That song by Toto (... you know the one) (Patreon)

As I write, one of the things that catches me and can get me wrapped up in my thoughts is the idea that I am not adequately communicating the tale I wish to tell. This is somewhat alleviated by the nature of fanfiction drawing from preexisting ideas and concepts that my readers are already familiar with, but the issue remains.

I am thankful that my story can entertain, captivate, and intrigue, but at the end of the day, it's hard to tell if I have translated my imagination into something you can visualise.

Then I get fanart like this.

Yuki Setsura strikes again, showing off those Arc sisters who have escaped infancy!

Much like their previous art, I love that it captures the individual sisters' natures: Scarlett, the eldest with a love for fashion and looking good; Saphron, the athletic, friendly sister, Jade the artist and permanent mess maker; and Sky, the ‘youngest’ who is playful and sweet.

I think they did an excellent job! Seeing the girls depicted in this manner makes me happy cause it's like a kind of encouragement that's hard to put into words.

So once more, with their permission, I am overjoyed to share with you all, and again, I thank them profusely for this gift.

I will have to work hard to continue to be worthy of such gifts!

So, until next time.
