Antidepressants kicking in at last — took a break from my work drawings and ended up starting 4 new I honestly don't remember the year I last felt inspiration and interest in art

The stars were laughing and clinking above her head, the crescent grinning among them. The snowdrifts slammed underfoot, and an icy, gusty wind lashed at her face, hindering each step. This whole winter world, warped by witchcraft, resisted Kasya's will — but aided the deadman chasing her. Kasya stopped on the path cutting through the field and looked back. Bogdan stood three steps away, motionless, staring. <...> "I need you, Kasya..." "I'm cold, Kasya, bitter alone in a strange land..." "Come with me, my dear... Come..."

It was quiet here, quiet and peaceful. As if the world became empty of everything but this hill, the snow and the sun in the silver sky. Illustration for Maria Pokusaeva's "Месяц светит, мёртвый едет" (Moon is shining, deadman's coming) Twitter | VK | INPRNT | Leave a tip

Mavka (мавка) aka Navka (навка), derived from "nav' " — the unholy/living dead — malevolent creatures in Ukrainian demonology, inhabiting rivers, ponds and the fields. Mavki come from girls who died before marriage of faced the "wrong" untimely death. The traditional beliefs about mavki is also not that different from that of rusalki — they look like children and girls with long unbraided hair, naked or in plain shirts. However, they lack a skin on their back, witch makes all of the insides visible, and cast no reflection on the water. On occasion mavki would try to lure a stranger into the water but would spare more witty or careful people. An unusual later concept is an opportunity within a specified time to "cleanse" the soul of a mavka with the help of prayers and therefore deprive it of its status of a demon. After that period is over, mavka would live as a demonic creature till the end of times.

The thing about being an ugly asexual is that you never know for sure whether you're truly uninterested or if you've just blocked out the entire concept of romance/love/family because you know that it isn't in the cards for you ever anyway. Especially as you get older.
