The Original Image

Creator Note:

We're breaking the Wordless rule with this dual purpose post. The image was chosen and the Haiga was created in honor of a young friend of Cheesy's son, who lost his four year old son due to an anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting nearly a month ago today.

Some wounds never heal, and anyone who tells you that you should "get over" certain things is callous, ignorant, or both. With certain losses, the only thing we have found to be true is that you don't get over it, although given time you get used to it and the grief becomes less raw. 

~Opal and Cheesy~

Thalia and Cheesy hope that no-one will brand this girl using the awful label "tomboy." Girls can be active and adventurous, imagining themselves swashbuckling pirates or brave heroines. Boys can be quiet and bookish. Some people are both--like the crew members of Ye Goode Shippe Netherworld!

Note from Cie:

This was the most challenging of these images to date. I wasn't satisfied with the color of the text, I wasn't satisfied with the arc, I struggled with it for quite some time. I am not a professional artist. I hope it does Adam's Haiku justice.
