"...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.

Happy birthday, Herla!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 8D
Happy birthday, dear Herla
Happy birthday and hopefully
A late happy birthday for the
I was wondering if it was
Jinxyness: Of course not! We
Of course not! We saw some butts poking from the idol. Thought it was kinda hilarious XD I don't understand why you think they'd be THAT violent towards your doe.
I couldn't tell if I was
I'm sorry, I tend to take the warnings on bios a little too seriously. I didn't think it would be that extreme, but I didn't want to interrupt the little family outing to the Crying Idol. Looking back on what I said, I made Herla and Gehirn sound a little mean.
How do you think Autumn would be treated? (Again I'm sorry, my post made it seem like they were a bit harsh. :'D) I don't know if it makes a difference but she is closer to a Mouse deer-size on the spectrum.
Oh I think we saw you both!
Ah I thought it could be those. I think those are more about people who run up with violent speed and demand them being nice. But even then I do kind of think things have calmed down a lot, well for Gehirn at least. He doesn't seem too worried anymore, and he doesn't really chase anyone off unless they show violent behaivor/have a violent past towards him.
I don't think she would, but I can't always speak ahead of a situation? I find it very difficult when people ask me "how will your character react?" Since it really depends on a lot of circumstances. His mood, the situation, if they have been harassed before, if the forest is tense, the way they're approached, yeah. I could go on XD But I think in general if the other deer is respectful of space and situation, things go easier. Not looking like a threat always works wonders too, of course.
Misako said it pretty well
That being said, Herla is definitely easing up a bit on the restrictions of the twins, willing to allow more interactions with fawns and non-threatening deer. Still if things seem too hectic or the crowd is too large, she will pull them away when she gets too anxious or worried they might get hurt. Being respectful of space and not crowding is always a good start though.
Fort Steil has glitters and
Oh yeah, well Fort Gerla has
Its old and has wrinkles.
♥
Wow, Jinxyness, I totally
Awww! That drawing of Herla
That lovely new picture....
Mis: They are always cute!
Global Beauty: Thanks!
That was a funny glitch then.
I was wondering where the fawns and Gehirn were at the time, but didn't think about that. :'D Looking back on it, it doesn't make much sense as to why she whould be there. I haven't really seen her many places other than the glade and the Crying Idol, excluding the time we were laying around by the Twin Gods statues when you popped in to get her pelt.
(also my late reply is late but I blame exams)

^ I laughed. 8D
Oh god... Herla has a gun?
Silent he moved, well-placed
A small, taut smile lay on his scarred lips. He parted them to speak only when he had reached the stream, as close to her as he thought necessary.
"She knows medicine?"
(Did Bright come over to
The doe had been lulling in the sun near the stream, allowing herself to enjoy the sound of the flowing water and the warmth on her back, in a rare brief moment with no children about to look after, the twins safely with their father for now. It isn’t long though before she hears soft foot steps, and notices the large bird-like creature she knew as Bright approaching. She stiffened in reaction, he’d always unnerved her a bit, his appearance unsettling to her as well as being so large. She’d never gotten to know him well enough to get over this initial wariness. He spoke to her.
“Yes, I do. I’m a medicine doe,” she answered readily enough, getting to her feet, glancing around herself nervously before her eyes returned the creature’s scarred face. She rarely refused those who asked of her help directly.
(also, I'm making dinner so forgive me if I'm slow to respond.)
[No worries~ I had planned to
She stood and he sank down into repose, high shoulders working as he situated himself. Wings remained extended at either side, their feathers now flush to the thin grass, rustling softly until he became still. Neck drawn high, he turned his head to the side, fixing her with quite the blank expression. Medicine doe.
"She can fix deerthings." It was a statement, he knew what she did. But he preferred referring to the occupation this way; less invented, less strange on his tongue. The tip of the black muscle curled between his lips, wetting them before he continued, slightly louder than before. To be hear over the water, nothing more. "Looking for a plant. Good for bruise, pain. To make heal." Shaking his hair from his face, he lowered his head back to a more acceptable level to eye her intently.
(Ah, okay, I see him now
The little doe stood on her side of the bank, eyeing the avian creature closely. Those seeking her help usually did so politely but there had been a few instances of enforced assistance in which she’d been forced to comply under duress. She was wary now in circumstances in which she did not know the petitioner well and this warred with her natural desire to help those that came in need of her special skills. Her ears fell back and she sighed when the creature asked for a plant that could heal. “The body fixes itself, I humbly assist in this, plants and medicines used in the right manner and the right circumstance can help in this return to balance,” she amended. It was often a great frustration to her, when those meaning well would ask for a treatment….for a diagnosis that had not yet been made. Or rather what they perceived to be the problem often wasn’t the problem at all….and using the wrong treatment could be dangerous, “An injury then? Could you be more descriptive? What happened? Is it possible for me to examine the patient in question?” She wasn’t being obstinate but above all else she didn’t wish to cause harm.
[Ahh, I see, I see. I saw her
He listened to her rush of speech and question without moving the slightest, the fires in his eyes flickering, twitching as he thought. It was some time before he had gathered what he assumed was a suitable answer. But first...he took his time, shoulders rolling, body stretching out along the bank. Wide wings were finally drawn up to his sides lazily, as he internally perfected his prepared language. "Has been 'examined'. By perfectly capable sweetone." Eyes drifting from her, the slightest frown touched his ashen face. "Ar...nica...what she said...For the bruise. Not need to see this 'patient'. Only to provide plant." Perhaps it could have been taken as rude. Yet his voice was even and slow, and when he turned his gaze back to her, there was only mild curiosity in it. Would she help?
Herla frowned. She didn’t
A plant was requested. One she could provide. Nodding to the avian creature she replied “I have Arnica, I will retrieve some for you from my apothecary, and bring it back here to you,” she stated, making it clear the creature did not need to accompany her.
She bowed and departed, heading across the forest to The Glade, her family home, where her hearth and pantry lived as well. From the base of the hallowed out tree where she stored her medicinal supplies she retrieved a bundle of dried Arnica plant and returned with this to the shore of the river, pausing momentarily before crossing to the other side with a single elegant bound. The plant she deposited before the creature.
“This is the Arnica…it’s poisonous if consumed, should be made into a balm and applied to bruises.” her conscience would not allow her to simply impart the plant without at least giving caution. She bowed again and bounded back to the other side of the stream, “I wish your friend well.”
[Hmhm... as it's midnight

Simple is good! The CSS is

A young doe with the golden
When Herla saw golden doe and looked at her warily, Rachel shuddered and stepped back a little, then bowed, as if apologizing for the actions committed earlier. Rachel whispered "I never want anything bad..." and then drew back showing that she is not dangerous, but she felt the tension, slowly went into the forest to her brother, in her memory slowly scrolls past days and months...
tickingclock: thanks for the
Moon_blaggy:
(Aww, poor Rachel! I do have to admit, we did not see her today though? I might have been away from my screen at the time.)
Both the twins had grown so much in the 5 weeks since they had been born, and as they grew larger, Herla had become more tolerant of friendly strangers about them. Still though, when she saw the golden pelted doe, her proverbial hackles rose. In her mind, Rachel had tried to steal Johan and so she was always on guard when she came near. That Johan had always exhibited fear when the golden doe came near him, made Herla all the more protective. “ Good, I don’t want anything bad either,” she answered coolly, her expression hard. The other doe was larger, Herla’s feathers lifted in a subconscious attempt to make herself bigger and more intimidating. “I’m glad we understand each other.”
i think Rachel just was too
A golden-brown doe approached
Sodesi was...with child.
She remembered her mate as she walked, his steadiness and calm strength. They had met many months ago, and she had been enthralled in his spell ever since.
The doe realized what had happened quite recently, and was shocked and amazed. She decided to visit Herla, after all she had attended the birth of Herla's twins, Johan and Leto. Such beautiful children.
She was scared and quite nervous as she journeyed closer. Nothing the doe has experienced would have prepared her for this moment.
This was the beginning.

I hope you don't mind this, and shhh it's a secret. ^_^
(Oh wow, Sodesi is pregnant?
(I wasn't sure where Herla
So, yes, I would appreciate a response from Herla.)
{e} Actually, thinking about it, I'm taking things way too fast. I should be building relationships with other characters instead of trying to rush it. I'm sorry for cluttering up your bio with this, and I'd love to rp with you sometime, but not yet on this topic. ♥ Thanks anyway, though.
No problem Jinxyness, and I
Thanks. ^_^ Misako designed
I've just decided that I shouldn't be so impatient and that I should let things happen naturally because it is much more enjoyable that way. I think I've made the right choice. (:
Hello!) Domino came closer. "
Domino came closer. " Can I make you a company? How are you doing? How are your twins? " He sat down beside Herla.
(I’m so sorry I missed this,
The little black doe was very welcoming of Domino and indicated with her glance that he could sit, “It’s very nice to see you Domino, and I am very well thank you. The twins too, they are growing like weeds, they’ve already grown taller than me,” she said with a laugh, “How are you?”
i should probably track this
