#but that's okay!

[lit-in-thy-heart]

been trying out a new writing technique recently and it's called chilling tf out and reminding myself that fic is written for fun.

#making a little joke but also being genuinely serious #with my merwaincelot wip i've embraced having little overviews in brackets for what i want to happen #but idk how to write it just yet #if i'm feeling stuck or bored #and if i'm getting tired or the idea of writing an ending is getting overwhelming then i just call it a day and do something else #and yeah it's taking longer to write things (perhaps gone are the days when i wrote and posted a fic in the same night) #but it's working wonders with my brain #and it's amazing how as soon as i relax i get hit with several new ideas #just trying to adjust my thinking in that projects over a long period of time are not something to worry about #like i'm also planning a knitting project that i'll be doing well into september #(mainly bc yarn is expensive and my needs are hella specific) #but that's okay! #not everything has to be done and dusted immediately! #i'm glad i took a break from writing and i think it did do me good but damn i'm happy to be back #and enjoy still learning how to get even more out of my hobby #but anyway i'm just feeling a lil proud of myself today so #lit talks #personal

Tango taps the tip of his wooden sword against the ground.

"You're absolutely certain that this is a good idea, Jimmy?" he asks. About two paces away, Jimmy stands with his sword awkwardly balanced in one hand. He looks a little lost, holding the sword like it might cut him, despite it being poorly carved wood and not the gleaming metal sword sitting in its holster back inside their ranch house. But as soon as Tango speaks up, he steels his expression, grip changing on his sword to hold it with a bit more strength.

"Absolutely, Tango," he says, nodding. "I know what you've said—"

"PvP isn't my specialty," Tango hums, grinning. His tail flicks back and forth behind him. It might not be his specialty, but he'd be lying if it wasn't fun to whack his friends with practice swords—even if he ended up being the person with the most bruises. Jimmy laughs, rocking on his heels.

"I promise I'll go easy on you, yeah?" he says, leaning on the sword pressed into the earth. "I won't hit you too hard with the sword."

Tango barks out a laugh.

"That's good to know!" he says, shoulders shaking with laughter. Jimmy's, what, a head taller than him? And much broader, that's for sure, even how he stands with a slight curve to the tips of his shoulders, trying to make himself smaller. He steadies his stance, nodding in Tango's direction. Tango lifts his sword.

"You ready?" he asks. Jimmy nods, mouth curving into a smile.

"Just come'n hit me, Tango!" he quips.

He does.

He swings up and their swords clack together, Jimmy startling as he jerks to block Tango’s swing. Tango feels the jolt spike up his arm and oh, man, all at once does he remember how much he’s missed this. How often did he get a chance to just throw himself at his friends, not to mention that this was Jimmy, and not knowing Jimmy as well meant he couldn’t predict movements like he could with Impulse, or Skizz, and Jimmy shoves him back. Tango stumbles, steels, swings again, fumbling when Jimmy blocks with a bit more determination. Jimmy comes back around, switching the sword to his right hand, knocking Tango’s arm back. Tango wobbles, ducking the next swing, just barely, laughing as he does. Jimmy does, too, the sound bubbling up in his chest as Tango swipes left, trying to catch him off guard. It works for a moment, as Jimmy startles, fumbling with his sword, catching himself at the last moment to block Tango’s swing. They smack into each other, the side of Jimmy’s sword hitting hard into Tango’s knuckles. Tango yelps, jerking back, barking out a laugh as he drops his sword.

“Ow!”

Jimmy gasps, sword falling from his hand. 

“Oh my god!” he jerks forward, reaching for Tango’s hand. “Tango, I’m so sorry!”

Tango holds his hand limply as the pain spikes through it—it stings actually, it bites a bit bad, he won’t lie! He’s gotten his hands stuck in a few gears before, and this was pretty similar, if he had to put a name to the pain. Jimmy takes it gently between his own, looking over his swelling knuckles.

“Aw,” he tsks, frowning. He looks like a kicked dog, like that, Tango realizes, his brown eyes wide and eyebrows creased. All he needed were some floppy ears and he’d have the whole look sealed. “I think it’s gonna bruise.”

“That’s alright,” Tango says lamely, suddenly acutely aware of how gingerly Jimmy’s running his thumb over the not-so-bruised parts of Tango’s hand. It’s really nice. It kind of makes him think a little less about the pain and a little more about how he needs to bite his tongue before he says something completely stupid and dumb like:

“Worth it.”

Jimmy blinks at him. Then he grins.

“Really?” he snorts, wrinkling his nose.

Tango laughs, something a bit thin and wheezy, like he’s about to start coughing at any second from how it hits his throat wrong. Jimmy’s still holding fast to his hand, slightly clammy and pretty warm all things considered.

“Alright,” he says, finally swayed. “Maybe not. But that was fun!”

Jimmy gives his hand a light squeeze before he drops it.

“Well as long as you’re fine…” he hums, raising his eyebrows. Tango nods, sure and confident.

“I’m fine,” Tango says, stretching out his fingers. He can feel a bruise starting to form over his knuckles that’ll take a day or so to start turning colors, but for now he shakes it out, collecting his sword from the ground. “Nothin’ a little TLC can’t fix.”

Jimmy laughs again, tipping his head back. He shakes his head as he hefts the wooden practice sword onto his shoulder. Tango watches just for a moment. Maybe it’s something about the orange-yellow, almost-sunset light, or maybe it’s the yellow in Jimmy’s eyes, or some type of glow about him, but he looks nice. He looks a little disheveled, and a bit tired, and he’s still trying to catch his breath, but Tango smiles back at him like he’s the prettiest thing he’s seen in a long, long time.

“Let’s go get you some ice, yeah?” Jimmy says, waving him over. Tango nods. Of course he’ll follow.

you are inspiring me to read the martian. it has been languishing on my shelf for like 5 years

IT'S REALLY GOOD.

Like okay I'm not saying it's perfect, right? Because there are a couple things about weir's writing that get on my nerves, but overall they're pretty small nitpicks.

The science is pretty easy to digest even for people who don't know a lot about that kind of stuff (like me) and I personally really loved the main character's irreverent attitude and his crass sense of humour!

also, i feel like it showcases the best of what humanity could be. it was really great seeing the world come together to cheer on the survival of this one man, and given the protagonist's very bleak circumstances, i loved how Weir was able to bring levity to the story while still keeping me on the edge of my seat from suspense.

#the martian #anon asks #booklr #book talk #my tumblr is starting to gear more towards books recently #it's because as i grow older i find myself less and less tolerant of some of the more grating tropes in shounen anime #i still follow and absolutely adore one piece #but i haven't really picked up any new anime or manga for a long time now #because every time i try one i just cannot deal with all the...everything #i've been experiencing the same thing with ya books as well #but that's okay! #i'm enjoying seeing how my tastes evolve over time! #also that isn't to say i'm going to be completely moving away from manga and ya #just that i'm branching out into more kinds of media #i've been thinking of starting dungeon meshi recently

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update: I'm unpublishing my Pat3on page and posting all the good stuff from there in the coming days. Studies are calling, so I might be off the radar for a bit. 

But I’m diving into commissions and the Big Bang project I’m still working on so -– Keep an eye out for what I finish up in my free time, just to assure you that I'm very much alive and kicking xD

Also, thank you to those who continued to support me through my 2-year run on Pat3on! I just can't predict my art schedule now, though I plan to make tutorials, stickers, prints, and more in the future.

When I can commit to more content, I'll relaunch my Pat3on. For now, I'll stick to my Ko-fi☕

Wishing you guys a wonderful day ahead! If you're interested in supporting me, you can find all my socials on my Carrd. Your comments and reblogs fuel me 💖🔥

#my schedule really isn't fitting in with the monthly arts thing ''xD #but that's okay! #can keep a secret for the life of me anyways so I'll keep posting here once I get something done xD #Will be posting all the FebArtPrompts here soon! #JSnote

Taichi: Jesus, both of you look like shit.

Kiyotaka and Takaaki, overworked: We feel like shit.

Chihiro: *sighs*

Mikan: I-Is this usually a common occurrence?

Akane: Usually, yeah!

Mikan: Th-That's not good! A-At all!

Aoi: We've told them that. They still do it!

Mikan:...

Mikan then proceeded to force the two to bed, revoking their working privileges. The two laid in bed, tears in their eyes of not being able to do their duties.

So, I ended up updating because I had a brain fart and started replacing my mods already. But because I know most of my mods are still broken, I am playing 100% vanilla right now, and decided to make a build based on the NSB mint generation.

So that’s how i ended up with Chocolate Mint - it’s not the most matchy house ever, but I like it, personally, so I decided to share it as a shell. There will be another version with a fully decorated interior coming as well, but for now, the only version available on my gallery page is the shell.

100% CC free!

I have decided today, literally just now, that tonight when I get home, I'll prep to make Dec. my NaNo month. I had completely forgotten November was NaNoWriMo, and I feel like next month will be relatively freer for me than it was anyways, so this feels solid. This feels like a good idea.
