Hello!!! I just wanted to say that i absolutely adore your character desighns. I have genuenly NO idea how youre able to do color theory so dang well and also make characters that full of personality. Also your Gerard is the best thing my eyes have ever experienced thank you wholeheartedly aghfhfsbjtj

I’ve turned your praise towards me and I place a “here’s color stuff” onto the field and end my turn.

(Thank you deeply for the compliment, working in color used to scare me a lot but I’ve been working towards using it in my stuff more often. I’m also glad you think my characters are so lively, someday I’ll make an expressions guide. You have a beautiful day 🥺)

Saturn in Aries Mini Guide

May 2025 - May 2028

HEY!

are you new to fanfic? new to tumblr? or both?

well here is a mini guide for new fanfic readers on tumblr !!

first, like many other sites, the way you find fanfics is by going to the search, typing in 'character x' then finishing it with whatever you'd like, such as 'char x reader' 'char x char' and so on.

second, is looking at tags and warnings. tags are the words at the bottom of the post that signify what the post is mainly about, but be careful because a lot of people will put tags in their posts just for attention to the post, such as trending tags.

and warnings, a LOT of fanfic writers will put the warnings in the description of the fic, so at the top of the post. popular things that are in warnings that can be a bit confusing or be unknown to new readers are;

nsfw: this means that whatever in the fic, is either sexual, violent or down right diabolical so they much rather warn you than having to deal with upset readers

mdni: very commonly seen anywhere that is 18+ or 21+ is mdni, or minors do not interact, very similar to nsfw, this just means if you are under 18, this post is not for you, or this account is not for you

fem! and masc! or gn! reader: this is just declaring who this fic was intended for, whether it be afab or feminine people, (fem!), amab or masculine people (masc!), or for anyone and everyone (gn!)

OOC: this is just warning you that the character/s are not as shown in whatever media they are originally from, many instances are when someone has a different vision for a character so they write the character with such vision. OOC means, out of character.

warnings will usually have everything you need to know about the fic, and if the warnings don't, the tags will.

third, is masterlists. alright, so masterlists are just a writer's way of making their fics more accessible to the readers. most writers have multiple masterlists that correspond with the characters, fandoms, or genres they write for. masterlists can almost always be found on the writer's pinned post.

and lastly, LIKES AND REBLOGS.

likes and reblogs are very controversial for no reason. likes and reblogs are the easiest way for writers to know if someone is enjoying their fics. don't get me wrong, follows and comments are nice but reblogs, most importantly, get posts to be spread around.

so, now you've got a guide to help you through this hellhole we call Tumblr.

my uni tips as a second year student 🍂🧸💭

💭 know when your classes start!

This may seem like a no-brainer but believe me when I tell you there are students who won’t know when or how many classes they have. This will only lead to stress and an unorganised mind. Check your schedule for the first period/semester ideally 2 weeks before school officially starts. That way you’ll have plenty of time to plan other activities around your lectures!

🍂 make friends, especially the first few weeks

Now, call me naive but I thought I could go through uni all by myself, without the headache of keeping up with the social scene but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Most studies are fairly big, with the number of students being 300 or even more if you follow a popular study. Simply put, this means chaos. Having friends to answer questions like: “When did the professor say the deadline was? Do we get the extra points if we do x, y, z? What was the new date for the midterm?” will save your academic life more than once. Two people know more than one, so help each other! Plus sitting next to someone you know and having people to talk to about your courses is very comforting to have :)

🕰️ make your assignments on time!

I know this is an obvious one, but trust me when I say that pushing that assignment, project, or homework to the very last day will only give you unnecessary stress. Ideally you should start your assignment on the day it’s been published so you can really take your time to grasp the concepts being discussed, thus preparing you better for the upcoming midterm and finals (less work for future you!)

🧸 make time for rest and relaxation!

Many students will tell you that they don’t have time for anything besides their study. In my honest opinion, this is easily dodged by simply having decent time management. I try to plan the following week on a Sunday so I know what assignments are due, when my classes are, etc. In my experience it’s more difficult to follow the planning I made than actually making it, so try to keep it realistic. You’re probably not gonna manage to write 2 essays and make an assignment in one single day so keep that in mind. I’d suggest to go to campus (or a cafe or library or another cosy study spot) in the morning and stay there until the afternoon. This makes you more productive and gives you free time for the whole evening!

I hope you found some good tips in this mini guide and please, do let me know if you liked it and would like to see more such posts <3

Xoxo, Florentism

What pen/marker thing do you use? It looks nice!

I could talk about pens forever but my top two favorites are the Faber Castell Fude Hard pens and the Pentel Pocket Brush pen.

One is a super stiff brush nib so yeah my lines can be thicker but not too much and I have a lot of control.

The other is a crazy soft brush pen but it holds it’s shape so well?? And the nylon bristles don’t fray?? (Like separate, like split ends!! Split ends but for a pen) and it’s refillable and it’s -ugh- so good :3

I hope this is helpful, I hope people try more pens!!

Breaking Free from Codependency: A Simple Guide to Healing

What is Codependency?

Codependency is a complex pattern of behaviors and emotions that often develop in relationships where one person consistently puts the needs of the other before their own. It can manifest in various ways, but some common signs of codependency include:

1. Excessive People-Pleasing: You might find yourself constantly doing things for others, even if it means sacrificing your needs and desires.

2. Difficulty Setting Boundaries: You may struggle with saying "no" and setting healthy boundaries in your relationships, fearing it will upset or disappoint others.

3. Fear of Abandonment: You might go to great lengths to avoid being alone or fear rejection and abandonment by loved ones.

4. Losing Your Identity: Codependency can lead to losing your sense of self as you become overly focused on the needs and wants of others.

Can you beat codependency? YES! How to Beat Codependency

1. Self-Awareness: The first step is recognizing that you're in a codependent situation. Self-awareness is crucial for any personal growth journey. Take some time to reflect on your behavior and emotions in your relationships. Are you consistently putting others' needs before your own? Are you afraid to be alone? If so, you may have some codependent tendencies.

2. Seek Support: It's essential to reach out for help. This could be in the form of a therapist, counselor, life coach, or a trusted friend or family member. They can provide guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to discuss your feelings and experiences.

3. Establish Boundaries: Learning to set and maintain healthy boundaries is key to overcoming codependency. Practice saying "no" when you need to and respect your limits. It's not selfish to prioritize your well-being.

4. Self-Care: Invest time in self-care activities that promote your physical and emotional health. This could include exercise, meditation, journaling, or pursuing hobbies and interests that make you happy.

5. Boost Self-Esteem: Work on improving your self-esteem by recognizing your worth independent of others' opinions. Self-affirmations, self-compassion, and positive self-talk can help with this.

6. Independence: Focus on reclaiming your independence and personal identity. Reconnect with your interests and values. Rediscover who you are outside of your relationships.

7. Communication: Open, honest, and assertive communication is key. Express your needs, wants, and feelings in a healthy way, without fear of rejection or judgment.

8. Take Small Steps: Overcoming codependency is a process that takes time. Don't rush it. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.

Codependency is a challenging pattern to break, but with self-awareness, and support, you can overcome it. Remember that you deserve happiness and healthy relationships just as much as anyone else. By taking these steps, you can reclaim your independence and build more fulfilling connections with others while maintaining your well-being. Don't be afraid to seek help when needed; it's a sign of strength and a crucial part of the healing process.
