i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again
these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled
Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:
Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)
Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)
Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.
But in Japanese it scans as:
Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)
Psycho (short for psychic)
Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.
mini rant, but i am quite annoyed that on the twitter prsk deathmatch polls, i've seen two qrts now saying that mafuyu would win (in various scenarios) because "she has no morals".
we are talking about the girl whose dream is to be a nurse because she wants to take care of people like how her horribly abusive mother did once. we are talking about the girl whose terrified to let people down and make them unhappy because she always derived happiness from their happiness. we are talking about the girl who in mizuki's 4th, was worried about mizuki the whole time they were at spojoy park because mizuki said they had "something important" to tell mafuyu and kept prolonging telling her about it. we are talking about the girl who genuinely smiled when helping a child with her injured knee in her 2nd mixed. we are talking about the girl, that even in main story, thought it was horrible for kanade to sacrifice so much to try and "save" her. we are talking about the girl who has grown to see nightcord as like the family she never had. we are talking about the girl who is finding happiness in friendships even when she's not fully comfortable being herself around— like shizuku, emu, airi, tsukasa, rui, ichika, and even her other underclassmen like saki, haruka and kohane, and she's now able to be herself around honami, too. we are talking about the girl who loves everyone so much— even when she shouldn't— to the point of where it isolates herself from the support she needs.
just because her good girl persona is nice and overly kind and isn't representative of mafuyu's true feelings does NOT fucking mean that mafuyu isn't an inherently kind person. mafuyu didn't have this much growth for you to say this, NOR was she EVER at a point where she truly didn't care about other people's feelings or morality. just because she had a mental breakdown and lashed out at her friends once doesn't define her as a person— she was at her lowest and couldn't handle any more pressure. mafuyu has always had an identity and personality, even if she felt incredibly unsure of it and couldn't identify it herself.
if you put mafuyu in a deathmatch with someone else, she most likely would let herself die or try to find a solution where they can both live. that is the kind of person mafuyu asahina is, and she has always been this way since the game launched in september 2020.
STOP demonizing mafuyu for being mentally ill. STOP acting like she hates people. STOP mischaracterizing her as an unfeeling person.
mafuyu is a girl that loves and loves and loves until there is nothing left.
More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here
if were all catpeople there would be trans catboy forums devoted to how to dye over calico markings so you can pass better and another group of trans catboys who insisted that the only way to deal with it is to normalize catboys having calico markings. the discourse would be insane
