@squeakquil 's art blog. Call me Olivia! (she/her)

This blog mostly focuses around The Lands, an ongoing worldbuilding project I've been carrying with me for years, with the premise being "what if the world were nothing but islands in the sky?"

There may or may not be some other stuff too! (Splatoon and ttrpgs like lancer or dnd mostly)

Ongoing projects:

Song in the Storm: Tales of an arctic courier who seeks to discover her origin.

Lands One: A yet unnamed project centering a relic of the ancient history of the Lands.

The Infinite Stares Back: An ongoing TTRPG game I'm running with some friends.

Any follower, any believer in Jesus, has not merely a chart, but a Guide, an infallible Leader. He will never lead the way into darkness, but will scatter the darkness in the way of His followers. And He gives such light to the souls of men through faith in Him, that it will serve as a lodestar for them to the everlasting mansions of life above. ~ Paul Kretzmann

I feel like this is going to be the year I finally do that reread of the entire H2G2 series but in a specially-dedicated copy where I highlight different sections depending on how they relate to worldbuilding, characterization, themes, etc. and use that as reference for my fic-writing.

Y’all should not be afraid to get silly with it. The sillier you allow yourself to become the more you’ll try different things and the artsier you’ll be. I’m not kidding, get silly with it.

This game drives me so fucking INSANE. atom = adam ofc and just. Equating opening to the expanse to THAT choice.

2024 Goals

Money stuff:

Find a new job!

Once that happens, work on rebuilding my emergency savings account

Pay off my car loan (on track to be done in April)

Body stuff:

Complete Yoga With Adriene's January Flow series

Run 500k, including 4 races

Do 1 yoga session and 1 strength training session each week

Social stuff:

Quarterly girls' night - we have a night planned in a few weeks to make cookies and watch romcoms and I'd like to do stuff like that regularly and really nurture those relationships

Quarterly date night - really intentional, get dressed up type dates

Home stuff:

Establish and use a chore schedule

Plant a garden - this might be a few big pots on the patio this year, but I finally have proper outdoor space again and want to use it

Paint 3 rooms

Find a chair for my craft space - it's a big room that doubles as our guest room, and I want to find an oversized chair perfect for curling up to read or craft

Hobby stuff:

Use my loom at least once - I bought it last January, assembled it, and haven't touched it since

Sew myself a Barbie dress - we're having a Barbie party in February, so that one has a deadline

Read/listen to 12 books

Learn to use curling iron - I got one for Christmas and want to actually learn to use it effectively

Everyone who depicts Ford Prefect with freckles is so right for that.

iv got one better. invite someone over or call someone you trust not to judge that state of your room, and use their presence as a steadying focus point. someone you can talk at as you clean to get excess energy out, who you can sit with inbetween tasks, and who can help you pass the seconds in between motions with

they dont even need to physically help, and it helps!
