Perfection of an Artist

Description

Chapter 1: Anorexic phenomenon is a taboo in my place. Nobody seems to acknowledge it, but the exact same thing called "depression" is also happened here. But people have their own choices to overcome their panique when having depression. Sehun showed how he felt so complete after puking his stresses out and painted his full-of-misery masterpiece. The idea of making depression sounds "delicious" for the character that's involved in it--is what I've been looking for. It's precisely presented here, wrapped beautifully in words which I can enjoy anytime.
Thank you for inspiring me--or us?--through out this enchanting piece of fan-literature. I really wait to see more like this in advance.
If you don't mind, I'll feel so honored to translate it. Please contact me soon if you have any thoughts about my wish above. Once again, thank you.

Chapter 1: Omg,I am literally amazed by what you wrote.I think the fact that you covered bulimia as 'painting' is so freaking beautiful.I guess Sehun was getting into a slight depression,you know,wanting to be 'perfect' and fell into becoming bulimic.I guess without even noticing it,he was comforting himself,calling bulimia 'painting' in order to make it feel as though what he was doing was a 'norm-wether his definition of normalcy is normal towards other people or not.This really is the type of angst that I crave for in AFF,not the angst written purely upon heartbreak and forbidden love-this is so much more.This delves into the human brain-like your one shot (to me) was based off psychology and how each human being strives for perfection-whether the person knows it or not.We all want to be perfect,striving for the best even though we already past it,failing to see that we are being delusional for trying to be something that is only a matter of opinion.Normalcy,in a way,is also a matter if opinion,as being 'normal' doesn't really have a TRUE definition.One may think that I'm normal,but the other might think that I'm weird,sort of like a label-a boundary even.I think this was really eye opening and made me (literally) sit down and think of normalcy,perfection,the society and actual life (however I thought of it in my perspective).
Thank you so so so much for writing this!!

Chapter 1: oh I really like that kind of stories. Sad but real-life. And "painting" as you named bulimia was beautiful metaphor.

Chapter 1: This story is simply beautiful. When I saw the 'angst' tag, I expected something sappy, the usual sad story, but you gave me this beautifully written dark side of what we've seen as perfection. Anyway, I love this story (so much)

Chapter 1: Oh god. Hi. This story is a masterpiece! (So much puns I wanted to include but decided otherwise for the sake of the length of this comment.). This whole comparing vomit as artwork thing is interesting and twisted. It's briliant, and it had me seeing vomit in a different light.

I love the color motive going on in this story. I love how it brings more colors to this story, and I love how twistedly Sehun thought that he's just an artist creating works no one wanted to see. It made me symphatize Sehun.

I also love how relatable Sehun is. He's someone who wanted normalcy and yearned for perfection; I can't say the same for every being in this world, but I do, too, although in a different way (I don't puke tic-tac pills to stay skinny). And I also love how even though Luhan motivated him, Sehun changing in the end was because of he, himself. And I love the irony between Luhan's beliefs and his former job. His job required him to hide people's imperfections, after all. And I also love Luhan's and Sehun's simple yet blissfully happy last scene.

And, in contrast with my bland and repetitious 'I love's, your story is written impeccably well. I love how you pick your words. I love how colorful it seems, despite it being only black words on a white background. This story made me view things in a different way, and trust me, this rarely happens. Luhan's character didn't only 'heal' Sehun's, but mine too, in a way, although it's just a little, and I thank you for that. This story is inspiring and beautiful. It definitely deserves love. And I really hate my disability to end comments properly, so I'll just leave things like this.
