I Will Admit That It Is Quite The Trip Of Going From A Straight-A Honors Student To Someone That Is Happy

I think I'm funny

So many people were like "Moppet Douxie was dumb" no he wasn't! The way he acted stems from having no self-esteem. He has been judged, belitled all his life! He was never praised, his ideas were deemed terrible, his musical talent wasn't noticed! Whenever he tried practicing the lute, he was immediately shut down by Merlin. He was shy, nervous, nobody ever told him to believe in himself! That's why his magic was so chaotic because magic is emotion and he was feeling insecure! The charming Douxie we all know and love, the one who's confident and isn't afraid to speak his mind, yeah that happened after Merlins sleep. Only after Merlin was in the tomb he had to make his own choices, defend himself, was able to make new experiences, which let him to become more comfortable with himself.

Me: I don't mind drawing unsymmetrical faces. I think that it adds character and some realism since most people's faces aren't two perfect halves of each other :)

Also me: The flip and symmetry tool is scary

ive seen a few other posts about this that didnt get a lot of notes because i know it makes nonblacks uncomfortable (😐) but you people need to start examining why so many of your reaction pics and gifs and memes are of black people being expressive or literally just existing because its not a coincidence. it directly correlates to how black people are seen as overemotional and overreactive, the sassy black woman and the angry black man stereotypes and so on. like you really need to ask yourselves why such a large portion of the most used reaction memes this year are images of black celebrities like wendy williams and oprah and why non sequitur memes including dababys face seem to be so inherently funny to everyone, and if you are contributing to this problem.

this video explains it well:

"White people and nonblack folks using black memes and GIFs to express their emotional labor on black bodies contributes to what American literary critic Sienne Ngai calls 'the animatedness of black folks', A.K.A. seeing black people as hyperbolically emotional and expressive, particularly black women and [q word] black men."

in the video khadija also talks about how this relates to blackface and minstrelsy and about the appropriation (and butchering) of aave in online spaces, and cites these articles on the subject of digital blackface that i also recommend:

Can you imagine that this huge space we see here is Arcadia Oaks, or some other town?

Like-- let's assume that below is Arcadia Oaks High's soccer field, which we've already seen. We know that the high school was already destroyed to bits and would need some time to rebuild (maybe a year? I know that construction nowadays are pretty fast). Even if it's not, that's some mass destruction happening somewhere else.

But also what if Nari dies and the place that was originally burned and practically turned to ruin came back to life where she died; and that's why the gang looks so sad. Pls don't kill Nari, writers
