I wrote a poem for Cold Sands danmei novel years ago, right after I finished the novel because I was so inspired by the story and it made my heart ache. Here is the poem:

Wings clipped by truth The fall swift and harsh Lies unveiled  Fate strung a web of deceit  A trap, snaring the victim This bird, tied down Voice cut-out -silenced Never to sing Never to cry out Never to sing its beautiful melodies once more Never to give sound to its pain The world itself, what a beautiful cage- A big and wide unknown, and sometimes deceitful place Freedom- is only a short illusory image  Unobtainable- A Mirage in the desert when one is dying from thirst Just out of reach, as though grasping at sand as it slips through your fingertips And as the dark begins to unravel Twist and unwind- Mighty is the weight thrust upon the heart, Subduing its pulse, the beating drum- a strangled ba-thump...ba-thump...ba-thump... An anchor drowning the soul, Just as as heavy as one that bears a crown upon their head,  No escape is possible now  As the strings of fate tighten, the birds wings are broken Fragmented and shattered Unable to never fly Never again to soar the skies

(End/ Extra below)

......

Did you ever once hear the Greek tale of a boy, the boy who wanted to fly close to the sun?

His father created wings of made wax for his child and warned him, told him not to fly to high, to not fly to close to the sun.

However, the boy, Icarus, didn't listen to his father's words.

He flew, soaring higher, and higher, as close as he could get to the sun. His wings made of wax were melted away by the suns brilliance and Icarus fell to earth.

To his end.

And the Lotus flower, that blooms at the bottom of a lake, steeped in mud, struggles and craves, longing and yearning for the suns brilliance, but they can never touch the sun.

And a bird, born with wings to fly, can only fly so high, but never crossing that line, that boundary.

And sometimes love is just the same.

Not every story can have a happy ending, no matter the toil, the strife, the pain.

And some times, no my matter how much you love someone, you may forever be enemies, on opposing sides, love hidden deep in your heart, and all you can do, is to stare wistfully at the horizon, yearning until the end.

Silentreader. Get muted lol.

(once again inspired by @sinusoidaldysfunction )

hello!! you have 2 options for the request, since I can’t decide which one I want more :) obviously don’t have to do both, I’m just giving you options. primrose (right) doesn’t have a full body ref yet, so it might be easier to do silentreader, but idk, your choice! here’s some info about them!

silentreader is a night/silk hybrid who was born with verbal apraxia, which meant they couldn’t perform the necessary functions to speak. the only way they could speak was through telepathy. they grew up pretty bullied by all the other nightwings in their town, and it was made worse because they had strong mind reading powers, which meant they heard everything, whether it was said out loud or not. but then they got a break when they went to jewel mountain academy (my universe’s version of JMA) and met some new friends. they ended up in a poly relationship with two of their clawmates, katniss of the mudwings, and moon of the nightwings.

primrose is a silk/ice hybrid, and currently lives in the kingdom of ice. he runs an inn specifically catered to hybrids visiting the frigid area, and has employed mostly other hybrids to help. he often gets mistaken for being a girl (which sucks because he’s a trans guy), but other than that, he lives a mostly comfortable and easygoing lifestyle. besides his inn, he’s most well known for his elegant silk weavings, which are made with his sparkly icy silk. primrose isn’t really into the idea of a relationship, but doesn’t mind romantic gestures with his close friends.

Here's Primrose!

I love his colors, and this has definitely made me realize how much I love Silk/Ice hybrids

The Temperance - Fei Du My contribution for Priest Zine event at Twitter, the theme is tarot card. I tried to incorporate the main element of the temperance for example, usually it depicts the figure with one foot on the water and the figure usually holding a water vessel or moving liquid between two vessel. So I choose wine since it's Fei Du fav drinks (don't tell Shi xiong) -MH-

I wonder if Tumblr still allows this kind of content? Anyway, another novel illustration! Priest doesn’t write explicit scenes, but I still have my imagination....

“I know we’re strangers, but can you at least hug me back?”

Kaeli was taken a little off guard by the sudden remark. Instantly, she felt a little embarrassed over the idea she might have offended the woman that reminded her of a gentle flower caught in the early morning dew. For a few brief seconds Kaeli started up at Alicaryn with her large violet eyes before coming to smile and wrap her arms around the woman’s waist to squeeze the woman into a hug. (Thanks height difference.)

“Oh, but of course! My apologies! Sometimes I-… Just get a little caught off-guard,” she answered shyly with a subtle blush across her cheeks.

(Thank you for the ask/prompt @littlestcreampuff !!! You’re such a sweetie! 💜)
