my attempt at making a fursona

🕯️✩°｡⋆ shrines ✧ purity ring ⋆｡°✩🕯️

The first time I ever heard purity ring was in 8th grade and on Vine. I’m sure some of you will remember the 6 second videos that constructed and upheld our tween days. I was following some girl named “Piper” and she had posted a 6 second video at a show with a hand full of people and fluorescent twinkling lights made up the stage. There was a feeling that gathered inside of me that I had never felt before when listening to music, it was twisting my insides and made me want to search to the ends of the earth for more of those soft , fluid, and ambient sounds. I looked at the comments and the song was OBEDEAR by purity ring.

As I’ve grown older this album has inspired me in ways that have pushed me to seek out the magic that fills the universe [Especially producing my own sounds and music.] Every time I listen to this album I can picture and create scenarios inside my mind to play as I listen. I’m going to write what each song makes me think and feel.

SHRINES

crawlersout - Immediately I think of the way each and every sound was made and how Corin is able to create sounds that I’ve only heard before in my dreams. It’s as if I’ve listened and heard these sounds in lifetimes before and after. I feel creepy yet soft as I listen to the magic that the lyrics are creating. Megan’s voice is the lullaby that I want to wake up to every morning, listen to throughout the day, and fall asleep to during the midnight hours as the moon is the only light that fills my room.

2. fineshrine - I’m jumping around my friendly fire with the rest of my friends who are and can be animals, insects, the wind, the roots below, the moon above, and everything else you only one can imagine. I wish to be surrounded by these drum kicks who are so prominent yet so warm and calming.

3. ungirthed - peach is the color that this song makes me see. It’s little sparks off a cream color that end up mixed with peach to create a sour and sweet sound literally just like sorbet. [Maybe I’m sorbet in a cup at the moment I’m listening to this song.] Listening to Megan say “the air is familiar” reminds me of the lifetimes we’ve lived throughout and how infinite we are. [OK PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER -_-]

4. amenamy- the first sound makes me see rays of lights that I can only hear as I am floating under the water looking up. This is one of my all time favorite tracks on this album because I feel like I am swimming alongside all the fish as we flow under and over the trinkets that we live amongst under the sea. The reverb is a cradle to me in this song, it holds me as I’m swimming in the lyrics and notes that Corin and Megan were able to create.

5. grandloves- I see myself walking down that corridor that seems never ending in our dreams. Pale light guides me as the path is narrow and I’m trying to find my way out. Young Magic and Megan’s voice are echoing down and around as I keep walking forth. The little twinkly notes create light that help me see the path that seems never ending.

6. cartographist - such a daunting beginning, I feel like I’ve yet to come out of the dark corridor I was trying to escape. But it is as though the comfort of walking for a while has helped me push forward. Suddenly I’m no longer walking and I can see machines and gadgets working to create something, anything it seems. The soft and whimsical feeling that was created earlier has now turned into something more sinister, yet still intriguing. I’m not scared, I want to see where I’m being led. I don’t know where I’m headed, but I’m comfortable knowing change is coming. After time [that seemingly does not exist in this realm] continues to pass me by, I keep walking as I end up finding doors that lead to another eternity.

7. belispeak - I’m running. Maybe because of the song title, I feel like something is chasing me and wants to eat me, not due to hunger, but for longing to fill a type of void. But each and every time it thinks it has me, I am able to avoid it, it’s like something is taking care of me. Something that I can’t see but I can feel all around me. It’s like although I keep on running and running, I know I’ll be able to get away each and every time. Am I the one running away? Am I the one chasing?

8. saltkin - It’s an awakening. There is no fear, I am strong. I am magical, I am powerful. Everything around me and inside of me, is what I have created. There’s no where to go, I’ve been everywhere. I am the creator and I am the creation. I was then, I am now and I am forever. The power this song holds is for you to find here, there, in the next, forever. OUR BODIES WILL RETURN.

9. obedear - I feel safe within this song. It’s a reminder of the past memories and the paths that have led me to find this type of feeling that hides within lyrics and music. I can see and feel the little notes that make the song and I hear and see the lyrics that Megan has wrote. The colors in the sky are green, which would implicate something wrong, yet theres nothing to be afraid of. The universe unfolds within the sky and surrenders, there is nothing to fear as we live alongside what we cannot see.

10. lofticries - This is my favorite song on the album. I am fascinated by the sounds and noises. OVER AND OVER AGAIN, I listen to this song and I picture the spells and ingredients used to create this type of magic. I am filled with envy and sadness as I wish I could experience this song for the first time again, every time. [explains why I see green and blue when listening.]

This song is me floating in the middle of the sea and as I look up all I can see is the green thunder and the dark gray clouds that overturn any sense of light. I can feel the water drop on my face as the clouds cry tears of black back into the void of sea. Although the world around me is loud and dark, I am at peace. I am serene with the fact that there’s darkness that extends to the farthest realms of the earth. I am okay with the world being scary and dark. I accept it and choose to be the light.

11. shuck - Transcending from light. All in that one moment where I can see the sparks pop out of the fire, is this song. It’s the moment of looking up at the moon and realizing you exist amongst magic and are created by it. It’s the wind that kisses your cheek and reminds you that you are never alone.

In conclusion, this entire album is a story to me. It may not be a story to you. Everything I explained might make you think I’m schizophrenic or batshit crazy, but there’s certain things that music has always made me feel and see inside the pits of my brain that I’ll never be able to truly explain in words to the extent in which I wish could. This album is made of magic, all kinds.

c u next time -

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

TOTAL INSECURITY WHEN THEY COME AFTER ME

Yoooo! Another FNAF piece! This time with Vanessa, my beloved... I kinda went wild with this one. ANYWAYS LISTEN TO TOTAL INSECURITY. AND WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO. I tried a whole new shading style with this, I think I like it.. And underpainting??? Oh my god. Yeagh. It's not as good as other pieces I've done, I could have gone more fluid, better with the expression.... I might come out with a more cartoony and expressive one later. but overall? I'm happy with how it came out!!! Anyways.

IM GONNA BLEEEEED!

I'M GONNA STAYYYY I'LL NEVER LEAVE (I'LL NEVER LEAVEEEE)

'TIL NIGHT BECOMES DAY

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE OTHERS THAT CAME (CAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!) OUGH
