#umbradus boba

Boba! This is an older drawing I quickly adjusted to fit more in my current style. She stands at 130 cm.

She is made entirely out of food due to a curse. Though I advise you to not eat her. That's rude and you'll cause a zombie apocalypse. I'm only half kidding about that last part btw.

In the past, she was the best researcher in the world. That was before she accidentally unleashed a candy curse upon Parfait desert. Whoops. said curse reduces all human intelligence and turns people into candy monsters. Only Boba managed to not get turned into a creature because of her location and dumb luck (She was in the curse's eye of the storm). But her mind suffered severely. Being reduced to one of a child. (her body was reduced too. She's just a child with a lot of knowledge, but doesn't know what it means.)

Currently, she resides with Stella in Pluviopolis (the same city Vaco & Zephyr live in)

Thank you! It looks great!

I don't asj if it's rude to ask you again, but I REALLY LIKED the drawing last time?

If you want to, could you please draw this other OC of mine? Her name's Boba's

Here's Boba!!

Doodle!

Boba was punched and she was the one sent to the teacher's office.

Vaco and Stella are planning murder (°∇°)⁠ﾉ

(I haven't even introduced y'all to 2/3 of these OCs)

[ask-umbradus]

Doodle.

[ask-umbradus]

Regarding the last post Boba wouldn't cry in that situation actually. She would have a more... creative reaction.

Some doodles of Boba, Zephyr, and a character I haven't introduced yet. They'll probably get a redesign sometime.

I was trying expressions.

Act on What Matters: Align Your Goals with Present Priorities and Future Vision

Take Control of Your Life by Focusing on What Truly Matters, and take Action.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant demands of life. With so many distractions and responsibilities, people often lose focus on what truly matters. The key to leading a purposeful and fulfilling life lies in identifying what’s important, setting clear goals. And then take focused action in areas aligned with both your current reality and your future aspirations.

Identify What Needs Improvement in Your Life

The first step to meaningful personal development is self-awareness. Take time to reflect on your current life situation. What feels off or unbalanced? What area of life is causing stress or dissatisfaction?

Ask yourself questions like:

Am I progressing in my career?

Do I feel emotionally fulfilled?

Is my financial life stable and growing?

Do I have strong, healthy relationships?

Am I maintaining my physical and mental health?

These questions will help you pinpoint key concerns and recognize where change is necessary. Once identified, categorize each concern under broader life domains, such as:

Professional Growth

Personal Development

Financial Stability

Social Connections

Knowing which domain your concerns belong to helps you prioritize and plan with clarity.

Align Your Goals with Your Current Life Phase

Your priorities naturally shift as life evolves. Someone in their early career phase has very different needs than someone who is newly married or raising children.

Here are a few examples:

Starting a Career: Focus on skill-building, networking, and establishing a professional presence.

New Parenthood: Balance career with parenting, while nurturing emotional connection with your partner.

New Relationships: Invest in emotional intelligence, communication, and shared growth.

Financial Transition: Whether saving for a home or planning for retirement, set financial goals that support your long-term plans.

Recognizing which life phase you are currently in will help you choose goals that are realistic and meaningful. Don’t try to chase every dream at once. Instead, act on what matters most right now.

Set Milestone Goals That Lead to Long-Term Success

Once you’ve identified your key focus areas, it’s time to break down your vision into milestone goals and actionable steps. Many people set big, ambitious goals but fail because they don’t plan the journey properly.

Here’s how you can break it down:

Big Goal: This is your ultimate outcome. (e.g. Become financially independent)

Milestone Goals: Medium-term achievements that bring you closer to the big goal. (e.g. Save 25K dollars in one year, pay off debts, build passive income)

Action Goals: Daily or weekly tasks that push each milestone forward. (e.g. Track expenses, invest monthly, learn a high-income skill)

When you convert abstract dreams into structured, track-able actions, you build momentum. This method also gives you a clear way to measure progress, which boosts confidence and motivation.

Stay Focused on What Truly Matters

It’s easy to get sidetracked by what others expect from you or what’s trending on social media. But true satisfaction comes from living in alignment with your own values and vision.

Here are three simple ways to stay aligned:

Weekly Reviews: Reflect on what worked and what didn’t. Adjust your actions accordingly.

Value-Based Decisions: Say "yes" only to things that support your goals or bring joy.

Energy Audit: Pay attention to what drains you vs. what energizes you. Double down on the latter.

Remember, you don’t have to do it all. You only need to do what matters—deeply, consistently, and with intention.

I'm going to repost a lot of my own art from the other blog btw.
