Aw that’s a sad ending. It makes sense tho. Hyacinths fate was always to die, all Sage did was postpone it, and that put her through so much pain. She was holding on to a fantasy when she had to face reality, let hyacinth go, and move on.
Rin ❤️ I totally wasn’t expecting to cry watching this video but HERE WE ARE. I think this is a really beautiful metaphor for grief. Especially how someone can retreat into themself so much that the world seems to pass by without them. I felt that in my bones. The optimist in me wants the story to end happily, and the essence of Hyacinth transfers into the cat (maybe the original cat gets banished by the bird or something). But the realist in me thinks the ending is really beautiful as it is, and really packs an emotional punch. Man. This video really got to me, but in the best way. I hope you’re doing okay and I am ALWAYS here if you need to talk. Love you Rin ❤️
I wrote a little descriptive piece from Hyacinth's perspective: Sweat gathers in beads where my freshly cut hair meets my pale skin; all eyes are on me. My eyes dart frantically from side to side, scanning the crowd. It's useless but I'd feel guilty not to try. Familiar faces fill the room, yet I'd give anything for them to leave. I force a smile: it's so obviously fake. My cheeks flush crimson red as they start the chant, to wish me well on my 18th birthday. I blow out the candles, but my vision is blurred, as I fail to hold back the tears. Sage. Sage. Sage. My mind spins and my heart throbs because all I can think about is my sister. Sage. Sage. Sage. You'd expect me to have moved on by now, but that'd be a complete and utter betrayal. I yearn for her return every night, but on this day, my birthday, I need her more than ever. I just wrote this about Hyacinth at her birthday party, when she's missing sage. It took me a little while, but I had an English assessment today and I still feel pretty creative. Hope you liked it Rin!😊💜
Oh my God I really love you RUclips channel I really love both of your RUclips channel you both are amazing you both deserve every piece of your success I look up to you you are my guidance to draw
I think you should go with a bittersweet ending. After Hyacinth sacrifices herself to reverse the spell, the cat could turn white again because when it originally darkens it is because of resentment, but now it has been reversed. Another thing is that I noticed how the state of Sage's hair kind of represented her inner turmoil as the story progressed. At the beginning it was glossy and straight; as a teen when she's distressed and suffering from all the stars, you added this more scruffy and tangled outcrop of side bangs; and when Hyacinth visits her as an adult and finds her in this deep stage of neglect, her hair's overgrown and covering her eyes. That's why it would be neat if after the spell is taken back her hair returns to being silky and ironed. But anyway, that way it shows that things are better now and there's all that light, but also its a bit tragic. The kind of scene where if it were a movie, there would be slow but uplifting music and light spilling in from one corner over Sage's face, she's crying, slowly picks up the fedora off of Hyacinth's crumpled figure and places it on her head then smiles slightly through her tears, yada yada, end credits.
I love this story. I didnt think about it till hearing the ending. But other than magic I think the reason it resonates, is because I lost my sister on 29th December 2019. Not to covid. She was 25. This year has been so difficult. I had my first birthday without her this october. I'm now 31. My birthday without my sister wasnt the same. Leah passed out of the blue. We all thought she just had the flu or sickness bug. Turns out she had pneumococcal pneumonia and ketoacidosis. She had two cardiac arrests. The last one she didnt survive. Drs worked hard to bring her back for 45mins. She had so many wires i think 18 in total. So they couldnt use the machine paddle to bring her back. They had 15 people taking turns doing CPR and adrenaline etc. But nothing. The Ketoacidosis and pneumonia had ruined her organs. None us knew she was so poorly. She didnt either. She left behind my nephew and niece. My nephew was 3 at the time and my niece 1. It sucks so much. My sister was classed as disabled anyhow she didnt have a life without pain. But to go the way she did. I hate it. Waffles I'm sorry this is so long and on your video. But I want to thank you for making it. This will make the best story. Thank you.x
@@madyb6444 I genuinely appreciate your comment. Thank you so very much. This will be our first christmas without Leah. It will be a full year since she left us on the 29th December. It feels both shorter and longer than that. I still wish it wasn't real, that it hadnt happened. Xoxo
It’s true you don’t really “move on” so to say, but you do kind of... get past it, in a way, where it’s not as saddening anymore. It still hurts sometimes, and memories can be painful, but you keep going. You let yourself be sad but you don’t wallow in it forever, you make sure you pick your head back up at some point and keep going because you know sitting in your sorrow like that won’t do you any good. For me at least, Sad thoughts aside, I really like this story and how you illustrated it and I’m glad you shared it with us.❤️ Now maybe I’ll go have some waffles... 🧇
I 100% agree! Moving on isn't the same as moving forward, this story shows how life goes on and that you can honor and remember the past while also living your own life. Just my thoughts :)
Sage loved Hyacinth so much that she gave up part of herself everyday to keep her alive. Indirectly, the same would of happened everyday if Sage never did anything. She would lose herself as she saw the one thing she cared about most be lost to an illness. Sage made a sacrifice for Hyacinth, and she showed her she loved her, but she never said what she did. Hyacinth ended up "dying" because she wanted to save her sister, all without knowing what she did all of those years before. This shows the love that all of us want and want to give, but not all give and receive. Thank you for sharing this story with us, Rin. It shows us how much we love each other, even if we don't know it.
Okay waffles, this story is beautiful and actually brought me to tears. I really love how u portrayed sages grief and how she got absorbed in it, but in the end like having to learn to let go and move on with life. This hit me very hard as well, I almost lost my younger sister earlier in September due to her being an undiagnosed type 1 diabetic. Thank you for continuing to brightening my day and continuing to inspire me on my art journey💕
I like that you named one of them Hyacinth. The name from the flowers, the greek spartan prince Hyacinthas. He was Apollo's lover, he was incredibly beautiful and caught the attention of another greek god Zephyrus the west(?) wind. Hyacinthas died after getting hit in the head by a metal frisbee (I forgot the actual name). Apollo turned Hyacinthas into a flower after he died to preserve his beauty. Creating the Hyacinth!
when u said u could spend an entire video drawing the fashion of this world, i got an idea: what if u made a series of u just drawing and forming and creating the story? like one could be the fashion, or practicing cats? just a suggestion :D
i like how you connect the grief in your story to your own grief, it’s a good coping mechanism i don’t know what you’re grieving about, but i promise it will be ok, you are very strong :) you deserve the world, and i hope you will be able to move on from it
It's definitely a healthy way to deal with grief. Idk bout anyone else, but I have a character where I dump all my grief on. It's not that I dislike my character, in fact the more I grieve with(?) her, the more I love my character
@@drawingwiffwaffles thanks :)) I like to imagine she was magical somehow and I think the name is very cool. I don't she is evil like the unnamed cat of course though :))
I had a cat that was going to be named Midnight but we just kept calling her Halloween, last time I saw her she was at the side of a street, she had been run over.

I lost my dad 5 years ago. I've found that it never does go away, you just learn to co-exist with the grief. It just becomes another part of you that you carry with you. I liken it to having grown an extra limb that hurts at times... sometimes you have to push through the pain of it and other times you need to sit and massage it to ease the hurting a little, sometimes it's more _there_ than others and sometime you almost forget it wasn't always there for a while until something reminds you. It never fully goes, that extra limb is yours for good now. I think it's important to sometimes stop and acknowledge it too, whether that's looking at a pic and having a cry or reminiscing about a shared memory, that sort of thing. I started a memory book not long after my dad died (I was so afraid I'm forget things about him) and sometimes I would just write the one word that summed up something other times I would write it out in detail, sometimes it makes me cry and others it makes me smile (albeit sadly) I'm so sorry that you're experiencing losing someone, it really sucks. I'm not sure I would say it gets easier, you mostly just get used to the hurt being there. Sending virtual hugs if welcome.
Head cannon: Hyacinth when she turned 16-17 would get a star tattoo on her wrist or behind her ear to communicate sage as she thinks she’ll never see her sister
Grief doesn't get smaller, but you get bigger, and there's more of you that doesn't touch on it, as time goes by. And your story is a great representation of grieving. I like it.
I don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say what my therapist used to always say to me: Grief is like a raw wound, at first, it is bare, sensitive, and constantly on your mind but, over time it will start to heal. It will leave a scar, something that will always remind you of the bad things that happened/that you felt but it will be more of a memory rather than the actual pain itself. I hope that helps a little bit ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️sending you a hundred virtual hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That made me feel so much better, cause (I know no one cares but...) I've been having a hard time, I'm unwell and not motivated to draw (which is my favourite thing in the world) and things are not going too well. Thankyou for this comment💜
@@lalalalacanthearyou I'm glad I was able to help a little bit. If you want to talk to a stranger (who is chronically ill and struggles with motivation) let me know :) I or my therapist's voice in my head might be able to help
Hey, Rin! This is actually a great story! I loved the characters, the universe, and also the ending (though it made me a bit sad, won't lie). I'm a storyteller and I see a lot of potential in this narrative. When I have some time (work is kinda hectic right now *sigh*), I'll try to write down an analysis of this and email it to you. It would be fun, I'm sure, and it might help you develop it some more. I think it's an interesting way of exploring the topic of grief, which is always so hard to talk about. Thank you for being so open and sharing it with us! All the love. ❤️
This literally made me cry when I finished watching . The stars remained on her body because it reminded her to appreciate everyday she has with herself and with her loved ones . It reminded her that she has to live everyday like it’s her last because it very well could be . It reminded her to be grateful to be able to spend time with her loved ones. It reminded her of the sacrifices that she went through to see her sister live another day but in the end she couldn’t save her because life is so fragile and once it breaks it’s gone forever and you can’t make deals with life and death. It’s bittersweet but so so heartbreaking . Edit- it also reminds her to move on but the stars remains on her body symbolizing she never fully moves on .
Honestly i'd listen to you talking about stories about your oc's and stories you've made up for hours on end, you just have so much energy i'm instantly drawn into the story. Keep doing what you're doing your art and you are awesome
I absolutely loved the story and this type of video. The dark, sad tone of the story surprised me because it contrasts with your light-hearted usual type of video, but don't get me wrong, I loved how heavily emotional it is. I think it says a lot about grief and about how we have to learn to let go even when we dont want to. I also thought the sort of circular aspect of it was very interesting, how both in the beginning and in the end it's just Sage and the cat, but it does show how her experiences with her sister have changed her, which is shown by the tattoos. Also these videos really inspired me to continue developing a story that i started thinking about, so thank you for that! I'd love to see more of these characters in other videos and the video about fashion that you mentioned would be awesome!
Has so many thoughts but I just pictures the ending as: _A crisp fall morning, leaves the colors of fire start to fall from their branches as Sage watches and drinks her tea. It's been months since she last saw her sister. She lightly smiles as she reminisces her memories, at times finding herself holding back tears. She comes to when she feels a soft nudge to her arm and sees her cat. She gives him a pat. "Good morning-" she starts, pauses at a realization, then slightly chuckles as she continues, " why, I never gave you a name! What should it be?" She lingers on with her question though she already knows the answer. "Come now. We have a lot to do today, Hyacinth." She smiles at the cat as it jumps onto her shoulder...._ (Though I don't think the name should be Hyacinth. More on the lines of Hyacinth favorite toy's name or something more sentimental.)
Rin, I totally agree with you. Losing a loved one is difficult and the grief comes in waves. You don’t ever “get over it.” With each trial and loss you face in life you can choose to survive it, or learn from it, or even help others through trials of their own. I lost my baby 4 yrs ago when he was 2 months old. He would have been 4 yrs old this past Sunday. Sometimes I am back in survival mode when them pain is so hard to endure, but sometimes I am learning about how to dance in the rain and not take things for granted. My best times are when I am able to reach out and serve and bless others and lift them up. I wouldn’t be able to reach others in the same way had I not lost my son. I think that is why I find your story so beautiful, it is through the hard times and not the happy endings that we grow. If life were full of happiness all the time, what would there be to make us stretch out of our comfort zone? How would we grow? So grateful for you and your channel! Thank you Rin!
Man, I felt that! This was such an emotional ending! I love it and at the same time is sad. Not sure how I feel about the cat still being there though I really think you have a talent for telling stories and that you should keep on working on this. If you want to, of course. I'm sure everybody would love to see as you develop the final details of it. I know I would. Anyways, thank you for sharing this ❤️
I agree, the cat suddenly going from all mean and sneaky to this good puffball trying to help her reach her sister is very contradicting in character not that bad people can't change or redeem themselves and become good again it's just that if it was me I'd be much more tiffed off at the cat with it tricking her and taking over her body
@@drawingwiffwaffles maybe the cat she has is A) a gift from the "beautiful turkey" or B) it is her sister's spirit looking over her until they can be reunited by death, because of the bond between sisters
@@simra22 I don't know. I like the idea of the cat changing and becoming better but I think it would need a process, don't know. It was just to sudden I guess.. but it would be nice
Oh man... I am crying right now. This story has touched my heart. I have lost many people in my life, starting at the age of 4. Death has always followed me. It hurts so much to lose a loved one. I am so sorry for your loss, Rin. It really hurts now, it will still hurt in the future, but remember, it does get better. I like the idea of the cat being blonde like Hyacinth in the end. It's kind of like how after a loved one dies, despite them not actually being around anymore, you carry a piece of them with you always. They're never fully gone while you carry them in your thoughts and heart. I love you so much, Rin. You are an amazing person and an amazing artist. I hope you find some peace amongst your grief.
Can I just say I really appreciate the words you put in the description? It’s been a hard year, and with loss in the family and stress from work, you and your videos are always so comforting 🙏🏼
Arayash should be the cats name. It means “shadower” or “overshadower” and I think that’s perfect because he kind of becomes a shadow of Sage in a way. I don’t really know, cause I’m commenting this when I’m in the middle of the video but I think it fits really nicely.
Hyacinth: I lived my life now it’s time to live yours Rin did your story make me sad yes. It’s so good!!!! Thank you for sharing, from experience grief doesn’t go away. I really love this story anyways.
Rin, my heart goes out to you. I’ve been dealing with grief for the last year (on multiple occasions, including right now), and I have an idea of your pain. This story was beautiful, and I hope you can continue using it as a productive source of coping. Animal crossing is also great for coping 😉
omg is it just me or whatever because I thought at the end it would go a little something like this: The room screeches with an eerie silence. My mind clears and feels like its mine again. My bring my hands to my eyes to feel my skin returning to its original youthness. I feel this burst of adrenaline coursing through my veins and I realize its not adrenaline at all. Its strength, its power, its...her. The thought of her jerks my head up, looking at her crumpled state is enough to make me cry, but this newfound strength stops me. I crawl over to her, but fail after many attempts. Then I feel something soft and fluffy graze my left arm. I look over to see a black cat hooking under my arm, bearing some of the weight. Its matted, dark fur almost resembles the color of my many star tattoos, freckling my body. A light chuckle escapes my mouth, very unlike the moment but needed. With the cat, I slowly make my way to Hyacinth. But even before I reach her an indescribable light bursts from the ground blinding me. I use my forearm to cover my eyes, unyielding myself to this surge of energy. By the time the light dies down, I see young Hyacinth again, standing there soaking up her glory. With her flowered dress and quaint hat, she looked so innocent, despite the past few years we shared. I feel every pang of guilt and pain melt away in that moment. Then just as all stories have to come to an end ours does. Her glory on her face disappears, and is replaced with a knowing look that stretches into a smile. She rushes to the ground where I lay and pummels me with an enormous hug. No words are needed in this moment, as no apologies or admitting of fault are. Oh, Hyacinth how-a loud groan interrupts my thought. She shudders, almost falling away from my greedy arms. I catch her in time to look up at her tear-streaked face. But in the light of all that is Hyacinth, she finds it in her to smile back at me. Her big doe-like eyes. She looks down at the back of her hand, pulling back her long sleeve to reveal my greatest fear. Not of my death, not of the end of the world or an apocalypse, no of something much worse. Hyacinth "Sage?" I saw with a shaky voice. "Sage.." but my voice caught. I gulp. "Oh my sweet sister Sage, why is there a star on my hand?

@@drawingwiffwaffles i remember listening to it at an AGT audition of someone who did spoken poetry and it was so deep and overwhelming in a good way ! You should definitely watch it , it’s so heart touching
I lost my grandfather last year in October and I’m still not exactly over it, I cry about it a lot and always think about him and all that...I know it will get easier over time BUT right now it honestly keeps getting worse. Everything I do is for my grandpa :) I don’t think I’ll ever “move on” but I will get past it one day...I know I will because that’s what he would have wanted. He never liked to see me sad ❤️ I don’t know what you’re going through Rin, and I’m definitely not going to ask, but I hope that you are alright and are taking proper care of yourself mentally and physically ❤️
Maybe young witches don't wear hats and they get theirs in a ceremony when turning 18 or something and Hycinth is supposed to be so happy but misses her sister and she wishes she were there...? 😶
I wish this was a movie, reminds me of the disney channel original movies that would come on at 3am (I used to stay up just to watch those movies) and they would be wholesome, yet sad and also be about family :'( Edit: Nevermind, that ending is dark, I said this in the beginning lol
That was awesome, you look great in black (I'm very emo), and unrelated but I was wondering if Dex could be a trans girl? I see a lot of myself and other trans friends reflected in her character. Of course, she's totally your creation and I'm sure there's hundreds of things we don't know about the gang from stories or ideas you've had, but I just wanted to put it out there because I feel like it could help add a layer to her backstory
@@diya1200 Yeah! I went into more detail on the last video she did with the gang, but being withdrawn/worried about socializing with other girls, baggy clothes, dyed hair (I know it's a stereotype but I mean, they're not wrong lol), struggling with confidence, using a sport or art as an outlet, even having a more squared off jawline, things like that. I can just imagine Wheelz sneaking her out to the mall to get some nail polish and Skoot politely lecturing someone about respecting pronouns. I also skateboard and have a dog, but that's just a me thing
"this is something i could spend a whole video on... coming up with the fashion" please, please do omg i would watch that SO hard i would have to sell youtube my eyes
The first time I watched Rin was like a year ago, the video was a 3 colour challenge and OMG I recognised her art work like a year later and start binge watching her videos, I subscribed a month ago and have notifications on and I'm addicted, love your videos Rin
Everyone who leave us from this world leave a hole in our soul that can never be filled. Life does continue as normal after some time, but yea... You never really move on...
Love this story! Maybe an idea for the end is all the tattoos are gone too except for one over her heart? I look forward to you creating more stories like this. Really great job!!
This story was wonderful and thank you for sharing your feelings with us. It's always nice to get a glimpse of you behind the art. I know it's hard, I lost my grandmother a few years ago, and it still feels like she should be with me. It doesn't go away, and some days are harder than others, but like you said that person is always a piece of you. Good luck with everything!
That was really amazing. I think its a good thing its not a happy ending since it wouldn't make sense for her to just lose her sister and then be happy after that but I think the idea of her new cat being like hyacinth is a good way to make it a bit of a happy ending without it being completely unreasonable. Im really glad you finished the story. 😊
You explained this perfectly..You never get over a loss of family ,husband ,partner,friend..But you cope ..Memories that hurt ,they become precious gifts that pop in now and then to make you smile.. I am glad this was special to you and it helped you through to this stage .I loved the story and the characters are beautiful as always with your work 🥰
“There had been a glint to the soft, ruffly feather. It was as white as the snow her and Sage would sled in together. Sage. Sage. Sage. Hyacinth couldn’t stop thinking about her dear sister, who had mysteriously left her when Sage was Hyacinths current age, almost to the day.” Inspired by Minty’s Sketchbook’s writing of Hyacinths birthday
Rin is one of the those you tubers that pretty much never opens up about their personal life so so even think that she’s going through something sad and difficult right now breaks my heart. 😭😭😭 Losing a loved one is definitely never easy.😪
Oms yess Rin! I love this ending! I love how it isn't the story book ending yet it has some sort of fulfillment. Its very accurate to life, things don't always work out the way we want, but to some degree it all works out, even if it isn't all happy. 💜
As an aspiring artist and author myself, I find both the art and the story to be absolutely breathtaking. I love it! I find that living things through your characters can sometimes help you to work through your troubles in a really healthy and expressive way. I love how well the characters, and the depth of who they are and what they care about, is conveyed through just these two videos. I can just imagine how totally amazing this already amazing story would be as a book! I think you did an awesome job conveying the feelings, ideas and messages you wanted to, while including some very imaginative world building. Great job and keep being amazing! You are such an inspiration and I wish you happiness in whatever you’re going through.
Can I just say, after I finished the video, I went back 10 mins later to see what was going on in the comments and decided to read the description it is soo SOOOOO soooo beautiful it made me so happy and motivated from its so sweet I luv you rin 💜☺️💜💜
I absolutely adored this, I have a little sister and we're really close so this story really stuck with me. I am still quite young and haven't experienced grief to the fullest yet but I have no doubt that I'll be back when the time comes for comfort. Thanks for opening up and sharing this with us all I'm sure some people needed this.
Okay, give me a sec to express how much Rin makes me happy. I am going to the orthodontist in a couple minutes and I REALLY dislike going because it’s too time consuming and it hurts and its boring and I like to see Rin’s videos going over there and I always just get happier and I don’t feel as scared anymore^^ so I just want to give my thanks to you Rin and I hope you get better and become happier and that life treats you better because you deserve it ^^ ❤️✨✨ I love you Rin!!! (Also I love anyone who sees this comment because you are precious
Rin this was so beautifully told. I could connect with this, seeing as I lost my younger sister in 2011. This story almost brought me to tears, you thought out everything so well and the emotions you portrayed in the drawings (esp sage crawling towards hyacinth). I think you should make the new cat Hyacinth but Sage never really thinks about it too deeply (but she feels the presence of hyacinth when with the new cat). Again, the story was wonderfully told, and thank you so much for sharing it with us, it deserves to be made into a movie
@@lalalalacanthearyou Thank you, I'm doing a lot better, I was quite young when it happened but old enough to remember. I'm okay now, and I've come to accept it :) Thank you for checking in though, you can't find too many kind people on the internet any more :(
As someone who had gone through multiple people close to them passing away and having to deal with that my heart goes out to you. I don’t know what you’re are going through exactly but I do know that you aren’t alone
Oh yes, please do witchcore next week, I would loove to see that from you 😍 I love the thought of their fashion and culture being influenced by the witches
I’m so sorry for whatever you’ve been through that inspired this story, but it’s beautiful and it’s so important... I once heard someone say something about loosing a sibling, and it’s how I view loosing loved ones: “It doesn’t get easier, it just gets more manageable.” And even though Hyacinth passed away, I think it’s so meaningful that the new cat is a metaphor along w stars that can remind Sage of her sister, and how she can find joy ojt of anything just like Hyacinth did
This is truly a beautiful story and very well thought out. From my own experience with the grief stages. I lost a friend six years ago but you never do move on. You still keep their memory and it keeps them alive because you care and love them so much. I really love this story, amazing job Rin. It truly is beautiful. 🙂🤗 I hope you are okay.
No one: Not one soul: Not Sage or Hyacinth: Title of Rin's video: *DUN DUN DUUNN* heh.... :P Edit: OMG THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I'VE EVER GOTTEN! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🖤🖤🖤
Dang, this story is amazing...After reading the last few sentences in the description, it brought back some memories from last December. I didn’t expect to cry, but sleep deprivation and grief decided that I should cry. I’m slow to getting to the “learning to accept death and learning how to continue on”. I still can’t look at pictures of the family I’ve lost, say their names, or even think about them without getting really sad and starting to cry. People around me say that I shouldn’t cry for them, that they’d rather see me be happy and live my life, but there are moments, days, weeks, months that are hard to get through. I don’t know how I’m going to get through the days that they died.
Hey Rin, hope you're okay. Grief sucks but you handled the topic so well... It reminded me of the coping with death children's books I read when I was a kid- would LOVE to see you make something like that out of these characters with the scenes you described as illustrations 💕
I loved this video :) as you yourself prefer doing sketches, not the finished pieces, I loved see you doodling and just telling a story. What is in your mind. It was a little bit like a story board episode with the artist XD I'd like to see more of this content! And then maybe some finished artworks after you told the story 😇
This is a beautiful analogy for grief. Grief is something you learn to live with . We do heal but not without damage and scars. Thanks for sharing a little bit of what you are going through with us.
Excited to see what happens next! Also, i feel the chilly environment thing, I'm currently inside a blanket tent, wish i could get out to get my sketchbook but it's basically a tundra out there The ending actually really reminds me of the book We Were Liars, it's set up differently but it has the same impact but with ghosts
I cried so much at the end TvT It reminds me of my personal life there at the end, and it's just really beautiful but also painfull? Such a wonderfull story and it's TRUE that you learn to move forward and live with the fact that you have to go on without them... Learning how to let go and understanding it's not your fault even though it might feel that way. T^T♡ Thank you again for the amazing story and art as always, I really enjoyed it and it's making me remember all types of stuff in a good way, also with my grieving and such. So thank you ♡♡
As much as I would love a happy ending, I feel like it's a disservice to Rin and her inspiration from her own grief. It's a very human thing to process grief, so I love the idea that life isn't always happy but we have to make the most of every day!
This story resonates with me a lot, having lost someone very dear to me this past summer. It’s true that you can’t forget the past, but you can carry the memories of those you love with you, and try to make yourself better for their sake. So thank you so so much for sharing this, it was a beautiful story with a beautiful message (and some beautiful illustrations lol).
Me: Fine! Is time to sleep, tomerrow I have clases, and I have to weak up early. (Here in Spain) :D New notification of RUclips: You won't... ;) :D love you ^^
This story is sooo true. You don’t really leave behind everything you experienced as though it didn’t happen, you remember it but you’re able to move forward. Beautifully done 👏👏👏👏
thank you for sharing this story. I've also lost my sister, and you capture that journey of grief and loss so beautifully. thank you for sharing such a personal and beautiful story.
this was beautiful. I loved it! 100% agree. I am have also experienced grief for the first time this year and its so true; you dont get over it or process it, you just learn to keep going. Thank you for sharing with us. I love your story telling
I think that when Sage says "don't leave", Hyacinth should say something in a sweet voice like, "It's ok, I was never meant to stay"
YES that's so perfect
if this was a fully animated scene that line would've totally made me cry
Bro that would h i t
makes me think of Throne of Glass when Aelin says "It was all borrowed time anyway" T_T
YEEEEESSSSSS I would love to see this animated and have them beautiful line in it!!! I would cry
I’m crying so much I ran out of my kleenex D':
Aw that’s a sad ending. It makes sense tho. Hyacinths fate was always to die, all Sage did was postpone it, and that put her through so much pain. She was holding on to a fantasy when she had to face reality, let hyacinth go, and move on.
I still need Rin to create a book to tell this story, I would love to see more of these sisters on her channel.
🤣
Imagine a full-on animation though 👀

Rin ❤️ I totally wasn’t expecting to cry watching this video but HERE WE ARE. I think this is a really beautiful metaphor for grief. Especially how someone can retreat into themself so much that the world seems to pass by without them. I felt that in my bones. The optimist in me wants the story to end happily, and the essence of Hyacinth transfers into the cat (maybe the original cat gets banished by the bird or something). But the realist in me thinks the ending is really beautiful as it is, and really packs an emotional punch. Man. This video really got to me, but in the best way. I hope you’re doing okay and I am ALWAYS here if you need to talk. Love you Rin ❤️
Same to rin. always here if you need to talk i one hundred percent agree Monique Renee
I didn't think I was going to cry either, but here I am. Such a good metaphor for grief, I love it.
Yeah!
I love your pfp so much!

@@cherriesgamingchannel3622 my god . . . . .. . . that's savage
No one:
The cat: *Hey there pretty mama let me whisper in your ear*
*whispers* it's free real estate ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
IM DIEING
The cat is the free real estate Haha! Nooo Now I am literally DYINGGG
This made me laugh through my tears from the sadness of the ending
I have a feeling just a FEELING that this is inspired by quakity
I wrote a little descriptive piece from Hyacinth's perspective:
Sweat gathers in beads where my freshly cut hair meets my pale skin; all eyes are on me. My eyes dart frantically from side to side, scanning the crowd. It's useless but I'd feel guilty not to try. Familiar faces fill the room, yet I'd give anything for them to leave. I force a smile: it's so obviously fake. My cheeks flush crimson red as they start the chant, to wish me well on my 18th birthday. I blow out the candles, but my vision is blurred, as I fail to hold back the tears. Sage. Sage. Sage. My mind spins and my heart throbs because all I can think about is my sister. Sage. Sage. Sage. You'd expect me to have moved on by now, but that'd be a complete and utter betrayal. I yearn for her return every night, but on this day, my birthday, I need her more than ever.
I just wrote this about Hyacinth at her birthday party, when she's missing sage. It took me a little while, but I had an English assessment today and I still feel pretty creative. Hope you liked it Rin!😊💜
That's amazing
That was very emotional, Minty. You have a way with words. Thank you for sharing that! 🖤

I think you should go with a bittersweet ending. After Hyacinth sacrifices herself to reverse the spell, the cat could turn white again because when it originally darkens it is because of resentment, but now it has been reversed. Another thing is that I noticed how the state of Sage's hair kind of represented her inner turmoil as the story progressed. At the beginning it was glossy and straight; as a teen when she's distressed and suffering from all the stars, you added this more scruffy and tangled outcrop of side bangs; and when Hyacinth visits her as an adult and finds her in this deep stage of neglect, her hair's overgrown and covering her eyes. That's why it would be neat if after the spell is taken back her hair returns to being silky and ironed. But anyway, that way it shows that things are better now and there's all that light, but also its a bit tragic. The kind of scene where if it were a movie, there would be slow but uplifting music and light spilling in from one corner over Sage's face, she's crying, slowly picks up the fedora off of Hyacinth's crumpled figure and places it on her head then smiles slightly through her tears, yada yada, end credits.
You know, they don't say yada, yada anymore, right?
That's a quote everytime i see a peacock now i shall say "beautiful turkey"!😂😂

I love this story. I didnt think about it till hearing the ending. But other than magic I think the reason it resonates, is because I lost my sister on 29th December 2019. Not to covid. She was 25. This year has been so difficult. I had my first birthday without her this october. I'm now 31. My birthday without my sister wasnt the same.
Leah passed out of the blue. We all thought she just had the flu or sickness bug. Turns out she had pneumococcal pneumonia and ketoacidosis. She had two cardiac arrests. The last one she didnt survive. Drs worked hard to bring her back for 45mins. She had so many wires i think 18 in total. So they couldnt use the machine paddle to bring her back. They had 15 people taking turns doing CPR and adrenaline etc. But nothing. The Ketoacidosis and pneumonia had ruined her organs. None us knew she was so poorly. She didnt either.
She left behind my nephew and niece. My nephew was 3 at the time and my niece 1.
It sucks so much. My sister was classed as disabled anyhow she didnt have a life without pain. But to go the way she did. I hate it.
Waffles I'm sorry this is so long and on your video. But I want to thank you for making it. This will make the best story. Thank you.x
I feel so sorry for you. Prayers for you and your family❤❤❤
@@madyb6444 I genuinely appreciate your comment. Thank you so very much. This will be our first christmas without Leah. It will be a full year since she left us on the 29th December. It feels both shorter and longer than that. I still wish it wasn't real, that it hadnt happened. Xoxo

It’s true you don’t really “move on” so to say, but you do kind of... get past it, in a way, where it’s not as saddening anymore. It still hurts sometimes, and memories can be painful, but you keep going. You let yourself be sad but you don’t wallow in it forever, you make sure you pick your head back up at some point and keep going because you know sitting in your sorrow like that won’t do you any good.
For me at least,
Sad thoughts aside, I really like this story and how you illustrated it and I’m glad you shared it with us.❤️ Now maybe I’ll go have some waffles... 🧇
Thats very well put. 🖤🖤🖤

@@Jo-ny9ne Lol
I 100% agree! Moving on isn't the same as moving forward, this story shows how life goes on and that you can honor and remember the past while also living your own life. Just my thoughts :)
Sage loved Hyacinth so much that she gave up part of herself everyday to keep her alive. Indirectly, the same would of happened everyday if Sage never did anything. She would lose herself as she saw the one thing she cared about most be lost to an illness. Sage made a sacrifice for Hyacinth, and she showed her she loved her, but she never said what she did. Hyacinth ended up "dying" because she wanted to save her sister, all without knowing what she did all of those years before. This shows the love that all of us want and want to give, but not all give and receive.
Thank you for sharing this story with us, Rin. It shows us how much we love each other, even if we don't know it.
Okay waffles, this story is beautiful and actually brought me to tears. I really love how u portrayed sages grief and how she got absorbed in it, but in the end like having to learn to let go and move on with life. This hit me very hard as well, I almost lost my younger sister earlier in September due to her being an undiagnosed type 1 diabetic. Thank you for continuing to brightening my day and continuing to inspire me on my art journey💕
i can honestly agree. I would absolutely love to read the full story
Me too❤️
I hope your sister is okay 🥺❤️
@@Artholic777 I was going to reply with that as well- I really hope their sisters ok 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
That's terrible. I hope your sister is recovering well now!
I like that you named one of them Hyacinth. The name from the flowers, the greek spartan prince Hyacinthas. He was Apollo's lover, he was incredibly beautiful and caught the attention of another greek god Zephyrus the west(?) wind. Hyacinthas died after getting hit in the head by a metal frisbee (I forgot the actual name). Apollo turned Hyacinthas into a flower after he died to preserve his beauty. Creating the Hyacinth!
when u said u could spend an entire video drawing the fashion of this world, i got an idea:
what if u made a series of u just drawing and forming and creating the story? like one could be the fashion, or practicing cats? just a suggestion :D
this is such a good idea I would watch all of it
great idea
I say dogs
i like how you connect the grief in your story to your own grief, it’s a good coping mechanism
i don’t know what you’re grieving about, but i promise it will be ok, you are very strong :) you deserve the world, and i hope you will be able to move on from it
It's definitely a healthy way to deal with grief. Idk bout anyone else, but I have a character where I dump all my grief on. It's not that I dislike my character, in fact the more I grieve with(?) her, the more I love my character
I suggest the name Midnight for the cat based off of my grandma's cat who sadly passed away last year.
Sorry to hear about your Grandma's cat. 🖤 That is a beautiful name
@@drawingwiffwaffles thanks :)) I like to imagine she was magical somehow and I think the name is very cool. I don't she is evil like the unnamed cat of course though :))
I had a cat that was going to be named Midnight but we just kept calling her Halloween, last time I saw her she was at the side of a street, she had been run over.
@@drawingwiffwaffles and the cat always asked sage at evening/ midnight to save her sister
My best friend had a black cat named Midnight that just disappeared one day.. maybe he was magic too
Waffles: describing this infinitely sad story as one sister gives up their life for the other
The music: I SOUND LIKE I BELONG IN AN ANIMAL CROSSING GAME
i think the cat has hyacinth's personality, like how maybe Sage learns to love the things that remind her of hyacinth.
that's so sweet
that would explain how she got consumed by the cat/grief, if they are one and the same
Sage: *having a very difficult time*
Hyacinth: birb

Wasn't it obvious?
I know right
I lost my dad 5 years ago. I've found that it never does go away, you just learn to co-exist with the grief. It just becomes another part of you that you carry with you. I liken it to having grown an extra limb that hurts at times... sometimes you have to push through the pain of it and other times you need to sit and massage it to ease the hurting a little, sometimes it's more _there_ than others and sometime you almost forget it wasn't always there for a while until something reminds you. It never fully goes, that extra limb is yours for good now. I think it's important to sometimes stop and acknowledge it too, whether that's looking at a pic and having a cry or reminiscing about a shared memory, that sort of thing. I started a memory book not long after my dad died (I was so afraid I'm forget things about him) and sometimes I would just write the one word that summed up something other times I would write it out in detail, sometimes it makes me cry and others it makes me smile (albeit sadly)
I'm so sorry that you're experiencing losing someone, it really sucks. I'm not sure I would say it gets easier, you mostly just get used to the hurt being there. Sending virtual hugs if welcome.
Head cannon:
Hyacinth when she turned 16-17 would get a star tattoo on her wrist or behind her ear to communicate sage as she thinks she’ll never see her sister
beautiful 🖤🖤
Grief doesn't get smaller, but you get bigger, and there's more of you that doesn't touch on it, as time goes by. And your story is a great representation of grieving. I like it.

I don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say what my therapist used to always say to me: Grief is like a raw wound, at first, it is bare, sensitive, and constantly on your mind but, over time it will start to heal. It will leave a scar, something that will always remind you of the bad things that happened/that you felt but it will be more of a memory rather than the actual pain itself. I hope that helps a little bit ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️sending you a hundred virtual hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice profile
Hey, Rin! This is actually a great story! I loved the characters, the universe, and also the ending (though it made me a bit sad, won't lie). I'm a storyteller and I see a lot of potential in this narrative. When I have some time (work is kinda hectic right now *sigh*), I'll try to write down an analysis of this and email it to you. It would be fun, I'm sure, and it might help you develop it some more. I think it's an interesting way of exploring the topic of grief, which is always so hard to talk about. Thank you for being so open and sharing it with us! All the love. ❤️
Who else is loving the longer videos? Cause I could watch DrawingWiffWaffles ALL DAYY!! 💕☺️
Same💜
Yesss
I love how in 14:00 into the video it's just like:
The drawing: 😩😱😰😭🤧💀😖😟
The music: 😀🤗🥰🤩💖🤭😘😍
This literally made me cry when I finished watching .
The stars remained on her body because it reminded her to appreciate everyday she has with herself and with her loved ones . It reminded her that she has to live everyday like it’s her last because it very well could be . It reminded her to be grateful to be able to spend time with her loved ones. It reminded her of the sacrifices that she went through to see her sister live another day but in the end she couldn’t save her because life is so fragile and once it breaks it’s gone forever and you can’t make deals with life and death.
It’s bittersweet but so so heartbreaking .
Edit- it also reminds her to move on but the stars remains on her body symbolizing she never fully moves on .

Honestly i'd listen to you talking about stories about your oc's and stories you've made up for hours on end, you just have so much energy i'm instantly drawn into the story. Keep doing what you're doing your art and you are awesome
I absolutely loved the story and this type of video. The dark, sad tone of the story surprised me because it contrasts with your light-hearted usual type of video, but don't get me wrong, I loved how heavily emotional it is. I think it says a lot about grief and about how we have to learn to let go even when we dont want to. I also thought the sort of circular aspect of it was very interesting, how both in the beginning and in the end it's just Sage and the cat, but it does show how her experiences with her sister have changed her, which is shown by the tattoos. Also these videos really inspired me to continue developing a story that i started thinking about, so thank you for that! I'd love to see more of these characters in other videos and the video about fashion that you mentioned would be awesome!
Has so many thoughts but I just pictures the ending as:
_A crisp fall morning, leaves the colors of fire start to fall from their branches as Sage watches and drinks her tea. It's been months since she last saw her sister. She lightly smiles as she reminisces her memories, at times finding herself holding back tears. She comes to when she feels a soft nudge to her arm and sees her cat.
She gives him a pat. "Good morning-" she starts, pauses at a realization, then slightly chuckles as she continues, " why, I never gave you a name! What should it be?" She lingers on with her question though she already knows the answer.
"Come now. We have a lot to do today, Hyacinth." She smiles at the cat as it jumps onto her shoulder...._
(Though I don't think the name should be Hyacinth. More on the lines of Hyacinth favorite toy's name or something more sentimental.)
What about Star?
Rin, I totally agree with you. Losing a loved one is difficult and the grief comes in waves. You don’t ever “get over it.” With each trial and loss you face in life you can choose to survive it, or learn from it, or even help others through trials of their own. I lost my baby 4 yrs ago when he was 2 months old. He would have been 4 yrs old this past Sunday. Sometimes I am back in survival mode when them pain is so hard to endure, but sometimes I am learning about how to dance in the rain and not take things for granted. My best times are when I am able to reach out and serve and bless others and lift them up. I wouldn’t be able to reach others in the same way had I not lost my son. I think that is why I find your story so beautiful, it is through the hard times and not the happy endings that we grow. If life were full of happiness all the time, what would there be to make us stretch out of our comfort zone? How would we grow? So grateful for you and your channel! Thank you Rin!
Man, I felt that!
This was such an emotional ending! I love it and at the same time is sad. Not sure how I feel about the cat still being there though
I really think you have a talent for telling stories and that you should keep on working on this. If you want to, of course. I'm sure everybody would love to see as you develop the final details of it. I know I would.
Anyways, thank you for sharing this ❤️
I appreciate the feedback! I'm very on the edge about the 'post-ending' so that is one of the things I'm still thinking about. 🖤
I agree, the cat suddenly going from all mean and sneaky to this good puffball trying to help her reach her sister is very contradicting in character not that bad people can't change or redeem themselves and become good again it's just that if it was me I'd be much more tiffed off at the cat with it tricking her and taking over her body
@@drawingwiffwaffles maybe the cat she has is A) a gift from the "beautiful turkey" or B) it is her sister's spirit looking over her until they can be reunited by death, because of the bond between sisters
maybe its a different cat she was gifted with from the turkey or it is her sisters spirt watching over her
@@simra22 I don't know. I like the idea of the cat changing and becoming better but I think it would need a process, don't know. It was just to sudden I guess.. but it would be nice
We need a comic book or a webtoon series
Hey, Rin? I hope you’re doing okay.
Oh man... I am crying right now. This story has touched my heart. I have lost many people in my life, starting at the age of 4. Death has always followed me. It hurts so much to lose a loved one. I am so sorry for your loss, Rin. It really hurts now, it will still hurt in the future, but remember, it does get better. I like the idea of the cat being blonde like Hyacinth in the end. It's kind of like how after a loved one dies, despite them not actually being around anymore, you carry a piece of them with you always. They're never fully gone while you carry them in your thoughts and heart. I love you so much, Rin. You are an amazing person and an amazing artist. I hope you find some peace amongst your grief.
Can I just say I really appreciate the words you put in the description? It’s been a hard year, and with loss in the family and stress from work, you and your videos are always so comforting 🙏🏼
Sounds like we are going through very similar circumstances. 🖤🖤🖤

Arayash should be the cats name. It means “shadower” or “overshadower” and I think that’s perfect because he kind of becomes a shadow of Sage in a way. I don’t really know, cause I’m commenting this when I’m in the middle of the video but I think it fits really nicely.
Yesss, love this. You should write a book about this, I would buy it. Also, your sleeves are *everything*

omg is it just me or whatever because I thought at the end it would go a little something like this:
The room screeches with an eerie silence. My mind clears and feels like its mine again. My bring my hands to my eyes to feel my skin returning to its original youthness. I feel this burst of adrenaline coursing through my veins and I realize its not adrenaline at all. Its strength, its power, its...her. The thought of her jerks my head up, looking at her crumpled state is enough to make me cry, but this newfound strength stops me. I crawl over to her, but fail after many attempts. Then I feel something soft and fluffy graze my left arm. I look over to see a black cat hooking under my arm, bearing some of the weight. Its matted, dark fur almost resembles the color of my many star tattoos, freckling my body. A light chuckle escapes my mouth, very unlike the moment but needed. With the cat, I slowly make my way to Hyacinth. But even before I reach her an indescribable light bursts from the ground blinding me. I use my forearm to cover my eyes, unyielding myself to this surge of energy. By the time the light dies down, I see young Hyacinth again, standing there soaking up her glory. With her flowered dress and quaint hat, she looked so innocent, despite the past few years we shared. I feel every pang of guilt and pain melt away in that moment. Then just as all stories have to come to an end ours does. Her glory on her face disappears, and is replaced with a knowing look that stretches into a smile. She rushes to the ground where I lay and pummels me with an enormous hug. No words are needed in this moment, as no apologies or admitting of fault are. Oh, Hyacinth how-a loud groan interrupts my thought. She shudders, almost falling away from my greedy arms. I catch her in time to look up at her tear-streaked face. But in the light of all that is Hyacinth, she finds it in her to smile back at me. Her big doe-like eyes. She looks down at the back of her hand, pulling back her long sleeve to reveal my greatest fear. Not of my death, not of the end of the world or an apocalypse, no of something much worse.
Hyacinth
"Sage?" I saw with a shaky voice. "Sage.." but my voice caught. I gulp. "Oh my sweet sister Sage, why is there a star on my hand?

I think the best part of being in a family that moves a lot is I'm never stuck in cold states or warm states for too long.
I lost my grandfather last year in October and I’m still not exactly over it, I cry about it a lot and always think about him and all that...I know it will get easier over time BUT right now it honestly keeps getting worse. Everything I do is for my grandpa :) I don’t think I’ll ever “move on” but I will get past it one day...I know I will because that’s what he would have wanted. He never liked to see me sad ❤️
I don’t know what you’re going through Rin, and I’m definitely not going to ask, but I hope that you are alright and are taking proper care of yourself mentally and physically ❤️
Maybe young witches don't wear hats and they get theirs in a ceremony when turning 18 or something and Hycinth is supposed to be so happy but misses her sister and she wishes she were there...? 😶

I wish this was a movie, reminds me of the disney channel original movies that would come on at 3am (I used to stay up just to watch those movies) and they would be wholesome, yet sad and also be about family :'(
Edit: Nevermind, that ending is dark, I said this in the beginning lol
It does have a twitches vibe
This is such a deep story, how is it possible to have as much impact as it does
That was awesome, you look great in black (I'm very emo), and unrelated but I was wondering if Dex could be a trans girl? I see a lot of myself and other trans friends reflected in her character. Of course, she's totally your creation and I'm sure there's hundreds of things we don't know about the gang from stories or ideas you've had, but I just wanted to put it out there because I feel like it could help add a layer to her backstory
Oh thats so cute! And maybe thats why she wears a baggy sweatshirt that goes way past her waist because she hasn’t told her friends yet
@@diya1200 Yeah! I went into more detail on the last video she did with the gang, but being withdrawn/worried about socializing with other girls, baggy clothes, dyed hair (I know it's a stereotype but I mean, they're not wrong lol), struggling with confidence, using a sport or art as an outlet, even having a more squared off jawline, things like that. I can just imagine Wheelz sneaking her out to the mall to get some nail polish and Skoot politely lecturing someone about respecting pronouns. I also skateboard and have a dog, but that's just a me thing
Honestly, coming out about being trans takes some guts, I seriously respect you 💕
That would be so cute!💕
I'm not sure if i necessarily got trans vibes from her but she's most definitely a member of the LGBTQ+ community
"this is something i could spend a whole video on... coming up with the fashion"
please, please do omg i would watch that SO hard i would have to sell youtube my eyes
The first time I watched Rin was like a year ago, the video was a 3 colour challenge and OMG I recognised her art work like a year later and start binge watching her videos, I subscribed a month ago and have notifications on and I'm addicted, love your videos Rin
Everyone who leave us from this world leave a hole in our soul that can never be filled. Life does continue as normal after some time, but yea... You never really move on...
Love this story! Maybe an idea for the end is all the tattoos are gone too except for one over her heart? I look forward to you creating more stories like this. Really great job!!
I love that idea!
This story was wonderful and thank you for sharing your feelings with us. It's always nice to get a glimpse of you behind the art. I know it's hard, I lost my grandmother a few years ago, and it still feels like she should be with me. It doesn't go away, and some days are harder than others, but like you said that person is always a piece of you. Good luck with everything!
That was really amazing. I think its a good thing its not a happy ending since it wouldn't make sense for her to just lose her sister and then be happy after that but I think the idea of her new cat being like hyacinth is a good way to make it a bit of a happy ending without it being completely unreasonable. Im really glad you finished the story. 😊
You explained this perfectly..You never get over a loss of family ,husband ,partner,friend..But you cope ..Memories that hurt ,they become precious gifts that pop in now and then to make you smile.. I am glad this was special to you and it helped you through to this stage .I loved the story and the characters are beautiful as always with your work 🥰
“There had been a glint to the soft, ruffly feather. It was as white as the snow her and Sage would sled in together. Sage. Sage. Sage.
Hyacinth couldn’t stop thinking about her dear sister, who had mysteriously left her when Sage was Hyacinths current age, almost to the day.”
Inspired by Minty’s Sketchbook’s writing of Hyacinths birthday
You are an amazing writer
@@Anyay1 thank you so much! 🥺
Rin is one of the those you tubers that pretty much never opens up about their personal life so so even think that she’s going through something sad and difficult right now breaks my heart. 😭😭😭 Losing a loved one is definitely never easy.😪
Oms yess Rin! I love this ending! I love how it isn't the story book ending yet it has some sort of fulfillment. Its very accurate to life, things don't always work out the way we want, but to some degree it all works out, even if it isn't all happy. 💜
Thank you Michelle 🖤
As an aspiring artist and author myself, I find both the art and the story to be absolutely breathtaking. I love it! I find that living things through your characters can sometimes help you to work through your troubles in a really healthy and expressive way. I love how well the characters, and the depth of who they are and what they care about, is conveyed through just these two videos. I can just imagine how totally amazing this already amazing story would be as a book! I think you did an awesome job conveying the feelings, ideas and messages you wanted to, while including some very imaginative world building. Great job and keep being amazing! You are such an inspiration and I wish you happiness in whatever you’re going through.
Can I just say, after I finished the video, I went back 10 mins later to see what was going on in the comments and decided to read the description it is soo SOOOOO soooo beautiful it made me so happy and motivated from its so sweet
I luv you rin 💜☺️💜💜
Thanks for the heart rin! 💜😊☺️
Rin, sarcastic: the quality content you came for!
me: *unironically crying* it's so beautiful
I always have a hard time coming up with well rounded stories for my characters, so this is impressive. I loved it.
Also that ending tho 😂
I absolutely adored this, I have a little sister and we're really close so this story really stuck with me. I am still quite young and haven't experienced grief to the fullest yet but I have no doubt that I'll be back when the time comes for comfort. Thanks for opening up and sharing this with us all I'm sure some people needed this.
Okay, give me a sec to express how much Rin makes me happy. I am going to the orthodontist in a couple minutes and I REALLY dislike going because it’s too time consuming and it hurts and its boring and I like to see Rin’s videos going over there and I always just get happier and I don’t feel as scared anymore^^ so I just want to give my thanks to you Rin and I hope you get better and become happier and that life treats you better because you deserve it ^^ ❤️✨✨ I love you Rin!!! (Also I love anyone who sees this comment because you are precious
Rin this was so beautifully told. I could connect with this, seeing as I lost my younger sister in 2011. This story almost brought me to tears, you thought out everything so well and the emotions you portrayed in the drawings (esp sage crawling towards hyacinth). I think you should make the new cat Hyacinth but Sage never really thinks about it too deeply (but she feels the presence of hyacinth when with the new cat).
Again, the story was wonderfully told, and thank you so much for sharing it with us, it deserves to be made into a movie
I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you're doing good now💜
@@lalalalacanthearyou Thank you, I'm doing a lot better, I was quite young when it happened but old enough to remember. I'm okay now, and I've come to accept it :) Thank you for checking in though, you can't find too many kind people on the internet any more :(
@@vunirz8656 I'm glad you're doing good now! You're really kind💕
And I hope you live an incredible life💕
Yesss!! You just made my day 100000% better!!!
SAMEEE ANDD I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED IT YET!!! JUST SEEING THE UPLOAD MAKES ME HAPPY :)))

Ikr!!! I just started the video and I’m already so happy😄😄😄

Thanks you guys! It really means a lot to know my content brings you some joy 🖤
@@drawingwiffwaffles
Awwww well it means a lot that you replied 😌😀♥️
As someone who had gone through multiple people close to them passing away and having to deal with that my heart goes out to you. I don’t know what you’re are going through exactly but I do know that you aren’t alone
Oh yes, please do witchcore next week, I would loove to see that from you 😍 I love the thought of their fashion and culture being influenced by the witches
I’m so sorry for whatever you’ve been through that inspired this story, but it’s beautiful and it’s so important... I once heard someone say something about loosing a sibling, and it’s how I view loosing loved ones: “It doesn’t get easier, it just gets more manageable.”
And even though Hyacinth passed away, I think it’s so meaningful that the new cat is a metaphor along w stars that can remind Sage of her sister, and how she can find joy ojt of anything just like Hyacinth did

True
How bout 30 minutes later 😑

This is truly a beautiful story and very well thought out. From my own experience with the grief stages. I lost a friend six years ago but you never do move on. You still keep their memory and it keeps them alive because you care and love them so much. I really love this story, amazing job Rin. It truly is beautiful. 🙂🤗 I hope you are okay.

Not Sage or Hyacinth:
Title of Rin's video: *DUN DUN DUUNN*
heh.... :P
Edit: OMG THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I'VE EVER GOTTEN! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🖤🖤🖤
Dang, this story is amazing...After reading the last few sentences in the description, it brought back some memories from last December. I didn’t expect to cry, but sleep deprivation and grief decided that I should cry. I’m slow to getting to the “learning to accept death and learning how to continue on”. I still can’t look at pictures of the family I’ve lost, say their names, or even think about them without getting really sad and starting to cry. People around me say that I shouldn’t cry for them, that they’d rather see me be happy and live my life, but there are moments, days, weeks, months that are hard to get through. I don’t know how I’m going to get through the days that they died.
Me: how could I start my day better?
Rin: wanna see the Part two?
Me: Yassssssss 🥺🥺........
Hey Rin, hope you're okay. Grief sucks but you handled the topic so well... It reminded me of the coping with death children's books I read when I was a kid- would LOVE to see you make something like that out of these characters with the scenes you described as illustrations 💕
Rin: Anyway, let's jump back into Sage and Hyacinth's storyyyy.
*rubs sleeves together intensely*
Who else loves Rin and waffles??
🖤🖤🖤
Mee💜💜
I loved this video :) as you yourself prefer doing sketches, not the finished pieces, I loved see you doodling and just telling a story. What is in your mind. It was a little bit like a story board episode with the artist XD I'd like to see more of this content! And then maybe some finished artworks after you told the story 😇
Thank you for making my day with your sweet bubbly self!
Its my pleasure 🖤
This is a beautiful analogy for grief. Grief is something you learn to live with . We do heal but not without damage and scars. Thanks for sharing a little bit of what you are going through with us.
Excited to see what happens next!
Also, i feel the chilly environment thing, I'm currently inside a blanket tent, wish i could get out to get my sketchbook but it's basically a tundra out there
The ending actually really reminds me of the book We Were Liars, it's set up differently but it has the same impact but with ghosts
I cried so much at the end TvT
It reminds me of my personal life there at the end, and it's just really beautiful but also painfull?
Such a wonderfull story and it's TRUE that you learn to move forward and live with the fact that you have to go on without them...
Learning how to let go and understanding it's not your fault even though it might feel that way. T^T♡
Thank you again for the amazing story and art as always, I really enjoyed it and it's making me remember all types of stuff in a good way, also with my grieving and such.
So thank you ♡♡
As much as I would love a happy ending, I feel like it's a disservice to Rin and her inspiration from her own grief. It's a very human thing to process grief, so I love the idea that life isn't always happy but we have to make the most of every day!
This story resonates with me a lot, having lost someone very dear to me this past summer. It’s true that you can’t forget the past, but you can carry the memories of those you love with you, and try to make yourself better for their sake. So thank you so so much for sharing this, it was a beautiful story with a beautiful message (and some beautiful illustrations lol).
Me: Fine! Is time to sleep, tomerrow I have clases, and I have to weak up early. (Here in Spain) :D
New notification of RUclips: You won't... ;)
:D love you ^^
This story is sooo true. You don’t really leave behind everything you experienced as though it didn’t happen, you remember it but you’re able to move forward. Beautifully done 👏👏👏👏
I like how im watching her when she posts already because she helps me improve my art so much 😌😌❤
ahh I'm so honored! 🖤
ikr
I absolutely loved this story and the meaning behind it
Rin: A few years later
*jumps 11 years in the future*
thank you for sharing this story. I've also lost my sister, and you capture that journey of grief and loss so beautifully. thank you for sharing such a personal and beautiful story.
I've been waiting for part two!! This story is really intriguing, I hope you do more like this~!💜💜
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed this type of video. It does leave a lot of options open for new ideas. 🖤
this was beautiful. I loved it! 100% agree. I am have also experienced grief for the first time this year and its so true; you dont get over it or process it, you just learn to keep going. Thank you for sharing with us. I love your story telling
