How to Draw Hecate!

Hey y'all, I had the idea to create a little 'how to' guide to drawing stuff in the hybrid style of Rekindled/LO, so here's one featuring Hecate which I was able to slap together from the last episode. Enjoy!! <3

Hii

Just read ur moon hunting poem!!! I really really liked it. Would u be willing to share a bit more about it? Like the process of coming up with/working on it, inspiration, what meanings u attribute to it? I'd just really enjoy hearing more!! Thank u for writing it and for sharing it!!

Hihi sorry this took so long to get to haha

I did write a little bit about all that in the notes somewhere as a reply to someone asking the same thing, but there are a few things I didn't mention bc I didn't think they were important so I can get into that here ^^ Thank YOU for the ask and also enjoying my little piece of writing <3!

Sooo first off I do have to say, as always, that this poem was written about a character that my friend ( @stjeromeshospital ) made. You can go look at cool pictures of him over there his name is elliot prague :) This ended up being pretty long so I'm gonna put the actual deets under a read more *thumbs up

I will say this may come as a shock but the original scope of this poem was I wrote it about a couple of characters that started in a minecraft smp with some friends and they quickly grew beyond that....which is crazy to look back on. I wrote this poem for the other players to find in a book!!! and then posted it on tumblr and it got 12k notes which makes my head spin honestly. I never imagined that something I would make would ever touch so many people.

The poem itself is about a year old now, so the details of coming up with it are fuzzy, but from what I remember:

I was at work during a slow hour or two thinking about a poem my character could write for the others to find. I wanted to write something about his best friend/lover. Hunting is a prominent theme with this character, as well as feeling secondary to an older sibling, so I knew I wanted to incorporate that.

Two major images in this poem are inspired by music! Specifically there were a couple songs that I was listening to at the time that had lines that really stuck out to me. One being "Shot the moon down in a parking lot" from KW by The Accidentals, the other being September by Sparky Deathcap. The latter was more of an insp than the former overall, but I really can't NOT mention it bc it was the crux of the entire image of the moon being something TO shoot down. But as for September, the entire fourth verse was the part that really stayed with me. In particular, "The way the skin splits 'round his bones," as well as "the mud and the blood in the grass" is pretty much the direct cause behind the image of the moon turning everything white when it crashes. I wanted to imagine what that would look like, since you know, it doesn't have blood to spill or bones to splinter. So I settled on a powder. It felt haunting to me lol...I also love the way the song starts out so gentle and suddenly escalates into that climax; it really is a beautiful piece of music, and I wanted to mimic that sort of structure in my poem. I like to think I managed.

The list format is something everyone likes to praise, and I think the only reason I tried that out was because I wanted to challenge myself. I had been thinking about writing a piece for the minecraft server that was a book that was a step by step guide on how to butcher something from the characters' home world. But I used that here instead.

I also remember that I was at work when I wrote the original draft of this hwkhkgshkdh the first lines popped into my head and I didnt want to lose them so I remember specifically running to the bathroom and whipping my phone out to type them out in my notes app which is really funny in retrospect because I cannot emphasize enough how frantic i was to get it down on paper or somethign so I wouldn't forget and I didnt want to get fired for having my phone out LOL. I finished the rest of it that afternoon after I got home.

I deliberately made 32 main lines because the character this is written about is 32!

Cicadas are screaming, the phrase destruction itself, and stars are crying because in the world these characters are from they have no concept of god and angels, at least not the way we do. I enjoyed writing around that, because it was a challenge for me personally

And finally I really specifically wanted to try to capture the feeling of grief. Grief wherein you try to prove yourself but end up just ruining things, or making them worse, or really just fuck up in a way that feels like the world is ending. You want to be seen and maybe you are but not in the way you want. And sometimes it feels like this is just all you're capable of. I wanted to try and capture that because that is such a raw feeling of helplessness. But art is in the eye of the beholder so even though this is what I wrote about, I do love hearing what people attach to it when they read it :]

Theres a lot more I could point out about the inner workings of this poem, but they require a lot of context that just isnt available because I never post about the characters that are mine and afaik my buddy only really posts pictures about theirs and not writing.

ATTENTION TO EVERYONE THAT RECEIVED ONE OF THESE CLOCK/SPEAKER/LIGHT/WIRELESS CHARGER DURING THE HOLIDAYS:

Now if your like me I found it fucking impossible to figure out! I could get it to go from 24:00 to 12am or pm but nothing else. Till I found this and I thought I would share it with y'all so you can make the most of the gift your loved ones got just for you without throwing it through a wall frustration:

How to set the alarm clock: •Double-click the M button (it will then say clock mode make sure you have it set to the desired 24 or 12 hour clock system prior to this) •Then press |<< or >>| to adjust the time. (Left is hours, right is minutes)

•Once the time is set double-click the M button and batta bing batta boom clock set

Note: you can set an alarm too but I found it even more of a hassle and my phone alarm hooked up to the Bluetooth speaker at full volume was more than sufficient. 😂

Enjoy! ⏰🔊🎶💡

How to Create a Travel Budget: A Step-by-Step Guide

Traveling is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it can quickly become stressful if you don’t manage your finances properly. Creating a travel budget not only helps you save money but also ensures that you enjoy your trip without financial anxiety. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a practical and realistic travel budget.

Step 1: Determine Your Destination

Your travel destination sets the foundation for your budget. Different locations have vastly different costs for accommodation, food, and activities. Research average costs in your chosen destination to understand what to expect.

Key Considerations:

Currency exchange rates.

Cost of living in the destination (e.g., Europe vs. Southeast Asia).

Seasonal price fluctuations (high season vs. low season).

Pro Tip: Use websites like Numbeo or Budget Your Trip to get a breakdown of typical expenses in your destination.

Step 2: Decide on Your Travel Dates

The time of year you choose to travel significantly impacts your budget. Traveling during peak seasons can mean higher costs for flights, accommodations, and attractions, while off-season travel often provides better deals.

Key Considerations:

Weather conditions during off-peak seasons.

Holiday surcharges or discounts.

Flexibility in travel dates to take advantage of deals.

Pro Tip: Use tools like Google Flights or Skyscanner to find the cheapest travel dates.

Step 3: Establish Your Total Budget

Before diving into specific expenses, determine how much money you’re willing or able to spend overall. Be realistic about your finances and set aside a contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Steps to Set Your Budget:

Assess your savings or disposable income.

Deduct fixed travel expenses (e.g., passport, visas, or vaccinations).

Allocate an emergency fund (10-15% of your total budget).

Pro Tip: Consider the 50-30-20 budgeting rule for travel:

50% for essential expenses (flights, accommodation).

30% for discretionary spending (activities, dining out).

20% for savings or emergency use.

Step 4: Break Down Your Travel Expenses

1. Transportation

Transportation is often the biggest travel expense, so it’s essential to plan this carefully.

Include:

Flights or train tickets.

Local transportation (buses, taxis, subways).

Ride-sharing services (Uber, Lyft).

Car rentals and fuel costs.

Pro Tip: Book flights and long-distance transport in advance for better rates. For local travel, research day passes or discounts for tourists.

2. Accommodation

The cost of lodging can vary greatly depending on your preferences, from luxury hotels to budget hostels.

Include:

Hotels, hostels, or short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb).

Campgrounds or homestays for budget options.

Extra fees like cleaning charges or city taxes.

Pro Tip: Look for accommodations offering free breakfast or kitchen access to save on food.

3. Food and Drinks

Dining expenses can add up quickly if you’re not careful. Plan your meals based on your travel style.

Include:

Daily meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner).

Snacks and beverages.

Tips or service charges in restaurants.

Pro Tip: Explore local street food for authentic and affordable dining options.

4. Activities and Attractions

Sightseeing and activities are often the highlights of a trip, so budget for entry fees, guided tours, and adventure experiences.

Include:

Entrance fees for museums, parks, or attractions.

Guided tours or classes.

Adventure activities (e.g., diving, zip-lining).

Pro Tip: Check for free attractions or discounted city passes to save money.

5. Miscellaneous Costs

There are always additional expenses that may not fit neatly into the main categories.

Include:

Souvenirs and shopping.

Travel insurance.

Tips and gratuities.

Pro Tip: Allocate a small daily allowance for unforeseen expenses like laundry or emergency medical needs.

Step 5: Research and Use Tools for Cost Estimation

Once you’ve identified the key expense categories, start researching actual costs for your destination. Several online tools and apps can help you estimate and track expenses.

Helpful Resources:

Kayak/Skyscanner: For flights and transportation costs.

Booking.com/Airbnb: For accommodation prices.

Trail Wallet/TravelSpend: For real-time expense tracking.

XE Currency: For accurate currency conversions.

Pro Tip: Use spreadsheets or budgeting apps to create a visual breakdown of your expenses.

Step 6: Prioritize and Adjust Your Budget

If your estimated costs exceed your total budget, it’s time to make adjustments. Prioritize what matters most to you—whether it’s experiences, food, or comfort—and cut back in less important areas.

Examples of Adjustments:

Choose budget airlines or trains instead of premium flights.

Opt for hostels or shared accommodations over hotels.

Limit dining out and cook some meals.

Pro Tip: Remember, the goal is to maximize experiences while staying within your budget.

Step 7: Save for Your Trip

Once your travel budget is finalized, start saving. Even small, consistent contributions can add up quickly.

Saving Strategies:

Open a dedicated travel savings account.

Automate monthly transfers to your travel fund.

Cut back on non-essential expenses (e.g., dining out, subscriptions).

Pro Tip: Use apps like Digit or Qapital to save money effortlessly by rounding up your purchases.

Step 8: Track Your Expenses During the Trip

Sticking to your travel budget is just as important as creating one. Use tools like budgeting apps or a simple notebook to monitor daily expenses.

Tips for Tracking Expenses:

Set a daily spending limit.

Record every transaction, no matter how small.

Review your spending at the end of each day to stay on track.

Pro Tip: Use cash for daily expenses to avoid overspending.

Step 9: Prepare for Unexpected Costs

Even with the best planning, unexpected expenses can arise. Be prepared by having a contingency fund or access to emergency savings.

Examples of Unexpected Costs:

Medical emergencies.

Lost luggage or belongings.

Extended stays due to delays or cancellations.

Pro Tip: Invest in comprehensive travel insurance to cover major unforeseen expenses.

Step 10: Evaluate and Learn for Future Trips

After your trip, review your budget to see what worked and what didn’t. This helps you refine your budgeting process for future travels.

Questions to Ask:

Did you stay within your budget?

What expenses were higher or lower than expected?

What budgeting strategies were most effective?

Pro Tip: Keep a record of your expenses and experiences for future trip planning.

conclusion

Creating a travel budget may seem daunting, but it’s a critical step in ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable trip. By following this step-by-step guide, you’ll not only gain control over your finances but also maximize your travel experiences without overspending.

Remember, a well-planned budget is the key to traveling smarter and more confidently. So start planning, set your goals, and get ready to explore the world without breaking the bank! for further queries fell free to contact us.

In 2020 I installed the Jeep Cables in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler with the Pentastar 3.6 engine. The cables are still working awesome. Jeep Cables.com is a veteran-owned company. This upgrade is essential, especially when adding power-hungry accessories like winches and off-road lights. The stock wiring often struggles with the increased electrical load, potentially overworking the alternator.

The install video is back but with some editing.
