Evim yandığından beri, ayı daha net görüyorum.  

İçime düşen tüm cennetlere bakıyorum.  

Ellerimle tuttuğum cennetler gördüm fakat bıraktım.  

Tutamadığım sözler gördüm. Azaltamadığım acılar. 

İyileştiremediğim yaralar.  

Dökemediğim gözyaşları.  

Kederlenemediğim ölümler gördüm.  

Karşılık veremediğim dualar, açamadığım kapılar, kapatmadığım kapılar, geride bıraktığım sevgililer ve yaşayamadığım hayaller.  

Kabul edemediğim, bana sunulanların hepsini gördüm.  

Arzu ettiğim, asla almadığım mektuplar gördüm.  

Olabileceklerin tümünü gördüm fakat asla olmayacak.  

Hortumunu yukarı kaldırmış bir fil, yıldızlara mektuptur.  

Balinanın suda sıçraması, denizin dibinden bir mektuptur.  

Bu imgeler hayallerime bir mektuptur.  

Bu mektuplar, sana olan mektuplarımdır.  

Kalbim, pencereleri yıllarca açılmamış eski bir ev gibidir.  

Fakat şimdi pencerelerin açıldığını duyuyorum...

The demo for Snow White Ashes, a dark, romantic fairy tale VN, is out now!

One winter night, you meet a hunter in the woods: A man so warm and gentle you feel as if you've known him all your life.

But appearances can be deceiving. 

You'd know that well, wouldn't you?

Snow White Ashes is a romance visual novel (GxB) made for a couple of end of year game jams, and playable now on itch.io!

The demo includes:

6k words

1 ending with 2 variants*

Hand drawn artwork (5 CGs)

An original piano-based soundtrack

One charming, not at all bloodthirsty love interest

You, a completely innocent and guileless heroine.

Game link (itch.io)

(For long time friends: Yes, this is a reboot of some very, very old OCs in the Mistwalker verse. I hope you'll enjoy what their new story has to offer!)

I'm just thinking about people who say Snow despises Katniss because he sees Lucy Gray in her...but what feels more painful to me is that Katniss (and Peeta to a certain degree) not only embodies the qualities that the capitol despises the most regarding the districts, but Snow can see so many people involved with those 10th hunger games tributes in her:

He sees Lamina looking at Marcus in pain and killing him out of sheer mercy in Katniss shooting Cato as a mercy kill.

He sees Reaper Ash's burial and defiance by giving his fellow districts a dignified death and sepulture when Katniss remained by Rue's side and decorated her grave with flowers.

He kind of sees Coral, albeit in a much more ironic way, this girl who was ruthless and embraced such violence with the purpose to protect herself and her district partner, the one she nurses back to health and refuses to leave behind, with the wish to have either one of them survive the games, only to realise it was all for nothing once she loses him and is about to die, when she loses her frail little sister at the hands of District 13.

He sees Sejanus standing for the revolution and fighting for others in detriment of his own safety, maybe not even taking the best judgement at times, in Katniss and not only her protection of Peeta, Rue, Mags, Wiress, but also her general place in the rebellion and restless pursuit of saving Peeta.

He sees Lucy Gray, who stood by Jessup's side until his last breath and refused to abandon him, that never conformed to what the capitol expected from her, and her long lasting and unbreakable heritage and print in Katniss' during the entire saga, but especially in the song that haunted him once as a reminder of the monster he truly is, and that came back to haunt him again in his downfall.

But most importantly, he sees himself, a man defined by his sense of survival, by his practicality and selfpreservation, in this less than 18 year old girl, and that's what terrifies him the most about that district 12 girl: the fact she forces him to confront that he caused so much pain out of a hunger that was never justified, that he could have made SO many things differently, and that most importantly, different to what he would try to say to himself, there was always another choice, and he might have not chosen the correct one every single time it came to deciding what path to take.

“ But lost chances are as much a part of life as chances taken, and a

story cannot dwell on what might have been. “

" ولكن الفرص الضائعة هي جزأ لا يتجزأ من الحياة كما هي الفرص المتاحة، ولا يمكن للقصة ان تتطرق إلى ما كان يمكن أن يحدث. "

“It always stimulates me to discover new examples of my own prejudice and stupidity, to realize that I don’t know half as much as I think I do.”

“ .يُحفزني دائماً إكتشاف أمثلة ج��يدة من تحاملي وغبائي لإستوعب إنني لأ أعلم نصف ما أعتقد إنني أعلم ”

Thinking about how pale ore is eerily chill to the touch

about how PV's spells, likely learnt from its father, take on the same shape as nails made out of an ore allegedly related to its parents

about how those spells are pretty much a solid state of soul for a few moments about how solid state of matter is often the most "cold" state, generally speaking

about how cold it's often associated with lack of emotion and corpses

Also thinking about how the knight's spells, learned from the snails, is more raw, more volatile

stated and shown to literally burn opponents, more of a hot blast than a proper solid mass

shaped and named after haunting ghosts, spectres that do not lay to rest, despite soul itself being present in the whole environment and not necesarily directly linked to sentient beings

about how it is strong emotions what fuels their transformation into their more powerful state through the usage of void, a volatile yet maleable substance, and the opposite of light
