EDIT: The problem with my friend was resolved, but I will keep this image up anyway. Letticus is rarely ever sad but sometimes when he IS the sadness hits him hard like in this image.

This is vent art, hence the lack of my usual care and cleanliness. 
Letticus, my sensitive hero, in utter despair.

Why did I draw such a depressing thing? Well, I just had a person I considered a very close and dear friend cut me off from her life--completely removed me off all contacts without warning. Instead of trying to talk things out with me she did, well, that. All my efforts to get in touch with her were ignored.
After the initial shock, I broke down in fits of sobs and drew this. Why Letticus in particular? Because this friend of mine made a character that became close friends with him. What she did to me directly affected how my character feels for her's. He feels hurt, confused and filled with questions.

I'm glad to hear you were able to work things out with your friend. I know the feeling of being cut off from a friend entirely, and to this day I've heard nothing about her.

This is such an icky subject! Happened to all of us I'm sure. But here's the thing Taralen, some people are meant to stay and some are just meant to pass by. Both create good and bad memories. It's a plus when they stay, but if they leave I call destiny. So don't feel bad... Cry all you like... Vent... But ecerything happens for a reason! SO AFTER THAT, remember what I said ok?
Big hugs! Love the art!

Oh sweetie, *hugs*. I know, it can be very hard when someone just up and cuts you off without leaving so much as an explanation. It haunts you and you want to know why. It looks like you'll never get that answer and as much as you think you need it, you don't. The reason there is no explanation is simply because you've done nothing wrong. At least that's how I have learned to see it, because if it was, they would be able to tell you. True friends work things out and come out stronger, not give up and walk away. You deserve so much better than that. We're all here for you and if you need a listening ear to vent and hear you out, you know how to reach me. *gives Let a handkerchief and hug*

It's absolutely a painful thing for something like this to happen, especially when it affects one of our characters we hold close to our hearts. On the positive side, life goes on, and you have one less person in your life who would do something like that. Take the time you need to grieve the loss, of course, vent all you need, and realize that in the end you're better for it. I might be jaded, I've had this happen before, too many times to count, honestly, but I know that I wouldn't be the same person I am today if I'd stuck with those people. Sometimes, letting go is both the hardest and the most rewarding thing you can do (or, I suppose in this case, being forced to do so). You've got a lot going on in your life right now, a "friend" who does that kind of thing isn't the kind of person you want hanging around you for the long term, anyway.

Feel better, man, you'll get through this.

I feel very sorry for you...

I don't know why I think I know what happened and if it is what I believe, I am also shocked. I do not know you or her, I've never talked to you, but I feel very identified because happened something very similar to me with one of my best friends.

This is one of those moments when I would like to hug those who feels bad, try to comfort... My excessive empathy makes me feel bad. I wish I could help, really... I hope things are resolved soon. You have my full support and encouragement. -hug-

Oh no.... I'm so sorry. *hugs*
I'm really, really sorry that this has happened. You made attempts to contact her and gave her plenty of chances to give you some sort of... well, ANYTHING. This kind of situation is really fucking terrible and I just wish there was something I could say or do to help you feel better about it. I know it hurts, and I know it's may very well make you uneasy and question future relationships.... but something that eventually sank in for me in this situation is this:

You were being the best friend you could be. You approached and gave ample opportunity for her to tell you what was troubling her, or even if there was just nothing that could really be changed. Regardless of whether she fled out of avoidance of confrontation, or guilt, or just pure lack of care, who can say? But the point is that you tried your best. If she couldn't give you something, anything besides the cold shoulder, then she is not the type of person you truly need. That doesn't make the pain and coping much easier at first, but you have to realize that you deserve better than this. No one who actually gives a shit and puts an effort into a relationship deserves to just up and left with the silent treatment. The memories will sting, you'll miss the "good times" and the ignorance, but eventually you will have to realize that you deserve so much better. Please, please know that.

Again, I am so, so sorry to hear that this has happened to you. Please draw whatever venting helps, or scream onto the blogs or notes, whatever it takes to let it out and help you heal. This is a painful situation to be in... and don't let anyone make you feel like you're taking it too hard. This betrayal of trust affects everyone differently. Know that I'm here for you if you ever want to talk, alright? I've been more active on this account than Nuciferyne but I'll try to remember to check that one too just in case. ;__; I really wish that there was more I could say or do for you.... >_<;

Morgi The Naga: *coils around, wraps her tail around Letticus, pulling him into a gentle hug, rubbing, stroking his head as he rests against her chest* There, there Letticus, don't cry, ssshhh, it'll be okay, you know I am your friend, right? If you want someone to talk to, you can talk to me anytime, we can talk about anything you'd like. *sits with Letticus, her long, scaly tail gently wrapped around the elf's lower body*

Like I said before dude it's pretty obvious she was just using you to satisfy her sick needs. I mean if that weren't the case she wouldn't have gone and done all that to you ;;

In any case sorry to hear that happened -pats Let's head-
