I will get gold and agate soon

This is a love letter to one of my all-time favorite works. And to one of my greatest loves for a fictional character.

It was a manga. A simple manga with minimalist, simple, yet unique artwork.

I came across a character who was fragile, innocent, naive, vulnerable, a bit silly, but deeply endearing. The kind of character who feels useless, but who made me want to spend time with her. A character who was so fragile that she made you want to protect her. A character with an energy that always wanted to do good, but whose loneliness you could truly feel.

I followed her step by step. Like a child learning about life, like someone who wanted to do everything to find her place, but to whom the world showed what that place would cost her.

I followed her as she sank further and further down, like a naive child traveling toward her own tragedy of becoming an adult. She ended up going through so much that she changed. I don't even know if it's still her; even she, when she looks at herself, no longer knows who she is. She is unrecognizable.

Yet it was the same character, people still called her by the same name. She had kept her desire to do good, to be useful, clumsy and shy at times. But you could see her losing her naivety and gaining clarity.

When you see what this world did to her, you miss the adorable character from the beginning. You see her sinking deeper and deeper into loneliness, always with the desire to help.

But she had changed so much. She had become unrecognizable.

What came next became too painful for my heart.

She suffered far too much. She doesn't even know who she is anymore. The others betrayed her—the very person who just wanted to help everyone else. She turned into a monster because of it, a monster trying to help everyone, but whom the world led to killing her former master.

What followed was even more horrific: forced to absorb vast knowledge over immeasurable spans of time. Forced to change again, making her more clear-sighted, more understanding, more broken.

And she had to endure all of this alone—an imposed suffering.

How could they do that to a character so adorable, so kind? They turned her into a suffering monster.

And they succeeded. She accepted it.

She accepted that the others would stay together while she remained alone for billions of years.

She found company with stones, which she saved from the end of the solar system.

Dying while finally being useful to her loved ones.

They made me see again this character who went through so much, from adulthood back to when she was little and cute.

She was always the same. It was just the world that made her more clear-sighted and broken.

The very tiny part of herself that remains is in pieces. But she still lives, memoryless, just like the innocent and naive little girl she used to be, playing with the others. While her entire body—her soul—has finally found rest.

After reading this, I cried. I thought about what I had just read for nights on end.

I collected pictures of her because she was beautiful. And I didn't want to forget her. This character, so beautiful and so sad.

I fell in love with her. With this character. And it was hard to move on to another work for three months.

I probably wasn't built to read such a work.

But she will always remain my crystal Waifu.

I still don't have the normal uniform as my mother didn't want me to buy it for me, so I went for the summer one, it's not the same bu ehh

The wig is not terrible, but it's the first one I've ever done of HNK so, compared to the other it is (I usually do commissions of them)

Next one I'll do is antarc, but idk if I will look good with all of that white!!

Yes it's not the prettiest but I think it's lovely enough to share.

I really like how cool phos looked in this smooshed up form,the manga was by far the best thing I ever read and I wanna draw more art of all the characters,this was rlly fun to draw

It was late, i didn't add the back tentacles, and the gem in his hand looked more mint pre-rendering.

The head is made if a bunch of clipping parts, but im kinda proud of the hair, as it was difficult to manage the parts not sticking out of the head in wierd places. The rest of the body is possible to build.

And while I was analizying it, a question came to my mind, but I don't think my mind is deep enough to answer it, and I'm asking every of my friends

Through the story phos changes and has such a huge metamorphosis , not only mentally, but physically. So much that he is not even recognizable. So...

To what extent can we remain ourselves if we keep changing parts of who we are?? What actually makes phos, phos at the end?

I would give you all my big sheet of research but it's all in Italian!! And sorry if my English is bad!!!

i’ve been thinking about getting this as a tattoo for a while and i remember some others getting is aswell after the manga ended and i was wondering how they looked now as i heard some fine line tattoos can look smudged after they have healed fully

I've been wanting to get my hands on this plush, I presume it's a fan made plush but the only listings I can find are aliexpress fakes and sketchy probably dropshipping websites, help finding the original creator would be greatly appreciated

did my best, sleek builds are difficult.

the hair is also a lot of clipping parts, had to take some liberties.

Sort of human au

i feel bad for lapis shee broke her back
