Fen Fun Facts: Sleep edition

She has idiopathic insomnia, has had it since she was like a baby (she's known in her family as a notoriously "fussy" sleeper). It takes her awhile to fall asleep (even on meds) and she used to have times where she'd just go days without sleeping for no reason, and then would pretty much pass out for the next couple. She's medicated for it now, but keeping her sleep schedule consistent is still a bit of a challenge, especially when she's trying to balance things like school, work, and other general life stressors.

When trying to fall asleep (especially if she's sharing a space with other people) she's very stiff. She tries not to move around a lot or make any noise, but once she's actually asleep she becomes much more animated (tosses and turns A Lot). Her sisters used to nag her whenever they had to share a bed on vacation cause she'd always bump into them or accidentally "kick" them at some point in her sleep.

Once she's out she is OUT though, and sleeps like the dead. It takes a lot to wake her up. She also doesn't really dream (or at least never remembers them), her brain just kinda offlines for the night.

Sleeps best on her side, prefers her right side

Really enjoys weighted blankets, they soothe her

Because of her generally borked sleep habits/schedule she's not really a morning person. She's capable of getting up in the morning without too much complaint, but generally prefers not to, though if she has a big project due she'll force herself to get up early to work on it (usually just very disoriented after waking up, but otherwise a generally pleasant person first thing in the morning. (ie not a grump)

wears fuzzy socks to bed cause her feet get cold very easily

can't wear long sleeves or shorts to bed, for some reason they give give her sensory issues. So her pajamas consist of a tshirt, pajama pants, and fuzzy socks no matter the season

On nights where she has a really hard time falling asleep, she likes to sit outside and look at the sky

as a female engineering student i am so grateful to have representation like poppy li. too many “woman in stem” characters are, on top of being really smart, also really cool and really pretty but POPPY is a piece of shit, awkward as hell, egotistical little gremlin addicted to candy, power, and validation. she is the smartest person at mythic quest and also the weirdest person you’ve ever met. i love her so much

A Note on Watches

part 1 / part 2 / part 3

was watching Conclave with my friend and being a watch nerd, he notes:

Lawrence

Lawrence was wearing something like an Orient Bambino (possibly passed down). Watches like that are from the eighties.

Clearly, it's not embellished, and worn over time. A used Orient Bambino exudes decorum without being flashy. Pragmatic and cultured.

__________________________________________________

Bellini

Bellini's watch was quite simple as well.

Potentially an Omega De Ville or more likely a classic Seiko Dolce. Also an old model, implying that he's worn it for some time.

(Apparently, the Omega De Ville doesn't have the same angles) Regardless, people who opt for tank faces (square watches) tend to be ambitious. Simultaneously, they want to project humility.

'He's been doing all the right things to get what he wants,' says my friend. 'He's been curating his image.'

__________________________________________________

Benitez

Benitez's Casio f-91w is a functional watch.

'It exists just to do its job,' says my friend (Nate). 'No fanfare. It tells time and like [Benitez's] character, it's not trying to show up anybody. It just does its job.'

Considering this Casio costs 12 TIMES less than Bellini's Seiko Dolce, you might think this is a humble watch.

But it's not even that. It's an 'I exist' watch.

Additional note: Some people have said Benitez is wearing a Casio F-105, but my friend disagrees. Benitez’s watch face is too large (sorry for the typo) SMALL to be the F-105. Regardless, both the Casio models tell us the same thing about Benitez's character.

Additional note 2: Casio f-91w is apparently considered a god-tier watch, which is above luxury watches. It's earned that ranking because:

It's battery lasts for 10 years

It keeps time accurately

It has alarm & date function (both 12h or 24h)

It has a backlight

Water resistance for up to 30m

It can stand a tough beating.

It's versatile. You can wear it with a suit or overalls. Anything.

It's cheap, i.e. easily accessible. Just like God.

It has an annual sales of 3 mil units per year, making it the most sold watch in the world.

Side note: The current Pope (Francis) wears a Casio MQ-24-7bldf, which has similar connotations as Benitez's. The only difference being that Pope Francis's Casio is analogue while Benitez's watch is digital, showing the role age plays in preference. Both watches are hella cheap, but Benitez's watch is a tad more expensive by virtue of being digital and having more features like an alarm and backlight function, which better fits his situation in Kabul.

Some more Vashes as Howl Pendragon

(Pssst, you can get them as a sticker pack on Redbubble)

Edit: the stickers got taken down by Redbubble 🙄

But you don't get it, you evil hater!

The 13yo in question had really really really crushed hard on the protagonist! Theat means he was more mature and way smarter than other 13yos in the story!

actually while were on the topic i still think the funniest tgcf hot take was that one mq anti arguing that mq was Evil because he wouldnt let a 13yo honghong er/hua cheng become a child soldier. great work guys

Hey apparently this was on my insta but not here?? feng xin and mu qing designs for an animatic. Additional notes under the cut

mu qing notes:

-book 2 and book 4 mq look a little stiff idk what was going on when i was drawing those \:|

-8+ years of art and the most art theory i know is ummm sometimes theres shapes and triangle = sharp, unlike circle = round so theyre.. opposites.. or something.. anyways i tried to put a lot more sharper/straighter lines and V's into mu qing's clothes. and dramatic sleeves. and horse face skirt when he's xuan zhen bc i like the sharp structure of it.

-how the fuck is he carryign around a sabre that big all the time

-congratulations mu qing on changing your hairstyle at least once in 800 years

-i like how fx and mq both take up more space as gods! but where feng xin is doing it with his big armor mu qing has his dramatic outer robe that billows majestically with invisible cultivator wind all the time

-

Feng Xin notes:

-i like the rounder bulkier shape of the silhouette of the armor. He's not a cultivator his layers r much more practical!

-one million anachronism who give a shit

-it will never come up (because i fudge hands a lot) but feng xin is wearing an archer's thumb ring and the hairpiece he has as nan yang is also based on thumbring pendant

okay time to write something again. supposed to be writing for the DBH fic but fuck it we're writing for FNF

[piosplayhouse]

Shi Qingxuan had a pair of blinged out designer cat ears and a slinky dress because they're a really supportive friend but didn't totally follow Xie Lian's explanation that a furry convention was slightly different from a themed costume party.

You're 1000000% correct and please forgive me for springboarding off of this to peddle some hyperspecific bad furry au headcanons:

Sqx: as you said, doesn't really understand what a furry is or what they do. Despite that, has a toyhouse account with thousands of followers on it that her brother made for her. He only has one oc on it, which is an extremely expensive Dainty that his brother bought for him. Otherwise uses the site forums like a social media platform, but doesn't know how to navigate any other part of it (this is understandable if you're familiar with toyhouse). Somehow gained tons of friends and followers anyway, including

hx: her sona is an eel. He lurks the forums exclusively to report drama to hua cheng, who faithfully mass reports and harasses any user who talks badly about disgraced furry xie lian. She's a partial fursuiter (only has the head and paws (fins?)) because even though she made her own suit, hua cheng gave her the stipend to get the materials and he only allotted enough for a bare minimum partial. Yes, he has fucked sqx while wearing his fursuit, and she was really into it.

hua cheng: full fursuiter with 2 suits (San Lang and Hua Cheng) as stated before. He also has custom tailored robes to fit over his suits because he's dapper like that. Obsessively monitors every furry site across the internet to take down anyone spreading rumors about xie lian by using his thousands of sock puppet accounts. Spends more time in his suits than out of them, doesn't even show xie lian his real face until they meet again at Ghost City Furcon together. Full time simp, part time artist/fursuit maker/con owner. Xie Lian talked him down from a suicide attempt after seeing him make a concerning post on a forum, and hua cheng has been gone ever since. Had a bad phase in high school where he exclusively drew xie lian's sona, including one particularly embarrassing self insert NSFW piece of him.

xie lian: full fursuiter BUT regularly takes off his suit head in public for any reason (note: for furries this is considered really weird and somewhat taboo). I've already talked about him quite a bit so I'll keep it brief, but he was blacklisted from the All Furries Go to Heaven Furcon twice despite being a very involved volunteer in the early days of the con. Despite this, somehow in the year 20XX an unknowing green volunteer finds his old artist alley application shoved in a drawer somewhere and calls him up to attend the con again for the first time in decades.

Feng xin and mu qing: THEY DONT HAVE THE SAME FURSUIT OK! Just because they accidentally commissioned the same maker and their suits are like color swapped versions of each other doesn't mean they wanted to match at all in fact mq's sona is a cat and fx's is a dog but the maker they hired makes their dog and cat suits look pretty much the same so that's how it turned out that way and
