A quick reminder that the bullet journal method was designed as a disability tool by a person with ADD. It's meant to be practical, and can be helpful especially to neurodivergent folks. Don't let the Instagram pictures or grind culture make you believe you cannot use it. The method will not work for everyone of course, but it is largely what you make of it.

It’s August which means I’m obsessed with all of my pens and journals again 🤌🖋️

I got this absolutely beautiful coffin shaped journal from Copticore on their Etsy and I am SO happy with it. Now that I'm only a few games away from finishing TLOZ, I wanted to turn my attention to Castlevania!! I really wanted a themed journal and not only did I find this coffin journal, but Copticore will also put gold foil letters on the cover if you request it! The journal even came with a bone pen and I’m so obsessed with writing with it. (CoptiCore even gave me a message saying they started watching Castlevania bc of my journal order which makes me so happy, love spreading the Castlevania agenda 🤧:)!!!).

The link to their etsy is here! Below I have a test page, a closeup at the lettering, and my thoughts on the journal (which are extremely positive this is genuinely one of my favorite journals I own).

The journal itself is phenomenal, genuinely one of my favorite journals I own. The outer cover is nice and sturdy and the gold foil is applied really well. You also get to customize the the interior cover color and binding color. The binding is fantastic, the journal was specifically designed so it can be laid flat to write on it and the binding on the pages is really well done (I’ve had previous journals where the binding tears the pages 😭😭 so very happy to see how intentional this binding is). Also because it’s made of thread binding and not glue, there’s no stress in whether or not the glue will break over time due to use (my Zelda journal has done this). The pages are also really nice. They’re very have a heavy weight and are smooth, they take all kind of media really well. The only thing I don’t recommend using are regular sharpies as they will bleed, but I don’t journal with regular sharpies so this is no issue. The sharpies are the only media to bleed out of the ones I tested, although I do recommend waiting for all media to completely dry before writing on the next page as I had some transferring (seen on the left side of my test page) but that was just my impatient fault 😅. Overall, an incredible journal and I highly recommend checking out their instagram and Etsy shop!! Tysm to CoptiCore this is such an amazing work of art!!

This journal will be such an experiment since I want to do a unique journaling style for Castlevania using fountain pens, but I’m excited to get into the games after such an incredible television experience!!

Tell me you book journal, without telling me you book journal. I’ll go first, haha.

Anyway, here’s a few books I tabbed and my new November spread! I am loving it! (inspo from Pinterest). Also, those little dots in my calendar are my habits (the key’s covered up by the book I’m currently reading).

Current read 📕: The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe

Ps. For all my American peeps, don’t forget to vote in midterms on Tuesday, Nov 8!
