Am I desensitized?
Brutal Violence
Greetings my mighty loyalist,
A question I have been regularly asking myself is, am I too desensitized? Perhaps talking about it will give us some answers.
As I have gone about showing and selling my comic, I understand it is a bit… much. I’ve been said to have “an interesting mind”. Though, personally. I really don’t see it as that crazy. I in fact think it should be and will get crazier.
Some may think this is on purpose, like it is an effort of trying to be shocking, but I just find it to be, realistic? You know, understanding demons, veils, and soul eaters to be real in this place, we’re still humans. We’re more fragile than we like to think. We’re also more resilient then we can conceive, at times.
But me personally, I haven’t really shocked my own self of this violence. I mean, I enjoy making it for this setting and to maybe fulfill the horrific aspect of the plot, but it’s not really disturbing me, and I’m not sure if it should.
I do want to bring more psychological aspects of horror into it. That would be more of a challenge to fulfill for the way I think. So maybe the foundations for that has started to be set with this dressing of violence. But honestly, the story has gone so much more into a Shonnen type of genre. So, perhaps that is just my strength rather than weakness. The violence HAS set the stage for more risk, and that is something I am trying to maneuver for the finale.
What do you think? Am I disturbed?
Thank you so much for reading.
