This is really interesting to see more of her internal perspective, i remember wanting to understand her a bit more with Doctor. Also you really improved with the comic panelling, this is really 'your' comic at this point. I'm just gonna point out a small nippick on page 4, the sizing of at tan while in should increase a bit and maybe overlap the previous after image. Keep up the good work
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!

At-tan vs At-tan

Thank you. The arc of At-tan of being thrown? Yes, it's not very 3D.
Everything here is soo good! I have a hard time understanding my own emotions and many things I read don't ignite that little spark in my head like this does.
The emotion and feeling really jumps out of this work and hits me in the face in the best of ways! Very inspiring, and feeds my soul.

Thank you. It truly means a lot to know the path I chose with my work is effective in this way.
Crying At-tan on the second page breaks my heart. And the saddest part is, this feels like way of protecting herself. Good issue.
you have a real talent animating your characters... they really truly feel alive. a highlight for me were the last 2 panels on page 2. fantastic storytelling as well! im not a professional comment reader so maybe im wrong but i havent seen any mentions of your storytelling ability. ive grown attached to at-tan and to doctor. i want to see her prosper and be genuinely happy, and i hope thats how the story ends, whenever—if :P—it ends. until then... god bless you and god bless at-tan and doctor :]

Thank you! I like to watch how people move/act irl, it's a tip I see cartoonists mention. I've gotten messages about my writing abilities before. It always takes me by surprise but also very pleasant to speak to people this way. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to art/writing/comic paneling. "Amateur" not meaning "bad", just that I have to teach myself.
The people who just go for it regardless of their current skill or professional status give me inspiration cause I like their stuff and would be sad if they never put their creations out there.
At-tan still a work-in-progress, but I'm getting there. God bless you, too. Thank you for the comment. :)
I feel bad about At-tan now. I mean, it was already bad before, but... It cant be worse, right? Your worst ennemy being yourself, nothing beats that.
KICK HER ASS, AT-TAN n°1!!!! RAAAAAH
SHE CAN'T LET HATE CONSUME HER!!!!
Of course it's right to hate what's wrong and perverse, like the At-taboys, but what's wrong too, is to ONLY feel hate, no matter if it's right or not! Hate shouldn't be an obsession no matter how right it is, and it goes the same for love...
She have to find balance, she have something to hate, but she should have something to love too... But Doctor doesn't really have feelings for her, right? Does she even love anyone else than Doctor?
Tell me if I'm wrong but, it's a guess:
Maybe she hate herself because she want to stop the hate consuming her. But why is hate so powerful? Is the hate the At-taboys and At-tan feels even the same? Is there different type of hate? Like love?
She hate herself, but want to protect herself too. Why protecting someone you hate?
Sorry for the babbling 😔
handofdog responds:
It's okay, it's not babble! I'm glad you are even invested enough to want to think/theorize.
I won't spoil or mention crucial info in comments, so I can't directly answer the sort of questions you have but I will say At-tan keeps her internal world closely guarded, it's hard to say what's what as of now. But one feels it's her responsibility to guard it.
