Strawberries and Darkness

Valentine's Day

Interviewer: So Everyone, what are your thoughts about love?

Avis: Love is a fascinating puzzle.

Shard: I try not to think about it much.

Peregrine: I used to care about stuff like that.

Thrush: What Peregrine said.

Cliff: Love is a luxury...and I can buy it.

Auklet: Love is something I wish to have more often.

Dusky: Love is life, m-making someone feel unloved and unwanted is one of the worst things you can do to someone.

Bumblebee: Who cares about love this and love that, VIOLENCE is my expression of support and compassion!

Venuswing: Why are we doing this?

Drytail: Love is a scam.

Berrybush(not dead): It feels great to be loved. I wish Peace could...share my love for him...with me.

Sludgesnout: It's a distraction, it doesn't benefit anything in survival.

Berrybush: It's not all about survival, we're in a nice, safe place!

Sludgesnout: That's weird. Then why did we die?

Clawslasher: Love can be the worst thing and best thing to someone.

Peacemaker: Love is basically a bunch of chemicals in your brain that triggers a feeling of attachment to someone, eventually leading them to reproduce and continue the population in nature. Humans, animals, and dragons all follow this necessity to thrive and survive. Thus, this could also mean that the concept is fake as it's not something we feel but just what our brain tells us to react with.

Avis: You are becoming more and more like me every day, I've never. Felt. More. Proud.

Mink *leaning on Peacemaker*: Er...love is something I wish I could feel every day. I think it's possible, as long as I have someone like Peace on my side that is.

Peacemaker *sighs and smiles*: ...Glad to know I make you feel that way.

Dear Readers,

Tragedy can often be inevitable. All it takes is a little push on one side and both dominos fall and crumble. Second thoughts can occur when one sees the other at their worst and it could easily snowball into the realm of toxicity and loathing if nothing changes.

However, I suppose keeping that negative mindset all the time isn't healthy. I believe it's better to enjoy the moment with anyone you care about because one day in the future, there's a good chance you'll look back and wish you could go back to those hopefully happier times. A lot wish for that and trust me, there are times I want that. To turn back the clock, to avoid moments from changing, to keep everything stuck as it is similar to the chapters in Peace and Its Shadow. But I suppose that can be childish thinking as we have no control over time and it'll continue to march on whether we like it or not.

Even if you're aware that eventually, moments are going to change, people or dragons you knew are going to grow up and possibly go on without you, just remember that even if it can't happen ONE day, all you need to care about is that TODAY isn't the day. So enjoy your moment of love, whether you think so or not, I believe you've earned it.

Love, Your Truth Seeker, Avis

Darkstalker FUCK LOVE.

I know it's been a while...a long while but I haven't been offline entirely because in case you didn't know, I draw a lot and post it on my Tumblr(though typically not Wings of Fire-based)on Pancake404. So feel free to check it out.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Everyone!
