To Pretend That Horrible People Cannot Make Good Art Is Another Way To Conflate Beauty And Talent With

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Valkyrie Cain is such a wonderful character. Wretched beast of a woman. Has dirty laundry lying under her bed. Her subconscious turned into its own person and is evil. Her reflection is also evil. She's claustrophobic. She's bisexual. She's a horse girl. Her best friend is a 400 year old corpse. She's buff as hell. She's terrible at flirting. She was a weird lonely preteen. She's the most powerful sorceress in the world. She routinely slept on some random couch until she was like fifteen and the irresponsible adult / corpse dragging her along to magical adventures got her her own bed in his house. She's a girlfailure/girlboss super combo and I love her.

Watched Vol 3 and I’m going to need some therapy.

Good Job!
