#ugh this pic will be bothering me for awhile
Note
art asks 4-9
4. favorite thing to draw
i'm always out here drawing some Fave themself with an Expression, so evidently [expressive faces] would have to be it i suppose lol....within that, naturally eyes are fun but that can also kind of be kinda a trial sometimes like uh oh gotta get this right & really hone it. whereas i think after that i'm always using the Mouth for a lot of expression too, and there's also less pressure there as it were lol / i have fun with the like shape flexibility and lips & teeth are just details to have a good time with
5. least favorite thing to draw
me and a zillion other people across space and time like Ugh hands and/or feet....the eternal challenge can be kind of fun to wrangle in ways and it's easy for it to be worth bothering to include hands because of what all can Else can be included when that happens, but for god's sake lmao
6. warm colors or cold colors
things that make me remember like oh right i guess the like electric blues / ceruleans i love are technically cold, right. it's so Vivacious i forget it isn't warm lol, it's clearly bright/saturated colors time around here as the main thing....but i'm also pretty specific about that blue vs using Other blues nearly as much, whereas i'm more flexible when it comes to like, warmer purples, pink, breaking into some orange, maybe yellow bgs or highlights even....but it's so difficult to say lmao coz i wouldn't give up that fave blue ever. i also enjoy a good green but absolutely almost never use it lol and i feel i lean to the warmer side there lol, definitely some cool green i like, the Blue that's my fave is certainly more towards green than True Blue or whatever, but a more yellow green is v fun to me....so it's tricky lol like that particular blue & my favoring it / frequent use of it can't be denied, but other than that, it's immediately all these warm colors. this is sure a pretty straightforward question lmao, and yet
7. show us a WIP
immediately get an F in answering this question b/c this isn't a wip but just some quick sketches that sometimes unfold from like. well i feel like drawing but i'm absolutely Not actually going to end up w/anything fancy so i'm just goofin around
Tumblr media
and here's an actual wip that i strategically walked away from for awhile in the hopes of a later Fresh Take in what edits should be made or if i should just start from scratch a third time if anything (looking at it now i think hopefully the former lol) with the concept of "i think winston should be comfy & cozy in bed"
Tumblr media
(tayston pic is a wilft(a), wip i'd like to finish tonight (ambitiously))
8. what’s the most fun and the least fun parts about your process
hmm i can usually have a great time w/like, little details, like at any given point it's just the nature of my style like oh boy time for this one swoopy line, that's fun. or like here's lines below eyes, highlights in the eyes, here's a lil show of gumline above the teeth, enjoy throwing around the trademark Z/N scribbles, stuff that's reliably generally not that difficult to execute but i think is a rewarding/enhancing Detail....on the flipside it can be like ruh roh the curse of the Geometry and feeling the need to get it just right as per my own sensibilities when the effect wouldn't really be changed for anyone else, like "oh yep spent like forty minutes here repeatedly erasing & redrawing the tail of this speech bubble" then "tfw another half hour repeatedly erasing & redrawing these tiny radiating lines segments" lol it's not like necessarily a Torment but. also sometimes when i try for colors that aren't just monochrome / stylized it can be like wuh oh. not great at that lol and can get into trouble there like, well let's see if enough overlays can save my life
9. show us a finished piece right alongside the original sketch
Tumblr media Tumblr media
think we're all having formatting difficulties w/putting images side by side so it's Sequential Only i guess lol. turns out it's wild how many older drawings just have no sketch layer lol like i'd just get in on the lineart and never look back....whereas nowadays already nigh unthinkable lmfao like absolutely we start w/a sketch....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
huoughhh i was like ah jeez lmao i gotta post these, these sketches are so cute to me ;m;

SLEEPING CUDDLE BUGS YEHAAW (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)❤
Ok so, this is something I began awhile ago actually, with my Edge and Stretch boy with @me-and-my-gaster‘s Diz boi bc we be shipping, but I never got around to properly finish it.
And today I decided I wanted to finish it, but I just couldn’t get myself to work on it properly like I had planned to colour this and everything, which is prolly because there is too many things I am unhappy with here. So I just said screw it let’s just put some blacks and greys and some blush and call it a day xD 
Still, kinda happy with it, it’s cute even tho there are so many things that bothers me with it pft! But it will do, and also a version without Stretch because that boy be hogging the whole picture, since he can’t sleep normally for shit pft xD Edge looks so frikking small but it’s Diz and Stretch who are overly tall

Been shooting a lot for my vintage shop whenever there's sunshine, here's a couple of my recent favorite shots. Also I'm going to pretend like it's 2006 and I'm blogging on Livejournal, so more thoughts/pics behind the cut, a thing I'm always going to keep saying because LJ brain rot is a lifelong malady. (Got uh pretty personal here so, you know! Anyway.)
WEIRD week, weird brain, when the days start very noticeably getting shorter it takes me awhile to catch up. I've been doing a pretty reasonable amount of stuff lately, selling my old clothes from work and taking care of shop business, but I'm still feeling a little restless. Not sure there's a fix for it. I don't feel bad, but I'm wondering if it's like, you know I don't feel my skeleton either really - but it's in there. I'm carrying it around.
But it could be worse. This year started out so rough and everything is much better now than it was in the winter.
Tumblr media
Yesterday was very strange and still, I couldn't settle on making my brain do anything so I made my hands do things (which still didn't happen until late evening, really) and ended up coming up with five new tea blends, most of which are pretty good. I have a decent little stable of favorites now that I'd like to start selling in my shop.
My roommate came into the living room as I was fiddling around with a bunch of stuff spread out on the coffee table so I got to bewilder her by explaining that I was just de-stemming sea lavender. As one does. I love all my weird ingredients!! It's also very calming putting things in jars. So many jars. Full on apothecary vibes in our kitchen.
I had put together another couple ounces of a blend I made for a friend of mine (who liked it so much she said she thought I could really do it as a career!! is it a praise kink or is my brain just wired so incorrectly that my dopamine receptors pretty much only respond to outside validation?) because we were getting together tonight, BUT she just bailed like, ten minutes ago, which is fair because she's not feeling well but also catastrophic because I really needed some attention this evening. ("Haha.")
This is also especially annoying because I was going to wear my new (old deadstock 70s vintage) pinstripe pants. Ugh!
Tumblr media
I bought both of these pieces to sell and then realized this is my perfect outfit and thus both items must be kept. Now I just need friends to keep plans so I can wear things to places. (It's fine! We rescheduled to Tuesday! I'm just in a mood!)
One of things that most frustrates me as a human being is knowing that I'm bothered by something a person is doing while that person is probably not thinking about me at all. On that note, I haven't talked to my parents in several months.
I last spoke to my dad in April when I found out he's become a Facebook-indoctrinated antivaxxer; upon being confronted about it, he called me a sheep and then hung up on me. This followed the previous autumn in which he started posting weird conservative (actually anti-liberal) things on Facebook despite previously being fairly apolitical and never, to my knowledge, ever even fucking voting in his life. My mother just backed him up and whined about not wanting to see people talking about politics when I called my dad out on what he was saying and he ignored my questions.
My parents are people who I get along with as long as I don't actively think about the careless ways they have treated me in the past. Unfortunately I think the root of it is that they just don't care about me as much as I care about them. My mother will always prefer the company of, and side with, my father: she chose him, while she didn't have a choice with me. I've talked a lot about this with my psychiatrist, as well as with my therapist when I was seeing one this year, but it's just - you know, not a solvable problem. I know my dad isn't going to volunteer an apology because he doesn't think he's done anything wrong, and same for my mom. They have each other and I was an occasionally inconvenient accessory that they no longer really have to think about. At least I was an only child and I managed to do okay for myself despite indifferent parenting. (I guess? I've survived anyway! Love that for me, most of the time!)
I'm still not sure what I'm going to do for Christmas, and autumn's arrival has brought that question nearer than it felt in 95 degree sunshine. I think I was an okay kid, but at the end of the day I don't think that was ever really the point.
I'm so tired of always having to be the better person when it comes to the people who were supposed to raise me to be good.
(It always helped to write this stuff out before. Will it work this time? If I put the feelings into words on a screen maybe they won't be in me anymore! Abracadabra!)
(A man takes his sadness and throws it away but then he's still left with his hands, etc.)
Tumblr media
I mostly listen to music on YouTube because Adblock works there, and the algorithm really came for me this morning. With apologies to Nick Hornby, did I listen to Phoebe Bridgers because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to Phoebe Bridgers? (Oh just kidding, I love her, and her unerring aim for my bone deep melancholia.)
Today I miss, specifically, kissing. Not something I usually think about except in an abstract, other people doing it sort of way. But I'm feeling the absence of it. Sometimes it feels impossible to have what I want, though I know that's not true. It's not true at all! You hear that, brain?
Tumblr media
Klaus has had very relatable energy lately. Me too, cat. Me too.
I'm gonna say that's all I got for now. That's enough, isn't it? If you read this all, thank you for listening.

the boys forget your birthday- dating Grayson imagine.
NOTE: hope you guys like this, if you’re interested in a part two PLEASE let me know :) my requests are open. xo
Warnings: cursing, pg-13 smut nothing detailed.
“ughhhhh” an annoying buzzing sound wakes you up and you know even before you open your eyes that it’s coming from your phone
“hello?” you say still not having opened your eyes
“happy birthday y/n!”
“haha thank you mom. Though i would’ve liked to sleep in as a present”
“sleeping in on your birthday is overrated; there’s too much celebrating to do!” you smile at her optimism this early in the morning, but your mom had always been a morning person- a trait that was not passed to you. “so did i make the cut? was i the first person to wish you a happy birthday?”
“well seeing as how you woke me up, yes you were” you sit up and decide to be awake
“Get up and call Grayson, i’m sure he was waiting for you to call first so he wouldn't wake you up.”
“you’re probably right because he actually loves me.” you say jokingly
“oh honey, i love you too, he’s just nicer than i am. we still have plans this weekend to celebrate right?”
“absolutely mom, love you”
“love you too, honey. happy birthday”
“thank you, bye mom see u saturday”
Birthdays stopped meaning something to you a few years ago but your mom always loved birthdays and tried to make them special, you don't know why you stopped liking them, it was kind of something that just happened after awhile. you didn't dislike your birthday it just wasn't something you expected much from.
feeling awake you decide your mom was right and call Gray
“Good morning babe!” he answers slightly out of breath. You can tell by the way he’s breathing and the noise in the background that he was working out.
“Morning!” you give it a few seconds of silence before you realize he’s not going to say anything else and it’s technically your turn, plus, you called him. “well, uh, i just wanted to say good morning, i know you’re busy so i’ll let you go.”
“ ok baby, i’ll text you in a bit?” he said it like a question, you tried not to overthink that.
“yeah of course. i’ll be here”
“ok, love you. bye” and the call ends. “bye”
you try not to be disappointed because you’re the one that doesn't make your birthday a big deal but this was your first birthday while dating Gray. Last year when you and Gray and Ethan were all just friends they had a big party at their house and it was great. They had a cake and they didn’t push you into the center of attenion. It was just a good time with everyone; it was exactly what you could ask for. Gray and Ethan love birthdays so you were surprised he hadn't said anything. Your mom had invited both Gray and Ethan to her house for dinner this weekend for your family birthday celebration just this past weekend and they had both agreed to come.
your morning went by fast from showering and getting ready deciding on a cute outfit incase you decide to go out but it was secretly because you were hoping Gray did remember and you wouldn't have to change when you go out.
you decide to go out to the kitchen and see a ‘it is your birthday.” banner that you and your roommate always used when it was either of your birthdays because the office was always something you watched together. it made u smile and you snapped her a pic and captioned it with a heart so she knew you had seen it. she snapped u back almost immediately in her work uniform and a cheeky smile on her face captioned ‘check the microwave’. Chocolate chip pancakes, your favorite. you ate in glee and checked the time on your phone. it had been almost 2 hours since your phone call with Gray and he hadn't texted or anything. you swallowed your disappointment but decided to continue your morning like it was any other day. After a couple hours of watching tv and obsessively checking your phone you got a snap from Ethan and opened it. “come over when u get up and come hang out with me, Gray isn't here and I'm bored, plus i have something for you”. You smiled to yourself as you grabbed your keys and ran out the door.
your mind raced as you drove over there, maybe Gray did remember and he and Ethan were going to surprise you, or, at least, Ethan remembered. He was one of your best friends after all.
When you got there you went ahead and walked in, the boys would always give you shit whenever you knocked.
“E?” you yell in the unusually quiet house
“NO! FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? FOURTH?! I WAS SO CLOSE!”
you rolled your eyes and smiled, you knew exactly were that was coming from
“fortnite? why am i even surprised. did u even go to bed last night?”
“okay mom.” he replied and you mocked him and stuck out ur tongue back at him.
“your room is filthy” you say looking around at the laundry and water bottles literally everywhere
“ugh u sound like Grayson” he said laying back on his bed and u sat on the foot of it.
“yeah were is he anyway?” you asked, realizing that gray really wasn't there.
he shrugged his shoulders “he went to work out this morning and said something about meeting up with Bryant but other than that i have no idea.”
“hmm”
“i need to get out” he said sitting up before continuing “do u wanna go get lunch or something?”
“yeah sure that sounds really good, i haven't ate since this morning. April went all out and made pancakes” you said hoping he’d take a hint.
he didn't catch on “okay i’ll drive because u drive like a tiny old woman and i would like to get lunch before dinner.”
“choke” u said jokingly, squinting your eyes at him while he laughed back at you.
“before we go, you said u had something for me? did i forget something or..?” you were trying to play coy but once again Ethan didn't catch on.
“yeah actually-” he reached over and grabbed a yellow sweatshirt from the nightstand next to him “-gray said you accidentally left this here and if u came over, to give it to you because you would want it back.”.
you took it from him “oh, right, uhh thanks” you said a little let down.
“no big, lets go.” he said getting up and walking out.
lunch with ethan was nice, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. you guys did this pretty regularly. after your quick trip he decided he was going to take a nap before Gray got home. you considered staying there, maybe taking a nap in grays bed or something but you started to get upset. Ethan and Grayson were your best friends and neither of them remembered your birthday. Grayson was your boyfriend and he didn't remember. you decided to just go home and take a bath. you tried to get in a better mood but it didn't work, you were mad at yourself for being mad and you were mad at the boys for forgetting. your phone buzzed.
‘hey babe sorry we haven't talked much today, no real excuse just planning a shoot with Bryant for the new merch. maybe I can come over later ;)’ the text was sweet enough but it just left u disappointed. you decided not to answer for now and put in your earbuds and started to clean the apartment, for whatever reason, cleaning was distracting for you. and time consuming. by the time u had finished the sun was down and the stir fry you had made for dinner was done. your stomach was in knots and you decided not to eat but you texted your roommate that you had made dinner and it was in the fridge for her when she got off. you decided to sleep it off deciding that you just wanted the day to be over. it was a bit earlier than you usually went to bed but today that was fine with you.
April beelined her way straight to the fridge when she got home from work- not even bothering to warm up the stir fry before starting to eat. She was surprised that you had been home to make it in the first place. The apartment was silent when she got home so she assumed y/n was out with Grayson. She saw your yellow sweatshirt on the counter and decided to throw it on your bed for you because she knew it was the one that she liked to wear to bed because you always said it smelled like Grayson. when she got into your room she was shocked that you were in there asleep, not only that, but you were alone.
“Ape?” came a tired voice from a mound of blankets
“Hey birthday girl! sorry i didn't know you were home, i was just gonna leave out your sweatshirt for when you came home”
“ ’s okay” y/n said sleepily.
“why are u home? its only like 8:30 i figured you’d be out and stuff? Where’s Grayson? Did you guys get in a fight?”
“not really”
“not really?”
“he forgot”
“he forgot what?” her eyes widened in realization “HE FORGOT YOUR BIRTHDAY!?”
“yeah, can we just talk in the morning? i just want to go to bed. thank you for my pancakes” you yawned
“yeah in the morning”
“mkay” you said already falling back asleep
April walked out and closed the door “im gonna kill him” she said to no one in particular already pulling out her phone.
Grayson decided to head over to y/n’s. April had sent him a weird text telling him to come over because he had forgotten something. Y/n still hadn't texted him back from earlier but he assumed that she had just forgotten or maybe something had happened to her phone since April was the one telling him to come over.
A wave of nausea froze his chest whenever he walked into the apartment and saw the banner.
“oh fuck”
April was sitting at the counter on her laptop when he walked in “yep.” she replied cooly “she's asleep in case you were wondering”
“i knew- i knew i was forgetting something today. I thought maybe i had a training session this morning or that i had made plans with Bryant or something. i knew it. FUCK! DAMMIT!” he yelled, practically pulling out his hair. he couldn't forgive himself for this. his beautiful girlfriend had spent her birthday all alone because he had forgotten her birthday. he felt so awful he could cry.
“did u not just hear me say she was asleep?” april hissed then rolled her eyes and sighed, deciding to take pity on him because he looked genuinely sad.
“i’m not the one you need to explain to.” she said taking a kinder tone
he ran a hand through his hair and practically ran to her room
she was asleep just like April said, her hair almost entirely covering her face but Gray could tell she looked sad. Grayson wanted to evaporate, but mostly he wanted her to be in his arms, he wanted a whole do over on this day. another wave of nausea hit him when he saw that she wasn't wearing his sweatshirt that she always wore to bed, she must be really mad at him, he felt the tears well up in his eyes and he walked over to the bed.
You woke up to someone lightly brushing your hair away from your face. You knew it was Grayson, it was something he did all the time to wake you up.
“Gray?”
“it’s me”
“hi”
“hi baby”
“it was my birthday today” you don't know why you decided to tell him, the day was almost over and it didn't really matter now, but you wanted him to know all the same. most of your anger had faded in your sleep just like you had hoped but you still felt a bit sad.
“i know baby” you could hear the sadness and guilt in his voice
“you do?” you yawned. “april,  she-“ he decided not to explain “y/n, i am so sorry i am so so sorry”. “its okay” you pulled him closer as he sat down on the bed, he was warm and he smelled good and you looked up at him and realized he was on the verge of crying.
“it’s not okay, i forgot . i just forgot?! how could i forget? it was your birthday. and you didn't wear the sweatshirt and i know you’re mad at me and I'm so- I'm so sorry”
you sat up and wiped Gray’s eyes “i was mad, i-i’m not anymore. I didn't not wear it on purpose, i was just tired. and now I'm freezing. Could you pass it to me?”
he hopped up quickly and passed it to you at watched you strip from your shirt and put the sweatshirt on and pull your hair back. it made him feel better, but only slightly.
“baby please come home with me, we can sleep in my bed and watch a movie. i could make us dinner or we could still go out? its only about 9:30 and this is LA things will be open for awhile!” he was rambling already grabbing for his phone. you walked over to him pulling him into a hug. he relaxed into you and rested his chin on your head “ i love you” he breathed just hoping you’d say it back. “i love you gray” you replied with no hesitation. He leaned back to look you in the eye and he kissed you gently and quickly “i’m so sorry”. “i know” you put your hand on the back of his neck and pulled him down to kiss you deepening it this time, you had missed him today. His hair was soft and his lips tasted like peppermint. you pulled him to the bed with you and he layed on his back and you rested your head on his chest like you always did. “let’s just sleep here tonight, we can think about the rest tomorrow.” he nodded and softly rubbed your back and kissed your forehead, you both fell asleep quickly.
the next day Grayson woke you up with a breakfast he made ‘all by himself’  to which April yelled from the kitchen ‘LIAR!’, “ignore her she’s slowly losing her mind, it’s really sad” he joked and you smiled back taking the plate, and he leaned down to kiss you which you happily returned. “Baby i just wanted-“ “Gray you don’t have to apologize again. i know you’re sorry i forgive you.” you said, and you meant it. You knew Grayson loved you, and you were a little embarrassed of how angry you had gotten even after claiming that you didn’t care about your birthday. He looked at you in such a loving way that it gave you butterflies you wished would stay forever. he sat on the bed and urged you to eat while the food was hot, you happily obliged. “i know that you don’t care about your birthday but i do, i love birthdays, you know me! And i love you i want you to have a great day everyday but your birthday is supposed to be special and i just- i fucked up. Even though u forgive me i did fuck up. and i want to fix it.”
you wanted to tell him that he didn't have to do anything but your mouth was full, you went to cover your mouth to speak anyway but you were interrupted “no talking with your mouth full you’ll choke. We’re doing this today, no excuses. you smiled and swallowed. “ok bossy what’s on the agenda first today, then?” he smiled at you but it quickly changed into a naughty lip bite and he wiggled his eyebrows and you felt your core begin to warm. “i was thinking-“ he paused to take your plate and put it on the nightstand behind him before climbing on all fours to hover above you, your faces almost touching. “-i could fuck you, right here until your toes curl and you lose your voice screaming my name” it was barely a whisper and your faces were almost touching. you forgot how to breathe. “Or-” he said rolling off of you, your throat immediately betraying you by softly whining. He laid on his back next to you, smiling and put it hands behind his head to look up at the ceiling “we could go mess with E and tell him what a bad friend he is for forgetting your birthday.”. You immediately climb on top of him, straddling him, stripping off the sweatshirt to bare your chest, catching him completely off guard. You smiled to yourself and leaned down to whisper in his ear “What would you rather do?”. You kissed down his jawline to his adams apple and looked up at his shocked face that immediately spread into your favorite smirk. He grabbed you flipped you over so he was back on top. 
There was no need for him to answer.

Bound: A TRR AU
Mireya has always known she was different. She just didn’t realize how much. Upon her 18th birthday she gets information that will forever change her life. The stuff of her nightmares is reality. The things that go bump in the night really do exist. It’s up to her and her family to fight these monsters. Her life will never be the same. What happens when she falls in love with one such being? Will she live up to her legacy or become what she hunts?

Chapter 2
7 Years Ago
Afternoon turned into evening. You started to get dressed for the party. You put on a pair of black skinny jeans and tight burgundy top that accentuated your cleavage. You left your hair down. You completed your look with the high heeled leather boots and your tight leather jacket. You didn't bother with purses putting a few essentials and your phone in your pocket. You also put the dagger your dad gave you in a special holster your dad had made for you. Hey you could never be too careful. As you were getting ready there was a knock at the door. “Come in.”
“Ugh….so unfair. Your sister whines throwing herself on your bed with a groan. “Let me guess…” you tell her with a smirk. “Dad said no didn't he?” “Yes.” she says with a pout. “It’s so unfair. You got to go out at my age.” She says glaring at you. “Well first off, it was to small parties, not to clubs and second I wasn't boycrazy and third, Alex and Josh were always there with me.” you tell her. “Ugh whatever” she tells you rolling her eyes. “It's Friday night, why don't you go see a movie or something?” you ask her. “Everyone has dates I’m stuck by myself today.” She tells you with a frown. Mom and dad says we are having a family night.” she says using air quotes. You laugh. “Hey it’s your turn. I hung out with them this afternoon.” You tell her. “Mireya!, Alex and Josh are here. You better get a move on!” your dad yells from upstairs. “Kay” you yell back. “Have fun tonight. Have a drink for me.” Your sister tells you with a smirk. “You roll your eyes. “Bye sis, enjoy your night at home.” She frowns throwing a pillow at your. Your run out the door before it can hit you.
“Happy birthday Reya” Alex and Josh tell you giving you a hug. “Thank you.” So you ready or what?” Alex asks eager to leave. “Yeah lets go.” You give your mom and dad a kiss and head out to the car. “So Reya where to?” “Have you guys eaten yet cuz I’m starving.” Josh laughs. “Reya, your always hungry.” “Shut up” you tell him. “Since when have you turned down food?” you ask him with a smirk. “True” he tells you with a grin. You head out to your favorite diner. “So clubbing huh??” You ask the boys while eating another french fry. You already know they like going there to meet girls. It's hard for them to meet and keep girlfriends. A lot of the girls would get jealous of your relationship with Alex and Josh. They did have relationships, but not many serious ones. You felt like a lot of it was your fault and you would try and distance yourself from Alex and Josh. They would always tell you that it wasn't your fault and if girls couldn't handle you in their lives, then they weren’t worth being with. When you were teenagers, you did have feelings for both of them. You did actually kiss them both once during a drunken game of truth or dare, but the romantic feelings weren't there. At least not for you. If they did have feelings for you, they never showed it. You were fine with that. You have had a few relationships throughout the years. You weren't a nun and the boys knew you dated, but they didn't know the full extent. They still thought you were a virgin. You found that funny. When you did lose your virginity, the guy broke your heart. You found out he was in a relationship already and you were the side piece. You confronted him and beat him up. You vowed to never again fall in love. Most of your hookups were handsome guys you met that were just passing through town. You knew you would never see them again. You preferred it that way. Less drama.
“Come on Reya” Like you don't want to meet some guys.” Alex says rolling his eyes. You grin at him. You finish your meals and head out to the club.
You walk into club Kismet and straight up to the bouncer. He smiles letting you in. You walk into the club and straight to the VIP section. You take a seat and pull out your fake id. You order a bottle of your favorite tequila. Josh pours shots for everyone. “To Reya, Happy Birthday here's to you getting laid” He tells you laughing. You choke on your drink. “Shut up Josh.” you tell him smacking your shoulder. “What your an adult now.” He tells you with a smirk. “My love life is none of your business.” You tell him before taking another shot. “Are we really gonna discuss this. I came here to party not talk about Reya’s love life.” Alex says rolling his eyes. You guys have another shot. You look over the balcony to the dancefloor below. Its packed. “Ready to mingle?” Alex asks you. You nod grinning at him. The three of you head for the dance floor. You dance with both of them for the first few songs, then split up as they start dancing with other girls. As soon as they leave your side. You are approached by a guy that was a little too drunk. He starts to dance with you and you let him at first. Then he starts to get a little handsy. “So you walk away leaving him on the dancefloor. He doesn't even blink grabbing at another girl.
You walk back up to the VIP section and take another shot and you can feel eyes on you. You turn around. You see a man with piercing hazel eyes come up to you. He is tall, handsome, well built with black hair neatly combed. You blush. “Would you like to dance?” He asks you. “Umm sure” you tell him a little dazed. You aren't sure if it's the alcohol or his looks that have you flushed. “You head out to the dance floor. As a slow song starts playing. He grabs you close and you feel your breath leave your body as his eyes look you over. “You are a good dancer.” You tell him and he chuckles. “So are you.” he says with a grin. “What's your name? He asks you? Mireya you tell him. “What is yours?” you ask him. “Nicolas.” “Nice to meet you Nicolas.” you tell him with a smile. “I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but today is your birthday, correct?” Nicolas asks. “Yes. I turned 21 today you tell him “ He laughs. “You look a little young to be 21 Mireya.” He tells you. You blush avoiding his eyes. He leans in close and whispers in your ear. “Don't worry your secret is safe with me.” You smile looking into his ever changing eyes. You clear your throat as the song ends. “I would love to get to know you better.” He tells you. Your heart skips a beat. “Okay how about we go sit?” He follows you back to VIP. You talk for awhile as you drink. You excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and on the way back you feel a shiver go down your spine. You turn around and see a handsome man with dark brown hair and eyes walking up to you. Your heart skips a beat, warmth shooting thru you as you watch him approach. The desire to kiss him almost too much. He walks right up to you. He leans down and tells you. “Be careful, don’t trust him.” “What?” you say confused. “Be careful Mireya, don’t trust him.” he says again and leaves. You stand there stunned. Who was that man and how did he know my name? You look around trying to find him but he is nowhere to be seen. What the hell? You take a few deep breaths. Come on Mireya, get yourself together.
You walk back to VIP and see that Nicolas talking with Alex, Josh, and the 2 women they were dancing with earlier. They are laughing as you approach. “So I see you met Nicolas.” you tell them both. “Yeah, we were just talking about you.” ugh, great. You could only imagine what they said. “Dont worry Mireya, all good stuff.” Nicolas says seeing the look on your face. The girls with Alex and Josh just glared at you. Here we go again. “Forgive my brothers,” you tell them with a smile. Upon hearing the word brother the girls immediately relaxed. “I’m Mireya.” They smiled but did not give their names. “This is Tiffany and Lisa.” Josh says trying to ease the tension in the air. “Nice to meet you.” You say giving them a fake smile. Nicolas clears his throat. “So we were just talking and I was telling them that I could give you a ride home if you wanted.” You look at Nicolas surprised. He was brave to be telling Josh and Alex that. “Actually, we promised dad that we would bring Reya home.” Alex says. Glaring at Nicolas. “Reya?” Nicolas says looking at you. “Its my nickname.” You tell him blushing. He smiles at the boys. “of course.” Nicolas says. “It was a pleasure meeting you Mireya.” he kisses your cheek before he leaves. The boys kiss the girls goodnight and follow you outside.
You had park the car a block away. So you follow the boys down an alleyway as you all stumble into each other. Alex had already sobered up so he could drive and was having a hard time keeping you upright. You giggled holding on to Alex to keep from falling. “So I take it you had a good birthday?” He asks you. “Hell yeah she did.” Josh answers for you. You laugh. It was a lot of fun until you cockblocked me.” You tell him with a smirk. He stops to look at you surprised. “What?” he says anger in his eyes. “You heard me” you tell him. You guys said I should get laid and then you cockblock me.” Alex stops walking to look at you. He takes a deep breath and says. “Reya, your drunk. You don't know what your saying.” He grabs you by the waist and starts walking again. “Whatever” you tell him rolling your eyes. Before Alex could respond you hear Josh behind you throwing up in the alley. “Get it all out now cuz your not puking in my car.” Alex tells Josh. You laugh. A strong smell hits your nose. You have never smelled it before. It was like a dog, copper, and sulfur. Then you hear a noise in the alleyway. “What was that?” you ask. Then you hear a howl. “That can't be good.” you say shivering. You look around and see three pairs of eyes glowing in the dark. “What the hell?” Alex asks. You see what looks like 3 huge wolves standing on hind legs come out of the dark and surround you, growling. Before you can scream. They attack.

7.1.19
It’s Monday. It’s the 1st of July AND it’s the start of the last 6 months of 2019.
I’m ready to rock it!!
Starting with.... I WORKED FOR 5.5 HOURS YESTERDAY! The last two hours were dragging, but I made it through. I submitted 2 writing assignments and did coursework.
I finally broke the 4 hour mark and it felt so good. I think Saturday helped!
My goal today is to reach 6 hours. And I’m going to start work at 6am today. I have to write, do freelance, do coursework, finish decodeing cs track and i think that’s it...
So, I’m rocking it in the work department! What else... what else OH UM HI HELLO! I woke up at 3:45AM today!
I want to wake up at 4am everyday. I didn’t trust myself to snooze for 15 minutes so I’ll take the 3:45am for now.
I spent this morning cooking for awhile. I just don’t have time to cook all the things and clean all the dishes. So, Brandon has been on his own and I’ve been literally eating fruit and nuts.
I’m too busy to cook! But, I’ve been going to bed hungry because I just can’t be bothered with cooking and I don’t feel like anymore fruit.
So this morning I cooked Brandon some lunch food that will last about two days. And I’m cooking a shit ton of soup in the fake instapot and a rice cooker full of rice.
After work, I would like to cook more things. Basically, I’m going to cook everything I can in my house. Any meal I can make is getting cooked today until I go to bed lol.
That way we can have actual meals to eat from the fridge or freezer when I’m in this work phase.
We also have to clean. Cleaning is something Brandon and I have to make a habit of. It needs to happen every day.
Ugh
I kinda signed up for a 30k word challenge in July. These words right now don’t count. It only counts if its being used towards the site.
Which is good for the gaat, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up with it since I’m also doing freelance writing.
My writing assignments yesterday were 650 and 800 words. I did the 650 one first and the 800 one draaaggggeeedd.
But, they were on boring topics. So I’m hoping MY topic will be more fun. Yesterday I wrote more than 1450 words. So I guess that should be my limit.
I have to write under 1,000 everyday to meet the goal this month, so it might be doable!
I have a 1500 assignment due early 4th of july. That one is going to be a doozy, so I’m doing half tomorrow and half on Wednesday.
I’m sorry this post has been all jumbled.
Okay just for my brain, this is what i need to do today:
Write for gaat
Freelance 
2 classes for DECODEING
DTC coursework
Refresh craiglist on house listing
take pics of treadmill and bike trainer and list them
cook all the things
do all the dishes
facking relax with the babies
OH! that’s another thing. Last night was soooo cute. Cookies jumped up on the bed and I shit you not, he let me CUDDLE him for like a half an hour. Full on cuddles too. Arms wrapped around and pulled into a hug.
Then he got up and OMFG Teah jumped up to lay with me. Teah doesn’t like full blown cuddles, but last night he let me lay my arm across him and pet him ALOT.
Then Cookies wanted more so he saw the tiniest space between my neck and Teah and fucking jumped up and sqeezed in for more cuddles.
I died of cuteness and kitty cuddles last night!!!
Then Frappe took her throne on my hip, baby breadstick and ice were by my feet. I love being a cat mom <3

So, i’m having an advertising class and today we started photography... i love photography so much ugh. I mean, low self steem aside, i really like to capture different things through the lens... (i’m talking like i’m a pro but i’m really NOT). I just... like that we can capture a moment and... you know. Everything is so different and more alive through the lens. I just... 
I don’t really like my looks and i rarely post any photos, but one of my classmates took this pic... I liked it. 
(i know this post started as an ‘loving photograpy’ text but now i need/want to talk about the way we look at ourselves) 
As you guys know... i don’t like myself. Not exactly ‘me’, but the way i look. Since i was, like, 8?, ppl would tell me i was ugly/fat and... well.... i had several health problems related to beauty. (i’m not getting into that, bad memories, triggers, but it was rough). I HATE using dresses/ANYTHING that show skin/shorts. I HATE wearing makeup (idk exactly why, when i was younger i loved it but i guess i just stopped cause i thought i would never be good looking anyway, so why bother?). 
The shirt i’m using in this pic is sleveless. I would NEVER use this shirt. The pants i’m wearing isn’t jeans this time. I bought it, like 2 years ago but never used cause it’s very tight and marks my body (for someone with a beauty complex who thinks she’s too fat, this pants should be in the trash).
For the past weeks, i’ve been trying to change that. I’m trying to be more positive about my body. I did that awhile ago but it didn’t work so i’m trying again. I started small, taking pics whenever i thought i was looking kinda cute or sleepy. Then, i went out with my friends a week ago wearing a dress i didn’t wear in ages (and, to my surprise, i thought i looked good in them). Started using make up (not everyday/not much cause, yk, skin gotta rest). Then, i went to the mall and bought three clothes that i thought it was cool/my style but never, in a milion years, would wear cause it showed too much skin/was too tight. And used yesterday. And LIKED IT.
My body still looks the same, but i think it’s growing on me. I’m getting attached, ahhahaha. Before, if i used a shirt that was bright and i thought i looked fat in it, i 99% of the times take off the clothes, and didn’t get out the house. Now, i look at my body, and i know i have a little belly, but i don’t have any grudges. That’s who i am. And i should be proud of it. 
That doesn’t mean i don’t want to be healthy. That doesn’t mean i want to be fat. I’m just accepting my body. I started to walk, and take care of what i eat and WHEN i eat (yk, if you stop eating it’ll be worse to you. you won’t get thin, and i’m still trying to work on this one). But i think i’m getting healthier and, tbh, if i still have this little tummy after a month, two months, a year, forever... that’s fine by me.

Remember that lil bit where i was dating that chick and we went to the big city for our 3rd date and i gave her a chance cause we got along good over text and i thought itd just be awkward for awhile tho i did tell her i wanted to go slow? She still makes me feel so damn guilty and selfish and ashamed tbh.
Like first date when i wouldnt hold her hand for an entire movie. Our next date was chill and i thought it was cool. Then when we went to the city i was really enjoying it and her, and was having a great time. I was actually building up to holding her hand. Then she invited her friend and things got weird n uncomfy and i wasnt having fun anymore. And when we drive back she was mad at me that i hadnt made a move on her in the 12 hours we spent together that day, even tho i said slow. And i told her that i did wanna hold hands but then when she ignored me for her friend i got anxious. But i also confided in her that it was a big emotional move on my part and that i had never been on a roadtrip alone, especially such an important one (part was to meet my rabbi) and that it was me opening up and being emotionally vulnerable. And she got pissy and was saying emotional stuff doesnt count and was still mad. And she was driving us in the dark and it was raining, and she had a tendency to swerve. So when she tried to hold my hand and drive one handed i said it wasnt that i dont like her, just felt unsafe driving like that. She was saying how i made her feel rejected, actually she said that a lot. Then later she cheated and sent me a pic with the obvious hickies so i just didnt bother talking to her anymore. Like she just kept pressuring me, and pushing, amd was unrelatable and would always make me explain everything and i couldn't just think of things. She asked if i was demisexual and the it just made me feel so ashamed you know? And even tho we'd had 3 dates and i said i wanted to go slow she still complained to her friend that i wasnt putting out. Talked to that friend (one who she ditched me for on the trip) and when she heard my side she was like jeez no i get you she was being a dick.
Just.. Ugh. I feel so gross all the time. Spent the past couple years with a rep of being a dumb bimbo only good for one thing even tho it wasnt true and i didnt even know those people. And now everyone else is messaging me or wanting to do stuff and i feel bad even saying i dont want to. Im just tired of everyone else having a say in my sexuality but me. Its not funny or selfish or mean if i feel weird about sex or back out or just take awhile. I dont know why i feel so shitty even after a good experience with someone i love. But im just so tired of not being in control whether it be by my hand or someone elses.
Sorry about this im just having a really rough time about my sexuality and expectations and guilt and confusion
