Sticky Note

I met up with Cupid the other night. 

We haven’t seen each other for a while, honestly, and I had thought I wouldn’t be seeing her for a long time, but she just had her ways of showing up when I least expected it. I had forgotten how beautiful she was, how intoxicating, and how deadly she could be  --- a double edged sword, a bouquet of enigma and dopamine. Each time I recognized Her face in the crowd, I liked to believe the encounter wouldn’t hurt me like before.

It was so humorlessly funny in a way, me hoping the way I do.

Each time I fell like a fool.

Pained, I asked Cupid when I’d ever be blessed with happiness and not bitterness. She just smiled and answered in a language I’ve yet to understand. 

I don’t get her, I really don’t.

Who's your main character? Or who you draw the most is what I mean

Well, name-wise, it’d be Memphis. Since my accounts are all named after him, haha. I think he was the most drawn oc up until Kysme and Eden showed up-

What are some places or things that personally inspire your art?

I have to say the sky on clear days brings out an inspired feeling within me. The clear hues, and how the sunlight falls upon objects and how the shadows lap around it, it’s all very entrancing to me. And clouds, too, at sunset or sunrise. Not sure if it’s obvious but I truly am a sucker for vivid colors and lighting so you see that a lot in my art.

Some of the photos/art I reblog are also things or concepts that has sent a spark of inspiration into my mind. I could do well if I’d incorporate more of these elements into my art but I tend to get distracted down the process.

Listen

I like adding posts that remind me of my ocs to my blog so if anything ever reminds you of these fictional children I have created, please share with me, I’m so fucking down for it.

-going to start a new small tag #mrwritesshit to place small slices of writings that glimpse into my characters’ lives from different perspectives and moments

- will be using read mores if it’s more than a short paragraph long (but I doubt that will happen much)

I just opened a window and the thing, frame and all, plunged two stories down into the neighbor’s hedge.

me: I should go slow and smooth on the roads today, there's no rush to get to the destination. I'll put on some chill music and just -

[some idiot in front of me who doesn't use their goddamn blinkers stalls me by slowing abruptly and doing a turtle turn]

me: [motherfucking guns it]

Quiet announcement

I will probably be making more text posts on tumblr from now on. The truth is, I’ve restricted a great portion of myself to keep in my own terms of ‘posting quality’. Or aesthetic standards. Whichever you name it. But it feels stifling in a way.

See, I used to post a lot of casual journals/updates/polls on deviantart but gradually halted as my watcher number grew heavier; I had grown a bit tentative that I’d come as an annoyance to many of them. But within this space, I want to stretch out my figurative wings a little, instead of staying perfectly still in the glass box in which I’ve sat myself into on dA. Get comfortable, get (slightly) personal.

I won’t be spamming your dashboard with three posts per minutes, don’t worry. More like a post once every two days, perhaps, if I have any thoughts to share.

I just gotta learn to open up sometimes and this will be my attempt at it.
