It's wild to me that people treat addiction like it's the addict's fault for having a weak character or something, and on the other side of it we have "addiction is a disease," which is an objectively better model of thinking but it's still treating addiction like it is in and of itself the problem.
Addiction isn't a disease, it's a treatment.
I'm not an addict because I came down sick with a hankering for substances, because they're fun. I was traumatized and then dropped into a society that makes survival extremely hostile. The substances are a pillow and blanket. They're a warm mug and being held tightly by a friend. They're an invitation to a seat by the fire when the storm is raging outside the doorstep.
Addicts aren't sick with addiction, we're sick with so much chronic stress and pain that we're crumbling under the weight. Many of us since we were children with no tools for coping.
It might not be healthy, it might not be safe, and in fact addiction is by definition destructive. But it's also an attempt to keep pressure on the wound. The addiction is treatment for sickness.
I don't think Rhemann will get married in the span of the books because what happened in terms of marriage equality in California in 2008 was a complete ban that was only ruled unconstitutional and repealed in 2013, so unless we get a 2013 epilogue with the wedding or the third book spans 5 years, we unfortunately probably won't get a wedding :((
That said, the ban went in June 2008, so it'd affect Jeremy or the other Trojans 🥹
Wait wait wait I just realized aftg is set in 2007/8. There was A Lot going on in California in 2008 for marriage equality. Are we going to see any of that?? Will it impact the Trojans? Could Rhemman get married? There’s so many possibilities here!!!
I didn't see anyone noticing this yet
what the fuck happen to him... why he's so flattened,,,
also wanted to draw Rodion, but I was terribly tired
also, while I was drawing, I wondered if it was okay to mimic the style of the game
Like, yes, it's cool, I can draw something in the style of the game, but the problem is that I gradually adopt the style itself and lose my own But it's convenient for me to draw like this, in terms of, I can't do a lineart and I immediately do the painting (like the original artist I think? I just found that we had similar techniques and I wanted to reach his skill level in this, but now I feel guilty that I'm just copying his style)
I have a desire to achieve mastery in this style so that people will ask the question: "wait, is this really a cutscene from the game??" just because I love irony and joking with the deception of expectations
Since we all know by now that I had that MCR phase.
My killjoy name was Technicolor Violence.

You ever think about the MOVE bombing and then think about the fact that so few US Americans even know that the MOVE bombing like. Happened.
NEW WOLFWOOD SCULPT REVEAL
The Vash sculpture was around 200 dollars at it's release so I expect this wolfwood to be similar in price. Maybe more considering the punisher will take a lot of plastic and his base is wider.
fake idgafer i saw you beat up four men for being homophobic to your cousin. i saw you kill your brother’s abuser. i saw you befriend a kindhearted religious girl even though you knew the others would tease you. i saw you offer two traumatized boys protection when they thought they would never get any. i saw you ask “how many kids” when you found out that your abuser targeted more people. i saw you sitting on the roof even though you’re afraid of heights because you didn’t want to feel nothing anymore
