"...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.

In all honesty I don't think

In all honesty I don't think that's going to work.
But I will add her on msn and speak to her with Raven.

Also: not trying to be rude but this is between Sighthound, 010, Shiori, myself and Selruil. It's bitter enough and no other people need to get involved.


Well this is super late .n. BUT IT WORKED.

Sighthound, when I spoke to Shiori we came to an understanding and were able to make up. She said she wouldn't mind if my characters interacted with hers, and I'm assuming the same with 010 since the only misunderstanding was a misunderstanding, but I should ask you too.

Would you still like me to keep my characters away from Herla? I'll simply add her to an untouchables list much like Selruil is doing so they won't be bothered. I could understand if you say no, since IC stuff like this wouldn't exactly be much fun after Herla's been tortured by trolls from the sounds of it. :| If not, I could simply change Gill's opinion of her (in lieu of the circumstances) to being a curiousity instead of a target, in which case he wouldn't try to chase her.. maybe sniff and leave.

Whatever you'd like is fine, just let me know so I know what to do.

Xemi: I’m not opposed to interactions. As long as they don’t lead to unrelenting harassment. Poor Herla (and me) have gotten a bit twitchy of late.

Quad: Oh was that your deer! No, I don’t mind. Darned map isn’t working today so it’s confusing, lol.

Well.. I know how annoying it

Well.. I know how annoying it is to be trolled so would it be alright then if I changed her to a curiosity? He doesn't to chase these, and won't poke or prod at them unless both sides know it's all in good fun and are playing around for example.. xD

Okay, good, haha.. ;; I just didn't want to do anything that might upset you or Herla more, since it sounds like you've been having some nasty luck with trolls lately..

Thank you ♥

It was so wonderful seeing Fikos grown up! Wonderful and a little sad too. Fawns always have to go and grow up!

Randomly reading comments |D;; /creepy lurker
In any case, would you like me to avoid Herla when I'm on Vasska, as well? I know he can be annoying ♥ (I think you have my msn, right? derpydeer at hotmail [dot] com)~

Sighthoundlady's picture

Shaku, I had things going on

Shaku, I had things going on around me in my living room, and was talking and distracted. I moved Herla away and sat her down because I couldn't focus on her at the moment. Usually we try to respond to Vasska IC and I wasn't doing a good job at it at all. Sorry her sitting was confusing. I probably shouldn't have moved her at all since I was essentially AFK.
shaku's picture

No, no! I didn't take

No, no! I didn't take anything you did (or didn't do) in-forest as a signal. I just read some comments here and thought if you wanted a break from irritating deer (Vasska is very much like a troll, aside from being IC XD;;; ), I'd bring it up so you didn't have to be frustrated in silence ♥

This is a pointless comment just to track and to say: OMG this character looks awesome xD

Thank you for letting Tamun sit with you..! :3 (He has sat with her and her friends before as a fawn)

And I'm sure you have heard this a thousand times already, but I still say it: Herla is a really, really beautiful character! <3

No, you’re fine Shaku, don’t

No, you’re fine Shaku, don’t worry about it.

GuardianGhost Thank you so much! I appreciate it. ^_^

Ruostemarras: Ninja'd! XD Tamun seems really sweet. I like his set. And thanks bunches.

Thy crown crested of


Thy crown crested of green
Herla of the Forest, doe of the wild
Proud heart, strong yet gentle
Her steps echo of a mother's caress
Is she a queen, or perhaps a goddess?
Those who fall under her spell know well
She is a master of Nature's secrets

The buck's eyes settled with

The buck's eyes settled with a heaviness on the comatose doe. This loneliness he felt without her bright and lively, it churned up burdened feelings, feelings too subtle to decipher distinctly. That flare, which had once warmed his heart, now seared it with pain. For the time being, he forgot his shyness, laying down his issues of trust and conviction. Despite the strangers that surrounded her, the white buck gingerly settled himself beside her. With a touch that rivaled that of a mother's caress, he gently touched his nose to the doe's feathers. His eyes slowly closed, a heavy sigh slowly slipping from his mouth. They were all entangled within and without; by herd, by mate and child, by friend and foe. Though most of all by cages within cages. Such self-torture is, perhaps, the darkest cage, craving playing the part of the chains, and hatred adds the fire that tortures. Karmic retribution wraps up the rest. What chances then is there for esape?

Faustt: The little black doe

Faustt:
The little black doe lay in a rumpled heap upon the mossy forest floor, a mind in and out of coherency, troubled by tortured dreams the evidence of which flickered across the features of her face. Her battered body held within it an equally if not more battered mind, a mind plagued by scenes of horror and death. Of loss. Of grief. She retreated from these, deeper and deeper. Retreated from the pain of her body and her soul. The whispers of dark magic still tugged at her, her soul lurching at its black touch, withering away from it. It seeped through her mind. She battled to escape it. Soft whimpers would escape her. Mutterings.

The touch of loved ones had reached her through the day. Their voices. She saw them as bright lights in a sea of darkness. She clung to these when she could…but always she was dragged back under again, to fight the darkness that roiled inside her. She couldn’t let it win.

One of the bright lights flared before her. And she recognized it. It touched her. Gently. Softly. Warm breath on her face. For a moment, the darkness fled. She ceased her endless battle and…rested. A sigh escaped her.


DEERTH:
Oh dear, last night was such a blur, tons of stuff was happening all evening and I missed recognizing your deer. So sorry!

AngelWings: Aww, thanks!

KestrelBlaire: Ah, the link doesn’t work for me. What is it? I’m all interested now! EDIT: Now it works! OMG, thank you!!!! That is adorable! ^_^

So glad you like it! Fikos

Laughing out loud So glad you like it!

Fikos simply adores Herla so I found it acceptable.

"So fragile... so frail... you poor thing... both you and him. Do not fret, I will make sure your wounds... your injuries... are well taken care of. Rest now dear, you must have had such a horrible experience to get in such a sorrowful state. Rest and know that I will be here to watch you both, and to help mend your wounds..."

Fikos was confused. The

Fikos was confused. The little doe wouldn't sit?
"Herla...? Is something wrong? Why won't you rest with everyone?" Fiikos didn't want to offend anyone, and was starting to worry if maybe asking Herla to follow her had been a naive request.

The little black doe looked

The little black doe looked on the younger female, a grim set to her features. “No, honey. I’m sorry. I won’t sit here,” she said, nuzzling the young doe before bounding away. She had no will to finish what she started…but mercy and forgiveness did not live in her any longer. Not for the monster.

Hello Miss Herla...lovely day today huh?

Herla looked on the strange

Herla looked on the strange kirin creature that had approached her as a buck approaches a doe. She offered him a smile, “Yes, very lovely,” she said, looking side ways at him from beneath heavy lashes.

((And unfortunately I have to run off to work now!))

The kirin gave a warm kind

The kirin gave a warm kind smile back as she settled down next to the little doe. Juniper noticed how worn and scuffed up Herla was but still looked like she was in good condition from how her feathers were fanned out.
"So...how life has been treating you? It's been a while since we crossed paths before."

((And I happened to miss my class as well. Oh well...my attendance is fine so one time ain't gonna hurt as long as I sent the instructor an email. Man I forgot to check the clock.))

Displaying luscious shapes

Displaying luscious shapes and vivid colors, odors and scents that cause the mouth to water, textures rough and smooth that titillate both tongue and teeth, they all crowd in demanding attention. The vegetation surrounding the log seemed so much more lush than most of the forest. He could picture the flames from years that past had reduced everything to a collection of bones, washed in colors of cherry pink and red, rose quartz, deep aquamarine, laundry white marble, among black charcoal and grey ash. Evidence of it was everywhere, despite being lush and full of life now. Everything had to die before such life was permitted. He snapped himself from his stupor as Herla stood beneath him, he felt foolish for ignoring her. "How are you feeling? Have you recovered well?"

I love Herla's rut diary

I love Herla's rut diary posts; they're hilarious!

Alinaquil: The black doe

Alinaquil:

The black doe welcomed the kirin’s company while she rested on the God’s Hill. Still assuming “him” a buck, based on his behavior. She wasn’t oft confused about these things anymore but still, sometimes it was not always clear. “Life is…well it continues,” a note of mirth in her voice that somehow reminded of tinkling bells. “How are you?” she asked politely.

Faustt:

The little doe had rested peacefully, this one of her favorite spots in the old forest, the foliage indeed lush, perfect for bedding down. And for providing a dense cover to remain obscured from the casual passerby. The white bucks pelt though shone in bright contrast to the many hues of green that surrounded her. She allowed his presence to sooth her, his vigilant countenance assuring that things where well. “You’re very kind. I am doing well, the rest is very helpful. Thank you for staying with me.”

Terabetha:

Thank you! It’s nice to know somebody reads this mess I call a bio. XD The rut is FUN.

I was just on Brynhried then; he doesn't know how to act around does, so he probably came off the wrong way. Chasing them generally doesn't give off the best impression, rofl.

Haha, no problem Freya.

Haha, no problem Freya. Herla was mostly amused, he certainly is a persistent buck. She’d settle down to rest and realize he had followed her AGAIN. lol
