How did you find me?

Independent ask/rp blog with an undertale/fandomless basis for Caleb Fortis |Icons for Caleb  by @Mischief-Rei

[thecrypticshadow]

Hello!

Just a post to introduce myself and explain a bit about this blog.

I'm Cryptic or Self in many places. I'm currently studying a MA in Fine Art. This is my rp/writing blog I established ages ago. It has quite a bit of my older art in it and a significant amount of rp and writing! While I'm still very much around for tumblr rp as I always enjoy writing, life and activity has VERY much reduced my ability to be on here and well. That's fine, life is as it as.

I'm still around though! Just very intermittent and low activity. I rp way more on discord these days and am still going strong with my art. If people want to hit me up to rp with them, feel free to drop me an ask.

Further. I do have an artblog I just started up. I'll be dropping art there periodically as I work my way through my like.. 60 piece is it posting backlog for instagram and other socials

[A thing I did for my dnd party. A chant they encountered.]

Great father said you needed me

Sat there next to laying not-rock and standing rock in a field of sadness

Said you'd lost your two-legs pack,

So here I am, tail thump thump thumping.

Hello small one, can we be friends?

A hole I smell in the you within, you hurt alone too.

I cant fix the hurt, that hole

But maybe another with joy I can fill.

You're looking at that standing stone,

Strange things you trace with two legs paws

Come here oh small one, oh how you hurt.

A face I nose, a paw i offer

your paws you wrap around.

I'm here now oh small one. Great Father said you needed me now.

Your taller now oh small one, upon not-grass do we roam

Empty bellies seem less empty in company, not alone.

I'm taller too, oh small one, time fickle I spent

Oh I spend with care

Let me lean with you oh small one,

Find in my fur warmth and care.

Let me be pack when two-legs wont, for I'm here now oh small one Great Father said you needed me now.

Among others now oh small one

We creep and sneak and roam.

Two legs sometimes run after us but we never run alone

Larger pack now oh small one, many friends but close still we are.

Danger here under not-tree wood and danger there under uncle sky

But less you shake when moon does wake, under this not-tree wood sky

I'm greyer now oh small one, How tall have you grown

Safer still among new pack, like I was for others you are.

I watch still oh small one, though sometimes by two-legs fire I must rest.

Never alone here 'In-side' or outside where we roam.

Don't worry for me oh my small one, time no enemy is.

For she gave me this, with fathers bliss, my purpose and my time

I'm still here now oh small one

Great Father said you still me for now.

Back here now oh small one. This place once of such pain,

With new pack- 'guild' oh small one, your horned alpha here, our friend

I see small ones run my small one.

Like I was, for them you are

I'm so proud oh my small one, I'm tired but still my tail I wag.

For you are like me now oh my small one. But among a wider pack.

I watch you oh my small one,

Did two legs wings always have?

I'm so tired now oh my small one.

I see Mother now, I'm sad.

But you don't need me now oh small one, my time she says is done.

In your heart I am oh small one.

To another pack I'm called to run.

Good bye I say oh small one, under your wing I come to rest

Your hand I nose, a paw I offer Before I lay and rest

Don't cry now oh my small one, your new wings so beautiful are.

I go to run now oh my small one

In time I shall see you once more.

I close my eyes now oh my small one, among our pack I do lay.

I breathe out now oh my small one

Can you see me and mother as we run and play?

I love you oh my small one, how proud I am of you.

For you don't need me here oh small one.

For others have need of you.

"Hello there!" The green mage called in greeting as he made his careful way down the slope toward the stranger. "It seems like you might be in need of some assistance, can I be of help?"

More of My art.

[thecrypticshadow]

My art.

This is, in part my response to a rather vile ask I've just received.

I hope you have a better day going forward. I hope that some day when you find that you don't like the person who decided to be unpleasant that you're not too hard on yourself. Over life we change, not all changes are good, not all changes are bad. What matters is that at the end of the day we like the person we are.

And to be frank. I'm not really of a mind to overly care about someone's opinion of pieces that I did many many years ago. I like the person I am. I find joy in the fact I'm improving and working to better myself, despite everything.

Oh. By the way. I've turned Anonymous messages off.

You always cared for your home. Be it just a house in the middle of a city or elsewhere. Always cared for it if you wanted it to care for you back. A house uncared for developed many a problem and fault that could harm. A house you cared for developed quirks but was a far kinder companion.

Most people, in kinder places with far more people, traded skill for skill or money for the use of those skills. Did a job and in turn had jobs done for them. A gardener might help you care for your garden, a roofing man cared for your roof and so on and so forth. Benefiting from company.

He wasn't most people. He lived alone, deep in a forest full of dryads and other creatures. So, he was both gardener and roofer..amongst other things. Or well. He was what he needed to be when he needed to be it.

Right now, he was on a roof, trying to be a roofer. Trying to repair cracked roof tiles and to not think about how so very far away the ground looked. Trying to ensure his house in flowers wasn't a very leaky house in the flowers, courtesy of the tree that had dropped on it the previous week.

A tree he certainly was cursing at the moment. It'd cracked 5 roof slates and some of the stuff underneath it, caused a steady stream of water into his kitchen through the ceiling. At least..whenever it rained. A leak, caused by said tree, that had caused him to have to come up here, magic and all to repair the leak.

Caused him to be here now, trying to not think of-damn he was thinking about it. "Someone needs to invent magic that lets you do this from the ground." He'd grumbled as he worked. Grumbling his way through each repair or replacement of tiles. Grumbling through his carefully checking each to ensure they'd stay put before..once he was done, he grumbled his way back to his ladder.

"Heights..why do repairs have to involve heights.."

"So let me get this straight, you thought you'd run through here to..escape a flower?" Caleb cocked his head a bit then. "Do you mean.. Flowey the flower or just a flower? "

"Well, I suppose you best come in either way." He commented then, gesturing deeper into the garden that spread out behind him.

[Been going through things and checking the tags. I'm also around on discord too if people want to find me and rp with me there too.]

"Now now now, hold on a moment." The druid spluttered as he held up both hands and faced the stranger, the stranger who'd found his garden. "I don't know who you think I am but I'm assure you you're certainly mistaken as to who I am!"

"I've not been there in ages!"

[thecrypticshadow]

Whistling echoes through the gardens of the green mage. Its occupant,younger once more, calm at work as he ministered to the garden, to each plant and tree. Humming as he walked about,golden eyes shimmering as hands danced in complex patterns. Patterns that breathed life back into the greenery and coaxed into greater life. "Awake oh sleeper." He hummed as he called another tree into greater life as he continued his work.

His ageless work, caring for this oasis of life. For this garden grove. His grove.

Getting back into this.

[Hello all. I can only apologise for my long absence. Life has been hectic and filled with uniwork and health related matters. I'm doing okay and am almost done with my BA course. I apologise for just disappearing.]

[I'm trying to get back into this.]
