“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.”
— Emmi Itäranta. Kuunpäivän kirjeet
“Mom cried. Dad left the room. Vivian sat in the corner and listened quietly. Our cat Minni jumped on the bed and curled up on my legs and purred, for through purring the sick are healed.”

Hello guys! I have 5 slots of square portraits open! They are due late July to early August, would super super appreciate all reblogs!
hello!
please get a commission on my ko-fi here- you can order a sa guest, no account is needed! payment is taken through PayPal! please note I do not draw portraits of real people!

hello-
another update as of July 15, 9 am in the morning (philippine time, 12 hours ahead of america) my laptop is officially toast. I am in desperate need of another to buy a new laptop that can handle paint tool Sai and csp, I'm already 5 days late for work. I'm flabbergasted, I have no idea what to do. I opened 7 more slots of commissions, but please please only take the slot if you don't mind waiting. I am guessing I can deliver them by mid August, but im humbly asking for folk who won't mind giving me a grace period of two weeks after mid August. Full disclosure I absolutely can not do rush commissions- I am clinically ocd and I take a lot of care drawing for people; Sorry this post is a bit frantic, I genuinely feel hopeless rn, and I truly just want to get back to work as soon as i possibly can. I appreciate every donation, commission, reblog or a kind words. Thank you for reading this far.
addressing a mutual by name for the first time is so scary like what if they think im creepy for it what if the name in their bio isn’t even their name and it’s just some random name they put there and everyone knows that but me what if they hate me personally what if i check 5 times but still spell it wrong
Which path should he choose?
The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?
he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose
Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?
Under the tree, or under the old fort?
By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves
A lovely choice!
Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?
Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting
Sounds fun!
Which shell should he pick up?
This one
That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.
Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?
He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!
The crab wants to give a gift in return.
Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?
the gift of friendship :)
Friendship acquired!
Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?
The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)
So many options!
Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?
Seasar salad
Nothing beats getting it straight from the source
Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?
What about that sword in the first panel?
The circle is complete.
Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.
Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
