"...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.

Hi there, I am just

Hi there,

I am just dropping by to say that I am still around. Now that I finally have time to play my computer crashed. The current replacement can only cope with the previous version, so I don't dare to try to log in with Kaikias, I am afraid I will loose the skull. This might be a good moment to flood your page with questions though Eye

To get involved into roleplaying, what would be the best and most convenient way to do it. I don't want to interrupt or get in the way of planned stories. So I am unsure what would be a good place/ way to start. Thanks in advance.

Greetings very cool deer!

Greetings Smiling very cool deer! Today lay near to you, about a crying stone. Can remember me? A mask-crying a deer. Small horns-candles, and a skin-skeleton Smiling
Pleasantly with you to deal:D

Brocanna, sorry to hear of

Brocanna, sorry to hear of your computer problems, I don’t think you have to worry about loosing your skull mask just because you are playing the older version, you will just not be able to see the generation 3 pictos.

However I would be very excited to see you get involved in RPing here, Kaikias has always been so well played by you in forest and his diary updates where always very elucidating. There are many ways to get involved in RPing. Some here have plots going on but I wouldn’t let yourself get too worried about it. Most people seem to welcome RP on their character bios. Some people make interaction blogs with a specific scenario in mind then invite RP on there. A lot of people use MSN for in-forest RPing, though admittedly that took me some time to get used to myself. I find in forest events to be the main way I'm inspired to RP. So there are lots of options. I’d love to RP with you whatever you decide to do! Feel free to post here on Herla’s bio or contact me on MSN, I don’t bite!

Edit: Ya-Lera! Hello! You have a very cute deer. Thank you for sitting with Herla. ^_^

Hooran: Thanks for the track ^_^

A note on behavior: Given

A note on behavior:
Given Herla’s current condition there will be changes to her behavior as a result. She has always been social and polite, going out of her way to treat sick and injured deer, even when it was not always the safest thing for her This will all be curbed to some extent, and she may at times appear rude or indifferent, but all of her actions are with a thought to the safety of her unborn child, and that will take priority above all else for the time being. She will be far more wary of unknown deer, especially large deer/predators, even ones she may have been tolerant of in the past. She will also not be as receptive to fawns as she once was, less likely to take on a motherly role with every fawn that crosses her path like she used to be as she focuses on her own. She will avoid dangerous circumstances, leaving rather than having the possibility of an attack if she feels threatened or unsure of her surroundings.


(Adding this to help avoid confusion or misunderstandings. If you have questions or concerns, as usual feel free to contact me about them.)

Finally I retrieved a hotmail account. Did send you an invitation to add you as a friend (astorace ). I absolutely don't know anymore how this stuff worked ... but I will try Laughing out loud

It was great getting to chat

It was great getting to chat with you on MSN, and you are right much easier to sort out complicated matters that way. Kaikias reaction to Illrose was hilarious. Poor guy, all sorts of confusion for him that day.

I absolutely adore this


I absolutely adore this character! <3

LOL I can already see how Herla calms Gehirn down during the birth.

"Honey you are doing well."

While she does all the work. x]
Sighthoundlady's picture

Yup, she’ll be doing her

Yup, she’ll be doing her Lamaze breathing, cool as a cucumber, then, between breaths, telling Gehirn to sit down before he faints. XD

I can't believe I just

I can't believe I just figured out who you are! I feel so stupid, because I see you in the forest all the time! x_x
Anyway, I love your character and your art is simply stunning.

Thank you RikkaChan, that's

Thank you RikkaChan, that's very kind. Smiling

I just love reading about

I just love reading about your adventures in the Forest. If you could write a book about this, I bet a lot would pay money to buy it!
Sighthoundlady's picture

Dang, I should be charging

Dang, I should be charging admission for people to read about the misadventures of my little fantasy RP doe. XD. Nice thought but I don’t think people want to buy this drivel that I write! Lol, thanks though! <3

I feel like a total stranger jumping into the conversation, but I wanted to say hi, I'm a fan of your art. *blush*

Hello, you remember me? I was a rabbit ran with you why you have banished me?
I would like in a family? Certainly with me still my fallow deer the girlfriend?

Echosong: Thank you and

Echosong: Thank you and thank you for the track ^_^

Wolf1296: I do remember you! Herla is a character though and not a representation of me. She doesn’t like being crowded by strangers right now. I’m having a difficult time understanding the rest of your message. Herla is not adopting anyone right now though if that’s what you mean.

I do hope you have fun on the game.

A very interesting read

A very interesting read today! I can't wait to read more.

I will definitely be tracking

I will definitely be tracking this~<3

Oh! And as for the little "nightfall pelt fawn" you encountered, that is mostly likely my Willis. I was scampering by and recognized a face I'd seen before. My first instincts were that it was Herla, so I flipped over to my Internet to find Herla's markings. I flipped back (being correct), and saw that I hadn't made Gehirn too happy with my appearance, so I decided it was high-time to leave. I apologize for disrupting anything and bothering you two. He'll be more careful if it happens again~
Sighthoundlady's picture

RikkaChan: Nice to know my

RikkaChan: Nice to know my drivels have a reader. Thank you! ^_^

Proudwolf: Yup, I remember you! Your character’s predatory appearance did indeed displease Gehirn and worry Herla as well. All in character of course. You didn’t bother us though!

My wise- but slightly grumpy-

My wise- but slightly grumpy- old stag heard rumors of your deer and was curious to introduce himself more than once, but he doesn't know how to approach her. Was hoping to visit and maybe sit down to have a chat. ^^;
Sighthoundlady's picture

Herla is pretty skittish

Herla is pretty skittish these day meeting new deer in forest, especially large deer, so it may be difficult for him to approach her and not have her run away. Or meet a protective Gehirn if he is about. So if you approach in forest, be prepared to deal with that.

It might be easier to display intent with an interaction on the bio? Or the Stones blog if you like?

What ever you’d like. ^^

You mean like RPing on here?

You mean like RPing on here?

Sure! You can if you like.

Sure! You can if you like. ^^
RikkaChan's picture

Yeah, that makes sense! It's

Yeah, that makes sense! It's easier to build a friendship (would be awesome if ol'Kunya could be friends with her) on here then trying introduce him in game. xD
-
His hooves dragged painfully against the earth, his back and legs paining him after playing with young fawns. Kunya mutters curses under his breath as his pants become wheezes.
"This bloody old body is so useless! I used to be such a runner in my younger days.." He sighed heavily.

As he continues to wander sluggishly- looking for a sunny spot to take a nap in- Kunya spots a pretty little doe resting in a bed of purple flowers. Kunya mutters something about being able to woo females back when he was a teenager. Chuckling to himself, he noticed a small sunny circle conveniently shining not too far from the doe.

Kunya huffed and decided not to take the risk of her thinking he was some kind of perverted stag; instead, he settled by a tree and leaned his tired body against it.

"Ahh, now that's more like it!" He grunted as he plops onto the soft grass. Kunya decided this would be the best time to catch up with this mediation and eagerly closed his eyes- setting his mind blank of negativity.

Would I be able to start up

Would I be able to start up an RP with you, using my Nash? <33
I'm not sure if you have seen, but I made one on Gehirn's blog..and if you would prefer to jump in there, you could. Or, if you'd prefer, I could make a different one here. I don't care..I just feel really bad for letting time get away from me and letting Nash fade away from Gehirn and Herla. ;___;
Sighthoundlady's picture

RikkaChan: Herla lulled in

RikkaChan:
Herla lulled in the flower patch, letting the heady scent of the hyacinths and lavender pillow her in calm. She heard the approach of another though. Plodding movements. The scuffling foot falls of a large deer that didn’t quite pick up his hooves as deftly as he could. An aged stag but a stag none the less. Her eyes opened and trained upon the other as he eased himself down next to a nearby tree and she tensed as she evaluated him further. Large antlers. Muttering to himself. Perhaps he’d not seen her?

She contemplated a moment. Remain silent? Hope he didn’t notice here. Perhaps, get up quietly and secret away stealthily? She let out a gentle breath, [= #056edc] “Good day, sir, “ [/] she said finally, falling back on good manners. He had moved slowly. She wasn’t as quick as she normally was, but she thought she could out run him if he tried anything.


Dinamo: I saw that RP on Gehirn’s bio and did think if would be a good chance to interact with Nash too…but my work week has been brutal so I never got back to it! But I’ll try to join in there, so we can keep it simpler. ^^
RikkaChan's picture

Kunya's eyes slowly opened,

Kunya's eyes slowly opened, but are still hazed over from meditation. Was that a female voice he heard? He was about to assume that it was his annoying 'gift' from the Creator showing him the future disasters again.

Then he saw the doe he spotted while finding a place to rest before; she had moved from a sleeping position and is now sitting up. He was about to say something before noticing how tense the female was, she seemed fearful of him.

"Oh, come now. I am but a poor, old stag. What harm can I do to you?" He chuckled then cleared his throat, "My apologies, I did not know this was your spot of land. His voice still rough from the exercise earlier.


Sighthoundlady's picture

Herla tried to look less

Herla tried to look less afraid. It wasn’t polite. But she still did not let her guard down. That would have been unwise. She had learned to be wary for a reason, so she continued to observe the unknown stag, though unobtrusively from the side of her vision of through the veil of her thick lashes.

“None I should hope,” , She answered, inclining her head graciously, “Can’t own land, really,” she added, “But I do favor this spot,” she shifted in the bed of flowers. She liked a lot more cushion beneath her these day.
RikkaChan's picture

"Aye, that you are correct,"

"Aye, that you are correct," Kunya shifts his legs underneath him and attempts to stand up but ends up groaning out in discomfort, "Blast this good-for-nothing body..." He sighs and gives up trying to stand- lowering his head to sniff at a small purple flower that just began to bloom.

"Nature is a curious thing, is it not? The grumpy look on the stag's face gentled as he studies the young flower, "How lovely you are, little one. Grow proud and strong."

If you're too busy to RP, I

If you're too busy to RP, I understand. Smiling

Damn, too bad Dinamo and

Damn, too bad Dinamo and Herla don't really know each other, haha.. :'c
She could be of help with having a child with the near same size proportions.
Sighthoundlady's picture

RikkaChan: Sorry, I suck.

RikkaChan: Sorry, I suck. Maybe we can try again some other time. I lost muse.

Dinamo: Aww, well they can still have a talk some time. Herla just really needs to hear about things turning out right it seems. She’s very hypersensitive about it at the moment!

Of course, haha! I understand

Of course, haha! I understand completely, that's exactly how Dina was. ;w;
We could oh-so-innocently have them bump into each other some time? Idk.
Sighthoundlady's picture

That would be fine Dinamo.

That would be fine Dinamo. Smiling
RikkaChan's picture

It's okay, I understand. ^^;

It's okay, I understand. ^^; I guess I'm a bit jealous of those you allow to approach.. Your deer seems so interesting in character; I'm bloody curious. XD
