I'm training myself for digital marketing for my future business by making some graphic designs from canva. And today I made a book cover.

It took me a whole day to make this akskkdkfajjsk the tree branches are supposed to represent gold tree but when I changed the color to gold the branches look too garish and ugly. Finding the elements to fill the design is also really hard. Some even clashed horribly with the overall design so I had to redo the whole thing. And not to mention the coloring. I just wing it, guessing the base color combinations that will look good then play around with filters to make the overall design look cohesive. It may not look like the designs from those pros, but at least I know how to use canva now

My first ever digital art and of course it had to be none other than my beloved James & Lily ✨

Loosely inspired by this picture of Jess & Rory from Gilmore Girls

Had hours to kill on a plane and the full EPIC: The Musical downloaded on my phone so… Stage production concepts:

Ten pic maximum so will add a couple more in a reblog. Full disclosure, my memory is terrible so if there is any similarity to existing art/anything it’s purely accidental but feel free to mention it!

The idea is that the clouds/foliage are permanent, hollow and made of translucent paper so it can change colour with light (or something idk). Boat rotates, moving circle on bottom also. The lighting bolts have lights so during storms and Zeus parts they can light up.

wait, the teacher makes every person's crit TAKE 20 minutes to finish? because I initially read it as you move on to the next person once it's been 20 minutes, but that's normal so that can't be what you're complaining about

homegirl set a timer on her phone for 20 minutes and made us talk about one singular piece for the entire 20 minutes. if we ran out of things to say and the timer was still going she would start calling on people and forcing them to nitpick until the timer ran out. literally traumatizing

Watched the latest Eddy Burback video "I hate my phone so I got rid of it" and immediately put a one hour timer on youtube and facebook, and a screentime reminder on my phone

I don't want to live like this. We don't have to live like this.

People be like "I forgot to respond to this message and it's been a week, I can't reply now!" meanwhile I'm out here pulling up Ao3 like "I don't care that these comments are 3 years old, I'm replying to them now."

Best way to get over tanking anxiety after a break is to grind trials you know like the back of your hand for mogtomes as the offtank and get more and more annoyed at how other people tank till you reach a point where you go fuck it i'll do it my damn self and hit tank stance the second you load in

Big fan of what I read in the thingy about plans for the exotic mission rotator, most of it sounds very solid to me

However

Since the focus seems to be on making the relevant exotic weapon craftable, do you think this makes it less likely we'll get whisper of the worm or zero hour back? Outbreak seems like it wouldnt be broken as a crafted but I cant imagine Whisper as crafted, that feels like a dangerous can of worms.

And also, as it seems unlikely Ada or Black Armory will have a story spotlight again, how would you feel about Niobe Labs getting reworked into an exotic mission, dropping craftable izanagi or le monarque, craftable black armory weapons, and then maybe some of those nifty modified foundry weapons but of the post-witch queen ones.

I thought about that too, specifically the potential to get Zero Hour and Whisper back with craftable Outbreak and Whisper. I really like the idea of craftable exotics with these missions and this idea would be the only real reason to bring back Zero Hour and Whisper. But how viable are they to be craftable is beyond me. I think in some way it might help, especially for Whisper, but on the other, it could make them too powerful, in this case for Outbreak. Balancing that would be incredibly difficult.

I'd like to see those missions returning however! Even if they don't want to make these weapons craftable. I just feel like they won't really bother going through that work if nothing of value can be added. A lot of people say that they want them back, but in reality they would not have much replayability without something to chase. They also might be too frustrating at this point; the Wicked Implement exotic mission being timed was a major point of frustration for a lot of people. But I would 100% enjoy seeing them back, with or without craftable exotics. In a way, it almost makes it more likely because at first it just made no sense to return those missions when the exotics are in the kiosk, but if they're going to be changed in some way, then it makes more sense. It's just on whether or not those two are viable for such a change.

Same thoughts on Ada and Black Armory. I think they did say at one point that they're looking into returning some old weapons, specifically Black Armory and Season of Dawn stuff, but so far we've not heard anything more about it. Your idea would be really cool. Reworking Niobe's Labs into a mission and adding a craftable Black Armory exotic would be really neat. No clue how likely that is to happen though; as of now, I'm thinking not very. But now that we know this stuff with exotic missions is possible, it's a neat possibility.

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.
