#wanting to be loved

[k-writesometimes]

Will the yearning ever stop?

When will I stop stripping myself naked only to be noticed and never to be held?

When will the snow covered mountains thaw?

I am beyond cold.

It’s a scary feeling. When you realize home is no longer where you thought it was. When it switches from a place to a person. And you don’t think that person feels the same.

Qin Yi: Jamais Vu

Designer’s Reflection: Jamais Vu

Obtained: VIP 8

Rarity: SSR

Attribute: Gold/Elegant

Awakened Suit: Deja Vu

Story - transcripts from Designer’s Reflection

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Chapter 2 - Part One: Deja Vu

Chapter 3 - Part Two: Jamais Vu

Chapter 4 - Epilogue

Story - summarized

Qn Yi’s newest performance stars Qin Yi himself as a fox spirit who turns human. As the Young Scholar, he uses his spirit magic and knowledge to help a human village prosper. He heals the injured and teaches the curious.

But no one can ever see his tail or learn his secret. Otherwise, he will have to leave.

A young woman approaches his house one evening to thank him for healing her father, as well as to bring him dinner. He thanks her, not sure what to say. The woman warns him about a monster attacking the village. No one knows what the monster is or where it came from. She then leaves, even though she has a huge crush on him and wants to tell him, before anything happens to either of them.

Right as the young woman leaves, a fox spirit approaches the Young Scholar. It’s his sister, Red Fox. Their clan of fox spirits has been hunted, leaving many dead and more scattered. She is the monster attacking this village. She is still furious that the Young Scholar left their clan, and even though he had the purest of intentions, Spirit Hunters still tracked him and his clan and killed as many spirits as they could.

Red Fox wants the Young Scholar to know what it feels like to be hunted, to be hated. So, she casts fire, intending to strike the Scholar or set fire to the house. Either way, she will cause a distraction.

The young woman from before hears the commotion, and she gathers other villagers to check on the Young Scholar. He s currently fighting his sister, both of them engaged in a magical duel.

The young woman tries to check on the Scholar, but he is still in his spirit form. He tries to hide from her, but Red Fox burns down the dividers. Everyone sees him as a fox spirit. And then, they turn on him.

Once the play is over, the cast comes back out amidst thunderous applause. They hold a brief Q&A. Everyone is curious to know how Qin Yi came up with this story. He tells them that it is about a choice: to be your true self and risk being hated, or to be what others want you to be and be liked. It’s about wanting to be loved as you, regardless what you do or who you are.

Someone asks if this story was based after his own life experience. Qin Yi lies and says no.

Connections

-From a young age, Qin Yi has wanted to be loved. But he’s been abused for so long, and he’s terrified of losing the people he loves, like in the Reflection for Moonlit Night Orchid.

-Qin Yi has had to balance acting and being his true self since he was a child. In the Reflection for Nostalgic Dreams, he begins his journey to trick and deceive through acting, but also struggling to figure his own life out.

-This is another Reflection featuring a fox spirit, the other one being Loen’s Flame Fox. Except this is a stage play inspired by lore around the spirits.

Fun Facts

-Fox spirits, “húli jīng” in Chinese, are known for their shapeshifting and trickery. Most appear as women, but some turn into men.

-This is the first time that there is no specific narrator. It reads like a folk tale, with no one voice telling the whole story.

-Jamais Vu is French for “never seen.” Deja vu means “already seen.”

-This is the second VIP suit.

Wanting To Be #077

Wanting to be loved wholeheartedly

Without the fear of being switched up on

Like seasons, wanting to be one and more

But always feeling like I'm not enough

Wanting to be known for who I am

Not just for the things that I can do

But wanting for someone to be afraid of losing me

For a change, wanting to be wanted for me

Wanting to be loved with open arms

And not just given crumbs from a table

Wanting for someone to hold me tight

And not just push me away with every fight

Wanting to be loved for my flaws and all

And not just for the perfect parts

Wanting for someone to see the real me

And not just a shadow of who I could be

Wanting to be loved with all my heart

And not just given half or a start

Wanting for someone to be my partner

And not just a one-night stand or a stranger

Wanting to be loved without any strings attached

And not just given false promises or a hug

Wanting for someone to be my everything

And not just a temporary fix or a bump in the road.

Wanting to be loved with loyalty and trust

And not just given false words or a deceit

Wanting for someone to be my rock and my guide

And not just a voice that's cold or a stride.

Wanting to be loved without any conditions

And not just given false hopes or a spell

Wanting for someone to be my partner

And not just a lover that's filled with flaw.

Wanting to be loved with understanding and care

And not just given false sympathy or a stare

Wanting for someone to be my partner

And not just a lover that's far.

Wanting to be loved without any hesitation

And not just given false affection or a distance

Wanting for someone to be my partner

And not just a lover that's lost its meaning.

Wanting to be loved wholeheartedly

Without the fear of being switched up on

Like seasons, wanting to be one and more

But always feeling like I'm not enough.

Wanting to be known for who I am

Not just for the things that I can do

But wanting for someone to be afraid of losing me

For a change, wanting to be wanted for me.

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

#i’ve been thinking abt that cringe post #i think the latent feelings behind ‘cringe’ are shame and sometimes envy/bitterness #same vibes as when six year olds say ‘those toys are for babies’ if they’ve been shamed for their age by older kids #anyway. i think part of the healing process is realizing that shame puts you at war with yourself bc part of yourself is a social being! #and that part of you wants community and acceptance (maybe love). shame is the absence of acceptance #unlearning shame means learning self-love and gaining the confidence to find your people #jerma #cw jerma #(someone asked me to tag lol)

The math just adds up!

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #farcille #I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath. #not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first. #I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*. #Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about. #I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/ #Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight - #The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room! #Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

#werewolf #folklore #slavic #poland #folk clothing #folk costume #wolf #me when The Peasants (2023) i hate that movie #nothing against it I actually love how it's made along with the soundtrack and references to polish paintings #but having watched it in cinema it triggered so many traumas that i wanted to immediately leave the screening room #kto się wychował na polskiej wsi ten się w cyrku nie śmieje #art #pl #polblr #how much more tags can i fit to get people to notice this? let's see!

#love how this is actually about something but it's so broadly applicable i dont want to actually make that specificity clearer #original text: oh you think you're soooo fucking smart. with your fucking convoluted pretentious sentences #anyways the sticker is also extremely relevant and i'm tired of this post being popular

[mrtequilasunset]

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.

#like I love sex im glad we're hyping it up #but also genuinely some of you have got to learn how to be normal around people who dont want to have sex #even if you're not talking about asexuality when you say stuff like that you're still being a weirdass #im not ace myself but i keep seeing posts that come across like they're taking it personally that other people don't want to have sex #it sounds like theyre trying to prove something to someone

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

#dinosaur #evolution #comic #prehistoric #animal #wildlife #paleontology #biology #poetry #comics #original #my art #archaeopteryx has no direct living descendants i know #but i wanted something aerial and the dinosaur to bird connection is classic and well known anyway #also the chicken over any other bird is very on purpose #its the mix of truth and comedy and genuineness and the fantastic in the mundane #its me asking you to see something so wonderful in something taken so un-seriously #and to love it both ways #also the jurassic park thing #where someone saw the reconstructed gait of a dino #and said. hey hang on. i know that walk. #and pulled up footage of a chicken walking #which jumpstarted the entire study into the link between dinosaurs and birds #in the end take whatever you want from it i just thought id provide some insight #i always like it when other artists do #the point is that i enjoy when people laugh at the end and when they dont #and i like it when they cry. i like it best when they both laugh and cry. eeaao intent #anyway mourn your losses but to live is to change #also hi guys i finally figured out tipping after 5 months so no more annoying ko-fi link

"A story doesn't need a theme in order to be good" I'm only saying this once but a theme isn't some secret coded message an author weaves into a piece so that your English teacher can talk about Death or Family. A theme is a summary of an idea in the work. If the story is "Susan went grocery shopping and saw a weird bird" then it might have themes like 'birds don't belong in grocery stores' or 'nature is interesting and worth paying attention to' or 'small things can be worth hearing about.' Those could be the themes of the work. It doesn't matter if the author intended them or not, because reading is collaborative and the text gets its meaning from the reader (this is what "death of the author" means).

Every work has themes in it, and not just the ones your teachers made you read in high school. Stories that are bad or clearly not intended to have deep messages still have themes. It is inherent in being a story. All stories have themes, even if those themes are shallow, because stories are sentences connected together for the purpose of expressing ideas, and ideas are all that themes are.

#original post #text post #500 #1k #2k #btw i know my definition of death of the author is loosey goosey here #it wasn't the main point so i went informal with it! as ppl in the tags have pointed out it isn't exact #and i do recommend reading the wikipedia article or similar (possibly even the essay itself if you're narsty) if you want to learn more! #wasn't expecting this to take off so my apologies to my barthes-heads out there #love you mwah #5k #10k #15k #20k
