It's the person who's "out of line" who is always told to, "Get back in line!"
I'm "out of line," and the students tell me to, "Get back in line!" But I say, "No, " and I saw a smaller line, and they all seemed happy and stood out as different. They were dressed in school uniform. So I started making my way over there. And the teacher of the line I left came and asked me to, "Get back in line" and when I replied, "No", immediately that teacher took it to the principal and now the principal and teachers from my original class started threatening me in front of the students. Who were trying to scare me to get back in place. When I started to break down and cry, my original classmates and other students of that class said, "If you would have stayed in line, this wouldn't have happened to you!" Even with that being done, I kept making my way to the other line. Now, the teachers became furious, and bullies from that school approach me, telling me to turn around. Once again, I refused, so the principal gave a "signal" to the bullies, and they said, "Fine, you could go." As I turned and walked a couple steps further, they added by yelling, "This school dressed you! So we're taking your clothes from off your back!" They started ripping the clothes off of me in front of my classmates and other students. "Hahahaha," they would all laugh as I became naked. Once, I was stripped, and the students of that class noticed the scars and bruises on my naked body. The bullies moved aside so all could see, and I saw pointing, I heard whispering and laughing, and from the laughing crowd, words came out, "How long you had that there!" followed by more laughter. I even heard the ones that had pitty for me say, "If he would have only stayed." At that exact time, I got up from off the ground and turned my back against them
It is afraid, and wounded, and it cannot know the power it gives without seeing it first in the reflection of a Candidate's eyes
Secret Samol time!
@bronanlynch asked for some Sokrates/Integrity, so this is a lil comic from Integrity's perspective, remembering Sokrates.
(And maybe some incidental Thisbe/Integrity if you squint :3)
TWs for under the cut: canon typical body horror, death of a parent, light nudity (there's undies), blood (but its purple)
I had such fun with this one, sorry it's so SAD. I feel like i am best at lil bittersweet comics XD
This was the first time I've ever drawn a mech and I didnt know how to approach designing it- my references were the ones mentioned on the show (Anubis from stargate and Guyver) as well as traditional Greek clothing.
As a lil bonus: I also made a couple phone backgrounds just for fun!
The person of superior integrity does not insist upon his integrity; for this reason, he has integrity. The person of inferior integrity never loses sight of his integrity; for this reason, he lacks integrity.
Talking is great, but don't ignore the value of listening. Pay attention to the words being spoken. Some people just love the sound of their own voice. And, when another person speaks, they are only anticipating to compete, challenge, or question what is being said. You can miss out on some important wisdom always running your mouth.
