The Problem:

Aoki reminds me of Denji. Not only because of his look, though. Their personalities are also similar [ at least, in my opinion 😅 ].

For example, they both are strange, act awkwardly sometimes, have a crush on a girl [ woman ] they barely know, they are a little stupid when in comes to grades and school, but despite all of this they still have a good heart which knows how to care about others. ❤️

lt's so easy to forget that behind every bad person

stand a child who wasn't understood

on time....

How would Jaekyung and Kim Dan be like if Jaekyung wasn't so emotionally detached and blind about Dan's suffering:

P.S: The second image is just an old illustration, which Qmeng had posted on her Instagram. It's not related to Alnst, although there is a similarity between these two nameless characters and Ivan and Till.

I am officially shipping these two. Please, become a couple in the end 🙏 😖🤞

Genuinely think the only way to approach art is to like the things you like instead of tearing down what other people like.

"You should read classics because those are real literature unlike that TikTok garbage." Bad. Turns people away from reading the classics because it makes them sound stuffy and boring and makes you sound like a snob.

"You should read classics because this book is amazing! I love the characters and the story, and it's so cool to read a story that uses different techniques than modern fiction does." Good. Makes people want to read the classic. Suggests there's something good in this story instead of just suggesting that other stuff is worse.

"You don't like the modern art? That's because you're an unwashed plebeian who only likes what's pretty." Bad. Puts down the person and makes them even less likely to be interested in this type of art.

"Wow, I love this painting! Look at the technique! I love the message behind it!" Good. Helps the person to appreciate what might not be obvious at first glance, instead of shaming them for not automatically knowing this.

"You should watch this show because it's so much better than that other garbage show." Antagonizes people who like the garbage show and makes them less likely to feel positively toward the show you like.

"You should watch this show because it has great writing/characters/plot etc." Good! Tells people what makes this show appealing and makes them want to try it.

"I listen to this music because it's real art and not that manufactured pop garbage." Bad. Makes your genre seem like an exclusive club of snobs that I don't want to join.

"I listen to this music because I like the sound. Here, listen to this song." Good! Shows me something good within the genre and may encourage me to explore further.

There's a place for criticism. You don't have to like or approve of everything. But it's not a great technique for getting people to like art. Hating on the things that are bad just drives people away. If you want to draw people toward something, you have to help them to appreciate what's good.

This was the first romantic anime I ever liked. Aaaah, it brings back so many good memories ☺️💖❣️
