I have to say, I am surprised at how good at writing you are. I guess it makes sense with how many visual novels and other media you regularly have interest in, but you're so good at characterization. More than that, your handle on expressions is absolutely superb. While all of your chapters have been short and sweet, I think that's the perfect kind of length for you to really drive the point of your story across.

English is a really comfortable language to write in, is the thing. It’s a very evocative language, with a lot of synonyms that convey a slightly different meaning, so you can write with a lot of nuance. I like using that to provide slightly different “character voices” and play with visual metaphors. I couldn’t write like this in Dutch, since that feels like a very blunt and unsubtle language by comparison.
All we had to do was Frankenstein together half a dozen languages to do it!
For those curious, English is primarily a mashing together of German, Latin and French, but with significant borrowing from Greek, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, and several Indigenous American languages. This is why we often have multiple words for the same concept, because it’s literally multiple languages expressing the same idea in slightly different ways. It’s also why we have some unusual linguistic anomalies that don’t appear in many other languages, like having different words for an animal and its meat. IE, Cow and Beef, rather than just Cow and Cow meat.

yesterday I had the thought "visual novel for normal people" (?) and halfway through making this image (which I thought would be really funny) I realized it was completely meaningless
“But the question is, Did John Brown fail? He certainly did fail to get out of Harpers Ferry before being beaten down by United States soldiers; he did fail to save his own life, and to lead a liberating army into the mountains of Virginia. But he did not go to Harpers Ferry to save his life.
“The true question is, Did John Brown draw his sword against slavery and thereby lose his life in vain? And to this I answer ten thousand times, No! No man fails, or can fail, who so grandly gives himself and all he has to a righteous cause. No man, who in his hour of extremest need, when on his way to meet an ignominious death, could so forget himself as to stop and kiss a little child, one of the hated race for whom he was about to die, could by any possibility fail.”

John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
But his soul goes marching on.
I can clearly remember the moment I first realised my mother and I were living on completely different planes of existence. I was 7 years old and I came home from my school's first track and field day having placed second or third in every event. the teachers had been making jokes all afternoon about how many times they had to call my name. my friends thought I was cool as shit. my enemies thought I was cool as shit too, come to think of it. I was proud as hell. so I get home with the entire front of my shirt covered in ribbons like I was a military dictator who'd awarded himself every medal, I walk into the kitchen and tell my mum all about my day, and she goes "oh, that must be disappointing not getting any firsts." and I'm like no?? first of all the first place ribbons are red and I don't like red. second of all look at me. there's literally nowhere left on my body for accolades. I am fucking Jacked of All Trades. how could this possibly be a disappointment.
they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"
It's not a cure but you have no idea how many times this image has helped me with my OCD
On sonic images that help with mental health, this one genuinely helped me more than i would like to admit
this one has legit helped so much with my mental and physical disabilities. Do you know how often some bullshit happens and I sigh and say "but we move"

Wait, which series does Miles Morales first appear in? All these different series are so confusing
Ultimate Spider-Man, in the universe of the Ultimate imprint. It was the best of the Ultimate series.
Cool 👍

This is the most accurate post about getting into comic books I have ever seen.
it's so sick and twisted that you have to forge the life you deserve from the molten scraps of the life you were forced to have
