riddle, ace, deuce, and malleus watching a meteor shower w/ the reader

anon asked: hi! may i request hcs for a reader who's a super nerd for everything related to space and stars (as in. they'd talk about it for literal Hours if u'd let them) dragging out their friend (who maaybe has a crush on them lol) ace, deuce, riddle and malleus to stargaze after hearing there's gonna be a meteor shower that night, perhaps from astronomy class? how would they react, would they enjoy such an activity + how would they deal with such an excitable and odd person such as the reader? tysm!! 💖

im bacccccccc from deeeeeeeed,, hey guys how are y’all doing? i think this will be the last request i’ll do before i focus my attention on the summer beach bash writing collab event held by the amazing, the lovely @nonsensical-twistedriddles​ anyways i hope you all are doing alright and enjoy these headcanons ❤️

for a better visual/image of what the meteor shower is like, refer to kimi no na wa or episode 6 of violet evergarden “somewhere, under a starry sky”

headcanons under the cut :))

riddle rosehearts

being the dorm leader of heartslabyul means that he’s always busy and he has tons of things to do, so when you first approached him he was a little hesitant 

“i....i don’t know (y/n)...” “pleaseeeeeeee”

you gave him your signature ‘cute puppy dog eyes’ and that was when he knew he couldn’t resist, so he agreed

that night he was surprised to find himself in a hill at the back of the school. you had laid out a blanket and brought a couple of pillows and a telescope just in case. a couple books about the whole meteor shower, and books about stars and space in general were sprawled across the grass as well

“ah riddle! you’re on time!” “of course. those who are late have to be taught a lesson” 

you patted the empty space next to you and he sat down beside you

“i’ve actually read about tonight’s meteor shower in one of my books. it happens once every 300 years! i’m just getting super duper excited just thinking about it! the fact that i get to see a comet that happens once in 300 years! aaaah! it’s amazing!”

personally, riddle didn’t know too much about comets or meteors or just astronomy. he just knew what he needed to learn for the subject. but seeing you being so happy and hyped about the meteor shower made him want to learn more

as you continued to ramble, riddle let out a small chuckle, causing you to focus your attention on him

“sorry, sorry. it’s just...you’re so cute rambling about these things. please tell me more.”

riddle saw a light in your eyes as they seemed to sparkle and you continued

he didn’t really understand half of the things you were saying but he enjoyed it

“and...and then it said that-” your sentence got cut off as the meteor shower started. an array of colors filled the sky as the sight before your eyes was the most beautiful thing you’ve seen

you stood up and just gazed at the whole thing in amazement, riddle followed but half of the time, he was looking at you. he was amazed at how passionate you were in this and how he wants to see you smile like this all the time

“(y/n). thank you for inviting me.” “it’s no problem, really!” “they say that when two people who are truly in love are together gazing at a meteor shower...their love for each other will be known to both and it will continue to grow.”

riddle blushed and so did you. were you saying...?

“well it’s just an old legend, though. we should head back.”

the next day in class, riddle approached you out of nowhere and handed you something. it was a crystal necklace in the shape of a star

“i really hope there’s another meteor shower soon. and i want you to come along with me.” he smiled before quickly running to his own class. 

and as the legend went, after spending time with riddle during that meteor shower, your love for each other grew and grew 

ace trappola

“haaah? a meteor shower? what’s so interesting about that?” “oh come on ace! you owe me one anyways! remember that one time-” “okay! okay! i’ll go.”

truth be told, ace really doesn’t mind doing anything and going anywhere as long as you were there. but his big ego doesn’t allow him to agree that easily. 

 you were both snuck into the astronomy classroom and went out the window to the balcony. a perfect view of the meteor shower

“what’s so cool about this meteor shower, anyways?” “a lot of things actually!” you continued to ramble on about it

ace could care less about space, stars, meteors, all that jazz, but since you were the one talking about it, he really doesn’t mind. there was one sentence which grabbed his attention though

“tonight’s meteor shower is called ‘the falling stars’” “what? so like...stars come falling from space? or is it just one big ass star?” “no! it’s called ‘the falling stars’ because they say if you make a wish while gazing at the meteors, it’ll come true.”

“what the-that’s all-” “ace! it’s starting!”

he glanced up at the sky, and truth be told, he never saw a scene as beautiful as that. it was really as if the stars from the sky were falling down. 

“it lasts only for three minutes! hurry up and make your wish!” he turned his head to face you and saw your eyes closed and face scrunched up. some wish. “alright then~”

once the meteor shower ended you giddily asked ace what his wish was

“hmm...maybe i’ll tell you someday.” “what?! why not tell me now?!” “my wish is something you should figure out on your own.”  “what?! hey! that’s not fair! ace! wait for me!”

the next day, ace was delighted to find you skipping through the hallways with a bright smile on your face

“good morning guys!” you smiled to your two best friends. “what’s with the smile, (y/n)?” deuce asked you. “nothing! just feeling happy.” “so my wish did come true.” ace whispered to himself. 

“what did you say?” “nothing. now let’s get to class.” “ow! ace that hurt!” “it was just a playful slap, you big baby.” 

now what was ace’s wish, you may ask?

i wish for (y/n) to always be happy, and to let me see her beautiful smile on her face each day

deuce spade

“what!? it’s tonight?!” “jeez you never keep your eyes open in astronomy class, do you? but yes! it’s tonight. so we should go together, okay?” 

you and deuce were known to be the chaotic, nerd-like duo over these things. you were much more invested than deuce however, but he just likes to listen to you talk about it. 

he helped you up the roof of the ramshackle dorm where you both could get a good view of the sky

truth be told, you were trembling a bit. heights weren’t your thing and now here you were sitting on top of a roof which could’ve collapsed any second. 

you clung onto deuce’s arm, causing him to blush slightly but he assured you that you both were going to be fine

the sky changed from a dull dark blue to a bright, glowing purple and light blue, and you both knew that the meteor shower started

“it’s...beautiful.” the both of you whispered in amazement. you and deuce just stayed up talking about astronomy and how the both of you got interested in it as the meteor shower continued.

“you know something about this meteor shower?” deuce shook his head. “...no? what?”

“it says that you’re granted good luck if you’re under the sky of this meteor shower.” “that means everyone in night raven college gets good luck huh?”

“i don’t know. it’s not specific! they didn’t even say how long the luck lasts or...yeah. it’s just not specific. it’s just an old saying anyways.” you and deuce laughed. 

you both felt something slip under your feet. “uh oh.” it was a roof tile. 

this caused you both to slide from your position and started tumbling down the roof. 

“deuce! do something! summon something soft so we don’t fall!” “u-uhhh, okay!” 

it was his and your safety in his hands so he prayed that he was able to come up with something appropriate 

“i summon...a big fluffy pillow!” you and deuce managed to fall off the roof without any harm and landed on the pillow, slightly bouncing even

you both laughed in relief as the both of you were okay. “hey, you managed to summon something good!” “well..maybe it’s the good luck from the meteor shower.”

“and you know, i’m feeling pretty lucky. so...i can do this.” he leaned in and pecked your cheek. your cheeks instantly burned up as you buried your face in your arms. 

“deuce you idiot! you should consider being lucky that i don’t slap the heck out of you!” he just laughed at your cute behavior and attacked you with a big hug

you two ended up accidentally falling asleep on that big, fluffy pillow and you both woke up to find yourselves in each other’s arms 

malleus draconia

“(y/n).” he called out to you. “yes?” “i heard there’s going to be a meteor shower tonight.” 

“ah! yeah...about that. i was thinking...if you would want to come see it with me?” you fiddled with your fingers. “me? i’m...invited?” “yes! i wouldn’t want to invite anyone else in the whole world.”

malleus felt delighted and was just looking forward to that night. he didn’t really matter what else happened during the day. 

“but i don’t really know where we can watch it from. the other students are planning on watching it too...” “we can see it from the diasomnia observatory.” “WAIT, YOU HAVE THAT?!” you shrieked a little too loudly

“i mean....if you don’t mind.” “of course. it’s alright.”

you were shocked to find yourself in a neat and organized observatory. bookshelves surrounded the whole room and a big telescope was in the middle of it. “this is amazing...”

“you could always come here if you want.” “WHAT?! WAIT, REALLY?” you beamed as you followed malleus. “i know your love for space, (y/n).”

you mentally slapped yourself, was it always that obvious? am i just too loud about it? ugh damn it. 

“you shouldn’t worry about it. it’s fascinating to learn all about it.” you were always there for malleus when he was in depth into talking about gargoyles and you treated him with the utmost respect. you also joined in the conversation and actually asked him a few things. he wanted to do the same for you. 

“i was the one who invited you, yet here you are doing everything.” “i don’t mind...” if i can spend time with you, i’d do anything. 

“malleus, look!” you pointed at a golden glow coming from the sky. it was starting. 

you two stood in silence for a while, enjoying the view of the night sky and each other’s presence

“you know...i’ve seen this meteor once. when i was a child.” “really?” you scooted closer to him. “sadly, back then, i didn’t have anyone to enjoy it with. i didn’t have anyone who is as passionate talking about it as much as you. and now, i’m glad you’re by my side, (y/n).” 

“and i’ll continue to be by your side! i promise, we’re going to see as many meteor shower as possible! we’ll go stargazing, go chase clouds, everything! and--ah sorry. am i rambling too much?” 

malleus took your hand in his and placed a gentle kiss atop it. “hearing  you talk about these things makes me happy, (y/n). and i’m glad you’re by my side. i promise we’ll do all these things together. i’d do anything with you, as long as we’re together.” “thank you.” you smiled back (trying your best not to lose your composure)

and you both spent the whole night in the balcony, hand in hand, with your head resting on him as you watched the stars in the night sky and as the sky turned from a dark blue to a bright blue

just like the way you both wanted it to be 

and now i wanna go stargazing uuuugggghhhhh or watch kimi no na wa/violet evergarden again efjwoejfowe. FAIRY GALA EVENT TOMORROW!!!! the best of luck to everyone who’s scouting !!!

love, a♕

college student!ziyi

[hi! can I request a ziyi college/university au ?? thank you so much + ily ❣️❣️]

(A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON FOR REQUESTING THIS OOF. i had so much fun writing this au uGH my heart is fluttering. and this was longer and better that what i expected so i’m so happy. i hope you guys enjoy!)

genre: flaf

requested: yEAH BOI

you are the top student in your english class

and the final exams are nearing

actually it’s two weeks from now

so after your english class ended your prof asked you to stay for a while

‘y/n since you’re already the top student in my class you don’t need to take the final exam in english’

you internally screamed because it was your first time being exempted in something

‘but i have to ask you a favor’

he mentions that there is some guy named ziyi in the batch and that he’s really behind the subject, so you have to tutor him so that he wouldn’t have to fail and redo the subject

oh and you’ll get extra credit if he passes the exam

SO YOU WERE REALLY UP FOR IT

you didn’t know who this ziyi dude was, or how to contact him excactly

so you ask your friends if they knew who he was

and apparently he’s in a group who calls themselves nine percent????

and that they’re so popular around the campus

yeah

they also gave you a tip that they always hang out behind the school, near the old tree after school

so after school, you went there

when you saw them you were like

wOW, all of them look so cool and handsome

THE VISUALS BRO

anyway

‘h-hello excuse me may i speak with w-wang ziyi’

all of them just stared at you

then this SUPER FUCKING HANDSOME DUDE stood up and said that he was ziyi

‘come lets talk in private’

he lead you away from the others so you two can have a little more privacy

‘whatchu want baby girl?’

you almost gaged at the name he said

‘im y/n, and i hope mr. chou informed you that i will be your english tutor for the finals’

‘well i hate to break it to you babe but, i don’t do english nor do i study for any exam’ he scoffed

you were currently in a ‘BOI IF YOU DON’T PASS THIS EXAM, MY FIST WILL FLY TO YOUR FACE’ kind of mood

‘but if you fail, wont you repeat the whole subject again?’

‘i don’t care, im-not-stu-dying, period’ then he went back with his friends

you went home so damn sad

bc you weren’t gonna get the extra credit

but you weren’t giving up just yet

all the free time you had you tried to persuade him into you tutoring him

but he would always ay no

BUT YOU WEREN’T TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER BITCH

so you followed him until he was going home after school

‘y/n aren’t you tired already?’ he asked

‘nope, i’m not gonna give up until you allow me to tutor you.’

‘fine, let’s make a deal, if i study with you and pass the exams, you wont bother me or be near me ever again.’

‘uhuh, and what’s in if for me?’

‘if i don’t pass then i’ll study with you everyday’

‘PSSHHHH DEAL’ then you held out your hand to shake his to seal the deal

you two then go to his house to start the tutoring

the first day went okay i guess

i mean he did fall asleep while you were teaching him all about verbals and shit

and he did waste 30 mins of the time just to get some food for you two

but all in all he did know a bit of what you were saying so thats good

day 6 ( oof stan day6 guys ), he has already learned so much and you personally think that he can pass the exam and even get a high score

but there was one problem

not only did ziyi’s english skills developed

but also your feelings for him

since every break time and even when you go home you’re with him

you saw his good side

he’s different from what people say he is

he would always look out for you

and put you first

at first you denied your feelings for him and saying that it was only temporary

but eventually you realized that you have a fat crush on ziyi

on the day of the exams you told him to do his best and that he should remember everything you taught him

while you were in the library waiting for the bell you literally prayed to every god and saint you know just to tell them to guide ziyi on his exams

when the bell rung you dashed through the hallways to find ziyi and ask him how did it go

eventually you did find him and he told you that he thinks he did great

and out of sheer joy you hugged him

not realizing that you were just making you feelings for him go crazy

‘are you available later?’ you ask

‘nope, why?’

‘well i just wanna treat you something because you did well during the study sessions.’

‘really? wow sure! i’ll pick you up in front of your room okay.’

after the last period ended, you saw ziyi leaning on the ledge in front of your room

you heart started racing uncontrollably

��you ready to go y/n?’

you nod and then you two went off

you went to the nearby coffee shop which served almost every type of desert you can name

you ordered for yourself and ziyi ordered with you

you were about to hand the cashier the payment but ziyi was faster and handed his card instead

‘what are you doing? i thought i was the one treating you?’ you whispered

BUT HE JUST SMILED AJFNVD

the smile killed you internally oops

you two then sat down and chatted of a little while and talked about yourselves

since you two didn’t have time to actually catch up and to know each other well because the two of you were studying for the exams

he also talked about how there was one question that he really didn’t know, so he just guessed lol

until the topic of the bet came forward

‘remember the bet i told you?’

‘you mean the ‘if you pass the exams i wont be in a 10 mile radius near you’ thing? then yes’

‘can we call it off? because i really wanna know more about you’

you can’t help but blush in this moment wtFFF

and you just played it off cooly by saying ‘yeah, we can be friends, i don’t see why not :)’

after that day you two still study together

and still go to that coffee shop together

and now you two hold hands?? anD KISS???

yeeeeaaahhhh

you two are definitely together now ;-;

OH AND BTW

the english test ziyi took

HE GOT 99%

yeAH, he didn’t get that one question

BUT THATS OKAY

My 2017 in a Nutshell

So I wanted to make a post were I put everything that happened during the year into one post. This is more for my sake than as a post so you can just skip over it if you want. It also probably gonna be long as fuck.  Oh and im also gonna include my new years wishes at the bottom.

January

So, I actually don't remember alot. Just that, I was starting a new semester. And afterschool theatre rehearsals for the musical I was in (Annie Jr) had started. And as per usual, my parents went "Why are you still going to theatre rehearsals, I thought we discussed it would end" and as per usual I reply "Mom, I'm in the class. Like literally, it is my class. You've seen my schedule."

February

This was the month that we perform Annie Jr. On the 14, we performed it for about 800 elementary school students who came to our school as a field trip to watch it (I also got to miss the day of school, so that was fun). My role was Pepper the Orphan. I had so much fun. And it was the biggest role I had yet, a supporting role. And I loved it. And performing for the little children was so fun because we got to hear the reactions and laughs and it was incredible. (In the picture below, I am the one on the far right)

March

During spring break, on March 17, Markiplier livestreamed some "Oxygen Not Included". I had started watching an hour into the stream and so I kept it up while I did other stuff. During it Mark say it would be great if someone made a huge form of game suggestions because everyone had been suggesting games in the comments. So I do that and post it on tumblr. One or two people pop up on it and I expected that much since I had a few Tumblr followers. Then like 50 pop up and then I was like "AHHHHH, What is happening!?" in my head. I check my phone and Mark had reblogged it. Then a few days later since I had seen Ethan (CrankGamePlays) looking for games too I made one for him and he retweeted it.

I was run crew for our musical "Guys and Dolls", this was also quite fun but that added to make March more busy for me. And I have to say one of the main things that kept me motivated to stay on top of things for the end of that school year was the fact Mark and Ethan reblogged and retweeted my thing. So Thank You for that.

April

This is my birthday month, so I turned 16 on the 24th! This month was pretty normal. It was also when we started all those reviews for the end of the year exams and finals.

May

This month school ended! I finished school. But I got a letter in the mail for credit recovery because I got a D in AP World History. The moment I saw this, it made my heart drop because holy shit how was I suppose to tell my parents that.

June

So I did my credit recovery and replaced that D with an A in just four short days. About 2 weeks later I got really sick. I was sick in bed with high fevers for a straight week and lost 10 pounds in that week too. 

July

This month was pretty normal too. I watched fireworks during the forth of July and went to the beach for a few days. And at the end of the month I got new clothes for school.

August 

So this month is when school started again. The day before school I threw up. Multiple times. And got zero sleep that night too because I was throwing up. Although I didn’t think much of it and still went to school the next day. (I also may have almost fallen asleep in my AP Environmental Science class but shhhhhh, I’ve already almost fallen asleep and have slept in that class multiple times this year. It’s not my fault the teacher has such a monotone voice)

Although I started to notice that as a few days past I still felt really nauseous every time I ate something. I would feel nauseous all day. So I go to the doctor and they say “Oh its probably Gastritis that got triggered from a stomach bug. Just eat bland foods and if it doesn’t go away in two weeks come back.” So I went back after 3-4 weeks. (Trying to find an appointment made it longer.)

I also join a knew discord server on August 19th that had some pretty cool and fantastic people on it.

September

I go back to the doctor during this month and she calls for some blood tests. Although the results for that got delayed a bit because of Hurricane Irma (I live in Tampa, Florida) When they did come back. Everything was mostly normal but my SedRate was a 72. I was told the normal was suppose to be a 20, soooo you can see the problem there. Anyways after a few more of these test to make sure it wasn’t an error I was scheduled for an endoscopy.

Also during this month Mark put his tour tickets on sale for “Markiplier’s You’re Welcome Tour” and my mom let me buy a couple for me and my sister. I payed for most of it with money I had saved up since I covered $200 of the total $285 cost.

Also during this time I was doing relatively well in school. And helped out a bit with the set building for my school’s straight show. (Barefoot in the Park)

October

I got my endoscopy done and there was nothing visually wrong but I did find out I was Lactose Intolerant. So they scheduled an Ultrasound. They also put me on a new stomach med that helped out immensely. But my parents weren’t too happy with this because 1- They thought that me being lactose intolerant was BS since I’ve been able to drink milk all my life. and 2- That I was too young to be taking everyday meds.

During the entire month though I was also stressing out about grades because report cards came out near the end of the month. 

I was also on Run Crew for our One Acts during this time.

So Mark’s tour was on the 14. The day before it I wanted to discuss the schedule we would have for the day. But my dad then goes “OH and why should I even take you in the first place. You have bad grades (I had mostly As and Bs). You know what, you’re not going” Of course this hurts me immensely since I had been hoping to go see it for so long. I had asked my mom back in June that if they came to Florida could I go see it. Those wonderful kind people I knew in the discord server I was in were nice enough to comfort me. And after about 2 hours my mom comes in and tells me she talked to my dad and that I would be going.

Anyways I go to the tour and by some insane chance of luck, I get chosen to go on stage and participate during the tour. I’ll include some pictures below that this kind person there had taken and talked to me after to send them to my email. I also have this video .

(look at Bob’s face in the back of this one tho)

November 

This month was pretty normal and relatively happy actually. School was fine for the most part. I had fantastic time with irl friends and online discord friends. I had Thanksgiving break that was also fine for the most part. I also had my ultrasound and everything was fine and normal but the accidental found a cyst on my Kidney. They said it was fine since it was small, but they did want to do another ultrasound in 6 months to make sure it didn’t get bigger.

December 

This month is when review and studying started up for midterm exams so I was worrying about those. But I ended up with mostly As and Bs so I’m personally happy (although my parents not so much, since I got yelled and fucking torn down verbally for getting a B on my math midterm)

This was also the time when deposit money was due for the trip my theatre planned to go to New York. I ha already talked to my mom and she said it was fine but my dad said no and that it was stupid and bullshit and that I shouldn’t go anywhere because I apparently am not a good daughter. So my mom gave me the deposit money and I turned that in but then I got yelled at more and more by my dad and then it just back and forth between my parents so I decided that I couldn’t take it anymore and pulled out. I couldn’t take my hopes for going to New York being crushed over and over. I actually don’t know if my mom has realized that yet. oh well.

And then we had a half assed Christmas because finals lasted up until a few days before Christmas and its usually up to me and my sister to put up decorations and stuff for Christmas. So Christmas wasn’t fun, for me at least.

So that has been my 2017 year. I think its normal as usual. The only thing that has changed is that I got yelled at more this year. And my new year wishes or resolutions or whatever the fuck you call them are the same as they have been for the past 5 years.

I hope I get yelled at less. I hope I can do something I enjoy and have my parents actually support me for once since most of the time they only support me when its something they like. I wish my life can be something I want. (But you know its probably not gonna happen. Like why do I even bother trying anymore.)

I am going to try to be better daughter too since apparently I’m never good enough too.

I just decided to do this so that maybe I can idk look back on it during next new years eve. If you actually took the time to read my shitty post about my shitty self. well then, idk what to say. 

[optomstudies]

Hello everyone! It’s #optomstudies here again with another study tip on Part Time Work! I received the following asks from anons, thank you for prompting this! :) I’m by no means an expert, but this is the advice that I gained while looking for my own job. 

hey, i recently finished reading all your study tips so far and i just wanted to let you know that they’re super helpful!! i’m starting uni next month and im soo glad that i came across your series bc now i feel less anxious about starting!! if you have time, i would love it if you have any tips about getting a part-time job in uni? like yourself, i didn’t think that i could manage high school + part time job so i would rlly love some advice from you again if possible! 

Realise that you can juggle part time work, but don’t bite off more than you can chew. Working more than 2-3 days a week will stress you out, as you won’t have time to complete both uni work and enjoy a little destressing time. I’d advise max 1.5 days a week for a 5 day degree, and that’s if you use 80% of the remaining time studying. Count any other commitments as part of these ‘work’ hours too - if you have church, younger siblings to cook for, etc. Most unis advise 2 hours of self-study per contact hour at uni for degrees like science/engineering, and up to 4 for arts/commerce degrees! So factor that in when you’re planning. 

Research an entry level job that relates to your degree. The best types of jobs would be those in which you are assistants to the position you want to work in once you have graduated. Just ensure that the position promises you on-the-job training, as most students likely have limited employment experiences outside retail and tutoring. 

Research how to write a great first resume and practice interview skills. Your university careers website will contain plenty of information, as well as templates for your first resume to highlight your strengths. There is a wealth of information out there regarding the actual process of CV-writing and interviews, so refer to those :) Make sure you research the company you want to work with, their values and also personalise your resume and cover letter to highlight why you would be suited for that position and what you can bring as an employee. 

Hand in your resume personally to each store you apply to. Politely ask if you can speak to the manager, dress in business clothing, introduce yourself in a friendly manner and ask them to consider your resume if a position ever opens. If it’s for an advertised position, call back in 1-2 weeks to check up on them and thank them for their consideration. Even if the position is filled, you can still gain valuable information by asking them why you weren’t hired (politely of course), since you have nothing to lose. They may have noticed something about your cover letter or resume that put them off choosing, or they might let you know it was fine but they just had a more qualified individual applying. 

Prepare for common questions on interviews, and just be yourself. My manager, who was so kind as to give me a chance despite not having much work experience, told me that she liked my honesty and enthusiasm which is why she hired me. Most of the time for an entry level position, they aren’t looking too much for technical skills as they are looking for personality (well at least for retail positions anyway) and transferable skills like communication and interpersonal skills. 

I hoped this helped everyone! I do have an #employment tag but tips don’t float around the studyblr as often as posts on study methods (please send me links if you find anything, thank you!! :D) so I’ve just linked the posts here:

7 questions to ask at the end of every interview

mistakes

i read the previous post a wrote, a few hours ago, and i saw some spelling mistakes that i did. even though i wanted to go back and fix them, because im somewhat a perfectionist, i dont want to touch it. it was correct in the moment. i decided to write here instead of a journal. you dont really correct your journal, right? well, even if you do, i dont. and i wanna leave the mistakes there. its pure that way. mistikes though. not only spelling mistakes. but mistakes in general. what do i think about mistakes? i dont think i ve done many mistakes in my life. i dont think people make mistakes in general. we do as we please in the moment and then we regret. i dont. yes, i done some questionable things in my life, but do i regret them? not necasseraly. i feel extremely bad for some things, but can i change them now? no. i can not. i dont regret things i ve done in the past. especialy things i thought were correct at that time. i dont usually do things i regret though. whatever i do, i understand completely that will come with consequences. clarity is the word i wanna use, but idk how to use it in this correctly. i was never a good student. on the contrary, i was one of the worst in all of my classes throughout the years. at the time i kinda felt bad for being a “bad student”, but generaly speaking, i didnt really care. school. a cookiecutter. full of taboos. i always knew i was gonna be an artist. i always loved art. fine arts. i love fine arts. i studied visual arts in high school. did the IB programme. it was cool. learned many different things, i wouldnt in “normal” school. im still growing as an artist. there is so much art out there to look at, and learn from. its incredible. some people say artists are lazy people who like to starve themselves. i believe that artists are the ones you trully understand and see things how they are. they live in a different reality than the rest. im very fortunate to be doing what i enjoy the most. my dad didnt really support me back then though. i was in a private school, and i thought i wanted to be a doctor one day. i really wanted it at the time. but, i know myself. i couldnt do it. i didnt want to do it. im not a person that can sit down for hours and study. i never did that, and never will. i study things i find interesting and intriguing. im an artist. do i  express myself through my art? i dont think so. not that offten at least. there are times when i feel like i wannt paint or draw something, and i do, and i feel better afterwords. i like seeing my art too. i hang my art above my bed. my art is usually full of color. i dont do anything dark anymore. i used to. but not anymore. i doodle when im anxious about something. i doodle a lot. its like an automatic mechanism that starts to doodle. some people will start shaking their foot when they re anxious. i will doodle. i like my doodles. they re kind of weird but i like them. i wanted to make a whole piece out of them. my dad doesnt appreciate my art. idk why. i guess he doesnt undrestand it. but i ve seen him appreciate other artists. why not me? his own daughter. idk. my mom supports whatever i do. shes right next to me. my brother? idk where he stands. i know he is happy that i busy myself with something that i love doing, but thats it. maybe im wrong, and he is proud of me. my boyfriend told me that he is proud of me. because he said i fight for the things i want to achieve. he is proud of me. he is the first ever person to tell me that is proud for something i did. first person in 24 years. i knew he was happy that i was trying to make my art, but i didnt even think that he could ve been proud. idk why it was such a surprise when he told me. i almost bursted in tears that moment. he laughed. he makes me laugh. he makes me happy. he makes my life happier and easier and brighter. i wake up and i look forward to seeing him, and hearing him and smelling his scent. is it weird? idk if it is, but even if it is weird i dont care. he is my other half. happy times. not always, but mostly. we ve been through some shit together. it was though. its all good now. i feel numb. once again. i let my feelings take over while im writting this shit post. ugh. what wrong with me? sometimes i feel helpless and alone. alone. alone all alone. even when im not really alone. but i know im not alone. but this feeling takes over. and i feel alone again. anyway. im much better now. and yeah. im good. mistakes. there are no mistakes. we do shit just for the heck of it. dont regret anything, because life is short. and you should just live it.
