yourusername “the shoulder signifies something very important. it’s a commitment to reaching out, checking in, making sure everybody is okay. it’s a small gesture with a very big impact— the impact being that kindness is cool.”
on august 3rd, trevor participated in the shoulder check showcase for the HT40 foundation post being drafted first overall for said showcase!
he was captain of team moulson (the black jerseys!), scored the eighth goal for the team with a pass from my good friend nesty! the fifth slide is his celly where the damn fool kissed his stick. (this was post him failing at the michigan about nine million times) (it’s your signature move, babe. get it together.)
🚨he also committed the only crime of the night!🚨(the refs didn’t penalize him and i’m guessing that was just to keep the fast pace going) (the crowd had other opinions) (so did i) what was the crime? HE TRIPPED CHRIS KREIDER! aka his summer training partner! don’t worry though! he was belittled at dinner with chris and i AND i made him sit in the bathroom for two minutes to account for his crimes<3
sorry you lost in a shootout, my love! but you missed two shootout goals so this is all your fault, captain!
thank you, father zegras, for being a founding board members for the HT40 foundation and being a huge part in this cause. as someone who has struggled in the past, the work that this foundation does really means a lot to me.
p.s. i loved seeing shatty/mom, nesty, sonny, and spencer! i’ve missed you guys! mwah!
remember besties: reach out, check in, and make contact. because kindness is a contact sport🩵

request: Could you possibly write another rottmnt leonardo x y/n? About the aftermath of them exchanging numbers? Maybe like them hangout at night like a little cute midnight date
Tumblr media
🝮 “ the treasure’s treasure ”
rise!leo x g/n
author’s note: i’ve been contemplating for a while whether chair-ry would get a sequel ,,, It’s hard to live up to your very first fic :))) !!! also i’m so tired rn
word count: 3.5k
Tumblr media
Sitting upon a park bench, someone was sharing a conversation with the moon and stars, patiently anticipating the arrival of a special someone they had met earlier this week.
“ You should have seen him,”
They said, shaking their head as the wind blew in a manner that could have been taken as the luna above laughing alongside.
“ He said to me, ‘Catch you on the flip side!’ and leapt into a portal. What’s worse is I actually laughed, but he wasn’t there to see. ”
They weren’t speaking to any particular person. In fact, maybe it wasn’t the sky they gave their words to. Perhaps their conversation was with themselves, and the moon simply happened to listen in. Antsy fingers rose up, gingerly holding their new brooch. While the index finger began tracing the oleander’s rim, their other hand was holding up their phone to see a notification, “ running late! “
“ Pft—how do you run late with the ability to teleport? ”
Pocketing the phone, you were smoothing out your clothes when a hand reached out and took yours, twirling you towards him and dipping you. Your heart skipped a beat as your eyes met a familiar shade of cerulean.
“ Can’t a man lose himself to time in the practice of ‘dress to impress’? ”
Your breath hitched in your throat as you clung to the silly boy who smiled brightly at how much of an upper hand he had here.
It was summer, so you were a bit confused by the leather jacket he donned. Underneath was a plain short sleeve—blue, shocker! And a pair of denim jeans. Rather plain, no? Not like you were focusing on that though.
“ Don’t drop me! ”
In some kind of mixture between laughing and screaming, your hands held on for dear life, and Leo decided to dip you a bit further, just a tad bit lower.
“ Oh no, my grip—it’s slipping! ”
He teased, busting out laughter as you screeched “ don’t you dare!! “ The moment you both shared was lighthearted, pulling you both closer. Grip loosening, you momentarily reminisced upon the many, many messages you both shared back and forth over the days leading to today. It was your idea, actually—sticking your neck out for your hero in green. The relief that you felt when he agreed was tremendous.
He brought you back up to your feet, letting go and resting his hands against his knees while laughing up a storm. You wiped tears from your eyes and caught a bit of his contagious laughter.
“ Kee—keep this up—Pft—a-and we’ll wake the whole neighborhood, Leon! ”
There was a quip or two resting on his tongue, urging him to tickle you with all his funniest jokes, but nothing could have made him interrupt how it looked when you laughed and smiled. You truly were framed as though you were “ the world’s precious treasure”, and boy had he no idea how to show the universe how grateful he was for a chance with you.
“ Wouldn’t want that, Y/N. ”
You didn’t even seem to mind who or what he is. He could tell just by how you held his hands and said his name, the way you looked at him—just, everything. It had only been a week, and already he was head over heels. Just how magical are you?
“ So, what is this special thing you said we had to see? ”
Right, as the initiator, that makes you the leader as well. With a shy smile, you waved your hand in a “ follow me ” motion and left the black bench to follow the park’s path. It was only a few more steps until you turned off path. Despite being confused, he trusted you enough to follow blindly.
Only, he was confused when you both finally made it to your goal. The park had a lake, and sure it looked nice—but only during the day. At night it was more like an eerie void of inky black. It was only the two of you, framed by the rustling of branches, crunching of rocks under your feet, and the light sloshing of the water against the shoreline.
“ I know I’m drop-dead gorgeous, but not exactly looking to be murdered just yet, Y/N. ”
Joking, he leaned into you with a nudge. One push later and you were spreading a blanket you brought along the ground.
“ Oh hush, who would want to kill you anyways? Too easy! ”
His gasp was reward enough. Beside you he sat, as both of you shifted your attention to the water.
“ Now, we wait. ”
You responded, pulling up your legs to your chest. One of your arms laid atop it, and then you laid your head against it. Leo leaned backwards. His legs stretched out and crossed while his hands planted behind him, supporting his weight.
“ wait for what? “ he asked after the cloud of awkwardness passed and room for speak opened. You hummed, insisting he was more than capable of waiting. Taken as a challenge, he immediately accepted and the minutes turned to an hour as you both talked about any and everything.
About him, his brothers—little extras added since you had heard a lot of it already through your daily texts and video chats. Since trading numbers, you had both talked to each other so much. Perhaps a few hours of a sleep were omitted, but who cares? The hours spent together was so much fun. Calls while cooking, calls in the morning, even some calls where you both slept together. There was even one that lasted even through a teeth-brushing montage ((prior to this, you never would have expected someone to be able to make a contest out of that, but never had you ever done your brushing routine THAT quickly.)) But in return, you shared even more little tidbits about yourself, your family, etcetera.
The longer you both went, the more similarities you were able to discover about the other. To say it lit a flame of hope in your chest was an understatement.
Eventually the conversation fell into nonsense, little games of truth or dare, “ I Spy “, and even would you rather. That had served to be… quite interesting.
You and Leo had leaned down, laying in the blanket and staring up at the sky. Arms. Crossed, forearms as makeshift pillows behind y’all’s heads. After growing tired of I Spy, Leo snapped his fingers in a “ gotcha! “ moment.
“ Would you rather get a paper cut every time you turn a page or bite your tongue every time you eat? “
“ Really, would you rather? ”
“ Are you admitting defeat? ”
“ What! You can’t ‘win’ would you rat—oh forget it. ”
You groaned out loud, dragging your hands down your face to ready yourself for this. There were some rocks under the blanket, embedding into your back, so there was a long second of contemplation as you mindlessly moved them and laid back down. With a drawn-out exhale, you turned your head to look at him.
“ Well, either is so messed up, but I think bite my tongue—I do it accidentally a lot already. Might as well up my odds. What about you? ”
Leo chuckled in a way that could only spell out trouble—or a devious loophole.
“ Papercut. Why? Because,”
He holds up his phone, shaking it.
“ Internet, baby. No page turning necessary. ”
“ No fair! And, you’ll never be able to read a real book without cuts. ”
“ I’m prepared to make that sacrifice. ”
Scoffing, you crossed your arms dramatically and tapped your fingers against your forearm. What’s a good question you can ask? A real conundrum—with no loopholes!
“ Ah! Would you rather have a pause or a rewind button in your life? ”
This one throughly perplexed him. Either that, or the “ hmming “ was just him messing with you. You had your answer already, but his was what you were more curious about.
And his response only made you more curious.
“ Rewind, definitely, ”
He sits up, turning on his side and resting his head into his palm while his elbow digs into the blanket.
“ I’ve found a sound I wouldn’t mind hearing on replay. ”
“ Oh yeah? ”
You asked with sitting up, hands laid behind your back to hold you up. The statement was spoken with an intonation practically begging him to continue. Alas, he didn’t seem to catch on, so you followed it up with,
“ And what’s that? ”
“ Ah, ah, that’s not how the game goes. It’s my turn. Would you rather have everyone able to read your mind or for everyone you know to have access to your Internet history? ”
Immediately you were laughing in an incriminating way, averting your gaze anywhere but the questionner. Oh god, both were such mortifying scenarios.
“ Oh shit, that’s horrible, Leo. You’re the worst at this game! ”
“ I think you mean the best. ”
“ Eeeeek, okay, internet history. I can just clean it up! ”
“—No erasing, either! ”
Cue the hitting, as you lightly hit him with your fists!
“ No fair, no adding clauses afterwards!! ”
Leo laughed all the while, taking your light little barrages.
“ What about you, tough guy! ”
“ Internet history, but definitely deleting stuff. ”
“ YOU!! ”
With an “ oof! “ Leo was pushed over onto his back by you, further pinned down as you took your rightful throne upon his chest. It was hard, likely due to the plastron he had. While you weren’t putting all your weight into him, you were still sitting on him enough for him to be slightly inconvenienced.
“ Someone is a sore loser.”
Groaned Leo in a low voice as he accepted defeat.
“ No, you are. So, my turn! Would you rather… ”
There were a few seconds filled not with your voices, but rather with the chirping of bugs filling the space. What was a good question… Ooh, perfect!
“ Would you rather find true love today or win the lottery? Knowing you, you’ll say—“
“ Lottery—“
“ Ah-hah! I knew it. ”
“ I would rather win the lottery because I already found loved. ”
There was a…
A fondness—a sweetness and a comfort—in the air immediately. It felt akin to that of moments in movies when two character would, or /should/, kiss, and that feeling only deepened as you lowered your gaze to meet his. Leo’s voice had said that so… So gently, so lovingly.. His eyes filled you with a warmth, an addictive sight that you almost couldn’t look away from.
But still, you did. To calm your thundering heart, you looked away with a breathy laugh.
“ Wow, that sure was… Just, wow.. ”
Your eyes trailed to the water, noticing it was finally time. Leaning up off him, you brushed your clothes of any dust, and crouched to pick up some rocks near the blanket. Leo had risen up to a seated position, watching you curiously.
“ What about you? ”
He asked sincerely, eyes on you as you looked down. The collected rocks were rolled in your hand as you contemplated your own answer.. You held out your open hand, gesturing for him to give you his.
“ I think… I would choose the true love today, just to… Make sure it happens, y’know? Don’t want to get too cocky and lose a good thing. ”
As you took his hand, there was a little spark and a bit of heartbeat skipping, but pretty easy to ignore. In his palm, a sizable pebble was placed.
“ A rock? ”
“ For skipping. That’s the real surprise the whole time. What we were waiting for. ”
“ Ah yes, waiting to skip rocks, I’m really swooning over here. ”
“ Not that, you dumdum! What comes after. Just—throw it with me, okay? ”
Nodding, you both stood up, reeled your arms back, and began the countdown
Three,
Two,
One!!
And off the rocks went, skittering along the water—his faster than yours, amazingly so—but that wasn’t supposed to be the focus. The true point of it all was what happened with each tap to the water’s surface.
Lines of orange, like plane runways lined with neon hues, streaked and bloomed with every touch. By the time the rocks twirled and blipped through the lake, sinking down to their new home, the orange lights had fanned out into the air like teensy fireworks. Zipping from here and there, the little balls of energy bobbing and plinked along the water—awakening their neighbors until nearly the entire area here was covered with the little buggers.
“ Fireflies? ”
Leo inquired, amazed at the sight. It was a genuine reaction, not masked at all for any “ cool guy act ” or a “ more mature act ”. No, you were getting the exact response you hopped—the orange reflecting in his eyes, the toothy grin, and the playful glint when he turned back to you.
“ Not quite. ”
You shook your head and held out your hand, clicking your tongue as one would to a cat. By the first click, some of the closest little sprites were already skipping over to you as though copying the rocks bouncing past them earlier.
“ They’re like, little balls of warmth, little sun sprites, see? ”
They were tiny, too small for their heat to hurt. It was more of a welcoming warmth tickling your hand. Their little frames would roll and bump into each other, rubbing themselves all over your hands. That’s probably fine.
Leo stuck out a finger, reaching to poke one, then freaking out as it zipped in a spiral-motion up his finger and arm.
“ AH—! I, I mean. Act, just acting, haha.. How did you find these…? ”
“ I was waiting for you to ask! ”
You plopped back down onto the blanket and patted for him to follow. More of the sprites were surrounding you, and thankfully it seemed that their fire wasn’t a spreadable kind.
“ That word you said to me last week, yokai? I know you said, ‘Oh you’re a human, rah rah rah, no need for you to know!’—“
“—I don’t sound like that—“
“—hush, anyways! I think they’re yokai, don’t you think? I looked the word up when I got home, supernatural beings! ”
He could tell you were pretty pleased with yourself.
“ Y/N, I only said that to keep you safe. Need I remind you who needed to be rescued by a handsome blue knight? ”
He puffed out his chest, even flexing a bit. One little sprite appeared to be trying to copy him, but given their circular bodies, you weren’t too sure.
“ I already said thank you, and you can’t blame me! Who seriously just ignores something so—so, so groundbreaking! I mean, yokai? They’re fictional creatures, except now nonfiction because I saw them, I was chased by one! So, yeah, excuse me for looking into it. ”
Shrugging, you crossed your legs and leaned forward. Hands on the blanket, palms facing up, you invited the sprites to hop on or off. Soft giggles followed their little brushes against your hands.
“ Right, still doesn’t answer how you found these guys? ”
He followed your example, watching them curiously twirl his digits—thicker yet fewer than your own hands. It seemed like one of the little guys was putting pieces together as it flipped back and forth between your hands. In the end, they bobbed over to you, and Leo muttered a “ going to cry about this later ” playfully.
“ Well, I found them way before the ‘chairable incident.’ ”
“ Ooh good one, is that what we’re calling it? ”
“ Thank you, and yes—no interrupting, mister Leonardo! ”
“ Hey, that’s mister Leo to you! ”
“ Pft—well, I always through they were fireflies or pollen, but after that night you dropped me off, I was curious! So, I came here again and again, stirring them and trying to call them over. “
Y/N’s eyes were scouring over the little guys, turning to the water to see the others. It seemed they were searching for something.
“ Hmm, well anyways, it took a while, but the other day when I did it, one of them came over to me! Seeing them up close made it all make more sense. ”
Leo had noticed you looking around and followed your gaze. Alas, he gave up soon after realizing he didn’t know what to look for. Silence joined you both, sitting right between while your focus was on the cute little sprites. Some had already rolled back to the water. They seemed to float on top, similar to how oil and water “ mix ”. Few remained though, leaning into your hands, climbing your legs, or rummaging through your hair specifically. Leo had a hat, a beanie, and one sneaky little guy did manage to squirm on inside of it.
Your attention only shifted as a little purple sprite slowly bobbed over. It was hard to see them in the inky water, but this special little guy had a flickering ability. Whether the others did too was anyone’s guess, but this one! He only flickered in and out, illuminating with the fiery orange and then fizzling into the camouflaging purple. He was the first to come check you out when you tried calling for the little creatures.
“ This is Blinker! He’s a little special, isn’t he? ”
A tad bit bigger, he rolled and fluffed up in your hand—only stopping when Leo leaned in and reached his index towards him. Blinker ignited immediately, bobbing and then spiraling up Leo’s finger just like some of the others did.
“ Wow… Well, you sure know how to plan a first date. I have some real competition, huh? ”
He slouched over, resting his head against the palm of his hand while watching you with a lazy grin. Blinker had already began burrowing, slipping up into the sleeve of Leo’s jacket.
“ Oh? You sound like you’re wanting a second date already. ”
Copying his position, you grinned in a way that could only be saying “ oooooohhh, you liiiiikeee meee, don’t you? ”
“ Ah,”
A sound like a cough and he was casting his gaze to the right side, as though something away from you was much more important. His left hand moved to cover his cheek, and you recognized it all instantly. He was blushing, wasn’t he!
You leaned forward, taking his wrist and holding it away from his face. His attention was back on you, with big blue eyes staring, waiting.
“ I knew it, you’re blushing! I made you blush, mister handsome knight. ”
He stuttered then held his tongue, looking away. Didn’t even try to deny it! He was blushing, you made him blush!
There was a warmth surfacing on your cheeks, especially upon seeing his other hand move to take your other one. He didn’t make any eye contact, but your fingers were interlaced. Now one hand cuffed his wrist while the other hand locked with his hand.
“ O-Oh.. ”
You muttered, leaning back a bit to sit. After some silence, your handcuffed motion loosened, and he didn’t waste any time. His other hand was slowly lacing with yours. Sitting cross-legged, you both reflected each others sitting position while your hands rested between, holding the other fondly.
“ Mm.. I, maybe I wouldn’t mind a second date. ”
It was your turn to avoid eye contact this time.
“ Really? I’m glad. ”
His voice was softer than you had yet to hear it. So little time, yet already you were seeing newer sides of him. The sprites were floating around you both, basking both of you in warm golden hues. A summer breeze rustled the trees as they leaned in, anticipating the next move. Crickets sung their music, and the waves bumped the shore as if coming closer to see the moment. It was as if the whole world came to see, see who their treasure had chosen.
All the imaginary eyes were resting on you both. They were overjoyed to see the special one, the treasure’s treasure.
Everything dispersed as you gave a nervous cough. Both of you looked away, recoiling your hands and wiping them against your clothes.
“ W-Wow! T-The time, right? ”
“ Time? Oh, yeah! Yeah, it’s so late, I should get you home before it’s too—is it cold to you? Wow, so chilly! ”
Scrambling for your things, you both hopped up and waved goodbyes to the lake’s lights. Leo held up his hand, flicking his fingers until a blue shimmer enveloped his index finger. The stripes on his face shone as he reached out and traced a portal in thin air.
“ A gentleman would never let you walk home! ”
You leaned forward to walk through the portal, but were tugged back.
“ Ah—! No, uh, you can’t. I um, you’re. ”
He was trying to come up with something, then settled for clearing his throat and holding out his hand.
“ Safety reasons, portal passengers have to hold my hand. ”
Part of you felt like that was a lie. The other part of you knew you weren’t a portal expert. And another part of you maybe just wanted to go along with it regardless. So, you gave him your hand. He gently pulled you close to his chest.
The world held its breath as the two of you met each other’s eyes. There was so much emotion. You looked at him with something that he couldn’t yet pinpoint, but god he was addicted to it.
Please never stop looking at me like that, he thought, as his arm moved to rest along your waist and hold firmly. Through the portal, you basked in the familiar tingles and tickles, giggling as you both stepped out at your door, in your home.
“ How did you know—? ”
“ From our video-chats. Remember when I said you talk too much when it’s late? “
“ What! I thought, I thought you just meant—what else have I told you?! ”
“ Er, don’t worry about it, seeya! ”
“ Wait! ”
He was quick to try and leave the same way he had once before, falling through a portal, but you were quicker. Grabbing onto him, he stared wide eyed and quickly closed the portal as you both thumped against your floor. His hand was holding your waist securely, mentally condemning you for such a reckless move.
On the spot, you chuckled nervously and tried to come up with a reason to have stopped him…
“ Ah, er…. W-Wanna stay for, um.. Dinner? ”

ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗: if we were in a drama | pjs
Tumblr media
summary | as always, you and your friend, jisung, plan a sleepover to begin a new drama together. and, as always, you have to pause halfway through the second episode so you can go through your new-drama-ritual.
genre | park jisung x reader, friends-but-not-friends in the romantic way, fluff
wc | 1.1k
a/n: rn i’m really into the whole you’re more than friends but not dating trope…also does anyone else do this when they watch dramas
Tumblr media
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, you were sure Jisung would kill you right now. He would rip your phone out of your hands, throw it against the wall, and push you off his seventh-story balcony.
“Googling it spoils it for me too, you know!” he exclaimed, reaching for your phone as best he could. You jerked your hand back, rolling over onto your stomach and half-dangling off the bed. With a sigh, he gave up on his conquest, but that didn’t cease his complaining. “I mean, come on, who googles the first-kiss episode every single time they watch a drama?”
“Me, I do,” you said, frantically typing ‘when do they kiss’ into the search bar, followed by the name of the drama. Instantly, several YouTube videos and articles popped up, each with ‘kiss scene’ in the title. “Aha! Episode—”
“Shut up!” Jisung exclaimed, wrapping his arms around your waist. With a tug, you were sitting up on the bed again, pressed up against his chest. You mumbled a string of incoherencies, wrenching yourself from his grasp and turning to face him.
“I don’t see your issue. I mean, it’s not like the kiss episode spoils the plot or anything, so why lose your mind? It’s setting a precedent, a goal to achieve before we stop watching and go to bed,” you argued, frowning. He gave you an unimpressed look, rolling his eyes. You scoffed, crossing your arms. “Plus, the timing of the kiss scene is important. I mean, nobody wants to see one two episodes in, but nobody wants to wait for ten episodes. Right?”
“Right, okay, but wouldn’t you rather be surprised?”
“No, because I’ll be disappointed when the perfect-kiss-threshold passes and no kissing has happened yet. I need to know if this’ll be worth my time.”
“Oh yeah? When’s the perfect-kiss-threshold?”
“End of episode six to episode eight, obviously. Any earlier and things are no fun, and any later and things are boring,” you replied, talking as if this was some sort of scholarly information and that everybody should know your opinions on the pacing of dramas.
Jisung stared at you for a moment, a small smile forming on his face. His cheeks began to tinge a red color, and his ears were bright red, but that didn’t stop him from reaching for his goal.
“So, if we were in a drama, when would our kiss scene be?”
Ignoring the implications of the question, mostly for the sake of avoiding melting into a puddle of lovey-dovey-ness, you took it more seriously and genuinely contemplated it.
“Well, assuming you’d ever measure up to be the main male lead,” you mused, tapping your chin a couple of times. “I think we’d pass the threshold. God, we probably wouldn’t kiss until, like, eleven or twelve. We’d have a terribly boring drama.”
Jisung seemed appalled at your answer, maybe even a bit offended. “Seriously? What gives you that impression?”
Before you could stop yourself, you answered, “I mean, look at our relationship now.”
“What about it?”
“Are you kidding me? We’ve done just about every couple thing other than kiss. We go grocery shopping together, we hold hands whenever we walk anywhere together, we watch dramas and cuddle up together for hours at a time. We’d be the drama couple that goes fast but doesn’t want to admit it. The type to act like a married couple before we even called each other boyfriend and girlfriend.”
God, you wished you could keep your mouth shut. The moment you finished your tangent, you could feel your cheeks burning up, and you could see Jisung blushing even worse than before. He reached up and scratched his neck as if he was unsure how to respond to your slightly-too-real analysis of your relationship.
He shuffled around on the bed, returning to his position under the covers with his back against pillows propped up by the headboard. You stared at him for a second, loathing the silence between you before you did the same, feeling a sudden awkwardness with being near him.
“I mean, did you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend? Because, like, I’m not opposed, but…”
“I dunno, it’s kinda fun just being us, labelless and happy. Right? A couple of friends, pretending like they do normal friend things on a daily basis.”
Jisung slung an arm over your shoulder, pulling you closer to him. You leaned your head on his shoulder, cuddling up against his side and feeling comfortable in his warmth. “I mean, a kiss carries a lot of meaning. A lot of commitment.”
“No, you’re right. We’d have to be, like, really sure if we were gonna go that far,” Jisung agreed, flinching slightly when you wrapped your hands around his waist. There was something nice about not being in a relationship but still being romantically involved with one another. Especially since you were tied up in the same friend group and would be teased to high heaven if things became official.
It made you happy, being with him and living in the moment. Never rushing, never going too fast, just being wrapped up in your togetherness.
“I think we’d make a bad drama,” you finally said, focusing on the soft-yet-nervous pattern of Jisung’s breathing. “It’d be too indecisive and slow.”
“Yeah, I think so too,” he agreed, picking up the remote that he’d put down on his bedside table. “So, what episode do they kiss?”
“Seven. Right in the middle of the threshold,” you said, a deep sense of satisfaction pooling in your stomach. You could’ve giggled out of happiness for your current situation if you were brave enough. “I think we could make it by three in the morning if we played our cards right. It’s, what, 10? Yeah, three in the morning.”
“Is that factoring in differing episode lengths?”
“No, just rough estimates.”
“Well, let’s promise that we’ll go to sleep at three,” he suggested, leaning his head atop your own. “And we’ll forget about this ever happening. Deal?”
“Absolute deal.”
Jisung pressed play on the episode, but you weren’t lost on him turning his head ever-so-slightly, planting a small kiss on your forehead to signify just a little bit of commitment. To plant a little hope that, one day, you’ll reach your episode twelve and take the full leap. But, for now, you’d watch your drama and be happy as “friends.”

Ok ok oK OK OK YOU KNOW WHAT FINE
YOU WANT MY ATTENTION BRAWL STARS!?!? I’LL GIVE YOU MY FUCKING ATTENTION-!
Tumblr media
I normally find clowns to be delightful but-
WHAT IN THE GODS HELL IS THIS!?!?!?
I- I LOVE SPIDERS! I LOVE CLOWNS!
I FUCKIN’-
IDJDJFJRNRKKRKRKR
MY THOUGHTS 👇
I just really want to address the two big ass elephants in the room:
1) This… THING in the corner
Tumblr media
That is… actually very creepy. Like no joke I actually find this extremely ominous. I know that Brawl Stars can get dark, but I didn’t think they would just post something like this.
Anyways uh-
Spiders am I right! Personally, I love ‘em and this brawler clearly loves them as well. Also they seem to be very flexible (duh), especially in the pose they’re in on the god damn ceiling.
Also they’re clearly are a acrobatic based off of what little I can see of their outfit and pose.
Tumblr media
I like that they did this instead of a clown because that seems a bit too easy ya know? It’s unique is what I’m trying to say :0
I’m very excited to see what this brawler has to offer! Especially their gameplay!
Also another quick thing:
In a recent art that they did for the new Spider-Man game, in the background there is a billboard for the circus and on it, it says “Starring M.J.”
And in a later art with Shelly and Colt, they’re both holding on to a “J”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idk I might just be reaching here, but I’m pretty sure the brawlers name MIGHT be M.J. or at least has “J” in their name.
2) WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FU-
Tumblr media
WHAT IS THAT!? LIKE SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THAT!?
Ok ok I might have a explanation for whatever the hell is happening here.
So, I think this brawler is going to the Brawlywood trio. Why their trio? Well since it is October, it would make sense for the Brawl Stars team to make a brawler based off of horror movies 👀
Specially, classic horror movies the mostly uses practical effects to achieve their spooky goals! Which is why I think there are those big creepy ass hands, tongue, and eyes behind the curtains!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lots of horror movies used practical effects back then, mainly because cgi wasn’t as popular or as polished as it is today. Hell even Jurassic Park used it!
(Oh god… y’all just saw my horror movie lover nerd side of me lmao)
Honestly it’s the only explanation I could think of to explain why those things are behind the curtain. If by a small chance that I am right then I will say that I’m a little disappointed that Ash and Grom’s trio will remain incomplete even though it’s been what.. 2 years???
Not saying Lola and Gray don’t deserve a new member, but still… I hate to see them get the Stu/Buzz treatment :/
Anyways, sorry for the long ramble. I just have a lot of thoughts rn and I can tell this is gonna be a big update.

[Naruto rant/criticism]
Please don’t interact if you’re going to insult me for having an opinion that differs from your, I will correctly tag this post so if you’re a nh stan read at your own risk. I’m not responsible of your actions.
In the recent days I’ve really been having a naruhina hate brainrot. I’ve actually always disliked that pair since the first days I started watching this anime. But the more I think about this ship and the more I dislike it and see less reasons to enjoy it.
Yeah I used to ship ss in the past, because even if Sasuke never has been interested at least he was Sakura’s teammate and had plenty of missions together. (Well I learnt from my mistakes but that’s not the topic of this post!)
However, what do Naruto and Hinata have seriously? For being characters who got married and one of them being the mc their interactions were barely existent and Naruto having basic human decency toward her isn’t a proof of him having romantic feelings. I still literally can’t picture him being on a relationship with her either, no matter how much I try. I always used to find this ship painfully bland, boring, tasteless. I would rate it a solid 1/10 at best, and I’m on a good mood rn.
I got spoiled very early that they were going to be together at the end and even despite that when I watched the last episodes it blew my mind when I saw them going to be married all of sudden. It was so hard to believe. If they were so planned to be together since the beginning they could’ve at least given them some development idk it’s not even that complicated I don’t ask Kishimoto to write peak romance. Don’t even talk to me about "The Last" lol that movie is just laughable. It’s basically Naruto into a genjutsu and Sakura forcing him, guilt tripping him to love Hinata and telling him how much "he deserves her". No sorry but I can’t take this sh*t seriously.
Another thing, when I still was into the first episodes of the series I used to think that Hinata will have a development, she will be strong and all but I was apparently wrong as hell because she’s just as pointless, irrelevant but more annoying and her whole existence stills revolve around N-Naruto-kun 🥺👉👈. The shippuden era was the moment when she seriously started to get on my nerves. She reached a new low when Neji frustratingly f*cking died for her the the only thing she was thinking about was N-Naruto-kun’s big warm and manly hand. The audacity lmao. I would be so ashamed to myself at her place. Also there’s nothing wrong with her being a housewife, raising kids is far from being an easy task by the way but she could’ve at least done something for her clan as the "Hyuga princess", especially about the oppression and slavery that endured the secondary branch through generations and that caused the death of her cousin in front of her. But no, she got married to N-Naruto-kun, so it doesn’t matter, damn why am I even surprised, that was the only goal of her life anyway. That cute uwu girl’s """"development"""" disappointed me a lot, to say the least, I saw a lot of potential in her not gonna lie.
Poor her, she existed only for the sake of a ship that happened just for the dull sequel also more commonly known as "Boruto".

Hey I’m a culinary student at college rn and I was wondering what your best advice would be for what I should do coming out of college
Hey! First off welcome to the trade! My first biggest tip is this. Cooking is a career of passion. You will most likely never be famous, you’ll work harder and longer than most people think is possible and get paid almost nothing for it. If you love it though it’s all worth it.
As someone who has been involved in the hiring process before, one thing you need to understand if having college is great fundamentals, but you must understand that the kitchen is a meritocracy. You earn your respect by doing. Don’t flaunt your education, the best thing to do is keep your head down and work hard and absorb all the information you can. Try and get a job at the best place possible, reach out to other chefs and offer yourself humbly for the chance to learn from them.
I found that competition is natural in a kitchen. Pick someone to work “against” try and work faster, cook better, season and taste better. Then when tou teach others skills teach them with the goal of creating a new rival.
I’d love to answer anymore questions you have about becoming a chef and working in restaurants. Feel free to ask or DM me any other questions you have! I look forward to seeing your career unfold
Cheers
Tay

Hi.
So… I’ve been away, I know. I even missed N7 day :’(
To be quite honest, I needed to get to a better place mentally. I was also trying to move out. It was urgent back then, now it’s all done. I’m living in a new apartment, which is 100% better for my mental health. It has more space and I feel like I can breath there.
Work is still stressful but I’m learning to manage my energy. I’ve been reading a lot (my goal was to read 25 books this year and that’s already done), knitting (I’ve finished a pair of socks for my mother using the magic loop technique, so I genuinely improved from knitting scarfs with holes in them) and writing (my scifi short stories collection is done).
I’ve also grieved and reached the acceptance stage. I’m doing the best that I can. I’ve learned that’s enough. And I’ve been very lucky, to have such a supportive family, wonderful friends, great colleagues too. People have been good to me, and I hope I’ve been good to them also.
Regarding Mass Effect and this blog: I stopped playing ME, tbh. Months went by and I could not go back at all… But lately I’ve been playing it again. I’m still in my first MEL playthrough (ME2, I’m doing Miranda’s loyalty mission rn). I don’t know if you remember my problem with my screen and nausea? It’s sadly still there but it’s a bit better, I can play longer without immediately feeling sick.
I’m going to take my time and I won’t feel too guilty because that playthrough is still on-going. I don’t need to rush and finish it right away. I’m just happy to be in that universe again. I have a lot of posts to make about it too!
And speaking of rushing, back when I stopped updating, I think I was too focused on adding things to the queue so the blog would always have content, and not on actually reading and enjoying the posts about the lore, which was my reason to start a ME blog in the first place. It’s like I never had time to really just sit and enjoy the posts and discuss them. I want to take the time now, so we’ll see how it will work from now on.
This is quite long, so I’ll stop there.
I missed you all and hope you’re okay. This world can be so scary, and terrible things keep happening all the time. I can only hope you are safe, wherever you are.

hi molly!
i’m back with another “gentle reminders” ask. it goes in line with one of my personal goals this year of trying to work on my kindness and how i show that kindness to others.
the beginning of a new year is always a bit tough for many people, for many reasons but at the scale of the fandom, i have noticed some negativity starting to spread. maybe it’s bound to happen on any social media but i always considered tumblr to be different, to be over the kind of discourse you could find on other apps. this place has been a true haven for many of us and i would like to keep it that way, so i thought, as a way to counterbalance this negativity, i could compensate with a nice message for one of the driving forces in the fandom: our dear writers.
i would like to begin by saying thank you.  thank you for dedicating your time, your energy, your love and sharing pieces of yourself with us. the fandom wouldn’t be what it is without you: just like a body needs a brain or a heart to function properly, fandoms need writers like they need others contributing. thank you for offering diversity, engaging with different tropes and characters to reach as many readers as possible. i will admit, some things proposed are not my cup of tea but i know they can be enjoyed by others, the same way some of my favorite fics wouldn’t necessarily attract others. so thank you for giving a chance to everyone to find what they enjoy, to discover, to learn, to cry, to laugh, to love and to be able to do so in an open, safe space. thank you for interacting with us as well. thank you for responding to our questions, sharing snippets when we get impatient, teasing us with your new ideas and making life a little more fun and exciting every day. and of course, thank you for doing all of this for free. for expecting so little in return when you give us so much.
now a few things i want you to remember: 
although we’re all thankful for having access to your art, your first fan should be yourself. write what you enjoy, write that self-indulgent fic, write your favorite trope, an improbable duo or crossover because you’ve always wanted to. do it for yourself. in the same way, have fun with it. writing is a hobby, it’s not your job, it’s not supposed to be a chore. so do what makes you happy. don’t worry about updating fics, about being slow, about posting too much or too little. some things might take time, some might need an hour to be posted but in the end, they all matter just the same. they’re worth being read and cherished and we will appreciate them. whether you have thousands of notes or barely a few hundreds, you have your place here. you’re still an amazing writer, you’re still an artist regardless of the stats. 
whether i've had time to binge-read your stories or just discovered you. thank you. i love you. i’m grateful for you. i see and appreciate your work. your efforts. you.  i’m sorry if you’ve ever been received with negativity but i hope this can make up for some of it.  you deserve nothing but kindness and appreciation and i hope you know how much you matter here.
sending you all my love,
anna 💗
Anna 🥺🥺 I’m literally crying on the toilet rn this is so sweet 😭 I’ve been struggling with my motivation to not only write but live life the way I want to in general. Thank you for carving out time in your day to write out this lovely message, your kind words are exactly what this fandom needs, esp after the last couple weeks we’ve had.
Saving this note in my back pocket for when I need it most. You’re truly a gem, I love you and your selflessness. I hope the new year has been treating you with love, support and happiness. Come over here so I can smooch your forehead 😤💞
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
thank you 🩷

hey love! i just wanted to hop in and see how you’re doing 💜
i heard you’re in a bit of a book slump rn, and my sincerest sympathies, those always suck. i don’t really have any advice on how to get out of it, but i really want you to know that you don’t have to feel stressed or guilty over it. you’ve read an insane amount of books this year!!! i’m so immensely amazed and proud of you. idk early this year i hit a major tv slump, so i just paused and didn’t force myself to watch something if it didn’t intrigue me (that actually led to me reading a ton more!) annotations seem like a fun project, so maybe like making yourself a goal to annotate x amount of chapters per day could help? that way it’s more of a hobby and craft than just entertainment? idk just a thought!
i’m kind of in the middle of a slump right now? my reading pace has just slowed exponentially. i’m reading the all souls trilogy (a discovery of witches) and while i really do enjoy the story, something about it just makes me take ages to read it. i know i will reach my reading goal by the end of the year, but it still kind of stresses me out (also i want to finish the new septembers readathon by the end of the month - i know, i know, i’m still doing it. it was basically just a fun way for me to knock off books that are already on my tbr).
something fun that i want to do next year is read and reread a bunch of shakespeare and watch the adaptions (since someone posted a masterlist on here). i would also love to buddy read the odyssey (or was it the iliad?) with you! i’m planning on getting both on thursday when i go to the bookstore. i’ve never buddy read, so you’ll have to be patient with me, plus it’s kind of a daunting book ngl, but i think it would be fun 🥰 another book i would love to annotate would be the starless sea, i think it would be fun to mark down the different literary references and motifs (though honestly i didn’t understand half of the plot. i was just there for vibes)
lindsay!!! hi friend 🤍 i am in a book slump for sure; part of it is just that i have been very very very busy but i also just haven't really been enjoying a lot of things i've been reading so even if i have time i'm like "i don't reallllly want to read now". i had such a spectacularly phenomenal reading year last year so this year has just been like :( in comparison haha! i was doing that with les mis for a bit and then got super busy and stopped doing that! i think my problem is also that i've been trying to annotate fantasy (the night circus — and i'd started starless sea at the beginning of the year, but then got in the largest fantasy slump ever and now i'm just trying to crawl my way out.
how are you enjoying the all souls trilogy? i've never read it! you've got lots of time to reach your goal — and it really is just a silly number! you can also always pack it with poetry, plays, webcomics, graphic novels, etc! and i'm glad — that's what the readathon was intended to do! 🤍
i think this is the masterpost you're talking about! i've been audiobooking some shakespeares this year and have been having a blast with that! and i would be down to do either; i already own the odyssey, but can always obtain a copy of the iliad! i hope you have the best time at the bookstore! and we can definitely take our time with it — we can set goals / checkpoints, discuss, etc. if you want! and yes the starless sea is SO fun to annotate (i just haven't ... been able to read fantasy lately :( )
hope you're having a good monday!! 🤍 🤍 ily!

Hi! This is Ani again. Just wanted to let you know that your reading was literally SO accurate. Istg you’re living my life
I’m gonna admit, I was expecting something much more negative. I usually expect negative things, which isn’t good, but that make the good things all the more exciting. This whole thing was also kind of new since this was my first intuition reading. My previous ask was also my first ask ever on tumblr so I was kind of nervous as well. It felt like I was writing an email lolol
But I’m so happy that I did do it because, you were right, I did kinda feel like I’ve been grazing rock bottom. I had this weird mixed feeling of being close to the void but also never getting in and holding both those feelings kind of drained me, on top of being burned out from school. This is the first time in a while where I’ve been truly excited for something.
Something that I recommend people do is something I did earlier this month, where I basically manifested seeing angel numbers and using their meanings as guidance on my void journey. I kept getting a lot of 444’s and 777’s which apparently both are related to seeking guidance from angels or something. I didn’t really know how to do that so I assumed that maybe I had to reach out to someone on tumblr, but even then I didn’t know who to ask. I didn’t even know what I should be asking. But this was really helpful and honestly, is making me so excited for my REAL new life instead of a daydream.
Also another thing is, I am a shifter! Or I’m planning to be one, anyway. The life I’m going to shift to from this one will be similar to my current one but better. But all my other realities after that, are pretty much going to be a totally different life with different people, like you said.
Also, can we talk about how in literally the beginning of the post I was called out in so many ways, like “Repressed emotions + feeling left out” 😭✋ Chill out man I can’t afford therapy rn ok?? Lolll all jokes aside though you are right, and I don’t really talk about what I’m feeling. I do think I am also very disconnected from people. I have a wide variety of interests so I can be part of multiple friend groups at the same time, which is why I feel so lonely, because I am never in one deeply enough to find true connections. I have a feeling I know who my new group of people are though!
Over all though, I am so excited to enter void. I have always known that I will, but it was just up to me to decide when. I’ve been putting in extra effort and I’m glad to see it’s paying off. And most of all, I’m excited to shift and be whatever I want to be! I don’t think anyone would be really, truly free until they experienced shifting, but then again, this is coming from someone who has never consciously shifted before (but I’m sure that’s still true).
Anyways, sorry this was so long, I think I kind of just went on a tangent with this one haha 😅 But fr tho, I can’t thank you enough for this, this has really helped me and re-inspired me a lot. I think everyone should give your intuition readings a try because it’s never bad to ask for help and advice, regardless of where you are in your void journey. This is also a great source of positivity for people who may feel stuck in their journey.
(Btw, I love how you complimented everyone in your response to the reading asks, it’s literally so sweet 🥹)
Thank you again for the reading! ♥️
OMG AAHHHH IM SO HAPPY WAIT
i literally read this whole thing during my lunch period and it made me so happy n smily (my friends probs think i have a new bf or something but no 😭😭 it’s this insane!!)
during my time in this earth, both before and after I shift i strive to be a guide. i want to help others reach their goals and get better in this life. every time i feel as if i help others, it brings new light and energy to my spirit. <3
im so glad i have you some hope and motivation, and i REALLY hope u get the help u need sometime!! i know financial issues r a real hinderance w mental health n to genuinely drives me insane 💀💀💀
i love u sm!!! i’m glad it helped!!

SORRY GUYS OMG BRAINROT MOMENT 💥💥💥
So if it wasn’t obvious with the lil Gong Shu asks I’ve been doing more recently YES I PLAY DND but alsoooo I do dm infact I just had my first session today (yesterday)!!
And I feel like going on a tangent really so no LMK content today it’s more dnd stuff I know I knowww
BUT DND OK???
(Ready for my ramble?! Read on!!! Let me know what you think as wellll)
So first right to get this out of the way I won’t go too much into detail what it is about since I believe 2(?) of my players follow me here and I don’t want them to get spoiled for stuff we haven’t reached. But I can share these silly NPCS!!
As well as the oneshot (yes this is a oneshot) is called Stuck in Smiles and is a Horror/Halloween based oneshot 😋
Below thou are three of the NPCS that I get to play! Dinko was and still is currently the players favorite in this household so… I mean i can’t blame them thou. She’s a skrunkly birdddd (she’s not blind btw)
Tumblr media
But anyways she’s sorta like a guide basically but the players decided to steal her from the candy shopkeeper and now are in a mysterious mansion in a different Demi-plane 👍
I’m said Demi-plane they meet two other children, I forgot to mention this but all the players’ characters are small children as we have a stat blocker(?) that de-ages them or somethin I don’t remember off the top my head.
But anywaysss they meet other children there which I can’t ramble much about them rn besides the fact that Sha is currently missing and the last time that any of the players saw him was through a keyhole laying on the ground being dragged away…
while Jia um she’s possessing one of the players now 😀 (they volunteered btw I didn’t give them this option) since they want Jia to help find Sha since the two are friends(ish)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are their goals though nowww as of Session 1!!
Take care of Jia if anything happens to Sha
Find or Make Jia a new body to possess for herself
Find and Rescue Sha
Make it out of the Mansion
Also yes I am aware my art style looks different in each one of the pieces, my art style fluctuates depending on what I use and the day 👍

Hey, I’m so sorry I know you don’t know me and I’m not following you, I don’t mean to pry or invade your privacy I’d just love to share something with you more like I need you, I’m Ameera 23 years old, and I’m calling out to the community 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 to please support us so me and my girlfriend can come out, we have dreams about going for pride rallies,clubs, to be able to kiss in a park express love with no restrictions or fear of being caught, we are both from a typical religious Muslim family, we are know as best friends by our families and friends, we have made this decision to come out to everyone so many times but couldn’t because of how homophobic our parents are due to religious values and ethics. Any one from a typical religious Muslim family can attest to how important it is to follow the rules and moral that are in the holy Quran, So we have come to a conclusion to be ready and be prepared for the worst, Cause the price we may have to pay is to lose our families and maybe friends and of course their support, so we have decided to get an apartment and move in together and start a new life where we can freely be who we really are, and here is where we need your support, though we both work and have some money saved up, but we still need help, getting and setting up an apartment is a lot so we will definitely need all the love and support we can get(donation link pinned on page), Thank you for your donations so far,but we are still 37% to the goal so please add your own bit,I know everyone have one or two things we go through, and this is not me imposing on any one to help, but if you can with how ever little, it will be so much appreciated, and if you can’t, kindly reach out to encourage us cause we also need that as much,This is the biggest and hardest decision we have ever had to make and please share to whoever you feel can help. We shall draw strength from the pride to pull through this, I’M NOT A SCAM feel free to go through my page or do whatever to confirm and my DM is open if you have questions or requests to clear your doubts, I believe pride is for all

Hey all! Important updates:💚
- I’ll be closing my Etsy shop starting Sunday night (9/3) @ 11pm PT until at least the 22nd. I’m starting my last year of uni rn and am s t i l l (😒) figuring out new treatment for my fibro, so I need to chill & adjust for a bit. Goal is to open back up with a new restock on the 30th, so I’ll be working towards that. I’ll keep you updated.❤️
- To everyone who got a delayed order, soon I’ll be sending out discounts via Etsy to any future purchase as an apology. I truly never expected it to take so long to ship everything out, and I’m so sorry!
Having a chronic illness s u c k s and I loathe how much it affects my business. I try to counteract that by being as helpful & generous as possible, so hopefully that comes across lol. I never want any of you to be frustrated, so if you EVER feel that way then pls reach out. I’ll do my best to fix it, I promise💕
(On that note: I am so, SO grateful that my shop is successful and that you all have supported me through everything. You all are truly incredible and I’ll forever be thankful for you❤️)
- Starting next restock my shop will be going multifandom. I’ll still be making Pedro pops so don’t worry about that—I just think it’s time to start making different things. I’ve been making Pedro pops for three years (which is crazy to think about😳), and although I’m SO grateful that you still enjoy them, I want to start branching out with what I make. Plus I’m running out of characters too lmao🤣💀
- Next restock will have some current Pedro pops plus Dave York & some Genshin Impact pops. Two very different fandoms lmao, but I’ll be making stuff from other fandoms in the future too so dw😂 If you have any suggestions on what fandoms/characters you’d like me to make pops of then please let me know whenever, I always am in need of ideas!
I think that’s about it for right now, though I’ll update you all if I remember anything haha. Again, thank you so so much for your kindness and patience. I can’t say it enough. You’re amazing.
Love you all!❤️
- Hail

A Brand Freaking New Year
My mom told me and my brother that we have to come up with some New Year's resolutions by the end of the week. I haven't started thinking about it, which is totally fine.
"It's only Wednesday," she says with no idea with what she wants her resolutions to be.
I'm not one that believes in New Year's resolutions. I used to, but then sometime, somewhere, someone on the internet told me that they're unsustainable. MAKES TOTAL SENSE! I agree! We write down a bunch of fluff that we think we can tackle by the end of the year, and by the 3rd week, we give up. That and my favorite argument that I always used was the whole, "why do you need one day to define your whole year" thing. Like, someone can make goals at any day of the year, why does it have to be January 1st - "if you really wanted to reach your goal, you'd start right now." And yeah, I get all of the sentiment. I understand. We're all little weak-minded individuals that need instant change and gratitude and can't handle the necessary means that it takes to set goals, fulfill them, and continue trudging through a generally sucky world.
But, here I am! About to write down some resolutions. I really think that I can do it this year. Looking back, I did do a few things on my vIsiOn BoaRd considering I looked at that thing once. It was very pretty.
ANyway. On with it
1. Reestablish healthy levels of dopamine
My only issue is my phone consumption and automatically, my social media consumption. THROUGH the roof. Embarrassingly too high. Makes me sick, frustrated, and unruly. I hate going on my phone, but I literally cannot help it. It really do be an addiction, so I'm gonna do whatever it takes to actually not be obsessed with my phone. Starting rn!! Timers to Snapchat and Youtube were set. I deleted Instagram off my phone because that's honestly an easier one to delete. Twitter and Instagram are still on my laptop, and I'm gonna keep that because I'm easily less likely to go on my laptop to scroll on the media. I also don't watch Youtube on my laptop that much?
2. Become my own best friend
Haha! I hate myself! Nothing new, but I’ve been slowly becoming my own friend again. Not yelling at myself all the time - allowing myself to make mistakes - not expecting perfection - not invalidating my own feelings - trying to build my own confidence again - being sure of my words and self even if I’m unsure, being sure of my uncertainty..... A lot. Yanno maybe take myself out on dates and make time for me. I just want to trust myself again, and be my own friend. I deserve that level of respect and love to myself especially if I provide that for my friends. 
3. Invest in my hobbies, skills, and interests
With my newly established dopamine, I will also make more times for things that matter in my life such as: painting, drawing, guitar, bass, podcasting, writing on here perhaps, etc.. This goes hand in hand with my first resolution, so hopefully this comes naturally. I am a little nervous because I have neglected these things before as I’ve gone on this journey multiple times. I am going to have to figure out how I’m going to allot time to these things. These things require effort, and being on my phone did not. I’m naturally a tired person, but maybe that was my phone. I dunno! We will SEE!
4. Create meaningful relationships
I haven’t been the type to maintain friendships. I’ve gotten better. I have three solid lifetime friendships, which is more than most people can say and I’m so endlessly grateful for them. I have 4-6 solid good friends, which is also awesome, and a bunch of acquaintances that easily could be great friends had I put a little more effort. I’m not looking for more friends because I am very content with the people that I have, but I do want to make every interaction I have with someone meaningful and positive. This requires a little more effort in reaching out, keeping and making plans, and establishing a solid friendship even if it doesn’t last forever. I say this mostly because I’ve closed myself off to people - mostly unintentional, and I want to understand others more. 
5. Mind, body, soul
Journal/Read, exercise/eat healthy, pray
Seems self explanatory, I’m pretty decent at like 1.5 of them. Praying is gonna be tough, but I do want to appreciate it more. But that want must turn into action, so I will pray. Maybe just listen at first, which I have done, but seriously like. It’s another outlet. I love my religion and what it stands for, so I should make time. 
6. Understand my career better
 Side quest, but a very important side quest. I wanna know what I might get into. How to do it. What can I do to understand it, so I wanna take a lot of time to really dig in and invest in my future.

Long paragraphs (Ask?) ahead!
i dont really have a question, but ill add it at the bottom so im still asking a question to submit this lol! (im new in tumblr so uh)
im just kinda here to make a sort of confession. i stalked your tumblr account and of course i love your arts (no, thats not the confession.) im enamoured with just how your ideas really translate into your doodles. the way you can really see that you dont have fears how it will turn out, you just,,, create. how do i describe the thoughts you make me think of when i look at your arts? the way it looks and how very free you are in expressing your ideas. like, you have nothing holding you back, no insecurities.
i apologize if it seems like a backhanded compliment but im most likely comparing you to myself, how i feel restrained whenever i face a canvas bc i have to make it look good. always. but seeing your art has broken those beliefs. you turned over my world and for a few minutes of processing what i felt, my only thoughts about you was 'what a curious entity,' because whats foreign to us is often so considered that way. you were that to me. and i left it at that.
but then i was doing my chores, or something equally mundane in my everyday life, nothing related to drawing or art or tma. and then i had a sudden, random thought that i want to be as free as that one tumblr user. and i realized you made more of an impression to me than i initially thought because im frustrated, while also trying to be gentler with myself that i want to be free too. that youre supposed to enjoy the art you make and youre supposed to do it for yourself and youre supposed to enjoy the process while kicking yourself in the butt because youre suffering with art but you still love it. you gave that impression to me. and i love your works.
so i guess the confession here is that i just trauma dumped you(i think.) no, srlsy though, you just caused me an epiphany and i want to thank you for that.
anyways, how's your day? hopefully i didnt ruin it with this unnecessary rant. thank you for reading.
I’m so sorry if anything I say comes off odd, anon, I’m kind of. At a loss for words rn,,
First off just. Thank you so much. Thank you for taking the time to write this and thank you for sending it. This really means a lot. I’m honored to have had such an effect on someone, and I’m so happy that you’ve found meaning in my art.
Not sure if Tumblr automatically cuts off long asks anyway but. A lil bit of rambling under the cut hsjfkfd
(Probably going to restate a lot of stuff that’s been said by a bajillion people before but you never know. Someone might need it. Sorry anyway)
To be completely honest I’m actually. Not a super carefree person. And ik that for a long time that extended to my art as well. I had to get things just the way I wanted them or what was the point? Whenever I sat down to draw, I thought ‘this is the one. This time I’m obviously going to achieve astonishing godlike perfection with my. pencil i found on the floor and half-baked idea and ten year old hands. Oh yeah this is the one.’ Which of course it never was.
But what I’ve learned is that trying to make something perfect is a 100% Foolproof way to make something you’re not satisfied with. Perfect’s thee most unattainable goal out there because it literally Does Not Exist, so when you try to reach it, it’s logical that you always fall flat in some way
I will now proceed to be the most original person to ever grace this planet and say that mistakes are the only way to improve. You can’t learn unless you try, fail, notice the things you weren’t satisfied with, try again. Wonderful strategy for making a good thing is to make a whole bunch of shitty things.
Even if you don’t notice it, you’re always improving!! All practice is good practice there is literally no such thing as bad practice
Also. Something I’ve found really helpful is that if you mess something up, even if it was going really well beforehand, there’s always the next thing yk? Paint over the canvas to refresh it for the next time you draw. Close the file and open a new one the next day. Shut your sketchbook, let yourself open it again when you’re ready to. There’s always a next time. You can always make something new, no matter how small or big it is.
This has been really long winded I’m sorry. Just I guess what I’m trying to say 2 whoever might still be reading is that letting go of perfect is the best thing you can do in order to make something good. Whether it’s a painting, or a draft, or a cursed little doodle of a cat in the margins of your homework, the closest you can get to something perfect is something that made you happy while you created it.
Here is a little fellow. He loves you a lot
