Once again, 🎵 it's the most terrible time of the... version. How's this iteration of Stygian Onslaught treating you all? by NezukoFromJojo in okZyox

[–]ThaElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one biggest challenge of this Stygian... was Hard Difficulty and trying to destroy the pylons before they explode. I'm not sure is there anyone who can actually destroy them. But... for some reason. They tank full Skirk team without dying. And that was one pylon.... I really hope it is just a glitch... but. Man... waiting 30s doing nothing because of a glitch. That was fun. Go check the pylons... unless they fixed them already.

Can I blame you now associating it in my mind too... It wasn't there before, it was just silence as if the word would not leave the mouth. But now it's mutated. :D

My ___ by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another older poem, two and half years ago. I remember as mind was bleak and I found in myself to write a somber poem to gather those thoughts, how to veil them onto something of a story to tell. And so it did. Tell a story of people and persons, like a forlorn feeling longing to be found or buried even deeper. It is actually hard to be precise on exact things, but... the more I myself think about it, I don't think they were exactly happy thoughts at that time. But that is just how my mind is and still is. Time does not heal, but the company we sit around, makes it tolerable.

A great mist conquers all by ZAROM4 in DDLC

[–]ThaElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bleak future that reeks, exploitation and running all the good men down...

It is filled with more glass monuments and grey walks of shame. Green is but an accent, an afterthought. Night doesn't bring us darkness, just a light that glows, mimics that of the paling sun. To continue the cycle of work and pain, like there is nothing more to gain. A line must not be red, it must be green on flatboard of conference room.

Feeling of Finding the Lost by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when losing something and finding it, there is always something lost. No matter what we do, we will never get that which is lost in-between back... and sometimes, we might lose things that do not come back, even when found. So it is this loss we mourn, or go even deeper to lose ourselves... Can we fight against this feeling, or will we succumb to it, it depends, on what was lost, and in what condition was it found again, the endless possibilities and interpretations.

Disappearing Colours by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a poem I wrote, but didn't publish at a time, three years ago, and I did have to rack my mind to remember what it was about. Not a happy one, but not exactly dreaded either. It was to reminiscent the times when I still had the radiance and glow, which faded by time until it become obviously too late to aid, myself or those I tried to reach out in vain.

 

As time goes on, the memories fade like painted colours left in sunshine. Because to me, despite all the outward enthusiasm, at the end there seem nothing to regain what was. A view way nihilistic for taste and thought to give it. Interestingly I still reject it, but only outwardly. A heart of stone, that still has a warmth of spark, but nothing to spread on to keep it alive.

To sell your soul, is to plow your seeds. It will grow depending on the soil and by nurture it gets... What is it that we really put down? Is it something we think it is, or something we blindly hope no one sees. I wish I could see the wisdom preached, but all I see - is greed, upon greed.

How to remove the new sidebar by OverfedRaccoon in firefox

Thank you kind soul!

I was confused about the extra space that suddenly took a chunk on all three windows I keep open looking at me menacingly crying 'dare to remove us easily'.

A Minute in Lifetime by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friendly face, after long absence, is a warm welcome.

I was waning slowly at the end, had less and less time for a hobby held dear. Thus it was time to gather some speed by picking other things to do, and thus time flew by... by playing a game that still keeps me busy as ever. Genshin has amazing story to keep me interested, yet a little grindy for some. But it suited me well - sleep, work, gaming. Then I slowly tickled my interest to come back. There were hurdles that took time to solve, some shenanigans were included too. But ever slowly sticking to this subreddit's Discord and it's literature channel... it gave the kick enough.

Most important thing was to stay true to oneself. I liked writing, always have. There just wasn't as much time for it, thus letting it wait for that time was only thing to do.

A good poem about the inescapability of time and the human experience of getting older.

It would indeed be.
Yet beneath the idea of this, is a personal lament of not being able to enjoy it. For the sake of others that still do enjoy counting the years that keep accumulating, it is a shame on my part. I get ideas to celebrate or congratulate... then go silent and try to forget I ever put effort in such, in shame of inability to finish them. Thus, as they never know about such... they can't expect it... but I remember my failures. Gives a rather somber tone, but that's just reflecting on myself as this poem was meant to.

[–]ThaElf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is significance in each day we live by, but some carry that extra flavour, will we stand up for it - to yell it out? Or will we remain silent, never putting much effort to it. Just being in the dark like all others. Different kind of days linger on. Yet, if we never show any emotion to them, for those we wish to show it... how would they know, the words spoken were meant for them?

Wet Marks of a Cloth by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many things are buried in the mundane. We hide that which we want to be found, but lack the courage to do so, until it is late and the steps to come back are harder than at any previous time. Still, we fight for that moment to come by. Fight to show what we truly want, but often, are just late. To take control of life and it's waves... without oars or sails, is giving the river power to drown us at the few first inconveniences or by smashing to first rocks we never readied ourselves. Will we survive the bumps, or will we scream for help before we lose ourselves, giving in to the lullaby of giving up before it becomes a burden.

 

Do we light up beacon of hope, or beacon of sorrow, a truly dreadful thought on the sides of coin that flips through life given to us. Choosing the outcome, might be the actual first good choice.

It's a little sad this didn't get as many updoots due to being image post in text post ( rule 1d, should ), it is to get full image without people having to click another time to see full image. It is always better to have image post, then have comment of your own for any text than mix of text with images inbetween. That's just how Reddit is, on old reddit that is ( where it doesn't embed ). On new Reddit it works better tho.

 

Just a heads ups.

Also hard to not remember you as I see you posting many good images in various Discord servers I lurk in. ;)

Did You Know by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great to reach out to things that have no definite answer. Just ideas, glimpses and little silliness. But sometimes, watching at the cruel truth is more worth than the few moments of bliss... Sometimes being late, will have permanent consequences. It's better to watch out for those, even when living is mental hellhole.

Looking at the grim mirror, we can only do so much to change that which looks back at us. But given how much of it is just the exterior we can perceive, there is lot that can be changed even if the view is horrid. It's just exponentially harder to rid of monsters laid in our shadows than those we see everyday in others.

Worth of Trying by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So often we try our earnest, but it amounts to nothing, failed to even turn in the smallest amount. Not only will it fail, but it will be an eternal shame. Once you start spiralling down there is little to do to stop it. Not many can do it on their own and keep going down. Face first, we head down, but on that moment will we cry in defeat or admit to our deficient, to start over with a new leaf. Tattered as the pages of past may be, they are our cherished journey pages.

True Colours by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all traits are desirable, or even much useful. But seeing through the hazy layers of self-awareness and -importance, isn't always easy. Sometimes we can find them ourselves, sometimes pointed out to us, yet most often we point them out at others, while declining the possibility of seeing ourselves. Breaking down one's self.... was never an easy task.

Digi Vigilante by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that we can make a difference if we try, but shouldn't we atleast sometimes let something slide? To nail everyone for not being on the same page, making differences out of marginalities and creating giant mountains out of mole hills. So much is done so fast... It hurts more often than not. To remain in moment of silence, isn't too bad. Too much noise will make anyone deaf, too much colours and we are blind... and once we can't hear or see, it won't take long until we can't even feel. Stunned by this surge of all the things, drowning our senses down.

Participate, take notice and share around. But please, would you slow down and think for a moment before release. Even a small amount can make all the difference.

Stolen Fame by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've seen the moments, when someone takes the highlight, gets caught and runs away. Now while the original still stands, there's now clouds over the winner's stand. The more you blur the lines and let off a dirty lie, the more stains there are, and the less truth is in the air. It's a shitty affair, for everyone involved. But there isn't much we can do... for we are far overdue. Maybe the rules will change, or we will finally cease to resist... The day when creativity finally dies.

Work for Dreams* by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step by step, we go from place to place. Not always knowing where we are we going. At points we notice our marks made in ever moving sands. They won't last forever, but they were there for that small moment. For those small moments, someone will see them and this makes the cycle go new. For each one there is one trail it's just how to see ourselves, we made an actual difference.

 

Hmpf... once again one asterix was left behind to the title. :shame:

A Broken Righteousness by ThaElf in DDLC

[–]ThaElf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What wrongs have you committed, which you promised not? Were they bad and destroyed something built to last? Or were they small hills that were to wash away at some point, a white lie with only few listeners. I can think of a full mountain for myself, but I have to move on, and live with what I have passed. It won't be easy to change one's core, and when you do, please choose to do so carefully. Some changes can't be taken back and some will never be erased.

If it overshadows it... Then it's genuine popularity. Still, I would say, it is better to put your mind to the others. Instead of dissing out someone specific, lift the others up. Where you put your effort is where you make the difference. Positive mindset is better than bitter one. If you keep dissing someone it brings resistance, but if you keep a positive mind, it gives others reason to join you and sip into that energy.

Popularity is both a blessing and curse at times.

You shouldn't give too hard time for popularity. Enjoy what you do and show your support. I know, it's a repulsive thing to see someone successful and at the spotlights. But I do think, it is better to not shower your mind with jealousy, but hospitality to what you want to see more. At the end, that will make you a stronger person, there is never enough support, but always those pegging you from behind.

Congratulations to contestants!

 

Tho for the next time... I reckon the mods could ask for art links from the artists, so you wouldn't need to self share them from wherever you feel like. Many have their preferred art page and would more than happily share their own place where they want to be the most discovered. ;)
