Have you ever decided to start making something and you soon realize you put yourself way over your head?
Think I just did that to myself…

Being a writer is tough. it is much too easy to neglect all personal responcibilities and care as you spend hours sitting in the same place describing scenes as they play out in your head and a lot of the time you don't even notice until you finish and you look up and you realize the light outside has changed and you have a headache, and still you don't want to stop.
A block might be frustrating and painful but getting into the flow is sometimes worse cause you aren't paying attention to yourself anymore. It's tempting to just put it all off and put your head down and just write. You have to consciously drag yourself away from that and set timers and reminders and make sure you're getting what you need when all you want to do is write
Anyway when's the last time you drank water? Go get hydrated

hello! gosh, i honestly have no idea what else to do anymore. i've been such a huge ball of anxiety these pass few days and i feel like i've got no other choice ://
so, enrollment for the next semester is this Monday (in 4 days), and idk why my school decided to do it during this time when most ppl don't get paid until the last day of the month/next month. as if that isn't enough, enrollments are also on a time limit and now that we get to decide our own schedules, it's also a race on who gets the subjects first. and if you can't pay for a percentage of the tuition fee upfront, you're going to get delisted so you have to pick your subjects again. the later you enroll, the fewer timeslots. so i could end up having a 6-9pm which isn't safe for me in this city especially when i commute alone. even worse, our tuition for this semester is much higher for some reason and we weren't warned about it.
i can't ask for financial aid from my school yet bc it's required to have at least finished 1 year before you're able to. i'm still trying to look for student/personal loan options bc most i've seen so far require a monthly that i just can't afford rn and it only covers 1 term instead of a whole year so it's not really that sustainable :(( (i don't live in the US btw so it's not a "start paying when you graduate" thing. taking out a loan means i still need to pay monthly while in school on top of other expenses, which as you can imagine, feels more like a burden than it is helpful.) i've also tried looking for scholarships but most only support stem/business courses bc this country isn't nice to artists so that sucks.
i honestly have very little money saved and with the sudden increase in tuition, it's hard to cover half of it even with my parents' help. and again, nobody is getting paid until next month so money is already tight as is with it being the end of th month.
so long story short, i need some help. the first installment for the fee (converted from my currency) is about $600. BUT. NO PRESSURE. i'm only asking those who have extra to spare. and any and all amounts are welcome. it's already going to be such a huge help. hell, even just a simple reblog to boost this already helps a ton.
but also, my commissions are open! so if u want to have a lil story in exchange for just a tiny bit of help, that'd be great too <3
here's my kofi and my pypl
again, no pressure! even a smallest amount already helps a lot. and also, pls do reblog to boost. i really appreciate you! i hope you're having a wonderful day <3 don't forget to take care of yourself too. sending you wonderful people love always ❤️
tagging some mutuals under the cut for a boost bc sometimes this doesn't show up in the tags anymore (but also you don't have too!! you can ignore this if u want alskalks)
@selfcarecap @hollandsmoose @shellshocklove @tanaka-drew @agaritas @userholland @thecodyexpress @annab-nana @hollandweather @annathesillyfriend @cumholland @jasntodds @quethekillerqueen @worldoftom (ily guys, i hope you're all safe and well ❤️)

I’m sure people already pointed out the parallels between Volo and Kieran, which are pretty uncanny, but I wanted to further expand on that.
Both believed in legendary/mythical beings of their respective culture, and eventually grew obsessive with them.
They were keen to find the truth and which consequently triggered a major event that summoned antagonistic entities (aka giratina and Loyal Three).
They each sought power, but in their own ways - Volo was bent on domination and world erasure while Kieran wanted strength to prove himself but in a misdirected way.
What makes their parallels even more evident is that these two share extensive knowledge on the lore with us because of their lineages that had ties with the legendary/mythical Pokémon.
Additionally, Volo and Kieran project their perceived image onto the pokemon especially because of their past. They depended on these pokemon as sources of comfort, as answers to the reason the way things are, and as figures of admiration they wanted to emulate.
Last but not least they are strong, and after fighting them, they give you an important item that gives you a direct contact/connection with the pokemon lol
I like how we have someone who devoted most of their life to pursue a mythical being and a kid who idolizes a misunderstood being and relates to it but then takes it up a notch beyond "normal".

If I had a nickel for every time Odysseus fell asleep, his men would do something that would ruin their chances of returning home, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Juni kept the wings??? T-T And I was wondering what would happen to him during the eclipse
I wanna pick up Juni and take him to another world where he can learn to actually be safe and happy and figure himself out.
-🎀
he kept the wings!! because in his life he's never seen anyone treated with so much gentleness and love as scar treated grian, and in his head this means that if he himself is avian-like, maybe then he could also be deserving of such love!
...though he knows that's not right. not anymore. not after everything.
but wings are also a burden, and he feels like he needs to keep them, if only because grian can't take off his. it's a weak repentance, a frail, silly grasp at a connection he himself broke, but... he doesn't have much else.
he doesn't know who he should be, but the most he ever felt like himself was when he had wings, so. they say.
..... and. as for picking juni up and taking him away. yes. yes please. 🥺 he needs love and safety and space to figure himself out.
(but that's a wish we can't grant </33)
