Hey we saw you from across the glade and we really hate your vibe.

you’ll find new people to have deep conversations with. you’ll find a new place to feel at home in. you’ll find a reason to be genuinely excited to wake up in the morning. you’ll find someone who will reinvent your tainted version of love. you’ll find a way to reconceptualise your feelings and turn to healthy ways to cope. you’ll find a way to reach your goal and improve yourself. you’ll find a way to live every day with inner peace and appreciation for everything you have.

Giiiiirl, how do you insert the ideas from your head on canvas? I try this and I can't, help me 😭😭😭

Ps: I love, love, looooooove your art and au! I still giggling at your "Stans lost the bet" thing LMAO

Thank you!!! 😭😭😭 I guess what can help is making a list of ideas you think of in your head, reread them and picture what they’d look like to you visually, how they’d feel emotionally, etc., and just go ham with exploring them through drawings. The more you explore, the more new ideas may come to you to better inform your interpretation.

This is part of the process of how I come up with writing/drawing the mock character arcs for my Future AU (I’m still trying to find a more specific name for it!!). It’s very similar to how developing the pre-production of a show/film is like.

It’s a lot of work and a lot of thinking, but looking at all the pieces made throughout that development process can feel rewarding :)

“Keep me away from the wisdom

Writing Reference: Types of Castles

As time went on, new technologies became available for attack and defense. Different types of castle were built to match them.

Motte and Bailey

Most common in: 10–11th century

Construction: wooden castle built on a mound (motte), surrounded by a fortified enclosure (bailey)

Strengths: quick and cheap to build

Weaknesses: vulnerable to attack by battering rams and fire

Concentric Defenses

Most common in: 12–15th century

Construction: central fortress, or keep, surrounded by layers of stone walls

Strengths: long lasting and very hard to break into

Weaknesses: took a long time to build; defenders could become trapped inside; vulnerable to cannon fire

Star Forts

Most common in: 16–20th century

Construction: stone or concrete

Strengths: angles deflect cannon fire, and allow defenders to fire on enemies from several sides

Weaknesses: modern high explosives

Castles were built all across the world, ranging from simple wooden enclosures to vast stone palaces.

A large number were built by feudal lords in Europe, who needed a place to keep their families and treasures safe from rivals while they were away at war.

The Crusaders depended on castles to protect their settlements in the Holy Land, where they might come under attack at any time.

With towering stone walls bristling with arrow slits, murder holes, and other defenses, castles were a formidable obstacle to any medieval invader.

At the center of the castle was the keep, a tall tower where the lord and his family made their home, and which could be defended even if the rest of the castle fell.

Around the keep were wards, open areas where the castle’s other inhabitants lived and worked, all protected by stone walls

horrible news: you have to practice to level up your skills because it's unrealistic to think you'll be good at everything first try

If you're struggling to make the change, it's because the old behavior is still meeting a need.

Instead of shaming yourself, identify the deeper need and allow it to exist

Then get curious about a new way to meet it.

This is temporary. You have not stagnated. You are not a failure. You will heal, you will recover, you will have a beautiful life. It is waiting for you.

HOW TO STAY UNBOTHERED!

1. Never say more than necessary.

2. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

3. Lower your expectations from others.

4. Let your success do the talking.

5. 10 people 10 different opinions. Stop pleasing.

6. Remember your haters are your fans.

7. Don't be afraid to say "NO".

9. Know your truth and be okay with someone else not believing you.

10. Stop taking things personally.

• Let go of control: You can't control others' actions or words, just your reactions.

• Humor: Learn to laugh things off when appropriate.

• Set boundaries: Limit contact with negativity and prioritize supportive people.

• Communicate clearly: Ask for clarification Instead of assuming negativity

• Shift your perspective: Consider the source and if their comment reflects on them more than you.

• Focus on what you can control: Improve your own communication and self-care.

• Thicken your skin: Build strong self-worth and know your value.

11. Healthy detachment.

• Let people be who they want to be, then decide if you want them in your life.

• Trust that rejection is always redirection to something bigger and better.

• Some people are only meant to help you grow, not be in your life forever.

• What if everything is falling apart to come together in a way you can't guess?

• Focus only on what you can control.

Said it a year ago and I’ll say it again.

Pirate all your favorite shows, movies and games while you still have the chance.

Oh, and never stop supporting physical media.

the truth is that love requires effort. you have to invest. you have to give, but also receive. love is not a one-sided contract. you have to water each other. you have to take care of each other. love isn't easy, but the effort is worth it when it's reciprocated.

I have four muffin tips for making bakery style muffins at home.

Tip number one:

Rest your batter for 15 minutes in your mixing bowl after you make it. This is gonna allow the starch molecules to swell and absorb, creating the thicker batter and the thicker batter is known for doming!

Tip number two:

Fill your muffin holes with at least six to eight tablespoons of batter. That’s like a heaping half cup okay. You want them super full so they’re gonna create that dome.

Tip number three:

Kinda goes along with tip number two. You’re only gonna fill every other hole in your muffin pan. And why we do that - that’s so the muffins that are baking can spread and dome without running into their neighbors. Because when they run into their neighbors they get like square edges but we want perfect dome circles.

Tip number four:

You’re to bake your muffins at a high temperature initially. That’s gonna be 425*F for the first seven minutes. And then keep them in the oven and lower the temperature to 350*F for the remaining bake time. Starting the muffins off at a high temperature initially allows the muffins to rise rapidly and it sets the outer surface of the muffin, producing a dome shape.

There you have it. My four muffin tips for creating bakery style muffins.

Nothing will make me laugh harder than Hozier spending an entire verse of First Time being like "my life was saved by the beauty of a bouquet of flowers, do you think flowers realize they're dying once they've been cut? How cruel we are to end the life of something that spent its entire being striving for the simple joy of feeling the sun. Isn't it crazy how they give it their all, trying desperately to be alive and to, if not stave off death, then to go out with beauty and knowing you have nothing left" and then finishing the verse by going "anyways" as if he just said that to you like, in line at the grocery store

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are

This explains so much honestly. I keep killing their friends and slightly disgruntled coworkers. Also explains that slinky feeling that everyone is mad at me all the time.

Yeah, checks out.

writer’s block isn’t real, it’s just your characters deciding to go on strike because they’re mad about how you’ve been treating them

…real

Having ocs is fucked up they make you wake up and think stuff like what if i learn to code in renpy and make this into a visual novel. Who said that

I would rather die of passion than of boredom.

“I’ll remember” is the ADHD demon talking. You won’t remember. Write it down.

I do take my whiskey neat, coffee black and bed at three. I still wouldn’t avoid sweetness in my life, in and shape or form. Hozier is just weak.
