Meditation 003- partswork
Tumblr media
This morning I got up, did a little yoga and decided to do a little 10 min. guided mediation that popped up after the yoga on youtube.
The meditation was centered around letting go and the narrator took you on a journey of discovering the next version of you that was prepared to let go of you current attachments, hang ups, obstacles, patterns, etc. and step into this embodied version of yourself that was "next level".
My next level being was a giant woman, made of light, who had to turn herself blue so that I could look at her. She was super human, more like an avatar being, radiant, larger than life, alien, and too much for me to comprehend. I finished the meditation confused. The rest of the morning irked me. I felt uneasy and awkward in everything I did.
I decided to sit with my parts
( from IFS and parts work I've established) and ask them how they felt about this experience?
My inner child was terrified of letting go of anything, even though she eventually did. She was entirely confused about what happened. I think she felt rejected and "not good enough".
I talked with her about other parts of the journey that were fun and how the blue woman was smiling and kind in the meditation.
My inner teen scoffed at the otherworldly embodiment avatar at first, and how completely different the embodied self was from my current self. She felt like it was too big of a difference from who/ what I currently am. " That person can't even exist in this world".
I sat and talked with her about expansion, and not looking like that here. Not looking like that, but harnessing something completely new and different in energy. She eventually said" I think it's cool and I'll try it, but I need to process more".
My inner young adult, agreed with inner teen, but she said she understood why it was so different... because it's something entirely new I haven't experienced before. And she gets why its lofty and that the need to process is important.
My inner divine feminine loved the idea of expanding our capacity, ushering in alien/ avatar energy. She said she felt safer and more expansive in this energy for her to express. She expressed confidence and inner support for all the other parts w/ this newfound energetic.
My inner masculine said he was frustrated and agreed with inner teen most at first. " It's an extremely abstract concept", he said it is difficult to be there more and more especially when " we are still in the same body, life, and time space...he understands it's going to be hard to to grasp. "It's becoming so normal for things to not make sense. As long as we are happy and healthy". He is only focused on moving in the direction of wholeness because "that has been what has been the most satisfying in our life so far". He understands we have to usher in " larger than life, alien concepts" to "usher in new faculties, new neural pathways, in order to evolve.... Evolution IS new neural pathways... It's very unsettling, the unknown can be scary".
Suffice it to say, after that I felt a lot better and all of my parts were grateful for the awareness I've developed to untangle my inner dialogues. I can actually feel all of myself get on the same page and my energy coming into alignment. I move, think, breathe and act as one instead of the unconscious aspects of myself doing, thinking and acting in counterproductive, or conflicting ways.
When I got to work I realized I unconsciously wore a dress that was the shade of blue as my blue woman. 🥹💙

LSM is a greedy old man, shady with his business and his side company (Like Planning) - trying to take 1/3 of SM's overall income until 2092. But he has the vision, the will to conduct his plans. The shareholders and CEOs were on board of removing him as the income being stolen is too big, for this I'm with them. They were not right neither for not telling that old man about him being kicked-out of his producer seat. It is said that on March 26th both current CEOs will end their CEO terms +
+ hence they (LSS + TYJ) proceed with the plan they had talked with other shareholders. The plan has been ongoing since 2019, with final decision being made on Oct 2022, hence the news of SM no longer work with LP (LSM's side company) starting from Dec 31st of 2022. The shareholders have been fed up with LSM's shady stealing for awhile, hence they feel the need to end things with him. After ending things with LSM and his own company, the CEOs and employees might have had a talk abt the future +
of the company as well, hence the announcement of SM 3.0 and Kakao's acquirement of SM's share. But other directors (including Kim Young Min and Yoo Young Jin) told they are not on board (because they might have been a part of LSM's shady business) and will not move forward without LSM. Then LSM proceed to sell a huge amount of his shares to H*** (which is f*cking worse to me) and we now have this mess. It is also said that H*** wants to acquire around 40% of SM's share in order to gain +
the power to appoint new CEOs in the shareholders meeting which will be held this March. It is also said that Kakao just recently received funding from Arab (which is around 1,200 billion won), and for God knows what that amount of money will be spent on. All source isplus (/article/view/isp202302070037) etoday (news/view/2220860) joongang (/article/25139610) (don't know why the links can't be posted - so sorry!)
+ Here's my take on the situation: LSM is way too greedy (well notorious for this since JYJ's lawsuit). Even other SM's artists, I think it was Kangta who once said that he doesn't receive that much money from copyrights (he wrote Hope and that song is like just the anthem of SM), but that he's satisfied because he still has other incomes. There was also a post/picture circulating on twitter and said that for activities in Korea the artists only receive 10 out of 100, and we alr know that +
+ we already know that it takes years for SM's artists to buy their own houses... I mean if LSS and TYJ could proceed well with SM 3.0 it would mean more freedom for artists, but like they announced it without telling LSM and now we got this freaking mess 💀 The coming days will be stormy, I just hope everything is all and well for artists we love/like. I still can't get over the news of H*** acquiring SM's stock 😩
----------------------------
I think, Korean business is just a super shady place in general. Sincere and law-abiding people don't survive among sharks. We can start from Samsung owning 1/3 of the country... the rules are different there.
LSM might love his money, but he also loves his artists. He produced albums that didn't bring money and supported artists who left the company. LSM is not white and not black, he is just a person with shades of grey. 6% royalties is a normal thing. Where did you get 1/3 of income? He probably took too long to decide to whom to sell his shares, so the minor shareholders became nervous and easily swayed.
I don't possess enough information and knowledge to have an educated opinion on the matter, to judge whether Kakao or Hybe is worse, who is the real problem - LSM, co-CEOs or Align. It is evident, however, that SM needs restucturing and fresh blood (from stylists to album designers and A&R people). It is also evident that music and production wise the company makes the right things. GOT, aespa's quick success with hit songs taking gp by storm, solo artists getting more freedom and experimenting with artistic expression, etc. So someone in the company is capable. The house is on fire but 127's comeback continues to run smoothly for now. There should be some margin of safety.
I was really surprised about Hybe, but I guess no other company free of Kakao or Samsung has the money. A lot of the time entertainment companies are sold to foreign investors (like Chinese companies), and it's worse than domestic ones.
Yes, Army will have a field day and try to live the life of rich enterpreneurs taking the laurels they didn't earn, but ignore them. Dem Jointz and other producers write for both companies, same with MV makers, and some idols from two labels are friends.
Lol, if NCT comebacks to Vlive I will even rejoice over this new development.

I know I'm being a bit extra annoying today (it's the heat I swear it's killing me and I'm super dysregulated on every level today) speaking of knowing one's limits, yesterday I had to walk home from work 45 minutes in the blazing hot sun with no shade. (i also walked to work) The heat/sun was so oppressive and inescapable that the headache that had started brewing 10 min before I got released from work was just on the brink of getting to the severe throbbing 11/10 pain "need to be rushed to ED again" level we saw back in about November and it was worrying because that was some intense pain like up there with severe toothaches.
Just cos i didn't have my regular ride home and couldn't manage to find one by the end of the day and couldn't afford a simple $12 Uber home. And it turns out I got pretty decently sunburnt despite wearing sunblock. So maybe sunstroke idk.
So shout out to all those who know their limits but aren't in the position to protect themselves from going past those limits. People who have to work fulltime with these illnesses. The only way I'm gonna make money at this rate is starting up a "I'm only sleeping" stream on Twitch cos I am comatose around 12pm-2pm onwards each day. If stigma and discrimination wasn't so bad I could have disclosed to employers by now and gotten accomodations, so I could hodl down a job, but as it is I'm too scared/unsafe to disclose - another reason to end stigma.
So maybe I'll start trying to sell my artwork or something if I can figure out how (also can only ship within NZ cos holy heck is shipping anything in or out of this country disgustingly expensive, hence why my Etsy attempt flopped - had to cancel the first sale from Germany because the shipping cost more than the sale 😭)
I reeeally dont get want have to go back to ED it's so uncomfortable and mum complained the whole time about how horrible it was, making me feel bad

Intersections (6/10)
After making a decision on my format, I moved forward with planning my illustrations. To do this, I picked out the artists that stuck out most to me and my idea of nostalgia.
FLAVOURS OF YOUTH + GEMINI H
Tumblr media
In this trial, I tried to recreate my previous coloured pencil drawing while trying to incorporate the style of the artist Gemini H and the film Flavours of Youth.
Here, I focused on Gemini H's shading style and use of colours. What I noticed in her work was her clean hatching style that seamlessly incorporates various hues. While doing this myself, I noticed my drawing seemed to 'pop'. Following her style gave my drawing a soft and lively finish.
For the Flavours of Youth inspiration, I tried to capture the warm, lighthearted feel mainly through the colours and highlights. The biggest contributor for this was my use of a warm yellow overlay layer.
Notes on this style: I really like how it turned out, but it's super time consuming.
JOEY HAN
Tumblr media
The next artist style I studied was Joey Han's. Compared to the previous study, Han's style was simpler. Minimal hatching was done, and colours were limited. I may have added more detail than what was needed, but I liked the final outcome.
This style was nice, clean, and took much less time than the previous study. I'm leaning towards this the most, but I'll try incorporating a bit more colour like from the last study.
MIN HEO
Tumblr media
My last study, Min Heo. Her work can be described as bright and bold, sporting only solid colours enclosed by linework. Out of the three studies I did, this took the least amount of time. It's quite a playful style, but I don't think it evokes the nostalgic feeling that I'm going for.

Hey beautiful, I hope the rest of your night has been good. Don’t worry, I was super calm driving home haha, you know I wish I coulda had more time with you. But yeah I reckon we will save shrooms for after I finish tattooing and also when we don’t have to socialise with anyone else but us. It really did make me feel the energies of other people more, much more aware. And I felt more in tune with what energy I want in my life/ surrounding me..
The traffic was bad but I enjoyed the drive home under the lavender sky listening to r&b. I was replaying moments from today which made me so happy. 
I had such a nice day with you, we really used our will and made it special 🤍🤍
Hey, I know it’s still far from the unhindered reality that we both really desire, but I’ve accepted it’s part of journey and I’m really trying to relish in it all. The sweetness almost seems amplified by the restriction. And Im fully aware that this stage in our life is only momentary which we will never get to experience again.
This morning getting to hold and be close to you. Hold your face in my hands and really really see you. Smell you. Be caressed and skin touched by you. You analysing my facial structure haha. Then in the kitchen, you making me take my top off. Me pushing you against the wall and squeezing you. You noticeably look and feel thicker already which makes me so happy. Being able to stand and hold you from behind while making oats. Like a glimpse into the feeling of future.. listening to your playlist. Looking up and smiling at each other at certain songs. Being bored and microdosing for no reason. Laughing at the stupidest crudest shit. Creamy mmmmm. Hahaha. Even our short 10 mins after work. This is how we would sleep. Face to face. I appreciate every second, you are the most special to me. 
I’m in the bath right now. With a sleepy bear bath bomb. Drinking my 3rd glass of cab sav. I’ve actually really liked being sober this week. I’m going to continue this next week for sure. It provides clarity and makes me deal with mental dilemmas which are confronting and uncomfortable but necessary. 
What did you have for dinner?
What are you up to?
xx
Ps. Here’s the poem:
Summer time dusk
Golden light, Bare foot
I feel the ground under my feet. Pavement
This is my home 
The air is warm. Makes me feel light
Cooling shade feels nice on my open skin
I hear the ice chattering in my glass
Crisp wine. Perspiration
Voice of Mary I hear
Calming. Soothing. Loving 
I turn around. I see you
I am full 
🌞❤️

Yoongi in Love
Tumblr media
~1429 words~
Yoongi plans a romantic get away 
You and Yoongi had decided to take things slow. Like REALLY slow. As of now, you’d only held hands, shared sweet cuddles on the couch and hugged.
You’d been hurt badly by your ex. Add on Yoongi being super famous and wealthy, and you both had some trust issues with people.
You both were enjoying each other, and talked about moving your relationship to the next level often.
As you were quickly learning, Mr. Reserved Min had a romantic side. Bringing you flowers and saying sweet things all the time.
In fact, Yoongi went as far as planning a 10 day vacation for just the two of you. You were so excited to spend all that time alone with him! And, not to be overly dramatic, but if you didn’t get some kisses soon, you might implode.
Yoongi refused to tell you where you were going on this romantic getaway, so when you got to the airport and boarded the flight to Paris, you were speechless. You spent the long flight sleeping, holding hands and watching movies together.
After taking a much shorter flight to Nice, he STILL wouldn’t give up the details on his plans. He had the sneakiest, self satisfied smile on his face while you begged for more information. You really wanted to kiss that look off his face, but somehow held back.It was late afternoon when you arrived at a beachside house. Standing out front, you were in awe!
His proud smirk reappeared, “Wait until you see the inside.”
Inside was just as beautiful. Huge windows lined the back of the house, with a view of the infinity pool, and the sandy beach of the Côte d’Azur beyond that. The kitchen was pre stocked, but you’d eaten a lot on the trip, so you weren’t hungry yet. You headed down a hallway that was just off of the living room and ran right into the master bedroom. That bed was... for lack of a better word, Epic. Huge and cozy looking, with pillows everywhere, plus the room had a large sliding glass door leading out to a private porch space.
Yoongi moved in behind you, wrapped his free arm around your waist and settled his chin on your shoulder,
“Let’s put our bags away and look around a little more”, he said, gently nudging you into the room. Holy Shit. You were sharing a room and a bed.
You knew that before you got here, but now it was right in front of you. You were nervous and excited as you put your bags away.
Taking your hand, Yoongi pulled you out of the room and led you to a small staircase that was almost hidden across the hall from the bedroom
At the top of the stairs, he reached out for the doorknob, and said,
“This is the reason I chose this house.” He opened the door and pulled you through.
You stopped and your jaw dropped to the ground. This was the most beautiful rooftop space you’d ever seen!
Walls on 3 sides, with a pergola ceiling and white canvas shades hanging from it. The back was completely open with a small, 3 foot tall half wall, giving an unobstructed view of the water. White linens hung to the sides, so you could draw them closed if you wanted more privacy.
There was a small kitchenette area, bluetooth speakers and several comfortable seats around, including what looked like a cross between a bed and a reclining beach chair that was wide enough for 3 normal chairs with one large white mattress on it.
You walked over to the opening and stood in awe of the beauty of the scenery.
“Yoongi...” you all but whispered, “This is... this is... I don’t know what to say! It’s all so beautiful! You planned all of this?”
Yoongi sidled up beside you and smiled his big, gummy smile, “You like it?”
“I love it,” you answered, looking into his eyes. You both turned to look out again. The sun had only just gone down, and the sparse clouds in the sky were various shades of pink and purple over the blue of the sea. You felt Yoongi move closer.
He slid an arm around your waist and pulled you against him. You turned your head and looked into his eyes. With the most gentle, loving look, Yoongi leaned in and touched his lips to yours. Your first kiss. Slow seduction was the only way to describe it.
Your arms wrapped around his neck and your body pressed to his as he deepened the kiss. Tongues gently explored each other as you felt the evening sea breeze around your hot skin.
Yoongi pulled back and took a deep breath to calm himself, leaving you whimpering for more.
With a strained chuckle, he took your hand and led you back to the large lounger.
“Have a seat. I had them stock up here, too. Thought we’d probably spend a lot of our time here.” Smiling, he flicked on a switch that turned on a low impact glow all around the space, then pulled a bottle of wine from the wine chiller next to the mini fridge. After handing you a glass, he reached into the fridge for a pre-made plate of fruits, meats, and cheeses and joined you on the lounger.
He connected his phone to the Bluetooth speakers, and turned on a playlist he’d been working on for weeks as he planned this vacation. Feeding each other little bites between quick kisses, and sweet looks, you got through your snack pretty quickly.
Yoongi set the plate aside and turned back to you, placed his hand on the side of your neck and ran his thumb over your bottom lip. Looking in his eyes, you opened your mouth and sucked his thumb in, running your tongue over it. You’d never seen that fire that suddenly lit in Yoongi’s eyes before.
He pulled his thumb out of your mouth and leaned forward and replaced it with his tongue. Slowly, he pushed you until your back met the mattress. Your hands switched between tangling in his hair and running all over his back as you kissed each other passionately.
As he settled between your thighs, one hand reached back to your knee, pulling your leg up to open the cradle between your thighs for him. His hand wasted no time running up your leg and under the hem of your sundress, coming to rest on the bare globe of your ass, where he squeezed and pulled you against his hard cock. Your moan had him pulling back, breathing like he just finished dance practice. He sat up on his knees and pulled his FG t-shirt over his head, looking down on you like you were a feast.
You ran your fingers gently over the swell of your breast, just visible over the material of your dress, with your eyes locked on his. Lost in the feelings that were overwhelming you. Yes, you were absolutely in lust with this man, but you were head over heels in love with him as well.
“I Love You, Yoongi,” your breath hitched a little. “Before we go any further, I want you to know that.”
He smiled his big gummy smile. “That’s why we are here. I wanted to shower you with romance, bring you to a beautiful place, and tell you how much I Love You. This isn’t just about our first kiss, or making love for the first time. This is to tell you what you mean to me. I want to keep you forever. I want to be there for you forever.”
He leaned down and kissed away the tears that escaped at his admission, and then placed a kiss on your lips that you would remember for the rest of your life.
The Love.
The Passion.
The Feeling.
It was the kind of kiss stories had been told about since the beginning of time.
Once your clothes had been peeled away, and your skin slid together, you and Yoongi made love for the first time, with the sea breeze running lightly over your sweaty skin and the stars shining bright above. Confessing your love for each other over and over as the night wore on.
Finally, exhausted and spent as the sky started to get light, you and Yoongi made your way down to the huge, epic bed. Unable to keep your hands off each other, you made love one more time before finally falling asleep in each other’s arms.

Jimins best hair colours? Not to be controversial but I think orangemin is over hyped when silver, pink, dark blue, blonde is right there….
This is the only controversy I would like for you all to bring to my blog from now on please and thank you. Lol I will not tolerate any orange min slander here! He looked glorious!! But I agree, orange doesn't even make my top 5 of hair colors for him even though I swoon at all his orange hair gifs/pics too. Lol
My personal top 5 favorites, yes in order:
1. I feel like everyone should be well aware that I am a giant fan of black hair on the tannies, but especially on Jimin. Okay. It just hits different. He looks SO GOOD. Especially whatever he has got going on right now with this longer black hair. I want to DIE everytime I see it. Perfection. Black hair is my number 1 favorite. Sorry, not sorry yall
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Silver hair. Goodness he pulls this one off like nothing else. Let me swoon in peace okay?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Pink Hair. This is... perfection. In every sense of the word. If pink min ever makes a comeback again, ESPECIALLY with the longer hair? I might cry. It was so pretty
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Blonde. Everyone's favorite I know, but it comes in at number 4 for me. But good lord does he make blonde look good. Seriously he can pull off everything!! My personal favorite blonde look for Jimin is the almost white blonde but not quite and then just the super soft blonde. You could do a whole post over blonde honestly there is so many shades. Lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. Dark Blue 🥰 Black Swan Jimin era Jimin, perfection. Amazing. Beautiful. Seriously, how does he pull off every color making it look so good??? This should be illegal and impossible, yet here we are!
Tumblr media
After this my favorites would probably go:
6. Violet/purple
7. Butter era Red
8. Butter era Rainbow/purple highlights
9. Bright Blue
10. Orange
And yet, he has yet to do a color that didn't look fabulous and like it was made for him. Really, it not fair!!
Thanks for the ask 💜

I saw your prompt thing and could you do a short fic for number 74 with denki?
anything for uuuu
also, I wrote this with a reader who isn’t really shy about physical contact with Denki so I hope that’s okay!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
can I touch your boobs?
‣ pairing : kaminari x reader.
‣ drabble.
‣ synopsis : denki just really wants to touch his girlfriends boobs.
‣ wordcount : 781
‣ warnings : denki being a little perv, swearing.
Tumblr media
Y/n and her boyfriend were currently sat at opposite sides of the bed in Denki’s dorm room. Y/n up by the headboard, horizontally laying with her top half hanging off the side of the bed, and Denki down at the foot of it comfortably sat crisscross while he watched her scroll through her phone.
The two hadn’t been together for long, only a mere few weeks. While they were well past the super shy stage of their relationship, things were still progressing slowly. 
But while Denki watched his girlfriend in that particular position, there was simply one thing his eyes could really focus on.
And that was, of course, her boobs.
His eyes had been fixated on them for at least ten minutes now, he swears he felt himself start drooling at one point, damn pervert.
It was like two perfectly sized pillows sat on top of your chest right now, calling for his name. It’s like they were literally made to be squished and held in his palms right now, so much so that without even thinking he suddenly blurted out-
“Can I touch your boobs?”
She turned her eyes away from her phone, switching her attention to the ceiling. Y/n opened her mouth to say something, staying quiet for a minute or so before finally responding.
“The least you could do is say please.” Y/n said, an unbothered expression on her features as she chuckled softly. It seems that after that response, Kaminari finally realized what he said. 
His entire face suddenly went beet red. 
“w-wait you really mean I can touch them?? honestly I didn’t even mean to say that it just kinda came out but hey if ur alright with it then-!”
Y/n slapped her hand over her boyfriend’s mouth to shut up his ramble before it could really begin. “It’s just my boobs you, don’t have to make a big deal out of it y’know.” 
She resumed her position on her phone, going back to hang off the edge of the bed.
Kaminari basically had her blessing now so obviously, his hands went straight for his girlfriend’s chest, placing one hand on each of her boobs, His face still the brightest shade of red y/n thinks she had ever seen it.
y/n had a slight blush on her face as well, but she wasn’t all that bothered by it really. She wasn’t super shy or anything when it came to physical contact so this wasn’t really that big a deal to her. 
But Denki? Mf was on cloud nine right now.
He was making the same stupid face he does right after he uses his quirk. He was really squishing each of the “perfect pillows” as he worded it on your chest?? He wishes he could show this scene to himself a month ago when he had begun crushing on you so he could give himself a high-five and say “hell yeah Denki you fuckin did it!!” 
Y/n doesn’t think he realized how much time had gone by, because suddenly, she was snapping her fingers in front of the boys face, struggling to get his attention so they could go down to the common room for dinner. Normally they would just insist on skipping, but Aizawa had something important to speak to 1-A about, so everyone needed to be present. And they were already nearly 10 minutes late.
“Just like two more min-”
And that! Was when Denki’s dorm room door blew off the hinges with a large explosion, landing on the other side of the room.
“DUNCE FACE WHAT THE FUCK IS TAKING YOU SO LO-”
Y/n and Kaminari both froze, staring at each other with wide eyes.
uh oh 
Bakugo stood in the middle of the room, staring at the sight in front of him.
There was Y/n,
and there was Denki.
with his hands practically glued to her chest.
For once, Bakugo quite literally did not give a shit. All he knew was he was starving and they were the reason he wasn’t eating right now. He had an 8:30 bedtime to catch goddammit.
“YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!! STOP BEING DISGUSTING AND HURRY THE HELL UP IM SICK OF WAITING FOR YOUR SLOW ASSES DOWNSTAIRS!!”
The blonde yelled in his signature Bakugo tone, turning around and storming out the door the same way he had stormed in. The couple scurried to their feet and composed themselves, giving each other the same “we never speak of this” look.
Meanwhile,
All that could be heard from the common room while they made their way down, was Bakugo yelling at Aizawa for “making him go upstairs to get that stupid idiot when it wasn’t even his problem.”

;______; just heard that from September we’re gonna have three students in our cluster who are under 1 year old... (5 in the school total)
aaahhh im exhausted just thinking about it
and whats crazy is in one of the classes with under 1 yos there is a kid who is between 1-2 yo and she cannot walk yet. We have been trying to help her learn and have begun wondering if there is some reason beyond her mother just didn’t really encourage her to walk before. (Like maybe she needs leg braces etc.) So far no news on that but this kid only drags her feet around, obviously she needs constant help, and there are 12 other kids in the class, two of whom are under 1 and three teachers, HOW are they supposed to do it???
and the class that will have three under 1s has two first year teachers in it, that makes me so nervous... They’re both awesome coworkers, this is no shade on them, but under 1s can be TOUGH, it’s SO easy for them to get hurt. idk it feels like an accident waiting to happen.
i’ve been at schools where 5 students was an entire class, if we’re gonna have this many under 1s we should just have a class for them, come on! I love them but they are twice the work of kids on year older than them.
Also the recommended teacher-student ration for 1-3 yos is 1:6, which we abide by, but I believe it’s actually 1:3 or 1:4 when the kids are belong 18/12 mos. Apparently the head office does not care.
These kids are not in my class, I currently teach 2-3s, however I am a long care teacher and I look after them during morning and after care. I do their nap and their snack and play time supervision etc. From 10-2 they’re part of their class, but the rest of the day they belong to all of us.
More work ranting under the cut because I guess I just need to vent to the air.
And we have a LOT of students now - two clusters of going on 30 in each, in very small classrooms where the teachers are expected to watch them like a hawk AND keep constantly busy with numerous tasks at the same time.
Plus our prep time has been cut down this year despite additional work getting put on us, and we have no extra help.
If one teacher is out sick, no one gets prep time.
Don’t remember if I whined about this before, but a month or so ago we had a meeting in which the leader said “If you find you don’t have enough prep time, that’s on you to manage your time better.” It was super condescending and annoying. I’m like, dude, my contract says I get 1 hour prep and 1 hour break. We never ever EVER get the full two hours (and I should mention this is never consecutive, it’s 15 min here, 30 min there, 1 full hour if you’re really lucky). It’s usually at most 1 hr 45. But a 30 min break is fine! I’d love to take a 30 min break. Almost never do. Way too busy.
Like, I won’t get into it, but the laundry list of Stuff To Do recently has been ENORMOUS. In my class, I have 19 students. One of my co-teachers is part time, meaning she’s not around to help during much of prep time, and the other is a leader meaning she’s constantly in meetings or doing leader assignments. They are both fantastic co-workers, but yeah, this means I do ALL the class stuff. I prepare all the crafts, I do a ton of the organizing, and I’m often the only teacher from my class available in the afternoons because part-time teacher went home and leader teacher is in a meeting. So I end up with a lot of the after care stuff.
We have to hand out these big projects that teachers are responsible for preparing for each student on 8/16. We know these are coming and prep for them as soon as possible, but like, I won’t get into this either lol, but it’s so hard. It’s time-consuming by itself, and made worse because all the school computers are crap (like takes-15-min-to-start, another 10 to open the browser, 5 to go to the website, then it freezes, then 5 more, another freeze, etc) and like you have 15 min break time hahahahaha.
I wanted to get such a head start that I just started doing what I could back in the beginning of the year but we lit can’t do the bulk of the work until a certain kind of envelope is delivered and that doesn’t come till summer for some stupid reason. Soooo our long prep days in April when there are no kids around... can we use those to prep for this project? Heck no!
Anyway. This year’s is due on 8/16. This coming week we are off for obon break. This year also, the company is doing the project slightly differently. Instead of staggering what class gives out their projects to their students when, we all have to do it at once. We are our company’s biggest school, sooo my honest thought is no one at the head office thought about us when they made this change. The other schools don’t have to stagger anyway, they have at most two classes. We have four.
So this means everyone is printing their projects at the same time. For one student, you need 10 sheets on A3 paper. For my class of 19, that is 190 sheets of paper. For four classes, we’re over 700 sheets total. THAT IS A LOT OF PAPER.
So I get to work this morning and boss says “Yeah so we’re out of A3 paper.”
!!!
IT’S DUE MONDAY.
There was a little bit left so I just charged and printed as much of my stuff as I could in the morning before anyone else could. Then, miraculously, another packet of A3 paper appeared out of nowhere, and we were able to print most of the rest of our students’ projects. (My coworker who is a leader has not printed hers yet because she is super busy and isn’t finished. Again, she’s an awesome coworker, I wish I could have helped her more, but uh, I’m also swamped and not taking breaks, so. Hopefully she can do it before we really do run out of A3 paper.)
Getting more paper is no big deal, it’s just that no one has the time, and this is due Monday.
So I was super stressed. Sooooo super stressed for such a dumbbbb reason. And I don’t understand why these projects have to go out on Monday anyway. Some kids don’t even come to school on Mondays. Like. Just make sure they get them next week, isn’t that good enough?? Why make us stress and panic.
Everyone else seemed fine though, I was the only one tearing my hair out because I’m the type who finishes everything a day early so I have a day to check it over... I am not spontaneous and I hate to rush...
I lit told my coworkers, because regardless of the paper situation we are still behind because we have not had any time to organize the projects, that I will just stay late tomorrow to do it. It’s the Friday before a break so I don’t mind too much. I am really tired tho and would of course rather just go home and sleep but. I’ve done this before. Finishing up this project will take 1.5 hours - 2 hours at the current state it’s in, IF I can just sit down and do it uninterrupted. (Have I mentioned these projects are HEAVY?? And there’s 19 of them?? It’s a big job just to take them out and start putting them together >.<)
So tomorrow evening that is what I will likely be doing -.-;
There are INNUMERABLE other STUPID parts of this project - the idea behind it is great, but the way we are required to make it is absolutely bonkers and desperately needs a revamp but does anyone listen to a preschool teacher? heck no lol
uggh.
I feel better after venting tho.
I like my job, I just wish humans in general gave a shit, not even about quality of life (since obvs that’s expecting too much lol, also as a person with privilege I’m aware I’ve already got it pretty darn good), but just about not making jobs that are ridiculous. Just plan them out better, sheesh. There’s no reason for all this running around. The projects don’t need to be printed. Or they don’t need to be so huge. They don’t need all this fuss and nonsense. They are a good idea, but we could do them in a way that would be sooo much less stressful.
(The funniest part of all being, it’s a project for the parents mainly, and the parents... don’t like it x’D No they really don’t. They are happy to have the project, but first they’ve got to get it home, and it is HUGE and HEAVY and UNWIELDY lmao. And some of them are carrying twin 2 year olds and both of their futons home as well, and we’re like “here you go, two giant projects for you to take home!” And the parents are like “thanks????”)

Alright um wow! i actually kept up with this! if you don’t know i started drawing as a new years resolution lol and um wow! here i am doing a year end review! also like?? the fact i started out with a few random colored pencils i found in my basement, a single pencil, and a single sheet of paper?? and that’s all i used for 2 and a half months??? aND now im using a whole ass drawing tablet??? it’s kinda wild lol Also from this point forwards i post higher quality versions of the art & go into details about the art so um yeah, it’s a *very* long post to end the year on
Tumblr media
January 2020 um yeah i had only started drawing like 4 days before this and wow it fucking shows lmao (also all of my first drawings are just straight up scenes from Ghost & Pals PVs because wow froggy your so creative only drawing the things you watch on youtube lmfao)
Tumblr media
February 2020 Okay but like,, yeah yeah i get i only had a month of experience and all of my experience happened on a single piece of paper but like?? why is this one so fucking bad?? lmao like i remember even at the time of making it i hated it lmao. Also super cool note this was my first drawing i did in full color! i later decided that it looked weird having only a bit of the paper colored so i went back and colored the whole thing because dumbass froggy is a dumbass
Tumblr media
March 2020 omg woah is that more drawings of ghost & pals oc’s in the exact same pose as in the PV?? that’s like, so creative bro Also the fact that i very clearly remember thinking that his head was *way* too small to be realistic but i felt like the older art where there heads are literally wider then there whole ass body was fine??? hewwo??? froggy?? you good? like i know your kinda stupid but heWWO???
Tumblr media
April 2020 Okay okay okay heres where things start to get interesting 1. I found a sketchbook and was no longer limited to that single piece of paper 2. I started editing my photos so i could actually get the colors i wanted 3. I started my tumblr uwu! 4. and i actually?? don’t hate this?? like yeah it’s still not creative in the slightest but it’s not *bad* and i kinda like that shade of red :flushed: May 2020 yeah no your not getting a high quality version of this So basically this was the month when i started moving over to digital art using my phone and wow was that rough getting used to (but also it was so much easier for me to do with my set up lmao) June 2020 Yeah i like to pretend this one doesn’t exist lmfao This was the month where i first started taking like?? proper reference photos for my art and i was actually starting to be creative with it and come up with my own ideas,, just,, all of my art from this month looks *exactly* like the reference photos except worse to the point where im not sure if i can even call it art lmfao
Tumblr media
July 2020 To say this month of my life was a shitshow wouldn’t even begin to cover it lmao so um yeah, i drew that! also?? if i remember correct my mother stole the little art supplies i had just cause and that’s why this one isn’t in color or anything lmao
Tumblr media
August 2020 I feel like it was around this point that my digital art actually started being *somewhat* good but i still wasn’t *super* happy with it 
Tumblr media
September 2020 This is literally the only thing i drew in september and it took all of like 10 mins lmao,  I remember feeling just kinda burnt out and like i had no ideas by this point cause as we have figured out im *very* well known for being creative
Tumblr media
October 2020 By this point it had been 3 months since i had done a full traditional drawing so i remember being like ummm i really should do *something* but not really actually liking this art lmao
Tumblr media
November 2020 Feeling like i had wasted like the whole year drawing wise and feeling like i was capable of doing so much more i decided to try and do a full drawing everyday for this whole month and yeah! i fucking did that lmao, i feel like this was this month was the first time i ever really like, *understood* shading and how to use color ig? i also feel like i really kinda found out what i *actually* wanted to make this month so that’s very cool December 2020 You guys are gonna have to wait until these posts go up in january to see this art in high quality sorry not sorry Can i just?? can i just say how fucking good it felt to be able to make whatever i wanted without having to rush to finish it before midnight every day? and i really did just make what i wanted to meaning that this month i made more edgy shit then normal and just aghhh feels good man aLSO ALSO i got a drawing tablet mid way through this month so um yeah, still getting used to that lol overall im like, really actually kinda proud of how far my art has come within a year and i really don’t have any plans to stop soon! and lastly thank you to everyone who has followed me!

summary: (too long)
in your eyes (it's where i wanna be) : yoonmin, tooth rotting fluff, rated T, 5k words, college au.
summary: Jimin pauses with his marker inches away from the cup, because — is he really going to do this? Isn’t it a bit old-fashioned to write something flirty on a coffee cup? But no matter what his churning gut says about danger and what the hell are you doing do you want to die, this guy is — with no better way to put it — totally Jimin’s Type with a capital T.

you're only brave in the moonlight : smuutt, bff au, vmin, college au, rated E, 14k words.
summary: There are reasons, very specific reasons that justify why—in three years of being hopelessly pathetically in love with his best friend—Jimin has not said a single word.

(it's a paradise) it's a war zone : jikook, vacation au, really cute, enemies to lovers, rated T, 7k words.

once upon a timeshare : jikook, ex fic, rom com style, cute AF, 32k words, rated E.

Tie Me Down : taegi, lovvveee this fic, really fun, has drama elements to it, rated M, college au, 24k words.
summary: “I’ve just woken up with a fucking splitting headache, to find myself fucking taped to an office chair in a fucking living room that smells like unwashed socks and takeaway food. How am I? How do you think I fucking am?” “Wow. That’s a lot of f-bombs you’re dropping. Did anyone tell you that you need a healthy dose of positivity?” 
In which Yoongi’s life is a parody of Taken and Taehyung is just trying his goddamn hardest not to get arrested.

shōnen-ai love you : one of the most fun and cute (read: fluff) fics, vmin, rated T, manga fic, high school fic, 4k words.
summary: "What if I woo him with what he likes?" Jungkook frowns. "Knowing you, it's going to be a disaster." "I'm in pursuit of Park Jimin," Taehyung tells them dramatically, just as the bell rings and the teacher starts writing the first question on the board. "I'll do anything."
Doing anything means, apparently, studying BL manga.
My Cup of Tea : cute and short, minjoon, 6k words, high school fic, milk tea (lol) fic.
summary: One of Taehyung's many admirers tries to woo him by bringing him milk tea every day but Taehyung is lactose intolerant so it's always Jimin who drinks it.
From a distance away, the admirer watches.
Pastel : POLLYY, not really my cup of tea but i wanted to explore you know, jungkook/everyone, i liked it kinda, bdsm, baby kook, daddy kink, rated E, 188k words, bottom jk.
summary: Jeongguk learns the age-old lesson that you can't run from who you are, or who you like, for that matter.
There are a LOT of fics left, I’ll slow update.

Hello Good evening to all here’s another blog but this time it’s part of my school requirements for the subject “Understanding the Self”. This new post of mine will tackle all about on how to cope with stress, anxiety and depression and what are the causes that will lead to it. 
Disclaimer: All the GIFs and photos will be credited to the respective owners in the last part of the blog and all the GIFs are examples in application of what happened in reality -no pun and shade included- 
As we all know, ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) is already extended until May 15,2020 in selected places such as the whole city of Bulacan, NCR and CALABARZON region. As advice to us by the President we should remain to stay home for us the COVID will not spread that quickly. Staying at home for a long time has a big impact for all of us Filipinos. Sometimes, we feel isolated, stress and encountering anxiety because of the online activities that they give to us and sometimes having problems with the family. This is one
Let’s go to the Main topic. 
Stress, Anxiety, Depression these three usually happens to us humans for the past couple of years already in our generation many people died because of this mental disease. What is stress, anxiety and depression?
Stress is the starting stage when there is something that will pressure us. For example, people usually starts having stress with a lot of school requirements to do in order to pass it early. When everyday if we always got stress with the requirements that’s were anxiety comes because people may worry that cannot pass it on time or they will not execute it very well.
Anxiety is the next stage were people started to think negative to ourselves. We usually think of negativity that comes to our mind. 
Tumblr media
Depression is the critical stage were both anxiety and stress combine into one. Depression mostly happens if there’s a big problem on body of a human physically, psychologically, and mentally. Which it needs a lot of medication in order for a person to have a stable mental health but it may depend on the situation of the person. In this GIF from priceofwarmclothes, actually this is from the series called “until we meet again” which you can watch it from Studio Wabi Sabi channel. This GIF is an example if a person suddenly started to cry if something usually triggers him on his mind. 
Tumblr media
What are the medications for stress, anxiety and depression? For me it really depends on the situation of the person. Because not all these mental disorders will be need of medicine. Medicine is only needed when it becomes crucial and worst. Simply, you will just need a medical check-up from the psychologist, psychiatrist or even a guidance councilor before taking medicine that is prescribed from professionals. Sometimes, the medication of these three is love, care and support from family, friends, relatives and professionals because it talks about the behavior of a person and not all of these disorder will be needing medicines for them to be better. Here is another example of medicine that will help someone physically and mentally:
First GIF below This is the Tay Tawan on the left side and New Thitipoom on the right. 
For me, this shows on how clingy new is, because he wants to protect his best friend and he wants to make sure that everything will be ok for him. 
Tumblr media
Second GIF below:
This 2 young actors Bright Vachirawit(Sarawat) the guy who hears white shirt and Win Metawin(Tine) wears the black shirt from 2Gether the series is another best example for me. Hugging can be a huge impact to someone. Hugging is something we usually feel in real life in order to feel that we show our presence and love from our family and friends. Comfort someone with stress, anxiety and depression can be considered as a medicine.
Tumblr media
My Opinion and experience:
Tumblr media
In my experience way back senior high school, i’ve been struggling for my 2 years due to the toxic environment that i went through. Second, ever since i already have an issue with the family, i know that there is no such thing as a perfect or better family but there is such thing as a toxic family. My family is being toxic for almost 4 or 5 years and yet i choose to be strong in life because i know to myself that i still have hopes and dreams that i need to achieve in order to be success in life. I have no plans yet for the next chapter of my life after college i want to have a simple life just living alone, i don’t want to get involved with my family because i don’t deserve this kind of family and i will work hard and be more independent in life. My simple medication is just i always believe that my friends and my super friend God is always there for me. This experience reminds me of a song called Speechless by Naomi Scott, the lyrics said “All I know is I won't go speechless 'Cause I'll breathe When they try to suffocate me Don't you underestimate me 'Cause I know that I won't go speechless”. This really hits me hard and i always tell me to myself no to give up until i reach my goals in life.
Tumblr media
This is the last part of my blog for now! I would like to thank my Professor for giving a consideration to do a blog instead of vlog. First and foremost, my internet connection couldn’t handle uploading a 10 min vlog of mine which it consist of 4.5GB due to the quality of the camera i use and the editing it was too much and i took 5-7 hours to upload it. On behalf on the other students of 1E3, We really miss you so much Ma’am Claudia Mendoza for the short term memories when it comes to face to face classes and i didn’t expect that i will learn a lot through my experiences and opinion and of course coming to my professor. I really wish this pandemic will end as early as possible so we can continue with the discussions face to face and make this semester memorable! Giving also a credits to the respective owners of the GIF they make especially @/Inkorns for the GIF for the intro since it was not included below.

Cold Canyon- Saison
This is the fourth batch I’ve brewed of this recipe as I try to hone in on my ideal saison. The most recent change I’ve made, which is a big one, is to switch the yeast strain from Wyeast’s French Saison 3711 to their Belgian Saison 3724. I’ve brewed a couple batches with 3724 and although I’m still getting a handle on this yeast I am really happy with it so far. 
I fell in love with 3711 at the first brewery I worked at, it was our go-to for saison and we even brewed our witbier with it. Back then I found 3711 to give a super clean profile with a great balance of punchy fruitiness and spice without being too “hot” with alcohol or muddled like a lot of other saison yeasts. When fermented on the cooler end we found at the brewery that 3711 created a unique orangey spice. People swore that we put orange zest and coriander into our witbier when in fact it was all yeast character they were tasting. When I started doing trials of this saison recipe I started with 3711 but after a few batches was getting a completely different character out of it. Each batch had this astringent bitterness to it that was like a combination of rust and soil. I wasn’t sure at first if what I was tasting was hop-related or perhaps an unhealthy yeast pitch, but after a few batches and some research I decided what I was tasting was the “phenolic bite” that is said to come from certain saison yeast strains. Still haven’t figured out why the character I got from 3711 is so different than how I remember it from a few years ago at the brewery, but at any rate I decided to move on from it.
I had started looking into a new yeast to try when I was out at one of my favorite bars in LA, The Hermosillo. The Hermosillo is the original home to Highland Park Brewery, probably the best brewery in LA, and in addition to HPB beers always has an awesome selection of guest beers which often includes a saison or mixed culture beer from Perennial Artisan Ales from St. Louis. I had a glass of Perennial’s Prism, a dry-hopped saison, and immediately knew that whatever yeast they used in it was exactly what I was looking for. Prism had a great balance of yeast fruitiness and spice that worked well with the heavy hopping and a unique mouthfeel that softer that most saison. From Perennial’s website (http://www.perennialbeer.com/beer-lister/) I found that they use a Belgian saison strain so I took a chance with Wyeast’s option (https://wyeastlab.com/yeast-strain/belgian-saison).
After a few brews with 3724 I am fairly confident that it is indeed the yeast that Perennial uses in Prism. I’m pretty happy with the results so far. I might not be completely sold as it is a bit finicky. The yeast tends to stall out in the 1.020-1.030s halfway through fermentation. It will eventually finish out but it takes some time and/or warming the beer into the 90s Fahrenheit. 3724 also seems to land at a higher FG than other saison yeasts I’ve brewed with. I’ve read it does get down close to 1.000 but I haven’t seen it get that far. (Rather I haven’t been patient enough to see it get that far). But maybe the attenuation will improve as I harvest and re-pitch it a few times. 
Brewed 3/18/2020
Water Profile:
.5 tsp Calcium Sulphate and 1.5 tsp Calcium Chloride into 6 gallons strike water
Yeast:
Wyeast 3724 (2nd Gen)
2 Liter starter. Stirred 48 hours. Refrigerated overnight and decanted. Yeast “bloomed” on brew day with first runnings.
Grist:
Weyermann Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner Malt- 6 lbs (55%)
Weyermann Pale Wheat Malt- 3 lbs (27%)
Flaked Oats- 2 lbs (18%)
Raw Organic Honey- 1 lb at end of boil
Boil: 60 minute
Magnum Hallertauer (13% aa) - 1 oz @ 60
Magnum Hallertauer - 1 oz @ 15
Wildflower Honey - 1 lb @ 10
Mash pH: 5.17
60 min O2 through aeration pump. Pitched yeast and put in fermentation chamber at 77F with no temp control on it (free-rise)
OG: 1.046 - pH 5.07
FG: 1.012 - pH 3.8 (as I mentioned before, could probably have waited for the yeast to attenuate more fully but the beer tasted clean so I decided to keg as I’m under quarantine and NEED BEER)
Kegged 3/30/2020 w/ ~2oz ground coriander
Tumblr media
Notes:
4.5% ABV
Super aromatic, coriander and cinnamon.
Silky mouthfeel, soft on the palette, 3724 give a super unique pillowy-marshmallow-like sweetness that balances well with the spicier notes it also creates.
Overall I’m stoked on this beer as a base saison to continue tweaking. "Farmhouse” (whatever that means) styles are my current brewing obsession. Specifically the lower ABV, refreshing, rustic, I’m about that shit. I feel like the best farmhouse beers have a level of flavor and complexity from letting yeast do it’s thing in combination with adjuncts like wheat and oats, and plenty of hop flavor, that you don’t find in other low ABV styles. To me this beer drinks almost like a dry white wine or cider and as it warms in the glass it just becomes more aromatic and punchy.
Tumblr media
Concept:
At least partly inspired by the visuals in this Kanye video: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivCY3Ec4iaU
Been playing with the visual component of beers more lately. Above is something I threw together with this one as I was first tasting it. Something about the smell and mineral flavor of the beer makes me think about winter, COLD AIR, throat chilling humidity, crunchy frozen grass under your feet, river rocks. Thought it was a funny play on the stories about farmhouse beers that they were traditionally low ABV refreshing beers made for the farmworkers in rural Europe. Always thought that was a dope visual. A bunch of tired farmworkers cresting a hill on the way back to the barn at the end of a hot summer day. Sitting down in the shade and tapping a wooden cask of crisp, rustic saison. Imagining how satisfying that would be. With Cold Canyon I’m picturing a solo creekside walk in the afternoon in the dead of winter. The sun is about to set and the ground begins to freeze agin after only having thawed a couple hours prior. You sit on the one dry rock you can find by the barely flowing, almost entirely frozen creek. Pull out the thermos you packed this morning and pour a portion into the lid. It foams and crackles with carbonation despite having sat in your bag all day. It’s colder on your lips now than it was out of the fridge that morning. A light breeze blows through the bushes nearby and as you take your first sip a waft of floral aromatics from the only remaining live blossoms around for miles hits your nose. A perfect moment of solitude.

Digital art skin coloring tutorial
Just thought I’d share my methods for coloring skin in paint tool SAI. Rather than formal image descriptions I’m just going to describe each step normally and make note of specific tool settings as needed.
So first just set up some outline for whoever you’re drawing. I just did a random unnamed elf here. Since I opted for a lineless finish, my outline is kinda sketchy and turned to a low opacity. I also did all my color on a single layer, so establish a background color under your lines, this helps keep the final image cleaner
Tumblr media
with my basic acrylic brush I lay out the base skin tone (a reddish tan in this case) My acrylic brush uses these settings: min size 10%, density 100, rough round 2 brush texture at 38, blending 49, dilution 36, persistence 45.It doesn’t matter if your base skin tone is a little sloppy, you can blend it smooth or keep painting it until it’s as solid as you want it to be
Tumblr media
now, to lay out my shadows the only thing I change is the brush effect. keeping the same color, change your brush from normal to deep and lay out some general shadows around the jaw, neck, nose, etc. anywhere opposite the light source. Then switch to multiply and lay out the darker shadows, changing brush size as needed for detail shading like around the eyes or nose. Soften the edges of the shadows and blend it all together by changing your brush to vivid. you can also use the vivid brush to establish blush tone to liven up cheeks, ears, and lips
Tumblr media
Keeping your brush on vivid, pick a highlight color (I used a light blue) and establish the bright areas, like cheek bones, lower lip, nose bridge, and anywhere else that’s directly hit by the light source. just like the shadows, blend and soften your highlights with the base skin tone on vivid.
Tumblr media
For the hair I picked a dark almost black color. keeping it slightly lighter than black allows me to shade it effectively. my hair tool is a brush with these settings: min size 70%, density 100, brush texture uneven sr at 64, blending 35 or lower, dilution 12, persistence 21. I use my basic acrylic brush to block in the hair color and then use the hair tool to give it texture and fill it out. multiply the hair color for shadows, vivid the highlight color for lighter areas. If you use a lighter hair base color you can use it on vivid to create more depth of color.
Since I went lineless, I took my pencil tool on multiply with the base skin color and traced out important lines before deleting my outline layer. my pencil tool uses these settings: min size 0%, density 75, brush texture spread at 100, other texture parchment at 60.
After that I just repeat the steps with the same colors to make more detailed shadows and highlights, rendering it all out until it looks done. I use the pencil tool to establish things like eyebrows, eye shape and pupils, details of the nose, mouth, and ears. It can be used in the highlight color as well to clarify the lightest edges.
Tumblr media
(image description)
the final result: an ambiguously gendered elf, head and shoulders only, with reddish tan skin highlighted with light blue. Their hair and eyes are black. They’re looking off to the right with a neutral expression and their long hair is lightly blowing in the same direction. the background is blue-grey, darker behind the elf. on the upper left are three round shapes showing the only three colors i used: reddish tan, a super dark grey-brown, and a very pale blue

STOP WATCHING THE OFFICE:   other things to watch this summer
Tumblr media
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE ZIE OFFICE!! But as much as it pains me to say, the office isn’t a personality trait, so I’ve decided to make a list (e.g. Buzzfeed lists) of my top 16 recommendations for TV and podcasts to watch and listen to—since we all need to stop being basic bitches and FOCUS! 
I hope you listen to me when I say these shows are amazing and actually watch them if you have the time. I'm doing this because I care about you and your TV preferences.
I'll break it up by streaming service, starting with Netflix then Hulu, YouTube, then Podcasts last.
*I apologize in advance for the lousy grammar and lack of editing, but also not really sorry bout it.
-----------------------------------------
On NETFLIX:
1. Arrested Development
Number of Seasons: 5
Number of Episodes: 91
Hours to Binge: 35
Tumblr media
Okay, number one on my list is Arrested development. A lot of people I talk to, especially in my age range, don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about, but this show is GENIUS... on G*D. I’ve watched it around four times now, and each time it gets better and better. I read somewhere that it was created as a satire of Bush-era incompetence and idiotic hanky-panky during the Iraq war. But at its heart, the show’s about a rich family with four adult children—who are all goofy and quirky. Their dad get’s thrown in jail for doing business with terrorists or something like that and Micheal Bluth (Jason Bateman) has to get them out of weird ass situations.
youtube
Above is one of my favorite scenes  (Best clip I could find on youtube!!).
Tumblr media
This show has a LOT of jokes and long running bits that you kind of have to pay attention to to get the storyline. It’s hella META, and at times, can be really weird (see George Micheal Bluth and Maeby Fünke’s little Les Cousins Dangereux). In conclusion, however, Jason Bateman is hot, Micheal Cera is hot, and Tony Hale is ~super~ hot.
Tumblr media
P.S. a lot of memes come from this show that you would know but don’t know that it’s from this show.
Tumblr media
2. The Haunting of Hill House
Number of Seasons: 1
Number of Episodes: 10
Hours to binge: 9
youtube
Scary as f*ck! Do not watch yourself or u will die. I warned you.
I'm not going to spoil it too much, but it's about a family living in a spooky house and crazy ass shit keeps happening to them. They eventually move out, but even 20 years after--when the kids are all adults--the haunting of the house follows them.
There's even a 17 min scene that they shot in one shot!!!!!!!! That's wiLD.
3. Schitt's Creek
Tumblr media
Number of Seasons: 5
Number of Episodes: 66
Hours to binge: 25
Yet another show about a rich family loosing all their money. A bit different than Arrested Development. This show is about a rich ass family loosing all their money and resorting to live in Schitt's Creek--a town in Nowhere, U.S.A. the family bought as a JOKE. It's a really easy watch. The characters in this show are SO un-relatable and mean it's hilarious--only if u f*ck wit dry humor tho.
Here's my favorite character, Alexis Rose just being iconic:
youtube
Give it a try, the first few episodes are rocky, but it gets better. That's a guarantee.
4. American Vandal
Number of Seasons: 2
Number of Episodes: 16
Hours to binge: 9
A lot of people already probs watch this show, but it's honestly so beautifully written. The show is an homage to Making a Murderer, a true crime mockumentary of sorts. It follows two guys, Sam and Peter as they try to figure out a mystery: WHO DREW D*CKS ON THE TEACHER'S CARS?
Tumblr media
Also, JIMMY TATRO!!!!!
Season 2 follows a different crime and it's... it's poopy.
5. Mindhunter
Number of Seasons: 1
Number of Episodes: 10
Hours to binge: 9
Tumblr media
YUH. Just started this, already on ep. 8, very interesting. Mindhunter is about the first FBI agents to use profiling to catch serial killers. THE CHARACTERS IN THIS SHOW WALKED SO THAT HOTCH AND REID COULD RUN.
This show is no joke and based on true serial killers like the coed killer, the shoe fetish killer, and BTK, it's very.... very creepy.
ALWAYS carry pepper spray on ya, that's fer sher.
6. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
pinot noir, caviar
7. John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid
eat ass, suck a dick, and sell drugs
8. The Good Place
is it really the good place?
---------------------------------------------
On Hulu:
9. Broad City
Number of Seasons: 5
Number of Episodes: 50
Hours to binge: 18
One of the greatest television series of all time about two baller best fraaands who get into the schemes of the century in New York City. Illana, a ferocious kween wit ZERO f*cks, and Abbi, an aspiring artiste with a great ass. The two work min-wage jobs in NYC (so they're broke) and they're just trying to find luv and a good bacon egg and cheese.

Think Sex and the City but fresh and new and wild. Abbi and Ilana's dialogue and schemes are relatable af, it makes it seem like you're there with them. Their co-dependency is so powerful... yet at moments, a lil destructive. I once had a friendship like this.. and let me tell you... co-dependency is a wild ride.

Some of the funniest scenes in this show is just of them talking on the street. Sometimes, when I'm walking with my friends, I pretend like I'm in the show lol.
Tumblr media
I recommend you start from beginning to end because of the endless callbacks and running gags, but if not start with season 3, episode 7 B&B-NYC. Blake Griffin is in it.
10. Community
Number of Seasons: 6
Number of Episodes: 110
Hours to binge: 41
What can I say about this show to make you watch it? Well first of all the fact that Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) is in it should already have you clicking over to Hulu by now.
Tumblr media
Community is about seven quirky misfits: a disbarred lawyer, a failed housewife, an activist everyone hates, a racist old man, a stupid jock who lost his sports scholarship, a high-strung know-it-all who took too much adderall, and abed. They all end up at Greendale Community College with a phsyco spanish teacher and a colorful dean. 
Tumblr media
This show is kind of a parody of a sitcom, and it is VERY meta--often referring to themselves as TV show characters. The seven get into hilarious adventures and obstacles along the way. The show also genre hops from time to time. For example, they have a whole pillow fort vs. blanket fort episode (Pillows and Blankets, season 3, episode 4) in a Ken Burns documentary style, an episode in claymation for Christmas (Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas, season 2, episode 11), and a bunch of paintball episodes in style of Quentin Tarantino and StarWars.
Tumblr media
Again, you should start at the beginning, but if you want to get into it quickly, I really loved Pillows and Blankets (season 3, episode 4).
11. The Mindy Project
As a "petite asian woman" who is not petite, this show is very relatable. About finding love and eating good in the big apple.  
P.S. If you don't like Kelly from the office, you're dead 2 m3.
12. Brooklyn 99
Cool. coolcoolcoolcool. Jake Peralta is the greatest detective/genius.
13. Superstore
If Walmart and the office had a baby and it was incompetent.

You straight up know these guys, fool. Four stoner/burn-outs who think your hometown's Mexican food is the best in the world. Amazingly written and surprisingly good acting. Lightweight lowkey thought they were speaking another language at first.
Jimmy Tatro, Cody Ko, Getter, and Nick Colletti. What more do you want? LITERALLY WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
The unnecessary drama and endless quotable jokes in this show leads you wanting more with only 14 episodes totaling at around four hours.

Noel Miller and Cody Ko talk about literally anything, but goofy. I can listen to them talk for straight up hours.

Just start listening, bro.
16. My Favorite Murder
No shade to Codel, but My Favorite Murder is my all time favorite podcast. Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark  are two hilarious women who love murder. Not murdering, but the psychology of murderers and survivors. Each Thursdays each of them tell a story about a murder. They don't make fun of murders, but it's their banter that makes it fun to listen to.
Tumblr media
If you're a fan of true crime at all, please listen so I have more people to talk about it with. shouts outs Jenna for putting me on to the show!
Here are my favorite episodes!
*tip: skip the first 15-20 min to the first murder when first listening.
150: How Dare You Kill Kelli
The Hanging of Alice Riley and The Murder of Reyena Marroquin
131: The Uninhibited
The Murder of Standford White and The Case of the Boys on the Tracks
