#october's consistency

[seed-of-lives]

October is coming...

And I want to try posting everyday, which means trying to study every day for the whole month.

Since this is the first time and I don't want to overwhelm myself and stuff, I'm going to set specific rules:

Study everyday. That means coping class notes, reading the material, highlighting, repeating and doing homework

Complete homework before dinner (exception: revising before going to sleep to memorise better)

Make the bag and pick out next day's clothes before going to bed (preferably before dinner)

Allowed 1 complete rest from school day a week (can be Sunday all day or any of the others except for school hours)

Allowed to change the rules as I see fit during the month, but need to give valid reasonings

Allowed to mess up and keep going

First week's objective: have no completely bad days.

I didn’t feel like drawing todays but I wanted to get something out. Later tonight I’ll redraw Murderface as morticia Adams to reward myself for making it through today

At the start of this project all I wanted was to 'learn how to draw' using comics as a medium and the MDZS audio drama as inspiration.

I've come *very* far from making simple, 3 panel black and white comics, and I truly do intend to go even further. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on throughout 2023, it has been an incredible year in so many ways I never could have imagined. I look forwards to drawing throughout 2024 B*)

I have a question about the jp server pickups, since I really want knight Sebek, but I’m trying to save gems for bloom malleus + the 3rd tsum event that’s gonna show up sooner or later. Iirc, after knight Sebek, the next story update’s pickup had all of the previous story cards (ie cerberus Ortho, general Lilia, and knight Sebek). Is this true, and if it is, did it include a token system like the dorm pickups where you can just do 100 pulls and then buy the specific card you want directly? Because if that is how it works, then I can wait until then and be sure I won’t have to go to 200 for him.

we did indeed get a second chance at those three when 7-7 came out! I'm pretty sure there was not a token system -- though admittedly I don't 100% remember, sorry! 🙇 I took a quick search through some past posts/videos from people who tend to include the gacha and news stuff, but I didn't see any mention of it, so I'm inclined to think there really wasn't one. :( they were all separate pickups with their own pull counts rather than a combined one, if that info helps at all.

speaking as a strict f2p who hoards keys/gems like the lovechild of a dragon and a magpie, given the choice between saving for a story card and a birthday card, I'd go for story -- it does require a lot of patience, but there are way more opportunities to get past birthday cards, both from the anniversary events and the rerun pickups! tsums is a bit harder to say anything on because Eng doesn't follow the same event schedule, but it's a longish event and those pickups let you have a free 10-roll, so I think they're also a bit easier to save up for.

(ALSO speaking of free rolls, starting with the fifth round of birthdays -- the kutsurogi my room ones -- the birthday boy/union jacket/bloom cards have had a separate pickup that you can get two free 10-pulls at by doing missions! I got a bloom Jade from it a couple weeks ago. :D meanwhile general Lilia is the only story card I've ever managed to pull, so...I'm probably kinda biased. whoops.)

it feels like there's no way to talk about it that doesn't sound stupid and melodramatic but it's fucking me up so bad to lose my seasons. this is about the fourth or fifth year in a row of atypical weather, but this year instead of being unpredictable it was just consistently predictably hotter in every single month. this november we've been getting october weather. in october it was like late summer. in late summer it was like it was still july. in july it was so bad I hardly left the house. like it feels like someone I know died. it feels like even the things in life that should be consistent and reliable, the aspects of the natural world far bigger than myself, are just shifting sand under my feet

October 20th

Today I woke up early because my cat was annoying (I love him), then I spent the morning on socials and then reading. After lunch I kept reading a bit (I'm almost done with the book and it's gotten very interesting), then I got started on homework at around 16 or 17.

I did greek, then I reviewed my notes, I did maths and physics homework, read some pages for philosophy, they did not match the explanation in class.

I also started on my late latin homework which I have to finish my thursday.

After dinner I finished greek and it's now 23:00.

This week was crazy. I spent the first two days studying so much, going to bed at 1 am for two, actually three, consecutive days.

On Wednesday I tried to rest a bit but I was still busy and got to bed late, that time I couldn't excuse it.

So on thursday I had no strength. My eyes ached, I was too tired.

Friday was alright, thankfully we had a couple of short days this week or I wouldn't have made it.

But still I managed to only do the bare minimum.

On Saturday the same.

Today my eyes ached again because I was tired and I got a headache which got worse since I used my phone so much.

This week will also be crazy as I'm full of tests and I still have not started studying for some of them. I think it'll be fine because I paid attention in class and all my homework, so I'm only worried about a couple of things but even then, if things don't go well it's still fine, they're the first tests of the year after all.

(PS actually, a test kind of saved me because it means that I have more time to study other stuff (hard to explain, important part: I'm happy))

The organisation system seems to be working well for now.

This week's objective: get 8 hours of sleep every night.

It'll be hard, I'm already starting at a little less than 8 but I'm confident that if I try I'll be able to? I'm not confident at all but I know that If I manage to do this I'll have gotten over one of my greatest issues atm and consequently to many other minor things which add up.

I'm happy though.

Ultratober day 15-16: most hated character

I don't really hate any *character* so this was kind of a hard prompt to think about, but gameplay wise? I definetely have an enemy I absolutely don't like seeing above any other

75 Soft-Challenge 🍁

Daily rules for the next 75 days:

Drink 3 Liters of water

Read 10 pages of any book

Move your body for 45 minutes

Follow a healthy diet

Other rules:

Alcohol only on social occasions

1 cheatmeal a week

This challenge is the "softer" version of the 75 Hard challenge.

Starting weight: 72,3 kg / 159 lbs

The last few months I have been working on building better habits. I've been working out on my crosstrainer/going for walks 4-5 times a week and I've been eating better during the challenge me and my boyfriend agreed on. Since then, the sodas and snacks have found their way back into our household, so that's been a little disappointing.

My healthy diet will basically be that I try to cook as many meals as possible myself (no fast food or frozen pizzas etc.), and I try to always include a variety of vegetables and stay away from things like heavy cream, milk or butter. I will also only drink water (and my morning coffee) or tea, no more sodas or sugary iced teas. And snacks like chocolate, chips or gummy bears are also only allowed as the weekly cheatmeal.

For my daily 45 minute movement/exercise I will either go for a walk, use my crosstrainer/elliptical or do at home workouts (Ringfit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch has been a fun way to workout for me!).

I've started the challenge yesterday, on October 1st. The end of the challenge will be in the middle of December. I'm very excited to go into these colder and cozy months with the plan to be the best version of myself before the year is over! 🍂✨

Day 1 - "Fontaine"

My personal inktober list this year is to create simple renders and designs crossing over medias that I like! My prompt for Day 1 is Fontaine (from genshin impact) and Arven (from Pokemon Scarvi)! Some of my crossovers are wild because the whole list is randomised. I won't be sharing my prompts just because it's niche specific to my interests lmao

We sticking to it lads. I'm gonna do it this year!
