Dead friends

So tired but I can't sleep, I wish I could know that your heart still beat. Your absence is violent, your soul is silent. There's people who mourn, while tears pour, and we all just wish we had one more day. A day to tell you your beautiful, incredible, with a soul that will forever stay, Close to our hearts and embedded in our way, because without you the sky isn't as marvellous when night turns to day. You impacted hundreds with a heart so dear, forever gone but somehow always still near.

Miss you both more then words can describe

One of my old Okami fanart done to mimic traditional calligraphic water color :) I wanna try doing more work in that style soon, but right now I’m busy working on the new Fisheye Placebo Chapter. I’ll be showing some sneak-peaks soon!

Pop culture dogs! Been suuper busy with life things these last few months - was great to get some time to work on a big multi-character picture again! Was a whole lot of fun deciding what dogs to include. How many do you recognise? :D

Everyday I feel my mind start to slip, my hands grow weak and I lose my grip, I know your there watching me trip. Trip up on my communication, slip up on my grind while I rip up all my time. Time used for distracting my mangled mind from its destructive way, so maybe just maybe one day I'll decide to stay

Was It A Sign?

Well, maybe. Maybe not. Here are some little things that may help you figure out if it was really a grand message or not! The more of these you have, the more likely it is.

🦉It’s unusual. Let’s say you saw a deer. Sweet! That’s cool, but if you live in a wooded area and deer are really common, it’s really not that profound. It could be a message, or it could just be a deer.

🦉You asked for a sign. If you asked the universe or a certain deity for a sign, perhaps this is the follow through! For this type of thing, it’s usually good to ask for something specific enough that you couldn’t expect it every day, but not so much that it’s impossible. (My go to is a rose or a purple feather.) That way, you know that X thing is your sign without worrying too hard about it!

🦉It felt… different. Maybe the event isn’t terribly wild on its own, but it just really hit you, or the feeling was incredibly profound. Especially after doing research, and seeing how many things are symbols, your brain will make connections really quickly. That means sometimes we make something out of nothing. A strong emotional response is a good sign of a sign.

🦉It immediately felt like a sign. Let’s say you see a rainbow, and it’s really pretty. You enjoy it for a few minutes then go back inside. Later, you think, “Hm, that could have been a sign.” Maybe. But it also could be your brain going hey, I know things associated with rainbows! (In my opinion, this is the most important one. I feel like if you have to wonder if it was a sign, it wasn’t a sign. You might not know what it’s a sign of, but you will know it’s a sign. That’s just my UPG, though.)

🦉Any post-research lines up. If you get a neat vision and run the details through Google, you may find details that line up with certain lore. Maybe you knew this before, maybe not. If you didn’t, and connections keep happening with surprising accuracy, it’s a pretty good indicator!

🦉Think of why you want it to be a sign, if you do. There’s a big narrative that everybody involved in magic, Paganism, etc. is constantly having these profound religious experiences. This simply isn’t true. There’s no shame in wanting a story to share, or to feel special, or to “fit in” by getting signs from the universe. Sometimes we want signs for the sake of receiving signs, so if you’re trying to manufacture them by pulling on every little thing, you’re distracting yourself from enjoying the world exactly how it is. Don’t worry about signs and enjoy yourself. Animals and rainbows and all that are still pretty great even if every little thing doesn’t have a personal meaning.

A year ago you took your life. Now I'm broken and can't believe the life I'm allowed to live. I know it's selfish but I can't help it's the way it is
