Re: Fri's (somewhat) Witty and (not) Alliteratively Titled Doodle Thread
And now for something completely different than the previous darkness. This is another spontaneous drawing, just because I want to draw something based on a dream again.
This is based on an old dream of mine, that I dreamed a few years ago. Something kinda cheerful and colourful, maybe uncharacteristically so?
In that dream, I flew to a faraway land beyond the cloud, where I found out a colourful land where baloons grew in trees or vines, and people were able to fly around using baloons they picked from the plants. It's a very happy and colourful place, and I enjoyed my time there, before going back home.
But the next time I went there, the land had turned into something dark and gloomy. The reason is, there's mysterious thorny vines that grew all over the place, and the vines released thorny flying seeds that permeates the air around the place. Because of that, people there couldn't fly freely again, because the thorny seeds will pop the baloons. It's obvious that there's villainy afoot!
It's all up to me to return the freedom of flying to the place.
Uncharacteristichally cheery for my dream?
Anyway, I guess I could talk about the nature of my dreams here. I don't dream faces. That's why I can dream about people who I've never met. I actually also often dream about my other online aquintainces as well.
So that's why it seems that I often dream about you, Kasanip! I hope you won't mind.

It's summertime for most people now, but I'm not in the sunny mood at all. In fact, I've been rather deeply depressed for a while for some reason. This might be the worst slump of depression I've had since my graduation. I don't know why, I can't really explain it. But it's just a combination of various factor. I don't have the mood to do anything, not even posting or watching anime or playing video games. I can't feel any happiness from doing any of those right now.
And I'm not in college or school anymore, so summer time isn't a vacation time anymore. I miss the days when summer means fun time. I miss my home, but I dunno when I can even visit it again.
Maybe this is what they call in japan as 'May Sickness'? (eventhough it's not may anymore)
I haven't posted anything for a while.
This is my latest character, Konstantin Fortunato Antonis the noble swordman (some people might know that I based the pic on an old pic of mine), and hissummoned armor, the fox-harlequin themed armor called Reynard.
I'm currently preparing for my detective game, but while preparing for it I got a great urban fantasy story idea that I really like.
It would make a great light-hearted pbp game, or even a webcomic. I realized I'd love to DM this game, but I'm not sure that I'd be able to recruit players, since even my current detective game is still recruiting and I haven't even managed to got a single character sheet.
I got the idea from reading Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer/Hoshi no Samidare again. Some people might know that it's one of my very favouirte manga. So this story would be very much inspired by Hoshi no Samidare and The World End With You/Subarashiki Kono Sekai
The story would be set in a current, modern town (maybe japanese town.) The main characters wake up realizing that they're missing one important person, maybe a brother, a sister, or a lover, but nobody else beside them even remember that the person ever exist. The main character remember that before their dissapearance, the person was involved with a strange ragtag group of misfits. And you often see the group with a mysterious person in a cartoonish bunny costume...
I imagine the story would basically urban fantasy, with psychic/magic power set in the real world, and it would be full of shenanigans...

Sigh, I don't know if I'll ever draw anything again. I'm feeling very depressed lately. But I don't want this thread to move past the expiration date yet, so I'm posting this poem I made years ago, yet perfectly fit my current situation.

What is saudade, you asked me?
just that longing reminiscence
that bitter feeling
for those sweeter times
that had gone by, elapsed, ended
spent
as past hope, past promise
past love
Dear Fri,
Spoiler
I want to tell across any distance, that Fri always helped me when I was depressed and sad.
Thank you for being a good friend.
I want to show my support for you, too!
I want to cheer for you!
Even when very dark,
there are always stars shining in the sky.
Please smile again soon.
I want to see Fri's drawings, too.
