will this rule or will it not? we might never know if we don’t ask it. carefully caressing the swirl might not be enough to uncover the truth. what will White do?

still no catbox link. will update the three posts from today once it works again. so unfortunately, y’all will have to deal with the terrible quality blahaj zone upload.

will White risk it all and grasp the Lilac swirls? or will they leave them be, from the fear of falling down?

White feels confident. but this confident? they don’t know.

one thing White does know is that when they grasp onto the swirls without them shying away, that will be good.

White can’t tell if these ones will shy away. they sure look nice and feel nice but those are just observations, not signals. or maybe they are signals? who knows.

maybe Whites experience isn’t unique. maybe the swirls invite anyone? but what if it’s something special for them in particular? it sure feels special.

for now, White will glide along with the lilac swirls without touching them. keeping a safe distance feels safe for now, despite how intriguing and comforting they might feel.

    There are many Lilac swirls. I very much doubt White would fall down from extending a hand towards one and seeing how it feels. All in due time.

    maybe the swirls invite anyone? but what if it’s something special for them in particular?

    Maybe the swirls realize White is one of them. Maybe it’s an invitation to all who do. Maybe it’s a personal invitation. The sense of belonging is so beautiful nevertheless.

      im not even sure if I should read this literally or metaphorically >v<

      I view the swirls as more of a single entity, holding White, making them feel lighter from different angles and through different ways.

      but yes, ur right. there are many other swirls even if they aren’t the same shade.

      White is certainly floating, but is it intentional?

      also, thank u for writing this.

        And thank U for your art! I don’t know how literal the metaphor is hehe. Just been feeling too like I’m floating lately and slowly realizing this is just how Earth’s gravity feels now without all the weight. I can’t say if we’re talking of the same things but it’s a good feeling so I’m taking it in.
