12th Mar 2022, 12:00 PM I’m starting to realize I enjoy drawing Yoshiko a lot :D y’all I can’t wait to show you what she looks like with her hair down and not wearing a suit!!

I didn’t have the chance to attach this yet—but my friend Molly and I made a video about the connection webcomic creators have with their characters.
Molly makes the webcomic Everpresent!

12th Mar 2022, 12:48 PM Yes, more talking Kairo. Or would you rather get socked in the face again? XD

12th Mar 2022, 1:12 PM Haha maybe he would if it’s simpler ;) he’ll get over this eventually, it’ll just be an adjustment!

12th Mar 2022, 3:17 PM Ah that's interesting, so Kairo was also chosen for this because they thought he'd be kind and thoughtful to them along with being a skilled teacher.

Yoshi continues making good points, seems Kairo's awareness might be expanded a bit now, but I also it's cool that I get the sense that he didn't mean to come across as callous

That's a great last panel there of Yoshi so detailed! she does look like she's fun to draw :)

12th Mar 2022, 5:46 PM Yep, Chief wouldn’t have picked Kairo if he suspected him to be biased or unkind in any way. He loves those kids!

And your senses are good I think d(^^)

Yus, I LOVE drawing her now!! UwU

12th Mar 2022, 7:33 PM Basically, yeah, we're having you train two superpowered kids with completely different emotional needs and hangups and also if you're not considerate and friendly enough to them, your butt is personally gonna be on the line even though you're totally out of your depth and also none of us are gonna be helping you much, but we'll definitely criticize you if you don't figure this out on your own without any mishaps.

Y'know. No pressure, though.

12th Mar 2022, 7:44 PM Ouch that is harsh when you out it that way! Maybe Yoshi needs to cut him a little slack, although she wants to see more effort on his part for sure.

I bet Chief or Derek would be more helpful to talk to, too bad they’re so busy/aren’t the ones closely supervising 🤔

12th Mar 2022, 10:01 PM Being a leader and teacher means you have to increase the complexity of your behavior and learn theory of mind. You should be assertive but not insensitive or mean to the reasonable human emotions and needs of your students. Especially if they're young, new and inexperienced and are otherwise well behaved like Kat and Evan.

12th Mar 2022, 10:13 PM Hm, wow. Well said!

"Oh no! Has it come to that?"

13th Mar 2022, 1:35 PM If Kairo is considered kind in training, I wonder what not-kind would be.

13th Mar 2022, 1:37 PM I think Drew was referring to his impression of Kairo in general, but yeah, fair!

13th Mar 2022, 10:33 PM OOh, I love your drawings of Yoshi a lot, too! Especially the last panel, her hair looks so real. :D

And her last comment to Kairo, OOF! Hey, you were picked because you were kind, so be kind!

AND! Ah, thanks for posting a link to the video and to my comic! I loved making it with you!
