#love that my body decided to incapacitate me the weekend before i have to read 5 different papers for classes #and it would b one thing to just read them but no for 3 of them i have to give detailed interpretation and 1 i have to present on #ive already failed to read one bc i forgot we had to do 2 papers for monday. oops. not that i could have done it anyway. i barely got 1 done #and im on track to fucking up the one due Tomorrow as well #im just fucking tired of reading fucking chemistry driven papers that i dont understand no matter how many times i read them #and everyones like oh itll get easier but no it fucking wont bc i cant fucking read right #its so fucking frustrating. why do i even bother? im so tried #i don't even have the paper im supposed to present on so ill have to do it all tomorrow. cool. great. not that i could do it today anyway #im just. this is gonna b a difficult week #and i misused my whole day by doing extractions bc i scheduled my training a week ago when i thought i would b fine over the weekend #nope. its fucking bullshit. this is y im like. y do i even want to b in academia? #how could i b a prof if i cant read well? its fine to b dyslexic as a math person but im like i have to read so much and so little gets thru #but then what the fuck else am i supposed to do? idk. im just gonna write down something for all these questions and go tf to sleep #ill get up at some horrible time in the morning to finish this. damn the consequences. ill see my therapist tomorrow anyway #and meet with my advisor like 🤪 yo guess what i made zero progress this week #sorry u got stuck with me while im going thru a year of fucking health problems #but whatever cant get rid of me now im already here. here and tired and i wanna go to bed #unrelated

[toastsnaffler]

this assay is so fucking fake......

#same one ive been working on for like 3 months. every other assay ive trained on took me a couple goes to get but ive done this one ~45x #and i keep getting 2 good runs and then 1 fail. which SUCKS bc i need 3 passes in a row to sign off on it #and its so sensitive that changing even tiny things like using a different brand same volume beaker. or a 0.5cm longer flea #anyway i had another 2 good runs this week so this was my 3rd but bc its a friday afternoon im tired as fuck and keep making dumb mistakes #like overstirring it + one of my samples leaked which is soooo embarrassing bc ive already had to ask for more before bc its taken me- #almost 50 fucking attempts already #anyway. hour and a half into prep and im at the most crucial time sensitive part which is pipetting thr enzyme into the substrate #and i manage to do it all w even time spacing (u have to replicate the exact same pace at the end of the timer or it doesnt work) #and then realise id picked up a different identical model pipette that was set to half the volume i was meant to put in FUUUUCK #by that point i was like fuck it im almost 2 hours in and nothing else to do the rest of the day. so ill work around it + see what happens #i figured well its half the volume. so if i add the same half volume again at the 5 minute mark and leave it for 12.5 instead of 10 mins #then itll hydrolyse the substrate to the same degree. IN THEORY in practice this stuff never works bc of error margins etc #bearing in mind this js like 30 seconds of thought bc it took me a couple mins to realise what i did #but the thing abt working in a lab is u make these split second decisions constantly bc everything is so time sensitive #so u have to be quick thinking on ur feet #anyway long story short got to the end of the 3 hour process. which i was carrying out v sloppily bc the chances of it working were- #slim by that point lmao. but lo and behold it was completely fucking fine. all cvs less than 5% and averages <5% of spec #which is awesome bc it means after THREE MONTHS and like. 45x3 whats that AT LEAST 135 HOURS OF FOCUSED TIME ON IT #not counting attempts i gave up on halfway thru bc id alreaady fucked them up bad #i can FINALLY sign off on it lmfao. but im just so mad like why does it play these mind games with me. it shouldnt have worked #whatever chemistry is such a fickle stupid science. anyway wahoo weekend time baby #gorgeous weather here + im gonna get pizza on the way home...... maybe life doesnt suck sometimes 😇 #mutuals if ur still at work stay strong soldiers #.diaries

#uploads #fashion #having very / like was hyped to have a whole house to my self for a while while im house sitting at my dads #but also havent been back to my apartment in a week now and im getting so restless #not being in a city is like....i cant just walk to the grocery store im going insane #stressing cause everyone trying to hit me up while im here too cause its close to my family n stuff but like im tired #hada huge weekend n havent had a chance to recharge yet im so sleepy #spent all day with my sister yesterday have to find time to see my mom and my grandma and friends all in between working battery is on Low #feeling very at peace on my overnights when im the only one awake #spent all night knitting last night im so close to being done the sweater im working on #or at least the knitting part and then when i get home im gonna do the dying and weaving for the collar and other trims #plus the wool i ordered for the next sweater i wanna make just got to my apartment today so itll be there when i get back <3 #gonna try a smaller needle size and doing like a ribbed pattern i think #its really nice fine alpaca wool im very excited to feel it <3

this is going to be fun to come back to in a week & try to figure out what the fuck i was doing

#i have at least 3 colors left to add to the hair before its done #so itll be fun trying to keep the direction of everything #work week is fucked this week so idk if i'll get back to it before next weekend #why did i choose the hiimagu girl with the most hair. whats wrong with me. #<- did not want to color white hair #i think she has more hair than ashura but its very close. its thicker for sure but. hm. both of them are ridiculously long #also i underestimated this canvas size. usully i use like a 3. something brush size to detail hair but im using 8.3 for this

2023 recap + 2024 plans

i wrote 261,200 words in 2023; 172,500 of those for Whispers, 88,700 for Goddess-Touched!

i read 16 books to completion, beta'd for an additional 2, am currently reading 3, and got partway through 5 others before having to put them down.

i maintained my streaming schedule with only a handful of emergency-related exceptions, and drew, uh, a shit ton over the course of the year!

writing goals for 2024:

fix Echoseers (full stylistic rewrite, along with some plot tweaks)

finish the first draft of Goddess-Touched (and edit it hardcore as well)

work on as-yet-unnamed book 4 of tms

fix up Whispers with the added feedback of beta readers

start querying Whispers (i'll look into self publishing down the road if i don't end up finding an agent. the way my brain functions i must cling to the hope of not having to market it myself tooth and nail for the time being)

POTENTIALLY. if my brain fixates on it. write the script for The Lost so that i actually have something to work with to make the comic happen

one of my offline friends is starting to get into writing, and im hoping to help them through some of the early rough patches and potentially co-write a thing with them!!

i completely dropped the ball on the weekly writing updates so im gonna try and get back to that on wednesday. and potentially get back into the weekly ask games!

non-writing goals for 2024:

youtube. i want to make speedpaints and worldbuilding videos and shit. ive already made the basic animation stuff to have a lil sona to do the gesturing for me and i know how to make videos i just havent done it in a While

twitch!! i want to stream a bit more often because its fun and if i let myself branch out into video games as well as art itll be easier to do that. u might see me streaming in the evenings sometime soon. (psst im not streaming this weekend as im still doing a shit ton of holiday/social stuff but the weekend of the 13th ill be back to both patreon and twitch baybee)

SPEAKING OF i want to get my shit together enough to do like. monthly short story releases for my patrons/ko-fi members. early access, that is, so if i post one in january, it'll be posted here a month or two later for all to see/read

i want to read as many books as i did in 2023, if not more! im also considering adding book reviews/thoughts to youtube or patreon/ko-fi perks

my weekend hiatuses aren't going anywhere. having time where im not actively engaging with tumblr + don't feel obligated to do Anything online has done wonders for my mental health and i highly recommend it. focus mode on my phone and leechblock on desktop has helped so so so much

and that's all i'm sharing here!! i hope 2024 is a better year for all than the last <3

UPDATE TIME!!!

moving back into college this weekend (wooo) so sorry abt my lack of activity here :(

but, lets get into the statuses of the fics

Allow Me- so this one is probably the most popular one atm (thank you guys again for all of the love)! the beginning of ch 11 is done and so is the tail end of it, I mainly need to work on the middle. But after tis chapter it'll pick up big time (calling back to the post I made abt using the vader comics :)) I have most of those scenes already written so updates with allow me should be a bit better once ch 11 comes out

2. Enigma- Ahhh, my longest fic to date. I have so much love for this mf, Ik allow me is more popular, but something abt this one just really hooks me and idk why lol. But I am almost finished with the first part of a two part chapter: anakin's birthday and "alive" day celebration (if u read the fic, you'll know what I mean by alive day lol). Like i've said before I have this story planned to a "T", but its finding the time to sit down and flesh it out thats tricky.

3. Unconditionally- One of my favorite children, returned from the graveyard! I always said i wanted to do an epilogue and an epilogue I have been writing hehe. It's gonna be a two parter (there's so much I wanna say in this universe). I am almost done with part one which will be mostly catching the reader up on what y/n and ani have been doing for the past 10 years :) then the second part will explore more present matters.

4. Linecook/roommate ask- I went a lil crazy w this one (4000+ words) but I am very pleased with how it turned out. Itll prob b the next thing I post. I'm not sure if its a series or a one shot, once you guys read it, just lmk what you want from it :)

Thank you all for sticking around my crazy schedule and random uploads, love u all :)

#darth vader x reader #sw darth vader #darth vader fic #vader #star wars x reader #anakin x you #anakin x reader #anakin #darth vader #star wars #answered asks #allow me #unconditionally #linecook anakin #line cook anakin #roommate anakin #enigma #enigma fic #i love u #update

TLT UPDATE!! BEFORE I GO TO BED

(gods im so tired...)

@vincentaureliuslin @tatsumisheep3

no photos today so heres my cat :P

OPENING NIGHT!!! it went super well!!!!! (i think)

it was PA night so the understudys were percy and annabeth and they killed it!!!!!! :DDDD

also my director gave me a compliment today so im in a good mood (it was somethin along the lines of "you finally did a good job as cerberus" but ill take what i can get...) (i still have beef with him but.. whatever....)

its crazy how fast this show is going and that itll all be over after sunday,, but also i am SO tired bc we literally spend more time at school than at home this week :(

also getting a lotta acne bc im not used to wearing this much make up every day :P

but hey at least ill get to rest a teeny bit on the weekend (just in the morning TwT bc we have matinees)

also my parents and some of my friends are comin tomorrow so they BETTER FUCKIN BUY ME CANDY (i really really really want candygrams... one of the stage managers got like 4 boxes of candy i am so jealous...)

also also also we did the legacy robe last night before preview night and my friend (and mother /ij) got it :DDDD very happy for her

um um um i felt like i had more to say but idk this is already a lot and i cant remember things im kinda tired :P

oh i finally got my camper necklace!!! the beads were missing for like a week but they were just on the table in the costuming room... anyway my friend made it for me during tech class bc shes so so sooo sweet <3 (while i was in math trying to force my friend to study... *stares at neeks* /aff) i got four beads that kinda almost make the ace flag!! (black for tech, silver for the fall play, light blue for this show, and purple for my grade)

idk if i explained it before but all of our necklaces represent how much theater we've done,,, bc its kinda like how long we've been at camp. theres a bead for each grade based on our class colors, and the tlt bead, so everyone gets at least 2. theres also beads for each of the past musicals and plays at school, and a black bead if youve done tech, and a white bead if youve done leadership :D some of the seniors have like most of their necklace filled because of how many shows theyve done

heres another cat pic to keep you engaged and reading this /hj

also also also many many thanks to my wonderful actor and tech friends i would not survive without them (especially thanks to tech bc they have to put up with us actors... /hj) its poseidon's actors first show i think and they have a LOT of quick changes so their section of the rack is,,, kind of a mess. also the lamp for the oracle scene has broken multiple times i think already... and i already left my make up bag out yesterday and my watch in the cubbies today TwT we are a hot mess

my graphic design teacher was acting today :D (the farmer in drive is a teacher role, and they switch out every night) and i love him being so absolutely perplexed by the energy circle before show :333

also i remembered to put setting powder on for the first time,,, and... i forgot that my mom is SO much paler than me TwT (i was very washed out...) so ill probably stick to spray for the rest of the week :P

sorry i really am rambling tonight...

ok i will probably hopefully do at least one more update after strike on sunday!! (depending on how tired i am,, i might just curl up on the floor and sleep after the sunday show actually...) unless something goes horribly wrong,,, then ill probably post about it too

good night!! i need to collapse in bed and try to save up enough energy for tomorrows show :3

have a wonderful day/night and remember to hydrate! (or you'll die straight...)

hiii i just wanted to let you know that i binged all three of your eclipse fics this past weekand i'm obsessed with your writing style!! i love the way you write akk and aye's relationship, and the way you describe things. just the past few nights alone i've had such a nice time reading through on our way up and each chapter was so lovely! i've been reading each chapter as my little bedtime story treats every night, i love that they all end on hopeful/nice notes so i can go to sleep with warm fuzzy feelings haha. thank you for your writing, it is so appreciated!! what a lovely escape it was to have this weekend. i absolutely can't wait for the next one! <3 (i know you said you had 9ish chapters planned out, but tbh i'd read a hundred of these little slices of life fics with akkaye from you haha!) have a lovely day! xx

ah, nonny, hi, i totally didn’t shed any real tears over this ask. none of those. nope couldn’t be me

i’m so so glad you’ve been enjoying my akkayes,,, the concept of oowu as a bedtime story is so. 🥺 that’s so lovely!!! its comforting to write & meant to be comforting to read & i’m just so. hehe. its working :’) i’m so glad

ive been a little distracted by photoshop this week but i do have work done on oowu6 (about 2k of it right now) so. itll be a longer delay probably but i still am writing! no worries. i have very important agenda items to cover still okay they have to get softer

aghhh thank you so much, im so happy 💜

anyways, super excited for the burrow!reader fic/blurb!! whens the estimated time itll come out?

Not sure! I’m hoping soon babes!

I’ve had a headache for two weeks and finally went to the doctor today and the medicine seems to be helping slightly so I’m gonna try and get it done tonight. If not, it’ll be this weekend sometime.

I’ve missed the last 3 days of work and will be (hopefully) returning tomorrow so it definitely won’t be tomorrow morning or afternoon.

[agirlattea]

you have wonderful translation work here, and im really looking forward to reading the first part of the 3rd anniv over the weekend now!! i cant thank you enough :D

also since your bio says "any constructive criticism appreciated," i wanted to suggest using a read-more for your longer posts! itll help people navigate your blog easier + make it easier for reblogs in general. when making a post you can add a read-more through the command ctrl+shift+k.

anyways, i just wanted to thank you once again and i look forward to seeing more of your translations <3

I’m really glad you liked it! I’m new to tumblr so I didn’t know that you could add something like that, but I’ll go back and fix that soon, so thank you for letting me know! I’m about halfway done with part 2 of 3rd Anniversary, so you can look forward to that :)

It was a good day. I am excited for tomorrow. But today was a pretty good day.

I slept alright last night. I didn't toss and turn as much. Apparently when James left I told them I loved them so much and gave them a hug but I have absolutely no memory of this. I was asleep asleep. I woke up about a half hour later and was in a good mood.

I made the bed and got dressed. My hair was very dry today. And I would decide it should be dyed again. So that's how I ended the day. But I knew today was just going to be a cleaning day so I wasn't to concerned with how I looked.

I made a little sandwich and grabbed my things and headed to the museum.

It was a fun day. I would chat with my coworkers. But pretty quickly we would all get to work on our projects. I jumped right into tag making because it would literally take the next 3 and a half hours to complete.

I had my audio book and it's a really good book but man is it sad. Jennette McCurdy really performs the book and it's just. Gutting at times. I still have a little less then half of the book left. But I am glad I got to spend so much time listening to it while I worked today.

I would chat with Jessica and Becca and Kristen throughout different points of the morning. But mostly I was just assembling.

First I glued all the sides of the name tags together. Then trimmed them all. And when I say all there are 80 of them. So this was all a long process.

I would cut the strings for all of them so the kids can wear them. Then I went to use the laminator and laminated all of the tags. This went okay. I struggled with how big the laminated sheet was. But Jessica helped me move the table away from the wall so the sheet could fall to the floor.

It would take a while to cut everything out. I had some trouble with the scissors and had to go search for another pair. Becca would come and join me in cutting things out. And once we were done that we went down to the lunch room to use the grommet machine for the next step of the tag making.

I had mostly good luck with this machine. I sat on the ground and just knocked them out. Two on every card. 160 grommets. My arms were really tired and it took over an hour but I did it!

And I was ready to go. I swept up all the paper on the ground from doing the grommets. And then said goodbye to everyone.

I stopped in to say hi to James. Gave them a box of my art I found I in the back. And then headed out.

I went to Target and Harris teeter to get fancy flower for James and a few other things. I got two more molecars. And they are so cute. Though we did get a cop.

I went to five guys to have a late lunch. Which is where I discovered that the queen died. I discovered this because of the crab dance gif. Which is the funniest way I could find out.

My parents were not thrilled with me making jokes. But like. I get it. She was a person. With a family. I'm sure on a personal level she was lovely. But I have a lot of feelings about what she did and did not do as a monarch. And that she continued the monarchy at all. It's gross to me. The ostentatious nature of wealth and just the nature of royals? Gross. How many countries the UK colonized since she was made queen? Dozens. So if I want to make fun, I will.

Thankfully Jess and James were on bored with the jokes and had even more for me. So we had a lot of fun for a bit there just being ghouls.

I came home, taking the long way. I like driving past Patterson park. And when I got home I got to work putting things away. I double checked my bags for this weekend. And painted my nails. I was feeling pretty good.

Mr Will came over and continued to mess with the kitchen. I told him how poorly the caulk did. And he was like ah yeah that's bad. Then did basically did the same this on the other side. Didn't even lift the counter to put it back because 'itll just fall down again'. I told him it's going to break again. And he said he'll remove all the counters and redo them if that happens. It will happen so I don't know why we are doing this first but whatever.

James got home a little after that. We had some packages. I got a new vintage western style shirt I'm going to wear tomorrow. James got a mic for their podcast. We would spend the evening packing and making sure we have everything we need for our trip. I'm excited.

I spent some time making a hair bow to wear this weekend that had a bridal style. I meant to buy something but never got around to it. I sewed little heart bows on the fabric and I think it's so cute. The first clip I used though broke and got stuck in my hair and I was very upset. James had to stop cooking the food they were making for this weekend, to save me. My hero. But I am very happy with the fixed bow and am excited to wear it.

I dyed my hair like I said I was going to. I mixed the brown glaze with green and blue to get a nice muted denim navy color. I hope it shows well in the light. And while it set in my hair I did my eyebrows for the first time in forever. And once I was done that I thought it would be fun to play with my makeup ideas for the wedding. Dramatic. And then I kept playing and drawing on my face to wind Jess up talking about how subtle it is. Was just being really silly.

I washed my hair. Got the water as clear as I could. And once my hair was conditioned I took a long bath.

I kept saying I was taking an 'everything bath'. I dyed my hair, washed my hair, did my eyebrows, did a face mask, exfoliated, shaved, just did everything. Then all the lotions and oils. Just really doing the most.

And I felt really nice after. I came to bed and me and James have been cuddling here since. I am in a good mood.

And tomorrow is our Bach weekend! Our mixed bachelorette and bachelor trip to the Poconos. It's a good little group of us, not our entire wedding party, but some and some other friends of James's. I'm excited to go on a long drive and I'm excited to go to see some nature. And it's going to be such a nice weekend. I'm sure of it.

I am going to get ready to sleep now. I hope you all have a great night. Take care of each other. Keep sending good vibes to my parents, they need the love. Goodnight!

March 18 - 2024 Monday

11:02pm

6.5/10

This morning, partly agitated by having to wait for my hot water, I didn't do much cleaning. I just waited until I had enough to shower. It had to be another quick one. For breakfast I made a grilled cheese and soup in the box. I did a little reading on the subject of ACT Therapy thought defusion since thats what monday is about so I intended to keep it in mind today. I also watched a Minecraft stream.

During work I warmed up with more torso/leg studies. Then I worked on the Venus comic commission for the 2 hours. We watched pretty good episodes of Uncle Grandpa and Ed. Quite a few people showed up today capping out at 10. Most weren't chatting though.

After work I did my 4 mile jog and situps. I watched a bit of the Chris Chan documentary during that since I'm trying to finish it. I'm on episode 77/85. Itll be a few weeks if I only watch it while I work out. I took another quick shower and then made rice stir fry again for lunch. This time I tried it with chicken stock and canned chicken and it was great. I have a new meal to add to my chef portfolio. While cooking and eating I joined BR's server and watched hoarders with them. I left to do my afternoon work.

I had Twitch on the side while I did today's request and finished a drawing of Adora. While working on PL's VRchat world, I tried hanging out in DV's server but they were just playing Helldivers so all I got was game chatter. When I was done working I left to chill for a bit with a stream. DS wanted to Just Dance so we did that and I think I did pretty good today. She picked songs that I was bad at in the past but I think I'm getting the hang of figuring out what kind of movements the game wants.

Afterwards I had to get ready for my late therapy appointment which was cancelled because he didn't account for daylight savings time since he's in Australia so I sort of wasted 30 minutes. After that I waited for DS to get in bed. We did our puzzles, read 2 Melody and 1 Frankie chapter from the Monster High book, and I played Kingdom Hearts. We talked about body shaming and how bad of an impact media like Monster High can have on young and impressionable people.

Today was normal. I tried to maintain a connection to my art throughout work and mostly succeeded. I try to remember that the things I choose to do serve an important purpose which is what makes them bearable if I can keep in touch with that sentiment. In the afternoon I started feeling sort of lonely? Or moreso just bleh, not a good feeling. I made plans with JR this weekend to either go on a hike or go to the Hungry Bear so that'll be good for me. I had looked forward to playing the My Little Pony game more today but didn't find the time.
