#gonta gokuhara#gokuhara gonta#danganronpa#v3#ndrv3#moth#dragonfly#my art#concept drawing of sorts#also muh symbolism xd#the rest of tags is some optional blahblah#but yeah Gonta's parents seem like the types who'd tell depressed people to 'get over it'#`oh no our kid can't get over 10 formative years of social separation in like 5 minutes! what a disgrace!` ...jfc I lack words#well I don't but there's just so much to say it's overwhelming#tldr Gonta's outlandish circumstances of a wild child from a wealthy family hide ordinary and sadly common reality of many#where emotionally vulnerable or divergent people with ignorant caretakers end up thinking their mistreatment is normal or even 'deserved'#esp when they lack better point of reference/are berated for asking for help and 'not knowing already'/are too trusting bc of self-doubt#or so compassionate/compliant they'd rather deal with hurt than 'inconvienience' others by reaffirming their boundaries#his backstory might not be as extreme as some other characters - but is still an example of upbringing that can be devastating to a person#it's not smth drastic and sudden enough not to adapt to it - yet not harmless enough not to slowly corrode person's mental health#all the unfairness becomes so ingrained within you it's hard to tell where your personality ends and your trauma begins#esp when one is naturally inclined for over-responsibility/perfectionism/empathy in the first place#and - at least from my perspective - it was just too real and accurate and made too much sense - I can only congratulate the writers on this#i guess you could say those sort of thoughts were an inspiration for this drawing...#anyway that barely scratches the surface but all in all#he's been doing incredibly well and he's amazing and valid the way he is now too#sod his parents and sod those who took advantage of him by exploiting his traumas-masking-as-traits
