Broken Fourth Wall

[Michen_S]

...
Michen_S is now playing Osu

Michen growled and did a facepaw. This could take a long time *again*, and this was not what their human side's art frequency needed. Far from.
"Please finish that piece soon. You've made too much progress with it to leave it as is now!"

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che looked up to the screen of her creator.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Yes. He rather posts on forums, reads comics and plays games than he draws."
Che said smart: "But you have the same thing with writing!"
"...Eeeeehhh... Ok, I'll admit, you're right."

[Michen_S]

"Please, I know you like drawing. I also know what's holding you back."
...
"I understand what you're going through. I am you, after all."
Why is it so darn difficult?
"Because you know exactly what you can get into."
That makes sense. I'll take it easy.
"There we go. That sounds a lot better." Michen turned back to Che. "Sorry for that. Where were we again?"

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che answered with a smile: "We were discussing users."

[Michen_S]

Michen sighed. "The weirdo controlling me by typing on the laptop isn't just my 'user'. They're me, strange as that sounds." Michen looked at the screen. "You might not think much of them, but they're easily stopped from drawing by fear. Fear of what others would think of the drawing, especially the people with a blood bond to them."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che listened without moving. Then she said: "A case of a form of perfectionism. I can tell you that what you draw cannot be perfect. And besides, you're not that bad at all. I daresay that mostly the subjects you choose is a reason for complaining."

[Michen_S]

Michen nodded with a worried expression. "Uh... Che? That's exactly the problem... Sometimes, they kinda expect topics to be sensitive, and I can't blame them for that. Because, sometimes... They are."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che thought about that before answering: "An artist can choose themselves whether they deal with controversial or sensitivite issues. But if you do, it's always a risk. And I can't take that away. Besides, the only way to find out..."

[Michen_S]

Michen sighed. "Thanks, that helps. But due to the nature of my posts, I'm not afraid to post it online. I'm afraid what the people with a blood bond will say."

[Tim Siguire]

Hey Michen. Dont even worry too much, try not too. Just look forward to the fact you finished it. Your effort didnt go wasted. Even if someone says something, thats one less opinion they cant use, making them less.... uhhh.... less thinking...


"Take a break, you just woke up dood. Michen, the ones who speak for themselves and not for you... morelike, compliment versus backhand. Compliment your own efforts and make yourself stronger. The backhands can always miss whats important to your art."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che smiled. "You know, Tim, I think you're pretty right there. It's not up to them what you draw, and if they don't like it, then that's their opinion. Besides, it's time to learn not to cling to others' opinions. Even if they're family."

[Michen_S]

"Thanks, you two. That means a lot to me." Michen seemed to be a bit calmer now. "Oh, besides... A new character might join within a couple of weeks." Michen thought that the new character could make things a little more exciting here. You know, just in case if things weren't excited enough in this thread already. Michen put up a kind of derp-face. How big was the chance things weren't exciting enough in this thread. One character more or less wouldn't make a big difference now.

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che replied: "My creator thinks that if he implements someone else, he might lose overview. However, things have become a lot calmer now, so he might start considering it."

[Michen_S]

Michen looked around. "Hey, you're absolutely right... Where have Cifero's characters gone off to?" Michen was slightly confused, and understandably so. Cifero used to post here a lot to their idea. What could've happened?

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che shrugged. "I dunno. Haven't seen them in a while though."
