nuuuuUUU MY BABIES!!!
Gosh this just breaks my heart! 3 The fact that Hugs unintentionally lead herself to an early grave is just so sad, and its made even worse by the fact that Zeypher blames himself for her passing (altho it was an oopsie baby so I don't think he deserves the blame). This poor couple went so much- Tree from the sickness of being prego and Zeyph from sickness of worry, and I'm really sad to see it come to this. and of course POOR FLUTTERS she must feel horrible seeing her best friend sicken under her care and pass, and then needing to comfort her brother in his grief. Just. tears all around.
even tho this is sad, I must say, your art for this piece is particularly good. You did a fantastic job making it simple but impactful at the same time. Especially that last scene. So many feelssssss

People are gonna have a lot of different opinions on what I'm saying, but my opinion is that:
Treehugger's actions ultimately led to her own grave, yes, but! You're right that it was unintentional. It's even more tragic because this is all she knew, this is what her "parents" taught her and those kind of things you learn in your childhood you really have a hard time letting go off. Especially in emotionally stressful and painful times like this. She should have been less stubborn and gone to see a medical professional. Fluttershy or Zephyr should have dragged her there, to save her life at least, even if they respected her view. People can make these bold statements and argue about these kind of things back and forth, but in the end, people always do what they want or know. As for me, I don't really "blame" Treehugger for what she did because it was her emotional and mental need to go on her personal journey of self-discovery. I also don't blame Zephyr because he's prolly the most bewildered and lost in the situation. Fluttershy thought she could save Tree, but unfortunately in her state, it wasn't possible even for a doctor. No one is really to blame in these situations, it is what it is. But if anything, I hope I could bring across that sometimes.. these kind of things happen. and you move on. You don't blame yourself, and you don't blame others for what happened.

Not to be a jerk, but it's a little harder to be sad when Tree Hugger's own bad choices lead to her death. Was she brainwashed by strict parents or something like that?

No, she didnt have any parents; my HC on Treehigger is that she was adopted into a commune and raised by multiple "parents." Therefore she has a very loose understanding of the concepts of family and parenthood, and she knows next to nothing about medical-related things. Because of her ignorance, shes terrified of doctors and hospitals. Also, people tend to only know what they grow up with. All she knows is what was taught to her by her many parental figures, who sadly weren't very good influences when it came to anything related to pregnancy or seeing medical professionals

Okay, I can kind of understand. People can have a hard time letting go of the biases they grew up with.

Yepp.. unfortunately, not everyone is ready to be a parent when the situation arises and not everyone is built for it either
