thank u for the tag @henrydangerismymiddlename I got my laptop out for this lol

it’s 3am so bear with

copy and paste the following questions and answer with as much detail as you want and when you’re done tag at least 2 other blogs to do the same, let’s go!

Who was your overall favourite member of Team Danger and why? it’s a toss up between Henry and Charlotte if im completely honest. I always love the girl character in everything and Charlotte was everything I wanted but I also always loved Henry coz he was one of the only main characters I've ever found likeable in a show before

Who was your favourite non-team danger character and why? Mary Debbie Gaberman because she was funny and put up with Trent’s shit

Who was your favourite villain and why? Rick Twittler. he was the most non cartoony. villain and he did some of the most damage to the characters

What were your top five favourite Henry Danger episodes of all time and why? broken armed and dangerous-comedy, scream machine-that ending lmao, I dream of danger-chenry, massage chair-the drama of it all & car trek-idk

What were your top five least favourite Henry Danger episodes of all time and why? captain mom coz ew, and idk their names but the one where Henry cheated on those girls, the one where he and jasper fight over that girl, sick and wired coz that was ray’s shitty turning point & jam session coz that bet was fucked

What was your favourite running gag and why? hmmmm and repeat what they said an henry’s im in a band pick up line

What was your favourite one-off throw away gag and why? when they actually respected Charlotte (wish it came up more tho :(

What episode, which character and which duo made you laugh the most? scream machine esp when I was younger coz it feels like it was filmed at 3am, Henry with his dumbassery & Charlotte and schwoz as a duo like when they were doing smart stuff or in swellview’s got talent

How would you rank each season from 1 to 5, one being the best and five being the worst? one-4, two-2, three-3, four-4 & five-2/5 depending on ray’s behaviour

Who was your favourite duo in the show (romantic or non-romantic)? romantic- chenry & nonromantic- Charlotte/schwoz

What was your favourite Henry and Ray moment/episode? all the times when they argued on missions I just found it funny esp when it was like about flying the mancopter etc.

What was your favourite Chenry moment/episode? I dream of danger, that one bit in budget cuts&mr nice guy, when they used to yell at the same time

If you could go back and change one element of the show, what would it be? the treatment of Charlotte/when ray got shit

If you could say one thing to each main character in the pilot, what would it be? SCHOOL COMES FIRST, FRIENDS SECOND AND WORK LAST

If you could say one thing to each main character in the finale, what would it be? nice hair and outfits guys, also you did good

Were you satisfied with the finale? What part was your favourite and what part was your least favourite? I was. i loved the trio’s ending but I would have maybe liked a better piper farewell idk. also I get why they let kid danger stay dead I just think that after all that time he deserved recognition also so do charlotte and schwoz even if it wouldn't really work

What would your ideal Henry danger spin off look like? a teen rated dystopia spinoff of the trio fighting crime vigilante style with habit of chenry also get jasper a boyfriend

Where do you personally see the characters 10 years from now? What are they doing, who are they with, where are they in their lives - what do you think happened to them? Most importantly, are they happy? I think the trio will still be fighting crime together well into their twenties/ thirties, piper has started a successful company and ray and schwoz are still running the school. Mary has her own talkshow

What was your favourite part of the show and why did it initially draw you in? you guys are gonna HATE me for this but growing up I kinda had a crush on Henry that tries to make an appearance every now and then so that paired with me watching all dan scheider’s shows was mainly it

What was your favourite part of the fandom and why did it initially draw you in? THE PEOPLE everyone here is awesome like nesha, Nikki, umana, shona, lou and lizzie. I joined coz tumblr is my go to site and after reading nesha’s chenry So...? series and stalking everyones blogs I made one of my own

Describe your overall emotions/feelings regarding the show being over and the show in general, looking back on it as a whole, with one quote from the show “feel’s good”

If you were able to add one scene in the finale, what would you add? a group hug

Favorite outfit/hair style? jasper’s crop top will forever be iconic and charlotte’s space buns in cave the date

One twist: when you answer this for yourself, add one new question at the end for the next person to answer. Remember to tag at least two people so we can get this around the whole fandom so everyone can have their proper goodbye! And feel free to do this even if you don’t get tagged, I want to see how everyone feels!

Side by Side. Chapter 7: Challenger

King Liam x Rayne (MC): With new additions to their family, Rayne and Liam re-evaluate their relationship dynamic.

MASTERLIST

Special appearance by @hopefulmoonobject as Clair, thanks Nesha!

The door flew open and she entered with a twisted smile. She breathed hard at the speed of her coming and a sense of foreboding came over Liam.

“What is it Madeline? I have things to do” the last couple of weeks had been particularly trying with his ‘wife’ and Liam had all but given up on propriety. It wasn’t as if she exercised any in return. For example, rather than reply, Madeline went to the small television screen along one side of his office and started to switch between channels.

“You have to watch this” she said, still looking at the screen, “there” it was a news reporter with an American accent, and though he was not keen to entertain Madeline he stood and put down his work, coming around the desk to see the screen better. Madeline was much too happy about this, which filled him with dread. He narrowed his gaze at her for a moment before switching his focus to the reporter who sat before a picture of the New York City skyline.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! For those of you just joining us, we have just been joined by a special guest, Genevieve O’Mara. Along with being fixture in the New York legal scene, some of you may also know of Genevieve’s daughter and only child, Joanna Rayne Stevens, currently residing in Cordonia” a photo of Rayne in her old waitress outfit comes on to the screen, “Rayne is the mistress of recently married King Liam, we have a photo of the wedding here” Liam clenched his fists tight and tried to ignore the satisfied smirk on Madeline’s face as a picture of the two of them outside the Basilica filled the screen. It zoomed in to the corner of the screen where Rayne was smiling with Olivia and Leo, “so Genevieve, we have been wondering for a while now, what happened there? How does a young woman like Rayne, who surely has so much more to offer the world, end up as just ‘the other woman’ to a European monarch?”

Genevieve sat in a chair opposite the reporter, the same sweet smile on her face as when he had met her last year.

“Please Richard, call me Gen” she looked from the reporter to the camera, “my beautiful baby Rayne, who I have not seen in months, is a strong woman. It breaks my heart that she is being used in this way. I only hope that with enough support, we can liberate her from the grasp of the king” Liam stared at the screen, heart sinking, he could feel how much Madeline was enjoying Genevieve’s discreditation of her own daughter.

“Are you saying that King Liam is holding her against her will?”

“As I said, I raised my daughter to be strong. I was surprised that she was not there beside me after the passing of my son, two years ago, but I attributed it to her needing her own space” Genevieve wiped a tear from her eye and Liam’s compassion battled with anger at the blatant lie, “understandably, it is likely that Ray was still in a vulnerable place when she travelled to Cordonia, and I’m sure the king made her a good offer” Liam felt Madeline’s gaze on him and ensured his concern was well checked, “I can only think of one other reason that my daughter would allow herself to be manipulated like this, but it is difficult to see how it could be the only reason she has stayed…” Liam held his breath.

The door opened again, and he looked up to see Rayne come in, her expression transitioning quickly from panicked to polite as she registered Madeline.

“You’re just in time Joanna” Rayne’s facade faltered for a moment at the use of her first name before she drew herself up to her full height and nodded.

“Good afternoon, Your Majesties” she came around to stand between them and Liam took her hand and squeezed it briefly.

“Good afternoon Rayne” he said softly as they turned back to the screen just in time.

“So what you’re saying is that the reason we haven’t seen your daughter out in public recently is that she’s pregnant?”

“Oh my god...” Rayne put a hand over her mouth and stumbled backwards to the lounge on the other side of the room. Liam followed her, steadying her gait and holding her hand when she was seated. Madeline had barely glanced at them.

“Exactly. I have the transcript of the last phone call we had where she indicated as much-”

“Turn it off” Liam looked determinately towards Madeline, who still held the remote. She raised an eyebrow at him.

“-so all I can ask is Rayne, if you’re watching-”

“Turn it off Madeline. Now” his tone was commanding, they had heard more than enough. Beside him Rayne’s breathing was shallow and quick, her gaze still fixed on the screen

“-you know that I love you, don't let this man be-” Madeline switched off the television and turned to face the two of them.

“You need to put together a statement husband, this won't take long to become cancerous to your rule. Our people will need answers” Liam reminded himself to remain calm, if not for his sake then for Rayne’s.

“I am well aware of this Madeline. Now leave us” she didn't get a polite request. She had earned the opposite.

“We need to work on this together, and we need to do it soon” she was challenging him. It wouldn't get her far.

“I will take care of it, leave us” Rayne was still silent, she hadn't been well in the last few days and she was too pale as she stared at the screen. When Madeline moved towards the desk he stood to intercept, squaring his shoulders and looking hard at her, “that was not a request Madeline”

“You cannot force me to go” she said coldly.

“Yes, I can. You were not born a monarch Madeline, you married one. You do not have the final say, I do. Leave us” Madeline stared at him, and it gave him some satisfaction to see her struggling with herself before she smiled.

“Be wary of where you lay your threats, darling. I will draft a response” she put the remote down and finally headed out the door.

As soon as she was gone he locked the door behind her and rushed to Rayne’s side. She looked up at him.

“I can't believe she would do that” she said. Her breathing was returning to normal and she stood up slowly.

“It doesn't matter now. We will deal with it, it will be fine” she frowned at him.

“Liam they're implying that you're keeping me here against my will. Even if I go out there now, you're still going to be under fire from the press. They won't let this go easily”

“We will be fine my love, I will be fine. Do not worry yourself further on my behalf” he needed her to believe him, needed her to take some of the pressure off her shoulders, “and in any case, we had planned to make a statement about the pregnancy in only a few days now that we are out of danger, we will explain that, we will be fine. I promise” he gathered Rayne in his arms and held her close. She didn't relax, she hadn't in days.

“I'm worried for what this means for you”

Rayne walked quickly into the quiet cafe and lit up when she saw her friend sitting at a corner table. Quickly she moved over, and Clair stood up just in time to receive a tight hug. "I'm so sorry I'm late, I honestly didn't think I'd have to take a back entrance... the press have been so persistent lately" she puts down her bag and takes off her heavy coat, sitting down and schooling a warm smile. So expertly had she cultivated that smile that she didn't even think about it anymore, "how have you been?" Clair smiled as she sat back down.

“I am good, Rayne, it is so good to see you” it was refreshing to hear a New York accent, she wasn’t sure she had a very strong one anymore. Clair tented her fingers and rested her elbows on the table between them, and Rayne felt like she was under a microscope as she waited for her friends conclusion, “now, how are you really doing” she smiled again.

"I'm really well. We've been working on a development for Valtoria, it's an unclaimed duchy, it's been fun, but Liam has been putting in a lot of work" Rayne pulled out her phone and smiled at a picture of Liam with Evie and Leo. There was about an hour and a half before she needed to get back. Looking up she saw Clair peering at her phone.

“Rayne you have a beautiful family” she smiled fondly, “so those are my godchildren? Cannot wait to meet them, and I have some time, I can help where ever you need me too. the letter I got said that you needed my help” Rayne froze.

“What?” Clair continued as if nothing she had said was out of the ordinary.

“Honestly I am kinda worried about you”

“No, wait, what letter?” her friend frowned.

“I got a letter and plane ticket that said you needed back-up, don't know who it was from, but I heard that mommy dearest is here so I came as soon as I could” she frowned, “can you tell me what is really going on, but maybe not here, there are too many ears” Rayne stared at her. It was one thing for her to get in touch, another entirely for someone to have called her over. She scanned her friends for who would be the most likely to have contacted Clair. Drake... surely it was him… Clair eyed her with some concern.

“Rayne don't be mad, I have always said if you need me, I would come running, but we both know you are too stubborn for your own good” "Okay" her polite facade was natural to her now, it had been tested enough, "let's go up to the palace. You can meet your godchildren" Clair reached across the table and squeezed her hand.

“I am here because I love you, you are my best friend. you deserve the world” she grinned, “but I need to spoil some babies”

"I..." swallowing hard, Rayne gathered her things and nodded, "come on then" her old smile took over her face, a vulnerable smile that showed too many emotions, "let me show you my home"

“Lead, the way! A palace wow, this will be interesting” Rayne laughed. "That's one way to put it"

The entire drive there Rayne watched nervously as her friend peered out at the city and the route to the palace. She wanted Clair to approve of her new home but was also worried of what had been in that letter, and what her intentions were.

“Okay, Rayne, I can feel you thinking, What is it? What do you want to know?” Clair smiled at her friend, grabbing her hand and giving her a reassuring squeeze.

Rayne was momentarily surprised at the question. Not many people really asked her how she was very often. Liam was there every day, but her other friends weren’t, and though Regina occasionally came by she was more interested in the twins than in Rayne herself. It was something she was accustomed to, but she turned away to think of an answer, because anything she said her friend would see right through. She sighed.

“I was wondering what was in the letter that you received. And also… what you think of my home” she offered a weak smile, then turned to look out the window again. How did her friend bring out the most vulnerable side of her? One she thought didn’t exist anymore.

“Rayne, I have to ask something first, and I ask that you answer me, no bullshit. I you completely happy here?” she answered without hesitation.

“I am, Clair. Overall, I am” she smiled as the car stopped and again as someone opened the door for her, suddenly self-conscious about the way she was treated by the staff. As soon as she stepped out of the car her defences were firmly back in place and she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to see her friend getting out behind her, “ready to meet your godchildren?”

“You mean spoil them, so they love me more than you? Absolutely.” Rayne smiled at her friend, it was a polite smile, but there was genuine appreciation behind it.

“Come on then” she started to lead the way around to her preferred entrance.

“PS, when we are not in front of people, please let me see my friend, flaws and all. Miss that girl” Clair whispered, “I am here to help, I will always have your back.”

“I know that” Rayne smiled politely at the doorman who let them inside and nodded to him, “thank you” before turning back to Clair, “I missed you as well” her friend was smiling at the doorman.

“Hi, I am Rayne’s oldest friend, so if you need any scoop on her, well I cannot help you,” he tried not to smile as Clair followed her friend through the halls.

“Are you going to say that to all the…” Rayne frowned momentarily as she heard footsteps coming from the furthest room, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath, resuming her polite smile. Just who she had hoped to avoid, “good afternoon, Your Majesty” she bowed her head as Madeline approached them, surveying Clair disapprovingly.

“Rayne, shouldn’t you be with your children? As far as I was aware they were the only things you cared about” there was slightly more malice in her voice than usual. As expected, Clair didn’t wait for an introduction.

“Hello, your Majesty, I am Clair Raymonds, I believe we have a meeting in a couple of months, I am a Human Rights Officer, within the UN, and we have you slated to speak about children at risk of exploitation” she smiled at Madeleine, but Rayne knew it was the smile reserved for being was deliberately disrespectful.

“Of course, Miss Raymonds” Madeline barely blinked, “I have the memo on my desk, but I did not expect you to be in the royal wing, and without a proper escort. Lady Rayne does not spend much time out of her apartments” her polite smile sent a shiver down Rayne’s spine, but she didn’t move a muscle.

“Well, your Majesty, it is truly remarkable how increasingly small our world is. Lady Rayne and I have been friends since we were seven. Even college roommates. So when I found out that I was now a godmother, well I dropped everything to come and meet them. Those things, as you put it are the reason, that I am here. And I look forward to getting to know them and your beautiful country better.” Madeline smiled.

“Indeed. We must hope that no ill-fate befalls Lady Rayne” she glanced at her watch, “I am afraid that I will have to leave you. I have a council meeting in less than an hour and need to retrieve a document from my husband, the King” she smirked at Rayne, but she had heard that so many times before that externally it didn’t appear to affect her.

“Give Liam my best, Madeline, if you would be so kind” Rayne smiled, knowing that in no way would that make it back to Liam, who at this time in any case would almost be back.

“It was my pleasure to have met you, Your Majesty, hopefully by the time we see you at the conference, I will have got the council to accept you for one of our chair positions. It would be a great privilege for your small country” still Clair maintained that smirk.

“It would be indeed. I look forward to your favourable observations” she brushed past them and down an adjoining hall towards Liam’s office. Rayne turned to Clair with a strained smile and started to lead them towards her rooms, eager to get back to Leo and Evie.

“So, that was one of our Monarchs, what did you think?” meeting Madeline, especially unexpectedly, was always draining.

“I think I am glad, I am here. Rayne, I will play nice for your sake, but what the HELL? ‘Ill-fate befalls Lady Rayne’, I don’t think that basic …. sorry, my mother told me not to speak ill of the dead” Clair chuckled “but that is a demon”

Despite herself, Rayne laughed, “only towards me and company, which I can deal with” she stopped outside her door and grinned, the unpleasant interaction rolling off her, “are you ready to meet them?”

“Umm yes!!! Open the door already. You are the worst at making me wait for my surprises” Clair laughed.

Rayne rolled her eyes as she opened the door and gestured for her friend to enter, “please be slightly less excitable when you meet them? Come on”

“I will try, but you know how much I love babies, they are cute with their chubby cheeks.” she looked at Rayne, “Ok, I will try, but it isn’t every day you find out you are the godmother to Royal heirs”

“How could I forget your niece? The poor girl is scarred for life” Rayne grinned and led her friend to the nursery. Jackie, the nanny that she finally agreed to, smiled when she met them in the hallway.

“Hey, that was her other Aunt.” Clair protested in regard to her relative.

“You can keep telling yourself that” she turned her smile to Jackie, who greeted them with her warm, motherly smile.

“Good afternoon Rayne, and this must be Clair, wonderful to meet you, I am Jackie” Jackie had been Liam and Leo’s nanny and the first one Rayne trusted to care for the twins.

“Hello, Ms. Jackie, it is so good to meet you as well. Are they asleep?” Clair beamed.

“They just woke up, so you came at a good time, I was trying to find Evelyn’s blanket” Rayne turned to Clair.

“It smells the most like Liam” she explained, then turned back, “I’ll get something from the bedroom. Thank you, Jackie, you can go for today”

“That sounds like a good idea” she smiled, “and thank you, I will see you tomorrow” pulling Rayne into a hug, she squeezed her tightly, before heading out. That hug always lifted her spirits and was one of the reasons she liked her.

“Ok, I am going in, I can help you with diapers and such if you like..” Clair offered, “and you can tell me everything. I need to know how to help you. I can see that everyone on the staff loves you, and from how Cruella treated you... well. I am glad I am here. You need a someone in your corner. That kitty needs to be declawed”

Rayne laughed, “what are you doing to me Clair? I am perfectly comfortable avoiding her. And…” she blushed, the stopped herself, a skill which had taken time, “the staff are nice to everyone. They are all lovely people” she opened the door the nursery and smiled, “feel free to start with that diaper change, I’ll go and get one of Liam’s t-shirts” she started to walk down the hall., hearing her friend speaking to one of the twins.

“Hello, my little prince, I am Clair, your favourite Aunt. Do you need a diaper change?” Rayne smiled as she listened. “Rayne is in trouble, you are a little flirt already.” Clair chuckled.

Once in her room though Rayne gently closed the door behind her and took a deep breath. In no way had she expected that conversation to be so intense, or to meet Madeline in the hall, and the effort to maintain her composure had been draining. Clair was her closest friend, but she wanted to go deeper than anyone she saw regularly other than Liam, and it wasn’t something she wanted or needed. Trying not make any noise, she wiped a few tears from her face and cleared her throat.

“You are stronger than this Rayne… you need to be stronger than this…” after a few moments she stood up straight again and smiled, heading towards Liam’s walk-in robe but stopping when she saw Evie’s blanket on a chair in the corner and smiled, “should have known” Liam brought her in here when she woke up, rather than take her to the living room. She loved that man, him and their children, more than anything.

Walking back to the nursery, Rayne saw Clair at the table along the wall with Leo, and leaned on the doorway for a moment watching them, “having fun?”

“Yep, one down, One to go. This little boy is such a flirt, wonder who he gets that from?” Clair giggled as she lifts Leo up, turning around. “Rayne, I am here until the conference I mentioned, I will let you truly talk to me when you are ready but please, no hiding. I will never judge you, I absolutely will judge the stand in, but only in my head. Mostly”

“I know” Rayne knew that her tone was not as definitive as she would like, and walked in to pick up her daughter, placing her blanket around her and waiting for the table, “and if you’re suggesting that that flirt is his father and that that is all it took? You’re correct” Clair chuckled, nodding to Evelyn.

“If she is not the spitting image of you... Rayne, they are beautiful, does daddy have a brother?” Clair winked.

“Already you ask Clair, I should have expected that” she smiled, and as a matter of fact, he does. I haven’t decided whether to introduce the two of you yet, not if you’re staying in this suite” Leo had managed to find out that Rayne had a friend here, but she hadn’t confirmed for him whether that friend was single or not.

Clair laughed softly, trying not to startle the babies, “I have no idea of what you are talking about. His scent calms her still, huh? So when do I get to meet the father of my godchildren?”

“Sometimes I wonder if my girl recognises that she has two parents” Rayne smiled, leaning her cheek on Evie’s head and swaying slightly, “and Liam should be here really soon, he gets off early today. To meet you, actually” Rayne frowned, “um, what time is it?”

Clair looked at her watch, “It is almost a little after three. I would expect punctuality from His Majesty”

“One of his many excellent qualities. And he should have… been here already” Rayne didn’t want to worry her friend, her near panic was internal, “I’ll message him, can you take her?”

“Sure, I got them if you want to go his office, I will tell them the story of how I met the most tenacious little girl ever.” Clair smiled.

“Good idea, and thank you so much Clair, really” she passed Evie to her friend and pulled out her phone, confirming that she hadn’t received any messages from Liam, “will you be okay with them for a while? His office isn’t too far, I’m sure he’s just caught up with something”

“I have been around babies longer than you, I will be fine. Do what you need to do.” Clair reassured her.

“Will see you soon then” she headed out the door, her gait steadily increasing with her heartbeat as she made her way to the office.

The door was unlocked, and no one answered her knock. There was something wrong, she hadn’t allowed herself to believe it before, but something was wrong. Not hearing any voices, Rayne gently pushed open the door and looked to the desk.

“Liam!” she ran over to him and around the desk. The King didn’t move. Still sitting in his chair, his head was resting face down on his arm and his desk, surrounded by the work he had been doing and still with a pen in his slack hand. Rayne shook him, but he didn’t move, leaning down close she tried to blink away her tears, begging for him to still be breathing, “please…” she whispered to him, turning his head and placing her fingers near his nose to feel the intake and exhale of breath there. She almost collapsed, that moment of panic still overwhelming her. There was no explanation for him to be unconscious here, but then she noticed the document directly beneath him, and saw the messy scrawl of a bad imitation of Liam’s signature. Gently pulling the document out from under him she stared at the heading, frozen.

Rage took her over.

Semester 1

Semester 1 has ended, finally! It felt like it went by very quickly and very slowly, at the same time.

We started off as having 12 people in the program, but became 11 after Nesha left (hurhur) but I’m so glad to be able to have met them, including some of the people from BIA (okay, actually, I’m only close-ish to one of them but I guess the others are okay as well, hahah). It started off slightly awkward, but I’m glad we got to go on the Mah Meri trip, because we got to learn so much stuff and also do so much nonsense that broke the ice; late night swims after closing hours, pool, snooker and karaoke, and long conversations about random stuff (and also listening to instrumental music under the stars).

Anyway, I’m not gonna say that everything went swimmingly, but I guess we learnt to cope (and pretend to be not panicking while we go through the long nights). I know everyone was super stressed and tired at the end but I’m grateful, I guess, that the shortest sleep I had was only 2 hours while some of the others literally went to the assessment with no sleep at all. Aaaand then the assessment had to be dragged on, some more.

But I guess in the end it was worth it (I guess?). I began the semester by doubting myself and whether I even had a place in this degree program, and now I’m still doubting myself but at least there’s some validation from the assessors that I’m somewhat on the right track. Creative Thinking was okay - it went the best out of everything, really. The only thing I got shot about there was ‘cause I didn’t test out my card game and that my typography is a bit wonky, but the other feedback was good (apparently I have a strong sense of design and I can solve problems well HAHA I hope that’s true, cause there’s like, 8 more semesters to go).

By this time 3 modules were supposed to have finished but we finished one, so after “lunch”, I just sat on the floor caressing the pillows while my lecturers laughed at me and then I went and lied down on it with Jess so that was fun.

Intro to Computer Graphics was okay. Miss Bibi said that she got more and more impressed with my content as I progressed, and the downside was that the content wasn’t super cohesive. Design Thinking was ok, the flower fairy lights may be brought to be patented (or to the lighting hub or something?) but we got shot on our choice of material (but I mean, we’re broke - we have no money to go buy aluminium pipes). Drawing Tech was meh (I didn’t like my work and the background was to flat) and I didn’t like History of Art, but the assessors really liked all our outfits (to the point we might need to have an exhibition/ photoshoot next year, what even). Some of my final assignments got kept back for a display at the open day as well so!!!! Yey!!

But, yeah, the semester’s ended and after I got home from dinner at 10, I just slept the whole day. Woke up late, and then fell asleep like 3 more times ahah.

Okay, anyway, the whole point of this blabbering post is to sum up what I’ve learnt this sem (apart from losing my English skills, which is a real bummer).

What I’ve learnt that I’m grateful for - That you have to embed your photos in Illustrator - How to go to a printing shop - How to be thick-skinned and ask for reprints, or stay over 2 hours to fix your own file/ get your alignment right - That in Illustrator, there are apparently INVISIBLE shit that is still there when you make clipping masks that will throw your alignment off - Expand your drawings. - Image trace is a thing that will make your life easier. - Rubbish can make beautiful things. - My hoarding tendencies have paid off (like, I bought mirror tiles a few years ago when I was still in high school and never used them and bam, super useful in Uni hahah). - Buy lots of UHU glue because they will always come in handy. - The top of the blade can actually be taken out to break your blade so that it’s still sharp (I lived my whole life not knowing this wth). - There are quite a bit of craft shops around Sunway. - How to make do with what you have. - How to make my watercolours darker. - 3 point perspective drawing. Figure drawing. How to use colour pencils. - WHEN YOU MIX YOUR MEDIA (eg watercolours with colour pencils) IT IS ACTUALLY REALLY PRETTY. - Sometimes, you should just say no even when you want to show face. - Be good in all the work you do. Be hardworking and diligent, because news travels. - To not compare your work. Chances are, the person you’re comparing your work to is doing the same to you. And their work is good, but so is yours. - How to bs. - Plan your time out well, because if you don’t, you will die in the end. I felt that I planned it out okay, but there were times I still just sat down and cried while doing my work. So. Plan everything out. - How to treat yourself and just take an Uber/ Grab to the shops sometimes because walking with so many bags is just horrible. - You are not alone in your panicking. - Experiment with your art, because there’s so much to make. - I still kinda hate mindmaps. I’m so grateful for all of my lecturers, although one made us all really stressed out. They’ve given great advice about the industry, and just in general, caring for us and taking our bs/ bs-ing with us, and being kind to us even when we took it for granted (Miss Helen’s patience is what I aspire to have man. If I was in her place, I’d have scolded all of us so much already). Even the guest assessor was really nice hahah.

So yah. Grateful. Still kinda tired right now, and not ready for Sem 3 (cause Sem 2 is only MPUs so). Thankful that God brought me through with help from so many people, and gave me happy moments to focus on when I just wanted to wallow in a pit of sadness. Now, onwards to camp. :)
