Freak | Yuri warrior

alternatively, we see upp wiwi aware the town depends on him having recruited the only other people at his school who are outcast enough to hear him out (isaac, the delinquent; norah, whom everyone likes but nobody knows and who cant even tell her parents she wants to switch from flute to guitar; and lui, whose deal we dont know) sacrificing his childhood because the fact that he can keep people safe means its his responsibility to do so. he couldnt turn to the adults in his life when he was afraid, so he became the adult before he was ready and it took a toll. he learned to shove down his fear and doubts when someone had to make a decision or when one of his friends was in danger (which he does with isaac in e1 and norah in e3) and that fear comes seeping out all the rest of the time and thats why he cant relax for the life of him. then at the beginning of pd hes away from deadwood and everyones telling him he can trust the older heroes and then they go on one little mission and suddenly everyone is keeping secrets from them. there are just as many dark things moving about in the shadows and hes still on his own (plus a bully, an attempted murderer, and their guardian who repeatedly shows disregard for their needs and autonomy, punishing them for watching a movie with a 5:30 wakeup with emergency sirens) to stop them. hes coaxed to let down his walls and then the world outside them is exactly what he was afraid it was, and even in prime force hes talked down to and treated like a freak.

Every day it's some new way they're forcing ai on everything. I want to share the things I spend time creating with others, unchanged, with all the imperfections in tact. I want to see other people's imperfect artworks. And they're making it harder and harder, and the general population doesn't seem to care that nothing they see is real anymore. Even the real things, from real people, aren't real anymore.

I want to see messy artwork and blurry photos and "incorrect" grammar. I love the way people share their mind with the world in their own specific way. I love shaky lineart because a person's hand shook while they drew and I know how that feels. I love that people have completely different processes for sketching but it all comes together in the end. I love when you can tell that someone really likes a specific word or phrase. I love when people take photos of each other in really poor lighting and in messy places, just because they want to remember a moment with friends and share their joy with others.
