Sooo I am slowly getting back to doing a few figure drawings, bc sometimes I forget how body shapes are supposed to work?? 😭

Every time I drop and pick up art again, it feels a bit daunting and frustrating at first until you get the hang of things! Though I think it’s a bit nice to just practice figures without any worries!! I hope this is a year I’ll get to draw a lot :D

#thoughts #it’s already looking a bit busy #since i might have to look into driving and getting my passport #but i’m hoping the time won’t slip away #and that i can enjoy my hobbies like drawing more!!

#poetry #i can think of a few people who this also reminds me of #and it’s quite sad #reblogging bc i often think how they’re doing

Sometimes I forget how planning a story comforts me a lot!

Though I rarely write them down, whenever I am fixated on picking up something from the back of my mind, I feel so immersed in the world. The characters’ lives, their memories, and so forth feel so clear!! I hope one day I can write them down somewhere.

Honestly, I really enjoy reading about Huldufólk in Icelandic folklore and the development of how Yokai were perceived in Japan!

For Yokai: How at the beginning, they were mostly scary creatures but evolved over time to include daily objects and even a handful of cute beings etc. The story of a lot of Yokai demons range anywhere from silly to fortune-bringing to ghostly terrifying. One I find interesting: Zashiki Warashi, often the tales of why things go randomly missing in one’s home. They’re a playful pair of prankster twins messing with you — but in turn, provide good luck. And another one, commonly referenced: Yurei, the ghost of a deceased woman. The imagery of long black hair from before a burial, entirely pale, white robe all the way down, and the horror element is quite something.

Huldufólk stories on the other hand are so whimsical and fun all-around! Simply about invisible creatures who look + live a lot like humans — yet are generally unseen to your everyday person. Especially the tales that say if you see a rock in Iceland, to leave it alone, as it may be a Huldufólk’s home.

Edit: I also remember seeing somewhere that Huldufólk appear in Faroese lore too! I haven’t read about the Faroe Island side of things versus the Icelandic, so I may have to look into it!!

So many different lores are very interesting and pretty good inspiration for storytelling too!
