Organization Tip

Manageable Chaos & Maintainable Entropy

There was a point when no matter how many times I organize and and declutter and deep clean my room, it would just go back to being messy. It was a cycle of perfectly organized and unbearably chaotic with no in-between. That's when I found this idea, borrowing some Physics concepts (for I am a Physicist, through and through)

The key is finding the balance between:

Maintainable entropy: No matter how neat and perfectly organized you set your desk/room up, it always gets a little messy in 2-3 days. When you use your space, when you work with your things, it is bound to get disordered. And that's your maintainable entropy (a.k.a measure of disorder). You don't have to keep your space perfectly organized, just maintain it at this level of entropy. It's unrealistic to live in a room and maintain it like nobody touches anything. So embrace the entropy!

Manageable chaos: This is the maximum level of 'mess' that you can work with. How messy can your room get before it affects your mood or productivity. This is often less than the level where you can't even sit/sleep in your room without nudging away things - that's beyond your workable level. That is your manageable chaos. So find that level and when you seem to cross it, organize your room immediately. If it's within your level, and you have time, organize; if you don't have time, just maintain at that level and organize as soon as you get time.

When you try to keep everything pristine and perfect, you get too tired. And that's when the mess builds up and chaos reigns!

Perfection is the enemy of done.

So if you maintain your room in the maintainable entropy level, and keep it under your manageable level of chaos - your room will be consistently organized and neat! 🌻

From Mali to Sudan, the Wagner Group benefits from a lucrative combination: political instability, abundant natural resources and low-intensity armed opposition.

Things that cannot defeat the TARDIS...

Being jettisoned into the Z-Neutrino energy core of the Dalek Crucible.

Being turned into a self cannibalising paradox machine by The Master.

Being shunted into a human body while it's own body gets possessed by a sentient TARDIS devouring asteroid.

Things that can defeat the TARDIS...

Prompt 212

“Did we just pull an Isekai?” 

“I mean, does it count if it’s practically just Ghostwriter’s usual shit, just more chaotic?” 

“Sam, this is like a game, look, we even have inventory overlays!” 

“Yeah but Tuck, I died so therefor I pulled an isekai, right?” 

“Shit, why does that make sense?” 

“Boys, perhaps actually look into your overlay there? Perhaps look at the map as well?” 

“... oh my Ancients, guys, we’re not the players, we’re going to be the bosses of this game.”

. . . 

“This is going to be so much fun guys.”

The Outlaw's Spirit

After a reveal gone wrong, whether intentional or not, Danny books it. Sam and Tucker have to stay behind in Amity to prevent Maddie, Jack, and the GIW from following their best friend. The trio is 16~17 or so at this point.

Jazz, being the best big sis that she is, has been taking college classes online to protect Danny. She helps the two destroy the Drs. Fenton lab before grabbing her go bag and getting out of there. She plans to start anew in a different city so that Danny can eventually join her. She's thinking Gotham, with the ambient ectoplasm, and high crime rates, it'll feel more like home than Star City, or Metropolis.

Danny, meanwhile, keeps running. He comes across a high-tech jet and hides in it, pulling a stowaway.

This jet is a Batplane, but is currently being used by The Outlaws for a mission.

Danny's ghost sense has no idea about how to react to Jason, so it causes him to cough, revealing his location to the group.

"B." Artemis instructs Bizarro with his nickname.

Bizarro moves in slowly, while Jason pulls out his guns, and Artemis her sword. Bizarro opens wherever Danny is hiding, revealing his black hair and blue eyes of his human form. Seeing the shaking teen, B gently pulls him out and 'restrains' him via hug.

Danny is freaking out at the sight of these out-of-the-norm people, and his ghost sense is triggering a coughing fit, aggravating whatever wounds he may have.

"One of your brothers?" Artemis asks Jason, despite keeping her guard up.

"Not that I know. What are you doing in here, kid?" Jason lowes his guns, but doesn't holster them, wanting to keep them in hand in case this kid is an enemy.

Danny, coughing, takes a closer look at the three surrounding him.

"Red Hood? Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall? Bizarro? What? Huh?!"

"Worry, we hurt you." Bizarro says soothingly.

Tensing, Danny prepares to use his powers, but Artemis explains what Bizarro means before he does.

"What are you doing in here, kid? You're hurt." Jason reiterates before noticing just how the boy is breathing other than his coughing fits.

Feeling safer with these three than he had with his parents in a long time, and with them all not being entirely human themselves, Danny is willing to explain some things, but not everything.

"My parents, they're scientists, they found out that I'm not entirely human... I had to run. I saw this jet, and it was a chance for me to get further away from them before they track me down."

"They can track you?" Artemis asks while Bizarro releases Danny, setting the teen down on a bench. Jason pulls out a med kit and sets it down next to Danny.

Jason then gets the Batplane into the air while the other Outlaws get to know the stowaway more.

Jason's inner bat wants to do so much research that he resembles the Replacement more than himself, but more of him sees himself in the kid and, as much as he loathes to admit it, pull a Bruce to take care of the much-too-thin teen.

Setting the autopilot to Gotham, Jason re-joins the discussion, noting that the kid's coughs get worse the closer he gets. Odd.

Bizarro and the teen have bonded over video games and movies, even with Bizarro's speech mannerisms.

Artemis, on the other hand, is patching the boy up, not offering much to the conversation other than clearing some things up for B.

"Course's set for Gotham. Figure we'll want Alfie to get some proper food in ya. Now, can you explain all the coughing?" Jason plops down across from the teen, keeping some distance to not make the coughing worse if his hunch is right.

Danny explains in the broadest terms for his ghost sense, that it can tell when people have died, and that Red Hood didn't come back right.

Tense, Jason's vision bleeds into green as he questions, "How?"

"I can tell because I didn't come back right, either..." Danny then tries to explain ectoplasm as glowing green goo, causing Jason to tense even more.

"Lazarus Waters."

"What?"

Taking off his helmet, the lenses of Jason's domino are glowing, "Lazarus Waters. They threw me in mostly dead, and I came out mostly alive."

"That shouldn't..." Danny tilts his head, thinking of the lessons from Frostbite on the nature of ectoplasm and what happens when it gets corrupted. All part of his training for taking the throne. "Huh. Sounds like you got a batch of the more corrupted stuff. With pure ectoplasm, it would bring you back fully, with few side effects."

"Ectoplasm?" Bizarro asks from Danny's right.

Explaining in more detail, since Red Hood is some sort of subject of his and needs help, time passes and soon the autopilot is landing the jet.

"Come on, kid. Let's get some food in you, then we can see what to do about the Lazarus Waters." Jason puts a hand on the door to the Batplane, opening it to reveal the Batcave.

Just something that was floating around in my head. Not sure if I'll continue it, it's unlikely.

And here we have an electrik gym leader in his natural environment, he spotted an unknown machine that sparkled his interest ! Little did he now a predator was near, ready to act...

He got dragged away (rip jacket). No machine tinkering for today !

Doodled an alt version undercut about Luxray trying to drag him by his chain instead (+me rambling about Volkner and Luxray)

I love them so much-

Luxray is rather stubborn and prideful ! Volkner knows that very well, he's used to it at this point XD I don't think incidents like this ever lead to fights, they are too close by now, but I could imagine that maybe at first they had their moment haha ! But who could ever stay mad at such a beautiful big cat ?

Funny headcanon would be that Luxray has a somewhat good sense of style, so he can and will judge people's style. Good thing Volkner has a cool style ! Too bad Luxray's sharp claws and teeth may cause damage to those nice looking clothes. But hey, that's what having a cat is ! We love our cats even when they destroy all our possession.

Wdym Luxray is not a cat-

Saving Daylight

Dpxdc I'd like to explore some Civilian drama. Secrets are secret for a bit more and They've all got more stakes and sacrifices because their civilian lives are a bit more significant to them.

Dani/Damian, Jazz/Jason,

5-year-old Danny, single mom Jazz, Dan raises Dani, Dan and Jazz are siblings? At least legally, I'll see how it goes as I write.

Part 1: idk how to start things in a dc civilian setting, as my first attempt at this approach hopefully it's not too rough.

Part 2

Damian didn't have much of a civilian life. All his friends were heroes too so there wasn't much point in it beyond collaborating the alibis of his relatives. And the whole legality thing.

Which is to say he was not the most social or friendly of his classmates at Gotham Academy. When a girl, Danica V. Nightingale illegitimate daughter of Vladimir Masters currently lives with her custodial parent Dante Nightingale and her cousins Jasmine and Danny Fenton, tossed a folded up piece of paper on his desk he wasn't expecting it, or did he really care what it said. But as she was getting scolded by the teacher he unfolded it anyway.

Do you love me? Do you want to be my friend? And if you do then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, I think this is how love goes. Check Yes or No.

The teacher took the note and tossdd it into the trash as he grabbed Miss Nightingale. She glanced at him as she was dragged out of the classroom. Her gray blue eyes gleaming with humor, her lips twisted into a smirk and her eyebrow raised. Taunting him? Questioning?

Was this some kind of civilian challenge? To what end? To hold hands? Damian wasn't sure what the point of it all was.

If he did hold her hand occasionally would he understand the strange significance they all put on their civilian lives?

-

Jason was nervous. He'd asked a woman on a date. She is waitress at a small cafe he went to sometimes with his lieutenants. He thought she'd turn him down. The guys were expecting it to. She checked him out and accepted.

Now he was standing in front of an apartment, listening to her, Jazz, talk inside.

"Be nice for Uncle Dante," she said. "I'll be back after you go to bed, remember to brush your teeth-"

"Ma, you know this won't matter. You'll open the door and he's gonna see me and run away."

"Danny-"

"No, it's true. I ruin everything for you."

Jason knocked on the door. Jazz opened it, and he saw a pouty faced kid on the entry step.

A single mother, in her early twenties, with a kid of four or five years old.

Jason made a split second decision, and glanced at Jazz before he held his hand out for the kid to shake.

"I'm Jason," he said. "Would you like to come with us to the movies?"

The wide-eyed surprise on the kid's face, and the awed smile on Jazz's assured him this was a good idea.

Got busy this weekend and couldnt draw much so today I did this silly thing :3

Something sweet about the Prototype qwq I find it endearing those two would get so happy when the prototype is near while other toys would feel intimidated by them XD I will make more silly doodles about why Zero thinks so high of the Prototype in the future :D

Au by @asamary You should check their stuff :D!

Also Zero chirps when they are very happy (The only one who got to hear them is 1006 till now, Zero is a bit embarrased because he cannot control it but with 1006 he lowers his guard but also acts childish around him too HAHA)

#poppy playtime #catnap #sweet home au #poppy playtime sweet home #prototype #poppy playtime 1006 #oc Zero Signal #poppy playtime oc #my art #I wanna put on a comic how zero little by little they managed and healed about their fear of other people and stopped being extremely #dependant of the prototype. like imagine he made chaos is hospitals or any other place cuz he would wake up from nigthmares of being back #and wouldnt be able to differenciate reality from the nightmare and would stop only by shutting himself in a room/closet or the prototype #assured him its okay then while healing the prototype made catnap one of his most loyal followers to met zero since he is very calm and #chill but funnily enough i like to think catnap just went. “im their favorite” and started picking a fight in wich zero got frustrate and #they ended up fighting and making zero come out of his shell a bit (the prototype totally knew it would help probably HAHA) #and catnap being unable to use the gas because kaboom with electricity HAHAH #in the end both got scolded zero should know better cuz oldest of the two and catnap for picking a fight HJAHA #also zero calls him my lord in a non religious way but more in like how a servant would call a duke or nobility kings etc #the prototype collecting kids with trauma like pokemon card
