Six horses died in a tractor-trailer fire. There. That’s the hard part. I wanted to tell you straight away so we could grieve together. So many sad things, that’s just one on a long recent list that loops and elongates in the chest, in the diaphragm, in the alveoli. What is it they say, heartsick or downhearted? I picture a heart lying down on the floor of the torso, pulling up the blankets over its head, thinking this pain will go on forever (even though it won’t). The heart is watching Lifetime movies and wishing, and missing all the good parts of her that she has forgotten. The heart is so tired of beating herself up, she wants to stop it still, but also she wants the blood to return, wants to bring in the thrill and wind of the ride, the fast pull of life driving underneath her. What the heart wants? The heart wants her horses back.

I remember seeing frequently "i will never be the same after learning about satosugu" and I was thinking to myself how could something really be that big of a deal to affect someone in such a big way?

...

i shamefully can say now that my life was heartbreakingly impacted by satosugu and there is no way out.

As long as you label, insult, denegrate, discriminate, outright hate

As long as you hurt, destroy, threaten, abuse, and even murder

As long as you see another skin color, a different faith, a different belief, or even different politics and immediately think “enemy”

As long as you spread a narrative that those who are of a different stamp than you are wicked, evil, communists, or nazis, or losers, or deluded, or stupid, or hateful, or whatever rage-filled invective comes to mind...

We will never have peace

We will never heal

We will never find common ground

We will never be whole again

We are in turmoil. Every day tv and social media is packed with horrible things upon horrible things. Here in America we are tearing ourselves to shreds between the pandemic, police brutality, violent riots, and political differences.

We tear one another apart simply due to damn voting choices and justify it by claiming the other side is the most vile thing we can think of - repeating what other people say because at the core of it, no matter how we’re voting, we’re fucking terrified to death of what the other side might have planned.

I’m frankly crushed.

I’ve turned off every political post that I can when there are tags that allow me to do so. I’m not chastising anyone who wishes to share as everyone has the right to voice an opinion. I just won’t be sharing mine. Because how much of what I know is based on fact and how much on bias?

And how many friends will I hurt if I share something demolishing the other side - reducing them to some clever joke at best or worse than shit on my heel? I want to keep in mind that my friends may think differently than me when I say anything. And I know my friends and they’re all amazing and wonderful people who are NOTHING like the corrupt/ignorant/clueless riff-raff that the news would portray any more than I am.

At what point did we lose sight of that and turn everyone ELSE into targets?

Or has it always been that way but now it’s just easier?

Anyway sorry for the downer post.

I don’t care what you believe- how you vote - what you look like -

I care about what I know OF you.

And everyone I’ve met and/or followed is amazing and important to me. I wish nothing but great blessings for you.

May all your ships come true!

They say the heart grows fonder

With every step you take

But as you move away from me

I feel my body break🐇 ~Downhearted~

No, Sarah’s not actually dead, I just wanted to draw it like this cause, hi I’m sick in the head. But yes, here’s another character added along with Sarah: Vincent, also known as The Plague. He is also a sorcerer, but his sorcery causes diseases. He is on the hunt for his “defect” which is Sarah. He is who gave her sorcery as a young age, and is afraid that she will become stronger than him and rule over all. And I added a scythe as his weapon cause why not make him have a reaper feel. Also I decided fuck it with the hands and just do quick little things so don’t rant the living hell out of me bout it, please, thanks.
