Decluttering 7 Things for 7 Days

Hello and welcome to a decluttering post, I have done some cleaning and decluttering things in the past. I have not made a post on the topic in a while, but I wanted to get back to it for a few reasons. The first and main reason is that I felt that a lot more clutter has found its way back into my life. Now, my living situation has changed in the last year so it could be because I have less room…

As the wedding party was in full swing, Nicholas approached Isabeau and asked her to dance.

"Thank you, Sir Nicholas, but no."

Crestfallen, Nicholas nodded and began to turn away.

"But I would like to speak with you," Isabeau quickly added.

"Indeed, my Lady? We may speak about anything you desire."

Isabeau couldn't help but laugh a little at his boyish excitement to talk to her.

"I've been working on an art collection of my own," Isabeau explained. "It is quite different to anything I have seen done before, and as I am no painter, I would greatly appreciate your insights on the quality of the work."

"I would be honoured, my Lady."

Isabeau indicated for Nicholas to follow her. She took him to the top of a tower in the castle which she had had repurposed as an observatory. She showed Nicholas the telescope, explaining what it did and allowing him to gaze through the lens.

"Mon Dieu - c'est magnifique," Nicholas said, his voice as breathless and amazed as Isabeau's had been. His response made her laugh again - whenever he returned to his native French, she knew it meant he was especially excited.

"The science is quite ground-breaking, but its challenge is that it is only accessible to a select few who possess a telescope and understand how to use it. At present, that is fewer than twenty people in the entire world. It seems a travesty that such beauty be so rarely seen," said Isabeau.

"I quite agree," nodded Nicholas.

"My thought was that the answer lie in a melding of the worlds of art and science: what science can find, art can recreate. That led me to produce these," Isabeau explained, pointing to a wall behind them.

Nicholas approached the works, studying each one carefully. His silence unnerved Isabeau so she explained more,

"I know I am no painter, but I think there is potential here. If scientists could train true artists, like you, to use the telescope, then perhaps -"

"You are a true artist," interrupted Nicholas, his voice feeling far-off and distant, as if the pictures had taken him to another world. "These are..." he turned to look at her, "...incroyable."

From seemingly nowhere, Isabeau began to cry.

"My Lady, I am so sorry. What did I say?" asked Nicholas, rushing to comfort her.

It took some time for Isabeau to be able to speak.

"It's just... Ever since I learned about the telescope, all I have wanted is to tell you about it and share everything I've been doing with you. For every minute I have dedicated to my work, a minute has been dedicated to wondering what you think and how you would love all of this and..."

Isabeau broke down crying again and Nicholas hugged her tightly.

"If it would please you, my Lady," said Nicholas quietly, "I would like to serve as your assistant while you continue this collection. You must be the artist here, but I will do whatever I can to help."

Isabeau wiped away her tears and smiled, "Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you."

7 ways to reduce your screen time...

If you create content for a living, schedule your posts in one sitting so you don't have to spend as much time putting them out throughout the day.

Turn on your phone's grayscale setting — this overrides our natural inclination to click on the brightly colored app icons of addictive socials like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and more.

Use a minimalist phone app. This removes icons altogether, and forces you to intentionally look for what you need from a list of apps as opposed to mindlessly clicking. I'm currently using an app called Oasis Launcher from the Google Play Store.

Turn off notifications from social media, so you are only prompted to spend time on those apps through your own natural inclination.

Oftentimes we reach for our phones because our hands are idle, not because we actually want to spend the time on them — find something to keep your hands busy. For me this is crochet, but it could be a book, a painting, or some other kind of project.

If you find that you spend a lot of time on certain social media apps, try uninstalling the app itself, and only using that form of media through your phone browser. I used to spend a lot of time window shopping on Amazon, and the added inconvenience of not having it available in one click has really helped deter me from spending so much time on it — now I only jump on and use it when I truly need to order something for the household.

Reevaluate your screen time at the end of every week. Many phones have a "digital well-being" feature now that allows you to set time limits on apps, and see how your screen time compares to previous weeks. This can be a great way to evaluate where you need to trim down your usage.

Batch n°2 of this “photo studies without picking colours” challenge I’m doing! Buildings and interiors this time, which means I actually had to worry about perspective for some of these-

I mostly failed to keep them to the hour mark this time around, either because I got caught up in the euphoria of rendering various pots, or because I vastly underestimated the amount of details these had, or because I thought it would be a good idea to paint an entire carousel. 

But hey, this is a learning experience! I'm having fun :D

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4

(references from pexels.com, putting some comparisons under the readmore if you want to see how well I did with the colour matching)

:>

#mydrawings #studies #background #August drawing challenge #the carousel definitely was a little too much effort for a daily challenge #but i've wanted to draw one for years so this gave me an excuse to actually commit #also i did the minimalist one because i thought it would be simpler after that weird pistachio green-yellow but. Actually #turns out that when you can't eyedrop colours it's not so easy to tell what kind of grey a grey is #is it a cool grey? a warm grey? a very desaturated orange or a purple??? figure it out good luck #anyway #portraits next? i'm a little apprehensive because realism isn't really my comfort zone but i'll try my best ^^

i need more tfota edits. but not like the minimalist edits with the quasi-edited, semi-relevant photo and the one line from the book in a small, unassuming beige sans serif font; or the four pics that all have the same colour palette/filter so they vaguely fit together but really more in a moodboard sense (which are both fine! btw. just not what i'm craving rn).

i need the tfota edits like they used to make them on here- with loads of overlays and saturation. with bold fonts, sometimes overlapping each other, sometimes skewed at odd angles. bitches would go out into the depths of the interwebs and dredge up priceless pearls of photos and they wouldn't just place the photos side by side– they'd create atmosphere. i love that shit. give me excess! give me overripe colours and design! give me unhinged maximalism!

#please i beg #i'm going insane over this for some reason #i say this as someone who has created both maximalist and minimalist edits for the fandom btw #i know the particular challenges of both and i'm not putting one above the other #i'm just saying i need one more than the other rn #tfota #jurdan #holly black

the idea of a capsule wardrobe is so fucking bonkers to me cuz they're like

"you should only have 30-60 items"

and you're like wow that sounds tough

amd then you find out that that's PER SEASON and also doesn't include underwear and socks and pajamas and whatnot

and suddenly you're just like??? that's just a normal fucking amount of clothes???

they make it sound like it's some Revolutionary Minimalist Idea but it's just how normal people dress i think

"every item should be versatile and work in more than one outfit!" is that not how most people shop? like, we don't have money for one-outfit-wonders; that shirt better look good with at least two pairs of pants that we own or it's not worth it

#eliot posts #it's almost challenging in the winter i guess #cuz then each outfit has like 2-3 shirts 1-2 pants boots coat gloves hat etc #but in the summer? shirt shorts shoes and maybe a sunhat and/or accessory. maybe a jacket or cardigan for going to air conditioned places #zero challenge at all to pare that down #but yeah like i didn't even plan my wardrobe very Intentionally #and i definitely don't have that sleek minimalist aesthetic most capsule wardrobe ppl promote #and yet i hardly ever feel short on clothes #(unless i have gone A Very Long Time without doing laundry and am LITERALLY running out) #and i've gotten many compliments on ny sense of style #like i think i could stand to add a few more items to my wardrobe #specifically varying the cuts. bc i already have a nice variety in colours #...i almost wonder if the lack of colour makes it MORE difficult to keep a reasonable number of clothes. #it's hard to make outfits look UNIQUE if it's all fuckin beige

purple prose might be another term that needs to be put on the high shelf of writing advice cause why does nobody seem to agree on what it actually means 😭😭😭

#atp does the ‘correct’ definition even matter? within community it’s already wildly used ooc and unhelpfully #like is it all ‘elaborate’ prose or is it when prose is overdone? who decides when prose is overdone? #I don’t really use the term at all for myself personally bc I think like pantsing it doesn’t say anything #and is too broad you know #I also don’t think it’s wise to have a term that’s essentially going to be used to mean Style Is Bad And Invalid #teenage me felt fucking awful when I realised people would consider my prose purple!!! #and even if my prose was in hindsight hard to understand - purple prose as an idea didn’t give me the tools #to unpack that for myself and understand better how to approach the balance of style and clarity #(I’m even gonna go and say clarity is not an objective thing either and in some cases #writers will have the intention to challenge clarity #also I think clarity as an idea is interesting when you think about prose vs poetry #imagine a ​guy who reads a poem and says well that’s purple prose ) #overall I just hate the idea of categorising and adding value to prose styles #prose is such a fluid thing #I like the spectrum of maximalist to minimalist but I’d say even then I go across it in a single project sometimes #also prose style and what is popular and what ‘works’ is something that #is very often connected to culture and language #what if we told writeblr how many ideas of good writing are just rooted in anglo/western centrism LOL

was thinking about making a little meme prompt where byan would design a tattoo for your muses

...then i realized that would require me to design tattoos for your muses when i haven't even decided on what half of byan's even look like

#a fun idea but the execution might be too much for me lmao #I mean maybe if I downgraded it to 'byan designs a small minimalistic tattoo for ur muse' there's potential but #hm. HM. see this is where I struggle with the idea of having byan make an outfit for other muses too #a fun CONCEPT but I have literally no idea what I'm doing :/ #then again it could be fun to challenge myself #idk idk maybe I'll play more with the idea sometime we'll see #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ OOC ⋮ DON’T @ ME.

day 4 // 100dop

trying a new thing. found a pomodoro/time tracker notion template on the internet and copied it. (except i didn't really intentionally take breaks out of fear that i wouldn't be able to finish everything by the due date...but i did! 😄)

also, good sleep does wonders for the brain - i thought some things would take much longer than they actually did (in the past, they took longer, presumably because i've usually been some level of sleep deprived). so i'm sleeping early again tonight and leaving the rest for tomorrow.
