[boredgrace23-gracepotts]

I loved all the fanart I received and making them my wallpaper on both my phone and laptop wasn't enough, so I made them into my banner. I'm gushing over them. I love them so much.

My take on Shishido's beta design as described by Yokoyama in the behind-the-scenes video from last week!

[kozachenko]

{Artists Note}:

I felt like doing a little illustration of Keiki because I had an idea for her outfit and I had a sketch I made of her a little while ago and wanted to use it since I'm kinda stuck on the border of being artblocked but having ideas at the same time ehhh it's werid moving on. I didn't add her little handkerchief thing on her head mainly because I couldn't figure out how to draw it right. This also served as some fun experimentation with my new style, the hair is personally my favourite pat of the drawing, along with the clothes. I just kinda gave up on making a background because I was tired lol. I wanna make a few more little sketches of keiki with the handkerchief in my hair since I think that's a really key part of her design and the only reason I'm unable to get that to look right is because of a ✨🎀 𝒮𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝐼𝓈𝓈𝓊𝑒🎀✨ (TM) on my part so yeah lol. I've probably been looking at this for too long anyway so, I should probably take a break from looking at this lol.

I imagine this outfit to kind of be what she would wear in a more formal setting, like, this is the one dress that she hasn't gotten dirty from crafting and stuff and she also has little earrings inspired by Kofun era jewelry. The outfit and bows are also kofun era inspired.

In case the suggestion doesn't feel right for that day, here are some alternatives (12 minutes or less, can also be used as add-ons). No shame in taking it slow! Let's move according to our needs! :) nightime flexibility stretches // bedtime yoga stretch to release stress & tension // 8 min beginner's ballet flexibility. // 10 min | Beginner Belly Dance Workout | Slow & Smooth Tutorial // 15 min Gentle Pilates Workout For Beginners

just a head's up: while I hesitate to call hiatus of any kind bc I want to give myself the freedom to write when I have the energy/focus/etc., I will just note that I'm gonna be even slower than usual around here for... idk, probably for a bit. I'm in the worst state mentally that I think I've ever actually been in and it's uhhhh. it's not great lmao. writing is my main escape & distraction so I don't want to step away from it but doing anything is hard as fuck rn so I'm really not interested in pressuring myself to get shit done when it comes to the hobby I'm supposed to be having fun with. I'll be slow, I'll be selective, and it's possible I'll be dropping a lot of drafts?? maybe?? OR at least like. temporarily removing a bunch from my drafts (to be added back later) just so the number is less big & overwhelming lmao.

thank u guys for ur patience w me & for writing w my glittery lil creature, I appreciate u all sm 💜

Did I just scream at a fictional character to stop smiling?

Yes I did. And you will never guess who. /s

(I'll let y'all guess anyways, even though it's obvious who- :3 I'll leave hints in the tags)

Thiefguard snippet that'll hopefully be the beginning of a fic some day. For now I don't know where to go with it and think it's pretty cute on its own.

            Garrus tugged on his red silk cuff. This shirt was way too expensive for him, what was he even doing?

            As passerbys walked out of the inn he smiled nervously at them before glancing around the street.

            “She’s almost here,” a guard called down from the wall.

            “Thank you.” He attempted to smooth his hair but it was already pulled back into a low ponytail so he returned to fidgeting with his cuff.

            There came a loud creak of the gate opening.

            Gaze snapping to it, Garrus took in a deep breath, heart racing, nerves spiking.

            “Thank you!” chirped Lecrinn’s voice before she walked through the gate with a skip in her step and a smile that seemed to glow.

            Seeing her, his nerves calmed, held breath coming out a happy sigh.

            Seeing him, she stopped, smile dropping in surprise. “Garrus! You dressed up.”

            He frowned down at the fine clothes. “I know, I look ridiculous.”

            “No, you’re fine! You’re um,” she glanced away, cheeks reddening, “looking fine actually.”

            His eyes turned up, brows raising. Seeing her blush, he looked off with a grin and blush of his own.

my fucking god today was horrible. i don't necessarily think he was a bad guy aside from the misogynistic takes. he was just too much to deal with for. 10 hours. way too fucking much. he doesn't believe in silence. he felt like he needed to talk the entire time. he would beat the same one topic into the ground for 30 minutes, even if i would go quiet, signaling my disinterest in continuing the conversation. he kept trying to pressure me into talking politics with him even tho i explicitly told him that I didn't discuss politics at work. and then,

when we slightly veered into a certain topic, he proved precisely why i dont by misrepresenting what i was saying and wouldn't drop it even when i tried to shut down the conversation. he kept questioning me for not laughing at his jokes that i obviously didn't find funny- i was doing more than enough from my part by giving him a polite smile and when he did get a little bit of a chuckle out of me he would beat the joke like a dead horse. i swear i dont think he's a bad guy but he's ridiculously annoying. he would NOT allow me moments of silence. he would almost demand responses from me everytime he spoke. and then whenever i would go silent he would pretty much guilt me by saying that it was better having a codriver that he could talk to because otherwise he gets sleepy and would pull over and take naps throughout the route which would clearly prolong the day and just UGH. i could barely make posts because he required so much of my attention. everytime I'd grab my phone he'd be talking which was constantly and he'd go "you're not even paying attention." which made me feel bad until toward the end of the route when i got super agitated from the heat and being hungry because he was barely making stops so i started ignoring him. i had to annoy him about stopping just so that i could use the bathroom- cue an hour long rant about how using the bathroom is natural and he has no problem stopping for people to use the bathroom when uhhhh hello???? you made me wait hours before we stopped anywhere because of the schedules???? and when we did stop it was because YOU were thirsty! my god, i thought the old dude annoying me about my ex was bad but at least he gave me a break this was CONSTANT For 10 fucking hours straight! i wanted to just scream WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR 5 MINUTES?!?!? at one point. oh and apparently someone told him that he's the funniest guy at the station and he made that my problem???? he was trying to make me laugh which is not a problem but if you see that your jokes don't work on me after a few tries, GIVE IT UP! he wouldn't fucking let it go and after a while I stopped giving him polite smile even because i felt like that would be enough of a deterrent. it's not my job to coddle your fucking ego anyway. not once did i think he was funny. he said some stuff that made me chuckle because it was like "did he really just?" and that's IT- God! I'm so FUCKING IRRITATED- I could've bitten him by the end of the route if didn't have this much self restraint. OH and he tried to make me join in on the following debate with him "abortion is worse than slavery" SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. and he wouldn't drop it I SHIT YOU NOT- FOR 19 FUCKING MINUTES I COUNTED. i never and i mean NEVER want to fucking ride with him again. it was a nightmare.
