"...thoughts here...."


November 12th, 2015


Yes, I guess I can say I'm gone now. It's been 4 months and I've looked at this site maybe twice. I have absolutely no desire to go into forest anymore. Herla and my other characters are alive and well, though they don't live here anymore. I'm as happy with them now as I've ever been and feel much more satisfied with my creations since removing them from this place. I used to think that would be hard or impossible and if I left, I'd lose them. I laugh now at that, the best way out is through as they say, and then you wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place.

Health challenges continue, and part of that is minimized computer time since it aggravates my conditions to sit and type and look at screens. After a decade dedicated to digital art, I pretty much exclusively do traditional art now. Loving my Copic markers. It has really helped me to find alternative creative outlets like the Ball Jointed Doll Hobby. Starting to sculpt and sew too.

Please don't leave messages here, I'll be unlikely to see them. If you wish to contact me use the email below.

Please do not ask for any of my pictos.

[[ Sadly I wasn't able to get

[[ Sadly I wasn't able to get on at all this morning, my power was out for at least 5 to 10 minutes and by the time I could get on my mother was awake and had her computer ^^;;;; so that would not have been me. Though I wished I could get on more early so that I could see everyone XD Ahhh well, perhaps another time :3

Herla wore her emotions on

Herla wore her emotions on her face for all to see, but she also was quite keen on the expressions of others, often picking up the subtle shades of their thoughts. Ephiré had always been mostly unreadable, and that had made him somewhat intimidating to her. So when the giant stag gave her the smallest of smiles she smiled back. Warmly. “I only meant…I meant no disrespect if you did not wish to talk of your injury. A lot of stags…would rather not. I would never wish to offend you.” she said, nodding her head demurely. At his curious look, she found herself blushing. She had felt silly and frivolous under his gaze, but he looked at her openly now and without artifice, surprising her further “Thank you,” she said, blinking.

Quad: "My fur is a little soggy, but you looked like you needed someone warm to sit by you...oh geez, I hope that didn't sound wrong...anyway you look wet.

...well of course you'd look wet, it's raining! Ah, I think you know what I mean."

Aww, thanks Quad and Big

Aww, thanks Quad and Big Bunny for keeping Herla warm today. I was only on briefly to enjoy the rain, but at least I got to enjoy it a little bit. Smiling

Aww, poor Herla. D: No Levi

Aww, poor Herla. D: No Levi lovins today. She's too entranced with 6 at the moment.
Really old, fat, snake buddies and all... 8D;

Sorry to bail on everyone

Sorry to bail on everyone tonight. My vertigo is back, and I just can't keep up. Good night! Sad
Uruushou's picture

Man, tonight was crazy eh?

Man, tonight was crazy eh? Poor Sor is very much banged up; he can't even more. Thankfully he has Ciel to keep him company. <3 No worries at all! Have a good night, and I hope you'll feel better! Sad

Poor Sorog! There where like

Poor Sorog! There where like 5 deer at one time, beating up on him! What the heck? Gah, I sure did want to stay. And thanks! Smiling
Uruushou's picture

Gah, right?! I thought so at

Gah, right?! I thought so at first too, but it was after the fact I found out that not only was Levi on his side, but also Jade (the real deer) and Tieff. So I guess, thankfully, they were helping him and Levi, or at least trying to break things up! XD Aw, no worries; things ended anticlimactically. Sor had to plop his butt after a while, he couldn't go on after getting so injured. >_>;

Oh, and also, Sianna revisited Sorog for his response to her proposition. He refused it of course, and she pretty much told him that Herla and Ciel will not be safe from her. He's confident that if he won't be around to fight her off, then others such as Levi and Darcy will. So, if you guys see Sianna, run to someone who can fend her off if possible. Woo, more drama! XD

Hello again, and sorry for

Hello again, and sorry for not continuing our little RP! My muse for it seems to have thrown itself out the window. I'm thinking we maybe can get another one started after Eph (and Herla?) return from their trip? xP

Sighthoundlady's picture

Uruushou: Ah, Sianna is so

Uruushou: Ah, Sianna is so evil, coming to taunt Sorog when he is most injured! Herla is always wary when she sees that doe…she will be doubly so now!

Apeldille: No problem! Don’t worry about it! Sometimes you just don’t know where to go with an RP and I understand that. And this just made me think that since Herla has fallen through the portal I shouldn’t be playing her in forest until she returns. I don’t know however if I’ll be strong enough to stick to that, Argh! Lol >.>

This is a pretty bio with a very interesting character. :3

I know you're idled on Herla

I know you're idled on Herla right now but.

Flammel:
Current thoughts: "I will.. keep you safe while your own protector is away."
Recent activity: Curled around Herla to protect her while she rested in case Sianna showed up.

“Flammel, I’m sorry you where

“Flammel, I’m sorry you where injured because of me…”

((Thank you for looking after her. I’ll be heading to work soon, so sorry if she goes poof.))
Xemi's picture

Oh it's okay

Oh it's okay <3 I just have a second viewer up for him, he's idled, I'm on another durr :B
I just wanted to stick him with her so she can sleep a little easier hopefully. <3

"It is alright, Herla, I don't regret what I've done. I did what I thought was right, no matter the consequences. You escaped unharmed, and for that, I am very grateful. Now rest, get some sleep.. I'll watch over you until Sorog returns, or as long as I'm able."

Lol, the deer Illrose is

Lol, the deer Illrose is stalking seem to have a thing for Herla. >.>
Sighthoundlady's picture

I was just about to ask you

I was just about to ask you if you had any idea who it is, lol. He always leads her to the ruins, paws some graves, then eventually goes down into the pit and disappears. No idea who he is. But he'll stare at Herla and stalk her until she follows him here.
Snowsauria's picture

Haha, no, I don't know who it

Haha, no, I don't know who it is. Illrose was curious of him once since he had the same set as her but since he ignored her then she have later ignored him as well. At least until today, when she decided to stalk him to see if he responded...which he didn't, haha. Hm, strange deer.
Sighthoundlady's picture

Yeah, almost the same pattern

Yeah, almost the same pattern if you follow him.

I posted this when we first met him:

It was almost a daily

It was almost a daily occurrence for a while, being led to the graves by Ghest. My stag Daneth has had some interactions as well. Same pattern. And yeah, I admit, it does sometimes feel creepy! Like, dude, why are you pawing those graves? O.o

Whoever plays this deer is doing a good job staying in character. Doesn't respond to Herla's cuddles or Daneth's rages, lol.

She suprised me today when

She suprised me today when she came to Dampir. I looked at some website and then checked TEF and I saw that someone stands by me xD She is cute ^^ Pity that I couldnt stay longer.

Been meaning to track

Been meaning to track this.

Thanks for the company the other night. Don't be afraid to sit close; I didn't even realize she was following me specifically until I finally reached where I wanted to sit, hahaha.

Dampir: It was nice to get

Dampir: It was nice to get to see Dampir at least for a little while. ^^

Lung: I think your Lacie was running through the forest? Herla was feeling feisty and had to give chase just for the fun of it. Smiling

Yes, Lacie was trying to get

Yes, Lacie was trying to get to the long grass in the birch. She likes to hide there sometimes when she's a Thylacine. (:

She didn't mind the chasing though, she liked it in retrospect. She knew Herla wasn't trying to hurt her, so she just took it as a fun game.
Sighthoundlady's picture

Yeah, Herla couldn’t hurt her

Yeah, Herla couldn’t hurt her even if she wanted to…she’s quite small and has no antlers. But sometimes her feathers can be quite ticklish ^^

Attention! Herla has a New


Attention! Herla has a New Picto!
Yup, it's official, I'm taking the plunge!
I'll change the picto in the rest of the Herla art I've made as I have time, but it's official, Herla will be using her new picto now in forest!

Huzzah! It definitely suits her; I love the old pictos with the swirlies Laughing out loud

Thanks Uruushou, I'm pretty excited about it! Now if I can just get my external harddrive with my full photoshop files to work so I can fix my Herla art. Gah!

Takeshi was a little confused

Takeshi was a little confused last night when Herla kept approaching and circling. He doesn't realize that Herla is Ciel's adopted mother, and he was looking out for his still very young son Ichiro, who was asleep. He was very agitated when Sorog was hovering nearby, he didn't know what was going on. I just wanted to explain any reactions he may have had. I know he invited Ciel over, as did his mate Ochiba, but he was confused as to anything that was going on. Mateo is his friend and he's oblivious to any of their dislike. xD;
Sighthoundlady's picture

Oh dear, I don’t think I was

Oh dear, I don’t think I was aware of who exactly Mateo’s company was. Herla would never want to disturb the couple with their new fawn (don’t think our chars have ever met?) But I don’t recall them doing anything to upset Herla. She was just near hysterical over Ciel going to Mateo, whom she fears and has great distrust for. Sorog was not wanting to fight for once, he was just trying to comfort Herla and make sure Mateo didn’t hurt her.

The giant seemed a little

The giant seemed a little quiet today, tired. He had a few gashes on his sides, his chest. But didn't seem to change his posture. His face was set to, rather grumpy. But each time Herla would look into his direction, he'd give her a slight smile. A nod, sometimes. Things would be fine, and he didn't want her to worry. "Have you been alright, Herla?" He was glad to see her again, she seemed a little tired, like him. But atleast she wasn't wounded. "Been busy, hm?"
Kaoori's picture

She didn't do anything wrong,

She didn't do anything wrong, he was just confused. Smiling He knows of sorog's reputation as a fighter, and a good one too, so naturally he was anxious, as Takeshi's still young. ("But a good fighter!")
He just wanted to make sure nothing happened while his family was nearby. And no, I don't think our characters have properly met at all. He didn't mind Herla, he just didn't know what was going on. Smiling No worries. I just wanted to explain. <3

The little doe had slept

The little doe had slept fitfully that night, distraught over her adopted son’s choice in company that had left her near hysterical with worry. Physically she was fine, just emotionally drained and tired. Finding the giant Irish in the birch, she enjoyed his quite, solemn company, his presence always lending a calming effect on the does’ often torrid emotional states. “I am okay, unruly children making a little grief, but I am well.” she said. She was worried to see that he had wounds though and went to gently clean at them, “What trouble have you found, Gehirn.” she said, a bit of a frown on her features.

((Kaoori, I need to add you to MSN! I’m ))
Mis's picture

"Unruly children? When did

"Unruly children? When did those became of your worry?" He lowered his head, grooming a small pluck of fur on her head. He couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle as she started to clean his wounds. "Don't fret.. Me getting into fights simply means I am still alive and kicking around, don't you think? I decided to defend someone I am not fond of, because I felt he was treated unfairly." He let out a deep breath, one brow frowned down. "Perhaps I am losing my mind. But tell me, what trouble did this child get you into then?" He wasn't aware of her being a mother, but didn't seem issued by it. Ofcourse, he couldn't know it wasn't biological at all.
