Sorry, but I cannot accept your defense of the blonde bimbo.

This is a professional business. If an artist irl couldn't meet a deadline, that artist would be replaced asap and never again get a job in the industry.

To accept blonde bimbo's behavior, I have to accept that she doesn't care about losing the job, losing her entire career. And that is something I can't.

Got a "writers block - artist version"? Then still push yourself, do "not your best", but deliver the minimum. Not every project will be your best, that's not realistic. I'm a big Zelda-fan, but the quality of these games has always been fluctating. Sometimes the best people cannot call upon their best efforts, but you're part of a business and got responsibilities.

The only way to rationalize blonde bimbo is that she's a childish, entitled brat. And that's the word kind of character.
