it’s so interesting that you say they’re both good in some way. you’re right. however, people have been wording it more like “they are both bad in some way,” myself included. i got a lot of comments from friends about how they wanna shake these guys by the shoulders. honestly, ME TOO, but if someone shook some sense into them, we wouldn’t have pain siphon, and that would be very sad.

the importance of human pain is a topic close to my heart because it represents a broad spectrum of italian generational trauma. in my/my friends’ experiences, older generations are uncomfortable with any kind of pain and get frustrated when they have to process it. the way the cycle is broken is often when younger generations have to learn how to navigate that. the rich kids tend to stay sheltered within the mindsets and views of their parents, the ones who have had brushes with poverty tend to break the cycle and grow beyond. congrats to maurizio for breaking the vicious cycle. the arson was a little much, but it’s fine. we live and learn.

my art has changed a lot because i switched to doing my sketch and lineart drafts in pen and ink rather than digitally. thank you so much for noticing and appreciating the effort of my team and i!!!! i’m so glad you vibed with it.
