docholligay replied to your post: hahaha I’m in a MOOD and drew somethin…

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS I’M SO PROUD

Thanks! I think you and I have a lot of the same feelings about drawing, so I was like, if Doc drew this I would want her to post it. So I posted it. And I’m still like EVERYTHING IS WRONG MICHIRU’S LIMBS ARE ALL SO BAD but. it’s up. (And I even refrained from making the “failure refers not only to the subject matter but also my execution of it” joke)

Thank you! It’s such a heartbreaking prompt. And lol, I feel like I’m always so hard on Michiru and Haruka’s parents, but OH WELL.

docholligay said: Ah, the phrase about composition is so lovely, and how Michiru used to tell her all kinds of art things, but couldn’t tell her anything now, what a lovely contrast. And then holding her horribly broken hand, what a lovely thought

Ahhh I’m glad you liked that! I’m drawn a lot to the idea that Michiru would actually genuinely want to teach Haruka a little about music and art, less in a condescending or even an enthusiastic way, just more like, there’s beauty in two things that aren’t Haruka and Haruka should get to experience that as fully as she can. 

docholligay said: I love that this is Haruka’s fault, that she has to live with knowing Michiru died because of her, and has to carry that weight. And “they were right about me” oh fuck you

AHAHA it’s so horrible. Haruka wants to be angry and the Kaiohs, at anyone, really, but she can only really be mad at herself. And it’s not her fault, but it is, and ahaha poor bb.

docholligay said: And Oh, oh Haruka waking up and finding Michiru gone, so sad, so lovely. This was great

thank yooooooou
