🎀30 Day Glow Up Challenge 🎀 - day one

♡ Mindset : I’ve been reading “The Power Of One More” and honestly it is a life changing book I definitely recommend. The author did a interview with Jay Shetty and he immediately got me I found his book the same day lol. In the first chapter he speaks about how you have to let go of your past identity to get to who you truly want to be no amount of skills you learn and book you read will help if you don’t change your identity. In this 30 day glow up challenge I am working on the things I want to change to get closer to my higher self. I haven’t journaled in a long time and today I picked up my journal and journaled 3 things I’m grateful for. I forgot to say my affirmations sadly<333

♡ Health : I didn’t get to meal prep so I went to key foods and picked up lunch I kept it on track with my meal . Im so dedicated to getting to my best self before summer I want this body to be teaaaa lol. I don’t workout on Mondays and Fridays but I did a HIIT workout at home after work I felt so good after.

♡ Self Care : I applied my morning skin care products, I was so lazyyy to do my nightly skin care but I did it anyway which I’m proud of and I’ve been doing research on hydrafacials I def plan on getting one soon. I’ve also been interested in red light therapy for my skin as well. I’ll update you girliessss<333

♡ Experience : I’ve been working on some of my hobbies and I’ve been growing new friendships I’ve met a lot of really nice girls especially on campus and becoming social was apart of my goals this semester and I’ve been putting myself out there.

Overall today was super good very relaxing and the weather was amazing which added to the mood I posted day one of the challenge but these posts will be weekly instead of daily because of my schedule<3333

Sort of insane how terribly most people write Lisa’s powers, like yes you’re sort supposed to use her as an exposition machine but no she does not know the exact thoughts of someone down to the very words through a computer screen. Like maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty damn sure her power is only able to make extrapolations from information readily infront of her and typically only a couple of layers deep. Like she’s basically able to guess one or two facts she doesn’t already know to fill in the final puzzle piece. As an example my interpretation of the stuff at the bank is that the only way she’s able to figure out everything about Amy and Victoria is because they’re both there in the same room, is able to antagonize them with her words, and because she’s probably been doing background research. Only once she had that information and choose to use her power directly on it was she able to piece the whole thing together. Like she can definitely piece together surface reasoning and planning but she often does know the rules and exact motivations or plans of someone just stuff like “they’re lying” “they’re hiding something” “they’re confused”, “they’re horny” and only after prodding someone is her power able to get more information from body language and stuff. Idk maybe I’m wrong and this rant is overzealous but it keeps annoying me when I read fics.

 Pelopidas and Epaminondas for @attichoney4u🌷I wanted to draw them having a restful moment in between organizing the sacred band of thebes :)

#yayyy tumblr messed up the colors againnn so awesome #my art #ancient greece #pelopidas #epaminondas #sacred band of thebes #I also recorded the process for the drawing #which is something I’m trying to do for requests in the future so i can talk about the research & planning #they’re all different in a fun way from what I usually draw!

isn’t it funny how the most enmeshed demigod families are the graces and the chases lol

#I was doing character research because for show choir I’m singing My Grand Plan #And then I was remembering how Thalia and Jason were both from different forms of zeus #And THEN I was remembering Magnus and Annabeth- both from different branches of mythology #And then I went ‘oh hey chases and graces that rhymes it’s shitpost time’ and here we are #Sol’s shitposts #Annabeth chase #magnus chase #jason grace #thalia grace

as usual i am up late into the night planning my future when i should be: getting a good nights sleep so that i even have a future!!

#i have work in seven and a half hours. so i should really be getting to bed #BUT i officially made my final definitive degree plan!!!! i mean not the actual classes but all the requirements i have to meet and how!! #(in order to earn: history and information science double major. with certificates in material culture and classics) #and i’m genuinely excited for every single class i have to take except for human-computer interaction #just cause i know it’s gonna get overly technical in ways that won’t quite apply to my future #anyway every single other thing i’m gonna do is very cool and exciting. so everything is good really #but i should be sleeping. and i’m not. as usual 🤧 #idk wish me luck!!!! i’m so hyped about my degree plan though #i’ll go into more detail another time. i’m very excited #ANYWAY goodnight!!!! can’t be so busy planning my future in library science that i DONT GO TO MY SHELVING JOB #kind of important to actually go to work for the library that employs me…. #and then i might go see a first-printing roget’s thesaurus!!!! or i’ll sleep. we’ll see #followed by lunch with GUY WHO IS THE WORST KILL HIM WITH HAMMERS #(there is nothing really wrong with me he just keeps kind of being mean to me and also expecting me to fall in love with him. but like #extremely passively and not manipulatively it’s just like. hey buddy you’re doing this friendship wrong….) #anyway then i have a class and after that i have an hour to rest. and then a phone call and then a lot of homework #(ten page paper draft due in a week and a half!! so it’s time to start writing the actual body of it) #and then i sleep for a LONG time and then work again on saturday. and then sleepover with somebody i have a crush on?? #and then be normal all day on sunday and do a little more paper writing. and programming homework. and whatever else #and then keep up with the slog for three weeks!!!! and all of a sudden it’s summer!!!! #projects left this year: material culture paper (entirely unstarted. but may research the thesaurus and just win!!!!) #history project (draft due the monday after next and real paper due a week after classes end) #one more programming assignment where i adapt my recipe doubler project (probably. it’s getting stupid at this point but it’s what i got!!) #and a programming test in two weeks and then the final a week after that. then no more programming #and then i just have my weekly latin tests and a latin final on may 5th. and then EVERYTHING IS DONE #ok i got this. sorry for walking through my schedule in the tags it’s how i remember what’s real #can’t believe my fucking partner just kind of walked out on me there hello???? like. we should be powering through finals together #but i’m genuinely better off without him so i guess it’s just whatever. trash took itself out or something?? #anyway. i’m so regular. and i have work in the morning. and i’m going to sleep #thank you world. goodnight

This may be a good and normal thing but I have absolutely zero regrets about having purchased the laptop last night. Like all day yesterday and even as I was buying I was going oh god should I should I not but now I’m not even having second thoughts about the huge display lmao

#SO FUCKING GLAD that I actually did some extra research rather than just going meh the one I looked at before is probably better #I think it was a SIGN that I got paid a little early for the month’s work and then like the day after the laptop I bought went on sale #(Didn’t actually pay immediately so I didn’t USE any of that money but that is besides the point) #Only with the reservation of man… it’s big… and heavy… and REALLY huge and that’s bad… #I HAD deep down been going ‘man if only there was a bigger laptop with the same specs as the one I wanna buy’ #And then!!! This baby pops up!! With a big display and BETTER specs!!!!!!!! #Cannot begin to express my excitement at playing Real People Games like that hasn’t even been a POSSIBILITY #Stray is at the top of my list right next to ranch of rivershine #And also probably Elden Ring that shit looks NEAT #(Also yes there is a catch and a reason this one is cheaper even though it’s better! The one I was planning on getting had an OLED display #This one’s just a normal good old LCD display. But in all honesty that is ABSOLUTELY a sacrifice I’m willing to make lol) #z talks #not horse game #Also the fact it’s not currently in stock so I’ll be waiting almost 3 weeks for it also very much feels like a good thing #Like. I have a Date on which I can expect to Receive It. And that means I have a very set time frame for the stuff I want to do to prepare #(mainly organise my cloud storage to make sure everything’s where it should be) #(but that’s a bigger problem than it might sound like because I have a LOT of files)

#fretting over my future once more. i’m afraid i might actually kms if i go back to a regular school but i’m worried i’ll completely #fuck up my chances of getting into a university if i don't #turning to that cursed website Quora . i can’t do this i’m just TERRIFIED i’ll fuck up and only realize it a year down the line #i don’t want to think about what hasn’t even happened yet but i can’t just blissfully ignore the possible consequences either #i hate that this happened to me. i already had a Plan. a straightforward idea of what i was going to do and then i get ARRESTED omggg #why is it me that has to have my life disrupted like this‚ right? i hope hope hope things will turn out okay in the end but i am just sad #about everything that’s ever happened to me #i want to do the private candidate thing so badly but it means not finishing the last 2 yrs of highschool #i’d still technically be learning tbe same things but its more about the certificate or whatever that comes with it #and the friends‚ too .... #of course you only do this to me when i am almost at the finish line and ive found people i click with! thank you 👍🏻 salamat sa lahat 🤗 #i need to do more research on the topic before freaking out . but i'm just. eugh so so sososososo sad #💭 #negative #cw vent #edit: it is becoming more and more likely that finishing my edu in a regular school would be the best option but AHHH #i really. i really cant emphasize how much i dont want that for myself. i hate it #i miss my home so terribly. but whatever i guess! #also i relapsed so thats kind of a bummer ... #cw self harm

well. I think I’m going to end up doing a case study (or perhaps comparative case studies) for my thesis. if people know of any particularly interesting disability cases I can check out please let me know :)

#doing my big research session tomorrow after I get home from the gym + a work training session #and then more research on friday after I get home from the gym #yes I’m going to the gym two days in a row #anyway. I finally have time to sort this out so yep 👍 planning time

self portrait

#acrylics on canvas #!!! #i !! didn’t !! do !! any !! planning !! #literally no drawing underneath #no underpainting #i’m insane #no really i wanted to do a self portrait in the style of oskar kokoschka #i did my research and learned he rarely ever planned his pieces before painting them #so this is my adaptation of his self protrait from 1917 #oskar kokoschka #payton’s art #art #painting

I forgot I have to write all my summer research internship apps too :|

#genuinely from the bottom of my heart. god help me. #there are a bunch with end of January deadlines and I really should get them done by the start of the semester so the career advising offic #can proofread it before submitting #and! I’m finally having the career crisis where I realize that I’m not guaranteed a job in research or academia or even grad school #and then that means I have to completely scrap my plans for what I thought I wanted to do with my life (honestly I’m surprised I made it #this far) and figure out if I want to do finance consulting or whatever else wants my skills. maybe I’ll join the nps. who knows. #anyway. I know this is a common experience. it sucks though !

here’s a poorly constructed headcanon/rant because my brain is very full rn

yk how there are various poc headcanons for james? like indian, hispanic, filipino, etc. (which i love by the way dont get me wrong!! i love how various groups can share their experiences through him it genuinely brings me joy)

what if i just.. make him jamaican in one of or several of my fics?? what happens then?? who’s to stop me?? like imagine indo-jamaican effie and afro-jamaican monty moving to england during the mass migratory period, settling into the wizarding community there then having james??

and james grows accustomed to wizarding society and england in general but his parents also make sure he still understands his roots

and i can imagine them speaking to him in patois at home and him teaching the boys bits and pieces of the dialect

and because i also head canon that mary is of jamaican decent as well (more so that she has extended family living there even though her parents were born in england), i think she’d let him help her stay in touch with her culture and they’d trade recipes too because jamaican food is god tier and everyone should try it (seriously)

one thing i’ve always been hesitant about is writing my dialect within fanfic. because like when it’s a standard language like french or english it just feels different ig like maybe people won’t be interested in jamaican creole as much because it’s not thought of as one of those romantic languages really it’s just broken english to many people and also it’s not really a language that’s formally written outside of jamaican literature or casual texting between jamaicans

but ykw i don’t think it should matter to me this much and i think i’ll write it regardless because my dialect deserves to be celebrated and also writing is supposed to be a form of expression, there’s no use worrying about what ppl will think about it really and i could def put end notes with translations and stuff

jesus this went from a headcanon to rant to me accepting that i’m allowed to write patois into my fics☠️

#james potter #the gears are turning #and i’ve always felt strongly about the mary portion of the head canon #i think in large part because of atyd #but james #i think it’s because of how after reentering the fandom i just started seeing myself in him so much #so i figured why not just dump my culture unto him as well #what’s he gonna do rise from the dead and tell me i can’t☠️🙏🏾⁉️⁉️ #jegulus #mary mcdonald #british jamaicans #marauders #marauder headcanons #fic ideas #the fic was already in the planning stage i just wasn’t sure about certain elements but i’m sure now i think #i just hope i can stay motivated enough to get through it #and i hope i keep focused on the fun of it instead of the technical bits like wizarding culture and canon events #i always end up spiralling into research and lose the will to write

guy obsessed with the experience of play

#i’m goin post! #if i ever end up doing a master’s thesis (unlikely) i wanna do research regarding play and it’s use in emotional regulation for kids #ever since i started seriously trying to plan my tragedy ttrpg mini campaign i’ve been thinking so much about it #i mean i’m always thinking about the experience of play but now i’m having Concrete thoughts about it #regarding like. how every aspect of a ttrpg experience is part of playing them #and everything’s a game yadda yadda yadda #and especially what players (including GMs) do to craft that experience in specific ways #how we enter the roleplay; how we exit the roleplay; how every decision affects the roleplay #what are the social rules of play; how are they different from social rules when you’re not ‘playing’ #GAH head full. i love ttrpgs

I desperately want to write nothing else fills this weekend but unfortunately I have nearly run out of ‘fuck around’ time and realllyyyy don’t want to find out

#I mean I work this weekend in an ICU which isn’t very busy #but I need to do a quality improvement presentation and to send my residents some nice educational articles #and set up meetings for research and have a panic attack about my future #and start working on moonlighting stuff so I can make some money #and plan a trip to japan!!!! for our 5 year wedding anniversary #…..also I feel like people don’t really care about my writing anymore #which is so stupid and self-obsessive but whatever #I just haven’t gotten so few comments on stuff in forever which again is FINE #but I think people just don’t like or don’t read my stuff anymore #maybe I’m past my prime in writing for fandom idk #…anyway #I’m still gonna write though it’s in my heart what else can I do lmao #sit here with these thoughts and feelings? no thanks

why is researching for a fic like this

#bam writes #rambles #this isn’t even for a fic that’s gonna be posted anytime soon #it’s a fucking sequel to a fic still in its planning and outlining stages #and before anyone asks yes it is a hobbit fic #every time I open a tab to check something I open like six more to make sure I have all the right info #I need to dig out my copy of the silmarillion tbh but my shit is everywhere rn #plus researching and writing is more fun than reading according to my brain #at least wikis condense info for me 😭 #doing all this research and I’m still gonna butcher parts of the timeline for the hell of it #I’m joking it’s for plot #reconfiguring stuff just making sure I have names and lineages and places and such #but I’m still gonna fuck around with it #I’m actually having a lot of fun I love researching #it just always mean I have a window with sixty tabs of the tolkien gateway open at any given moment #the things I do for my movie-only five-minutes-of-screentime blorbo #praying I stay on my Figrid kick for a while so I can get some stuff done #got a oneshot in the works #got two wips to finish #and then my bigger upcoming wips #this duology. as we can see. that requires *a lot* #plus the *potential* outsider pov time loop fic *if* I can get it to work the way I want it to #fiinf
