Avalina And The Grave Misunderstanding

Icon by ginkoseed. This an inspo/ideas blog for my original novel, Avalina and the Grave Misunderstanding. I post both original writing and art for the story, and things that inspire me, either content-wise or just aesthetically.

I couldn't find an official translation so forgive me but it says

"Sometimes we have to look at things that aren't cute and make us uncomfortable."

"Because I don't really understand it."

"Because it has nothing to do with me."

"Because it just feels unpleasant."

"If we keep turning a blind eye like that until we can't see anything anymore, then eventually even the cute things will disappear."

Wnile cute, its good to remember guardian angels align with predatory creatures lest you underestimate a flock. They boast sharper canines than their upper hierarchy relatives and a higher appreciation for viscera

Ei ihan/Not quite

You know when you are surrounded by creatures very much like you but still... Still not quite fitting, nor quite feeling like everyone else?
