Friendly reminder that you do not have to buy loads of new planners/journals or try new productivity systems in the new year.

You do not have to try and reinvent yourself overnight.

Change and growth happens slowly, and you are allowed to take your time with it.

"In this world, I'm known as...the Winter King" 🌨❄️🌬

This cosplay was so so close to never seeing the light of day, as this was the aforementioned project I rage quit to procrastinate with Nekomancer on haha. I really adored the fionna and cake special (and adventure time in general) and wanted to cosplay from it for eons...although I will admit this project was intended to be "generic blue and silver winter regal outfit for a variety of characters" and it was a toss up on whether or not the first run was going to go to the Winter King/Simon or Jack Frost...but I couldn't find my jack frost wig so here we are!

This was my first time working a lot with velvet and low key....I loved it and would love to use it more.

hello everyone new!

its been a hot few months and a few thousand more followers, so hi to everyone new and thank you for being here!

I go by L on this blog! I take prompt requests (not right now, but soon!), and i'm sorry if several sunlit years pass before I get to yours.

I love stationary, weird art, bugs, overly milky tea, and kikkoman soymilk.

i recently got an agent, and in the interest of good natured and someday potentially useful self promotion you can follow me on instagram at @liliacostello if the mood strikes you

prompts are free use forever, and i hope you tag me in anything you make! prose gets read and adored, art gets reblogged and adored.

keep writing and stay odd forever

The Process ✨

[chadlesbianjasontodd]

Closely connected to the act of name signing was the act of writing poems on walls. As scholars have already pointed out, with beginnings traceable to the Six Dynasties, wall poems (tibishi) were already very widespread during the Tang. By Christopher Nugent's count, well over one thousand entries in the Complete Tang Poems had titles indicating that they began as inscriptions on some surface other than paper or scrolls. These surfaces included walls at places of gathering and transit, such as post stations, scenic sites, inns, and increasingly in the latter part of the Tang, Buddhist temples, which also served public roles for lay gatherings and performances. (100)

In one anecdote, a latecomer casts aspersions on a first writer's literary skills, comparing him to the general Xiang Yu (232-202 BCE), who was infamous for having learned just enough writing to manage his name: "Li Tang signed his name on a pavilion in Zhaoying County. When Wei Zhan [jinshi degree 865] saw it, he took a brush and dashed off a taunt: 'The rivers of Wei and Qin brighten the eyes, / but why is Xiren short on poetic spirit? / Perhaps he mastered only what Beauty Yu's husband could / learning to write just enough to put down his name.' " ... It would not be a stretch to imagine the sniggering of those who read this inscription in a frequented pavilion. (102)

For a degree seeker in Chang'an, these circuits of information and judgment received more discussion than the actual examination itself. Tang literati wrote copiously about activities such as name signing, public exposure, and triumph. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in ninth-century temples and popular recreation areas, the vertical spaces were teeming with verses that clamored for attention. (104)

the amount of times stefano/sky/fom praise and try to validate max and rb’s dominance is actually symptomatic of what a failure it has been from a viewership/commerciality stand point; if it were the case that people take to it positively, there would be no need for this constant effort to somehow validate their performance and dictate how fans should perceive it
