This fucking gutted me.
“Sleeping” by Andrea Gibson, The Madness Vase
“I am exactly like him. / We both have wrinkles around our eyes / a hundred years older than our age. / We both carry ourselves like an ambulance/ with someone dead inside, / always thinking we’re gonna get there in time.”

"this is why we can't have nice things" is a foolish and backwards principle anyway. If something can be easily ruined by a child then it isn't nice at all, it is pitiful and embarrassing. Praise your child for culling the weak.

Which I know there's pieces that are supposed to be transparent like netting...so unless I do every piece as meshes and not a combined bow and stern, but like bow_barrels, bow_sail, etc., and separate the pieces that are supposed to be transparent from their mesh (which will be difficult), then...they'll just not be transparent, but the perfectionist in me isn't happy that they are not how they're supposed to be.
Another issue is four textures per piece (five counting board stains that are acting as shadows). To make the two meshes shown here, I combined two per mesh group, thinking that would fix the transparent parts with PNGs, but nope, I forgot objects work differently than clothes.
So making the alpha mode "blend" instead of "none" does make the netting transparent (how it's supposed to be), but it makes everything else transparent too, which isn't the goal. Maybe perfectionist in me will win out. I suppose it might be useful to others besides my one scene picture taking XD
Edit: Well...I got one mesh to cooperate, but the other is being stubborn despite being identical TXMTs.

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins
i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement
