#anyway it's 3am and I have an hour left of the class session gotta go Do That lol

[leejeann]

I was really trying to practice figure drawing the past week, found some videos with good tips and whatnot, started trying to at least do gesture drawings to and really focus on getting the proportions because I've always struggled most with that, etc. The whole thing!

But boy have I been having to drag myself through it to get any practicing done. It's very much one of those things where I'm not that good at it as quickly as I think I should be and my motivation just dies so fast because of it. But! I can't really write manga! If I can't draw people! So ugh fine I have to lol

Anyway I'm making this post because I haven't drawn much the last couple of days because that demotivation is hitting hard again, but earlier I decided to pull up one of those websites that'll just shuffle through a bunch of reference photos with time limits (adorkastock sketch specifically) to force myself to practice a bit. Put it on the longest class session option, which is 90 minutes where the time limits gradually get longer, and 30 minutes into like I think I've noticeably improved what the fuck

Zoom Class distractions

College style

a/n: @saucysamu sent me a tiktok so that’s where the idea came from a and now you all got this mess ✌🏼 (yes I know I’m late on this whole zoom class HC’s but oh well ) - tell me if you want a part 2 and for who!

masterlist

characters: Terushima, Atsumu, Oikawa, Osamu

format: headcanon turned shitpost

pairings: gn!reader

warnings: NSFW, Oral, lowkey public?

Terushima:

- He teased you all day long

- Distracted you while you tried to finish an essay

- Left small kisses all over your shoulders

- That led into hot Make out sessions he stopped right before things get more heated so yes now it’s your time to shine

- He’s got one of his zoom classes right now

- And you out on his favorite pair of lingerie that he loves to see on you

- Black, paired with lash and lace

- “Teruuuuu” You purr and step in front of him

- He quickly looks up at you and then back down on the on the screen and then back up, his eyes wide in shock

- “Baby no.” He says and nervously looks at the screen again. His microphone is off but they are not allowed to turn off their camera

- Getting down on your knees, you crawl under the desk and your hands wander up his legs

- “No no no noooooo- y/n stop.”

- But you don’t stop

- Pulling down his joggers and underwear you’re already greeted by his exited member

- You knew it - you knew he’d be into this shit

- So while having to present his presentation to the class - he’s also getting one of the best blowjobs ever

- “As you can see in - AHHGhh- yes yes I’m fine sorry, so you can see in this chart ....”

- you had way to much fun with this

- Gagging around him, he let’s out a loud groan

- “Terushima?” The sharp voice of his professors is heard through the speakers.

- “I’m sorry I really don’t feel good - I think I should see a doctor!”

- And bam the the laptop is slammed shut and one of his hands curl in your hair while the other one shoved the desk away

- “Mhhhh that’s right baby,..., you want me that desperately? Then work for it.”

Atsumu:

- The audacity

- HE had his day off

- YOU had a full day of online classes

- So you got not time for him

- No attention was given to him

- So what now?

- Atsumu made up his master plan

- You had your camera off anyways

- Sitting down behind you on the bed he wraps his limbs around you

- His chin rests on your shoulder and he purrs in your ear

- “Babygirllllllll”

- “Atsumu no. Unless you can’t teach me statistics leave me alone.” You groan and try to focus on your class

- Which is harder than you thought since he now leaves kisses on your neck

- Sucking on it, slightly biting down until he gets the wanted sound of of your mouth

- His hands travel all over your body - stopping at your most sensitive parts

- “You know babygirl .... “

- he says as his hands travel under your pullover

- “I’m pretty good at statistics - you can ask Osamu.” And with that he flips your body

- Your back’s against the bed, arms pinned over your head

- His other hand already pulls up your pullover while his lips connect to the now exposed skin

- All while hearing the voice of your professor in the background calling your name

- “FUCK Professor Mocke!”

- You try to get up, but Atsumu pushes you down with a low growl

- “No no no. I told you I’m good at statistics too.”

- Pushing you down with his body, his feet moves to the laptop and closes it

- you’re not allowed to scream any other name expect his

Oikawa:

- You were visiting him in San Juan

- And then covid happened

- And now you have to stay longer because of some stupid guidelines from your county

- Well it’s not that bad tho

- Spending more time with your boyfriend

- But there’s one thing

- All of your university classes are online now

- So here you are, at some unbearable time, in front of your laptop

- Your Professor is already messing with you since it’s 3am at yours and he thinks it’s the funniest thing ever

- You asked to put off your camera & microphone so you don’t wake up your boyfriend- and thankfully he accepted

- After half an hour, you feel two strong arms wrap around your torso and soft slips move up your spine

- “Toruuuu go back to sleep baby.” You whisper and your hand find it’s way to his soft hair, gently running your fingers through it.

- “I had the best dream ever...” he mumbles in his raspy voice

- “Oh yeah?” You ask and smile, your eyes still fixed to screen, trying to follow what your prof is explaining

- “Mhmm...”

- “TORU!” You squeal the second he pulls down your shorts & bites down on your butt.

- “Yes angel?” He smirks

- “I have classes!”

- “Well... your camera & mic-“

- “Y/n? Can you tell us about the project your planning to do?” The voice of your professor is heard

- “Tooth I swear no!” You warn him and turn on your mic and camera

- “Uhm yes sure.” You smile and feel oikawa shift behind you

- “Oh I guess that’s your boyfriend?” Your professor asks

- Oikawa now sits right behind you, hugging you, resting his chin on your shoulder

- “Yes I am Sir!” He says and shows his signature smile

- Here’s the dilemma now, you’re trying to explain your project while Oikawas fingers move into your pants.

Osamu:

- Shoving one onigiri after another into your mouth you try to focus on what ever your classmate is presenting right now

- “Osamuuuuuu” you groan

- “No I have to work and you have to focus.” He sighs and flicks his finger onto your forehead

- “Stop That.” You groan again

- “No.” He says and is about to flick again, but you are quicker and capture his finger in between your lips sucking slightly

- “Y/n. Don’t play that game now.” He growls and you let got of his finger pouting.

- “Don’t you have classes?” He asks annoyed while washing his hands

- “Yes, but I got my camera and mic off ... and it’s boring af.” You sigh and put your head on the table

- “Then get this order to the table 8.” He puts a plate right in front of your face

- “As you wish Sir!” You tease him and get up bringing the order to said table

- Coming back you stand behind Osamu and wrap your arms around him, pressing your body against his.

- “What do you want me to do now Sir?” You whisper in his ear and place a sloppy kiss on his neck

- “Not now. My shift ends in 10 minutes.” He stiffens

- “But I’m bored ...” you whine again

- Just then Atsumu walks into the shop

- “Tsumu, cover the rest of my shift - it’s only ten minutes left.” He says and throws Atsumu his apron in the face

- “What no why?!” Atsumu complains

- “I gotta help Y/n with their collage stuff.” He says quickly and you two leave, laptop in hand, to the back of the shop, through the door that says “private”.

- “Soo what did he just say? The human body is able to bear huge amounts of pain?” He breaths against your skin

- “No what- he’s talking about photosynthesis?” You ask confused but your thoughts soon get interrupted when your body is pressed flat against the table

- “Huh? Are you telling me I’m wrong?” he leans down over you, bodies glued together and he starts to nibble on your ear lobe

- His hands roam over your body and unbutton your pants.

- “Y/n - please can you tell us your thoughts on this?” Your professor calls out

- You jump up while Osamu goes down on you

- “Let’s see how much pain you can bear until you let something slip” he smirks and begins his work while you desperately try to not let that moan slip while you explain your thoughts on the discussion question

Well, it’s been a year. Truly. I haven’t blogged in a year! Not since my EPIK return to Korea (wink at y’all English teachers over there) for MinShik & Ara’s wedding.

And here those same people are celebrating their one year anniversary by having their first baby ON THAT DAY. That’s some Gattaca-level skill, I tell ya.

Lots has changed. LAWD. Yes. Grab yourself a low-carb snack because y’all about to get the deets.

Jobs

Two promotions at Grubhub and a sabbatical-turned-bowing-out at Titan Gym ALL IN THIS PAST ONE YEAR.

In January I became a Senior Sales Executive with Grubhub; it was a huge, out-of-the-blue honor and when I asked ‘what’s different than my current job?” my boss replied “Its what you’re already doing with the team, I’m just going to pay you for it.” How cool is that?!

Actual photo of said boss:

Seriously one of my favorite things in my career was in our first ever one on one development meeting last year (right *after* the Korea trip) the first thing I said was “I want you to know I’m in grad school for training and development and that’s what I want to do long term.”

His reply? “OK, let me hook you up with the right person who’s heading up training.” Literally the next week she got me in a classroom training new hires in a session 1x every 2 weeks. MONEY/MOUTH AND ALL THAT. When does that happen?!

And this past April when a new role opened up to become a sales trainer for new hires he recommended and she championed me for the role, which started May 1.

Y’all. I have never felt the Conan mantra of “If you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen” more. I joined Grubhub just to get a sales paycheck and have a regular schedule to pursue my passions and here this place that I thought would be a job I wasn’t going to put my heart into has given me such gifts. Managers that believe in me and CREATE JOBS that I wasn’t even aware of. I’m very blessed.

Now I’m the “Learning Solutions Associate” (ie. Non-Corporate Sales & Account Advisor Trainer) for all employees in those departments for Grubhub Inc. Nationwide. I’ve trained over 75 people in the last 5.5 months. That is bananas to me and I’m so grateful. All that in a year and a half at this company.

Because of that role shift and wrapping up grad school I knew that my time at Titan Gym was coming to a close. I have loved and sweated and bled and cried in that place – sometimes all at once – and I leave with so many good memories and relationships. I felt like I couldn’t be both throwing my heart (and fists) into learning & teaching Krav while also trying to originate a role at Grubhub.

So with a final rooftop drinking session and countless hugs I left (by choice) no longer an instructor at Titan Gym. I’m still a certified Krav Maga Level 1 Instructor through KMA and I know if I’m ever interested in getting back into it that Daniela and Ivo have my back. And if you need a place to kick ass, feel stronger or find mental toughness I will recommend Titan Gym to the moon and back again and again and again.

WHEW.

2. School

Yes, I finished my grad program at University of Wisconsin – Stout and now have my graduate certificate in Instructional Design. I need to frame that fancy piece of paper sometime soon.

3. Comedy

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LAUGH SQUAD?! Oh man y’all. So last October in the week after I got back from Korea I auditioned for a ComedySportz House Team and was cast into the most perfect circle of weirdos by two insanely talented coaches who happened to have the exact same initials – HMS. So naturally our team name became “Pinafore” after the famous Gilbert & Sullivan comic opera ‘HMS Pinafore.’ I have still never to this day heard any music from it although I did briefly glance through the Wikipedia page.

No, I didn’t realize we were all serving fierce face. Or at least my genre of fierce face. Our team just had our final show on 10/6 and it has been a journey. I feel like I’ve grown with such a great team with depth and tears and joy. I have peed myself a little laughing so hard, which I can admit now that the team is done. I mean, I could have admitted it before but why BOTHER.

Truly I have loved the CSZ House Program; auditions for the next round are in November and I’m excited to see what the next group of people I get to fall in love with looks like!

Other things I’ve been blessed to yuk it up on/with: I got cast into a RIFF Music Improv camp which has had me perform 3x with a stone-cold group of short-form music improvisers that HAVE PIPES, y’all. Some of these people I’ve watched perform for years in music improv and it’s an honor to strap on a Britney mic and make up songs for an audience with them.

I’ve also done 2 seasons of MINt (Music Improv Night) at the Annoyance; such an open space to trying weird and beautiful things with music improv and our voices. If you’re looking for a community to fall in love with, the MINt crew is a good one. 4 teams every 4 months and you get such a wide range of experience, skills and strange, hilarious songs.

There’s been a few one-offs performing with friends’ groups and even a couple shows with some MI people I met in iO’s Music Program as an indie group named “AirBRB.”

I’m moving into a season when I’m not sure when my next show is; it’ll be light this next month, which is kind of a fun thing. I’ll miss it. But I think it’s healthy to have a breather and come back hungry, whenever the next show is. And you never know when someone might text you at 4pm about a show that night at 1030pm and you gotta be ready to make believe with the best!

4. Health

OOOOOHHHH fun. Let’s talk about it! Since last year when I got my Krav Maga instructor cert in July (shoutout to the 3am Protein Squad) I’ve let things slip a bit. And why not?! When you survive that kind of thing you deserve to let yourself chill. But…I didn’t really reign it in. I was doing ok; maintaining some cardio but I knew things needed to step up. I was getting a little burned out on Krav. Here’s my 7am face on the way to teach class:

I let myself write excuses and they added up. Once I was done punching/kicking regularly I did CrossFit for a few months – it was great and ya girl loves heavy weights – but the price was really high. Especially when I could be going out of town to our Phoenix office for work up to once a month, missing a week at a time. It was an expensive habit.

So I jumped back into going to LSAC (Lincoln Square Athletic Club) regularly – it’s been 3 weeks in and I’m kind of loving my schedule:

Mondays – Pole Class at Brass Ring (I KNOW) and it’s so fun. Such an empowering environment and an hour flies by. Its slow but I see progress! And thigh bruises.

Tuesdays – Workout at LSAC (trying to follow the schedule Brian (see Fridays) gave me the week before)

Wednesdays – Volleyball with friends at LPHS – y’all we had a double header last week and I burned 1,448 calories in 1 hour and 55 mins. WE WORKIN’.

Thursdays – Improv Day (aka rest and do some make believe in comedy class)

Fridays – Personal Training with Brian at LSAC

Saturdays – Yoga (at home right now using an Apple TV app but maybe at LSAC in the future)

Sundays – Intro to Olympic Weightlifting with Keith at LSAC (today was the first one; I did a 65lb bar snatch from shins to above my head! 9 times! Y’ALL! SHE BACK!)

Also I started attempting/doing a Keto & intermittent fasting on 10/1; it’s been a little rough but we’re getting into the groove of it. That first week, candidly, sucked. The low carb/Keto flu thing is for real. But now I’m used to it; the 12-8 fasting part is honestly not that hard now. Very manageable. It’s more the carb counting thing of keto that is taking slow (but progressive) shape.

5. The Rest

a. Photography

I know everyone has a camera in their smartphone – I’m doing some photography learning – I bought myself a Canon T6i DSLR last year RIGHT BEFORE starting grad school so I hid it in the closet from myself until school was done in May. I’ve taken some pictures I’m proud of and I’m working my way through a couple Lynda.com (grad school got me a free account) photography courses to learn the camera. I’m a student of it right now for sure but here’s a few photos I’m proud of:

b. Norway

I found out last year that I’m 1/8 Norweigan; that doesn’t sound like ‘a lot’ but honestly I’ve never really thought about it. I generally classify my heritage as ‘SPF 75’ but have always known our family is generally German with some crossover to other classically pale squads (Irish, probably English, other various tribes of roving wild-haired people on/around Hadrian’s wall, etc).

Last year in October someone posted in this Women of Chicago Comedy Facebook group I’m in about a Norwegian TV show that 1. Flies you to Norway and 2. You good-naturedly compete with other Norwegian-Americans to win $50,000. SO I APPLIED OF COURSE and got to ask my mom and grandparents questions over iMessage about my heritage. Apparently one of my great-grandmas was first-generation American, born in the US. Her parents both emigrated from Norway in the early 1900s to Washington State, near Ballard. So…if one of the 8 people that made me is full-blooded Norwegian…then by the power of Punnett Squares or whatever that means I’m 1/8 Norwegian, right?

ANYWAYS I did not get cast but I just realized they’re auditioning again so I’m going to throw ye olde application back in there. 1. Because it sounds fun and 2. Norway is GORGEOUS and 3. I did promise Neal Carlin that I would apply again. He’s gone in Italy doing an insanely cool apprenticeship so the least I can do is fill out info about my LIFE.

Our family doesn’t really do any celebrations of heritage. My great-grandma Harriman (she of the Norwegian blood) made lefse for Christmas, but I never really understood the connection as a kid. She passed when I was in high school and none of us kids ever learned to make it with her. Also, keep your traps shut but my real goal if I get on this show is to learn to make Fattigman cookies and then make them with my Nana for Christmas. KEEP MY SECRETS, INTERNET.

I think there’s a real beauty in appreciating where you came from and knowing you are a part of a legacy of choices – good ones, bad ones, ones that had to be made one way or another – and then choosing how you want your part of the story to be written. Sitting under the Northern lights and walking on glaciers would be a pretty jaw-dropping moment in life; 10/10 I’d be crying frozen little tears of joy. So we’ll see! I’m applying!

c. Travel

I’m going to DC in less than 2 weeks – I’ve never been to DC AND I haven’t seen David Brown in 4+ years in person. That’s bananas to me. I genuinely cannot believe that there’s not some time/space blanket fold that I jumped through because it CAN’T have been four years.

But the internet says it has. So myself, Bekah, Adam & Dana (plus maybe their dog Millie) are all meeting up with David in DC October 25-27 and I could SQUEAL I am so excited.

I went to Ohio in March just to see my loves Xander and Trace and get drag-ified myself. I learned that clip on earrings are the reason beauty = pain and that stick on nails are NOT for me. But I looked great.

d. Experiences

I saw my first Broadway shows in the past year – I don’t know what took me so long! I saw Hello Dolly, Book of Mormon, Hamilton. Les Mis, Falsettos – I WANT TO SING EVERYTHING.

I went to the Shedd Aquarium on Thanksgiving – it was BEAUTIFUL and uncrowded and my ticket was free – cue v v thankful.

I saw Conan O’Brien’s show in Chicago and met Aaron Bleyart, who’s blog(s) I have followed for over TEN YEARS.

Passed my Krav Level 3 student test and Muay Thai Level 2!

Survived the Polar Vortex in Chicago when it was over -20 degrees below zero. This is the *inside* of my windows.

My parents came to Chicago for Father’s Day! The umbrella is my Mom hiding from the camera as all 3 of us eat Chicago Dogs outside the Field Museum. Also, I went to the Field Museum.

I went to Arizona 3 times – February, May & August – for work and to visit family. What a cool, weird mix of colors. I saw the Grand Canyon and cried a little behind my sunglasses as my family pretended to not notice.

I saw a Seattle-based artist, SYML, who’s work I love not once but TWICE. Also saw Dean Lewis at the same concert and fell in love w his new album.

Saw a bajillion improv shows, learned which lipsticks look good on my skin tone and saw so many people I love.

What. A. Year.

  More updates, more often, from this face:

A Blog I Pay For and Rarely Update: UPDATED! Well, it's been a year. Truly. I haven't blogged in a year! Not since my EPIK return to Korea (wink at y'all English teachers over there) for MinShik & Ara's wedding.

Daily Doodle 79/365 - March 20, 2017

(EDIT: This is when Pixie asked and I said yes, we became boyfriends)

I used up more energy today than I should have

I started the day with just 2 to 3 hours of sleep, so I should have definitely known how bad this was gonna hurt me, so I’m gonna write this as quick as possible to go to sleep. I had planned to doodle a one panel doodle (Finally) but a lot still happened today and I had to draw it, my plan was gonna go to bed at 9-ish or early 10, but it’s now 11pm, which is still better than 3am, but could be better

Anyways, today I had to wake up early to bring my bro to school, which would be the cue for me to NOT go to sleep very late, but I’m sadly not the one in control of when I go to sleep anymore. Now, today I also had rehearsals for my acting class with my team, so I drove to the university and did such rehearsals. I felt very embarrassed if I have to say the least since we have to imitate animals and having to do voices out in public is something I want to avoid unless the whole class is there or we’re indoors.. but that will happen but worse tomorrow when we do the actual play itself. Hope nothing that happened last time happens again..

After short rehearsals, we believed we had everything set and learned, so we parted ways. I left with my college buddy to the new anatomy class, which is actually gesture drawing.. and I love the idea, the professor is very welcoming to anyone wanting to take part of the class so everyone gets to learn and it’s very enjoyable. When I got in, they were doing 60 second sessions with some calm but upbeat music, but at the end they turned into 30 second ones.. and the professor started blasting System Of A Down on the speakers and I loved the feeling of it all. I jokingly told my friend that 10 second sessions should be speedcore!

When I was gonna leave, I told the professor about my sleeping problem and he kindly told me to tell my college buddy when I got home safe, which is a very nice thought to hear <3

After this I had lunch with my bestie then headed home so we could play some Minecraft again (Gotta lay it off at least a day so I can draw more) and had the same fun but buggy shenanigans, but at the end, just 8pm, I was sleep drunk and unconsciously running in circles, so my bestie suggested we end the game there. It finished with fun, not frustration, which is a win in my book
