my number one biggest critique of dr2 is its approach of treating izuru as simply an extension of hajime. we never get to see izuru and hajime explicitly coexist as two entities and we never get to see izuru take back his own humanity after having it denied from him ever since creation. i want hajime to face the consequence of the mistake he made in signing up for the project and the consequences of trying so desperately to “fix” himself rather then accept himself as is, and i want izuru to have to face the the fact that he did all of what he did while ALSO simultaneously learning to accept and be angry about the fact that he was a victim of both junko and the project, placing him as not an GOOD person but not an inherently evil one either and thus, at the end of the day, a person with feelings and autonomy and needs and desires.
i want hajime to accept and love himself as the lovable ordinary guy he is instead of simply getting a cheatcode to talent, i want izuru to see that he’s more than a machine and that he’s a person himself. sure, izuru gets development, but its not as much as it shouldve been again because of the approach the writers took here in treating him as Hajime Version Two instead of his own character. genuinely i feel like the ending of dr2 was soiled because of this and both characters’ development was entirely erased the moment the writers decided to merge them together and i will say this a million million quadrillion times

Something seriously lacking in my art is the ability to tell a story in a single illustration.
I've gotten so used to drawing my characters standing around doing random things that I've never practiced telling a full tale/putting implications into my pieces that require more thinking/looking.
It also comes from a lower amount of details in my works by default [since I like to get pieces done fast], but I'm tired of using that as an excuse.

giving it up for my fellow memory issues girlies-- we love never being sure of our memory of information or an incident we love having 0 faith or reliability in our remembering a responsibility, task, or plan and we especially love being commonly blamed and asked to apologize for it 😬👍
real talk though-- fellow bad memory girlies im here for you and whatever shit youve gotten, blame you've taken, for a brain disability out of your control, you didn't fucking deserve it, and you aren't a bad person for it. There are people out there though who WILL take "i have memory loss/problems" as an answer and Will be patient with you and love you and you will meet those people and it will be so relieving.

Is Sakyo like a Lu Woh type who's such an annoying uppity twink that you just want to dig your teeth into like a chew toy and then shake your head a bunch?
THAT DESCRIPTIONS PLEASE.
a3 is such a wholesome series but after what YOU GUYS did to Lu Woh in particular i feel fearful bringing this on Sakyo 😭
and i think it's not an *unfair* comparaison tho.... Like they're both more on the reserved side, they try to take things seriously even if no one around them do, they can resort to threat of violence to motivate people while actually they care too much to really carry through with it, they're both surrounded by groups who tend to want them to loosen it up, they both tend to lecture people over what should be done, reminding them of their duty and everything....
so they do have a lot in common. I would say on the difference is that Sakyo is much more likely to actually get angry (Lu Woh, despite threatening to be, tends to be pretty lowkey), and Sakyo also doesn't hesitate to be soft when the time is right (Lu Woh, so far, has kept the Tsundere energy through everything). Sakyo is also more passionate in general i'd say, he's more in contact with his own feelings and shortcomings than Lu Woh.
So they are pretty similar i'd say, not fully obviously, especially due to the fantasy vs down-to-earth distinctions of their arcs, but they do have major draws in common here and there.
now whether it means you want to dig your teeth into him and bite him like a chew toy........ i do know people who would do that to him.
just don't hesitate i guess?

going out on a limb here, but does anyone know anyone else in the teaching/education field that would be willing to answer some questions for me? i'm heading back into college, and i'm seriously considering a teaching degree-- however i have some questions that i'd love to ask to someone who's employed or has experience. bonus points if they're LGBTQ in some way, since i have major fears when it comes to being a trans educator that parents would be absolutely BATSHIT towards me for existing.
