Please, give, give me! Keep giving me everything!
Everything can be forgiven,
Because I'm the cutest!
I need to be your afterlife,
Eucharist, I deify–
God, oh fuck the fork and knife!
I'll rip in hands and teeth and take a bite!
Jesus!! Pray and pray,
Believer!! If you demand for salvation,
Oh yeah!! Then you gotta splatter that bright red stuff more and more, come on!
But those big eyes, those wet lips, I just loved everything about you,
If the time ever came, I loved you to the point
Of wanting to eat you.
I'm in your flesh and blood, in your bones,
I'm in, you're empty, you're a puppet of love.
You're in pain, aren't you? You can't breathe, can you?
I'll teach you that that's love.
this is both a commemoration to two years of this, and of finally completing the first trial. thank you to everyone who has stuck with me and interacted, or really just looked at my project. i'm very happy that you're willing to stick with dollgram despite the long waits.
individuals, alternate versions and notes under the cut
notes:
jun: to be honest i dont have much to say about this one i think its all pretty obvious. something that happened on accident was that i sketched a bunch of crack formations and then i realized this one was formed in a way that implies the impact that broke the mirror was on jun's heart and i really liked that. also jun is trapped in a mirror because she is stuck being someone's reflection we all know this. you can make a connection to the evil queen asking the mirror if shes the fairest of them all and getting mad when it says no but i wasnt thinking about that when i was drawing this.
tadashi: flower is their older sister, the locket is yuki, larger painting is their father. these portraits were used to represent tadashis victims in muzzle, so them trying to escape the portrait is symbolically them trying to escape the position of victim. their portrair is turning red, while their fathers is completely red, showing how they became a little like him in order to survive. the locket wraps around their portrait like a chain. the flower has three petals with one missing, like how the family has three living family members and one dead (this one was unintentional).
nobui: by escaping the hat, you can say that nobui and everything else are escaping confinement, and she is the only character who is not trapped in any way in their art. the representations of her friends have spiral eyes, which with nobui are used to show madness, but you can also take it as them being hypnotized. the watch is monochrome and backwards, showing both how akane doesnt fit into nobuis colorful world, and how nobui wishes to turn back time. by coming out of a hat she is taking on the role of rabbit, since thats the stereotype for magicians pulling things out of their hats, but i only realized this when the drawing was already done.
yuuhiko: his drawing is the smallest because all the props are contained inside the cage, since the cage is his entire world. inside the xs the swan is missing, yuuhiko is similar to how he looked at the end of selfish recall, and there is blood on the bottom of the cage. since xs mean mistakes, its showing us what yuuhikos biggest mistake was. also this was unintentional but the xs being the only thing outside the cage could be seen as yuuhikos mistakes being the only things that ever reach anyone. but i wasnt thinking about this i just did it because it felt kind of empty lol.
okay if there was anything else i forgot. thanks for reading.
Y: When... When you want to– cheer someone up. What are you supposed to do?
J: Hmm~ Well, I guess it depends on who it is. But it's usually good to give them a gift or take them to do something fun! Do you know what kind of stuff they like?
Y: Uh... some things, I guess...
J: Just a hunch, but... Is it Matsumo-chan?
Y: .....
J: Hmm. Maybe you could throw a rubber ball and tell her to bring it back to you. Should keep her occupied!
Y: ...She's not a dog.
J: Huh, really? She looks a lot like one when she's trailing after you.
Y: ......
J: Aw, I'm just joking~ You're not upset, are you?
