Description
Spend all your time waiting for that second chanceFor the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the Angels, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the Angels, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
Zim and Mala's theme!!
You may be asking yourself, "why on EARTH is GIR an angel? Did he die?!".......Yes, yes, he did die. Hoo boy, get ready for a long explanation.
In my fic, GIR contracts a bad computer virus - that's all I'm saying about that part. With many of my GIR-and-Zim-angst lovin' friends, I've done this particular RP where GIR gets deathly ill with a foreign and terminal computer virus that is basically the earth equivelant to cancer. In every RP, he pulled through in the end. Either, Zim would find the cure, fix it before it reached the fatal third stage, or simply put GIR's memories into a new SIR's body. However, both my friend and me were in a sad RP mood. We made it, that GIR did not survive the computer virus.
With continuous gentle words of comfort, Dib manages to convince Zim that "if he really loves GIR, he shouldn't let him suffer through any more days of pain." Rather than futilely try to find a cure, Zim heeds to Dib's advice and brokenly shuts the ill robot down; GIR's last words being "I....love.......you.....D.........danem", before passing away.
A broken hearted Zim is in his bed later that night, trying to find a way to fall asleep, when sudenly, two figures appear at the end of his bed: his late mother, Mala, and GIR.
After hugging the life out of GIR, Zim curls up into his Mameen's arms, like he never thought he'd do again.
(The RP is not done yet.)
(So yeah, that sums it up. Let me just say, I did NOT have fun doing this picture. I did at first, but soon it became so damn complicated. X__X I made a huge mistake in one of the layers that left me to manually color EVERYTHING, rather than use the fill tool. Not to mention that the sparkles and mist were done manually - without using special brush packages! The whole thing took 6 hours)

Dear Cryssy,
I was listening to In The Arms of The Angels the other day, and I thought of this piece. I went to youtube, looked up the song again, then came and looked at your art and really listened to the words. I read your fanfic again, too. I've read a lot of your stuff, and a ton of it has made me really think and cry. But this story, wow. It made me cry my hardest. And all the while I'm crying, I'm thinking, "This isn't true. It's a fanfic. This isn't true, it's a fanfic." But I still cried, and sobbed hard. I really don't know how to explain the feelings this piece has brought me, some of the best words to describe it though, are: Sad, Thoughtful, Sorrowful, and Tenderness. I do love this art, Cryssy. Don't get me wrong. I love how your art can bring such emotion. Thank you for it. It's okay for somethings to come off as sad, cuz with it, it helps you feel even happier than you would've been when you become happy again. Hoo boy, now I'm just rambling..... In a summary, I love your work, and I like the emotions it can bring.
Sincerely, Me

Ufuuuufffff........having trouble figuring out what to say to that. XD It's just so much to take in.
Wow, I mean, wow, thank you...so much. Yes, oh god, how I love to convey the emotions I feel in my art. "Sober" was written when I was really in a painful angst mood and going through a hardship. The pains I feel make my art come out the best.
I am sorry I made you cry.. I knew a lot of it would do that for some people. and thanks so much for the lovely comment that really had me gasping for air for a few seconds!
One of the most detailed comments I've ever gotten!

Welcome! And don't worry. Crying helps get pain out of my system. And I cry a lot. I'm a teenage girl with hormones for crying out loud! And guess what?
You very well described how I felt when I was writing the previous comment. 'It's so much to take in... Had me gasping for air....Having trouble figuring out what to say...'
<3
And I do the exact thing YOU do; I write and draw what I feel. Helps get it out, ya know? and when you get that motivation, it just has GOT to get on paper, where you can see it..
Again, THANK you for your art. It's just... wow. That's one word for it. WOW. I LOVE (like, truly LOVE) That you express so much through your art. Not every picture is worth a hundred words, or even one word, but yours is worth thousands. Thank you. A hundred times. THANK you..... Shoot!... I'm getting cheesy again... I tend to do that a lot...

He looks like a little angel waiting to do something good for someone. Zim is all about doom! Maybe angelic doom? : P Or did he finally stop being insane?
