They say laughter is the best medicine,

Hers tasted like tangerine, or maybe a clementine,

Something sweet,

I could hold it in the palm of my hand,

Like something precious, but back then?

Back then it felt big enough to share.

Children’s hands are like that, reaching, holding, calling out to each other’s.

I still feel sticky sweetness between my fingers and taste the laughter on my tongue.

Oranges cast a shadow over her,

An eclipse of citrus over sunshine skin,

The peel left behind on the playground, the goodness lost between baby teeth.

I wonder if she will ever outgrow the figure I have made of her.

I don’t think she ever tried.

We are grown now, pith picked clean,

and the orange trees have never felt so far.

Tried out digital oil paints today!

[profsly]

My first attempt at digital art in a bit. Still getting used to it. This is my dnd character Adrian, a high elf fighter. I was thinking about thematic colors that appear in his design and in his story. Red represents his noble family and the ties he has to that way of life. Blue represents his attempts at forging his own path that have lead him out of the light and to both another blue coded character and a black coded character. As the story is progressing he is slowing having to adapt in a way that is stretching out his own idea of his identity. He spent his entire life preparing for what he thought his future would be and now he is in a position he feels is unsuited to him. He keeps dropping parts of his created persona and being surprised when his companions don't hate what he is. I could rattle about my boy for hours.

Actual image of me fighting for my fucking life on discord

I wish my pt was like this, I could use some little kisses while destroying my leg muscles.

Another struggle piece.

I randomly rolled the instruments I would be using today. It was fun! I'll probably try again tomorrow. This one sounds a little bit storybook, probably on account of the lute.

Just a simple one today, something meant to sound a bit like a lullaby.

[profsly]

My first attempt at a five part harmony for a choir! Not my best work but I'm still figuring it out. I nicknamed this one "The Impossible Choir" because I don't think it is actually possible for human voices to perform it.

[profsly]

This one has fought me all day long, the inspiration was the middle orchestral section you see in old musicals at the intermission. But here comes a two day streak!

[profsly]

I wrote this little bit of a score yesterday, and I'm trying to get better at it. So for the next year I'm going to try to write at least 32 measures a day. Wish me luck!
