#it's a really cool notebook

[kinokoshoujoart]

oops all rock (springtime edition)

i’ll be able to draw digitally again soon! ;w; in the meantime i’ve been scribbling a lot on paper…

could not wait for Soon, so i resorted to coloring it using the markup tool in default iphone photos app (don’t do that ever again)

#my art #sos awl #debating whether to just dump my sketches from my soujourn to hell or save them to be transferred and finished as digital stuff #or like both idk. i don’t know how ppl feel about WIPs #i’m happy to post art again ;w; thank you everyone who welcomed me back i’m slowly getting through everything i missed while i was y’know #and thank you for the sweet messages while i was gone i am bbghkjh i need to calm myself and respond !!!! love #rock tumbling (sos) #story of seasons a wonderful life #bokumono #story of seasons #harvest moon #hm awl #harvest moon a wonderful life #bunny sighting 😳 i still have THOSE wips too #there’s certain things i wanna prioritize once i can use my tablet again and those are one of them #but i will also probably post new stuff alongside finishing old unfinished stuff….. i hope that is OK…… #idk i’ll have to talk more later! right now i am nervous!!! i love you all!!!! #fanart #awl rock #bokujou monogatari #hm anwl #unfortunately this scum neet still has my entire heart so. most of the notebook is just him pulling goofy faces… sorry…….. #also a lot of lumina and nami…. and molly…. they r really cool… #ceci is also cool and i’ve drawn a collage of her that i just. never posted #mostly drawing HMDS related stuff about the descendant characters #OK I’LL STOP TAGBLOGGING #i am once again back in DS for girl hell. i want to make a series of posts about differences in the English vs the Japanese version #and also fun secret things related to DS #this is all in the future i gotta finish all my unfinished stuff…. uuuu…. #i love you all mmmmmwah (i cast sleepy time blanket and sleep forever)

Look what I made!

It's my second time using the coptic binding method instead of case binding and I gotta say, as someone who messes up dimensions very often and can't cut paper in a straight line, this is way more ejoyable hehe

#so' speaks #I'm so happy with the results #I really like how it turned out! #I'm using sewing thread so it's not ideal but it looks pretty cool and it's still strong enough to hold everything in place! #I have way too many unused notebooks and learning how to make ones myself might have been the worst decision of my life hsjfjd #bookbinding

[lion-buddy]

i just want them to be real so bad

#soon. soonsoonsoons oosn #omg wait i havent shown off my Cool Swag black paper notebook here yet #anyway. yeah thats it. its really fun to draw in. ill maybe show some of the other stuff ive drawn. maybe i wont. idk #metallics show up so good tho #my pens r a little finicky tho idk if theres a better option out there #pc spoilers #my lighting is horrid. ill get good at taking pictures one day #PC

ok i wrote a little over 1k words today, somebody tell me they're proud of me :')

#THE TAGS ARE LONG SO BE WARNED!!! #and it's mostly ramblings so not a vent post #i have a good feeling about this draft #i mean i just started a new one but i have kind of a much clearer idea what i'm doing now #i have a notebook where i put a timeline of all the events and it's so helpful #though i have SOOOOO MUCH fantasy names and shit that i invented like a year ago and even though i have all the origins of the names noted #i have little idea how i got there #i even invented a whole calender that i'll use in this story (hopefully) and i'm so proud of this omg #i hope i get this draft finished one day bc it would be a really cool high fantasy book if i do it right yk #AND I'M SO PROUD OF MY MAGIC SYSTEM #it's reaaaaallly complex and i spend weeks figuring it out #though it's been a while since i wrote anything in this project and i don't have all the information on paper (in the notebook) yet #so the information is kinda spread throughout all the documents that i started for like little oneshots scenes and beginnings and stuff #and i have to find them all :') #but creating is soooo fun #but writing is a pain since march for some reason #i had a lot on my plate but also... that normally helped? #well i hope i'll get to write in september bc of semester break #i looked at my progress chart-thingy over the year and i wrote so much in feburary ;-; #i want this back plsssss #nowadays i only get to do like one poem in 2-3 days (and not even that!) and 90% of them are shit #ANYWAYS #thank you for reading all this if you did <3 #this was just me rambling lmao #i haven't posted much today aaaahhh but well i'm very tired and in pain :( #i wish weekends were longer man #period.cramps.are.shit. #personal

Behold. Son.

#This figure is SO STINKEN BIG!!!!! #My mom woke me up today for a very very long day with 'He you got a package' and just #Plopped him on my bedroom floor dfgjfdkjgkfd #$30 worth of PURE BOWSER MIGHT delivered FIRST THING THIS MORNING #I only am NOW getting to really admire him he's SO COOL #I can pull his back off for the battery back for the light in his mouth #But eeeeeeeeh I'll get to that later #My Mario figure goes up to his chin so a lllllllllittle taller than he should be probably #BUT MY JUNIOR FIGURE FROM THE CHESS SET IS PERFECT!!!! #I'm only missing a good Peach at this point really #God he's so COOL!!!!!! #Oh my thousands of notebooks are visible for the world to see oop #You now all know that I can literally never retain anything ever and will write it down nine times #There's just a list of ship names I've learned in one of those things.... #Anyway!!! Cool Bowser figure!!!! #My niece is going to loose her MIND over this thing

my partner told me that it's difficult it write internal dialogue of a character we've never heard the internal voice for. if there's no material then sometimes you need to project your own internal voice and I think that's the bullseye of my struggle lately.

(Oh to have more source material....wishing)

#personal #my partner is so cool #I think I know how I can approach it now #at least a little more constructively #humhums #time to hit the notebook #its been easier to write more! #when i started i could only do a quarter of a page #now its easy to hit 1 to 2 pgs a day :D #im really proud of that #even if a majority of it is waffling around at least i am writing something!

i cant believe fontaine finally cleaned up its archon quest writing and learned to Actually Proper Balance its npc screentime with its playable character screentime. and yet. AND YET!!! THIS is the nation where i end up hyperfixating on the historical figures with no official designs.

#rambling #genshin #i am DANGEROUSLY close to speedrunning the “hyperfixated on a blorbo > loosely based in canon headcanons > 'thats just your oc'” pipeline #with the narzissenkreuz institute kids #im dying so much to see what happens next that im just making up shit in my mind functionally 😭 #if they wont give me more quest for like another month then i will do it myself 💥💥 #but actually they should take their time with the quests. my impatience is my own fault and should not be the basis for a rushed story #anyways. i cant believe they finally got solid playable character writing in the archon quests #and instead of hyperfixating on lyney who checks like. almost EVERY blorbo preference box of mine. #im obsessed with an oceanid world quest 😭 and some random journals #something something tragedy something something #i think i just really loved the intrigue and mystery of it all. slowly finding all the notebooks and piecing together #who did what and wtf went down #was SO satisfying. it was so cool to figure out #i was live reacting to the oceanid quest in a discord channel with some friends and you could literally SEE my thought process go from #“this quest boring as shit idc about oceanid roleplay” to “oh wait they're actually commenting on the nostalgia themes now” to #“HEY WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE THE NAMES CONNECT?!?!” #especially since when i started doing all that the wiki didn't have character pages for most of the narzissenkreus institute kids #beyond like one to two sentences #and so the moment i saw that rene's page was like an actual paragraph and mentioned the kvarnah quest i was like HOLY FUCK #anyways!!!! genshin's writing has been surprisingly good recently #but still. i cant believe they finally managed to get me attached to a random npc! a random HISTORICAL npc for that matter!!!! #inazuma and sumeru wishes they had that #i think another part of it is that fontaine has been good about giving its historical figures consistent personality and character voices #and also character drama! like there's a LOT to latch onto here especially since they're letting you see it firsthand instead of only notes #and since they've tied it back to the present in a couple of very obvious ways it makes the connections easier to latch onto #and also since there's less people to worry about #i still don't understand inazuma history tbh. there were too many damn people and they all blended together in my mind... #they all had like overlapping jobs too ueghhjk #“this guy was a master of [weapon] and died in the catacylsm” describes like at least 3 people who are only ever mentioned in artifact sets

#i cant stop drawing devil flans help #they might be giants #tmbg #i actually drew a really cool drawing of him in my notebook but since scanning fucking ruin my drawings im not sharing it #maybe later who knows #john flansburgh #these are literally my fav drawings #mspaint

Somehow one of my old high school notebooks ended up at goodwill and not only did someone buy it, but they found my phone number and texted me 😬😬😬 which is… not cool, but also they turned out to be nice, so whatever, I guess

#I got this and started kinda freaking out because I had no idea what was in it #and how do people keep finding my phone number??? #damn I kinda hate this digital world #anyway I figured out that one of my trash bags got mixed in with my goodwill donations a couple of weeks back #and some goodwill worker actually looked through all the trash and thought ‘yeah someone will buy this old used notebook’ #anyway they sent me a pic of a couple of pages and I’m prettttty sure it’s all just dumb highschool stuff for tv broadcasting #but they were nice and it made me feel nostalgic to briefly talk about it with someone so I can’t be too mad #I mean… I dunno #maybe it’s some bored teenager and they find this weird notebook and want to know more about it #not that there’s anything too wild in there #really I vaguely remember flipping through it before tossing it and I don’t remember anything eye catching #if it had anything I really thought was important I probably would have kept it #and it’s about 15 years old so I’m of the mind that it’s aged past my need to worry what’s in it #eventually you get old enough that the stuff you did in your teens feels like someone else’s bullshit #like… 15 years on I’m barely the same person #whatever is embarrassing in there is embarrassing for teen Ian not current Ian #but wow… I really hope they didn’t pay for that #or that they at least got a few laughs out of it #that would actually make up for finding my number #if someone else can even briefly enjoy some of my old dumb stuff then that’s pretty cool #but also… how’d they get my fucking number!? #bleghhhh #for a second I hoped it was one of my old poetry books. #I would love to get one of those back #I used to have so many notebooks of my poetry #but ya know dumb teen-to-twenties Ian had to get all moody and trash them #well… that’s life I guess #ok anyway sorry to bother you #mine #text

[yellow-faerie]

Wow, I have a fic description and a fic title before I've even established a proper fic plot

(this is probably because I'm very excited about this fic and it's potential...)

Edit:

Here are my tags because I started explaining the plot and want it actually in the post rather than just the tags lol:

#Aziraphale gets removed from the book of life is like...the main plot #and - through various means - it is Crowley remembering him and bringing him back #(with guest star appearances from Adam and the Them on a school trip to yo London; Warlock #running away from his parents for the third time; Muriel who is cheerily *not* realising that they used to be a very powerful angel before #a mind wipe; Maggie and Nina dancing around the fact that Nina might very well be ready for that next step; Beelzebub and Gabriel both #visiting Crowley separately for couple's counselling (although *why* he cannot fathom; and the second coming of Christ #although she is not at all what heaven was planning - in fact #heaven didn't know she existed yet) #but it is also Crowley being miserable and lonely and kind of not knowing why #but being reminded of something until things start to fall into place #and then history is a bit weird until they defeat Metatron (fuck 'im) and put Aziraphale's name back #(this fic *really* makes me wish I could draw because a big part of it is that Eve #- the second coming of Christ - keeps getting visions of the past as it was when Aziraphale still existed #since she's technically God and i think God is probably the only one to whom edits to the book of life don't affect #and Crowley finds it #and I think it would be so cool to have like pages of notebook and sketches in between the fic writing) #GO2 #Good Omens Season 2 #Good Omens #Ineffable Husbands #because I wrote an essay in the tags of my own post instead of in the main body (like a fool) #Fae Rambles Into The Void #How To Make A Nightingale Sing #<- the current working title

[heavenlyyshecomes]

giggling reading these one star reviews of the new chloe gong book these tiktok ya authors somehow don't understand that a fantasy series will never survive on "cool worlds" + whatever choice of tropes is trending currently lol fantasy worlds and the characters' actions and motivations have zero meaning if you're not going to explain the world's socio-political workings but unfortunately these writers never ever focus on that

#when really theyre the most interesting parts of fantasy 2 me!! #like ok rebel girlboss wants to overthrow the monarchy for a better more equal kingdom or whatever but. how? these books never talk abt wha #happens after u kill the king or whoever #rly mad that a cool concept like 90s hongkong noir is wasted here :/ #notebook

[doreomilkshake]

dude...i just realised...i can STUDY and TAKE INSPIRATION from other artists...to draw my little guys...

#dorambles #shitpost #art #art musings #talking #this is about a really cool piece of ninjago fanart i just saw #i love love loved the way they drew cole #so i am studying #got my notebook and pastel highlighters at the ready

[itsahotminuteinbetween]

hey

psst

yknow what audio would be really great for the truman show au?

...just sayin.

#sorry to bother #don't mind me #truman show au #dca au #this entire thing was a prompt to myself to figure out how to animate at some point #do you have any idea how many times I've come across audio and gone 'Oh! this would be really cool as an animatic!' #'I even have scenes I could plan for this!' #it's just too bad i can't fuckin ANIMATE #just you wait #the SECOND i learn to animate its over for you fuckers #sorry #sorry i just #rggggghhh #it's a skill i don't have yet #hopefully i'll gain it #but not yet #I have like 3 animatics planned #and doodled loosely in a series of different notebooks #but NONE OF THEM ARE FINISHED BECAUSE I CAN'T ANIMATE

[hoodie-buck]

do i surf? no. did i justify buying this just to use for notes for my surfing au? yes, yes i did 😌

#buddie surfing au my beloved #buying notebooks my beloved #i also got this really cool one #where you can color the stickers #and another one that glows in the dark #back to school supplies my beloved #why am i like this #all my other un-used notebooks #👁👄👁

[readingloveswounds]

okay rlly gotta get my shit together here because it's literally just under a month before i go to france and i want to send three sections to my advisor before that PLUS submit my article to a journal

by sunday:

finish nimes draft

by august 31

submit article

send at least one of: sens or cahors (cahors is probably best bc shorter)

by september 17

MEET WITH ADVISOR THIS IS NONNEGOTIABLE

have sent advisor sens, cahors, and nimes

have at least started chapter conclusion

have at least started rewriting chapter intro

start frankensteining chapter sections into something coherent or at least have a reasonable idea of what a full document might look like

have a better site list put together and possibly have contact w the SHPF, BNF, and/or Louvre

by september 19

email J

give contact info for fellowship 1 (incl address)

go back through P's revisions on vassy

have a better idea of own style guide re names etc

read Foa

get further in LT reread

read more Martyrs - also talk to P about what the actual fuck im doing with martyrs bc im becoming less and less convinced i know how to handle the text wrt my dissertation topic/argument

figure out which chapter im writing next bc doing martyrs sounds scary but idk if im ready to do LT, and im waiting on a massive name in the field to publish his edited version of sancerre lol

#the first journal sub is going to be a long shot - i discussed this w my advisor and it would be a surprise if it was accepted #however it's worth the rejection for the comments lol #and then ill submit somewhere else #i wonder if i can talk to julien abt the article hm. tho he's not really a Lery guy. but he knows frank so. maybe #if my longhaul flight wasn't at literally midnight i'd say id do some of this on the plane but there is NO WAY #i think tomorrow before i work on nimes im gonna have a lil come to jesus meeting w me and a notebook re: wtf i need to do w this chapter #remembering advisor's edits that ive only sort of put into place for vassy augh #long post #the 'cool to do ones' are basically things id like to do by dec 31 so it's a far longer TL there #mine #she dissertates
