Returning the Head of the Forest Spirit
Merry Christmas Everyone
So, I re-watched My Neighbor Totoro in honor of its 30th birthday today, and I think I get why forest spirits and other such creatures only approach children.
Most adults, upon seeing something like Totoro, would want to learn more. At worst, they’d want to make a profit off of finding such a creature. At best, they’d be incredibly curious and would try to figure out exactly what Totoro was and how he can do what he does.
Kids, on the other hand, just accept things like that. I mean, when Mei found Totoro, she took a nap with him. When Satsuki met Totoro, she gave him an umbrella and waited for the bus with him. They didn’t question his presence. They just interacted with him normally, and were rewarded with a fantastic night of growing trees and being the wind.
Mythical creatures like children, because children are more likely to treat them like people.
I'm not sure exactly what's going on here, but I really like how it turned out :) I wish I could have take a pic sooner, this sketchbook's paper is pretty flimsy....

Prompt 11
There's a forest near Redania that is lush with color and flora. Every time Geralt camps there, he gets the best sleep of his life. There's always plenty of game for when he's hungry, and the birds follow after him, singing him songs. Every time he comes back, more and more odd qualities of the forest show. Most recently, flowers spawn wherever he or Roach steps. Roach finds this amazing (and very tasty), Geralt meanwhile is starting to find this suspicious. He's begun to hear a song in the breeze, and that's when he kicks roach into high gear and gets the hell out of there. But no matter how far he travels, in the back of his head, he can still hear the sad song, sung from a shaky voice. Eventually, he finds himself along the trail of the forest, and decides to risk it. The voice swaps immediately to a happy tune, and Geralt is being showered with deer and rabbits who are suspiciously suddenly always just near his camp, fish literally jumping out of the river toward him, birds flying after him to drop flowers on him. He decides that whatever is controlling the forest must be harmless, and even wishes it well as he rides off, only to hear the sad song start again as he leaves. He assures the forest he'll return again, and the song lightens to a cheery jig once more. When a monster known for spreading rot wherever it goes suddenly appears in Jaskier's forest, Jaskier knows his only chance is to sing his witcher back (and perhaps convince him to bring Jaskier with him next time.)
