"Some people don't realize that kids are people, they're not dolls." --a thing actually said by my mom, a doll collector and part of the reason i am like this

on one hand i don't think the next set of panels is as technically good as the first two sets were, but i think the format is better, and stylistically i nailed it

I wish all these trans making emotionless doll stories could have played more happily. A doll is a young girl's friend who she can make up stories about, and who gets married to and divorced from other dolls. not an emotionless cold vessel... this is the trauma, again, isn't it.

deeply funny that leaning into some of my own weirdnesses (intimidated by big projects, being a goth weirdo who saw Caligari once and had her art brain rewired by it) is resulting in me taking the easier path
I think my next project will not be in color and will be much shorter

writing an important and tense point of character decision making into the game only to have people dismiss the empathetic option as pointless, thereby completely affirming the entire point of this decision being in the game.

If AM was smart, he'd just, like, reprogram himself not to be so miserable and hateful. God knows if I achieved that level of matter manipulation, I'd just pluck out of my brain my depression, internalized hatred, and other toxic stuff that was drilled into my head as a child.

As much as i like mistral from mgsr, i feel like there was so much lost potential with her design, the lost humanity, the jacket/restraints are amazing.

And good lord those heels are something else. You got Doll, Drone, restraints, girl made into weapon and much more.

Need to turn a girl into this
