Kicking off the 2nd half of 2019 with a quick sketch of my favorite thing in the world: A pair of Azzae getting affectionate. :3 And a glimpse of the scarring that would normally be covered by the magic bracer.<br /><br />It's funny... My self-esteem often ends up in the toilet because I hold myself to high standards of beauty, morals and ethics, and performance. But I don't enforce those standards upon other people. So, ironically, when I'm forced to look at myself from a <i>third</i>-person perspective, although I'm aware of my opinion's inherent subjectivity, I can't help but see a conscientious cutie of a woman who's trying her best.<br /><br />Dedicated to <span class="username-with-symbol u"><a class="u premium username" href="https://www.deviantart.com/lonestranger" target="_self">LoneStranger</a><span class="user-symbol premium" data-quicktip-text="Core Member" data-show-tooltip="1" data-gruser-type="premium"></span></span>, who got me mentally hooked on this strange but effective form of therapy.<br /><br />FAQ:<br /><br /><b>So when you're like this, are you one person, or two?</b><br />One, but the illusion of being two can feel pretty powerful sometimes, even from my own perspective.<br /><br /><b>Can you control your other head?</b><br />I'm always controlling both heads. I'm just not always <i>micromanaging</i> both heads.<br /><br /><b>Which head controls which arms/legs?</b><br />My answer to the previous question renders this one irrelevant.<br /><br /><b>Okay, but this is still narcissism, though.</b><br />If you're going to use that word literally, sure. But "narcissism" in popular culture often has connotations of being a pompous jerk who consistently puts their own self-importance and self-interest above everyone else's needs. I'd like to think I'm not like that, although I do make mistakes. And I say as long as you maintain a healthy perspective on your place in the universe, there's no shame in doing something nice for yourself once in a while.<br /><br /><b>Is this gay?</b><br />Extremely.<br /><br /><b>What do you use to transform?</b><br />You know Sarah's Thaumatic Replicator? The ray gun she's holding in <a href="http://fav.me/dd5ljpd">this pic</a>? Most often I just use that. Other times I use hand-drawn spell circles. Other times I just get <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/cukeman">Princess Madelyn</a> to do it.<br /><br /><b>You seem so much happier when you're two-headed. Why don't you just stay that way?</b><br />It would make the experience feel less special, rendering it ineffective as a form of therapy. Plus, there'd be all kinds of logistical problems, I'd have to redo my whole wardrobe, and I'd have a lot more hair and sensitive skin to take care of... Also I don't wanna steal RoMi and Kassie's thunder.<br /><br /><b>This is weird. You're weird.</b><br />Your opinion has been noted. Have a nice day.<br /><br />~Az
