#yayyy i finally get to ramble about my designs

[piowasthere]

I was wondering, why does you solar where a binder? :3

✨F A S H I O N✨

since he's not really human, like at all no skin, no muscle (we don't question the art style. never question the logic of thirst traps.)

so the binder doesn't really do anything for him

he just kinda likes the way it hugs him and keeps his chest warm while at the same time having a lot of ventilation to keep him cool (and if he gets cold, he just has the jacket on him anyways)

also cuz binders r hot af.

@the-elder-polls Hi TCS friday yayyy (i'm @bookworm-driven-insane btw this is my side blog for TES oc related stuffs/Djai RP. Kinda empty lmao)

SORRY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE PREVIOUS FRIDAY BUT!! I WAS COOKING FOR THIS ONE.

I have decided to draw a family tree of my khajiit!! Without their respective spouses, for now, because they aren't as important for this/in general. Basically the important members of the family only for now xD

Also, as a side note, only Djai and Eric's designs are final, others are a rough sketch only.

Lore below!!

At the top is (Ma')Eric, aka my nerevarine!! I'll ramble about his entire backstory sometime later. I have an outline of his backstory, but I haven't finished morrowind yet and I will complete his backstory once I finish it so it's as lore accurate as possible. x3

Long story short, he has twins, but has to give them away for their own safety because he himself gets death threats basically daily- and his children were already kidnapped once. Also he just doesn't have time, like, at all to care for them. Both twins are ohmes-raht btw!! [possibly. . . with the mix of some dunmer in there. . . but shhh. . . spoilers]

The one of the left ends up in an orphanage in Cyrodiil, before getting adopted by some necromancers. Again gonna ramble more about them later, but I have something planned for them already!!

The other one ends up in Elsweyr, and gets raised by a regular family. He actually has no idea that he is adopted his whole life, I mean, nobody told him and he had no reason to suspect that. He's also, like, a pretty shitty person. Has a talent for magic but never really uses it outside of charming people for his own gain.

He has two children, Murrsea [The one on the left, with a scar on her face] and Djai [the one on the right], Murrsea being two years younger than Djai.

Already rambled about Djai, so going to ramble about Murrsea, but in a more 'meta' way first.

Murrsea is actually really important to me!! She was a shared OC with one of my parents, I helped create and name her a long long time ago when they were playing skyrim and I wanted to watch them play [that was the first time I've ever seen an elder scrolls game, I didn't even know what it was back then]. Since they're not really into OC stuff, though, and they know that I am, they gifted Murrsea to me after finishing skyrim!! :'D Murrsea is also a mage [Duh, everyone in their family is. At least everyone in their family has a natural talent for magic]. She is pretty well-known for killing a dragon once (not completely ofc because she couldn't take its soul), and it was actually rumored she was the dragonborn. She, however, isn't the dragonborn- She's just a really really great battle mage. She took Djai's place when he resigned from being the archmage, and that's kind of what she does now.

I think that's all? Apologies for any mistakes. And once again, a lot of stuff I've written here will likely change later, but the core elements will likely stay.

Free Printable to do list!!!

Smash it to do list 💫

Hi guys!!! I decided that for my first original post I would try to make it special, (totally inspired by the awesome printables of @emmastudies!!) so I designed this cute a5 to do list (and it took WAY longer than I thought hahahaha but it was honestly so worth it)

i really love the sticky note to-do lists from Knock Knock Stationery, especially the ‘Get Your Shit Together’, ‘Productive AF’, ‘Today’s The Day’ and ‘Today’s Plan Of Attack’ options, but I always thought how helpful it would be if I combined what I liked about each of my favourite to do lists into one.

So for example, what I thought was great about the ‘Get Your Shit Together’ pad was how it compartmentalised tasks into easy and more difficult ones, which was a good way of figuring out what tasks to get done first and which to do later. But the ‘Today’s Plan of Attack’ pad compartmentalised tasks in a different way: based on how important/critical they were: most critical; would be nice; not a chance. I thought that it would be helpful to use both methods of compartmentalisation, because figuring out what was both easy and most critical but also the least important and most difficult would allow me to easily decide which tasks to get done first, based on two criteria. 

The ‘Today’s The Day’ pad was always perfect for me because the separation of tasks into ‘Morning’, ‘Afternoon’, and ‘Evening’ gave me enough structure to keep me focused on tasks, whilst not being too strict and confined for me too follow. Personally, I’ve always found that simply writing a long to-do list for the entire day was way too flexible and quite overwhelming - there wasn’t enough structure and guide in order to motivate me to get everything done. But equally, planning every single hour of my day into sections proved to be way too stifling for me, because I feel like it was unrealistic for me to actually follow the to-do list perfectly. I found that using the ‘morning; afternoon; evening’ method was perfect in giving me the flexibility I wanted but also the structure to organise myself and get stuff done. Additionally, since I am very a much a morning person, using this method was also very helpful in making me plan my day so it could be the most effective - i.e. placing the more difficult tasks in the morning and keeping the easier, shorter tasks in the afternoon and evening worked perfectly for me and enabled me to be my most productive! 

As a result, I decided to incorporate all of these elements into one to-do lists (which was quite a task in itself lol) but I’m quite happy with how it turned out! I wanted to put my own personal spin on the ‘‘Today’s Plan of Attack’ pad from the Knock Kncon Stationery range, so I represented the urgency of a task with the letter ‘U’ and three red exclamation marks for an extremely important task; two organe exclamation marks for an important task; and one green exclamation mark for a less important task. However, I pretty much kept the ‘Easy Shit’ / ‘Tough Shit’ aspect the same (except removing the swear word, trying to keep this PG haha) and the ‘Morning; Afternoon; Evening’ aspect the same too. I was also inspired by Ruby Granger’s Pumpkin Productivity ‘Master To Do List’ with regards to the key, because I absolutely loved the idea of colour coding tasks based on their estimated length of time, as this is another way of compartmentalising tasks based on a set of criteria. (as you can tell I’m all about compartmentalising haha ;) ) I also like the inclusion of a key based on what type of task you’re doing, which can be written in a specific colour, because it encourages you to vary your day and not be stuck on what type of task for too long (i.e. studying) as it’s important to make time to exercise, socialise, and relax!

I tried to organise the printable to be easy to use - choose a different colour pen for each type of task (using the key to distinguish which colour corresponds to which task) and then write them with a particular colour. Also colour code the timings based on your colour preference for short/medium/long tasks, and colour in the adjoining column marked 'L' based on how long each task will be. Then just cross off the tasks as you go along!

I also wanted to colour the background of the three separate times of the day to make the to-do list look a bit more fun, and I chose from my 3 favourite colours! 

So there we have it, my first original post yayyy and a free printable!! I sincerely apologise for how much rambling there is in this post but I’m just so excited that after so many hours I’ve finally finished with the printable to post it here!!! thank you x
