Hey guuuuuys
As a heads up, I'm going to be converting this blog to be mostly my main/pokemon blog. I've been thinking about it for a while tbh and when it comes down to it, I've been feeling a huge disconnect from selfshipping as a whole for a while. It was nice and a great way for me to cope before I was able to get mental health care, but it's definitely more of a hobby now more than anything. Don't get me wrong, I still love my funky little gals and guys and it's fun to think about them in different scenarios! I'm still going to always lose my shit over Piers! But honestly? All of my "inserts" have basically come into their own, if that makes sense. They are not me. They may share a name with me sometimes but that's definitely an OC, that and I'm too lazy to rename the various Mandas and Jeannes across franchises cause that shit is a lot of work. And besides, literally everyone who has made a character has put some of themself into it and I know that I'm not wrong--
Now, what does this mean for me/the blog?
I'm still gonna post how I feel like posting. Things are going to be a lot less selfship focused. If anything, I'm leaning more on the side of oc x canon and oc x oc cause that's where I'm finding more enjoyment. No more fancy carrd with f/os and all that happy stuff, it's just going to be an about. No long ass dni honestly who the hell even takes the time to read them anymore (I mean, I do, but not the point I'm trying to make here). Granted my dni was never long in the first place but kgjwjdjejejjfayhs still. I'm still deciding if I'm going to go through the blogs I follow and trim things up. If I unfollow you, by no means is it anything against you and there are no hard feelings on my end. And if you'd like to unfollow me due to my focus shift, I encourage that.
Honestly over all, I haven't had a lot of energy to be publicly online in a while, anyway. It's what happens when you work full time, go to school part time, and have some mental disorders and a chronic illness that's been fucking you over since you were 2. The burnout is real lmao. I'd rather enjoy myself when I'm on tumblr than be all bleh, ya know?
I mean this when I say I did enjoy my time when I was selfship focused, but I think that part of my life is... Not quite behind me, but not a major part of my future anymore. In some aspects, it made my mental health worse, if I'm being honest, and I should have never let it get to that point. Granted that was before I was able to get diagnosed and start my mental health journey, but still. Should have stopped as soon as I felt myself not doing okay. I'm not going to dumb down or sugar coat myself anymore (granted I haven't been for a while but eh is what it is). I'm probably going to be leaving most servers I've been a part of and clean up my discord as well.
I'll still post self ship stuff here occasionally cause I mean, c'mon it's my blog I can do whatever the hell I want with it forever.
But I do think it's time to finally start finishing up this chapter. I'll forever and always be Amanda Pierswife though, you can pry this url from my cold, dead hands <3

I got a funny video idea-
But I'm going to have to voice act it because there's no scene of it-
@weirdsillycreature bro you'll like it, it's goofy✨
The text people and their colors: (because I'm lazy)
Hunter
June
Beast
Jett
Anyway here's the comic idea I'm gonna voice act:
So it like the gang ex is walking and see jett on the public BUT instead of just jumping at him hunter got a better idea, he'll turn to the gang and like
Yo wait! I gotta better idea..embarrassing moments is a very used and effective torture for people if it cause in public, now watch this~
Then hunter go near(not too near) and it go like this
Hey jett!! Gayguysaywhat-
Hunter? Hey-
What?
And that would be the moment, that hunter realized, he just blow it up on him instead XD
He'll be like turn to others and they like
"Knew it lol - w-"📃
:0
And hunter just go level mad since he accidentally embarrass himself instead lmao
Yeah-
Idk when I'll do this but eh lol

Last song: "by the suzhou river" by shanghai restoration project, which is a gorge electronica cover of a traditional chinese folk song, v v dreamy + romantic
Favorite color: the real answer is "iridescent" but the actual color answer is mint green + pink, always and forever
Currently watching: honestly kind of burnt out on the entirety of Streaming for a while, at some point i will check out gomens s2 but...eh. last thing i watched was the red white and royal blue movie which was cute.
Currently reading: literally just finished both winter's orbit + ocean's echo by everina maxwell over the past two days. they were well written and lovely and romantic but i especially thought ocean's echo needed approx. 300000x more kinky fuckery with its premise lmao. how you gonna give me a mind control/mind meld conceit and not use it for problematic sexual situations smh.

Y'know i'm a bit proud of where i left off in Maplestory. Joined EUboot years ago and i wanted to be pure solo. Re-building my progress i left off in NAboot but doing it a lot better with my legion/link mules this time and knowing what to do was honestly very satisfying. In NAboot i was too lazy to do anything and it took me years to finally want to grind and build legion/link mules. For the longest time i never even grinded i just did a party quest over and over again until 200... no wait i think that was in Scania but i guess my point still stands. And i also went into guilds and got carries but uh, i don't want to remember my time in guilds...
But originally i wanted to find a new main besides my Pathfinder and Ho Young in NAboot but then i realized that Ho Young is still perfect for me so i stuck to em', with side maining a Kain as well. And after years of grinding i gotten my Kain to 240 and my Ho Young to 260! my biggest achievement in Maplestory! well, next to me getting my first 21* equip by a crazy stroke of luck lmao, barely broke less than 8b to get it iirc, and that was when i wanted to take a long break from Maplestory, will i still go back to it in the future? probably because i really like the new character coming out, but man without totems grinding is gonna be a big chore... Oh well.
...Did i repeat myself again? Eh, whatever.
Though honestly, if i were to somehow improve anything in my art/writing i probably wouldn't play Maplestory again, i really wish for that, tired of going through all the shit Nexon makes me go through.

I'VE BEEN SUMMONED MUAHAHAHA TYSM @nicmares404 !!^^
1.) Are you named after anyone?: Yes, actually! My mom was originally gonna name me, but then my dad changed it and named me after a character from a telenovela he loved watching at the time ^^
2.) When was the last time you cried?: I'm kind of surprised that I don't remember, but I guess sometime last week? The Barbie movie had me tearing up though lol
3.) Do you have kids?: Nope. I'm going to college this Fall so having kids is definitely not on my list anytime soon lmao-
4.) Do you use sarcasm a lot?: Rarely with my siblings and maybe my family, but not really, no.
5.) What's the first thing you notice about people?: Their attitude and body language. This tactic has helped me avoid certain people and overall just helped me survive school lol.
6.) What's your eye color?: Dark brown! Nothing too special there but eh, it is what it is 🤎
7.) Scary movies or happy endings?: It depends if they're good, but I'd say both! If a scary movie HEAVILY relies on pure gore and cheap jumpscares, then it's not a good horror movie (unless you're into that, tho it's not for me personally). It's all about the atmosphere and having a good plot with complex characters! As for happy endings, as long as they're not cheesy or cliché, then I'll like it!
8.) Any special talents?: I don't know if this would be considered a "talent", but I have double jointed fingers (I like to freak out my siblings with it and they call me rake hands 💀). I can also control my goosebumps!
9.) Where were you born?: In a hospital room with my parents, surrounded by doctors and nurses ^^
10.) What are your hobbies?: Drawing, listening to music, writing (when im not being lazy), daydreaming, watching documentaries, and makeup
11.) Do you have any pets?: I have a quite a lot- I have two dogs, a cat, and two goldfish (who I love just as dearly). I also have several cats who hang around outside the house that I take care of, feed, and play with everyday! They're the absolute sweetest (especially the kittens aaa!!!) and they've been around long enough that I'd consider them to be my pets too <33
(^^ photos of some of the sillies in question<33)
12.) What sports do you play/have you played?: When I was around 8-10, I was in an all girl's soccer team! We'd compete locally with other girl soccer teams and we were actually quite good, surprisingly. Although there were some intense and scary moments, it was incredibly fun and we were like a family 💕
13.) How tall are you?: Ehh, I'm not too sure but last time I checked I was 5'3. But that was a few years ago and I've noticeably grown a bit, so I'd guess maybe 5'4 or 5'5 now? I was destined to be short lol-
14.) Fav subject in school?: Omg are you guys ready for this?... It was art class, even tho my high school art teacher never rly taught and just sat at his desk most of the time lmao (I still liked him tho!) No but srly, I rly loved art class bc as much as art is the center of my life so far, it's my ABSOLUTE passion. I rly can't live without it <3
15.) Dream job?: I always struggled with this question when I was younger, but a freelance illustrator! It just seems so fun and suitable for me, especially since I like to manage my own time :>
Hehe get tagged moots💕 (unless you've already been tagged or just don't wanna do this, then I'm sorry- just ignore this!<3)

Are you named after anyone? - Yes, but I don't really feel a connection to my birth name much, so I'd rather talk about my online chosen names!

I made a typo introducing myself ("Gallon") and it stuck 😔<3
When was the last time you cried? - hm, probably a couple weeks ago? I cry when I get hungry lmao
Do you have kids? - This bear flowerpot thingy is my beloved son:
But as for human children, no.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?- unsure if absurd threats of eating furniture in response to Cool Art/Fic count as sarcasm, but if so, yes
What's the first you notice about people? - if they have a Funky Outfit on I'll probably notice that first (and then get too intimidated to talk to them because they're CoolTM)
What's your eye colour? - brown
Scary movies or happy endings? - happy ending sorry I'm a coward
Any special talents? - I play violin, and I'm particularly adept at making typos
Where were you born? - hospital
What are your hobbies? - writing, reading, rug-hooking, cooking/baking, going on walks in nature
Have you got any pets? - yes, this is my beloved fool of a dog Clyde:
What sports do you play/have you played? - none on a team, but I like playing tennis and roller skating
How tall are you? - 5'5" I think?
Favourite subject in school? - used to be English lit, but I'm a sociology/gender studies major now. but I also love Italian despite not being very good at it!
Dream job? - currently looking to go into academia! (scary!) but if I could have any job in the world, it might have to do with marine bio/conservation, or cooking, or writing, or an archivist of some sort, or a forensic entomologist, or someone who Sorts things all day, or-

So I used this website to find which characters/people I have the same personality type as. Some of them are... confusing, to say the least
Me talking about them all under the cut!
Harry Potter: BILL and CHARLIE??? There's gotta be some mistake here, I'm not that cool. Blaise though - I can see that. And I'm happy about it. Harry Potter characters are also all a hit.
Undertale/Deltarune: How... do you assign a personality to a heart? Bob, sure, he's hilarious, Doggo, yep, love him, SUSIE MY BELOVED, I don't really remember who Seam is whoops, but... Yellow Soul. Okay. Overall, this is a hit. Still confused though.

Favorite Shows: SPIKE???????????? This one made me the happiest. He's one of my favorite characters in that show - I'm so not as cool as him though. Chris Kratt just made me happy because I loved that show. Hunter fits me actually super well, wow. And Sir Percival - I haven't actually gotten to where he's introduced in the show, but from what I have seen he's great. So yay, all of these are good!
Hogwarts Mystery: ERIKA! She almost makes up for them sticking me with Jacob (derogatory). I'd much rather be a badass Quidditch bitch than that useless fuck. 1/2 good.
Video Games I Love: HANK FUCKING ANDERSON I LOVE YOU. Okay, now... how do you get a personality from two animatronics that kill you just like the other ones?? Don't get me wrong, Foxy makes me happy and Withered Bonnie is cool too, but huh??? All good though, even if those two don't make sense!
Real People: Jensen Ackles, eh? And Kristen Stewart, damn, the website must think I'm hot as hell. Also how am I half of Fall Out Boy, my favorite band ever?? Can't complain. Sam Golbach - I feel like we're very different, but the more I think about it the more I can see it. I haven't watched anything from him in a long time - guess I know what I'll be doing later! And yeah, Rosemarie, cool. I like that. Real people are all a hit.
Misc Games: I wasn't aware that Diogenes had a name, or a personality, but okay. Protagonist is cool, love him. I haven't kept up with Yandere Simulator, but Nemesis does look really cool so I'm going to be happy about her. Robert... buddy, I wish your ending was better. I was so mad when I immediately went for you and looked up a walkthrough and everything to get stuck with that bullshit. Ellie, sure, she's cool I suppose, and 47 is here because he made me crack up laughing. All in all, these guys are a hit as well!
Shows/Movie I Liked: Beck Oliver, eh, he's kind of an ass, but he is actually really similar to me. Mittens I love, no complaints there! Perry and Vanessa... why does this website think I'm cool? I'm not. 4/4
Shows/Movies I Haven't Watched: I've heard good things about both Bobby and Claire. It also gave me Ruby the demon, don't know why I didn't screenshot her. Nice, we love demons. My dad says Jasper fits me, and my mom says that Salem does, so I guess these all work. (technically I've watched spn but only the first season and years ago so it doesn't count shut up)
Misc Others: Edith is fun. I like her. Max? Eh, I could never be that quiet. It also gave me Charlie from Charlie and Lola, but I don't think it fits so I didn't put him here. Eddie yeah, I'd get super pissed off by Roger too and have my head up my ass, I can see him. Artemis I feel like is a direct attack against my hatred of men and chronic virginity, but she's also a badass so I'll allow it. Mulan - again, I'm not that cool. And Jessica Rabbit - I'm not that hot, but thanks for the ego boost.
#do I tag all the fandoms? will that get me shit?#eh I'm lazy I'm not gonna lmao#about me#istp#personality types#I scrolled through all the pages until the site crashed on my so there might have been more but oh well#this was fun to see though

oHKAY SO
she's an Undertale oc. her name is Fate. she's 11 years old and is a human, but has a monster soul for reasons
she fell into the underground when she was 10, and her soul was still a human one, a soul of patience. she explored for a while and met Gaster, the Royal Scientist at the time. Gaster captured her and took her to the lab and ran experiments on her and her soul, eventually turning her soul into a monster one. idk how because monster souls are made of magic and human ones are made of determination but eh. Gaster can do it and it gives amgst material so I don't care lmao
anyways, so Fate had already been having nightmares LONG before this because of the experiments, but this just made that SO MUCH WORSE LMAO
eventually, Alphys, Gaster's lab assistant, found Fate and basically went "Gaster what the fuck-" Gaster wouldn't let Fate leave, so while Gaster was gone one day, Alphys helped Fate escape. Fate ran off to hide with Sans and Papyrus, who have connections to Gaster that like. nobody knows HOW they're connected to G but they are lmao
(I'm just gonna call him G now bc lazy)
so uh. eventually the monsters break the barrier, a magic forcefield to keep the monsters underground for reasons. (a war (☞ ᐛ )☞) and Fate gets let out, along with G and everyone else. Fate immediately ran off to her friends from before she fell, and G went to do his own thing etc
uh G ended up becoming a nicer person over a few months after getting to the surface, and he met a few of my other ocs, like Meadow and Skyla, who now know G as a good person. Skyla was a grey soul, (basically when your soul is really damaged and it messes with your emotions) and there wasn't anything wrong with Meadow it's just them and G's friendship is wholesome so-
anyways Gaster helped with Skyla's soul (wonder where he got the knowledge /s lmao) and he gave Meadow some extra magic.
Fate ended up crossing paths with G after hearing Meadow and Sky talking about how great G is and how nice he was
obviously Fate didn't like that
so uh
she got v e r y upsetti with G, yelling at him over the nightmares and experiments and her soul and etc. Gaster tried apologizing but Fate didn't care lmao (why would she)
uh
I did a drawing based on it
Fate still sleeps with stuffed animals and tries not to sleep, due to the nightmares. she's gotten used to functioning while being super tired and is severely sleep deprived. her necklace and stuffed animal are comfort items for her. her stuffed animal is a stuffed bunny she got while in the underground.
she is very easy to scare, and make upset/cry. whenever she has nightmares she likes going on walks at night through the woods, because she loves stars and nature and it comforts her. her magic is star shaped ninja star kinda thingys that glow, and a light blue shield (the color of the soul of patience) that's shaped like a flower. and she can teleport. she can only use so much magic a day though, because of how weak her magic is thanks to her soul. she can only teleport twice a day, for example. her star attacks do less damage the more magic she uses, too, and her shield gets weaker.
her hair is SUPER LONK, like down to her knees, and it's super thick and wavy/slightly curly (I wanna braid it)
she also knows how to climb trees.
her necklace is a monster soul. my other oc Rainbow made it for her when she learned about Fate's soul. she'll never tell them how she got the soul. especially not Meadow or Skyla.
I COULD GO ON but this is MUCH so I'll stop here lmao. this is the first time I've infodumped about an oc, I hope you enjoyed lmao
YOOO they all seem really cool!!!
I'm not gonna lie I have very limited knowledge about Undertale but I know enough to know that these OCs seem awesome :^D

What are your predictions for UtE and what do you wish would happen?
Ngl I have no idea what to expect
I still haven't read DoA, which I am planning on doing but haven't gotten around to bc I'm lazy and not very motivated for it, so I have no clue where the storyline (if one can call it that) left off, let alone where it's currently leading lmao
In general, one thing that I do kind of expect to happen and also kind of want to happen - as weird as it sounds - is Dexter's death. He's the last of the dead men still running around apart from Skul and I just think it'd be kind of poetic if all of them had died by the end except for Skulduggery, who's technically been dead the whole time but is now the only one of them still amongst the living.
Another thing that I think is pretty likely but am not so sure if I'd like would be Mevolent coming back again from the eternity gate, though probably just for one dramatic fight rather than becoming an important part of the plot.
Serpine making a return is also pretty likely imo, and chances are good he's gonna play a slightly bigger role (def not smth major tho). Tbh I also expect him to die, worst case but also most probable would be in a one line side sentence like Solomon Wreath or something ridiculous which would suck but eh, I don't rlly expect anything else.
All in all, I don't have very high hopes for Until the End, but I'm definitely not as pessimistic as other people rn. I'm pretty much open for whatever's gonna happen, even if it's shit and doesn't make much sense - as long as I get a couple laughs out of it I'm happy enough.

Thoughts for when you wake up. I also didn't proofread bc I'm sleepy and lazy. Apologies:
Escape Room 1: it was a nice concept! Fresh and fun, I though. Plus, I really love psychological thrillers, so this movie was up my alley. I think the characters behaved quite naturally for people placed in the situation they were in, and they were all unique enough to where they evokes certain emotions from you. The cinematography was awesome and I enjoyed a majority of the film. The ending was a bit, "eh..." for me. Mostly bc wtf was that plane scene? I also didn't like how they "seemingly" won, but it turns out they just got fucked over again by some allknowing being like...shut up
Escape Room 2: the ending from the last one didn't have me too excited for the second one, ngl. I was happy so see Holland Rolland in it, however, so it was okay. I said, "they finally got her in something other than teen wolf" ☠️☠️☠️ anyway. I'll be real, the second one didn't have my full attention one hundred percent of the time lmao. The scenes were still very pretty, but the premise was too similar to the first one. And like...of course it's gonna be? Bc they're in the same type of situation?? But damnn, I didn't need a lot of this. And it was very :/ bc the main girl (I forget her name) was acting more reckless in the second film like...wasn't she supposed to be the cautious one? And the dude who didn't gaf was more logical most of the time? Come on man... I also didn't like how they were all like, "ooh, in my game..." like...this isn't your first game, focus on the now omg
And don't get me started on how they kept bringing back people! Why didn't the military vet die?? Her plot and why she was making the game was stupid and it felt like someone pulled it out of their ass at the last minute 😒
Part two was annoying and I barely remember the ending. I feel like they set it up for a part three? But who knows...
Now, I have another question. Have you ever seen The Exam or The Lodge (both psych thrillers)?
Ahh thank you for sending them <3😌 (probably) big rant ahead lmao
Omgg I agree, I enjoyed the first one, it was an interesting premise and it had a good set of characters. Also at first it wasn’t quite clear (to me at least) who the MC was or if there even was one and I thought that was kind of cool too? Or for example I knew Zoe (?) wasn’t actually dead when she died from that poison but still. Predictability doesn’t always have to be bad. Omg it was annoying that they all kinda worked alone tho? 💀 like whenever someone found a clue/hint/whatever they would spend 5 minutes trying to solve it on their own like I’m sure at least one life could have been spared if they actually talked to each other dhsks
But I didn’t like the end either like I hate how nowadays they’re always setting everything up for a part two like ofc I get they want to make money but chill. If you’re a good writer you can easily make a part two even if you didn’t set up the whole plot in the previous film. And tbh even after the second film I didn’t understand how the ‘boss’ (idr his name) knew EVERYTHING. like i was so sure there was gonna be something supernatural involved bc even with all the technology we have today and genius people.. it’s just way too unrealistic that they planned everything THAT well. And idm unrealistic films but like this was supposed to be a realistic psychological thriller so.
I was happy that Holland was in it too! And yeah I think I’ve only ever seen her as Lydia tbh 😭and she looked so different (and more grown up obv) but I was happy to see her. And omg yeah I mean maybe it was just the novelty of it but I liked the rooms in the first one more too. And same same same I mean Zoe was so shy in the first film and I liked that she became more confident but at the same time.. aren’t you traumatised lmao. And I would have liked if they gave her a different arc with her confidence like idk in the first one she was shy and got a bit more confident bc she solved some clues and obviously the end but idk. They did talk about the trauma tho which I liked bc usually in those type of films the go through a life altering situation and two days later they’re sitting on some beach and chilling like shouldn’t you be in therapy💀 good for them if they’re not traumatised but it’s usually so unrealistic. And yeahh they kept talking about their old games that, in the end, had nothing to do w this one as if they had any time to waste lol.
ALSO i didn’t realise that they were not together??? At the end of ER 1 i thought they were together and on a date and in the second one i also thought they were together but then when he “died” she was like ‘he was my best friend’… ma’am didn’t you see how you were looking at each other? They didn’t kiss but that didn’t matter like they were clearly in love and I was at least hoping for friends to lovers bc it was just annoying that nothing romantic actually happened between them. And yeah the end of the second one.. I think they set it up for a part 3 but I stopped paying attention by then shsksjssk but the girl (the actress who plays that esther orphan girl) locked her dad in and said she’s gonna make her parents proud by making even cooler escape rooms but like i said i wasn’t fully paying attention so maybe that’s not what she said lol
Okay that’s enough sorry shsjsjsks
I haven’t watched either of those but they seem interesting 👀 but there are a few films called the exam so is it the one with Gemma Chan? And omg Jacob Barber is in the Lodge? Shsjs he’s everywhere lmao but I get it he’s perfect for those genres lmao there’s something weird about him (or he plays it well i mean he’s probably not like that irl but idk i’ve never watched an interview i think). Seems interesting but also like it’s a bit more horror than thriller? And I have to be careful with horror bc then I have trouble sleeping for weeks to come shsjsjsj so lmk how scary it is bc it does seem interesting 👀👀👀
#i’m so glad you didn’t proofread because holland rolland 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#escape room spoilers#?lmao#kendra <3#lmao sorry for the late reply yesterday was a depression day™️ (I’m absolutely fine now tho so don’t acknowledge it shsjs)#and i had to take a break from escape room bc i dreamt about it 😭😭😭😭😭#thank god my brain didn’t come up with an actual escape room scenario but i just was in an escape room lol#and since i watched that film it automatically meant i might die in my dream too lol

Uhh I know its closed but sorry if this is awkward im a 5'0 choppy short hair i wear sliver glasses and i draw alot uhhh i like weird animals and games i stutter alot I am a lazy shit and I'm a coward also I hate the outside (because it scares me) uhh i get sad sometimes also my hair looks black at first but when there's light it's actually dark brown also i have social anxiety i think that's it but eh.
ah yes, caf !! you're very lucky that im ur friend but just rmr that you're not gonna get the "I can send something in when requests are closed" pass next time, okay? /nm <3 enjoyyy
You got a match! You're matched with...
Hank!
:)
holy fuck he do a lil shimmy shimmy u go lil man🕺🕺‼️‼️
ah yes what were you expecting
Honestly tho he just fits you !!! How neat
There are many benefits. To being short
You were hiding out in a library, your temporary safe space from the shitshow that goes down outside of the place
No one else in Nevada seemed that interested in books other than you but whatever it also helps that books contain paper. Which u can draw on......
you Also ofc really hated going outside bc its so dangerous and you really don't want to suffer, or worse, die
You were stuck here since day 1, when Nevada began breaking apart. Luckily, the library was right next to a hidden bunker! Full of food!
So you chilled in the library (which was actually pretty well-built for an abandoned building. as I said, no one reads books anymore really, so everything of value was taken but the books all remained
Well, get used to reading LMAO
One day you heard a crash at the front entrance, and you immediately fit into one of your emergency spy holes in case an intruder came
Your eyes fell on the curious intruder, watching the tall figure cloaked in black as they wandered through
"Who are you?" Your voice spoke aloud before you could think
The person immediately took a defensive stance, drawing a pistol and dagger from their body and facing it right in your direction
A squeak immediately followed
"Gods- pl- please don't h-hurt me-e!"
They slowly approached to your hidey-tunnel under the dusty desks, gripping it and tossing it aside to reveal your small frame looking at him
You two just stare at each other, you breathing heavily in fear
After a good couple seconds, he backs away and continues further into the library
Confusedly, you follow him, a couple steps behind in fear that he'll turn and attack
He didn't, only looked at your stacks of books on your favorite weird animals and picked one up, skimming the pages
You were so confused wtf was he doing
You were so lost in your thoughts you accidentally bumped into him again
He turned to look at you, and you internally freaked out, but your mind was preoccupied with one question- which tumbled out of your mouth
"What are you doing here? Who are you??"
He only kept his goggles trained on you, not answering your question. Then turned away again
For the rest of his time there, he just wandered around and looked at books, then he left
You felt kinda sad, you kinda wanted to be his friend. He looked lonely
But, the following days, he came back at around the same time
Eventually warming up to your presence with him, he spoke few words at a time
You learned his name, Hank
He seemed to be surprised that you didn't know his name
That's what u get for being secluded in a library most of the time tbh
He likes sitting in silence with you and listening to you draw
You barely talk to him unless really required, so you were happy about that
Can't stutter if you don't talk, ez win
Likes petting your hair, complimented it once as well
You've made friends with the beast of Nevada how does it feel to Win
Likes it when you draw him, it makes him stim like crazy :>
I hope you enjoyed it caf <3

Project # 1: Portfolio Site and Blogsite Theme
Stage 1: Illustrations (09-30-21)
here's a quick timelapse. my photoshop actually failed multiple times when I was doing this vector but eh, everything worked out in the end. I know that I should've Adobe Illustrator and saved it as SVG, but I don't have the application and I'm not familiar with AI that much huhu. PNG will do for now.
Stage 2: Prototype and Layout Design (09-30-21)
Creating the UI Design on Figma. I've been loving the color green lately so I decided to use it as the primary color for my site! Made the prototype for mobile and tablet viewing as well, including dark mode (which i won't be doing btw)
Stage 3: CODING -- HTML (10-04-21)
Got distracted for the next 4 days (smh!) But I started coding the site today. Looking pretty good
Stage 4.0: CSS and Responsiveness -- Header Section (10-05-21)
I implemented using SASS for this site for the first time ever and it made coding the CSS sososososo much easier!
I spent a lot of time making sure that everything looks nice in every size of the screen! Making the page responsive was what took me a lot of time to finish this section because this will be the first time that I was gonna make a responsive website. Turned out okay, I'm kinda proud of it! 💕
Also, ended up using Haikei for the back wavy SVG background. I liked this one better :) Also learned that there was something called aspect-ratio, took me a lot of time to understand this because I didn't search about it lmao. Trial and error for the sizing!
Stage 4.1: Portfolio Section (10-06-21)
I forgot to record the trouble I had with aligning the contents in the 'portfolio' section but I spent a lot of time trying to align them every time I resize the screen. Turns out, I just had to add one line of code haha. You learn something new every day
Ended up not following the prototype for this section. The original plan was for a box to appear every time I hover the image but realized that how will that work on mobile? So I ended up following this tutorial instead!
Stage 4.2: About and Toolbox Section (10-06-21) (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Spent HOURS trying to get this right, I even made a box model to follow but none of it worked lmao. I ended up putting everything on the trash and went to sleep hahaha
(10-07-21) ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) -- Ended up using this code from StackOverflow hahaha.
Stage 4.4: Contact and Footer Section (10-12-21)
A/N: Okay I know, I slacked off for the past 5 days before continuing this project but I got a new dog, got vaccinated, enjoyed my last few days in this town, and I've planned what I was gonna do with my life this month since I'm moving back to Baguio in a week. Life has been uhhhh asdasdas. Oh and I've been watching mechanical keyboard vids for more hours than I really should instead of working my shit together. Anyway...
I also had a hard time aligning this huhu I'm really sorry for being a noob and being a slow coder but yep! Done! Although the contact form doesn't actually work lmao. Apparently, I need to have a backend but I'm too lazy for that huhu.
Stage 4.5: Darkmode (10-13-21)
Tried to do this but I had a hard time aligning the dark/day mode logo on the right and for it to appear whenever the size gets smaller. I know I gave up too soon but I just want this project to be over, it has taken me too long. I'll save this part for next time, I'm sorry.
So yeah, things to improve:
+ dark mode + contact form
Bonus Stage:
I actually made this the other day while I was procrastinating at coding hahaha. So I think I'll be working on this tomorrow so I can finally make this blog public to everyone.
Kind of the same layout, but still different? Ya feel me, fam? I will also be changing the logo and links to handwritten PNGs to make it feel more personal yknow
Update (06-30-22)
Update: Took a break for how many months, because I moved to a new city, adjusted, focused on work and making extra incomes, and doing my hobbies huhu but I'm back!
I did design a new website to add to my portfolio earlier this year on Figma but ended up halting it, too because I volunteered for 2 months to campaign for VP Leni for presidency. She ended up not winning and it did hurt a lot but at least I met a lot of new people and I'm proud to say that I stood my ground and fought for what I believe is right. It definitely was a time of my life. ANYWAY!!! Back to the website.
I actually started a few days ago, but I updated my Sass because apparently, the one that I was using hasnt been updated for 3 years now. Anyway, Sass stopped working and I had to use @use and @forward but I wasted a olot of time trying to fix it so I decided to stop using Sass and just transfer everything to regular CSS. My website worked again. Took me time to adjust with the syntax of CSS again, and I think I'll just stay and use pure CSS this time to avoid confusion and easy implementation between html, css, and javascript.
Goods news, again. I fixed the typewriting effect and dark/light mode!
Other than the contact form that's not really working, I'm basically done, I just need to add more to my portfolio site and I'll put this site on live and I'm gonna use tumblr to host it. :) Next project is to code this blogsite so I can link it on my portfolio and social media!
Stage 5: Coding the Blogsite (July 4-5, 2022)
OH MY GOD AAAAA. I know I've been putting this project on the side for almost a year now. I've wasted so many months because I just didn't have the motivation because I thought I couldn't do them but I get to finish them in a span of like 1-2 days. Why do I doubt myself so much, I have so much potential. Anyway, this blogsite is now live and I'm so happy about it. I'll make a separate post for it.
Next step is convert the codes for my portfolio site so it can be rendered by tumblr again, connect my other project designs to the portfolio corner and probably apply for a company and (HOPEFULLY???) finally get hired!!
I'm still contemplating whether to move to Mania for office word or just stick to WFH because I really don't wanna waste so much time on traffic in the city. I'm blabbering now. Goodbye hahaha

Anyway, I hope you're always taking care of yourself, make sure to drink water and eat on time! Oh and get enough sleep^^
(so sorry if this is too much ehe)
hi hi anon!
i am feeling much better now than when i was younger ( god i'm old lmao ), but i still do have some depressive episodes, but they are not that frequent and are less intense. i've also just joined the art club at my school for the first time in a while so i'm looking forward to it today, since we're gonna paint pumpkins.
also shhhh, i try to take care of myself ( key word is try ) but i'm honestly just lazy, too busy with homework, or i just wake up with little to no motivation. but i should probs do whatcu said cuz i have a terrible health schedule lol. and i have the nasty habit of staying up late lol,,,
but thank you for caring so much! you make sure to take care of yourself too y'know!

Lines.
✎desc; how I would rate haikyuu character's drawing.
✎team[s]; fukurodani, inarizaki
✎genre; crack
✎language[s]; english
✎chef note; okay, first off, I'm not a professional drawer but I can still rate drawings. This idea just came to me like a minute ago and I had to do it now, so enjoy :)
fukurodani.
Bokuto
Aight, I see that we started off greatly.
In all honesty, he have no idea how to draw,
And of course his drawing would look,,,, quite terrible i'm so sorry bokuto lovers
He's that kid in art class where's when the teacher already told them what to draw,
Bokuto sat there on his chair, staring at the canvas
Like, what is he suppose to do? Draw?
Well, yeah technically but what???
I can totally see him frustratingly erase the sketch if it can be called as a sketch
And then proceed to try to copy other people's work
Keyword; try
It's bad but at least he had an effort to finish it
4/10, there I said it
Akaashi
His drawings are not that professional but it's pretty
Have you ever seen a drawing that you wanted to stare at it for hours until you're satisfied?
That what's his drawing are like
Not typically an art kid so he's fine when student's from his art class asked him to draw for them
And is feeling pretty neutral with his talent (he actually won't call it a talent but more like a hobby or sum)
And just say 'thanks' if peoples compliments his drawing
Let say his drawing is, a good 8/10
A decent drawer in conclusion :)
Konoha
Not a bad drawer but he rather keep it basic
Konoha's prolly too lazy to draw something over the top so he's just gonna draw flower or something ksndnzkj
Sometimes sleep during art class and had to ask what they had to draw
Proceeds to decently draws a scenery
He's totally not the creative kid so whenever the teach tell them to draw something, he'll always go with basket of fruits, like,
Man, I appreciated the drawing but at least put some effort on thinking what to draw
The art teacher also kept telling him that he have raw talent and should enhance the skill more,
But that never happened, no
"Sorry ma'am, I'll just stick to volleyball, thank you,"
One part of the art room has a section of konoha's basket of fruits drawings but in different mediums
Rating is 7/10
Washio
IS actually an art kid and you cannot convince me otherwise
Has a small sketchbook with him and he'll always doodle when he's bored or in a middle of a lecture (while taking notes of course)
His main skill in drawing tho is painting
The colors blends in so well with one another and he's good at picking color palettes
Also, he doesn't really get that annoyed if some kids from his class ask him to teach them how to draw
Or even look through his sketchbook
He'll just nod and hand it to them without a second thought
Ajsjdhsijsi Washio get so blushy when someone compliments his drawing,,,,
I’ll give a 10/10 :), congrats
Sarukui
The best that he can do is doodles of owls and other shits but other than that, he cannot do
But the doodles are kinda cute doe ngl
He’ll have his moment where he’s in class and have no idea what to do, and just doodles a bunch of stuff
Once he draw his whole teammate including his coach and himself, he thought to himself,
“Huh, this looks good,”
And then take a picture of it for memories (cause he might throw the book he’s doodling in away)
Speaking of that, he doesn’t have an official book for drawing and just draws in his english or math’s textbook or sum
His juniors eyes are blessed when they got his textbook
Sarukui just vibes in during art class, draws and that’s pretty much it
The drawings,,,,,eh,,,, not that good, he only specialize in doodling as I said
so in conclusion,
drawing? 2/10
doodling? I’ll give a solid 5/10, good job
Komi
I’m gonna say this and I’m prolly gonna say it again
He hates art class
Like, even with him trying his best to draw, it’ll always gonna look strange than what he planned
mf cannot draw a straight line in art class
This dood can draw a nice straight line in any other class whether it’s for a graph or others,
And then proceed to shakily draw a straight line during art session
Totally not an art kid and will never be one
His drawings,,,,
I’m so sorry but it looks so bad
It’ll prolly look a lot better if he put more effort, but it’ll still look bad no matter what
Komi hates art class and can’t draw even a decent doodle so unfortunately, I’ll have to rate it 0/10, sorry :(
Anahori
His drawings are eh
It’s not good but also not bad?
Sometimes you’ll just stare at his drawing for a good minute and be like, what did he just draw just now?
What I’m saying is that his drawing’s are unexplainable
Maybe if you stare at it a little bit longer then it’ll make sense and you can see the beauty in it
But honestly I can’t really see anything, not in a bad way, but like, literally nothing
You’ll be staring at his canvas as the mario kart rainbow road music started playing inside your head
But Anahori is always proud of his drawings no manner what
So, I’ll rate confusion/10
Onaga
Just like Komi, he sorta hates art class too
But lemme tell ya, his sketches are GODLY, like, have you seen those pinterest hand sketches?
That’s what his sketch would look like
It’s so yummy to look at what
But he sucks at lineart so JAHGSDSHD
Onaga cannot properly hold the black pen and do the lineart, it’ll always turn wonky and he had to throw it away
Like, if he spend even hours tryna outline it all, and then erase it
It’ll look so trash
And he’ll just stare at it for a couple of minutes before crumpling the paper
He’ll also suck at coloring
Mans cannot understand how the color blend in together
And I think I’ll rate,,,,,6/10 just cause he suck at coloring and lineart lmao don’t worry i suck at coloring too
Kaori
Another decent drawer and her drawings are almost the same as Akaashi’s
But instead of it looking pretty, it looks cute
I have a headcanon that Kaori have a journal and does journaling so that’s prolly the reason why her drawings are cute af
But honestly, her drawings sometimes depends on her mood,
If she’s mad or frustrated, her drawing would look kinda rough and not that cute anymore
If she’s feeling happy tho, It’ll look so nice and cuddly does that even make any sense
Isn’t necessarily an art kid but would love to try be one
And she totally have drawing sessions with Washio aaaaaa,
Just imagine both of them sketching in the same sketchbook while talking about the volleyball club or anything else
She’s getting an 9/10 just cause her sketchs looks clean <33
Yukie
She doesn’t draw at all
Like, you’ll never see her drawing at any kind of time so you have no idea what it looks like
Yukie would still attend art class,
But never draws
She said that she’s pretty lazy to draw it and said to draw it at her home later
But no one even saw that drawing after that
Yukie doesn’t show her drawings nor EVEN draw for once
So I technically can’t rate :/
inarizaki.
Ginjima
LISTEN
The only reason why I started with Gin is because he have some amazing drawing skills
He admit that he’s not an art kid but draws godly as if he had been thought since he was a kid,
Well, actually yes
I think Ginjima actually wanted to be a drawer when he was still a little kid way before he started his 3rd year of middle school
So he practiced a few and became a nice drawer since then,
But he kinda quit being a drawer and decided to go with volleyball
And guess what?
His drawing talent is still there
He totally specialize in pencil drawing cause that’s the first thing he started learning
The lines are smooth and the shading are so yummy what is wrong with me
The Miya twins and Suna are so sh00ked when he saw his drawing during art class
ngl he’s pretty smug about it too but doesn’t brag about it
I’ll give this boy 12/10, mwuaah
Suna
I hate this man for this sole reason
Suna is too LAZY to draw so he doesn’t give any effort in his drawing
I can guarantee myself that I’ll get an eye strain when I saw his drawing
And...
*wipes away tears*
He draws too many dick
–2/10
Don’t come for my head Suna lovers
Atsumu
OMFG
OKAY, OKAY, I KNOW THAT ATSUMU MIGHT PUT ON SOME EFFORT IN HIS DRAWINGS,
BUT WHY IS IT STILL SO BAD?????
He’ll prolly think his drawing would look good but no, it’s not
No matter on what perspective you look his drawings at, It’ll still look bad
AND HE DOESN’T EVEN NOTICE IT
Osamu laughs a lot at his drawing and they started fighting for that only reason smh
Atsumu, I appreciate your effort so SO much,
But please, just stick to volleyball
–10+/10
I put a plus there because of his effort and because of pity
Osamu
He draws in ms paint, with a mouse
But he can draw some foods tho
But all of it looks wonky af
1/10
Akagi
A pretty decent drawer
Akagi always draw happy and cute drawings so you’ll also get happy when you saw his drawings
Puts on a big smile when people compliments his drawing and shyly scratches the back of his neck
“Nah, this just look normal!”
But he draws oddly thick lines sometimes
Sometimes it looks good in some drawing
And sometimes it looks, bizzare in others...
But I think his drawing would look nice <3
Overall, I’ll give a,,, 7.5/10, keep up the good work
Oomimi
He’s from class 7 AND I really think that he’ll be good at drawing
Well, he can draw a few things but he struggles drawing other things he never accustomed to
But!
Oomimi is that kid who’s good at drawing scenery
He knows basic color palettes and which is cold and hot colors
So the scenery drawing would always look good
He get a lot of compliments for the drawing (50% of it from Akagi)
I think he doesn’t have that many time to relax and draw freely but when he does have it, it’ll just be small and simple doodles
um, let’s go with 8/10 <3
Aran
I truly believe that Aran can draw peoples face but in a pretty decent amount
He’s also good with anatomy teach me your ways king
But as much as he’s good at that, he kinda sucks at drawing any kind of background drawings
Mans can’t draw a scenery I’m telling you
As if the background doesn’t even exist in his mind lolol I’m sorry Aran lovers, I didn’t mean that in a bad way
Mainly uses copic markers to color and color pencils to shade
The first time he use the copic marker, he got really frustrated that the marker stain the other pages lmao
And he never uses digital drawing applications or softwares
Aran just doesn’t
I think I’ll rate him, 8.5/10
Kita
Okay, I know that Kita’s a top student and never fails in anything
But he’s not typically a good drawer that much
His drawing still got good marks but when you look at it, it just looks normal
I just know that the Kita lovers gonna get me after this
It’s not that bad and not that good, just a nice balance in between
I personally think Kita’s not that godly in drawing but rather a neutral drawer
He draw what he can and does shading and coloring when it’s needed
The colors are all basic colors, no pastel, no neon
And the shadings are pretty basic
Just a normal drawer here
Ya’ll gonna fight me for this but I’ll give Kita’s point,
7/10

Hey! Can I ask for your overall thoughts on Shadow and Bone? I'm thinking about watching it.
Hello!
(This is not spoiler free opinion lmao)
I think overall the show is pretty neat but just like any shows it has flaws (and some parts I nitpick) they made misstep that really leaves me tired (re: the weird-ass no depth racism to Shu Han.).
If you love shady people doing shady things while fun to look at and give you feelings, I think you'd love the crows (Kaz, Inej, Jesper, and also Nina and Matthias.) which honestly the main reason why I watched the show at all. They are really my highlights for the shows and make me can't wait for the SOC time! (That said I heard they can't do the storyline before the Darkling out of the picture because Jurda Parem (a drug that makes Grisha dependent on it) which honestly sounds lazy because SOC appeals are really the heist, not Jurda Parem and I can think a way to corporate it even then).
But for the main storyline, I really wish I can love it especially since it could be interesting but eh, it not quite landing to me. (My knowledge of the book (TGT, I already read SOC duology before) is also mostly comes from a friend that reading it while screaming at me lol).
Overall, I think it's a good show for all its flaws and I think it worth picking up for the acting, the crows, VFX, and music. There are really good moments too.
(I'll put my opinion about the main storyline under the cut and it's full of spoiler so read under caution anon)
Like first, the whole Alina being part-Shu in the show and not even a few minutes in there already have a form of racism against her being part-Shu. It's really so hard to go through that I mostly tuned out or have to stop and take a breather. I usually fast binge watcher but it took me few days because of it.
Since in the book, Alina is not part-Shu, I know there wouldn't be reckoning or any more exploration on the matter so it feels like giving the protag (and Asian viewer but especially East Asian descent) more trauma for the sake of it and it's not only very surface level but cheap. Not a fun experience at all.
Second, the geopolitical in the show (and its lack of care). First, we know that they are at war with Shu Han and Fjerdan but there is also a subplot about West Ravka is preparing for a coup and independence from Ravka BUT I don't think the show actually explains the war and why it was happening, and how it affected Ravka that regardless you are Grisha or not, you are drafted to Army anyway. Also, for all it suffering the Fold caused, it really gives a question what would happen after it's gone because I don't think it would become the magical fix-it, that the war suddenly stopped, and on top of that in the show, the West Ravka is about to coup so it could even end up in Civil War instead of a united Ravka. I wonder how would the show handle it since according to my friend, the coup is a shows-only plot. Well, I do hope there more care toward the geopolitics in next season.
Third, the Darkling. He is probably the most controversial character right now with the sheer of people who either hate or love him lmao. I personally think he is an intriguing antagonist and villain. I can totally buy how he become totally callous on the cost for individuals as he looked in the bigger picture but at the same time, I think it's a pity that he had to the big bad in the trilogy, since he was the person who defended Grisha at the beginning, the one who makes sure the Little Palace could be the place where Grisha thrive and doesn't have to hide their power (which could lead them to have decline health if they suppress it). My other friend said he felt like Magneto which probably not too far off, with how he justified his action all in the name of his people. I just think if Grisha was persecuted, I'd like the big bad is the oppressors instead of him but eh, rice has become porridge, guess I just gotta see how the shows would roll it.
Not gonna lie, I am curious how would they develop Alina in the next season mostly because I want to see Alina like in 1X05, Alina who relied on herself and confident and making decisions for herself. (I don't care about the shipping and so I won't comment on shipping but I wish when Alina runaway from the Little Palace, instead of being told by Bahgra she found the letter by herself and then decide thing for herself. It'd be more cathartic.)
Anyway, here my long-winded response because I apparently have thoughts lmao.
#anon#ask#answered#shadow and bone#sab spoilers#alina starkov#grishaverse#watch for crows and stay for crows for me lmao#the darkling#soc#laciefuyu talk#me: i have opinion
