The Faces We Wear by MothofLamplight

Filler.
Sorry I've been so inactive guys.
Been sick lately. Pretty sure it's a sinus infection.

Also- this is totally unrelated to my other piece "Stop Relying On That Body"

Pick out all of the complimets in this drawing... That's what describes you... And now take all of the remaining words, that is what you are not... Awesome job! ^-^

This is vary beautiful sami.

FourEyedNinja

13 May, 2013, 1:44 pm

This is extremely beautiful - all of your artwork is, but I won't lie, kitten, I was more focused on the fact that you haven't been well. I hope you're feeling better now, I really do. :)

I ate my mask, and now i stroll around scaring peeps with my exposed skull.

I think i'm also sick, woke up today with aching kidneys, nausea, and sore abdomen. I really hope it's not something deadly... Cuz, i so can't afford the medical bills.

Ghab- aww ty ^^ you're so sweet
thimble- I actually haaate tea. I'm not fancy v.v
ponoz- Thank you :3 Annnd nothing in the background is supposed to relate to me. I'm just.. there?
Bobby- you're not an idiot, ugly, cruel, mean, vulgar, liar, loser, rude, slow, nasty, weak, cynical, disgusting or inconsiderate. Sad? maybe. we all are sometimes. Uncaring? betch plz. Alsooo ty for congratulating me on the followers -glomp- hehe -w- like muh tape, do you?
Later- These are mostly personality traits. Being gay, in my opinion, isn't a NEGATIVE. I'm not straight, after all. don't relate the negatives to yourself. s'not right, buddeh.
acchan- Ty o.o but imma lady.
Omega- X3 thank you dear.
Lokichu- d'aww.. no way! you are!
Scribble- oh noes! we shall be sick buddies!
EX- Not THAT busy! o.o Betch puhlez.
Shinyou- thank you ^^ So much
Fran- the only mask I wear is a semi 'normal' one. Just because I dont want people to worry or think I'm crazy. I probably am.
Lollypop- :] thank you sweets
FourEyed- aww thank you -giggle- ^w^ you called me kitten! I'm slowly getting better. Lots of headaches.
YARRY- thank youuu!
Shru- V//v//V strong because of friends like youuuu.
Utena- -glomp- TvT
Mishi- ^.^
Emily: QvQ you're... beautiful...
I hope not! :[ Feel better TnT -hugs-
Dave- interesting concept

FourEyedNinja

13 May, 2013, 7:14 pm

Emily: O.O Erm... I don't mean to cause any worry, but it sounds like you may have a kidney infection. I've had it before, and the symptoms I had sound identical to what you've described. You should definately get it checked out.

hey sami do you think you draw my o.c. cause i think you could make her look beautiful & scary as he.ll ^u^

Oddman!ink

this is great. my masks are definitely honest, strong, and fearless.

Electric Blue

13 May, 2013, 9:30 pm

Im too afraid to take my mask off...

OokamiAniyou

13 May, 2013, 10:19 pm

Sad but true.. I'd like to think a lot if my behavior is not a mask but my own is still there. I certainly try to hide all my insecurities and I can be pretty useless sometimes lol.

OokamiAniyou

13 May, 2013, 10:21 pm

And Emily, I agree with foureyedninja. Infections like that can be taken care of but if you let it go too long it can become pretty serious.

Sinus problems are the worst, you can barely breath!DX Man you write so neat Sami, and have so much meaning in your paintings!!*u*

FourEyedNinja

13 May, 2013, 11:13 pm

I'm a ninja... I always wear a mask... (JOKING!) XD

MothofLamplight

13 May, 2013, 11:27 pm

Oddman- aww.. i bet you really are though :3
Utena- HECKS YEAH :D
Electric- Some people are. It's okay.
Ookami- You're too amazing for a mask, missy! :3
Failninja- thank you o.o Definitely not a mask.
AnimeGirl- TvT thank you! o.o I FORCE myself to write neat on here.
Sunken- I HAVE SO MANY FEELS MY PAINTINGS STEAL THEM.
Foureyed- XD niiinja

I've noticed this A LOT. People pretent do be something they think they're EXPECTED to be. But a strong sense of self that is unaffected by the world is very important. Even I've fallen into the trap of acting happy when I'm not because I need to help unhappy people. So, which masks are you wearing?

OokamiAniyou

13 May, 2013, 11:35 pm

If only that were true, sweetie.

MothofLamplight

13 May, 2013, 11:38 pm

Mostly the 'happy' mask because I'm trying to cheer others up. And the 'normal' mask. Along with the 'tough' and 'uncaring' mask. I have to pretend I don't care sometimes v.v

OokamiAniyou

13 May, 2013, 11:45 pm

But I prefer you to "normal" people. I think you're amazing just the way you are. Normal tends to lack substance and understanding.

Biggoron

14 May, 2013, 12:16 am

blegh...in reality, i fit more of those than i'd care to count. XP
but i think i've only ever removed my "mask" to like, 3 people...EVER. :U

Biggoron

14 May, 2013, 12:17 am

*more of those bad ones
lol the good ones....i'm not so close to matching many of them X3

Your writing is so cool. I love the bright words against the black.

FourEyedNinja

14 May, 2013, 1:01 am

I won't lie; I think I pretend to be stronger than I am a lot of the time. I suffer from a long list of illnesses, and I often delude myself into thinking that I'm strong, and that I'm coping with it all, but on the inside, I struggle to cope sometimes...

Hieisdrkangel

14 May, 2013, 1:36 am

Get well soon, Sami! ;]
Also, man.. sometimes when I don't want to show my true emotions towards my parents because I don't want them to worry.We all wear masks to not worry our loved ones. I only confess to my most closet, loyal friend and that awesome friend is you Sami :]

saanity

14 May, 2013, 1:54 am

So true. I've been wearing mine for so long, I forget who I am underneath.

AirmanKire

14 May, 2013, 2:18 am

I am a philosopher wearing the mask of a fool. Very few know my true intelligence.

AnarchysKin

14 May, 2013, 3:44 am

Actually, I upgraded. I wear other people's faces now. Still the same aspect though. By the way, I think you may have deleted me as a friend during my previous inactivity. I don't mind, yer probably full-up. Just wanted to know why I haven't heard from you on swapnote. Keep up that special style 'o yours, 'kay?

Thinline

14 May, 2013, 6:13 pm

Yeahhhh... That "pretending to be strong and stable" mask... I have got that down pat. Then there's the "Pretending to think anyone cares what I have to say" mask, which never seems to fit very well. I always wig out last minute and do some fool thing like del------

I hope you feel better! I think I wear the beautiful mask, not saying I am... Just feel that's the standard everyone else has for me, like I have to look pretty all the time when in reality, my opinion of myself is FAR from beautiful. Wow! When did I get so negative!? haha

Boxy- ty! ack i still have mine..

Dolmeres

15 May, 2013, 3:43 pm

I like that it's got "optimistic" AND "cynical" and other opposites. Is that your different masks for different people or are some the mask and the rest you? Also are you more cynical or optimistic?

AnarchysKin

15 May, 2013, 9:19 pm

I wouldn't mind. 'Tis a good way to follow my favorite artists. Besides, you were like my third friend on Colors. Got like 50 now, but you were there first.

Thinline

16 May, 2013, 7:06 am

Sami: No it isn't! Just say what'cha feel! xD
It's just kinda' cool to interact, y'dig? :3
