I’ve been working on these cute little cards for positivity, motivation and reminders. I have some made for your boys and want to make more. First of all I was wondering if I could sell these when I am able to and second maybe you had some suggestions for what they could say? I thought it would be cool to ask their creator

gatoanswers:

As long as the art is your own, you can absolutely sell them ^o^

This might be fun! ok let’s see:

Strade: 

  • Anyone can gain the upper hand. Size and strength are only tools, and there are many other tools.
  • If you’re scared of something, you might not be acting like yourself.
  • So many people bullshit their way through life. If you let yourself be honest, you might find you’re much stronger than they are…
  • Stop worrying about how to win a fair fight. It’s never a fair fight.
  • If it feels good, do it every day, and you’ll happy.

Ren:

  • Sometimes when life is scary, you’ll want to go back to where you understood it. But you can’t go back, whether you want to or not. Understanding will come.
  • Sometimes good things hurt. Sometimes bad things hurt. Sometimes everything hurts… then it’s time for a bath.
  • I don’t have to hurt the people who hurt me.
  • Mental wounds are just like the ones on your skin. Take time for them. Address them, care for them. Don’t pick at them!
  • There’s an anime for EVERYBODY.

Lawrence:

  • If silence is making you angry, you’re the problem.
  • Eat something when you feel like shit. Bread’s okay. Empty stomach makes it worse.
  • When everyone is scary, remember that they all have their own stuff going on so they’re probably not out to get you.
  • Everyone needs to touch the dirt sometimes. Let the earth touch you back. It’s okay.
  • You can bring solace and sanctuary to any space.

I’m sorry if you’ve been asked this before, but how would Strade react to his victims developing Stockholm’s Syndrome? Would he get bored of them?

gatoanswers:

Oh definitely not. He’d just start using them more. I mean you’d basically get a ‘Ren’ type situation where he’d let them all around the house and treat them sort of nice sometimes, buy things for them, etc.

Depending on their loyalty, he might start getting them to hurt new victims for him. He’s.. pretty into that.

They might even be able to get him to ease up on them in terms of their own torture if they’re willing to throw someone else under the bus. He likes a suck-up tbh.
