Been seeing people get mad at toriel for drinking and bringing a strange man into the house, and it's got me thinking.

It's not just toriel. So far arcs that have happened include

-Ralsei teaching Susie how to heal, and then undervaluing her efforts, causing her to lose confidence in her abilities.

-Susie being the number one Ralsei supporter, but also doing things that reinforce his belief that he is somehow lesser (Using him as a stepping stool, putting the controllers back to normal and in doing so cutting short the first moment of real autonomy he's ever experienced).

-Lancer throwing Susie in jail to protect her from his dad and his dad from her.

-Queen trying to protect noelle by turning her face into a robot.

-Tenna trying to make kris have fun by force.

-As clearly evidenced by the chapter 4 snowgrave continuation, kris does sincerely care about Noelle. And yet most of the stories she has of them are about kris being sort of bad to her. Playing pranks, hiding under her bed, chasing her around and scaring her. Noelle doesn't even know if Kris thinks of her as a friend. There is nothing we can do that makes Kris angrier than hurting her.

And it seems to me that this game is, at least in part, about the ways that you can hurt people you really do care about, without meaning to, without even realizing that's what you're doing. It's about people failing to be good to each other, and it's also about forgiveness in the wake of it. These characters are trying, dammit, and the narrative says that that's worth something, even if their best efforts aren't enough to stop them from fucking it up a little.

art tutorials / books i like masterpost

ppl ask me for advice and while i always have a lot of Thoughts about art that i like to share. maybe being told "just have fun and be yourself" can be frustrating when you want actionable advice so:

these are books i love that have taught me a lot, i own physical copies and still reference them all the time. (these arent expensive or hard to find but i'll include pdfs anyway)

Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burn Hogarthe (pdf)

The Art of Animal Drawing by Ken Hultgren (pdf)

Exploring Color by Nita Leland (pdf)

and i am being completely dead serious when i say you should try the tutorials from ed emberley's books. yes even if you're a whole adult who has gone to art school. (everybody who tells me "your art is so shaped" this is where i get that shit from !!! he knew what he was talking about!!) this one is my favorite

also these books that i've learned a lot from that aren't literally "how to draw" books:

and i say this all the time but imo just doing a lot of observational drawing / drawing from life is the thing that will level you up the fastest. it's an awesome thing to be inspired by the art you love but if that's all you do you will never get out of the trap of comparing yourself to others. most importantly be gay and never give up
