hi! your blog is one of my favourites and i absolutely adore reading your thoughts. my grandfather recently passed away and it feels like i lost myself with him. how do i continue living after this? there is this constant weight on my chest and it feels like an emptiness has made a home inside of me. how do i go on when it feels like the world crashed on my shoulders?

hello, love! this is so very sweet and kind of you, and i hope you're treating yourself gently and kindly right now - there aren't words for a loss like this. that heaviness is difficult, and hard, and painful. it's okay if things don't feel okay, right now, or even soon - i think that's something that a lot of the people i know that have gone through similar grief feel: like they should be able to get back to a relative 'normal' in a [insert far too short period of time].

but it's okay if it hurts. that's where i'd like to start. you're allowed to feel that emptiness, that world-crashed feeling that goes beyond words, beyond time. don't feel like you have to rush this to feel some sort of better. things get easier with time, i promise you this, but sometimes painful feelings are important to feel, too. cry, scream, feel your emotions. they're a part of you. grieve.

it's perhaps a little silly, but when i think about death i always think about a couple of space songs: mainly drops of jupiter by train and saturn by sleeping at last. there are perhaps others that speak to the emotions better, but these two have always hit something a little deeper for me, and are popular for a wide-reaching reason.

and while personally i don't know much about grief like this, i do know a lot about love; and i think they're a lot of the same thing.

the people we love are a part of us, and this is why it takes from us so deeply when we lose them, because it does feel like we've lost a part of ourselves in the wake of it. but it's because they were so central to our experiences of living - our lives, that the separation introduces a hollowness - a place where they used to be. a home that now goes unlived in.

an emptiness, like you said.

but just because they're not here physically, doesn't mean he's not still there, in your heart, in your life, your memory. you can hold him close in smaller ways, as well: steal a sweater, or cologne/scent for something a little more physical and long lasting for remembering. hold onto the memories you cherish, the things that made you laugh, the ease of slow mornings and gentle nights. write them all down, slide a few photographs in there, go through it and add more when you miss him. keep them all close, keep them in your heart.

you're not alone, in this. he's still there, with you, it's just - in the little things.

he's with you in the way you see and go about your daily life, in doing what he liked to do, in the ways he interacted with the world that you shared with him. the memories you recall fondly when the night is late or the moment is right and something calls it into you like a melody, an old bell, laughter you'd recognize anywhere.

but i think, perhaps most importantly above all others - talk about him. with your family, your friends, his friends, strangers; stories are how we keep the people we love alive. the connections they've made, the legacies and experiences they've left behind, and so, so many stories.

how lucky, we are - to love so much it takes a piece of us when they go. grief is the other side of the coin, but it does not mean our love goes away. it lives in you. it lives in everyone who knew him, in the smallest pieces of our lives.

the people we love never really leave us, like this: they're in how we cook and the way we fold our newspapers, our laundry, in the radio stations we tune in to and the way we decorate our walls, our photo albums. they're in the way we store our mail, organize our closets, the scribbled notes in the indexes of our books. the meals we love and the drinks we mix, the way we spend time with one another. they've been passed down for generations, for longer than history - and we are all the luckier for it.

think about what you shared with him, and do it intentionally. bring him into your life, like this, again. whether it's crosswords or poetry or sports or anything else. if one doesn't help, try another. something might click.

i hope things feel a little easier for you, as they tend to do only with time. i hope you find joy in your grief, even if it is small and hard to grasp at first. know that your hurt stems from so much love that there isn't a place to put it properly, and that it is something so meaningful and hurting poets and storytellers have been struggling to put it into words and sounds that feel like the fit right for eons, and that it is also just simply yours. sometimes things don't have to make sense. sometimes they just are - unable to be put into words or neat little sentiments, as unfair and tragic as they come.

but i promise it will not feel like this forever. your love is real. and perhaps, on where to begin on from here - i think it's less on finding where to begin and just beginning. and you've already started. you've taken the most important and crucial step: the first one. wherever you go, after that, from here? you'll figure it out. you always have, and you always do. it'll come, as things always do. love leads us, as does light - and you're never alone in your hurt. in your grief, your missing something dear to you. i think if you talk about it with others, you'll find they have ways of helping you cope as well - and they have so much love of their own to spare, too.

as an aside, here is the song (northern star by dom fera) i was listening to when i wrote this, for no other reason more than it makes me think of connections, and love, and how we hold onto the people we love and how they change us, wonderfully and intrinsically. it's a little more joyous than the others i've mentioned, and plays like a story, and it made me think of what is at the core of this, love and stories and i am here with you, and maybe it'll bring you some joy, if you'd like it. wishing you all my love and ease 💛

#q&a. #birdsong. #wishing u gentle ease; the death of a loved one is near inexplicable to put into words and i hope you take care of yourself gently <3 #i hope this will make u laugh: when i was a tiny child in middle school there were times i would go outside in my tiny suburban cul de sac- #in the rain and sing along to my lil ipod nano and i only remember doing this to drops of jupiter. can you imagine going out to get the mai #after a long day of work and you just hear this kid singing train in the streets. in the RAIN.... it makes me laugh like i really. #i really thought i was so cool and deep and emotional ghjkd but i find it v funny that i only remember it w/ that one train track. #and saturn just. it's my fav s.a.l. song for a reason. that slow violin opening? the piano coming in gentle and easy? #it feels like light. like hope. like something new - a dawn after the long dark. that beautiful things can begin again even where #it hurts. and there is nothing more human than a sentiment like that. #how rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. what it is to be alive and get to be here and live with other people. with those we love. #i think your grandfather was so lucky to be able to know you. to have you in his life for the time you had together. #i'm no spiritual person; but i like to believe when you're thinking about him? he's thinking about you too. #the second law of thermodynamics (physics nerd mode) is that no energy has ever been created/destroyed since the beginning of the universe. #so it has to go somewhere - it's that carl sagan quote of 'we're all made of stardust'. because we are. we used to be stars; planets; etc. #i think it's why i think of these space songs - because they're a part of everything; once more; when they go. us and everything else.

i never usually feel patriotic. but then untouched by the veronicas comes on.

#I FEEL SO UNTOUCHED AND I WANT YOU SO MUCH #THAT I JUST CAN’T RESIST YOU #ITS NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT I MISS YOU #makes me shed a mf tear #i understand the americans on the fourth of july when those sweet sweet violins start playing #what’s going on in nero’s mind? #australia

Edwin is given a violin that can be played by ghosts, and it sits in the corner for months.

Charles has forgotten about it when he comes in to see Edwin, eyes shut, throwing his entire soul into Erlkonig, hairs tearing off his bow, spectral sweat dripping from his forehead, agony in the sweet notes

And it feels like the non-existent breath is knocked out of him when Edwin hits the final notes: “The child in his arms… WAS DEAD.”

violins, stars, and a show

You pull on the bow of the violin, staring at the notes on the sheet music as you practice. The notes skip through the air and dance, and you pull and play.

Damian sits on the other side, looking through his own work as you continue practicing.

"Habibti," He sighs. "What do you want for dinner?"

"I'm good with anything." You tell him absentmindedly, continuing with the music as you reach the end of the song. "Why?"

"I was considering cooking for the night."

"Then anything is fine." You pull the last note, finger releasing the key when the beat ends.

Damian claps for you as you bow for him, a smile on his face.

Headcanons:

Damian LOVES listening to you practice the violin

I feel like the two of you meet at an animal cafe or something bc you're obsessed with the cats there and he's there because he wants to adopt another one

You guys have. so many pets. so many.

you guys bake together!! bake together!! BAKE. TOGETHER. (Damian watches you bake and helps you get the ingredients)

Also, movie nights consist of the two of you binging National Geographic on their newest animal documentaries

do NOT message me. I'm busy mourning all of the languages I'll never learn and countries I'll never visit and books I'll never read and foods I'll never eat and art I'll never see and history I'll never know and skills I'll never have and events I'll never be able to go to and people I'll never meet and hobbies I'll never try. btw.

Dipper would, or should, play the violin.

the violin is one of the hardest instruments to master and requires unbelievable dedication, you need to practice every day for a significant period of time. like, you need to. or else you will not be good.

and, a lot of violin accompanying pieces are for piano.They just sound perfect together

#dipper pines #gravity falls headcanon #billdip #if you squint #but no seriouslyyy bills already got the piano #the brass/wind instrument dipper plays in the shorts is really funny and does fit with his character #i feel like in a certain au he would absolutely go all in on violin #hes the type of guy who is all or nothing #either he hyperfixates to the point of death or he doesnt acknowledge it at all #and that is the exact mindset you need for violin

#I’m talking about Nahu’s squad specifically #So far we have Nahu Ezio Ione and Sage #The rest are unnamed #(The rest being mechanic boy smart girl healer girl himbo baker boy and feral girl) #(And violin boy too ig 🤔) #I spent 45 minutes looking at names and going mm.

Not that one #THEY JUST AREN’T HITTING THE VIBE #Shima speaks #Among the Stars #ATS #Shima’s OCs #Be warned tho I am VERY picky about names so don’t feel bad if you give me one and I don’t use it nfnsnjfs

Been absolutely obsessed with @cosmiischillin's aged up Ruby Gloom AU Twilight Town and thought it'd be kinda fun to dig up my old Ruby Gloom OCs/Self Inserts and age them up to fit the Twilight Town Vibe.

The mummy is more recent, not adult recent they were definitely still a kid me self insert, but I only really recently put their design to paper like, last year. You can see that post Here because I really don't want to ramble twice about the same OC.

Luna is my baby baby OC who was basically just a Self Insert, I made them when I was maybe 8? They're a Shape-shifter who's color blind who took the form of Ruby hoping they could be as popular as her and make friends like she does because they're very very shy. Ruby basically adopts them as a sister afterwards.

I had drafted in a notebook as a kid a script for their arrival episode that came right after Blue Luna where even though they're drastically different looking Frank, Len, and Iris canNOT tell the two apart, and even assume Ruby to be the fake. Shenanigans and what not.

Yes baby me made an OC that was The Main Character but a Different Color and I was SO proud of it. I made an edit of Ruby to make her look like Luna as a child in MS Paint, but it as sense gone to the wind. Sad.

#Emile's Arts #I never think about aging character's up but I do think it's interesting #When other people do it. I could not. #I haven't drawn Luna sense I was an actual child obviously so I did very much go off the Twilight Town design of Ruby #Instead of Canon Ruby #Because you know. It was the ref I had on hand and I didn't feel like googling it fkdjgkdf #I couldn't think of any dislikes of Luna's but I DID remember their likes #I use to have them play ukulele cause I was obsessed as a kid then I think it was piano #as an adult I've decided on Violin because it's more elegant and Vampire-y to me #They lean more into the Vampire's Daughter than Ruby does in this AU me thinks #Not that they have any of Ruby's powers they just look like her kfgfdgk #Mummy's main issue with not being understood is how many adults in the medical field don't know sign language #Or don't even bother to try to understand her sense she's a monster #Number 1 day ruiner; Scaring a kid. Saddest day of her life when a kid is scared of her

[moghedien]

they spent the first half of the episode making it absolutely clear that Haruka and Michiru were being chill and looking after baby Hotaru and her dad, so them showing up on the top of the ruins, Michiru playing the fucking violin, and then provoking Usagi and the other girls into a fight is sooooo fucking hilarious

because they knew Usagi was right at this point. They knew she was the messiah, and they knew they were gonna leave this fight by basically swearing allegiance to her. they weren't even bothered by it, it seemed. they had like fully accepted all of this and were ok with it.

but FIRST they were gonna show up and be dramatic haters one last time

#like its sooo funnny because 1) they clearly took that baby and left in secret #like Usagi came out with the baby and then didn't know where it went once Haruka and Michiru approached her #like she thought she fucking dropped the baby in the ruins or something??? and they were just gonna let her think that???? amazing #2) they had clearly been taking care of Hotaru for a few days before they brought her to her dad #and they knew as soon as those two were settled they were gonna go deal with the messiah matter (aka confront Usagi) #and so they had DAYS to plan exactly how dramatic they were gonna be how they were gonna pose what they were gonna say to mess with Usagi #like 'ok we're gonna climb to the top of the ruins and I'll sit there with a rock while you start playing violin' #and they clearly were using like things they thought would get to Usagi to provoke her to fight #and FOR WHAT #the DRAMA OF IT ALL THAT'S WHAT #like they really were just out there like making sure Usagi was willing to kick their asses if need be #and once she proved she would they were like 'oh sweet.' and then left #haruka tenou #michiru kaioh #sailor moon #sailor neptune #sailor uranus
