I'M ALIVE ;0; Happy Monday! Work's been crazy, but hopefully this big post makes up for my absence 🙇 Someday i'll learn to post fewer images, but for now i feel the need to hide my batcat brainrot at the bottom... (if i wasn't already going to hell, i definitely secured my ticket with this one :'D)
“why does this character who has done terrible things deserve a happy ending, how can you be okay with that, why do they deserve anything nice”
well see it’s because the entire concept of what people “deserve” is a messy ethical quagmire that has really troubling implications no matter how you use it
but also it’s because i like fictional miserable little assholes and i do what i want
Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water
it will not Fix You but like. maybe. maybe.
the need to talk about the characters vs the fear that all of my analysis is just empty prose and surface level understanding
I will never play the video game, probably ever, but the fact that they didn’t use any of these designs for her game counterpart, kills me.

Because I like to multi-task, I've finished Scavenger's Reign while drawing my cringe hotd fan art. Beautiful. Delicious. Finally some good fucking creature design.
Also something about the animated body horror is sooo..
I’m definitely not a blubbering mess thinking about Jinx believing she’s this actual curse on people’s lives, an actual literal jinx. That if Silco and Isha hadn’t found her then their lives would’ve been so much better. That she ruined their lives. That without her, they would still be alive and all that shit.
Because that’s not true.
She was this bright, colorful splatter of paint that made both of their lives so much better and neither one of them would’ve traded the time they had with her for anything, because they loved her so goddamn much.
Even though she wasn’t Powder to them and only Jinx – she was in a no way a jinx to them or their lives.
