An open letter to a brilliant soul

Adam, It is difficult for me to write this, partly because I know it may never receive an answer. That is all right; none is required. I am not even certain whether writing this will bring me closure. I simply wanted to say something honestly, rather than leave it forever unspoken. The truth is very simple: I wish we could have been friends. I know things did not unfold well. On the internet, on social media of all places, much is lost in translation, I regret the ways in which I may have contributed to that bad impression I did cause. So much can be lost in translation on the internet, especially when people meet one another at uncertain moments in their lives. I know that I may have made, unfortunately, a bad impression, and for whatever hurt or discomfort I caused, I am sincerely sorry. I sometimes imagine that, without my anxiety and the repetitive patterns of OCD, I might have appeared differently to you. Perhaps I would have communicated with more calm and restraint, grace, no ur...

Sketch of the Week! In which the author shows a fanart he made!

WARNING: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM OVER THE GARDEN WALL.

Hello to you, dear reader!! Happy Wednesday to you, and a good night as well!! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and do hope you're having a good day with nice moments!! It's lovely to have you here and it's lovely to be here writing this post! 
Regardless of anything, I'm so happy to be here in November, such a special month, no matter what happens, Christmas season for me is mixed with the winds of the season, is mixed with Thanksgiving season and it's mixed with fall and with what's left of Halloween, everything comes together, such a wonderful experience! I don't care if I'm literally melting here because we're basically in Summer and there's no rain in sight, the sun is so strong you can't go out without sunglasses, and the sky is so blue it's almost annoying. Okaay, I like blue skies, but the heat that comes with it? God, it's sad! I like rain... Some people complain about snow... I wish it could snow here, but there's something I like to say: the day it snows in my city, the Armagedon is happening the next day. Maybe one day I'll be able to visit a place that's really cold and see snow for the first time in my life, maybe even in christmas time, though I'd like to spend my christmas at home, just waiting for Santa, hanging out at the mall, staying at home, lovely stuff, lovely season, I love Christmas, the decoration is stunning. Just everything about it, really. Anyway... I'm just divagating now...
Now I started to think about the month that everything of the late year comes together, and how this bonds well with Over The Garden Wall, this superb show that I already watched more than five times! Today is Sketch of the week day, so I just wanted to share this fanart I did of my favorite character in it: Wirt!


It's not a perfect fanart, I'll definitely do other ones in the future, just inspired in this show, I took some artistic liberties, but anyway, here's my Wirt. And here's the original Wirt from the show:


In the picture from the actual show you can see the true Wirt, with his cone hat (mine didn't have one) and a triangular nose (something I didn't do either) and here he's next to the bluebird Beatrice, one of the characters from the show! This is one of my first fanarts to this show that deserves many, and I'll definitely do more in the future. Some of the changes were made on purpose, others I made because I couldn't do it (for example, his cone hat) and stuff like that. Anyway. I do love him.
A little bit about Wirt, by the way: he's an extremely anxious and sensitive person, who plays the clarinet, writes romantic poetry and loves Interior design. He's extremely insecure and very much aware of his flaws, even when he can't point it out to them properly. He knows he's only a human in a vast and often unkind world, and his realization of that doesn't do him much well, instead inflicts on him much pain. He has major troubles making friends and can overreact a lot. He loves a girl who sees him with kind eyes, but yet he thinks she hates him. Maybe Wirt is an optimistic romantic person, often being naive, even, who constantly forces himself to lower his expectations and his whole existence seems frustrating to him. But he is a happy person on his heart, and even though deep, he's just a really kind and nice teenager with a good heart, even though his mind tends to sabotage him. He has so much potential and as the show progresses we get to see that, not only us, but also himself, maturing majorly on the Unknown and being able to be the major hero of the story. He has a half-brother much younger than him, Gregory, who is like much of what Wirt is not. Like any youger brother, Greg, who is adorable by the way, can be inconvenient and annoying and childish, and they have a brother relationship, but Wirt cares for the well being of his brother, and many of his adventures happen by him trying to save him from any distress. 
I do connect with Wirt in a deep level, I think we have much in common, for better or for worse. I think we could've come really good friends if he was real.
The lovely Wirt and a bit of Over The Garden Wall is what we have for today! What a gigantic text the one I wrote today... wow... if you're still here, thank you! You're the very best! And if you left, well, you won't be reading this anyway, but I think you're cool too! Thank you so much, see you guys next time!
