Finally Managed To Finish One Of My Sketches! This Month Was A Bit Rough, And I’m Only A Few Days Way

Finally managed to finish one of my sketches! This month was a bit rough, and I’m only a few days way from getting my bachelors diploma… but that’s not what I wanted to tell.

What’s going on in this art? Well, Eirian is one of the protagonists of my (currently unnamed) magical realism setting. Why are there so many butterflies around him? Because it’s an image associated with the soul, its rebirth and transformation and such.

By the way, the painting to the left from Eirian is "Psyche" by John Reinhard. Psyche, or "soul", has butterfly wings as an important attribute. And I'm also thinking about giving Eirian and Rin, another protagonist in this setting, a dynamic referencing Cupid and Psyche.

But if butterflies are the soul, then why are they dead? Good question! There is a person in Eirian's life who wants to control every aspect of his life, his every thought and every action. If it seems to you that the room is strange and unsettling, you are right)) Butterflies pinned to cardboard, skeletons, a broken mirror, a low ceiling – all this is not an accidental choice, but a representation of that person’s mindset. That’s it, end of a story for now🦋

Sorry, I'm frustrated again. I have to write this out.

But let's just like...talk. You and me.

So, Blue Eye Samurai is supposed to be about this strong, undefeatable woman, finding the men who wronged her, struggling with herself and her trauma, and basically becoming a legend, right?

So...tell me, why, we as a fandom decided, that the best person she could end up with, was the guy who told her to kill herself when she was at her lowest, who made her childhood hell, who STILL calls her a dog??

...

Why though? Because he's the only man who was written to be conventionally attractive? So, a jawline is enough to look past clear abuse? Mhm.

"No, bc he changed." ???

The last time they spoke in the first season, (if I remember correctly) ended up with him having a boner, then calling Mizu a demon before storming off.

I don't want to offend people, really, this fandom is lovely but...

I kinda feel like some of y'all only see looks. If Taigen and Ringo would swap roles, I'm sure none of y'all would like the ship anymore.

I'm sorry, really, I'm usually not one to trash ships, but this one is just wrong to me. And the fact that there are clear signs in the show that they wanna make this canon?? Makes me want to drop the whole show.

I know this sounds really dramatic, but this is eating my brain. Like, it genuinely gives me distress when I think about the fact that those two could be canon one day.

Bc I know, the show's creators are a couple. Obvi, they will end up writing a straight couple to win in the end. So this is reason I'm probably not gonna tune in for the second season. I'm afraid shit gets ruined.

(this is also the reason why I've been inactive. kinda lost motivation to write or do work for bes. but i'm on my way to finding motivation and will again.)

(lol.)
