Some Pokemon Mystery Dungeon style portraits for the core trio of Tamagotchis— Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, and Memetchi!

I’ve always wanted to make PMD style sprites but I’m DEFINITELY not a pixel artist (it’s probably been like, a decade since I’ve even tried to make sprites). Thought I’d give it a try though and since I’ve been on a Tamagotchi kick for quite a while I made these! I can’t be the only person who’d play a Tamagotchi RPG or a PMD-like game, right? (and before anyone mentions that one on DS, yeah I know that’s a thing but good luck finding like any info at all on it lmao)

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
