Blank TWST Logos / Character Icons
Individuals + guide tips for how to use them under the cut!
( Please tag (@) me if you use them for a post; I really wanna see what everyone makes ^^ )
Just like with the blank Birthday Boy Card templates I made, I decided I wanted blank ones for these...whatever these icons are called. So I made them!
And again, like before, please tag (@) me if you end up using them!
First of all!
Here's two transparent ones, so you can sandwhich your drawing layer between them without fearing messing up the frame.
I added two because not all drawing programs understand the whole 'transparency' thing with pasted images, and will make any transparent part of an image black, which would kinda ruin it
So with the white you can just remove the color. Or alternatively, since I made the frame with a pixel tool, while it might be time-consuming, you can still remove all the white by hand without messing up the frame at all
I made two for Heartslabyul, so you can either have a Card Soldier one, or just a blank one
With the details on Octavinelle and Pomefiore's, I suggest copying them, placing them to the side and covering up the holes with the background color, so you can place them wherever you'd like once you're done with your own drawing
So you don't have to work around where I placed them 👍
And if you want differently-shaped bubbles, the bubble color is the same grey as in the frame
The Scarabia one is sadly pretty empty :/ but meh, they didn't give me a lot to work with, and I wasn't gonna add something 'just because'
Bright blue one is obviously Ramshackle. I have a feeling people are gonna get a lot of use out of that one haha
And the NRC Staff ones are...a bit of a special case. They're all slightly different, but it seems the general theme is grey background with some sort of beige pattern. I just used the square as a placeholder so you can eye-drop the color
I also added Vargas and Crewel's ones by comparison, kinda like a 'this is what it could look like' thing
And here's a Noble Bell College one, too. Just because I could
If there was any kind of RSA one, or if Fellow Honest had one, I would 100% have added them.
Actually, please let me know if they do somehow have them, and I just missed it!
Anyway bye!! ^^👋

People are attracted to villains who are similar to themselves — but only when they are fictional. New research suggests that people are attracted to negative versions of themselves, so long as their self-concept is not under threat. x
Oh.
Fictional stories of villains may provide a safe haven for you to explore a darker side of your personality. This sense of safety may come from the fact that there is a psychological distancing between you and the villain. x
OH.
Sigmund Freud believed that no matter how civilized we are, no matter how much we have developed our conscience, ego and superego, our id is still there, and we have certain wish fulfillment for our undisciplined id to get pleasure and wish for selfish things. (...) For me, that will be impossible because I’m too nice and too much of a pushover, but there’s a part of us that empathizes with the villain because in some sectors of life and of our relationships, we are the villain. x
OHHH??
“Our research suggests that stories and fictional worlds can offer a ‘safe haven’ for comparison to a villainous character that reminds us of ourselves,” said Rebecca Krause, a PhD candidate at Northwestern University and lead author on the paper. “When people feel protected by the veil of fiction, they may show greater interest in learning about dark and sinister characters who resemble them.” x
Oh, good god I am way more messed up psychologically than I thought.

Hi everyone, I wanted to write a quick update to you guys :)
I made this blog in March of 2021. At the time, I followed my first math course on fractals and dynamics, and had just discovered a tool to make my own awesome fractals. This blog started out as a place to share the art I was making as a coping mechanism during covid, but as I quit making them after a few months, this blog died pretty quickly. In 2022, I decided to start posting regularly again (mostly just shitposts though), just so that the effort I put into this blog wouldn't go to waste.
Then, in the beginning of this year, I started writing my thesis. I posted one (1) shitpost about him (my well-known and popular son), and got 10s of thousands of notes. Every morning I would wake up to another crowd of people who loved the graphs, or were baffled by them, and I got showered in asks to elaborate on him.
Truth be told, 2023 has been a very heavy year for me. A lot of things happened in my personal life, and I lost a dear friend to suicide. It became so difficult for me to keep writing on my thesis, and the project that should have been finished in June this year has now been taking 4 months too many. My mental health has suffered greatly, I haven't been able to take any breaks, and life has just been generally difficult. I have spent nights not being able to sleep because I wanted to finish my bachelor's thesis so bad, but my supervisors would keep demanding more work, more edits, and more drafts. At some point, I even considered quitting my studies and finding a job.
The community has helped me to keep going. Mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike who sent me genuinely interested questions, made me laugh in the notes, created fanart (??? I'm still baffled by this but the people who did this are the coolest in the world) and generally made me feel for the first time that mathematics isn't a universally hated subject. On some days, the only reason I was able to keep going and the only thing keeping me from experiencing burn-out was the support I got through this blog.
Today, 10/12/2023, I turned in my thesis. Thank you so much for your support!
#my sickly son#math#literally thank you guys so much#this isnt a goodbye or anything its just me being sentimental lmao#ill be able to start posting about other things in the future#probably less things about my sickly son and more idk fun stuff about dynamics/fractals/probability#maybe ill get into fractal art again now that i have the time#right now past me is drafting this after one of the lowest days ive experienced in a few months#just as a reminder that i will be able to post this at some point and i will be done and i will be able to call myself BSc#disclaimer the supervisors did ask for more work but it was also bc my thesis just Was Not That Good for a long while#had to fix a looooooooot of mistakes#no shade on them i love my supervisors a lot

Hicvember 21: Fav Fandom
Believe it or not, I actually had some trouble figuring out what to write for before I abruptly remembered what my profile pic is.
As I warned you all yesterday, this is, in fact, the silliest shit I've ever written in my life. Bear that in mind before reading.
Content: Pokemon, Non-humanoids with hiccups, Cartoony nonsense, being a furry on main.
The GBC, Galar Broadcasting Corporation, presents Pokemon Earth.
Hiccups
Ashenbough: Hello. I'm Professor David Ashenbough. With me as always is field researcher Steve Rowan.
Rowan: G'day mates!
Ashenbough: And this is Pokemon Earth. Hiccups. All humans experience them. But strangely enough, all Pokemon do as well, despite branching out far beyond the mammalian in nature. To what extent and in what way they experience them is as varied as the Pokemon themselves, so Steven and I will be taking a look at some of them today. As always, the first half of our program will feature Pokemon both domestic and wild who have agreed to be on the show, while the second half will feature...attempted candid shots of Pokemon in their natural habitats.
Rowan: Now let's get right into–HICCUP!–it!
...
Ashenbough: Here we see a nest of Marill and Azumarill. Though this stream looks placid, beneath the surface the water runs swift and roiling. In spite of this, you can see these water mice and rabbits swimming upstream and playfully splashing both one another and our hapless camera people.
A POV camera is swum up to by a Marril which then turns around and uses its large, round tail to splash water on the camera.
Rowan: That's 'cause this lovely blue fur of theirs produces natural oils that repel water, making it easier for them to swim through currents, or even bounce along the river's bed! Now! Speaking of bouncing, we have here a nice little group of bubblers and some very very spicy pokeblocks. Here you go, little mates!
A group of Marill and Azumarill gather and nibble at the pokeblocks. Though some immediately run off, others start eating even more quickly.
Ashenbough: Hmm. It seems we have a few here who take quite well to this spiciness.
Rowan: Careful with those ones. Pokemon who like spice tend to be on the strong side! Now remember, even friendly Pokemon like these little guys can be dangerous. And the Marill family specifically is one you don't wanna underestimate! You never know when one of these round little fellas is actually hiding some huge power!
One Azumarill pauses in its eating, then squeaks loudly, bouncing up into the air as it does.
Rowan: Whoa! And speaking of huge power! You okay, little guy?
The Azumarill nods, though it's rapidly bounced again.
Rowan: These fellas got lungs that can hold onto air for hours at a time, so makes sense they got some powerful diaphragms to go with it! And this big girl seems like she knows the move Bounce pretty well! Not surprising, since they can learn it before they get tough enough to evolve.
Ashenbough: While the stronger Azumarill demonstrates her admirable elasticity and buoyancy, the Marills which have not yet trained enough to evolve demonstrate a far less chaotic but no less cute reaction.
The camera focuses in on a pair of Marills, both of which are hiccuping small clusters of bubbles, though one is still trying to eat more pokeblocks around them.
Rowan: Cute, it's true! But be careful! Not all bubbles are safe to pop. You can tell that this little guy's actually using bubblebeam 'cause his are glowing, but his friend's here should be safe.
Rowan pops the bubble over one Marill demonstratively, then steps back before throwing a rock at one of the glowing bubbles, which pops loudly, causing one Marill to jump into the water while the other continues eating. Even from under the water, bubbles rise up at regular intervals.
...
Ashenbough: That a mammalian Pokemon such as the Marill family can catch the hiccups is perhaps not all that surprising. More unusual are hiccups in those who more closely resemble reptiles.
Rowan: Here we've got a pair of performers from one of Galar's most popular Pokemon-fronted bands, Eddie and Michael the Toxtricities!
A pair of Toxtricity, one Amped, and one Low Key are visible. The Amped one is mugging for the camera as it chows down on bright red pokeblocks, while the Low Key one is lounging back on a couch, lazily tossing pokeblocks into the air and catching them in its mouth. The Low Key one is the first to start hiccuping, looking mildly surprised as its chest starts jolting and the four protrusions vibrate, creating the sound of a bass guitar. The Amped one sneers at the Low Key one, audibly laughing at it.
Rowan: Now, even though Low Keys are calmer, you oughta be careful around both types of Toxtricity. Just 'cause they aren't mad about it doesn't mean that a Low Key isn't liable to pick a fight. At least if an Amped one wants to fight, they'll let you know about it!
Ashenbough: Eddie clearly sees this as some sort of competition, though Michael doesn't seem interested in rising to the bait. With each of his hiccups, you hear the characteristic low register sound of a Low Key Toxtricity, greatly resembling the strum of a bass guitar. As it is now, those noises seem to have convinced Eddie that he's won, but hubris isn't always befitting of a rock star.
Abruptly, the Amped Toxtricity's laughter is cut off by a loud hiccup that judders the protrusions on its chest, making the sound of a wailing, screeching electric guitar. It begins rapidly hiccuping and making more screeching guitar sounds, and the Low Key Toxtricity smirks and chuckles between its own hiccups.
Ashenbough: Although both band members have their part in this duet, you would be forgiven for mistaking it for a solo by Eddie. As is often the case between strong egos, a performance of Dueling Guitars is never out of the question.
The Amped Toxtricity leaps at the Low Key one, which seems perfectly happy to indulge him in a fight, the two hiccuping loudly as they grapple, electricity and visible sweat spitting out of them as Rowan backs quickly away.
...
Ashenbough: Still in the realm of performance, we were approached by a friendly Mr. Mime who wanted some time in the spotlight herself, but refused our offer of pokeblocks.
A kantoan Mr. Mime is miming holding a bowl and rapidly stirring something in it. She then pours the invisible batter into nothing, mimes holding a baking pan and opening an oven before placing it in and crossing her arms, her foot tapping.
Rowan: What a talent she is! Mr. Mimes are tricksy, so you can never be sure whether they're doing their act, or if they've actually summoned up something invisible to work with, so never take the space in front of one for granted.
The Mr. Mime's ear twitches despite no obvious sound and she grins, opening the "oven" and reaching in before yanking her hand out and shaking it. She goes through a whole rigamarole of putting on "gloves" to get the "pan" and using "tongs" to remove the invisible nothing inside of it, blowing on it, and then popping it into her mouth. After chewing and swallowing, she stands still for a second, then jolts violently, her mouth opening and closing, but no sound coming out. She covers her mouth and jerks again, then a third time.
Ashenbough: It seems that our spicy pokeblocks weren't needed in this case. Although...it does beg the question. Steven, do you think that she actually has the hiccups?
The camera shows the Mr. Mime holding her breath and jolting before she exhales, pauses for a long second, then silently spasms again with a look of shock.
Rowan: ...honestly not sure, mate.
...
Ashenbough: And now we switch to our second segment. For the most part, we attempt to film wild Pokemon behaving candidly and do not try to interact with them. Here you'll see examples of Pokemon catching hiccups in their everyday lives without the assistance of extra spicy pokeblocks. Onto pre-filmed segments featuring Steve Rowan, with my commentary overlaid.
...
Rowan: Now here we see a Snorlax in her natural habitat: someplace that's as inconvenient as possible for her to be.
A Snorlax is visible in the middle of a bridge, currently lying on her stomach and yanking huge fistfuls of kelp and other river detritus out of the water and cramming them into her mouth.
Ashenbough: Nobody knows what draws Snorlax to areas that tend towards high foot traffic. There's a decent possibility that it's just where they're most often seen, for obvious reasons. Whether or not they prefer to be in the way, though, that's frequently where they end up.
Rowan: Now, maybe you look there and say "Arceus, that's a big girl!" And you're not wrong about that, but this lady's actually a bit on the petite side. We'll see if she's just got an unusually empty tummy or if she's just a dainty little thing once she's done having supper.
Ashenbough: Those of you familiar with this particular river might believe that this Snorlax's growth could be stunted by pollution, but while that is a problem the local environment is still dealing with, for Snorlax, it's no issue at all. A Pokemon that needs to eat nearly its body weight in food every day can't afford to be picky, especially with a body as weighty as a Snorlax, so their extremely omnivorous stomachs can handle even the most toxic of poison types, though they prefer food that isn't inclined to fight back.
Rowan: Hey editors, you'll probably wanna fast forward this part a Bergmite. When a Snorlax is asleep, the only thing you have to worry about is getting around the big bugger, but when it's awake and eating, any smart trainer'll stay the heck out of their way.
There's a brief montage of Rowan and various camera people fishing, getting B roll, and having a small Pokemon battle while the Snorlax continues eating in the background before the montage is abruptly stopped by a loud noise from the Snorlax.
Cameraperson (offscreen): What was that?
Ashenbough: It seems that a Snorlax's iron gut may not be quite immune to all ills.
The camera focuses on the Snorlax, who has stopped eating with a slight look of confusion. With a loud, deep grunt, she wobbles on top of her stomach, then does it again.
Rowan: Whoops! Looks like the sheila ate a little too fast there. Do we think she's gonna learn a lesson from it?
The Snorlax wobbles with a few more hiccups, then goes back to devouring from the river, still bouncing but ignoring them.
Rowan: Nope! Right back to work!
Ashenbough: Whether her hiccups were a factor in her decision we can't say, but it wasn't long after she caught them that this petite giant chose to go back to sleep. It seems that hiccups are one status effect that the move Rest can't cure.
The Snorlax lays on her back, still in the middle of the bridge, Snoring loudly and her massive gut bouncing with huge hiccups every few seconds.
Rowan: Like I said, once they're sleeping, they get so deep in that it's safe to even climb on 'em. Some people and Pokemon even like bouncing on their bellies. But in this case...
Rowan climbs up the Snorlax's arm, then hops onto her stomach between hiccups before being thrown into the air by her next hiccup. This happens a few times before he falls off on the same side he climbed up, looking mildly dizzy, but laughing.
Rowan: You might get a little more bounce than you bargained for!
...
Ashenbough: Many wouldn't expect an abandoned casino to be a place worth searching for Pokemon, but there are a large number of reasons it could be worth looking through.
Rowan: Right. If we find any ghosts of people's paychecks here, they might be on the nasty side, so we're gonna want to stay quiet and approach carefully if we approach at all.
A strange electrical sound is audible and Rowan motions for the camera people to be quiet. They slowly move in between old slot machines until they see a group of Porygon and Porygon2 all surrounding a single Porygon-Z whose head is repeatedly bouncing and spinning with noisy electrical hiccups.
Rowan (sotto voce): Ah! It's a zip of Porygons! You never see this many of 'em in most places, but since they're artificial and not found in the wild, unscrupulous casino runners would use 'em as prizes to keep people coming back.
Ashenbough: Porygon are not able to reproduce sexually, and the copy protection all members of the line share stops them from being replicated while inside of a computer, but just like every other Pokemon, if one encounters an accommodating Ditto...
The camera pans, showing that one of the Porygon2s has a set of beady black eyes instead of round googly ones.
Ashenbough: Life...finds a way.
Rowan (sotto voce): That middle one's looking like it's havin' some trouble there. What's it doing, is that...hah. I think it has the hiccups! Hey, make sure you get a shot of that!
The Porygon-Z continues hiccuping, its head flipping and tumbling with every hiccup as it waggles its arms and tail angrily. One of the Porygon2s moves forward and pokes its "chest" with its bill, at which point the Porygon-Z violently pecks its head.
Ashenbough: Perhaps it's not so surprising that a Porygon-Z, exposed to dubious programming as it has been, has more than a few glitches and idiosyncrasies in its behavior. Although, even from the simply-coded start of its line, Porygon have always had their quirks.
Rowan (sotto voce): Now remember, none of these little guys actually likes being on film. We're getting real lucky here, so let's—
There's a loud clunk and then the sound of spinning slots. The camera whips around and catches a glimpse of a snickering Haunter with its hand on a slot machine's arm before it fades away. Rowan yelps and something is bleeped out as the camera turns back around, briefly showing all the Porygons staring at them before static fills the screen and a set of Unown reading "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES?!?" appear.
Ashenbough: This...is not a graphic that we made. That is, in fact, what was recorded by the camera until Rowan and his team left the casino a few minutes later.
The image futzes back in, showing a cameraperson adjusting the lens, then nodding before it's pointed at and focused back in on by Rowan, who has a Porygon on his arm.
Rowan (sotto voce): Well, seemed the little prankster back there managed to scare the hiccups out of the Porygon-Z, so they weren't too mad at us. Still, little guys are pretty camera-shy. This friendly fellow decided to let us get a good look though!
Ashenbough: You may recognize this footage from our episode on artificial Pokemon, so no need to use any more of it here. After all, our previous hiccuper was apparently cured by our ghostly interloper.
...
Ashenbough: Pokemon are mysterious creatures. Diverse in appearance, type, egg group, gender, nature, and just about every other way, there are many things about them that we'll never know.
A Falinks is shown marching along. The leader bounces with a hiccup, and then all five of its followers bounce in turn as they walk past the same spot.
Rowan: Do they actually all have the hiccups, or are they just following the Brass?
Ashenbough: Some things that bring one creature strength—
A Bellibolt is shown hiccuping, bouncing up and down as the hiccups expand and contract its body, visibly building up electricity in its stomach.
Ashenbough: —could be absolutely devastating for another.
A Primarina is seen singing on a stage before suddenly hiccing up a cluster of bubbles. They cover their mouth with their fins, hiccup again, and then dive into the fountain on stage behind them, vanishing.
Ashenbough: But even with all our differences, humans and Pokemon alike, there are some things that bring all of us together, even something as inconsequential as a hiccup.
A shot of Rowan and Ashenbough has Rowan staring expectantly at him. Ashenbough arches his eyebrows at him.
Ashenbough: No Steve, I'm not going to hiccup for you.
Rowan heaves a comically overwrought sigh, then smiles at the camera.
Rowan: Guess that's still my job then. Right! Until next time, mates! This has–HICCUP been Pok–HIC–mon Earth!

Covers Bookbinding for beginners by a beginner- The Home Stretch
*drinks half a gallon of coffee*
COVERS!
You've gotten your typeset done for the fic, you've battled the demon that is your printer, folded pages, stitched pages, glued pages, glued end pages, and end bands. Made the cover, covered the cover in potentially homemade book cloth.
Now it's time to design a cover.
It's time to make this thing into a fully functioning book and slide it on your shelf and have a nice bout of "Laying on the Floor while Questioning the Human Condition (TM)".
There are a few options.
It depends on what you want.
I can only take you so far with Cricut/vinyl applications. But I researched enough to maybe, MAYBE give you the run down on at least how to get your cover from Canva to the software to cut out your vinyl. I'll start there since this is what I know the least.
Open up your version of Canva.
Make a document, I've seen some fanbinders make all this in the cricut software but I can only smile and nod along. But for me- this is the best I've figured:
go to the search bar and type in book cover (or use the drop down menu) click on a random template.
Fiddle and fart your way into a design you like. Text and Font Options are available in drop down menus and find some designs that are "Easy to Weed" which I understand as "Getting rid of all the stuff that's not going on the cover".
For Example:
Do you like it? It took me 40 seconds, I'm very proud of it. But this isn't to impress you really I just need to show you how to save your file so you can make the leap from one software application to the next.
Hit "Share", Hit "Download", File Type- Hit the down arrow, Hit "PNG" I missed this for the first few times--- BUT!
Click the "Transparent Background"
If you're doing more than one colour Vinyl you're going to duplicate the page that is located right next to the lock icon above the document. Hit that. Delete the stuff that you want to be different colours. Otherwise it will just cut everything out as one colour and I've seen some vinyl covers that get damn fancy.
You can also build a title cover just measure the spine and height of your spine and rotate your text to horizontal if you please.
Now for how I do mine. I use Printable Iron On Vinyl. Keynote there is a difference, there is stuff for light fabrics, and stuff for dark. Choose for what your primary book cloth will be but the paper itself will be white.
Make your design.
I have 3 different covers for Celestial Navigation by Sabrecmc just because of how LARGE the fic itself is. I had to split the text block up for ease of handling.
I saved as a PNG, and loaded up my fancy printable vinyl into my printer and went through the software for printing, I had to do some fiddling but for my purposes I had to get the whole cover in the right size on the page- it took some fiddling yours might be simpler it might be more complex. But once I got it printed I trimmed off the white and was left with a peel-able rather velvety feeling thing.
Remove the backing. Get the iron on and go low and slow with the provided barrier material to prevent melting and damage to the print you've just done.
I made spines as well and made an 11 x 8.5 (Or brochure template)
And lined up my spines accordingly as to not waste materials. There will be grids that pop up automatically to let you know if things line up.
Print them out on the "highest quality" out put for your photo software.
It peels like a sticker. It may take a bit to get it going.
Line it up as nicely as you can on the cover (double check on the still exposed board).
There is a protective sheet that comes with it USE IT. Set your iron to a low heat and move it around frequently.
If you're in a relatively humid area (I live in a coastal town so the humidity is pretty high all year). Have a heavy book to squish your covers down with to try and get out any bends that may happen post ironing (also why we want low and slow).
Leave to cool.
Now you have a text block and a cover.
For all intents and purposes for my demonstration I'm leaving the spine off and am redoing everything with this fic from the ground up. There are aspects and mistakes that I have made that have irked my brain. So I will be leaving the spines off for this round. This is the learning curve and since a lot have things have clicked into place since beginning this series that have given me the "AH HA! CLARITY!" moment. I have completely reworked EVERYTHING in my text block of Celestial Navigation. Plus I've a perfectionist issue that is a lot milder than what it was.
But these two text blocks will work as my "Ground Zero" and will be the books I compare all potential future binds too.
As a note that I said in the beginning of this endeavor:
THIS IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK DO NOT SELL WORK THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU!!!! YOU HAVE ASKED PERMISSION (I dearly hope) TO DO THIS DO NOT BREAK TRUST WITH THE AUTHOR.
IF You want to offer a copy to the author- GO FOR IT. Close friend that is showing interest in the fic?? Sure ok.
But if you sell it for monetary gain? I hope you stub your toe, and just before it finally heals you stub your toe again and may all your breakfast cereal turn to slugs.
DO NOT BE A DICK. I am writing this whole 'How To' Series as an experiment of Good Faith that you, the potential binder, will do right by the community and not compound an issue that has been cropping up. Etsy sellers, and this horrible Facebook community that will steal other's typesets, and begin selling them.
Like I said- this is a breech in Fair Use.
Now with that lecture, again, out of the way lets settle the rest of this series.
You will need:
Glue
Book Press
glue brush
Wax Paper.
Your Cover.
Your Text block.
Get your textblock and cover lined up with some wax paper in the middle of the decorative pages (if you're doing them other wise the page you glue down to the cover and the rest of the text block.
Fiddle, fart and dry fit until you are satisfied.
Lay down a layer of glue on the page NOT THE COVER ITSELF.
DON'T BE ME. I FUCKED UP HARDCORE AND DID THE COVER WITH THE GLUE. HOOOOO NELLY LET ME TELL YOU HOW BADLY THAT FUCKED SHIT UP.
HOW BAD WAS IT? BAD. VERY BAD. DON'T BE LIKE ME THAT FIRST ROUND, BE LIKE ME ON THE SECOND ROUND AND PUT GLUE ON THE END PAGE.
Line up the textblock for a final time and then apply the paper to the cover open the textblock and smooth what you just glued down. Flip over and repeat.
Then add weight to the text block put it back in your press, or if you're like me and have a reprint in the press just throw books atop the block.
Allow glue to cure over night.
Shiver, shudder, and lay on the floor. Your fic is now a book that you can put on your shelf.
Welcome to the wild wild world of bookbinding.
I've been your host trying their best to explain all the things.
I will likely continue this series with "OK SO I LEARNED SOME SHIT ALL THAT SHIT I WROTE BEFORE FEEL FREE TO LISTEN BUT I'VE GOT BETTER SOLUTIONS NOW" time stuff.
#bookbinding#ficbinding#diy#bookbinding for beginners by a beginner#oh my god I'm done for now#I've done it#I wrote out all of the things#and i likely have to go back and FIX some shit cause.... whooooooooooo I learned a LOOOOOOOOOT#mistakes are great learning tools don't get me wrong but hoooooo I learned a lot

If you ever feel insecure about your yapping just know that I binged your entire account for the past few hours and I was hooked. Like your account to me is what cocomelon is to toddlers you have no idea how happy you make my overly stressed student heart 😔❤ (Anon because I have anxiety (for now))
??!?!? i have enough stuff on here to entertain you for HOURS??
....huh. guess i've amassed quite a hoard. porntime surely does fly....swim.move fast
#another ask that made me pace the room and stare at it for several days because i didn't know how to respond#hands at my hips. countenance scROmnched and befuddled#you managed to go through this entire thing??#that's like.. me talking for hours and you're nodding your head in agreement the entire time#i check in at hour 2 asking 'YALL ARE STILL PAYING ATTENTION? THE HrNK?'#OH... IT FEELS LIKE...#being a lecturer of a tiny specialist 4th-year graduate seminar#and all 6 of ur students are freaks who WANT to be there and listen to you talk for hours. which is. astonishing#glad you picked up on the hesitation in yapping because i'm always insecure about yapping#as i've mentioned before#this *gestures to blog* is LOUD for me. i hold back a looooooooot of thoughts#infinity unpublished drafts. thoughts left unwritten. self doubt shutting down (horny)posts before they materialise LOL#i see the more unhinged bloggers and i press my face against the glass like#i want to be like that.... i wish to be free...#well. practice is everything. and the longer i stay here the higher the chance of losing some hinges#anyway. thank u for the ask😊#and hypothetical head nodding for hours while i distract you with shiny words and shapes 😆#the student grind is brutal. gotta harvest those good chemicals wherever you can........#maybe i'll draft up some previously-deemed-unworthy thoughts to add to the yappery#feesh answer

Whenever I think of England and Scotland’s relationship it’s always passive aggressive remarks, rare acts of mutual understanding and kindness and brotherly love, but most of all it’s Scotland letting England’s calls go to the machine while he pawns all his shit for the 7th time that month
#in all seriousness it’s really rocky relationship#I think nowadays Scotland just fucks with him with mostly harmless pranks/teasing#but they used to argue a looooooooot#hetalia#hetalia headcanons#hws england#hws scotland

It feels like every idea about the afterlife I've seen is like "there's a good time and a bad time and maybe even an idgaf time if we feel like it" I mean besides my personal stance of You're Just Done what if it's like. There IS an afterlife (like, a permanent state of it) but it's completely unrelated to how you spent your time in life. It's always about retribution and I get that it's for like... a sense of comfort in a way, when you don't consider yourself "bad" enough to go to Hell+/adyacent, because then you get to believe that evil people get what's coming to them with no possible escape, but it's also used to control and scare people into behaving and playing into someone else's ideas of what is right and what is wrong.
Can't say I'm able to imagine it because I do believe my life is one and done (despite wanting to wake up in a different one many a time), and I DO get how someone could say everything I just said to be like "It's all meaningless anyways so you should give up on living (#nihilism #depression #middleschool)" but me personally IDGAF if it's meaningless nor do I, in practice, give a damn whether I'll wake up every day to cute little blonde angels forgiving me for my sins (being born) or if I'll spend all eternity being force-fed donuts Homer style. Due to the fact that I'll die someday. Like it's the one thing everyone is guaranteed to go through, so we're all gonna find out what's next whether we like it or not. I just don't think you should spend your life thinking about its end. Quit wasting your damn time !!! YOU SHOULD BE AT THE CLUB !!!!!!!!!
#diary#or like.... playground. if you're a kid#a lot of the time when people are like What do you think created us..... what is our divine purpose......#and other such concepts too abstract for my limited mind I really cannot gaf. Why are you even worried about that.#I'm aware this makes me sound stupid to a large part of the population but I don't care about higher powers of any kind#I think it's a lot more important to focus on people (of the earthly kind) by like. A looooooooot.#because you cannot separate yourself from people. You'll ALWAYS be a person. It's a pretty obvious priority. To ME!!!#and it dictates how you treat others also.#Like I think you should be kind because you Live In A Society and not out of fear and/or devotion.#sorry. my rambling nature has really decided to come out lately. MY BADDD<///3#much to think about

i dont talk about tock and urianger a lot besides that i think urianger would put himself into a grave for her and she doesnt know why. the fact he lied to her went entirely over her head cause she wasnt all there in shadowbringers so to this day she doesnt know why urianger started cryind all choked up apologizing to her in amaurot but it made her feel bad but not in a bad way but in a scared way. she gets scared when the adults around her are sad because she doesnt know what it means. but shes past it now and doesnt recall what went on while urianger is still beating himself with hammers for doing that to a little girl let alone tock of all people
#he really is the closest person to have something w tock like she had with chefant which comes with a looooooooot#of responsibility. because despite tock being friendly and loves everyone she very rarely lets anyone near her like that

samurai trails intro-ch4.3 thumbs up emoji. im not finishing tonite cuz i wanna icon akira and think about promise of wizard
Vyrn: Here, how about a hug? I used to do this all the time back when Captain was little and got too scared to sleep. Lyria: Vyyyrn… You're so sweet… Wrapping her arms around Vyrn like a child clutching a teddy bear, Lyria surveys the area with a pale face.
hundred yrs of life directly to my lifespan. but also whenever vyrn talks about stuff captain did as a kid,,,,,,,<-current gran is slightly embarrassed when this happens
Sato: It's exhausting having to do all the sleuthing alone, know what I mean? I'll take all the help I can get. Choice: Is there a bonus? Sato: Huh? A bonus? Oh, I see what you're getting at. I am technically making a new request, after all… Hm… Can I pay you after I become a big-name ninja? Choice: Nuh-uh. Sato: Grr, c'mon, work with me here! Vyrn: All right, that's enough teasing for one day.
as per usual the bullying option is way longer than the agreeing option LOOOLLL IM SOOOOO happy theres been so much teasing in events lately. like. i know captain does this a lot but. maybe i just react like this everytime. i like it is all. 'nuh-uh' 'thats enough teasing' ajksbdkjabjsd
Jinnai: And you will not face consequence alone, Sato. Your silly skyfarer and pseudo-samurai friends will be treated as equally guilty.
this is such a thing to say to ppl who definitely will continue the investigation regardless. calling skyfarers silly when gran always thought they were cool is alsoooo........anyway sato in this part was great, i like her
Sato: That's why I wanted to continue the investigation alone—to uncover the truth. Choice: We can help you. Vyrn: Yeah! And if things get dicey, we'll stow you on our ship and help you make a quick getaway!
Sato: You guys… I'm warning you, this has the potential to turn into a huge headache. Are you sure you're up for it? Lyria: Trust us, we know what we're getting into! Besides, we're not the kind of skyfarers to quit a job halfway!
sato do u wanna see our resume
#stardust speaking !#also shieldsworn todaYYY????? i dont have much to say about it alone but. it was cool. i like deliford. i like volenna.#volennas part was rly cool. i like the class design a looooooooot. the chain auughhhhhhhhh#gbf spoilers//

Oh my god…. I’ve drawn enough this that I could actually do a complete art summary for once… :o
#apple talks#to the tune of spam#I didn’t miss a single month that’s insaaaaane I did not realize I’d been so industrious this year…#then again. a looooooooot of stressful shit happened that I was trying desperately to ignore. so. there’s that. 😅
