I was out and made a quick stop to HMV, and was just browsing the racks. Turned around and saw it right in front of me and just had to!
Like with TPWBYT, the artbook is lovely and it's brilliant to be able to see all the album artworks up close and in detail. Plus, I had some fun translating the runes inside, even though I'm sure it's been done before.
#it's also the first time I've seen them in HMV!#like they never have it in stock online nor is it anywhere in store so this was really fun#I think I just lucked out tbh 😭#only got Sundowning to go and I've completed the set (yes I'm ignoring the fact the Jaws + TWTYW viynl exists bcs I can't be paying 500+)#love love love it#sleep token#st#mel's rambles#mel's photos#tmbte#sleep token tmbte#take me back to eden

Wait a minute. Okay, so this is a thing that came up while writing about something else entirely, and I had a throwaway line about something like this in an unrelated post but now that I'm looking at it further, I wanted to go more in-depth on it.
This one is looking first at the power dynamic Sleep holds over Vessel through different forms of being "above" him and Vessel being "below" Him, with a later discussion of the interplay of what "ground level" and "baseline" are defined by and how that could potentially be reflected in those spacial metaphors as it relates to earlier power dynamics.
(Also, this is very explicitly describing emotional and potentially medical abuse so please keep that in mind! Thanks and stay safe)
In Sundowning, especially in Levitate, we have this implication that Sleep can ascend, despite not reaching the gods, something that Vessel is incapable of and creates a very direct power dynamic between the two. Sleep can do things that Vessel can't, and has the ability to leave or create distance in a way that Vessel is incapable of doing and leaving him helpless waiting for that distance to close.
However, in TPWBYT, we take this concept of levitation being a means of escape or distancing and possibly a show of dominance, and flip it upside-down. Sleep is ducking into deep blue safety and swallowing keys to distance Himself from love and not moving at all in terms of this metaphor, really, all while Vessel falls deeper and deeper. it's a curious shift, going from Vessel being stuck on the ground while Sleep can rise up and away from him, to Vessel being helpless against the movement of the ocean that's pulling him deeper and deeper while Sleep appears to still have control over His movement and choosing not to follow. In a way, Sleep still remains above him, powerful in a way that Vessel simply isn't, though one could also debate how much Vessel may have potentially embraced his trajectory at times.
Finally, with the beginning of TMBTE, we've abandoned the pelagic metaphor of Vessel's state of mind, returning to the physical surface and back on "ground level" in every sense. Sleep once again can raise Himself up, this time bringing Vessel with Him on occasion, as seen in The Summoning. The continued dynamic of this throughout the course of the trilogy really then adds so much more weight to the moment we finally hit Ascensionism, and is further reflected in the idea of Vessel being a specifically winged insect in TMBTE or being even expressing the idea of bringing the heavens down in Euclid. After all, that shows an erasure of at least one of the ways in which Sleep held power over Vessel. Not an equalizer, but it's something incredibly powerful and a driving force for the remaining plot.
There's one other note, though, if we consider that metaphor of Vessel's mental state. There's another interpretation to investigate here, when it comes to what "the ground" means. After all, we left TPWBYT on the note of Missing Limbs, something just as if not even more bleak than Blood Sport. If Vessel, following the depth charts associated with TPWBYT, truly had hit the absolute rock bottom, the lowest you could possibly go in terms of his state of mind and mental health... instead of just the interpretation from earlier, what if we never left that new floor, the "ground" that was spoken of in Descending? What if that was our new floor, the starting point of TMBTE and spiritual successor to that previous metaphor of the depths of the ocean?
Think of it this way: when you hit that intensity and speed of spiraling to that dark of a place, is that not world-defining, paradigm-shifting? Knowing what "ground" or "base" level once meant, but mandating a new definition to reflect your current experiences? For the purposes of this post I'm looking at specifically mental health, but when you're living in constant pain, physical or emotional or otherwise, that changes what "normal" means to you, what a "baseline" level of pain or mood or anything else impacted looks like. That doesn't mean that the new normal is someplace without that pain or any distress or harm, but that's still what it is, the new ground upon which you most often reside. What if this is where Vessel begins TMBTE?
Chokehold, the beginning track, fits well with this concept; Vessel asks Sleep to be shown the unknown and to be shown the way, regardless of any suffering it may bring, aware of how much power Sleep has over him via that chokehold and how his worth is only defined by what he can do for Him but still asking Him for direction. As described earlier, we have Vessel in The Summoning then begging Sleep to raise him up again, taken past the edge to see the other side and what it's like to have the power He has, but in the context of this interpretation he also is begging to be lifted up out of this deep dark place he's found himself in a way he didn't beg for in Sundowning, even if for a moment, to see what it's like to not live like this, to feel like he's being cared for and having his needs met for just a little while.
With that in mind, the amount of power Sleep has over every aspect of Vessel's life, particularly his mood and stability here, appears total up to this point, at least in how Vessel is describing it. It isn't until Ascensionism that we find Vessel having this massive breakthrough in the middle of a track that perhaps intentionally breaks you to your core, this moment of realizing he doesn't have to rely on Sleep for this the way he used to or was led to believe.
Depending on how you interpret Are You Really Okay, this may or may not also extend to him being able to mitigate or control any future downward emotional spirals, but even if he can't do so it's the fact that Sleep isn't the only option for him to turn to that's critical. Not only that, but by this point this newfound agency can be further extrapolated into so much more. Expanding on the initial paragraph about this album, Vessel can follow Sleep if He tries to levitate to establish dominance by being hot and cold or generally "above" Vessel. There's a monumental difference between asking someone if they wished that they loved you, even if you still want them to deep down, and begging someone that unresponsive to fall for you.
Ultimately, the takeaway here is that Vessel was able to reclaim agency over something critical to his survival that Sleep had previously used to control and hold over him. A lot happened in the process, there was a great deal of pain before he got to that point and it clearly didn't magically fix his issues or erase the impact of what he's gone through and his current situation with Sleep, but it happened and it still matters, regardless of how you interpret the ever-shifting locations and their possible implications.
#levitate always fascinates me but it's hard for me to explain why. but here's one aspect of it!#that's all under this interpretation at least#I'm biased though#in that I like to imagine that Vessel's state of mind at the end of TPWBYT wasn't drastically changed between Missing Limbs and Chokehold#like how Blood Sport can very easily be linked to Atlantic#rip this other post i actually intended on making. i at least have quotes and some ideas but this came out of nowhere and possessed me#aqua's offerings#sleep token#i swear i love the romance in this discography this is just what keeps happening when i open a new post to talk about themes#but for romance do talk to me about give and drag me under and telomeres(!!!!) and rain and fall for me and jaws and twtyw and jericho and-

For everyone who's been following my saga of insanity today, comparing the songs from TPWBYT to their inverted counterparts on TMBTE has not yielded the same commonalities that Sundowning did, unfortunately. But I still insist that Mine and Rain are sisters and maybe one day I'll write about why, but for now my phone battery is at 15% and I'm still at work so 🫡 another time

Funny how after this post i thought i'm gonna be back on regular small offerings schedule in a few days and instead I've had one of the worst 2 weeks of my life, wooooo <3
The price you pay for a few days of productivity is not worth it, folks. (Kidding; it wasn't just that, january is shit on all fronts and i mean it from the bottom of my rusty heart.)
I have 100+ posts to keep up with in drafts lmao (it's not that i feel obligated to read them. I WANT to read them all), i haven't been in the main tag for ages i miss having time and energy to check the main tag and be more excited and interact more and god i miss drawing the small offerings so much. But my ideas for twtyw and tndnbtg require stuff i could not take with me for the trip so maybe I'll draw sth for the following songs instead, we'll see
HOW!! EVER!! I'm on a trip now and i hope seeing the absolute sunshine of a person that @vesselsscarlet is will awaken my dormant will to live create 💕💕💕
So i have been visited by the spirit of neurotypicality today and started ironing sheets and tablecloths that were waiting for 2 years to be ironed by me (i wish i was kidding, but it has really been 2 years) + tomorrow i am back at work (hello again, depressive states) and then have a family visit over the weekend, so i will probably not be able to post offerings for a few days! And most likely I'll be less active in general (unless i will be on tumblr instead of working. Again.).
Tbh i miscalculated how much time the ironing is going to take me and thought I'll still have time for today's offering, but well. Time is an illusion anyway, amirite
#SMALL UPDATE bc i may still be active here but it's not. what i want it to be lmao#and i still have half of the overdue ironing to do lmaoooo#tumblr stop constantly changing whole paragraphs when i cross out a single sentence in them challenge#fun fact i have started the twtyw piece 3 times and none of them was right but i have a big brain idea now and. i hope it's gonna work out#uuuuh#delete later#probably#if i won't forget lmao

Create ; Release - A Sleep Token illustration project
I've talked a bit about this art project before, but now that I'm close to finish painting the 1st round, I can finally make a Serious Master Post about it (to make it easier to find and because I need to have everything neatly organised or else I die).
Create ; Release is a series of painted illustrations for each Sleep Token album, where each song will have its own individual painting based on my favourite lyrics, tied together by a colour palette. They won't necessarily relate to the ST lore, even though there will be some elements included. I'm going for a bit more abstract/conceptual approach, so to speak.
I'm starting with This Place because 1) it's been on my mind a lot recently; 2) for some reason the colour blue has been incredibly inspiring for me (Darya's Blue Period era); 3) I just felt like it 💙
The original plan is to make the 3 albums, but I might expand to include the EPs and 2 singles. This project has been a lot a bit taxing and time-consuming, but incredibly fun and satisfying to make!
[Because I know myself, I'll hold off posting the final illustrations until I've had the whole album scanned and ready. That way, I'll make sure to actually finish it, and you won't wait ages between songs (there will be however a few weeks of waiting time between albums, to allow myself time to have them all pretty and ready!) I will be sharing a few sneak-peeks and what-not with you while creating them 😘]
Links and Tags (will update as we go):
All posts will be tagged as #create;release

Nobody wants this but here we go!
Fox’s Mega Analysis Of Sleep Token Lore:
Edit: I like what I have here, but this is no longer my theory, lmao. I have very differnt thoughts, and while this is long and thought out and feels like what I would do with a novel like what Vessel is giving us, I do not think this is like... the big one anymore lol. New Theory over here (x)
Under a read more cause this is gonna get Long, I can feel it.
I'm not gonna go through every single song here, over all albums and singles only, if anyone finds my insight intriguing hit me up in my ask box and I’ll go into detail about some things I guess. (I'm more likely to answer if it's anon btw, I will answer if it's not but it's more,,,, comfy for me if you go on anon). Also, please keep in mind I have been here for only a couple weeks (legit I only got into them on the 3rd of April 2023), so If I've Missed Something, don't be a jerk about it, ok?
This whole thing is going off of a few assumptions others have made, and I've come to on my own really, namely that there is no woman who broke Vessel’s heart, all the songs are about Sleep, or ‘from’ Sleep’s pov; I think it’s more that Vessel is compelled to make songs from Sleep’s pov more then Sleep takes over, and the entire discography is a back and forth conversation of Vessel trying to get more from Sleep, and Sleep Taking More from Vessel instead. And then the other assumption is the opposite of the one I read, that all the albums are already in chronological order, and were not released out of order.
Now going off of ‘no woman that broke Vessel’* assumption, makes one wonder, what does Sleep offer Vessel in this relationship? Why would Vessel stay with sleep, when there’s really nothing for him to gain? The answer is simple. As long as we look past some assumptions already considered ‘canon’.
Sleep did Not give Vessel his powers. He already had them.
And what Sleep offers Vessel is control.
In the songs, Love = Control.
Sleep offers to control Vessels powers, and Vessel uses them in the name of sleep, and becomes a weapon (something he calls himself multiple times through out the whole discography).
Except that we can garner from a few (ie, most of them) of the songs that Vessel doesn’t like what sleep uses him for, and even tries, begs and pleads for Sleep to not use him for this. To ‘love’ him differently, because Vessel still doesn’t actually have control, sleep just uses the powers.
One is very beginning of things, where Vessel is not looking at the fact that Sleep isn’t doing what he says he will, he’s aware of the fact that Sleep isn’t offering him control ‘when the bough breaks’ (his powers over flowing and hurting/killing people), but he’s trying to reason still.
Two is awareness and denial, but still going along with what is happening, more aware of how this is not going the way he wishes it to. Jericho is the first song from Sleep's POV, and the idea of him Calling Vessel more worthy than a gods hands speaks to Vessel's powers. (which goes into a bit of the meta I put for twtyw) *the only song in the dicography that I think mentions SOMEONE else as Her is Nazareth, I think this song is about Sleep and Vessel 'sacrificing' a woman, now be that just as sex, or you know, actually killing someone, up to you.
Jaws is from sleep's pov, and it's him giving a bit to Vessel, but it's asking Vessel to show him control, more than sleep Giving all of it. I think its a bit of him testing Vessel's control he already has and what it takes to break it, more then anything else.
Hey-Ya this is a Vessel song. I think it's him trying to go back into a state of denial while not exactly seceding.
The Way That You Were I think this is also a Sleep song, I think sleep genuinely thinks he is helping Vessel. but I think sleeps version of trying to help Vessel is trying to get him to lose control, not gain it.
Sundowning is Vessel realizing that Sleep is probably not gonna do what he says he will do, and is begging and pleading with him to Do What He Says He’ll Do. Blood Sport is Vessel giving up, and trying to commit suicide, the ending where he is sobbing, "I made ‘loving you’ a blood sport I can’t win" is him saying ‘you won’t help me, I can’t win’.
from the room bellow these are pure Vessel songs, there's nothing in here that is for Sleep, it is just him, and finding meaning in other's words to maybe get around part of sleep and vessel's deal, Vessel not being to write a song that is not in some way a worship of Sleep.
This Place Will Become Your Tomb is the intimidate after math, it's Sleep Not Letting Vessel Die, and Vessel giving in. Becoming the weapon Sleep wants him to be. It's Vessel asking Why Sleep wants him to be this way, and not getting an answer, but being under Sleep's influence is better than dealing with his powers on his own. It's also a very sleep pov heavy album, with it being almost completely altering pov.
Is It Really You? I am still up in the air about this one. I think something happened and sleep either shared something with Vessel, or Vessel saw something he wasn't supposed to.
Take Me Back To Eden. Now, this album. At the time of writing this we have almost half of the album, and none of them have been from Sleep's pov (and going from the title of the single that's release tomorrow [4/20] I doubt it's from Sleep's pov edit- it just dropped on youtube uhoh edit edit: yes its a vessel song.) All of them have been from Vessel's, and everything has an air for; not exactly rebellion, but something more like defiance. So far it's felt like the realization that Vessel Is More Powerful then maybe even Sleep, but at least more powerful then anyone has realized, and why should Vessel be Sleep's weapon when he can Be His Own. A lot of people have assumed that the album is going to end in Vessel's death, and while I won't rule it out, I think the album is going to end in Vessel's ascension into at least demi-godhood. probably full 'godhood'. Mostly I can't say it's going to end in Vessel's death, cause so far Sleep has done everything he can to keep Vessel alive.
Some Closing bits: I think that theres another overall theme, and that is Vessel longing for human companionship. Either because of his powers, or something else, I think that Vessel has been very isolated (and also maybe that could be another reason for falling into Sleep, even though he knows Sleep is not holding up his end of the deal), and I think that that is why the other Vessel's come into play, ii iii and iv are fellow vessel's cause they too have powers, and Vessel recruited them. Also on a light note, I think that one of Sleep's 'offerings' is sex, and sexual relations in his name, hence why they are so fuckin horny on stage.
And that my Sleep Token lore analysis, and thoughts and theorie.
If I think of anything else I'll link back to here or something, but yeah. just. thoughts. you can ignore me of course, but if you made this far thanks for reading!!

Listening to Missing Limbs, the chorus and the stories that were and weren’t told, calls back to The Way That You Were in a way that wraps around your heart and strangles it with that echoed desperation to know despite knowing how much it already hurts to know, because not knowing hurts even more
#eepy toking#twtyw and jaws were the only st songs that i got to on the drive but twtyw always hits a little different yknow

So...maybe I got a bit hyper focused on all the FX Sleep Token uses in their songs. Other than one that I already pointed out (Vore) having listened to a couple of other songs, I realised they do this a lot. Hope these make sense!
Part One includes: One, Two, Jaws and TWTYW (below the cut!)
Part Two -> Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb
Part Three -> Take Me Back To Eden
+ If I've missed something, feel free to add your own thoughts!
Note- some of these are FX, others are sound mixing and music bits I wanted to mention. Any song you don't see mentioned are songs that I couldn't find anything to pull out of them.
Thread The Needle
- Throughout almost the whole song (cutting off at some points during the breakdown and chorus) there is a soft humming, that sticks to one note the entire time (which I believe is a B note? Don't quote me on that lol).
- At 2:04 to 2:30, and then reappearing at 3:46 to 4:06, there are notes that mimic a calm heartbeat. Which, considering the lyrics at this point are "We can spend the night in" and "Just look and where we're lying", it creates the image of lying with a lover, with your ear pressed against their chest. It makes the song feel personal, in my eyes. It also creates quite a distraught feeling when the heavy breakdowns follow immediately after.
When the Bough Breaks
- At about 5:40, a chord starts up that sounds like a muffled bell tolling, which, considering this song can be interpreted as how love, especially the toxic kind, can bring you pass the point of no return, with a willingness to be in pain for the relationship to continue, suggests an end to it all. A bad one.
- Just gonna slip in a quick compliment to Vessel's beautiful falsetto and head voice vocals in this one!
---------
Album Notes: To me, this whole album feels sleepy. Like, as a listener, I feel like I'm in that odd inbetween of awake and asleep. It's the same in Two, but much lesser so in their later albums. The songs use very minimal instruments; basically just sticking to synths and beats other than the breakdowns. And, speaking of breakdowns, they're kind of like the wake-up call to the song. You can live in blissful peace, lay in your lover's arms as you slowly fall asleep, gift compliments back and forth to eachother, but it all ends. Everything is nothing in the face of this ancient deity. I heard someone describe the Sleep Token albums as the five stages of grief, and I can definitely see that. Definitely denial.
Calcutta
- From 0:00 to 0:20, there is a very hard to hear, high pitched clinking noise (I suggest putting on headphones if you wanna hear this one!), which almost sounds like the clinking of two glasses.
- From 5:25 to the end of the song, you can hear Vessel using his head voice! I thought it was an instrument at first, but it's just him having a lil' scream. I want to say it's a muffled whistle scream, but it's not croaky enough to be one from what I can hear, so I'll just say it's some vocalisations. What I can be sure of, is that he sounds like a Banshee and I live for it.
Nazareth
- At 2:38 to 3:10, a very simple beat comes in, along with a bunch of other muffled beats that bounce around if you have headphones on, which, having spoken to my friend, she says sounds a lot like a deeper pitched gunshot (which I said she's just pulling at strings, but I'll put it in either way) being mimicked by a drum beat. Considering the lyrics around this time, it's fitting.
---------
Album Notes: Similar with One, Two also uses the minimal amount instruments, other than the breakdowns, but they use backing vocals a bit more in this album, especially with Nazareth and certain parts of Jericho. To me, this one feels a lot more angry. Not towards a person, perhaps, but more so towards Vessel himself (which is mainly shown in the lyrics). If we're still rolling with that five stages of grief, then I can definitely see this as anger.
Jaws (Single)
- The (what I think is distorted crash cymbal or just a cymbal) noises from 0:00 to 1:45 kind of sound like when you knash your teeth together.
- Just wanted to note the absolutely lovely lyric that is "Stand under the stained glass and, I will know it's you."
Personal Notes: One of the first songs that got me into Sleep Token, so, it holds a special place in my heart. Will never not swoon at "Show me those pretty white jaws, show me where the delicate stops".
The Way That You Were (Single)
- There is (obviously) the organ the resonates throughout the entire song, which, in some chords, mimics the typical Church Wedding song (Here Comes the Bride). By association, when people thing of organs, they think of Church, and, therefore, Weddings and funerals. To me, it makes the song a whole double edged sword (especially with the lyrics being asking someone about their inner pain, how they can fix it etc.). In the end, did this end in joy, or death?
Personal Notes: By far my favourite single. Comfort song all the way. Despite it being my favourite, it will always hold a bit of an unsettling undertone for me.
Thank you for reading through all my thoughts and feelings, whoever you are. Remember, the night belongs to you; worship <3.
#Jeeze Louise this took a long time#I got to sit down for a solid hour once every week and just listen to Sleep Token so that was pretty good#tiring but good#I feel like in some of these I'm pulling at yarn but I hope they get through to you guys#you guys being whoever reads through my rambles#sleep token#st#song analysis#sometimes lyric analysis#just a lot of analysis#and thoughts and feelings#can you tell I've hyperfixated on this band yet?#sleep token vessel#vessel#one#two#jaws (song)#the way that you were#mel's rambles

Heyy, haven’t seen you on my dash lately so I just wanted to check in🫶🏻 hope you’re doing well💜
Also what’s your favourite sleep token lyric?
I’ve had TPWBYT on repeat and everytime ‘The Love You Want’ comes on and vessel sings:
‘seems like your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong’ and ‘too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday’
I’m like 👁️👄👁️ broooo…idk it like..gets me…
Anyway sending my love 🫶🏻 💜💜💜
Thank you for thinking of me. 🥹❤️
I haven't been super active but I'm ok. Anxiety is swallowing me whole but that's nothing new lol.
Those are great lyrics, our cryptid king generally has a way with words.
Hmmm. I don't know if I have THE favourite lyric but I like this part from DYWTYLM & The Way That You Were:
And my reflection just won't smile back at me like I know it should And I would turn into a stranger in an instant if I could And there is something eating me alive, I don't know what it is
And you will no longer Stand between collapsing walls Wearing a smile Like you cannot bear it anymore
Because I really relate to it and especially felt seen by the TWTYW lyrics.
Ohhh I also really like these parts from Shelter:
Darling, I'm noticing your flaws They're exactly what I want Even if you won't believe me Know it
Darling, I'm noticing my flaws And I'm matching them with yours Won't you take me where you're going This time?
Ah Vessel, the yearning sad little (very tall) man you are. 🥹
Have a great day/evening. ❤️
#btw i've heard some ppl say that shelter is a cover but online it's credited to vessel#did he cover himself???#asks#sleep token

1 | 5 | 11 | 14 for the vinyl asks!!! 🎶
Ooooh these are all excellent, thank you! ^_^
1. First LP you ever bought?
The first LP I bought was May Death Never Stop You by MCR! I swear that I also bought 3 Cheers and The Black Parade at the same time but my head insists otherwise, so compilation it is.
5. Favorite LP in your collection?
This is an impossible question omg..... I want to say it's Language (Rediscovered Edition) by The Contortionist since it's both my favorite album in general and also what I bought with my first paycheck from my current job, but the 7" for Jaws/TWTYW by Eepy Toking is reeeaaaally close.
11. Is there an “odd man out” record in your collection (it doesn’t fit in with the styles/genres of the rest of your collection)? If so, what is it?
Yep, there's a few of them but definitely the most "odd out" is my Spotify xmas classics one lol. I have a few pop albums on vinyl but nothing holiday-themed.
14. Do you have any rarities/limited edition records? If so, how many?
YEAH they're a big part of the fun of collecting to me! Whenever I have the chance to get a limited edition version of something I'm looking at buying (usually pre-orders) I'll try to do it, depending on cost and what it actually looks like/includes. For numbers, I was counting this manually so it may be a little off, but according to discogs I have 44 vinyls with the "Limited Edition" format tag.
For rarities, this has a bit of overlap with the limited editions since the rare box sets are all limited too. I'm defining "rare" as having 250 copies or less made for that pressing, or is now very difficult to find or buy, though in hindsight I should've lowered the max to 150 because given that criteria I actually have 12, which seems too high. But yep those are my children :3 i would defend them with my life
#these are so funnnnnn ty again darya!! <3#sorry this took so long! took a while to do the last one ^^''

I'm not much of an artist, but I do a good bit of analysis!
I made some big posts on SFX in Sleep Token's songs, which you can find here:
Part one (One, Two, Jaws and TWTYW)
Part two (Sundowning and TPWBYT)
Part three (Take Me Back to Eden)
I'm also planning on making a massive analysis post on Euclid soon!
Sleep Token Creators shout-out post
I had been thinking of doing this for a while, and now that the last Ritual of the year has come and passed, and the holidays/end of the year are quickly approaching, this seems like the best time to do it (also to get all the recent bad vibes away).
If you're a creator/fan artist for Sleep Token, please use this post as an opportunity to share your art! Could be a painting, a drawing, a piece of writing, a meme, an analysis post, or something else entirely - any and all fan creations are welcomed!!
Reblog this and link as little or as many of your own creations as you want - the sky is the limit! [eg: this is a cool painting of (band member) i did // i wrote about X song here ]
Share your beautiful art, and take a moment to look through all the other lovely creations as well. (you're welcome to shout-out your favourite artists, but the point here is to share your own artwork - be as shameless about it as you want!)
Take a look around, leave a nice comment, reblog it, go nuts in the tags, share it with the world! Let's get as many cool pieces linked as possible, and spread some positivity around 💙 As always, be nice and respectful! 💙
#this is such a lovely idea#thank you for starting it!#don't have much to share#but still#sleep token#st#sleep token analysis#mel's rambles
