V2 and Mirage on a date..? (I JUST REALLY LOVE HOW YOU DRAW THEM I NEED MORE SORRY,,)

Why is it now a running gag that V2 smokes in my drawings

Anyway here you go dear anon

[shrekgogurt]

Hello! Long time no see. Thank you for all the tags in my absence. True blue adulthood has been kicking me in the proverbial balls. (Being overworked and underpaid and forced to engage in power struggles with other people’s children leaves very little time for creativity.) EDIT: okay I just got back from my second job and this one student made me laugh my ass off so I like kids again. Also, I forgot my headphones so I’m writing this to you from a very dismal bus ride since one of the only things keeping me sane is listening to the Anne of Green Gables audiobooks on my commutes. (You really gotta romanticize the mundane if you’re gonna survive in this world.)

And because of the Anne Shirley of it all, inspiration is striking every once in awhile. I’m writing, I suppose. Progress is incremental and I’m sorry there’s been such a lapse between IKABIKAM chapters. This one is very intense and I’m plagued by self-doubt and lack of motivation.

Allow me to indulge in a meaty WIPsday. I bring to you two excerpts relating to two songs that are heavily inspiring me for this chapter. One excerpt is Baz. One excerpt is Simon. But do not be fooled, the songs are for both of them at different times. The common theme? ANGER.

The View Between Villages (Extended) by Noah Kahan

The road turns from asphalt to cobblestone as we pass definitively back in time. The moat. The ramparts. The inner gate. It doesn’t evade me that Snow avoids looking at one thing for too long.

Memories flood my vision, haunting the Great Lawn with dozens of mirages. I breathe them in—all the feelings, all the Sunday afternoons, all the petty fights and words I wish I’d never said. They pass by, but refuse to land in the past. Not while we’re still moving through it.

Seventeen Going Under by Sam Fender

I stare at a portrait of a young Davy Cadwallader. Seventeen. Full of fire. No blood on his hands yet. The glossy picture frame glares my reflection back at me. My thin frown is shrouded in shadows of my father—a pair of sad, angry eyes split between us. I think about how punchable his face is and then how half of it’s my own.

It’s a marvel that Baz is the one with a permanently broken nose.

I've been soo much happier the past couple weeks, being able to laze around & read (even though I'm still sick)

It's been so long since I've been able to read, not for school, but for fun. Even before then, I didn't have the time to just sit & read, it was always just a few minutes on my Kindle on my Break at work, or an when my brothers asked me to read to them

I love reading. It's how I survived Elementary & Middle School, how I joined the Church, and relaxed in High School. Covid ruined it though, as it tends to do. When my Grandmother died, I was too depressed to read. And since she was no longer making payments on the Storage Unit, I lost almost all of my Books (I had my Scriptures, "Fire & Blood," the "Leven Thumps" series, and I had my collectors sets of "Lord of the Rings" & "Percy Jackson" broken up, only managing to keep "Fellowship" & "Last Olympian" respectively. This is in contrast to the 100s I've collected, through thrift stores, book fairs, and gifts for 17 years)

I got some more books when working at "Deseret Industries," but my mother has a weird rule. If you're leaving on your mission, everything has to fit in two crates. Needless to say, between grief & work, I didn't get to enjoy many of my books before I had to re-donate them. That's how I lost "Fire & Blood" (I still regret that. It was the last book my grandmother bought for me, and I thought having the pirated audiobook would be enough. But it's not)

But, since I've been home, things have changed. I not only have the desire, but the time to read. I have another reader to talk to as my wife. And I'm the happiest I've been in years

All this to say, I've finished "Assassin's Creed: Mirage," and I need suggestions for Historical Fiction books that take place in the Islamic Golden Age

[thegreatarlecchina]

Wesley: WOW! It seems like a lotta people really enjoy the audiobook so far!

Zavy: How could they not!? I’m the main character!

Shura: It is quite nice, seeing all these lovely people.

Fairy Floss: Well I’ll be! They sure do swarm us like ants to honey! Right Mirage! Wait, Mirage? Where did they-

Mirage: *Clutching Ery in one arm while useing the other to hold their whittling knife menacingly* GET BACK YOU SAVAGES! BACK I SAY!

Things That Give You The Glamour And The Glow, That Have Nothing To Do With Your Appearance

If you think that the Glamour Glow Ritual is only about looking good, about the outer experience, you are missing 99% of it. Yes, looking good makes you feel good, and makes you attractive to others, so it's not unimportant at all. But, if you're not glowing FROM inside, if there is nothing REAL happening there, in your heart, then it's just a mirage, and mirages have nothing to do with my spiritual work.

So, here are a few tips that everyone can apply, to make that light sparkle from inside,

· Learn a new skill, a new language, get that diploma you've been dreaming of, learn coding or useful software, improve your cooking, learn to pattern / sew / knit, start gardening. Add value to yourself by living your time mindfully.

· Start a new healthy routine, of any kind, and add from there. From making sure you stay hydrated every day, from having two or three different herbal teas to choose from that heal you and nourish you, to doing gentle stretching or chair yoga. Once you have fixed one routine, add another, and another. The power of this tip is in the building.

· Do something for someone who is not you, even if it is just calling someone to tell them how much you love them and how amazing they are. Volunteer, inspire, mentor, because the world is a better place with you in it, and you matter so, so much. Be an example of the Glamour Glow.

· Remember that, as everything begins as a vibration, your spirit is truly the source of all your world. The more and better you take care of it, the more you will appreciate yourself and your life, and the more you will shine. Meditate, learn breathing techniques, listen to lectures / subliminals / audiobooks on spiritual grow. And, of course, join me on November 8!!!

1, 14 and 25 for End of the year Asks 👀

Ooh thank you!

1.) Song Of The Year?

"Assassin's Creed: Mirage" by Jared Moreno Luna and ORCH

14.) Favorite Book You Read This Year?

The Terror by Dan Simmons! Technically I did the audiobook version, which was narrated by Tom Sellwood, who was fantastic (except now I have the chorus for "Hail Britannia" stuck in my head. RIP.).

25.) Did You Create Any Characters (In Games, Art, Or Writing) This Year? Describe One

Fenja Vindmaðr is an OC I made for TES: Skyrim.

She's technically a background OC for my Dragon Priest/Dragonborn OC Sahvot, who ends up possessing Fenja's body indefinitely.

Fenja was a mediocre mage who got kicked out of the College of Winterhold for being an alcoholic. She returned home to Mortal to find out that her whole family were killed by vampires. She ends up joining a bandit necromancer group. In an act of hubris she tries to bring back Sahvot's consciousness to try and gain knowledge and power, but accidentally kills herself and leaves her body open for possession.

I wrote a short fic detailing some of her background, here's the link!

Here is the link to the End of the Year Ask Game!

Tag 10 People You'd Like to Get to Know More!

Tagged by the AWESOME @junsongs and @audiobook-mike !!

▪︎What's your favorite game you like to play or watch?

My favorite games to play are Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, literally any Animal Crossing game, Tales of the Abyss, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE! I love to watch people play We Happy Few, any FNAF game, and other RPGs that I'd never play but have strong opinions on LOL

▪︎Is cereal a soup?

Why would cereal be a soup? Answer: NO.

▪︎If the US switch to the metric system, would you be upset?

Well, I'd have to learn about the metric system if the US switched, so probably not. It would just take getting used to.

▪︎What is the most impactful thing someone has said to you?

When I first started streaming, I couldn't quite understand why people actually enjoyed watching me play games even though I didn't know what I was doing AND I didn't talk much about the actual game. A friend I had at the time said that I was "one in a million", which is why people liked watching me. He also said that I was "one in a million" in general as I was different from other people he met.

TheWorldsBetweenThePages’ 2019 Reading Wrap Up

Wow, 2019 flowed by really fast!

Many exciting things happened this year, including my first solo day trip to the Netherlands, and a six week work trip to Sweden - and of course I indulged in books on both trips - and I’m almost finished with my job education.

And of course, I read a ton of books, more than ever before. Also, my blog gained quite a number of followers - thank you so much! I sincerely hope that you enjoy my reviews and will continue to do so :)

This year, I set myself a personal reading goal: to try and read mostly books written by women, and I think it worked out pretty well. I think that they’re a lot better, and I’m spared a lot of sexist and objectifying bullshit. 2018, 40% of the books I read were written by men. 2019, I reduced that to roughly 21%, most of the remaining books being children’s books from my own childhood that I would consider safe ;) Let’s see where this will go 2020.

Due to the high number of books I’ve read, it’s really hard to highlight the absolute favourites and break them down to two books like I did last year, but I’ll try to keep it short.

My favourite reads of 2019:

The Choice by Edith Eger

The Seafire series by Natalie C. Parker - Seafire & Steel Tide

Caraval & Legendary by Stephanie Garber

The Rebel of the Sands Trilogy by Alwyn Hamilton

The Girl in Red by Christina Henry

Everless by Sara Holland

BOOKS FINISHED IN AUGUST 2019 + word cloud of their subjects

(listed in the order that I finished reading them)

Most of this month’s books were so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if half of them make end up making my Top 10 books that I read within this year. 

BAD FEMINIST by Roxane Gay / July 21, 2019 - August 1, 2019 / audiobook version / Summary - Essays exploring being a feminist while simultaneously loving things that could seem at odds with feminist ideology. / Reaction - Roxane Gay’s writing is SO RELATABLE! She allows that we may have principles we strongly support but we are human. Sometimes we find ourselves grooving to songs while knowing the lyrics are degrading or that are made by artists whose actions we don’t agree with. Sometimes we enjoy shows or movies that we know are mediocre and whose messages are flawed. Sometimes we believe in strong women but we want a man to lean on. These are the kinds of things she discusses in this collection of essays. I also previously read her book Hunger and loved that one too. I need to credit her as the writer who made me start enjoying essay collections. 

ANCILLARY JUSTICE by Ann Leckie / July 29, 2019 -  August 6, 2019 / Summary - A sci-fi book set thousands of years in the future in a time and place where the empire uses AIs to control human bodies as soldiers. First book of a trilogy. / Reaction - The reason I was drawn to reading this book is because I heard that it really makes you think about our use of binary pronouns. There are some characters in this book who do not distinguish between gender. Sometimes the same character will be referred to as she by someone and he by someone else and then she again by another person. Furthermore children are not referred to by gender. It disoriented me and I really appreciate that! Sadly that was the only aspect of the book I really liked. The world and characters felt cold to me. I couldn’t feel anything for any of them and I won’t be reading the rest of the trilogy.

SHOE DOG by Phil Knight / July 23, 2019 - August 6, 2019 / audiobook version approx. 13hrs / Summary - Memoir by Nike co-founder Phil Knight which chronicles the story of the Nike company from even before it was named Nike. / Reaction - I didn’t realize I’d be so interested in a book about how the Nike brand was developed but now I think it’s probably going to end up in my Top 10 books I read this year. How was I supposed to know that Shoe Dog would turn out to be an underdog story? In fact, you can even think of this as following the format of one of those heartwarming sports team movies or anime in which one team member after another is recruited into the fold, each with their own quirks. They meld and develop, then defeat their opponents against all odds. Phil Knight writes that these guys are all losers in some way or other, himself included, and almost none of them are athletic, yet they end up being the perfect team to build one of the top athletic brands in the world. They tackle all sorts of business-y problems with gumption and perseverance and are constantly trying to top their rivals adidas. Of course, since the author is one of the Nike owners, it is all from his POV, so you gotta be careful not to come out of reading it thinking the entire company is right in all of its actions. I’m sure there are criticisms about Nike that are still very valid. But that doesn’t take away from the book being a good read.  

CARRY ON, WARRIOR: THOUGHTS ON LIFE UNARMED by Glennon Doyle Melton / August 7, 2019 - August 10, 2019 / audiobook version approx 8hrs / Summary - Glennon Melton believes that if we stop striving to project a mirage of perfection we can get closer to people and build better lives. / Reaction - From the title alone, I thought this would be a book about gun laws! It wasn’t. It’s a nonfic by a mother who is a recovered substance abuser and now shares her struggles with friends/neighbors/readers to connect with them. I’m not a mother or a wife yet but I could still relate to many of the things she talked about. One part I particularly liked was when she described step by step how to get through your day(s). It felt like much of the advice could help anyone whether they are struggling with addiction, depression, or just having a really bad day. 

THE ARTIST’S WAY by Julia Cameron / August 7, 2019 - August 16, 2019 / Summary - An international bestseller which millions of people have found to be an invaluable guide to living the artist’s life./ Reaction - I would say this is like a textbook or workbook for how to unblock your creativity. A lot of creativity, motivation and productivity gurus these days use morning pages and this is the book from which morning pages originated. I’ve already been doing morning pages for about half a year prior to reading this so I’ve been interested in this book for awhile now. This time I borrowed it using the Libby app so I just read it without doing any of the activities. But I plan to get my own physical copy and go through the program in the book. I have a feeling this’ll turn into like a creativity bible for me that I’ll come back to over and over until it’s dog-eared and in rough condition. 

A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW by Amor Towles / August 15, 2019 - August 24, 2019 / audiobook version approx. 18hrs / Summary - Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced to house arrest at the grand hotel Metropol in 1922 Russia. The book then spans several decades of his life there. / Reaction - As I listened to this, it was so easy to picture everything that happened. If you like books that cover a long period of time this is a great one. Rather than trying to tell about every month and every year, the story is formed out of perfectly crafted little vignettes that represent different times in his life and they are all so charming. For example, testing out the sounds that different objects make when they are dropped from the floor above and hit the ground, or subtly helping out a young man on a first date by subtly stepping in to suggest the perfect wine that will neither bankrupt him nor make him look like a cheapskate, sneaking in ingredients to cook the perfect dish behind the back of your enemy, or trying to outsmart a 5 or 6-yr-old in a game of hiding. It’s not a particularly quick read, but it’s so freakin’ charming. And the ending turns unexpectedly thrilling as you find out if our Count makes it out of the hotel or not. 

THE COLLECTOR by John Fowles / August 16, 2019 - August 24, 2019 / Summary - A story of obsession about a young butterfly collector who kidnaps a young art student and traps her in the cellar of a house. /Reaction - I guess this would be categorized as a psychological thriller. The setup is very simple but the character development and interaction digs very deep. Essentially you take two very different people, put them in a small space together and watch the interactions. One is male, the other is female. One knows less culture (as in books, art, music etc.) while the other loves those things passionately. One has no relationship experience while the other does. At times you think, ok, this person’s motives are understandable, and at other times you find their actions incredibly disturbing. Then you start wondering what’s wrong with yourself because of those earlier moments when you found the person kinda relatable. Great read. And you can’t predict at all if the girl will survive. At least I couldn’t. 

BAD BLOOD by John Carreyrou / August 24, 2019 - August 30, 2019 / audiobook version approx 12 hrs  / Summary - Wall Street Journal writer John Carreyrou goes in depth into how it was possible for young entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes to build a multibillion-dollar biotech startup (Theranos) that deceived countless people even though its supposedly revolutionary blood-analyzing device didn’t even work. / Reaction - Man, it really makes you realize how far money and connections can get you. People were fooled and bullied so easily. Throughout the whole book I was like I can’t believe this happened and I can’t believe that happened and holy crap, they seriously got away with that? The second I finished the book I was online googling what happened to Elizabeth Holmes and apparently she’s happily engaged like nothing even happened. 

WHAT AM I READING IN SEPTEMBER?

- currently halfway done with The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (but really JK Rowling)

- To the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey

- Somewhere Only We Know by Maurene Goo

and the rest will just depend on what becomes available from my holds list on Libby
