FLASH'S LOGBOOK

Hey it’s been less than a month since the last entry, I think I can call that a victory!! Maybe I’ll eventually get into a routine of writing these more regularly!

Nevermind………. took me a bit too long to get the drawings done

Anyway let’s see what’s been happening here lately. Well firstly, I’ve actually been to Alien’s teeny tiny home planet! He had to stop by so that he could vote. He said he’d skip but that the space pirates need his vote.
Okay I know this sounds alarming but it’s really not as bad as it sounds, they are not bad guys, they just want free internet for everyone or something. Anyway they didn’t win, which is apparently a huge bummer to this other cat alien species that can travel through the internet. It’s kinda sad that they didn’t win, just based purely on the fact that a political party called ‘space pirates’ could actually have a say in Sapurrian politics but now they won’t.

Sapurrn is a very… fluffy planet. At least the part I visited. I’m not even sure how to describe it. Like… what should be plants has a furry texture instead. Grass is like cat fur and bushes and trees are like down feathers and it’s really tripping me out.
Also I want to touch  e v e r y t h i n g .

There’s also so much electricity everywhere, you can even feel it in the air, my hair got all funky because of it. It’s because electricity is a huge part of Sapurrian… just… I don’t know, biology? Sociology? Everything?? They are completely immune to it and if they get sick they can get shock therapy, and they use their antenna zaps to express their feelings a lot.
Sapurrians like me because I also have electric vibes!
I truly feel like I belong on this fluffy planed among all these cat aliens.
This is good.

The other day Alien asked me about the sparkly things on my chest. I don’t think I ever mentioned them before but you’ve probably seen them on my pictures! He thought they were badges, but they’re not, they are actually a part of me. A pretty important one too! I call them star gems because they feel like rocks to touch, but they glow and sparkle like stars so the origin of the name is pretty self-explanatory.
They are actually kind of my core. My heart and soul!
The one on the middle of my chest is my soul, and the left one is my heart!

They are kind of like a backup of my existence I guess? If either of them gets destroyed I can still live and rebuild it. Like… as long as one stays complete I can fully heal and then work on growing out the other one again.
If my heart would get destroyed I could live purely off my soul energy but I’d be anxious and closed off, and if my soul would get destroyed I’d live off my heart but lack inspiration and passion. Until I grow back the missing part, that is. Once that’s all grown back I become the same good old Flash again, but with new experiences!

Here’s a rough visual representation:

I know if might sound weird that I know this, but it just feels natural to know. Like how you know that if you fall in a ditch you could break your leg but your leg would heal? Kinda like that but more extreme I guess. Maybe like… that, but also combined with the fact that you know something really bad could traumatise you, but you also know that with enough support and willpower you’d be able to pick yourself up again. Kinda like that.

Okay I’ll end this one with some complaining because I can’t with this.
I stayed over at Alien’s place while we were in his hometown and Every Morning I was woken up by his ridiculously loud neighbours. They did something different every morning, like. One time they would yell like someone was being skinned alive, another day they would vacuum, or blast music, or do freaking CONSTRUCTION WORK at like.. 8AM??? DUDES.

I asked Alien how he can live like this because I’m pretty sure things like these drive a guy to contemplate assault, and he said he just got used to it because he never felt like telling them to keep it down. Like, it still bothers him but he is at a point where he expects this every morning, like he just takes it, come on dude, stand up for yourself you can’t live like this.

I get why he wouldn’t want to ask them to keep it down but like… if you approach them NICELY then surely they would understand?
If no one complains they probably have no idea that this is even an issue.

Though I guess at this point Alien does come home pretty rarely so MOST of the time the noise doesn’t really bother anyone? Then again this IS an apartment building and there’s other people living in it so someone is definitely gonna be bothered!!
I might have a talk with the neighbours tomorrow and see if I can make any kind of deal.

Lesson of the day: Tell people when something bothers you because otherwise how the hell would they know something is wrong?

Cheers,
