Insanely busy. I apologize in advance for the delay. I'll be trying my hardest to get right back on top of my replies.

[FONT=didact gothic]Welcome to my thread!
Call me Devil, DT -- whatever gets the job done for you.
Let's lay out some ground rules so we don't waste each other's time, sound good? Good.[/FONT]

[INDENT=2][FONT=didact gothic][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(255, 73, 73)]I. [/COLOR][/SIZE]Communication is king to me and communicative partners are an absolute blessing. Be upfront about your interests and ideas.[/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=2][FONT=didact gothic][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(255, 73, 73)]II. [/COLOR][/SIZE]I'm ghost-friendly, but be realistic about whether or not you're really interested in writing with me. I'd be very appreciative of the consideration![/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=2][FONT=didact gothic][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(255, 73, 73)]III. [/COLOR][/SIZE]Romance is on the table for the stories, but I'm not interested in some 'romance fixes his damage'. They're [B]irredeemable[/B] bastards, a pretty face and a warm body won't change that. [/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=2][FONT=didact gothic][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(255, 73, 73)]IV. [/COLOR][/SIZE]Be honest if you're losing interest. Seriously. I'm a very laid-back, friendly partner and I don't bite. Chances are if the roleplay can't be salvaged, we end it cleanly like adults. Deal?[/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=2][/INDENT]
[FONT=didact gothic]Short and sweet, time to move onto something interesting. 
Any of the plots, pairings, and prompts below are up for negotiation.
Feel free to bring your own spin to something, I'd be more than happy to brainstorm together.
If you don't see anything you like but enjoy the theme or would like to work out something original, feel free to send me your pitch. [/FONT]

〖 Knight x Prince  〗[/CENTER]
[JUSTIFY]
There are few things more humiliating to an army than to be beaten back time and time again, repelled by a single unifying figure. YC was that warden that kept her country from the brink - but when she was captured, it all fell to pieces. Rather than a swift execution, she was made part of the prince's guard -- with the single lone intention of being broken down and displyed.

Forgiveness was always a principle element of MC's faith, but for YC - there was hardly anything to forgive. She hadn't done a single thing to warrant sinning, aside from what she was born as. That hadn't mattered to MC. Guilty or not, he's intent on making her 'pay' for her sins and molding her into the perfect tool for his faith.

YC had always heard the rumors. Never venture beyond the grove. Stay near the village, the monster will make sure you never return. Curiosity had eventually won over, however. The plentiful game she caught in the sealed off forest enticed her deeper and deeper... right into the waiting claws and jaws of MC - the mythical monster that terrified the village.

Insufferable piece of shit. That was the single best phrase for YC to describe MC. From the day they had met, YC was tormenting and bullying her. He [b]knew[/b] every insecurity she had.

First impressions are important. MC's first impression on her was unforgettable - the way he butchered a man in front of her. YC had been tracking him for months prior.

She should have never picked up that fucking book. It had been her first and last mistake. No matter where YC ran to, the result was always the same.

There was something feral about him. Something other people couldn't put their finger on.

Caught in a fight between those two monsters, when MC gets a taste of her blood there is no running any longer - not from a werewolf.

Long-term & Short-term
PMs/Threads/Discord

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Affection so sugary sweet it makes your teeth ache,
all the way to the obsessive, possessive, and darker pursuits,
I'm looking for something dripping in passion.
» Icebreakers
› Call me whatever gets the job done for you. Personally, DT rolls off the tongue nicer than 'you' does, though.
› Feel free to not be a stranger, unless you want to be.
› I'm about as laid back of a partner as you could reasonably conjure up in your brain.
› OOC is fantastic. Send me all of it, all the way from worldbuilding, to tossing around scenes, to just fucking around. That's all my jam.
› Ghost-friendly. I don't really give a damn if you ghost me. Just don't beat around the bush with me if you lose interest in the story, I'm obligated to fuck with you if you do. You can, contrary to belief, just vanish and not be bothered by me. Crazy, I know!
» Expectations
› From Me
› Post frequency anywhere between daily to every three days.
› I give what I get, whether that's novella or a comfy two paragraphs. Quality matters more to me than substance.
› I'll drop writing samples here eventually. Just ask if you need the goods, I'll cough 'em up.
› Primarily take on male, dominant roles such as...
✓ Cold, cutthroat men with a sweet spot for someone
✓ Obsessively passionate lovers
✓ Playful, bantering jokesters
✓ Cocky, confident assholes
✓ Hopeless sweethearts
✓ And just about everything in between those lines.
› Fade to black isn't my sort of thing. I write steamy, descriptive, degenerate smut with copious amounts of sexual tension. Write something with me that shows just how much our characters crave each other. You do that and we'll get along wonderfully.
› Fairly visual writer, I like to make my posts both heavily descriptive and visually pretty. References are common in my writing, for characters, locations, music, etc. etc. That isn't something you need to do as well, if you prefer to stick to solely words. Just let me know, I'm a versatile fella.
› From You
› I write best with submissive or switch feminine-leaning leads, but if you write mostly domineering roles feel free to give me a shot anyways. If I like you as a partner, I like you as a partner. It is what it is.
› I don't care what gender you are behind that screen either.
› I'm not really a stickler for rules, just have basic roleplay etiquette. Write in third person, don't control my character. Nice and simple, yeah?
› Partners who are assertive and know what they're looking for are so damn attractive. Don't be too indecisive, that's all I'm asking for.
› Communicative partners, likewise, are a blessing. Talk to me. It'll make it that much easier for the story to be far more enjoyable.
› Likewise, if you're crummy at moving the story along, choose reasonably. Short-term stories can be just as fun as long-term ones, I promise I'm not trying to peddle you some snake oil here.

Once they get there, they realize it is, in fact. Terrifying as it is at first, they come to the realization the only thing MC wants is ravenous amounts of YC's affection. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

[B]2 :《 Shameless 》[/B]No one likes a couple that can't get their hands off each other. Unfortunately, MC doesn't particularly give a damn. Wherever, whenever, however... he's happy to show everyone just how much he loves YC even at their combined inconvenience.

[B]3 :《 Whipped Villain 》[/B]MC is the epitome of what one might consider evil. A renowned criminal, a mobster or an assassin - the terror of the city... until one day, he disappears. Where did he go? Well... he became a family man after ending up smitten by a very convincing YC. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

[B]4 :《 Black Cat 》[/B]YC has a crippling curse. No matter what they do or where they go, they end up plagued by bad luck. Relationships, work, basic activities like walking down the sidewalk. All of that changes when they meet someone who seemingly has an opposite blessing, MC who is blessed with god-like luck. (Open to flipping MC & YC)[/FONT][/SIZE][/SLIDE]

When they finally arrive to the dragon's den, they are instead met with the towering sight of the humanoid but distinctly draconic MC who is much more interested in taking YC as their mate instead. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

[B]2 :《 Wanderlust 》[/B]YC and MC were always born with the short end of the stick. Born into poverty, MC trained as a rogue and YC a bard. Their means of living? Hustling and then running their asses to another town to avoid getting arrested. It's not great living, but at the very least - it remains exciting and they always have one another.

[B]3 :《 Queen's Crown 》[/B](Arthurian Inspiration) Beloved by the masses, MC is the young King of a prosperous nation. However, he still lacks a Queen. While he was chosen by pulling his sword from a sacred stone, only the true Queen can wield his blade and so he hosts a competition to see if anyone can... before the most unlikely and unsuited candidate of lifts the weapon.

Unfortunately, when they come out... they have more than a few bugs and glitches that leave their personality wildly unsuited - in fact, the opposite of what he was wishing for. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

[B]2 :《 Thank God the World Ended 》[/B]A raging, ravenous plague eats through society turning most of the world's population into zombies. Tragic for just about everyone, except for MC and YC who both get released from the crippling obligations and responsibilities of their lives to live out their last few days in anarchy-fueled debauchery.

[B]3 :《 Shoot Me 》[/B]Somehow, in some way, MC always managed to weasel his way out of being caught by every bounty hunter throughout the galaxy. Amassing a massive bounty to retrieve him alive for his thefts and hijackings, YC - a bounty hunter, finally finds their lucky break by sneaking onto his ship... getting the jump on him once he jumps through a warp gate.

WARNING - SHENANIGANS ARE LURKING AHEAD!
You should bounce if you're lookin' for something serious.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
You know that saying? Trouble never comes alone?
That's me. And you.

Alright, so let me cough up what the hell I want - I'm looking to write stories that don't take themselves too seriously.
Comedic scenarios, delicious banter between characters, contrived storylines built off the back of images meant to be taken as jokes.
You get the idea. Or maybe you don't. Take a quick look at what I got cooking below in that case!
If you like any of it, toss me a PM and we can hash something out.

Skip the lame administrative gunk below if you...
A. Already know who I am
B. Don't really care who I am or how I write
C. Enjoy playing Russian Roulette, roleplay partner edition.

    〉Dev, Devil, DT - you can call me whatever you want. Don't get too creative with it, though.

    〉Twenty-something dude in the EST time zone. Work bites my ankles like a starving rat, so while you can expect me mostly in EST evenings, sometimes you might get the odd 2AM vampire reply.

    〉I do well with people that can fuck around and not take themselves too seriously. OOC is always massively appreciated, whether it's for plotting or just generally messing around. Likewise, the opposite also goes just fine by me. You don't want to hear a single peep outta me in OOC? Sure. No biggie!

    〉Ghost-friendly. That being said, I do not like people who beat around the bush. If you lose interest, just say so. There's no timeline out there (including this one) where it'll come as a soul-crushing revelation to me. Be forward and honest about what you're into and not into - I return the same level of respect of your time to you. Sound good? Good.

    〉I ravenously devour almost all forms of entertainment and media. Books, shows, games - everything from crummy anime to hard-nosed reality shows. Drop me a line sometime, chances are we share a hobby here and there and I love getting to know my partners.
  • FxkQ1Y7.png
    Third person only. No exceptions. We can still be friends tho. <3

    Expect a reply either daily or every three days depending on my work schedule. Anything longer I will mention explicitly in my journal, or OOC, or it'll be somewhere. Probably.

    You'll see anything between 400 words to ~3000 words per reply, averaging a little over a thousand for most replies. Juicy, elaborate replies do ungodly things to me and I love writing them but dragging on scenes endlessly isn't my thing.

    I am a very visual writer. I like my posts looking pretty. That includes imagery, both appropriate and exceptionally degenerate, music, and general styling to make my writing more palatable to my partner. Let me know if you wanna turn all that fancy gunk off though, I can pack just as much into my writing without it.

    Likewise, I enjoy rich writing. Runaway emotions, rich dialogue, juxtaposing something so sweet it makes your tooth ache with something that makes you shudder - I want to keep my partner on my toes in craving that next reply. If my writing doesn't hit that way for you, don't hesitate to say something to me.
  • 2kjgtqO.png
    While my leads could alternate from hopeless sweethearts to cold, cutthroat serial killers to confident, cocky assholes - the vast majority of my (main) leads will be masculine and domineering roles oftentimes with fairly strong and distinguishable personality traits that have some depth to them beyond what's plated up to be seen at first.

    Similarly, I am looking for a partner who settles comfortably against leading roles. Strong personalities are a joy to write against too, if you are the type of writer that can comfortably lean back and offer the reigns to your partner from time to time. Male, female, or anything else are more than welcome to send interest messages.

    I write some plenty of spicy sides to push the story forward but am primarily looking for 1x1 roleplays for this thread.

  • Father
    MEVFfH1.jpg

    Chaste, modest, devout... YC was always an upstanding nun. Strict, firm, and stoic... standing opposite of her had been the Father, MC. By day, they are perfect paragons. By night? All of that unveils and they are insatiable, sinful degenerates for one another forced to walk a tightrope between their double lives.
    Hate, Love, Hate
    qRDryEx.jpg

    NtZxsmV.jpg

    What happens when two people who are disgustingly into one another also hate each other's guts? MC and YC relentlessly and shamelessly shit talk each other constantly despite growing up together openly taunting one another's romantic choices, fashion sense, friends and company... all up until one day the tension snaps and suddenly they can't get their hands off one another.
    Tomboy
    ZfPUkVL.jpg

    It's hard to really get them out of MC's mind. A pretty smile, soft voice, eye-catching appearance... and so they pluck up the courage to ask them out - before coming to the crippling realization that they're the gender opposite what MC is attracted to. And so, they think, maybe they could give a boy/girl a chance too?

    I'd be more than happy to flip it so YC is a feminine male instead of a more masculine female.
  • MODERN & SUPERNATURAL

    1 :《 Possessed 》YC moves into a new apartment/home. Despite it being a steal, it comes with an odd rumor about being haunted. Once they get there, they realize it is, in fact. Terrifying as it is at first, they come to the realization the only thing MC wants is ravenous amounts of YC's affection. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

    2 :《 Shameless 》No one likes a couple that can't get their hands off each other. Unfortunately, MC doesn't particularly give a damn. Wherever, whenever, however... he's happy to show everyone just how much he loves YC even at their combined inconvenience.

    3 :《 Whipped Villain 》MC is the epitome of what one might consider evil. A renowned criminal, a mobster or an assassin - the terror of the city... until one day, he disappears. Where did he go? Well... he became a family man after ending up smitten by a very convincing YC. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

    4 :《 Black Cat 》YC has a crippling curse. No matter what they do or where they go, they end up plagued by bad luck. Relationships, work, basic activities like walking down the sidewalk. All of that changes when they meet someone who seemingly has an opposite blessing, MC who is blessed with god-like luck. (Open to flipping MC & YC)
  • FANTASY

    1 :《 (S)Lay the Dragon 》YC, a renowned adventurer and combatant sets off to take down a mythical dragon. When they finally arrive to the dragon's den, they are instead met with the towering sight of the humanoid but distinctly draconic MC who is much more interested in taking YC as their mate instead. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

    2 :《 Wanderlust 》YC and MC were always born with the short end of the stick. Born into poverty, MC trained as a rogue and YC a bard. Their means of living? Hustling and then running their asses to another town to avoid getting arrested. It's not great living, but at the very least - it remains exciting and they always have one another.

    3 :《 Queen's Crown 》(Arthurian Inspiration) Beloved by the masses, MC is the young King of a prosperous nation. However, he still lacks a Queen. While he was chosen by pulling his sword from a sacred stone, only the true Queen can wield his blade and so he hosts a competition to see if anyone can... before the most unlikely and unsuited candidate of lifts the weapon.
  • SCI-FI & APOC

    1 :《 Spaghetti Code 》In the distant future, MC is a self-proclaimed roboticist with the sole goal of creating his ideal android lover. Unfortunately, when they come out... they have more than a few bugs and glitches that leave their personality wildly unsuited - in fact, the opposite of what he was wishing for. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

    2 :《 Thank God the World Ended 》A raging, ravenous plague eats through society turning most of the world's population into zombies. Tragic for just about everyone, except for MC and YC who both get released from the crippling obligations and responsibilities of their lives to live out their last few days in anarchy-fueled debauchery.

    3 :《 Shoot Me 》Somehow, in some way, MC always managed to weasel his way out of being caught by every bounty hunter throughout the galaxy. Amassing a massive bounty to retrieve him alive for his thefts and hijackings, YC - a bounty hunter, finally finds their lucky break by sneaking onto his ship... getting the jump on him once he jumps through a warp gate. The problem? They end up in dead space and have to endure each other's company for a week on a cramped ship while wanting to kill each other. (Open to flipping MC & YC)

Imagine that, actually using the journal to write down journal thoughts!

Can't say whether or not this is going to turn into something regular but either way, I hope this makes for an enjoyable read for the occasional fella or gal that ends up stumbling onto this journal. I'm just looking to air out a couple of my thoughts publicly. Expect all of this to be fairly casual and light-hearted, but I might delve into some spicier topics here or there. Tread carefully!





83c5424e1eabcb2f38793f72e81a8dd5.jpg

Duality.

It's a theme I like in writing a lot. A sweetheart with a demon or sugary affection alongside bitter angst -- but I've also come to realize I like it a lot inside of my own characters as well. Liking it might be an understatement. It's actually more like I have a terrible habit of making awful men that have some incredibly sweet traits and habits to themselves. Serial killers with a sweet tooth, mobsters that enjoy cuddling, villains with a knack for flowers, or demons that have a soft spot for kids. The strangest thing of all? It isn't at all meant to be any sort of redeeming quality in them. Insufferable, sadistic, downright villainous - you could name them any one of those things and it would fit like a glove so why is it that I tack all of this onto them?

It might be the brain rot, honestly. A bizarre quirkiness that comes from the writer that he just needs to implement into all of his baddies.

On a slightly more serious note, it's almost certainly the fact that I'm enamored with the idea that even someone brutal has a soft spot or a hint of sweetness for someone or something special. I've always said this, but if everything about a story is pure grunge then those moments of vitriol never hit nearly as hard. It may also be the romantic in me that finds some sort of adoration in shoehorning romance into even the most dire, desperate sort of scenarios and stories.

Go figure - the guy whose name is Devil's Temptation has a knack for playing villains, eh?

I have a little bit of a love/hate relationship with the archetype. I love those sickly, dark topics and writing along that morbid edge will never not be interesting to me but I also hate villains because of the fact that I absolutely love sweetness. Open displays of affection, gushing on about flower language after gifting flowers, setting the romantic lead at ease as if there's not one single thing in the world to worry about so long as they're with their special someone, those are all things that I love reading and writing.

Oh well.

It might be why I gun my request threads down within a few days of posting them. It's a cycle. That itch for sugar starts to overpower the craving for bitter coffee. Sometimes one rolls over the other. One month I might want to write the most hard-lined criminal in the world and the next, I am feasting to write some soft-hearted fella with a big grin and a knack for being a cutie. I wonder why that is?

Is anyone else like that? Just being so into two widely opposing themes that seem like they would never be able to coexist but somehow, in some way, you feel that they do actually go quite well together? I'd love to know.

For the folks out there that are like that, honestly... I hope you can have your cake and eat it too. I happen to be blessed with some incredible partners that let me do exactly that. <3

Anyways, that's my rant over. Thanks for tuning into my TED talk about mixing two things that definitely don't go together. I'll see you next time!

...Maybe not. Gotta see how I feel on the next week.

Here I am, back again.

This one won't be nearly as long. Guess I'm making banners for all my entries now, huh? I might get a little lazy on those. Or just break it down to four. Either way, the cat with the mug on his head up there is a little too good to not use. Anyways, without further adieu...

Ten years and this still hits hard as ever. There's something awfully romantic about this version. Whether it's the way the music softens and the piano kicks in to create that 'moment' or how this entire piece is just one big allegory for the entirety of this aesthetic, both the movie and the book -- glitz, glamour, and a deeply sad existence.

Anyways, I have no clue whether this is just me craving a roleplay in the Roaring Twenties/Prohibition era or if I'm just fawning over Lana Del Rey's music. Simplest answer is that it'd probably both. Anyone looking for gun-toting mobsters, speakeasies dates, or a new-wealth businessman loaded with shady money? Settings like these tend to be a little too novel though. Oh well. I'll toss a net out if the urge hits any harder.

One thing I do know is that I dream of the day the studio drops this version of the song officially.
Until then, old sport!

I have an absurd amount of visuals that either never see the light of day or I just use once and then blast them off to the void. Might toss them up here instead.

Probably not, tho. That being said, I wanted to keep this entry for some of the request thread ideas I had but haven't gotten around to doing (yet?) - anyways, enjoy for anyone peeking in. Hopefully it spreads some inspiration, if nothing else.

Happily Never After: I was imagining a dark fairytale/fantasy themed request thread. Potential bad end included? Anyways, something, something grimdark twist on the fairytale aesthetic. Most of the ideas below are bastardized versions of actual fairytales.

➤ Little Red, but she's actually a huntress that ends up in a darker romance with something she's trying to exterminate. Whole lotta feral, wild hate-fucking and general disgust in a taboo relationship that turns into something far more substantial.
➤ Ostracized village girl makes a deal with a faerie, ends up in a contract with a demon and ends up as a witch forced to live in obscurity. Corruption, mind breaking, all around bad-ending is ripe in this one.

➤ Pinocchio twist, skilled toymaker makes a clockwork girl indistinguishable from a regular girl. However, she needs to be constantly wound up by a key on her back in order to continue living. Her father ends up passing away and so she's forced to cling to a traveling wandering to stop herself from timing out and dying permanently.

Enigmatic: Mystery-themed request thread, something along the lines of either a murder mystery or something in a similar vein. Investigators, spies, serial killers... you get the idea. I'm a huge fan of dramatic twists and turns. Honestly might even turn this thread into a group style story that's more or less a roleplay murder mystery.

➤ Spy vs spy; two operatives under different factions end up in the same socialite party. Maybe one is on the trail of the other, or they just end up running into one another by chance. Flirting, teasing, banter all around... followed by a slow unveil of each other's identity starts to muddy an already flaring attraction to each other.
➤ Writing psychotic men is great. Something about unhinged fellas that are wildly in love with their heroines is delicious. Police investigator x some Riddler type killer, murders indiscriminately while leaving a paper trail of hints behind to help them catch him... or to satisfy his own ego. Investigator is the only one who gets remotely close to him so he becomes fanatically obsessed with her.

➤ Couple burnt out on life orchestrates a grandiose double-suicide/murder at their home about themselves in an attempt to start over elsewhere. However, they're rich and affluent and so the police is constantly attempting to unravel their true status and they're forced to live in secretive obscurity... through potentially shady methods.
k1gVaok.png


Enemies to Lovers: Hate-love dynamics are the name of the game here. I actually love slow-burns but I think they take a very specific type of partner to pull off so I was more so imagining sporadic, very feisty couples who shit-talk constantly for this one. Eventually, all that tension blossoms into something far more intimate.

➤ Neighbors from Hell, metaphorically. They got along when they first moved in, but at some point it turns into an antagonistic match of who can be the bigger piece of shit to the other. They constantly bitter and banter. Couple it with exaggeratedly loud fucking late at night or intentionally petty acts on each other and voila, you get two people that want to absolutely murder each other.
➤ Opposite factions, something like a Romeo or Juliet but they start out at each other's throats. Maybe it's anger from being enamored at one another - the other is a little too charming and a little too attractive for the little nuisance they are. Soon, it shifts to all those late-night illicit rendezvous.
➤ Two characters forced to travel together for whatever reason - maybe it's the apocalypse, maybe they're in a fantasy-style adventure, maybe they're on the same intergalactic route -- whatever the case is, they're forced to cooperate together. Feathers are ruffled, the duo threatens to break up, but they never quite get there. Or maybe they do and they rebound in that toxic, terrible way over and over again - it's a little sweeter and a little more heated every time.

Addicted.

Every so often, I tend to sink my fangs into an experience that I can't get enough of. A show, a book, a movie - usually I can pace myself pretty well when it comes to these sorts of things. After all, what point is there in rushing an experience? Sometimes, though, it feels like that choice isn't there at all. One day I am at the start, by the end of the week I am drowning 170 chapters into something. Anyone else get obsessed like that?

Anyways - here's the topic of this lil' entry.






A Japanese manga that is about - you guessed it - climbing mountains! ...But also so much more. There are so many things I could say in the realm of glowing praise for this story. The art is gorgeous, to start. If there was ever an instance of a picture is worth a thousand words, this one would be it. Everything from the anatomy of a human being to the colossal, ranging peaks of the scenery are all meticulously built to ensure that the experience of pushing from one page to another is breathtaking. Even that, however, is only miniscule compared to what I really have come to love about this series. The focus is on mountain climbing, but dives much deeper into the psyche of human being and what it truly means to chase your goals even at the cost of everything else that might keep you grounded.

There are some awful, terrible human beings in this series. Deception, greed, disloyalty... all to be outweighed by similar acts of kindness, sacrifice, and raw honesty. Nothing is ever black or white, as it usually tends to be in life. I appreciate that a lot about this series, more than I could dare to put into words. When it comes to writing characters that are awful at their core, I am absolutely no stranger but even I despise the notion of a straight evil villain. No one in this series is like that, even the most foul individuals.

In a lot of ways, The Climber is both a journey for the protagonist and the reader themselves. Just as the protagonist falls for the call of the mountain, there is a sense of craving your very own fulfillment. Your own climb, so to say.

Anyways, I would fully recommend this to anyone that has interest in seinen manga or just in general enjoys metaphorical and introspective series. Fair warning though, mountains are terrifying places and this series absolutely does not sugarcoat that fact.




Honestly I would end it right there but there was a little more of a tidbit that I wanted to add in --

Where I had grown up, there were also mountains. The types that sometimes, you would hear from time to time, someone had ventured up them and never again returned back down. Merciless sort of climbs that had never made sense to me as a child. Why would they? What kind of person would vanish several thousands of meters up the elevation of a mountainside just to end up passing miles from any sort of help? Even after reading, I still could not get it. Nature is terrifying, always has been - always will be. Growing up with in a rural childhood you grow to understand that very intimately. There was, however, just one thing that remains fresh in my memories when talking about those mountains that I had come to know as so incredibly hostile.

1707039107234.png Somewhere on the foothills of those wide expanses, there grows this delicate little white flower with the most gorgeous scent. Love, sensuality, grace. It's a flower that can mean many things and it's one I hold very dearly in my heart.

Even though I have zero intention of scaling anything, I lack both the experience and even the interest to do something like that, one of these days I do plan to return back to my home country. I had no intention of taking a trip out to something even more remote like the foothills to see flowers like these but honestly? I think I almost certainly will now.

Nature is wildly dangerous, but it is also wildly beautiful.

For as gorgeously as The Climber captured that duality, I too would love to witness it just once in my life.

That's just one more thing to add onto the bucket list! If I ever do end up going, I'll update this journal post with a few pictures. Anyways, that's all I had for now. Guess I'm getting into the habit of updating these journals a little more often, huh? God bless. I get to use my cat header a little more often from now on lol.

See ya' next time!
