A. This art deserves to be seen

B. Is related to this poll

Would yall be interested if I made a blog for the WIP and (hopefully) ultimately Publishing of this story?

Here's the rough pitch

The heir to two shattered fortunes and one still building itself through sham and legitimacy, Loreto is the son of Adamo Harbinger, formidable owner of Harbinger Shipping. The criminal world which has thrust itself upon every facet of his life seemed bad enough. But upon the slow and insidious realizations of self which must be kept an utmost secret. Watch as this slow tragicomedy burns over the course of 32 years, accented by drama and pent up tension.

empathy:

is responding to a person’s emotions by experiencing the same emotion as them (i.e. feeling sad when something sad happens to that person, or happy when something happy happens to that person.)

is an automatic response that cannot be controlled

cannot be learned

sympathy:

is recognizing that another person is in pain, even if you do not experience that pain, and offering comfort to that person

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

compassion:

is showcasing care and support via words and actions

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

if you need an example of a person with no empathy who practices sympathy and compassion, look no further than data from star trek: the next generation. he doesn’t have emotions at all, but he’s still kind to people and wants to help them.
