Breaking News: Tumblr somehow shocked by the fact that Adam looks like... Adam.
Yes, the mask-off reveal did hit me like a punch in the gut, but only because I wasn't EXPECTING to *ACTUALLY SEE VIVZIEPOP-ANIMATED ADAM UNDER THERE*. That, once again, was a headcanon I had AS A *JOKE*.
Like my brain saw "Adam, but an Archangel, strong aura of 80s rock music", and autofilled what he would look like under that mask.
I was so deeply unprepared for that initial assumption to be correct.
and now he might be in Hell again. and that's HILARIOUS.

the one thing i will never understand is swap aus that include swapping the characters’ personalities entirely. like i guess have fun but isn’t that boring to you ? it’s the same story... the same or very similar dialogue... the same conflicts and the same resolution to those conflicts.. nothing's changed except the faces of the main characters - kind of. because when redesigning the characters for a swap au people tend to default to simply making them look as much like the person they've been swapped with as possible. which! is fun and is probably pretty good design practice. like seriously do whatever you want who cares i just feel like swap aus are underutilized in a lot of ways. i find them way more interesting as a way to test one's understanding of the characters and the story at hand
like the premise of my Deltamess au. put noelle in kris's shoes while kris gets put in noelle's. what happens? how do they respond to certain events? what choices do they make, and what new events occur as a result of these choices? noelle and kris are two very specific kinds of people, and their core personalities will never change. but what traits might show more prominently? which are repressed? when presented in entirely different circumstances, how do their various friendships form and how do they change over time?
part of why i set up deltamess the way i did is because i wanted to look at noelle and berdly's friendship. i've talked before about how its foundation is one of proximity, and i keep citing mae and bea's conversation about that same thing at the end of night in the woods but i'm so serious about it. like literally i wasn't going to do anything with this au until i asked the same question mae asks bea: "Do [I] think [they'd] be friends if [they] weren't, like, stuck together in the same town? Like [they] were stuck together in [the spelling bee]? Like... uh... is this just... what's the word?" "Proximity?"
and it's going to take at least two multi-chapter fics for me to answer that :')
like isn't that more fun? there's so much more room for creativity. you can tell a whole new story, and it's still with the same characters we all know and love. it's just that different people behave very differently in our favorite established scenarios, and perhaps they create problems that don't exist in canon. or maybe they solve problems faster than the original main characters do. i'd like to see more people's interpretations of This sort of thing, y'know

sometimes i like Think about the httyd books and just. frick. they’re absolutely Amazing. the movies did not do them justice At All, sorry they just… completely obliterated the characters and lore and relationships (platonic relationships in favor of a forced romantic one—), dragons…
nothing can compare to hiccup’s epilogues or camacazi’s existence or alvin just surviving on spite or hiccup and toothless’ relationship or how important fishlegs is and just. frick. y eah.
the books are an incredible masterpiece from the writing to the lore (seriously!!! the dragonese pages and the dragon info pages!!!) to the illustrations to even the freaking aUDIOBOOK RECORDINGS OMG THEY’RE SO GOOD??? just. this series deserves so much more love

getting it together⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🍡
it feels GOOD to have all ur assignments done. to actively pursue ur dreams and goals. to be consistent and in turn -> see results. it feels good to give meaning to ur time and experience sustained satisfaction. this post will give an overview/guide of the BASICS of getting it together. that way whenever u get off track (cuz we're all human) u can easily reference this and get it TOGETHER.
SLEEP SCHEDULE - how does ur sleep schedule look? is it all over the place? fix it. the plan is to get between the range of 8-10 hours of sleep every single night (yes even on the weekends) and to wake up no later than 8 in the morning.
i recommend formulating a "get ready for bed" routine. mine is set with a soothing playlist, a cup of tea, and copious time for self care and meditating on my manifestations. ur night time routine is customizable to YOU, however the goal is to get away from screens or anything that'll tempt you to stay up at unhealthy hours.
THE MORNING ROUTINE - i think that the most influential and important time of the day is the morning. bcuz for me that sets the mood of my whole entire day, so i take my mornings SERIOUSLY and i think you should too.
for me in the morning, i do a light pilates workout/stretch to get my blood pumping, and i feel like it gives me such a boost of energy and sets the mood for the whole day so if u haven't tried i rly recommend working out in the morning. however since this post is for when you've gotten off track start SMALL. a short 5-10 minute stretch or pilates routine is more than enough.
THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING READY - and i'll STAND ON THIS. even if ur not going anywhere at all that day, make an effort to get ready. make casual glamor a HABIT. getting ready is like, the best part of my day. its so therapeutic, something about the meticulous attention and the amount of time that i pour into myself it feels AMAZING. when u look good -> you feel good
A TO DO LIST - plan out ur week, plan out ur day, ur month. make a super cute calendar or agenda so that way you can get ur tasks done. im someone who needs super detailed instructions of what TO do, so when ik what im supposed to do i can get it done and i can get it done well. and instead of thinking of it as a to-do list, think of it as like a quest or something. tasks that u need to do and then -> you get something in return
ik it sounds rly dumb but sometimes when theres a mundane task that i know i must do, i imagine that im like a SIMS character who has no choice. or i imagine myself as a video game character who is doing it as a task cuz its part of the game. the point of me sharing that hot tip is to make it FUN for yourself. give urself something to look forward to afterwards too. like an episode of ur favorite drama, or a sweet treat.
CLEAN UP - a cluttered space = a cluttered mind. take 20 minutes aside everyday to tidy up so that then u can avoid the day-long cleaning on the weekend and actually enjoy it. when ur space is neat and organized, so is ur mind and it translates to how u view/respect urself. u show that you respect urself when u dwell in a place that it is neat and tidy.
PROPEL YOURSELF - when i've been rotting for a couple days, my go-to routine to propel myself back into my usual swing is : shower (an everything shower is a bit ambitious so go for it if u want) -> drink a COLDDD large glass of water -> do the process of getting ready and then do at least 3 tasks and 2 smaller tasks)
