-Quote of the Here and Now: 'Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.' - J.K. Rowling
This is no new revelation, but it's one I've only acknowledged outside of my subconscious for the first time, now. I am under no obligation to feel the same way towards other people as they feel towards me; I don't have to keep feeling bad because I don't feel as strongly about someone as they do about me. I can let it go, and that's incredibly freeing.
I don't have to kick myself over not loving someone that loves me, or feel bad when I'm someone's best friend and they're not mine. I can let it go when I love someone who doesn't love me, or when I'm not one of my best friend's best friend.
Insert big freaking sigh of relief here. I'm letting go.
- Larger scan of my favorite thumbnail from last week, just 'cause. Hello, Nick!
- And a larger Rehgan-were!
- Concept for what I wanted to do in noir style. I didn't go with this, and I couldn't figure out how to work Nick's pose in a way I wanted, either, so I guess that's good I opted out.
- That looks like it hurts, Tarquel. But at least it looks like it went through!
- Since you've all technically seen the first two images from last week, I'm tossing in an extra pic bonus. Another concept I didn't wind up using, but one I've always wanted to. Nick looks wonky, but such is a rough sketch. Nick and Ktaju in the bar in Obse Dian!
Jen went to the E.R. today, and it might not be super serious but I'm super stressed. Sooo... Yea. Sorry if I'm snappy or absent. Again.
Signing out!
