Your art gives me LIFE, especially the DCFDTL one's!

Any thoughts on them?

[their my fav, im sorry- also i've been lurkin and checkin your other art, luv it sm!]

I loooove the DCFDTL!!!!! And also, I love DCFDTL fans. Y'all are always my favorite knd fans.

I have a lot of thoughts about them, I'm not gonna try to say everything I think in this post.

I will say, PERSONALLY I find them as the DC much more interesting than them as Sector Z and I think that puts me in a specific category of DC fan. I do really like the idea of them recovering eventually, but I wouldn't want to see them just becoming Sector Z again. What we experience in life, both good and bad, changes us. You can't go back to being who you used to be, you will forever be moving forward. The DC should be the same way- As they recover, they would have to find out for themselves who they are now. Not Sector Z, not The Delightful Children, but their own, new people. That's what I want to explore most of all.

When they are the Delightful Children, they are such achingly tragic characters, all I want is happiness for them!! But what they represent in terms of the shows themes and messages is so strong and so important to KND as a show- In terms of "the oppressed trying to be more like the oppressor to get preferential treatment, which does not work" and "the neglected and emotionally abused child who conforms for the sake of their own safety" AND "continuing the cycle of abuse"

But this is also what makes it so, so wonderful when we get to see little moment of the DC being.... an individual? I know thats a contraction in itself- but I mean, when we get to see a hint of what they're like and what they do when they aren't trying to destroy Sector V. That toenails scene in op FUGITIVE is the best example. They're just being weird little kids. I love that! I want more of that! Let them have weird hobbies and things that bring them joy.

I guess that's what I'll say for now!
