the meanest thing you do to yourself is pretend you don’t want the things you want. shrink the desire before anyone can see it. call it unrealistic before someone else does. and then walk around with this low grade starvation you can’t name because you buried the appetite so deep even you forgot where you put it. wanting things is dangerous. I know. it opens you up to disappointment and to looking foolish and to reaching for something that might not reach back. want it anyway. the alternative is a life of pretending you’re full.
Noa embraces the “tacticool magical girl” aesthetic that many others have been inspired to do. She has followed in the footsteps of other liminals that figured that if they were stuck cleaning up in the bastions, they might as well look cool while doing it.
Claire’s approach to her equipment for the bastions is that of practicality. Minimal flair and maximum efficiency towards completing tasks. Her rifle towards the middle of the story is very much unrecognizable from what she started with.
@iaArt1 How did you make the backgrounds with the tanks? Your method seems alot more friendlier for a solo artist, so I'd definitely love to know more about it!
