Tempestuous Tides for Mermonsters and Tentacled Beings

My mind is in turmoil, I am tired and distracted and keep doing things that cause myself harm... Nothing is super bad but I cut myself whilst making dinner tonight and I cried about it far too much... 
As is usual in times like this, when my brain is breaking I find myself disappearing into a prettier and happier part of my mind, somewhere a little more fantastical... The seas may be Tempestuous, but the rough seas should be the worst of my problems... 

The tempestuous nature of the seas are only exciting the tentacled beasts below the depths... They make Tentacle Hearts - like those from Krescendo - at the lovely merfolk that swim alongside them... 
This little mermonster knows that she's well protected by the tentacles from the deep, and her Alien Astral - which is actually the name of the head and skin from BeSpoke - aura will assist them in their hunt for pirates, and the protect her from the very pirates that want to steal her tears...

A Demi-Goddess in the Moonlight

Magic is something that I seem to be able to find whenever I close my eyes and open my mind... I LOVE when I just open my brain and let the magic come together of it's own accord.... I'ts time's like this when beautifu things can happen... My creativity starts to sparkle and then the sparkles flow through Rudh into something that makes me smile, no matter what mood I was in before I started. That's why I'll ALWAYS think of my blog as a therapy... 

I love experimenting with colours and even though purple has NEVER been a colour I like all that much, but recently it's become much more of a royal and possible colour for me... 
Engine Room being open allows for the magic to flow more easily, since all of the pretties get the creative juices flowing. I love the way that the magic comes up for the creatures that love to explore the Engine Room... 
Today is a little more goddess like, practicing her poses with her Sunken Fang Daggers - from AURO at Engine Room - while the metals and her metallic demi-god Jules markings - from Nefekalum, also at the Engine Room  - are flickering in the moonlight and the light of the flames...

The Tickles of a Ghostmage

The doors have opened, and the Midnight Order is here to release their magic onto the SL world for just a little while. There has been a sudden surge in magic since the doors have opened... Anyone with even the slightest hint of magical aura is already aware of it's presence. It's not just the living spirits that are able to enjoy the feeling, the dead are riding and on their way too...

That magic wakes the dead with gently tickling of some Ghostmage Hands - available from Aii at the round of Midnight Order that runs from today until February 20th - over their bare skin. It gets the magic to awaken and sparkle through their bodies, shining lights through their Archmage tattoos - from Nefekalum also at Midnight Order - it's a wonderful feeling, and the Midnight Order is the cause...

Protect the Heliodor

Why do things happen in threes?! Why when you have two issues, do you get a feeling of impending doom? Why does everything always seem to happen all at once? The past few days I've been feeling shattered, lost, alone and so separated from family that it hurts more than normal, and that's all due to the fact that my Grandma is in hospital because she keeps fainting and they don't know why... Then to make things better, last night my dog started getting ill and has been weak and lethargic all day. She didn't want to go for a walk to the park, which is a surefire sign that something is wrong... All these things adding up are making me feel monstrous, like I just want to scream and cry and scream some more... 

There is a lot of angry and sad emotion right now, and all I can think of is letting the monster out of the darkness so she can consume me and stop the feelings of desperation and stress...
I wonder if my demon can break through, she is a dangerouslt dark being. Marked by the Angelus - whos body tattoo are from AERTH at Midnight Order - she hides in the Cave of Wonders and protects the Heliodor Crystals with her own Dagger made of Heliodor - from Oblivis, also at Midnight Order...

Aquarius, A Water Sign

There is a new event on the SL grid this month which should really grab the attention of a wide range of people across the board...

I'm going to swim in the aqua waves, I'm going to bathe in the waters of the Aquarius Bath - from Violetility at Stellar - and play with my adorable new friends the Mer-Cats- from Tardfish, which I am TOTALLY in love with because I have always wanted a mer-kitty - and while underwater I might partake in a bowl of some delicious Water Bearer Cereal - from Junk Food - which just like in Spongebob manages to stay in the bowl...

The Monster Within

It's been another busy day at work... There has been a lot of nonsense from people that seem to think that they know better than me about a subject I deal with on a daily basis, and think they have the answers to questions I answer about a million times per day... It brings out the monster in me. I feel like Dr.Jekyll sometimes, feeling frustrated and as that boils up I have to duck into the office to release Mrs Hyde... I think I prefer the Mrs Hyde version of me sometimes... 

This outfit was something that I had played around with when the Engine Room was around but due to all of the scary looks I've been playing with, Mrs Hyde, who is similar to Frankenstein's Monster in her crazy steampunkish way. 
She wanders through the KILLER rooms - a backdrop from PALETO - where all of her scientific equipment is dotted around the halls and the remnants of her experiments are left in a mess on the floor...

Strutting like a Peacock

Now that the Midnight Order has begun, but what goes on during the daylight hours when the monsters of the Midnight Order are resting... The Midnight Order doesn't only welcome the monsters, there are faefolk and spirits that discuss the more beautiful side of the darkness... 
One of those happens to be a sparkling Goddess that prefers the company of birdlife, especially the regal peacocks, that strut and show off and, well that definitely appeals to her... 

This goddess wanders through the buildings of Korakia - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis, available in this weekend's sales - talking to the beautiful peacocks that are strutting their stuff trying to outdo her in the glamour stakes...

From her Shattering Sun Halo - from Oblivis  at Midnight Order - to her Hellebore decorated horns - from Quills & Curiosities - and her Mirabel Circlet - from kosmii at Midnight Order - are status symbols, whilst her silk dress - from Petrichor and ERSCH - and flowing cape - part of a set from Aii at Midnight Order - the goddess definitel stands out from the crowd of birds...
