31st Jul 2021, 12:00 PM Evan might be a bit of an over-thinker, but I get his urgency to look out for Nee-chan.

What do you think of Evan’s view of Kat? Agree/disagree?

31st Jul 2021, 12:09 PM Loving this glimpse into Evan's innermost thoughts. It's kind of a harsh thing to say but also kinda true?

Though I do suspect Kat may have more self-awareness than she's getting credit for here.

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 12:41 PM Sounds about right!! And thanks—it’s fun to show how drastically different these two are from each other.

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 3:28 PM Also I totally forgot to say that I love your new avatar!!

31st Jul 2021, 3:37 PM Haha thanks, your new one is fun too :D

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 5:00 PM Lol thank you ;3

31st Jul 2021, 12:25 PM What a cynic at 14! It's a shame that he's right so many times :(

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 12:41 PM Yeah, if only his experience wasn’t so negative so early on :’(

31st Jul 2021, 1:13 PM Kairo's expressions on this page are great!

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 1:15 PM Ooh thank you!!

31st Jul 2021, 1:25 PM Unfortunately, Evan has a point, but at the same time that's a miserable existence. Sooner or later, you are going to have to let others in, or you will implode in your own darkness.
There needs to be some kind of balance

And Kairo, you are too old to not be able to connect the dots here. Make a choice! (Just consider me yelling this on every nev page until he does, and if he makes the wrong choice I will yell something else!)

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 3:26 PM Absolutely! It’s a toss-up between Evan and Kairo on who has the worst mental health in this story (^^;) I certainly do not condone everything they say lol

Oh amen to that! You’re probably right—this could even be willful ignorance at this point.
At least yelling at characters can be entertaining \(-ㅂ-)/

31st Jul 2021, 4:55 PM Did you just use a Hangul consonant there?

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 4:59 PM Lol I don’t know what I used—I have a keyboard I downloaded with pre-built emojis made from all the buttons that already exist on a regular keyboard

Danny McLimmon

31st Jul 2021, 7:02 PM Ah, OK. Well, in the emoji thing, it looks like you used a "ㅂ," which is the Korean consonant that sounds roughly like the letter "b."

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 7:27 PM Whoah cool!! Yeah for all I know it uses keys from other languages as well for more variety

DHManga

31st Jul 2021, 2:15 PM Seems like I have a (crazy) recluse who'd relate to Evan a lot. I would say they might be potential conversation partners, but then again, Evan doesn't seem like the talky type.

ShaRose49

31st Jul 2021, 3:29 PM Yeah, Evan’s conversations are either non-existent or stiff and weird normally

DHManga

1st Aug 2021, 9:18 PM Weird stuff; sounds interesting. Curious what kinds of topics those might be.

ShaRose49

1st Aug 2021, 10:41 PM Well I mean this conversation is sort of a good example. It’s not always the topics themselves but the way he discusses them…it’s stiff and antagonistic. If Kat was around it would probably be only stiff because she would scold him for his lack of basic kindness (^_^;)

DHManga

3rd Aug 2021, 4:01 PM I'm predicting Kat will have a word with Derek after this, find out how their conversation went, and then basically what you described will happen in short order.

ShaRose49

3rd Aug 2021, 4:53 PM Haha X3

1st Aug 2021, 4:23 PM Again really great job with the development of Evan ! I think he has an interesting view of Kat, hm I think from what I’ve seen Kats def optimistic but maybe not super naive as Evan claims (but he may know her a wee bit better than me 🤣)

Kairos faces are ace

Great new avatar btw !

ShaRose49

1st Aug 2021, 7:50 PM Cool, that’s a good take!!

Haha thanks, I love drawing weirded-out expressions o - O

Yo thanks again!!

1st Aug 2021, 9:01 PM Love the avatar of Sharose eating ramen.

ShaRose49

1st Aug 2021, 10:42 PM Haha loooool thank you!! It’s Kat, but she’s a lot like me so I’ll accept that <333

Slim Kittens

2nd Aug 2021, 10:46 AM Gotta confess, I get the two of you mixed up :)

ShaRose49

2nd Aug 2021, 11:56 AM Haha it's all good!!

Reapeageddon

3rd Aug 2021, 10:02 AM If anyone who seemed nice to Kat ended up betraying and sabotaging her, I'm pretty sure she can defend herself.

Other than that, I sorta disagree? Kat's view of the world does seem pretty naive, but that being optimistic about others doesn't outright mean that she's a fool.

ShaRose49

3rd Aug 2021, 10:48 AM Yeah I totally see where you’re coming from, those are good points! Evan is speaking from his own experience though, which has caused him to be a bit extreme I think. He doesn’t know any better either.

junoro

23rd Oct 2021, 1:01 PM I mean Evan isn't wrong about Kairo being suspicious, unfortunately. He might be a bit wrong about Kat, though? At least she makes huge progress when she's aware of her weaknesses and knows how to fix them.

ShaRose49

23rd Oct 2021, 4:53 PM I totally agree. I think they both have a lot to learn about Kat, and Kairo--while not the worst, certainly isn't quite a model citizen
