Iced shackle
Way more than the alarms, it was the sobs that scared the admiral Stair Pris. She never saw her superior and friend like that, so fragile, so devastated.
And even more than those tears, it was that sentence that purely saturated the air of this broken room.
I never asked you to love me
Even if Daji wasn't able to speak, her thoughts were all about that sentence, and even Stair could sense that. The proud grand-admiral Kitsune Daji, the leader of the Armada, she who was made of steel, was now as fragile as a newborn could be.
I never asked you to love me
For the very first time, Stair was able to read in her friend's mind. In fact, she wondered if there was a single person on the cruiser that couldn't read Daji's distress right now.
I never asked you to love me
The same sentence, over and over, endless. The one Daji loved hadn't said that - he was way too kind to say that loudly - but he still had thought that and the silver vixen read that clearly and marked it in her heart. It wasn't a problem for the grand-admiral, at least until today and the confrontation with the AI that had dug up that wound.
Yes, even she, Daji, was in love. And she was forbidden that same love.
The called cold hearted grand-admiral so does have a heart, even if for the moment her heart was in an iced shackle that inflicted her unimaginable pain.
I never asked you to love me
I never asked you to love me
I never asked you to love me
She started to slam her fists on the floor, causing massive shockwaves to crackle the surroundings.
Stair wanted to say something, how she was sorry for the AI, but it was useless - Daji was way too deafened by that damn sentence...
Daji then stopped to suppress her tears and started to scream, up to have her voice broken.
I never asked you to love me
Sequel of the Shadows within Daji's heart
Je ne t'ai pas demandé de m'aimer.
Whatever the language, never a sentence sounds that ugly, and never a sentence has hurt me more than that.
I wish that you will never hear that yourself, I really don't want you to have your heart in an iced shackle like me.

This AI (Artificial Intelligence) from the earlier scene http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3256066/
Comme je disais à Asthexiancal tout à l'heure :
Tiens, Amiral Aesir... Justement, je pensais à lui cette après-midi... J'ai mis l'un de ses dessins comme fond d'écran à mon PC au boulot !
... ça m'intéresserait de rencontrer Amiral Aesir et Prof Théodose l'un de ces jours ; depuis le temps qu'on est en contact sur Internet et qu'on ne s'est jamais rencontré ! ^^
Faut juste voir si ça te botte de pousser une pointe jusqu'à Bruxelles...

Ce n'est vraiment pas impossible, mais si je fais une telle pointe, c'est pour y rester quelques jours, donc un canapé serait le bienvenu =P
Pour l'heure, et avec les tarifs prohibitifs des trains, je pense que je viendrai en voiture/moto, mais pas dans l'immédiat car j'ai une dette envers Asthex que je compte rembourser...

Je suis déjà "de guide" pour les célèbres marchés de Noël alsacien, Strasbourg en tête, donc il est de mon devoir de rester dans ma région pour çà =P
Reste qu'une rencontre au sommet, genre lors d'une furmeet, avec l'Empereur français du Rule34, cela ne serait-il pas plus judicieux?

I'm honestly concerned about the themes I've been seeing in your art lately. You're honestly one of the few people here that I know to some degree that I honesly do like for who they are, and I would hate to see something unfortunate happen those I like. Is there anything you'd like to talk about, perhaps by note?
I am watching you from now on. Even with the grammar errors (English not your first language?) your skill at writing shines through. And your art conveys the emotion of the scene very well. If you made an illustrated book, I would read it. I think you pegged the problem many women have: being a position where they are not allowed to love, to be what they are.
I hope to see many more beautiful pieces from you.

Hahahaha, forgive my french, I blame the educational system! ... In fact, you guessed it right, english isn't my first language, since I'm french! Yeah, frenchy from France. Now, many thanks for your kind comment, I really appreciated it as well as the favs that go along, and the +watch of course.
As for the problem pictured, I think even the men have it, though they may not express it due to their pride.

There's a bit of difference between men and women, though often they want similar things. For a man, it's mostly about being strong and knowing you have what it takes. For a woman, it's about being beautiful, about having a loveliness all your own, from your skin down to your very soul.
Granted, there could be exceptions, but I have not personally run into any myself. *shrugs* We all have our wounds and our masks. God alone knows what they are.

It does hurt when you are forced to see who you are, behind all the walls and shields, and protective behaviours that fit what is expected from you. It is really scary when you get to see who is behind all that. You may find out something you did not know, or hid it so long you forgot it was there.
I suppose many are moved by that pic because they never expected to see Daji in such a fragile pose. She was supposed to be like invincible, and yet she's crushed by her own feelings she denies herself for so long.
... Many that it talks to everyone of us, who have endured such a situation...

I somewhat understand, probably because I haven't loved at all in my life. I thought I did once, but I realized that it was just mixed feelings. Another big factor would be is that I'm not very good at reading emotions due to my light autism, though I am improving.
But what I do feel is the situation behind it. Having to love someone who you've known for quite a while, but only to face the fact that she loves someone else more. It hurts.

There isn't much that I can add to the others. But I will say that the raw emotional power of this piece is one of the finest examples I have ever seen on any furry website.
And I truly pity Daji for the path she took. I hide my emotions from time to time and I know how it tears one up inside. But what she must be going through... I cannot fathom.

While that's not exactly that path I've taken, I was said that awful sentence from the one I loved during three years, and I even foolish presumed I was loved by in return.
As a result, it was quite easy for me to picture Daji's distress here, since it was mine at the origin.
*sighs*
Anyway, thanks for your kind comment, Yuri.

Wow.. *deep breath* quite an emotional image, it really got to me as it happened to me years ago. Quite painful indeed.
But such is the curse of those like her, that have to show a strong front, while hiding and somewhat forgetting their true feelings. As the famous poet Shrek said: it is like an onion, it has layers. Some almost superficial and others deep. And we hide the deepest ones to avoid being hurt.. but sometimes.. it happens.
Ahhh.. i think i'll leave it at that. Again, wonderful image.
