#and the procrastination strikes again

[bechloesupercorp]

Ah. Deep golden rays slipped through the curtains, accompanied by soft gusts of wind wafted through the open window, carrying the light hint of wildflower.

Bea might have horrible memories with Switzerland, but Ava was certain they could make better ones. She sighed contentedly, sagging into their mattress. God, she was so lucky. And with each passing day she felt luckier and luckier. 

Bea was still asleep, just an arm's reach away, blankets haphazardly thrown off in the middle of the night. Typically she'd be up by now, the sun nearing noon, but it had been a long few days. 

Ava's return, one final battle, and then finally settling back into their domesticity. Bea deserved the rest.

A quiet smile drew up the corners of her lips as she watched her lover's face, a crease forming between her eyebrows when she clocked the tension in Bea's expression. Ava reached out to gently rub at Bea's shoulders, hoping to ease the stress. 

Fire blazed beneath her fingertips. Fuck.

"Bea?" Her heart skyrocketed in her chest at the silence. She tugged at Bea’s shoulders, willing her to open her eyes. “Bea!” No dice. "Bea, wake up. Please, wake up!"

Ava watched in horror as Beatrice’s breathing faltered. No. 

Shaky hands yanked up Bea's sleep shirt, searching for a source. The only possibility was the slight gash on her back – the one Camila had patched while Ava was being shuttled off in the chaos. Ava's fingers grazed the cotton dressing, gasping a sharp inhale as it glowed. Divinium.

The adrenaline coursed through her limbs as she heaved Bea into her arms, running out the apartment. "Stay with me," she chanted over and over as she slipped Bea into the passenger seat of their Subaru, Bea's head rolled against her hand as she tried to strap her in. When they’d gotten it, Ava had tried to tease about the whole Subaru: The Ultimate Lesbian Car stereotype, but right now all she could do was be grateful for all-wheel-drive.

Ava set her phone on the dash, dial tone echoing as she started the car. 

"Ava?"

"Cam! Bea–" the words got stuck in her chest. "Get Jillian, there's divinium embedded in her wounds." 

Ava was torn off by the shuffle of the girl beside her as they ripped away from their sleepy town to Jillian's nearest lab. The windows were down, Ava hoping that it would reduce Bea's fever. 

Ava couldn't help but glance, Beatrice swaying with a handful of grunts, eyes glazed. She pressed on the gas as Bea blanched, sending them full speed.

Fresh wind whipped against Bea's face as she leaned. "Avaaaaa," she moaned. "It's too cold." Tremors quaked her frame, a pseudo chill from the fever. She jerkily went for the window button, missing it by a foot. “It’s okay Bea,” she tried to placate, trying to steady her trembling hands against the wheel. “You’re going to be okay.” “Hold on Bea.” — — —

Dirt flew behind the tires as she pulled up to the mansion. Ava scrambled out the door, stumbling to the other side as Jillian and their sisters ran out, gathering Bea into her arms, cold sweat soaking her sleep shirt.

“Ava?” Bea mumbled, eyes shut as she was jostled down the hall to the infirmary, still in Ava’s arms. “Where are we?” “We’re okay Bea, we’re getting you help,” Ava promised, angling them through a corner. The doctors rushed forward, readying to take their patient. Beatrice coughed, wheezing. “Ava? I’m scared.” The doctors ripped her out of her arms, disappearing through a heavy set of doors. 

“I’m here Bea!” Ava called, watching in despair. 

The doors swung shut behind them. Ava was alone. Then, like a promise to the air, she breathed. 

“I’m here.”

I am in complete denial that the semester starts next week. Doesn't help that I just got back from a week out of town. Gods help me, all I want to do is work on my Gravity Falls fic ideas and answer some long-ignored prompts, but it seems that shitty music theory memes and Canvas will be my life for the next few days.

A quick way for me to try out a new brush set I got! I decided to make an drawing to test it out! This was actually made in a couple of minute but sat around for days. (For reference, this was sitting in my drafts since November 13...) I got the brush set for an AU I was making at the time. This isn't for that AU mind you... Basically I drew this with the goal of trying to mimic how I think Kirby would draw! I like how it turned out since I don't really experiment with drawing with other styles... I really need to try out on drawing other art style than my own... (I'm really looking to replicate the OK K.O. style, it looks really fun!) I also used a semi-limited pallete of some of the default colors to really sell the small child's crayon drawing look.

Date Started: 11/12/2023

Sorry I didn't get my work done I spent hours thinking about it and it put me in a state of decision paralysis and I waited too long to get it done.

A WIP I didn’t end up having time to finish and I’m not sure when it’ll really be “IP” again sdkjfhsk, BUT since it’s still February 15th in some time zone somewhere, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM DOKJA!!

[ID: a digital sketch depicting several characters from Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, posing for a photo. A young Kim Dokja lays asleep in a hospital bed in the center of the frame. A slightly older Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung crowd his sides; on Kim Dokja’s right, Lee Gilyoung half-climbs onto the bed to rest his elbow on Kim Dokja’s shoulder, while on his left, Shin Yoosung kneels beside the bed and rests her hand on Kim Dokja’s arm. In front of her, Yoo Sangah rests her right arm on the foot of the bed, a somewhat wistful expression on her face as she kneels on one knee so as to not block the people behind her. Han Sooyoung stands behind the bed with her arms folded over the top, chewing a lollipop stick as she stares at the camera with a tired yet determined smile on her face. Finally, Lee Jihye stands in the right foreground, grinning at the camera and making a peace sign as she takes the picture. /end ID]

"oh, this time I'm going to prep everything so far in advance so I won't be stressed once classes start."

And every single semester that turns out to be a god damned lie.

my 2023 language goals ->

my target languages right now are german and korean and i've been kinda on the fence whether i should consider taking up another language. 2023 is going to be a rather busy year for me and unfortunately i just dont think i'll be able to squeeze it in. my current languages also really need work and some consistent studying, which i hope i will be able to achieve.

so with that out of the way!

• german (currently A2-B1) - not gonna lie i really need to focus on this language for personal reasons. i have to push myself some more and pick up more challenging books to read, immerse myself and plan an effective learning plan. i'm shooting for at least B2, maybe C1.

• korean (currently A0) - i'm going to a korean course and so far i'm happy with my progress! i also bought a grammar book designed specifically to repeat the material everyday so we will see how long i'll last. i hope i'll be around A1-A2 at the end of the year.

i'm giving up on making this essay sound nice. you're getting clunky statements with probably too many quotes thrown in there

I was just on a phone call with my sister and we were talking about some weird literary crap and I accidentally told her about my plans for the hs au fic 🫠

Then she told me to just write it and I was like "GIRL I'VE BEEN TRYING OKAY THE BRAIN JUICE ISN'T PUMPING"

Can you guys tell I pulled an all-nighter on multiple cups of super concentrated coffee

realizing that you were prescribed those antidepressants for a reason and that it wasn't just a fun little side quest. you have to take them or experience the consequences
