Description
atta good lil tresspasser plant ghost.
I want a plush Tarό. A really huge one. How much does faux fur cost?
Some days Tarό doesn't feel. Neither the tug of something unkown and familiar at the middle of his chest, neither the euphoric brightness of the forest moss. Some days he looks at the clear sky and the blue seems almost grey. The flowers keep growing and the trees keep whispering, the hidden paths in the woods softening under his feet, the grass seemingly bending to bow as he passes, but none of it reaches him. These days are hard, but forgetable. They come and drown him and the forest in a white, choking fog, the stillness of the air making everything seem dead. Inlcuding him. And when a morning comes and he snaps out of it, the mountains shining bright blue and inviting, that is when he usually leaves the woods behind, he leaves the sream behind, and walks, and walks, without clear purpose. But he's never lost. For there's always something that's there, always unreachable but ever present. And then he tires and misses the stream and he's back in a heartbeat, to make the moss grow, to watch the tiny flowers, to rub against trees and run with the breeze, to enjoy what little happiness he can find until grey clouds inevitably cast him in shadow again, catching him always by surprise because some days, like these, are easy to forget.

I love all the details and color sin this one and the written bit that goes with it is rather soothing.

Oh man, how did this one sneak by me?
I really love how you draw plants. Like, holy crap
I really love hope you write for Taro. It's very relatable and creates a very realistic feeling of depth for his character.

Yeah me too!
Ah well what I'm worried about usually is wether or not what I write comes across to other people the way it sounds in my head. I mean, specific wording can change the tone and feel of the text and I don't have the language sensitivity for english to tell me if something is, say, cheesier than it should be, or comes off as way too cold and lifeless for the context. If that makes any sense.
I make tons of typos too, especially in my native tongue, because then I don't really care XD

I hadn't really considered that but now that you say it it makes a lot of sense. I mean, I'll never know what your true intent was but so far what I've read for Taro it has a gloomy feel? Like he's living out his new life but is bothered by something he doesnt really understand (i.e. his past life). And it causes him to move from the enjoyment he gets taking care of his forest, to melancholic episodes that forse him to leave.
Lol I feel that. A lot of times I feel very anxious talking to folks so I tend to no reread things. Just write it and get it out there so I don't have time to over think it.

Ah I'm glad to hear that, that's more or less what I'm trying to go for. Definitely a lot of gloominess and confusion but not so bad that he can't ever enjoy anything.
Yup, I do that exact thing too.

Your "silly little writing thingy" reminds me so much of how it is when I'm going through a period with my depression. Most days I'm fine, but there are those that, for no reason at all, I wake up and have to remind myself that I'm supposed to feel. I enjoy your art style and your writing very much.

I'm really glad you enjoy it!
That's how it came about actually.
Today was one of these days for me and I just had to do something to get it out because I hate being like that

You described the feeling (or rather the lack there of) very well. And I'm a firm believer that esks are certified therapy floofs.
