Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

my ipad ran out of storage. again. so we're back to the beautiful and wondrous sketchbook.

more art for the Heaven's Unofficial Blessing

#oh paper and pen they could never make me abandon you #will you screw up my lines with your slick glass screen and clackety clack plastic $150 pen that weighs half a ton? nope.#will you freeze up every six minutes and delete all my progress? nope.#why does technology suck so bad nowadays i've only had this thing for TWO years. i've offloaded every single app.#i have five gigs of storage left and it's STILL refusing to work #if you're considering buying an ipad for drawing DO NOT. save yourself the headache and get a drawing tablet they can go as low as $50 #original art #chu han contention #chinese history

it is with much regret for all the felled trees required that i admit printing all my dozens of pages of readings every week onto physical paper and highlighting as i go with a real marker makes it way easier for me to focus and actually absorb the material versus reading a pdf on a computer

#sasha speaks #though ive long been suspect of the 'print less to save the trees!' call to action #considering that the printer paper has already been made and purchased by the university #and therefore my using it or not using it has no different effect on the trees that were used to make it...#anyway. im an old fart at heart and doing things 'the old fashioned way' just works better for me #taking notes by hand w fountain pen. printing and highlighting my readings on paper. etc

If Izuku had seen Tomura wrap that cape around himself and stand there for a solid few minutes trying to get warm, he would have fully committed to saving him early. In my personal opinion

#'damn he's cold he needs to get warm' -> 'he is relatable in the little things and human just like me' -> 'i gotta save him'#thats totally how it would go. hori hand over the pen and paper imma set this right #bnha #shigaraki and midoriya #/lh #for the record this is a joke #mettys posts #metty posts

maybe i should have gone into practical effects instead of computer science...

#when i was in middle school i used to use red and black pens + spit for blending to make it look like the backs of my hands were torn open #i can't believe it's almost 4am. i just spent 5 hours typing up an essay about MM's erik that i just fuckin privated bc i was embarrassed #AND I STILL NEVER SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AAAAAAAA #i was right but im going to save all my points for the fanfic im currently planning out and promptly NEVER GOING TO ACTUALLY WRITE #I say shoving my plans for my h2o s3 rewrite off the table #yes i skipped from s2 to s3 i had a BRILLIANT idea [season 3 h2o spoilers ahead be wary my mutuals who are still watching]#okay so you know how lewis goes to the american institute of marine bio in the middle of 3? since this is tied to my s2 rewrite fic i wante #to actually finally reasonably re-introduced dr denman to the story because i never liked that she just fucked off at the end of s1 #despite WITNESSING the moon pool magic. so i made it so she runs into lewis while doing a presentation for the college and they have a chat #(because her JAW paper plays an important part in my s2 rewrite bc i imagine lewis is the kind of guy who SAYS he deleted every copy of #it... but ACTUALLY he secretly printed himself out a copy to study in private to compare to his own notes bc #[lewis voice] come *on* guys just THINK of the progress that he could make with this! [grabby hands in front of chest])#so yeah they have a chat and Linda kind of gives Lewis the opposite dilemma in s3 that Louise gives him in s1 about science and magic #since SHE knows about the moon pool and has been biding her time and she knows Lewis knows and Lewis is like ah... uh oh.#it will eventually tie into the idea it's not about forcing science and magic together or separating them #its abt respectfully and responsibly utilizing both to see their fullest potential. which lewis learned in s2 and Linda has... not.#BUT #later on she gets a call from 1 (one) ryan who is like 'hey so i heard u did environmental studies on mako for dr bennett a couple years ag #and i was wondering if you've seen anything weird there as im currently doing a-' and she's immediately like 'YOU SON OF A BITCH IM IN'#and he's like 'wha-' and she's like 'i have already booked my plane tickets we're going to have a great time we have lots to talk about :)'#and wheeee now they have someone who knows about mermaids on their team and it's the perfect way to bring lewis back to relevancy in s3 :D #it also gives me reason to have two bad bitches (linda and sophie) meet and get to know each other which is not a dynamic ive seen in #any of the H2O fics i've ever read so im very hyped to delve into how they'll play off each other #also charlotte is there so technically three bad bitches (only in my au Charlotte never lost her tail and is part of the gang she just move #because she felt like she needed to leave to really be able to find herself without being in her grandmother's shadow but she comes back bc #well... it's season 3 mako is sounding the fucking emergency alarms everyone is showing up sdkghkfjhg)#im also so so so hyped to show u guys who's coming back in the s2 rewrite because it ISNT denman and i think everyone thinks it will be :3c #(i said she when telling ppl to look forward to a familiar face... but can u blame me for getting hype she's one of my favorite characters!#i love u H2O #cruddy rambles

Other people, mostly. Other people are always forgetting things. And they take one look at me and think "Here Is A Person Who Has Spares"; and they are correct. I give out pads and repair small holes in clothes often. Hand out charging blocks for 10 minutes. Pull out crayons/erasable colour pencils and a small book for little kids to draw in when i find myself stuck waiting with bored children. I have cleaning wipes. Both for people and things. Painkillers. Nitroglycerin (it's for me).

I also carry everything I might need In Case Of Emergency, because I don't want to be repacking my bag. I might forget something. I want to be ready to be delayed for 2 hours somewhere because I had another dizzy spell so bad i cannot ride my trike (thing that has happened. Happens maybe once a year? Twice? Other times i wait much less time). I want to be ready for an overnight stay in a bomb shelter if required. I don't think it LIKELY, but it's my benchmark.

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours

#preparedness is how I channel my hupervigilance #also anxiety #preparedness DID save my life that one time #because I was teaching my 4yo how to contact dad in an emergency #and we hadn't quite gotten there but we got far enough that i needed ro do minimal things when I had a stroke for them to skype their dad #which saves me from freezing to death in my own doorway #i also had a full stock of all the stuff we ran short of at the start of the covid lockdowns #it's got it's ups and it's downs really #even my SMALLEST bag setting includes a small toy suitable for children 5 and up and crayons/paper #you have no idea how much more pleasent Waiting is without Bored Children #until you've taken it upon yourself to never do that #kids get bored that's life #and parents are often harried #my most basic setting is #medical stuff which includes the spare pads crayon art supplies plus pen charging stuff wallet phone headset keys and wipes #and we spiral put from there #oh right and the kids toy #also an apple sauce pouch and water bottle

Could not be more tragic that only 1 year ago my mom shelled out $900 so that I could get a touchscreen laptop and then 5 months later my bf stepped on it and destroyed the screen so I had to replace the screen and now I can't get the stylus to work on it :/

#the whole point of a touch screen is so i can handwrite notes but im not writing with my finger #thats ridiculous and would slow me down like crazy. being able to handwrite with a pen #saves so much paper and lets me organize way better #and now its just fucked and bc hp is a fucking scam i cant get any advice from the internet #not even the dweebs on reddit like to deal with hp

I'm a puzzle of all the people I ever loved blah blah blah

#theres a pen on my nightstand. it was gift to me by my (then) best friend she brought it back from disneyland because she knew i really #wanted to go. it doesnt even work anymore but i dont have the heart to throw it away #pinned on my wall is a letter she gave me. we fought and made up but we never were that close again. its still one of the most beautiful #things anyone has ever said (written?) about me #she always corrected me on a very specific grammar thing. ive said it correctly ever since and now i tend to correct other people #mcdonalds will always remind me of a friend #songs that i have saved in various playlists because different people recommended them to me #the smell of smoke (and worse of that stupid fucking iqos)#a stuffed animal that was a middle school birthday gift #in everything theres some kind of connection to anyone ive ever loved or i ever knew or i ever was #i wonder if she still has that paper rose i mader for her

Some personal examples include:

Fancy Hairbrush and Mirror set

Detailed Trinket Dishes

Mortar and Pestle

High Quality Lip Balms

New Bedsheets/Comforters

Pens and Notebooks

Hair Accessories

Hygiene Products/Makeup

Jewelry

upgrade your life by taking note of the objects you use most and slowly replace them with the most beautiful and high-quality versions of those things you can find.

#i mean this. buying high quality pens you dont have to worry about bleeding or smearing on the paper is a game changer for me #get the good lip balm #it will save you during these fall and winter months #got some good hairties and they no longer get stuck and rip out my hair #getting better makeup and facial treatments(cleanser moisturizer ect) has saved my skin from breaking out so much #replaced my grinder with a mortar and pestle now i feel cuter when i smoke #couldn't stand wearing tarnished jewelry :(

#my dad challenge stop asking me when i'm gonna get a girlfriend (masked under progressive-ish language) [impossible]#why does he have to place so much importance in having a partner idgaf and i'm not telling him 100% sure he's not gonna take it well #(despite him saying he just wants to know whether i share his view that having a partner is like the best thing ever and will respect me no #matter what. dude thought asexuality = narcissism (sort of. he said it's the same as onanism which makes literally 0 sense but ok))#also stop calling anything definitions and forgetting everything i've told him every goddang time to ask the same questions phrased #slightly differently and stop saying extremely annoying stuff and not getting the deal of identities. it's not how one ''defines'' themself #it's how one is. then the definition is just for ease of communication.))#damn venting like this saves a bunch of time back in the day (2-4 years ago lmao) i would've taken like 20min writing this in code in a #sort of diary i put together. much less cathartic though #didn't get to almost cut through the paper with my pen for half an hour (which i would've done if i wrote it on the coded diary)#but it took me much less #also very weird feels more and less thoughtful than the diary felt

Me: trying to prepare myself for the emotional warfare of EoS Part 2.

#yall are the best fandom support #I feel like a little kid and your patting my head before handing me a paper bag of lunch as I go off to school #and simultaneously like Captain America heading off to war to save Bucky and getting his shield etc from Howard and Peggy #and also doing a juice cleanse five puffs of my inhaler and an epi pen just to ensure I am ready to survive this on pure shock factor alone #lmao #I will never be ready #here we go again #fangirl problems #my brain right now #the little lad dance #this gif haunts me #Maasverse #I love tumblr #all support systems a go #Empire of Storms #EoS #first read #currently reading #just started part 2 #read along #read with me #I love this fandom #SJM #scared prepared and probably going to tumblr overshare #SARAH DONT DESTROY ME COMPLETELY PLEASE #possibly gonna prepare the tandem read switch #my library is in charge #we’re not at the final 100 yet I’m just training for the book heartbreak marathon lol #hey google play eye of the tiger but the bells version from new girl #no spoilers please
