til the death of me

You Cannot Raise The Dead [listen] - A mix for a veteran who can’t yet lay down arms.

“There are a hundred thousand things I could say about General Valasar, and they would not begin to encompass my dearest friend. In my many years, I have met none who can match their tenacity, their strength, their courage, and their wisdom. They are my stability when I am weak, my voice when I am mute, my joy when I am melancholy. 

There is a saying, that one can not teach an old dog new tricks, but Bebe taught me so much in the moments that we were inseparable. I learned, and eventually truly understood many things about life, love, and the self. I learn these things from them, still. 

I often envy them for their courage. When faced with things that would terrify a weaker person, or something that fills them with true anxiety, they are steadfast. They persevere, and not because they are Sin’dorei, nor because they are a warrior, or a leader, but because they are a champion.

Our friendship has come full circle, and for that I am glad. Though we were not to last forever as lovers, I still never wanted to lose them. Without Bebe, I would be a lesser man. I think they know this, and you can see the gloating pride in their eyes, sometimes. 

There is no one I trust more than Bebe, with my life, with my heart or body, mind or soul. I met them when my heart was hard, when I had forgotten how to feel anything but misery, and they taught me how to love, to laugh, and to live again. They may never quite understand my gratitude, as I will never be able to repay them for finding me, but I will spend the rest of my days attempting.”

And awesome. Thank you so much for the signal boosts!! 

WE DID IT! I have this many followers [holds up 105 fingers] and I am very, very excited about it. I have, as all of you have, seen a lot of giveaway posts signalling various people’s amazing follower milestones. I never thought it’d be in my cards to gain such a following, and a lot of you actually read my work which, you have no idea, touches my heart to its very core. Thank you so much. You make all this work so worth it. I look forward to continuing, and hopefully writing with more of you! 

So anyway! I wanted to to a giveaway to show all my appreciation for your support over the years. (Yes, years. Holy crap.) Most giveaways are, of course, art. I can not art to save my life, so it took me a while to consider what I could possibly give that would be worth anything at all. So, I decided, in-game goodies! Yay! GOODIES. 

This is my first giveaway, so I have no idea what I’m doing. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to do this again, but only time will tell! [ominous music]

So, you all (probably) know the drill. 

THE RULES:

You must be a follower.

You have to play WoW. 

You must be on Wyrmrest Accord. 

You can’t be a jerk.

30-Day Game Time

My everlasting friendship. (Just kidding. That’s for everyone.)

There will be three winners, chosen, of course, with a random number generator. First place will get to choose one of the three options, second place will choose from the two remaining, and third will get what’s left over! Please bear in mind that I will need the email address associated with your account, so you must be comfortable with that in order to, you know, get stuff. This contest will be open until Friday the 11th, at 11:00PM PST. I know some of you will be dead asleep by then, but worry not! I will wait for… I dunno. A few days? Another week? (Idunnowhatimdoingsorry) to hear back from the winners. 

Again, thank you all so, so, so, so, so much. I am ecstatic to have been allowed to share Jeziel’s journey with you, and I look forward very much to sharing more. 

10 watercolor illustrations I did this past week as part of my final project for class. all are based on my IC blog bebe-valasar and cover events from the past year + :>

I have not drawn in so long. I am going to change that

as soon as I figure out which program to use

For every ➹ I get I’ll put up my muse’s current thought.

        “I look very much forward to hearing from the Hound, since our brief time in Northrend I have only wished to know him more.”

        “The Dark Angel has yet to report in properly to the Juggernaut for training. I do hope that does not imply any… distractions.”

        “… the Juggernaut. Well perhaps I should not delve to far into those thoughts at this precise moment.”

        “The Eye I made for the General is likely worn by now… if they were to come see me another could be crafted.”
