The reason that Rumi was able to deal with wearing long sleeves 24/7 when she was still trying to hide her patterns was because her demon half has an affinity for high temperatures.

We don't really get to see much of the afterlife/the demon realm in this movie save for Gwi-ma's general throne room area, but assuming that this version of hell is at least loosely based on the ten gates/courts + considering the fact that Gwi-ma himself is a literal talking bonfire, it makes sense that the demons would be resistant to heat + might potentially prefer warmer environments. That being said, wouldn't it be funny if thanks to her demonic heritage, Rumi just naturally gravitates to heat like a reptile.

When Mira and Zoey start taking her to the bathhouse regularly she just spends hours in the hanjeungmak (kiln sauna) basking like a lizard while the other two are melting trying to accompany her. She has ten space heaters and a sun lamp in her room. When she starts sleeping in the same bed as Mira and Zoey she likes being sandwiched between them partially because she's touch-starved, but also because they're both very warm and her lizard brain (demon brain?) automatically associates that with comfort and safety and home. Mira and Zoey have fully come home to her stretched out across the couch with the curtains open like a cat in a sunbeam.

Bonus points if she gets really sad and mopey during the winter because it's not as warm anymore and Mira and Zoey are just trying everything to cheer her up. The reason they have a fireplace in the penthouse now is purely because they clocked her sitting as close to the heater as possible and went "nope. absolutely not. this cannot do. if the wife is not happy the life is not happy" and promptly got a renovation crew on speed dial to install a fireplace and rework the entire heating system

At some point they just accept that their girlfriend is probably some flavour of cold-blooded and just buy her a bunch of electric blankets so she doesn't feel the need to turn on the heaters in the penthouse "in the middle of summer, Rumi, what the fuck-"

HEY GUYS! So it was my birthday recently (yea I’m a Pisces), and two of my friends who are artists did commissions for me! So no I did not make these my dear wonderful friends did! Both of them are me with Bela cause I’m delusional and think I have a chance with her.. Anyways I’m going to credit the first one as she doesn’t mind while the second prefers to stay anonymous.

Okay lemme stop you right there before I start fanboying out…I LOVE Blacksad, it’s one of my favorite comics of all time…the art is so immersive and the writing is so smooth it’s one of my biggest inspirations actually. I make a lot of my mini comics with that in mind fun fact. I’ve read all the comics during December of 2022 and it has burnt into my mind ever since (tho the recent one has ended on a cliffhanger and I haven’t heard any new updates which is making me salty)

Honestly I love the fact that it’s a novel detective story with animal people and something about Blacksad screams peak design…

though the implications of fur color racism in this universe has got me thinking a lot but somehow it makes sense (I’m not sure if you know one of the comics is about a white supremacy group filled with pure white animals). Overall they have really good mysteries, I like the one in New Orleans and the other in Route 66. The way they delve into the culture also…there’s a huge show don’t tell aspect into the comics I really like. What I mean by that it’s very visual, there’s a lot of emphasis on action and expression which pairs really well with the thoughts of the characters, and you know Blacksad’s a detective so he monologues a lot, it works.

Idk how to describe it and maybe I’m wrong but it makes scenes where they’re just talking so endearing to look at and it makes me engage with the story really well…

Btw the spreads are insane…so much background detail, I’d recommend you see the full things for yourself

And now it’s time for my major complaint…why the fuck do all (or at least a majority I know Blacksad himself has more humanistic features) the male characters have beastly features compared to the female characters that is just a basic human body and with cat ears and a nose???

Hell even if there are more animalistic designs of women the problem is they’re either on the side or just a joke/gimmicky character compared to the ones that are a major part of the storyline it seems unfair with the male cast. Like you know you can an attractive furry woman without relying too much on humanistic features right???

So far the only redemption I see is with the alpaca lady with the “they all fall down” comic so I’ll give it that.

But yeah that’s the only thing that’s taking me out of reading these comics…and also the fact they play with women’s suffering for shock value for the sake of the story which seems to be a staple in noir/pulp type fiction. Which is…nothing I can do about but it’s more of a pet peeve really :/

or in other words sketches that didn't work out well,
