dancing amongst the stardust
lost
in translation
We dream of musty horse carriage goodbyes of the princes
(but cover our ears so we never hear the departure).
But still, you make footprints on my atlas as you walk
in circles between lost bookshelves, familiar bedcovers and cross the stage over
weeks and years, in detour over
and over
again.
But the whisper of dreams never ends.
So I'll etch the ghost of fluttering farewells in heartscript which you left in my lips' acquaintance,
for you to uncode,
unravel
and speak
(for) me
till the day we meet again.

A post-series afterthought which morphed into bad poetry. This is what would happen after the ending, and into the future.
I love No.6. I just finished watching the series yesterday, and it tasted like perfection. It was a work of wonderfully woven drama around multi-faceted characters. I love Nezumi, especially, because more than half the time, I can't understand him or anticipate his actions. That's exciting! I've rarely ghosted a character which doesn't intrude upon a convention as much as most characters inevitably do.
Initially, I was really dissatisfied with the ending! It felt really cluttered and claustrophobic - despite the fact that it was an open end. But after I rewatched some parts, the role reversal and parallels to scenes prior starting surfacing, and I started liking it a lot more! ; w ; The biggest irony, I think, is their second kiss as a promise of reuniting, despite the first being a symbol of (false) farewell. It made the ending a lot more bittersweet with the knowledge that change is about to come in their future. That subtlety was a work of art, and god, do I wish there was some sort of sequel.
Other randomicity: I'm currently rushing out an illustration spread for my dear yoursubtext's magazine project, and it's very exciting and lots of fun! I hope to finish it up by Tuesday/Wednesday morning so my replies are slowing to a crawl, so sorry. orz I also want to catch up with posts after this is done.
But recently, I can see myself doing art for a living more and more. It's stressful and you bash yourself up too much being self-critical, but it's still pretty satisfying! I think art is pretty much a masochistic activity, fufu. (｡´‿`｡)
My Namimori TCG post also exceeded the annoying LJ post limit, and I tried to move over to Dreamwidth yesterday, but the coding there is really frustrating for tables! ; A ; Am I the only one who thinks this way? Anyway, I went ahead to apply to an external TCG hosting, and I hope the webmistress gets back to me soon! I'm actually really excited about designing the web layout and learning how hosting works... over the actual TCG part of it, ahaha. #secretdream
This might be surprising, but I used to really want to be a web designer back when I was a HTML-crazed kid, ahaha.
