This is also a page featuring my own weird quirks. I don't like talking about serious matters. I feel awkward when people thank me or apologize to me, and REAL troubles? Yeah…I'm a much bigger fan of the “ignore it until it goes away” school of thought, and it's actually worked pretty well for me. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that most people can't and don't live like that…but I know nothing about it. It doesn't make any sense to me, so I can't write about it. Katyn's done with the whole issue, ready to forget it and have fun. To her, talking about it won't accomplish much except to prolong the problem. I think Ry is more like a “normal” person, honestly, and this attitude kinda puts him out a bit, poor guy. XD
(I swear Katyn's not a self-insert! She looks kinda like me too urg! I tried to design her to be very different from me! But since most of the story is told from her perspective, I have to write these scene from the perspective I know! After all she failed the Mary Sue test! Forgive me for all this? It's only because I know it's kinda weird and not how most people act, so i want to try to explain it all)
On the art, I had computer problems while coloring this, and it had been so long since that had happened, I was out of my habit of saving every few minutes *smacks forehead* SOOOO the result is that I did the highlighting super-fast with the airbrush to ensure it all got done on time. But…it really WAS a lot faster than my old method…what do you guys think? Like the look, or should I go back to the old method? (For comparison, check out the first page of the chapter, not last week's, because I screwed that one up a bit, it's not a good example for hi-lights) Give me your opinions!
Thanks for reading! See you next week!

Put his guilt aside? Well, yeah. THAT'S gonna be a bit of work, as he has quite a bit left over from... previous issues, I suspect.

The only time that talking about a problem ever helps to avoid that problem from occurring again is when I am dealing with a person who just can't let it go without discussing it. I also "just get over things". I don't understand not doing so. Meh.

Tantz Aerine - Whew! Good! I was hoping people would like it, because it's SO much easier! XD Yeah, I understand that's most people's view, but that's just never been my actual experience. Talking about my problems has NEVER helped me. Not once in 25 years that I can recall...but I can recall a lot of times where it made things worse. I don't dwell on things, though, I just get over them. (If I'm angry about something I find the best course is to get by myself where I can rant and scream and fume until it's out of my system, then it no longer bothers me and I can move on.) But I recognize that my way isn't common, and couldn't be used effectively by most people. Most people would probably end up dwelling as you say, me - I'm just happy. ^_^ 'Sides, people who want to talk about things too much make me really uncomfortable ^_^; (Yes, I am, in fact a freak XD) Thanks, though! I really don't understand the other side of it, so that was some good insight!

I really like this new method. His face in the last panel is very well done :) Talking about a problem usually prevents a similar one from ever occuring again, or, should it occur, to be resolved more effectively. That's what constructive talk on it is. Now to dwell on it simply to feel bad, that's counter-productive and therefore not a good thing to do :)
