Day 3 - Fluff / Angst

"I had a meeting with Storch Sieben. She will manage the remaining Protektor units and reinforce quarantine measures so no more casualties will happen around the facility.

That wasn't a bad idea, right Kommander? Without your guidance I feel so lost and tired of thinking about this, about everything actually.

... Falke, if I were to lay down next to you, would you mind?

... I am just kidding."

AKA Adler starting to lose his mind as everything goes downhill at S-23.

The dialogue is heavily inspired by an scene in the manga Land of the Lustrous that just felt like something Adler would say as time goes on and Falke remains in her coma.

okay. hello guys. my bad for not responding to stuff or being as active recently, had a lot of work to be done and other stuff to focus on that took a lot of my time. I wanted to make more art, but I unfortunately had to put that energy into other things (which got to the point where I could not put them off any longer and had to stay working on it). I know I missed a lot of stuff and I'm sorry for it

April Drawing I was supposed to post a while ago

(there's so much empty space omg 💀💀💀)

I think I was going to post this a week ago? But I started in March and yeah I'm not gonna finish this guys 💀

It was just gonna be a bunch of doodles but I, on brand, decided to overdo it :\

However I do like these, maybe I'll do another one soon but keep it sketchy so as to not torture myself

Close ups

The first one is my fave, I wish I could make it a sticker. I want it on my sketchbook so badly.

I wanted to go for a creepy look for the second one but like a random teen staring at you weird creepy, not half alien teen with powers creepy.

I really do love drawing April, even if it's in different styles lol which was unintentional I didn't even notice at first. Gonna try and draw more Aprils these next few days

Uh remember to like and subscribe (and tell me if you like my art pretty please I love attention) Anyway byeee

I have been completely consumed with Locked Tomb brainrot these past couple weeks, so I figured it was high time to post some Griddlehark cosplay pics from Anime Central a couple weeks ago 💀

Something that I have observed, in life and in fandom spaces, is that vast cultural and linguistic differences are often unknown, and this has become especially apparent as social usage of the internet has grown worldwide. It's no one's fault. Nobody is "less than" or unintelligent or whatever else for not recognizing it. It's simply something that you can't really know, I think, without being directly exposed to it either by education or personal experience.

I've been lucky to have been something of a nomad, but that comes with its challenges which go way beyond the practical or homesickness. I can say that even within the English language there are VAST regional and cultural differences in modes of expression. Interestingly, the folks I've known who MOST seem to recognize it are linguists and especially professional translators - professions where a recognition of the importance of localized metaphor, unspoken nuance, idiomatic expressions, etc, are absolutely KEY to success. But I digress.

Based on my own experience, I believe that internationally common tongues sometimes fail us to a degree because of this. In some places, culture is more "individualized" - a sort of "what can I do" which often includes a sort of "me against the world" outlook. (I do not mean selfishness. Not at all. I mean it's a starting point, not a goal.) Presenting one's thoughts can best be accomplished by conveying strong, even absolute conviction in one's position, which - "me against the world" - can lead to generalized and sometimes forceful statements. At home, that would be a starting point for discussion and debate, and would be returned in kind. In other places, discussion takes more of an "improv comedy" style, wherein "yes, and..." is the mode of debate. In still others, the places and types of silence can convey just as much about someone's position and can be just as persuasive as words themselves. Sarcasm is especially regionalized, and conveyed differently from place to place. Body language is universally important in adding nuance or clarification to any statement in any place. Put these sorts of things in a blender, and you can easily find misunderstandings where some come off aggressive or as "talking down" to others, others unusually meek, still others appearing to agree when actually, they are not agreeing at all, etc.

I have also observed that in real life situations, differences in regional accents afford a certain amount of grace toward these differences, even when we're not actively conscious of any of the above. (This, I can say with absolute certainty, because I have also lived in a few places long enough to have taken on a floating accent, and when I'm visiting any of these places for more than a day or so, that grace if I stumble back into other modes of expression disappears with whichever accent I got off the plane with 😂)

Unfortunately, online, we don't have this constant audible reminder that a person is something of an "other" coming from some other place where modes of communication may be different. Even people who deal with language as their professional bread and butter can easily forget in online spaces. We tend to hear whatever we read in our local accent, and things such as metaphor and sarcasm may be misconstrued, "individualized conviction" modes may come across as shocking and rude, or the many and varied uses of silence may go completely unnoticed, etc.

Anyway. If you have read this whole novella, thank you. 💕 I have debated posting something like this for a looong time, because I wonder sometimes if conflict I see within fandoms (and educational groups, and professional groups, and and and) might arise, fundamentally, from these sorts of misunderstandings. I do not intend it as a callout to any person or group of people. Perhaps, hopefully, simply food for thought.
