The Burden of Being Human part 2
The Burden of Being Human Part 1
"Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle."
GREAT EXPECTATIONS | CHARLES DICKENS
... Instinctively, absolute terror makes the most sense to me, yet when I try to think this through logically, I can think of normal reasons for the first two, but not for absolute terror. This confuses me.
'there is no clock here', spoken in a variety of tones and affects; relief, calm, absolute terror
Lol I forgot about this video.
I once heard somewhere that the opposite of dysregulation is self expression
Any time that our emotions feel like they're out of control, or we feel empty and hollow, or like we're anxious or scared or shaking and tense for some other reason, or we're so apathetic to everything around us that it's hard to get ourselves to do anything, that's emotional dysregulation. A lot of people think that the opposite of that is just nothingness, but I heard somewhere once that the opposite is actually self expression, like writing about it, talking about it, painting about it, anything that lets those feelings be seen and expressed and felt and released.
I wonder if that's why art can be so healing. I wonder if writing just a little something about it whenever I have the energy for it, could maybe help.
This is the pinnacle of art.
I mean, it spans the full range of emotion. Mystery and curiosity, struggle and anger, generosity and adorableness, it has it all. And what greater art is there than cats?
babies!!!

My gosh, the quality of fanart never ceases to amaze me! His eyes are so pretty and the lighting is beautifully done, and beyond that, it does a great job of capturing Klaus’s emotions; the whole thing just aches.
I’m really glad Netflix recommended Umbrella Academy to us. I’d never heard of it before, but it was definitely an interesting story and it’s always fun to happen on to something good right as it becomes popular! I mean, I love a good niche interest, too, but like, it’s just more convenient when a bunch of people are interested in the same thing at the same time. Fandom will also help with the all-too-long wait for season 2...
‘Klaus’ from The Umbrella Academy Just finished the season and so far he’s my favourite.
I love how palpable the emotion is in this drawing. You can feel Ed’s anger melting away into confusion, regret, and sadness; you can feel Oswald’s deep hurt (emotional as well as physical) but you can also feel how his love for Ed overpowers it and turns it to forgiveness. It’s like a summary of the twists and turns of their relationship all in one art piece, dark but surprisingly hopeful. It’s painful and beautiful and lovely and definitely among my favorites; this is one of those drawings I’ve just stared at for an extended period of time while listening to music.
Here to deliver more angst. Really hope we at least get a kiss out of the disaster that is going to unfold in the next few episodes.
Rage
With fear I watched your rage unleash,
a rage that seemed to find no peace.
Grew into footsteps — worn with ire,
cursed to bear the same old fire.
Now grown, my fear lies in the past,
although your shadow still is cast,
whenever rage runs through my veins,
binding me to your old chains.

Healing Rain
And I yearned to gather each tear's soft remain,
as if pouring them back;
was to spawn a healing rain, to ease the pain;
in eyes that saw through all the things I've done,
forever closed, when two souls began to feel like one.
by Weltenasche.
Walls
The walls that I forged, standing through years,
crumbling away, dismissing past fears.
Each one demolished — by my own hand,
at Love's command, none could withstand.
by Weltenasche.
The Day We Met
Copper-red hair, a face unseen,
A beauty in pixels, formed through a screen.
Your hands, your art, a black beret;
was all I knew until that day.
As the train doors parted, far and wide,
I scanned the platform, eager-eyed.
When in a sea full of eyes, I found your pair,
to fall in love, right then and there.
by Weltenasche.
Nightstand
On my nightstand, a part of you remains,
from dawn's first blush to night's quiet plains.
Where I once looked into your eyes,
to start and end each day,
I now find solace in a picture,
in the same loving way.
by Weltenasche.
Reflections
You made me beautiful, held within your eyes,
a reflection I could cherish, to my surprise.
But in a thousand gazes, I sought in vain,
that same sweet beauty, I'd never find again.
by Weltenasche.
A Silent Farewell
In the shadows, where farewells are said,
I felt like a stranger to the words I once had;
Tears fall like rain on the ones left unsaid,
may you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead.
by Weltenasche.
Love's Unseen Roots
In the garden of our love, we once grew free;
where your roots took hold deep inside of me.
But fate, unkind, veiled you from my eyes to see;
my heart, your grave, forever to be.
by Weltenasche.
Beyond words
In a world full of words, their purpose is clear,
to describe all we see, hold, and revere;
Yet when I tried to mantle you in written attire,
words could not fathom the love you inspire.
For you, my dear, defy all description,
a realm beyond words, a unique prescription;
In silence, your essence found its way,
where words, in wonder, still fail to portray.
by Weltenasche.

How Do You Recover After “Squid Game”?
Because I can’t... Ever since I’ve watched the series I kept thinking about it literally ALL THE FRICKING TIME... I have an upcoming exam and here I am... I’ve tried watching other things to get my mind off this series but nah... Not working... The only way out is to write it out now.
Where can I start, the characters... GOD!!! The characters were so realistic and relatable. Their heartbreaking backstories just broke me. I knew I would love the series since episode 2.
Sae-byeok and her brother; what they were going through was so tough. I also have a little sister and her being apart from the whole family is unimaginable.
Sang-Woo’s situation was the most relatable. He felt worthless and was burdened with his mother’s hope. He was stressed to the point of being suicidal. It was just too much. And I’m not ashamed to say that his character was the most realistic one and I love him.
And Ali, he was so innocent and grateful. His was probably the softest heart in the whole series. I wish I could just gave him a hug. He was just so lovely. HE DESERVED BETTER!!!
I need to talk to someone about ALL THIS THINGS or I’ll go crazy...
Howdy Friends! I updated my "A Little Ninja's Mission" story a wee bit and put it on Archive of our own. Here's the link if you wanna check it out.
I don't usually do portraits and many of my illustrations are composed of details too small to show their characters faces, so... I join #faceyourart with a few funny, happy meatball faces!
