Prioritising: how to prioritise + use it effectively to take control of your life.

Hi girlies🐩💗 So yesterday i was incredibly lazy and unproductive and pathetic. I didn’t do any work and i was mostly on the screens. The worst part about it is that it was unintentional. Meaning that if it was planned as a “off day” bc i did a bunch of work that week, it would be fine. But it wasn’t planned. And it felt utterly horrible.

So i decided to take control of my life because i have no one to blame but MYSELF. I am in complete control of myself so now i am going to use that to my best advantage. It’s time to…

✨prioritise what matters✨

This is a step-by-step guide to how to prioritise what actually matters to you and then acting on it. So without further ado, lettuce(random pun sorry) begin :)

Step 1: figure out whats important to you/ your goals.

What’s important to you in life? Is it being online and scrolling on your phone all day? Or is it getting good grades, staying healthy and happy? What is it? Identify this first.

For me, its:

Time with loved ones

Enough sleep

Good grades + being smart & educated

Looking and feeling good + taking care of myself

Having hobbies & skills

God

This is the first step to learning how to prioritising things. It’s not about doing a bunch of hard work for something that you dont even care about, it’s so that you can do a bunch of hard work for something you do care about, so you’re working towards a goal.

Step 2: make an action plan to achieve/ accomplish these.

So now that you know whats really important and what matters to you (aka your goals), create some bullet points/ things you can do to achieve those goals.

For example;

Goal: spending more time with loved ones

Spend time with my sibling

Talk more to my parents

Call grandma / friends

Goal: getting high grades + being smart & educated

Study study study. Study for tests at least a week in advance

Read a lot. Not just what you normally read, read outside your comfort zone! (So for me this would be history, classics, arts & fashion, etc.)

Listen to podcasts about different things

Goal: feeling & looking good + taking care of myself

Wash hair 2x a week

Skincare

Pamper yourself + self care days

Exercise

Going outside/ walking

Posture!! (Calling YOU out)

Final: execution

Once you know these mini goals/ habits/ steps you need to take, then its time for the most important part:

Execution.

Doing all this, is completely USELESS if you don’t apply it to your life. So now it’s time to actually do it.

“B-b-but i dont have time!”

Um okay.. but you have time for scrolling? Use this thing i once heard called “time stealing”.

Whenever you catch yourself scrolling or doing something unintentionally unproductive, then stop yourself and use that time instead on doing something that moves you towards your goal.

Having the steps you can take to reach those goals written down somewhere means that whenever you feel bored or need something productive to do, you have those things to go to!

Xoxo, Vanilla.

Manon seeing Dorian while Rifthold was under attack:

“She had forgotten how much taller he was.”

“His sensuous mouth”

“He towered over her.”

“Manon studied his long legs, more muscled than last time she’d seen him.”

“He had packed on more muscle.”

“The golden tan of his skin.”

“Shot her a glare over his broad shoulder.”

I freaking love the fact that this happens every single time Ghost drops literally anything

The fandom:

That's the only thing that never changes. Everything else is as variable as it can possibly get.

Guys while hallucinating on my new meds, I came to the realization that Mihawk was out on the open seas as swordsman since he was a teenager maybe even younger…. Did he ever finish a normal education?

Scratch that did he even have a normal education? Does he know math? Can my guy tell me the quadratic formula? Like I think we all forget as individuals how much school taught us yes the school system is broken blah blah but guys we understand germ theory and how birds fly and chemistry and biology that people just 60 years ago wouldn’t have known and would have killed to know, like I’m sure he can write and I’m pretty sure he can read but does he know how the moon pulls the tide? Did he know the earth wasn’t flat until he saw a globe for the first time?

Have we as individuals been bamboozled by the stoic gothic refinement of luxury that Mihawk projects we completely overlooked they fact the guy probably doesn’t know salt is a rock? Like wanna bet he saw how cool the over the top refined gay goth was and just like tailored that too his vibe but he’s never actually read a classic in his life?

What I’m trying to get at is Shanks who grew up around some of the smartest people in the world who spoke multiple languages, one was a doctor and you know Rayliegh who definitely doubled as a quartermaster might have a higher education then Mihawk.

Like I think it would be funny if Shanks was the guy who read books on Philosophy and artistic historical movements throughout the world (cough to impress Mihawk cough) and Mihawk doesn’t know how fish breathe underwater and has never read anything higher the a YA novel. (Which are awesome books but talk about reading a book by its cover! Lol… I’ll see myself out.)

the rose-xiao long family doesn't seem to be made out of money—in after the fall ruby outright says she made her outfit herself and implies that she shops in thrift shops otherwise—so i'd really like to know how yang got her bike bc that thing does not look cheap.

[eplettmaster25]

I love the marauders and I love the most warm, completing, fluff and comfort I get from it, but I hate the pain. The pain hurts so bad. It’s the most heart wrenching, painful despair a fandom can ever generate.

I felt an ounce of what I felt last year of joy, warmth and love. When I was constantly reading and thinking about them, but then I opened ao3 and tumblr and remembered the pain. I yearn for the completeness I felt last year, but I despise the gut wrenching feeling the pain it brings. Therefore I will now I only be allowing myself one fluffiest of the fluff fic there is a week and closing myself off from any negative emotions this fandom brings me.

Thanks for listening to my ted talk xoxo 😘

wip priority list

the sweetness of honey — JayTim. Reverse Robins. AOB. After Jason is captured and given to Tim as a gift, he goes into heat. Tim claims him as his mate… and now the two have to figure out how to navigate their lives together in between secrets, family drama, and their own insecurities.

teenage fantasies — JayTim. Canon ‘verse. Twin fics exploring two separate teen fantasies of Jason & Tim’s. The first fic is done, the second I… have technically started but scrapped everything for. It deals with Jason fantasizing about Wonder Woman, and the lasso of truth… and their homemade recreation using modified truth pollen & rope.

honey, cardamom, and coffee — JayTimJay. I haven’t actually decided on an order for that title yet but it will feature some combination of those 3 things. Sequel to smoke, cloves, and honey, in which Omega Jason from the alternate universe brings Alpha Jason over to stay with him & his mate. I have some things written but no coherent plot yet.

vampire dick sequel — RobinPile, with a spotlight on DickSteph. The second step in Dick’s plan to make all of the Robins his own.

dom!omega ‘verse — JayTim. I have more plans for this universe—starting with the next fic, where they officially start courting ;) Yeah, they’re doing things a bit out of order but that’s alright. I have a loose plot but no writing yet~

misc prompt fics — There are a few specific prompts that I have a lot written for I’ll be prioritizing first, including a JayTimSteph & Jaycest prompt, but any prompt will be fair game.

bonus: brujay first heat; brujay soothing voice; dicktim sex ed; and jaytim wingfic sequel.

i made one of these last year too but i made the choice to focus on events (ship/character weeks & a zine) instead.

the self-imposed rules of the list are: i will pick a handful of my wips to make a priority, which means these are the fics i want to focus on. i can work on any wip i want, on the list or not, but on days idk what to write, these are the ones i’ll do. and the list will be updated as i (hopefully) finish wips or if i reach an impasse.

the list is numbered but there is actually no particular order to them; i just like them that way for random rolling purposes… which is also why i kept it to 6 bc yeah, random number generators are great but i love dice shsjdj

Usurper Yandere x Powerless Prince

Qing Simei woke up first, slowly sitting up in bed to avoid exacerbating his absolutely awful hangover. The pounding in his skull fucking hurt, and the sunlight streaming in from the window wasn’t doing him any favors. He did a big stretch, savoring the lovely release of tension from his back, before groggily rubbing at his eyes. Had he woken up late? The windows by his bed were all west-facing, so the direct sunlight to the face was somewhat unusual.

He turned to his left only to find an unfamiliar wall and—who was that? Mussed hair, kissable lips, and a massive amount of hickeys polka-dotting the man’s neck and shoulders. His eyes followed the path of soft, silky black hair as it flowed over the man’s chest and under the blanket where he could see the trail of hickeys continue underneath it all. Holy fuck he chewed this man up. What was he, an animal? His face was already burning in embarrassment at the sight. It only got worse as memories of the previous night began to resurface. Hot, sticky and lurid scenes from only hours before floated to the forefront as he tried to think of literally anything other than the handsome reminder of his mistake sleeping next to him.

He practically jumped out of his skin as the man groaned sleepily and proceeded to wrap those deliciously muscled arms around his waist. “Go back to sleep, sweet thing,” the man purred, causing Simei’s heart to leap into his throat. The lazy kisses on his stomach weren’t helping either, further distracting him from the pressing issue at hand. He prodded at the arm around his waist, “I need to go,” he muttered aloud. The man’s eyes snapped open. “You’re running off?” he said with an accusatory glare, grip tightening on his midsection.

“I’ll be back,” he searched for some kind of excuse, “I just want to wash up, I promise.” There was a pause, but the other seemed to believe him and let him slip out of his constricting hold.

He escaped from the curtained bed and feigned a relaxed walk towards the partition that hid the washbasin. Thankfully, he found his dark brown puddle of clothing behind the folding screen where he’d been bent over before they’d even made it to the bed. He hurriedly dressed himself, putting on his outer layers and belt before frantically tying up his hair so he wouldn’t look like a mess. Well, any more like a mess than he already did. If he had time he should at least check in the mirror for any visible hickeys. He quickly put on his shoes so he could take a sneaky glance back over the partition to gauge if the other man had caught on yet. He peeked over the thing, only to make direct eye contact with the other man who could probably only see the top of his head from their spot on the bed. That was enough, however, as his plans to flee were given away by the hastily placed hairpiece atop his haphazardly tied up hair. He froze, caught in the act. All those beautiful muscles tensed, and something primal in him instinctively knew he had to run. Just as the man lunged, he broke eye contact to clumsily scramble out the window.

He landed with a thud, the almost collision giving a poor vendor a terrible fright as he narrowly avoided skewering himself on sticks of candied fruit. Throwing out a half-baked apology, he saw his pursuer in his peripheral vision and bolted like a frightened deer. He ran as fast as he could, hoping to lose him within the sprawling streets of the capital. After taking a couple shortcuts through the winding streets, he made it to the palace walls. He scaled the wall with help from the great peach tree that grew inside, the pink petals raining down as his weight made the branches shake. He climbed down from the boughs just as one of the guards came around the corner.

“You!” the armed guard rushed over, “You’re in so much trouble, young man!” The older man dragged him along towards the emperor’s quarters. “Slinking about is unbefitting of a prince!” he scolded, “His Majesty had us searching the palace grounds all morning for your lousy ass!”

“Sorry, things, uh, kind of got out of hand,” Qing Simei responded sheepishly, “the plan was to be back by dawn.”

“Stick to the plan next time, wouldja? You nearly got my ass beat and the Crown Prince is already on edge with whatever shit the nobles got going on.”

He let go of his arm once the two of them reached the emperor’s chambers. A eunuch announced the arrival of the younger prince, who bowed low before greeting his father and brother. He kept his gaze riveted to the floor, fighting the wave of embarrassment that threatened to drown him. The soft clink of teacups being put down and the rustling of cloth were the only noises in the room.

“You may rise,” the emperor remarked, “Skulking about is unbecoming. Only a guilty man sneaks around like a rat.”

“Forgive me father,” he dropped to his knees, “I was careless. I should’ve acquired permission before leaving the palace.” His brother leveled a stern look at him.

“What was it that you were doing to warrant such secrecy?”

“I went out drinking…” an arched eyebrow implicitly asked him why he didn’t raid the palace’s wine store, “in a gambling den in the city.”

His father sighed, “Don't let the ruckus you caused today happen again,” but the disappointment in his tone was laced with something lighter. He gestured for them to leave the room, probably so he could have some time for himself since his morning was upturned by this fiasco.

The Crown Prince smoothly rose to his feet, “I’ll walk you to your quarters.”

Qing Simei scrambled to his feet, having to take a second since the ground seemed to lurch beneath him for a moment. He hopped over the threshold and trotted after his brother, who was already making his way down the path with his hands clasped behind his back. “Sorry for worrying you and father,” he said sheepishly.

“At least tell me next time you decide to pull a stunt like this,” his older brother responded, “if I knew who you were with, this wouldn’t have happened. We were about to issue a citywide lockdown.”

“Are you saying you’d cover for me?” he gave the other an odd look.

“I’m not promising anything, but there are many who might seek to use you,” he pinched the younger’s cheek, “and if you did do something stupid, it’d be too late for us to bail you out of trouble.”

“Augh, I cut it out!” he grumbled, “I get it, I get it! I should’ve known better!” When he was released, he rubbed at his now pinker cheek and pouted. The Crown Prince coughed loudly in a poorly disguised attempt to hide his snort. He was about to retort when something in the corner of his eye made him freeze in his tracks. Hot mystery morning man was here, in the palace. He stood in the sunny courtyard, dressed in a glorious deep burgundy, and cutting a formidable figure with his stern expression. His sibling noticed his ogling, quirking an eyebrow and slowing down slightly so as to not leave him behind. Oh shit, he was being super obvious about it, wasn’t he? Ducking his head and hoping that the shadow of the shaded walkway would hide him, he sidled up to his brother.

“Who’s that in the red?” the other turned to look and he quickly covered his face hissing, “Don't tip him off!”

The Crown Prince rolled his eyes, “You’re the one kicking up a fuss. Are you talking about the one in the maroon with the black belt?”

“Yes that one!”

“Tong Xinjia?”

“Tong Xinjia? Shit!”

“How do you know him?” his brother’s eyes narrowed, his expression shuttering closed, “You’ve never taken an interest in politics before.”

“Uh, I was just curious,” he trailed off as he saw his brother’s dubious expression, “you’re not buying that are you?”

He briefly considered lying, but knew his brother would see through him immediately and assume that he and his mother’s family were looking to vie for the throne. “Okay, fine! I bumped into him at the gambling den, but I didn’t realize he was someone important!”

“You just happened to encounter them?” He wasn’t in the clear yet.

“He was pretty, okay? I didn’t know who he was! I’m never at Court meetings anyway so how was I supposed to know? You know I’m a sucker for a pretty face!” he explained, hiding the tinge of fear behind overblown exasperation.

“Well, avoid him in the future. His family is the head of the opposing faction and we can’t afford to have you be deceived by pretty lies,” his brother’s expression opened up again, and he could tell the wall had come down. He gave him a pat on the shoulder, stating, “I’ll find you a proper gambling buddy.”

“Oh no it’s fine—” he received a pointed look and deflated, “yeah, I suppose it would be a shame to let all your hard work go to waste.” It was no use fighting his brother on these matters anyway.

By then the two of them had arrived at his end of the palace compound. Hopefully they would part ways here and they could leave it at that.

“Good. Let’s get you some soup for your hangover as well.” Rather than leaving, the Crown prince proceeded to enter and began ordering around Simei’s servants.

“Oh no you really don’t have to…” he trailed off, futilely standing in the doorway, kind of hoping his brother would get the idea and leave.

The man in question was not picking up on the cues, perhaps purposely so. “It’s no issue, I have some time before my next meeting and it’s been a good while since we’ve talked.”

Qing Simei closed his eyes for a moment and fought the urge to sigh. Deep breaths, it’d be over soon. His brother would leave as soon as his suspicions were dispelled. He just had to humor him for a bit and then he’d get some lovely peace and quiet.

“Sit down, sit down,” the Crown Prince urged, “Have some tea while the soup is being prepared.”

Begrudgingly, he sat down beside his brother as he felt the sting of being treated like a guest in his own space.

[OC] Ninomiya Kanako (Kana) - Character Profile

🍎The cold but resolute asocial who's obsessed with her Family! Ninomiya Kanako!🍎

You can go to this link to our Oniyanagi Wiki site for her full character page!

"Kurumi is my twin, so do treat her well. That's neither a request nor a suggestion."

Kana is one of the two 10th generation bosses of the Oniyanagi yakuza family (alongside Kurumi). She is a talented assassin who's fortunately currently under a temporary restriction, so you're totally safe as long as you don't get in her way.

Age: 15 Birthday: December 13 Zodiac Sign: ♐︎Sagittarius Height: 157cm Weight: 46.5kg Gender: ? Country of origin: Japan MBTI: ISFJ Favorite author: Osamu Dazai Favorite food: "Anything sweet will do", Kurumi's cooking

✦•····································•✦•····································•✦

PERSONALITY: As if she's in a perpetual game of poker, she keeps her cards close to her chest with an unreadable expression.

Kana has a stoic demeanor and her expressions are often devoid of any emotion (even in the face of life-threatening situations). When she does show it, it usually means bad things (not for her). She is also a natural liar and can be very manipulative.

She's an old soul who doesn't like wasting time on things that don't matter. She doesn't have any special interests and also doesn't derive any pleasure or regret from her talent, or so what she says. When in truth, she has a large amount of hidden bloodlust that she has trained to keep under control - for her Family's peace of mind.

One of the very few exceptions that stands out from this dull and empty existence is her love for her twin. Kurumi's safety is also your safety.

SPECIALTY: If it's for her Family, there is nothing she won't cut down.

Kana is a swordsman but she also has a special talent for assassination. She can somehow use any item into a murder weapon, no matter if it's a pencil, a soda can, a piece of twig or even a toilet paper. It's also easy for her to hide her presence because her footsteps has no sound (even when she's running in the rain). Out of habit, she sleeps with her eyes open and it creeps a lot of people out.

DAILY LIFE: Despite certain difficulties, she wants the people that she cherishes to live freely and be true to themselves.

Her Family members are quite the pieces of work - a very lonely, miserable and dishonest bunch looking for a place to belong in this fleeting world. And she is also the same as them. Caring for this Family (in her own way) is a responsibility she took on for herself. She promised, after all. So they should just do whatever their heart desires. Because she's not able to do so for herself anymore.

—Within reason, of course. If Yui were to start causing construction work level noise while working on his robot projects at ungodly hours, she won't hesitate to punch a hole through the wall and tell him to keep it down. If some asshole scum of the earth is trying to court Kurumi? Unacceptable. Fortunately, accidental deaths are a common occurrence.

RELATIONSHIPS: A new school doesn't change anything for her...supposedly.

Reborn: No comment.

Tsuna & Lambo: Don't get ahead of yourselves just because Kurumi is fond of you.

Gokudera: His sister's cooking isn't that bad. Skill issue.

Yamamoto: He's a good kid.

Hibari: This bastard's gonna have to graduate from middle school at some point, right?

Dr. Shamal: There are people in this world who deserve to die. But fellow weeds don't die so easily, don't they?

✦•····································•✦•····································•✦

Thank you for taking the time to read this! This character...is kindaaaa complicated, so I have a bit of a difficulty coming up with words for her profile. This character can pack so much spoilers lmao. Anyway, I did my best (lol).

Any questions about her or the story is very much appreciated! For credits, all Oniyanagi OCs are by me and @amiahoshi! While for the intro audio, Kana is voiced by erushaVA and I also got the background music here from MusMus! The audio art used above is inspired from En/kidu's April Fools art lmao:

"Kana outright doesn't care and doesn't think about gender or pronouns."

The next one will be Yui's, but that will be for late-July/early-August since I'll be too busy studying in the coming weeks. I think I'll start on the webcomic once I'm done with Yui's ref sheet.
