Beautiful Disaster - Jon McLaughlin
She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She's just the way she is
...But no one's told her that's okay.
*HUGS AND CONSOLES*
Thank you though!
And then later. Much, much later.
And then later, I come back and observe it in length and listen to the song and read everyone else's comments and just...SOBBED. I just sort of lost it at the bruises, especially at the placement at the neck and the wrist. And I'm getting an inkling of what I think her story may entail and it brought back some bad (and unfortunately, still relatively recent) memories.
The song really does add more depth to the understanding of this piece. Also reduces one to a huge pile of FEELS. Just...wanting to love so much...even...if it hurts.
Oh God, I just want to cry.
I get the feeling that Stella and Gale's story is going to hit home for a lot of people, which I think is important because it will resonate with a lot of people as a story of hope despite...well, everything. I apologize for being vague; I'm kind of a babbling mess of mental incoherence.
I'd really like to thank you for drawing this. It's not only beautiful and really shows a lot of your skill visually, but is also really emotive, which I adore and makes me even more anxious for Stella's story.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm both so sorry that it stirs still-tender wounds, but I'm also really touched that you can feel it. I want to do all I can to realistically express these kinds of issues and then show the incredible healing process/strengthening afterward, because Stella is so much stronger than she realizes, and so are so many people that experience this same thing, just never seeing it in themselves. StellaGale's story is definitely a lot more mature in nature, in experiences and lifestyles, but the core issues can reach absolutely anyone... and that's why I have to do it.
Aanndd there's my return of babbling.
But argh Bee I love love love how you've pulled off the half-half contrast. It's like just cover up half and you get gorgeous Stella looking all together and kinda alluring and then your heart breaks when you see the other half because she's suddenly not but omggggg bruises ;~~~;
I feel like I'm going to spend most of their story huddled in a corner crying and trying to console myself that it ends wellTheir story is so fucking *SOB* but the amount of love poured into these two newly-wed style lovebirds will probably make up for it tenfold I promise
She's bruised. Bee, if you guys have thought up what I am thinking up about Stella, then I am going to sob when her story comes out. All I want to do is take her home, run her a nice warm bath, give her a blanket, make her some nice hot cocoa, and give her a cuddle while we watch chick flicks. She's so beautiful, but she obviously has so much to deal with, poor love.
I love it, but at the same time I can't look at it for too long. Powerful, but terrible. Kind of like those pictures you see of starving children on the UNICEF website. Poor baby. Please give her a happy ending, Bee. She deserves it, I think.
(By the way, beautiful song)
Ahhh, I hope what we're generally feeling out for her story isn't too overwhelmingly close/far off from what you're thinking... X///x; She'll definitely get that warm bath, blanket and coco, and so many much needed cuddles
I don't blame you for not being able to look too long, I get the same way with a lot of personal pieces for my OCs like this. I just end up feeling too much for them, like a parent///;
She will definitely get that happy ending. She's a lot stronger than she knows.
God, poor love. This is killing me.
WHY DO YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF, BEE?! *sobs* Poor babes.
Good, she deserves it <3
<3<3<3<3
(How do you do those huggy things?)
Ahaha, you cutie! Huggy things!
(I italicized the colons)
Those are the ones I usually use off the top of my head anyways...
