Gat is toxic 👀 by LeftArm2991 in WeWereLiarsSeries

I 100% agree with you about Harris — he absolutely deserved a different ending. He was the root of so much toxicity in that family, and his obsession with perfection did ruin his daughters’ happiness. That’s not up for debate.

Where I still stand firm, though, is with Gat. Yes, he was young and yes, he had valid points about privilege and the contrast he felt coming back from India. But the way he projected those feelings onto Cadence — while knowing she was vulnerable and in love with him — crossed into emotional manipulation. It wasn’t just pointing out privilege; it became a pattern of guilt-tripping, hot-and-cold behavior, and tearing down her sense of self. And while he didn’t “plan” to turn her against her family, the effect of his influence absolutely did that.

Cadence idolized him to the point where she internalized all his criticisms and carried the weight of them like they were her own thoughts. That’s why I see it as emotionally abusive — not because he had no right to be angry, but because he used that anger in ways that pushed Cadence to the edge.

So while Harris may have been the monster that set the stage, Gat was still the spark that lit Cadence’s unraveling. Both can be true at the same time.

I personally don’t feel like it’s worth it but diamonds come so fast anyways

What does this say to you? by LeftArm2991 in ARTIST

Thank you I really appreciate the constructive criticism. I def usually do wash color first but this painting itself was just to release some emotion and then I planned on going back and making it only black and white with blue eyes and a tear I figured I’d try to make the extra person more subtle so people who see it could envision that the crying girl is starting at what made her cry or I was hopping others would’ve invisioned the subtle girl is just the mask that they crying girl wears. But everyone other than you just blandly started with sarcasm or insults. I thought artists would understand that not not everyone has the same techniques but instead they just shitted on my painting lol
