon, and honestly, she felt like that was already more than enough for her.
