Tumblr media
——THE GENTLE SOUND OF YOUR heel tapping against the ground due to the constant bobbing of your leg as your anxiety builds up inside can be heard beneath the sounds of Nanami and Toji engaging in conversation.
You've been waiting for about six minutes now, having watched every second of the nearby clock tick, and your nerves are all bundled up. In the time that they've been talking, you've mentally rehearsed a plan for yourself.
You're going to ask Toji for private lessons.
And no, not in a naughty kind of way. At least, not yet. But for the purpose of one, having an excuse to attend class with Gojo every Monday to really dedicate yourself to the lie you've given and two, to have one-on-one moments with Toji.
Is any of this going to work? Probably not.
The worst case scenario is that this all goes to shit and Toji rejects any advance you make at him, resulting in Gojo posting those videos of you. Great.
You draw your hand up to your face and begin to chew on your thumbnail as you wait, simply watching the two talk for a few more minutes until Nanami finally leaves.
When he does, you watch him walk away almost in a trance. He's got one hell of a back profile. Similar to Toji, the dress shirt that Nanami had did little to nothing to conceal the toned body that lay underneath.
You never used to undress people with your eyes like this before but then again, you never used to see this many attractive people at once.
The little trance you were in is broken when Toji suddenly snaps his fingers in front of your face, causing you to jump and turn your head to him. You hadn't even realized that he sat back down at his desk.
"S-Sorry Mr. Fushiguro." You apologize as you make eye contact with the man.
"You're fine," He says, his expression void of any real reaction to the way he saw you gawking at his student. "Now," Toji leans back in his chair, a slight creak heard as he does so, "Where were we?"
"Uhh..." You awkwardly straighten up in your seat, "I was telling you about the project I had for my sociology class."
"Right." He nods, "Well, I don't mind you coming to my class for a few weeks for this project of yours, just don't be a disruption."
"I won't sir." You hum.
The gentleness in your tone makes the older man shift in his seat a little. "Good. Anything else?" Toji questions, tipping his head to the side.
"W-Well, I was wondering if I could stay after the lecture as well."
"For?"
"Y'know, like, a more..." You look down at your lap. The eye contact was growing overwhelming. "In-depth lesson?"
The older man falls quiet for a second. Then, startling you, he chuckles at how fidgety and nervous you seem to be about your request. "You're not in any of my classes and yet you want a lesson from me? A private one at that?" He emphasizes.
You swallow hard and look back up at him, "Yes sir."
Toji folds his arms, the large muscles in his arms unintentionally bulging against the fabric of his shirt. "What is there for me to teach ya' privately that you wouldn't learn during the lectures?" He asks.
"Well..." Think, think, think, think, think.... "Students aren't the only people I have to study for this project. As a professor, you'd be a great example to use for how topics, such as economics, affect people in education." You manage.
He scoffs lightly, "So, basically, you want to study me after class?"
You wince a little at his words, "Study isn't really the word I'd use for it. Think of it more like an interview."
"An interview?"
You cross one of your legs over the other, "Yes sir."
He takes a long pause, simply staring at you in thought. Once he comes to a decision, Toji agrees with a nod and a shrug of his broad shoulders. "Alright. Every Monday then, I'll expect to see you during and after class. When's this little project of yours due?"
"Six weeks from now." That should be enough time for you to... seduce him, right?
Toji's eyebrows raise slightly, "Six weeks? Damn, must be some project."
"It's my final project, sir." You clarify.
He clicks his tongue and you watch the corner of his lips raise into a little smirk, "So your final grade will be riding on me then?"
Well technically you riding on him is more of the goal here but, there's no need for you to say that aloud.
You smile, "Yup."
"M'kay, cya next week then," Toji says dismissively. You give him a nod and both of you stand at the same time. He walks you over to his door and adds a simple, "I look forward to workin' with ya', kid."
His last word makes you halt. Slowly, you turn only your head back to him with a graceful smile on your face, "With all due respect, sir, I'm a grown woman. Please don't call me kid." You request.
With your head angled back to him, you notice that he's rather close to you. One of his hands was placed on his classroom door and the other was tucked into the pocket of his pants. His closeness causes whatever, obviously cheap, but rather pleasant-smelling cologne to run through your nose.
Toji tilts his head as he looks down at you, "Yes ma'am. My bad, it's a bit of a habit of mine."
The change in the way he addressed you has your heart feeling a little weird. It has to be that deep voice of his, the damn thing is intoxicating.
"You should get rid of it," You blurt out, referring to that habit of his.
An amused smirk spreads across his face. You didn't know it but, he found this one interaction with you slightly attractive. "I'll work on it." Toji hums casually.
You give him an approving nod and then turn away. His eyes follow you as you enter the mildly busy hallway and after you disappear from his sight, he sighs heavily.
You definitely made a decent first impression on him.
.  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆ .  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
As you rush down the hallway, you're lost in your head thinking about how you're going to pull this off for the next few weeks.
Subtly flirting and throwing small hints at him sound like your best options. Being straight up would be dangerous. You'll have to flirt and pretend like you aren't aware you're flirting-- 'innocently' making your way to what lies beneath his clothes.
You hope it works too. And while you're on that thought, you have to ask Gojo how difficult he thinks this will be for you. God, you hate that man. You don't want to talk to him about anything but you're forced to anyway-
You run right into someone in the hallway.
A phone drops and the binders and books you held make contact with the floor. "Shit," You curse, instantly crouching down to pick up the fallen items.
The person you ran into crouches down too, "Sorry," They apologize, even though you both ran into each other.
You go for the phone and motion the device toward the person, raising your head from the fallen items and meeting a new pair of eyes.
Holy fucking shit. It's another one. Another guy from the list.
And this one is... Well, if not for you picking Geto, this guy would've been your next choice.
Deep sangria-colored irises peer into yours, the shade veering more into the brown spectrum, and oddly attractive eyebags circle the male's eyes. There's a dark black tattoo running across the bridge of his nose and his hair is styled up in two messy ponytails.
You think your heart skipped a beat as you made eye contact with him. Hell, maybe it skipped a few beats-- maybe it stopped working for a second.
His face alone was tantalizing. The man was attractive in a way that made you unable to pry your eyes off him.
You think you flinch when he leans closer to you and tilts his head in concern, "You alright?"
Dazed by his caring voice and mesmerizing eyes, you nod your head. "Y-Yeah." You sigh.
You watch as the man looks down at your lips for a second, then right back up to your eyes as if he didn't mean to glance. The two of you grab all of the fallen items and stand up in sync. You extend your hand out, holding his phone and trying to give it back to him.
"Sorry for running into you," He apologizes again while taking his phone from you.
In return, he hands one of the items of yours he picked up back to you. "You're fine, I should've been watching where I was going."
He shrugs it off and his eyes drop down to the floor for a second before he speaks, "Me too. Also, I like your shoes."
You mimic his motion and look down at your feet, almost as if you'd forgotten what you were wearing. "Thank you," You reply as you look back up to the man.
If there's one thing they all have in common aside from being hot, it's the fact that they're all taller than you. It's something you mentally note as this man stands in front of you.
You smile and make a gesture to his face, "Nice tatt." You compliment simply.
His lips curve into a slight smirk, "Thanks, I did it myself."
"Really?" Your brows raise in surprise.
"Yup."
"Fuck, that's cool. Did it hurt?" You ask curiously, unintentionally leaning forward a little to get a closer look.
He shrugs, "Nah, not really."
You examine it for a second, only growing more and more impressed. "It's like, a perfectly straight line. Are you an art major by any chance?"
"Graphic design." He clarifies, "What about you?"
You shrug casually, "Psycology."
The male's head tilts to the side as he peers down at you, you can tell he's impressed. "Shit, psycology?" His head cocks back a little and he smirks, "That's hot."
"Hot?" You blindly repeat, chuckling at him. "It's just the study of behavior and mind, nothing special honestly."
He scoffs, "I'm pretty sure it's much deeper than that."
"It is but, it's more confusing than hot." You argue.
Your conversation with him is oddly seamless. He's now grinning at you, "The fact that it's confusing and you're still choosing to study it makes it hot."
"So, are you calling me or the major itself hot?" You ask teasingly.
He shamelessly looks you up and down and licks his lips before saying, "Both." He hums.
Your face grows a little warm. "Thanks, you too."
"You think I'm hot?"
"No, I think your major's hot." You utter sarcastically.
He laughs, "Yeah? You think graphic design is hot?"
"Mhm." You hum, "I mean, yeah, you're attractive but when you add on the fact that you're an artist? That multiplies it."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"On that note, you wanna see some of my work?" The man offers surprisingly.
"Yes please." You say with excitement in your voice.
Talking with this man in the middle of the hallway was by far the most refreshing thing you'd experienced within the last six days.
He chuckles and his thumb swipes through his phone for a second. When he finds whatever it is he wants to show you, he motions for you to come closer to him and you do.
Standing by his side and leaning over toward his phone, you see beautiful images of dark-colored designs that are nearly impossible to put into one word.
His art looks like... himself? It's almost as though he put his whole aesthetic onto a piece of paper. You catch shades of black, purple, and red ink swirled together in multiple different designs.
"Holy shit," You breathe out.
He chuckles at your reaction, "I've had a bit of art block recently but uh..."
As he trails off, you turn your head to look at him and notice that your faces are closer than you expected. Neither of you move but the eye contact held is almost intimate.
His voice drops lower and his gaze is unwavering, "I think I just found my new muse."
Heat rushes to your face as you grow flustered. By no means was he referring to you, right?
"R-Really?" You stammer.
His gaze dips lower, focusing on the curve of your lips, "Yeah," He hums.
The two of you lose yourselves in each other's presence for a moment. You nearly forgot about... well, everything for a second.
The male was enamored by you. You were just some random girl he ran into and yet he couldn't take his eyes off you. As for you, well, it's simple to say that you were just as infatuated. His face was so close, so flawless, and yet so mysterious.
You clear your throat and both of you snap out of the little trance you'd been in. Then, the two of you turn away from each other, clearly equally flustered by the closeness and lack of words.
"U-Uhm, your art is b-beautiful by the way." You stutter, physically cringing at the way you're tripping over your words.
You haven't been this nervous in a long time. This is worse than Toji, worse than Geto, and even worse than Gojo. Your heart is a pounding mess and you feel like a high school girl with a crush all over again.
"Th-Thanks," The man beside you chokes out.
A sense of comfort washes over you as you realize you're not the only one whose nerves are bundled up.
He suddenly clears his throat, "Well uh, I should uhm, probably get going."
You turn to look at him, "Right. Sorry for running into you again."
"No, don't apologize. I'm actually glad you did." He says, avoiding looking you in the eyes but smiling a little bit.
"Think I can get your name before you go?" You question shyly.
His gaze meets your face, still looking everywhere except for your eyes. "Choso. Kamo Choso, but you can just call me Choso." He tells you.
You stick a hand out for him to shake and give him your name in return. As his hand meets yours, you notice the slight claminess of his palms-- he was sweating... how cute.
Again, he clears his throat. "Since we're exchanging names, can I get your number too? I doubt we'll run into each other much since we have two entirely different majors..." Choso requests.
You're quick to nod and it's in a matter of seconds that the two of you exchange contact information with one another.
"It was nice meeting you, Choso." You voice out softly.
He nods his head, "Yeah, it was nice meeting you too."
.  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆ .  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
Alright, so today was an absolute rollercoaster.
From that morning being all lovey-dovey with Gojo, to hating him all over again, to meeting his stupidly sexy professor, to catching a glimpse of the stoic blond, and all the way to having an airy almost whimsical conversation with Choso.
What a day.
Seriously, what a day. Talking to Choso was so different. It didn't feel like you were talking to a target, it didn't feel forced or uncomfortable. Talking to Choso was the most pleasant thing ever.
As you made your way off-campus, your head was in the clouds-- filled with thoughts of the mysteriously artistic man you just had a conversation with. He was different, you could feel it.
You find yourself smiling at the little still moment the two of you had, how innocent it was, and how comfortable you felt. There's a sudden thump in your heart that makes your thoughts freeze.
Shit, the one thing you're not supposed to be doing. The one unspoken rule you'd set for yourself. You're breaking it already. You hardly know the man and you're breaking the single stipulation you'd put on yourself.
No feelings.
It's a simple rule. A needed rule. You can't go around sleeping with different men and fall for one at the same time. That'll never work out.
Imagine the look of disgust on their face when they find out they were just a name you needed to cross off. Hell no, the last thing you want to do is fuck with anyone's heartstrings-- including your own.
But...
Choso was so-
No. Stop it. You think to yourself. You nearly thought the same things about Gojo and look where that got you? In no way can you come out of this situation happy with any of the men involved.
This is just a one-and-done situation. No special cases.
Your goal is to seduce not swoon.
That's all your purpose consists of-- being a little whore for Gojo Satoru. As annoying as it is to come to terms with, that's exactly what your job is here. Fuck people, get paid. Nothing more, and nothing less.
No one becomes the exception. Under no circumstances do you allow anyone to fall for you; nor do you fall for anyone.
The smiles, the laughs, the ticklish feeling you get in your chest-- it all needs to be fake. Those special and cherishable feelings need to forever remain fake.
The second any of those emotions transfer into something real, everything will go to shit.
No relationships.
No feelings.
No romance.
Just sex.
You need to lock those words into your brain for the remainder of this list. Relationships would ruin things, feelings complicate people, romance will never work out, and sex is the only thing you need to focus on achieving.
You're not Gojo so you don't have plans on manipulating people. You simply want to be freed of the grasp he has on you and the only way to do that is by completing this stupid list.
As you made your way home, you thought long and hard about who you would go for first based on the three new people you met.
Toji would be a slow process since you gave yourself six weeks to figure him out. Nanami is a walking question mark since you have literally nothing to go on. And Choso seems all too sweet for you to think about seducing him just yet.
Based on that, you decide that Toji will be your biggest focus for the time being-- unless you spontaneously run into one of the remaining two unidentified people on the list.
With that being the most unlikely thing to happen given how lucky you got today, you end up organizing the list in a journal of yours at home. You'll put them into your own order and check them off as you go.
Yeah, you'll get through this.
...Right?

Know Your Soul Purpose With Your Big 3
Tumblr media
It's been so much time since I've been here, but it's amazing to be back! Now, here's a topic I was wondering about today...
All our configurations hold divine meaning, in that before we are born, our souls chose the type of experiences we needed to undergo as part of our next visit on Earth. What makes us "us" is perfect in design. And what we're "made of" can be neatly seen in our birth charts. No birth nor birth chart happen by chance.
While it’s accurate that specific karmic work (which is part of our life's mission) is indicated by studying the positions of Saturn, its aspects, planets falling in water houses and the configuration of lunar nodes, I feel we can also find great part our soul's purpose (our main lessons) by analyzing our Big 3. This is equal to drawing a picture of the blueprint of our unique navigation system, our compasses through our human experience.
Tumblr media
To make a draft of your soul's blueprint, take these steps!
Look at your chart to know your Ascendant, Sun and Moon signs and chart ruler(s). If your rising sign has two rulers, take them both into account. In my case, I always use whole sign system.
Identify the houses of your placements.
Start drafting your Ascendant, Sun and Moon signs' significations using the tables below, including both positive and negative traits. If we're moving through life based mostly on our positive qualities, it's very likely we're on the right track. Conversely, living constantly under the influence of our negative traits marks potential blockages to get where we need to be.
Add to your blueprint areas in which you naturally express your placement's traits (houses). This is important because you will know where your mission will be accomplished more easily or naturally.
Have fun!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you're having a bit of trouble to come up with yours, take my own example...
I am proud of myself when I present to the world as passionate, powerful, magnetic, and intuitive (positive Scorpio rising qualities). I realize that when I become vengeful, jealous, obsessive and/or mournful (negative Scorpio rising qualities), I am attracting unnecessarily challenging circumstances that hinder my lessons in my life. My personality (rising sign) projects most in my physical appearance image and identity, in my close communities and in the pursuit of my dreams (Chart Rulers in 1st and 11th house). I feel my life has meaning when I act as a nurturing, sensitive, creative and empathetic person (positive traits of Cancer sun), but when I become needy, emotionally instable, insecure and/or manipulating with others (negative traits of Cancer sun), I realize that I am blocking myself from living in my fullest potential. The area where my conscious self (Sun sign) shines most is in my path towards higher learning, distant travelling, truth seeking, legal affairs and spirituality (Sun in 9th house). I feel safe and fulfilled when I can be brave, independent, assertive and passionate (positive Moon in Aries traits). But, when I realize that I'm repeatedly reacting in a violent, selfish, impulsive and/or inconstant way (negative Moon in Aries traits), I know that am blocking my ability to be peaceful within myself and move ahead in life. My emotional needs (Moon sign) are best taken care of through my habits, health care, daily routine, service to others, jobs, and pets (Moon in the 6th house).
Now, what information can you derive from this description? What does this tell about my purpose in this life?
Naturally, I am pulled to creative, healing and spiritual work. I studied Industrial Design in college, but I've expanded my career in other directions, including developing and managing intermittently art and esoteric online businesses while also holding an office job in Change Management. I am also the eternal student, self-learning and passionate about higher knowledge. I like to share my insights with others and help them find their own truth, their own awakening. I am drawn to intense (and sometimes not so positive) experiences and relationships, and have drastically changed my own image, jobs and spiritual views along the years. I've certainly went through a lot of turmoil, but also have gained significant life lessons and valuable wisdom thanks to the way I approach life. I cannot help to be deeply emotional, empathetic, passionate, excitable, idealistic and inspired, for the good and the bad! Even though it's not been an easy road, I realize that little by little my purpose is being fulfilled... and I hope you all do!
What about you? Let me know what you find out about yourself!
Thanks for reading! 😘🖤

Finding You
A/N: Happy Valentines Day!
Dropping in with another chapter! When I'm writing this story, I honestly feel like such a Zoro scholar with how much I sit there and think about how he's feeling XD ya boy is not very expressive but he's still my pookie bear <;3
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, I don't think this is much of a warning but just in case; you get a bit of acid in your throat from anxiety/shock if ya know what I mean or ever experienced it. There is some fighting but I've not gone into the whole blood thing so its just actions but I know some of you guys do not do well with blood.
Without further ado, I'll be back next week to drop the next one!
Tumblr media
Chapter Four Previous Next
A few weeks had passed since your arrival and you managed to settle in with everyone…all except for Zoro. Since your duel with him, he’d made every effort to ignore you. From aired hellos when you greeted him passing by to moving seats away from you at meal times when you tried sitting next to him to him spending more time in the Crows Nest away from everyone.
As disheartened as you felt, you knew you couldn’t force him to talk to you. You assured everyone that you were okay. You spent most of your nights trying to wrap your head around the possibility that something could have tampered with his memory, removing all signs of you in his head. The mere thought of the endless possibilities made your blood boil and kept you from falling asleep soundly.
To keep yourself busy and away from living in your own head, you’d throw yourself into sketching; deciding to start a new project involving drawing everyone on the ship secretly and framing them to hang in the galley. You were able to draw Luffy fishing, Usopp training with his slingshot, Nami in her study working on her maps, Franky fixing the mini-Merry and Chopper taking a nap in his infirmary. You were grateful for your memory as it was getting harder to remain inconspicuous, almost getting caught by Brook whose lurking ghost form had almost given you a heart attack but not before you were able to slam your sketchbook shut and lecture him on how not to sneak (or fly?) up on people.
You’d also been spending more time with the girls on the deck lounging in the lawn chairs, the concept of relaxation foreign seeing as you’d spent so long journeying around the world. Aside from your usual training which you conducted almost every morning, you asked Jinbe to train you in fishman karate, fascinated by the art which he graciously agreed to do for you.
Today, you had planned to sketch and relax to take a break from your usual training schedule.
As you made your way up to the table on the deck, your sketchbook and pencils ready in your hands, you could hear Sanji and Nami in the kitchen quietly speaking. You moved away from the gap in the door, positioning your back against the wall with your ear inline to listen in. You knew you shouldn’t but you couldn’t help after hearing the concern laced in both their voices.
“Nami-swan, we really need to get a stronger lock for the fridge.”
“Sanji-kun, we need to make do with the supplies we have until we get to the next island which won’t be for at least another week.” Nami sighed out heavily.
You frowned at the topic of the conversation, instant guilt seeping in as you felt responsible for the food shortage. You’d outlined that Sanji probably shopped for the 10 of them, an additional person would add strain especially when an appetite like Luffy’s existed. An idea came to mind and you decided to end your eavesdropping. You moved off the wall and peered your head into the kitchen. This caught Sanji and Nami’s attention, both offering bright smiles of welcome to you.
“I’m sorry, I was listening to your conversation. i-I think I can help.” You offered a small apologetic smile.
You explained your idea to use your devil fruit ability to conjure a hole onto an island you visited before from memory that you knew you could get food supplies from. You explained that your ability allowed you to revisit places out of memory or to visit random locations but at your own risk.
At first they both sat in silence thinking of your proposition. Then Sanji protested against the idea and was adamant they could make supplies last till then. Nami counter argued and saw sense in this idea to save them time and strain. Sanji looked at Nami hesitantly before sighing and nodded in agreement.
“Is there anyone you want to bring with us?” You asked Sanji.
“Not at all Y/N-chan, I’ll get ready for our trip.” Sanji said excitedly, his eyes bore hearts at the thought of spending time with you. He danced away to the pantry to get his bags and ready himself for the trip.
“I’ll have someone near the hole ready to take the bags off you guys. I’ll brief the others.” Nami said as she got up and gave you a hug of appreciation.
You hugged her back, grateful for the opportunity to prove yourself to everyone.
You left Nami and Sanji, dropping your sketchbook off back in your shared room. You then headed to the area of the deck where you’d previously made the hole. As you took a deep breath in, clearing your mind and holding your right hand out, you envisioned the other side. You chose to picture a quiet open space of land on an island you’d visited a year ago that you knew would only be a short walk away from the market.
You wouldn’t be able to close the hole until you and Sanji were completely finished so choosing a secluded area was a must away from prying eyes.
With the hole open and ready, you turned back to the door that went below deck to see Sanji approaching you with some empty bags in his hands. Behind him, you could see Nami, Usopp and Brook holding Luffy back. You had to hold back a laugh from the kerfuffle.
With Sanji now standing next to you, you turned to him, gesturing to follow you as you jumped into the hole. As you now stood on what now appeared to now be secluded farm land, the path to the market however remained the same as you’d remembered it. You looked at Sanji who now stood next to you, smiling before pointing to the pathway as you started walking. Sanji briefly stood in awe at the hole, the coolness of the smoke clouds prickling his skin.
“Ohhh Y/N-chan is so talented! MELLORINE.” Sanji sang out, taking out his box of cigarettes from his pocket to pull out a smoke as he started walking to catch up with you. You were usually not a fan of the cigarette smell but you became quite used to it and found yourself thinking that it would be quite weird not to smell smoke from Sanji.
You briefly explained to Sanji that they would need to be swift as keeping the hole open for long periods of time would affect your energy reserve. With this, Sanji vowed to do his best, zooming past you on the path to the marketplace that could be seen from their current distance.
Meanwhile…
“Witch let go of me.” Zoro keened forward, teeth bared out and his ear hot and sore from Nami pulling him from it. He just wanted to nap. Nami stomped forward, her grip still tight on Zoro’s right ear towards the hole you left on the deck. Zoro noticed the hole, feeling a sense of panic twinge him at the thought you were behind the hole.
Both reaching the edge of the hole, Nami let go of Zoro and pushed him down to sit on the floor.
“Now you’re going to sit here and wait for Y/N and Sanji to come back. You should be grateful, your wife offered to help us out.” Nami lectured, and Zoro let out a ‘ha?’ despite being completely aware of what was going on. He’d overheard Nami briefing everyone and he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it despite feeling slightly grateful that you offered to help.
“Why do I have to do it? Isn’t it Jinbe’s turn to help anyway?” Zoro argued, rubbing his hand against his ear to soothe it.
“That's when we get to the next island and quite frankly I’m fed up of watching you avoid Y/N like she's diseased. Now you wait here and if I see you even moved an inch you’ll be sorry.” Nami threatened with her fist balled to his face before walking away, briefly turning her head back to dart threats from her eyes.
He huffed, sulking as he crossed his arms and sat cross legged against the ship. Since his duel with you, he avoided you. Whilst Zoro had accepted that you and him were married, his mind in his resolve that he didn’t want to commit himself to anything or anyone but his ambitions. What he couldn’t explain was the dull ache he felt in his chest whenever he was actively avoiding you and seeing the brief displays of disappointment that flickered on your face. He was adamant it wasn’t guilt or regret. He rarely felt those emotions and when he did, they were much stronger. He couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was but he chose to ignore it.
Time had passed and Zoro was feeling restless, becoming more annoyed that it was you and especially the shitty cook he was waiting on.
“Fuck this.” Zoro angrily mumbled to himself.
On a whim, he sat up on his knees and decided to crouch over to stick his head in the hole to see for himself what the hold up was. He briefly felt a chill run down his cheeks and neck as he plunged his head into the clouds of smoke.
Now Zoro was rarely surprised. He hadn’t anticipated that as his head reached the other side of the hole he would come face to face with you on the other side. His breathing halted, voice choked in his throat holding back any sound as his eye met with yours. He noticed how wide your eyes were with shock, you clearly hadn’t anticipated seeing anything come through the hole. He was so close in fact, he could feel the warmth radiating from your face onto his from the flush of pink that bloomed on the apples of your cheeks.
After a few more seconds, he quickly shot his head back out of the hole, landing on his bum as his whole face burned with embarrassment. He didn’t have quite enough time to recover his breath completely before noticing a masculine hand poking through the hole with a bag in grip. Zoro jumped into action and reached out to grab the bags, setting them to the side until all the bags were collected.
Once the bags were set and he thought it was over, out of the corner of his eye he noticed you trying to emerge through the hole, your smaller hands were gripping on the edge of the deck. He sensed you were struggling and before he could stop himself Zoro stood up, grabbed your wrists and pulled you out of the hole, bringing you to stand in front of him.
You were too embarrassed, trying your best to avoid his eye. He noticed the flush that was still painted on your cheeks. His eye traced over your features briefly, noticing the smoothness of your skin and the thick curl of your lashes. You could feel his gaze on you and eventually built up your courage to look up at him. His large frame towering over yours as your eye bore into his grey iris. Your eyes flickered to his scar, you’d been tempted to trace over it with your fingertips. You’d wondered what exactly happened to his eye but despite that, you couldn’t deny that it added to his ever-growing handsomeness.
You gave him a small smile but didn’t quite get enough time to thank him before Sanji jumped up from the hole, anger evident on his face as he walked to stand in front of the swordsman.
“Oi marimo, what the fuck were you thinking? You almost gave Y/N a heart attack with that stunt!” Sanji began shouting.
“None of your damn business cook.” Zoro bit back angrily.
You reluctantly moved away from Zoro and Sanji, their impending fight would surely go on for some time as you turned your attention to the open hole.
Once the hole was closed, you slowly sat down on the deck and laid back with your eyes closed, your attempt to hold onto the last bit of energy dissipated.
Zoro didn’t know what made his mind wander back to you during his argument with the cook. His eye had gone past the blonde hair to see you lying on the floor. Abruptly ending his petty fight with Sanji, Zoro walked past the cook to go over to you. Sanji looked back at the swordsman fuming, clearly not satisfied with the ending to their fight. Upon seeing you on the floor and realising why Zoro stopped, a quiet ‘shit’ came out of Sanji as he also made his way over to you.
“Y/N-chan, are you okay?” Sanji asked worriedly.
You looked up to see Sanji and Zoro watching you. You politely nodded, not wanting to make a fuss.
“I’m okay, I just need a min-oof.” Cut off mid sentence, Zoro picked you up bridal style and carried you over the deck towards the girls cabin ignoring the cooks swearing behind him. Zoro really didn’t understand what possessed him to do this. It was like his mind lost control and it had been pure instinct that led him to this.
You let him carry you, all your energy was spent and you were too lethargic to protest against it. You had to stop yourself from snuggling your face into his chest, remembering how much you missed being close to him. You ended up hearing a couple ‘ooos’ coming from Nami and Usopp.
‘You didn’t even know they were watching you…how embarrassing!’ You mentally groaned knowing Nami would definitely tease you about this later.
The sounds across the ship dimmed as Zoro continued to head under the deck.
After a quick wrong turn and correction in direction, Zoro finally made it to the girls cabin. He pushed the door open with his back and walked over to the first bed he saw. He gently laid you down, carefully unfastening your sword from your waist and leaning it against the bedside table. Your head hit and slowly sunk into the pillow, your head and body feeling heavy. Before you could say anything, Zoro grunted out a quick ‘thank you for the food trip’ and left the room swiftly. You couldn’t do anything but stare at the door he left. The exhaustion kicked in, lulling you to sleep for the rest of the afternoon.
After closing the door, Zoro’s grip on the door handle tightened.
‘Why did I do that?!’
Zoro thought, questioning himself.
Zoro felt overwhelmed and decided he needed a drink.
————————————- ⚔️✨ ————————————
Night fell as you slept peacefully for what you predicted was at least a few hours. The abrupt sound of breakage and shouting, hearing unfamiliar voices was what woke you from your slumber. Opening your eyes without letting yourself blink out the sleep, your adrenaline kicked in as you rushed out of bed and grabbed your sword. You slammed the door open, letting it hit the wall behind as you ran out to the deck to see the commotion. What you could only describe the scene unfolding in front of you was chaos; the Sunny had been invaded by pirates! You could see your crew scattered around fighting against the invaders, noticing one of the sails was set on fire that lit the ship in the darkness of the night.
“Oh my god.” You whispered under your breath amongst the sounds of clashes and scrapes of weapons.
Taking a quick breath, you lunged with your sword at a group of unsuspecting pirates quickly bringing them down. You felt the floor vibrate behind you from the sound of running, whipping behind you to see you were almost about to be jumped by another group of pirates until Luffy swung his stretched leg to kick them off the ship into the sea. You looked up to see your captain swinging across the ship like a monkey, truly living up to his name.
As you scanned over the rest of the ship, you saw your crew were holding their own fights until you noticed Chopper was struggling to hold his against another group of pirates. You ran towards him, shouting for him to duck as you slashed the pirates across their chests, dropping one by one to the floor. You quickly glanced down at Chopper to see he was alright, he looked shaken up with tears in his eyes filled with appreciation. Just as you were about to grab him and take him to safety, another pirate walked into your vision.
“Go Chopper, I’ve got this.”
You quickly signaled Chopper to leave as you readied yourself, the young doctor not needing to be told twice as he ran to safety.
Bringing your attention to the pirate who now stood a few feet away in front of you, you noticed he was well kept for a pirate compared to others you had met before. You couldn’t deny he was handsome, his black hair kept short, his strength illuminated through the strong body covered in fine, expensive silk. You didn’t let that distract you as you felt his dark energy practically seeping from him. He held a large, bejeweled royal blue sword in his right hand.
‘Why did he seem so familiar?’
You readied yourself, your sword held strong in your grip. You weren’t going to let him hurt anyone.
“Angel, it doesn’t have to be this way. After all, I’m only here to claim what's mine.” His deep voice resonated out as he grinned.
“Don’t fucking call me angel, who are you?” You angrily bit back as you pointed your sword at him.
“I’m Enver…we’ve met before but you don’t seem to remember me.”
“Why are you here?” You eyed him suspiciously, scouring your memory to try to pinpoint where you could have supposedly met him with no luck.
“Why, I’m here for you.” His voice exhumed confidence. You tried to swallow your anxiety down, feeling acid lodged in your throat and your heart beating faster than it ever had before.
“What do you want with me?” You cautiously persisted, trying to keep your voice from breaking.
He chuckled darkly before taking a step forward and leaning in to face you at your level.
“To be mine.”

Ko-fi prompt from Zarz:
Not sure if this is the type of question you're interested in, but if you are: My state has a cool energy efficiency program called Focus on Energy that sends people free LEDs and smart power strips, offers rebates for solar arrays, has discounts on smart thermostats, and runs various other programs to encourage saving energy. They advertise that the program saves over $4 for every dollar spent. Saving energy is great for the planet, but I'm curious how it also results in four-fold economic savings (and how in the world one would even begin to calculate an exact dollar amount for that).
So as a disclaimer, I have taken nearly a year to write this. It's not that the topic isn't interesting, it's just... really hard to research. But here's what I've got.
This is the sort of thing that is based on two kinds of evidence:
evidence of past cases where such a thing could be recorded and estimated
projected values based on estimates that come only from highly-controlled testing, but are only really 'in theory' so far
Solar panels are really popular right now, so we have a lot of case studies to look at. We also, at least in the US, have a pretty rigid utilities sector with near monopolistic control over pricing and access. Utilities in most places are, to my knowledge, negotiated by the local government, and then run privately.
But the first step to figuring out if a claim like you've heard up there is legitimate is to figure out what the base price of these things is.
I'll use Nassau County, New York, as an example, since it's nearby.
On average, Nassau County, NY residents spend about $245 per month on electricity. That adds up to $2,940 per year. That’s 35% higher than the national average electric bill of $2,179. The average electric rates in Nassau County, NY cost 24 ¢/kilowatt-hour (kWh), so that means that the average electricity customer in Nassau County, NY is using 1,041 kWh of electricity per month, and 12,492 kWh over the course of the year. Source: Energy Sage (link)
$245/month is our standard here for electricity on a 'standard' plan.
Let's assume we have no unexpected costs to cover in the first year, like hail damage or wildfire smoke. We just have the panels themselves and the installation costs.
This website, Solar Reviews, says the average cost after the federal tax credit is $11,500 - $14,056. Their cheapest estimate is the 4kw system, which is $9,322, but they say that the 6kw system is 'typical,' so we'll go with that, which is avg $12,778.
According to ecowatch:
On average, a 6 kW system will produce roughly 750 kilowatt-hours (kWhs) of electricity per month, or between 8,000 and 10,000 kWhs a year. (link)
New York has much less sunlight than a place like Arizona, so that's about 8,000 kWhs per year. It's about two-thirds of the amount of electricity the average resident of this county uses, meaning it covers about $2000 of electricity spending per year.
So, the average resident does not save money by installing solar panels of this size until they've had them for six years or so, and that's only if there aren't any major repairs. A resident with a really, really big expenditure and roof size, like a big box store, might see a greater return on investment since they'd be able to buy the panels themselves in bulk.
...but, that's without state or local rebate programs and the like. It might take less time for you to pay off the solar panels if you have those to rely on. That said, this Forbes article actually gives a higher estimate for using ROI to pay off the panels than I did, so it really falls into 'long term returns.'
(You can also manage to fuel an electric vehicle using just your solar panels, if you've got the money for one of those.)

Season Appearance: 1, 5, 8
Character informations:
[before I said anything, I'd like to inform you that the "season" that I'd be talking about is me trying to refer the timeline. But could aslo be referred as some episode or additional episodes]
Born: 1970
Her nickname is Maddie or Max. Simply because her friends at school and outside work, also her family called her Max! while mostly her colleagues called her Maddie. She also goes with Maddie for Lisa and Rachel. Getting called Dr. Maddox at clinic and counseling hour; rather than Dr. Jagajiva.
Education and Employment:
Finished residency and neuro-opthalmology fellowship in 2001 (both at Wills Eye Hos.)
Appears only in a few episodes on those seasons for reasons: a. having DDx for psychosomatic case and any case when neuro-opthalmology was needed (season 1), b. helping PPTH's oncology department out of her interest in ocular oncology (season 5), c. having a research/project in a topic for ocular oncology and referring Wilson as her 1st/main advisor (season 8, counted as after House got the car to Cuddy's house), d. Flirts with Cuddy (whole)
Out of PPTH from after season 1 and before season 5; to have a degree of Master of Arts in Christisn Counseling. The first encounter with House after jail was at the middle of season 8; by House teasing her of having studied in christian studies, not knowing how could House know about it, because she basically just ran away from PPTH. House didn't even mention anything about it in Season 5; he's just "joking" about her should join Chase to finish seminary in s5. But then she knew later in late late about to the end of season 8, Cuddy told her that it could be possibly Lucas.
Meanwhile— She's having a fellowship in ocular oncology at the end of season 5 until after lucasxcuddy thing.
Her role in PPTH was as one of a few opthalmologist; doesn't want to have the head of department role because then she couldn't go as free as long as far as she wants.
Health condition:
Sjögren Syndrome, results in having only one eye that could be used for sighting while the other is having black-grey visions, as if having no vision catched at all. She could use a transplant but choses not to. For that, sometimes House would tease her with a few fingers up beside her unworkable eye side and asked her how much finger he got up. She's also bad in pain management but wouldn't having drugs because she could only swallow small SMALL tablet, otherwise then SMASH IT. Also, she's photosensitive but she can managed that (sometimes it was psychosomatic).
Much much information of her:
Did I say she's Asian? Well— Yeah... She is.
Tea lover and coffee enjoyer. At times, she would make herself and drink both tea and coffee in one cup.
She's ambidextrous, mainly using right hand for writing and left hand for things. Plays ukulele and percussions, and alto singer in choir.
Has ADHD and OCD (and doesn't want to confront people about her conditions or would just subtly spoken to them if they manage to bother her), easy to cut people off but hardly forget what they did. That being said, she would just brush it off if someone teasing her about her "perfectionistic" thing.
Was once trained in Karate when she's in high school; never getting back to it since then.
Additional Plot Informations:
Whenever House mildly or severely teasing or debating her about being perfectionist-but-unrestrained, about her being counselor, her faith; it's either she's just giving subtly remarks and brush it off or having Cuddy to do the debating part.
House sometimes called her Mad Dog; while Maddie would then said Mad Doctor or Mad Scientist (yeah, she's referring to Dr. Cockroaches). Also has "Mad Max" as one of her nicknames.
If anything— Wilson teased her for having crush in Cuddy. Thirteen has joined in the course to tease her.
Having "one eye - one leg" convo with House.
She has the basics from calvinist ⛪💒. She's having fun when House, Wilson, Cuddy, and Chase are having a beef about religion/beliefs thing with their patients.
Despite all that convo of House and Cuddy bickering at each other, she would find a smooth sentences to flirts with Cuddy. It was so subtle that sometimes Cuddy would stop whatever she's doing and acknowledge the "smart move". Otherwise, she's just having those broken hearts scenes in movie while in season 7. Non canonical episode or story, she's getting together with Cuddy in season 8. Wilson warned her if IF there's a possibility of House trying to get to know what happened to Cuddy; but somehow Maddie and Wilson would just brushed it off. House has never audibly asked her how's Cuddy doing, and when their eyes met in hallways, she would just gave him a nod.
Maddie as Lisa's Lover:
Doesn't go to House's "funeral", but when she knew Wilson was missing despite of him having only "a few months" to live... she's just hoping the happiest for both Wilson and House.
Also a gamer, mostly for Action RPG. She plays the game series of Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Dynasty Warriors since the first time the games were came out. She plays multiplayer games with Rachel Cuddy, having Lisa provides them with snacks and would feeding them the foods if she wasn't working on her own.
Enjoys reading bedtime stories with Rachel and Lisa. Sometimes, they would taking turns on who's the one who tells the story.
Her shift is mostly afternoon about to the middle of the night, so she could took Lisa and Rachel to their workplace/school. While she couldn't go home together, she could still having the time for bedtime together.
Still enjoys flirting subtly to Lisa. Sometimes she would just ask Rachel to say to her Mom what Maddie wants to say to Lisa.
Despite being the one who flirts regularly, she would just becoming a tomato every time Lisa was getting her back at flirting.
Is a little spoon.
Both of them enjoyed cooking; it came down to Rachel.
Physical Appearance:
5'3" tall (looks like having broad shoulders, but she actually isn't), black waist-long hair (either always in french/dutch braid, or getting hair bun with hairstick), brown-grey eyes, "honey" brown skin tone, impaired eye is covered with somekind of washable medical mask-like eyepatch for daily use, wears glasses with clear lense for an eye while the impaired one is getting black lense (in the same glasses) if wasn't wearing eyepatch, for regular medical or christian counseling then she wears docmart/maryjane-trousers-shirt-vest-tie (in windsor or christensen knot) also with a doctor coat (medical) or blazer (christian), mostly either wears sleeveless top with long pants/skirt or sleeves top with short pants for daily, fashion/outfit color code are earth, forrest, and monochrome (mainly dark colors).
Disclaimer: (omg I was too late for this)
I'm making this fancanon while trying both realistically and inaccurately, simply for fictional purposes. People in medical/hospital area would obviously know that I'd be wrong (bcs basically I'm not coming from that area).

Out of context + Production change + Creators freaking out !
HELLO KOW FANS!!! How are you???
For this weekend's updates we have great news! I managed to finish the 17 sketches of the first scene of KoW (that giant that tells the backstory of the emergence of kings who grant wishes, for those out of date)... YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Unlike last week, I won't be showing the comics here, instead I'm presenting them "out of context"!
I'll throw some random images here, and on the day the Comic comes out, you guys try to come back here and try to see where I fit each reference!
Ready?
Set?
GOOOOO!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(throw the images there and run away, good luck understanding them)
Still talking about Comic, I had already mentioned that this is my first time working on a big project. I don't really know how to do things, I just know that I must do them and reach a result that the team and I consider satisfactory.
With that in mind, I was studying some creative processes and came across that of the great director Hayao Miyazaki .
I believe many of you know him, the internet hasn't stopped talking about him since "The Boy and The Heron" won the Oscar for best animation, besides @annymation already mentioned it in her fanfic, but in case anyone is new and doesn't know him, he is one of the biggest names in animation directors in Japan and the world.
Anyway, I discovered that, in his creative process, Hayao Miyazaki began to storyboard his films himself, sometimes without a pre-determined script, he just sat down and sketched out what he wanted or how he visualized the scene happening.
I tried this with a scene I was trying hard to write in my own original story and had a very fun and satisfying result. So, I decided to try to apply this process to making KoW: basically I'm reading the scenes that Anny wrote and trying to capture their essence by sketching as I read. Let's see what happens! Something tells me that this will make the Comic production process lighter and more fun for me, and that's a good thing considering that busy days are coming in my life (good busy days) !
However, this does not mean that the process will speed up. No. It may still be a little slow. But it does not matter. Calmly and with smiles, Me, @annymation and @uva124 let's make it happen!
OOOHHHHH ! AND SPEAKING OF SMILES!
I want to share something that made me, Anny and Aled freak out last night!
Yesterday, we were talking about my favorite topic: Aster.
I arrived presenting an idea I had while hiking — for Aster to get a star tattoo on his chest, with the words "Lacaille 8760" naming it.
And then this happened:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(prints taken directly from Anny's cell phone, showing conversations from our rewriting group. enjoy, we don't do this every day!)
So yes.
That's exactly what you're thinking.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
I PRESENT TO YOU.....
THE VISION OF PARADISE !!!! 😍❤️‍🔥
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(throw this and run away because asha is chasing me)
This is it.
To the next.
Kisses full of light and stars!

learning about project management for a few years and then rewatching the Fast & Furious movies has been a trip. let's suspend disbelief and examine this in-universe.
yeah they're great drivers, they love cars, we've all seen it. but that's gotta be like a hobby to these people. the planning that goes into the jobs they pull is insane.
who: know your team, know your target, know your adversary, know your environment. team building is a big enough topic on its own. the target and its defenders need to be identified and characterized to a T, to ensure that their actions remain predictable. that's a lot of recon work. the passersby and local law enforcement need to be understood as well, so you don't end up with unexpected guests. intelligence agencies spend years gathering this kind of data.
what: set clear goals, non-goals, and priorities. what losses are acceptable? what are the criteria for scrub, bailout, contingency, and success? what are the uncertainties in this plan? what can we do about them?
when: selecting a date and time, or knowing how to decide it's go time on the spot. planning travel time accurately and robustly (and in their plans, there's not a lot of wiggle room). how does timing factor into your contingencies? are there other events in your or the target's lives that influence this decision? how's the weather look?
where: studying the lay of the land, the roads, the walkways, the rooftops, the landmarks, the waypoints. seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go, looking for the places only they would know. where is the target likely to move? where will the adversary try to push you? where will you go instead? where will you meet up after? where will you meet up before? where will any handoffs take place?
why: well, usually this comes before the other questions are even raised. but you could still ask, what if new information comes to light during the mission? under what circumstances do we change plans?
and the big one, how:
what does abort look like at any point through the plan?
how will you communicate during the mission?
what physical and human resources are needed?
how will you get in, accomplish the job, and get out?
what happens if someone is captured, injured, killed, disappeared, or otherwise changed during the mission? how do you handle it? how do you know that it's happened? do you continue? do you leave them behind? do you risk everything to get them in the moment?
if someone loses their cool, what do you do?
if a premise of the plan turns out to be inaccurate, do you scrub the mission?
if you abort, will you have a retry window?
if you abort, do you need to clean up or hide?
if someone vanishes and shows up later, how do you handle that, not knowing whether they've turned or been followed?
what do you do in case of equipment malfunction?
do you need to restock/refuel during or after the mission? what risks does this pose?
how will execution of this mission change your standing risk profile afterward? will you be under heavier watch? do you need to flee immediately? do you all hang low locally for six months and meet somewhere preselected? does money need to be laundered? do cars need to be chopped or IDs burned?
and these are just the generic questions that apply to most every mission they run! every plan will have more specific questions to answer. this is several full time jobs' worth of work to prepare, on much longer timelines than they typically have. not to mention the creativity that has to work through the recon process to develop an unpredictable plan! only an artist could come up with some of these shenanigans, and that alone is a valuable skill [ahem, screenwriters].
put simply, these guys could be making just as much money as management consultants as they are as international criminals. unfortunately, the kind of freedom you get working for the man isn't really freedom, nor is the freedom of living on the run.

Every event in our life brings along a change in ourselves and in our everyday routine. Wether small or big.
As aware as I can be about it, I’m always very surprised when I finally manage to notice how many things have changed since the last time I’ve done a reality check. And often the differences I find really amuse me.
The last time it happened it was shortly after I moved to study, all “fault” of a colleague I became friends with.
She’s a girl I really get along with and with whom I share many interests. A topic she’s quite informed about is ADHD.
As time went by she began paying attention to some behaviours of mine, until she said: “You know, you probably have ADHD”.
Groundbreaking discovery!
Now me and her have fun finding always new behaviours to add to the list of “symptoms”. The more elemnts that come up, the more I realize that I may be a textbook case. (I’m available for eventual studies — as a student, paid only, please).
I find that absolutely hilarious, it’s almost becoming a meme; moreover, knowing about this possible condition of mine helps me to understand different sides of me and several present and past events in my life, for instance the problems in school because “the student is lazy and doesn’t study”.
Now the afternoons spent sitting down, “trying to study” because I couldn’t focus make sense. Or the millions (not quite a hyperbole) of projects started and hardly finished because I didn’t have enough time anymore.
The only thing I have to make peace with is that I often try to live the day the way a neurotypical would, which, with these premises, isn’t exactly feasible for me. I’m punctually disappointed by my being unable to carry out tasks the way I “should”.
Help.

SRP Sunday Studies - Lauryn Hill: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998)
The 1998 studio album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was the only music project to be released by fellow Fugees member Lauryn Hill.
Tumblr media
Before the album's release, Lauryn attended Columbia High School with classmate, actor Zach Braff, and partaken in extracurricular activities in sports and performing arts. During that time, she began her acting career by starring in films and television such as As the World Turns, King of the Hill, and Sister Act 2.
Lauryn was approached by Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel to form the hip-hop trio, The Fugees, and began recording their 1994 debut album Blunted on Reality. While it did manage to display hip-hop and R&B stylings in the production mix, it did not meet the standards critically and commercially, peaking at number 64 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.
Following the breakout success of their sophomore album The Score, Lauryn ran into some disagreements and clashes with her fellow bandmates before departing the group. After getting married to Jamaican-American entrepreneur Rohan Marley and the pregnancy of her first child, Zion Marley, she began working on her first project heavily inspired by the 1933 Carter Woodson book, The Miseducation of the Negro.
Tumblr media
On August 19th 1998, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was released under Ruffhouse and Columbia Records, an R&B and hip-hop album discovering the concepts of love, breakups, feminism, nostalgia and religion as we, the listeners, educate ourselves in those contexts in great detail.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next, most of the creative output was done by Lauryn Hill as she wrote and produced fifteen out of sixteen tracks made for the project, with the exception of the Frankie Valli 60s love song Can't Take My Eyes off You, reworked as an R&B-tinged jam. In this case, some songs like Lost Ones and Ex-Factor show great examples of crossing over between the hip-hop and R&B music genres respectively without doing too much of it.

Lyrically, Lost Ones is regarded as a diss track towards Fugees' bandmates Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel; a recurring scheme that eventually appears in other tracks on the album, such as the reggae-inflicted Forgive Them Father. In contrast, anthems like To Zion, Everything is Everything and Every Ghetto, Every City dive into the topics of youth culture, spirituality and recollection while examining the additional music elements of funk, Latin and classical music, the second of which demonstrated the guitar melodies from Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana.
Tumblr media
Putting together the tenacious hip-hop production with sultry R&B elements and Lauryn's spunky and heartfelt sung/rapped vocal projection, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill spawned numerous accolades after the album's release, including Best Album of the Year at the 41st Grammy Awards in 1999.
youtube
The album also sought future inspiration from female artists including Beyoncé, Adele, SZA and Ella Mai. Coincidentally, Beyoncé's Lemonade (which captured the ingenuity of Miseducation) came out in April 2016 and followed the concept of black feminism by incorporating R&B, soul and reggae music into the production with each song exploring the Kübler-Ross model.
In spite of her personal and professional struggles since the album's success, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is Lauryn Hill's only studio album to be produced under her recording contract with Sony BMG. In 2002, Lauryn released her Unplugged album and received mixed reviews from music critics, with some dividing the artistic directions of its folk-oriented composition and self-centred live performances.
Tumblr media
To sum up, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is one of those timeless hip-hop classic albums to make a foray into the female rap community amongst the male-dominated group that was once popularized by women rappers of the time. It also exhibited Hill's outstanding singing and rapping prowess on one track after the next whilst putting her creative freedom in the music composition, blending R&B and soul music, with hip-hop, Latin and disco elements throughout.

Question for G :)) how was your fanauthor workshop experience? I don't know if I should apply it sounds interesting but at the same time almost no reviews or whatsoever. Thank you!
well I ended up doing it a second time, so I'd say it was pretty damn good! I think the reason there are "no reviews" is mostly due to tumblr's format not really lending itself to that? @fanauthorworkshop isn't marketing itself as a product so much as a pedagogical (educational) extension of the existing fandom gift economy—an exchange where you both learn stuff and share/teach stuff!
this answer is mildly off-podcast-topic and it's gonna get super long and wordy, so it's under a cut lol you're welcome
my Fanauthor Workshop experience
personally, I found the FAW perfect for me. I was at the point in my fic writing where I was getting some lovely comments and glowing praise, but also wishing the world in general took fanfiction more seriously, as a craft to be practiced and discussed, something with both intrinsic and literary merit. @bettsfic's first episode as a guest on Fansplaining really resonated with me and kind of spoke to that desire (it's a must-listen for anyone on the fence about applying to the FAW!!)
but I had never studied creative writing at a university level, and barely knew what a crit letter was. I found the FAW was the perfect way to learn that sort of thing in a low-stress environment! I didn't struggle with feelings of burdensome obligation the way I had with schoolwork; rather I was excited to read everyone else's writing and see what it had to teach me. I also loved having an appropriate venue to air all my writing opinions, lol. I found I was so motivated that I managed to attend every FAW session even though it conflicted with family vacations two years in a row. I wrote crit letters from the lobby of a restaurant in a national park because it was the only place with wifi. I even Zoomed into one session from a random public library in Durango, where I managed to alarm everyone else in the irl vicinity with my enthusiastic discussion of fictional cannibalism (shoutout to the story we workshopped that day, it SLAPPED.)
personally, I approached the FAW with the very specific goal of Having Fun first and letting the writing stuff come second (ie, not putting too much pressure on myself when it came to choosing and polishing my own workshop pieces, and not worrying too much about how they were received.) I still ended up getting some AMAZING critiques and responses to my two (very different) pieces—I was deeply impressed by everyone's insights, how much they were able to pick up on, and how willing they were to meet me at my level. the other pieces we workshopped ranged all over the place in technical ability, from "giohvnsksbnf this writing is so good I'm gonna fucking eat glass" to "this person is clearly just starting out as a writer, but even if their prose has some technical mistakes, their story has Good Bones and their critiques and discussion observations have been spot on."
my big secondary goal was to Make Friends and there I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. I now have SO many cool FAW mutuals, a few of which I have hung out with IRL and the rest of which I totally WOULD hang out with IRL if given the opportunity. they're all uniquely creative and clever people who I probably wouldn't have met otherwise, so that's kind of the biggest Win for me. it's so cool knowing I have all these people I could DM out of the blue and be like "hey, would you mind looking over this short story/beta-ing this fic chapter?" and end up with some great insights. there's also an FAW Discord where anyone can kind of bring fandom- and writing-related questions to the floor, as well as share recs and self-promote projects (or in my case, recruit podcast guests who I know have been pre-screened for both their chill lack of pearl-clutching and their basic fiction-analyzing skills, lol.)
I would recommend the Fanauthor Workshop if:
you're a self-taught writer who's done most of your learning in the fanfiction space and you're curious about how writing is actually taught in academic settings
alternatively, you're a writer from an academic background who chafes at some of the more restrictive rules in traditional workshops/you're tired of the irl Guy in Your MFA -types who refuse to or can't engage with your work on its level
you're ok with doing some "homework" (writing two crit letters per week) on the honor system
you're down to read original work in a wide variety of genres/read fic from fandoms you're not in (maybe even fandoms/pairings/characters you don't personally like)
you like what you read in @oficmag
you wish fanfiction was taken more seriously as a craft
your favorite trad-published writers all seem to be workshop alumni (eg: I swear half of my favorite writers are Clarion grads)
you have work you'd like to publish and/or submit someday but you're not sure if it's ready/not sure where to start
you follow writing advice blogs or send them asks
you wish people would leave "concrit" (constructive criticism) on your fics
you wish people would leave concrit on your fics but you're worried they might be too mean or not "get" your work
you wish people would analyze your work and give critique without letting their personal value judgments get in the way (and you're ready to do the same in turn)
you worry your work is too niche, kinky, queer, romance-focused, or "weird" for a traditional workshop (note: but it doesn't have to be any of these things. people also workshopped gen and the equivalent of coffee shop AUs!)
you'd like to hear perspectives that don't come from cishet dudes
you enjoy Class Participation and discussions (or maybe you're no longer a student and miss that kind of thing!)
you think @bettsfic seems like a good teacher (spoiler: she REALLY is)
you like the idea of a creative writing class with no grades or possibility of "failure"
you'd like to meet people you probably wouldn't meet in any other setting, and make some cool friends from other fandoms
if even a couple of these bullet points sound like you, you'd probably get a lot out of the FAW!! I hope the next session of FAW-ers have a blast. I'll be lurkin the Discord rooting for y'all

Understanding Smart Water Metering: A Comprehensive Guide
Tumblr media
Smart water metering is revolutionizing how individuals, businesses, and municipalities manage water usage. With its advanced technology, it provides real-time data, improves efficiency, and promotes sustainable water consumption practices. This blog delves into the essentials of smart water metering, covering critical topics, challenges, step-by-step implementation, a real-life case study, and a concluding overview.
What is Smart Water Metering?
Smart water metering refers to the use of advanced metering systems that monitor water consumption in real-time and transmit data to consumers and service providers. Unlike traditional water meters, smart meters are equipped with wireless communication technologies, offering a more interactive and efficient water management system.
Unique Topics Everyone Should Know About Smart Water Metering
1. How Smart Water Meters Work
Smart water meters rely on sensors and communication networks to collect and transmit data. These meters often use IoT (Internet of Things) technology, connecting them to centralized data systems for seamless operation.
Key Features:
Real-time monitoring
Leak detection
Usage analytics
2. Benefits of Smart Water Metering
Smart water metering offers multiple advantages:
Enhanced Accuracy: Reduces billing errors.
Water Conservation: Identifies wasteful practices.
Convenience: Provides users with detailed consumption reports.
Cost Savings: Promotes efficient water use, lowering bills.
3. Applications of Smart Water Meters
Smart water meters are used across various sectors:
Residential Areas: Encouraging homeowners to adopt water-saving habits.
Commercial Buildings: Monitoring high water usage.
Municipal Systems: Managing city-wide water distribution.
Challenges in Smart Water Metering
While smart water metering presents many benefits, it also has challenges:
1. High Initial Investment
The cost of installing smart meters can be prohibitive, especially for large-scale projects.

Since smart meters rely on digital communication, they are susceptible to cyber threats.
3. Infrastructure Requirements
Implementing smart water meters requires robust communication networks and integration with existing systems.
4. Resistance to Change
Some users may resist transitioning from traditional meters due to unfamiliarity or skepticism.
Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Smart Water Metering
Step 1: Assess Requirements
Evaluate the specific needs of the property or area. Consider water usage patterns and infrastructure compatibility.
Step 2: Choose the Right Technology
Select smart water meters that align with your objectives, such as those offering real-time analytics or advanced leak detection.
Step 3: Plan the Deployment
Create a comprehensive plan outlining the installation process, data management protocols, and training requirements.
Step 4: Install and Integrate
Install the smart water meters and integrate them with your existing water management systems.
Step 5: Monitor and Optimize
Regularly monitor the performance of the smart meters and optimize their settings to maximize efficiency.
Case Study: Smart Water Metering in Urban Communities
Background
A mid-sized city faced challenges with water waste and inaccurate billing due to outdated water meters. The local government decided to implement smart water metering across residential and commercial zones.
Implementation
Conducted a city-wide assessment to identify high-priority areas.
Chose smart meters with real-time data transmission and leak detection capabilities.
Trained staff and launched an awareness campaign to educate residents.
Results
Reduction in Water Waste: Decreased water loss by 25% within the first year.
Improved Billing Accuracy: Resolved 90% of previous billing disputes.
Enhanced User Engagement: Residents actively monitored and reduced their water usage.
Conclusion
Smart water metering represents a significant step toward efficient and sustainable water management. By providing real-time insights, reducing waste, and promoting conservation, it benefits individuals, businesses, and municipalities alike. Despite initial challenges such as cost and infrastructure needs, the long-term advantages outweigh the hurdles. Adopting smart water metering not only ensures better resource management but also fosters a culture of accountability and sustainability.
Whether you are a homeowner looking to monitor your water usage or a city planner aiming to optimize municipal water distribution, smart water metering is the future of water management. Start exploring your options today to make a difference for tomorrow.
By implementing the concepts discussed, leveraging the step-by-step guide, and learning from successful case studies, you can effectively embrace the revolution of smart water metering. Together, we can work towards a smarter and more sustainable future.

hello! welcome to my blog!
💙 support my projects on ko-fi or patreon!
💙 send things here (i answer more on bluesky)!
✨🌹🌻 [coming soon] 🌼🌷✨
💙 my art tag: "#anfey care"!
💙 other links: ✨ here ✨
MY MOST IMPORTANT RAMBLINGS
🖤 i don't believe in concepts like "ugly" and "dumb"
🖤 i'm against generative A.I.s and N.F.T.s
🖤 i don't allow reuploads, only reblogs of my posts
Tumblr media
i'm Anfey Care, a queer non-binary artist and writer! i go by gender neutral words only (as for pronouns: "they/them" — "ê/elu/-e" in portuguese)
i enjoy art and science. i'm a fan of lots of things, specially Undertale, Dead Plate, Married in Red, Cold Front, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Omori, and Adventure Time! i'm brazilian, too. you're welcome to follow me if you enjoy:
art, pixel art, animation;
books, comics, mangas;
cuteness, horror, comedy;
games, music;
indie, alternative things;
queer, LGBT+, gay stuff;
shows, cartoons, animes;
thought-provoking stuff;
nerdy things in general!
i'm fairly silly, quite gay, and very nerd!
nice to meet ya!
( ^ ꒳ ^ ) [cute face smiling*]
(*i can use text in brackets like this to describe text emojis for screen readers; similarly, i can use text in brackets preceded by a slash as tone indicators, such as: [/silly] )
🐾 ooo, look! you found a boop post! 🐾
Tumblr media
💙✨ about me: ✨
besides being a silly gay queer nerd artist and writer, i'm atypical, a furry, a fan-enby of a bunch of characters, an adult and a game dev. i'm an introverted, shy, and asocial person. somewhat antisocial too; sometimes i can be completely silent and spend weeks alone when too overwhelmed from socialization. (i'm INFP and pisces, but i don't take these seriously, although i can relate at times)
i'm completely atheist. i don't mind religion, even if i might take it as stories and thoughts, but i just don't mind as long as it isn't fanatic christian stuff — i was raised around these people and it got me very tired of those things.
i graduated on a game development technical course i took along with high school (public education, got in through an entrance exam, got in first place on the classification list), and i'm often studying things on my own, like languages. i draw, design, paint, conceptualize, illustrate, make pixel art, research, edit, write, and can animate and code too — sometimes i also try music, acting, photography, and cosplay. i'm still working on being an indie game dev; for now, i'm mainly an artist and writer
as for how i identify as LGBT+, i'm queer as in all pan a-spec atractions-wise. gender-wise, i identify as pangender, which in my case includes agender; i'm transneutral and non-binary (and — it's obvious but just to mention — gender non-conforming). i usually put it all in short by just saying i'm a queer enby, or a pan a-spec enby, but i don't shy away from just saying i'm gay (as in i'm definitely not straight)
as an enby, i'm also dionysian (more often known as diamoric), and any kind of relationship with me would be called this — 'cause they'd have an enby (me) in them. you could call me almost anything from the LGBTQ+ definitions and that'd still be almost fitting, but if you were to call me something accurately fitting, that's queer, pan a-spec, diamoric/dionysian and enby, heheh
i could be considered legally blind, as i can't see anything a few inches away from my face without glasses (8 degrees in each lens, but i've been needing a new prescription for some years... couldn't afford it yet). i suspect i might be neurodivergent (ADHD, ASPD and autistic, mainly), and i have lots of symptoms of depression, anxiety and C-PTSD, but also can't afford to look into those. (funny fact: i managed to get in a psychology college earlier in 2024, and for a good while was studying psychology there before even being able to go see a psychologist-) (i still do deep researches about those topics of mental health)
from the way i understand relationships and concepts related to it and to living in society — understandings that have some connections to my pan a-spec (includes asocial) pangender agender way of being —, i'm also non-monogamous in attractions and beliefs. i could be either in a monogamous or non-monogamous relationships romantically, though. i'd do fine in any, i can adapt quite well to who i love and/or like and care about! it could even be an undefined relationship — it all would be up to who i'd be with. (i'd develop an attachment, and even a hyperfixation on them, too, which would make it even easier for me to adapt,,, anyways-)
i know spanish and french, besides portuguese and english. i don't have a lot of practice with those other two languages, but i can understand them well (speaking portuguese helps, heh). i still want to learn more languages — for now, i'm also studying japanese, LIBRAS and ASL from time to time
i aim for diversity, inclusion and equity, specially for my games. that's a reason why i study a lot, and that's also why i want to make most of my creations available for free. and that's why i encourage you to give me support if you want, as it helps it all to be free of charge, and can give you a custom art or some cool extra things for a low tip!
i'm interested in:
Undertale;
Rot in Paradise;
Dead Plate;
Married in Red;
Elevator Hitch;
Cold Front;
Bittersweet Sentence;
Eloquent Countenance;
The Picture of Dorian Gray;
The Owl House;
Omori;
Revolutionary Girl Utena;
Deltarune;
Dracula;
Adventure Time;
She-ra and the Princesses of Power;
KinitoPET;
My Little Pony;
Sonic;
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared;
Welcome Home;
Puella Magi Madoka Magica;
Studio Investigrave in general;
and the Daycare attendant from FNAF
i also like to roleplay/perform as characters at times, and used to play D&D, besides liking the RPG genre in videogames itself
as you see, i'm all over the place — i'm not completely organized, and i allow myself to let some things be messy (like tags); it's what works best for me, as far as i noticed
i like lots of things! and, though i enjoy horror, i don't make much art of this kind. plus, i create original stories, art, and characters of my own, like Safey — they're my mascot persona, and they're the fox creature on the pixel art by the start of this blog post. i have a bunch of projects i develop on my own, including ideas of comics and games! and sometimes i write poems, generally in portuguese, but i mix languages and write in english at times
i usually make cute things! whenever i happen to make something scary or with sensitive topics, i let it with the warnings i think it needs. personally, i'm positive about NSFW topics, specially sexual-related ones, in regular conditions. however, i very rarely allude to NSFW — if anything, it can be there as subtext, if i ever even include anything like that at all. to my mind, these are not NSFW, but either way: i do enjoy artistic nude art, i do like philosophically/sociologically/literarily analytical thoughts and texts that could be about/related to sexual topics, and i also do like (well, you know) horror. i take a different approach on my own art that's around these, but you can avoid it if i ever make it due to the warnings, and i hope you will use the warnings' opportunity to avoid it if you're sensitive or just don't want to see it.
overall, specially for other people like me, i want my space to be a safe space
Undertale, Dead Plate, and Married in Red are my most favorite pieces of media, so i'm drawn towards them most of the time. for the characters in those respectively, Flowey and Sans, Vincent, and Bok-su are my favorites (i know, they're the popular ones... sorry, heh, i genuinely love them)
nice to meet you, and i hope you will like what i create!
thanks for reading!
see ya! ( ^ ꒳ ^ ) [cute face smiling]
