This is another painting I did for school. This was a test piece to see how the acrylic pen would look under the oil paint. I was really happy with how subtly it shows through.

The writing underneath is actually the Sailor Moon End theme. I used Caroline Makes Music's English lyrics.

I figured out my process with this piece, and it served me well when I went on to do my final.

Performing Ease: Emotional detachment and masculinity in Skip and Loafer

At first glance, Skip and Loafer appears to be a gentle slice-of-life story, one that prioritizes everyday interactions over dramatic conflict. Yet beneath its soft tone lies careful attention to emotional realism and an exploration of the subtle ways people shape themselves to meet social expectations. The series is less concerned with overt transformation than it is with the quiet negotiations that define social life: how individuals present themselves, how they are perceived, and how these performances shift depending on context. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the characterization of the male main character Sousuke Shima, whose easygoing charm and apparent kindness mask a more complicated relationship with his own emotions. Through Shima, the series quietly critiques how emotional detachment, particularly in boys, is not only normalized but socially rewarded. By placing his performed ease alongside protagonist Mitsumi Iwakura’s emotional transparency, Skip and Loafer reframes vulnerability as not a liability, but a necessary alternative to restrictive models of masculinity.

Within the school environment, Shima occupies a familiar role: he is popular, approachable, and effortlessly likable. He is first introduced when Mitsumi, overwhelmed and disoriented on her way to school on her first day in Tokyo, becomes flustered and lost; Shima steps in to calmly guide her, immediately establishing himself as someone socially adept and composed under pressure. This moment also positions him as a foil to Mitsumi, whose earnestness and lack of urban experience contrast sharply with his ease in the city.

Skip and Loafer highlights how gendered expectations around emotion are learned and reinforced at an early age.

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.
