hello!!! little life update below the cut, not rlly all that art related so feel free to scroll past ₍^. ̫.^₎ .𖥔 ݁ ˖
firstly thank u for your continued loveliness while ive been gone!! im hoping im able to draw again soon bc i miss sharing my silly little dc scribbs with you all sm :'3
anyway oughghg,, so ive mentioned it a few times on here but over the last year my physical health took a really unexpected turn. it's been difficult to adapt to as someone who grew up fully able-bodied and ive lost most of my friendships along the way since i cant really go out and travel to see people anymore, i think most people where im from are just more comfy looking the other way with these things but it's still just kind of tricky to try to deal with it all on my own. anyway today, after being completely stuck inside for weeks due to mobility issues, i finally got a wheelchair. having v complicated feelings about it all (bit of imposter syndrome lol) but im hoping having some freedom to get out n about again will help bring back a little bit of motivation to sketch!! the combo of fatigue, pain in my hands, and just being stuck inside for weeks on end has made drawing feel impossible recently and ive rlly been missing it so im hoping this can help get things rolling again. even though things r kinda balls rn i'll always do my best to stay optimistic bc no matter what there are always more cool bugs to find and little cats to pet in the world. i hope you all had a happy holiday season, thank you for sticking around (ˊᗜˋ*) ♡

Jiung ✧ Home
✧ P1Harmony Jiung x gn!reader ✧ words: ~600 ✧ genre: fluff, comfort ✧ warnings: (him running his fingers through reader's hair)
Tumblr media
You don’t know how much time has passed since you arrived at Jiung’s place and you sat down on the sofa next to him, resting your heavy head on his left shoulder. All you know is that you’ve been watching him do little drawings in a sketchbook for a while now, and you lost count of how many times he’s turned pages because he already filled the last one up with his scribbles. You know that he sometimes sits down to draw for however long he feels like in order to clear his head. As for you, watching him draw almost has a therapeutic effect on you. You love watching the way he lets the tip of whatever pen was closest to him when he decided to start drawing race across the paper at times, or how he moves it very slowly, adding some detail to the drawing. You too can let go of your thoughts as you get lost in the countless lines and shapes he puts down on the paper. Usually, watching him sketch is simply a fun pastime for you, but today you really need the distraction. 
“How long are you gonna keep watching me for?” You can hear Jiung’s calm voice interrupting the silence around you. He doesn’t take his eyes off the paper in front of him while speaking. 
“I don’t know,” you retort briefly, not really having the motivation to talk. An endearing smile appears on your boyfriend’s face. He adds some finishing details to his sketch and then turns a page before glancing over at you.
“What’s wrong, love?” he mumbles. He lets go of the sketchbook that he’s been holding with his left hand so far and rests it on his thighs, so that he can reach out and wrap his fingers around your hand instead.
“Just… a lot’s been going on,” you say, keeping your answer vague. Truth be told, you don’t want to talk about all the things that are plaguing your thoughts all day anyway, and instead just enjoy the time you have with Jiung, being just amongst yourselves.
“Don’t wanna tell me?” he assumes. You shake your head, rubbing your cheek against his shoulder in the process. He carefully puts the pen and the sketchbook aside so he can sit more comfortably, and then he puts his arms around you, so you can rest your head against his chest. “Don’t you think it would help you, though?” he pries, but you don’t change your mind.
“No,” you mutter. “Maybe later, but for now this is enough.” You close your eyes for a while, just enjoying having him close to you, and the way his warmth makes you feel cozy inside. “You know that feeling,” you continue, your voice a mere whisper, “when you come home after a long day and you feel yourself slowly recharge, simply because you’re somewhere familiar and comfy?”
“Of course,” Jiung answers.
“That’s kinda what it feels like to be with you,” you say. Silence follows, and from the way you can hear your boyfriend’s heartbeat speeding up in his chest close to your ear, you can tell that he’s simply too flustered to find a good answer quickly. If you were to open your eyes and look up at him now, you might even see him blush.
“Oh,” he eventually answers, sounding a little awkward, but still deeply touched. “That’s good then… isn’t it?” Jiung lifts his hand to put it on top of your head, and he runs his fingers through your hair in a slow and comforting manner. It’s almost as if he was trying to protect you from whatever made you feel bad in the first place. “I’m glad,” he eventually adds while pulling you a bit closer in his embrace, “that I can be a person like that for you.”

I have a day off today, so I’m ducking in to tell y’all a little bit about how things are going!
I’ve taught my first classes! Most of them I’ve had another teacher assisting me, but yesterday I did my first solo class. It was... okay lol. One of the boys disengaged the moment I said I don’t speak Japanese so they have to speak English, and proceeded to yawn audibly through all activities and pretend to be asleep when spoken to (which I put on my lesson report form, so the regular teacher will hopefully tell him off haha).
On that note... Japanese kids really are like any other kids. Everyone said to me before I went, “ohhh I bet Japanese kids are so well-behaved and respectful!” I can assure you they are not lmao. Some are, others are little terrors.
I’ve had some really wholesome moments. The other day during one of the younger classes this one boy (~3 years old) was mostly a little terror, running around all the time and hiding in the corner. But then during story time he sat in my lap and directed me to hold him. Then later in the lesson he went and hid in the corner again, so I went over to him and asked if he was okay. And he just snuggled into me, so we spent the rest of the class like that.
So far 4-5 year-olds are my favourites to teach. You can be so fun and silly with them! Sure, they don’t want to sit down and do things, but I’ve found some useful hacks already (pro-tip: if you let them rub things off the whiteboard or draw a shape for answering questions correctly, they’ll suddenly be very, very attentive)
I enjoy this kind of teaching a LOT more than teaching on italki. The lesson prep I have to do is minimal and all time outside of teaching is my own, basically. Not to mention it’s much more active and I don’t spend my life hunched over a desk!
Speaking of free time, I spend most of it studying languages and it’s awesome!
My Japanese level is definitely improving. My speaking not so much, but my comprehension for sure. The kids do speak Japanese in class, both to each other (obviously) and to me, and I’m rapidly getting used to certain words and speech patterns.
I can also now more or less get through interactions at train stations and konbinis! I even managed to ask a police lady for directions the other day (go me being so panicked about being late for my train I didn’t even care that my Japanese was broken af. Literally like, if I don’t at least try to speak Japanese rn I’m going to miss my train and be late for my classes)
I’ve learned that despite being in the country, active studying is really important. I’ve not learned anything through pure osmosis; I’ve only learned through active studying and then having the immersion reinforce it. So yes, my level is improving because I’m in the country and surrounded by the language, but I have to put in the effort first.
Also, the general level of English in Japan is not high. I’ve been spoilt by travelling around Europe where I can usually find someone who speaks broken English well enough to help me if I’m stuck (or if not then I can communicate in broken French/German/Spanish), and coming to Japan and being lost at a train station and literally not being able to communicate is a HUGE motivation to get good at the language quick!
I LOVE Yamagata! There was a snowstorm the day after I moved in and I feel like I live in a winter wonderland. I can see the mountains almost everywhere I go in the city. It’s not a busy city, and every train ride makes me feel like I’m in a Studio Ghibli movie. I love it I love it I love it.
I also love the dialect here! It’s easy to understand and it’s kinda musical!
My personal supervisor (PS) is awesome and has been super helpful. I’m so grateful! A lot of people from my training course have said that their PSs haven’t given them much/any orientation, whereas mine helped me set up my internet and a Japanese bank account as well as went over my schedule with me and ensured I did at least a week of teaching with someone else in the classroom before I was on my own.
I’ve only met 3 of my colleagues, but they’re all nice. One of them lives in my block and we’ll teach together for two days next week. Another of them loves the snow and the cold as much as I do, and I think we’ll get on super well.
My flat is tiny. It’s basically one room! But it has loads of storage space and being as small as it is means it’s super easy to heat (which is fortunate, because it was -10ºC the other night).
The tap water tastes great! In Nagoya it tasted so fucking weird I couldn’t even drink it. But here it’s awesome.
I’m enjoying trying new things! I’m going through all the different candies/chocolate brands at konbinis and supermarkets and I’ve hardly had the same thing twice since I got here (including bento). This is super different to how I was in the UK, where I was stuck in a routine and knew what I liked and didn’t want to go out of my comfort zone.
So yeah, I went from crying and wondering if I’d made a huge mistake the first 2-3 days of being here to absolutely thriving less than a month later. I’m so happy right now, truly living my dream, finally able to flourish and grow in a way I always knew deep down I could.

PARAMORE RELEASED THEIR A24 TRIBUTE COVER TODAY. AND I GOT INSPIRED BY THE LYRICS AND THE VISUALIZER.
youtube
IMAGE CREDITS BC VERY OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PIC COLLAGE PIECE PRIMARILY BELOW DESC (I DID NOT TAKE THE COOL PICS OBV.)
OK GIANT CREDIT BLOCK GO (Freepik and pexels my beloved saved my entire college year lmao):
1 OCEAN WAVES
2 OCEAN WAVES AGAIN
3 YES A THIRD OCEAN WAVE
4 VERY COOL DROPLETS
5 FLAME. OO FIRE PRETTYYY /POS
6 BG I CHEATED YOU INTO BELIEVING IS RAIN
The drawing though is made by my acoustic arse /lh
THE LYRICS ARE TAKEN FROM THE VID I LINKED. HAYLEY'S VOICE MY BELOVED AND FOREVER DEAREST ENTIRE BAND /POSPOSPOS. I wanna sing like Hayley so badly, she is such an idol to me, when it comes to vocals and I wish to sing as expressive as her some day 🤧✨💖
--
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY, OTHER THAN I'VE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH SHORT DRAWINGS, THAT TAKE UNDER A DAY TO COMPLETE TO FIGURE OUT SOME THINGS I WANNA DO AS AN ARTIST AND POSSIBLY COMMISSIONS. + These drawings genuinely kinda de-stress so it's been free therapy too, oops. I wanna do more of these vector-style drawings, that are just me taking lyrics and creating these fun collages, of things that inspire me or I like. It's a chill practice and lets my creativity actually do the work for once, instead of my usual need to outdo myself in every drawing and improve lmao. Improvement is cool and all, but dear god did I not realise how hard my need for perfection last year stress and strangle me tf out. I seriously need to re-evaluate the way I approach art as this massive, intimidating medium, when most artists literally draw for fun, and for me it's been like...A Sisyphean task.
--
If you enjoyed seeing this, I might make a sequel with C'est Comme Ca and w/ Marco in it instead and a red BG,, if I want to, I might turn these into a series, just like those aesthetic icon drawings I made of my 2 boys, started Lotta, and IMMEDIATELY lost that sketch due to my USB's death back in 2022 and lost all motivation for art due to that massive loss /neg
--
Not sure what else to add here other than my thoughts that I already did!! Other than ofc, the usual, MASSIVE thank you to my friend Hollowed-Hartlocke for introducing me to Paramore back in 2019 <3
Think I'm done rambling now tho!! OH WAIT. I can add, that I had to actually pull out Adobe Illustrator just to add stretched text for aesthetic purposes. Then I got so impatient with the effects panel not showing me the usual layer-effects and me being too lazy to look up, whether InDesign was the one, that had the usual layer effects I use in an Adobe program or not. Btw still mooching off my college acc that shoulda been dead long ago but just isn't??? LMAO I'M STILL GONNA USE IT IF I CAN ALRIGHT.
OH YEAH BTW. This drawing took 3 hours. NO I'M NOT KIDDING. PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY BE SHOCKED THAT SUCH A LAZY LOOKING PIECE TOOK SO LONG. BUT I GENUINELY AM RATHER SHOOK THAT I TOOK SUCH LITTLE TIME TO CREATE THIS. TBF I threw MOST proportion checks and canvas flips I do out the window, so there's a BIG chance I will hate this, if I flip the canvas xD ANYWAY I RAMBLED LONG ENOUGH I THINK NOW. JUST ENJOY EXPERIMENTAL ART
^Before-bed edit; Yeah his torso's a TAD too much leaning to the left, it's off-center to the rotation of his pelvis to be in fact, but maybe? I'll roll with this mistake. It kinda gives the piece its abstract nature..I kinda like the mistake?? This is the first time in my life I ever tolerated a mistake I did and now declare it on purpose and will probably build one into the next piece as well. Hell, maybe it'll yield an interesting result. Anyway, it's 12PM as I write this, and I have to get up at 4AM for my train soOooo, yeah, gotta sleep ASAP for school.
I have NO clue again what to 100% accurately tag this, so forgive me if the tags are wrong LMAO, I just will believe what I believe it has overlaps w/ within art-genre.
This piece kiiinda gives pop art??? So I'm gonna tag it as such as well, but but might be incorrect. If a pop-art enjoyer wants to correct me, PLEASE DO. I'm going off the definitions of pop-art I learned in high-school. So I could most def be wrong about me adding this tag in particular. How tf do people confidently tag their posts when I doubt almost every tag I add man. Tagging is the worst part of uploading art to me due to how hard it is to label art really, not meant to be in a genre. xD
Def adding Paramore tags tho bc I NEED to know more Paramore fans out there bc we feel like such a tiny community, when they're literally one of the most influential rock bands of the 2000s and 2010s imho AUGH

A little insight into my mind...
What's crazy is that I used this blog to escape some issues I had (the issues I was tripping about a few months ago). And it was also so I could learn to interact better online as well as improve my art skills. The only mistake I made was trying to ignore my issues. Escape is fine but you have to confront them. So when I finally confronted my issues, it really made me lose motivation due to the pent up stress I was holding in for nearly 10 years (over 20 with other things). So that's why I would have to go on hiatus often. I was ignoring my issues until they became too much. But its all dealt with now. Sad how some things had to end tho.
And now, I've been training my mind to enjoy what I used to again. Like drawing. And also training my mind to enjoy things I didn't before so I can do the things I'd rather hire someone else to do for me. Its kinda neat how we can rewire our minds after stress. Different ways to do it & the best methods are when another helps you.
I want to draw today, but Idk if I will. So I think I should just start making myself draw like its a work schedule. Otherwise nothing will get done. Motivation is great but so are healthy habits. Healthy habits contribute to motivation. And I'm honestly tired of sitting on 4 or 5 unfinished comics... 😅 maybe even 6 or 7. I kinda lost track and forgot. But with less stress, I should be able to focus more and finish projects. That stress was really messing me up mentally and physically. I used to take medicine for my migraines, then I started feeling better when I got rid of some stress (be careful with getting off of medicine tho cause its different for everyone and you may need a doctor to help you so your health is okay). Then I wore shades all the time to stop my migraines, and I don't need those anymore either after I got rid of more stressful things in my life. I had a whole change in a year to where my health greatly improved once I let go of more and more stress. I sleep better too & my mood has become much more joyful.
That's it. Just felt like talkin

Twilight Advent, Day 4
Masterpost/prompts
Dec. 4 - Pick a Twilight couple (canon or AU) and tell us/draw their favorite way to snuggle.
Well, that intriguing parenthetical opened up a rat's nest of intertwining (and kinda nsfw? and also slashy--you've been warned) headcanons, here, so, sorry, please buckle up. I've been meaning to write about the role headcanons can play in fic writing for awhile, and at some point an even longer writing meta is due, but today I'll get straight to the point even though this will in no way be brief--I enjoy writing fic precisely because it lets me think about characterization in a deep and complicated way. I'm always writing fic to get at the characters first and the situation second. It's even embedded in the title of my tumblr.
When I write an AU, I don't consider myself to be writing a different version of the characters. I consider myself to be writing the same characters, with all the same personalities, motivations, concerns, and fatal flaws, just having gone through or going through different circumstances. Kairos Carlisle is "Sensitivity" Carlisle is Patroclus Carlisle is Ithaca Carlisle; same guy, different situations. It’s why all my AUs have a clear point at which they’ve diverged from canon—I’m experimenting with the character by changing their world and letting their world change them.
So the underlying headcanon. Carlisle is badly, badly touch-starved. His nurse cuddled him and snuggled him—and he was with her for a long time—but he eventually left nurse and went back to London and to his father, who was much more concerned that Carlisle be saved than that he feel loved. They had little to no physical contact. Just at the very moment when he might have married, become sexually active, and had children of his own to cuddle, he gets stripped of his human life and for his own safety, has to separate from humankind altogether for many years. Then, he finally finds friendship and companionship, but in a man whose touch violates every snippet of his privacy. And still he stays, far longer than he ought, before setting out again for another century and a half, until he brings home a seventeen-year-old boy and spends three entire days just holding him.
Carlisle craves physical contact with those he loves.
Edward does not care for this. He's turned at the very moment in his development in which he is perfectly primed to be absolutely mortified by parental physical contact (and there's no small amount of gay panic on both their parts about it anyway). So it's still mostly just the occasional shoulder pat; the joy and surprise when Edward hugs him on occasion.
It's not until Esme arrives, and after they navigate their collective fears and traumas, that he manages to actually be touched. To have someone who hugs him, and strokes his back, and runs her fingers through his hair, who kisses not just his lips but his head, his shoulders, his chest. Sexual intimacy is his first real physical intimacy of his very long life.
So. For this prompt, a canon snuggle, and an AU snuggle for this guy for whom touching those he loves is his source of highest joy:
He could lie naked with Esme forever. And he tries to, a lot. Although they know their children are a little squicked out by the idea of hearing or sensing them having intercourse, and of course that's one reason they go to great lengths (islands!) to be separate from them, a big part of the reason they often totally relocate in order to have sex is that Carlisle really wants to just lie there, with both their clothes off, for as long as he can possibly get away with it; days if they can manage it. So they leave so that nobody has to worry about having to scramble back into pants or a dress at an inopportune time, so that he can just place his head on Esme's breasts and they can interlock legs and he can just get lost in not being entirely certain where his skin stops and hers begins. In Kairos, he finally gets to have the physical intimacy with Edward he's always longed for. This AU takes place in a world in which he had a sexual partner for eighty-five years and so his intimacy with Edward takes a different form, not to mention that Edward is still quite bashful about it all. Their favorite snuggle is to sit on the floor, with Carlisle's back against the couch and Edward using him as a recliner as he sits between Carlisle's legs. Clothes, no clothes; doesn't matter as much to these two. From there, Carlisle can run his hands through Edward's hair, kiss the nape of his neck or behind his hear, and bury his nose next to Edward's scalp to inhale his scent. They're not altogether very different things than what he would prefer to do in a fatherly way in canon; the difference is that in the AU world, the chips have fallen such that this time, Edward is willing to let him.

— five nights at freddys: security breach.
— sun & moon with a teenage!reader.
— warnings: reader does math but sun & moon help.
— authors notes: had this thought in my head while heading to bed so i honestly just had to write it before i lost motivation. honestly made this kinda self indulgent so reader might seem a bit autistic or at the very least easily overwhelmed.
Tumblr media
it was weird to see people over the age of eleven around the daycare; especially when it was a fifteen year old teen with other friends closer to their age. the attendants of superstar daycare knew you had those, just about everytime you visited, there was always at least one other teenager with you, seemingly dropping you off. originally they thought you were just pranking them until seeing how well you got along with the kids. around other kids your age and adults, you were quiet, shy, and even a little reserved. normally you didnt talk, or make many actions. honestly it looked like you had a pair of earbuds in with music playing as you had just quietly sat off to the side, listening to people when they talked to you, or listening in on conversations.
but around the daycare attendants and younger kids, you were especially lively. eventually they got used to seeing your face around, and even made the extra effort to give you a friendly greeting !! you played with the kids no matter what they were playing, made crafts with sun and the smaller ones, you even helped moon get them settled down for naptime, but one thing they noticed were that you always had your earbuds in, commonly checking your music, or changing it to a different song. they also noticed that on days where you didnt have your music, you were especially anxious, and easily overwhelmed.
theyve seen some of the kids comforting you whenever youve felt too overwhelmed from the sounds, environment, or even just the texture, as well as spotted some of your more teenage friends dropping stuff off for you to help calm you. moon and sun eventually noticed that you dont really go anywhere but the daycare. there have been the rare occasions that you went out with some friends for an hour or two before coming back. it was wonderful !! they thought your company was quite lovely. they never wouldve expected such shy and quiet, yet easily excitable and friendly behaviour from a teenager your age.
today, however, was a rather quiet day at the daycare. less kids were there to watch the show, or simply for other matters. but you were there, like normal. it was the usual, just like any other average day you came by. you were brought in by the group of teenagers you seemed to hang out with, the tallest letting you know where to find them, and that if you couldnt to just text them before they went on their way. like usual, sun greeted you with his cheery mood, but something seemed off today. you looked stressed, and like you were about to break down at any given minute, despite the music that played over your earbuds.
currently, you could be found in the arts and crafts section, avoiding the few kids that lingered around the daycare playing tag. you were reading something while writing and also drawing something. it wasnt long until sun came to investigate what was wrong, craning his head away from the group of children, and over to your lowered head as you struggled to understand something. you looked upset, like you wanted to just angrily close the book and toss it into a garbage bin before playing with the kids.
he made his way to you, taking a seat on your right side. honestly, you wouldnt have noticed him if it werent for the looming shadow he cast over you while trying to look at what you were reading. when you took your right earbud out, that's when he processed that it was okay to talk. “ why are you not playing with the other kids, sunshine? ” his rays spun in confusion as you moved your head up to look at him, eyes following just a few seconds behind. it took you a moment before you managed to respond. “ im... uh... i-.. im working on studying for exams... ” you mumbled out shyly, fidgeting with your mechanical pencils. the smile on his face seemed to soften with his tone.
“ you look stressed... if you want to, you can go play with the kids for now, and maybe moon can help you during naptime? ” the tall animatronic tried to throw out a suggestion. it wasnt good to be stressed !! nonono it really wasnt. he watched as you gave a small glance to a few of the kids playing out in the open, trying to catch kids in the play structures. “ or, if you want, i could try to help !! ” your attention turned to sun before you shook your head with a shy smile, getting up out of the short seat. “ ill work on it during naptime... could you make sure my papers dont get lost, mr sunny? ” “ of course !! ” he grinned happily, waving you bye as you ran off to join the smaller kids.
.
when naptime came around, the kids were far more exhausted then moon wouldve expected them to be, everyone kinda just falling asleep wherever was comfortable for them. but as he expected, you still stayed awake. and like sun had offered, moon was willing to help you with studying. you waited idly beside him as he pulled down a folder with your papers in it before handing it to you. begrudgingly, you took the papers. youd rather do anything else instead of schoolwork. but itd be worth it in a week.
what you hadnt been expecting was a helpful answer tip sheet inside of the folder, with a note from sun. you could tell who it was from just based off of the smiley face and the small sun in the corner. it was a reassuring note. you couldnt help but smile at the note, hearing a hum from moon before the animatronic spoke up. “ what class are you studying for? ” he questioned, taking a gander inside of the book you had been looking in. “ its... uh.. math. ” you felt yourself cringe at the mention of the topic. math truly wasnt your strong suit as moon shifted his seat to sit closer. it would make it easier for him to help as you tried your best to start back up.
you knew his gaze was fixated on the paper. he was keeping an eye on what you were writing down, referencing back to the book before reaching over and lightly tapping on where you messed up. “ thats supposed to be an improper fraction. ” he informed, gaining a puzzled look for a moment before it clicked in your head, you quickly changing your answer. “ like that? ” “ yes ! and... that— ” he tapped his finger against the paper again, right where you had been working on. “ recheck your math, try to simplify it. take a look at the book if you need to, ” you looked over what you had written, before checking the book, and quickly redoing your answer, mumbling out a happy little “ thanks ” to the robot.
Tumblr media
so uh, reader originally wasnt supposed to be doing math lmao. kinda just happened, but ykw that's okay because i still got everyone to interact.

Pt 4 too, slight tl/run thru … I’ll be honest someone else will do it and better that me😂💦so pls support their instead lmao .. idk what I’m doing either I just … Niigo love!! I rly wanna post about them! Anything I can! 🤣
Mizuki found K’s songs and read the comments; mostly ppl saying “K is amazing!” and “I wonder what kind of person they are”- then they found Ena’s fanart;
Tumblr media
“under the moon, a girl is crying… She probably got lost in the forest. Her face shows she is unsure which way to go…”-
Tumblr media
“Yeah… This illustration really fits the song..!” MIZUKI SMILED 😭😭😭🙏💕💕💕💕
Tumblr media
They then begin thinking how they could make an mv for the song using the art!
Tumblr media
Different effects they could use, adding some animation- before they know it, they start doing it (completely distracted from their previous depression-state) and it becomes morning!
Tumblr media
“Woah…! It turned out pretty well..!? From the start to end, I managed to keep the song and art’s original atmosphere perfectly!”
Tumblr media
Mizuki realises; Who’s the author of this artwork anyway?? I kinda edited it without even checking, let alone their permission- “Enanan-san.. huh? it’s quite a contrast from the artwork. So pretty and bright!”
Tumblr media
Back in the Sekai, where Mizuki was telling the curious Miku and Luka, Ena comes too- cue Mizuki teasing “I’m surprised you’re up so early!”- the reason Ena didn’t sleep so much today was because she wanted to work on her art! She was motivated and rly happy~ Like she was back then when she suddenly got, a very formal, dm from Mizuki (who wanted to upload her artwork in their mv).
“But… I was really happy…~”
Tumblr media
Miku, rly bluntly, asks about how things were back then (as she did with Mizuki) to Ena- who struggles a bit. Both of them had tried to laugh it off as just “a lot happened!” - it was a tough time. Perhaps telling their struggles and achievements from them help…?
“Aa yeah… kinda… Back then, I was pretty mentally unstable and stuff …”
Tumblr media
She was the opposite to Mizuki with time tho. Mizuki had too much, time felt slow and things took forever. Meanwhile, in another place (applying for an art school), Ena struggled with the entrance exam- redoing her work countless times until the instructor suddenly said “5 more minutes”, poor Ena had a panic attack and cried…. She failed the exam. she’s then seen later waking up from a nightmare- it woke her mother too, who came to check on her…
“I gotta draw-!” No matter what, Ena is(?)determined to prove her asshole dad wrong and continue to draw .. bc she likes it!! Bc she wants to be an artist..! Bc she likes when ppl praise her art skill!! She has many reasons and lots of of talent!! 🌟
Btw, Mafuyu and Kanade appeared last night, last seen around 4am (iirc). It was in part 1 😂 I’ll unlock more parts and see how it goes✨

7th June 2023
Dear Fran,
I've completely lost track of our format and when I'm supposed to post. Anyway. I've been in the studio! And tested new things. Still haven't dragged myself to a fabric store but perhaps these experiments will motivate me to finally go. I started today trying to see if I could heat up borosilicate glass shards with the heatgun enough to move it and maybe try and fuse it to ceramics or solder. Definitely not! Neither the soldering rod/iron/wand (??) or the heat gun can get the glass hot enough to move. I was 95% sure it was wishful thinking but had to try regardless. That lead me to playing with solder because that metal melts so quickly once the end of the iron is hot. I got distracted trying to melt enough of it to draw with it and move it about. While it does chew up a lot of soldering material very quickly (and stink up the studio) it is fun to draw! It actually made me think of your favourite, Lindy Lee, and the splashy kind of pieces she makes. But so fun!! Melting shit is always a fun time haha.
I guess by procrastinating the fabric tests (because starting a new body of work is always scary) I was able to experiment and test and play with other things. Things I'd thought about on an off for ages and now finally tried. Of course it wasn't as easy or straightforward as I hoped, but I guess I have to remember that you'll never be as shit at a process as you were the first time you did it. And you learn so much from that first time, regardless of whether it takes 2 minutes or 20. So, spurred on by fun melty drawings and a lunch break, I got out the heat gun and decided to give it a crack with what fabric I had in the studio. Eeeeeeep. All I did was drape some semi synthetic fabric over a couple of rocks and debris I'd collected from Gordon's Bay, and start directing hot air at it via the heat gun! Why did this feel like the scariest thing in the world before I started?? I LOVE melting shit, and watching the fabric crinkle and move and bubble and fold on itself as it melted was sooooooo fun! SO FUN. Also hella stinky but oh well. Anyway it was a fun process, and i documented the various stages. Didn't like it without some sort of structure or object underneath peeking through. Didn't like the fabric much either, in its original state. Wrong textures. So I kept melting it more and more, and then decided to try adding some of the solder into it. Kinda worked but was hard to do without melting holes in the fabric. It got too hot too quick, compared to the metal. But then I folded it in half and fused the edges together so it because this weird lumpy form and then kept melting it until it kind looked like a craggy shelf. So I naturally pinned it to the wall and decided to see if it would support the weight of some of my porcelain pieces. It just did! Long story short, this is my most precarious shelving system to date.
I really like the quote from your previous post by the way. I love Louise Bourgeois already, but I agree that those little snippets really remind me of our original document. I've also been thinking about words and quotes and vocabulary a lot recently. I worry that mine is shrinking and I guess it just means I need to read more, especially poetry. They are the masters of diverse language and concise story telling. Also I love when my friends from overseas message me. The way they use english sometimes is so beautiful and often seems more poetic than regular english dialogue.
Oh dear, this got long again. I shall stop now.
Much love xxxx
Zoe

The "Monthly" update
Doing this cause I got nothing left to do let's go
I'm doing physically well, if you can call "staying on a seat for the entire day well" with just my bines cracking.
The first part of my exams are in a week and I'm pretty sure I'm going to die. Today I just had the motivation to work on subject on 7. Great.
I started and finished Moonknight in 24 hours and I had a blast ! The co-op between Marc and Steven was epic and I had my "what is reality" moment that I had reading the comic. I also restarted Kimetsu No Yaiba because of one youtube video. That's it.
On another note, I realized I didn't touch my tablet since January and ... I feel a bit guilty about it, I don't know if it's my laziness speaking but I want to draw something but I don't know WHAT to draw so I'm kinda stuck ?
I try to take every bit of hapiness in life, but waking up at 10 am is not a way to study, I have to correct this.
Went into the BNHA fandom. I have finished reading everything interesting and looking at my screen thinking : "What now ?"

High School DXD could have been one of the best anime, with a fun storyline and mecanics (angels vs demons but chess) but infortunately they had to rely on fanservice (the bad kind of fanservice because YES there is a good kind) and I hate it for that

So thank to AO3, I am back once again into Persona.
This would be great if I could play them, but like 75% of Persona fans, I don't posses the right console. So I'm stuck between watching let's plays and reading fics (Some of you are into some weird shit and I am not sorry for kinkshaming you). I'm thinking that I really want to write a fic but I know that I don't have the willpower to regularly post (hehe look at Alcandra 2,5 years and still in hiatus). I just hope I will finally be able to write something other than schoolwork because it fucking sucks.

November, December & Half Of January Review
Yup. I do love lying. "I'm gonna try to do this every month". Hah. my *ss.
So, what happened to me during these month ?
For November, nothing. I just thought abiut "how about I make NNN again for the second consecutive year ?" and I finished it. +1 on satisfaction and that led me to my mental state of today. I know that some of my friends from schools are watching my blog (and I see you) and they tried but lost at the 25th. I judge you people. I then proceeded to uninstall reddit from my phone to get that sweet Go. No regrets, this app sucks more online data that youtube. Speaking of this bitch, it is way less entertaining than before. I don't know if it's me or what I'm watching, but I'm starting to get into my *winter mood* (aka I become apathetic toward pretty much everything). It's sucks. I feel like I don't deserve what I have and I hate this. Trying to make less depreciative "jokes" is helping but I just want to let it past me. But I lost myself in time.
December was more eventful. First, my Birthday. For being one year closer to adulthood, I'm scared. Like the world is waiting to devour me whole. But I got Metroid Dread ! Go play this game, I was able to escape the spoilers like Pm:TOK and these hours were 100% worth it. I also got a Gamecube controller and finnaly, I can play with my friend without the joycons. School is ... school is shit. I say it, and I'll say it again and again : school is fucked up. Some classes are just plain boring. Like, why the fuck is philosophical classes mandatory ? WHY ? 5 months, and it will end. I hope. The holydays I got for Christmas and New Year were the hardest. For 3 whole weeks, we didn't have a kitchen. I when you have to feed 7 people, It's Hell. For Christmas, I got myself amiibos.
Please, whoever is listening to us, be the devil or god, make Covid stop. I'm tired, you're tired, and if you're not, then you're dead. I'm happy that my family was not hit by this, but I don't want more suffering.
There things I still have to do. My homework, and study how to drive.
After a quick in and out of the Danganronpa fandom (thanks for the flluff btw) I came back into the Persona fandom (and I never left the Fire Emblem and TLOZ fandoms). I now realize that my entier schedule is based around my time on A03. I have to stop, or lessen my need. Hopefully, i did read what I wanted.
Time to prepare myself, for the future, I guess. Shame. Would have loved to stay a child forever, but sometimes, you have to give up on privileges to gain more.
That should be a wrap of what I wanted to say. I will my another post describing the moveis I saw during this time. ~toodles~

I think I made this blog at the end of 2020 and I started by posting my Tennotober pieces, so my early WF art is lost somewhere in my twitter archive...
Today I feel like reminiscing so I am willing to share my very first drawing of Nef vs one that was done almost exactly two years later.
I learned to draw so I yassified and bimboified him 😬😬😬
But if I'm 100% honest then the Corpus uncles motivated me to actually learn how to draw a man that isn't a cutesy twink. 🙃 My thirst for Ergo and Nef directly resulted in me improving my art. Cringe AND based at the same time?
Tumblr media
My very first Ergo drawings were teeny tiny chibi doodles so they kinda don't count, but this was a more "serious" one. I had this headcanon that he has curly hair with a texture of a sheep's coat (don't ask, idk how to describe it better) but with time it morphed into the mop I draw him with. 🙈🙈🙈 Maybe I will return to this design one day. then again I ended up drawing Nef with short, scruffy hair... idk I guess I am in my "actually, men with short hair are hot too" phase. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Last Week Today! S2024E7
Tumblr media
🤦‍♂️ OK, I skipped out on hella posts for this category. I know, I know… I’ll backfill them later, but I really hadn’t done much of anything noteworthy I guess so there wasn’t the motivation to post one of these… Which is not the point of course, so I’ll just shut up and get on with this installment. Just watch out for the backfills if you’re keeping up with this on the socials or RSS or email or whatever.
🩺 I had my yearly physical exam, and it went well except for the one note under intensive fasting glucose being 101mg/dL which to make a long story short, prompted my doctor to admonish me about getting enough exercise or else worry about diabetes being a thing. Other than that, I’m just as healthy as ever.
Tumblr media
🏋️ It’s no secret that since returning Stateside from Japan, I haven’t really been getting enough exercise, walks, runs, all that jazz and have low-key been stressed and a bit depressed. I have zero motivation to go to a gym; I don’t like doing routines so much to begin with, but I really don’t like being in a room with total strangers trying to figure out how to make my body do stuff to burn fat. It literally makes me even more stressed out than just jogging/riding a bike by myself. SuperWife and I had been going to the gym together at first, but her job changed, and our schedules fell out of alignment for that; I lost my motivation about a year later and here we are. I tried going to the little gym in my area, but my job no longer subsidizes gym membership, and probably more influential, the guy that runs it keeps asking me to join a “boot camp” class. I don’t want to join shit, I don’t want to be around people, leave me the fsck alone, I’m already anxious as hell just being there. So I stopped going.
🚲️ Excuses aside, I’m just gonna go and buy myself a bike and do what I used to do overseas that kept me fit in the first place. I used to cycle all over the place. I can’t walk or take trains like I did there but I’m going to try to at least bike around here and get out more. Did you know I once went almost a whole week without leaving my house a few months ago? (Working from home has its downsides too!) I miss Japan for my social life and urban living more than anything; it kept me on the “life gym” plan where my mind and body constantly got a workout every day without effort. Just living my daily JapanLife kept me fit. Now I actually have to actively work on it. I appreciate any tips on keeping motivated and healthy from y’all out there reading this please.
🚸 Moving on, the kids are doing well. I just realized we’ll have 0 mini-mes that will be in elementary school after this school year. Little Monkey will be a middle schooler. When dafuq did my cute little simian who learned to climb up my back like a ladder and sit on my shoulders get to be on the precipice of teenagedom?
Tumblr media
🚗 At the other end of the scale, The Big One just passed her written Drivers Exam and is now permitted. I really wasn’t ready for this one. It’s not like she’s chomping at the bit to drive (kinda opposite actually – she frequently takes our fledgling bus system around here) but it’s always good to have another driver in the family in case something happens. I wish I had the cheddar to get a hoopty for her and Boy-Type (he’ll be at a permittable age this time next year 😨) to drive… But even if I did, we can’t afford the insurance on a 16 year old right now I’m sure.
Tumblr media
🎨 Speaking of Boy-Type, his drawing skills are getting very good. Fingers crossed for him to be the next Akira Toriyama or Hayao Miyazaki. I’ll settle for him just being that guy that paints to cool murals in trendy shopping plazas and shops like his uncle does back in Tokyo. Getting paid to do what you like to do is the shit. One of the classes at the arts high school he’ll need to pay attention in is Creative Business Management. I hope he soaks it all up when the time comes.
🦸‍♀️ SuperWife is out here doing her thing and will attend a intensive technical training bootcamp style class this summer since she’ll have more time for that while the school district is on summer break. I think she’d make a great tech support technician or level 1 project lead; her time management is better than mine and that’s always been half the job for me. I can’t wait to have crazy “vim vs emacs” type discussions with her. LOL
🏁 Lastly, I’m looking forward to spring, warmer temps, and getting back out in the RV. We’re set to head down to Jacksonville, Florida for a few days during the first week of April and I can’t wait. I love being on the road with the tribe and I feel we’re at our best together out in the world exploring like this. We’ve hit daylight savings already and 25ºC/80ºF was hit for the first time last week too. Just gotta hang on a bit longer to shake these winter doldrums!
