Last night I was listening ”Chalk Outlines” by Ren x CHINCHILLA and all I could think was something like this~

“But little by little, bit by bit

I push it back down with a new habit

If not for long, just for a while

I'll bury myself with a great, big smile

(Oh my my, oh my my)

We trace ourselves in these chalk outlines

(Oh my my, oh my my)

Erase ourselves in these chalk outlines.”

Also, shoutout to @mak3morn & their fucking amazing fic STATIC. I was thinking about that absolute gem of a story a lot while drawing this! Heavily inspired~

Kudos to you! 🫡

Have you ever had a time where you're so familiar with pain, like an old friend, that you just welcome it in and enjoy it? Have you ever felt that way? Crazy isn't it how pain can be both bad and good. Have you heard the voices of those telling you to go kill yourself repeating in an endless cacophony? I didn't think so. Low key, when I feel like that, it feels like Arsonist's Lullaby, Cradles, Chalk Outlines, and Hi Ren.

Fr, the only thing keeping me grounded now is her. She's the only one that keeps me sane. It fades when I'm with her. It's getting better because of her. Eventually maybe it'll go away. Hopefully.

Honestly, the lyrics are so deep and really hit me hard that I wanted to get some of the lyrics tattooed on my birthday. Unfortunately, due to a fall, which impacted the finances, I was unable to get the tattoo done. It was going to be this year's birthday gift to myself, and since hearing the song, the more I heard it, the more the tattoo. I guess timing is everything, right? This is the part of the song I was really anticipating on getting;

It's such a perfect day

Take it just in case, take it just in case

I'm scared of being okay

'Cause all things change, all things change

It's such a perfect day

It's a beautiful shame

It's a beautiful shame

I'm scared of being okay

'Cause all things change

These lyrics hit me like a brick wall because of being on a seeming constant edge growing up which had my mental health on a burner of sorts.
