207. Get a Like, Heart, Agree, Insightful, or LOL on a 5 year old post, basically forcing you to resurrect a thread so old it's gone from thread necromancy to forarchaeology.

Re: Esei Can Draw!
I re-did the Moon tarot card, with @Nocht as the very shadowy centerpiece. It's not my best but I hope y'all like it regardless.

It's *jazzhands* Dom! A faeling, Esei's most recent protege, and a semi-new Nocht order person.

Re: You Are Not Alone - PLEASE READ
For those of you who don't know, I play both Aeral and Sylvanas, which is why you'll see me post on both accounts (depending on who I'm primarily playing at the time.)Sylvanas said:Just lost someone else in my life to suicide. We weren't super close, but I'm dealing a bit with the aftermath that their loved ones still here are facing.
If you're facing tough things, get help. Call someone. Text someone. There is never anything you can't come back from. It's never too late. Please. I had to call a crisis line a few weeks ago. There's no shame in it.
Furthermore, I'm kind of living proof that things improve. A few months of DBT and my life has changed so much. I never thought it'd happen.
If I can help anyone in any way please let me know.
I have the urge to delete this previous post, because unfortunately I've reverted back. But I guess I'm also here to say that with the weird world we are in right now, it's okay to feel awful, and feel all of the things, or none at all. People who don't have mental health issues are struggling right now with this COVID-19 world. Be kind, gentle and loving with yourself.
A note about my experience with mental health and COVID-19. Trigger warning (mention of suicide).
Personally, I've tried to kill myself twice during the quarantine. Each time I was stopped by thoughts of my dog, but each time I was on the cusp and realistically, I could have accidentally died. Although in recent years I have certainly had intense thoughts, I haven't had a true attempt since 2013. I haven't wanted to talk about this much, as it was actually quite traumatic for me, but it's now been a couple of months.
I returned to Lusternia since quarantine began and have been trying to readjust to two worlds that have changed a lot. Unfortunately, due to lack of control in my life, it means that I can be irritable, combative, and downright unpleasant. I won't say that I've fully reverted back to where I was years ago, but I have a lot of work to do in order to be well again. This means taking major steps back when needed. Logging out, disengaging, and treating it like a game, as it's meant to be. I encourage you to do the same when things get too much.

Re: Announce Post #3046: Seal of Harmony 2020
I was told I'd be fully disqualified from the Beauty Seal running, but I'm still pretty proud of my first tattoo. And since it is woefully hidden away in a cartel rather than in the public listing, I can't help but give it a little spotlight. Here's hoping to many more gorgeous, dragon-themed designs yet to be seen!
Item: Tattoo Type: Back Org: Npt Designer: Jolanthe
Commodities: blacktint 45 silvertint 45 redtint 5 bluetint 5 garnet 1 sapphire 1 opal 1 powerstone 1
Mortal Reviews: Allowed
Tattoo Weight: 100
Appearance:
draconic antipodes
Examined:
Chaotic swirls of black and silver coalesce within the centre of this
tattoo, where a sense of violence pervades the intensity of the lines
that radiate and spiral away. As they fan outwards, the forms of saurian
limbs and serpentine torsos take shape amidst the muddied hues. Vivid
garnet claws swipe towards a brilliant opalescent flank, barely
appearing to miss as blurred sienna grazes past argent scales in a
frozen frame of motion. The image continues to grow more crisp and clear
along the periphery, erupting into two distinct draconic forms in
visible pursuit. The lower dragon is near black, accented with a
sanguine red that ripples along the reflections of her scales, while the
rising dragon arching over her is a steely silver streaked with
sapphirine accents. Each draconic visage is strikingly detailed and
rendered: the dark dragon possessing a stern snarl and an intense
gravity in her eyes, while the bright dragon exudes derisive laughter
and playful condescension through his open jaws. Faint glints of light
eddy through the inks via meticulously applied powerstone dust,
promoting a sense of perpetual motion as the two remain locked in an
endless hunt animated by winks of glimmering garnet and sparkling sapphire.

Re: General Dissatisfaction
I'm finally able to leave the house a bit more and see friends, and I feel like I'm missing three months this year. They just vanished. My brain is like... why is it now summer? It was just winter! Anyway, hugs!Aeldra said:Fourth month of more or less isolation thanks to covid ( and being risk group ) is slowly getting to me. I miss people. phone calls and internet voice chats just can't replace this. I do count myself lucky, because my job actually has picked up in business even more, but sitting at home all time (because allergies + covid = not really meeting people at all). I can't wait for allergies to be done so I can actually safely hang out with people again

Re: General Dissatisfaction
Had an accident and sprained my ankle and knee. I can barely walk, and live alone now that the kids have moved out. So now I'm stuck here, unable to go anywhere, with no way to get needed supplies. Hurts like heck too. My entire leg and ankle are so swelled that the skin looks like it's going to burst.
