Winter Studying Challenge

5th January - Would you rather live in a world where it is always winter or always summer?

A world where climate is normal 🙃

6th January - What is the weather like during winter in your country?

Sometimes it snows, sometimes it rains. Sometimes the sun is shining and you’re convinced that it’s quite warm outside but it is not and the air is sharp. Usually it’s cold, below freezing kind of cold.

January study challenge

why did you choose your major, or if you’re still in the process of choosing (or if you haven’t even started), what’s your thought process in choosing one?

I would like to be able to combine Computer Science and Philosophy.

are you an early bird or a night owl?

A night owl!

Spotlight hour!

Here are all the works that were updated and submitted to us during the January "Update your WIP" challenge!

Disney

Woe to The People of Order But Disney(TM) by @levichouphys I stared into the abyss and the abyss replied with Aladdin's deleted song "Humiliate the Boy." // Jafar and Disney characters swapped with DreamSMP characters AU.

Harry Potter:

Amulette d'amour by @therealvinelle and @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin Tom is commissioned to repair a magical amulet.

The Man Who Would Be King by @therealvinelle and @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin On October 31st, 1981, Lily Potter’s plan to protect her son goes awry when her husband is murdered and her son abducted. In the aftermath, she must navigate the escalation of the war, tensions among the Order, and her desperate search for her son.

The Slytherins' Tale and A Time Once Lost by @theralance In the year before Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott’s exploration of the unused rooms of Malfoy Manor leads them to discover an old diary tucked away and forgotten.

In doing so, Kabuto comes back into conflict with Sunagakure, the nation he worked with to destroy Konoha. This time though, he has to help save a Kazekage.

When had the returns become so abysmal?"

Throwing a summary together \o/

Not to get sappy but honestly, I'm very grateful for the Kirby franchise and the community, I was really struggling with art block for a long while before joining 🙏💕

Even though I've had my ups and downs when I drew like nuts and then go radio-silent, I still think 2023 was a really productive year for me ;v; 💖 Here's to more in 2024~

Template is here!

#I get sappy every year man #i did the 'i wanna draw' bingo for 2024 but I'll probably keep it private #but I am aiming for a few more challenges #if nothing else just to try and even if it doesn't work out #i can at least say i gave it an honest go 👏#art summary #2023 art summary #mine #my art #cw scopophobia #cw eye strain #cause of the october drawing #i didnt have too much for january or july HJKSDG #but im happy with a lot of them qvq

1/100

I woke up at 6:30 this morning had a coffee and started revising for my Arabic exam, I then went to my uni and had another coffee and revised for my exam in the library. my exam was great, I'm hoping for an A+ إن شاء الله

I had buldak carbo and hot dogs for lunch and I took a nap. I need to start studying for my sociology exam and also get started on my chem exam

yours truly,

hello, goodbye ~ jimmy rose

Jimmy writes a letter to his daughter, in the off-chance he doesn't come home. (crimes of passion)

wc: 949; teen and up

written for @choicesjanuary2024 day 10: Write a letter from one character to another.

a/n: just a really quick drabble to get me out of a slump - both in writing and well, everything lol

Nora,

Everything sucks, huh?

That is a terrible way to probably start this letter, but oh well. Herman, you know, the friend of mine who bought you that Tiana mug, tells me I’ve got to write a letter to my family and friends just in case I don’t come home. It is no military, sure, but being put in active danger everyday makes you want to write a little something just in case the worst thing happens.

It’s not going to happen. I doubt you’d read this.

If you do, here’s some life advice for when you turn twenty. I don’t know how old you would be if you read this, but I hope it is an age less than 20, because then there’s no point to this. You’d have learned everything already. Still, life advice is why I’m here. Besides driving you to soccer practice and waiting for you to score a goal.

I do hope you get better at soccer though. Exactly why I keep telling you - do your jumping jacks.

Back to life advice. I’ll keep this thing short because granted if you’re anything like me or Mom, you’d have given up reading this. Mom never liked stalling for time and long emails were no picnic for me either.

Anyway, life advice’s particularly useful if your life is sucky right now. So I hope it is. Not like that, but in a way you could really use some advice.

One: You’re going to need to hydrate. Fill up a flask with water. Good. Stick with it. Water’s your best friend if you ever plan on not fainting. Also, way less damaging for your gut. Whatever happens - even if you are in the middle of something horrible, look for water. Drink responsibly, you know the rest. Not water, though. Don’t skimp on that.

Two: I did not think this through. So when you’re writing a letter - or typing it - think everything through.

Three: You don’t have to get into medicine. Any Ivy League program works.

Kidding. I am, of course, kidding. I would hate to tell you to ‘do what you love’ because if that’s the case, I’m raising a future gambler with all of your trading cards and everything. I just want you to be able to find something you have the drive for.

Not what you love doing, because that stuff changes everyday. I want you to be able to find a consistent drive for something. Not because Maddy or Tracie or anyone else told you to do so. Or randomly picking a job from a website. I don’t want you to completely love what you’re doing, but if you’re going to wholly hate something, you might as well do it more efficiently and not pursue that any longer.

Four: Money management is everything. Get a ledger when you start earning and keep track of your expenses. I don’t want you to get caught up in the whole whirlwind in your 20s and get a house and fill it with voidless decor. New York’s expensive living. Getting four jobs to ensure you come home to mahogany furniture is less than ideal. I want you to be able to sit out of the water, rather than keep your head up just to breathe while everything drowns around you. That’s a really good metaphor. The point is, don’t screw around with money. Get frugal for a bit until you feel secure. That a coffee from a cafe isn’t going to ruin your weekly bills. That splurging on the good kind of produce isn’t going to make you feel guilty, you skip meals to cut costs.

I can’t offer good advice on this. I doubt anyone else can either, so it will be a bit of trial and error at first. You’ve got to figure out what’s important to you. That’s going to take you a while to figure it out.

Five: I don’t know what the future is going to look like. I don’t know if you’d get a Secret Service job for instance, or if you’d get married or date or do any of that. I have no idea if you��re going to even say, move to the middle of a farm and raise chickens, but I do hope you know I’ll try my hardest to be there for you. Doesn’t matter if you need me or not, if you’re going to punch me square in the shoulder and roll your eyes, but I want to be there for whatever incredible or horrible decisions you make.

If I’m not there, well, pretend I am.

I’m watching.

Kidding. Seriously Nora, don’t do drugs. Not worth it. Not even a weed brownie. I’m serious on this one, kid. If I ever find out, the grave won’t stop me. Everything might “suck” now, but all you need in the world are a couple of prayers, three meals a day and a good movie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my favorite. I think your Mother would have liked that too.

Also, keep in touch with family. Whether it be in Hong Kong or right next door in New York, don’t give up on family. My biggest regret is that I didn’t spend time with my cousins or aunts or uncles growing up. I think I would have had a very different life had I just talked to them. I hope you have that too- any kind of support system, really.

If you can’t find one, be one yourself. I know you’re strong enough for that, if you just got your head out of trading cards.

Just be kind, all right?

Dad.
