Quarantine Challenge!

Hi girls! Not far from today, a post here on Tumblr inspired me to make this challenge (thanks @ivarsrideordie​ for reblogging and @laketaj24​ for creating my inspiration!) and so, I decided to go forward with this chance to make our quarantine period a little better. I think like you writers, like me, are feeling blocked by all this tension and some of us (again, like me!) can't stop thinking about all that's happening around us and the whole impact it has in our lives. So, I want this challenge to be something to lower our anxiety and maybe help to unblock our minds and open it to writing once again!

So, let's begin!

The rules are simple:

1. It's Quarantine Time! - The reason is on you: a disease spreading outside, a siege, some ritual is happening outside... Something is out of their control and you must remain home for a minimum period of 15 days. No less, but more if you want!

2. No outside for you guys! - The maximum your characters can do is to go out for supplies - which is still a dangerous task so, work over this danger if you want! Other reasons to go outside are forbidden and doors and windows must be closed or you can open it just for a small period of time every day. 

3. Choose your Viking pairs! - Anyone from Vikings or The Last Kingdom is permitted and you can choose 1 or 2 pairs to be confined with your character during this period. Collective confinement is permitted, but only if your fiction has an acceptable justification for the whole troupe to be home at the same time ok? (and good luck to prevent Ivar from killing Sigurd in the middle of this mess... ahaha).

4. It happens any time... - Modern AU, Viking Age AU, choose your time! Free choice.

5. People do anything when confined! - Feel free to put your characters in any kind of situation: fluffy, romance, smut... Free theme! (Just don't forget the warnings ok?). Moodboards, edits, fictions, anything!

6. It ends sometime. - Fictions that describe the end of the quarantine are also permitted! Feel free to tell us how will it be to go out after a long time together and isolated! 

7. But we don't know when... - No deadline. The challenge is on for as long as this period of quarantine lasts. We must keep our heads occupied so, let us try to make it good for us writers and for our readers!

Funny moments, sexy moments, reconciliations of exes locked together, anything you guys want to produce. Let us keep producing, posting, moving this community... And having each other's backs once we cannot hold each other's hands for a while. Tag me in your posts and post it with the hashtag #QuarantineChallenge and let us try to put some light over these dark times together! I love ya all!

Sloane was curious. Who were these strange men? Where did they come from? One thing was for sure, they had her full attention. She felt like a cat who caught two mice, but instead of mice, she found a fox and lion. All three in one room, sizing each other up.

The brown-haired one stepped forward, “Lucky for you we found this place, must be lonely here all by yourself.” His voice was deep and raspy.

Sloane rolled her eyes, clearly agitated, “I don’t need protection, Rapunzel.”

The tall one snickered, “She bites, brother.” Half his face obscured by his dirty blonde hair, one blue eye fixed on her brown eyes.

“I’m Harald,” the shorter one said, “this is my brother, Halfdan.”

“I don’t care. Find another building; this one's taken.”

Halfdan walked past her, sitting at the kitchen table and unwrapping a loaf of bread. He took his time, a shit-eating grin lingering on his lips the whole time.

Feeling challenged, Sloane moved to the table, placing her palms down on it as she focused on him. His blue eyes roaming her form, taking her in, before he met her gaze.

“You got something to say blondie?”

“We’re supposed to listen to you? Hmm? What if we don’t want to leave?”

“I don’t care what you want.”

Halfdan stood abruptly, closing the space between them and forcing her to stand up straight.

“Do you know who we are?” His voice dropping to a low whisper.

“Think I care?”  

Harald stepped in, his hand on his brother's shoulder as his eyes found Sloanes. They were softer than Halfdans eyes, still they held a darkness. 

“I have a proposal; one day,” Harald said, “give us a day. Then, we’ll go.”

“You have until sunrise.” Sloane replied, she could see Halfdan move from the corner of her eye, like a shadow he now stood behind her; his fingers lightly touching the tips of her hair.

“What is your name?”

"Halfdan..." Harald started to interrupt him, to diffuse the situation. 

"It's rude, isn't it? Where are your matters, pussycat?"

Sloane couldn't deny the sensation on her skin from both of them. She was leaving now more so to give herself a break. To put some space between herself and the mysterious men. Clearing her throat, she tapped on her wrist where a watch would be, “Sunrise."

When she left the apartment, the feeling of air in her lungs returned. She wasn't sure what she would do if they were still there in the morning.

Sunrise came and went, Sloanes unwanted visitors, unsurprisingly, did not heed her warning. But she didn’t know this, at least not yet. Due to her stubborn nature, she still didn't learn her human tolerance was shit; she couldn't drink as she used too. 

The uncomfortable position on the couch woke her from sleep; her body sore and achy. After showering, she made her way downstairs to see if the boys where there. 

The apartment was empty but without signs of their presence. Somehow, in one night, they made it look like they’ve lived there for a week. They had no intention of leaving, that was clear. But where were they? What kind of runs were these two on?

To keep busy while she waited, Sloane made herself comfortable. She rummaged through their things; putting together a picture of who these men were. Once she was bored with that, she put on some records and perched on the couch. Cutting up one of their apples with her blade. 

Moments late they returned. When the door opened, neither seemed too surprised to see her, walking in and setting down the two duffle bags as they normally would.

“What a pleasant surprise,” Harald said, “and what brings you here?”

“I said sunrise.”

Halfdan leaned on the back of the love seat, rubbing his hands together, “We decided that didn’t work for us.”

“What my brother is trying to say is, we don’t see why we can't all live here together.”

“I don’t share.” She replied sharply. Despite her tone and the annoyance on her face, the truth was she was bored. These two the first exciting thing to happen in weeks. 

“Know what I think brother,” Halfdan moved to the couch, taking the apple from her hand and biting into it, “Kitty wants us to stay.”

Harald didn't reply, but from the look he shared with his brother, it was clear he agreed; both read her like a book, and she wasn't even that mad about it.

“I’ll think it over boys. Next time you see me,” she hopped off the couch, “I’ll either kill you or invite you to stay.” 

Sloane purposely held their gaze with her form as she reached the door, their eyes burning into her. What they couldn't see was the smile on her lips. Before leaving, she looked back at them,“my name is Sloane.” 

As she closed the door behind her she could hear them talk amongst themselves. She had them right where she wanted them, or, was it the other way around?

How do you spend the time on a rainy Saturday afternoon? Polishing silvers is one in my favourites. It’s like some kind of healing as the same as shoe polishing. I bought this @ Art Deco style coffee set made by @mappinandwebb in London.It is called a “ bachelor set” for coffee for one. It’s good to have something which you have to take care of in your life. #silvertableware #staysafe #quarantinechallenge #shoepolishing #travelphotography #leica #leicaq2 #yoshimihasegawa https://www.instagram.com/p/B_HQQgeJTGt/?igshid=s8e1ofewgzc3

2020 Quarantine Challenge: Week 1

Mon - Have you made a study schedule to help you study at home?

I have not! I am a list person, so I like to make a list at the beginning of my week with all the due dates, add numbers to indicate an order of importance, and then adjust as I go along. I use GoodNotes for this, since I have committed to going paperless/electronic this semester. My lists look really messy by the end of the week, with scribbles and annotations all over them, but it helps calm the chaos that is my mind!

Tue - How are you being taught your lessons? (google classroom, teams etc.)

My two traditional lectures are being carried out in Blackboard Collaborate. My laboratory is somehow being performed via a text chat that the students must log into in order to get the material... it’s a little pointless, but the lab is supplemental to one of my lectures so I’m mostly concerned about my grade. My one online class has gone mostly uninterrupted, excluding the week the entire school shut down, and it’s mostly reading and self-teaching.

Wed - What’s your favourite study snack?

I like anything that won’t get my hands dirty, because I don’t like getting my devices (and paper, when I was paper-based) messy. I also tend to not go for things that require utensils as that takes away from my studying.

Despite these preferences, I often find myself neglecting to snack during study time because I do get invested in my courses. I ALWAYS have a drink with me, usually a sweet iced tea of sorts, and will nosh on something on my breaks or when I go downstairs to refill my drink.

Thu - How are you keeping active?

My boyfriend and I like to take long walks to the dumpster and mailbox after he comes home from work at night. Besides that, I haven’t been very active I suppose. I take the stairs in my house more frequently than ever now that I’m home so often! I’ve mostly been focusing on eating less portion-wise and healthier foods.

Fri - What is your favourite subject/topic to study at the moment?

I find biology to be the most fulfilling of my classes. I have really been able to see the effects of my study habits this semester and due to that I enjoy it more!

Yesterday I participated in a discussion forum in my religions class (that started this week) and was able to compare defining religion to defining a mental illness. I was really invested in the entire discussion and honestly anticipate loving this class.

Sat - Where in your house is your favourite place to study?

I prefer to study in my room, at my desk. I use my desk almost exclusively for school-related tasks (and the occasional video game, as I keep my laptop there), so my desk is like a little study haven for me!

Sun - What are you doing to relax?

My boyfriend and I had a Frozen marathon on Wednesday! Since then, we’ve watched a Disney movie every night while using our phones, cuddling, or doing our own crafts. I also find our walks soothing. Spending quality time with him makes me feel really good, so I aim to just sit and talk with him for at least 30 minutes without distractions.

I’ve also been picking up a lot of housework, which isn’t exactly relaxing, but soothes my anxiety. I also have been napping when I get tired! I will be returning to video games in the coming weeks, as I fixed my WiFi, ordered a WiiU, and may purchase Animal Crossing for my boyfriend’s Switch!

Aaaaaa I had so much fun reflecting on my week and my habits! Thank you @myhoneststudyblr for coming up with such thought-provoking questions (or at least I took them as such)! I’m not sure if I will do this as a weekly post or occasionally post daily ones with photos attached... tune in next week to find out. 💕

Пытаюсь успокоить себя предположением, что неминуемый набор веса в любом случае сделает остановку в точке, которая равна потребляемым калориям и их расходу. Будем спокойными пандами и подождём. А вот недоедание приведёт к потере мышечной массы. При возврате к привычному режиму тренировок в офлайне можно надеяться на потерю веса. Ведь произойдёт перевес в пользу затрат, вес то должен сдвинуться в минус. Главное, поддерживать мышцы на прежнем уровне. Мне это непросто, слишком много дел я нашла на самоизоляции @allwriter #planche #inspiration #workout #home #balance #livingroomcup #сваоздесь #pole_dance_insta #svao_moskwa #алтуфьевокарантин #quarantinechallenge #планка #онлайнтренировки #онлайнтренер #тренировкидома #pdblogger #pdblog #omalyshevapoledance #olgamalysheva #olgamalyshevapoledance #majestick #mspoledance #москва #свао #poledance #pole #poledanceсвао #poledanceалтуфьево #ольгамалышева #onlineтренер (at Танцевально-спортивная Pole Dance студия MajeStick - Маджестик) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Siw1ooOA-/?igshid=bxjky1lapbku

Coach baby and coach Lady Pounce have been helping me plan my comeback for our 4th Weekly #shelterinplacefamily5k this Saturday. If you missed the coverage in my stories, after two losses to me, @artiejohann came back strong and beat me by 20 seconds. And he’s even more of a #sorewinner than he is #soreloser. AND, he’s training hard as evidenced by the video (sound up for music choices). So, here we are, morning strategy sessions. Coach baby has even promised to try and stop waking me up as much overnight, so you know it’s serious. #quarantinelife #quarantinechallenge #stayhome #momvdad #theflash #trainhard #racehard #daydrink #trimom #momsohard #motherrunner #momswhotri #protriathlete #prowriter #teammom https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QhcoUBYLI/?igshid=v66exgfpql0p

Started as a joke, but I’ve had a few of you repost with your own, and they’re so funny, I’d like to make it official! This is the #quarantinechallenge ! In uncertain times like these, the best cure is always a smile. Make sure to use the hashtag and share what your experience has been like since the corona outbreak & living in quarantine. • • For me, the corona virus has been pretty 💩 (toilet pun intended). My entire routine has been thrown off. No practice, no gym, it’s been tough to stay motivated. Yesterday the @avpbeach also announced the beach 🏐 season won’t start until June instead of May and two tour stops have been cancelled altogether😭 For many of us, the current state of the economy probably feels like a metaphor for the status of our life. An absolute, volatile shit show. The current highlight of my existence is going to the grocery store. That’s probably why I keep eating all the snacks the day I buy them... so I can go back. I’ve gained some weight. Goodbye six pack. But I’ve also been able to focus on my art and be creative. Soooo... I’ve decided to create some at home workout videos, no equipment necessary to help motivate myself, and hopefully some of you to stay active until things go back to normal. I’m hoping we can hold each other accountable this way. Please comment if that’s something you’d be interested in and what body parts you want to work on the most! Will post Friday. Until then, stay inside & stay clean. Love ya all🖤😷 #REEFresh #quarantinechallenge #quarantineworkout #coronamemes #coronaviruschallenge #coronavirus https://www.instagram.com/p/B95FHMqhx80/?igshid=1cicgn0buigp1

Today I made Macha 抹茶 tiramisù which is going well with the green colour of another Wedgwood vintage espresso coffee cup circa 1960’s. This series is called April which has all different eight colours. In particularly the gold paint on the edge is beautiful handmade. The edge is very thin and easy to crack. I have to be very careful. It’s more delicate than modern Wedgwood. @wedgwood #vintage #tiramisu #homemade #antique #vintage #dolceitaliano #quarantinecooking #quarantinechallenge #coffeetime #covid_19 #stayhome https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cIyDfJ6ki/?igshid=1czozkt9fmawc
