#remote learning life

[littlebitarue]

October 6, 2024

I’m still adjusting to this grad school and unemployment life. It’s been a month and a half now I should have adjusted by now. You’d think that right? Still haven’t adjusted. Feeling very lost and confused right now but I’m learning and growing and hopefully things start to lighten up soon.

Have you seen that short where Marcille goes to an "ex-dungeon lord support group"?? It's so funny that it EXISTS at all but it ends with her being awkward because everyone there lost something great and she's sitting there like "uh... I lost the will to do my hair." But it's so sweet because her hair is styled in that short by someone who cares for her 🥺

I did!! If I recall correctly, I think Pattadol actually set it up because she wants to help former dungeon lords heal?? It's very sweet and also SO funny.

And kind of tragic. Marcille thinks she got off easy because she doesn't remember how much she used to love taking care of her hair. It was such a huge part of who she was as a person and now she doesn't even remember it well enough to grieve it. She says "oh well, I guess I'll cut it short" like she didn't spend years growing it and taking care of it. Like it wasn't a point of pride for her, like it wasn't something she really loved about herself.

Sure. It's not as bad as what happened to Mithrun and Thistle, who had their entire selves taken away. But the demon still took a fundamental part of her in an active attempt to make her more vulnerable, and she doesn't even think it was a big deal...

YOOOO! Requests!?!? Dont mind if I do!!!

I love your drawning style so just imagine a hypothetical scenario;

Deep forest, wolfs howling to the full solar eclipse. Just imagine!!!

Hahah, but absolutelly no pressure, I just think it would be quite neat!!! Adore your art and hope to see more in the close future!! :DDD

Ok, so this was really out of my comfort zone. Usually when it comes to art requests I just do sketches, but I went all out for this one. It is by no means perfect, but I had fun! I might post this one as an individual work, but either way here ya go:

my toxic trait is that i fully believe i can figure out how to knit any pattern i see because im like "i literally just have to follow the instructions. how hard can it be to eventually figure it out."

i JUST learned how to knit with a sock and im like how hard is a fair isle vest with steeking REALLY (<- insane and stubborn)

If saving nature via a conservation park makes refugees/IDPs out of indigenous people, it isn't real conservation: it some sort of unrealistic fantasy ideal of nature free of human touch. Humans are an important keystone species regardless of how much we like to demonize ourselves as some sort of plague killing the planet.

Had the perfect chance to talk to him, he mumbled something under his breath and I said “what?” And then he said it again louder but I still couldn’t hear him so I was like…..must not be talking to me anyways….idk….

Hello, it has been a while!

The year 2023 has been strange for me in many good and bad ways. It was mostly good, but my brain likes to make things spicy sometimes. I miss writing here and discussing how I was progressing with Japanese, but I also felt that because I took a long break and pursued other things both career and education-wise, people would be less interested in what I was up to.

I would be lying if I said I didn't feel lost in the past year, but I'd also be lying if I said that I wasn't blessed a hundredfold. When I stopped and thought about it, I was blessed more than I ever thought was possible, imagined, or even dreamed about. Started my new remote career which I enjoy due to the amount of things I learn from my kind coworkers, and acquired a full scholarship for my Master of Business Administration. Yet some days, I still felt incredibly lonely, and often still do, even though I should have been very grateful instead.

In all the chaos in my heart and mind, I forgot that I started this blog for myself; I enjoyed putting my thoughts into words and rambling about the things I liked no matter how small. It was my online affirmation notebook of the simple successes I celebrated every week or so. It wasn't much, but I'd like to start writing again, hopefully, more consistently and with less pressure on myself to do so.

There are lots of things I wish to work on in the new year. I know that it could have been on any other day of the year, but it just feels like a fresh start, a new page, and I’d like to start by being kinder to myself.

Here's to better days ahead! ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧

P.S. I may not have done a lot of language learning in the past year, but I certainly did not skip a day of Anki! ♡

me having a conversation with my mom about her childhood: wow just like succession...

kind of always disliked that the mouthpiece audience stand-in used to indicate the pure breadth of the world-shattering betrayal the halonic faith has inflicted on ishgard, the pain and grief of having your entire paradigm of how you see with and interact with the world and how you view the war that you've been forced to fight in, lost friends and family to and suffered abuses at the hands of the church that were 'justified' in the name of halone and the grind of the DSW, that everything you fought for and suffered through was not only a lie but a war crime bc in actuality you were fighting and killing children and the extreme sense of world-rending disgust with yourself and pure raw rage at the vault which has willingly, without your consent or knowledge, made you into a murderer of the worst kind, all riding on the back of a literally world-altering disaster that forced you out of your home and made you run for your very life and the pure cultural grief considering that the holy see lost literally all of fucking coerthas in the calamity only five years ago is not the guy in this conversation who is actually ishgardian and has lived through all of the above but rather a sharlayan national with no connection to this conflict who's been living in ishgard for like two weeks
