#hydration checkpoint

[lordbeebrain]

ADHD sucks because it’s just going through life telling yourself “I know I could do great things, if only I…” but then not really being able to figure out how to finish the sentence, all while your life just ticks by in the background and you’re too timeblind to even notice it happening.

That’s honestly the most depressing way I’ve described ADHD ever tbh 😅🫠

I just hate the thought that when people hear “ADHD” they think of spacey/hyperactive or 🤪QUIRKY🤪 and not of the “I’m actually soul crushingly depressed because I feel like a literal biological mistake masquerading as a human FAILURE who cannot even remember to DRINK WATER.”

You should probably drink water if you’re seeing this, btw ❤️

Checkpoint! º⌂º

Hey cutie! here's a little checkpoint for you + a refresher for uu !! ↴ - If you're feeling tired or drained. make sure to rest, physical tiredness can be lightened by some beauty sleep◝ - If you're feeling sad. Workout! Read! Do something you love! - Overstimulated? Find a comfy + quiet place and take some deep breaths (close your eyes count to 10 slowly and breathe, everything will be ok! (>'-'<) ) - Overthinking? Write down your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and plans! (Remember, you're amazing and strong, you've gotten so far, never give up! Ily) ୧ ‧₊˚ 🍮 ⋅ ☆

Apparently the line between ‘drink’ and ‘beverage’ is Kentucky. Hold the line, boys. Hold the line.

[warframe1999]

Sooo…

The protoframes, huh?

i wanted to go a bit into what each member of the Hex (yay, new syndicate!!) had to say when you got into proximity of them in the relay. there’s honestly a lot here to set the scene not only for 1999 itself, but introducing each protoframe as well as sort of hinting at their interpersonal relationships, and how they interact with one another! some of my favorite kinda of lore is specifically character development and personality-focused dynamics like this so here!!!! i walked back and forth for an hour for YOU! here is all proximity dialogue for each character in the Höllvania Mall relay:

ARTHUR:

“Question. Could I take Quincy down if he turned on me?”

“We’ll find you, Doctor. That’s a promise.”

“Stop sniffing around my head, Eleanor. If I want to talk, I’ll talk.”

“We need to keep Lettie on her feet. If she goes we all go.”

“Dunno why we even bothered with that cleaning rota.”

“Yeah, we can hold this place.”

“One day, Aoi. No more roadblocks and checkpoints. Just you and me and the bikes, open road for miles, all this bullshit far away. I swear to Sol.”

“Still too open. We need more chokepoints.”

“Bottled water. Like sodding gold dust.”

“Well Amir’s still alive. That’s a win.”

LETICIA:

“I got nothin’ to prove to you, Quincy! Go play your little games, niño.”

“¿Qué onda? The Lady Eleanor ain’t no more freaky than the last time you checked in. ‘Less you know different?”

“Yo, Aoi. Chill, hermana. Do something for yourself, for once. Arthur ain’t going to blow away if you blink.”

“The boss says care for his sister I care for his sister. As long as you still are his sister… and as long as I feel like listening to him.”

“Being loved and being hurt? Yeah, I make no distinction. I knew someone, once, wired the same way. Kept me sane. And what of it? Te crees muy acá ¿no? Get outta my head, Eleanor.”

“Never signed up for this. I’ll be home Mamá. Your little girl doesn’t end here. No te preocupes.”

“Man, I’ve been awake so long that even the spiders in my head have all gone to sleep.”

“Wacha: unless you’re pissing blood right this second, whatever it is can wait.”

“I swear, should lock Aoi and Amir in a cuna. Didn’t sign up for no babysitting gig.”

AOI:

“I don’t wanna go on patrol. I wanna take stuff apart.”

“Nearly time for the On-lyne boys.”

“Metal, metal, metal, what do you want to be?”

“Yep. I can live like this.”

“Arthur needs to keep some fuel in the tank for himself. Goddamn savior complex that man has…”

“I oughta get some headphones. Then I wouldn’t have to hear Quincy work off all that surplus testosterone!”

“If they take Entrati out, who’s going to look after that mutant jaguar of his? Poor thing won’t last five minutes in the wild.”

“Amir! Remember to hydrate!”

“Dear past self: we finally got those super powers we always wanted. Whaddayaknow.”

“GodDAMN. Lettie would you keep your frickin’ rats OUT of my SPACE?”

QUINCY:

“Don’t look up, Doctor.”

“Arthur needs to leave the Major to me, innit. Respect my methods.”

“Don’t mind the waiting. Plenty to be thinking about.”

“You don’t know me. Never see what darkens your rooftops. Inevitable, like the rain. Handing out consolations in a transient connection. Boom. Smoke. And ghost.”

“You wiv me, Eleanor? How deep in you go? See anythin’ you fancy, girl?”

“Amir is a weak, weak boy. Like Aunty said, ‘duppy know who fi frighten.’”

“Thassit… nice and steady.”

“How many man have the opps got? Not enough t’be takin’ me. Never.”

“Oi, Lettie! Grab y’ strap and let’s go. Best a five buys the drinks?”

ELEANOR:

“Don’t expect me to tell you what I’ve seen in Amir’s head. He’s not a beautiful, broken marionette, and he’s nobody’s project. He’s one of us.”

“Quincy thinks he’s going to wake up one night to me chewing the flesh from his ribs. Maybe he’s right.”

“I know you’re there. I can feel you. It’s okay, I won’t tell the others.”

“Aoi? She’s lovely and kind and strong, and… I kind of hate her a little bit. Because it should have been her spreading her happiness into everyone’s heads, and me throwing cars and trucks around.”

“I thought there were going to be two of you! Where’s the other one?”

“Blood. There’s gonna be a fight. Something… bursting. Crossed swords. Arthur!”

“What on earth is a ‘Mara Lohk’?”

“Oh, you’re going to make such a difference this time around.”

“I don’t think Doctor Entrati expected me to survive. I had a lot more than just a cough. But… survive I did. And Lettie has not forgiven me for it.

“Oh. OH. She’s wonderful! Triple-faced goddess! But there’s a shadow on her, isn’t there?”

AMIR:

“A little zap, and… infinite credit! No more ‘insert coin’! Not that we could insert coin. We have no coin. Once we had coin, but now Aoi has smooshed all the coin. Coinnnn.”

“Why did they never make a console port?”

“BAD MOVE, SPACE CAA-DET.”

“But the one thought none of them spoke out loud was - could Lettie reattach a head?”

“Hey, Arthur! Arthur! Arthur! Arthur! Arthur! Dahh, you missed it.”

“Eleanor? Are you there? Can you - can you give my brain a hug please? Thank you.”

“We’re getting a little too excited, let’s step it down, step it down before we get the blue cracklies. In one two out one two.”

“Oi’m Quincy. Oi’m gonna blow out yer kneecaps. Mashup in yer chip shop alright.”

“Ungh! This violent video game is influencing my emotions! Societal norms… eroding! Morality… subsumed! I MUST KILL!”

“This place used to smell so good. Coffee. Cookies. Fresh clean socks. Now it’s just rust, pain, and old socks.”

⚠️ NYX CHECKPOINT⚠️

These are all very important things! If Nyx doesn't vibe with something, she's gonna hit the bricks. 3 seconds of being scooped & smooched or gentle scritches on her nose. Any longer than that and she will knock my hand out of the way, bite, or simply leave.

People can respect you or die 🗡️ 🩸

｡𖦹 °✩creating your perfect comeback strategy - part 3/5 🎀｡𖦹 °✩

1st post 2nd post

posted by: glowettee

hey gorgeous studybugs! ♡

time for the most exciting part of the bad grade recovery series - planning your academic glow-up!!!!!! after analyzing what went wrong, we're now going to create the most effective (and aesthetic) comeback plan ever. this post will seriously help you with any class.

♡ setting goals (but make them realistic)

let's break this down into manageable pieces:

short-term goals:

identify the exact grade you need on next assignments

set weekly study targets (be specific with hours!)

plan concept mastery checkpoints

create mini-deadlines for improvement

long-term goals:

final grade target

overall understanding improvements

study habit transformations

confidence rebuilding

♡ your new study schedule

this isn't just any schedule - it's your academic glow-up timeline, so make it important:

morning routine:

quick concept review (15 mins while having your morning tea)

plan your study goals for the day

organize materials needed

set up your study space

daily study blocks:

45-minute focused sessions (i use a cute timer app)

15-minute aesthetic breaks (stretch, hydrate, quick tiktok check)

alternate between subjects

include active recall exercises

evening review:

30-minute summary of what you learned

prep materials for tomorrow

quick self-quiz

celebrate small wins!

♡ the actual study techniques (that actually work)

here's what really helps:

active recall methods:

teach concepts to your stuffed animals (seriously, it works!)

create practice questions

draw concept maps (make them pretty but functional)

record voice notes explaining topics

write summaries without looking at notes

understanding checks:

can you explain it to someone else?

can you solve problems without references?

can you connect different concepts?

do you understand why, not just how?

♡ resource maximization (because we're being smart about this)

time to use everything available:

professor/teacher resources:

office hours (schedule them in advance!)

email questions (keep them specific and organized)

extra materials they recommend

past exam reviews

study support:

form a study group (2-4 people max)

use tutoring services

online resources (but pick reliable ones!)

practice problems from textbook

supplementary videos

♡ your accountability system

staying on track is crucial:

daily checks:

study log (track actual study time)

concept understanding rating

questions that came up

what worked/didn't work

weekly reviews:

progress check

study method effectiveness

time management evaluation

goals met/missed

adjustments needed

♡ creating your perfect study environment

because aesthetics actually help:

physical space:

clean desk (but keep it cute)

good lighting (natural light is best!)

comfortable seating

all materials within reach

minimal distractions

study essentials:

colored pens/highlighters

sticky notes

planner

water bottle

healthy snacks

background music playlist

♡ emergency backup plans

because life happens:

plan b strategies:

alternate study locations

backup study materials

digital copies of important notes

emergency contact list for help

quick review sheets for cramming

stress-relief techniques

this isn't just about recovering from one bad grade - it's about creating a sustainable study system that works for you! - it needs to be consistent, personalized, and something you'll actually stick to!

the next post, i will talk about how to actually execute this plan (and what to do when things get tough).

xoxo, mindy 🎀

Hey!  You there!  You look like you need a break!  Take a breath, sit back, and take it easy!

[technologyvoid]

CHECKPOINT!

Everyone who sees this must:

Hydrate/eat if you haven't in a while!

Take your meds if you have any!

Get up and stretch if possible! If not, close your eyes for a few seconds, or look at something far away

Check the time! Should should you be asleep? Getting ready to go somewhere?

And most importantly, say 3 good things about yourself! In the tags, or comments. Genuinely good things, ones that you like about yourself. No sarcasm. No backhanded compliments.

Principal Monokuma’s Room Check!

Trigger Happy Havoc Girls

THH Boys Rooms

Again, there are a few notes throughout to explain some things I thought most would not know or just to clarify things changed in localization. Also, if you are disappointed by the three nearly empty rooms, the girls’ cottages in 2 will hopefully make up for it.

Maizono-san's Room Edition

Popular idols say that they have such a harsh schedule that they can’t even get a good night’s sleep. The bleak room Maizono-san has makes me think about that a little.

Checkpoints: A: It’s a bed with pink sheets, which are common in girls’ rooms. The fact she makes her bed after waking up shows she has a methodical personality.

B: I thoughtfully placed a sewing set in the drawer! Wouldn’t you like to see the girls try at least one kind of needlework?

C: I am a gentlemanly bear, so I don’t look into girls’ trash cans, rummage through them, open them up, sniff them, or put them in my mouth, that's correct.

D: The girls’ shower rooms are locked! No matter how much fun the girls are having in the dorm life, as long as I’m alive I will not tolerate any insolence!

Kirigiri-san's Room Edition

Ah, this again. Following Maizono-san, Kirigiri-san is also plain and simple. Hey, hey, you’re a girl, aren’t you? Wouldn’t it be better if you had a bit more girly flair?

Checkpoints: A: Kirigiri-san’s bed looks like it would smell nice. Imagining a prickly girl like her sleeping defenseless makes me feel protective.

B: It’s a desk for studying, just like everyone else’s. Including Kirigiri-san, I can’t imagine most of the students sitting here.

C: A surveillance camera is common for all rooms. But, to the cool Kirigiri-san, my gaze seems to have no more value than a bug.

D: Oh! Sorry, I forgot to prepare a trash can for you! But beautiful girls don’t blow their noses, so it’s okay!

Asahina-san's Room Edition

This room gives the impression that someone loves exercising, whether awake or asleep. With all these training items, it’s like a small gym. I’d like to see Asahina-san use it too. Upupu.

Checkpoints: A: A stepper for training the lower body and a roller for abdominal muscles. The roller particularly is inexpensive but highly effective. It’s okay to kneel at first.

B: It's a balance ball that helps you train your core body on a daily basis. It's pretty fun, isn't it? Oh, and you can't miss the school swimsuits hanging out to dry!

C: Unfortunately, There’s nothing as simple and effective as a training tube! I can’t use it because my arms and legs aren’t long enough...

D: Bottles for hydration and a first aid kit. She’s so well prepared and considerate in case of emergencies, I bet she’ll be a great wife with lots of children. Note: Anytime someone makes a joke about the bad ending, an angel loses its wings.

Fukawa-san's Room Edition

As expected of someone called a literary girl, she has an incredible amount of books. With the books being piled up around the bed and desk, you can tell what kind of reading she does. Note: Toko’s Japanese talent is “Literary Girl”.

Checkpoints: A: As you can see, this desk is a built-in piece of furniture with a fairly thin top, so I wonder if it will be able to withstand the weight of all these things piled up...

B: The windows are bolted down securely! ...but that doesn’t seem to concern Fukawa-san. She has manuscript papers pasted all over the window. Boo hoo. Note: Monokuma uses the word “しょぼーん” which is commonly associated with the kaomoji  (´・ω・`).

C: Placing books in front of the shower room means you can read during toilet time! You’re addicted to always learning. Note: I think there's a pun here but I don't know if it's intended. The word for reading is “dokusho” and the word for addict is “chuudokusha”.

D: At first glance, it may look like a rose in a vase, but it is actually an air freshener stick. She’s confessed to hating baths, so she has to be careful about the smell.

Genocider Sho’s Room Check!

Fukawa-san's Room Edition

This is the room of the woman I share my body with! A pungent smell of no libido! Perfect for a sullen faced, nail-biting, gloomy introvert! Kyehahaha!!

Checkpoints: A: There are so many books at my feet... It will get in the way when Byakuya-sama is brought over! Clean it up a bit!

B: I must be nearsighted, writing all these small letters little by little in such a dark place. As I thought, this woman is weird! I need to bathe in the light of passionate love!

C: Wait! There’s no sign of it being used recently! I could end up in bed with Byakuya-sama at any moment, so I have to at least take a bath!

D: Ah! A green and white bouquet. It’s specifically for weddings! Wait for me, Byakuya-sama! I’ll grab this now and dive into your body!

(Back to Monokuma)

Oogami-san's Room Check

The strongest primate is the ogre... this is Oogami-san’s room. It makes it clear if you end up killing each other, she won’t let you get away with it. But please don’t destroy the room.

Checkpoints: A: For tile splitting demonstrations, usually they use tiles that are easier to break. But Oogami-san’s tiles are the real deal. Note: Tile splitting is the same thing as board breaking in martial arts.

B: Excuse me... Of course, it’s okay to do training in your room, but there’s no need to drill holes in the floor!? Someone will have to repair it.

C: This is Ogami-san’s uniform. I don’t really get a chance to see her wearing this. How about we go hand-to-hand again? Upupupu.

D: Seriously, this area is littered with broken tile debris too. This may cause the floor to collapse or leak, I don’t know!

Celesomething-san's Room Check (This is how Monokuma refers to Celeste)

The dark interior gives off a sense of immorality and makes me super thrilled! Since all students received a private room, it would be pointless to not enjoy it this much.

Checkpoints: A: The dresses on the mannequin torsos are changes of clothes. The short-sleeved frilled one and the bustier style look good together, don’t you think?

B: Umm... is Celesomething-san planning to sleep here forever? Of course, I have no intention of interfering with personal hobbies and preferences.

C: Oh my! A goth lolita costume’s cat! It is cute, but you can’t compete with me, who is both cute and a little mean.

D: The desk is full of makeup supplies. The brush size and type, how to use different sprays, these are things boys don’t understand.

Enoshima-san's (Mukuro’s) Room Check

Ah, what a shame! Enoshima-san is a charismatic high school girl! Even if you aren’t interested, just play a character! Seriously, what a shame!

Checkpoints: A: Oops, I forgot to bring pink sheets for this girls’ room. She doesn’t seem to mind though.

B: Everyone is treated equally, so the windows in Enoshima-san’s room are completely blocked off too. I hope you enjoy your killing game school life to the fullest.

C: Saying you can’t sleep if you change your pillow is what a coward who is completely immersed in a comfortable life would say. You have to live in the environment you’re given. Note: "I can't sleep when the pillow changes" just means that you can't do something if it's not to your liking. It's not usually a metaphor but here it is used like one, while also being literal.

D: You guys all agreed to meet in the dining hall, but it’s okay if you seclude yourself here and eat, you know? Eating alone isn’t that bad, right?

[saphig-iawn]

❗❗❗ Mommy Domme Checkpoint ❗❗❗

Mommy has noticed you've been scrolling for quite some time and you know that Mommy cares about all her pretty subs so be a good girl and do these for Mommy:

1. Make sure you stay hydrated. If you're not sure if you're thirsty then make sure you at least have a glass of water nearby for when you are, Mommy doesn't want you to get dehydrated.

2. If you're hungry, have something to eat. With so many cute subs, Mommy knows the dangers of eating when you're bored, so if you're here around when you'd eat make sure you do.

3. If you've been sat down for a while, stand up and stretch for Mommy, go for little walk around your space, and get your cute little self moving.

4. Take a look of what you've accomplished so far today. Mommy is so proud of you for being to able to set out and do something, no matter how small! Mommy knows how bad days can feel, so know Mommy is so proud!

If you've done all 4, then good job, Mommy is so proud of you! Now be a good girl and thank Mommy for stopping by and making sure you're okay and doing your best 💖💖💖

[feralkwe]

STOP SCROLLING!

this is a hydration checkpoint. go drink some water.

done?

carry on.

[putuponpercy]

Traintober midway checkpoint!

How're we holding up, lads? Remember to take plenty of breaks, keep hydrated and do some stretches if you've been hunched over your work area for a while 🙏 ✨💖

[olderthannetfic]

https://www.tumblr.com/olderthannetfic/733564935597178880/pet-peeve-though-not-a-fandom-one-hydration?source=share

I'm seeing a few people in the notes saying that self care checkpoints are helpful to them, but this is just so bizarre to me. The idea that I would stop what I'm doing and go get a glass of water because some rando in shout chat or a babytalk author's note told me to is just utterly foreign.

My phone is chock full of alarms to remind me about pretty much every daily task, and I leave sticky notes all over my kitchen and bathroom for the same. But that's just not the same as having some stranger try to interupt what you're doing and tell you to take a piss.

--

Oh, I'm not surprised these things are sometimes helpful.

But for them to be helpful, you need to already be failing at setting up a system that will work in the long term. And that means you're failing 99% of the time because only the occasional note from strangers will hit at the right moment.

It's another "Let's all send warm socks to the disaster zone!"

[disgruntled-lifeform]

Tour-de-Fleece checkpoint!

Time to stop and stretch, your legs and ankles, your wrists and shoulders as well as your neck are all problem areas if over worked so treat them kindly and remember to take breaks.

Remember to hydrate and it's a marathon not a sprint!

[zzencat]

Hello, I'm here for your free reading game. The emoji that represents me is 🥺, my sun sign is Sagittarius and my initials are RR. Sorry if they're kind of weird, but my questions are:

1. Should I do Chemistry and Physics next year rather than Biology and Chemistry?

2. What are my future husband's physical characteristics?

Thanks!

RR with pouty face emoji hey!! fellow stem student hell yeah! this is the news i have for you:

- if you do chem + physics, it looks like your fam will be very impressed and happy about it. your financial status is also going to be improving throughout the year! you’re going to do very well actually!! get ready for the heat (literally). there’s gonna be a lot of movement, hella action; make sure you’re prepped for that! any important masc or fem energies will be satisfied and you as well. you’re gonna feel fearless and you’ll lead by example, maybe even inspiring others! all will go well for you. you’re building up to have long term success :)

- also make sure you’re tackling your stress as you go, leave checkpoints and times to rest or you’ll have times where things will blow up (like your assignments, stress, and your emotions.) it’s good to have an occasional release somewhere in your schedule

- the cards don’t recommend chem + bio. though you’re going to be offered new opportunities, jobs, internships, it’s gonna be a little tighter and more strict next year. you could spend more time alone than intended.

future husband characteristics:

damn so your future husband is very SMART- i think you’ll bump into him while you’re pursuing your education. could be a mentor as well or someone more experienced in the field(s). more laidback and chill than you though. also messier and maybe clumsier than you. like the type to shuffle a pile of paper and mess it up bc he wasn’t trying that hard, so will *softly sigh* and pick it up again. there’s a lethargic vibe to him, and he could be from a similar culture or same race. very smart and action oriented though. he makes a good leader and shares his knowledge/guides his team very well and coordinately. gets his ideas across effectively and cohesively. he might be from a foreign country, or at some point you’ll get to message this guy. he might also be introverted, like the tall, big, shy type. truthful and can be blunt. might have a “done with life” look— might also look dead and tired at times. it doesn’t mean he doesn’t wanna talk to you! he has high standards and very clear mental clarity.

thank you RR!! good luck and rmr to hydrate yourself often next year! i hope this clears up things for you 😸
