WE WIN THEEESE!! 20 MIL :D
I had the immense honor to be asked to make this in celebration for Techno’s 20 mil milestone (and birthday!!) He has been a huge source I draw strength from to get me through a lot of things and keep me fighting and for that I will forever be thankful.
I’m adding a guide to all the references in the read more for anyone that wants to try and find them first :)
Believe it or not, I was wanting to add even more references but I was running out of time and had to wrap up to finish for the celebration video on his channel !!
with hope crossed on your hearts
Quilt 1 / Quilt 2 / Quilt 3 / Blue 1 / Blue 2 / Blue 3 / Moon / song I listened to while drawing this
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

I love how tragic of a character Sayaka is. The parallel with the little mermaid's original story is wonderful, but not only that, she suffers the same fate of turning into a witch in every time-line. She is doomed by the plot and that makes her inevitable death even sadder.
(Also, I loved drawing these mustached cotton balls)
