listen i'm not responsible for whatever crap i huck at you at these temps

I have seen some stories that were more impactful than their transcripts, because the vocal tone, literal timing, and body language helped sell it. Text can struggle to replicate those things. Video stories have value.

I have read some stories that were more intense than their audio format, because the written tone, physical text spacing, and word choice helped sell it. Audio-visual formats can struggle to replicate these things. Written stories have value.

I also wrote a similar comment on this post before, but:

Their tone of voice, their facial expressions, their mannerisms. These are all thing that add to the story that would not be present in a simple transcript of it. There is value in verbal storytelling. It's not always about the speed in which you can take it in! (And having a video-only tutorial is a different conversation than the original post specifying a "story.")

But if not for kneeling, why kneeling shaped? I think I've painted him pining and yearning, but I really wanted to paint him somewhat at peace with the final decisions, even a tad bit satisfied? and with self-acceptance, because ultimately he is a man who does kneel. (in my head canon anyways) I've also painted him kneeling here. Possible missed detail after the jump~
