Hate it when my actions (letting the summer camp kids use glitter) have consequences (having to clean up glitter)

What do you struggle with the most when it comes to making an OC?
(Mine is giving them a name. Like..... I would create a cool looking character with some personality but then, I don't know what to name them. I'm even struggling with that as we speak.)
design, absolutely design. a lot of the time i have a name / personality / role / backstory for them Before knowing what they look like. coming up with a physical look to go with the character is a bitch & a half lol
#name is tough tho! i feel your struggles!#if i may offer some advice - coming from someone who has crafted literally hundreds of brain guys#ask yourself what their vibe is#like... do you think their name is short? do they seem like someone with a long name? an abbreviated name like A.J?#maybe they look like someone whose name starts with 'h'#look up h names and go from there#or another method is a bit tougher but hey it kinda works#clear your mind and look at the character#the first name that pops into your head is often the best choice#or yk... just sit there thinkin about them! maybe they're like. idk a bird#bird > birdie > birdly > billie#billie the bird!#ALSO LOOK UP BABY NAMES#there are sooooo many lists#you can look up lists with specific amount of letters. starting with [insert letter of your choice]. names with nicknames.#male. female. unisex. myth-based. animal based. plant based.#THERE'S A LIST OF NAMES FOR EVERYTHING I PROMISE#rambles from the bog#for example w/ my puppet sundown summer#i chose her name bc her color palette reminds me of a sunset & she has western inspiration & she's from a kid's show#so her name would be alliterative & sound cowboy-ish. sundown is more western than sunset#and then throw on the summer for the alliteration & friendly feel - kids automatically have positive associations with summer#see what i mean?#or take my murder man Aces - he's named after the diamond patterns on his body#(i associate the word ace with the ace of diamonds playing card)#or uhhhh i have a talking cat character named bartholomew#named so because i think it would be funny for this little talking cat to have a long & 'haughty' name that's also a cat pun. 'mew'#see there's no one way to go about it!!!#there's lots of methods and none of them are wrong!!#good luck and have fun my guy!

I think camp half blood should have stained glass classes. They’re only for the older (15+) campers, and you have to sort of “prove” that you won’t be a fucking moron with the glass or machinery or anything, but it’s generally open for any camper interested.
Probably Apollo/Hephaestus run, maybe with kids of Demeter and Athena and Tyche to help with design aspects (idk, I feel like kids of tyche are good at art because a lot of their “fuck it I’m gonna do it and see how it goes” ideas tend to work out because. Innate luck powers FTW.) and at the end of the day, the studio room is sparkling with rainbow reflections and slashes of color every which way from the stained glass hanging everywhere.
Some kids bring theirs home to mortal family. Some kids opt to sell their pieces in the camp shop for some extra spending money. Some kids give them to Chiron to sell alongside the strawberries.
Annabeth makes a piece for Chiron to hang in the window. It sparkles red and pink and purple like a sunset in the big house living room at all hours of the day - reminiscent of when Annabeth and Chiron watched a sunset on the porch her very first day at camp, when she was shivering and traumatized and trying so, so hard to hide her tears.
A piece blessed by Apollo himself hangs in the meager infirmary window, just behind the desk the Apollo kids set up as a check-in zone. Sitting in it’s light cures minor aches and pains. Sometimes, people will come upstairs for help and find Nico di Angelo sprawled out like a black cat, basking in the beautiful brass-gold sun patch. The stained glass itself, a sunburst shape with a spiral in the center, twinkles.
Someone, an anonymous camper who refuses to come forward, made Mister D a beautiful rendition of a spilling wine glass, with delicate grapes lining the stem. Mister D hates it so much, he puts it in the dining pavilion, so everyone has to see it.

hmm i have like, 500-600 taiwan dollars leftover in a tin from the last time i visited relatives... i wonder what would happen if i just handed it to my little cousins like. "yep. here is gift. have fun."
#i heard them trying to sound out 'eidelweiss' on the piano so i've also been thinking of giving them this little music box i bought#a while back that plays eidelweiss. put it in little box with money and letter that is like. 'hello. cousin cares about you.'#'but cousin is awkward and has bad hearing and speaking skills. anyway here's some money and a music box for you.'#i checked n it's like the equivalent of almost 20 usd so like. that's an appropriate gift for nine-year-olds i think#today at work i was cutting glow sticks in half for our craft and i was not wearing any gloves so i got minor chemical burns <3#like part of the skin on my thumb n pointer finger got bleached so i went around n showed alllll the kids#like. 'hey. check out my chemical burn. this is why we wouldn't let you guys cut open the glow sticks yourselves.'#'because it will do This to you if you touch them too long. this is why we had you wash your hands when you finished.'#n some of them were like 'just wash it off' n i was like. 'it is a chemical burn. it is on my skin.'#at least i Think it was a chemical burn but i mean it was very minor (makes sense bc it's just glow sticks) so the skin's flaked off by now#similar happens when i touch my hair bleach w/o gloves so i'm Pretty Sure it was chemical burns#we had a table of kids who were speaking cn to each other so at some point i pieced together they didn't seem to pay attn. bc low en skills#anyway i broke my own rule abt no phones at work to look up 'chemical burns' in cn for them bc although they know i speak Some cn#(by giving them minor instructions for the glow stick craft) i was like. 'chemical burns... how to say....'#apparently they are mostly from taiwan which is fun i love it when i Don't receive microaggressions for writing in traditional c':#today's my only camp shift for the week tho... one of my coworkers died last week so i told my boss i could pick up his camp shifts#if no one else had but apparently i'd go over hours this week... feelsbad man. it's summer + we're always understaffed#so there's gonna be a point when the front desk worker is gonna be covering the camps for a little bit which is. i feel bad ahaha#the worm speaks

Literally so exhausted from today and having family for thanksgiving
My one cousin’s kids are completely out of control, luckily my other cousin’s are better, although still young kids and the five of them together in my house is giving me (and my dad and sister and mom even though she won’t admit it) a huge headache. Like yes they’re family but I wish they’d respect that this is our house and there are rules and not to leave mountains of their things in every room. (Also my poor cats are terrified)
Also a day of walking a historical site with 5 kids including 4 under 7 years old is a lot.

do people really think jewish summer camps exist to prop up zionism 😭 it's just sleepaway camps where you can still practice judaism because we have dietary restrictions, they're not even necessarily religious in nature. like i cannot emphasize how little indoctrination goes on you just play sports and do crafts.
