March Magic: Crossing Comfort Zones and Taking Control of the To-Do List

Hello lovelies,  Well, the birthday month has been and gone. As usual, in March, I had a lot of fun.  I do try my best to stay positive, but life is often one big whirlwind, and I sometimes find myself focusing on the negatives, which makes me forget all of the good things that have happened. That is why I enjoy doing these monthly reflections. It gives me a chance to press pause on the chaos,…

January Day 29 - Unicorn

[azalea-art]

Ok so last year I had the idea to do a painting on a paint chip I stole acquired from Walmart each month but stuff happened and I didn’t have the motivation anymore :/ So! I’m trying again this year. Starting with January of course, here are my 3 kitty siblings together again and watching the snow through a window

And here’s one with the flash on if that pic was too dark for you

For the OC asks, a double M feature!

Mask, and Monster. Please, choose any OC in your head, I'd certainly like to hear of them~

obviously im gonna start by answering with Günther because you know who that is

Mask: you already know Günther's whole thing is that he's only barely holding it together, doing things that do not reflect his actual personality. Yeah, hes totally a straight-laced pious religious radical, hes definitely not centering his entire life around his. Friend. He's totally comfortable with violence, he loves Hunting, he loves the acrid stench of burning blood and hair. He hates every bit of this, but as long as it keeps him close to Alfred, he'll do it. He can still bear it, he can. Alfred is doing much more than handling it, he fucking loves this, lives for it. So confident and selfsure.

Despite how long theyve known eachother, he doesnt actually know Alfred as well as he thinks he does or wishes he did. If he were more honest with the way he presents himself, Alfred might not like what he sees.

Monster: now for a character you don't know as well! I write about him as the human version of him but that version is derived from the original dragon design. One of his key traits is the acidic ink that bleeds from his hands, especially when he's upset (because it's a great trope, thank you Frozen). He has to keep this hidden or the institution in charge of researching void-related disturbances in the world will take him away from his parents. i really need to just sit down and write his story because its such a straightforward narrative, structually speaking. It's less that he's ashamed of it, more that he's afraid of it, and what it means for him. It stains his skin, and he's noticed that its been creeping further and further up his arms over time. He wears gloves as much as he can, but he's 16, he can't keep this secret forever. A close call with the Institute's researches makes his mind up for him - he has questions, and he will have answers.

In the third act confrontation,

"FIGHT BACK," Sarkys screams into the old man's face as his grip tightens around his throat. The void reaches further up Sarkys' arms as it burns through his gloves, searing both their skin.

"Why, to make you feel justified?"

The old man's blue eyes are bright, his face split by his grotesque grin.

"Will this heal you?" he spits into Sarkys' face, warm blobs of bloody ink joining his constellation of moles.

Sarkys draws his grip even tighter, stifiling another laugh into a disgusting gurgle. The old man's eye contact never breaks, even as a sputter of blackened blood stains his teeth. Sarkys can feel his body twitching under him, but he isnt sure whether its more laughter that now can't make his past his lips.

--- note self, include a line during the bath sequence specifically about washing blackened blood out of the white blaze of his hair

-----------

Being a teenager is hard, especially if you've inherited a metaphysical curse/parasite that feeds of your worst emotions, and through your own stubborn teenage angst, discover a lot of reasons to hate yourself and the fact that you're alive. enjoy this snippet as proof that i can actually write!

🙊🤔 Reflection 🤔🙊

I chew my bottom lip as I glance at my reflection in the mirror.

The same familiar curves stare back at me as I turn this way and that.

I had a good body, one that was sturdy and strong.

It got the job done at the end of day, so I really didn't feel the need to complain.

But in these quiet moments with just me and my reflection, I can't help but wonder as I slowly run a hand over my arm.

Would there ever be a person drawn to me? To this lil ole body of mine?

Would there ever really be hands who yearned to trace this skin? Would one day someone find comfort in this softness even as limited that I felt that it was?

Maybe… even pleasure?

I let out a slow sigh and turn my head this way and that in the mirror before slowly coming to cup my own face.

I stick out my togue at my reflection and blow a raspberry.

Maybe not today, but…maybe…hopefully one day?

☁️ november's life lessons ☁️

i had not believed that it would be seen as okay to be feeling like i'm running out of time and feeling old in my 20s and i thought that that feeling would have just been invalidated and shut down because why on earth should i feel this way when clearly being in your 20s is not that old!!! but i couldn't shake the feeling despite trying to logic myself out of it and it's been growing on me for the past two years... so this month, i (kind of unintentionally) finally came clean about it to my family. i felt deeply uncomfortable and ugly while doing it, but nothing devastating actually happened except some minor embarrassment...and i think i've learned that it's both okay to have felt and maybe still sometimes feel like i'm running out of time and to also firmly believe that i don't need to feel that way. and i need to analyze why i feel that way. (e.g. i see a lot of my peers or near-peers, online and offline who are much further ahead than me.) and then i need to analyze why i DON'T need to feel that way. (i.e. feelings are not always reflective of reality. i'm still young. i am growing at the fastest pace i can. it's not necessarily a weakness because it also gives me more time to reflect and closely observe every angle of a situation. i have also made a lot of progress and not all of that progress was lost due to extenuating circumstances like the pandemic (the effects of which, i believe, are still rippling and i don't think it's talked about enough, but...that's another story). i actually made even MORE progress in terms of mindset, etc. that i would not have made if i had not given myself the space to take stock and just kept running the rat race) i guess this is what they mean by "you might not feel like you should be talking about your feelings, but please talk to the people who love you about your feelings."

when assessing my progress, my tendency is to only focus on the negatives. what i was lacking and what i am still lacking. any progress i have made, i almost automatically brush off as "okay but it still wasn't enough." when looking back, it's important to look back at all the positive things about yourself that existed as naturally as the negatives, so that you can recognize and re-recognize that you were and still are never starting from zero. be as grateful for your past self as you are admonishing of her.

Day 11/12

Day eleven of the 12 Days of Dreaming. How are you feeling as we approach the end of this cycle of intentional dreaming, wish-making, and manifesting? For me, it’s a mix of hopefulness and exhaustion—a good kind of tired, like after a workout or finishing a creative project I poured my heart into. There’s satisfaction in the effort, but also a readiness to rest and reflect. Today, the Eleventh…
