#is my greatest achievement😅

[karakulialiny]

Express by @splatjack was the most anticipated mod by me, and its release was an excellent occasion to create my first full-fledged Incredibox fanart, although I have been in the fandom since May of this year.

I liked everything about this mod: the color scheme, the character design, and the melody, inspired by one of my favorite songs - Sweet Dreams. I can't wait for the bonuses to come out and the lore to be revealed further (Don't worry, Jack, I'm not one of those kids who insists on asking for a release date. Being the creator of something big myself, I completely understand your pain during the development 😬).

ASTRO NOTES # 7

Spiritual awakening or just an astrology? 🪬

It's kind of a trend nowadays to get into spirituality, which I can't say is a bad thing, but I'm a logical thinking person and an over-thinker😅 and decide to go a little deeper into this topic. After all, astrology is a science, and that science can explain a lot about things like the dark night of the soul, the death of the ego, or even twin flames. Here are some astrological transits that will make you feel like something extraordinary is happening to you. I hope you enjoy this one. 🫶

• Uranus transiting (conjunction, opposition, square) your natal Moon. You may start to feel like you are thunderstrucked⚡️, something in you have really changed with the blink of an eye. Your emotions may become more unpredictable, your thoughts may start moving in different places and directions. It’s like you are going crazy, but you know you’re not. You will feel just like an alien, like you don’t belong here. 🛸

• Transit Pluto to your natal Sun. Oh, my godness! 🫥 This is one of the biggest transformation you will have in your life, especially if it’s in conjunction with your Sun. The ego death is real, your whole belief system changes and it’s hard, really hard. You will struggle with the urge to make the changes you will need to make, because you will have to lose someone or something you don’t want to lose. This will be your greatest rebirth. 🌅 After this transit, nothing will be the same in you and for you. It’s painful, but it’s probably the most powerful and beautiful process of your entire life.

• Saturn returns, in particular the first one. Here the things can be a little bit smoother, because after all Saturn represents the karma, the lessons we have to learn. 🪐 So if you have been working hard on the things you want and you still doesn’t see any results, wait until your Saturn return, everything it will reward you. And if you haven’t done any work to achieve your goals (here we can talk about health, work, love life and etc, depends on the house your Saturn is sitting) you will have to learn the hard way why does something always go wrong. In these about two and a half years, you will have to learn some lessons about patience or responsibility, in other words - you will have to grow up. 🐛 - 🦋

• Transiting Neptune 🔱 aspecting your Moon. With this transit you can start diving really deep into your subconscious. 🧘‍♀️You may feel the urge to start exploring yourself more, things like astrology, psychology, esotericism will naturally appeal to you. But there’s always a catch… there is a danger of overuse of substances that can lead to addiction. But if you’re smart enough, you will use the 🍄🍃more as a tool and with intent, not just to escape reality or to make yourself feel better.

• On the Twin Flame topic. ♾️ Here we don’t talk about transits, just aspects.

Pluto/Saturn/Neptune in contact with Venus or luminaries in synastry. The intense of the connection between two individuals it will be so strong, powerful and magnetic, like its something really destined to be. Aspects like this can lead to feeling like you have finally met your Twin Flame. 🎎🔥I will quickly explain why. With Pluto you will feel that transformative love you have never met before, we know the relationship between twin flames is super tense and emotional. 💣 Saturn will make you go back to each other, because there are lessons that have to be learned, that gives the on and off dynamic of the couple and the feeling you know that person from before. Neptune will give you that telepathic and outworldly feeling. 💞

I don’t want to kill the magic, but science is science and if you know how to use it, you will go much easier through your spiritual awakening journey.✨⚔️📚

[emmashouldbewriting]

It's not my intention to make you cry! 😂 I'm just taking the opportunity of knowing that one of my favorite authors will read my message to express my gratitude haha.

Several of your books are my comfort zone. Even though I practically know them by heart, they help calm or quiet my mind. They help endure my panic attacks. Your books make me laugh, cry, and sometimes yearn for a better life. Authors like you not only provide entertainment, I think we could call it that😅, but often also provide comfort. Moments of peace, laughter, tranquility. Sometimes they also teach a thing or two on certain topics 😏😏so thanks😂. Thank you, Emma.

Note: For much of the book, I kept saying I wanted a Theo in my life, but now I think what I really want is a Duke in my life haha.

Being an author is such a weird thing - there are so, so many measures for 'success,' - publishing deals, royalties, bestseller lists, reviews, sales... yet this right here will always be my greatest achievement. This is my success. And this is why it makes me cry.

I'm a storyteller. I'm only doing what millions have done through history--what thousands of people are doing right at this very moment. It's nothing special, really.

But thousands of books are published every day. And of all those books, of all those millions of words written, mine are what bring you comfort. My words give you peace. Words I've agonised and obsessed over. Words that have kept me up at night. Words that I've literally cried over. Words that have taken a piece of my soul to the page with them.

I will always cry at messages like this. So, thank you. Thank you for reading these little chaotic pieces of my soul. Thank you really isn't enough to tell you what this means.

Your words are what keep mine going.

[nouies]

11, 23, and one question of your choosing please!

thank you Megan 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

11. What kind of relationships do you like writing best? (Family, platonic, romantic, etc.)

tbh i think it depends on the fic, but i think that i tend to focus more on the romantic aspect than friendships or family (i’ve written orphan Louis more times than i can count lol).

23. Is there a project you want to talk about?

i’m currently writing a bunny Lou/wolf Harry au called “Running with the Wolves” which you can check the first updates/chapters. i’m enjoying a lot writing these characters, and it’s my first collaboration with an artist so it’s even more special. and another project i have for this year is my Louis/Sebstan fic called “a king beside you” but i don’t know when i’ll start working on that one 😅 the idea is there, i just need to write it lol

30. What is, in your opinion, the greatest achievement that you have reached in writing?

definitely when i wrote “Needle” (one of the stories with orphan Louis 😭). honestly idk what possessed me during that time bc i read that story now and i can’t believe i wrote it. i guess i just got the best inspiration 🤭 OH! and another one was a few months back when someone commented that they’d like to write fan fiction from “Cold Spring” which is honestly the highest compliment <3

thank you again!!! 💓

lucas_xx444 just uploaded a post:

Today's officially my favorite day of the year, because it's the day you came into the world and made it forever a brighter place. Happy Birthday to you, my love, my baby, my knight in shining armor and my best friend. While this day honestly feels no different than before because I'm showering you with love constantly (how do you always put up with me?! 🤣), today I get to use your birthday as an excuse to really go overboard with it and you can't stop me. It makes me happy knowing I've gotten to spend so many birthday's with you now and I'll get to spend every single one from here on our right by your side. Not that you'd have any choice in the matter or not because...you're stuck with me, handsome! Can't get rid of me now~ I can remember the first birthday we ever spent together -- me struggling with my broken Korean and you pretending to understand me (don't lie! 😅) and us still having the time of our lives because..it was just that easy for us. We didn't have to be doing much to be happy, and that's one of the many reasons it was so easy to fall for you, honey. But as time continued on and we spent more and more birthdays together, I came to realize making you happy on today of all days (and every day for that matter) was my favorite thing I've ever gotten to do and will forever be my favorite thing to do. I won't take a single celebration or second spent by your side for granted, and I'll always make sure you're feeling loved, adored, admired and as special as you possibly can. Seeing how much we've grown together over the years, especially you, is something I love looking back on. Especially us, going from best friends, to lovers, to fiancé's, and now husbands. I love the journey you've put me on, baby, and I hope I can make life as good for you as you have for me. Getting to celebrate all things you, from the smallest to the biggest achievements will also be another one of my favorite things I get to do in this life, Jungwoo. You have the kindest and biggest heart of anyone I know, and that's one of the many, many things I admire about you and always have admired about you! Thank you for everything you've done for me over the years, my darling. You are the greatest gift. Happy 26th, Jungwoo. Today (and every day) is all about you. Let's show Ireland how we celebrate! Forever and always, Xuxi. TAGGED: snoopywong | @jvngwcos

I don't really know any characters from your story besides Vellatra herself, so how about #1, #8, and #9 for the most important character who is not her?

Oh dear! You know what, I'd never really considered who was "second-most important"! So I did some pondering... and mulled it over with my advisor and confidante (@reneethegreatandpowerful), and have come to the conclusion that Zac is second. HOWEVER! The story has a few different groups it follows, with their own side plots and stuff, so I have also included perhaps one of the more interesting folks from each of these groups. Thanks for the tough question! Those are the ones that help me fine tune stories. 😁 And now, your answers.

(Apologies - I committed the cardinal sin of using a "skin color" marker in this drawing, thereby turning him into Donald Trump. Sorry! 😅)

Q: Full name and occupation?

A: "I'm Zachary James O'Connor. Most people just call me Zac. I'm in training to eventually join the army in the Merfaen tiz Ornaru - if I don't find a way back to Earth first, that is!"

Q: What do you do for fun?

A: "My favorite pastime is playing video games! Especially fantasy swordplay stuff, like Zelda, Xenoblade, and Final Fantasy. They don't have electronics in this world though, so nowadays I tag along with Aileev and get into mischief with her, mostly." 😆 (Author's note: Aileev is Vellatra's teenage firecracker of a daughter. I'll have to introduce her sometime soon!)

Q: What is your greatest achievement, and why do you think so?

A: "I learned Flunibu, the Merfaen language, to a conversational level in a couple of weeks. Never thought I'd learn a new language that fast!"

Q: Full name and occupation?

A: "Vexina Katrina Fini. I'm a specialist in the natural sciences, and at the moment I'm on a government funded mission to investigate some strange phenomena near the edge of our solar system. ... Admittedly I've been pretty sidetracked lately! But Silen Fah is full of interesting new flora and fauna to discover, so I'm not too upset." 😁

Q: What do you do for fun?

A: "I enjoy reading up on the most recent scientific discoveries, and mulling over the unexplained mysteries of the universe. Did you know, for example, that nobody's yet come up with a satisfactory theory for how the mammoths were frozen so quickly and preserved so perfectly? The temperatures and conditions you'd need-"

Q: Ahem, next question! What is your greatest achievement and why do you think so?

A: "By a long shot, the discovery of this new world! No earthly scientist has ever been able to catalogue so many new species and geological formations as I have, and all thanks to a happy accident on our travels through space! I worry, though, that no one will ever find OUT about my achievement. I haven't found a way back home, or a way to send my findings to Earth.... But hope is not lost and I won't give up!"

Q: Full name and occupation?

A: "I am Fabian, son of Henry. I am a squire for Sir Galahad of Camelot."

Q: What do you do for fun?

A: "I enjoy practicing swordplay, hunting, and riding horseback when the time may be spared."

Q: What is your greatest achievement and why?

A: "I have done little worthy of renown as of yet, but I am only a youth. I trust that, in time, great things shall be done. Perhaps I shall become a knight of King Arthur's court? Slay wicked beasts? Save fair maidens? What the Lord willeth, I stand ready to do."

This is the second time I've typed all this out... sure hope Tumblr doesn't delete it all again! This is getting tedious. 😵

Anyway, it was fun to figure all this out! Thanks again for the question!

[littlemisspascal]

Hello!! 💕

🍉 and 🐠?

Have a great day!

Hello darling 💜🌷

favourite wip - I don't really have a favorite since all my wips excite and annoy me pretty much equally 😅

author who inspires you - If we're talking fanfic authors, I'd be here for days listing off every incredible writer in the fandom who inspires me to be better and improve my skills. If we're talking book authors, well, my favorite is and totally always will be William Goldman. If I could write one sentence as funny or beautiful or thoughtful as his, that'd be one of the greatest achievements of my life.

For your writer ask game!

1, 5, 6, 11, 29, 30

Thank you so much for asking!!! 💚 (I hope I'm answering the questions from the right ask game, lol 😅)

1: What is the best compliment you've gotten on any of your works?

I have gotten many extremely beautiful and kind words (comments my beloved 💙), but I think the biggest compliment of all was actually @nicoroni liveblogging me their re-read of Stereoscopy. 🤯🤯🤯 And both them and @debstinyyy actually wanting to hear my DVD commentary track-like ramblings about it. 🥺 (I love you guys so much 💚💚💚😭😭😭)

5: What is your go-to way to deal with writers block?

Giving myself a little time to recharge... and then if that fails, getting or giving myself a deadline. 😅 (A very black-and-white carrot-or-stick situation, apparently. 😅)

6: Do you have a motivational cycle? (As in phases in which you barely write and phases in which you write so much holy shit)

Yes, definitely. I think I'm finding that, like with so many things in my life, the secret is to actually start writing, and then it tends to snowball from there. But sometimes it can take me a long while to manage to open the word doc again after I get sidetracked by life, distractions, or simple tiredness.

11: What kind of relationships do you like writing best? (Family, platonic, romantic, etc.)

Definitely romantic all the way, although I do very much enjoy writing all the friendship moments, especially with the other characters, but also before the romance starts.

29: Do you listen to music while you write? If so, what kind?

Sometimes I forget, but it's almost always much better when I do, so yes! It's usually a single song (or piece) on repeat that I feel fits the mood of the story (or section) I'm writing at the moment. And the kind is... Uhm, I'm bad at naming music genres, lol 😅 Wikipedia says the artists in my playlists are various combinations of (sometimes alternative) rock, pop, folk, electronic, and then there's some modern piano, and animated movie soundtracks. (All of my fics but the first one have links to their song(s) or playlist in the notes... and maybe I should give Free Fall its own little mini-soundtrack, too. Poor eldest child of mine, you deserve it, and it's your birthday in a couple of days! 💕)

30: What is, in your opinion, the greatest achievement that you have reached in writing?

I wrote a freaking novel-length fic. And I absolutely love it. And several other people loved it, too. That's definitely the thing I am personally most impressed with myself for.

Shrine of Resurrection...or Rebirth?

Thank @paradoxical-hermitcrab for this thought involving these two posts here and here. (@hermitdrabbles56 is the same person as paradoxical-hermitcrab. I forgot to mention. 😅)

We all know that the Shrine of Resurrection is meant to heal a grievously injured Wild (Breath of the Wild Link) but machines are known to not be perfect. Glitches, errors or alternate methods are something that can happen. One such thing being modifications. Wild barely survived his interaction with Calamity Ganon and machines have no qualms about what can be used to further the success of their main objective.

So here are three scenarios that might occur. Crossover elements are bound to happen cause it's me writing this. A crossover fanatic.

Spirit Implementation

One such way to affect Wild during his sleep is implementing a spirit into his own unconscious body. Consciousness can affect how any type of spirit could merge with a living body with a fully conscious person being capable of repelling the invader.

Now the spirit in question would most likely be chosen for the memories, skills and survivability they held when they were alive. There are various ways that spirits can linger, one such way being through mementos or unfilled wishes. Both serve as an effective magnet to draw in a potential candidate.

My example for this is Roronoa Zoro from One Piece cause he has two methods to attract his spirit.

Prized possessions being the sword from his best friend Kuina, Wado Ichimonji. Even a fragment of the sword will do to draw his soul. One way to get Zoro to agree with this arrangement is restoring the sword to it's former glory.

Another way is through dream which is to become the world's greatest swordsman, a dream also fueled by his best friend. If he had died before fulfilling it, Wild could fulfill it in Zoro's stead. What's no better way to achieve it than slaying a great demon like Calamity Ganon?

Of course the main factor to have Zoro fully coroporate is what kind of person Wild is. He won't assist just anyone as personality and drive are important factors here. A test Wild can pass.

Now Zoro being chosen is his insane skill with blade, capability of surviving injuries that would kill anyone and what can be taught through his memories. He utilizes Santōryū or Three Sword Style which involves using three swords alongside other various sword styles.

Haki being another factor since it focuses around willpower, something that every Link has in stride. Whether he can use Conquerer's Haki is unknown but Armament and Observation are possible. Overall Wild will become a devastating force of nature that the Shrine would want.

DNA Alteration

You read that write, DNA Alteration. Meddling with Wild's genetic code would be much easier than calling upon a spirit. Plus there is a lot more variety to pick from and mix. One such method is combining multiple DNA to not only reinforce Wild's capabilities but also have a fallback system if shit hits the fan.

My example for this is the Baoh Armed Phenomenon from Baoh: The Visitor.

A transformation capable of super human transformation, incredible durability and even healing capabilities which are just the BASIC skills. Corrosive touches that can eat away even metal, creating sharp detaches sabers, needle shower that can burst into flames to even letting loose powerful blasts of electricity. If he shares the same moveset as Ikuro, the Baoh above.

Wild could develop his own abilities that can adapt to his environment but also actions as a whole. The normal weakness for Baoh, which is fire, can be nullified as the method the Shrine uses doesn't involve a brain parasite. A lot of species live in Hyrule including monsters so fire resistance is possible using Goron or Fire Chuchus.

Quite a terrifying failsafe to insure survival of Wild through out his adventures. Champion Blessings, monster parts, potions and even normal objects could create an alternation or boost to this crafted Baoh Armed Phenomenon. Combined with his prowess in game then you have a force of nature on your ass.

Species Change/Chimeraism

This is probably the worst thing possible as I don't think Wild would approve of his human/Hylian form being permanently taken away. However it's the Shrine of Resurrection and such a dick move is a huge possibility. DNA Alteration at least keeps him mostly human but this method is tossing that away for effectiveness.

Hyrule has tons of DNA samples however there's one item I want to bring up: The Star Fragment. It's a stone that fell from the sky specifically space. This means it could carry various stuff on its surface even remnants of DNA like a cosmic Amber.

My best example for this is Feedback's species, Conductoid, Ben 10.

The reason for my choice is the abilities that could greatly assist Wild but also one in particular that I'm pretty sure no creature in Hyrule has.

Conductoids possess enhanced strength, enhanced durability, enhanced dexterity, enhanced jumping, enhanced reflexes, enhanced speed(under certain circumstances), electrokinesis including electric kinetic levitation/flight, radiolocation, space survivability, elastic antenna tentacles, and FINALLY energy absorption along energy redirection. (Fucking hell that's a lot.)

I want to focus on energy absorption specifically because ANY energy counts even magic to emotion based. Let this sink in. This is a species capable of absorbing even the Big Fucking Bang and FIRE it back at some poor bloke. (It has been done in the actual show, Ben 10: Omniverse.)

Wild could absorb Guardian Lasers to even Ganon's Energy based Malice then fire it back for extra damage. All the species' other abilities alone make Wild very difficult to kill. But these two specific powers makes him a very powerful contender. Combine that with his ingenuity than rip anyone incapable of countering him.

That's all I have for now. Until next time folks, I'll see you back at Hylrule.

[ambrossart]

Hi! I have a question about DWM…

Reader is called Bitch multiple times by multiple people (Eddie, Teddy). Both of those times were the heat of the moment stuff - when they were in the middle of an argument, rejected, or felt insulted. But then, in the finale, Eddie calls Britney a Bitch, and it’s simply because she is one.

I took the juxtaposition of those times as commentary on the characters. Like, Reader acknowledges that her words and actions can sometimes be cutting, but they are rooted in something deeper (self preservation, insecurities, etc.), and she is capable of change. But characters like Britany are empirically bad people because of their relentless selfishness like their inability to let someone else have a moment at prom.

Was this intentional? This story has so many layers and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on this.

(Side note: I’ve reread the finale so many times. I sometimes have to stop everything I’m doing to go back and read a specific part. Like, “You are my greatest memory.” Oh my god. 💕💓💞💗💞)

I wish I could say it was intentional, but it was more like a happy accident.😅 I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this, though!

And the only thing I will say is that there really aren't any "bad people" here. They're just a bunch of dumb teenagers trying to achieve the "ideal" prom experience.

This is a very important night for them. It's the senior prom, the last big event before graduation. And I think that pressure brought out the ugly side of a lot of the characters. Grant's date is yelling at him for ruining her picture because of a tiny stain on his tux. Jeff's date loses it over a missed steak dinner. Chrissy's backsliding with her eating disorder. And Jason... well, he did something incredibly stupid and inconsiderate by secretly asking Chance to take the Reader to prom.

Everyone's chasing after this perfect, cliched prom experience (including Eddie and the Reader) and they're forgetting to just enjoy the moment for what it is, flaws and all.

(Side note to your side note: that line actually popped into my head while I was writing part 4 and I refused to let it go because I loved it so much. 🥹❤️)

[thelavenderelf]

I hope you're still taking these! 🤥🍧🌙💡💧 pretty please 😌

I absolutely am! <3 I'll never say no to a chance to develop my ocs!

🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

She is! But those who are close to her know that she wears a specific lopsided smile when telling a lie.

🍧 SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?

Ooooh this is a touchy subject for her! Right after the events of Helgen, she dumped all her belongings with into the river in Riverwood. She only kept a golden hairpin that her mother would use to do her hair. If she lost it, I believe she would be sad at first, but it would be more bittersweet.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

She wishes for a simple life with no dragons, no daedra, no thalmor, and no civil war. All she wants is a small home and a farm with her loved ones. She has to fight to achieve this dream of hers, but she's still very reluctant to fill her role as the last dragonborn.

💡 LIGHTBULB - is your oc a planner? do they write down every small detail or just wing it?

At first, she is very much a pantser and will charge into anything without a second thought. But her time with the Thieve's Guild taught her to slow down and plan if necessary.

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

I have a lot of these, but most of them are from my fic so I can't give much away 😅

A lot of Sylvanna's humor comes from her first love. Her friends used to tease her relentlessly about it but after she broke up with him, they stopped. It was a bad breakup.

[oraclemoontarot]

Hello! How are you?😊 My initials are GC and I would like to have a reading. So..I know I definitely sound very delusional, I know..but I'm curious to know if I have a chance with my celebrity crush?😅 It's a popular k-pop idol (not the one on my pfp) so I know the chances are very low but I'm just curious to know🥺 it's okay if it's a no, I already expect it ahaha

hii, I'm good how about you? sorry for the late response, but here's the reading you requested 𓏲 ࣪₊♡𓂃

requested reading ★

do you have a chance with your celebrity crush ୨୧

cards pulled: king of swords, five of swords, strength, queen of cups, seven of pentacles, queen of swords, queen of pentacles, five of wands, eight of cups, knight of pentacles, fool, two of pentacles, nine of pentacles, nine of cups, seven of wands

you weren't kidding when you said they were popular 😭 they definitely have a LOT of admirers as three queens fell out, and another queen almost slipped out. your celebrity crush is likely the king of swords, they're intellectuals with a calm demeanour and incredibly mature, as well as great communicators. they may read a lot or learn things quickly - have a vast knowledge of things. it's giving rm from bts but could be anyone really.

under the king of swords is the seven of pentacles, so they're someone who you really admire and possibly dream about, they could be your ideal type or close. there is a chance you could be with them, but it would take A LOT of work and having to deal with a lot of jealousy around them and it feels like they may have sasaengs that are not the greatest, probably the worst ones. so, you'd have to weigh the pros and cons of getting into such a relationship, as it would stress you out a lot.

you'd have to work on ways you could get close, whether that is mutual friends, events, maybe if they volunteer etc. it would have to be a natural meeting, rather than concerts or fan meetings. and you'd have to be confident and genuine, someone with courage to approach them. your celebrity crush admires those who are warm hearted yet intelligent and they do care about appearance, they may have high standards. they'd like someone who has a nurturing and caring side, but also a strong and independent side - someone who works hard to achieve what they want, possibly have made their own money.

they'd like someone who matches their energy and is like their counterpart. it's important to be realistic and ground yourself though, but it's also important not to take it too seriously if you were to meet, to carry yourself with a sort of elegance? it feels like, if you stay true to yourself but also put in a lot of work, there is a chance for it to be successful, with the nine of cups and nine of pentacles.

but it would require you to communicate with your celebrity crush often and a lot, but in natural encounters. really, the only things that would prevent it are the fans, general public, and other admirers, so there is quite a significant chance, just requires a lot of time and work.

[khalaris]

for the writer ask game, 3, 17, 27, 30?

Hellooo! Sorry, I completely missed your ask on mobile, only saw it just now when opened tumblr on desktop 😅

3: Do you have scheduled uploads and if so, when?

Oh, I wish. I tried it for a while when I had a lot of chapters already written or almost done and it worked quite well until real life tanked my motivation for a couple of months and I eventually ran out of ready-to-post chapters. At some point I'd like to get back to a more regular schedule, maybe not every 3 weeks as before, since that was really very ambitious and optimistic, but perhaps a chapter per month could be doable.

17: Could you or could you not successfully pull of a murder (at least in theory)?

No. I would never even seriously consider the thought of intentionally doing such grievous harm to anybody.

27: How many people you know irl read what you're writing?

A whole whopping 0. I don't even hesitate anymore when telling people I write fanfic or what it's about, because no-one reads it anyway 🤷

30: What is, in your opinion, the greatest achievement that you have reached in writing?

Answered here 😊

A Week of Progress & Small Victories

This week has been very rewarding. We're still leading up to Lent, my first time participating Lent, and it is a little daunting. Fasting from meat isn't fun but that is the point and it is doable. How I'm going to cope with this week after cheesefare is beyond me. I definitely don't think being vegan is in the cards for me at this time 😅.

On Wednesday, my fiance and I met up with our priest finally! We've been trying to find a time to talk about my baptism for months. Thankfully, he not only covered that during our talk but also our wedding plans and my fiance's interest in potentially changing rites. Because of the distance between us and general business of our lives, our priest and I will be doing catechism via email with the goal of having me ready for baptism by Pentecost! After that we'll be able to start talking marriage prep, which will take roughly 3-6 months so, hopefully, we'll be getting married before the end of this year. One of my fiance's friends has two other weddings to attend in November so we just have to pray that's not where we end up. I'd rather not put the wedding off any longer than necessary.

On Thursday, my fiance and I visited St. Volodymyr's in order to help with the changing over of the cloths. We weren't exactly the greatest help but there's a first time for everything and we can only get better from here. We got everything done in 3 hours and then sat down to chat in the parish hall with some coffee and very cold cookies from the fridge. On the walk home from the church, my fiance and I passed an appliance store that is always closed when we pass it on Sundays. This was the first time we've seen it open and the cat that lives in there (see my previous post for the photo) was very calm and friendly to the two strangers who like to stare at him through the glass. His name is Alex and he is honestly a very sturdy cat. Not fat, not skinny, very muscular actually.

On Sunday, we went to the 5pm mass at the local cathedral where we joined the choir! I'm not much of a singer but I really enjoy it and am willing to put the effort in to try and make my voice sound at least pleasant. This is a mass that a lot for young adults attend so our young adult group decided we should get more involved with it so that we can include the people that go there in community events. The mass was followed by vespers and then we all went out to dinner in honour of the priest who said the mass that night: a younger priest, in his thirties, who has been very involved in our young adult community and has begun a midweek mass at the local uni, who is moving on to another parish. It was a very lovely night, I got to catch up with people I haven't seen in several weeks, including one of the women there who is always very sweet to everyone. We had a great conversation. I got to talk a bit about my talk with our priest earlier in the week and about the wedding. She invited me to a weekly run some of the women do each Saturday. I won't be able to make it this week but I'd love to join them, even if I haven't physically ran in years and it'll probably kill me. She also offered to help me with fertility awareness, as that is the area she is qualified in which sounds like such a blessing. I'm feeling very hopeful for this year.

Today I've begun my Lenten fasts. My laptop has been put away which has helped me tremendously. I've done a load of laundry (not the single biggest achievement but it was long overdue) and completely tidied my room. Though this week without dairy will be tough, I'm looking forward to Lent as a whole.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

About Me

Ohh, you wish to know me better?~ Fufu, I'm flattered~ Well, what can I tell about myself...

I'm a beginner artist. Like I've already mentioned, this blog is partially dedicated to that little aspiration I have - drawing. Just "partially" because of my "speed" in making those drawings. Yeah, I'm afraid you will see some new arts pretty rarely, sorry 😅 Besides, I really am an amateur, but I want to improve and share my works with you. Maybe you, my dearest audience, will become the greatest advisors/critics and motivation for me to continue pursuing this little hobby of mine)

I consider myself a somewhat knowledgeable gamer, though I probably haven't lost the count of the games I played just yet. I mostly prefer something with a good story, also colorful and interesting gameplay-wise. I also probably prefer puzzle-centered games a bit more than combat-centered like slashers/shooters, but the latter ones are fun in their own way. Best if there are both. My currently best achievement is probably finishing Hollow Knight (beat Radiance).

MBTI Type: INFP (presumably 4w5). What can I say, I lead a little tough but creative life full of late-night overthinking, social struggles, mental support plushies and unrealized artistic ambitions. But also with a plot of a good slice-of-life anime and an unyielding desire to bring dreams into reality! And with green butterflies flying around all the time)

Fun fact: I am planning to study to be a translator. English is not my mother tongue, and for now it's the only foreign language I know (there is also other national of my country, but I don't think it falls under the category of "foreign" then?). But I'm planning to learn some new languages in the future aswell! This job may seem boring, but I really enjoy helping people with my linguistic knowledge. Can't really explain it, I just like it) I'm not sure yet whether this blog will be related to that "potential future job", just disclosing some additional info about me if you were wondering.

Birthday: April 20th 💮
