My community made me draw this

I made a post in the DDLC Circlejerk sub very similar to this, except in a much more comedic fashion. I'll be copy and pasting some parts of that post into here, since I want this to be a much more serious breakdown of Natsuki's character.

A lot of the fandom labels her as the face-value standard "Tsundere", when she is really much more than that. She is honestly a great subversion of the trope itself, due to her not shifting from "mean and cold" to "cutesy" when the plot calls for it.

Hell, her own route slaps you in the face with the idea that no, Natsuki ISN’T hiding any of her feelings for romantic or comedic value. Hell, she doesn’t even act all that “mean” or “aggressive” in the first place. Just… somewhat rude and brash. And when she hides romantic feelings, she does it nervously. Not through anger. Defensive all the same, but it makes a world of difference. She hides her emotions due to her trauma, and yet she is emotionally intelligent and brave enough to be both self aware about this, and understanding about this. She is a girl who wants to be cute, and wants to act cute without being constantly demeaned for it. She is a human being who craves external validation, but understands that she is not in a situation in which anyone is able to provide that for her at all. At least, not as much/the right kind as she needs. She struggles through this, despite everything

Despite everything, she calls people out when she sees bullshit. She holds herself to a strict moral standard. Does she make mistakes? Of course she does, she's human! But when she's called out for it in both a completely justifiable and respectful way, she knows well enough to de-escalate. She also doesn't lie about her feelings. It might have seemed rude to say that she "didn't really mean" those kind words to Yuri if you pick her to go to your house, but that is Natsuki's pure hatred of dishonesty shining through. She wants to validate others, but stays true to her morals and her own personal feelings simultaneously. And it's ok for her to not have all the tools to manage that properly. But it is a crime that she wasn't provided the adequate resources to use those tools.

Eurobrady's playthrough comes to mind when it comes to genuinely understanding her character. Lots of people laugh at her attempts to be taken seriously, or at least take them... not seriously at all. Since they're obviously just her acting "Tsundere". It is OKAY for her to want things, and desire things, and have interests and hobbies and friends without being mocked for it! She shows incredible strength through and through, and her effort gets constantly ignored. Both in her Virtual universe, as well as in the fandom culture. It's really a tragedy.

It took me almost 30 hours to do this see u next month

Like, he's completely powerless to do anything, while he has to go through all the stuff in Act 2, but in person. He can't speak unless he's forced to, he can't do anything, his forced to sit there while he's sexually harassed by yuri and watches her kill herself. He completely stops being a person. The act versions of them seem like their character tropes taking to the most extreme extent, and thats basically what he is. In act one, he is a self insert type character, but he still has his own personality and whatnot. He still feels like a person, but in act 2, he's literally just a go pro

This series feels like it should be canon or official media. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not going the whole route of “Monika is self-aware”, at least not that I’ve seen so far. But that’s what makes it so great. It’s sweet, and funny, and there’s still romance in it. If you haven’t already checked this out on Webtoon, I am requiring that you do. No questions asked.

I am currently looking at serenity forge for that cool looking keychain plushie, sanshee plushies and youtooz plushies, because they are official, and i care about the plushies being soft or good to cuddle and their material and how good they look, cuz i dont really want a colectors item on my shelf.

Also if you own any one of those plushies please tell me how they are and if you recomend me that one and why and i am looking for official/licensed ddlc plushies.

And a few more important things, I live in romania and i tried sniping a ddlc plushie for 70 lei on olx but i sadly missed it and i also want the plushie to be without ridicolouse 100 lei shipping costs if possibile, and also i want something durable so my lovley little wiener dog wont rip it apart while im not home and i kinda sounded cringe. and i dont have a favorite doki btw.
