If you can’t say “I’m beautiful,” begin by shutting down the “I’m ugly” thoughts and saying “I’m a person.”

If you can’t say “I’m valuable” begun by shutting down the “I’m worthless” thoughts and say “all people deserve basic respect, and I’m a person.”

treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.

even though the game’s narrative really emphasizes the phantom thieves as a group (more than 3 and 4 did imo), the fact is that Ren’s entrance into the lives of every character gave them hope at a very, VERY low time in their lives. we know that every single person on the PT was facing down a future of outright despair had they not found there was another way for them.

Anne would have been constantly ostracized and possibly even gave in to Kamoshida’s blackmail and advances. Ryuji would have fallen to rage and isolation and given up on having friends or a future to be proud of. Yusuke would have continued to be Madarame’s think tank and defender until he was no longer useful like other students. Makoto would have been trafficked and exposed to drugs, vice and horror, probably while STILL TRYING to keep up her studies, and would have fallen apart to it. Haru would be living an empty life as an unwilling child bride to a creep of a man who didn’t love of respect her, probably under the specter of physical abuse as well.

Futaba wouldn’t be alive anymore.

Every character had gotten to the point where they were almost willing to accept that this is how their life was going to be. It was Ren that gave them the spark – the outrageous notion that this was not how their lives had to be, that there was another option, and that they could find justice and belonging.

The last two years of Goro’s life was him living a life of despair, just like the others had been enduring: living a double life under the threat of death from his “boss,” fame that brought admiration and no love, working himself to the bone at school and at being the detective prince, and being isolated from everyone because he had no one to relate to. Even if he hated what he had become, even if if he hated what he was doing, he had to keep going or it was all for nothing. And we know that Shido would have had him killed.

His friendship with Ren, even if it was under the guise of gathering intel, was something real. Goro got a taste of hope: supportive adults, a social circle, a release from societal expectations. But after two years of working as a hitman – under duress, I might add – Goro felt it was too late.

I really missed doing simple styles so here’s another one :D It’s been so cold I just want to be in a warm bath forever~
