Do you have any advice for writing description if you don’t really have a “mind’s eye”? I really struggle because I have a really hard time thinking/imagining things visually. (I know visuals aren’t the only type of description you can include when writing, but I’d still like to improve at them.)

Three Quick Tips for Describing Visuals

Your character has just stepped into the throne room of a medieval castle. You have a vague mental image of what this castle and its throne room look like, but you have no idea how to go about describing it. So, what do you do? Here are three quick tips that will help you with your description:

1 - Gather Inspiration Images - Inspiration images are a great way to refine the picture in your mind's eye and keep details straight. Just go to your favorite search engine and plug in your keywords, then scroll through the results to find images that speak to you. Save them in a folder on your device so you can refer to them as needed. You may even want to create a "mood board" collage or a Pinterest board.

Example: "fantasy medieval throne room"

2 - Gather Your Vocab - Once you have your inspiration images in hand, you find it hard to put what you're seeing into words because you're missing the necessary vocabulary to describe what you're seeing. Fortunately, you can search for lists, diagrams, and labeled images that will tell you what things are called. If you need the door into the throne room, try looking up "door styles" or "types of doors." If you need to describe the throne, try looking up "chair styles" or "parts of a chair."

Example: "parts of a castle" & "parts of a throne" 3 - Gather Your Other Atmospheric and Sensory Details - Next, you want to consider the atmospheric and sensory details, then gather your words. What can the character see? (What color are the stone walls? Is the air hazy? Are there flickering candles in wrought iron torchieres?) What can they hear? (Are voices echoing through the cavernous hall? Is there lute music playing?) What can they smell? (Is there wood smoke from the torches on the walls? Is there the smell of roasted meat wafting from the kitchens?) What can they taste? (If they're nervous, do they taste bile in the back of their throat or salt from their sweat?) What can they feel? (Is the throne room warm from all the people? Cold because it's cavernous and stone?)

Example: "shades of the color gray" & "words to describe smells" Have fun with your story!

[my-autism-adhd-blog]

Hi so I’m an incoming freshman I have autism and ADHD I was wondering do you have any tips for high school specifically for people with autism and ADHD like me? Thank you for your time!!

Hi there,

It’s been out of school since 2015, so I’m rusty with tips. However I did find one article listing 12 tips that might help:

1. You don’t need ONE study space.

A well-stocked desk in a quiet place at home is key, but sometimes you need variety. Coffee shops, libraries, parks, or even just moving to the kitchen table will give you a change of scenery which can prompt your brain to retain information better.

2. Track more than HW in your school planner.

Keeping a calendar helps you plan ahead—but you’ve got more going on than just homework assignments! Make sure you’re marking your extracurricular, work, and social commitments, too. (Tests, band practice, away games, SAT dates, half-days and holidays are just a few examples of reminders for your planner.)

3. Start small.

If you’ve got a big assignment looming, like a research paper, stay motivated by completing a piece of the project every few days. Write one paragraph each night. Or, do 5 algebra problems from your problem set at a time, and then take a break.

4. School supplies (alone) don’t make you organized.

Come up with a system and keep to it. Do you keep one big binder for all your classes with color-coded tabs? Or do you prefer to keep separate notebooks and a folder for handouts? Keep the system simple—if it’s too fancy or complicated, you are less likely to keep it up everyday.

5. Get into a routine.

When will you make the time to do your homework every day? Find the time of day that works best for you (this can change day-to-day, depending on your schedule!), and make a plan to hit the books.

6. Learn how to create a distraction-free zone.

A study on workplace distractions found that it takes workers an average of 25 minutes to return to what they were working on pre-interruption. Try turning off your phone notifications or blocking Twitter (temporarily) on your computer so you can concentrate on the homework tasks at hand.

7. Get real.

When you’re looking at the homework you have to get done tonight, be realistic about how long things actually take. Gauging that reading a history chapter will take an hour and writing a response will take another 30 minutes will help you plan how you spend your time.

8. Use class time wisely.

Is your teacher finished lecturing, but you still have 10 minutes of class left? Get a jump on your chemistry homework while it’s still fresh in your mind. Or use the time to ask your teacher about concepts that were fuzzy the first time.

9. Look over your notes each night to make sure you've got it.

Fill in details, edit the parts that don’t make sense, and star or highlight the bits of information that you know are most important. Interacting with your notes will help you remember them. You can also use Homework Help to get your questions answered 24/7.

10. Study a little every day.

Cramming Spanish vocabulary for a quiz might work in the short-term, but when comes time to study for midterms, you’ll be back at square 1. You might remember the vocab list long enough to ace the quiz, but reviewing the terms later will help you store them for the long haul.

11. Don’t let a bad grade keep you down.

A rough start to the semester doesn’t have to sink your GPA. Take proactive steps by checking your grades regularly online and getting a tutor if you need one.

12. Make a friend in every class.

Find a few people you can contact from each of your classes if you have a homework question or had to miss class (and do the same for them!).  Then when it comes time to study for exams, you'll already have a study group.

The article will be below:

I hope this helps. Thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ♥️

Spiral Out, Try to Float--Logan and Virgil, Hurt/Comfort

Requested by @amateurmasksmith a very long time ago 😭 Apologies for how long this took. School's been crazy!

Summary: Logan has an anxiety attack. Virgil helps him.

Relationships: Platonic Analogical

Words: 610

Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51837730

The world was spinning. Which, of course, it was supposed to, but not like this.

Logan put his head in his hands, breathing fast. Snippets from his extensive to-do list whirled in his brain. Write current skit. Brainstorm next skit. Schedule meeting with Roman. He squeezed his eyes shut. Deep-clean kitchen. Write next week’s schedule.

Logan knew what he should do, Patton had talked him through things after the last time he’d had an attack like this. Close his eyes, take deep breaths, think of calm imagery. A still lake. The peace of deep space.

He couldn’t seem to get enough control of himself to do any of that now, though. I’ll never get all of it done. Never. He could feel the corners of his eyes begin to prickle with tears. I shouldn’t be feeling this way. I shouldn’t be crying over this.

“Logan?”

Logan’s head snapped towards the door. Virgil leaned against the doorframe, his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, his face contorted in concern.

“Will you—will you—will you close the door?” Logan stammered. Virgil pulled the door shut, walking into the room.

“You okay? Well, I mean, clearly… what’s up?” Virgil sat on the side of the desk; one hand emerging from his pocket to run through his hair.

“I’m—” Logan forced himself to take a long, shuddering breath. “I just have a lot going on.”

“And you’re having an anxiety attack.” Virgil said gently.

Logan took another breath. “No… you have anxiety attacks. I don’t.”

Virgil laughed. “Logan, you absolutely have anxiety attacks.”

“No, I don’t.”

“You’re shaking.” Virgil pointed out. Logan looked at his hand, and sure enough, it was trembling. “You’re having an anxiety attack. It’s okay.”

“I need to get things done. I need to get things done. I don’t—I can’t—it’ll never get finished.” Logan’s breathing got quick again as he refocused on his issue.

“Logan.” Virgil’s hand hovered above his. “Can I touch you?”

Logan’s eyes flicked up to Virgil’s as he nodded. Virgil took Logan’s hand. “Can you focus on me for a bit? Focus on my hand, how it feels in yours.”

Logan closed his eyes, moving his entire awareness to his fingers intertwined with Virgil’s. He noticed every little twitch of his fingers, the weight of Virgil’s hand, the sweat on his palm. His breathing began to slow.

“Good.” Virgil murmured. “Now can you imagine space? Neptune, or the butterfly nebula, or… anything like that?”

Logan almost smiled at that. He’d rambled enough about space that Virgil knew it was an interest of his, but he talked about his favorite planet and nebula more than other topics.

He envisioned the butterfly nebula, its vibrant colors, its ever-shifting forms and shapes. He lost himself in it, Virgil’s hand his tether as his breathing evened out and his heart rate slowed back to normal.

Virgil squeezed his hand. “Logan?”

Logan exhaled, opening his eyes. “Yes.”

“How are you feeling?”

“Better.”

“Yeah?”

Logan nodded. “Yes.”

“Good.” Virgil gave Logan’s hand another squeeze, then released it.

“Don’t—” Logan swallowed. “Don’t leave.”

“I won’t leave.” Virgil gave him a soft smile. “Do you want to do something, and then if you want you can come back to your work? When I’m stressed, I make myself tea.”

“I believe that would be a prudent step to take.”

Virgil laughed a little. “Prudent. Back to your vocab already.”

Logan smiled a bit, too. “Prudent isn’t an excessively difficult or complicated word.”

“I guess, but it’s not the most common word in the world, either.”

“I suppose.”

“Come on.” Virgil hopped off the desk. “Lets’ get you some tea.”

korean resources list (120524 edition)

I've scheduled quite a few Korean langblr vocab and grammar posts up until the end of May! Some are lifted straight from my own resources, most notably my book (서울대 한국어 6A) which I'm using as a study guide. The rest is personal notes, relevant media I found, explanations, examples, and writing/practice prompts. I will collect all of them as a masterpost at the end of the month (and link it here).

In the meantime though, I want to make this post to share some general resources! I'll continue to add on more to this post in the future.

● [my posts, soon]

● audio/video: These don't offer translations for the most part, but are good for ~immersion~. x Naver's 오디오클립 [desktop] [playstore] - has daily news, radio, podcasts, some free audiobooks and more. It covers anything from regular news outlets to old womens' wellbeing advice. You may need to dig through a whole lot of world economy and financing though lol x EBS Documentaries [youtube channel] - videos about anything and everything, usually ranging from 10 minutes to half an hour ish. Since it often covers regular people in their home and work, you can find very natural language. Besides that there's a whole bunch of videos on history and important topics from both in Korea and all over the world. x Yeongji!!! [차린건 쥐뿔도 없지만 youtube channel] - this ended a while ago but the girl (a musician herself) gets drunk with famous people in her apartment kitchen. There's a ton of editions; Casual language, mostly fun and goodlooking people, dumb humour. Many are subbed in English too!

● reading: x Humans of Seoul [@'humans-of-seoul on tumblr] - like HONY, photographs with short personal anecdotes from the conversation. Mostly simple, natural language, and a translation to English! One thing I like especially for beginner learners, is that there's a couple posts for most of these people with quotes that can be understood on their own as well as together with the other parts. x A game I play has Korean localisation including voiceacting on a lot of quests. I try my best to actually read/listen and comprehend instead of skipping over. If like games, try downloading the Korean language patch or playing a Korean-made game!

● translation/dictionary: Please use these instead of google translate for Korean if you can!! x Papago [desktop] [playstore] and Naver Dictionary [desktop] [playstore] - (these link to eachother as well.) I'd recommend using Naver's Korean dictionary over the English-Korean one whenever you can for definitions and explanations. The English one besides also just being very good regardless, also has a very useful feature where it includes many examples - usually translated - including weverse (livestream) subtitles. Check it out!

feel free to comment or reblog or message me with recommendations. i'll only add things i'd actually use or recommend to the og post though, and nothing too specific ~

some of vi's favorite perfume / fragrantica reviews...

on shocking by schiaparelli

To all those who would refer to Shocking as a "grandma fragrance" - - your grandma is a whore. Please give me her number, I want her to be my wing woman. Honey dripping over everything: gardens, thighs, kitchen cabinets, up those damn stairs, all the way to boudoir. Why wear this in winter and hide it? In the summer heat it shines, corrupting all those around it as the sweetest air of ruin. (the older the vintage, the better - - ferment that skank!).

on rauque by robert greco:

A gloomy, greasy haired biker stands in front of an opening to a cave in a damp forest. He’s holding a bouquet of violets. He ushers you in and you sit together quietly on a leather couch listening to the sounds of the woodland. You notice some mushrooms and wonder whether you left the heating on at home.

on dark vinyl musk by bohoboco:

A group of people making out intensely, some wearing heavy lipstick. Saliva. Heat. In a church while doing lines of snow off the Bible. This sexual encounter so close to demonic possession. Charismata. Speaking in tongues. My husband says it smells like a sandwich shop. We are not the same.

on yesterday by room 1015:

smells like yesterday's ass.

on female christ by 19-69:

really fruity car and panties smell. like you just had sex in a dealership vehicle and are spraying something to cover it up. not really for me but i love the fantasy of it

ngl he be talking like this regularly too in conversation for no reason. he's always had the cadence and vocab of an unhinged, but deeply poignant perfume reviewer... i should compile a list of his poetic, but troubling and fun quotes...

#*･༓☾ about! a shimmer in the night. #/ if u dont have an account on fragrantica ur missing out. #/ musing blogs wish they had this kind of pizzazz and depth.

it's not very expensive even when it's full price, but 7 Days to End with You is on sale right now and if you like weird and delightful little things you might wanna check it out! at its core it is a puzzle game, but with a central mechanic I'd not really seen explored like this before. your character, like approximately 20% of all videogame characters, suffers from amnesia, but in your case it's a little more extreme than most. you cannot even understand the language of the world you find yourself in. you wake up in the house of a person who speaks in what to you is gibberish, unable to grasp a single word of it. In a sense it's a puzzle game with exactly one puzzle: figuring out what anyone is talking about.

how it goes about that is kind of fascinating. your companion will describe anything you click on and once you have seen any given word it will be entered into a sort of dictionary that you have the task of filling by hand, and the game will not tell you if you are right or wrong. there are some concessions to simplicity here, the grammar is very straightforward noun verb and adjective combos most of the time, think "red button use" rather than "you have to press the red button" which is probably a very sensible decision. your character also has a perfect memory; whenever a word appears you can select it to remember every single time you have heard or read it before, allowing you to make judgements based on contexts. one of the first places you will find is a kitchen with one large fire and another smaller one serving as a stove, a very simple setup that allows you to make an educated guess that if these two things share a word in their descriptions that word may well translate to "fire", and if the stove has one that the larger fire does not it might be related to the word "cooking".

this is how you piece things together in this game and if it sounds dry then i am doing it a disservice. there is something so compelling about finally cracking what the something means and realising that that one single word has made a dozen things fall into place. working your way up from simple nouns and adjectives gleaned from just pointing at anything you can see to intellectual concepts like "understand" or "failure" has this real sense of accomplishment and connection with your companion that feels very instinctive and human. i have played a lot of games with dialogue options, but when i finally had the vocab to be able to talk to this character i'd been bumbling around with for in-game days it felt far more genuine and sincere.

and there is a plot and it has twists and alternate endings and so on, it's very likely that by the end of your first seven days you will still have some questions to go back and find the words to ask. if you want a puzzle game that's a bit different, this one has a permanent spot on my rec list

Langblr reactivation challenge

{Week 1, day 3: Vocab mindmap}

The task is to create a mindmap that starts with a broader topic and then narrows it down. I'm too lazy right now to create an actual mindmap, though, so I've decided to make a list. This will be for both French 🇫🇷 and Vietnamese 🇻🇳.

House -> names of the different rooms

Kitchen -> kitchen furniture

Fridge -> foods

Foods -> colors, flavors

Obviously, this list could be expanded (e.g. for the other rooms in a house) but I think this will suffice for now.

Before I even talk about the chapter and what stuck out to me to connect a quote I must say seeing the list which this quote is from made me shocked.

“Women cannot: drive, be bishops, be trusted, speak in church 

Women should not: have rights, vote, work, box 

Women should: stay at home, be slaves, be in the kitchen, not speak in church 

Women need to: be put in their places, know their place, be controlled, be disciplined”

Seeing this just reminds me that this honestly still happens in this modern generation. 

After reading, my understanding is that search engines are affected by men’s opinions. Opinions being extremely sexual that you can't even search up something harmless like a certain demographic of women with it not being porn is extremely toxic. For our society, sex sells is a literal thing.

Vocab: 

Algorithms : Common examples include: the recipe for baking a cake, the method we use to solve a long division problem, the process of doing laundry, It's used to solve things

big data : A lot of data in a group

allegedly “neutral” or “objective” algorithms : Not google that's for sure~

unregulated Internet: Internet without any rules to stay safe

algorithmic oppression : An algorithm that chooses privilege

search as a mirror to human beliefs : whatever you view as right will be shown

Google search results : Biased

search is a symbiotic process : “Search is a symbiotic process that both informs and is informed in part by users. Halavais suggests that every user of a search engine should know how the system works, how information is collected, aggregated, and accessed”

black feminist perspective : “The impetus for my work comes from theorizing Internet search results from a Black feminist perspective; that is, I ask questions about the structure and results of web searches from the standpoint of a Black woman—a standpoint that drives me to ask different questions than have been previously posed about how Google Search works”

labortainment  : “when users consent to freely give away their labor and personal data for the use of Google and its products, resulting in incredible profit for the company”

paid advertising : To push a product you must pay for others to see it

legitimation of information : Fact checking is needed in our world today

AdWords: “Google’s advertising tool or optimization product is AdWords. AdWords allows anyone to advertise on Google’s search pages and is highly customizable

Search Engine Optimization:”They were clearly aware from the beginning of the potential for “gaming” the system by advertising companies or commercial interests, a legitimated process now known as “search engine optimization,” to drive ads or sites to the top of a results list for a query, since clicks on web links can be profitable, as are purchases gained by being vetted as “the best” by virtue of placement on the first page of PageRank. T”

Google Search as a public resource: Its free and the most used but its very biased unless the place of news is unbiased (hopefully) Cybertopia: Social media world but in real life
