Kind of a Mother's Day post (and continuing to add my old art to here)

Donatella and Lili would be a cute dynamic I think. Once Donna gets to know Lili anyway, I'm sure there would be some 'ooohh, so you're dating my son 🙃' vibes at first

The Aquato siblings being chaotic

"DEFEND HIMSELF?! FROM WHAT!?!?"

Also, this is what I think their reactions were when they found out their mom had a boy

Poor Frazie (her baby brother will grow on her eventually)

Finally made a comic on my computer for the first time in a while lol

i've gone on about this before, but i'm glad dion didn't apologize because having him process his own issues regarding psychics and his family is far more compelling than just apologizing after a single day. reconciliation can take time, and that's what pn2 shows pretty well. yes, the psychic seven fall back into a steady routine, but there's such a wealth of history and tragedy and love between them that it's understandable. for the aquatos, it's far different as there was a high level of stress caused by the "passing of the torch" of anti-psychic sentiments, along with the subsequent revelation that their pasts were twisted. it's going to take longer for others to move on, consider their actions, which is what happens in the final conversation between augustus and raz. the same can be said for dion, who heavily emulates his father and strives to be the best for his mother. his whole life has centered around their beliefs, so learning most of it has been a falsehood, that his beliefs are inherently wrong *because* of said twisted history and previous about-face from augustus, is a lot to process than just immediately coming to terms with it and apologizing to raz. it gives him a great difference from frazie, who is more willing to meet raz in the middle, despite her own misgivings and uncertainties and frustrations and misdirected shame throughout the game.

at the same time, the joke he has about learning everything about psychics from queepie does ten morbillion percent damage to him as a character, like nooo, don't erase augustus passing down his anti-psychic sentiments to his son over a joke, nooo, don't downplay the learned beliefs and isolation of harboring anti-psychic sentiments from his parents and grandmother that helped alienate him from his own brother, who tries reaching out to him, and dion shows his silent remorse, but remains steadfast and stalwart for his parents and grandmother.
