It was weird. Weird to watch Vio be… Happy again.

Shadow had watched, watched every day, every moment as a ‘shadow—‘ he did nothing but watch the others.

He kept close to Vio, in hopes of watching his ‘friend’ go back to being okay, yet that’s not what he watched…. Because right now, soaking in the duskful rain, laughing sickly at the world around them; This was the first time in four years— Four YEARS that he’s seen their violet laid friend, show any sort of happiness.

Or, whatever this sick happiness was.

This just didn’t feel right, it felt like a painful spiteful laugh. A despising happiness, seeped in deep clutches of the mental battles and state they’d maintained since his death…

Shadow had thought for so long that Vio actually hated them from the start, and he held that grudge through death: For one year, another— And then it slowly dawned on him what Vio was doing.

The magic, tainted with their own blood— Was evil. They were sacrificing their own body, mind, blood, and soul towards trying to bring a shadow into life.

Giving their life; To born something, from nothing.

The grudge and hate was still there, it was still there! Yet… You can hate, and feel pity towards anyone: Empathy isn’t something Shadow gets- But it isn’t something he lacks.

Yet now? Vio just sat there laughing, almost maniacally, at nothing. They were loosing themself to the darkness they were playing with, and even then after the lectures from friends, concerns from family, they still dipped further into.

Like a bird, made from wax, flying too close to the sun— Yet Vio was that bird, flying too low by the abyss: Something that either way, the outcome is miserable.

Even their Shadow form wraps around Vio, as if a way to try and hug them, as the laughter broke into sobs and curses. A fake facade of happiness dripping in insanity breaking, to reveal just that.

A broken soul.

Someone who feathered too close to the abyss, and in turn—

Oblivion.

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

I swear to god one of these days were going to see a video of Amaury Guichon and he's going to be making some wings and they are going to look dope as hell, the detail of each feather will be breathtaking, he'll spray paint them to perfection, but as the video goes on, he's not building any sort of winged creature, just the wings. And then there's a human-sized harness (also made of chocolate, somehow, he can do it). And he's attaching the wings to the harness. And he's putting the harness on and he demonstrates how he can flap the wings. And then he'll be off. Out the window and up and up and up. And we'll be looking at the livestream (it's a livestream now) and we'll scream "No, Amaury, the sun! It's going to melt the wings!". But he knows this already. And he is free.

DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one

[liquidstar]

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

Woe, my passion project be upon ye-

And that's it! For Now!!

Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3 This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(

But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine

Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot... Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...

Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.

Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.
