Last MysMes doodle for now! I think I got enough of it out of my system…
Happy International Women's Day to the women ever 🧡🧡🧡
You know who is really cute? Jaehee Kang
Actually, now that I think about it, Jaehee probably has no idea that she can be perceived as 'pretty' or 'beautiful' by someone. She has stated multiple times that she does not care much for her looks when it comes to appearing 'pretty', she has given up on dating altogether (and while it was definitely mostly due to how busy she is, I can't help but think that, on some level, it left her feeling at least somewhat 'unattractive'), and she is very visibly stumped whenever Zen or you actually compliment her on anything besides her wits and abilities. I feel like she has come to terms with being the stereotypical 'smart reliable friend' that is there to give advice, but never actually does or gets anything for herself.
It's only when you come into her life and start encouraging her to actually seek out her own happiness, no matter how small or silly it is, does she start expressing her desires to change something in her appearance. That she'd like to grow out her hair. That she doesn't actually need glasses. That there are some clothes she finds cute or comfy.
Can't help but think of her slowly finding genuine fulfillment through experimenting with her appearance. Her looking at herself in the mirror one day, after a nice and lovely shopping date with you, and, for the first time in a while, finding herself thinking that she looks pretty. Trying out new makeup looks, cute dresses, silly matching sweaters with you that will leave her giggling whenever she puts them on. And, as her hair grows longer, fiddling with all kinds of hairstyles, from quick and easy to elaborate and fancy. It's all so new, but so liberating.
I love how you can kind of see that progression in her through the CG's. Starting with her strictly professional looks and gradually morphing into more comfy and cutesy clothes we sometimes get to see on her.
Oh how I wish we could see how long-haired Jaehee dresses casually...
“I want your glasses” is something u can tell Jaehee in-game
I've probably posted this before but this talk abt mysme again and esp jaehee reminded me that I bought a really adorable jaehee/mc print at an artist's alley event that I wandered into a few years ago, and despite my waning interest in the game, this is one of my favorite pieces of fan merch that I've ever bought.
This is all to say that, whatever happens with the dark side event, the good ending of jaehee's route still exists and can be enjoyed, and her route is generally very well done. It sucks that the romance is subtext, but that doesn't mean you can't go out and make fan art or write fanfic or headcanons or meta posts about jaehee, and make the stuff you want to see. That's one of the best things about fandom, creating stuff that makes you happy. And there's bound to be someone out there who enjoys what you make too 💛☕
Okay, but can we just talk about how... pretty Jaehee truly is? Because...
“I’ll keep you warm tonight.” This time, Jaehee will be awake.
Try to hold + happy for Jaehee. Our girl got a full month vacation (I have put Jumin on a gunpoint for this)
My time off got approved!
