Allegedly, I slay

Accused of charm in the first degree

They’re whispering my name

But let’s be real — they wish they were me

If I’m the villain in your play,

Then I want billing, top display

So print the headline, flash the frame:

“Unbothered Babe Wins Anyway”

Phoenix (aka Karizma) wasn’t leaning into a villain role, but the opportunity to be a petty bitch in front of such a large audience….well. 💅🏼

I grew up watching

Princesses

find their Princes

and be swept away.

.

I grew up reading

about Girls who went on

Adventures

to figure out who they are,

and Boys

who found them

along the way.

.

I grew up gazing

at the Stars

in the sky

and in his eyes,

and feeling

like I was flying in both.

.

I grew up seeing Love

and Passion

and Romance

and Magic

everywhere I turned.

.

Is it any wonder, then,

that I don't know now

how to Settle for anything

Once her lovely neighbors left, Phoenix had some time to herself. Her first day in the countryside wasn’t too bad after all. She couldn’t help but think to herself that everything would end up just fine. 

As she lay against the ground, she stargazed up on the approaching night sky, full of hope and determination. Tomorrow was going to be even better. 

(Phoenix Rose by TheKeybladeForger)

Can you see the wings unfurling

As the sky begins to catch fire?

Singing a melancholy song

Of days gone by, singing all alone.

Because there can only be one.

There can only be one.

In the red of the dawn,

Amidst a path of withered roses

Can you hear her dulcet voice

Deep in the shadow of a forest once set ablaze?

Singing a melancholy song

Of days gone by, singing all alone.

Because there can only be one.

There can only be one.

In death, she is reborn,

Consumed by the flames of her birth.

The first and last of her kind.

Singing a melancholy song

Of days gone by, singing all alone.

Because there can only be one.

There can only be one.

So when you hear her melancholy song

Of days gone by, singing for you.

Remember there is life again after death,

Even for you, because you too are a Phoenix.

And there can only be one.

There can only be one…

Yet another of those stories I need to finish but decided to touch up the cover art a bit.

Phoenix Rose will be performing as part of Retro Strip Show this Feb 12th, 2017 at Vancouver’s Penthouse Nightclub.

I’m redoing my @infamous-if ocs bc it’s been so long since I’ve really sat down and played it last.

Only Dallas and Ender are from my og playthrus and then also the band name Stereo Crows lol everyone else is new. I had fun using a shitty Pinterest ‘what’s your band name’ generator list thing for some of these 🤣 13th Sucka Street was particularly fun-seeing ppl like Orion unironically saying sucka.
