I really want to draw Kay and Vail (ship ship ship) but I just don't know their dynamic enough.
With Kay, it's really confusing to imagine her flirting because at the beginning on Toshara -when we have this mission to get an upgrade part- she's soo akward when making poorly advances at Selo that I thought she's be more of a dork in those regards.
This might sound tremendously ridiculous, but in a way, a big part of her character arc is that she get's more confident, more open to other people without using her pseudo-confidence and comedy as a defense mechanism- and in a way this can be observed in how she acts around people she likes.
Obviously Vail isn't just somebody she misttrusts simply because of her trust issues, but because Vail is literally hunting her down. But even then you can feel how refreshing it is for Kay to have somewhat of a clearance and validation of her insecurities. And this develops into a more of a rival-to-friends to...lovers(?) delulu brain go brr
She just acts way more confident when Vail is around. Especially in the end pre-credits scene.
Anyway~ because I find this dynamic so layered and Kays personality so... so... developed(?!?) during the game, it's really hard to get the right image into my head.

Part of my creative process is to find the right angle- the right approach to my drawings. They aren't even that good most of the time but I find if an art piece envokes the right feeling in you and captures the nature of its muse, it could very well be a dot on blank paper and still be a masterpiece.
So I might wait till I get something out. It might take time.
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
my (very white, very middle european, very protestant christian, very sixty-year old) father just dropped an inshallah in casual conversation. without precedent or without any acknowledgement. "inshallah they will send us a new internet router" he said. didn't even stutter. what did he mean by this.
