Sometimes being childish and letting our inner child to take over is the solution.🎶🎶🎧

Okay, so— like.

I’m doing drag queen/king camp this week and HOLY CRAP I did not realize the amount of thought and effort that goes into this work of art. Like, kudos to all the drag icons because it’s only day one and I’m scrambling to try and figure everything out.

All I know is I am neither drag king or queen, I am a drag thing. At least, that’s what they’re referring to it as.

Like, I want my performance to confuse the heck out of the audience over what my persona’s gender is. Are they male? Female? Nonbinary? Yes and no all at the same time.

I feel like that’s part of the idea I want to portray here. I’m a cis female (I don’t care if ppl refer to me as “they” irl or online tho, it doesn’t bother me), but I always referred to myself as a “tomboy” growing up for one reason or another. I want this character to challenge the very gender roles that we as a society fostered into being. Breaking boundaries and being between the lines of what constitutes as a “man” or a “woman”, that’s what I want my persona to represent. They don’t fit into any one category, simply because they don’t need to. They’re just a person. A silly goober, if you will.

As for the fit— thanks to my friend’s advisement — I’m thinking of a 1940s Flapper Dress paired with some more masc attire in shoes, makeup, and maybe hat and tie. It would be very fun and something I’d honestly wear outside of drag. Like DANG 1940s fits are FIRE 🔥! I can get a top hat, add the feathers, wear the gloves, etc. (Yes my friends told me I should make the drag outfit Batim inspired since it’s my fixation and maybe this is my excuse for that, but I really do enjoy the Golden Era of film and media culture of that time period. Either way it works in my favor)

And, of course, I couldn’t resist taking some inspiration from Luz’s Grom outfit from The Owl House. Can you blame me though? I mean, look at it!

Very demure, very mindful, very slay. 💅

Coming up with names and a personality is something I’m going to have to come up with later in the week when I have more time. :3

So sorry if I’m not as active on any of my accounts this week. I’ll try to write when I can, but I have a lot on my plate between work, school, and planning my drag persona and performance. Maybe I’ll ramble more about this if anyone is interested. For now… I need to study (Y’all I was sick all last week and didn’t go to school and apparently I have an exam tomorrow that I didn’t study for I’m SO cooked 🙏😭)

( @strawberrystepmom ) BOW MASTERY — spend the day practicing archery with narumi! he says he wants to master it so he can get rid of phantoms. perhaps this comment makes your brows furrow a bit, and you ask him why he needs to worry about phantoms in the first place, to which he freezes. your eyes narrow. “you’re sleeping, right?” you ask, and he feels himself break into a cold sweat. “why else would there be phantoms after you?” he wants to play this off somehow- anything to let you distract you from the fact that he hasn’t been sleeping. he definitely hasn’t been building you a treehouse since last week or anything- and it’s still not done yet- he’ll show you later. his hands come to brush over your own, adjusting your fingers to better hold the bow. “course i am. they just target me because im such a threat— you know how it goes.”

Quay - Character Stories

A Modest Assistant Researcher (Part I) While the emerging fields of ecoacoustics and wutherology have garnered significant attention since the onset of the Lament, their intersection with previously established biological sciences necessitates large-scale collaborative efforts among researchers across Solaris-III. Quay, an expatriate from Rinascita, is one of countless moving parts in that global research machine -- the mechanism that enlightens academics on the current state of the world and allows them to predict future developments, be those declines in the population of an organism, or a disaster of a scale similar to that of the initial Lament.

However, Quay is not a prominent researcher by any definition -- his name is not one anybody would recognize from published literature or organization membership rosters. When addressed, he emphasizes his title of assistant field researcher, and has never mentioned ambitions to achieve a position higher than that. By all accounts, he seems far more passionate about studying marine life, even outside of his regular work hours, than about climbing societal ladders.

Indeed, the national stranding and response program Quay works for is not well-known in Jinzhou's public eye, despite its close cooperation with more conspicuous organizations like Huaxu Academy's Jinzhou branch -- nor is Quay's occupation of studying beached animal carcasses particularly charismatic or appropriate for everyday conversation. Quay, likewise, is not exactly a socialite. He leads a quiet and carefree life in Jinzhou city, evading the suspicions sometimes inflicted upon more noteworthy outsiders, especially in academic circles.

At Home At Sea (Part II) Though Jinzhou locals would not know him by name, tracking down Quay is not a difficult task; one merely needs to select a beach accessible from Jinzhou and consult the relevant tables for the next lowest tide. Quay is sighted reliably enough meandering the tidal flats beneath the city's Huaxu Academy building that it's easy to confuse him for one of the resident researchers, when in fact, he's merely interested in observing whatever marine organisms he can locate, however common or inconspicuous. His confidence in navigating all manner of rocky and slippery environs in search of his next specimen betrays his wealth of experience navigating countless shores, in part drawn from his previous residence in Rinascita.

Once he's on the clock, though, Quay's attention shifts from live animals to dead ones, with no noticeable decrease in enthusiasm. For how awkward he is around people, his conduct around animal remains in all stages of decay is all but fearless. He diligently logs the condition and location of each reported case, never complaining about difficulties such as weather or seclusion from accessible trails, or even the smell of particularly rotten specimens. Even more remarkable is Quay's memory for past stranding instances, almost rendering his meticulously-written observations redundant. Nevertheless, collating and analyzing data is a task reserved for the higher-ups; Quay is perfectly content simply to have such a practical excuse to spend so much time near the ocean. Thus, one would be hard-pressed to find an assistant researcher who performs their work with comparable optimism and efficiency.

Quay's easygoing mannerisms seem to suggest that little truly bothers him. However, combining his aversion to small talk with his tendency to spin nigh-incomprehensible tangents about the technicalities of his studies, anyone outside Huaxu Academy would find it difficult to reliably confirm this suspicion -- at least without earning a great deal of his trust first.

Fish Out of Water (Part III) With Quay's propensity for entering any available body of water regardless of climactic conditions, those with the elusive chance to learn of Quay's background would not be surprised to learn of his Rinascitan origins. Indeed, within a certain distance of the ocean, Quay invariably dedicates ample time to frolicking. His behavior might lead one to marvel that he is not tired of the beach already, given that he has indulged in the same habits for his entire life beforehand.

How, then, would a Ragunnesi end up employed in Jinzhou? The matter is even more puzzling when one considers the alleged strength of family ties among the residents of Rinascita. Under a cursory examination, Quay's living situation seems, for all intents and purposes, improbable.

The fortunately-timed opening of Rinascita's waterways to other nations played no small part in Quay's recent relocation to Huanglong. What better opportunity to facilitate intellectual and cultural exchange than to establish a livelihood in another region? With easy access to oceanic routes, Jinzhou was an ideal setting for the continuation of Quay's career in the biological sciences, both in terms of geographical location and occupational opportunities.

Indeed, for Quay, the primary hurdle in the process was a mental one. For all of the scholarly challenges he'd faced in his years of study, when it came to socializing and learning his way around, Quay's prospects were precarious at best. Moving to Jinzhou entailed leaving behind his life in Rinascita, with no promise of a suitable excuse to ever return. Still, he thought of it as departing on an adventure -- certainly preferable to stagnating at home, where his circumstances grew less favorable the longer he stayed.

Leaving the Shoal (Part IV) Ragunnesi are known for their unshakable pride in their lineage. Hence, the misconception that their families would invariably cohabit for generations on end is, for outsiders, an easy one to make.

Considering his geographical origins, Quay might appear eccentric, if not hypocritical, for supplying only the vaguest information on his family background. However, a perceptive conversationalist might glean all the necessary detail from the observation that his sparse comments are exclusively presented in the past tense.

It's no wonder, then, that Quay seems reluctant to form close ties with any social groups in Jinzhou, for how could he risk losing all of the stability and prospects afforded by one's family a second time?

Indeed, social norms in Rinascita prescribe that one find a suitable life partner and thereby establish their own family unit -- one that, formed from the union of two lineages, is allegedly greater than the sum of its parts. Quay, however, never bore any interest in subscribing to norms such as these, preferring instead to strengthen his ties with the family he already had; he never relied too much on any one affiliation, lest its eventual collapse bring the rest of his social network down with it.

It was a cruel and unfortunate paradox, then, that Quay, as he entered adulthood, found himself suddenly with no domestic connections whatsoever -- every last one of his relatives had seceded their familial positions in favor of pursuing their own interpersonal relationships.

With his lineage essentially nullified, Quay lacked the support or foundations to continue his previous life in Rinascita. Thus, his relocation to Jinzhou was, in fact, executed largely out of necessity. Still, Quay never voices any regret about the situation, instead focusing on the wealth of exciting opportunities he's encountered since moving, whether those involve exploring new places or studying new varieties of wildlife. After all, steering the topic of conversation back to the ocean never fails to rekindle his vitality.

A Serendipitous Skill (Part V) Starting a new life meant pursuing new endeavors, including renewing Quay's hidden enthusiasm for baking.

Quay, after all, is a particularly food-motivated individual, with his overt preference for fish divulging his Ragunnesi origins. That said, he rarely refuses the opportunity to delight his palate with something sweet, provided said sweet is acceptable to his tastes. Hence, with the promise of a treat guaranteed, combined with the intellectual stimulation of executing a procedure, Quay finds baking, as an investigative process, nigh irresistible. And, thankfully, with his interest in the hobby peaking upon his departure from Rinascita, his excitement is untainted by any lingering ties to his blood family. Moreover, methodical similarities aside, the lack of connection between his pastime and his career serves as an ideal dynamic to stave off burnout.

Indeed, it was Quay's revitalized interest in this hobby that was perhaps just as useful as his academic background. While his studies introduced him to Jinzhou's Huaxu Academy branch, his willingness to share his home-baked goods played no small part in reinforcing his bonds with his new collaborators. As it turns out, distributing surplus desserts to one's acquaintances is an effective approach for facilitating interactions that further strengthen social connections -- even if this effect is entirely unintentional, and simply a consequence of Quay lamenting the possibility of any of his products going to waste. Still, it seems that, to Quay, delivering food to his colleagues is an acceptable pretense for some mild socializing, until he once again retreats to the solitude of the beach.

It's a very gray rainy day, and I've finished my classes and homework. I've taken full advantage of this by buying a hot caramel coffee, I'm gonna get a warm shower, then I'm gonna curl up in bed and watch Ghibli and do art and maybe drink some chamomile while I'm at it, and I fully plan to not leave the dorm building for the rest of the evening.

I'll also snuggle the stuffies I crocheted for myself and let them watch the movies, too 🥰

Every introvert need an extrovert friend 💜

"PURSUIT OF OKAYNESS" on Webtoon Canvas 🇺🇲🇫🇷

[0heymoon]

My sister came to stay for a few days. At one point it amused me how she, me and my dad were sat at the kitchen table having coffee and totally silent. I said 'hmm how introverted of us!'. Happily silent together. To outsiders it might look pretty strange, like we'd fallen out or something.

The prior evening my sister and I went to see our mutual friend David and his boyfriend. David is extroverted and I think his man is too as there were no silent moments and it gave me contrast which is what this realm is all about. :)
