It's Gonna Be Okay

i wish they let him crash out more in the show (though the movie makes up for it lol (≖ᴗ≖ )

theyre so cute and pocket sized i love them 😭💥

and idk, that might not have been it’s thing for me? I read 80s comics. It’s not my fave, but I can chew through it, I can even find it interesting to explore. But it’s just so… like, to be fair, not all of the characters were underexplored. There was Courtney, who got a ton of screentime. Courtney was also the one doing the majority of the sexual harassment, something the writers didn’t seem to have considered to be a problem at any point. It’s the Gar Logan treatment that makes me go :/. Because I wanted to know more about Mandy, I wanted to know more about Rob. They caught my eye. But they, especially Mandy, felt so barebones, like they were there just to facilitate Courtney’s story or give the impression of two choices. So when the other parts of the narrative feel neglected for the harassment, the harassment sticks out. It becomes the defining thing I remember about playing it

something that strikes me in particular about the lack of choice that this game affords you, despite being a game ostensibly based on choice, is that there are certain points where it could have been used to make a point. There are a few prompts where no matter what you say, Courtney will harass Robert. It’s unavoidable. And I think that speaks a lot to her as a character! That it’s not about what Robert is doing, it’s that she wants someone to take her angst out on. In a competent game that understood what was being written, the lack of choice in those moments could have been a standout and they could have made a point. But. No, now it’s just about bad game design

a very very funny picture to not load

☕ Mr. CBC: She's cuuuute! I'm sorry the search for Black gyarus was so tough, but it seems like you did a good job! Keep up with those redesigns! Sn: the Ice Wife and I have claimed Aiura from Saiki K to be Black. Sooo besties? ☕

Blackness is real, so portray it. Blackness is not this fictional fantasy race you get to change and edit in your art to mix and match characteristics however you please. Yes sure, there are Black people with those features in real life, but are you sure thats really why every Black character you draw has straight hair, light skin, and a small nose and lips? Because I call bullshit. It doesn't matter if u have an anime art style or whatever, if you're going to draw Black characters (which you should) then you need to put effort in, you can find a way to make it fit your style later, besides getting out of your comfort zone and trying a new art style is not a bad thing, especially if ur art style is stopping you from portraying Black people. If thats the case then maybe it's time for a new art style.
