Here is a reminder:
It’s okay to ask for help. You don’t have to do everything by yourself. Lean on your support system. Don’t let yourself drown in your pride.
You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
"Martin. Martin, look at me. Look at me and tell me what you see."
Aka, I'm still not over it.
"The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it."
poem by Mikko Harvey
I find it kind of funny that Shane is labelled the "i can fix him" romance of sdv but...he really isn't. You, the player, actually do very little in terms of "fixing" him. You watch him have a few breakdowns, and you intervene when he's drunk on the cliffs, but...he's the one who decides to start going to therapy. He's the one who decides to quit drinking. These are not things that you ever encourage him to do. You can headcanon certain interactions all you want, but this isn't like "the player chooses the genre of Elliott's future book." You have no impact on whether or not Shane cleans up his life. You support him at a few key moments, but the desire to change and be better comes from Shane, not the player.
You don't fix him. He fixes himself.
I'd be unstoppable if not for all the chronic pain and the Horrors.

I haven't drawn Deltarune stuff in forever, but with the new chapters coming out soon, I figured why not?

returning to my roots: markiplier egos
Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
— William Faulkner.
