Description Some days life really has it out for you. The last three days have been among them. Several major life catastrophes all worked together to rear their heads at once, so for the last forty eight hours I have been scrambling like a mad man. That and the Unspeakable Horror came to visit late into the night. So, it has been a little rough of late.

Anyways, Back now. And its back to work for those of you who I owe commissions to. I just had to draw this and get it out of my system.

Yours,

C.S.

As i tell others, In the many lives that we all live, school, work, the internet, or just out with friends, They each have a differ part of us. It's hard when two life's you have are clashing, so you must choose which to put your hole life into.

If only I could choose. If I choose art, I choose the little death, slow but assured. And to choose the heart is to face an equally horrible death, this one by artistically starving as Idea after idea gathers dust and slowly withers to nothing.

I have tried to choose, but I can not. D:

Cluster grenades? Or small land mine strapped to chest? Trying to keep the horror at bay using small anti-personnel weapons?

Aye, all that and more and yet still it comes. Cluster Grenades, Anti personnel mines, reinforced concrete walls, razor wire. All these are but ill jests to the Horror. It has passed, for now, but it remains unresolved and resolute.

On a smaller brighter note, I have finished sketching your commission and will finish inking it tonight and tomorrow. In addition I shall also be able to lend time to the RPs we have going and respond to them.

Thanks for doing the commissions but no hurry. I'm still recovering from binge-watching HTTYD seasons 4 and 5 on Netflix last Friday.

LOL. No. It's How To Train Your Dragon tv series where they are shipping Hiccup and Astrid as 'Hicstrid'. In season 5, they have the start of their serious relationship.

Uh oh... That never ends well. If the series follows any standard movie series trends, shortly after declaring and accepting their affection to one another the female always dies a horrible and pointless death.

This happens in Stat trek, battle star galactica, star gate, fire fly, ext.

This is a series which takes place between HTTYD 1 and HTTYD 2. They will not kill her off as she a major OC. They did kill Hiccup's dad in the second movie but not after finding his mom.

Yup, the second a character fulfills their quest they are killed off. That is why this romance must never happen. @:

Well Astrid hasn't fulfilled her quest yet. She and Hiccup still have to marry. Besides, if they killed her off, the fandom would be up in arms and the franchise would sink. In the second movie of HTTYD, Hiccup's dragon, Toothless is controlled by the King of Dragons who is in turn controlled by the villain, Drago. When he has Toothless turn on Hiccup by using his Bewilderbeast, Hiccup's father protects him and ends up dying. The sad part is that Hiccup and Stoick have finally reunited with Valka, Stoick's wife and Hiccup's mother, after more than twenty years of separation. She was initially thought to have been killed when the dragons raided their village but she actually had run away with the dragons to protect them from Stoick's hatred, leaving Hiccup behind as a baby. It's a great movie and I wanted it to win in the Oscars but Disney's 'Frozen' beat it.

Sheesh, darn frozen. Sure it was original, but that film has a lot of explaining to do. A lot.

Astrid and hiccup, let us hope they never get married - as I would put a paycheck down that within the next five minutes of the film Astrid will die somehow. Probably pointlessly as to drive the plot machine onwards.

Have I been watching yo many cinnimasins? Maybe.

'I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.' - Dune.

Aye, there are days, some are easy, others trying. The greatest challenge is that they sneak up on you and strike without warning.

I have some very bad coping mechanisms: work, work to the point of exhaustion. Then there is Art, funny true situation - I started posting regularly here as a primary coping mechanism. And kastly, there is always drink, the key is never drink to solve your problems, instead drunk to take the edge off them so you Can solve them.

Would you like to talk about it,C.S. ?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Code-Shark In reply to JackAxeWell [2017-09-12 02:19:18 +0000 UTC]

I suspect talking would help to a degree. So, for warned. Be careful what you ask, for I may just answer.

For the last two weeks I have been stretched a little thin financially, due to my own miscalculation on how much I could pay into my student loans. I have nearly defeated them, bringing them down now to $1,400. Alas, I did not realize that I had several bills coming due all at once, and that the automated CC I had set up for my insurance hand somehow faltered.

As, such three days ago I find I have no car insurance, and due to the nature of my job I am required to display proper clearances to get to work. So, more fees for a temporary pass, ext, ext. Fuel. Pushed a strained, but workable, financial situation into the grim realm. Now, add onto that I discover that a long running CC I have had a standing balance, and I only find out via email (Which I seldom check) that I have past due fees. Credit rating suffered, but not as bad as it could be. But that CC is not in cancellation at worst or Penalty mode at best.

Then - I have been pulling down twelve hours shifts at work due in order to save to initiate a move that new apartment. Unfortunately due to Unspeakables that dwell up in management a bunch of us have had our hours of OT 'Reworked' In short issues. And, so this feeds into the problem of saving to move to a new location, as I live, kid you not 63 miles from work by driving, then I take a light rail to a tram, that then takes me to work. Total time in transit, just under two hours. One way. Then I repeat that process to get back home. This leaves me pretty exhausted. Β 

Now, On top of all that I have two commissions that I should have had done tonight, but failed to complete due to handling much of the above listed chaos. That and trying to keep up with DA and all the RPs and the stress of trying to find time to work on several other projects that must be done.

All this pales in comparison to the Unspeakable Horror that came to visit last me last night. I do not care to speak of it, save that its coming saps all home and leaves disrepair in its wake, and ultimately prompted the creation of this piece. It passed though, and I live. But that problem is not even close to coming to a resolution.



Fweew. I hope that is not to much to bare. As even I sometimes forget that I am only human and am so to suffer from limitations.

They happen to all of us at one point or another. For example, for the last three days I have been averaging about 3-4hours of sleep each night. Today I got a solid 8 and it felt amazing.

Well as the saying goes, eight is great, four is functional, two is Terrible. And after two, just don't even bother, just stay up.

Faith? Yes, very well she is quiet motherly, something very admirable about her.
