I guess this is a character study, of sorts. I think Hermann is a character who is often reduced into a trope: the stuffy, grumpy professor, in constant disdain of Newt’s free spirit. Things like him asking to be addressed as Doctor Gottlieb have led to him being reduced to a stuck-up killjoy. But there are reasons people have these preferences. And in the end I’d argue that Hermann wanting to be addressed by his full title is him attempting to accomplish the same goal as Newt’s tattoos. It’s not all about sounding or looking impressive. It’s about taking claim of an important part of you, and asking others to acknowledge it.
It’s really not a surprise why a lot of men don’t see representation as important: they are fucking drowning in it.
But hey yeah tell me that representation in children’s media isn’t important when it comes to this shit right here
Daryl Dixon. Train sketch. 1.5 hours. 2B pencil. For funsies/drawing practice. Will do a for serious drawing of him sometime.
I was in the middle of working on actual art, but then the surreality of cockles on my dash and Twitter feed tonight made sure that didn’t happen.
there is literally no occasion in which I dont fall utterly, completely in love with the character pretty much everyone hates.
Who hates Newt!?
