I’ve never really thought about it but i think when i draw dark executor elesis she’s more monstrous, scary, big. Shadow elesis is the aftermath of that lifestyle, kind of? She’s more haunting, and sad.

My lukewarm take is that one of the greatest privileges of all is the ability to exist as the «default setting», being seen as just a person, and not as a representative of a group of people who share your gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or cultural/religious background. Which is why the «not all men» pushback against any mention of structural sexism was what it was. Because suddenly people who were used to being the default setting were being made into representatives of their gender, having to prove that they were better than the stereotypes forced upon them. And they did not like that one bit.

What does the future have in store for you?

i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency

in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion

who fell to the sword to be left in the past, and who went into the future?

[leornadodabvinci]

"... You're what??"

[leornadodabvinci]

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

i’ve recently gotten into zzz thinking it’s just some chill, slice-of-life game wherein you run a video store and occasionally go into hollows with your sibling, but i was not prepared on how much belle and wise’s desperation to prove that their former teacher and foster mother was innocent would break my heart

because during the new year’s event where astra yao asked them about their future plans and they could not answer because they had never planned a future past their goal just… made me sob

this also implies that they’ve prepared themselves for any possibility that could happen as they try to clear carole arna’s name, including the possibility of losing each other… even though deep down, they’re still scared that that might happen someday…

i have such a big soft spot for the phaethon siblings so much i’m gonna cry

[leornadodabvinci]

I love Belle and Wise.

The siblings ever.

They make fun of the other for not exercising but they are both weak and can barely run in chase sequences. They are the man in the chair, they are actually nice people who will help others even if it doesn't benefit them directly.

They are movie nerds, they have a money laundering business, they are always trying to get people to become VIPs for their movie renting store.

They lost so much, they want to reach the truth about their teacher's involvement with the hollows after the disaster in the old capital, they miss their home, they only have each other now.

[leornadodabvinci]

Wise is genuinely not supposed to be the sibling you pick because he, by his own admission, cannot talk to girls, real or digital. Canonically, he cannot score with women, meanwhile Belle is flirting with Jane regardless of who you pick. Any interaction that portrays Phaethon being smooth with women, that's meant for Belle. Wise can score with other men, but he has no shot with women, that's his sister's area of expertise.
