Hear me out. Savior Saeran x reader dynamic where mc doesn't have to become Rika 2.0 and this horrible dynamic isn't in play at all. Instead consider:

1. Unknown who finally snaps under all of the abuse, broken promises, and lies, and takes the place of the Savior on his own, as his own!! A reader who comes to ME afterwards, becomes a Believer, and falls for him as the Savior. Or-

2. A already existing Unknown assistant who worships him and would do anything to protect him, helping him realize what Rika is doing to him and helping him fight against her to take that power for himself!!! Or-

3. A already existing Believer who was also suffering under Rika's hand seeing Unknown take the throne and yearing to be by his side, fighting to earn his praise and approval amongst the other Believers who are terrified of him...♡

There are so many other ways to write this than those three examples, but those are the main ones that play in my head on repeat. I want so desperately for a Savior Saeran x reader that isn't based on how you get that ending in the game. Maybe one day I'll have to sit and write it myself or get a commission.

I'm so sorry I'm just here to ramble about the brainrot. Anyways. Unknown in Savior robes with power and confidence that isn't constrained to being used as a tool by Rika & MC is so chefs kiss!!!!

See, I've actually written that second option with my MC before in a Bad Ending. She helps him undermine Rika's leadership, they work to undo everything she's done and place Unknown in charge. The RFA's no match for the two of them, and after my MC convinces Jihyun to give his undeniable support, it causes Rika to lose control and that's the end of the Savior.

She's tucked away in the basement, Saeyoung's captured, and the rest of the RFA enjoy a cult that no longer has cleanings or drugs. It's merely a place for the betterment of others, unless your name is Saeyoung Choi.

Arguably, that's not a Good Ending because Mint Eye isn't going to make Saeran happy and no amount of changes to the horrible thing that hurt him are going to bring him what he wants. Hurting his twin won't bring him peace, but the denial might last for a while. I think it's an interesting concept to explore though, and that's why I wrote that Bad Ending. So, I totally understand the appeal of exploring that one.

I see the appeal of the first and third options as well. Though, I don't know how well things would be under the leadership of the first one. Unknown is made of apathy. Something bad would have to hit him in tandem with a cataclysmic event. If he learned something about his brother that shattered him and Rika confessed she wanted Saeyoung instead of him back to back? Yeah, I could see him destroying every little thing in his path.

I don't know if he would become the Savior willingly. When he runs into obstacles, he tends to... get rid of himself. He doesn't want to be the Savior. You would have to find a reason to make him the Savior in the first place. There has to be something pushing him to become a Savior in the first place, and even then, you have to find a goal to give him that drives him forward.

The original plan was to get rid of his big brother and then himself.

What's the plan now?

Where is Saeyoung?

What can he do to use the cult to take down his brother?

Those are important to understand if you're going to place him in charge of Mint Eye. If you can work out what's driving him, and what he'll do when he catches Jihyun because he's not just going to let the guy run around like Rika did. Rika knew he was there, she just let his ass get away with it. Oh, yeah, that's another thing. What does he do to Jihyun? What did he do to Rika to get power? These are important. They help us understand what drove him to this point. If Rika's in the dungeons, will Jihyun try to save her?

Is Jihyun in the dungeons with her because he tried to do that? Is he trying to take down Unknown now? What's guiding Jihyun? Like, the idea of Savior Unknown is compelling, but we have to think long and hard about all of these pieces, I'm afraid. Unknown can't just be the Savior for no reason.

MC is usually what drives him in these AUs. But, if the MC was someone who didn't know him until after he came into power, I cannot imaginable how they get there. What is he new Mint Eye? What's the goal? What charmed MC? What made them want to believe in him? I bet removing the elixir would make everyone in that place want to follow him, but what would be offered in its place? Is he not afraid of his father finding him? What's going to happen with that in his future?

I can't deny that I don't love the idea of exploring an MC worshiping him but I would need to sit down and figure out the logistics. There's ways to make this work but God, there's a lot more factors than just Unknown being the Savior and MC being his favorite believer.

Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers and lately ive been thinking of a yooran fic where ray compared yoosung to a sunflower (in the sense that he associates yoosung with sunflowers) and he also says that the way sunflowers follow the sun is similar to the way yoosung follows rika and this keeps on rotating in my head. Do u think yoosung is like a sunflower

First ship fic, whaaat? Anyways, I don't really ship Yooran, but I do think there is a whole lot to explore with their potential dynamic. I know this was probably requested as in Yoosung being in place of MC as a tester, but I decided to take it into a more darker and grounded in canon territory. That is, Mint Eye effectively winning, and taking the rest of the RFA into its ranks. It is also kind of one-sided, but it was definitely a fun little challenge for me to write!

There are now flowers for each of them in this garden.

The reason was a rather straightforward one. The garden simply couldn't be completed without all of Rika's most beloved friends, who she longed to see by her side so badly. With each new member slowly coming to accept true happiness into their hearts, the garden bloomed fuller and brighter. And how could it not? Rika believed that the garden resembled any living creature on this Earth. It needed care, nourishment, and company to grow big and strong in order to survive against the harsh mountain winds and colds. It would grow sad when it was neglected and abandoned, and it would grow happy when it was being cared for and loved.

And now, finally, the garden has been fully completed. Blooming beautifully in the soft moonlight. A living proof of Rika's success in building a prosperous and thriving paradise for all who felt abandoned by the cruel world outside of these secluded walls.

Bluebells for Zen.

Violets for Jaehee.

White chrysanthemums for Jumin.

And sunflowers for Yoosung.

All of them were together now. Blooming and growing happily among the daffodils that were always present in this garden. They are a constant reminder of its selfless creator.

On the other hand, Mr. Ray was a mystery to Yoosung. He was the one who led them all to the truth hidden behind those traitors' many lies, along with MC as his helpful assistant. He was the one who welcomed them to paradise first and guided them into Rika's loving emrace that would open them up to true happiness. And he was the one protecting them all.

Yet, they rarely, if ever, saw him after that. Of course, he was preoccupied with his duties. His contribution to Magenta's prosperity was almost as great as Rika's. But, out of everyone, Yoosung found himself growing ever more curious of the man that his cousin has trusted so much.

He was still unaware of so many things. It was fortunate that Rika was so understanding and considerate of all of them. She didn't scold him once for being too noisy: simply smiling and informing him that she is more than happy to arrange a shared activity for them to bond over.

As long as he doesn't interfere with their work schedule, that's fine by her.

That's how they ended up taking care of the many flowers in this rather huge garden. Yoosung would be completely lost if it weren't for Ray, who gracefully whirled through the many narrow paths sprinkled throughout the flower-filled grounds, like it was his second nature. His steps were one of confidence and precision, and it was hard not to admire him for his excellence.

It was almost a bit of a challenge to try and keep up with him, without losing sight of his magenta blazer in all the other bright colors surrounding them from all sides.

"-Savior has stated that we should check on the pink roses. She's worried some pests might have damaged them from the last time she visited them." Ray's voice was firm and measured as he instructed over his shoulder. Yoosung always found it odd how he spoke to Rika and the rest of the believers in a completely different way. Not to mention MC. It's like he was a completely different person altogether, depending on who he was speaking to. Still, he would be lying if he said he didn't like this confident and measured way of speaking. It made it easy to just let go and follow his lead without thinking much, if at all.

"Pests? I thought we had a few gardeners to take care of the garden?"

Ray scoffs, walking through the flowery bushes at a quick pace, making Yoosung hurry after him. "It would be a shame if their incompetence made Savior upset."

The conversation was not very pleasant, to say the least.

Yoosung sighs as silence resumes between them once more. It's evident that Ray is only doing this because Rika instructed him to. He can't help but wonder why is Ray so disinterested in anything that has to do with them. The only times he has ever seen him get emotionally invested in something, is when he saw him talking to MC next to his workroom, as well as his meetings with Rika. Yet, to the rest of the believers, Ray appeared almost indifferent and cold in his approach.

He decides to take a chance by initiating a conversation on his own accord. Looking at Ray, who had been examining a leaf of the particular rose, it seemed that his attempt had been successful. As, the man paused, his gaze darting off to the side for a moment, before he straightened up again.

"Yes, that is correct. Savior had that in mind since the moment the first flower has been planted. Magenta's garden couldn't be completed without you all here by her side."

Yoosung's heart froze. He was aware that Rika had never left them, of course. Not really. But, to hear the confirmation of her always wanting to reunite them one day... it made him smile.

He will always be thankful to her for exposing him to the truth.

He couldn't resist his curiosity. Taking a small step towards the white-haired hacker, he brought up the question that had been on his mind for some time now. "Is there a flower that represents... me?"

Ray returns his gaze, as if he were observing him silently. Despite this, his expression remained neutral. He nods, folding his arms behind his back as he stands to face him. He almost looked like a prince, standing with his back straight like that. "There is. There is a flower for each of you."

"Can I see it?" Instantly, Yoosung perks up and takes another step closer, almost instinctively.

Ray quirks a brow, a slight change in his expression that didn't escape Yoosung's attention. Was he taken aback? Curious? Or maybe just annoyed with him getting nosy instead focusing on the job? It was difficult to read. Ray was like a book that was closed tightly, with its cover blank or fully scratched out, preventing you from even reading its title, much less its contents. Yet, for some reason, Yoosung found himself wanting to read that book more and more with each passing day.

Nodding, the hacker instructs the other man to follow him with a quick shake of his head. "I suppose the Savior wouldn't mind you learning of that."

As they walked, Yoosung was deeply in thought. What is it that made him so interested in Ray? It's not like they worked together. Or even knew one another. Their ranks were all they had.

Oh, but he was aware of the reason.

Ray was by Rika's side during those years when they were apart. He was the one who knew so many things that Yoosung didn't.

There was a part of him that felt guilty and ashamed. Rika has given them everything they need to know. She has provided them with the whole truth about that liar V and that traitor Luciel. She has given them what nobody else could. Eternal happiness.

Yet, despite everything, another small part of him, the tiniest, quietest part of him, was still in desperate need of answers.

And they were all in Ray's possession.

"-There they are."

He was so lost in his thoughts that he almost bumped into the other man's back, making him scurry off with an embarrassed flush to his cheeks. Ray either didn't notice his clumsy stunt or didn't care about it. Yoosung followed his gaze to the flowers his attention was directed at.

He squints and raises his brows in confusion. "Sunflowers?"

Ray nods. "Sunflowers represent many things. But, they mostly hold the meaning of lasting happiness and loyalty."

He seemed quite knowledgeable about the topic. Yoosung came up to the large flowers, his fingers tracing over the stem of one of them thoughtfully. Lasting happiness and loyalty... is that how Rika thought of him? Such a sentiment made him smile.

What made him believe V's shameless lies in the first place? Of course she never died. He knew it in his heart.

"There is... more to it, though."

Ray adds, his voice sounding quieter this time around.

"More?"

The other man is now standing close to him, their shoulders touching ever so slightly. Ray doesn't seem to notice or think anything of it, but Yoosung finds himself becoming rather flustered at the sudden proximity, staring up at the hacker with a light blush dusting his cheeks.

"Sunflowers always follow the sun, wherever they turn. With no exceptions, no setbacks. My Savior told me that their unwavering loyalty to the sun reminded her of you. And, once you joined our paradise, she knew for sure that you will never stray from her." Ray turns to look at him in the eyes, his gaze strangely methodical. It causes him to gulp nervously. "-Sunflowers are lost without their sun. They cannot survive without its guidance. A sunflower without its sun there to tell it where to look, is lost and wilted. It will continue to wilt in misery until its sun comes back to show it where to turn."

Yoosung's breath grows shaky. He may have been bad at catching allegories, but this one was pretty on the nose. It left behind a bitter taste in his mouth.

"...I suppose a sunflower really is... my flower."

For some reason, that admission felt heavy in his gut. Like a bag of rocks settling deep within his body, pulling him down with their weight.

"You should be grateful that our Savior will always be there to guide you from now on. You will never feel the absence of her gentle hand again. Isn't that what you always wanted? To be told what to do."

"...Savior is too kind."

[miss-menhera]

Wow... do I need to make my own post about this? Yeah I know Mysme is irrelevant or whatever, but guys you guy think Rika is part of the dark triad? You think she killed her own dog in a psychotic episode???? You think her savior complex arised from Sally's death??? No, just... it feels like you read half the story

Rika killed Sally

Don't get me wrong. I've been trying to figure out this for years and I think I finally did. Rika refused to treat Sally who was sick with cataracts leading the dog to run and get hit by a car. Or so are we told.

The whole story tells us that after Sally died, Rika wasn't the same person. Yoosung itself confirms this. Chatroom Old Memory, Jaehee Route, Day 9, 21:47.

Look at how it's highlighted the "she hated herself for underestimating Sally's pain."

But then: "That Sally must have been so frustrated to jump towards the cars." I can see Yoosung justifying Rika over and over again.

I had to study a bit so I'll put my research here:

"... cataracts are not fatal, and most dogs learn to live with the condition. Your dog can also have surgery to remove the cataracts to prevent blindness." Wagwalking.com

" Some owners witness severe depression in their dogs. Some owners report aggressive behavior changes. And yet, other owners report that they never even suspected that their dogs went blind because nothing changed. Some dogs remain totally unfazed by the situation. As with humans, dogs may utilize a variety of behaviors to help them cope with vision loss." Petfinder.com

"She would have treated if she knew." Says Yoosung. That already tells us a lot about Sally's personality as a dog. Most dogs DON'T jump in front of the cars. In fact, it's well known that when you're blind (even if you just close your eyes or cover them with something.) and you start walking slowly right? Your other senses start to develop really fast in order to supply the lack of vision. That happens with every other sense. And I'm not 100% that this happens to dogs, as I'm not one but I don't think we're so different to say the opposite. So Sally must have been a calm dog. Really calm and sweet.

"She was much cuter when she was alive." and "one day she ran into the streets and got hit by a car." Tell us a lot too. It always seemed to me like that was weird. Dogs, and humans too, don't tend to run if they can't see. But:

"Dogs have a strong “fight or flight” response. Based on a variety of factors, a dog may stand up and fight challenges (attackers) or he may flee (run from attackers). Neither response is wrong. They are both survival mechanisms and don’t have any reflection on a dog’s intelligence or “goodness”." Petfinder.com

And

"These dogs to become overwhelmed and “shut down”. They begin moving slowly. They lower their heads, ears and tails. In effect, they become depressed." Petfinder.com

I'm not sure where I read that she (Rika) refused to treat Sally's eyes. I'll put it here as soon as I find it.

Found it! Thank you Jumin!! Jaehee Route, Chatroom: I can't understand, 23:11.

I'm sorry Yoosung, but even if Jumin was in love with Rika, he's still more reliable than you.

Anyway, the whole thing here's what I think, I think Sally might have been running away from Rika who could have been in middle of one of her episodes. As we know she wasn't emotionally stable and was very violent. Probably PTSD. and then the accident/murder happened. Wether it was Rika who pushed the dog, or it was Sally running away from Rika, the result was the same. Sally died.

And I bet that triggered Rika Savior Complex.

I know there's more to Sally's death but I haven't been able to find it right now. But my suspicion was already confirmed as far as I can remember, I just don't know where in the game. That also reminds me a bit of the dark triad. (Health.com)

The dark triad personality has been associated with tendencies toward violence and criminal activity. (verywellmind.com)

Narcissism: defined as feeling superior and entitled, but underneath the grandiosity is typically a sense of inadequacy (Health.com)

(Narcissus or what you guys call 'daffodil' flower is a good hint, but also her whole story.)

Machiavellianism: being highly manipulative, willing to deceive others to get what they want and having a cynical view of the world (Health.com)

(she started with the R.F.A. and moved onto Mint Eye.)

Psychopathy: lacking empathy and being emotionally cold, while also impulsive and prone to taking big risks (Health.com)

(Mint Eye, the bomb.)

All of these, are traits Rika has. Unfortunately it is very common

"... those who scored highly on the Dark Triad had more negative attitudes towards animals and were more likely to show cruelty towards both people and animals." Smart Animal Training

Dark triad traits in kids include bad behavior towards animals, bed-wetting frequently after certain age, and, most importantly, lacking a good relationship with the parents.

But how is this created? I studied this on school for a presentation (Psychopaths and Sociopaths.) so while I might have not the links or the presentation right now to back me up I still know a bit about it. It's a bit too long so I'll try my best to summarize it.

So basically when our mother gets pregnant with us, her chemical reaction (meaning she being sad, angry or happy.) to the news that she was going to become a mom and during the whole pregnancy made something trigger in our cells. And if she's not happy or calm, it can affect the fetus (another reason to be pro-choice) till the point of molding our brain and prefrontal cortex, but since our brain and prefrontal cortex finish developing when we're old, around mid-late 20's, this is not a huge damage, right?

Well, I read somewhere that Psychopaths are made (hereditary) and Sociopaths are created by the society, hence the name. But I think it's a bit more complex than that.

Now, I'm not an expert, and even my presentation can be lacking of certain information, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt. But when we are born, if our mother or father let us cry, our brain will start to develop the lack of empathy. Because we were not taken care off. So our baby brain understands that emotions are not allowed and our brain will stop creating those chemical components. And that goes well into childhood and adulthood. Repetitive behaviors, repetitive patterns and all that.

So as you can see, that becomes a problem. Now, most of the psychopaths or sociopaths are not even aware that they are one. Unless medical records say so. Some of these psychopaths receive training to be in society. And they are perfectly capable of behaving themselves. No. Not every psychopath is a murderer. In fact, most of the people who tend to kill, are people who have been peer pressured so much that they reacted to it. Your guess is correct, sociopaths.

Can you be both? Good question, I'm still researching but I think that's not possible so far. Sociopaths use the emotions as a form of control, psychopaths lack of emotions, they were not necessary when her/his parents refused to carry him/her. So how can they use them to control people? They can't. But they can use their training on how you're supposed to behave, to achieve domination. Both are highly intelligent. Both are highly dangerous.

As we know, Rika had an awful childhood. And even in her teenage years was really lacking of friends, peers or family who actually cared for her. It is also implied that she was raped or sexually assaulted by the priest in her memories. So that kind of life, isn't easy and leaves everlasting marks. Now, for the point of the argument, I refuse to diagnose her, plus I'm not an expert and she definitely has a lot of issues not just this one. That doesn't justifies what she did but it makes easy to understand her persona.

I do think that she has the traits of the dark triad as an adult, and I think she was perfectly capable of killing Sally in a way of "saving her" or at least, doing everything to avoid suspicion from RFA members. Would V know? I'm not sure. But Rika harming V's eyes is definitely related to that traumatic event.

*this post isn't complete nor finished as I still need some pieces of the puzzle, they did say a couple of things more about Sally on other routes but I need to replay in order to find out. But I'm posting it right now because I've been postponing it for so long (years, really. Since 2018 at least) that I'm gonna go nuts if I don't.

V is white. Rika is green

[marshmallowprotection]

I've been questioning this for a long time...

When Suit Saeran is talking, so to speak, to V in the garden on the 9th, Suit angrily tells him that he had abandoned him to which V replies that it was Saeran who abandoned him. I think V says something like this "It was you who abandoned me" I don't know, it just makes me cringe every time I read this sentence, but I just can't explain to myself why V would say something like that?

Okay a lot of things happened, mistakes and misunderstandings but isn't it so blatant of V to say that to Saeran? (V knew that Rika had taken Saeran and did nothing to go after him during all that time).

Is there something I'm not seeing, is there a reason behind those words, what does V mean when he points to Saeran as the one who abandoned him? I'm going on the side that it's a script error or something unless if there is an explanation. I don't get it, sorry haha.

To preface this, I don't think you should take anything you read when it comes to specific lore like this in the literal sense. They are known to change things after the fact in this game and the rest of us have to work to piece it together to make sense of it. The story of how Saeran was brought to Mint Eye changes depending on where you are in the game.

In the diary, Saeran is kidnapped by some of Rika's guards on the street and brought to Mint Eye on his way home from the Cathedral. He's tortured countless ways in Mint Eye until the pain becomes too much to handle and Ray awakes in response.

[Check out Saeran's Diary in this post.]

That is the canon we are supposed to follow in this situation, ignoring anything that might have been shared in the casual and deep routes up until this point. Because, there are bits and pieces in those other routes imply that he might have gone along with Rika willingly, that he might’ve been the one to kill his mother instead of Rika, and that he might’ve had more time with Rika and V than what we see shown.

I have my own thoughts on those theories, but I digress. In the diary, when he gets kidnapped, he mentions two specific instances that're meant to correlate to this. Before he’s kidnapped, he finds Rika in the church, taking his photo off the wall of children that are members of the church. Whatever conversation he has with her is definitely off but he tries not to think much of it.

It's not long after that that he's followed home by a strange group of people, and he thinks it's his father coming after him, only to realize that those people don't work for his dad in the midst of the isolation he's put in at Mint Eye before he's brought to Rika in the basement. 

It's further developed in the After Ending by building on what's in the diary. Saeran spent most of his time at the church when not trapped at home with his mother. He didn't have a lot of one-on-one based interaction with most of the adults at the church, and what little time he did have with them, it wasn't spent fostering any sort of familial relationship. He says himself that he doesn't really view Rika or V as parents. I’d argue that Saeyoung does / did, but that’s not the case for Saeran. 

So, I do believe it's possible that if we follow this line of thinking that is given to us from the diary and the game, V was meant to meet with Saeran some time after Rika had him kidnapped and he didn’t show up. 

My problem with this specific set of information is that we are missing a lot of crucial details to round out this situation. Mother Choi was killed by Rika in self-defense, Jihyun was there with her and they had to “take care of it”.

Saeran wasn’t home during this altercation, obviously, but my main question is: where in the world was he staying if he wasn’t living with Rika and V? Rika and V talked Mother Choi into letting him attend the cathedral classes. I can only imagine that the church was letting him stay there overnight now and again.

That is the only thing that makes sense to me at this point in time with what information that's been given to me. It's the only thing that makes sense with the information they've given us, but there are a lot of holes in this because Cheritz is not that good at communicating between writing teams as these things are created as there are a lot of plot holes that pop up that shouldn’t be there.

I will admit they did a lot to make it cohesive, but there are a few holes here and there that haunt me to this day. This would explain why when Saeran tried to run home and found police tape at the scene, Jihyun had all the reason to pull him away from the crime scene and cover everything up. Saeran might’ve wanted to see his mother after staying at the church, and V couldn’t say no, so that’s how that happened. 

But, my main problem with him being kidnapped stems from the fact that he was trying to leave the cathedral and go home that day those believers got him, a home that should've been impossible for him to go to because his mother was no longer there and the police would have been scouring the area for him. Certainly they would not have allowed him to continue staying in that house given what happened there. 

Rika and V were at odds after Mother Choi's death as well. That was Rika's breaking point, her point of no return as seeing herself as the devil who cannot be saved, so at least, that explains why Rika and V had no communication between them which led to Saeran being all by himself in this situation to get kidnapped to begin with. I wonder sometimes if V assumed Rika would keep her promise and still look after Saeran while he was away, likely hunting for information to do what he could to ruin Saejoong Choi's career, and that's why he was the one who said: "Saeran, you left me."

I don't think V knew it was Rika who took Saeran at first, but it would not take much for him to start putting the pieces together given what we know.

He had to spend a lot of time figuring out where she was, where she took him, and what she was doing in the mountains. There is so much information we are not given in this game about Rika and V at the end of their relationship and the start of Mint Eye. There is so much there that could help us create a more cohesive understanding of this situation, and while I will admit that Rika Behind fills in a lot of these holes, I’m left wondering more and more every day with what I wasn’t told. 

I don't think that was the best choice of words, even if he pieced together the truth of the situation there was no reason to say that Saeran left him, but V is not one to use the best language even when he's trying his best to help. I mean, after all, he definitely didn't make himself look good at the beginning of Ray Route.

He kept pushing for Ray to listen to him, begging and pleading in a way that certainly made him, and the RFA by extension, look bad. In universe, at that moment, even if you have doubts about Mint Eye's goals and the truth behind the RFA, you see something that would make anyone doubtful.

Who would you believe in that situation? Ray lied to you about Mint Eye and the RFA, but he also warned you that V and Seven were horrible, horrible people. You might be rightfully upset with him, but when V shows up and Ray has a panic attack, what does that look like? What do you think about someone who has a presence that sends somebody into a downward spiral?

You don't have enough time to process all of what V’s saying, you just see Ray huddled over in pain. This isn't the last time his language isn't the best in his attempt to save Ray and Saeran. But, the true intent is there, it's just his execution and dialogue that end up being messy. V is a character who can be best described as the path paved to hell is made with good intentions. 

That being said, I wish I could give you an exact answer, but unfortunately, I can't give you an answer when even I don't have the slightest idea how to frame this situation outside of what I've told you here. This is one of those things where you're just going to have to draw your own conclusion or rip your hair out.

One thing MysMe artists won't tell you: drawing Rika is equally as frustrating as looking at her.

This is just a sketch. I'm gonna try to paint it.
