Description
Inspired by "The Crow And The Butterfly" by Shinedown ( [link] ). It reminds me a lot of how Spirit must have felt when Maka started detaching from him.I painted your room at midnight,
So I'd know yesterday was over.
I put all your books on the top shelf,
Even the one with the four-leaf clover.
Man I'm getting older.
I took all your pictures off the wall,
And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket.
I haven't slept in what seems like a century.
And now I can barely breathe.
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you'd slip away.
I guess I was just a little too late.
Your words still serenade me,
Your lullabies, won't let me sleep.
I've never heard such a haunting melody,
Oh it's killing me.
You know I can barely breathe.
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you'd slip away.
I guess I was just a little too late,
I was just a little too late.
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you'd slip away.
Like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
I never thought you would slip away.
I guess I was just little too late, (yeah, yeah)
I was just a little too late.
I was just a little too, little too late.
I guess I was just little too late.
So um... I'm going to try to figure to HOW THE FLIPPIN' FUCK I WAS ABLE TO DRAW THIS now.
...I think it's just that my heart and soul go out to Spirit sometimes... I feel SO bad whenever anyone makes a "womanizer" or "drunk" or "Maka-obsessed" joke. The man's life just fell apart at the start of the anime and all people can do is laugh at him. I think that's pretty shitty.

That is one amazing picture. I also want to know how you drew this.
For the record, I have never made fun of Spirit.
I feel sorry for him, too.
Poor guy...

*hugs Spirit*
I used SAI, lined with a linework layer and the curve tool, and the shimmer effect was done with the blur tool, blurring the white background into the edges of the drawing and vice versa.

Oooh. This is an interesting song. Never heard it before, but I like it.
I have probably said this a million times before, but this is one of the reasons that I don't like Maka. They were pretty close, as some flashbacks showed. And then, as she gets older, she kinda...starts to hate him, although I think her reason is not very justified. And then...she's got a loving Papa, who's willing to go out of his way to help her, and all he gets in return are insults, Makachops, and ridicule :/
He really doesn't deserve the way he's treated. This goes for Kami (who doesn't even make an appearance) as well. They won't let him help either of them, even though he really wants to...
This picture itself is interesting, not just the meaning behind it. I really like the lighting, I'm kinda curious on how the hell you did it o3o I like the design of Maka's wings, since they fit with Soul's scythe theme. But, even better, are Spirit's. I love the falling feathers, and, although the feathers on his wings look a bit strange, just how they look on him. A nice, sentimental piece.
*hugs Spirit* It's okay, Spirit-semai... It's not your fault, she's just a horrible daughter... ;_;

O3O Thanks for the huge comment...
I understand being pissed at someone for cheating... And I do think it's best that he's single now... But he expressed truly loving both Maka and her mom... At least Maka could forgive him... And what's up with her issues with him picking up girls? He's SINGLE. That's what single guys DO.
Honestly the way Maka described her mom I'm surprised they got married in the first place. >>
Bottom line, I think Spirit needs a daughter, not a wife. He seemed the most upset after the divorce about not being able to be a father to Maka. And Kami can go burn in hell for not being there to help her daughter when the world was about to freaking end. And Maka can go burn in hell for not appreciating that her father WAS there.

No problem >w<
Well, I understand getting mad at someone for cheating too, although, to be honest, it doesn't bother me as much as it should. I guess it IS better that he's single now. But, as I see it, it wasn't really his fault that he kept hitting on every girl. It's part of his personality, whether he's single or not, and last time I checked, you can't really change that. And, like you say, th' least they could do is forgive him. It's not that hard.
I hate Kami, mostly because she wouldn't even let Spirit fund her OR Maka. I mean, in my family, using my dad as an example, if he had the choice between sacrificing his family, or sacrificing his country, he'd rather sacrifice the family. SO, to see someone like Spirit, who seems to want to sacrifice anything to help his family, and then see someone like Kami or Maka, who shoots them down, it kinda ticks me off.
Kami's almost worse than Marie. Just barely.

Exactly. It's not like he came home drunk and beat the shit out of them like SOME parents/spouses do. I bet they didn't even try marriage counseling. And I kind of think that the reason he cheats is something bigger. It seems like he lacks love in his life so he must feel he can't get enough of it. I wish Maka and Kami could understand that more. I mean I understand it's still a dick move and he shouldn't have settled down if he wanted to keep dating, but it's also kind of confusing because otherwise he wouldn't have had a daughter who's perfect for him because he can't cheat on her and she's a biological symbol of love for him.
But yeah I hate Kami too. Not letting him pay child support when he actually WANTED to was just... rude. She and Maka took it way too far. It's one thing to get a divorce and say "You're not the right person for me if you do this", but it's just rude and bitchy to hate him so much for it. I know the divorce just happened and stuff and people are angry, but really. There doesn't have to be so much animosity. Like I said, he didn't beat anyone. He's a nice guy besides the cheating problem. That's like the ONLY reason I can see that Kami divorced him, so you'd think it would be easier to forgive someone if you left them just because of their lifestyle choices not being right for you.
My own father was a lot like Spirit. He didn't cheat but he had issues with relationships and was a recovering alcoholic. He actually legitimately stopped smoking because of me, and I think I helped him stay sober too. He didn't have much money and had trouble finding work as a guitar teacher, but he always saved a large portion of his money to spend just on me whenever I visited him. He also had schizoaffective disorder, basically schizophrenia and mood disorder combined. I learned a lot I never knew about him after he died and I swear to god I must have kept him alive so many times just by being with him. The way Spirit greets Maka reminds me of the way he'd show up at my house to pick me up, except I actually cared. Even though he was out of my life for some of my hardest times. Even though he wasn't right for my mom. Even though he got arrested twice and I hated him for it at the time. He was still a good person and he loved me despite his own problems. That's why I get ticked when people don't appreciate their parents' efforts to love them.
