Dark, but within limits.

I've been watching RWBY Ice Queendom, and only have one episode left. Mild spoilers here I guess. 

I've realized how much I enjoyed the Beacon arc, and how I wish it could've lasted longer. 

IQ does get dark or at least intense. It's not a Bluey episode, and it shouldn't be, as much as I love Bluey. I've always related to Weiss the most out of the main 4, especially her song Mirror, Mirror. So the scene with Pyrrha singing it inside of Weiss' dream still haunts me. It was very well executed. 

Even so, it then lightens up and gets funny again. Those moments of catharsis are really needed. We're back in Beacon ready to learn more about becoming huntsmen and huntresses, I think (we'll see for sure in the last episode once I watch it).

And the music is good, much like the music in actual RWBY. 

But as I start to separate my nightly coding block into two different ones, Code and Games/Webcomics, I'm starting to think about my own webcomic that I'm formulating. Sure, we can follow a bad guy who may or may not become good later. Sure, it can get pretty dark and touch on the mental health themes I wish to address. 

But we don't have to be like that all the time. In fact, it's almost imperative that we aren't. School -- university level -- will be a major part of my comic. I keep doing this, probably because I'm a big ol' NERD. I disliked school (but loved learning) up until college where it suddenly became my THING. Because everyone knows how much school below the college level sucks. 

So I'll keep school, at the university level, as a focus. As an anchor point. You don't HAVE to give people a world they'd love to visit - hello, Dungeon Crawler Carl - but I think it's helpful. And I want to.
