Arkadi, my little one... It's been far too long...Your story will be told, it is written in the stars.
I've been finishing this long overdue second chapter of Tales of Talos, and sincerely hope you guys enjoy the first sprouts of my efforts once they're posted^^ It's been a while since these guys have felt alive, like spring awakening from a cold, dark winter. Feels nice. Feels good.
*Tw: Dissociation Discussion*
My deepest apologies for the painfully long hiatus. It turns out the medication I was taking quite literally rewired my brain, and although it made me alert, it also induced what can now be identified as a dissociative fugue. On one hand, I would never recommend that level of emotional nonexistence to any artist(or...really anyone who enjoys having emotions at all). On the other hand, now that it's fading, the experience has provided some great material to pull from.
It was unlike anything I've ever been through. An absence of the self, despite total presence of the mind. You end up doing math on what you should be feeling, based on the memories of who you once were and who you know yourself to have been. Never have I felt so utterly in the dark. And never have I been so thankful for even the most painful of emotions now that I have them back.
Cherish your creativity, folks. Cherish every grain of bliss and grief.
Anyways, enough grandstanding! You want drama, theater, dragons!! Not the scribblings of some artist's diary.
I'll be finishing the chapter up in the next several days, so stay frosty my friends!!
