December 9 - Note about the Goddess

So someone asked me today:

"Oh my gosh, the Goddess post is so sad! The world is made of tears!"

and I would like to explain this.

I invented this world right after the pandemic started. My mom and I had to isolate from my dad because he was working in the COVID-19 unit at his hospital and, given how little everyone knew about the virus, I was absolutely terrified that every time I'd see him would be the last. Morbid, I know. But I was just about to graduate elementary school, and seeing the world around me dissolve into shambles... It was rough. So I created a magical world. I'd been doing my themes of the month way before March 2020, but in April I came up with an idea: I could make characters and I could have imaginary friends to play with after fake school all day and pasta for lunch. I could have someone to accompany me. Even better, I could make an entire universe where there was no global pandemic, no worry, no sadness, no fear. And I did. I made this world to distract myself from the real one. That's where the creation story came from. That's where this all came from.
