himari if we can meet again, just one more time, then please love me, alright? _____ click himari to read her bio, then click the circle icon for more images! scroll down past the credits for some lore :] _____ icon use ok with credit do not repost outside of scratch without permission. art by @-707 code by @-707 music (kegare no uta) is a hanyuu maigo cover by ivudot character (matcha panda) designed by @peppermint_owo, not mine drawn on medibang paint _____ tragic backstory incoming in 3.. 2.. 1 (pov you are a character in a world i'm writing that i have not developed yet) cw: character death amidst the shifting winds and the changing seasons, there are three things you will remember until your dying breath. the first is that you, like most of the world, are impermanent. through the years your bones have stretched and your soul has hardened and the childlike wonder in your eyes has dimmed. in this moment life blooms on your lips and your cheeks. in the next you will lie beneath the soil you have trod on and wait for the earth to reclaim you. your mortality is not a gift; it is a contract. the second is the affection that swells in the eyes of the white-haired tanuki god as she gazes upon you. she has lived thousands of years before you but the light in her eyes as she looks at you is fresh and innocent, like the wonder of a child who knows nothing of sin, of evil. in her eyes you are a shining star, a being made from light and all the good things in the world. she, a god, is a humble pilgrim at your shrine. the third is that her love for you will never fade. not when you leave for days on end only to return suddenly without a word. not when you know she thinks so tirelessly about you and you know her efforts and affections are wasted on someone like yourself. not when she finds you in the arms of a different lover, a god who smells like fresh air and looks at you like you are the sun to his twilight sky, and she is forced to let you go. not when she can tell you she will love no others like she loves you in all her numberless years of living, and you can only smile sorrowfully and thank her. not even after the fox with the fire in his eyes cuts you down and leaves you in her shuddering arms. not even when her tears turn to flowers that adorn your dying body and you only just realize how lucky you are to have someone like her in your ephemeral life. not even when you do not say you love her back even when your last breath leaves your body. not even when she spends centuries holding you until the grass and weeds grow over you both, holding on to what could have been. _____ hi again guys! i just wanted to thank everyone for over 1.7k omg!?!? it was only very recently that i was barely at 1.4k so to get this many followers so fast is insane!! thank you guys so much!! anyways here's an entry to 's dta! i got overexcited when i saw this character a few months ago that i IMMEDIATELY began working on an entry so this project is an amalgamation of my work over many months :D i drew 4 images! :) 1. this was actually the second to last piece i drew, despite it being the centerpiece :] i was overcoming a really bad illness when i drew this (which was like yesterday..) that attacked my hands so i made this to see if i could still draw! good news, i still can XD 2. drew this in september! as you can see my style here was in its transitionary phase so please forgive the scuffed quality :"] 3. a ref sheet! transitionary style phase again since i started drawing this around october but only recently finished it up! the tanuki was drawn in such a hurry please forgive me XD 4. a chibi i drew today! just wanted an excuse to draw her again because shes so cute :)) congrats on 1k and thank you for the opportunity to draw these pretty designs! _____
