Something I learned is if you don't step out of your artistic comfort zone a little, you're gonna be even more exhausted with making art. Your mind is a caged tiger and it needs to attack something new from time to time. Your mind is pacing in its enclosure 🐅

If you don't like drawing figures and poses because they're frustrating, draw figures and poses and get frustrated! Draw them! With anger! Swear and curse at them!

If you don't like drawing traditionally because there's too much room to make mistakes, draw traditionally and make mistakes! Scream while doing it! Put on scary music! Make it silly!

This goes for any kind of craft or skill

You stand to lose nothing in the end (Except maybe your own patience and sanity but that's temporary). But you do gain at least a little bit more knowledge and skill to feed your mind tiger

Some thoughts about Karin

Something I noticed has been bothering me for quite the time and I want to adress it: the way a parcel of the fandom portrays Karin. I already know she's heavily reduced to only being a girlfriend and she's flanderized by being put in the 'tsundere-rude-histeric-bitch' or in the 'femme fatale-teasing-sexy' boxes. I'll talk about something related to that flanderization.

MORE UNDER THE CUT:

Another one to add to these mischaracterizations is the 'sweet-lovingly-enamoured-when in love' personality I saw around in the fandom. It's way smaller compared to the other two, that's true, but this made me realize how people don't know how to portray a female character like her.

I'm in any way saying Karin can't be sweet or sexy or do/say things perceived as rude, of course she can be all of that, however what I constantly see is a stereotypical version of it. Honestly, I don't share much Karin content due to this problem; when I find a good depiction of her personality it's instant happiness.

Karin Sauer is extremely focused on her job, she's a female journalist in 1940s who was kidnapped as a child/teenager, saw the war horrors, documented them, survived police repressions and violence, saw job colleagues die, participated in civil rights organisations, was shot in the abdomen and because all of she went through, Karin built a strong persona, an armor to protect herself from these hardships, from the criticism, from her own insecurities. She cares for the other contestants but in her own way, a reflection of the way she was 'cared' for.

We see Karin breaking down in a few situations, two different ones and they both show how strong she is to persist in a profession that deals with many emotions through registering other's lives, sometimes happy, sometimes tragic and maintain professionalism. We all know seeing negative notices everyday, constantly, causes emotional damage and for her, documenting people dying, being dismembered, destruction, etc. probably very often surely affected her and the way she sees her profession and the world overall.

Putting a female character in stereotypical boxes, which does nothing besides more and more emptiness of what she truly is, doesn't feels right to me.

Give Karin the traits/actions she deserves: make her happy after discovering a new piece of information she can use to solve a mysterious situation, make her swear at officers for attacking innocent people, make her wear makeup and dress herself pretty for an important meeting but still being serious and assertive, make Karin have fun and feel nostalgic about her early days as a journalist, make her being awkward and avoidant when in love, etc.

Do justice to such an interesting and well-done female character.

Thanks for reading!
