Patter-patter-patter. I find the sound of the rain against the umbrella really satisfying. Sometimes, I'll hum to the rhytm, but most of the times, I just enjoy the ambience. The days grow shorter now, colder. I need a jacket for the evening walks, something with deep pockets to hold the chestnuts I find irresistible to pick up.

I like sitting in the local cemetery and thinking about how life passes. There is stillness there that doesn't demand anything from me. I think about all these petty little squabbles, tiny things people get upset over - but the headstones provide a necessary perspective. In ten, fifteen, twenty years, will these frictions matter? Will I even remember what the argument was about? As I grew older, I definitely started to handle bad days better; I simply ask myself

[EMOTE] [GIF] To celebrate the spirit of Halloween this year, @Fan-Art-World welcomes you to its new... [EMOTE] Trick or Treat Fan Art Challenge [EMOTE] One of the most popular and fun Halloween traditions is trick-or-treating—an activity where children dress up as witches, wizards, goblins, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, mummies, and other terrifying creatures (or their favorite fictional characters), go door-to-door asking for candy, and play pranks on those who don't share their treats. For this month's challenge, we want you to depict your favorite characters dressed up for Halloween and going trick-or-treating! [EMOTE] [EMOTE] [EMOTE] [EMOTE] Rules Create fan art of your favorite character from any franchise dressed up and trick-or-treating for Halloween. You can draw multiple characters in a scene and dress them up as any Halloween monster, another character, a Pokémon, etc. The possibilities are endless. Only Fan-Art accepted. No Original
