1st Place: Fugue 52″ X 52″ By Lucy Engels Edinburgh, Midlothian, United Kingdom Individual Member

I think it's so funny how Natsu Hyuuga has pressed so many times how "Kusuriya is not a love story. Romance is not the focus. Also fuck Jinshi" then write up the greatest slow burn ever known to man. Not only that, she's literally made Jinshi, the very character she's known to VOCALLY DESPISE, to be one of the most fleshed out characters in the entire 15 volumes of the light novel

what do you like about yuu? i think i started liking them after the octavinelle arc where they got KICKED OUT of their ONLY semblance of a home because they were being punished for some stupid mistake their friends made. nothing against adeuce grim or octavinelle anymore but man. i wouldve been PISSED.

EVERYTHING. but I think what really resonates for me is that yuu's experience in twisted wonderland is just what being disabled is like for me. I don't have to imagine what it's like being in a place where everyone possesses abilities that I don't. that's just what it's like!!!

like, yuu relies on the goodwill of everyone around them just to live. they're being abused and extorted by the adults in their life and they literally can't do anything about it because they rely on them. they have no autonomy. they're smart but they struggle in school because they can't do what everyone else can. they're constantly infantilized, considered innocent or dumb or naive. they're made fun of for not understanding things that "should be obvious" and bullied for being different. for being weak. they have feelings of helplessness and are arguably pretty depressed because of that

like I know it's just that they're from another world, but I still see them as autistic (among other things) because they resonate with me so much. this game is such a comfort for me because of yuu, despite their obvious differences, their obvious disadvantages, is still accepted by their peers, is still able to make friends, is still considered smart and cunning and strong and interesting. that's just so good

there's so much to love about yuu but yeah. I've been with them from the start. if they were written in any other way I probably wouldn't have liked the game as much

OUR GUY :) :] :> :0

HOLDING MY SON LIKE THE PROUD FATHER THAT I AM <333

LOOK AT HIMMMM 😭😭

I am very excited about people getting into the anime.

Been watching The Apothecary Dairies and I gotta say, that’s gotta be one of the most feminine shows I’ve seen in a while (and I say this as a compliment). I didn’t realize how much I’ve needed to watch something very obviously made by and for woman, that isn’t “girl power” bull. My Lord, it’s such a breath of fresh air.

I’m not really smart enough to explain what I mean by this, but if you got the time to watch it, the anime is 9 episodes atm, and the dub is at episode 7 at the time of me writing this. Go give it a watch

I thought of something. So you know how Grim calls Yuu/Mc "henchman"? Naturally, the first thought is having superiority over them and filling up his ego, but what if it is something else?

In stories at one point a someone close to the protagonist will betray them like friends or siblings, but with the villains very rarely the henchmen betray them unless they have prolonged contact with the "good guy" or the villain is abusive to the henchman.

What if Grim calls you henchman because he trust that you will never leave him and maintains his ideal goal of being someone important?

Since he is always by your side and doesn't harm you, there is no reason for you to turn your back towards the Great Grim, right?

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart
