Inking the neat lines is the worst part of digital art imo, I refuse to do it. Do "people" enjoy it and if so why??

My single original act is printing out 'Life Support' by Sam Smith and analysing it like a damn poem.

So here are my findings:

The speaker instantly takes control, stating that "this is my world, this is my choice" with the repetition of the possessive pronoun "my" implying that the speaker is the main focus of the relationship and that there isn't an equal power balance.

The use of "drug" connotes to both medical recovery and addiction, suggesting that even though the lover helps the speaker, the speaker feels overly dependant on their support. This is furthered by "I'm just hangin' on your answer", showing how much the speaker values their lovers response and that they are close enough to use 'slang' yet the verb hanging alludes to death and danger.

Even though the building of the bed suggests the speaker greatly their lover, we see that they take away their lover's agency in how the two questions "can't you see that I am yours? So will you be my life support?" Are instantly followed by "you're my life support". Rather than wait for an answer, the speaker seems to answer for them, trapping the lover in this role.

Additionally the latter question clearly emulates "will you marry me?", by replacing marriage with life support, the speaker instills a sense of urgency and that they will die without their lover. The title of the song being "life support" makes it clear that the writer wished to emphasise this point of toxic dependance.

The poem has cyclical structure with the lover starting and ending surrounded by darkness. This suggests that despite the questions and requests from the speaker, there has been no progress in the relationships.

Additionally, it may suggest the lover has a poor mental state and isn't receiving the care they need from this rather one-sided relationship. This is ultimately made clear in how the speaker is "sick of waking up in darkness", greatly contrasting the idea of their lover being like a medical drug.

Despite acknowledging that the relationship is what is making them sick, the speaker refuses to let go of their lover. Perhaps this is an allegory for the issue of patients becoming addicted to their pain medication past when the medication is no longer needed. By personifying this issue into two people in a relationship, it shows how much power and influence the drugs can have and that often times, addiction replaces and destroys romantic relationships.

I think we should make that X red and stick a 0/10 next to it, feedback being "okay for a first attempt."

Gosh it's been ages since I've finished a drawing

Ok but what if Crowley's a fan of Alpha Centuri because its the closest place you can see his nebula from?
