"...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.

Looks like I’m behind on

Looks like I’m behind on answering comments here!

Mis: That was spooky, the game takes a life of it’s own, Ghost-Herla sleeping in forest when I was no where around. Ah mostly the wonders of cruddy internet. XD

Miwawa: Ah, no problem. Herla has always loved fawns though lately she has been a little more aloof for them as she prepares to give birth to her own babies.

Kyriang: She sounds like a very sweet fawn!

Big Bunny: Oh Big Bunny will be a good place to stash mini fawns too, they can easily hid in his fluff.

Xemi: Oh lawl, that’s what I get trying to make coherent updates when I’m falling over asleep. Poor Flail. >.<

I just read the Relationships with Gehrin and Herla, and I thought it was so romantic! I'm a real sucker for romantic things, so I just had to comment on it. Sorry! xD

Desi saw Herla in the Forest today, with Gehirn, I think.
She wasn't sure if she would be welcomed if she approached though, so she's staying back a bit.

I've always admired the small doe from afar, but since Zach's seen her so often now I'll need to keep an even closer eye on her. ^_^

Shadou was watching over from afar for a bit, but he got fed up with the rowdy crowd nearby and left. I don't think I'll be able to make it to the actual birth tomorrow, but Shadou might come around later to at least take a peek and see if everything's alright. From afar, of course. Very beautiful design for her, I might add.

The doe lingered only long

The doe lingered only long enough to be certain the gathering had come together for joy rather than sorrow; once the dozing fawns had come into view, a silent bow of welcome and congratulations was all she found necessary before making her departure and leaving poor Ciel to fret over one less passer-by.

[We just wanted to say hello :3]

Thank you all for the well

Thank you all for the well wishes and congratulations, it’s very nice. I appreciate it. It was a big effort to pull everything together in time but it all turned out well, everyone involved did fantastic.

It was a large crowd but overall it seemed most were well behaved.

Herla and Gehirn will continue to be protective and vigilant about strangers near the babies, whether they be stags, does or fawns, so thanks all for understanding.

OrinocoFlow, you r little fawn is so very cute, I feel bad that Herla continues to be grumpy towards her but she is just not willing to let any strangers near her young currently.

Shadouu: ah thank you! And yes the crowds were huge but things have settled down now it seems finally.

Linorra: You are very kind, thank you!
TmA, Gehirn belongs to the Moon? Well I think Herla would disagree, she firmly believes he belongs to her. XD

RikkaChan Thanks! She’s taken to it like a fish to water.

Phaios: Yesterday was such a blur to both me and Herla, I wish we could have personallt greeted everyone who showed up but it just a whirlwind, please know we appreciated every face there though.

Moon_blaggy: I think I remember your deer there! Ah and thank you for the offer of babysitting, Herla’s very protective though and will likely only allow close friends/family to babysit for now.

Lidochka Thank you!

Corell: Thanks! ^^

Natille: Thank you so much for the congratulations, I’m sorry Domino couldn’t be there also! We did find that announcement on the Russian forums, and the day was a blur but I still saw some of that community present yesterday..

SzmeAnti: Thank you! And yeah, Firios did not get to come too close, Herla and Gehirn and the rest of their family are far to protective for that.

In reality she probably looks

In reality she probably looks something like this, stomping her foot and snorting in an attempt to bluff and intimidate. She has no actual ability to inflict harm but she can distract and keep them away from her children, try to lure them away. She would try to divert an attack or a charge her way so her babies wouldn’t be harmed.

Sorry to bother you on your spa day, I was the mini-fawn! >.<" Was following the raven. The birdie wouldn't let me be until I followed. Have no clue why but now I shall take it as an opportunity to say hello and belated blessings on the fawns. (~tracking~)

Moon_blaggy, Ya-Lera, Lidochka, Aimina, and natille.koks thank you all so much for the warm welcome there, I wouldn’t have gone there except there are some people who are not in this community that I want to talk to there , I do feel bad posting there since I don’t speak Russian! You all are very tolerant thank you.

Frejya: basically yes, Sorrel was scaring little Johan by spelling him and jumping around too close to him, he didn’t know her well enough for that so Herla asked Sorrel to please back away.

My Cecilia almost went into

My Cecilia almost went into shock when she went back to the mushroom circle to find your family all over the place. She's not claiming it as her territory, heck she's a fawn, but welcome to the shroomy circle. I'm so used to just seeing you guys sitting in the flowers. Sorry for cluttering up your bio page!

Lidochka: Thank you! I don’t want to be a pest though.

wingeddeer: Ah no it’s never too late, thank you!

Glitterskull: Sorry we frightened Cecilia. Today the twins are a week old so it was family outing day, their first real tour about the forest. The logs by the mushroom circle made for a good jungle gym for them.
