Long time no see, I hope you're all doing well 😊

I just came to let you all know I've opened a Tellonym account, because it seemed like fun 😆 So you can find me on there!

Also follow me on Facebook, Victoria Bates or @meitonapalace, or Instagram under coldphoenixirl, coldphoenixcosplay and meitonapalace.

I have no idea when this was asked 😂😂

But yeah I'm fine, tbh I'm not really drawing or writing for fandoms anymore because I've been focusing on Regal (book 2 due very soon btw! 😁) and I have had a *lot* going on in my personal life this year.

I am, just never come on here anymore. A lot has been happening irl so I haven't really been online. Had a lot of changes and a heartbreak to deal with 😂 This is such a difficult year for anyone.

Yes they are! You're lucky I came on here to post a thing, I never go on tumblr anymore. I hope this ask isn't too old 😅

Inspired by the pub where I work... this is about as personal as I can get without it being too painful. Lockdown has made me realise how attached I am to it. I am pleased with how this turned out though :)

Wee thing I whipped up for Father’s Day. Spot the shout outs 😆

  xxx

His is to provide for his family,

And he leaves nothing behind but them.

His legacy is the children who don’t always appreciate him,

From being too young to notice him,

To being old enough to kick and scream and disobey.

A wife who in loving and being true to him,

Will often complain that he works too much,

Or that they are too poor because he spends too many hours at home.

 Is he the modern man or a dying breed?

What is a father expected to do today?

What was his father expected to do when he was young?

Will his mother be proud of him?

Will his wife tire of him?

Will his children grow up good?

And will it be because of his presence or his absence?

 What difference is he making to the world,

As he carries the weight of it?

His is not to question, or reason why.

His is not to try to understand.

His is simply to provide and to guide, and to follow in his father’s footsteps,

If his father was a good man.

His mother will tell him if his father was a good man.

And his children will tell him if he followed.

They are his legacy, and his difference to the world,

And he will carry theirs much longer than he carries them.

From the rocking of their cradles to the rolling of his hearse,

He gives his love to roses and thorns,

And his is not to ask for anything in return.

 His is to be, and to let his legacy be, and hope that it is enough,

For things to be good and right.

Like his father made things good and right.

 He is not immortal, but he is more than simply a man.

No 😭 At first I was working on Regal and that was going really well, but eventually the lockdown started making me feel foggy and now all my creativity is gone 😢 I'm working on Regal when I can but it's only tiny bits at a time. I have a fic commission I need to do but I told them it might take a while because I'm so foggy. I hate it lol 😂
