Vampire Hunter D Art: Yoshitaka Amano

Art by David Lynch

you, artist online. somebody has referenced you in conversation irl by your online handle and somebody else knew who you were talking about. somebody has kept up closely with your posts for a period of time like their morning paper. somebody found a music artist because of you, thinks of you when they hear them on the radio. somebody followed you years ago and remembers you randomly even though they can't find you. somebody has screenshotted and saved your posts and sent them in discord servers. somebody has made your drawings their lockscreen, added them to their favorites folder and looked at them when they're going through some shit, has sent them to their best friend and sparked conversation in private chats. your art in particular could be the source of a keen sense of nostalgia for someone. maybe they've even printed out your images using their home printer and taped them to their bedroom wall and they look at it every day and they never even told you. isn't that scary? isn't that awesome? remember this well.

submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known so that you may turn around and see the impact you leave and the light you cast on others.

no one will ever understand you because how could they when everyone is so different from each other and even you, yourself struggle to recall your past thoughts, your emotions and when you reach them they are all blurry and re-shaped and mirror your current mindset; you'll try to make sense out of them but you'll fail because you are moving forward , changing without understanding a single thing about yourself nor others

mizu saying a broken sword fits taigen makes me feel insane- like. she did that sword. she caused that sword to be broken because she was 'impure'. that sword got stolen by a liar. later, that liar found her and hurt her with it. and then she earned the sword. but she still doesn't love it. to her, it's a solid proof of her impurity, her flaw.

then, she gave it to taigen. taigen helped her to escape, saved both of their lives with it. taigen, who once pointed out her impurity and harmed her because of it, used the same impurity to protect her.

and she admitted it. she said, "the broken sword fits your hand." maybe she thought, one day taigen will kill someone in order to protect himself with this sword, and it'll be me who saved him, my flaw saved him. taigen will know that too :)

timebomb !
