that post you made about purple being free to express anger at ko reminds me of the abuse cycle (in which a victim becomes an abuser) but in a comparably more healthy way. it's so good ☆

Anon I am tucking you gently into bed with your favorite midnight snack and drink /pos

I think it's less of Purple is perpetuating the cycle of abuse in a healthy way and more that they're unlearning some unhealthy habits regarding the expression of negative emotions

Because something that I've definitely had to relearn is that having anger, being sad, being scared, all these "negative" emotions are natural and normal. And having them is not a bad thing and you are not a bad person for feeling them

The issues arise with how these emotions are expressed and handled

So in my headcanons,

Purple learned to express anger through aggression from their father, but they also learned that you must always respect figures of authority, so that that anger can never be directed towards said figure. Additionally, they probably learned it'd be a death sentence if they showed any "weakness".

Similarly, when their mother falls ill, Purple was given the role of caretaker (probably while they were still in their teens btw) and a whole new sense of responsibility is put on their shoulders. But they can't show that they're stressed, or that they're sad, or god forbid they're angry. Because what kind of monster would have these feelings about their sick mother?

So the logical conclusion (in Purple's mind) is suppression. Just keep everything inside. It'll be fine.

That's why it's such a big thing when Purple finally does express these emotions in front of King because it's like, confirmation that Purple sees them as equals and that they trust him enough to be vulnerable.

(man if someone reminds me, I would LOVE to do a deep dive on my headcanon on how Purple's trust with King is different from their trust with the Color Gang. Because there is a difference. These 2 relationships are not the same)

And of course, Purple will eventually learn better coping mechanisms to handle their emotions because like I said above, the harm is not from having these emotions but from how they're being expressed.

But I do think there's something beautiful about how messy it must be when Purple finally cracks and lets their raw emotions out

The matador

YESSS I ACTUALLY FINISHED SOME ART!!!!! And not long after the short uploaded too!

The matador outfit was so difficult but it paid off because my green design has swoopy hair (like some old composers) and it goes so well with the fancy outfit

LETS GOOOOOO

Happy Gift Exchange @cindersnows !!

I was so excited to get your prompts and I combined all three

(ROGP polycule, Dark and Purple training, Dark King Purple and Gold all living together)

Purple accidently getting into a polycule with their crushes and not even realizing it is such a funny concept

Also I think if Gold was alive, them and Purple would have such sibling energy

*Lip smack* I can smell the new AvM short

(Maybe spoilers just in case)

Hehe, it was really fun! And I managed to wake up early for it.

I have to say I couldn’t build the racecourse like Yellow but considering how competitive everyone is I would want to be Yellow just zooming happily over the course. And he didn’t drop everyone in a pit this time!

And that comment:

“My theory is Alexcrafter returns”

Imagine if they were doing this on Alex’s computer. 😆

I'm gonna call the villager Chef in my drawings but the temptation to dub them Gordon Ramsay was immeasurable

I’ve hit artblock

Here’s the skit that art block would not get me to draw

—————————————————————————

Red: we need sticks, a lot of sticks

Blue: don’t forget the note blocks! We’ll need them!

Yellow: ey, ey, craft some concrete powder blocks,

Blue: yes! The base will sound fantabulous!!

Green: aight I’ll craft that too

Red: craft the glow stone!

Orange: I’m in a room of fucking sadists
