Creative Corner

Heyo. This is mostly to motivate me but I thought I'd post it in case anyone else wants to join. Long story short I've kinda had writers block for years? Sure I write here 'n there but.. it's nothing compared to a few years ago, I used to genuinely write for HOURS on end.. now i'm just tired and never inspired so..

Gotta force myself to write! I need to make it a habit.. Therefore I'm gonna try to write something DAILY on FR, probably lore stuff.. It might be big,, or small,, sometimes vague,, no matter wHAT i'm gonna write something though! maybe sometimes add pics or whatever,, just gonna dO IT... as long as its daily i dont cARE...

If you want you can post ur random writings too or smth. I can't guarantee I'll read it but you also don't gotta read mine, I just feel more pressure by making a post like this.. Then it's like.. Wow.. I GOTTA commit.. and look cool in front of people.. ha... Anyways as I start this, it's 4/15/18. Day one.

Edit: It was still 4/14/18 on fr when i wrote that so.. let's just count it as such.

^{I should probably do this too, but for now I'll just wave a support flag! Slay the block, @GladeLockwood!}

[/u][/size][i][size=2]~Thomas Merton[/i][/size] [size=4] Kindness was one of those two sided coins you hear about. It's surely one of the greatest traits of them all, being able to treat others with compassion and mercy, being able to thoughtlessly smile and offer out a hand to those in need, that soft, pleasant demeanor was something of a gift. People like you if you're kind, of course, everyone is aware of that. Who doesn't love a sweetheart? But that coin does have another side, of course. It's easy to take advantage of such silly, hopeless people. How can you not? They're too happy to lend a hand, too eager, they fall into it without even being aware. Favors, there were always favors they wanted her to do. At first it was nothing much, she was a gentle giant, always a bit too happy to comply with their meager requests. It was nothing, really. A few berries from the bush near the plains? Of course, she'd get right on it! To watch a few hatchlings for a friend so they could attend to important matters? Well, what friend wouldn't do such a thing! It was nice at first. Don't all things start like that? 'It was fine at first' or 'I was okay with it until..' This was a similar story. Sloth hadn't minded doing those trivial favors back then, sure she had her own matters to attend to, her own mate, her own tasks and duties, she had a status to maintain and originally it wasn't difficult to handle both. Back then it was all harmless. Too bad kindness is preyed upon in this world, huh? It wasn't long before these little favors became frequent, even rather troublesome at times. After all, how could she say 'no' to her own friends? Or, now, even her own mate had slowly grown frequent to asking tasks of her. It couldn't be that great of a deal, she had figured. They just needed more than usual, that was all. Besides, most of the duties seemed important. Well. Maybe not 'most' but a few at least. It was still far too frequent, daily even, sometimes even hourly. A pearlcatcher whining at her to help clean their pearl again, a Wildclaw sheepishly asking her to watch their hatchlings for the second time in a day, her own mate coaxing her into listening to his bragging and complimenting him when she hadn't the time--- it was growing a bit too much. Then again, wouldn't they do the same for her? If she asked a favor, if she needed a break, would they not understand? It wasn't difficult to say 'no', at least not as difficult as Sloth had thought. She'd offer a sheepish apology, ears wilting as her friends attempted coaxing her into their favors or tasks, trying to talk her into it and at first it worked. She couldn't resist, it was just one last time, right? 'It would be quick,' they claimed. 'C'mon, Sloth, I'm depending on you,' they'd say. Yet, no one would help her when she needed. She didn't realize this at first, no. It came to her when she finally found the ability to deny their requests, only when she began making time for herself, for her own duties and now even her own hobbies. At innocent times she needed help of her own, perhaps some help gathering or scavenging about-- they weren't there for her. Her mate. He wasn't there for her. She was alone. Strange. And that wasn't it. Her ears began to pick up chatter, rumors of how she'd started to 'change', how she wasn't as kind as she'd been before. It was wild, honestly. After all she'd done for them this was what she got? This? It hurt, really. Slowly she'd grown to find herself alone, something that she'd never dealt with in the past with having such a friendly demeanor, she was alone and at first it was difficult to deal with. What was she supposed to do like this? Who was she supposed to chat with? Nobody seemed to like her anymore. Man, it hurt. Sloth found herself scavenging out in the ruins more than ever, keeping herself distracted with the countless items she'd find, occasionally even murmuring to herself about her finds. This, this was fine. It wasn't entirely fine, no, but it was acceptable. She was good at this, right? She did like scavenging, granted it was a bit farther away from her clan than she'd like but since everyone was gone there wasn't a problem with it. Of course she was still part of her clan, she'd never even consider abandoning them! Though doing this, spending more time to herself and bringing back treasures, it was nicer than she'd thought. In the past she'd mostly gone with other dragons in groups, often lurking around stronger dragons with great claws, frequently being used to dust off the artifacts they found. Now she was in charge of her own expeditions. Her attire changed, she wore claws that could help her with digging in the ruins, her old clothes became that of rags. Rags could endure the dirty conditions of the ruins, that and the skull attached to them helped protect her face-- and to top it all of she had the flames to light the way. Her mate hadn't liked her flamed attire before. It was a good thing that didn't matter now, she was a lone dragon. And maybe, maybe this wasn't that bad. [/font][/center]

This fact is rather harmless at surface value but once upon a time Ece was only a simple forager, picking edible berries or digging up herbs for consumption. It's odd to think a dragon who had spent most of his training years preparing to be a forager is now one of the best hunters, there'd been rumors that he'd been taking hunting lessons from another dragon but.. who? [b][size=4][u]Mate or Potential Mate[/u][/size][/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=315351&tab=dragon&did=38535086][color=red]Auxilium[/color][/url], without a doubt. There is no need for any other explanation. Auxilium is his mate, he is her mate. It is as simple as that. Nothing further to explain, no story to be told, things have been perfectly well between them as long as anyone can remember. If anything many use their mate-ship as an inspiration, as something to go by, something they themselves cannot wait to be part of. They are perfect, they've never had any rough patches that anyone knows of, no one has ever seen them bicker, act odd, they are perfect. No further questions should be asked. Why question their happy, perfect lifestyle? Everyone should want something like they have. It was simply [url=https://youtu.be/hD7x_7tUFNI?t=1m44s][color=red]meant to be.[/color][/url] [b][size=4][u]Dream Familiar[/u][/size][/b] Ece didn't care much for pets or non-dragon companions. He's never been seen to have one, or to want one.. Though, he has been seen sneaking off towards the swampland, in fact he did so quite often during his adolescence.. Odd, but probably trivial. He doesn't have a familiar, simple as that, he never cared to have one. [b][size=4][u]Dream Apparel[/u][/size][/b] Ece had never been big on apparel. Of course he had nothing against it, in fact many dragons looked quite appealing in it but overall, he could care less. Perhaps something small or minor he'd wear on occasion but overall, he prefers the natural look. [b][size=4][u]The Lore[/u][/size][/b] Oh, Ece, quiet, obedient little Ece. He was a perfect hatchling, an absolute darling of a hatchling, all of his caretakers adored taking care of the little dragon simply because he was so tame. He never got into fights with the other dragons, if anything he was a bit of a loner but still, he was the dream for any dragon to have to watch-over. Minimal talking, quiet, observing eyes, he was such a peaceful little thing growing up-- and as he grew, that didn't change too much. Ece had grown more solitary as time went on but it wasn't anything too strange, he'd still eat and cooperate with others in the clan, still made minor conversation, no one noticed the young dragon's lack of companions because he seemed quite content that way. Upon being trained to become a forager he had absolutely no problems that could be reported from his mentor, he was a perfect student, it was almost strange. Perfect. Excellence. Such a good, good dragon. So, so, good. Perfect. Wasn't he perfect? Hobbies weren't the sort of thing Ece was interested in, at least not until he was nearly an adult. The majority of his days were spent learning more about the various fruits and vegetation he dealt with, learning what was safe for dragon consumption and what was better left for healing potions of the such. He was easily making his way towards being one of the best specialists in the clan when it came to digging up special herbs or berries--- but that changed. He met [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=315351&tab=dragon&did=38535086][color=red]Auxilium[/color][/url], his mate. Well, he'd met her long ago, they'd grown up together as hatchlings but back in those days they hadn't been much. They'd made small conversation on occasion but never anything larger, as when adolescence hit she was meant to be caretaker of the hatchlings, not a forager. Somewhere along the line, things changed. Their paths intertwined and ever since Ece's life had changed--- He made the moves, all of them. It started as nothing more than a 'crush', if that was what it could be called. She would make a gorgeous mate, nothing more. She was supposed to become the newest caretaker of the hatchling, she was perfect mating material, she would be good-- no? That was all it was meant to be and yet she'd grown to be something more. They'd never spoken much, nothing outside of minor conversation, entirely pointless, trivial matters and yet she caught his eyes. Was it her colors? The spark of life she had? She had something he didn't. Something he wanted. Something that made him feel, well, strange. And a part of him despised her for that. [b][u][size=5]TO BE CONTINUED[/u][/size] [/b] Note to self: Love me love me love me,, theme song purposes,, that line of 'My confession seemed so fake, didn't it?' and 'from me to you' Aaaa that's all for today! I'm proud of this so far.. I can't wait to finish it.. Sort've,, but this is a GREAT START so far,, there's to 4/15/18!!

im.. not feelin that motivated today yall.. well. that or im just LAZY. who knows. i also actually did things today,, like i was OUTSIDE for awhile,, and went shopping,, super productive day,,, iLL FORCE SOMETHING OUT OF ME, ILL WRING THE WORDS OUT OF MY FLESH. HERE I GO.... [s]oh my god i've left this page open for like three hours HA IM GONNA DO IT NOW [/s] [left][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2228812/1][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/fd71ec415b6ce8274f81a5ba45e90a23/tumblr_osr8u7mjpA1v8lm95o1_r1_100.gif[/img][/url][/left] [right]"Hello, it's me again.. I know, you didn't really wanna hear from me-- but I still have a lot to say, if that's okay. I know you might never listen to this and it might just get thrown out or destroyed but if anything it makes me feel better. And if it makes me feel better and can help me move on, I'm going to do it. You always wanted me to look out for myself, right? Well. I'm doing it. I'm trying it. Again, I know you don't want to listen to me blah blah you got the point, no more babbling...[/right] [right] So, how've you been? You can't answer this but I can pretend you're doing well, at least I hope you're doing well, guess I'll never know? Well, right now I'm doing okay, probably better than I've been in awhile so I guess that's something.. I've met some new people, found a place for myself-- saying things have just been 'okay' is probably an understatement but I still feel sort've down. Can you blame me? I'm sure you can but hey, gotta stay true to myself now, right? I'm facing the world alone for a change, things just aren't so white and pearly when you're alone like this.. I'm not alone, I-- I'm not alone, I just, I feel alone sometimes when I shouldn't. Nothing big-- look, that isn't, that's not the point of this. We're really done and it's finally hitting me now that you're gone. Sure it was a done deal long ago but I just, I never thought you'd leave like this, I thought I could put things back together like I always had, I just, I just didn't expect this. I didn't know it was really over. You told me it was but you've said that before, we could have fixed it, things were going to be fine and just-- You're gone. It's just a lot.. it's been months but this whole time I haven't been over it, over you, it's just a lot. But. But.. But... ... I don't know-- this, this whole thing is kinda stupid I guess? You aren't going to listen to this, I won't even know if it ever got to you, this is all pointless and just, it's just a done deal. I don't even know why I'm doing this, you're gone, it's been forever but just, how could you disappear like that? I know why you did it and I-- I understand, I think I do.. I'm gonna move on, that's the original dumb point of this. I'm going to move on, Em. I'm moving on. I do still kinda love you-- like, you're sort've family. More than family. You're.. I dunno, just, I'm moving on and that's all.. I hope you're okay. I guess I hope you're happy, at least doing better than me. Maybe we'll meet someday? Nah. I couldn't handle that. Love you Em. I miss you. I'll seeya--- well. I won't. So I guess I should say 'Goodbye'? Goodbye, Em."[/right] [center][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2228812/1][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/89773d11d7e2feaba5f29f8c6e8b34d2/tumblr_osyumbq9JU1v8lm95o4_100.gif[/img][/url][/center] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=315351&tab=dragon&did=40564895][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/405649/40564895p.png[/img][/url][/center]
