Experimenting with fem ASL designs ✍✍✍

Hear me out here's the vision. Mickey is a toon who is very used to having his image be used for a variety of roles. Most of his roles are already him but just adapted to fit the story in some way, whatever the role needs from him he will provide so he's very used to his name and image being used as a prop. So to him when he sees he's being used in a mocking way, that's just another role to him, the only difference between this and what he's already doing is this is the first time it's placing him in an antagonistic role. Yeah they're using him as shorthand for evil greedy corporation, or even just using him for cheap low-effort "edgy" horror, but is that really that different to all the other roles he's played in his life, where he's boiled down to a simplified version of himself? And then expected to act that way off camera, too?

So he doesn't take it personally. He's an actor, and they're just roles. That's what it means to be in public domain, he isn't gonna be upset or annoyed about it. Who knows, it might even be fun to be the bad guy for once. It's not like disney will ever let him experience that, so why would he be mad when someone else lets him have that?

consistent characterization of pb is that if youre conventionally cute she will like you and pull you out of danger but if youre kinda offputting or ugly she will let bad things happen to you in front of her and she might even openly blame you for them

Listen, this is probably not what the final design will look like, cause it feels too coherent for this boy, BUT:

Most of the beyonder characters in this have a ceremonial clothing for rituals, so his could be this? Still feel too coherent tho, will probably have to add more messiness

Another idea is to give the design for serenity, since she is a ghost medium and all, but since they are mentor and mentee, his would still have to look similar...

No matter what DO NOT think about mika seeing akane's head, and realizing that the love he had for those kids, his family! The only one he had is fading away. That he knows that one day he will not care about those people that were everything to him, how sick he must have felt, or maybe how he felt the absence of sickness, the absence of anything at all, which might be even worse.

And while you're at it, do not imagine how it must have felt to help save ferid after that, to have to work with guren after that. To watch as the only person you did manage to save, the only person you still have in this world be used for their plans, and you can't do anything about it!

And then definetly don't think about how all of that made him feel so so pathetic. How in a last ditch effort he gives it his all, he gives his entire life, just to try and protect yu, try and take down one of the big threats for good AND IT WAS STILL POINTLESS! he gave away everything for a blow that did NOTHING!
