    REFLECTIONS

    I learned how to write a dissertation through DRD. I gained a deeper understanding of how subcultures such as punk and emo can be expressed through character design in video games, not only visually but also emotionally and narratively. By analysing characters like Ryuji, Beat, and Noctis, I realised that rebellion and resistance do not always take the same form. Punk-influenced characters tend to express rebellion outwardly through loud actions, confrontation, and reclaiming space, while emo-influenced characters show resistance internally through emotional vulnerability, silence, and personal struggle. Moreover, I got to format my own E-publication book which was exhausting. In my case, I decided to make every page unique, make it flows smoothly between paragraphs.
