A couple of weeks ago I saw a cool ass caterpillar on a tree branch. It had multiple pairs of eye-like dots running along its back. Amazingly, the dots upon which shadows fell were dark-purple, while those in the light assumed a vibrant red color. I’ve been thinking about this relationship between purple and red ever since. One helps the caterpillar blend in with the bark perfectly, while the other pops up so uncompromisingly. I’m still dumbfounded by how two colors so far apart on the spectrum work together so well.

This is a doodle I committed to (cw: mildly suggestive). While I was drawing, I didn’t intend to reference the experience I mentioned. And yet here are the colors. I’m delighted they found their way on the page after all

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

I wish more people cared about my fic.

First off, a disclaimer. This is not about the praise. I am deeply satisfied with and positively impacted by the quality of support I received and keep receiving. I feel no need for this to be scaled up.

I wrote the story for myself in the first place but there’s this yearning to experience it through the eyes of others. The story is a magic circle I created to invite others to play. It takes certain skill to make a believable magic circle. And it takes players’ generosity to choose to suspend disbelief. And the rest is straight up miracles.

I wonder if in my excitement to write I ended up not leaving enough space for the reader. Or if my inexperience introduces too much friction to the story.

I’m not worried about being able to become a better storyteller, it’ll come with time and experience and conversations. And, ultimately, what I’m writing about here at large isn’t really a problem of any sort. It’s more of a wish to talk about what feels important. A wish to be heard and a wish to get a glimpse of other people’s creativity at the same time.
