because look just

i will never stop liking abzu
the end

waking dreams of deep, glowing oceans;
echoes of glow from benthic depths.

dreams of resting on the bell of a colossal jellyfish, floating near the benthos, near the depths- a Neptunian Benthic monastery, a research outpost, a shrine existing in physicality and the Sea of Voices both.

Arms to catch those who would plummet, so they can rest and heal and dream, until they are ready to swim on their own.

A nacelle to hold, to cradle the light of the Mother.

Lim.

another day has come

and i hope it greets you with kindness and love.

💜

hey you're all wonderful and good the end

good night 💜

who would have thought having relatives show up for like five hours would be tiring

except it is
*oozes into bed*

Good morning, world.

I hope your day treats you kindly, with warmth and joy.

May you find rest and comfort and love.

tbh, just heck up my semantic structure worse than trying to translate Orz to english tbh

(fun fact: p sure somewhere along the way we got the wires in my head for 'sense of cosmic awe/wonder' and 'oh frick that's really hot' got twist-tied together like woah)

it's kind of the effort from beginner to mastery, i guess?

the initiation that leaves one Changed, the sculpting and training and twisting of self, to mastery, embodiment of the Other

...idk where im going with this just, happy thoughts

purrrble. *six-eyed grin*

Creeping distortions/corruptions of reality- transformations not of just the self but of the environs around them

extradimensional distortions seeping into this reality

words glitching into nonsense, into glossolalia,

thoughts being encrypted by static from their thinkers, superceded by outside sources

being lovingly sculpted/molded/warped into a carrier, a vector, an evangel

something Stranger, something Better springing in thy wake

Sooo, I think i'm going to get that.

A second windfall happened yesterday from grandparents, and with a previous kindness, i...actually have enough to afford such.

...it's hard to tell myself that 'it is okay to get myself a Nice Thing', instead of just saving and focusing on survival.

But i'm gonna get one. n..n;

I've wanted one of those for years.

...however, they are...prohibitively expensive, to say the least. Like, as much as a fursuit.

HOWEVER. doing some research, i found a different kind of handpan that's like a third of that price, and just...well, it sounds just as pretty to me. u3u

(instead of the hang, which is hammered into shape from the inside-out, this has steel tongues cut to resonate at a certain tone. Similar, but different?)

in the quest of Doing Nice Things for Ellu:

i recalled late last night about the Hang drum. It's a kind of instrument in a category called 'handpans', it's a mix between a steel drum and a UFO lookin' thing, that makes beautiful music:

(oh, yes, that's it, it was one of my favorite Shpongle tracks that did it.)

Hey, awoo'ers. G'morning.

I know i've been kind of a mess these past couple days, but I think i'm through the nadir. i'mma be doing my best to try that whole...self-care thing. It's...not easy for me. But I promise i'll try.

You should find reason to care and love for yourself today, okay?

Because you're absolutely worth it, too. We all are.

Hug. 💜

...oh i *did* pack my poi

i could Finally Get Competent at That

@vahnj For what it's worth, I think you're doing a good job out here. thanks for all the work you're doin'.

Hugs available on tap. 💜
