Gesture Drawing's Descent Into Maddness

I've been working on my figure drawing skills by doing some gesture drawing. I use pixelovely.com which allows you to set the time duration of each picture. For this week I was planning on drawing women one day and men the next which his how my gesture drawing schedule normally is. The first day went fine and drew some figures while intermittently watching a show on Netflix.
The next day I started drawing males when I had to make a video call from my sister to plan a camping trip. I immediately lost focus in nearly everything I was doing (hence being the wizard of hocus focus) and started drawing out odd stories. They would make the story, I would draw it. My youngest sister was also there and we made a story where a mommy cat saves her baby from some monster using a lasso of justice. I originally drew the baby cat in the monster's mouth so at the end of the story my sister put me inside the monster's mouth (I deserved it I suppose). My other sister made up a pony on a beach that saves the world from a volcano using a spray bottle of water. It may look like its crying blood, but its not. Its actually just part of it's coat. 

Strange.
