I forgot my drawing monitor's cord back home when I left to mom's. Luckily, my friend from USA had send me her old Wacom Bamboo tablet to mom's address some years ago so I was able to draw a little and guys.

Guys.

I love drawing tablet so much more than the monitor. I have had the monitor for many years now but somehow it just doesn't capture the right line vibe for me. My settings are the same but Bamboo does lines softer, rounder, heavier where as the monitor is refined, thin and calculated.

I think I'm going to go back to the Bamboo because while I have been happy with my art, I feel a proper, deep satisfied joy when I look at my art done with the humble Bamboo from 2007.

Perhaps you will spot a difference, too, when I get next the DHD update online.

Denji's hypersexuality is a common coping mechanism in SA victims, to try to give the assault a logical meaning of why did it happen, or to get to know the foreign at getting close to the act itself. Genitalia in this case would be representative not only of his lust but also the element reminder of his trauma: "wanting to have tons of sex lead his life to end up miserably", so, the victim blames himself for feeling hurt, accuses himself as the perpetrator of his still ongoing tragedy. The yakuza reminds him of his failure in performing manhood, as Katana Man calls him weak, crybaby, "Chainsaw woman" as kicking his genitals joking to stick them in his behind, and Makima to have twisted his idea of love and taken advantage of his needs, making Denji believe he isn't deserving of forgiveness. At the end it all falls into self-harm, the result of this macabre recipe to make a human to hate every facet of his being: his identity as Denji, as CSM, as a man / his existence: to have born in poverty, orphan, to have killed his father and adoptive family, suggested to perform downgrading gender roles in prostitution (accused woman's job to give men pleasure) / his hopes and dreams for the future, everything is poisoned on his mind. This chapter is about relapse and realization.

Denji is under layers and layers of misconceptions, he is unable to see things through. He thinks his lust is the reason of his tragedy, when he hasn't took an active role in doing anything sexually inappropriate to anyone to get blamed on. He isn't the one to punish for not being strong enough to stood by himself sooner against his abusers and let them have their way, and yet, he still capable to recognize the act is wrong and undeserving (even if he was told through all of his life men should always accept a sex offer and sex = love/joy), ex with Fumiko he inmediatly recognized she assaulted him. So saying sex is his drive in life is utterly wrong, sex isn't Denji's priority and never was actually, and that's something admirable on itself when the world has told him otherwise, because is important to never forget how his happiest was with Aki and Power, putting their friendship above everything else, even above Makima's offers.

I don't think cutting his genitals or even transitioning will fix anything, it would be an impulsive act by trying to escape from the natural progression of the stages of grief and give the instant solution Denji wants so bad right now, where the real cause of his grief is the guilt of the survivor, his self-hatred for having been treated as an object of repulsion and failure through all his life he ended up believing it; to have suffered so much abuse which lead him to see his priorities and identity unclear, amoung other things, seems like it started to click on his mind. This is why Yoru, of all characters, is the one who offers to give Denji "the solution", the character who exists to inflict pain and death on CSM. Also, because he's a hybrid, it will regenerate eventually. It's not gonna happen, probably.

do you think soap existed in hisui? bc im imagining a reunification of ingo and emmet and emmet immediately demanding ingo to take a shower

I think it did exist in Hisui, but it would be funny if Ingo just stayed up in the mountains so often that he didn't really have access to it anyway djdjjs

Has anyone here ever seen Whisper of the Heart? It's a pretty good film, though admittedly has a weird focus on Take Me Home, Country Roads, but anyway, to those who aren't familiar, a subplot in it features an old man who runs an antique shop and a figurine he has of a cat in a suit named the Baron (the Baron also appears in the movie The Cat Returns which is absolutely excellent, I cannot suggest it highly enough, the English dub features the guy from Princess Bride and Anne Hathaway!). It's revealed over the course of the movie that the Baron is actually part of a set and there's a Baroness. When he was living in Germany, he and his sweetheart Luisa fell in love with the Baron but the owner refused to sell him without the Baroness, who had been sent away for repairs. Finally, Luisa convinced him to sell the man the Baron and when the Baroness was repaired, she would buy her, and then when he was able to return, both pairs would be reunited. So he leaves for Japan with the Baron, but then World War II breaks out, and he's unable to return until after the war, and when he does, he can't find Luisa and it's heavily implied she died, but we do have a picture of the two figurines in the movie.

But, since we don't know for sure that Luisa died, just that she was German, I propose that instead she married another German and passed the Baroness on to her daughter, who then gave it to her daughter, and so on until we get to the present day. What evidence do I have for my theory?
