hello ! happy holidays if u celebrate!!! i almost never leave comments on any social media and made an itch account just for this like 20 mins ago so apologies if this isn't the right place to say stuff i have no clue how this works;; i will delete this post if asked! very long message (sorry) to the dev below:

this game has made a huge impact on me. i had pretty much completely given up almost all my hobbies to focus on my studies in the past couple of years; all of my free time has been dedicated to academia and it's resulted in a lot of brain fog for anything not related to an upcoming quiz, test, module, etc... i didn't feel like a person anymore but justified it with thinkings like 'i can be myself again when i've made a better life for myself' or 'i shouldn't waste time on temporary things that make only me happy when my family is relying on me.'

when this semester ended i downloaded this game on a whim thinking it'd be something that would let me relax for a few hours and then i'd get back to the grind. unfortunately (or maybe fortunately..?!?!) i use video games as escapism, especially when they let u self-insert LOL ... i had a passing thought that if i really was in this world, i would probably have time to pursue my hobbies again and not feel guilty about it, partly because my college would simply not exist but mostly because everyone in the cast is so nice to the TO and has their back regardless of what they choose to do, like a supportive (found) family. very silly thought but it kept crossing my mind. it inspired me to pick up a pencil and draw for the first time in over a year. it made me play the piano for the first time in even longer. i am very clearly out of practice and everything i make turns out a little wonky but it was like you often say in your youtube videos, i enjoyed the process. i literally could not stop drawing, i was having so much fun. i went to sleep at late hours, excited to wake up again to continue creating. it's so weird how i'd forgotten how passionate i was about these things, it was really like opening my eyes for the first time again ㅠ

the things i've been drawing have also been exclusively ADW-related LOL;;;; the cast of characters in this game are all so lovable and have beautiful designs (i was so surprised to see beisel wearing 저고리 during the bonding conversations... she is korean to ME..). i fear they will be living in my mind palace forever .... i haven't gotten around to playing them yet but i'm really looking forward to trying gacha date and villain's heart as well!! deita i'm ON MY WAY ! ! ! !

i think going forward i'm going to try to be less hard on myself and give myself time to do things that i enjoy. i want to try to live happily in the present as well as the future, not sacrifice one for the other. thank you dev for changing my mindset and helping me find myself again ^_^

as a thank you to anyone for reading this far ... merry christmas ! i'm actually so embarrassed to post this LOL but from what i can tell lor is a fan favorite.. so he has been appointed the duty of being the christmas gift . sorry king. he will be under every TO's christmas tree in 2 hours amen

WHY IS THE IMAGE SO BIG...... if thirst trap lor takes up ur entire screen i'm so sorry

Hi sparkqi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to sign up for itch.io and share your thoughts and experiences. A lot of what you said about your situation reminded me of when I was in my young adulthood (like my 20s) and I put alot of pressure on myself and sacrafice a lot of things to pursue my studies and then my career. I kept thinking that it would all be okay when I was able to find work my art field, and then it would all be okay once I found more success ect until I woke up one day in my late 30s and tired of constantly having cycles of burnout and depression. I thought it was a part of my personality, but i realize now that I'm just one that needs true time to "idle" or explore my passions for passion sake. I think it's possible to find a good balance between responsibility and self pursuits, but its not always easy and often this balance need constant adjustments. Its very worth it though and I believe you can still move forward in both your studies and your love of arts. Remember to always be kind to yourself as you would be to others. Rooted in kindness will always be when a person can really shine and do their best while thriving. There's far too much unnecessary shame in this life.

On another note, it's wonderful that you felt some of the underlying and overall feeling I was going for the core of this ADW game. I'm so glad you found it.

Oh, oh about your comment on Beisel! Beisel is a bit of my impression of the strong, cool noona or eonni type character! Though Beisel is the younger sibling, I think she really wants a younger sibling to protect and impress. Ah, and I'm not raised culturally Korean, I do read some Korean webnovels and comics and I like to nod to things that I'm inspired by and interested in. Most of the costume designs take from a mix of fantasy western and eastern ideas. I think the jeogori looks very distinctive and pretty and I'm surprised I don't see more fantasy design inspired by it.

And Awwww thank you so, so much for the artwork! Please don't be embarassed at all, I really love it! You really captured his soft boy energy <3

Best wishes and Happy Holidays~

i'm so sorry for the late reply i got too anxious/embarrassed and refused to look at my laptop for the rest of the day after posting LOL

thank you so much for reading what i had to say and for your kind words, it really means a lot to me ㅠㅠ.... it's comforting and inspiring to know that there are other people who have/had the same mindset and were able to persevere. a lot of what you just said resonated with me and i'm really so happy that it seems like you've found balance and peace in your life (or at least are on the path to doing so ! we can walk it together ^^). you're also very right about remembering to treat ourselves kindly and i'm grateful for the reminder. it's easy to neglect your wants and needs when you're so focused on something else, but i'm hoping with time such habits will be able to be broken. i hope that you will also always have a support system to make sure you're okay as well ... i know we are only strangers but i'm cheering for you on the other side of the screen ! fighting ^_^

ahhhh i thought you might be korean too!! 한국어를 할 줄 아세요? seeing what you said , i think you wrote beisel perfectly for what impression you wanted to give! she's a bit mischievous like a younger sibling but also very caring and doting in the same way a '누나/언니 figure' can be. her differing sides of chivalrous and teasing are very cute and endearing, she's probably my favorite of the main cast !! speaking of siblings, beileph also felt very strongly like an older brother/male figure... he reminded me of some of my relatives HAHA a bit awkward and focused on work/studies but you can tell he puts in effort for those he cares about and has a warm heart. you say you're not culturally korean but you totally captured the vibe of a korean office worker so you still win there ! LOL

i completely agree with what you say about 저고리 as well!! i often see traditional clothing like hanfu and kimono in designs, but almost never any 한복/hanbok... so when i saw beisel i was truly clutching my heart!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT;;;; I'M VERY GRATEFUL ! ! ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ^^

Hi sparkqi,

Yes, even if we are strangers, I still think people can support each other! I remember when I first was going online when dial up internet was a thing and stuff was not to commercialized, bot ridden and algorithmically driven. Back then it was a very welcome place for someone like myself that didn't really fit in with most of the people from my small home town. I still think the internet is good for a lot of things for people like myself that have kind of niche hobbies and ideas to find like minded people to share with. I'm thankful to itch.io that it still feels very 'human' and there can still be friendly conversations and encouragement. Imagine what it would be like if social media stopped pushing outrage, shock and anger? ah, not all of them do, but I'm thinking of a few very popular ones. *cough cough* I hope that I can help to be a part of a more supportive community and just enjoy being online and conversing with respect and caring.

Sadly, I don't actually speak any Korean. I was adopted in the early 1980s and back then people didn't know about adoption trauma, or the challenges of being transracially adopted. I grew up without knowing much, as back then most of my classmates couldn't point to Korea on a map even when in high school. Nowadays I see younger people watching kdramas, listening to kpop, and learning Hangul and I think how much things have changed since I was a kid! I didn't learn about anything Korean, until I moved to NYC for college and made some second generation American Korean friends. Beisel and Beileph are inspired as an outsider looking in, but still it makes me feel good to know they resonated with you!

Wishing you the best! And please keep some excitement, whether it be drawing or other leisure/passion! Looking forward to waking up each morning, I wish we can all feel that way most days~ I think that is what it means to love life, even though there is lots of hardships and suffering.

ah i wasn't around for when dial-up internet was used but i definitely agree with the sentiment that most social media platforms and many parts of the internet as a whole seem like they've shifted their focus from being places to find communities to what is essentially a competition to see who can achieve the highest numbers/engagement/etc.... compared to even 5 years ago it's a bit scary to see how much of it is now just bots/AI, and it's very easy to start 'doomscrolling' !!! but i think you're right in how itch.io seems more welcoming than most platforms, perhaps because the target audience is a bit different or at least more specific...? it's much less daunting knowing that what someone posts will likely only be seen by people who share the same interests ! it seems like you've also fostered a very kind and respectful community in general; it doesn't feel as intimidating or cliquey(?) as some others might be . ^_^

ohh i see ! it sounds like it must have been a very difficult and strenuous experience growing up. of course i can't fully relate to your situation, but i know how mentally taxing being outcast from your peers is, especially during such a time when your brain and emotions are still developing/maturing. it's really amazing you were able to find solace online ! ! also yes HAHA i remember when i was growing up too a lot of people didn't know about korea. i think it wasn't until 'gangnam style' and bts was formed that people started to take more of an interest in our culture LOL;; i'm also very happy for you being able to connect with your heritage a bit more when you entered college!! i don't think being unable to speak a language or being disconnected from their culture makes someone outside or any 'less' of their ethnicity than someone who had the resources or privilege to do so. it just means they had a different background/situation, but in the end we are all the same ^^

i hope for you to be able to wake up and find a reason to smile each day too. thank you for taking so much time to talk to me ;; i was really shy to post and went back and forth on it for a couple hours but at the end i'm happy that i managed it! i hope your days in the future are gentle and kind to you and your loved ones, and that your 2025 is very very auspicious ! ! !

Hi sparkqi,

I'm so glad that you decided to post. I'm a pretty shy person irl too, and it takes me while to safe in opening up in a deep and meaningful way. For that reason, it's a easier to communicate through stories, art and games. Also alot ideas I get excited to talk about can be kind of niche and dense in nature, so it's not often I can find people irl who would want to spend the time to discuss such things. Hmm, it probably shows since I'm also terrible at writing/creating short stories/short games ect. I appreciate the time you spent playing this, LOL. And yes thank you! Even when I have a hard time in life, it passes and every day I enjoy something. I love my morning coffee and afternoon tea. (That's why I chose the name Coffeedripstudios, I'm a caffeine addict XD;;;) It's been a few days, so are you still excited about waking up and exploring your art and music? For me, inspiration can go in and out like a tide so I remember these kind of exchanges and think of them often. I hope its okay, but I printed your artwork and added it to the wall on my office because it also brings me joy every day greeted by lovely artworks when I punch in my timecard. Thank you so much again and best wishes~!

hello !! i like how you write each reply as if it's a letter, it feels like writing to a 'pen pal' LOL it's comforting!!

that's very very understandable !!! i feel it's difficult to find others irl who share common interests that are deeper than a surface level 'i like <broad subject>,' and it can be a bit awkward and discouraging to talk about or even broach the topic of your passions to an audience that you can tell isn't particularly interested ;;;; in turn , i appreciate the time you spent making this (along with all your other projects) !! the effort and care you put into your work is abundantly clear and i had so much fun playing. i actually started a new play-through because i want to see what happens if i side with the royals rather than ashur and co .!! the world you have created is so interesting and i want to explore it while i'm still on break HAHA

i'm really glad to hear (read..!?) that there is a constant in your life that can bring you happiness ^_^ i love tea too!! also yes i still feel exciting !! i'm having lots of fun revisiting my hobbies, and really hoping my next semester won't be too difficult so i can still make a bit of time to do the things i enjoy. i think deita's design is very charming and find myself doodling her in my downtime ... and omg !>?!??!?! ㅠㅠ it is an honor... i hope lor spreads holly jolly christmas cheer to your workplace every day ....

coffeedripstudiosDeveloper7 days ago(+1)

Hi sparkqi,

I have a lot of fun drawing and animating Deita's hair. My copy editor says all the lines in her curls looks like work to draw but I sort of just zone out like when I used to doodle abstract shapes during class lectures. LOL. it's kind of relaxing. Did you know that doodling helps memory and concentration? I used to get in trouble in class growing up, so I hope that's not the case anymore and that more teachers are aware of the science backing up pro-doodling habits!

Now that you mention it, I'm curious to know what major route players will choose first (Olds Ones or Crown) and if that will have an influence on their understanding or sympathy with certain characters, as I think some players who played Villains Heart before the main ADW can also have an influence on the players interpretation of events in ADW.

Can I ask you what made you decide to side with Ashur and friends?

Can I also ask if you decided to romance bond any of the character/s or if you will choose a different romance route on a second play through?

Tyvm and I hope you enjoy your break! <3

sparkqi7 days ago(+1)

oh yes i learned briefly about that in a psychology class i took ! i used to get in trouble for it on occasion, but after entering high school and college the teachers stopped caring about it as much. i guess as long as it seems you aren't struggling in the class they don't mind...!? deita's hair is so pretty yes!! her white bangs as well make her design very distinctive and fun ^_^

i'm sure that the royal side has its reasons and motivations for acting the way that it does (and i'm excited to find out !), but unfortunately i did not feel particularly inclined to support them after they threw us into the dungeon , put the lives of innocents at brookhaven at risk during the first battle, and tried kidnapping us LOL;;;; i will never forget jeth killing those poor animals during the kidnapping

please correct me if i'm wrong but , my understanding of the old ones' side is that they just want to live their lives with their friends and the consequences would be so far into the future nobody for generations would even be affected ... i don't think anyone deserves to suffer for simply wanting to live, so it wasn't even a debate in my mind

ashur is also extremely soggy and that won me over LOL i love characters that are a bit of a loser... also EVE ! ! ! she is so cute and i'm truly devastated i couldn't romance her even if the age gap would be diabolical 💔 the next best option was supporting her in war so naturally i did what i had to do

i romanced beisel (nobody is surprised) in my play-through ! ! ! ! for the play-through i'm doing right now, i'm not sure .... all of the cast is so likeable (and at least a little pathetic .... very important characteristic to me LOL ....) that i might just go for whoever's materials i get first to make the pendant haha

thank you !! i hope you enjoy the rest of this weekend ^^ ! !

HAPPY NEW YEAAAARR!! hehe :3 (ıdk ı just love showing up in here when ı feel like there is a room for me)

OMG ım so happy the DW game's community is growing lol XD and ım soo happy that this game had good impact on you :3

Oh ıts amazing that you can draw and make song ! these are wonderful skills (sorry ı saved the lor fanart... definitely ended up in my fav fan art folder :3 oh but ı can delete it back ıf you dont want to ;w;) and soo happy that you started to use them again no matter how ''wobbly'' they are ım sure they are amazing (you cant tell me otherwise this Lor fanart is too perfect to call otherwise an dım sure same goes with the music).

oof university is hard.. ı just finished filming and preparing detailed lesson plan for my micro teaching class and all preparations took my one months and even with that ı had to work to 2-3 am to make things completed since ı had to work on other classes too. but even while burning out ı was keep playing this game (slowly sadly because otherwise work might not be done) and yes ı really love how everyone support Transient one!

maybe a little spoiler: but once you choose a side the ways characters talk doesnt change in big degrees when ı noticed that ı was kinda relieved because they just supported me and acted kind to me regardless ;w; and ı was feeling guilty even tho ı played both sides at the same time lol. The way they kept being same and supportive gave me a huge relief. ı guess this game is kind of healing my side that afraid of being disliked.

And thank you for posting this post here :3 ı always feel happy to see new people around >w< ı hope you will enjoy other side games too!!

oh and ı love Korea yay ^^ sadly ı cant understand much from words but onee-san is something ı have heard before... from manhwas ı guess? but ı am happy you liked Beisel yaayy she is like my favorite female character :3 tho Lor will be my always favoriteee ^w^

Again happy new year ı hope your passionate will keep growing with this new year (dont forget to be careful for your health also!)

sparkqi7 days ago(+2)

HELLO HAPPY NEW YEAR ^_^ ! ! ! ! ! it's very nice to meet you and i really appreciate your kind words!!! thank you for welcoming me to the community it is truly a blessing....

omg i'm really so glad you like the fanart, i literally had u in mind while making it because i saw you comment on some other posts and he seemed to be your favorite LOL i was like 'i must power through the embarrassment of posting for the sake of his #1 fan ...' of course you can save it !! it's an honor haha

and thank you so much for the compliments and encouragement ㅠㅠ that's very sweet of you !! do you create as well ? if so (and if you're comfortable) i'd love to see or listen to some of your work ^^

woaw it seems like you put a lot of meticulous effort into that lesson plan ... it all sounds very stressful but hopefully the end result was one you were satisfied with!!! staying up until such late times is definitely relatable LOL;;; i hope you remember to take care of yourself even when you're busy!

ahh about choosing which side you're on, that's a relief ㅠ i think it would be an extremely humbling experience for the TO if everyone in their guild stopped supporting them based on who they chose to work with HAHA like what do you mean lor isn't going to tuck us into bed and wake us up with tea every night and morning..... truly horrific i would break down

thank you !! i'm happy i posted too and got the opportunity to talk to you and the developer ^_^ i'm very excited to play the side games!!!

you are so wise for liking beisel and lor... the interactions where they butt heads with each other a bit are so silly and endearing LOL i also believe 'onee-san' is actually japanese, but it has a similar meaning to 누나(noona) and 언니(unnie) in that it's a term to address a girl older than you or a sister !

happy new year , thank you for the well wishes ! ! ! i will do my best to look after my health... i hope you do the same!

OMG and here ı was trying to ctach every glimpse of lor picture ı could get by taking screenshoot in the game or downloading art from creator's social medias.. ı cant believe such a beautiful fan art came so gracefully ;w; ım the one who is blessed haha thank you so much for sharing aaaaaa >/////< ım also so honored that someone actually thought of my embarrassing fan girling and drew amazing fanart 0w0 (ım also honored to be called #1 Lor fan ^w^)

Oh ı create but ı dont think they have many flaws... ı usually write poems or write very small stories! I have alot larger and promising stories in my head but ı never tried tow write them because for some reason ı feel like they wont look same as they are in my head and they will be on paper. and ı would love to share thing ı did yaaayy ı always love to get different ideas about my creations so ı would be more than happy to show lol here is my most recent poem :3 (ı got inspired by children lullaby twinkle star so yea ı used similar sentences ) :

''Once upon a time,
In an endless wide canvas,
A tiny star did reside,
Amidst the pure blackness.

Your small light, a guiding flame,
Pulls you from the void's dark claim.
But, afraid of the night’s unknown,
You hid in the day, ignoring your glow.

Twinkle, twinkle, oh little star,
Don’t fear the path that’s out of sight.
It isn’t the night that swallows your light,
But the resistant hesitance of your heart.

When the day’s so full of light,
Your shine fades in the bright.
You can’t see the power of your spark,
Until the dark tests your might.

When the blazing sun is gone,
And nothing else shines upon,
Only then you see your light,
Twinkling through the quiet night

Though the way’s hard to trace,
You wouldn't see your own grace.
Without your tiny, guiding spark,
You'd be lost in the dark.

Twinkle, twinkle, oh little star,
Don’t be afraid to show who you are.
even ıf your light is small and slight,
It will always be with you all night.

Twinkle, twinkle, oh little star,
Up above the world, so far.
With your beautiful shining grace,
You are a diamond in this space.

I also try to draw time to time! but ı cant draw on my own ı can only draw by looking at inspirations sadly ı couldnt draw much this year but ı have 2 Lor fan arts ı struggled so hard to draw good enough lol lemme share them too -w- you may see them on gacha date comments too haha :3

and here is some silly doodles:

awww thank you so much for the comment about my overworking yea even my own teacher told me to stop at some point but ı was in too deep already :') next time ı will try my best to proctect my health too since ım kinda dealing with burn out rn ;w; just like you, ı will do my best XD

nooo ı would be so sad ıf Lor would stop doing thaat ;w; and yea ı was super nervous the times ı choose the old one's side because ı was afraid my guild will abandon me thankfully they didnt yaay ^^

hahahha yea Lor and Beisel seems to have some difficulties about getting along but ı love them both alot !! Ohhh noona it is then sorry ı mix words alot ;w; and thank you for explaining it to me ı was wondering about it since ı saw it several times. and thank you for answering me sorry ıf ım acting too pushy also ı can get excited while talking about this game ^^;;

OH BTW there is a realistic style Beisel fan art in the posts of this main game! ıts called ''ADW doodles'' by SoluneMoon ı think you should also check it since you like Beisel (there is doodle of Lor too :3)

sparkqi7 days ago(+2)

you're actually so real for the screenshot thing HAHAHA i do the same when there's a scene or dialogue that resonates with me... i'm also very grateful for your positive words , i will try to provide more for the lor fan-club when i have some spare time.... my duty.....!!

ahh i can definitely understand your worries on things not turning out the way you imagined them in your head. i struggle with that when drawing but , now that i actually have the time to do it i figure having fun making a 'bad' or 'mediocre' product and slowly improving is better than lamenting where my skills are now and refusing to try in the first place. i hope you can portray those longer stories onto paper and be happy that you did, even if the result isn't up to your standards ! ! if you ever decide to do so, i'd be happy to read what you make ^^

woaw i wasn't aware i was in the presence of shakespeare .... that poem was beautiful ! ! ! ! ! i love how you took a simple concept like a lullaby and turned it into something a bit more mature/refined. the uplifting theme was really nice and rhythm made it fun to read! i could envision what you were describing so vividly . and omg your art style is so cute.... bunny lor is real... your colors are so smooth and satisfying !! i love your lineart on the fourth image and the detail you drew in the eyes on the third one, it's so captivating! these are all so pretty... i am in awe... i hope you can find the time to draw more next year, your style is really adorable and i'd love to see more !

burnout is really the worst ㅠㅠ hoping you can find your spark again soon!!! and definitely listen to your teacher about that HAHA i'm sure they would prefer you to be healthy rather than a 1000% perfect project, especially if they noticed you were struggling a bit...

i love them both too !! and don't apologize, i can definitely see how you could mix them up since many asian languages use such honorifics/terms haha i'm glad i could help! also no need for worry, i don't find you pushy at all and i'm also excited to talk to someone about adw ^_^

BEISEL MENTIONED I'M ON MY WAY ....

JustaOneGirl7 days ago (1 edit) (+2)

Aaa ı would be very happy ıf you would do that haha :3 ofc ı would ve super happy of you would want to draw Lor ^^

Hmm yes ı should try to write my stories into paper.. Who knows maybe they will end up good 0-0 and thank you alot for being ready to read them aww that means alot to mee ;w;

And thank you for amazing compliments on my works yaaay your words nake soo proud :3 ı would love to share more but sadly ots too late here now so ı dont have much time left digging for photos in my galery ıf ı dont decide to stay awake until midnight haha

I would be very happy yalk with you either about the game other topics! I actually had abother friend from these posts lol ı am being social thanks to ADW. Sadly my country banned Discord though so ım not sure what can ı suggest ıf you want to chat with me or we could just keep texting each other in here XD

(I might reply really late to this bcs ıts 1 am here and ı might fall asleep)

sparkqi7 days ago(+3)

sorry for the late reply i was cooking dinner LOL but , ASK AND U SHALL RECEIVE !!!!! i put more effort into this one for u ... here is how i envision lor to look when he says the 'how daring' voiceline:

JustaOneGirl6 days ago (1 edit) (+2)

aaaa angry Lor :3 no matter what emotion he has he is pretty cute to me either way >-< your drawing is really amazing! I cant help but notice how detailed his fluffy hair is 0-0 same goes with eye lashes ^^ he looks super cool!

Aww thank you so much maybe ı could search for my one old small story since ıts the only polished story that ı didnt write for teaching (well yes ı have zero ebility to keep children quiet on engaged myself so ı try fictional stories to do this work for me) ı will share it once ı manage to find it >_<

Ooh ı hope you enjoyed your meal :3 ıts fine for me ı couldnt come back anyway haha

sorry ı kinda did sleep ouch normally ı could survive staying up late but these days ı cant.

sparkqi6 days ago(+2)

HAHA yes i think even if he wears a scarier expression it's still a bit difficult to be truly intimidated by him since we know what kind of person he really is, but i'm sure his enemies on the battlefield would find him scary .... thank you so much for the compliments , i'm very happy to hear your kind words !! i actually struggle with hair a bit but his swoopy(?) bangs are very fun to draw LOL

whooaaw you write stories for your students to read ??! that's amazing i bet you're their favorite teacher !! if i was in your class i would think you're the coolest person ever LOL yes i'd love to read your story if you're willing to share ^_^

thank you i did have a nice meal :-) don't apologize for falling asleep haha it's much better for you to get some rest!! prioritize your health, these messages will always be here regardless !

JustaOneGirl6 days ago(+1)

yes yes true Lor can be very serious and probably people who dont know him enough might step back :3 tho ı think he would also mean his words although he is mostly harmless so thats why ıt makes them intimidating 0w0

as for teaching.... ehhh my level is too hight for them sadly so even they would be interested in stories in my micro teaching video my university prof told me that my level is higher than student's level so they were having difficult time to keep up tho she also said ıf ı try this lesson plan on high level class ıt would give amazing results hopefully ı will try to do my best on that haha XD maybe in future they will love me. ıf ı can be a teacher ;w; things are bit complicated here

thank youu >w< my mind likes sleeping alot so ı cant keep it awake most of the night time anyway ıt only stays awake when ım too stressed for some deadline or exam on the corner x-x

ı actually one little story draft ı once wrote... ı call it draft because ı havent polished it yet alot like ı want to make emotions and thoughts appear more clear thorough the movements but ı havent find a chance to do it yet. though my few friends told me ıts beautiful even in this shape so ı will drop it here too :3 ıts been a while ı showed my stories and poems to someone so ım overly excited haha ^^;;; sadly this is a tragic one but ı saw this one so vividly while listening some sad instrumental song so ı wanted to write it hopefully one day ı will rewrite it in polished version ^^ :

one day in midnight strangely white woman slowly reaching the old home she once stayed in remembering the days with her father while she slowly walk towards she looks at the city street below the hill she is on and remembers the day she was little she watched people who are in night festival and there are many tons of red orange and yellow in the festival lights and fabrics of people's clothes or even decorations on shops she remembers that she wants to attend to festival but her father stops her saying that that place can be pretty dangerous for her and he adds since people dont know them they may be careful around them either then to make his daughter happy he simply teaches her one dance that happens to be played by the dancers in the festival (something close to a ballet) womans remembers the memories and reaches the home. sky having no stars and moon being crescent there is not much light on house which makes unable to tell how big it is but ıts not difficult the say ıts a pretty big house. woman enters in waltz around entrance floor then she slowly speaks ''ıts seems like I have arrived on time as ı promised'' her face expressions are unreadable yet her acts and voice is calm. she slowly takes off her long coat and lights one of the old lambs on the wall her black color dress gets seen as she takes off a ballet shoes off her bag and wears them. after getting it done she puts her other shoes in front of the exit door. she walks into complete darkness until she stands on the middle of the room. she slowly turns around seeing nothing but pith black because of the lack of light. she slowly inhales and exhales before she starts speaking again ''today ı will do my one of best dances ı worked so hard on. ı hope ıt will go well'' she softly smiles to darkness as ıf she waits a response.. in complete silence. she breaths again and closes her eyes slowly doing a bow and starts to her dance she remembers every move of that festival dance she saw on that city.. which also she practised many times in these walls.. she remembers the colors ..red..orange...yellow she also remember how everyone smiles in those colors.. but these were not the only time she saw these pretty colors either... she turns around her gracefully while her movements becomes more and more fast with time remaining her eyes closed.. she remember the time when she saw those colors in this house.. as she was walking towards her home. she remembered the memory a little girl looking at her house with huge Suprise.. she saw these colors wrapping up her house ... red..orange..yellow... everywhere moving lively around the house... a fire... her dance becomes pretty fast.. with her eyes closed she can almost see it again.. seeing everything.. every furniture was swallowed by those pretty colors making a massive scary noise of crackling a girl screams top of her lungs calling out for her father.... scared crying... afraid of those colors getting bigger and bigger she screams.. then suddenly woman falls into the floor as her feet trips over a stone....woman slowly opens her eyes.. this times she was floor clearly and all those black dust she actually swiped everywhere on it. she slowly looks up. a white light coming inside of a house from broken ceiling showing the sky.. she notices ıts already morning.. she looks at the house .. broken black Furnitures fallen over chandelier and tons of many other black ''stones'' once were different things.. she gets up slowly and then chuckles ''sorry ı got ahead of myself.. but ı do still think ı managed the dance very well except the end'' ... '' what do you think father?'' she spoke to complete pitch black mountains of burned wooden poles,marble ,stone and the fallen upper floor..

ım glad your meal was good hehe food is something ı really love so to me people should enjoy it always!

(sorry for the late response;;)

ohh i see , yes i'm sure your teaching style and presentation would be really effective for an advanced curriculum !!! i hope you're able to pursue your dreams and become a teacher even if your circumstances make it difficult, i'm cheering for you ! ! you probably need to sleep so much because you're stressed or busy during the time you're awake and your body needs time to recuperate . it's not a bad thing to need rest!

that story was amazing , even if it's just a draft as you say i think the concept and execution of it were hauntingly beautiful. the night festival you described early on reminded me a bit of lunar new year celebrations, with the warm colored decorations and lights ^_^ i was able to envision what you were talking about really well, and the melancholy feeling of the girl dancing alone in the dark was very clear. i also like how the story progressively got more intense and overwhelming before ending on a quieter, somber note again . the constant changes in mood and emotion alongside the non-linear story structure made it very compelling to read and the contrast between the bright colors of the festival/fire and the monochrome black and white of the girl made them stand out from each other that much more ! ! ! this was really lovely to read, thank you for sharing it with me !!

Hi JustaOneGirl,

Thanks so much for sharing! I really love your take on twinkle twinkle, it feels more 'humanizing' to the idea of behind the original concept as an allegory. Like rather than just putting the star on a pedastal, it's reciprocating. Very sweet TT.

aaa thank youu ıt makes me so happy that you liked it ;w; in my mind ı actually thought little star as a person and the shining light they have as a potential they have while they face the ''harsh /dark reality'' and since they get confused or maybe afraid they try to return the daylight which is their comfort zone since they are afraid of reality.... this topic is something ı struggled alot and saw few people do the same and somehow in my mind this lullaby and all these thoughts mixed very well into each other :3 ım rather proud of it since ıts supportive type of poem and having feedback for it makes me even more happy >w< yaayy
