hi guys:-)
a bit late with posting my discussion thingy about my latest submission. i said in the caption/description of the piece that it was initially just intended to be light exploration of the little balls of planetary/life energy that lullabye and goodnight are able to absorb from living things(which technically is anything in nature, but im thinking right now of other people). their purpose is to manifest the pool(of essences/souls->basically a big core of energy in the center of the planet that all 'souls' are born from and eventually return to once the body allows them to) into the physical realm. thats the basics of it and its pretty vague so can be fulfilled in any number of ways. this purpose+their general natures makes it possible for them to reabsorb/reintegrate other souls into their own under particular circumstances and if that process is completed the body dies and the 'soul' is essentially a new baby life ready to rejoin the pool and be born and experience the world all over again. while waiting to be transported there it orbits around them and into them. they have a desire to care for it the way they would desire to care for any baby creature. just kind of wanted to see an interaction between a baby soul and any character. this isnt necessarily something that ends up happening in the story or something that either of the pair chooses to do. i went with lullabye bc i then decided to use the piece to work through some feelings. the text is my writing. usually i pick song lyrics or something that i liked. i think it is clear what it is about. lullabye and goodnight go through similar things mostly near the beginning of the story. i am trying to be very careful about my portrayal of this particular subject but i will be using my own experiences+exploratory interests and sensibilities to guide me. this story is primarily for me but i hope other people will find parts of it to resonate.
this journal feels like a bit of a downer my goodness!!!! apologies LOL
im working on a drawing of a new/different character now hopefully she will be ready to post by monday. goodnight from me now!
a new journal so soon.....im finding im really liking posting one after ive submitted an artwork.
as you can see from the latest submission/upload, i finally decided on new names for those two! their old names dont feel relevant but you can see what they were on my first upload titled 'roughs'. i had thought about calling them few and far between, just because i liked the sound when i was looking at lists of pair words. however i couldnt get past the fact that those names had no significance i could attach to them in terms of the story and my own personal emotional reaction so i kept looking. no luck until listening to klaus nomi's three wishes:P i felt 'lullabye' and 'goodnight' worked nicely. lullabye is a more sexual character and goodnight is a more violent character so it seems a little funny that way to me(sleeping/lulled into relaxed state and an ending). i just need names for my other characters too....
you may also notice that i havent submitted any full pieces yet. i do have some in mind, but the basics need to be fleshed out again before i can feel ready to properly tackle those and do justice to my own ideas. i shouldnt feel the need to justify myself on that but>___< i guess i did. i just get a little bored looking at my gallery right now is all.
procrastinating hard on a stats quiz right now. ive been working it up into a huge scary thing in my head all week even though i know exactly what to expect and i know it'll be ok. ah!!!!!!!
hello again everyone:-)
i dont have anything to say about the piece i just posted. instead i wanted to say as soon as ive finished going through my likes on youtube+spotify i will share with you a music playlist for my story. which im realizing still doesnt have a name. so i should get on that eventually hahaha. i wish i could devote more of my time to this story but unfortunately(not really) i have other obligations-__-
