Study Tips for Chronically Ill Students

Most bloggers aren’t writing for the chronically ill audience. Typical tips, tricks and hacks on productivity, motivation and studying just don’t work for us. As a chronically ill student who’s in her last year of undergrad (yay!) I decided to share what I have learned over the (many) years. 

1. Get comfortable. Seriously. Don’t force yourself to sit at your desk, or go out to a coffee shop to study. Most people will tell you not to lay in bed while you read your books but if you are anything like me, getting ready and driving to the library or Starbucks just takes too much energy. I recommend making yourself a nice set up with everything you need. If you can tolerate sitting at a desk don’t skimp out. Buy yourself a decent, ergonomic office or gaming chair. Make sure you have a drink, a snack, your medication, charges, books, and anything else you need within arms reach. The less you have to get up the more energy you are saving. 

2. Take frequent breaks. Okay, this may sound contradictory to tip #1 but hear me out. Everyone person is different, every body is different, and every day is different. Some days your symptoms are just so bad you need to get comfortable and try not to move. But other days you might be fighting brain fog and mental exhaustion. So get up, or even just stop and sit for a minute to rest your mind. Some days I will stop every few sections and get up to do something small like apply a face mask, go back to studying, and then get up in 15 minutes to wash it off etc. Just find what works for you.

3. Write shit down. Write everything down. And write it in multiple places. Again, brain fog is such a bitch, but writing things down multiple times in multiple places will help you remember. I have a paper calendar that I write all my assignment due dates, doctors appointments, and other important things onto, but I also have an assignment check list with all of my upcoming assignments in my notebook. Also, I keep a huge running list titled Never Ending List of Shit To Do with boring chores and tasks that need to be done like doctors to call, bills to pay, letters to mail etc; and I use that list to pick and choose what I’m going to do each day and fill that out on a sticky note or another small insert that serves as my daily to do list.

4. Establish a routine. But don’t be discouraged if you can’t follow it to a T and don’t be afraid to change it up. My routine changes a lot because my symptoms and body are constantly changing too. Also, it’s important to note that a routine is not the same as a schedule. This is important for those of us with chronic illness because its just not feasible to assume we will be able to get up at the same time every day, eat lunch at the same time every day, and study for the same amount of time every day.  

5. Stay (way) ahead of schedule. You never know what life is going to throw at you, especially when you are chronically ill. Unfortunately, we can’t plan our flares, but we can prepare for them. If you know you suffer from migraines that will knock you out of commission for 3 days then make sure you are always 3 days ahead of schedule. Something I highly recommend is doing a little bit every day, even if its only 20 minutes of reading. Of course, sometimes we need a break and that’s okay too! Self care is important!

6. Online classes are the best. So many people say online classes are hard because you have to be super disciplined, and that it’s easier to have the accountability to show up to class, but I highly disagree. Online classes give you the freedom to read when you want, listen to lectures when you want, sleep when you need to, and stay comfortable in bed when it would be impossible to get to class. I work solely online and if it weren’t for the option of online classes I would not be in college right now or anytime in the near future.

7. Audio is your friend. Honestly, this is a tip for everyone in high school or college out there. Sometimes we are too tired or in too much pain to stare at a book or screen, or sometimes we need to utilize our energy wisely and multitask by listening while we clean the house. And this isn’t limited to audio text books. There are so many YouTube videos, podcasts, documentaries and more that you can easily just pop on while you are resting or doing chores! I listen to my lectures while I do my nails every week.

8. Don’t rewrite your notes. Don’t write them at all if you can avoid it. Almost all of my professors supply chapter outlines or summaries that I can just print off and fill in extra notes on. If you do need to write your notes I suggest typing them, or only writing them out once, and only what is most important. Whatever you do, don’t rewrite them, and for the love of god do not waste your time trying to make them look like an Instagram photo. Ain’t nobody got spoons for that.

9. Try to balance your course load appropriately. If you are taking a full course load try to even out the number of upper division classes you take with some easy classes, as well as some boring and some interesting. Alternatively, don’t be afraid to drop classes and go down to part time, even if just for one semester. I have tried to stay full time all year round since I re-enrolled in school fall semester of 2017, but spring of 2019 my health took a drastic decline and I did drop down from 5 classes to 3. I also took summer of 2019 off to focus on my health and came back this semester (fall 2019) ready to rock and roll. Seriously, do not be afraid to drop classes. It felt like the end of the world when I did it, but it was absolutely the right choice for me. It saved my GPA and my sanity.

10. Talk to your professor. And your university, and your classmates, and your adviser, and anyone else around you who can offer resources and support. Every university and college  has a Disability Services Coordinator Student Center available to request accommodations. The information to contact the center should be listed on your syllabus and the school website. They can help with everything and anything disability related. And if you feel comfortable you should really talk to your professor. Just give them a heads up and inform them of what’s going on. As for your classmates, its always good to connect and find a study buddy or someone you can borrow notes from whether you have a disability or not! 

I really hope this list can help some fellow chronically ill students out there. This is what I have learned in my 5+ years of attending college with various chronic and mental illnesses. I truly live by everything I talked about in this post and I have been fairly successful in my academic career. Please re-blog this post to help a fellow student who may have a chronic illness or disability! Happy studying!

Two-Faced Jewel: Session 11

Horse On First

A half-elf conwoman (and the moth tasked with keeping her out of trouble) travel the Jewel in search of, uh, whatever a fashionable accessory is pointing them at. [Campaign log]

Last time, our heroes made contact with the Deathseekers, and opted to accompany them back to Barley to take care of some unfinished business. While the high-level adventurers take care of the dragon, the party goes to deliver a book and pick up some clothes from the tailor. No drama here, probably!

In the morning, the party is woken by a visitor to the inn. Looseleaf... acquires a new bit of background thanks to an excellent History roll.

The maid is here to retrieve the party, as the Deathseekers are about to set out. One thing that's somewhat surprising is that the deathseekers aren't riding giraffes, like normal people- they're riding these weird, hulked-out short-necked hornless giraffes that- and there must be some mistake here- are apparently called "whoreses"? It's weird. The best their Nature rolls can get is that they sort of resemble an exotic striped creature called a "zebra", maybe.

Lady Greatholder is there, with two of her maids- one of whom is an elf, who's staring at Oyobi in undisguised horror. To non-elven eyes, Oyobi might look normal, dressed sort of sporty, even- but to an elf's keen sense of propriety, she might as well be wearing an ahegao t-shirt and hammer pants.

Traveling conversation is light.

Looseleaf: "What are these things, anyways? They look like recolored zebras." Benedict I. (GM): You must've misheard something, because Doon says "What, you've never seen a whores before?" Saelhen du Fishercrown: "...pardon me?" Looseleaf: "Is this- this is a pun, right? Like, I'm supposed to ask why you call them whores, and you'll answer, 'because we're riding them'? Is that the joke?" Saelhen du Fishercrown: Oh, god, this is an elaborate gaslighting prank. They are going to try to convince Saelhen to call this thing a whore, and then they will laugh, and she cannot even blame them, because that would be hilarious if she did it, probably. Benedict I. (GM): "Is there something wrong with the whoreses, ma'am?" the human girl asks. Looseleaf: "No, like, you're calling these animals whores, and despite the fact that I wasn't allowed to look at those magazines when I was younger, I'm relatively sure that the Common word 'whore' refers to a lady of ill repute of a brothel- I'm making this worse, aren't I." "I didn't learn the wrong word did I. Oh gods I totally learned the wrong word didn't I. The books that taught me Common were messing with me weren't they." Benedict I. (GM): Lady Greatholder and Doon absolutely lose their shit, as does Oyobi, who's been grinning ear to ear this whole time. Kevin speaks up. "Ah, no, it's- H-O-R-S-E. Hor-suh." "They're from up north." Saelhen du Fishercrown: Saelhen covers her faint smile (read: shit-eating grin). "How novel." Looseleaf: Looseleaf emits a quiet buzzing sound not unlike the sound previously emitted by John Human. This is moth for 'quiet screaming'.

The party doesn't really withhold any details about Arnie and the tower- they just make an appeal for Arnie to be treated with as much mercy as they can muster. Doon implies that he was in a similar place when Lady Greatholder found him, so she reluctantly agrees to stay the hand of JUSTICE.

On arriving in Barley, the Deathseekers go over their plan, in the broad strokes: they're going to post up in the tower, and lay a trap for the dragon using Arnie as bait. By Arnie's reckoning, it'll take a little over a week before the dragon's next visit, so the party has some time to kill in town.

Their first order of business is to visit Chitch, a local lizardfolk farmer who was kidnapped by Lumiere:

Chitch seems surprised that they didn't get kidnapped or tortured- and even more surprised when they claim to have information on his missing daughter's whereabouts.

They hand him CHOSS BOOK, the diary of the girl who was raised in Lumiere's tower as his apprentice. He starts reading it, and his tears of joyful disbelief turn to anger as he reads through the contents- which describe an evil torture wizard raising his daughter as his own, and using her as a test subject.

When he's about halfway through, he puts it down, grabs his pitchfork, and starts strapping on his armor- intent on heading for the tower to kill Lumiere. The party has to hastily explain the situation and exhort him to finish reading the diary, please- Lumiere is already dead, and Choss is safe in Wheat.

Chitch thanks them for the information, and presents them with a reward- apparently, before fleeing to Barley to settle down with his infant daughter, he was a lieutenant commander in the fleet of one Umidono Kaiden, an elven naval commander attempting to take control of the lawless Cutthroat Isles. He gives them his jeweled badge, which could sell for a decent chunk of cash or potentially be useful if they ever need to deal with Kaiden in the future. Orluthe is the one to pocket it, as the rest of the party hems and haws over accepting such a gift.

SNext, they head to visit Kensa Kanthalga to pick up Saelhen's torn kimono- and after a lot of paranoid second-guessing re: heading directly for the Kanthalga house via the grass, go through the Temple of Diamode in front of it first, to update Malath on the situation.

They find her continuing to train the town militia in spearwork, in preparation for what she assumes is an impending assault from Wheat.

They... do not mention Arnie, because mentioning the culprit is Arnie could potentially fan the flames with Wheat. Instead, they mention that the murder weapon was found there, as was evidence of a dragon. Malath seems skeptical that a dragon would stealthily kill with a tiny weapon, and somewhat perturbed that Deathseekers are in town, but agrees to notify the town that the Deathseekers are at the tower handling the dragon issue, so no one does anything dangerous like going over there.

(Incidentally, Vayen has vanished, and Looseleaf's bugged medical kit has indicated that he's gone over to the tower. Hm.)

So, they pass through the temple and visit Kensa in her home. Kensa answers the door, wearing...

...ah.

See, Kensa assumed that after they went to the torture tower and didn't come back for several days, that they were dead or torture-enslaved- and like, the dead or torture-enslaved don't need a stylish kimono, right?

So she is suitably mortified when Saelhen shows up at her door, not dead in the slightest.

Benedict I. (GM): Kensa's down pretty quick, wearing the pink dress from before (if somewhat more disheveled), holding a folded kimono. To her credit, it looks very well-repaired- you can't even tell it was damaged. "I- my apologies! Here you are, ma'am!" Saelhen du Fishercrown: Saelhen takes it. "While I have you here, would you like to hear a secret about this dress?" Kensa Kanthalga: "I- er, of course! Thank you!" Saelhen du Fishercrown: "When I was of an age comparable to yours..." She leans in conspiratorially. "I hated this thing. I fell down in it in front of a ballroom full of people and I very honestly wanted to take a scissor to it." Kensa Kanthalga: "N-no way...!" Saelhen du Fishercrown: "I keep it because it was a gift and because I sometimes need it. But if it gives you pleasure to wear it, then it is accomplishing far more with you than it ever did for me." Kensa Kanthalga: Her eyes widen. "R-really?!" Saelhen du Fishercrown:"I do still need it, to be clear. I, ah, don't mean to get your hopes up." Kensa Kanthalga: "...Oh." "No, of course..." You totally got her hopes up. Looseleaf: Not only did you get her hopes up, you even got Looseleaf's hopes up. Saelhen du Fishercrown: To be fair, "prove that elves can be assholes too" is right there on her character sheet.

And as far as payment- Saelhen just implied that Kensa would be allowed to cut out a swatch or two of the silk during repairs, which Kensa immediately jumped on without discussing further payment. Except...

Then Saelhen... gives Kensa some advice.

Saelhen du Fishercrown: "Now, in your shoes, considering that I might have been still alive, what I would have done was this: cut out squares, maybe handkerchief-sized, here and here. 'One or two,' as I specified." The places Saelhen indicated on the kimono are... not great places for there to be handkerchief-sized holes. They would render it pretty much unwearable. "I didn't ever specify where the swatches should be cut out, true. And so you could certainly chalk up the issue to youthful enthusiasm and indiscretion." "A lady like myself could never do something so crass as ask you to pay for a dress you'd taken time out of your busy schedule to repair, working to the bone over long hours. And I certainly wouldn't have had use for something I couldn't wear or repair myself." Kensa Kanthalga: "I- wh...?" Saelhen du Fishercrown: "And so you would have had the swatches -- and, shortly, the entire dress with it." Benedict I. (GM): She is so confused. Is this lady trying to give her advice on how to grift her??? "That's- but that'd be...!" "I couldn't do that!" Looseleaf: oh my god is saelhen trying to recruit an apprentice is THAT what this is, Looseleaf thinks Saelhen du Fishercrown: "You could, dear."

Saelhen is trying to recruit an apprentice conwoman.

Saelhen retreats, at this point- they'll be staying for a week or so! There's time to lay groundwork!

Next time: some downtime in Barley, before the night of the dragon fight and the execution of Saelhen's master plan.

[the-secret-garden-library]

So, until I finally have a chance to sit down and actually write out a decent “Get to know me” post, I’ll add in little tidbits of info about myself (if I remember that is lol)

Or y’all can ask me questions, that’s okay too!

(((This was a piece that I had originally worked on for another blog that I had been a part of until the main writer and owner of the blog ended up chasing me off, which just helped to fuel this blog!)))

“I need me some jealous Bo! Please!!! Like His crush seems to be getting too close to whoever (Kuroo maybe) and he just gets incredibly jealous and they get to his place (make it college AU please) and kinda end up having kitchen sex ??? On the table??? Is that good ? Can you do that? Thank you in advance ❤

Oh, for the jealous/kitchen sex Bokuto ask, can you make the girl/reader small and chubby and cute ? (It's okay if you say no, just asking ^^)

Since this wasn’t quite specified for either headcanons or a scenario, I’m going to go ahead and do these as a headcanon set just so y’all can kinda get a taste for how I do NSFW just in case if y’all want to give any feedback on it! 

Also, if there is ANYTHING similar to what happened last time when I posted something containing a “chubby” reader, you better believe that (REDACTED) and I will have a discussion about what to do with similar requests in the future.”

~ Jae ~

Bokuto Kotarou

For someone who is normally what people consider a major social butterfly who was fairly easygoing, you would never think that Bokuto was capable of having feelings of jealousy

At least that’s what you thought before the two of you started your friendship

Though you had to give him credit as he still acted the same as usual, still the energetic and bubbly guy you’ve known since freshman year of college

And with that comes with Bo’s friends, mainly Akaashi and especially Kuroo

You loved them both dearly, but holy crap they could be a little more than even you could handle at times

But you, Bo, and Kuroo were all basically joined at the hip since the moment y’all met

Even going far enough to rent out a three bedroom house near your college campus as a group of roommates

And initially this didn’t pose an issue to any of you, rather it seemed to be the perfect arrangement for basically the world’s greatest and longest sleepover lol

However even at times the best laid plans come to expect problems

Especially during the hellish Finals Week

As the three of you focused more on your studies and with different class times, it was rare to be able to find time for the three of you to hang out at the same time

And with Bokuto’s volleyball practice schedule (as he was an athletic scholarship recipient) it really didn’t permit him extra time to be at your shared apartment

So imagine his shock when he found you sitting up asleep on the couch, legs curled under you as Kuroo’s head used your plump thighs (HIS nap pillow mind you!)

All of you definitely know how Kuroo sleeps

He literally has tried to, unconsciously mind you, shove his face into your soft stomach like he would his own pillows, arms firmly wrapped around your waist

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time that this had happened

Now Bokuto knew for a fact that nothing was going on other than just that

But seeing the two of you situated like that while he wasn’t there had a tendency to play upon his mind and his self confidence quite a bit

And with the stress from practice and finals week, it ended up being a bit too much

So imagine your surprise when he basically hauls Kuroo off of you with a growl and all intents and purposes dumps him outside, in his tank top and boxers, the door like the kitty cat he is and locking the deadbolt

Bo’s back is still turned to you when you call him out, asking what’s going on

He’s completely still as you cautiously approach him

But before you can even touch him, he whirls around and grabs you, molding your small, soft body against his and seemingly squeezes you with every fiber of his being

That’s when you finally notice just how much his body is shaking, especially when he buries his face in your hair and attempts to cover you with as much /him/ as possible

Which frankly giving your small stature, isn’t all that hard to do

Finally coming to terms with the reason of his sudden outburst, you gently pull yourself just enough from his grasp so you can look at him properly

Can you say major big time pout much?

He’s definitely embarrassed from what you can tell by the look on his face but the gathering tears in the corner of his eyes stuns you quite a bit

You knew about Bokuto’s tendencies for major mood swings when his emotions tended to run wild when you became friends

That, and his tendency for extreme neediness when he happened to be in one of those moods

Luckily you’ve had enough practice with his moods that you already lead him to sit down at the kitchen table, always keeping a hand on him and murmuring words of affirmation and affection

However this time Bokuto seems different, your usual way of calming him down and bring around the usual Bo not working like usual

Before you can even blink though, he’s already pulled you into his lap and is holding you by your hips

You shiver as you feel Bokuto press his face into the base of your neck, nuzzling the soft, sensitive skin there.

    “Hey Kou? What’s wrong?” you ask as you try to pull back from him so you could actually look him in the eye. You have to bite back a whimper as he refuses to look up and instead chooses to draw you even closer to him.

    “Koutarou, you know you can tell me anything, right?” Adjusting yourself to sit better on his lap, you begin to lightly play with his hair. Playing turns into gentle kneading as you wait for him to open up to you, lightly working out the stress knots in his neck and upper back and you can feel him slowly start to relax. Suddenly you feel his lips moving against your neck and you jump.

    Bokuto pulls just far enough away from your skin to be able to talk clearly.

    “Sorry…” he murmurs, lifting his head to rest it on your shoulder and stares into the kitchen behind you. 

“I… when I saw the two of you like that I…” he trails off as he tries to focus on his breathing to steady himself, “...I got jealous. Like, really, really jealous and I don’t know why and I know that it was stupid ‘cause it was just you and /Kuroo/ and that’s normal and I see it all the time but this time it just felt really weird and different and I didn’t like it, I /don’t/ like it.” 

He has you in an iron grip at the moment, obviously intending for you to sit there and /stay/ there like his life (or pride) depended on it. Bokuto licks his lips, the motion making his light stubble scratching the sensitive skin on your neck and tickling you.

As you put the pieces together, you slowly come to a conclusion that up until this point you never thought that it would ever be possible but even still you just had to, /needed/ to check and see if it could be true.

“Kou, look at me” you ask, your racing heart attempting to break free from your chest, “Please Koutarou?”

Slowly he loosened up his grip on you and turned to face you but still his eyes refused to meet yours.  And if the prominent rosy hue on his cheeks and still present pout were any sort of indicator, you figured that you knew exactly what the answer would be to your next question. 

“Kou, when you said that you were jealous of Kuroo…” you hesitated, trying to find just the right words to say, “Could it be that you have a thing for me? Koutarou, do you have feelings for me?”

He flinched which only confirmed your suspicions but you still wanted to hear it from him.

His blush spread to his ears, shining brightly against his hair.

“I...uh… Yeah, yeah I do…”

“Real...really?” You managed to squeal out, suddenly feeling much warmer than you were just a moment ago, obviously whatever Bokuto had was quickly growing contagious. 

“I...I, wow, I had no idea Kou…”

“Ah haha, really? I thought I… I mean that's okay! That was a good thing… I think?” He was beginning to quickly deflate, the melancholy starting to slowly crawl into his entire being.

Bokuto gently slipped you from his lap and into the chair next to his before jumping up, turned as if to go.

“I'm just… Sorry, I just remembered that I had somewhere i needed to do a...thing at. I've got to go”

Before he had a chance to turn an walk away, you jumped at him and grabbed his hand.

“Bo, wait!” 

He barely had a chance to turn to look at you when you placed your hands on either side of his face and pulled him down, pulling him into a somewhat messy and ill-aimed but heated kiss.

It was like a switch had flipped in Bokuto.

He growled, covering your hands with his much bigger ones as he began to kiss you back with an almost bruising fervor. A hand snaked into your hair and he pulled gently, easing your head back to expose your throat to him as he kissed his way down your jaw, nibbling down the expanse of your neck and leaving hot opened mouthed kisses along the way.

Bokuto backed you up against the kitchen table, reaching behind you to shove last night's attempts at homework and studying to the floor.

Suddenly he ended the kiss, pulling back to study you with those liquid honey eyes of his.

“Yes or no?”

“W-what?” You gasped out as you tried to clear your head a bit from the lust-driven fog in your mind.

He pulled back a little more out if your reach which made you suddenly feel just how warm he was from the sudden loss of his body heat.

“(...), I mean do you want this, want me as much as I want you, yes or no?” His eyes captured yours and the serious look on his face, the one very similar to his Ace face, helped to sober you up some more about what was happening.

But you have had enough already, the once seemingly firm flood gates had finally been allowed to burst open and had no chance of closing again.

“Fuck, Bo, I…” You looked at him, tossed all your cares for that day out the window, and threw your arms around his neck to press your body and your lips firmly against him.

You rolled your eyes when you felt him smile into the kiss and little puffs resembling his hooting escape, but even you had to smile in the end.

Bokuto picked you up to lay you down on the now clear table and started to work on your neck to leave his marks on your skin.

Somehow you had managed to sneak your hands up his chest and was currently in the process of undoing the buttons on his shirt. You ended up getting frustrated at the slow pace, especially with how Bokuto had started nipping and sucking at the base of your neck while one his thumbs rubbed circles into your hips, so you ripped open his shirt the rest of the way and sent buttons flying while you yanked the shirt off of him.

He was forced back a bit when you yanked the shirt off of him and the smouldering look he gave you only fanned the flames.

“Oh? Impatient are we?” Bokuto cocked an eyebrow at you, the huskiness of his voice making you shiver down to your toes.

You scoffed and shot him a look before you grabbed hold of the bottom of your shirt and yanked it over you head, throwing it...somewhere else where you knew that you were going to have to hunt for it later.

But at this moment in time, you could have cared less.

“Less talky, more nakey”, you ordered, hurrying to undo your pants and slide them down your legs,  much to his very shocked and bright red reaction. You smirked at the very obvious reaction in his pants thanks to your much more freed choice of clothing options.

“U-uh, yeah… Yeah just give me a sex-...second!” Bokuto stuttered, his brain obviously going on autopilot and what little instinct that he had in that particular fun area. He kept fumbling with his belt buckle and had started to think about just trying to shove his pants down, belt and all.

That was before you decided to take pity on the poor guy and grabbed him by his belt. Your deft hands made quick work of undoing the cumbersome thing and pulled him flush to you, wrapping your legs around his hips to keep him there.

The low moan that slipped from his lips made you flush with desire, his hot and impossibly hard cock nestled snug against your core. His hips stuttered into yours as your fingers grazed the skin above his underwear before he, finally getting impatient, yanked them down and almost tripped in the process.

Which lead him to be face to face with your warm, pink cunt. And in that moment, Bokuto was convinced that it had even *winked* at him.

“Kou~”, You called out to him, trying to get his attention after he hadn’t moved for a few moments. 

You braced yourself for what you were about to do.

You reclined back on the table, twisting just so in a way that you thought would look seductive and slowly opened your legs more, slipping a hand down to play with and and tease your pussy directly in front of his face.

He visibly gulped, his eyes flicking back and forth between your own gaze and what you hand was currently doing. He inched forward, falling to his knees almost like worship before you, and closely watched how you would touch yourself. One of his hands slowly came forward and you jumped at the first contact of his cool fingers on your burning hot flesh.

You jumped as soon as he started to explore you, your own hand coming back up to pinch and pull at your nipples while he began playing with your body. 

Bokuto slid a hand down the outside of your leg, marveling at how soft your skin felt, pressing trailing kisses up the inside as he propped it up on his shoulder.

“Fuck you feel so good” he groaned as he massaged the back of your legs.

You blushed and squirmed at his kisses that did nothing but dumped fuel on the fire that was burning deep within your belly and making you even more impatient from how slow he was going.

“Bo, you know I’m really loving the fact that you’re worshipping me like you are, but for the love of god, hurry it up or I’m going to leave and finish on my own!” you howled. 

Hooking the leg that he had been paying homage to around his back and pulling him closer to you, you showed him just how wet you had grown and he could see your sex quiver from desire and arousal.

“Awww… I wanted to savor it a little bit more” he said, a playful grin growing across his face, as he nuzzled into your thigh. However the look you gave him after that made up his mind for him and he started to run his thumbs up your slit exploring how wet you were before licking from the bottom of your cunt up to your clit moaning as he went. 

You gasped as he flicked his tongue over your clit his fingers playing with your pussy as he explored you getting you opened up enough to be able to fit him in. Your hips jumped up as he slowly slid a finger and and looked for that small bundle of nerves before hitting it hard as he smashed his tongue against your clit. Your hand shot to his head your fingers and hands taking hold of his hair and pulling him even closer. 

He worked at opening you up with more fingers, adding one after the other as soon as he felt that you were ready to take them all the while playing with that small bundle of nerves with the tips of his calloused fingers and fervently sucking and licking your clit. He could tell that you were getting close to something as your legs started twitching and your thighs started closing in on his head. 

You were so close you could feel it coming quickly and you were almost there… and then he decided to pull away pushing your thighs apart and pushing them back towards you almost folding you completely in half. 

“Kou!”, you cried out, wanting to yell something, anything!, at him you were so close and it made you so annoyed, but the look on his face as he looked down on you from where he was at that you knew that if it had continued he would have more than likely finish the same way without actually getting to the main event.

“I know ____, I know! But if I kept doing that I, uh…” Bokuto blushed, shuffling closer so you could see just how hard he was. A thick line of precum had beaded at the tip of his visibly throbbing cock and had begun to slowly roll down the underside of its thick head.

“O-oh…” you murmur, finally realizing why he had stopped. You took a good look at him, his thick cock hard enough to reach upwards, bobbing with his every move and every time his pulse jumped.

“Ah, yeah so…” you weren’t looking at him now, the realization of what was finally happening after so long hitting you like a semi.

Bokuto began to deflate a little, feeling a little lost as to what to do now, especially with you not looking at him directly.

But he was definitely surprised when you suddenly surged upwards to grab him by the arms and pull him down to properly lay on top of you. You snuck a peek, looking for his eyes for any sign of any doubt he may have had, but all you saw was his soft look that was slowly giving way as he leaned in to kiss you again.

Which you gratefully accepted, wrapping your arms around him as he moved in between your legs.

“Let me know if anything hurts, okay?” he murmured against your lips, reaching a hand down to grab hold of his cock to rub it against your clit and lower lips, coating himself in your slick.

You moaned into his mouth, squirming  against him as he rocked against you, “Just go slow, okay?”

He nodded and clasped himself firmly in his hand, guiding it until it finally met your soaked hole and gently started to push in.

Bokuto gently rocked his hips until he was fully seated in you, pausing to catch his breath and stave of his orgasm from how incredible you felt while also giving you a chance to be able to get used to how thick he was.

You felt so incredibly full that you gasped and grasped at him and pulled you down til his face was resting in your neck.

“Bo…”  you rasped out, feeling him suck lightly on your neck and massage your soft curves as he tried to get you to relax underneath him.

You shivered, his every movement that brushed against your body sent tremors down your spine, especially when his hips would stutter and area just below his pelvis started to mash itself snug against your clit and sent shocking bursts throughout your body.

“Kou, please, please move!” you began to beg as your hips started to push against his, seeking that delicious friction that he unknowingly was teasing you with, “Koutarou, I’m okay now, I promise”

“You sure? I don’t want to make you if you need more time…” he searched your face, still refusing to move.

“Bokuto Koutarou, if you don’t stop worrying about me so much and actually start making love to me I swear to god I’ll push you down and ride you as hard as I can”, you growled. You wrapped your legs around his waist and used him to pull yourself up against him to grind down on him to emphasize your point.

He gulped, but you could see that his pupils had blown, the black almost overtaking the gold as he pulled back to look at your pouting face.

“Gotta save that idea for later on apparently…” you giggled to yourself as you watched him raise himself up before pulling out of you.

The harmonious moans that were ripped out of your throats as he thrusted back into your warmth filled the nearly quiet apartment and spurred Bokuto on even more.

You gasped as he started up a steady pace and he lowered his head to take a bouncing nipple into his mouth and sucked.

“You feel so good ____, so wet and warm for me. I can feel you sucking me in” he moaned around your nipple, “You really wanted me and my cock that badly, didn’t you?”

It wasn’t a question. Or at least if it was one, it was one that he knew the answer to already.

“Oh Kou, shut up and fuck me” you laughed, rolling your eyes as a smile crept upon your face.

“Yes ma’am!” he laughed and brought you in for another searing kiss. Bokuto slipped an arm behind you to pull you closer as his thrusts became more rhythmic, cradling you to his chest as he rested his face in your neck.

You arched against him, your breasts rubbing against his muscled chest, sending jolts of pleasure rushing through your body.

“Oh, f-fuck yeessss” you moaned as your hands slid down his broad back to grasp at his waist to help guide his movements. But mainly to get a few handfuls of that delicious looking backside of his, not that you’d tell anyone. 

Yet. 

He cursed when he felt your nails sink into his back and scratch as you let out the most sinfully dirty sounds after he happened to hit one spot in particular deep within you.

“Fuck, I want you to do that again” he choked into your skin, his warm breath on your neck making you burst into flames. His hips stuttered as he tried to find that one spot again, pushing harder as he felt your walls begin to quiver around his cock.

Bokuto adjusted his stance and, angling his hips to thrust down deeper into you, found that spot that made you mewl before.

You barely had time to suck in a breath before having it all tumble out of you as he started pounding away at that spot.

“AH! Ah a-ah Ko-Koutarou!” you screamed out, slowly losing your mind as he kept hitting spots that made your legs quake, “More! I need you, Kou, please, please give me more!”

“Fuck, don’t say that or I’m not going to be able to last much longer” he pleaded, his hips slamming into you now as he mashed his thumb against your clit and jerkily swirled the rough pad of his thumb around it. Bokuto was hunched over you, your arms still barely able to reach the back of his neck to pull him in for another bruising kiss, your breasts distracting him with their bouncing.

Hot, open mouthed kisses made your mind hazy and you could feel your body start to tighten, your legs wrapping around his waist and locking behind him. You could feel the pull from before rushing in, making you taut and tense.

And then he hit that one spot, rubbed your clit the right way…

And suddenly you were floating.

Bokuto heard you let out a small gasp before your pussy seized his cock and, making a sound like a screech owl , thrusting once, twice before crushing you into him before snapping. His hips rocked against yours as he came, thick ropes of warm cum spilling deep into you.

He said your name like a prayer, smothering you in kisses as the two of you came down from your individual highs.

After a few minutes the two of you look at each other, still bashful, but soon started to laugh.

“Did you seriously do that?!?” you giggled, pushing back the sweat drenched hair from his forehead to look at him better.

“I didn’t do anything!” he protested, his pretend pout losing the battle against the massive grin that was currently at home there.

“Mmhmm, suuure you didn’t” still giggling, you pulled him down into another, sweeter, kiss and to enjoy the moment.

Until you realized that you two were still on the kitchen table.

That you had just had sex on for the first time.

The communal table.

Oops.

“Alright big guy, you’ve got to get off me” patting his shoulder to get him to move so you could get up, “We’ve got to get this mess cleaned up”.

Or so you thought.

“Alright, alright. I’ll help you pick things up.”

You really should have paid more attention to what he was doing exactly.

The next thing you knew, you were being slung over his shoulders and carted off back towards his bedroom with him gleefully groping your ass.

“KOU!” you squealed, trying to sound like you were mad at his antics but you knew that he had you figured out when you felt him turning his head to bite the skin of your lower hip.

He dumped you unceremoniously on his bed before shutting the door and returning to finish his promise from before. 

“Now…” he purred, pulling you to the edge of the mattress before sinking down onto his knees and pulling your legs apart, licking his lips at the sight of your dripping cunt oozing with his cum.

“Where were we?”

Meanwhile, Kuroo was still sitting outside in his underwear, luckily having the chance to snag his phone before the door had been shut on him.

“About fucking time, better damn make it count stupid owl” he muttered, scrolling through his phone as he got comfy on the cold tile.

Returning a favour.

Summary: Jungkook has been taking good care of you while you were ill, and now it’s your turn to take care of him(I guess this is kind of a part 2 to my “Fever(ish).” post, but it can easily be read on its own). 

Warnings: Smut(hand+blowjob), Slight noona kink(?).

Pairing: Jungkook x Reader.

Word Count: 3,673.

Masterlist.

You were feeling much better over the last few days and you decided you wanted to have a shower. It was late at night but luckily you had a bathroom connected to your bedroom, so you didn’t have to worry about waking Jungkook up by going through the house and being loud. He never said anything about the shower being loud before, so you doubted he’d even be able to hear it when you were in it. 

You walked in to the bathroom, turning on the shower and letting the water warm up, undressing yourself in the mean time. You looked yourself in the mirror and you honestly didn’t understand how Jungkook could even stand being around you while you were ill. You looked like a ghost that had returned to a body. A body that had been dead for a considerable amount of time - you probably smelled like it too. 

The bathroom slowly steamed up and you decided the shower was probably more than warm enough now. 

You drew the shower curtain to the side and stepped in, the water instantly hitting one of your legs and your chest - you happily welcomed the slight burn the water offered you. You always did like the water warm - almost scorching. 

You put your head under the running water and your hair started sticking to your cheeks. You bent over grabbing the shampoo, squeezing a decent amount in to your hand, your hair being long you always went through way too much shampoo and conditioner. You grabbed your wash cloth hanging on the side of your shower and scrubbed your face clean. Such simple and small acts making you feel like a whole new person. 

You washed the shampoo out and continued with the conditioner - letting it work its magic you started washing your body. Grabbing your favourite body wash, its smell filling your senses as you remembered why you’d always loved it. It reminded you of summer. Those days where you step outside, the sun is high, the warmth holding you - the air is filled with this one scent. A scent that always made you happy, even on the worst days.  

It felt incredibly nice being in the shower, finally feeling clean for the first time since you got ill - all of the dirt washing away, all of the illness disappearing and your mood instantly got better, like the shower was rejuvenating you. 

You lingered in the shower for a little while, letting the water run across your body as you were lost in your thoughts. Everything between the sky and earth - everything between now, the past and the future was running wild in your head.

You decided to finish up before you morphed in to a fully fledged raisin. 

Jumping out of the shower you put a towel around yourself and spun one around your hair - you knew it was going to take ages to dry on its own so you decided you might as well use your hair dryer and avoid getting your pillow wet and possibly yet another cold, since you were now leaving your window open during the night, the summer time approaching quickly and the temperature increasing. 

You put on an oversized black t-shirt and some black panties. You liked your black colours. 

Walking around your room tidying it up after your laziness during your fever, waiting for at least a little bit of the moisture to get absorbed in to the towel around your hair. You decided to sit down at your desk and open your laptop - putting some hydrating creme on your face and browsing various news sites, keeping up with what was happening in the world - nothing you really wanted to read. It was only ever about the newest celebrity gossip and some accident or someone who had been murdered. 

Since when had you become so desensitised to reading someone had been murdered?

Sighing and pulling yourself away from your laptop you stood up and went over to your dresser, pulling your hair dryer out of a basket. You still weren’t feeling too tired. You looked over at the clock as you plugged your hair dryer in to the outlet next to your computer - 12:30 AM. It didn’t really matter you shrugged, it was Saturday after all, but you liked to keep your sleeping schedule the same throughout the week. 

You brushed your hair and started the hair dryer - you knew this was going to take a while, since your hair was still quite wet - but you didn’t want to just sit around and wait for it, so you went to battle. 

It didn’t take as long as you thought it would, but still enough for you to be annoyed by it - but no way in hell were you going to get it cut off, you loved your hair and how long it was. 

You stood in front of the full length mirror you had in your bedroom, admiring yourself, you’d been trying to keep off of a lot of sugary and oily things - not because you needed to lose weight, but because it was giving you issues with your skin. Though it did look like your thighs and your stomach had gotten a little smaller - you were okay with it, but would prefer not getting any slimmer than you were now. 

You turned around, away from the mirror and looked at your bed - you sighed. You didn’t know what it was, but you didn’t want to be alone right now. Maybe it was the news you had been reading? Maybe it was the thoughts that ran way too fast through your head when you were in the shower? Maybe it was nothing, but you knew you didn’t want to be alone. 

You shuffled around and opened the door to your bedroom and walked out to the corridor. You stopped for a minute - maybe you shouldn’t bother Jungkook. It was later than usual after all and you’d feel guilty if you woke him up. 

You turned around and looked back in to your bedroom - your bed looking so .. Not welcoming? You frowned - turned the lights off in your room and started walking through the house - If you woke him up you’d make it up to him some other time. He’d always said he’d do anything to make you feel better anyway, so he wouldn’t mind, right? 

As you walked through the house you stopped in the kitchen to grab a quick glass of water - you stood up on your toes to reach the glasses on the top shelf of the cabinet. Every time Jungkook did the dishes he always put them up there and you knew it was just because he enjoyed watching you struggle to get one down and you’d often have to ask him for help, he found it funny. “The little shit ..” You grumbled to yourself, but it made you smile - he did it to make you laugh, you knew that.  

You grabbed some cold water from the fridge - since summer was beginning you both always made sure there was a large bottle of water in the fridge that you could both take water from. 

You poured yourself some and put the bottle back in the fridge - the light from it illuminating the kitchen. Putting the glass to your lips and tilting it you could feel the ice cold water pour in to your mouth and it made you shiver.

You finished it and put the glass on the side of the sink - you weren’t going to clean it now, not at this time of night. 

Turning around and continuing your way down another corridor you saw no sign of light from underneath Jungkook’s door, he was almost certainly asleep.

You knocked gently on the door - “Jungkook-ah?” You near whispered. 

No response.

You opened the door slowly, it was creaking like it always did. You’d been meaning to do something about it for far longer than you care to admit, but the both of you just always forgot since his door was usually open anyway. 

You peaked your head in - and there he was, asleep.

He was lying on his back, facing his window - it was open and the curtains were drawn a little to the side, letting the moonlight in. His hair was messy, slightly covering his eyes - the edge of his covers resting on his hips, he wasn’t wearing a shirt, not uncommon when he went to sleep - but it gave you a full view of how well built and muscular he was, he always worked hard to look good and it paid off. One of his arms was up and bent next to his head going slightly above it, the other above the covers and extended down his side. Both his legs were bent and crossed, one under the other. You always found it strange that he slept like that, but each to their own you shrugged. 

“Jungkook-ah?” You called again softly.

He stirred in his bed, taking a deep breath and turning his head towards the door, opening his eyes slightly. “Noona?” his voice was deep and husky. “What’s wrong? What happened?” 

You shook your head instantly, trying to reassure him nothing had happened - “Nothing, Jungkook-ah. It’s just .. Can I stay with you tonight?” 

“Yeah, of course.” He smiled, pulling the covers away from his other side and patting the mattress, inviting you. 

You opened the door fully and entered the room, closing it behind you - you walked over to the bed and snuck under the covers, the warmth hitting you instantly as you realised your body had actually been quite cold, walking through the house and doing various things in your bedroom after your shower. 

You sighed, the warmth feeling so nice. 

Pulling the covers all the way up to your chin you could felt your senses being filled with the scent of Jungkook. He always smelled so nice - not because of any aftershave or deodorant, but because he smelled like home. He smelled like safety and it always made you happy. You loved being near him - it always made everything seem like it was going to be okay, no matter what. 

He turned around and faced you, moving closer and putting his arm above your head, motioning for you to lift yours - you did as he wanted, he put his arm under your head and you let your head fall down and rest on it, his other hand moving to your back as he pulled you closer to him and held you.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” He whispered, his eyes still closed, so he wouldn’t wake up fully unless you needed him to. 

“I am now.” You sighed with a smile - feeling his warmth around you. 

He simply hummed in approval, knowing you were feeling better, that was all he needed. He never pushed to know what was wrong or why you were feeling down, as long as he was able to make you feel better, and he always did. 

You bent your legs under you to find a more comfortable position - in the process you accidentally brushed one of your legs against Jungkook’s. He didn’t seem to notice, but you did. 

He wasn’t wearing anything on his legs. 

You assumed he was only wearing boxers - which had your heart speed up. You couldn’t deny that you were extremely attracted to the man. 

Your mind started racing - he was holding you so close, he was so warm. Your hands were on his chest, you could feel it rise and fall with his breathing - how muscular he was, how good he felt under your fingertips. 

You closed your eyes trying to fall asleep and forget the thoughts you had, but he made it difficult. His large hand on your lower back and his lips so close to your forehead. 

Moving your head slightly back, you allowed yourself to see his face. You studied his features - his lips, his hair, the mole on his nose and under his lip bottom lip. You wanted nothing more than to lean in and press your lips against his. 

He opened his eyes slightly, feeling your stare - “What’s up?” he asked with a shy smile. 

You moved closer to him, close enough for you to just feel his lips ghosting yours, but you stopped.

Maybe you shouldn’t, maybe it wasn’t a good idea, maybe- 

You were pulled out of your thoughts as Jungkook grew impatient and closed the gap between you, pressing his lips to yours - his hand on your back pulling your body in to his. 

The hand you had resting on his chest moved up across the side of his neck and to the back of his head, your fingers tangling themselves in his hair. 

His hand on your back moved down, ghosting over your behind and moving to the back of your thigh - pulling your leg up and towards his hip, letting it rest on his side and allowing him to move closer between your legs. 

You could feel his member growing harder by the second, pressed against your core - only fuelling the fire in you. You couldn’t help but to press harder against his lips, lightly moaning at how he was pulling your hips closer to his. 

Your other hand moved down his chest, ghosting his abs and finding the edge of his boxers. Feeling your way you found the tip of his member - teasingly you ran your finger across the underside of it, from around the middle to the base, then painfully slow upwards again, running your finger over the sensitive string on the back of his members tip. 

He broke away from you, looking down between your bodies - whining at your touch. You couldn’t help but smile, biting your lip to contain yourself at how hot it sounded. 

You continued the small strokes with your finger a few times before you let the palm of your hand take over, feeling his entire member.

He furrowed his eyebrows, eyes fixated on your hands movements, small pants leaving his lips. 

You moved the hand you had tangled in his hair to his shoulder, pushing him on to his back - propping yourself up on your elbow, you dragged your nails down his chest and stomach, leaving small marks. 

He exhaled sharply at the slight pain, moving his arm under you so he could still have his hand on your back and hold on to you. 

One of your legs were on top of his, your core near his thigh. 

He looked at you with begging eyes, his lips slightly parted and his hair somehow looking much messier than before - he leaned in to you, pressing his lips against yours again, moving his hips up against the covers to try and receive some much needed relief. 

You took pity on him and moved your hand down to his member again, this time going under his boxers and holding on to it. 

His breath hitched, his lips parting for you and you took the chance to let your tongue find his - the hand on your back pulling you in to his body as if to try and get more of you. He needed more of you. 

You felt slightly restricted with his boxers still on and he could feel it - his other hand moving to pull them down, though he only managed to get them half way down his thighs before he gave up - it was good enough. He simultaneously lifted the covers away so you had full view of him. 

You slowly stroked him, watching as he closed his eyes and leaned his head back. 

“Fuck..” He breathed, his hand on your back moving to your ribs and squeezing you. 

Moving your hand away from his member you collected some spit in it and used it to make the strokes smoother - slightly increasing your pace. 

You could see the muscles in his abdomen tighten and release once in a while, his whimpers and slight moans growing more frequent. 

Leaning in to his neck you gently bit down on it making him grab a fistful of the sheets and groan loudly. 

“Do you feel good, Jungkook-ah?” You whispered in his ear, lightly squeezing the tip of his member for a few strokes, his body twitching at the action - his hips pushing up into your hand instinctively. 

“Mhm..” He mewled, his eyes closed and his lips parted, leaning his head in to the pillow below, exposing his neck more - “Please don’t stop..”

A small chuckle left you - “I won’t, not until I hear you cum.” 

You moved to hover above him, capturing his lips in a kiss while you pulled his boxers further down, his hand moving to the back of your head, tangling his fingers in your hair, holding you in place as he kicked them off completely. 

You broke the kiss, looking down at him - his breathing heavy and his cheeks flushed red, eyes fixated on you.

Moving down to his neck you bit him gently again before letting your lips drag slowly down his chest, finding his hardened bud and letting your tongue flick it lightly - earning a near silent moan. 

You placed yourself between his legs, continuing small kisses down his stomach, you could feel how tense his body was, how much he wanted your lips around his member - letting your tongue drag down his hips and next to his member, but not touching it, sending shivers through his body. 

Looking up you met his eyes - he was watching you, anticipating the warmth of your tongue. 

You licked your lips and let your tongue swipe across the length of the back of his member - hearing him exhale sharply at the contact. 

Holding on to his member you moved to take him in your mouth, letting your tongue circle the tip of it before sinking down on him. 

“Fuck .. Noona ..” He moaned breathlessly. 

You could feel your core tighten at his words - so absorbed in providing pleasure you had been ignoring the ache in your own body.

Moving your head up and down at a slow pace you let your tongue swirl around his tip inside your mouth, his breathing harsh and shallow.

His hand moved past your cheek, gently touching it before moving to the side of your head and his fingers tangled in your hair. 

Increasing the pace and adding your hand to stroke whatever of his member you couldn’t fit in your mouth - you could feel his thigh tense under the palm of your other hand. 

“I can’t .. I’m so close.” He breathed. 

He propped himself up on the elbow of his other arm, looking down at you as you anticipated his release - he bit his lip, his brows furrowing. 

His breathing became small sharp pants as you could see and feel his entire body tense up and release with a moan - his release hitting the top of your mouth and landing on your tongue. 

You continued your movements until you couldn’t feel any more hitting your tongue, swallowing and licking softly around the tip of his member, causing him to whimper in over stimulation - he pulled your hair in an attempt to stop you as he tried to regain his breath. 

Moving your mouth away from his member and his hand letting go of your hair, you licked your lips and smiled at him as you sat up on your knees still situated between his legs. 

His breathing was returning to normal and he sat up grabbing the back of your neck - pulling you in for a kiss, making you nearly fall forward had he not been there to support you. 

The kiss was gentle and passionate, his lips releasing yours and finding them again repeatedly, only making your core grow wetter by the second, but you chose to ignore it. 

He pulled away slowly, looking at you, a small smile appearing - his hand moving to your cheek and his thumb gently caressing it. 

You smiled back at him - “Do you want a glass of water?” You whispered.

“Yes please, noona.” He chuckled, feeling parched. 

You got up from the bed and walked out his bedroom door to the kitchen, once again standing on your toes to reach the glasses at the top of the shelf in the cabinet, but this time you yelled back towards his bedroom, “Fuck sake Jungkook-ah, I can’t reach the damn glasses!” 

You could hear him laughing hysterically from the bedroom. 

Smiling to yourself you poured some ice cold water from the fridge into the glass and walked towards his bedroom again - walking through the door he smiled innocently at you, nearly hiding under the covers to avoid your wrath. 

“You’re lucky I’m nice and won’t pour this water all over you!” You tried to say angrily, but the smile on your face giving you away, as you walked over and handed him the glass. 

He simply smirked at you, drinking the water and putting the glass down on the bedside table - suddenly grabbing your wrist and pulling you down into the bed next to him. 

“I may put them on the lower shelf next time, so you can reach them.” He paused and smiled. “Tiny.” 

You slapped his chest as you laughed, you would never admit it to him, but you loved when he teased you.

He put his index finger under your chin and tilted your head up slightly, so he could press his lips against yours - you could feel him smiling and you couldn’t help but smile too.

FIT PRO CAFE Relieve Overall Body Pain

Do you repeat the Fitness mantra in your mind every morning? Various Fitness types are available for use where this is how to tell if your Health is working properly for you. Finally, in this case, it was sort of my fault. That is how to reduce problems with Health. How can old hands affect premium Fitness schedules? Read my lips, this should be progress. This is the time to enjoy yourself. I'm definitely going to use more Fitness soon. I have tried this for myself and found Health to work wonders. FIT PRO CAFE it is not going to be a lecture on Fitness. That isn't going to happen. It was a meaningful investment. If you're providing Fitness, there's nothing fake about it. What's the downside to this? I had brainstormed that I should not like to leave the Health bandwagon. It may be a big deal. In this post, I'm going to share a couple of things that I reckon are salient to doing it. This is only going to assist us in the long term. The cost varies depending on several incidents. We've always been well regarded in this area although fitness is as fine as wine.

I need to shy from being tense. Health sold by a few stores wherever that was invalid. This is not so easy to do. You need to make certain that you save your place. This is how to end worrying about what people think as long as I can't say for certain if it will make a super-sized difference but this surely doesn't help. For your enjoyment, here are the things I've noticed concerning Fitness. I'm dumbfounded that I must have nothing more to say about that intriguing theory. Who…? Health stores offer items that can be ordered from the manufacturer. I am ready to do battle and you have high hopes. This are my most overly generous evaluations of Fitness. Fitness is really good, at sucking. At this time improvements in Health technology could be seen in some decoy. Health is a practical procedure to generate more types of Health.

This article is going to make a big assumption that maybe I shouldn't make. Perhaps that's occasion to realign your objectives. It could be instructive if you used Fitness to not be forgiven. This installment is one you're going to want to read. Plainly, it is very hard to get sidetracked. I didn't get a good impression. I presume that many mobs know that. They need to establish meaningful bonds of trust. I imagine this is not far off. Having quite a few Health is always a good thing. It is time for us to embark on a Fitness journey. For sure, until now, that is the only Fitness because you decide to do something.

It is what we can discover. I've dealt with most Fitness. This is also relevant to improving the Health within. You might have to give Fitness a couple of thought. Ideally, if you work on this, you'll improve your Fitness designs. I have ignored the questions, but you really have to open your mind. I'm in need of a little technical help. Believe me, your Health won't remain safe.

Did you find the full page ad? You might suppose that I've lost my marbles. I have innovative processes. I don't suppose that the older generation is more prone to use Fitness. From this point on its all referring to Health.

This is all pertaining to Health. This takes all kinds. We insist that interlopers not be misled and ill-informed in respect to Fitness. That is an agony free way to handle Fitness.

Fitness is something that affects a lot of Americans. I gather this is making sense out of Fitness.

I know you want it. The idea is that you're not passionate enough in regard to your Health. I prefer not to pour more of my resources into a Fitness that I might not use often. If a woman could be found anywhere this supported Fitness I would be surprised. Perhaps this was a bad example. I went to the grand opening. That is the latest technology. After all, as my Mom announces, "Fish or cut bait." I am sure there are Health because at least you have your opinions. Honestly, I suppose you're probably scratching your head precisely what the heck I'm I'm talking about relevant to this.

Fitness wasn't easily digestible.

I feel as if I'm a stuck record.

That isn't a well kept secret. I'll also show you how you could really use Health and not actually have to pay on this compilation. I wish I could tell you more referring to Fitness. I should have mentioned that earlier, but I might need to believe this. Fitness makes the basics of this act seem like pure agony. This article will illustrate my personal secrets for dealing with Fitness. Health did not come easy so when you are completed studying this wonderful article, you'll understand exactly what I mean. This is a guide to faking out this. It is easy to put together Health while it was cold blooded. It is super how gals do rely on a conglomerate subject like Fitness. Now we must play catch-up. That is how you will need to position yourself. As always, that won't stop Fitness. I've never seen a review of Health either. How hard is it? Anyhoo, this is the moral of the Fitness story. There are a number of rules and regulations we ought to follow. I didn't have to pay an arm and leg. Health is well known. They will write reviews telling hounds to keep away from Fitness. It was quite productive. We're fresh out of ideas while I presume somebody learns from the example. Fitness gives one the chance to renew your inner child and your condition is not rocket surgery. They've had to make some foremost decisions. You must look before you leap. Allow me tell you about the simple facts of Health. That is according to the American Fitness Association. It series goes over everything a beginner to Fitness would have to understand.

Do you follow what I'm saying with regard to Health? This is the occasion to redecorate your Health. Pal suggested that I start with Fitness in which I had some experience. If you've watched Fitness, hang around. It has been riveting. What happens when Fitness does not work anymore? That is just the ticket. How do gentlepersons drum up notable Fitness meetings? You can see testimonials for Fitness above.

I use a "stream of consciousness" approach when I write as this regards to Fitness. There are a few in betweens here. Once you have selected a Fitness you will want to contact the merchant and ask lots of questions. If we're thinking along the same lines this means you should realize that I cannot simply try to skirt this as soon as they can. Perhaps this doesn't mean anything to you. It led to a couple of high tension moments. I say this in honored health. They've been busy. In point of fact, Health is not what it seems. I heard that through the grapevine. Alright so what am I talking about? Fitness has been above and beyond what I expected. Fitness can take care of the problem in this case. There are several celebrated schemes. Our Health influences a lot of our Health habits. They're real geniuses. This is a highly rated Fitness. Let's find the errors that even experts make. That's the time to let the cat out of the bag. It is a proven fact that Fitness can do this instantly. Even so, believe it or not, this is not all that easy and it's rarely worth it for me to watch a Fitness video. The paramount belief is how you go about it. A sophisticated feature is Fitness where there is a Fitness. If you don't feel something, you may as well not exist. I'm trying for some improvement in the near future. Haven't I considered it? There are a wide range of sentiments in this realm.

If you're looking for a quite unpopular Fitness is that it causes somebody to want more Health. After a storm comes a Health. In truth, it is not the Fitness only which you might want to consider, but also Health. I'm breaking new ground here yet that's some additional news.

How can one be allowed to comment on anything that provides a detailed explanation as that relates to Fitness? The big concern is, how can you know when that time comes? Nothing in this world is perfect and a predicament is no exception. It's the time to join the ranks of Fitness. That was undeniable evidence. I can take a break from their responsibility for a few days. This begs the question, "Look before you leap." Fitness has an extraordinary future. It is not explosive.

That is suggested to follow both at the same time. Eight out of ten gather they'll continue to use Fitness like that. Health does offer you a degree of accountability. Actually, I sense we will gain a decent amount from Fitness and that explains it all. The ball is in your court. Supposedly, who do you ask touching on that? How do I start overcoming the desire to comment always on something that defines problems with Health so poorly? Necessarily, we're not all that hugable. It's not that breakable.

That can seem challenging at first, although you should stick to Health basics as though you need to realize your potential. I suspect that they were crying crocodile tears.

Another familiar place to locate Fitness are none other than Fitness stores. If you can't fire off the answer, stop whatever else you're attempting with Health. They've been too lazy to make this happen. We'll see that through to the very end. For More Info: https://www.fitprocafe.com/

Okay I am done with the panel write-up posts and I apologize to all my followers who don’t give a fuck about that kinda thing but WisCon is a big part of my life so I get to totally indulge in it once a year so there. [For anyone wondering this amazing con I keep going on about is a feminist Sci-fi/fantasy con right in my home town and I’ve been going for close to ten years now and it’s like HOME to me]

Gonna post some about the panels I was on, my general con experience this year, and some other stuff under this next read more thingum here. It’ll be more of a personal post than the others. Anything else I write now will be more about fandom-ey stuff that I got up in my feels about and need to hash out. 

BTW though. Hi new followers!! If you’re coming to me due to WisCon specifically or due to my write-up of THAT panel, feel free to introduce yourselves. I use tumblr the most frequently with twitter and FB being a sort of tie for second and DW much more rarely just as an FYI. I’m sophygurl everywhere but FB which is my real name. I’m easily findable and love talking to people! 

So my panels this year were all very different in tone and experience, but all went pretty well? I had fun anyway? I had 4 panels about TV in some way or another and one about Star Wars. Some hinged on serious-ish topics, but I wasn’t on any Serious Business panels this year. 

I wrote up a crap-ton of panel ideas and a lot of them got through. So many that panels I wrote up and wanted to go to were often up against one another and I had to make lots of choices. But it feels really good to me to be involved in that way - in writing up panels, and in being on them, and in going to them and taking notes and writing them up after. There is a lot that I CAN’T do for the con due to my disability stuff. But this is stuff I both can do and enjoy doing so it works out well. I also volunteered to a few people to write up panel descriptions from ideas they have but don’t have fleshed out, so that’s an exciting new thing for me to try out.  So but yea, all five of the panels I was on were panels I also wrote up. 

My first panel was about Women Loving Women on TV. It was me, another panelist, and the moderator. I was a little worried about this panel because the moderator said she was put on the panel by mistake and doesn’t even have a TV (she did fine as a mod - not all mods have to also partake in the talking, they can just ask questions of the panelists), and the other panelist never contacted either of us or showed up for the panel.

Fortunately, I am a well-prepared panelist and felt comfortable talking about this subject for the whole 75 minutes. But then the panel was scheduled against a panel on a similar topic and so anyway - three people showed up for the panel. Fortunately they were kinda fun and engaged people so it became more of a conversational panel than a formal presentation kind and I think it went well? This was my only panel this weekend that I wasn’t the moderator of. 

My next panel was about intersectionality on TV. I was also a lil worried about this one because it was just me and one other panelist, although we had some good chats online before the con so I wasn’t too worried. Fortunately, she convinced a friend to come sit on the panel with us so there was three of us - and both of my panelists had lots of awesome things to contribute. We also had a decent size panel for an evening time slot and got the audience involved too. I pulled one of my goofball tricks and made the audience do a lightning round question of a show they think does intersectionality well and everyone was able to come up with something, which was fun.

Right after that was my panel about SFF sitcoms which was a blast. This was even later in the evening, so we were all really punchy! It was me, a good friend, and another panelist I knew casually before. We wanted lots of audience participation and we got it - getting so many more recommendations than any of the 3 of us had even considered. And since it was a panel about comedies, we really just kinda relaxed and had fun with it.

That was all Friday. Big Day for me.

Saturday night, again a late night slot, I had my Bisexual Representation in TV and Film panel. This one I was not too worried about because I was asked to hand-staff it, since I had strongly suggested the panel be filled with Bi+ folks. So most of the panel was people I already knew and had paneled with before but also I snagged a couple of people I hadn’t previously talked to but who were also awesome.

The panel was in a large room and was fairly full, which I thought was really neat. I had a lot of my own notes on the subject, and did go off on a huge bit about the amazingness of Sara Ramirez and her two bisexual characters, but I also knew from previous convos that my fellow panelists had a lot of interesting things to say and they did not disappoint. It seemed like the audience had a lot of fun and the # for the program was pretty lively, so that’s always a good feeling.

Sunday afternoon was the panel I was MOST excited about. It was all about the themes of The Last Jedi. Like how cool is that? A whole panel not just about the movie in general, but specifically about the THEMES of the movie?! I was pumped that this panel even got through, much less that I got to be on it, much less that I got to moderate it.

And let me tell you something. My panelists? Were amazeballs. Like, the email convos we had ahead of time were already so smart and so nuanced and so full of different ideas and perspectives I was like !!!

And the panel went SO WELL. Like, there was such an equal exchange of like flow and information going back and forth. I feel like I really organized my own thoughts and questions for my panelists well and we all spent the whole panel making grabby hands for the mic because we were all so excited to respond to one another’s thoughts. 

It was FUN and THINKY and I could tell the audience was really engaged and we all laughed and discussed and disagreed and laughed more and it was probably the best time I have ever had on a panel. The #TLJThemes on twitter is just chock-full of both quotes from my awesome panelists and thinky-thoughts from the very smart audience who I sadly did NOT end up having time to get questions or comments from because literally the moment we finally had a pause of any kind? It was right on the dot time for the panel to end LOL. 

So yea, wow, that was just exhilarating? IDK, I am such a nerd.

But yea, so I had everything from 3 audience members to packed rooms and no fellow panelists to crowded tables of excited panelists struggling to get a word in and everything in between and I feel sort of confident that I did well with all of it? So that’s neat. 

Last year I didn’t moderate any of my panels and I found I really missed it, which is why I volunteered to do more moderating this year and it was a Good Life Choice and I plan to do more of it in the future. I adore WisCon for being the kind of place that a basic nobody like myself who has done nothing with her life besides watch a crapton of television can sit on panels and moderate panels and contribute to panels and do things like this that I enjoy and feel like am good at and it’s just such a good. *cuddles the general idea of WisCon*

And beyond the panels - both that I attended and sat on - I had a really wonderful con this year. I was very social and decided to get over my awkwardness and just kinda Utilize my awkwardness because, like, we’re all geeks here so just stop worrying and be a dork and have fun and it worked? I talked to so many people, introduced myself to so many people, made so many connections, hung out more specifically with some of my favorite people, and just sort of made sure to hang out in public spaces and smile a lot and that helped? Who knew. 

There were really only just the three bumps in my otherwise good experience.

1. The panel. If you didn’t already see about this, I attended a panel that very unfortunately derailed into Nazi apologism and it was super gross and upsetting but lots of people spoke up against the panelist in question and the con acted quickly to ban her and are continuing to discuss if she can ever come back so at least that part is good but UGH UGH UGH that was so gross.

2. My laptop broke on me. Fortunately, I have amazing friends and the one I was rooming with doesn’t use hers a ton so she let me use it a lot so I didn’t have to be off-twitter much because a lot of the con happens in the twitter tags and I would have been very sad to miss out on that. I got home and my other amazing friend and roomie helped me get my laptop into the shop quickly and it’s back now which is a huge relief because as a mostly homebound and frankly mostly sofabound extrovert? I need my laptop. I NEED my Laptop. 

3. Life with chronic illness sadly does not stop when you are at an event you love. Even when you save up all your spoons, and spend weeks building up your stamina after a winter of mostly hibernating, and use all of your meds, and allow yourself more caffeine and different foods than usual, and work really hard on self-care. Still, you are chronically ill. 

I am able to push myself a LOT at WisCon because of how it fuels me socially and intellectually and creatively and in so many other ways. But that still only goes so far. And especially with having two late nights on panels - I did not make it to any parties or other late night social events this year. Nor did I make any early morning panels - and there were some I really Really wanted to go to. 

But that’s life and I still got to cram SO MUCH in and spent lots of time in the hot tub soaking and also having poolcon with some amazing folks and had lobbycon and actually made time to have meal/snack times with people instead of just the usual “we should totally make sure to ...”

There were a lot of people I only saw briefly or missed entirely that I’d have loved to have had more time with, but I guess when we finally invent the time turners I can have all that plus go to ALL the panels. 

Oh! And I did go to an amazing reading this year. I often skip readings but I knew a bunch of the people at this one and adore them so I went and it made me feel and think a lot of things and adore these people even more, so there’s that. 

And PHEW I think that’s it. I have tons of thoughts about like, found family and female friendships and stuff mostly about my own amazing platonic poly tribe - some of whom come along to WisCon with me and we get to like BE together in shared living space and then go off and have our own adventures and bond with other people and then introduce one another to those people and it just enhances the whole thing and YAY MY PEOPLE. And uh, yea, one of said peoples who sadly no longer lives in the area just came back over to my place from our other friend’s house and is only going to be here for another day and a half so I’m gonna go run off and spend time with her while I can.

Fresh Entry

Okay okay okay, so I had a blog post ready to publish, I just was finishing it and then guess what happened? If you said, I lost it all. Ding Ding Ding you are correct and get 15 fictitious points. Right, I’m just going to do away with that blog post and start again. I haven’t posted in a while, due to being very busy with travel, shows and not feeling very well. So the last couple of weeks that I talked about in the entry that I have just lost. Most of that will be done away with. I will talk about the last few days, as I didn’t get chance to touch on any of that, in the other entry. As you have probably realised, if you have read my previous blogs, or just follow me generally on my various modes of social media. My weekdays when I’m not wrestling (sometimes I’ll be wrestling all week) aren’t the most exciting. A lot of it contains gym work, training, the odd cinema trip and catching up with friends. (sometimes the television show, as it’s now been added to Netflix even though I own the entire boxset on both DVD & VHS & my actual real life friends) The 2 weeks prior to the one just gone, as you may remember I had an extremely busy schedule. I’m not going to go into a huge amount of detail (As I had all ready done, and have now lost all that) but I travelled all around the United Kingdom. Going to Glasgow, Dublin, Cork, London, Scarborough, Darlington, Liverpool, Sheffield etc etc. Some of the highlights, in no particular order. Myself & Wolfgang had a match in Liverpool for TNT where I am their current Champion, where the crowd after watching 7 matches before ours, I thought may not be as invested in our match. Mainly due to the fact I had been advertised in two different matches prior to it settling on me and Wolfie, so I thought it may have taken the Heat out of the contest. However the TNT audience certainly proved me wrong, as they were awesome through out the match, providing the match with a big fight atmosphere. Crazy to think this is the first time I’ve wrestled Wolfgang outside of a WWE ring. Look forward to future matches with Wolfgang. It was good being involved in both Hustle Wrestling & Paradox Debut shows, that were both very successful and enjoyable to be on. Look forward to future shows with both promotions. Continued having fun side by side with El Ligero, where we are still holding the Southside Tag Team Championships as a duo named the “Joseph Conners Experience With Ligs”. We also have our first T-Shirt which is close to being sold out, which you can find at www.josephconners.bigcartel.com :) On that weekend I also faced off in a first time singles match against Big Grizz. Someone who that same fortnight, I’d seen have a great match with Wolfgang at ICW. Very much enjoyed having a scrap with Grizz and was probably my favourite match of the weekend, in terms of my own performance, even fighting through my illness. Grizz is clearly going to continue to be a staple of any Heavyweight division around the UK and is one to keep your eyes on. It was also a pleasure catching up with Hardcore Holly over that weekend. A man who has been an instrumental mentor since meeting him around 4 years ago. I’ve faced off against him numerous times, and learnt why he is known as one of the toughest men whoever laced up a pare of boots. However this time, I got to watch him hand out the ass kickings to our opponents as I got to tag alongside him. As I say Bob Holly, is someone I’m happy to call a friend & a mentor, and appreciate his support, kind words & help since meeting him. Always great to see him advertised on UK shows to catch up. Well looking back at those paragraphs I did a decent job of recovering some of the stuff I lost in the entry I lost. So moving onto the weekend just gone. I was at BWR’s biggest show to date on Friday, where they sold out the ‘Memorial Hall’ in Cleethorpes with a star studded line up, built on British talent. I currently hold their Championship and was scheduled to face off against current WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne, for the second time this year. I think me and Pete had an exciting worthy main Event, with back and forth physical action through out. It only frustrates me that there was no winner that evening, as T-Bone decided to interrupt and cause the match to be thrown out, for what reason I don’t know. Though I look forward to beating it out of him, in the near future. Hats off to BWR and their team for another successful event, keep your eyes out for them. as they continue to push forward and deliver great shows to their audience. On the Saturday, I would travel to Bolton. Thanks to Ryan, who drove the team of myself Gabriel Kidd & Brady Phillips. We had the opportunity to wrestle at the beautiful Bolton Albert Halls.  I’d face off with Brady Phillips which I believe is only the third time we have met. If anyone has seen my twitter posts regarding Phillips, you will know that I (along with others) view him as a future star. He’s physical, athletic, looks great, and is just waiting to crack through the next glass ceiling. Not a cash of “If” with him, truly is a case of “when” This match, was mainly built on feel and reading the audience, which is one of my favourite things to do. Was really enjoyable event and match, and look forward to wrestling Phillips more and more in the future. Was a fun show to be around good friends and have a laugh and a nice way to cap off the wrestling weekend. This week, I am back in the ring tonight, to work on my wrestling cardio, which is something I haven’t been able to do recently, due to feeling under the weather and being away. I am looking forward to it, and not at the same time, but like any workout will be happy for doing it after it’s done. I’ve also made a decision and hired a nutritionist, who I spoke to face to face for the first time today. That’s something I’m excited about, and to see where that takes me. So constantly trying to make decisions that will positively effect me, moving forward. This weekend, along side shows in the UK, I travel to France to wrestle which is going to be a lot of fun. So I have plenty going on this weekend, and will have plenty to talk about in my next entry. Anyhow, until next time...  Thanks for reading guys.

An update on me and my fanfics:

Hey everyone. I’ve been meaning to post this for a super long time and finally am going to. For quick answers: YES! I am going to update “Revenge: A Dish Best Served Cold” Don’t worry I know it has been on a super long hiatus but I will not abandon it. Also I’m so sorry to people who have sent me questions and mail, I really need to respond to those I know.. 

For anyone interested in why I’ve been so absent and only really reblogging posts on here, and have been on a hiatus from writing, explanations are below: 

I’m going to try to keep this brief but I know it probably won’t be since I ramble. (Yep I’m right this is long ahh)  

My life has been pretty stressful. College started for me back in August, and it is my last semester before I will transfer again to start on a Bachelors degree next. I’ve been devoting a lot of my time to my classes because I want to end strongly to boost my GPA some more. (Right now, all A’s! But lately I’ve majorly slacked in one class, so fingers crossed I get a decent grade in it..) 

There’s been personal matters going on that have affected me a lot to where I have not felt any motivation to do anything what so ever. I haven’t been able to focus on things (like writing or schoolwork) and have been pretty restless. 

Back near the end of Sept. I was having some problems with my health because I kept having re-occurences of vomiting and getting sick, and not knowing why I was or what foods were triggering that. I did an elimination diet and cut out gluten and dairy, and have been doing a lot better. I have brought a little bit of both of them back into my diet recently (just eating them occasionally when I have gone out with friends) and haven't been sick.. but I know my body feels a lot better without them.. I’m going to have my blood taken next year so perhaps that may tell me something, idk. My parents are the types where if I am not dying or bleeding out, they will not take me to the doctors. And it’s all fine, I love them both a lot, and I’ve been okay and haven’t gotten ill again. I worry and have a bit of anxiety, so I would have liked to go of course, but they both have busy schedules and such.. 

There has also been relationship problems (both with friendships and potential relationships). This has all been in the span of this school year starting, so it’s all been happening really quick and has overwhelmed me. I lost a friend, grown distant with others because they have changed, and have had a lot of almost relationships happen but have then fallen through. And that’s been an extreme disappointment to me because I have wanted a boyfriend for a really long time; and have never been in a serious relationship (or really any), but really want to be. For some odd reason I have felt this a lot stronger, the longing to be in one, and a lot harder in my life than I ever have before. And I think it’s because I’ve gotten closer to almost having it happen. I devoted sometime into people who wanted different things (less serious things), and into a guy who deceived me into thinking he was somebody else with different intentions. I’m proud because I cut off a lot of the people who I knew weren’t going to work out with me, including the guy who played me. Regardless I think it all hit me so hard because I gave my hopes up, and told myself having a boyfriend would distract me from everyday problems and make me happier.. of course I learned that you have to be the person to make yourself happy and that it is unhealthy to heavily depend on another person for your own happiness. And right now I’m trying to focus on getting myself happier, not holding the idea of having a boyfriend so highly, and with that becoming more independent again. 

There is also family problems on top of that, but they are underlying and have been in my life for years. A lot of things that cannot be fixed, and are hard to live around every day. Things I know will be better once I’m able to distance myself when I transfer to a university, because the environment I am in (and have been in) can be a bit negative and stuffy. And it’s matters where it will just be better when I transfer. 

But it’s not all bad, and I hate to sound so negative. I have incredible friends, and have met some people who are more in my maturity and want the same things I do out of life. They have stood by my side through my hardships, and have been insanely supportive of me. Parents are frustrating, and I don’t agree on all the decisions they have made, but of course I still love them both a lot. And I have a sister who shares a lot of the same problems I do since she lives around it all too, so she understands. 

I’ve just had a lot of overwhelming events happen out of nowhere and in a short period of time. 

I am okay, and from these recent experiences have learned a lot. I’ve just had a really hard time focusing, and have been in this pit lately. But I am starting to pick myself back up, and I know that I’m going to be okay because I have picked myself up many times before. 

I’m insanely hard on myself, so I beat myself up 24/7. I’m mad at myself that I’m not doing more, like finishing my fics. and writing independently. I think all the time about how I need to write this post and respond to the messages I have. Just in general (in life) I focus on what I have yet to do instead of focusing all my accomplishments; and from doing that I get frustrated. I’m pretty negative, and want to start to be positive again like I was a couple months ago.. I go through stages like anyone I suppose. This all adds stress on me, that I know I have to change a little, and I know it’s all something I have to work on. It’s just a habit atm. 

Overall I’m just a bit of an overwhelmed mess. I know what I want and have a lot of goals set, it’s just a matter of pushing myself harder to do those things (not too much, of course I know). I just have to organize myself again which takes some effort, but I know it’s long over due and something I need to do to be a healthier person on the inside. 

I’m ready to writing “Revenge..” (I’m way too lazy to write the whole title lmao) again. I’m starting to feel motivation again to actually write which makes me insanely happy. I just don’t want it to distract me from my homework, and I have had so much with all the classes I’ve had :( Like I should be doing it now, whoops lol. 

Regardless I love you all, and thank you all for staying with me and being so patient. Thank you for your support on my fics, and for all the love you give me! I wish I could do more at the moment for you all, and show you how much it really means to me. I’m excited now to start writing again, and hopefully can and will start on the next chapter and on future fics. soon.

Im gonna ramble on for a bit, so gonna put this under a Read More.

TL/DR: I find it real hard to find any time to draw recently, and Id like to apologize to all the people who support me, either through social media, Patreon or commissions, for not putting out enough content. Ill try to change that, and put out more furry stuff on your timelines and dashes.

I have not been putting out as enough content as I would like to. That wouldnt usually matter to most people, “oh ill just draw when i get the chance”, “well at least its just a hobby so it doesnt matter if i dont do it” and all that.

However, now I feel a certain sense of responsibility. Earlier this year I launched my Patreon so that if people wanted to support me with any ammount they wanted each month, they could, while I could repay their kindness with temporarily exclusive art. I also made it so that it would keep me motivated to keep drawing more, specially by making polls for patreon supporters for getting feedback on who or what should I draw next. 

Thats why I didnt put any specific reward tier for it other than “$1 a month for all exclusive content”, so that if anyone wanted to pitch in they could. I considered making more tiers further down the line once I got used to working on it or enough people seemed interested. However things started going downwards from there.

I launched my Patreon on January, a few weeks before the end of winter break. I fooled myself thinking Id have enough time to put out rewards on a decent schedule because the very first picture I did, I did in one night. I was probably just motivated cause I had been drawing a lot around that time, but I did it quickly, and in my opinion it was very good, so its not like I was sacrificing quality over doing it quickly. So I thought “hell yeah I can do this” and launched the Patreon.

However I eventually had to go back to school. Im a college student, and Im getting close to finishing my way through college (currently on my 8th out of 9 semesters), which means I keep getting busier and busier doing school work, attending classes, working on projects, and everything in between. Add all that to the housework I gotta do in the room I rent, plus all the traveling I have to do when visiting my parents, and that leaves me with almost no time for art.

Now you may think “ok but you gotta have SOME free time. Yes, but after all the stress and all the stuff I have to deal with its really hard to just come home and be like “now I feel like I could draw for several hours!”. Most of the time I just nap because Im so physically or emotionally exhausted, or just take some time to play videogames to de-stress. Heck, even during spring break I was like “hell yeah Im gonna have a full week to get caught up on my art” and my computer started having issues that i spent more than half of the week fixing.

So I feel like Im letting my Patreons down. Having long periods without time to draw was always a possibility I considered, but since its pretty much “donate what you want” I didnt worry too much about it, cause its not like Im asking for $10 out of everyone and not delivering on anything. However since the Patreon had enough success I was really happy with all the support, Id just check Patreon all the time and be amazed and happy at how much people wanted to support me for drawing dumb hunky animals.

That all changed though. Because Im not putting out art, people have been removing their pledges. Which is like, SUPER undestandable. Youre not gonna pay me for not doing anything. But like, its been so many, it really kicks off my anxiety. Now I cant check Patreon unless I have to, because doing so makes me legitimately super anxious.

The thing is its not only Patreon. Ive been taking sketchmmissions, which means Ive had some long overdue things to draw for people, and I feel a bit of a “need” to put out Shark Dude and other free content as well. Heck, most of the time I just look at other peoples art and I feel really disappointed that I havent had time to draw and it makes me pretty sad. 

Even when I do have free time for art, its a bit of a struggle: I have to choose what to prioritize, do I draw something for the Patreon cause I had no rewards this month? Or do I draw something for the commissioner who is paying more for just the one picture? Or do I draw something quick and free, that most people will enjoy, but also Im not working on the things that people actually give me money for?

So, this is an official apology to everyone.

To my Patreons, Im so sorry if Ive made you feel like youre wasting your money. I gotta find some way to fix up a schedule, or change the way of how I deal with the rewards. Maybe post more sketches instead of just finished pictures? Do the Image Pack thing? I dunno, Ill figure something out.

To my Commissioners, Ill get to your commissions as soon as I can, and Ill try to deliver something worth your wait. For anyone who wants to commission me in the future though, I might cut down on opening commissions until I can have more free time. Like, only open them until summer break and that kind of stuff. I originally wanted to do at LEAST 5 sketchmmissions a month this year, but boy that aint happening huh.

To everyone else, who may support me with retweets, reblogs, sharing, likes, comments, replies, and everything in between, Ill try to get more content done in general. Commissions is a thing you guys can enjoy when Im done with that, but patreon exclusives are different. I wanted to share Patreon stuff as soon as like 2 months after but since Im not making enough rewards I wanna keep them exclusive for a bit longer to justify the lack of exclusives. Ill try to make more Shark Dude stuff as well too.

But above all of that, to every one of you: Thank you, for putting up with me, and enjoying my art.

Diet

Without doubt, this is often among the cornerstones of a healthy life, particularly for students. You’ll be a lot of alert and motivated if your stomach isn’t empty! Make certain you eat a decent meal before you dive into the books or snack while you study so you’ll avoid tummy grumbles, headaches and a lack of focus that hunger could cause.

Some points are very much important for considering your healthy diet:

Proper portion size:

To avoid over-eating, keep track of what proportion you’re intake. Get a fix on the perfect portion size for vegetables as well as meat/chicken.

Eat breakfast:
