Control where you put your focus, then you control your emotions.
Since your manifestations are tied to where you have been investing your emotional energies, as a result you also control what you are attracting into your life.

All reading is good reading. Any type of work. Any level. Any style. If you spent some time today with fictional or non fictional worlds - you spent your time well.
#I have two literature degrees#my masters had a focus on medieval literature and folk/fairy tales#I have taught literature in university level courses#Teach college writing and communications courses now#whether it is an audiobook or manga or fanfic or chuck tingle or the greatest works of literature if you engaged in other worlds than yours#your time has been for the good

I think Kevin should be allowed to be really good at claw machine games. Tommy can have pinball, but if you need someone who always manages to get a prize from the claw machine then Kevin's your man. He's also proficient at those knock over the can games because he throws ridiculously hard. He will dent the cans, and he WILL win the biggest prize.
#He just goes into focus mode and always positions the claw JUST RIGHT#He even gets two at the same time occasionally#I know they're usually rigged but he is the claw master#But yeah Kevin loves PRIZES#Do not get between him and a cheap favor showing that he WON#(Cigarette Burn on Your Arm) Headcanons

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"
like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like
imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.
i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.
#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result#and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master#but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper-#are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like#i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh#as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible#sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness#so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun#but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps#doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you#not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog#but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog#if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck#but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation-#the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines-#then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST#and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them#because now you have the drive to want to do more#now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing#long post#even longer tags#art#drawing#artists#art advice

Just wanted to plant an idea if you wanted a bit of fuel: Mahiru asking Yuno to come to her cell before everything goes down.
Edit: I forgot the ask didn't say it but this is part of Kyanako's incredible Order Of Attack AU!
Didn't mean for this to become a mini Mappi study but here we are ✨ Thank you for the request! I fully intended to write them hanging out, but it's more right before they hang out lol. Went a bit on-the-nose with foreshadowing, but isn't that the fun part? It has become Emotional Over Mahiru Hour...
I kept things vague, but TW for mentioning her boyfriend's state of potential self-harm
Mahiru tried not to act superstitious, she really did. As much as she loved the idea of little luck charms, or avoided easy signs of misfortune, it was easier to keep quiet about such ridiculous things.
Maybe catching a bride’s bouquet meant no guarantees; maybe there was no real harm in stepping underneath ladders, maybe a coin tossed into a fountain had no real magic to its wish. However, the one thing she knew for sure held power was a lucky presence. Being in the right place at the right time could alter everything. And today was the right time for something. There was this waiting in the air. The prison had been holding its breath. Mahiru knew it was time to release it all.
“You must be so lonely, why don’t you let big sis Mahiru keep you company?” She beamed at Amane.
She often recalled the good fortune that she and a certain young man had crossed paths on the university terrace. She used to laugh with him about the wonderful coincidence of bumping into each other outside of the bakery, then the convenience store.
Though she’d never spoken about it to him, she was also grateful for many occasions where she walked in on him at the precise moment to talk him out of something reckless. She always told him that they’d do everything together. He didn’t need to be alone anymore.
“I wish to be alone. I need peace of mind to think.” Amane turned away from the cell door.
It was a good thing, too. Mahiru’s smile wasn’t as convincing as she said, “o-oh. Of course.”
She made her way around the panopticon, hearing Fuuta pace his cell in anticipation. He must have felt it too, this holding of breath.
Or perhaps not. He turned down her offer for a bit of company, including a few more colorful words than Amane had. Mahiru just apologized for bothering him and headed back to her cell. She wasn’t sure where Mikoto was at this hour, but she didn’t feel like smiling through a third rejection.
She shook her head back and forth. She wished the motion could rattle the voices inside, she wished she could shake them all away. With her arms secured in place she could no longer cover her ears. She used to hum to keep them at bay, but lately they’d been too loud to stifle. They just kept on talking.
Their words told her the two were right. Nobody needed her company. No – nobody wanted it. Being together hadn’t helped her boyfriend. In fact, being together had been the very thing that got him killed. No wonder Amane and Fuuta wanted to avoid her.
So then, this was for the best. She would rather deal with the brief sting of refusal than stumble in one day to find them hurt… or worse. As much as she tried to avoid the superstition of it all, the voices reminded her that her very presence could mean life or death.
“Mappi, are you alright?” Mahiru hadn’t realized a tear had slipped down her cheek until she hurried to swipe it away in front of Yuno.
“Hah, I’m fine! Just fine.” It was impossible to fool her, Mahiru had learned, but that never stopped her from trying.
At least she always spoke tactfully. “Rough morning?”
Mahiru shifted her arms in her uniform, making a small sound of agreement.
“Can I do anything to help? What if I stay with you for a bit? I can do your hair, and…”
The voices were right. Amane and Fuuta knew it, too. Presences did hold power, and Mahiru’s was cursed.
But she would sound foolish admitting such a fear to Yuno. She'd heard plenty from the voices about how stupid and airheaded she was, there was no use in getting the same lecture from someone as grounded as her.
Mahiru managed a weak protest, unable to explain her real reasoning. Yuno was insistent. She didn’t give much of a choice. Could she feel the strangeness of the prison, as well?
At last, Mahiru allowed her shoulders to sag. Yuno was lucky. And kind. Having her nearby would do her good. Amane and Fuuta would be alright. Mahiru had tried spending more time with them after verdicts were announced. Now, she made a mental note to pull back. If her love couldn’t save anyone, at least she could spare them from her curse. They would be safe.
“Yes. Please stay. The truth is... I don't want to be alone.”
#milgram#mahiru shiina#yuno kashiki#amane and fuuta mentioned#i dont know how well this all fits in with your vision of the au but i had a ton of fun with this lmao sorry 😂#oh hey if anyone knows any japanese superstitions like those in the beginning lmk#i was trying to research them but i kept getting lucky symbols/words - not necessarily actions like that#anyway thank you so much for this!! it was a really interesting moment to capture >:0#drabbles that take me way too long to combine my three brain cells but im really pleased with the end result#i had a lot of Mahiru Thoughts but it took a bit of fiddling to make them fit together#the superstitiousness - the focus on one's presence - the parallels with his bf - what she's dealing with from the voices#im glad it came together semi-smoothly in the end asdfsd#i didnt mean for mahiru t break the fourth wall or anything --#i always saw her as a master at picking up on social changes/cues so she can tell when things are most tense/kotoko is fully prepared#but she doesnt consciously know it -- she just knows that things feel Off#not only do the attacks confirm mahirus fear that shes cursed - but yunos involvement confirms her belief that shes extra lucky#i wonder if shed still end up spending all her time with yuno now that she thought she was such a protective person...#i couldnt articulate it right since the end was wrapping up so nicely - but mahiru starts to wonder if most people are fine being left alon#and *shes* the odd one out for craving company#then she feels isolated because by getting what she wants shes dooming someone else#i mean... if everyone you try to get close to starts getting hurt... wouldnt you worry about the same...?#AHAHAHAHA hope you enjoyed 🙃#*posts this then retreats back into the void for a bit*#drabbles

I'm seeing a psychiatrist on Monday, I only have 15 minutes with them because those people love to slack off work, how do I manage to convince them that my attention deficit problems (and the stress they bring) are a real issue that has hugely hindered the later part of my education as well as all my work life (yes, I got good grades until I was 16, so what? What about everything after?) and that they literally disable me in my day to day life and make things infinitely harder for me and that I'm not making it all up and that I don't care if this is ADHD or social media or ADHD made worse by social media, the symptoms are the fucking same and I need help and some actual tests and yes, medicine?
#liveblogging my life#psychiatrists in this country are sociopaths#you have to pour your heart out to them in 10 minutes so that they decide if you're worthy of therapy and meds or not#and then they make their own conclusions anyway#thing is i booked this appt last month bc I'm starting a PhD#looking for a job and starting a new master i need help to cope with it all#but since then i have fallen into yet another depressive episode#so i will be tempted to talk about that but I can't#i need to focus on the attention issues#else he will not listen to me and just prescribe me anti depressants

Why am I even considering getting a masters i hate school….
#every time I’m not in school I have such a romanticized idea of what academia is like#like im gonna be in the cafe studying so hard and reading and being so educated and smart#when in reality it’s always me crying and being depressed and missing class and cheating on assignments and writing bullshit essays at 2am.#like ok I want a masters sometimes bc I kind of like the idea of being a school counselor. but also like that means I’d have to like. focus#focus and remember things#I feel like no one talks about the problem with having a shit memory where you forget half your education…#like is it just me? I have never seen someone talk about this. is it really just me#does everyone who has terrible memory just somehow remember their education?#because I DONT….#I remember learning things but a lot of those things idk what I learned#it’s really embarrassing maybe ppl don’t talk abt it cuz it’s fucking embarrassing .

love seeing that other people used the beast ball on terapagos. same brain 👋
#the color scheme works with terapagos#i think you could speculate that it came from space (didn’t they say the crater was formed by a meteor) so the ball for aliens is fitting#the beast ball has a lower catch rate than a regular pokéball (unless it’s an ultra beast)#so using it in a guaranteed-catch situation like this is probably the only way to ensure it isn’t wasted#sv dlc spoilers#teal mask/indigo disk#pokémon#man i love what they did with ogerpon and terapagos tbh i think making them work like tera raids was smart#instead of enabling you to whip out the master ball on turn one and not get to experience the epicness and music of the fight#or if you don’t have the master ball- forcing you to probably suffer for like 15 minutes and waste a ton of other balls#they have you simply focus on battling the legendary and going all out with your power without having to worry#and then giving you a guaranteed first-throw catch at the end no matter what so you can choose how you wanna do this#say what you will i think that’s a lot more satisfying#the challenge imo should be taking the thing down and not praying that you’ll get lucky with random ball throw gambling

what is the difference btwn landscape architecture and architecture? =D
So architects design buildings and landscape architects design basically anything outside of those buildings. Public parks & squares, private gardens, Parking spaces, sidewalks and much more.
Landezine is a website where you can find a lot of notable projects & get an idea for what landscape architects plan. Looking in the 'projects' section on there will usually show you a pretty diverse range of projects from different studios.
In university we do have classes together with architecture students, tough that's mostly for basic design & drawing stuff. Most of my classes are specific to outside areas, like 'plant planning' (which plants work for certain areas and how can I include them in those areas?) or 'garden monument care' (researching a historic outdoor space/park/garden by taking stock of what is there right now and finding sources on its history, then evaluating the current state in regards to the original plans / historic layers, and then deciding what needs to be done to honor the history but also make it suitable for the current conditions and use)
#landscape architecture#The planning for certain places is usually decided through competitions#Where multiple studios will create their own design for the space and then present that through drawn plans. Digital or physical models.#And sketches / collages / photoshopped images#Buuut im not even sure I want to work for a studio like that in the future. It's supposedly very crunch-y/overtime heavy when it comes to#Competition deadlines#And theres plenty of other areas you can go in#Like im still in my bachelor program so ofc there's a bit of everything in there#But with the landscape architecture master you can pick your classes to focus on certain topics or even do a different masters program#Depends on what the universities have to offer. I've seen something along the lines of#'city planning in historic city districts'#As an example#Yah that's preddy much the basics#From someone who didn't know landscape architects even existed until they saw it#On a list of a universitys available bachelor programs
