The Traveler's Journal
Day One Part 6 | <Prev • Next> | Word Count: 559 words
The pair cross the bridge, talk to the Knights at the entrance, and finally reach the gates of Mondstadt. There, they met Amber, who welcomed them.
“Let me officially introduce the city of wind, dandelions, and freedom--” Amber said, beaming with pride. “Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius -- Welcome to Mondstadt!”
The traveler and her companion turned to each other.
“Finally, no more having to camp outdoors!” Paimon smiled and then turned back to Amber. “But… the city folk don’t look too cheery.” “Everyone’s been put out of place by Stormterror recently,” Amber explained. “But everything will turn out fine as long as Jean’s with us!” “Jean?” Paimon asked. “Acting grand master of the Knights of Favonius -- Jean, Defender of Mondstadt. With Jean on our side, surely even the vicious Stormterro will be no match for us.”
Jean sounds pretty impressive. I hope one of them knows something about the God of Anemo.
“Before I take you guys to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, I have a present for you, Jaylenth.” “Oh? For me?” “Yes. It’s a reward for helping me clear out that hilichurl camp.” “He-Hey! Why doesn’t Paimon get a reward?”
Jaylenth side-eyed her guide. Hmm, did you help at all Paimon? Despite thinking this at Paimon rather aggressively, Paimon failed to notice the look she was being given.
“Ahh… Because this reward is useless to you, Paimon. But I’ll treat you to a traditional Mondstadt delicacy -- Sticky Honey Roast.”
Hearing the mention of food, Paimon turned to the traveler and celebrated. “Sticky Honey Roast!”
Amber turned back to Jaylenth, addressing her once again. “Come with me, we’ll head to the city’s ahh… high ground.”
The traveler followed Amber through the city of Mondstadt. The trio walked up some stairs, passing an important-looking building with a symbol. Up some more stairs there was a Tavern and restaurant on the left, and what looked to be a souvenir shop on the left.
“This used to be a bustling street… But with so many Stormterror attacks recently, the usual crows are nowhere to be seen.” “Huh.”
The traveler walked over to the lady standing outside the maybe souvenir shop.
“My name is Majorie. Welcome. Every treasure here is unique, so we don’t negotiate on the price, nor do we give refunds.” “Could I browse your items?” The traveler asked. “My, this is unfortunate. The shop’s been undergoing renovations recently.” “I see.” The traveler said, the wind leaving her sails. “Drop by next time. Our products will never disappoint!”
Amber, who had been waiting a bit ahead, continued walking and talking after the pair caught up with them.
“So I take it that all the businesses are struggling then?” Jaylenth asked. “All except for the local tavern near the city wall over there. They haven’t been affected. If anything, their business is better than ever.”
They continued walking and passed a few more stores and took a left at the fountain. As they approached more stairs Jaylenth heard a lady say, “Oh? Are you interested in going on an adventure?” However, as the traveler followed Amber she never saw who said it. As they approached HQ a large man in uniform standing near the doors said “Haha! Welcome to the adventurer’s Guild!” Jaylenth spared a wave at the man and then entered the Knights of Favonius’ Headquarters.

#blessings roll call!#feel free to hop in the tags or replies <3#started my new job this week-- working as a PT tech at a rehab clinic#that training is going well and it's such a blessing to not have to be actively searching for a job during the semester#since I've got a very full class schedule trying to find time to apply and interview would be a nightmare rn#so grateful that got done literally right before the semester picked up#and now I can focus on learning the job. also praise that all my coworkers are kind and patient.#school is going better than expected. there's a lot to do but so far I'm doing really well in all my classes#and singing in choir has been such a joy!#we have so many gorgeous pieces including a Sara Teasdale poem arranged for chorale#it sounds heavenly! the solo is lovely and the alto part is a lot of sustained notes that come together with the other parts to make this#insane almost organ-like sound#got to chat with my bestie today at my other job which was good#homemade soup!#food in general actually. The first week or two of the semester I was subsisting on nothing or junk food#and got to the point where I was starting to feel like crap and went grocery shopping#I've been bringing meals to college and work the last 2 weeks and it's made such a difference!#and I missed eating vegetables and actually getting protein so now I have nutrient-dense meals and it's great#actually getting close to enough sleep and it's been great#talked to my grandparents about visiting over Christmas break and they're down so I might be going to see them soon!#hanging out with my sister a bit more now that we drive to school together#despite being super busy it's been a good month. ups and downs but overall the best September I've had in a while#prayer request-- the one thing I haven't been consistent with is my quiet times.#definitely struggling in that area right now. please pray I can spend time in worship and prayer and study even when I don't feel like it <#college chronicles#journal

past me would be rolling in her fucking grave if she found out that present me is the kind of math nerd who loves doing calculus
#IM GETTING MORE ENJOYMENT FROM DOING MATH THEN I EVER HAVE FROM ANY OF MY ART CLASSES. GOOD GOD#im giddy solving derivatives rn#can't believe I'm a math and physics nerd this is insane#ALSO GUESS WHAT#so I'm taking physics as a summer class right#i thought it was regular physics#but APPARENTLY its engineering physics (which is fine I need that for my degree)#and engineering physics needs calc 2 (which I have) and general/highschool physics (which I haven't done) as prereqs#SO NOW IM GONNA HAVE TO TRY AND CRAM AND STUDY AGAIN#I've been doing okay in the classes so far thankfully#but my surprise when I walked into class and the prof started talking like “you all know this already right”#no actually#I don't know how this happend#I think it's because I'm not taking it at MY college I'm taking it at my local community college#and so they just didn't ask for prereqs. they didn't ask for any proof at all they just took my money and let me enroll#incredible how I keep winding up in these situations#lilac post

I SWEAR I KEEP TRYING TO DO ART BUT THEN SOMETHING GETS IN THE WAY AND THEN I PROCRASTINATE AND THEN SIX MONTHS PASS
#this has been happening for like TWO YEARS BUT I SWEAR TO GOD I AM TRYING.#my usual art motivation (my webcomic idea) has been put on hold for a bit and because of that i forgort... everything#my will to draw specifically#but in my defense i have been writing k*arlach / oc indulgences and i've been VERY focused on finishing it#i also got a marketing manager (my friend <3) to help with advertising my comms and stuff so uh... look forward 2 that#i might need to start posting all of my art on a sideblog so she doesn't have to log into my main though#so there might be some changes#but i promise i want to do art!!!! but there's always something to do first and then months pass :(#or i get the urge to draw and then life is like ''have a cancer scare'' lmao...#(ended up being cancerous actually </3 but because it's skin stuff it was easy to remove)#(but that really took the piss out of me for most of july... not to mention that ffxiv released a new expansion and i have been...#having a good time with my new friends doing content and stuff!) i also made a friend irl after like 3-4 years of total isolation#we feed ants and watch them move around together and comment on their behaviour patterns...#but like when i say this takes literal hours.#we just sit out there and talk about random shit and watch ants walk across the floor. both of us hate ants btw.#like we don't like having them ON us so it's a bit like playing with fire.#but anyways yeah i've also been really low energy recently too bc of the heat and burnout from college...#but the good news is that i'm transferring in fall to a much more relaxing college & courseload!#i'm hoping it'll stop me from feeling so... awful ?? i guess ??#like i was taking classes i didn't need to that were really difficult & punishing#not to mention extremely boring & hard to pay attention to when dealing with literally anything. i did not want to be there.#my next college is much more interest-oriented so i will finally be able to take classes i want to and learn from them...!#and then maybe i will feel a bit more in control of my life / more encouraged to draw#anyways thank u for reading my ramble. hoping it all comes together soon.#i need to do a lot of work but most of it is so i can sell commissions again#but once the karlach fic is done we're so back on the webcomic train !!!!!!!!

musings on insects, isolation, and how much can change when you're not looking
#i started this like a month ago#and finished it today because i was laughing at how much the sentence 'i'm going bug hunting with my partner' would kill pre-college me#but yeah. i'm still learning to accept that i'm not alone anymore.#learning to love insects was easy. it's a lot harder to learn to love myself#in the wise words of a fic my friend wrote: it sucks so bad sometimes. but even when it sucks it's better.#personal#insects#also all of the scenes in the middle two pages are specific memories that have contributed the most to why neither of those things are true#1. meeting my partner in an entomology class i took on a whim#2. the fateful 8 hour dnd conversation on a field trip for that class that started our friendship#3. trip to a museum (i also could have drawn the part of that trup where i got to hold a cockroach but i don't have a picture of it)#(and i really like that picture of her)#4. seeing a cockroach on the way to class and both of us yelling 'oh my god a little guy!'#5. working at an insect collection together (oh god the things our boss has probably heard)#6. seeing a boxelder bug on the way to see a movie together (we always saw insects when we spent time together)#7. seeing fireflies for the first time when i visited her over the summer :D

yk that military kid camp i went to? gone for like a week? there were so many homeschooled kids it was crazy. and people that skipped grades. like a 14 yr old is a junior and this 15 yr old is starting freshman in college. made me feel 1) dumb 2) better because i feel like i am inherently less awkward and less socially inept than the average homeschooled kid. i do feel bad a little bit. not a lot.
you are less socially inept than the average homeschool kid I promise. this includes me unfortunately. also don't worry about whether or not they're smarter than you I promise something is still wrong with them
#15 yr old freshman in college is probably just doing dual enrollment which I was SUPPOSED TO DO#but I was lazy and kept putting off taking the practice tests so now I'm a senior. and still haven't started dual enrollment#probably not going to#but yeah a lot of homeschoolers do dual enrollment bc supposedly? the first 2 years of college aren't really major specific#they're like. general classes everyone is required to take. so homeschoolers with flexible schedules have the time and ability#to take those during highschool. they also might just not be taking the highschool versions of those classes at all#like if you can do. entry level college biology or highschool biology well the college one is the same stuff but more in depth#so you don't need to take the highschool class#and then as for the 14 yr old junior well one homeschoolers tend to have less work#I don't really get homework because it's just schoolwork#like I just have to complete things on khan academy#and a lot of in school classroom time is just the teacher trying to manage 20 kids. which isn't a problem here#so I have like. 3-4 hours of schoolwork total in a day probably? you could totally backload more of it#to be finished quicker#anyway they're not any smarter than you they just do school differently in a way that sounds more impressive#but isn't gonna have that big of an effect later#finishing college 2 years early doesn't actually get you anything but your degree 2 years early#ask#ghoultaffy#hi jayme!

#fearandhatred#on the canvas syllabus for one of my modules our ta included pre-tutorial instructions to form groups and bring an item to share#but the thing is i have no way of reaching any of my tutorial classmates because i don't even know who the hell they are#and i missed the first tutorial which was on zoom anyway so like. useless#also we haven't had a face to face lecture in the past two weeks. the first time was because of chinese new year#but the second time our professor didn't even give a reason so like what the fuck#anyway i don't think it's that big of a deal because this isn't like a graded presentation just class participation at most#but idk whether the rest of my classmates have already formed groups if they know each other (none of my friends are taking this module)#so yeah i have been mildly nauseous for the past 2 days because of this. thanks prof#anyway the tutorial is today! in 12 hours. we will see how it goes. maybe i'll just derealise and then i won't feel anything <3#not giving af is not going well#hell week lol. goodnight#actually no fuck you there's a reason no other professor has ever done this and why it's always pre-allocated groups at the very least#how do you expect communication between students from like 500 different majors with no actual main communication channel#that is not how it works in our college bro i'm about to start insulting you in malay i'm so serious. bodoh

I was thinking, "yes I'll make a paypal today" but then i shrivelled away from it because it was one adult task too many for this week
#afternoon college class got cancelled so I headed home right after the first one and ended up doing some art#and played Hades but it would've been more fun if I didn't have some pending tasks#all of which I actually have plenty of time for#but I like to clear stuff up asap#idk I mostly talked to my friends & gamed & did the art after getting back#and some music & writing after I'm done vibing to music#just 2 college assignments which i'm going to properly work on this weekend (and even that would be early but that's good)#a 3rd assignment too but that's a group assignment and it's due in december & none of the groups have started on it anyway#we're VIBING minus the closet transness & dysphoria + undiagnosed whatever-the-fuck + fomo from having to avoid some fun stuff because of#the chronic pain (altho the last one isn't nearly as bad as the rest). that's 2½ major problems. we're vibing.

side note for everything tho I start work on monday and I’m so anxious I feel like I’m gonna pass out
#personal#it's not exactly negative but jfc I am so scared for so many reasons#1) what if I lose all my personal time#2) what if I discover that I'm so bad at my job that I can never make it in the field and I have to start over from scrath#scratch after 8 years of college and grad school#and all of that time was wasted#3) what if I ruin everything they've been working on this year and they hate me forever#4) what if my colleague who's in the same grad class as me and is also at this site does such a good job that even if I do an okay or even#mediocre job that I look like an unprepared dumbass who doesn't care about it in comparison#oh I guess this is#negative#I am Afraid!!!!!!!!!!#5) what if I actually /am/ just lazy and unprofessional like my last manager kept implying over and over and over

#vent#don't think i have seasonal depression but i hate the end of the school year being during spring#because then i have to think about the fact that i'm not even close to graduating#it took me 3 years to finish core classes because i kept failing and having to retake some due to procrastination that i feel is controllab#le but probably isn't and i think i have an underlying issue but i don't have a diagnosis. and i don't think i'm getting one anytime soon#because my sister is going to college next school year and our family is going to be short on spending money#and i feel guilty that it feels like im wasting my parent's money#whenever we visit family they always ask when i'm graduating and next year will be my fourth year but i'm not and i feel like a fucking#fool. and yes i see a lot of posts about college positivity and that it's a marathon not a race and that it takes everyone different#amounts of time to graduate but it does nothing if it feels like im wasting it all away over something i can easily control but what if#it's not that easy to control? i need a psychiatrist but the last time i tried to get an appointment they put me on a 6 week wait list that#i never heard from besides one call asking if i still wanted to be on it#and i can't go to my previous doctor anymore because i'm 21 now and have to go to the one my parents use#previous doctor told me i seem fine and didn't have anything wrong with me#and i feel like she's right#but this excessive procrastination didn't start until high school and where did everything go so wrong? why can't i complete school work in#a timely manner anymore? i was able to do it just fine in my first semester but ever since i went on a 2 day vacation it's all been downhil#and i can't seem to recreate the success of getting A's and B's that semester again

I finished my part of the haikyuu essay I was talking about yesterday (I wrote 8 pages) and when I went home I was like "yeah I don't want to see anything haikyuu related in a while, I want to recover after this essay".
Not even 2 hours later, I opened CSP to continue my akaashi drawing
#fr i'm so tired I've spent all my day in college#i had breakfast there#then I started working#went to one class#I ate there#I spent all my afternoon working in the library and when my girlfriend finished at 7 pm I walked home with her just to continue writing#BUT I FINISHED 2/5 FINAL PROJECTS#these 2 are for this friday and next monday#but the other 3 are for january/february so I can rest a bit before going back to that hell#angie's haven

an abled 16 year old doesn't just die from 'underlying health conditions'. a 61 year old maybe. and even if there were? they should have been picked up at the hospital. that was their job. and everyone else's job to make sure they got there so everything could be checked out. okay, the school fucked up? alright let's make 'nex's rule' and include it in your staff's next oh&s training so this doesn't happen again. just immature to try cover it up like this. what does this say to the girls who beat nex up?? they're still kids, impressionable, needing therapy but still capable of spending their lives doing better. you're gonna have to keep fucking up so badly for them not to take this as a lesson to never hurt anyone again. so sure, keep showing them that the thing to do is never take any responsibility it doesn't make you sound ridiculous at all
The media saying Nex died from a “fight,” rather than an attack, and the school saying they died from “underlying health conditions,” is just proof that we can get murdered and then blamed for dying.
#this reminds me so much of the murder of cassius in western australia#both of them literally the same age as my youngest sister#and i love that we're talking about it being an act of transphobia#but we need to recognise the Indigenous aspect too. Indigenous lives matter and clearly we need to be talking about that#twice in 2 years. that i know of. class of 2025. they should be starting apprenticeships/college in a year or two#and they would be!! if it were not for the same story. attacked. hospital didn't do shit too little too late. died the next day#i'm sorry it's quite easy to make sure a teenager with a head injury is gonna be okay. teens are tough. but people don't do their job
