The Major Arcana from a Steampunk Tarot - XIII

XIII – Death “The gentle silence of Death takes all your sorrow, transforms it, and gives it back to you as love.” – An ending making transformation possible. ‘How strange,’ thought the soldier. ‘The sky looks more beautiful than I have ever seen it.’ ‘I feel the wind in my hair. My helmet must have fallen off.’ ‘My chest hurts.’ ‘Is it raining? I feel wet.’ ‘Why is everyone so angry? And why are they running?’ ‘Oh yes. We’re at war.’ ‘I need to get up!’

The Major Arcana from a Steampunk Tarot - IX

IX – The Hermit “To see the glow of your own light, go into the dark.” – Retreating from distractions to determine your own truth. “This lamp glows and is powered by your own electricity, and most importantly, your will,” The Master spoke to his Apprentice. “Think of it as your soul in the darkness. The more you are scared, the frailer she becomes. If one is bold, and is strong-footed about her, then she shall shine stronger than the sun. It’s all in your head – but your head is the most influential component or piece we humans have.” “What about those biome

The Major Arcana from a Steampunk Tarot - VI

VI – The Lovers “I could not have made a better choice.” – Making a decision that makes your heart glad. A Tribute to the ‘Dishonored’ game, released October, 2012 The garden was enclosed, nothing was spoken except for the whisper of Sister Wind, blowing the green leaves in a bustling sway. “Look, I know you’re there, dear. Why not come out? Come talk? To a friend?” spoke the first voice, lightly treading the sound waves, as if she were afraid anyone would hear. A sigh came from the bench behind the first Royal voice. It came from a tree, nearest the stone bench. “Wh

The Major Arcana from a Steampunk Tarot - XIX

XIX – The Sun “Dance with me.” “Why?” “Because life is amazing.” – Clarity that brings joy. The masquerade ball was quite extravagant, alright. Already, the clankerton guards were starting to relax, due to the pleasantries of the orchestra, sighing and breathing; the intermingling with the chirpy guests; the way the sun draped through the curtains as it exhaled it’s last breath of the day; and the dubious amount clankerton guards dressed as guests only speaking to each other, free to speak of whatever they wanted to. Only, I could tell easily who they are – a boy that gr

Poem: To my beloved, snow

To my beloved, snow Oh beautiful, wondrous snow, how you touch my nose so soft, the caress of your hands so warm, and upon my brow crease ceased, gentle, your kiss always blows by sister wind, and brother cold. Your face faceted and framed upon a sad cloud, yet I long to mold into a smile, if ever so only I could. I see thou heart swell, aglow in joy, your tears happy and full, as is my heart amiss by your beauty, you seeing my eyes. And now I shed tears too soon, longing for your warm touch, for you flew away too fast, too far, too short a time to kiss your mouth.

I was MIA...

0 min read

To anyone who was my DA friend, or who followed me, I am back! I merely had a little run-in called life where my bank account nearly ran out of money, my car had to be repaired *multiple times* with about $1000 each repair (if not more), and that my mom and my dad decided to split off and "take a break." Oh, and my lil sis is at ECU for Music Therapy (East Carolina Univ, for you non-East Coasters of the US), but she was never much help around the house anyways. OTHER THEN THOSE EVENTS, I've been pretty good. I turned 21 on June 19th, I got a new job, 7am-3pm, decent wages (but I'm considering being a bartender to make up for some shit), and

I CREATED ANOTHER STORY TO MY BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can't tell, I'm pretty estatic about this. As in, I'm more excited about my stories than going to the Washington Auto Show in about 8 hours, then going to a sushi place (parents paying, woohoo!), and THEN going to the Capitals hockey game. However, Today was awesome. I took my Anatomy&Physiology exam - felt confident! And then I treated my girlfriend to Blue Ocean japanese restaurant, then to frozen yogurt, then to Saxby's coffee place. Then watched "Tangled." Then ~WinkyPlz (https://www.deviantart.com/winkyplz). Then :iconzzplz: hahaha. I'd say this is a very good day indeed. Anyways. Sleep time! I feel like

One Step at a Time.

0 min read

I've been on for a few weeks now, and I feel as if I'm just putting my stuff on here for my own personal reasons, when in reality, I put them on DA because I want others to see it. I need some light! I met a few friends before on DA, but now... I'm an artist. I need fellow artist friends to help me with my work. I'd love to help out (and I have been!), but I don't know who on DA I can rely on to mutually comment on my work. And if it's possible, critique it. Yes, I am still in my 'baby steps' on DA, but... Aren't we all? Didn't we all start out with just a headcase full of ideas and very little of those ideas written/typed/painted/photog
