When I was a child I believed everything was possible. Sadly, I was met with adults who told me I should grow up and be responsible. They said fairy tales aren't sensible.
For a time I listened to that, thinking their worldview was reliable. When they told me my dreams and ambitions were unattainable. But then, I grew up and came to my own senses...how some adults are abominable.
Adults…many of them see in children what they’ve allowed to die inside of themselves. I know now they are very much ashamed of themselves. For that reason, they’d rather no child grows up to be happier or nobler than themselves.
I’m sure it must be envy.
I’m now a grownup, too. But unlike them, I haven’t died; not really, no. Even better, now that I’m older, I’m going to see all my dreams and ambitions come true.
And one day, when I have a child of my own, I’ll teach them to fight for their own fairy tale.
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.

Happy new year. I am delighted to welcome 2023 with a round number of 1000 followers on tumblr. I returned to the platform at the end of last year and have been truly enjoying it ever since. Hoping to stay very active over here in the coming 12 months. Thank you so much for every single like, reblog and follow. Means a lot to me

Person A is a commoner locked in a tower. Who has no hope they will ever be rescued because they don't have the land, money, or status to be worth rescuing.
Person B is one of the few truly good knights who applies the code of chivalry to more than just the nobility.

So. I spent more than a week on drawing this. I am really proud of being able to draw this. It's kinda sad that tumblr works like... it doesn't work. And nobody would see it without reblogs. and i will not understand again, why i am such a bad artist and what i did wrong again.
I like the feeling of a fairy tale i was trying to depict.
i am sorry
