((Under the cut is the little drabble- or what could be a drabble. It's simply a eulogy for Linggan in a moment where she has passed away for unspecified reasons. This is also given by a character I've yet to give much about, so I can always clarify more in the future [and probably will because it sounds fun].))
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Lin was selfish. To a stranger she would appear inconsiderate. Most of the time she never stopped to help someone else. Not to say she was selfish, but Lin wasn’t good at showing she cared; she would act as if her good deeds were simple matters of coincidence. After getting to know her I know this is a lie. She would help anyone however she could, even if the extent of her help was simply listening.
I remember the time I told her about a fond memory from my past. I told her about how he looked at me and how his gaze made me feel. Even today I feel my heart race just thinking about his eyes and the way they lit up when I looked into them. More than anything, I remember how she reacted to my telling of these sensations. She looked back at me, confused as to why I was going crazy over someone like him. Though she didn’t know why, I could tell she understood. I suppose that’s why she tried her best to make me feel more comfortable and encourage me to see him again. It’s because of her that I found the strength to set out to find the love of my life. Her inspiration drove me happily into his arms.
Others never had good things to say about Lin, and it always hurt me to hear such words. I know she wasn’t the kindest person among the world, but in private she would do everything in her power to console someone. I don’t know what it was about her, but Lin always succeeded in raising my confidence. She was so kind to me that I can’t imagine anyone having good reason to call her anything but caring. She felt pain in ways few could understand and she wouldn’t wish it on anyone else. I never knew how the others truly felt about her, but Lu tells me he believed there was always goodness in her heart.
I never question why she is gone today. Asking such a thing is selfish. Many would call her a close friend and a sister. I only wish she had as much help as she gave to others. Despite what most would say, Lin will remain in my thoughts for simply being someone that pushed others to be everything they could and more. Without her, I know I’d never be where I am today. If you take nothing away from this, I want her final words to me directly to guide those unsure of where to go: “Never stop moving forward, not for one moment. There’s always a place to go in even the most uncertain moments.”
((Hey!! sorry that I haven't been very active, like I said before ive been trying to work out doing asks and releasing them more frequently. I'm looking to work out a stream that maybe I can stream the asks for those interested! if you are let me know, since I'd be streaming for you guys for the most part.))
Over the past few weeks I've been doing asks and redesigning her to fit how I like, and this is pretty much the final result. There may be one or two asks that don't exactly follow how this looks but that's cause I did them before.
Thanks for being patient everyone! I'm still working on asks, I promise, I just want to have them all ready so I can post more frequently. Have a great night!)
