IN WHICH— ballerina! reader loves to do tiktok trends

| some swearing but i think thats it

01: we listen and we dont judge

matt’s phone was set up, capturing the happy couple sitting in front of matt’s gaming setup, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist, face sat on her shoulders

“okay, i know this isn’t matt’s usual 1 month lip sync video, but i’ve been dying to do this,” she looks at matt through the phone screen, a small smile plastered on his face. “we listen and we dont judge,” they both say, matt allowing the girl to go first. “okay so,’ she begins, sighing dramatically. “sometimes, after we eat diner and i say im so full, when you come upstairs to play fortnite, i grab a bowl of ice cream and down it”

matt laughs, “thats why you always taste like strawberry afterwards,” you smack his arm playfully, “i always assumed it was your lip balm” he giggles out, leaving a small kiss on your shoulder

"we listen and we don’t judge”

“so, sometimes when you’re telling me about something you saw, or did, or just any story really, i secretly set a timer on my phone to see how long it takes you to finish telling me that story. “matt!” you excaim, hitting his knee, “your record is like 11 minutes” he laughs out, watching as you join him. “thats your minimum record sweetie, that’s the bar i’ve set to get out of the conversation”

“we listen and we dont judge”

“on the rare occasion that i wake up early, and like before you, i just admire you. i even take pictures of you, i have like a whole album of you sleeping, i feel like i have over 200” matt’s jaw drops, “you watch me sleep?!” “hey, hey! we listen and,” ‘we dont judge… okay well sometimes when i say the bluetooth in my car has been acting up it’s really because i don’t wanna hear your music” "babe!" you pout, “i have excellent music taste!!” ‘’i never said you didn’t, sometimes im just not in the mood for taylor swift, “okay… valid”

“we listen and we don’t judge”

“okay this might be a little weird, but when we first started dating, i thought your teeth were the most attractive part of you…” matt side eyes the girl in front of him, “what?” "yeah! honestly it wasn’t even when we started dating, when i first became a fan of the sturniolo triplets, i thought your teeth were just the hottest thing in the world," “is that why you always lick them—” "hey! we listen,” "and we don’t judge. i check your makeup products every 2 weeks to see how you’re doing on them, and if something is below halfway through, i immediately order a replacement” “wait stop, thats so cute” “that’s why i always manage to ‘guess’ what you need in those little baskets i give you” "i love you” you mumble, rubbing your hand on his

“last one?” he asks, bringing your hand up to his mouth, giving it a small peck. “mhm, we listen and we don’t judge. anytime i cook, i never let you serve our plates because i know you’ll give me more food than i’m allowed to eat” matt looks at you through the phone, facial expression a little saddened, “whattt, you know i have a strict diet”

“yeah...but you know i’d still love you if you were a little chunkier…right?" the boy mumbles, rubbing your stomach. “yeah i know, i wouldn’t mind it i suppose, but you know i can’t be due to the roles i get”

“we listen and we don’t judge”

“whenever we have anything in a jar, i always make sure to tighten them as much as i can so you’ll always come ask me for help” matt laughs out, watching as disbelief crawls onto your face. “matthew!” "hey we aren’t judging!!” "wait i have one more! remember that time we watched a scary movie and you couldn’t spend the night?” "yeah?” "after you left, i grabbed the biggest kitchen knife i have and slept with it” matt’s jaw drops, “i was scared!” you giggle, “sweetie that’s so dangerous, you could’ve came with me y'know"

02: calling my boyfriend my husband

your phone was propped up on your vanity, capturing your whole room along with your connected bathroom's door

"hey guys!! come get dressed with me to go on a movie date with my husband!" you exclaim, clasping your hands together

"you said what?" matt's head pokes out from the bathroom, a big smile plastered on his face. "hm?" you ask, tone littered with fake confusion

"who're you going on a date with?" "my husband?" "who?! me!?" he asks, practically bouncing with joy. "yeah! who else?" "so you wanna marry me??" "of course i do!" you laugh out, squealing as the giddy boy runs up to you

he picks you up and spins around, laughing with excitement, "yall heard that?! we're getting married!"

03: trying on my boyfriends clothes while he isnt home

"hellur tiktok, im currently in my boyfriend's closet tryna piece outfits together. where's matt some may ask? great question, think they went to get food"

you stop the clip, grabbing your first outfit; a simple green fresh love shirt with baggy jeans and his red dunks. you're quick to put everything on, pressing the red button on your screen once again

"chris seriously needs to make crop tops" you mumble, grabbing the shirt so it'd fit your figure and tying it with a hair tie. "lowkey, this isnt bad! yes the shoes are huge on me, and i look like im sagging, but nothing a belt cant fix!" you say, walking back to the closet while holding your pants up.

"see!" you say, securing the belt on and giving a 360 spin. "i'd definitely wear this somewhere, maybe a concert? on to the next fit!"

the next clip in your tiktok captures you in the center of the screen, shaking your head no. "i tried to make this work, but this is just a no" you were wearing a classic white tank top paired with grey sweats, and they just didnt make you look good, at least in your eyes

you stop the clip and look at your next option, his infamous pink bear shirt and his blue plaid pajama pants. you actually liked this one, it fit big on you, but it made you feel comfy

"i like this one! next time i spend the night here, imma wear this. yeah its a bit big..." you stretch your hands out, the shirt still covering your belly, "but it's comfy! oh my god, after a long day of rehearsal, when all i wanna do is sleep afterwards?? yeah this is the fit!" you give the camera another 360 spin, arms still extended

you suddenly stop, your face immediately turns a slight shade of red. "baby? what're you doing?" the camera picks up, watching as you put your arms down. "uhhh what does it look like?" you nervously ask, you weren't expecting matt to be home so early, and you especially weren't expecting him to see you like this

"looks like you were trying on my clothes," he licks his lips, a mischievous smile making its way onto his face. "you look good, like really good" he mumbles, entering the room and walking towards you. "matthew be for real," you playfully roll your eyes at him. "oh i am", he swiftly picks you up, kissing you deeply. you instinctively wrap your legs around him, arms going to wrap around his neck as well

"recording. stop it" you mumble, waving to your phone. matt quickly reconnects your lips, walking towards your phone and smacking it down. the last thing it caught before the timer ran out was your squeal as matt threw you onto the bed

a/n: sum light heh, check out my masterlist for more 😛

On Set | Jihyo

smut, 900~ words

You find yourself balls deep in Park Jihyo and in front of a DSLR camera with a very, very bright studio light setup. You both have your knees up on the cheapest couch imaginable—white, tacky, stiff—as your arms hook and pull around hers. Her back has been arched like this for the better part of two minutes, tits presenting (and bouncing) for the camera as dictated by the director. When you finally let go, she moans. It’s performative, satisfactory. But you also know it’s real.

See, you and her go way back. A few years worth. Jihyo has been in the industry for so much longer than you and, despite it having been your first scene together all those years ago, you blew her back out like she fucking deserved—her words, by the way. Phew, that was new. What’s your name again? It stuck with her and you’re vainly proud of that, so much so that every time you’re arranged for a new scene together, she brings in gift baskets and goodies; pampers you in hopes that you fuck her the only way you know—the right way.

As if you’d ever disappoint.

And it’s funny that you’ve never hooked up off the clock—a shame. There’s always a point in conversation, during prep time, where you both laugh at the thought. You have always thought it’d be disastrous in the best of ways. Have to keep the magic on screen, however. 

Something important to note, to digress: this crew sucks at everything. Your agencies both wanted in with a new fledgling studio, your manager called it. Their content is good, consistent, but you’ll be damned if it’s not generic. However it goes and however trite their camerawork, they’re making bank, and you’re there to profit off both of your names alone. 

There’s a before, during, and after to things. The latter two are good: a pretty girl with a pretty face gets railed by some nondescript cock and some part of her ends up glazed white. The former, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Best summarized? Solid creative vision. Near-zero technical prowess.

So, the sound guy needs another break. Something’s off again, he says as you’re mid thrust. The director yells cut for the umpteenth time and you bury yourself to the base to check in with your costar.

“You’re fucking kidding.” Jihyo says under her breath, head turning back to you. She sets her toned arms on the backrest of the couch and lays her head. “How long has it been?”

“Two hours.” 

It should have taken three, but the timer will count four by the end—

You take another long back-and-forth drag inside of her warm, tight cunt.

—Not like you mind.

Jihyo starts pushing back onto it; an experimental one-two, hips bucking ever so slightly with the majority of your cock still inside her folds. You figure she likes the way your balls brush against her clit. You do, too.

“It’d be a shame if—” She shimmies a little side-to-side. “You filled me up and the cameras weren’t rolling.”

Edging for the last hour. How would you say the question lands?

Jihyo snakes a hand under her body to reach for where you’ve started to fuck, slowly, slowly, purposefully. She runs circles with her middle finger, and with a very serious tone: “Keep going.”

Your hands land right where her ass overflows onto her hips when she spreads the knees a bit further apart. Her arch settles. With a long drag back—and a tight grip of that muscled frame—you fuck into her. Once. This firm thrust that makes her whole body shudder. You catch her profile as her lips curl a smile.

“Keep going.” Her fingertips move faster.

And when Jihyo’s asking—“sure”—you keep fucking going.

Okay, the shoot does end up taking four hours, but not because of the staff’s lack of equipment know-how.

You are fucking. Truly, unequivocally, fucking. Like you’ve missed her (you have—she’s fun), like she’s missed you.

The sheer force it takes you to not cum right then and there—to help her reach that ever sought-after climax—is the same force with which you pound Jihyo into the cheap, faux leather couch. You’d swear, later on, how she near melded with the piece of furniture: nail scratches on the surface, the imprint of the seams on her skin. She loves all of it. It’s guilty-pleasure levels of abrasive. You don’t fuck like that on camera. Authenticity can’t be quantified on a payslip.

And for that short amount of time, the set dissipates; the crew vanishes.

Jihyo is cumming—you know this, her tells. Goosebumps all over her skin, from the top of her thighs up to her rippling, reddened cheeks, and the way her moans turn to breathy coos and needy whimpers. You revel in knowing you can split her apart. That same satisfaction ends you in tandem.

Because there’s no other way you would have it, without a doubt. This short burst of fire burns right through your core. Your hands grasp her skin for dear life as your legs cease and stiffen their motion. All of it—the money shot—coats Jihyo’s pulsing cunt in an instant. It sends ripples through you both as you struggle to maintain a semblance of composure. The load washes over your length in this pleasing warmth that has Jihyo shivering through the remainder of her orgasm. Slow quivers. A bit of contented laughter.

“Fuck yes,” escapes her lips before the crew fades back in, curses and yells accompanying an attempt to catch whatever’s left of your unsanctioned stunt.

You’ll take the extra hour.

imagine pornstar!satoru finally convincing his shy girlfriend to show up in one of his videos!!! 🤭

the soft hum of the camera filled the cozy bedroom, a single warm lamp casting golden light over the sheets and your bare skin. the atmosphere was intimate—just the two of you and the gentle blinking of satoru’s streaming setup. he had promised something low-key: no crew, no lights, just the two of you at home. still, the nerves buzzed through you, your heart pounding as the livestream timer ticked on.

your back pressed against his firm chest, his skin warm against yours. his strong arms caged you in, one hand resting possessively on your inner thigh. he coaxed your legs open slowly, gently, like peeling back the layers of your shyness with every inch. his other hand—confident, skilled—moved to your clit, drawing slow, deliberate circles that made your breath hitch and your thighs tremble.

“you’re doing so good, baby,” he whispered low into your ear, his voice smooth like velvet, like sin. “look at them—they already love you.”

you bit your lip, trying to stifle the moan bubbling in your throat as your eyes darted to the screen. The live chat was flying—hearts, fire emojis, compliments. “she’s gorgeous.” “damn, satoru really got a gem.” “she’s so shy, it’s cute as hell.”

your cheeks flushed, and you turned your face away from the camera, burying it into the crook of his neck as he chuckled.

“don’t hide from them, sweetheart,” he said, teasing and tender all at once. “they’re here for you now. for us. you’re the star tonight.”

he kissed the side of your head, then added in a low, rasping whisper just for you, “let them see how good I make you feel… how perfect you are for me.”

his fingers didn’t stop, working your body like he knew every secret, every sweet spot. and even through your nerves, a small part of you started to believe him—maybe you could do this, as long as it was with him.

your breath hitched as his fingers kept those slow, tantalizing circles steady, never too much, never too little. he knew your rhythm better than you did. the tension in your body fought with the growing pleasure, your instincts warring between curling into yourself and melting against him completely.

“you’re shaking,” satoru murmured against your temple, the smile in his voice unmistakable. “Is it the camera… or is it me?”

his thumb slid just a bit lower, pressing down in that way that always made your hips twitch—and they did, drawing a deep groan from his chest as he tightened the arm wrapped around your waist.

you whimpered softly, almost inaudible to anyone but him.

“there she is…” he breathed, kissing just behind your ear. “let them hear you, baby. don’t be shy now—you’re already driving them wild.”

the chat was chaos. lines upon lines of eager comments streamed past your blurred vision:

“her little sounds—fuck.”

“this is better than any of his pro vids.”

“can we keep her?”

satoru grinned at that one. he shifted just slightly, tilting your hips more firmly against him so the camera had the perfect view. his voice dipped, husky and coaxing.

“look up for me, just a second. let them see those pretty eyes.”

your fingers curled into the sheets, hesitating—but you did it. you glanced at the camera, just briefly, your lips parted as a quiet moan finally slipped free. your body trembled again, helpless under his touch, under his gaze, under the heat of all those invisible eyes watching.

“that’s it,” he praised, his fingers never faltering. “you’re doing perfect. you were made for this, sweetheart.”

his tone shifted subtly—still sweet, but heavier now, soaked with promise. his free hand slid up your stomach, grazing your chest, grounding you.

“I think it’s time I really show them how good you are,” he whispered. “what do you think?”

your reply came only in the form of a broken gasp, your head falling back against his shoulder as his fingers finally dipped lower, parting your folds with practiced ease. the teasing was over. he slid two fingers inside you, slow and deep, curling just enough to make your back arch involuntarily against his chest.

“fuck, listen to you,” satoru murmured, lips brushing your cheek as he pumped his fingers inside you, deliberately slow, letting the wet sounds echo into the mic. “so wet, so ready—and we’ve barely started.”

your legs tried to close instinctively, but his hand kept them wide, firm and unrelenting. the camera caught everything: the soft tremble of your thighs, the way your fingers clenched into the fabric of his shirt, the glassy look in your eyes as he worked you open.

“you wanted this, didn’t you?” he asked, his voice low, coaxing, just shy of taunting. “all that blushing, all that shy little hesitation—and now look at you.”

you whimpered again, louder this time, your hips starting to move with him, grinding back against the hard line of his cock through his sweatpants. he was so hard against you, twitching with restraint, but making no move to rush. this was about you—about showing you off, letting the world watch as you fell apart in his arms.

“I should let them see what you look like when you cum,” he whispered against your ear, nibbling the lobe before he nuzzled into your neck. “they’d love that. i’d love that.”

his thumb returned to your clit, circling it in tandem with the thrust of his fingers. every movement was designed to unravel you, to make you forget the camera, the audience, your own nerves. just you, him, and the slick, aching heat growing fast in your belly.

“tell me when you’re close,” he said, his voice strained now, barely holding back. “I want them to hear it. I want you to give them everything.”

your hips bucked and your breath hitched into desperate, pleading little moans. his free hand reached up to cup your breast, thumb brushing over your nipple in sync with the rhythm of his other hand. the dual sensation made your back arch, thighs twitching as you felt your orgasm coil hot and tight in your belly.

“look at you,” satoru growled softly, his mouth hot against your neck, breath ragged as his fingers fucked you deeper, faster now. “so fucking tight around my fingers. you hear that, baby? that’s you—dripping for me like a perfect little mess.”

your whimpers turned into broken moans, louder now, spilling from your lips before you could stop them. the camera, the audience—forgotten. all you could focus on was the slick glide of his fingers, the obscene wet sounds echoing from between your thighs, and the pressure building with every precise swirl of his thumb over your clit.

“shit—you’re so close, aren’t you?” he rasped, his voice dark and hungry. “I can feel you squeezing me. you gonna cum just from my fingers, in front of everyone?”

you couldn’t speak—you could barely breathe. your hips bucked helplessly against his hand, chasing every stroke, every grind.

“they’re all watching you fall apart,” he murmured with a crooked grin, his eyes flicking to the chat. “they’re fucking obsessed, baby. and they haven’t even seen what you look like when you come. give it to me. show them.”

you nodded shakily, your voice a quiet plea: “please…”

“say it louder,” he teased, fingers unrelenting as he brought you closer with each stroke. “let them hear how desperate you are.”

“please, satoru,” you moaned, louder this time, barely holding back the wave crashing through you. “I’m so close, please…”

his hand didn’t stop. “cum for me, baby. right here, in front of all of them. show them who you belong to.”

that was it—the words, the pressure, the heat. your moan ripped from your throat, long and trembling, your thighs shaking as you came around his fingers, clenching tight with wet pulses. your head fell back, mouth parted, eyes fluttering closed as wave after wave crashed through you, your voice finally breaking free and echoing into the mic.

the moan that finally spilled out was loud, unfiltered, and pure. satoru groaned quietly behind you, clearly affected by the way your body shuddered in his arms, his name tumbling from your lips like a prayer.

“fuck, that’s it, baby,” he breathed, still working you through it. “so fucking perfect. let them see how good I make you cum. that’s my girl.”

the chat exploded. you didn’t even have to look—you felt it, a wave of electric approval washing over you like a second high.

and satoru? he kissed your jaw, slow and sweet, still smiling.

“think they’ll be begging for a sequel?”

The Bombs of Columbine

Disclaimer: This post does not provide any instructions on how to create a bomb or a timing device. Instead, it offers an analysis of the reasons behind the failure of certain timers, focusing on basic electronic circuitry. While this post discusses the reasons for the timers' failures, it does not detail the modifications necessary for them to function properly. The overall design was fundamentally flawed, and it was intended for ignition in an oxygen-deprived environment.

I must clarify that I have never constructed an explosive device, nor would I ever. The following are merely observations.

Why Did the Cafeteria Bomb Timers Fail?

For those familiar with basic circuitry, the issues become apparent when examining the accompanying photo:

It is commonly believed that to create a timing device from a manual alarm clock, the hands must be made of metal. It has been rumored that this particular model featured plastic hands, which would prevent the circuit from being completed. Although plastic cannot complete a circuit, two factors render this point moot: (1) there exists a straightforward method to utilize plastic hands, and (2) their timers were not designed to complete the circuit using the clock hands.

The absence of a screw in the faceplate indicates that the design did not allow for the necessary circuit completion. Clock hands typically need to connect with a metal post on the faceplate to complete the circuit. In this case, the circuit was entirely dependent on the bells, yet they failed to establish a robust connection. This suggests that they likely received inadequate instructions.

Another clock also lacks a screw:

Lack of Evidence for Timer Testing

If they had successfully tested their timing circuitry, it is likely they would have done so in an open setting, as igniting a fuse with electricity is not as straightforward as using a lighter or match. While they may have employed matches, if they could not ignite the fuse electrically, the matches would not serve their purpose.

Did the Timers Ignite When the Alarm Went Off?

A closer examination of the photos implies that these timing devices did ignite. However, they appear to have originated from the bombs found in Dylan Klebold's vehicle, which were disrupted via a controlled explosion. Observing their circuitry suggests they lacked sufficient power due to (1) a weak, ineffective circuit that rapidly connected and disconnected through the bells, and (2) an inadequate ignition source (a 9V battery).

The absence of a screw in the faceplate indicates that the timers were not designed to complete the circuit via the hands.

The following video demonstrates the potential power of similar circuitry: [https://youtu.be/lG8WWxGqojY]. This illustrates the actual ignition potential of their timers—indeed, it was less than that.

Their circuitry lacked the capability to ignite anything beyond fireworks. It appears their setup was akin to what children might use to ignite fireworks remotely. It is plausible that they tested timers on smaller fireworks before attempting to use them for larger explosives.

Was a Diversionary Bomb Really Kicked?

I am skeptical of the claim that a diversionary bomb was kicked or moved, which subsequently ignited. This narrative seems to serve as a cover for why the bag merely started a fire without causing an explosion. They previously stated that two separate café bombs failed due to a single loose wire, a claim that is implausible. Aside from the car bombs that were disrupted, it appears all their timers at least ignited to some degree.

Evidence of Weak Clocks

In the second photo, the alarm hand is not visible. When this type of alarm sounds, the minute hand overlaps the alarm hand, obscuring it. This clock has likely sustained damage, possibly from being disrupted in Dylan's BMW. The lack of the alarm hand suggests two possibilities:

The timing device ignited as a result of weak circuitry.

The device sounded the alarm but did not generate enough electricity to ignite the match and fuse combination.

A common misconception is that the timers indicate the time they were set to explode, which is unlikely. If this device ignited something, it does not necessarily mean it did so at the time shown on the clock.

Circuit Wiring Without the Hands

They likely configured their timers to complete the circuit using the hammer to ring the bells. This configuration is not functional for anything beyond hobby projects and should not be considered a viable method for creating explosives.

The following video illustrates the results of igniting a similar ignition source: [https://youtu.be/5yjeUDBeXJ0]. This demonstrates the maximum ignition potential they had.

The initial "fire" was not intended to cause an explosion but rather to initiate a series of ignition sources leading to a larger fire. Even under optimal conditions, their design would have been ineffective.

What About the 'Deadly' Crickets?

Statements regarding the so-called "deadly crickets" reveal significant misunderstandings. It is nearly impossible to create a "faulty cricket," as it consists simply of powder and a fuse. The described device—a Molotov cocktail with a cricket attached—was not "faulty"; it simply required ignition.

The nature of the device they described indicates that it posed no danger unless someone actively lit the fuse. Even in larger quantities, these devices would not have posed a threat without ignition.

This article serves as a reminder of how law enforcement may exaggerate the threat posed by these devices to mitigate backlash regarding their response. The portrayal of Eric and Dylan as legendary school shooters and failed bombers is misleading; the reality is far less dramatic.

5+1 landoscar fic idea where Lando is an OnlyFans streamer and Oscar is his cute mechanical engineer bf. 5 times his chat ogles his bf and the 1 time he ogles his bf. They live in a penthouse and Lando insists on streaming from the living room because the lighting is better there, so he puts his setup on the coffee table which also gives his fans a view of the kitchen in the background.

The first time they see Lando’s boyfriend is because Oscar comes by to grab a glass of water after a workout, all sweaty with messy prince hair and rosy undereye blush, his juicy ass popping out as he tiptoes to grab a glass from the cabinets and Lando’s chat goes wild.

The next time they see him is when Lando’s been edging himself with a thick vibrator for an hour, and Oscar’s gotten bored of waiting to get cooking. So he starts preparing dinner over the kitchen counter, kneading pasta dough. Chat starts going off rambling about the mounds of his pecs as they press together when he pushes and the way his biceps bulge and strain the sleeves of his shirt, to the point Lando starts whining that he’s the star of the show and has been putting on an incredible performance in between shaky moans and deserves the praising.

Third time is barely a crumb, Oscar coming home from a bicycle workout in his tight lycra outfit. The chat drools over his slim thick hourglass figure, his fat ass and the imprint of his dick as he passes by in the background. They fantasize about the dirtiest things they could do to his perfectly breedable figure and Lando has to chastise them by reminding everyone he’s the bottom in this household, and Oscar is way too good at pining him down and fucking him three ways to tomorrow for Lando to be anything but a pillow princess.

Fourth time happens when Oscar’s baking, leaning against the counter in his athletic shorts and comfy hoodie. Once the oven’s timer goes off he bends over to grab the cake. Chat gets a full view of his voluptuous cake and the way his thick thighs with a faint dusting of hairs smush together. Lando gets confused by how horny his chat is and all the eating cake innuendos.

Fifth time Oscar has just come out of the shower, towel slung low on his hips, as he rushed to check on Lando because he was hearing weird noises. Turns out he was just really into the perineum massaging device he was using and when Oscar turns around to go back in the bathroom his viewers swoon at the shift of his back muscles and his wet hair.

Finally Lando, all pouty, calls Oscar to his help when he hears the front door closing since he can’t figure out how his new toy works. Oscar arrives with his neat suit and blushy cheeks, hair all messy after a long day of big strong company work and starts reading the instructions to him. Chat salivates at his bf (as per) and he coyly winks at them before ending the stream and jumping Oscar so he can ogle his bf in peace.

✧ ˚.The Ultimate Study Guide: How to Become a Top-Tier Student ✨📚

Hi besties! 💖 It’s Mindy here, your resident study buddy and glow-up guru at Glowettee. I wanna talk about how to become a top-tier student this upcoming year without losing your sanity—or your vibe. Imagine sipping on a latte, surrounded by pastel notes and cute stationery, feeling like the main character of your academic journey. That’s the energy we’re channeling today. Ready to take your study game from blah to iconic? Hopefully these tips could help prepare for the second semester!

1. Active Recall and Spaced Repetition Hacks

Okay, so here’s the deal: simply reading your notes is not the move. You’ve got to make your brain work a little harder to really soak in all that info.

Active recall: Write down questions from your notes and try answering them without looking. This forces your brain to actually retrieve the information (and helps you remember it longer!).

Spaced repetition: Spread out your study sessions instead of cramming. Use apps like Anki or Quizlet to create digital flashcards that you review over time. Bonus: Anki is super aesthetic if you customize the fonts and colors. 🌸

2. How to Make Study Sessions Feel Luxurious

Studying doesn’t have to feel like a chore, babe. Here’s how to romanticize the grind:

Set the mood: Light a candle, play soft lofi beats, and wear your coziest silk robe. (Yes, the fancy one.)

Aesthetic setup: Use pastel highlighters, cute pens, and a clean desk space. Your desk should feel like a Pinterest board come to life.

Snacks & drinks: Treat yourself to something yummy like matcha lattes or chocolate-covered almonds. A chic study session is fueled by snacks, trust me. 🍵

3. Step-by-Step Pomodoro Method Breakdown for Focus

Pomodoro is basically magic for productivity. Here’s how to do it:

Set a timer for 25 minutes and work on one task. (Pro tip: Choose something specific, like summarizing one chapter.)

Take a 5-minute break after each session. Stretch, grab a sip of water, or scroll Pinterest for inspo.

Repeat four times, then take a longer 20-30 minute break. Use this time to dance around your room or journal—it’s all about balance.

🦢 ✧ ˚.Why it works: Breaking your tasks into bite-sized chunks makes studying less overwhelming and way more manageable. Plus, the breaks keep you refreshed and motivated.🦢 ✧ ˚.

4. Best Apps for Studying

Bestie, your phone doesn’t have to be a distraction—it can be your ultimate study tool. Here are my faves:

Notion: Perfect for organizing your study schedule and creating dreamy, color-coded notes. You can even add cute icons and headers to make it so aesthetic. (SPOILER!! I'll be making some soon for you guys!!)

Quizlet: Great for flashcards and testing yourself on key terms. Bonus: You can use other people’s study sets if you’re short on time.

Anki: Ideal for mastering those tough subjects (hello, bio and chem!). The spaced repetition feature is a lifesaver for long-term retention.

Forest: Keeps you off your phone by growing virtual trees while you study. The guilt of killing your tree will keep you focused, I promise. 🌳

5. How to Romanticize School and Make It Fun

Here’s the tea: school doesn’t have to be boring. Treat every class like a stepping stone to your dream life.

Dress the part: Show up like the best-dressed main character. Think Blair Waldorf vibes but comfy—plaid skirts, cozy cardigans, and knee-high socks are always a win.

Curate your supplies: Invest in cute stationery, a pastel planner, and maybe even a monogrammed tote bag. If it feels luxurious, you’ll want to use it.

Celebrate small wins: Finished a chapter? Reward yourself with a TikTok break or a face mask. You deserve it.

Shift your mindset: Instead of dreading school, think of it as part of your glow-up. Every essay, test, or project is one step closer to the 🦢 ✧ ˚.elite🦢 ✧ ˚. version of you.

Final Thoughts

You’ve got this, babe. Becoming a top-tier student is about working smarter, not harder—and looking cute while doing it. Make your study sessions a vibe, stay consistent with these hacks, and watch your grades (and confidence) skyrocket. Remember: You’re not just studying for school; you’re building the foundation for your dream life. 💕

Let me know how you’re leveling up your study game in the comments or tags! And don’t forget to tag @glowettee if you post your aesthetic study setups—I’d love to see them. ✨

Xoxo, Mindy/Glowettee 🌸

I had the same issue with world but it's wild (heh) to me that the community around monhun is getting so max/min desperate when nothing has changed about the core balance of monhun.

like from day 1 it's been "if you can hit the monster and not die, you're doing enough" but in world, in part because of the rapid community expansion, in part because they put fucking damage numbers in the game (shoulda just been more defined hit sparks to say if it's a weakspot or armored spot, numbers were a mistake), in part because modern online discussion, in part because more skill details were put in game instead of needing things like kiranico to know what a skill actually does- but the general community became MUCH more desperate to be decked in that max/min setup, regardless of actually learning the gameplay part or fun, they just NEEDED the build.

No longer did you hear general discussion be "I want to make a really insane water build! I want to wear full x monster! I want to make an evasion build!" it's all "Biggest number for my weapon pls :)"

and now in wilds I'm hearing people go "You're really not bringing a secondary weapon to instant break x part of y monster so you can swap back to your primary and end the hunt in 3 minutes instead of 3:30?" and like, dude.

what's your deal?

I suppose this is primarily an issue with where I'll hear discussion, can't divorce my part in the exposure. This isn't a universal monhun thing because tons of people are still having fun instead of joining... idk, youtuber/reddit 'The Correct Way To Play' circles?

So my exposure is my problem. And in part because *I* like making my builds cohesively strong so fair point fair point.

it's just weird to me that I've been interested in things like hame sets for years and years and now the discussions I see in more mainline monhun circles seem to be "You NEED a speedrun best numbers biggest numbers best boom set so the hunt ends instantly or else you're failing at the game" and I'm like "Hunts are still like 50 minute timers, 35 if it's feisty, the way you are discussing the game is not accurate to how the game is."

I like making a big number build, I have some I really miss and cherish from some of the older games, but like.

there's more to do and that's a weird tone to carry lmao.

eh old man yells at clouds and wants cake and to eat it too since I like making "good" builds but am complaining about all the people talking about good builds (it's HOW it's spoken of, not THAT it's spoken of).

I get that I'm wrong, whatever
