“Don’t punish yourself”

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

König’s call sign

Had some thoughts about König again, this time specifically about his name.

With his real name still unknown, we’ve all been collectively using his call sign, König (king) to refer to him. Though to be honest, it has always struck me as a bit of an interesting name choice. Historically, the German/Austrian Kings were more often referred to as Kaiser (emperor), then König in of itself.

So why König, if Kaiser is right there? Is more commonly used?

Then a possible origin struck me: Hochkönig

I’ll explain underneath.

trying your best does not mean putting an unbearable amount of strain on yourself.

Like my recent epiphany about how every day you should be making sure that if you die you are dying happy. If not, then what can you change to make it closest to a good death? Chasing that happy ending until the real end.

Because beating yourself up for all the bad things you are or have become only inspires a certain kind of person (not me).

To be a girl is to have constant cognitive dissonance

You want to believe that your identity is unique and there’s ‘no one else like you’, but all of your habits come from everything around you. It’s so beautiful in its messy chaotic ‘universe experiencing itself’ way, but so so harmful at the same time. I know the human experience will have pros and cons eternally, but making the choice to outweigh the cons takes a complete disregard for everything you’ve been.

Or maybe I am just thinking in extremes, but how can I possibly pretend that I wanted to do makeup for any other reason than because I want to belong to a league of ignorant and blissful women? Why do I feel pretty in a dress? Is it because I’ve been told so? I want to work with society, but it requires so much ignorance.

My entire ego hinges on my ability to stay ignorant. Every time I forgive someone, I am choosing ignorance. Every time I consume an item, I am choosing ignorance to a degree to what goes on behind the scenes. Every breath I take feels like it’s being pushed out of me. I hate it.

For years I have asked myself what love is. Every answer I’ve gotten is along the lines of ‘you just know’.

So I went out and tried my best to fall in love. Ran into a bunch of infatuations and ended up with something I could more or less call love. At this point, I would describe it as ‘love songs started making sense’.

Then I acted in a way that hurt my loved one, and asked myself why my love is harmful. If I had just taken the Greek types of love that I learned about briefly in class a little more to heart, I would’ve come to an earlier realisation that love is ‘choice and action’.

Within the multitudes that I have experienced, there must exist a love that is neither feeling nor thought; The idea of love as ‘time’. Like the time you put into things/people/ideas, or the inevitability of its forces.

Some chase it, some hold onto it, and some avoid it. But love is, always has been, and will always be.

#nonsense #apply this template to anything and it would fit tbh #the inevitability of everything is just soooooo #control is an illusion but also not???? #what is love

“Because my last sin is that I hate you. I. Hate. You. For waking me up every day to watch me fail over and over again, and to watch me fall and to get me back up the next day to do it again. I hate that the only time I got a real life was when you got fed up with my shit, and kicked me out of my home. And so I know what lies before me. Another failure, another disappointment. But I tell you this now, because when I fail this time I don’t want to do it anymore as the weapon you sharpened. I want to do it as Gillion Tidestrider, not just the person you made me, but the person I have become. So fail me one last time! I’m sorry I couldn’t be the chosen one you wanted. I’m not even the chosen one I wanted.”

I Need a Place to put my thoughts but I still have no idea what platform does that best.

Tumblr is like shouting into a canyon, twitter is like walking into a ruthless stampede but it’s fine because at least they are giving you attention, instagram is the new Facebook, and TikTok is like farting in class and everyone stares at u for a bit…

“From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.”

Making the wand from Daoko's MV: Girl (the easy way)

Here’s a recent tutorial from my blog, enjoy~:

Hihihi I forgot to write a post last month but here’s another cosplay tutorial to make up for it ><!

I don’t know if any of you reading this knows but one of my first cosplans of the year is to cosplay the character from Daoko’s MV: Girl.

This time instead of making it, I decided to buy almost all of the cosplay, excluding the wand, due to time constraint.

And I had to crack my head to think of a way to make the wand, I wasn’t going to go into 3D printing or something fancy…it was difficult. But my sudden spark of geniusness helped me create it! (Lol) here’s the tutorial:

Materials/Tools you will need:

*paper/polystyrene balls (20mm) *bamboo skewer *bandage (secret ingredient!!) *masking tape *newspaper *paint *craft(funky) foam *acrylic gesso *pva glue *scissors (obvs) *glue gun *craft knife

Base:

1) draw a rough sketch of the base of the wand on paper, for reference, I wanted mine to be around an A4 sized paper long:

2) take the paper balls and skewer them through your bamboo skewer so it looks like this (be sure to leave space at the top of the skewer to stick the star on!):

(Btw that was the brand of paper balls I was using, you might find it at your local art store? i’m not too sure…)

3) use a roll of bandage to wrap around the balls (excluding the second ball) untill it becomes this shape:

4) then use masking tape to wrap around the parts you’ve just bandaged.

5) use newspaper to paper mache at least 3 layers, to the same two parts of the wand you’ve put masking tape on, and then, when dried, apply the gesso (which also might need more than one layer)

6) and tada~ your base for the wand is done!

(Sorry this pic has been cropped lel)

7) you can then mix up some pink paint and colour it but I decided to colour it after making the star part of the wand.

Star:

1) print and cut out the template for the star. I used the original image and made the image 20cm wide on Word and then printed it out.

2) put your template onto the craft foam, trace and cut. (Use a sharp craft knife for a sharper edges/finish, I was lazy and hence I had rough edges on the inside of my star.)

3) cut strips of the craft foam, about 1.8cm wide, and use the hot glue gun to glue the strips to the inside of one of the star, as shown:

(Careful not to put too much glue on as it will come out of the edges and give you an unclean finish, if it does happen, try pull some of it away when its warm, or, cut it away using a craft knife when cooled)

4) then take your other star, and carefully stick the inner part of the star onto strip of the other star (lol hope this makes sense), so it looks like this:

5) stick all the edges together, leaving a gap on the inner corners of one of the star to stick the skewer into. Like this:

6) and if you haven’t already, paint the base of the wand and then brush with a layer of PVA glue for a nice, shiny finish! :D

And here is your magical wand~~~

(Here’s is a picture of my cosplay taken by my cousin @yuzukimochi (on ig) )

Feel free to comment if you have any questions~ Hope you found this tutorial helpful and happy cosplaying! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ
