Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

A reading of a poem by my hands-down favorite poet, Robert Frost.

At last, the one everyone knew was coming. I have my own opinion about this poem. I very strongly feel that this is not a cheerful poem. It is rough, harsh, and melancholic. It is, above all, regretful.

Whatever road you choose, do not let your second thoughts get the best of you, as they do for the traveler. Tell your story with a grin, not a sigh.

Here’s to hell!

Ahhhhh now I want a Gabbytar and a real commission and AHHHHHH I CAN’T AFFORD THIS SHIT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Thanks yet again, Gigglypuff! :3c

Rejected Audio Teasers for Sanguine Journey

So I recorded an audio teaser for my soon-to-be-extant webcomic Sanguine Journey. You can listen to the official teaser here.

However, I also recorded the teaser in a bunch of funny voices, which I want to share with you. (Also some words got altered here and there):

And heeeeeeeeeeeeeere they are: 

In a deep voice

In a deep voice 2

In a gravelly voice

In a ridiculous falsetto

In an English accent

In an Irish accent

As YuGiOhTAS’s Tristan

As YuGiOhTAS’s (Kirbopher’s) Noah

As YuGiOhTAS’s (Ninjabridge’s) David Bowie-sama-sensei-senpai-san-sama-kun

As TeamFourStar’s Krillin

As TeamFourStar’s Mr. Popo

As TeamFourStar’s Nappa

As ShadyVox’s Jaden (Yeah, he could have totally done it better)

As Egoraptor’s Kenstar

As Egoraptor’s Snake

——————————————————————

I wanted to do one as Jack Atlas too, but my throat hurts and people are trying to sleep, so you don’t get that one.

Love, BackslashEcho

My “gift”—rather, my December Donation Drive reward—from SerenaMidori, who I’ve heard of thanks to Wha-Chow!
And that’s not a D, it’s a pencil-sketch of this:
Awesome sketch, Gigglypuff! :3

Ode to Lady Death

I hope to die of natural cause,
But even if it’s not to be,
Then when the reaper comes for me,
I hope my life shall give her pause.
For though I paid her little mind,
Passing through but day-to-day,
It never was from disrespect.
Rather, I knew not what to say;
Words were always hard to find
To comfort her who’s called unkind
By those whose souls are lie-bedeck’d.

Her fickle sister I would court
Whenever fate seemed in my way,
But she, alas, would never stay
Past when the dice made their report.
You were always by my side,
Warning me against regret,
Pushing me beyond the ranks
Of fools who owe a petty debt
To she who cares not for their pride.
From you, dear lady, I’ll never hide,
But offer you my solemn thanks.

Memento mori, death my dear;
I’ve always known and never feared.
I knew my time would come one day,
Yet never wished to run away.
From far off, now, I hear your bell,
And as the sound begins to swell
I smile, and rest my weary eyes
While whispering my last goodbyes,
But taking comfort in the sound
As the twilight falls around.

Detecting Death

The sound of an echo:
       The same but less clear
The sight of a shadow:
       Instilling with fear
The scent of the flood:
       Styx flowing so near
The taste of your blood:
       Adrenaline’s peer
The feel of a cloak:
       Brushing your ear
Death’s ironic joke:
       Drawing you here
