Yup. I was surprised, too. Back in middle school, we did a report on the "real" fairytales behind popular/well-known ones. I did "The Little Mermaid" and I was downright depressed after reading the original. It's no wonder Disney changes them to happy endings. lol I did look up a couple other ones, but there was one that downright disturbed me. I think it was either Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. I don't recommend reading them, though. lol But yeah, I love the focus the series had on females in general and how they didn't really need a "hero" to save them. Heck, in Ahiru's case, it was often the other way around. Plus, amusingly, Mytho was the real damsel in distress. XD
I admit I do have a thing for the bad boys sometimes, but generally not ones who are straight up evil and have no redeeming qualities. More or less, I like the male tsunderes the best, I think. They try to act all tough and manly and rude, but they're woobies on the inside who cuddle with small animals and blush like a cherry when they're embarrassed. So needless to say, I warmed up to Fakir later on.
Oh, I definitely do have a line of what not to cross in my commissions. And thankfully, people generally respect those. There's no sense making yourself like physically or mentally uncomfortable or ill just from trying to draw something, after all. I'm sure anyone could agree with that.
Yup, that's how I feel about it. What I have works and it works decently, so I shouldn't be looking for ways to spend money until I might actually make some money in the future. lol And that's definitely not this year. Some people may consider it boring or "too responsible", but I like to be really careful with money. I splurge when I know that I can. I actually hate spending money. lol
Hahahaha. Yeah, Justin did that last night. Some of us were wary about going to sleep, because we thought the Waluigi eggs might be sold out in the morning and didn't know if we should buy one. So he was like "here, this solves the problem". Anyway, I got what I went into the event for, so I'm pleased. The time and effort was worth it, in the end.
