Description
Jan 2nd 2007(I fixed up the lines a bit... I thought the blurry would look better but had second thoughts.)
EDIT
The original journal of Nez's has some serious miss-communications. She's edited it.
We spoke and are going to try and fix things. But this doesn't change the feeling or imagery in the picture, as Quetzal hasn't even seen Yasa in long over a year now (closer to a year and a half I believe). She's has become distant to all who knew her, and tends to mope about in sadness. (Easily noted by her absence from all DC rps as of late. I've described her a few times off on her own, moping.)
I've frequently pictured her sobbing to herself in the darkness over her missing husband. This picture was actually that mental imagery brought to life by recent journals.
But Nez and I will have to figure out something.. for these two can't go on like this.
~~~~~~
(Original posted message)
I know, it's a sad picture, but I feel very sad. I've kind of seen this coming for awhile. It's been ages now (at least over a year... much longer I believe) since my dear friend left the Draik Clan, and then neopets. We tried to keep rping when we could, but not being on the same sites made it difficult.
Each attempted rp fizzled and was lost.. and for the last while, although we're still friends.. I love Nez to pieces, we have drifted apart a bit.
But this also sort of messed up our rps. So she (rightfully) decided that it's time re-vamp her characters. But she's going to 'reboot' them and start over. Sort of erasing everything that happened and starting with a blank slate.
Sadly I can't take part in it, as I can't just erase years of rps from my characters. So even though it's chokingly hard but instead I'll have to put an end to the relationship that Quetzal and Yasa had.( And I've been depressed as hell over it. It's pathetic that I've wound up sheding tears over my rpg characters.)
So my Quetzal, who is both a DC and neopets based character (more DC then neo.. she doesn't even look like a neopet), will be going through a hard time.. as her Yasa is definately gone. The choice to re-start was the confirmation that thier story is over.
I wish you the best Nez! (and don't for a second think that I'm angry.. just heart-broken over what was lost.. but ready to rp it and welcome the emotional opportunity and change for my character.) And I so hope that Yasa's re-boot works out perfectly for you. Just know that Quetzal will be heart broken, and will mourn him for all of her long years... as well as the two hatchlings that I own will weep for the loss of thier Otto-san.
For those not in the know, that is thier wedding picture that Quetzal is clutching.
Quetzal (c) myself
Yasa (c)

And just to add in, this is where the title of the image comes from. I kept listening to this song as I drew the picture. I don't know if it's easy to find. The singer is a Canadian artist from the east coast (and I adore her music). But I typed out the lyrics.
You & Me
(Kim Stockwood)
Three am,
I'm wide awake again.
'Cause you're everywhere,
And I'm like your prisoner.
Don't you care?
Baby don't you care?
That every face that I see,
Every cup of coffee,
Every song just reminds me of you and me.
Every naked body,
In every late night movie,
Everything just reminds me of you and me.
You and Me.
Souvenirs,
Is all that you've left here.
Just your winter coat,
And that sweet poem that you wrote,
And the heart that you broke.
Cause every face that I see,
Every cup of coffee,
Every song just reminds me of you and me.
Every naked body,
In every late night movie,
Everything just reminds me of you and me.
You and Me.
'Cause every dream that I dream,
Every breath that I breathe,
Every time I smile I think of you and me.
Every word that I speak,
Every thought that I think,
Everything just reminds me of you and me.
Every face that I see,
Every cup of coffee,
Every song just reminds me of you and me.
Every naked body,
In every late night movie,
Everything just reminds me of you and me.
You and Me.

Oh it's so true. Many characters seem to take on a sub-life of their own, and all of their joys and sorrows become yours.

It's so odd as if you get really into character they become a part of you and their emotions are felt nearly as strongly.
I think it's why I love rping so much.

That's really true....
I used to RP a lot but I don't do it much anymore, nonetheless I still feel really close to each of my characters, its like they really are a part of me. And I can't imagine what I would do if one of my characters lost their mate like Quetzal did...I know I'd cry for sure. I'd feel just as broken about it as I would if it were a boyfriend/girlfriend of mine that I was losing. ;;

Mostly I need to try and rp with NEz somehow, as she's not on Neo or the DC any longer.
I need to try and get MSN on my sucky computer somehow. It's so old that it can't run the new MSN. -_- Nez is typically only on MSN... so we can't rp except on my husband's computer.
I'll see if Trillian will still run for me on here, and if it will still get me onto MSN.

*is seriously late on this* *snugs Quetzal* The poor girl. I know the feeling about growing relationships and poofing owners. One of my shoyrus had just admited her feelings towards her crush and they had gotten together then the owner poofs.
Later on I find out that she's frozen and isn't remaking my shoyru's crush. My shoyrus don't have an easy time, out of the six I have, only one is in an ongoing rp. And that's Phae with Marsi's Lcube. *loves on them* But really, I know how hard it is to see a relationship wither. Hopefully Quetzal will have better luck, and I do wish the best for you and Nez.

I've had many pet relationships end because someone vanished.. but rarely were they those in depth, heart-wrenchingly intense relationships. It always seemed to be the ones that didn't quite have that 'spark', that drawing feeling where you could really feel the love.
But this is one of those big relationships, and even the thought of it ending is a painful one.

That's so sad. D: Poor poor Quetzal...
The emotion is shown beautifully in this. You got her sadness across very well.
I've been sad over things that happened with my pets as well. For instance I (used to) have a lupe named Kelpie. She and another lupe she was in a rp with ended up with crushes on each other, but before things could go any further, the owner of her crush disappeared from Neo. She came back much later on, but actually abandoned Kelpie's crush (and hasn't been on for well over 200 days now). I was very saddened by that, especially since the owner was my friend as well. D:
So I can empathize (sp?).

lol, do you want a list of all my pets who lost a love due to the other person vanishing from neo? (Not that they are all single now, but they all have lost at some point.)
Wepauwet
TaRepy
GoddessIceWave
HathorLoveGoddess (not mine any longer)
King_Sarcophagus
Pharoahs_Knight (although Pink is being rped again now)
Mortuarium (although he'll never admit it)
Iron_Cant_Bite
Seraphim_Fairy
Asthertet
I believe that's it. Although it has happened that after my pets have moved on the owner of thier old love started to play again.. frequently it's too late as they already are interested in someone else by that point (probably happening with Asthertet now).
Man, that's a big list.. now that I've actually typed it out. @.@ What a bunch of pathetic pets I must have if people keep leaving them.

Your pets are NOT pathetic. XP People come and go from Neo. That's all. And some of your pets are 'doing fine' now, so there we go. ^^
I think Kelpie is probably my only lost-love pet. o_o Phi-suk and Saii are still going strong, as are Chire and Rint (they even have a daughter, and a son on the way) and 14 and Millae...and those are my only couples.

Well, see, the situation is like this...supposedly they fell in love in college, had sex, and my aunt got pregnant out of wedlock. So, in order to make up for it, my uncle marries her and has three more kids with her over 10 years. Then, about half a year ago, he starts secretly courting his old best friend's sister and lying to his wife (my aunt). Finally, after sleeping with this woman and deciding he doesn't love my aunt anymore, he tells the truth and my aunt explodes and kicks him out of the house, divorces him, and takes custody of the kids. Now, whenever I see my cousins, it's never with both parents.
And now, I used to love my uncle, but now that this has come out I hate him for the slime he truly is. Simple as that.

Oh.. you're poor poor aunt, and cousins. That is rough.
When I was 12 my father left. He was nearly 50 and ran off with a woman who was bearly 20 (and was probably not even a legal age when they started seeing each other behind my mother's back. -_-) Not only was she young, but she had a 'reputation' around town.. a VERY bad one. -_-
Things became much, much worse.. but I can see where they are coming from. and it's VERY hard to get through that. They'll need all of the support you can give them.

Yeah, life really sucks sometimes. Especially since my cousin (the child that was concieved out of wedlock) I love dearly, and I was forbidden to say anything to her about the situation to "Try and protect her". Needless to say, I told her anyways, because she would have found out the horrible truth later on anyways.

I find it helps a lot with drawing emotional images if you play suiting music to keep yourself in the mood. If you listen to a sappy song, then suddenly something that lifts your spirits comes on it can truly ruin the mood for what you're doing.
We'll find a way, but she's still very sad. It's hard as they were a very emotional, highly-rped couple.
