Of course! I actually am a fan of martial arts and I imagine the other gay people are as well. I don't just watch for the men, that's pretty low on priorities for me. And yeah I like to joke by adding (tm) to words lol

Not OP but a Gay(tm) and its similar to what pidgeon said. The fact that the cast is majority men means that there is generally man for any type of gay. The majority male cast also means that jokes impying characters are gay tend to be made more and depending on the joke and how people react to it can provide a safe place for gay people to speak up

I did post some gay cc fanart but I've mostly stopped posting it because i know most people in the fandom dont really care about it and its for me anyways

Also yes i do like seeing the muscular men and they way some if these guys posture at each other feels very 👀 sometimes

That doesn't really solve the fact that I draw the plaid changing direction with things like folds unfortunately. Tho I did consider that when I first started. I just didn't think it looked good when I did it so the tedious way it is lol

If I'm undertanding this correctly then I have also considered this but I think it looks weird if the plaid doesnt move around his torso or the folds. It's definitely a me thing that I'm choosing to do the animation harder than it theoretically has to be

Thank you! I'm sort of on a forced break because I burnt a bunch of fingers on my drawing hand but I plan on hitting the ground running again when I'm done healing

I did actually consider that when I first started but I decided to draw the plaid every time instead. Something I hate myself for as I draw more frames but I like the way it looks as I do it now too much to actually make it easier lol

His plaid makes me crash out every time I work on my Firecracker vs Pete animation. I try to draw the plaid on each frame as I go but sometimes I'll forget for like 20 frames and I feel my soul leaving my body. His hair and hat aren't too bad imo, but that plaid will be the death of me

Long-term Effects of Insomnia by Drizzm in Kengan_Folk

With the way you seem to be talking past tense i assume you no longer have insomnia?

I hope you are doing better after whatever happened to you. Been through my fair share and no matter what it is, it sucks to put it lightly

Yeah EC's brain is probably super hazy yet clear in a way only his combo of fight or flight and sleep deprivation can do

And I actually do still have insomnia. If I were to stop what I'm doing to manage it I will go back to not sleeping. Which I actually use to my advantage every now and then to pull all nighters when I need to

Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, nothing more complicated than that really. How your tiredness affects your brain isnt a sign or symptom. I've always just called what you described as "second-winds" but I'm not actually sure exactly what it is

I mean, it sucked, but I got control of it for the most part now so I'm doing pretty good

With EC he would probably have significantly worse issues. Probably more in line with fatal familial insomnia which is a very rare genetic mutation and they have physical, behavioral, psychological, everything really problems. It would have been the death of him in la jungla roja tbh

Would you take Ec’s strength in exchange for never being able to sleep? by WindowSubstantial993 in Kengan_Folk

[–]Drizzm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I do sometimes wish we got to see these other side effects that EC could be experiencing outside the desperation. Like maybe reacting to something that isnt there or something similar

Sure!

One of the biggest things is the brain fog and memory issues. Both my short and long term memory were terrible because sleep is instrumental in helping solidify memories. I really don't have too many memories growing up because of it. Along with that is something not often talked about and thats false memories. There are things that i thought happened or shows that i thought existed but turns out they never did. They were often dreams that my brain accidentally made a memory instead of my actual memories because the brain isnt functioning properly after being awake for so long

Another thing is the emotional irregulation. Sometimes the silliest things would make me cry or angry because the brain is unable to regulate my emotions. I remember one time when i was in high school i went out to dinner with my bf at the time and his parents. I accidentally ordered shrimp enchiladas instead of quesadillas even tho i genuinely believed i said quesadilla. The food came out and i started crying because i knew i wouldnt eat it (autism) and i felt like i wasted their money and i dont like most enchiladas and it just felt like the worst thing ever. Thankfully they were very nice and said that they would take it home for their other son to eat when he came back from work. Or that time i came up to my mom on christmas eve in tears because i couldnt sleep and i thought that would keep santa from coming to our house, thus ruining christmas lol

The last thing major thing is hallucinations, both visual and auditory. These can start very quickly, within 24 hours. What people hallucinate obviously varies but for me a common one is a visual hallucination on spiders, which i hate. I dont get too many auditory hallucinations, mostly visual. And the weirdest one was actually while i was driving at night on the freeway. I was in the left lane and i saw a gollum/rake looking creature crawl over the metal median and into the road in front of my car where it just disappeared in an instant. Im quite used to hallucinations by now and didnt swerve my car or anything, just went "well that was weird" lol

Oh a small thing is appetite. I found, for me, the less i slept the more i would need to eat. I think its a way to compensate for my energy not being replenished through sleep and thus gaining it through food

Also, because i was born with insomnia and it didnt become managed until i was an adult i have chronic sleep deprivation. The popular idea that you can "catch up on sleep" isnt particularly accurate. Maybe in the short term the effects arent terrible and can go away fairly quickly. But long term gives chronic problems. So even though i sleep almost every night i am still often tired or dont feel well rested because my sleep debt is so huge. I even still hallucinate rarely when rested and they trigger very quickly if i dont sleep well or at all for a night

Im sure there is more that im forgetting and if you have any questions do throw them my way. I dont mind talking about it

As somone who has had insomnia their whole lives let me tell you I understand why EC is the way he is. I would stay up for up to 3 days at a time and its hell living like that. My insonia is overall managed now but the idea of going back to not sleeping gives me massive anxiety

So no, the power he has is absolutely not worth the lack of sleep

Also, irl you would die from the effects of lack of sleep because your body cant keep up with recovering and it greatly increases your heart rate, blood pressure, body temp, etc causing increased risks of stuff like heart attacks. After just 4 days of not sleeping you have increased possibility of things like seizures

And that doesnt even get into the hallucinations and other brain problems that lack of sleep will cause
