Love is mushy!!! And i get so shock while i look at romance sence bc they are to hurry or just to slow… I sometime feel like beating down some characters bc i get attach for to many reasons. Lol. For the love of your stories is just make people want to bit their fingers wanting the next page!!! (Lol). 🙂
You’re right love can be soooo very mushy >< I also think that some love stories do start out to fast or go to slow. I think it can be hard to find that certain steady pace for a story. Thank you for saying that about my story =D I think it's the cliffhangers that I give that really help to make things nerve-wrecking like that hahaha!
I have a lot of thoughts so bear with me here ! XD First , I LOVE this page ! It makes me soooo excited to see what the confession is going to be like ! ( > ___ < ) Mushy love stories with a hint of drama are my favorites ! Second , main characters that are weak also get on my nerves because the author makes you want to slap them and hit them to knock some sense in them . I've read too many stories where I wanted to physically jump into the book/drama/manga/anime to hurt the main character just so that they could FINALLY stand up for themselves . Grr ! Even thinking about it gets me mad . XD Third , I love Oriana's character and her personality so you shouldn't really have to worry about that . She great the way she is ! ( ^ ___ ~ )Fourth , I am writing a story and the main character in mines is slightly hard-headed but extremely caring . I don't find characters weak , per-se ! I think that every character SHOULD have a weakness as long as that weakeness doesn't take over the entire story . I hope I am explaining myself right . . . XD Anywho , I'm sorry my post is so long but I was trying to answer every single one of your questions . I hope I did ! I'm pretty sure I didn't leave one out . Did I ? XD P.S. GOOD JOB ON THE PAGE ! I always rate your post 5 stars ! XD
I believe you answered each one so YEA for helpful happy feedback =D Also I don’t mind long comments because I tend to rattle on when it comes to comics and my thoughts and opinions on different storytelling techniques ^^ Also Thank you for the five star ratings! Those really help me to know if I handled that page well enough or if I need to pay more attention to something because the rating was low. Of course I can’t base everything on the rating system but it really does help and it brings smiles to my face when I see those stars light up =D Thank you~~~~<3
Hi, Morishita! We haven’t talked in a while, huh? Haha!
I know exactly where you’re coming from, though. A lot of my characters tend to waver from one extreme to the other and then stabilize into sort of a middle ground. I like weak characters who end up becoming strong by the end of the story, and I like strong characters who have their weaknesses, too (and then there are weak characters who are strong in their own ways, oh man…)
Anyway, I think you’re doing a good job with Oriana here. She’s super relatable, and her insecurities are raw. (Is raw a good word? orz) I really REALLY like the message you’re trying to get across here, because issues with size and self-esteem are so common and so many people need to hear that they’re just fine the way they are 🙂
I’ve been following your comics ever since you left dA (that doesn’t sound creepy, right?) but I’m really enjoying the progress you’ve been making. I just wanted to speak up finally! 😀
Thank you Ash! You did such a great job wording what I was trying to say down to a lot fewer words Q^Q I have such a hard time trying to explain myself with words. That’s kind of the main reason why I decided to draw comics instead of write a novel….of course I also draw comics because I love drawing ehahaha (・∀・）~
It’s really a relief to know that Oriana is really relatable because I know that I couldn’t always get that kind of compliment when it came to my other stories and yes I think raw was a really good word to use because that’s one of the things that I’ve been working so hard to do. I want Oriana to be believable with her strong personality but also still trying to hide her weakness inside but because she wears her emotions on her shoulders you can see how she’s feeling just by looking at her face ^^;
Also don’t worry I don’t think that sounded creepy. It’s good to know that some of you were able to still find me because I was worried about that when I first moved. So YEA~ You found me…Followed me~ and Thank you for speaking up! I have a lot of fun interacting with everyone that’s been reading my comic and leaving a comment to talk to me ^^ It really brightens my day!
Also I went ahead and re-edited the filter settings and I think that now it should stop doing that to my name Q^Q Thank you for giving me the head’s up.
I can so relate. When I write, I tend to create these really hard headed, obstinant female chatacters with like one major character flaw or fear or something like that. I don’t like reading about girls who can’t ever stand up for themselves. It ticks me off. But then I thought up this one girl who’s really fragile and kind of simple and dependant and I kind of hate her. But she’s still relatable for a friend of mine who edits my stories for me so I’m trying to not change her character.
I grew up with a bunch of boys who didn’t have simpathy for me their one girl cousin, so I was treated like one of the boys most days. They did pretty much what you said your sisters would, “shut up and try harder if you don’t like it.” My cousin Tom still does actually, espacially with drawing. So a lot of my female characters have that kind of obstinant, ‘life’s tuff deal with it,’ ‘I can always do better’ mindset.
Oh my God, Oriana’s question to Jae Hwa really stikes a cord in me. I’m really insecure about my shape and weight and stuff. People never believe me when I tell them my weight, but I’m so concious about it. Like my aunt always says she needs to lose weight and she weighs about 140 and I always get upset cuz I weigh a good amount more than her and people says it’s because I’m taller but I’m only 5’6″. It’s one of my major personality flaws. I guess it turns into one of those, ‘I wonder if there’s somebody who’ll look past that and my insecutiry about?’ it kind of things. You know?
I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one that had to deal with other rough art critics in the family. I’ve had ones that were nice but then they weren’t very honest with me on how distorted the picture might have looked so it really helped to have that back support of my rough sisters ^^
I kind go through situations like that with my mom and sisters. They are a lot lighter than me but also a lot shorter so when they say that they want to lose weight and there like 160 or for my mom I think she’s 140 but because of how tall they are they carry their weight different and because of that they want to lose weight so it will go away but when I hear how much they way and compare that to myself I do feel a ping of hurt sometimes because I’m a lot bigger than them.
I know there are times where I do feel really down about my weight but after learning to accept myself for whatever weight I am it’s gotten better though I do have my times where I step on the scale to see where I am. So with this comic it’s actually really been helping me to voice my own worries and vent my own concerns so that I can better deal with not being able to fit in with the size that my family and friends say that I should be.
I also learned to not let myself get mad because others complain about how they need to lose weight and they’re already skinny, it clicked in my head after a while that even if I were to drop 100 pounds I still feel like I’d need to lose weight or be in constant fear to keep the weight off or get upset because of how others view themselves and how they need to lose weight and it ends up feeling like a back handed attack on myself. I didn’t want to live my life in constant fear and sadness and anger. Some people lose weight for medical reasons but for me I realized that my reasoning for me to lose weight is because I wanted others to accept me and I thought that if I was a certain size then I could accept myself also and finally feel attractive and I didn’t want to live my life that way. I wanted to be happy to just be me and not worry every single hour or minute about what I can eat. I just want to be me, live my life, draw my art and be comfortable in my own skin and enjoy the wonders of life.
Having this mind set really helped me to start to enjoy the small things in life and freed me from being so burden down and doing this story about weight and beauty and love is like a perfect ventilation for me if I ever get frustrated with something and I can cover that in the comic because it still centers around the main point of the story. I want people to learn that it’s okay to be happy with whatever size you are and that love isn’t only restricted to a person who weighs thus amount or how tall or short that person is. That’s also why I’m excited and EXTREMELY nervous about the end of chapter 2 O.O
