Little Man Under 4 Strawberries Tall Brings Forth A Plentiful Harvest

Otome dissection is a portrait of an empty person entering a relationship not because it makes them happy or it makes them better, but to have someone be the dump of their problems with no intention of actually solving it. The person is empty, and she is desperate to feel something, hence the first lines,

Let's play maiden dissection!

Don't we all want some excitement to get our hearts pumping?

She (the pov person) calls their partner, trying to connect to them without actually wanting to say something.

Good evening, is now a good time?

I didn't really have anything specific to say, but

Now there's this and that and an "it's alright" comes to mind

Without you, none of that matters

But the last line is offputting. If one is in the company of a person they cherish, the conventional phrase is "with you, none of that matters." Almost as if the purpose of connecting with their partner is merely to dump problems to them.

She is asking to be "dissected" because she would never open her issues herself. The first prechorus establishes it clearly.

This disease, the whole package

I'll send it to you as an attachment

I don't wanna go so far as to share all the things that cause me pain

I just wanna run away from this love

The lyric 「いきたくない」 in the chorus is already unclear in itself, being written in hiragana. It is left to us if she's saying she does not want to live (生きたくない), does not want to die (逝きたくない) or does not want to climax (イきたくない). On its own, いきたくない could also mean "I don't want to go." I think it was purposely ambiguous because she wants us to dissect what she wants to say.

The music video shows us the girl dancing with a skeleton. Some interpret it as her dancing with death, but I think it represents the partner who she dumps her problems to.

Only the skeleton remains of the partner because they've given everything to the "singer." Not only does the partner's bones remain, the bones are even fragmented.

They've opened themselves up while she remains fully human because she would not risk being vulnerable. She keeps the skin, the mask, not even a layer coming off.

At some point, the partner eventually distances themself from her and she takes it badly. The music video shows a progression from her making a phone call,

To holding a stringed cup (where it is unsure if the partner even receives the message),

To a mere hand acting as a telephone.

She is desperate on maintaining the relationship even if it does no good.

Returning to the skeleton representing the partner's state, a blink-and-you-miss-it moment happens near the end that shows the skeleton as a whole figure and witnesses all her self-destructive behavior.

However, being with her broke the skeleton (the partner) apart.

Now without a person that could make her feel - pain, shame, or anything, she succumbs to emptiness and decides to end herself. Lyrically, nothing changes and she goes back to the shell of void that she is. Visually, the music video ends with her in a body bag with a peaceful expression.

Every now and then I think about and come back to this comic, I love it so much eheh

met a big snake in a dream, had a strange conversation

So I’m almost finished with my second playthrough of a game called Fire Emblem Awakening and I decided I wanted to draw two of my favorites (Click if quality is shitty)

TODAY

Henry but Risen because I decided it would look cool [Click if Image Quality Sucks]

My favorite quotes from the stream (as I was able to jot them down as they were being said)

Don’t cry because it’s over. Cry because it happened.

What is a graveyard if not humanity’s hall of fame?

It’s like I’m fondling the balls of life.

Choose to spend time on what fulfills you, on what makes you happy… Every second is a chance to turn your life around.

When I die, I want to be an empty shell, having given every part of myself to creating.

The worst part of this was when the boiling hot piss shot out onto my foot.

No, that was pain; this is suffering. (technically from the pee sauna vid but they watched it during the stream it counts)

At the end of the day, you know: pizza’s pizza, piss is piss.

We have experienced something that no human ever has, and that’s incredible.

We’re not just two grown men who drank each other’s piss. We’re two grown men who bathed in each other’s piss.

How you respond to events that are out of your control defines you as a person.

Unus annus dot com: hey hey, wow wow.

I feel like a lot of people will feel lost tomorrow. And that’s okay.

It had to be a piece of us that we put out there… and then let go.

A year is many things to many people. But it is not forever.

“Memento Mori” has two meanings: remember death or remember that you will die, but also remember to live.

Edit: I have been told in the notes that I missed some absolute gems, so here’s a more complete list!

I’d cry myself to sleep if I wasn’t gonna be dead in five and a half hours.

Every second is just another chance to get dick.

Mark: I’ve never been hit by a car before, how do I know I won’t enjoy it? Amy: We could take this out to the parking lot if you want to test it.

I want to be Mr. Hybrid Wellness, now.

We’ve been edging Father Time for a whole year.

Shot out the load that contained Tony Stark. What a profound man.

I wanna make it through this year and it kills me.

Bald Ethan was a special type of chaotic.

Listen. I have nothing to say to you.

We can’t see the stars, but we know they are there.

It’s like you’re lying in your death bed surrounded by your family.

Every fart is a chance to take with love.

We made a cry box.

Ethan: Does that stem from something? Mark: Survival instinct.

Tired, sad, and a little tipsy.

Evan, your fursona has to be a bear. I’m sorry, but rules are rules.

You ever heard of Halloween?

The Unus Annus way: not quite what we wanted.

Just because we’re gone doesn’t mean you have to forget about it.

A second is nothing. But a second can change someone’s life.

It’s time.
