Description *DimLeeLit : Ragdoll, do your stitches give you great pain? if so do you long to be whole?

---

"Great pain? Yes. Certainly. I think...
it has been a constant for so long, in some way I have gotten used to it--no, not used to it, I doubt I ever could... resigned? Accepting? Something to that effect.
But it isn't the fault of the stitching, the stitching is nothing compared to the wounds themselves. It feels as if... that's all I am, just wounds, even pieces. Like I was made to be like this, in some twisted way....
*raises right arm, begins to tug at protruding sinews, the initial hardened and leathery flesh being quickly pulled away from the surface to reveal fresh red beneath* I cannot heal, yet I have the means to keep mending myself time and again. Fortunate, since I feel flesh straining against each suture however I move... always to break or unravel.
*short, sharp laugh, begins to weave the sanguine strands between her fingers*
But that is no purpose, certainly. I know I wasn't always like this, not at all... I used to be... *falls silent, evidently deep in thought*

...It's damn difficult to sew properly without being able to see what you're doing, you know. I miss that.

Would I like to be whole...?
...I... would, of course. My eyes back, my... *she releases the sinews from her grasp, allowing them to hang loosely from the wound in her arm*
...Do you mean just physically, though?

I suppose it doesn't matter, either way. Nothing is left whole, mind, body, we are just pieces left to scatter in the wind. Screa--*chuckles weakly, shakes head*
...

Oh, I'm sorry! You had a question for me, didn't you?"

---
Aaand, a long rambling answer from Ol' Raggy, due to my ask journal . Yeah, she likes when people are around to listen, and... has some difficulty preventing herself from being tangential.
I know I said I'd get Cyra's answers up first, but... Ragdoll! I felt like drawing her. Sorry.
Cyra's answers will be way more pointed and, well, answer-like. Actually, the whole format of these things will vary by character and situation.

...P.S. I know her tail looks effed. Just, uhm... ignore that...
anyway~

O_O I love her more now.
What a dark creature.
She reminds me of my friend Carol, who talks a lot, but sounds deep and intelligent. xDD

I tried to comment on this yesterday, I do believe but for some reason deviantART would not let me.

Anyway, I must say that I love how Ragdoll answered this question. It really let us into her mind if
only for a few minutes before she forgot we were there and had to ask once more if we had a
question for her. This really did help me understand more of this poor child and what she
truly goes through in life. As for the image, I don't think her tail is really all that effed up.
But that's just me I can't wait to see more, and I'm still working on that note of
questions. I'm just a bit slow lately.

Ugh, dA was such a mess of affairs yesterday. B\

I'm glad you like it! I really love letting her ramble, honestly. Neither her or Curri are too good at talking about themselves. c'x
I'm really glad it provided a bit more of a window into her mind, too. That's one thing I'd love to accomplish with these answers. Thank you so much. c:

I'm looking forward to reading your questions, but don't worry about rushing. You have a heck of a lot on your plate right now.

Firamodor In reply to drawitout [2012-07-16 23:59:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes it was. B\

I love it! Hey it's sometimes the best way to get out everything.
I have noticed that, but it just proves that they are well balanced child
in a sense. cx I believe you honestly have, and I'm glad to have learned more
of her from this. You are very welcome. c:

Thank you for understanding, and I won't rush.

Her hair takes the longest of any of my characters, haha. I suppose that can only keep getting better though, can't it? n_b

Haha, practice makes perfect. I love drawing hair, but I get lazy on it sometimes.

drawitout In reply to Ixi-Nox [2012-07-17 00:45:12 +0000 UTC]

Very true. I look forward to being able to figure out how to streamline the process a bit more. cx
I love drawing hair, too. But I usually leave it for another day if I start to feel lazy or bored with it, because it seems a waste to work on it when I feel my heart isn't in it. c:

Ixi-Nox In reply to drawitout [2012-07-18 02:23:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha, every time I have trouble drawing something, I always just think that someday I'll be good at it, and then I won't have any trouble. x)
True! Hair is just something I have to be in the mood for, because I just autopilot through it if my heart isn't into it, and I have a lot of fun drawing it when I'm actually looking forward to it.

man Ragdoll you accually made my heart break a little for you, thank you very much for taking the time to share with this me, you answer my question very elequently.


to artist: wow that was the best answer an such a amazing drawing that accompanied it
it did rather make me choke up a bit, the way you worded it drew me in.
it was rather neat that the pain came to be almost part of her and her world, thanks for taking the time to write this out, Now when I see her , there is more than just a beautiful creature to keep in mind

Ragdoll: Hmm? did I? *opens and shuts mouth slowly, a confused frown just barely evident on her warped features*
Right... any time. *brushes tail against ground behind herself, turning properly once she was satisfied the path behind her was relatively clear*
Time; all I have. *chuckles, gingerly walks off*


I'm glad the response was interesting to you. Thank you very much again for taking the time to ask a question. ♥
