Why Did My Brain Do This - Tumblr Posts

Me Vs Me

My friends gave me this idea so I used two Genshin images I swear I'm about to draw more of similar things to these

Yes I did make my new video watermark my art water mark.

Original images

Why did I use those? Because my friends said

„Your boss battle should be fighting yourself because [They never gave me an actual reason] it's cool”

Ok y’all I’m cryingggggggggg right now, because my brain didn’t PROCESS that Maddie even said I love you to Chimney. I’m not even joking. I now have to go back and rewatch that scene. How the hell did my brain do that to me?!?!?!?!?

Something I really love about the “i love you” scene with Madney is how much they didn’t make a big deal about it? We see Chim’s face as he processes what she says to him, and then when she says it again, but he doesn’t stop their conversation to go, “Oh my goodness, you thought you couldn’t say it again because of the trauma, you said you love me for the first time.” 

The conversation just…continued, with both of them understanding that she had said it for the first time and Chim being happy but not taking out time to focus on her trauma or this big step, and even being a little jokey with her later when she says she loves him and he says “ditto.” And I just really love that so much; the show doesn’t point out the obvious and trusts us to remember this about them and doesn’t stop this big moment in its track to have Chim potentially retrigger her or bring attention to this step for Maddie. She’s just healing one step at a time and reclaiming things in her life and we get to be a part of that without having the show constantly bring up that she was traumatized and it’s just??? So very nice to see and a great portrayal of having a survivor onscreen in a way I haven’t seen in other shows before.
