nights are the hardest lunar wraiths don’t find friends well… they are more like a gang which hardly qualifies don’t you think? in the dark they aren’t lonely but they’ll make sure you are holding the knife- fights in your head with friends of the friendless shadows so? don’t look too close don’t pretend that [...]
it’s the little things really that keep me sane or at least somewhat less crazy than you perhaps like morning coffee candle fire scented bubbles in steam but they often remind me of other things too like getting too close to the heat and the inevitable burns from staying too long so here’s one [...]
