the rain sounds nice.

i love the rain. do you like the rain?

i never understood why the rain was seen negatively. it’s magical. water falling from the sky! how beautiful is that?

the rain refreshes the ground and cleans the air. it fills our streams and lakes. the rhythm against the rooftop is a lullaby to fall asleep to. and yet, it’s always met with sour expressions.

perhaps im strange, but i have a sense of peace when i find out it’s raining. it’s like a soft whisper telling me it’s going to be okay. i can rest. i don’t have to think. the world has paused. it’s okay. it’s okay.

and right now, as i’m writing this, i am listening to the rain tap on my window. everything is okay.

I love rain.

I love its smell, the clean, crisp, cold air it brings. That specific smell, fresh and delicious, clearing out the air and my head.

I love waking up and/or falling asleep to the sound of rain pattering on the roof. The soft drips, the pounding lashes, the fat, heavy drops, the drizzle, the torrent, the in between. The calm ambiance of the sounds of rain.

I love watching it splash outside and ripple in puddles, slowly filling up the sidewalk with dark splotches. Painting the windows with water. Sticking to my hair, my glasses, my clothes, my, eyelashes.

I love its ambient, neutral, even lighting, and how it makes everything look outside, darker, deeper. The grass greener, the tree bark darker, the colors of the flowers more vibrant. The road is shiny and slick, midnight reflecting the bright sky.

I love the rolling low clouds, grey and eternal, full of depth yet depthless, blue, angry, depressed, gloomy, brushed, light.

I love the taste when you catch a drop on your tongue, sweet, alive, wise, childlike.

I love dancing in the rain.

I love rain.

Remembering the Rain

Digging my heels into the snow Biting into my skin and kissing it the same. I walk in the rain with nobody I know except the symphony of the pittering rain

Tears from the cloud never tasted so sweet My new rain boots squeak with every step, I match the raindrops' beat Humming happy songs, as the clouds wept.

Rising sun hidden under the gray. I know you're hiding, I haunt you and get closer. Oh, drown my weary mind with promises that you'll stay. Even so, you rest on the shoulder of your sister.

Breathe, breathe, breathe, need.

Finally shared a snack break with my pals at the park this evening

I had peanut butter crackers and they had frozen peas

The one with the speckled beak was literally shaking idk if it was cold or if it was like, scared of me, but it did eat out of my hand a few times so I wouldn't think that was the case

Edit: I looked it up and apparently ducks shake when they're really happy or excited?? bc their brains don't really have any other way to process/express emotions like that?? and like omg that's so fucking cute?? <3 <3 <3

(Plz don't tell me if this is false unless it's smthn I actually need to be aware of like for the ducks' safety or smthn bc otherwise you will break my heart and I will not forgive you)

Also I'm just gonna go on a tangent about my outing today bc it was nice

There was the eclipse today but it was too cloudy where I live to see it, I was lowkey kinda sad abt it but then it started raining so automatically the day got better

I decided to take a walk since it's usually too hot nowadays and walking in the rain is glorious and peaceful, but I turned around to go back and get the peas out of my freezer so I could go to the park and feed the ducks, grabbed some snacks for myself as well and went on my way

So I get to the park, worried bc the rain has kinda stopped, but it started back up again after I got there (the rain loves me so much I asked her to come back for me and she did)

I sat myself down at the end of the little dock/peninsula thing and the ducks came over to me and I told them I'd brought snacks this time like I said I would and started feeding them the peas

After a while I was like ok guys it's my turn to have a snack and I broke out the crackers and put on an episode of gravity falls (it was escape from reality from season 2, I got a little emotional tbh the pines really are the siblings of all time) and the rain really picked up then so we were getting pelted but we just kept hanging out, I'd toss them a handful of peas every so often until I ran out of everything

So then I got up and dusted myself off (and wiped the rainwater off my phone lol), bid my buddies goodbye and promised to come back at some point, and went over to the playground, which was empty since it was so rainy

Idk if you'll know what I'm talking about when I describe this thing that's over there, but it's like a rope jungle gym? Like a web of ropes suspended by metal poles? Anyway, I climbed up into that thing, got settled and put on my rainy day playlist and just chilled for a while

(The funky structure in question)

After hanging around in my makeshift nest for a bit, I eventually left the park, went the long-ass way home, and stopped for coffee on the trip back but I had finished it by the time I got to my building lol

Anyway I did a lot of fucking walking today for someone who was almost too exhausted to get out of bed and who's been having trouble with their legs being weirdly weak lately, but it was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon tbh

And for once I decided I would forego my dear little flecks of light and go for little drops of rain. The mood seemed to call for it. ☔🌧️

Meta Master Post: When It Rains, It Pours

I hyperfixated on this show. End stop. There was often more I wanted to say, but I needed sleep. It was the best fandom experience I have ever had in my life. And after the finale, I forced myself to move on (for now). Maybe one day I'll finish the fmv I mapped out and started. I do have a weekend away planned with my bestie next month where we've planned on watching this show together. It'll be her first BL, but I think she'll appreciate it. (Note: We only see each other about once a year since she lives 4+ hours away.)

This show was a journey. My thoughts and interpretations evolved and changed as the show progressed. Some points in earlier posts do not hold up to the test of time as the show progressed.

Since I wrote so much about this show, this first list focuses on the meatier posts. The posts that aren't really meta are listed in a separate list below.

Day 28 - RW 8th Anniversary Celebrations yapping and reflections below if you feel like reading

I finished this one a lot later than usual because i usually never draw this many characters in a single canvas and i also had some outside busywork today. Even though this probably won't reach a lot of people, I just wanted to give my appreciation to the game, fans, and artists who unconsciously inspired me to start drawing over a year ago in the first place. I truly could have probably never entered this creative medium without the game nor the community. I could delve into my life story and why it means quite a bit to me but i'll keep it at this for now. Just happy 8th rw anniversary and watcher release i suppose :) have a good one.
