experiencing anger doesn’t make you a mean person. it doesn’t mean your heart isn’t still soft and you aren’t still full of love. anger is just another way to express emotions, and just as there are times to be sad and cry, and there are times to laugh and enjoy yourself, there can be times to be angry and feel upset

How to Glow Up for School
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Got an ask for tips to glow up, thought I'd make a separate post for it too.
⭐Workout⭐:
There's no rule that the gym is the only place to workout.
Youtube videos: There are tons and tons of great workout videos from people with a large following. My favourites are Caroline Girvan, growingannanas, Pamela Reif and Madfit. Go get sweaty!
Makeshift weights: You can water bottles filled with water/sand as weights or buy ankle weights to put around your wrists as you get stronger.
Run: This is an amazing source of cardio. I gave up a while back on this because I detest running, but it really does work. Plug in your headphones and go for a run in nature.
Dance: Dancing is a really fun way to workout. Try Zumba, hip-hop or K-pop routines. Hell, even Just Dance has some good ones. Join a class if you want to stay accountable.
Let me know if you want me to drop my workout routine too
⭐Diet⭐:
Honestly, I can't give much advice here, because I'm not qualified enough. Go to a nutritionist to see if there's anything you can do. If not, eat plenty of protein and fibre, limit your junk food intake and drink lots of water. Make lots of salads and fruit bowls. Overnight oats are healthy, filling and delicious.
What I like to do, is eat everything in moderation. Say I've had a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner. I won't deny myself a nice bowl of ice cream (again, not a sundae, the key is moderation). But if I've had greasy food for lunch and takeout for dinner, I'll probably settle for fruit instead. Know that you can eat without punishing yourself, but remember not to go overboard. Food is fuel, remember.
⭐Other tips⭐:
Skincare: Don't make it too fancy. I know influencers and the like have those weird 15-step skincare routines, but it isn't necessary. I use the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and the most basic Cetaphil face lotion I could find along with an organic lip balm my mom buys. It works like a charm and its not too fancy. I also take an ABC smoothie (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot + some water.) This is such a game-changer.
Abundance mindset: I like to think of the universe constantly working in my favour. It's always looking out for me, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world. What you think is what you attract. If you think negatively, you will begin to see only bad things around you. Stay positive.
Wardrobe: Go thrifting, or DIY some old clothes. Pinterest has tons of amazing ideas. Paint your T-shirts, dye your skirts, make cute jewellery at home. There are no limits.
Makeup: I don't recommend it honestly. I'm more or less anti makeup to the point where I only own two pieces of makeup(eyeliner and lip gloss) and even those are used sparingly. Don't get used to your painted face. Your natural beauty is beautiful; and should not be hidden. There's something so amazing in someone who is confident in their own skin. Own yourself, and people will love you more for it.
Hope this helps you become the best version of yourself. Baby steps to your goal, okay? This takes time and with consistency, you WILL get there. Stay lovely. xoxo

First era: active simblrs
The first order of business here is to reblog all the content that was made and is being made by simblrs that are still active members of this community.
This does mean there will be a queue as I go through people's blogs and posting their CC on here, and it might get spammy so I apologize in advance. But hey, look on the bright side, maybe you'll find some old CC of that one creator you really like that you haven't seen before! You never know 😘
Second era: inactive simblrs
The second phase will involve digging a little deeper into other CC finds blogs and reblogging older content from simblrs that are no longer active parts of the community
Third era: separate blogs and wix-sites
Third phase will be to dig even deeper on individual websites of older creators. There will be separate posts made on the CC they released with as much relevant information as possible.
Fourth era: Mod the Sims
Next in the line up I will be going through Mod the Sims and making separate posts on this blog with all the information that is available. I will not be doing this for every post on the site, just the ones that are qualitatively good and/or useful, this includes programs.
Fifth era: The Sims Resource
It has to happen at some point sadly, so The Sims Resource will be scoured for all relevant posts. I will not be including everything that is on there, because there is a lot of frankly ugly and low quality stuff on there from the early years, but I will again be making separate posts for TSR sets and items of quality.
**This timeline is a loose draft of what I want to do. It is subject to change and during all eras I will still reblog newly released CC**
XOXO, gossip girl sim-songs, your ever loyal moderator lol 😊

Saw you were feeling down, so I decided to give you some love.
Writing. Ah man, writing is such a horrid thing to be good at. Your mind is at a constant war, for the ideas you have keep battling each other. Everything, and I do mean everything inspires new ones.
The ability you have to write is a gift. You may get a novel length critique, but now that a novel lenght love ode to you can be written me every day, and for every rude comment.
I like to think of myself as a writer too, that was consumed by the loudness of worlds I created in my mind. I have not written a word for almost two years. But You, dear friend, inspired me to pick up my pen once again.
I am for ever grateful 🩵
Never allow the emptiness of others, over shadow your ability to create a life on paper.
Much love,
- M.
Thanks honeybee for such encouragement, it means a lot. I am warmed to hear you are writing again and am sending creative energy your way ✨✨✨
People are under the belief that I am a seasoned writer or something and dissecting the story as if AO3 were goodreads or some shit. I have never written anything in my entire life before this. So when people think I know what I’m doing my instinctual reaction is like
Tumblr media
The Darkgarden is a jumble of my own personal monologues more than anything else.
I need to step away from her for a while. My current association with the fic isn’t great, and that coupled with the insurmountable pressure of like thousands of people reading every update has me shrinking. She needs to breathe. I’ll be moderating comments for the time being.
Throwing some fun moodboard stuff on queue for tumblr but in general need to separate a bit from acotar and write independently of internet engagement. Probs on my other fics, there’s less pressure there and they are soothing to write. Turning off anons for a bit too.
Not doing great on a few fronts. Currently watching the only thing I live and breathe to protect being actively destroyed everyday. I can’t say what that is doing to my soul.
Tumblr media
all i can say is that i am burning right along with her.
Xoxo all my love.

TODAY'S POST (01/17/2023) : SUN SIGN SERIES ! 🌞 THE SUN IN PISCES ! ♡
Tumblr media
POLARITY : VIRGO ♍︎
Man or woman, you’re either a proud slut to that special one (or many) or you’re the complete opposite and are like the shy Virgin Mary, pulling from Virgo, the VIRGIN MAIDEN. Virgo is the virgin, making the opposite, Pisces, the "whore." You enjoy PLEASURE 🪷 and may overindulge in it, b/c you are esoterically ruled by Venus ✨ , along with Gemini ! They can make very beautiful people, since Venus rules love, beauty & money. Venus also rules pleasure ! This is often sex, food, luxury, etc. I notice plenty of Pisces Suns LOVE food, but Taurus and Cancer typically get the rep for being the "foodies" of the zodiac. Pisces' CAN EAT !! I know so many Pisces who are always eating ! Lolol !! You tend to overindulge, be careful! Everything should be done in moderation! Less, is MORE ! XOXO ! 🫧
NOTE : Remember this is just the SUN sign, therefore, this is a general analysis. You will need an entire chart done, so take what resonates … And if you're in denial, you'll just be in denial. I am an upcoming professional astrologer. I have been doing this for 5 years and will consider myself a TRUE professional after at least 10-20 years of practice. Thank you. ♡
NOTE : DO NOT REPOST MY WORK WITHOUT CONSENT OR WITHOUT GIVING PROPER CREDIT BY @ MENTIONING MY BLOG, FIRST!! ALL CONTENT ARE DMC COPYRIGHT PROTECTED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED !
Tumblr media
Pisces Suns can actually be really funny, due to their rich, tailor made imagination and sometimes child-like nature. You may FEEL other people’s energy when you walk into a room and you may even ABSORB these energies too if you’re not careful. You of all the signs know what pain really is. You may mistake and confuse (Neptune rules confusion) these energies, feelings and emotional waves and undercurrents as your own and they can have a toxic affect on you, sometimes for the rest of your life. This is another reason why Pisces are one of the TOP serial killers, next to their mirror self, Virgo. Cancers, another water sign, like Pisces is definitely up there too. Just like a Cancer’s emotions constantly tick and change like a clock or the phases of the moon, the Pisces man or woman is constantly changing personalities of all the twelve signs. Almost like switching souls, not just zodiac signs, each and every day or even every hour, since the Sun is the SOUL in the birth chart. Pisces is PSYCHIC. 🫧 As a child, you may have seen or talked to ghosts and spirits. My mother and also a lot of my cousins are Pisces Suns. The cousin I grew up with most, used to point out ghosts and scare the living sh*t out of the adults around, since you are closer to your spiritual side or the spirit world as a child, before you are tainted with aging and life on Earth. This is why you relate more to your soul chart aka your draconic chart AS A CHILD ! Some sadly seem to completely lose touch with their psychic self/spiritual side in their adult years. You probably even had an imaginary friend growing up, since Pisces/Neptune rules imagination and dreams or daydreaming. I remember my mother telling me a woman who turned out to be a ghost gave her a basket of strawberries 🧺 🍓 when she was about 7 years old and then the woman was never seen again. Her step-dad knew the woman and her entire name, but told my mom that the woman was already dead and he kinda thought she stole the strawberries for a min, until he got chills & goosebumps by her story. When the woman was a alive, she had a strawberry garden. They say, when you get a sudden chill, a ghost or spirit is near. She had a full blown conversation with a woman who was never even there. She was already dead for about 20 years. You're extremely psychic or you can be the complete opposite and think the spiritual side to life is complete nonsense, pulling from Virgo, who is more about LOGIC, intellect, common sense and the material, mundane side of life. One negative side to Pisces is that they can actually be very deceptive chameleons, pulling from the trickster himself/herself, VIRGO ! Earth signs, like Virgo are the most diabolical of all of the elements.
Tumblr media
It could take a lot to satisfy your libido. You typically have a high sex drive and a high, hyperactive, rich, dreamy imagination. ☁️ You could even be the complete opposite and could seem almost completely put off by sex or you could go a very long time without it, saving yourself for the right one, pulling from Virgo, the Virgin maiden. Mercury signs like Virgo and Gemini value intelligence more than the physical. You are magical and magnificent ! Your planetary ruler, Neptune makes you MESMERIZING, just like the gorgeous, sparkling, wavy ocean ! Neptune is a foreign, alien planet that sits in and watches over our solar system, just like Uranus. Alien literally means "not from here." Hence, why Uranus and Neptune are a COUPLE in the wonderful, deep, astrological anime called "Sailor Moon!" 🌙 They are and belong FAR from "here," and I'm sure most Pisces' and Aquarius' would much rather be somewhere else, which is why they tend to "check out" a lot, here on Earth. They're not all there, trust me … 😂 especially Pisces. 🐠 The men can definitely be "horn dogs" and somewhat manipulative and the women can almost as equally horny and manipulative if they want to be, sometimes without realizing, where their fantasy world takes over. However, in love, they'll do ANYTHING for you. ANYTHING. Sometimes they do TOO MUCH ! Pisces is about sacrifice ! Ex : Chrisean Rock. Remember, LOVE NEVER FAILS !! If it fails, then it wasn't love. It wasn’t meant to be !
Tumblr media
Pisces can be very sensitive, like all water signs. They are the "emotions" or "emotional signs" of all the elemental signs. Water 🚿 comes from our eyes when we cry. Salt water, at that … just like Pisces' oceans. 🌊 Be weary of envying other people and other people's lives. Everyone's journey here on Earth and progress is different ! Stop complaring yourself to others, little Mr. or Ms. SIN OF ENVY. Beware of any problems or health issues around your FEET. This applies to Pisces Suns, Risings and Moons. Pisces is the LAST sign that rules the LAST body part listed from head to toe, which would be the feet. One foot ailments or example could be Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS).
When you are born a Pisces, you should be careful of "sacrificing" yourself too much for others. Your happiness matters most. We're here for a good time, not a long time. LIFE IS SHORT. Make good use of it ! You don't "owe" anyone anything. Give your time, energy and magical aura and essence to people who deserve you. 🫧 Live out your beautiful dreams (make sure they're realistic), have fun, explore, get out more and enjoy LIFE ! ♡ Don’t miss out on ANYTHING ! Pulling from Virgo, the nurse 👩‍⚕️ and medicine man 🌿 you are a healer, not a sacrificial lamb. You can be very giving and selfless, very self-sacrificing overall. Jesus was a Pisces. Learn to put yourself first when you know you are involved in a toxic situation, relationship or environment. You either love HARD or not at all. Neptune rains rock hard, beautiful diamond tears. After every relationship, you are never the same person. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it … Proverbs 4:23 ♡
Tumblr media
You're God of the Sea, Poseidon !! 🔱 🎏 Our Ocean Waters! Just like Ariel’s father from The Little Mermaid !! 🧜‍♀️
Tumblr media
Pisces exist in two different realities as 12 different signs in ONE ! Your mind, body, spirit and SOUL (the sun is the soul) go in & out of two different realms day and night and you may even astral project often without even noticing, due to the dreamy nature of Pisces, which is ruled by Neptune !! Neptune/Pisces/The 12th House rules ILLUSIONS, delusions, drugs, alcohol, addictions (including sex addictions) , dreams, sorrow, sadness, sensitivity, isolation, imprisonment, confinement, mental illnesses, diseases, hospitalization and SACRIFICE. This sign rules the afterlife itself and it is the VERY last sign of the zodiac, making it THEE adult sign of ALL the signs, b/c they share the knowledge, wisdom and characteristics of all the signs together. However, this can bring about mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, due to inability to control switching between many different signs all the time. You may often have an identity crisis, sometimes for the rest of your life. The two fish 🐠 that represent Pisces are like yin and yin and one cannot exist without the other or we'd all fall into a deep despair when world's collide. You are a pool … no… an OCEAN of emotions ! Those oceans floors hide many things that haven’t been discovered yet, like our ocean floors here on Earth, which is why you’re so damn mysterious !! Just what are you hiding … Pisces ?? The world may never know …
Tumblr media
Pisces are nymphs aka mermaids !! 🏝️
Tumblr media
Since Pisces is the King of the Sea as well as DREAMS, you may like to sleep a lot. My Pisces sister in law literally goes ghost and sleeps for 12+ hours without warning, you would think she died and went through the 12th gate/house already lol. The 12th house is ruled by Pisces and shows were all things must come to an end in life. That's why like the 8th house, another water house, it is often feared. You may enjoy a lot of rest or alone time in order to recharge, since Pisces rules isolation. Like 12th house Suns, you should be careful of landing yourself in isolation whether through pushing people away who love and care for you, going to jail/prison, ending up in a hospital, lost at sea (SOS) , rehab, a mental institution or even worse, dying ALONE. Back to Pisces Suns … negatively speaking, you may overindulge in drugs or alcohol, even sex. Pisces rules ADDICTIONS, like I said. You could be a literal ADDICT. Be careful not to fall into this sorrowful path of life. Don't get lost into the ABYSS or sink so low that you DROWN in a sea of dreams! You were still born into REALITY just like everyone else ! Act like it ! Get the picture and WAKE UP, Pisces !! You love to escape reality when things get too boring or too tough. You probably smoke a lot of weed lol. Due to a wild imagination and being all the signs in one, you may get bored quite easily, although you can be easily impressed like a little kid lol. Pisces' can sometimes be SO INNOCENTLY NAIVE. Don't let people take advantage of this ! You are a very powerful water sign. You can also be very submissive or the complete opposite, pulling from Virgo and probably many other signs, since you are all twelve of them. Ugh … makes me dizzy !! 😵‍💫 I need a nap … ☁️ 🌸 🦋 🌼
Tumblr media
NOTE : ^ Alice in Wonderland 🌧️ and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 🏭 are very much Piscean movies !!! 🐠
THAT'S IT ! THAT’S THE END !

elle’s diary - Page 10 - 24/11/33 @ 10:08pm
Hello! We made it to double digits wooo wooo. Had a rough night last night. I tried to fall asleep but my throat was so sore that I cried every time I swallowed (eeek). At around 5am I made some chamomile tea with honey, which helped a lot. I was able to to fall asleep after that, and slept until 5pm.
After waking up I made some breakfast (Aussie porridge) and another chamomile tea (I’m thankful it’s one of my favourite teas) and fed my dog. Then it was time for a shower! I didn’t wash my hair as last time I washed it while sick, drying it was a really uncomfy experience, gave me the chills and everything. I also had to watch how hot the water got, for if it’s too hot, I overheat and pass out (yay). Cold cranberry juice helps with this.
Once finished in the bathroom, I put on some dinner of fried chicken and vegetable dumplings (yummm) and sliced carrots, both with soy sauce. That was delicious. Now I’m having some cherries and biscuits with, you guess it, ✨ chamomile and honey tea ✨ Looking forward to getting some rest tonight.
I also listened to “Achilles” after I got home from the concert last night. I made some notes on a few ways to improve it. I think I’ll add some warm, distorted guitar lines, add some higher synths in the chorus, and extend the outro by 8 bars. I’ll see if I feel up to it tomorrow. Currently, focusing on any moderately cognitive task results in my body going “nope thank you, we are now overheating”, so I didn’t work on it today. That’s all for now, thank you for reading and all the best!
lots of love,
elle xoxo
P.S. Here’s a photo I took of twilight/dawn as my throat was screaming at me. It’s quite pretty, I rarely get to see dawn so I thought it extra special. 💕

For the people that think it will all go wrong……
Tumblr media
Do you think it won’t work out for you? Do you feel like it will all go wrong? Are you preparing yourself for the worst, and you have a MILLION back up plans for your backup plans?
Here’s the thing, yes it is good to have backup plans I’m not denying that (we all should have a lil backup sometimes). But do you ever wonder why we all do this? Uncertainty. We fear the unknown cause nothing is set in stone, and we hate to be unprepared for life. We all have experienced some moderate amount of unprepared before, maybe you weren’t prepared enough for a test, you missed revising the last page of your notes for a pop quiz. And maybe you failed / or didn’t do well on a test and your teachers/parents said they expected better from you. And you hated that. You hated that “things are going wrong” feeling when this happened.
And you would hate for this to happen for the bigger and major events in life. You don’t want a situation where you didn’t get into the university you wanted and you had no backup plan for it. You don’t want to make a big move in your career or life and not have a fall back plan it if doesn’t work out.
What if I told you, since you think nothing is certain, who’s to say it won’t all fall in place?
For once why don’t you think it will work out ?
Who’s to say it won’t. No seriously
All our life we just expect the worst. Why should it be this way? Just because some random ass person had once something go wrong for them that they had this “enlightenment” moment and decided to spread their newfound wisdom of how everyone should have a backup plan? SERIOUSLY BABE!?
you cannot seriously tell me that THIS is stopping you from manifesting everything you have ever wanted.
There’s one thing you need in this desperate moments if you’re in one of those
Faith Trust Perseverance
Trust me it’s all working out for you. Please hold on love, it might seem really hard at this moment but genuinely expect the best. It will all work out according to the plan. And you wouldn’t need all those backup plans after all.
trust babes, trust
xoxo

Will you be participating in any of the IY Fandom events this year? (Inu-Spiration, InuSecretSanta, Inuvember, Sugar and Spice Event, etc.)
Hi Anon!!
Thanks for asking!! The answer isn’t a simple yes or no… so I’ve summarized and provided a more in-depth explanation. 
I can’t make any promises right now about whether or what I will participate in. 😅😅���� In the past, I’ve enjoyed fandom events and I’d like to participate in future events. I haven’t been as active this year for a variety of reasons. My engagement fluctuates based on:
My availability 
My energy 
My interest 
Miscellaneous
Full explanation (that no one asked for lol) and goals below the cut. 🥰🥰🥰
The TLDR of it all is: if the event interests me and I have the capacity, I try to engage, but I won’t do so if it costs me any peace or results in the neglect of a work I’m excited about. If I haven’t participated in an event, it’s because I’ve lacked capacity or interest in the specific event/prompts. 
xoxo Fandom Obsessions 
My availability:
This is a hobby for me predicated on the amount of free time I have (availability) and it’s not fair to moderators for me to commit to events when I know I don’t have the time. This has mostly been the issue of late. I’m at the age where all my friends are getting married, having babies, etc. lol While this is really exciting it’s also a big time commitment 🤣🤣🤣 I’m also at the age where my employer thinks I should be available 24/7 🫠🫠🫠 so this year has tested my ability to make and set boundaries, which I’m still learning. Lastly, I’ve had some unexpected tragedies and losses this year that I’m still coping with. Assuming no more unexpected tragedies and/or other unanticipated events, 2023 is looking like I will have a lot more time (famous last words, I know).
I feel it important to point out though that the only time(s) in the past I was regularly active in fandom events was during COVID lockdown. Lol I mention that because that significantly impacted my availability. Where I live, currently, there are no lockdowns any longer and most places are operating as “business as usual.” This means, I’m expected to show up to places in-person (transit time), I’m expected to be presentable (a.k.a. sweatpants and a hair bun won’t cut it so more time spent on getting ready), I’m expected at social and networking events (less free time in general), and areas of my job are busier (more working late). I went from having seemingly endless time to “holy shit, everyone and their mother are getting married and having baby showers and OMG do I even have time to sleep?” Fandom is a hobby lol she will be scaled back when other things come up. 
My energy:
I have a lot of things pulling on my time and attention personally and professionally (energy) leaving me drained most days, especially this past year. (Please see above). As a neurodivergent individual with ADD, my energy is my most precious resource and my most fleeting. My energy is my motivation, it’s my concentration, it’s my creativity and empathy. It’s everything I need to engage, both online and in-person. Because this is a hobby, my energy is often diverted to other things that I prioritize above my OTP, which is a travesty but alas… this is the world we live in. 
Fandom can feed me and replenish my energy but it can also drain me. Events usually drain me. Why? Because it’s uncommon for a work I create for an event to be so near and dear to me that it holds me captive the same way a non-event inspired work would. The only exception to this rule has been Cinnamon Hearts. She put me in a choke hold I was not prepared for. 🤣🤣🤣 Otherwise, while I enjoy the works I’ve created for fandom events, they generally aren’t the WIPs on my mind or that I’m the most excited to work on. So at the end of the day, I come home and I work on original fan works (i.e. non-event inspired) because that’s what feeds me. 
The ADD part is also a huge influence here (more on that below). I’ve been told (part of me still thinks this is a myth) that neurotypicals can force themselves to sit down and do things, even when they don’t want to or have limited energy just because they know it should/has to get done. Whether this is a myth or not, this is not an ability I possess. When I am drained… I am drained and can’t work on things that don’t feed me. People seem to think it’s a matter of will power but it’s not. Lol It’s the executive dysfunction. 
My interest:
Lastly, while I love certain events - you mentioned Sugar and Spice, for example. That is one of my favorite events; I’m a lover of fluff and sexual tension. 🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t participate in Feb.-Mar. 2022 because of personal reasons unrelated to fandom - others are complicated, demanding, or (imo) poorly coordinated. Given that I have limited availability and energy (see above), I’ve been avoiding events with sign-ups and interim deadlines, especially those where someone else depends on/is relying on my work product. You mentioned Inu-Spiration and InuSecretSanta, for example. Inu-Spiration and InuSecretSanta run into similar issues for me where both have others depending on my out-put. My out-put has been inconsistent in 2022 making those events unattainable/impractical for me. I had a lot of fun with Inu-Spiration the first time I participated, but I haven’t been able to commit to an event like that again, especially when the most recent one set their deadlines during the holiday season, which is going to be really busy for me this year. InuSecretSanta runs into the same problem right now too. Lol
My interest in the specific event also relates to my energy and my ADD-ness. On my profiles I write things like “I’m an ADD/ADHD creator” not because it’s a brag, excuse, or advertisement, but because anyone who interacts with an ADD person regularly will understand immediately that because of how my brain works, it’s near impossible for me to work on something that does not inspire/interest me. Muse for someone like me is a finicky bitch and I ride that wave when I can but she is unpredictable. 🤣🤣🤣 And frankly, given that this is a hobby lol I refuse to work on things that don’t interest me. You mentioned Inuvember**, for example. I loved prompts for prior years/events for Inuvember but this year it looks like a bingo event mostly made of questionable prompts for rare-pairs and that doesn’t inspire or interest me personally. I hope everyone who does participate has a great time with it and/or other events but when it’s not my cup of tea I prefer to use my time on things I know I enjoy, like my individual projects and fics (I have so fucking many of them they keep me busy anyway hahaha). 🥰🥰🥰
I also avoid events that I’ve participated in in the past but haven’t liked. There are some events where I didn’t feel encouraged or valued but used and ignored. I will not name said events but I will not be participating in future iterations of them, regardless of my ability. 
Misc.:
Also, and there’s no way for you to know this lol but that’s why I’m sharing. Just because it doesn’t look like I participated doesn’t mean I didn’t try. A great example of this was Inuyasha Pride Month. I was so excited for this that I wanted to help moderate the event and I have several WIPs - fan art and fan fic related - that I was foaming at the mouth to share but life happened and I just wasn’t able to finish any of them. I have all the files saved and I’m looking forward to sharing them in 2023 but that’s kind of been the tune of 2022 for me. I’ve started a number of WIPs and things for open events but for various reasons I just haven’t been able to finish in or around the relevant time frame. I’m verbose (writing) and learning (art), which means that any project I engage in takes a lot of time. I’m becoming more efficient and improving, which is awesome because I love learning, but lol I run out of time a lot. 🤣🤣🤣 Hence why deadlines and I don’t really mix. 
IN SUM:
At the end of the day, the reasons I haven’t been very active and what will limit my activity for future things are event-specific. Lol I also don’t feel a need to participate in events to engage with fandom. Events are fun when they are fun but I have stories and things I’m working on that I am really excited over. My enjoyment is my only barometer in fandom and events are competing with my attention and time with dozens of other works. I hope to participate in future events, but I won’t do so if it costs me any peace or results in the neglect of a work I’m excited about. 
I hope this addresses your question 🤣🤣🤣 ** I have unique concerns about this year’s Inuvember bingo collaboration and will not be participating in this nor any similarly situated event. My reservations are related to the nature of the prompts and organization of the event. I have personal philosophies about fandom that conflict with it but that's a whole other essay. Lol I have enjoyed past iterations of Inuvember and look forward to what next year brings.

wow my sneakers are so dirty, but that also means that i have been working hard in them. these pictures are me at the gym, b&w to stay anonymous. honestly i’m so proud of myself and how far i have come. i’ve been going to the gym for the past seven months. my cw is 142 and i started off at 130. overcoming my fear of gaining weight and body dysmorphia has been troublesome, but i’m finally getting to a point where i don’t mind the weight gain. i’ve noticed that my legs have gotten toner and that my stomach has flatten a wee bit due to running. before i would just walk at a high incline and moderate speed to burn fat, however now, i would definitely recommend running over everything. even if it’s not for a long time. the rush and drips of sweat are surprisingly sweet. and what makes it so rewarding is that you see faster results.
Tumblr media

Another friend is graduating and I’m still thinking how I should have died in 2018 like there is simply no reason for me to have continued past that point I was happy, moderately cute and completely oblivious to how things would go. How can a person know everything at 18 and nothing at 22 or something xoxo

oversharing about my mental health bc i treat tumblr as my personal diary xoxo
i’m pretty sure ive been in a hypomanic episode for a Minute now, and i wasnt sure before bc i don’t think ive ever had hypomania before only mania? i think my new medications are working for once in my whole life bc for the past like. six months maybe? ive been So Normal and in the past few weeks i’ve definitely been on the up and up but it hasnt crossed into full mania, it’s literally just like. me but with energy and a little stupider than usual. and i understand how this can be disabling for some people, but considering that mania (for me) usually looks like weeks of deep psychosis, this shit is EXCELLENT. like yes im more reckless and hypersexual and wanting to spend all kinds of money and all that, but i also feel like im able t “moderate” that a little better because i had so many years of seemingly medication-proof manic episodes? i had to like, adapt lol. so i have some systems set in place to keep me from being too stupid especially with money. but like, i have all the energy of a manic episode and all the drive to Do Things with none of the “hearing the voice of god” or “im someone else and i stole this body and now am stuck in it”. like this shit rocks, i’ve gotten so much done! and i understand that there will be a comedown and it will suck or whatever but while im here?? like again i understand why this isnt a Good state of mind and i dont mean to invalidate anyone’s experience, but i think im just like. well if my mood disorder is going to disorder my moods regardless of what pills i take, i would much prefer it to sort of lessen the extent !! hypomania! and the only time i was on meds that worked 100% and got rid of any episodes entirely i got bored (lol) and got off of them (guy w the “stop taking my meds disorder”: hey what if i stopped taking my meds) so i think this is a good middle ground bc it’s like, life is still fun and exciting and doesnt feel static, but i also dont think im in danger of getting myself locked up lol or like, humiliating myself online or something (tumblr doesnt count bc it’s Faceless)
also probably the best time ever for this to happen bc im getting rejection letter after rejection letter from phd programs i applied to and im literally like “well it will all work out, like everything works out in the end one way or another” :) and i believe that! not necessarily that everything happens for a reason, but everything works out in the end one way or another

A letter to people I cherish:
I hope your day is doing great. If not, please know that things are transitory and it'll be alright.
I hope you never get tired of life. The future is uncertain and all we have is now. Live in this moment. You are alive in this world for a reason.
I hope the sparkle in your eyes never fades away. There is always wonder and beauty in the world. And one of them is you.
I hope you reach your goals and aspirations. Living can be exhausting sometimes, don't forget to take care of yourself. Everything in moderation.
I hope I can be a source of love and light to you. I'm an awkward mess and I'm still figuring things out as I go but know that I mean well and I'm rooting for you all the time.
Xoxo,
ʚ angel ɞ

Blog 5- Coterie Show & Magic Trade Show
Last Thursday, my NYC Study Tour class went to the Coterie and Magic Trade Show in Hudson Yards, which was held at the Jacob K. Javitz Convention Center. I was unfortunately unable to make it to my classes that day because I wasn’t feeling well, but I actually did go to the show on Monday, the 20th, with my Product Development class, so I did get to experience the shows.
The Coterie show featured women’s contemporary and advanced contemporary market events, featuring apparel, accessories, and footwear at premium to advanced contemporary price points. The Magic show featured A women’s East Coast market event featuring trend, young contemporary, modern sportswear, footwear, and accessories categories, spanning accessible to moderate price points. These shows provide the perfect networking atmosphere where professionals, influencers, and buyers can connect, exchange know-how, and establish strong business relationships.
Me and my class first went to visit one of my classmates, who got to be apart of the coterie show with the beauty company she’s interning with. The booth looked gorgeous, and I saw all of the clean skincare products they were marketing. Then we each went our separate ways, and I walked with two of my classmates around both shows and looked at everything they offered. We walked past this section where you could demo some sort of virtual reality game or video that was put on by eBay. We also walked past a lot of food and beverage stations, and all the food looked really good. We walked past a booth where you could sit down and pay to get your nails painted, and we were tempted to sit down, but we kept walking. I unfortunately only took two pictures because I thought I would be going again in two days, but I took one of a vintage red car filled with real flowers! They all smelled so beautiful, and it made me long for summer even more!

Thanks for reading!

This is probably the most random set of headcanons I've done so far. I don't know exactly how this came to me, but it did and I just kinda rolled with it. To be honest, I'm not sure if anyone will like this or not. But if you do, then hey thanks!!
Tumblr media
J never criticized your style or choice of clothing. The man found you gorgeous in everything or nothing at all. It wasn't the clothes which made you attractive. No. The fact that you're so unapologetically you, now that he found attractive. You were fearless in expressing yourself in and out of your clothing.
Sure J didn't care much, but he did pay attention. His attentiveness had him noticing when one of your articles was new. Every so often would he even give his attempt at a compliment on them.
"I like that shirt. It's new, right?" // "Those jeans are lookin' real good on ya, doll." // "Oh is that a new little bra ya got there, bunny? Hm, I want nothing more than to tear that off of you right now. But I won't since ya just got it.. although, ya could get another.."
To others, these might have come off as creepy. But you found them pretty endearing.
With a unique taste for various styles, you appreciated going to thrift shops. Those places usually have the cutest clothes which you could mend to your liking. Cheap articles to style and wear as your own. Department stores with moderately priced clothing were a go-to, too.
Without bragging, you had a great talent for wearing cheap clothes and making them look expensive. You knew how to style and accessorize. Put together a $15 pair of jeans, $4 top, a $40 pair of shoes and you've got an amazing outfit to work with.
You avoided high end departments. Even though you had the money to indulge and shop in them, you simply chose not to. You didn't see the appeal for overpriced clothing.
Hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of dollars for something that you'd just wear. Simple attire that was priced as such because they're popular and high end. No way you're going to cough up $150 for a simple brand top with a tiny logo. That should be a crime all in its own for robbery! Plus, often times the department clerks and other shoppers in those shops were snobby, rude, and rather nosey.
Though there was one luxury brand item that struck your fancy- Louboutin red bottoms. The high-end stiletto footwear that incorporates shiny, red-lacquered soles. Now those are a sexy pair of heels. Very elegant and stylish. Also in the hundred/thousand dollar range, but ohh are they so worth it. Although you thought it would be nice to own a pair or two, you wouldn't buy them.
You casually brought it up to J one time as you skimmed through a magazine. On one of the pages, there was an advertisement for the stilettos. You'd shown him the picture. "Now, I'm not one for material things. But these, I'd definitely wear these."
J listened in curiosity, he knew you so well. You didn't buy expensive things for yourself, and you never asked him for them. However, he seen it in your eyes how much you wanted them. If you saved up, you could buy them for yourself. Plus J had a large amount of stolen money to give to you- which you never asked him for any of, either. He could steal them for you. But then again, you never asked. So he engaged. "If ya like 'em so much, why don't you have any?"
"Hell no!" You retort. "Could you imagine if I were to walk around Gotham in those expensive heels? I'd be a walking target!" You remind him that your goal is NOT to draw unwanted attention while you go about your daytime life.
I mean, you both know that you can take care of yourself. You had knowledge of basic self-defense combat and how to handle a various array of weapons. Special thanks to J for helping you spruce up on your tactics and even teaching you new techniques. Also, you always carry a concealed handgun when going out. So to the best of your abilities, you can hold your own. It's just better not to opt for any more problems.
J doesn't say anything after that, he simply hummed. But the thought had started bouncing around in his already busy mind. A new task. He figured since he wore custom high-cost clothing, the best of the best, then why shouldn't you own a nice pair of shoes? After all you're his, and he wanted to give it to you.
A few days later, you came home to a sight that genuinely surprised you- Set up nicely around your living space, there were 8 large Louboutin gift bags arranged on the floor. No question, you already knew they were from J.
You chuckled and shook your head in disbelief. You hadn't thought that J had actually taken that brief comment you made about liking these shoes into consideration.
Each bag contained a brand new pair of the signature stilettos in various colors and styles. Two of them being boots for when the weather's colder.
You were surprised that he'd gotten them in the correct size. He really does pay attention. Or perhaps he rummaged through your closet to find out for himself. Whatever the case was, you didn't care. Since J rarely ever got you any gifts, and never anything as pricey as these. So you savored the precious moment.
He left the receipt in the gift bag containing the classic black pair of stilettos. He'd actually bought them rather than just steal them, which would've been a more ideal and convenient thing for him to do. Come on, he's The Joker. When's the last time he ever paid for something?
He'd even left a note for you to find in one of the boxes. Written in his own scraggly handwriting- No one's gonna mess with you, I will make sure of that xoxo -J
Tears formed beneath your eyes, how much you wanted to thank him. Hug him, squeeze him tight. Kiss his painted lips and face repeatedly while his face scrunched in mock annoyance to your affections. It deeply frustrated you that you couldn't right then. But alas, he had a city to terrorize and a caped crusader to antagonize. So you had to hold on to that energy for a later time.
You don't know what you've done to deserve such a bitterly sweet(but will never fucking own up to it) man as your J.
Pairing the red bottoms along with the articles in your wardrobe was a tricky task. But with your natural talents and a bit of shopping, you've managed to put together some classy and elegant outfits.
You'd even purchased a tasteful, sparkly anklet with a letter J on it. Which undeniably, J surely liked to see on you- THEN coupled with a pair of heels he'd gotten you? Now that's a sight he's very pleased to see.
It was something which J was quite fond of- you expressing your appreciation for his gifts. Just don't expect him to admit that.
It's also no surprise that you'd wear the stilettos with lingerie(or nothing at all) and it leads to some pretty steamy sex sessions.
J especially savors the pleasant sting as they dig into his lower back when he's on top of you. So don't be shy to dig those heels in there!
When you just so happen to wear out your red bottoms, J might consider getting you a new pair or two. Again, as receiving gifts from him are rare occurrences. But at the times which he does surprise you with a gift, no matter what it is, it never fails to take your breath away.
