The only stick figures I've ever attempted to draw were the ones I used to play hangman with my friends. It was simple: you'd find an extremely difficult word, count its letters, and fill in the same number of blank lines for your opponent to guess.

But, based on the number of mistakes that person made, you'd draw parts of their little stick figure under a gallows, leaving their head for last, which would inevitably be hanged if they didn't guess the word.

Here's a suggestive image for those interested in guessing a user's name while they continue reading. Although if you find it very difficult, I can reveal it below without having to hang them... 🎶After all, being hanged isn't so bad🎶😂

But since this challenge isn't about riddles, but rather a topic that asks you to draw stick figures, here's mine.

Draw a stick figure enjoying your ideal weekend by hand (Hand-drawn stick figure!)

So, I don't have the slightest idea how to draw anything, but I got really excited because it's not a drawing contest and I can imagine anything on paper, and whether you believe me or not, it won't be because of my drawing skills but because of the story I'm going to tell you...😅

It turns out that one of my most recurring dreams has always been to visit Egypt, walk among the pyramids, explore each dark passageway surrounded by walls filled with intriguing hieroglyphics, reach the tombs, and discover mysterious pieces linked to Osiris, Anubis, and Rha. A very distant world that I find powerfully attractive.

That's why my favorite weekend right now would be to go on a hike to Egypt, walking under the fierce desert sun, which would allow me to explore the ancient stone walls built by people who believed in an opulent afterlife. Hundreds of mysterious rooms filled with jewels and precious stones would open up before me, but the living, survivors of that time, emptied their crypts because they knew that after death there was no life left to live.

So there I am, wearing boots I copied from @crazzytruckker, a backpack loaded with essential accessories—just like the legendary Indiana Jones was prepared—and by my side my half-negative boyfriend, reluctantly following my steps because the sun was scorching his skin, with less of an adventurous spirit than my Chloe, who barked at every beetle and lizard that scurried across the hot sands, and at the same time, were revered by the Egyptians in their fantastic land.

I even have a treasure map...

I drew treasures and maps, because there's always some new story to uncover, and I'm sure my magnificent detective intuition will pay off.
Who knows, right?

There I put symbols of good luck eyes, pieces that look like crucifixes but are not, and indistinct writings in imperfect triangles, by the same strokes that I do not know how to draw... and in the end, for those who are a bit distracted, I will get to the Sphinx of Giza, which although it does not seem like it, has a human head, lion's haunches and bird's wings... it really turned out a bit strange for me, but for lovers of Egyptian culture there will be no doubts... it is magnificently represented, with my very particular style... 😅

I'm going to have a great time even if I don't find any treasure, which is most likely, but it will certainly be a unique experience that can change my perception of the world... especially if I manage to leave the village where I live and understand historical motifs from a part of humanity that lived far away from me.

I won't tell you about the tutorials I had to watch on YouTube to avoid faltering while drawing... it was something like stage fright, showing my lack of artistic ability... art on paper isn't my thing. But it's for fun, right?

Here's the username you had to guess. Nah! But you already knew that, right? 🤭

And last but not least: CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE FATHERS IN THE WORLD, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH... I hope I didn't disappoint you too much with my stick figures.


Always very grateful for your reading.

Egypt could be interesting for me, not for an ideal weekend though, but for a week or a month tourism trip, of course, if they guarantee The Mummy won't be waking up and killing around. There's so much to see that I've seen just in movies. Pyramids, ohhh, I have so many fantasies in pyramids, mummies excluded, yeah, no matter if they are female ones, they have no longer decent breasts or breasts at all, and they also can't get drunk, or dance properly, but still, Egypt is a good choice, surely you don't have any pyramid fantasy. I don't know if they sell stuff in pyramids, but still, we'll meet there and I'll buy yo8 a couple of beers, some fries potatoes, pork fried killing meat and we can have a chat about anything in the meantime mummies show up.😁😁

Oh boy, I forgot about the mummies! They've all been collected and taken to a museum, luckily! I don't want to imagine running in front of a... solabaya! I promise to bring you some souvenirs. I know a weekend isn't enough to see everything, but I'll settle for a day to take some sand in a small container and touch the hieroglyphics engraved in Tutankhamun's crypt... If we do agree, we won't have enough time in the weekend to find out all the mummy gossip there must be.

Seriously, that must be super impressive!!!!

What a way to laugh at your comments... 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣.
The thing is I got a thing with she mummies and vampires, but guess in Egypt there's no vampires, well, unlees there's mummies -sexys-vampires which would be awesome as long as they leave me blood ammo to...well, you know...moving that ...and also moving mysel, cause I need it to get back home...

Get bac home?

Well, I rather let them suck me down till I can't move. Coming back would be worse.

Damed country!!!!

Egypt, my big dream since I was a child... shall we go together? What do you think? That would be great! And hangman... what a game... it was great! Your drawing is creative and inspires dreams to come true. I love it.
