“She’d laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have.”
I animated the scene from Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows where Kaz is remembering Inej’s hair blowing in the wind and has some ~feelings~. The animation is a little clunky but you get the gist.
A message from the prophet followed me down/ into the lovely wastelands that lay underground. /Pre-written destination, send me through the sky/ I’ll inherit the fragments of truth left behind.
the art I’ve done for @viinas‘ amazing new song, ReWrite. When I first saw it I legit cried, yallz, it smacked me over the head with how much I love this boy.
Just reblogging this again because I can share the beauty of AJR’s music with more people in the world

“They wanted heaven from me // I gave em’ hell // Now they want something bigger // I’m overwhelmed”
This song is one of my favorites. I relate so much to it that it hurts. Finale is about struggling to meet expectations. Giving it your all and then others want more.
“Can you wait a sec? // Let me catch my breath? // Let my catch my- // I can’t remember how I got here”
I’m tired too. But I have to keep going. I don’t know if I can keep on going at the pace that I used before.
It’s funny how we don’t recall much of our early memories. And how we got to where we are today. Most of it is just a blur.
“If it’s my final album // And if I am forgotten // I hope I made you smile // That’s all I ever wanted”
I often feel that I’m trying so hard to prove myself and I don’t know if I have. While AJR is talking about their success with music, I’m talking about my path forward. Will I ever be enough for the people that count? I don’t know.
Those last lyrics correspond with something deep inside me. I’m scared of the future and I don’t know what’s going to happen. Am I going to burn out? Am I going to lose myself? Is everything suddenly going to halt to a stop?
At least I know that this song will be there for me. Always. Thank you AJR.
