Small grave, big grief
Added 2025-01-23 19:31:08 +0000 UTCAs I was explaining here, Raha's curse means that she would outlive her daughter - and, eventually, she did. I just didn't know until what point, but my original idea was that Gabi didn't make it too far and was killed while she still was a kid (it's horrible, I know D:). That was one of the biggest things that made Raha THE Raha: when you're already unstable due to being a werewolf, a great loss like that (which is already extremely horrible by definition) just becomes a point of no return.
Raha had to make her a gravestone.
Well, at least they did have some nice years together

I still choke up over each of my fur babies. Flea is my last and I got him as a kitten in 2006. He’s 19 now and I cherish every moment of his peculiar personality. I’ll weep more tears for him than any human Ive ever known for his love is pure and unconditional for his cat daddy.

2025-03-28 04:07:36 +0000 UTCShe passed about 7 months ago, so it's been easier. But like grief of any kind, some things will suddenly bring up happy memories that make us miss her. Like that freaking comic *sniffle*. Thank you.

2025-01-27 14:08:24 +0000 UTCI'm really sorry about your cat. It's like losing a friend. I have a comic dedicated to it here https://www.patreon.com/posts/dedicated-to-my-100240282 It's going to be easier to deal with eventually, but for now just let yourself grieve

2025-01-26 15:28:13 +0000 UTCOur cat died a few months ago. Not the same as a flesh and blood child, I know, but we felt like this just looking at the little clay rock we had made of her paw print. This piece of art is good at showing what it feels to just sit near what's left of them and wish it was more than just a slab of memories.

2025-01-24 00:27:22 +0000 UTCThere was plenty of time for the antics before it happened. I also didn't set it firmly yet, it just fits Raha's character. And I do feel very bad for Gabi %)))

2025-01-23 21:55:08 +0000 UTCThis is so ridiculously saddddd, my eyes widened as soon as I saw the small grave stone and I was hoping it was someone else. Rough times

2025-01-23 20:12:39 +0000 UTCNow I’m choked up even more…. It’s a reassuring view in a lot of ways but still a hard one. So much emotion here, and no wonder Raha acts like she does so often.

2025-01-23 19:45:37 +0000 UTCThe idea is that we return to the ground - and nourish other lives (plants) with our bodies. So good catch! Glad you noticed

2025-01-23 19:44:55 +0000 UTCI don’t know how to phrase it, but the use of plant life and flowers just add another layer of feeling to this. It’s as if she’s clutching at them for a reminder of life.

2025-01-23 19:42:08 +0000 UTCYou portrayed her emotions so well 😭

2025-01-23 19:34:13 +0000 UTCIs part of Raha's curse being more or less immortal? Sorry if you've answered this before in a previous post!
