I wonder if chuuya’s parents ever stopped hoping he’d come back. if they still left the porch light on every night, just in case—so it wouldn’t be dark if he somehow wandered home. I wonder if they kept his room the same, sheets smoothed out like he’d be back any minute, his favorite stuffed animals still sitting on the bed like they’re waiting for him too. maybe his mom still buys the cereal and pasta he liked when she goes to the grocery store. maybe his dad never fixed the bathroom doorknob because he said he’d show chuuya how to do it since chuuya wanted to learn to use a drill. maybe they still set an extra place at the table on his birthday. maybe his toothbrush is still in the cup by the sink. maybe they leave the window cracked open in spring, just a little, like they used to when he said the air helped him sleep. I wonder if they ever stop living like he'll still walk through the door one day.
мой любимый арт! я к нему нарисовала ещё и обратную сторону в стиле арахабаки. хотите увидеть?
Friendly reminder to artists and book enjoyers, or anyone really
Go to your local library
It's free and usually fairly quiet
You don't even gotta read something from the library, like you can bring your own books and comics etc
I grew up in libraries, like, my mom was a librarian before she had kids and so we'd go all the time to see her old co-workers
I'm posting this from my local library while reading manga and listening to The Automatic, this album btw highly recommended

@lotus-pear congrats on 5k!!:3
I don't think I've ever drawn Dazai not suffering, today is no different
(I tried to post this before but I don't think it worked properly, hopefully it works this time)
Hay, what with the election and all I hope everyone is doing okay (as okay as you can be) (alive, and I'd like you to stay that way)
I'll be posting more trans art in the next few days as I feel like it's an appropriate time for it,,
It's not fair and things shouldn't have turned out this way, community, wherever you find it is more important than ever right now
