For someone who is studying to be a video game scriptwriter, play and analyze a game like ‘Heavy Rain’ is an authentic delight! And here I show you the notes I take while I play ^^

*Song of the day: Heavy Rain OST - Ethan Mars Theme (obviously ^^)

Since this scene, Newt Scamander is my spiritual guide!

I’m writing a book about magical creatures. Like… an extermination guide?

Imagine being in your Hogwarts house common room with a candle floating above you to provide some light for your late night reading session 🖤📖🕯

October is one of my favourites months (althought my favourite month above all it’s December), but with October begins the cold, grey days, the smell of rain, Samhain... It’s a wonderful month, and I want to paint my bujo for this month with its colours, and this is the result ^^

Today here in Spain we celebrate the ‘Día de las Escritoras’ (Day of the Women Writers), so today it’s the perfect day to share with you why I choose this portrait of Mary S. Wollstonecraft as profile picture.

Simply I love her. And love her novels, she wrote gifts to us and her ‘Frankenstein’ is by far my favourite novel of ever. Not by the horror but by the way she expresses the human condition and the human behaviour... And finally, when you finish this story, you have to ask to yourself ‘Who is actually the monster, and who the human’.

So this day is for you, to show you my gratiude for everything you were. I want to end this post taking her wonderful words about us, the women:

‘I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves’

*Song of the day: Dark Sanctuary - La Chute de l’Ange

Dear studyblr community,

- Who am I? What am I doing now?

My nickname is Invierno (’Winter’ in Spanish), I’m 28 y/o and I’m from Madrid, Spain. I finished my University studies some years ago: I studied History, and two postgraduates studies, one about Middle Ages, and the second one, about Ancient  Age. I’m specialized in Mesopotamia and the world of death, religion, magic and mythology. And right now I’m doing a course to learn to write scripts for video games, because I want to put together my two passions: History and video games.

Besides, I write in my three blogs and I do historical researchs and other researchs for them. The first blog is called ‘El Dementerio’ and it’s my most personal blog. I talk about books, movies, anime, journeys, paganism and share the poems and other kind of art that I create. The second blog is ‘The Historian Gamer’ and (as you may suppose) it’s about video games, so yeah, I do reviews of video games, books about video games, events about video games and I also want to do historical analysis of the video games I play. The third blog is called ‘Sumeria Sumergida’ and it’s about to be released, in this blog I want to talk about the Ancient Near East in all of its facets.

- Things I love:

History. I love Ancient and Medieval ages, but I also love the 19th century, specially its culture, its Romanticism.

Video games. Not only play them, but create them too. It’s my dream, I want to create stories for others to live.

Stationery. My perdition. My paradise.

Books. As I said before, I’m in love with the culture of 19th century, so I like to read this kind of literature, but I love other genres too! If you stay here, you could find them ^^.

Cemeteries. But not in a morbid way, I love studying the ways of death of people through ages, and for me, cemeteries are the place where Sadness meets Art, and together they make the most sublime form of Memory.

Music. I cannot live without Her. Everything I do, I do it with Her, so it’s very likely that I share here the songs of my day to day.

Words. I adore them, I love them, because… What would we be without them??

Harry Potter. I’ve been reading it since I was 9 y/o, so it’s my home (specially Slytherin ^^).

- What you’ll find here:

My studyblr, and other studyblrs that I love. But specially I would like to share with you my day to day making researchs, the notes I take, my fav stationery…

Bullet journal. I’m so in love with them, and I have my own bujo.

Books. I usually read with a pen and a notebook just to write the phrase that read and love. I read in Spanish, but I’ll try to share with you the original words in English, so you could enjoy it too.

Art. I love it, you already know ^^. So I want to share with you my fav pictures.

Maybe cemeteries. Old cemeteries with their old statues.

History. I don’t want to write long treatises of History (like this post ^^), but I do share those pieces, reliefs and other things that have always caught my attention.

In my time as University student there wasn’t this kind of studyblr, this is a young community that I love so much, and want to share this love with you, because stationery is my spiritual animal ^^. Let me say ‘Welcome to Of Books and Notes’ and I hope you enjoy it and stay here! Happy weekend!
