Introduction and Rules.

Hello, my name is BudBulla. I want to share my art on this Tumblr for fun, since I have built the courage within me until I’m ready to post my art so you all can enjoy what I drew, write the story, and sometimes some reblogs.

I would like to set the rules here that are fair for us, so we’ll be comfortable to explore in this blog!

The people who didn’t read rules before AMA will be blocked, please be understanding and thank you!

_____________________________________

1. I do NOT CONSENT to AI Models that steal work from amazing writers/artists/creators because it is not fair to writers who work so hard only to get a piece of their stories copied into AI models and insult the talented artists who honed their skills to improve themselves.

AI may sound harmless, but it is a huge disrespectful to hard workers who put a lot of effort into their works.

2. I have a zero tolerance towards thieves who steal credit/traced arts from talented people and reblog their art without crediting the original artists/writers, so please be respectful and supportive to all!

3. I will NOT ACCEPT the DM and AMA from the MINORS (Under 18) because I’m not comfortable of chat with children in the social media and gaming. Please and thank you for understanding to respect my rules and my choice.

4. Please be mindful of what you are writing in the comments and AMA in my blog. I’m happy to hear what you want to say about my work or what you think of my work; I love to hear feedback so I can improve myself for the better!

If you want to point out what I'm doing wrong, please do, because I want to make it the proper way so I can fix it for the better! However, please keep it PG-13 for all because it’s better to be safe than be sorry. (The inappropriate comments will be removed.)

5. If you want to draw what you like from my creations, feel free to do so, because I want to see your beautiful works, and I’m very excited about it! Use @ on my name when you want to show your art of what you like from my creations!

It is nice to meet you, and thank you for reading the rules I wrote. I might add/changing more in the future, just in case someday. Hope you all have a good day and enjoy!

Tale of Liora Balsam

A tales from the past, tragic yet strength to lives as a lonely flightless deaf bat.

___________________________________

Wakai (Liora Balsam) was born in the wilderness as a wild white beast bat with her biological parents and six siblings in the nest, living happiness together and listen their mother's lullabies daily until they were old enough to fly with their parents; only Wakai and her siblings were left behind all alone and defenseless as they were too young to understand what happened.

One night later, as they snuggle up together, hungry as they don't know how to hunt and sitting all alone to wait for their family, who never come back for them... They were found not by monsters but by a group of human cultists wearing a shirt bearing the cult's symbol: two bird wings and a tonch at the center. The little bats don't know what to do, and they're taken away from their abandoned nest.

Only Wakai survived the hell of the training in the cult to be forced to live as a human; forced surgery to remove her wings, forced prisoner monster to teach her how to change into human form, and forced fed to eat the humans who deny the cult for a meal daily until she got ill from it. When she recovered from her illness, she had a hearing loss, which made her permanently deaf, and all their work on her was wasted, so the human cultists decided to execute her.

However, before the day of her execution, she was taken out of the cult's tomb by the first adopted human Mulvahil family, and lived happily with them as a family. Wakai learned many things about the human lifestyle, sign language, writing & reading, and sociality. Many years later, her adopted parents passed away due to old age and were kicked out by their son (her younger adopted brother, now the old man with his own family) because he no longer wanted to take care of her.

Without the knowledge of the life of the monsters, she continue livings as a human; however, she never felt satiated, no matter what kinds of foods, as she grew weaker on the streets for years as a homeless person all alone until she passed out on the street until a man from the Colombo Mafia found her in the alley and take her in. The mafia was in business with the monsters, and teaching her about the monster lifestyle was challenged since Wakai believed it was wrong to eat humans until she discovered the dark secret of the Mulvahil family's meal.

It is when Wakai learned to accept herself as a monster, and after the death of her second adopted family, Don Colombo told her to find the circus called "The Circus of Horror," and she must go on a lonely journey to find the circus. She bid farewell to them and walked all alone as a homeless person, but with knowledge of humanity and cautious of her surroundings to protect herself until she found the circus in 1986.

At first, she was excited since she had been accepted into the circus as a janitor (In 5 years, her second job is acrobat aerial silks) and named herself Liora Balsam, but she began to regret everything after witnessing the madness and murderous vibes, which made her put her guard up and walking eggshells around them so she won't get killed. She has a feeling that if she tries to leave the circus, she'll get killed to protect the circus's secrets. Tamed by humanity, unaware of the monster's lifestyle, and survives.

Hello! It’s first time for me to drawing on the tablet, and the tablet’s screen won’t shows again but pen’s working. I hope ya all like it!

Food Runs with Liora and The person who knows ASL.

POV: You’re the circus member who learned sign language and she invite you for food run with her.

———————————————————

You sitting on the van’s front passenger seat and watching the scenic of the sunset while you looked at the woods in middle of nowhere.

You turn your head to take look at the driver seat; Liora’s focus on the windows as she driving, she’s casual about it since you talks with her; not in writing but sign language. She asked you to go to food runs with her.

It’s so quiet, and you listen to your favorite musics. After all, it just always empty before you come with her, you wonder what’s it like to living a life in silents where you cannot hearing anything, not even able to hears musics, voices, and not even small noise.

You haven’t notice the van stopped and Liora shift the stick to parking. She look at you as she signing. ‘We’re here, come on and let’s go.’

She gets out of the van as she open the back passenger door to grab her purse. You come out of the van and walk with her; it was local market with woods surround them. It doesn’t have a cameras and it seems safe to go in.

They enter the market; it’s not fancy like Wal-Mart but it have a foods, Liora pull the grocery list from Ticket Taker out of her purse. ‘Can you get shopping cart, please? We’ll be here for while.’

You nod as you went to grab the shopping cart to push it around the floor and follow her to each aisles. They didn’t talks much until you waving her to get her attention and Liora notice you wave at her and you signing.

‘I have a questions.’

Liora blinks as she put the grocery list on front of shopping cart you hold. ‘Sure, what’s questions?’

‘Liora, I was wonder why you didn’t stay longer at the dinner table with us after you finish your meal. Was it uncomfortable for you with us because… well, not used to us?’

Liora sign as she shake her head. ‘No, no. It’s not that. Do you have ever hear of the Dinner Table Syndrome?’

‘No, what is that?’ You got curious about that.

Liora signing to explains what it defines. ‘It means being exclusion from the non-signing people. Same with friends who say, “I tell you later” only to take it forever until they forget. I used to have hearing friends who just writing when I first join circus until they lose interesting in me and move on.’

It’s depend on how you feeling about what she say, and she continue.

‘But it’s fine, I get used to it. Sometime people don’t want to deal with communication barriers and walk away with say, “I’m sorry” or just nod. It’s happens to deaf people; no matter what you are. Come on, we shouldn’t stay here longer, let’s get shopping.’

They continue shopping until they reach cashier when the cashier beep items in, you pats Liora’s shoulder to get her attention as she look at you and you signing. ‘You must be very lonely, right?’

Liora pat your shoulder and signing while shake head. ‘Nah, long as there’s people who learning sign languages like you, I never feel lonely. And I’m happy to meet you. Thank you for coming with me.’

Before you say anything, the cashier speaking to Liora when she just look at you. “That would be $175.87, miss. Miss? Do you hear me? Hello, are you ignore me?”

You spoke to cashier. “She’s deaf, sir. You should know that behavior.”

Cashier scoff as he roll his eyes as he ignore Liora and talks to you. “Great, a disability. Whatever, that would be $175.87, please.”

You scowl at him and before you say anything, Liora place the money on the cashier’s table and shake her head to you.

You see the cashier’s box number sign that moved by Liora for her to read and Cashier was displeasure with the scoff. “Should’ve done that in first place. Have a good evening.”

Liora and you put the groceries in the shopping cart as they walk out of the market. You wonder why she stop you from talking any further to Cashier, you helped put groceries away in the van and close the back door.

You feel your shoulder patting, and you look at Liora. She signing. ‘Hey, don’t worry about that. It’ll be fine. Thank you for stand up for me, it’s very sweet of you.’

She’s grateful of you, as she continue. “Hop on, we’re go back. If we stay longer, Ticket Taker will be upset.”

Both of you get in the van, and you feel something in your pocket; you pull it out and look at it. It’s your favorite treats.

Walks through the Memories
