(I don’t know what it is about these last few drawings. but I just don’t feel like they have been particularly as good as what I normally produce. Sorry for the wavering quality.)
I thought they looked great! But I hear artists have that problem now and again, where they see more flaws in their own work than they normally do.
Doubt is natural. But remember what you were taught in school? Multiple choice? Always go with your first impression. No new information? No reason to challenge that.
Lyra: Because he doesn’t want to risk interfering with his sister’s life.
Bon-Bon: That doesn’t make any sense
Lyra: It makes perfect sense. He doesn’t want to be a burden.
Bon-Bon: That makes less sense. We burden ourselves with others everyday. He’s not even going to give his sister the choice?
Lyra: The choice is already a burden. She’s fine. It’s better this way.
Bon-Bon: Does it feel better?
Lyra: It’s not supposed to feel better. It’s selfless. It’s right.
Bon-Bon: It’s selfishly denying family an opportunity. If he would really drag her down, which I highly doubt, then it’s her right to make that choice.
Lyra: You don’t understand. You never grew up rejected. Shielding others from yourself is how you show you care.
Bon-Bon: No, Lyra. I don’t think you understand what it means to have a family. I hope you never deny me a choice like that.
I just went through your entire tumblr! Good job! So much improvement! And such dedication! If you still take suggestions, how about Fluttershy playing a musical instrument?
I was alright through most of the story, even when sad things happened. But I started getting choked up on the last song, when Eliza starts singing. And then… when she mentioned the orphanage… I just completely lost it.
… Thank you @mikedaws0n, for telling me about that performance. I absolutely judged it too soon. That was incredible and… I can’t imagine spending the last 3 hours any other way.
