THE BEAR 3.05 'Children' GREY'S ANATOMY 3.12 'Six Days (part 2)'

I need to scream into the void for a bit. Just get some thoughts and feelings off my chest.

I really fucking miss tumblr, making ofmd fanart, even to some extent following the drama (that's a lie, the drama stressed me the fuck out).

It gave me such a wonderful escape when I was at a place in my life where I really needed it. I've thought a lot about coming back but one big thing that stops me every time is that I lost my biggest supporter last year. Mom got diagnosed with, and died from cancer. All in the span of nine months or so. She was the first person I showed my fanart to every time. She was always so amazed and excited and couldn't wait for me to post it on here. She would send me messages to tell me to check my reblogs and look at the wonderful and funny tags people left me. She would text me before i woke up to tell me how many notes I had got over night.

She's the one that got me into fandom in general when I was 12 or 13 (back then it was the x-files).

I hope some day I feel like I have the time and energy to start making fanart again. Because it gave me so much joy and gave me the inspiration to draw again. I think I'm just afraid that the "bitter" would outway the "sweet" now that she's not here to see it.

(Oh and yeah I watched season 2, but looking back, I was in complete survival mode and I got almost nothing out of watching it. So that sucks. She also watched it but got too sick before she got to watch the season finale. So she never knew that Izzy died, and I don't know if I'm glad or sad that she didn't see it.)

Hi everyone! I have a Thursday surprise! I just uploaded chapter 8 of Ashes Of Eden, my wartime AU! We’re almost 30k words in which is INSANE to me. I never thought I would be able to write like this and I’m still so inspired. We’re getting so close to some really intense scenes and I am so excited to write them. I would appreciate if you guys would check it out and if you do I am eternally grateful. Thank you 💚

Have the serial killer boys ever thought about the fact that lots of kids might be sad that their parents got killed? Even though their parents suck, I imagine it would take a toll on the kid mentally, especially if they think their parents love them and that the abuse is normal.

Oh definitely. They keep this in mind always. Both know that losing a parent by any means can be traumatic for a child.

They understand this, but they both fully believe that in the end it will be better for the child or children to have the Rulebreaking parent out of the picture. A loss, but a necessary one.

To try and combat this, they keep in touch with the family and offer to help however they can.

Chapter 2 - Anger

trigger warnings - loss of a parent, child neglect, mentions of alcohol abuse

sky gets even more whumping (im not done yet) meanings of flowers: aster - (greek: asteros - star) well, you know, spark, star, also popular flowers to give after someone experiences loss of their child. symbolize how affecting it is for kids to lose their parents deadly nightshade(belladonna) - most poisonous flower in the world (at least according to my research), can symbolize fear, and that's what its meant to symbolize here

I would tear down the stars to bring you back

Hey there,

My father died on Valentine's Day (yesterday) and I'm struggling to meet cremation costs. I made a Go Fund Me, and if you can spread it around or even donate, it would mean so much to me. I know tumblr's not a great place to fundraise, but I'm covering all my social media bases.

Thank you so much.

Realtalk (and part of an explanation for the long disappearances), my parents both died in the span of 14 months and it's been hell picking up the pieces, let alone being an artist

I just put my mom to bed. In her own bed. I'm going to have to set alarms every three hours to check on her. But I'll get some sleep. She is improving.

I have such big feelings right now. I haven't slept really in a couple of day...not since I walked into my mom's room on Saturday and thought she had died. I couldn't rouse her. I think she may pass sooner than I ever would have thought.

It's so much. And I can't even do this like grieving a person I'm actively losing in slow motion, n peace. I know it's not realistic but I need the world to be quite for a moment so I can get my bearings.

So I hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love that I didn’t get to tell her.

day 12 without my dad, I’ve decided i’m going to write a list of some of the new things i really hate:

I hate riding in the car

I hate those split second moments when i go to show him something or call him or look for him before i remember that he’s gone

I hate seeing my mom so broken

I hate talking about him in the past tense

I hate nighttime

I hate the question “how are you doing?”

I hate Teslas

I hate the passage of time

I hate funeral arrangements

I hate not knowing where he is

I hate how long it takes to get a death certificate

I hate Intensive care units

I hate the guilt i feel when i have happy moments

I hate that lump in your throat tightness in your chest feeling

I hate that he’ll never get to turn 50

I hate that to him i’ll always be 18

I hate that i wasn’t awake when he left that morning

I hate the “5 stages of grief”

I hate the thought of birthdays and holidays without him

I hate how he’s everywhere in every corner of my life but also nowhere

I hate the half drank can of fizzy water on his desk that he’ll never finish

I hate that this happened to him of all people

I was 16 years old when you left this cold, cruel world.

But I remember it like yesterday.

Walking into that room meant it would be the last time I saw you breathe,

The last time I felt your warm body,

The last time I had any hope.

16 years was not long enough,

yet 16 years feels like a life time.

Now it has been 16 years since you left this still cold, and cruel world.

But somehow I've managed to live on.

Wandering through life without direction from you,

Without guidance,

Without your love.

My memories of you are fading.

I can't remember your scent,

Or how it felt to hug you.

I can't remember your voice,

Or your laugh,

Or even the last things we said to each other.

Life is too short.

Death is too long.

16 years.

I miss you, mama.

It’s been 5 years today since I lost my dad

It’s Father’s Day, second one since I lost my dad. I’m not sure how to spend these days. I want to remember my dad on these days, but it’s so painful so I don’t want to spend the whole day in it. This time I drew some memories with him. I feel very numb now.

dad passed a year ago today and mum and I were able to spread some of his ashes in Greece this afternoon.
