Q&A: Arthur Sokolov

He's here and he's ready to scowl - the drummer of Anger Management is finally in our interrogation room. So let's subject him to your most pressing questions.

the mill

a repub from late 2022 - i deleted the old version because i didn’t like it at the time, but i’ve since turned around. had to edit the old version a little tho

but yeah! this is a little lyric comic using the (translated) russian part of the mill. funny enough, i’m 100% certain this was my first PAFL fanart and it wasn’t even for any of the characters specifically (i drew sanya like… a year and a half later and never posted it anywhere ooops). but the mill is my favorite song in the series along with message lost and i always found the imagery from this verse striking…so yeah!

olya… (sniffles)

is the dude in hiltswaltb fucking ivan

also i love the song and yana. could you see that 4m how my profile looks lol

That's not Ivan lol, that's yana's older sister Milica (Милица).

Everyone thought Milica was set to achieve great things. Yana saw her as an ideal she could never live up to, someone her parents held in much higher regard for as long as she could remember. And yet the golden girl was swiftly cast aside as soon as she stepped too far out of line.

Even with the family officially renouncing her, they have all been placed under a much closer governmental surveillance. Yana is the only one who is able to quietly visit her sister in jail.

Yana is certain Milica sees her as a coward, a moral disappointment. The fact that Milica herself is partially responsible for Yana being held to even higher standards frustrates her to no end.

I am exceptionally lucky in that my parents never hit me, grounded me, confiscated my things, banned me from my hobbies or threatened any of these actions to make me behave as a kid. as an adult it has made me realise how very very long a road most people have to traverse before they can take a statement like 'no rule that must be enforced by threat is legitimate' seriously.

that artblcok is insane guys idk if I live...

Hi hello uh question who’s the dude who’s body is unwrapped or smth like a fucking pringles can I need lore they look so cool

ty for the ask!! unwrapped like a pringles is sending me. you are very lore accurate

his name is yin and hes the boy with the bird mask, he and his sister work for a very fashionable skinwalker helping her run her boutique and selling her apparel, their world has become like one giant tourist attraction for aliens and strange creatures and the siblings are here to outfit them!

granted, yin is only still around thanks to the skinwalker’s powers, and humans are an extraordinarily delicate medium that don’t mesh well with getting otherworldly powers stitched into them…so he’s got to live with some side effects! but he’s got his shot to live at all, so what’s a little eldritch goofery?

some parts of this i really like because lord knows im not a fan of the final piece: - red and blue pixelated highlights around the faces - the shading on conaya's arm - the fact i remembered to put a mole under conaya's left (our right) eye - the colour i picked for the shadows on cyaris' vest - the little strip of magenta in between the light and the shadow on cyaris' wings

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.
