animated the "It's okay not to smile" scene from chapter 4

Gentle flames Gentle rains [image description: Watercolor and pencil art of Amaterasu and Issun against a black background. Ammy is posed on her back, looking as though she and Issun are suspended in the air together. She has a gentle smile as she looks up at the small sprite, who is almost touching her nose. Bright green and turquoise light shines off of him. Flames from Divine Retribution curl around them and frame the art. 

….But at the same time, she doesn’t tolerate being objectified against her wishes:

Tiktok 1: What's the weirdest thing about you body that you haven't gotten fixed yet?

Tiktok 2: (unintelligible) I started having issues hearing out of my right ear so i go to the doctor like any normal person would, and the guy looks in my ear with that little flashlight nozzle thing and he goes, "hm." And I go, "what?" And he says, "You don't have an ear canal."

Well I DID! Haven't missed any payments, who took it?!

He sends me to the very convenient ear specialist around the corner who then looks in my ear and goes, "JESUS!"

That is not the first thing I want my doctor to say to me! You think you know where this is going and you think it's gonna be a bug- WRONG.

This man informs me that there is a small tooth-sized bone growing across my ear. So I'm sitting there trying to process this like, "So should I go to the dentist?" And he goes "Oh, no it's only covering about 60% of your ear canal so as long as it doesn't start growing more then you don't need immediate surgery." So now I can't go underwater or else it gets trapped behind my ear-tooth!

Also, to the person on twitter who said I wasn't getting enough action so my body had to start 'boning' itself?
