"...thoughts here...."


November 12th, 2015


Yes, I guess I can say I'm gone now. It's been 4 months and I've looked at this site maybe twice. I have absolutely no desire to go into forest anymore. Herla and my other characters are alive and well, though they don't live here anymore. I'm as happy with them now as I've ever been and feel much more satisfied with my creations since removing them from this place. I used to think that would be hard or impossible and if I left, I'd lose them. I laugh now at that, the best way out is through as they say, and then you wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place.

Health challenges continue, and part of that is minimized computer time since it aggravates my conditions to sit and type and look at screens. After a decade dedicated to digital art, I pretty much exclusively do traditional art now. Loving my Copic markers. It has really helped me to find alternative creative outlets like the Ball Jointed Doll Hobby. Starting to sculpt and sew too.

Please don't leave messages here, I'll be unlikely to see them. If you wish to contact me use the email below.

Please do not ask for any of my pictos.

"Will it makes the pain stops

"Will it makes the pain stops and goes away?" He let out softly before lifting his head up again, straining this time to keep it up... she seemed very nice so he was at the very least grateful for the company, even if it wasn't likely to last... maybe she'd allow him around when his mama and papa weren't around? It was a hope, but one he wouldn't cling onto... "Wants the pain to stops... no wants to hurt anymore..." He let out softly leaning his head against the tree "You needs me to stands? I can tries if you do... if I stay against the tree..."

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

Ramsus looked at Herla

Ramsus looked at Herla warily. He supposed that it was her duty as a medicine doe to treat dangerous looking creatures sometimes. Even himself at one point. But still. “If you insist..” Ramsus looked at the other creature hard. Did they not even notice him? He scowled.

You better stay down.” There was a hint of a threat in his deep voice.

“No, no, that’s fine, don’t

“No, no, that’s fine, don’t get up,” she said hurriedly when the big creature looked like he was going to rise. She didn’t mind Ramsus standing pretty close, leering down at the unknown male, hoping the monster would listen to the other monster’s command. “This will help you to sleep and heal faster,” she told the battered creature, stepping forward very cautiously to place a few packets of wrapped leaves that contained crushed willow bark, poppy seed oil, and herbs close to him but not too close. He might have to stretch a ways to reach it. “I hope you feel better soon,” she said softly with real sincerity before turning to Ramsus, “Help me rouse Johan?” she asked, poking at the sleeping youth with one foot. It was clear she intended to take her son and leave now.

can i join for a little

can i join for a little practice? i won't have her do much and won't interfere. i haven't had the chance to roleplay here yet.

Aww, sorry,

Aww, sorry, StardustWaterfall, the above RP is essentially concluded so not really anything to join at this point. I do welcome RP here, though I find it much easier to be motivated to respond when it’s based on in-forest events, something to base the interaction around.

Herla is so gorgeous. Can't

Herla is so gorgeous. Can't wait to see her baby!

Xixi: Oh? I don’t mind IC behavior, it’s all fine, I don’t take it personally. Herla was ticked, not me. Haha! But did we misinterpret his actions though?

Ok that's good then! No u

Ok that's good then! No u don't think so xD he wasn't attacking her or the other doe though. They accidentally got caught in the cross fire. XD

XD Oh god sorry about it

XD Oh god sorry about it seeming like Toxic was staring... xD I so didn't mean for that to come off like that, he didn't really notice Herla until she moved behind the tree. He was more interested in staring at the water of the stream... XD Oh god Herla probably thinks he's a creeper LOL

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

I'm sorry but I have to

I'm sorry but I have to post....normally I wouldn't under the circumstances but I found something I think you might not be aware of and if you are then I apologize and you can ignore this.

I was looking up references for some RP scenes coming up that I want to attempt to illustrate and I came across a site that wasn't TEF related that had a Herla picture in it. I'm not sure if you were involved in it or if you gave permission but I wanted to bring it to your attention if it was used without permission....

It's between a quarter and a third of the way down the page.

I hope Cremello will get a chance to meet Herla sometime soon, I think she'd would enjoy it. She needs to come out of the birch forest and socialize.

Graveyard: Late reply is

Graveyard: Late reply is late. Er, yeah didn’t help he had Nightmare’s picto either, unnerved Herla pretty good! XD

CalidaAmeerah: I think I hurt myself trying to read that page. I didn’t give my permission for my art to be used there, don’t know how much I really care though. Doesn’t appear they are trying to sell anything here as far as I can tell. Or trying to pretend to be me. Which are usually the two things that tick me off with improper art usage. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out though, I’ll keep an eye on it.

Aimery: Sure, Herla’s up for interaction, always hard for me to say how she’ll react until the circumstance occurs though. I saw your picture of Cremello, it’s very pretty.

Lol...I wonder if you'll ever get tired of being so ooc and ridiculous...

And why do you say

And why do you say that?

Actually? Nevermind, I don't care. This isn't between us.
alcinda's picture

Oh I'm sure you know. You get

Oh I'm sure you know. You get upset about IC events and bring it OOC all the time. I've heard enough about it.

A better question is, why would you say Herla's update is OOC? Herla, who is reacting negatively towards Sonne because she seduced her married son, is not IC enough for you?

You made this public, so prepare for unwanted responses.
Shiori's picture

Maybe you should hear both

Maybe you should hear both sides of the story before choosing to take one. Otherwise I can't think very highly of you. It's a very immature course of action =/

It shouldn't have been IC unless Ciel ran to mommy and told him. I guess I didn't think that was in character but maybe I was wrong. I can't put anything past this family XD

(No subject)




alcinda's picture

Why would I need to hear both

Why would I need to hear both sides if the same exact thing happened to me? And I'm immature? Haha, right. Get off your high horse.

It most certainly was IC. If you ever cared to read Herla's updates consistently (or Ciel's), it was written that Ciel talked to Herla about it. And he had every good reason to.

Or maybe you should just send her an email if you don't want other people to butt in. :"D

Sure, NikaGika, though I have to admit, I find it much easier to RP when it's based on in-forest events/interactions.

I'd love to RP in forest, but

I'd love to RP in forest, but sadly I don't have Internet at home to do so (I use my phone to come on here).
Sighthoundlady's picture

Yes, definitely

Yes, definitely understandable NikaGika, bio RPing is nice when you don't have time to sit in one place for a long time too. So if you have something you'd like to throw at us, feel free.

I'd like to use my humanoid

I'd like to use my humanoid alien character, Nika, if you don't mind interacting with humanoids. There is a reason why she doesn't change in the forest, but that can be told later. At the moment, I do not have a current ref of her (the wapiti Nika is just her in deer form; I just made her into a deer, but I just changed the story for her deer version), but her face and hair are the same in her "human" form.

And I'm sorry I haven't gotten your trade done, I will get that done as soon as possible. Smiling
Sighthoundlady's picture

Hmm, well truthfully Nika, I

Hmm, well truthfully Nika, I don’t see that interaction going very well at all. Herla is pregnant and sick, expecting her to tolerate a humanoid alien is probably a bit much, she’ll likely just run away to be honest. It’d likely just be very awkward. And very short. Sorry. Do have a more…animal based character you could use?

I do, I have a stag and a

I do, I have a stag and a fawn. The stag is quite mean though (not good for pregnant ladies lol), but maybe the fawn? I have no ref of her yet, but her name is Kloyn, and she looks like a little clown. She's a newborn, and is very timid and fearful. But, once she's comfortable with someone she opens up. Smiling
Sighthoundlady's picture

You could use the stag but

You could use the stag but it’d be a short interaction as well. Herla would run away. XD

The fawn sounds like your best bet. Eye

Nika's rather calm and gentle

Nika's rather calm and gentle (Herla might scare her since she's a talking deer lol), but the fawn will be alright. She'd probably be frightened of Herla, flowers, grass, butterflies, etc... xD!
Sighthoundlady's picture

Yup, totally up to you. And

Yup, totally up to you. And didn’t mean to sound you COULDN’T use your stag, it just might not be a “positive” interaction. But that’s okay too. Whichever you’d like to do. ^^

I guess we can try the stag

I guess we can try the stag (he is a TEF deer, but was raised by humans and Nazis, so he has manners and etiquette, he probably be polite to Herla if she is to him). He's been in a forest a while now, and he kind of keeps to himself since he's so humanized. He still refuses to take off his clothes because he finds it indecent. Maybe Herla can loosen him up a bit more? xD! He wouldn't be charging at her (he has no antlers anyway), and if she finds out she's pregnant he'd try to be more calm (Nazi's did promote motherhood).
Sighthoundlady's picture

Oh um, well again I have to

Oh um, well again I have to be honest with you, I probably personally don’t have much interest in interacting with a nazi based character. I think that’s far too sensitive a topic to deal with here and I’d rather not get involved in that. There are people here who find it pretty offensive in fact and I don’t blame them.

Seems like your fawn would be more suitable after all.

That's alright (and just to

That's alright (and just to lay this one the table I am not a neo-nazi, racist, etc...He is just a historical based character). Smiling

So, the fawn it is! Laughing out loud She needs more development anyway! Smiling
Sighthoundlady's picture

That's fine, some topics are

That's fine, some topics are just too sensitive to be dealt with here though, and not everyone wants to deal with them. Yeah, fawn sounds fine.

I understand. Maybe I'll

I understand. Smiling Maybe I'll make them into in-game (none of them are except my OOC), and maybe Kloyn can interact with Herla sometimes. Smiling

You may start if you'd like. Smiling
Sighthoundlady's picture

Nika, you asked me to RP with

Nika, you asked me to RP with you, I wouldn’t have a clue where to begin, the onus of a starting posts is generally on the requester’s shoulders. Eye

OOC: I'm sorry, I always

OOC: I'm sorry, I always allow the other first since it is their blog I'm asking in.

Little Kloyn woke up slowly. The bright sun temporarily blinded her, but she regained her vision and looked before her. It was another day for her to explore or be frightened. She slowly stretched her long legs, and shakily stood up. She didn't explore too much of the forest, too fearful of the creatures that roamed this place.

Her mouth was parched, and decided to go to the pond for a drink. She slowly made her way there, and stopped at the water's edge. She took a few drinks, then felt something nip at her nose. She jumped back, and saw it was a colorful koi. Her knees knocked, and she lie down on the ground and covered her eyes. "I'll never drink water again!" she exclaimed.

A feathered doe rested under

A feathered doe rested under a willow tree, legs folded beneath her catching a bit of rest where she could. She was needing a lot of rests these days. When a small fawn walked forward on shaky legs down to the water though, she lifted her head and followed it’s uncertain travel. She tensed a bit as it walked out into the water, looking around to see if the fawn had any parents keeping an eye out for it. None where apparent. The pond could be a dangerous place, her eyes narrowed in concern. Drowning and predators, where only a couple risks. When the child startled and fell back shouting, Herla jumped to her feet, fearing a crocodile perhaps, or that vile reptile that had tried to eat Isiel and Ramsus.

But there was nothing as far as she could see.

”Are you alright?” she asked, stepping forward to lower her head to the fawn’s. It seemed uninjured to her. ”This is not good water to drink anyways, the river water is far cleaner and safer,” she said gently, “I’m Herla, what’s your name?”
