#or left after uni

I’m so tired.
#how do people make friends as adults#like I’ve been at uni 3 years#I’ve joined clubs#gone to events with people#cooked dinners and had takeaways sat in the living room#and yet somehow always seem to be an after thought#I’m literally a week away from handing in my dissertation with lots of work today#and the housing situation here sucks#and two people who I’ve been talking to about housing#who know how badly it all sucks#have put in for a flat of their own without saying anything#and I get it#it’s not really a shock cause like they’re a couple that can get a 1 bed and split the cost#they’ve been together 18 months#but I’m not even worth the talk apparently.#is it me is there something fundamentally wrong with my ability to make friends#or am I just really crap at picking people out#and like. they’re not awful people don’t get me wrong#but I also reckon if I went home from here for an extended period of time.#or left after uni#I’d never see any of them again#and apparently I feel badly enough about it all that I need to shout into the void here.#something that I do not do at all#but I have no idea what I’m doing now and finding somewhere new to live that is walkable to the uni is really difficult cause#for a uni town they sure don’t like students in any of their properties#I have so much work to do I should not be worrying about any of this right now#but I’d like to just play the switch instead and forget about this project or other people for a while#and I can’t cause this is due in on Wednesday and there’s still lots to do#and I can’t even complain about it to anyone cause they all talk to each other#a little circle of gossip that just goes round and round

Little snippet from a vashwood reincarnation comic that I do not have nearly fully fleshed out in my head with written down text that would surely be 50+ pages and which I will probably get to draw never aaaah

#okay random story time i don't know why im narrating this or how i even stumbled upon this memory rn#but i generally do sad vents in the tags and for a change this is a funny one#so back in highschool (i say highschool but i mean junior college) i used to visit this park near my house a lot#i was an sg kid back then and the thing about parks there is that they're kinda beach-parks and they have the best cycling/running tracks#they're also really massive parks so i used to go often. sometimes bicycling. other times walking. yeah. the park was like my sanctuary#anyway. there are quite a few bike rental areas in the park and there was a cute lil shop next to this one particular rental place#and they sold like biscuits and water and icecreams and stuff and i went there a lot#and on one particular day i went there and there was this guy around my age part timing at that shop#now again this might be culture specific bc i dont see it in india but part timing in uni/pre-uni is pretty common is sg#a lot of shops and restaurants employ teenagers to twenty something ppl for part time jobs... anyway im just adding context#point is that i had walked to the park with my mum that day and she told me to go buy a couple icecreams so i went to the shop#and i saw this guy around my age and like. not to be a simp but this dude was so pretty?#like he saw someone had come to the counter so he looked up and shot a smile and i thought i got slapped by sunlight#i could spend the next several lines going on about his pretty tan skin and his glowing raven eyes but this is pathetic enough so ill stop#anyway he saw me and smiled really wide (customer service smile- i thought to myself) and i smiled back and asked for icecreams or whatever#and then this guy started getting chatty right. so he was all 'you come here (to the park) often right? ive seen you with your bike a lot'#see now. the problem with me is that i always think im bothering people. this poor dude was attempting to make conversation#and i was replying with one word answers#and i wasn't even realizing that he didnt want that. bc he kept asking more questions and i. kept. shutting them down.#then when he gave me the icecream he was all 'are you here alone? icecream alone is no fun... i could keep you company if you want..?'#which. he was being really cute about right. but because im so fucking dense i was all 'oh no i came with my mom actually'#and he went 'aw man' in this really cute but faux sad way which i didnt understand at the time and i left and then#after three full fucking days. i realized this man was tryna hit on me?#and then i went to the park like a week later and he was gone. poof. i even thought of asking the uncle in charge of that place#then i got too embarrassed and chickened out#yeah so turns out my neurodivergence neutralizes any sort of rizz that comes my way#i could've been chilling with a cute boyf rn but no😩 this is my destiny#megumi in the tags

To everyone commenting about the red in my art, your tags always make my day <3
This is how I make my art So Red: I use brush pens from the Lyra and Tombow brands, they blend really well, and the red hues are perfectly bright for my taste.

I scan everything with CamScannner, under direct light, to increase contrast and blend the colours even more. The not yet scanned drawings look like this, I used a new pen for the first three drawings, and an old one for the last three, the difference is pretty evident:

I don't always make a pencil sketch before the line art, I prefer to sketch outfits directly in colour, adding the black lines later and filling the rest with brush pens, that's why I often end up with colour blocks.

Man, knowing that I'm less than two weeks from my last final is really shaking me because I have so many things I said I'd do after I graduate and they're very close now!!!
One of them is going to be leaving all the discord servers I don't talk in and also pruning following / friends lists like hell and back. This will allow me to finally come off invisible on discord, and it'll be nice to have discord statuses available to me again ;~;

I used to think that having a college roommate meant you were contractually obligated to be best friends but now I realize that it’s actually a psychological experiment to see how close to murder you can get

hear me out: mjty college au where Yuanzhi and SGQ as queer besties. they bicker all the time but at the same time theres this underlying understanding between the both of them. Everyone thinks they're dating but just refuse to admit it, when GYZ actually has a crush larger than the moon on GSJ, and SGQ is pining for YWS
Have a good day!!
A/N: ROSIE I AM SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG ;A;
I hope you like the take I did with it hehe
--
"Take a picture, it lasts longer."
Yuanzhi shifts in his seat and purses his lips. Refusing to deign Shangguan Qian with an answer, he smiles shortly, pushing up his Versace sunglasses and leans back in his seat with his Starbucks drink.
"That's a bit rich coming from you," Yuanzhi snorts elegantly, taking a sip.
Shangguan Qian's hand pauses as she is transcribing her lecture notes, but she recovers and continues writing. "Didi--"
"Don't call me that--"
"Didi," She says, voice sickly sweet. "Did you hear what they're saying about us again?"
Yuanzhi sighs. "Which one is it this time?"
"The one where you are head over heels with me and you are absolutely bereft that I'm graduating in a semester, and that you won't be able to walk me back to my flat after my evening classes."
Yuanzhi physically shudders at the thought. "I would rather die than feel any sort of emotion other than relief that I won't have to share a walk home with you soon."
"The feeling is absolutely mutual," Shangguan Qian purrs, tapping her pen on her notebook. "Every time I have to see your face is the lowest point of my day."
"Likewise." Yuanzhi toasts her with his Starbucks cup and takes a deep sip as he spies the three figures coming out of the library building.
Immediately, it's as if the mid-morning autumn air shifts. He doesn't even have to look to know that everyone has begun to stop and stare. He doesn't blame them, too, the sight of Gong Ziyu walking with his girlfriend Yun Weishan and his cousin Gong Shangjue would make everyone stop for a moment. The three of them look like they've just stepped out of a magazine in their tailored clothes and perfect hair.
Yuanzhi turns away, looking back down on the tabletop, hissing when Shangguan Qian kicks at his ankle.
"He's coming this way!" She whispers.
Panic seizes Yuanzhi and he barely survives choking on his spit when he hears a quiet and low drawl saying, "Hello Yuanzhi, hi Shangguan Qian."
"H-hi Shangjue ge," Yuanzhi wheezes, taking a sip of his pumpkin-spiced latte and immediately wincing when the hot liquid scalds his tongue. A perfumed handkerchief is immediately at his jaw, dabbing at his face.
Shangjue is smiling at him as he wipes away the mess on his face, lingering on his lips. Quite possibly unaware of the minor death Yuanzhi is feeling on the inside.
"Are you doing anything later, Didi?" Shangjue asks. Yuanzhi shivers when the man thumbs at the corner of his mouth.
"Nothing I cannot heartlessly abandon," Yuanzhi answers immediately.
"Good," Shangjue says. "I was wondering if you would like to come with me to a new museum exhibit downtown? They have a section about poisons used in Renaissance Italy, and I remember how you told me you've always been interested in toxicology and I thought you might like--"
"Yes!" Yuanzhi gushes. Scrambling to push his sunglasses up to the crown of his head, he nods vigorously. "I mean, yeah, I'd love to."
Shangjue beams, lifting his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind his ear. "Great. I'll meet you by the fountain at 2pm? Maybe we catch dinner in the city after? My treat."
If there is a god, strike him dead now, Yuanzhi thinks. He can die happy.
"Yeah," Is all he can manage when Shangjue smiles at him like that. His hand lingers where they're cupping his neck, but only for a moment, because Shangjue steps back too soon, then gives him a gentle "Bye" before walking away.
"It's like I'm not even here." Shangguan Qian snorts.
Yuanzhi slumps back into his seat. "What the hell just happened?"
"I think you just got asked out by the most popular student in our university, that's what happened."
He perks up at that. "Oh, shit!" He giggles.
Shangguan Qian rolls her eyes at him but doesn't say anything else. Doesn't have to when her eyes flit to where Shangjue is jogging back to. Ziyu and Weishan are both waiting in the shade of the library building.
Yuanzhi sees how her eyes turn soft and longing at the way Weishan and Ziyu link their hands, looking at each other with clear adoration. Whatever sharp barbs he had poised on his tongue, he packed it away. There's a time and space for everything. This wasn't it for that.
"Come on," He declares. "I can't let Shangjue think I'm not boyfriend material if I show up to our date in rags."
Shangguan Qian lifts an eyebrow. "You're literally dressed in Versace."
"And," Yuanzhi bulldozes on. "You know what they say about dressing for the job you want? Well, I want full-time employment as Gong Shangjue's boyfriend."
"I think that job's all yours by now." Shangguan Qian mutters under her breath, moving to pack her stuff.
Yuanzhi is feeling benevolent. He'll ignore her sass as long as she helps him pick out his outfit for his date today.
