I Was In The Middle Of Grinding For Stellar Jades So I Can (finally) Get Argenti In The Limited Character

changed kemeroot’s island flag from usagyun pixel art to kaveh’s friendship namecard earlier, and i realized i wanted to make more of these when time permits me (i’m already thinking about making one of thoma’s and wriothesley’s because next best husbands also deserve slots in my custom designs!). anyway, i’m happy with the way it turned out.

maybe i’ll change my island tune, too, when i’m feeling a little hardworking with the changes in kemeroot. something sumeru music related or klee’s character demo song, whatever i’m in the mood for.

i also have no idea what's going on there, but yes my top three genshin husbands.

it's also been a struggle overcoming my art block so drawing tiny doodles help me get back into making art gradually (•ؔʶ̷ ˡ̲̮ ؔʶ̷)✧

i loved linkin park in high school, and i love them even more with their new vocalist (ㅇㅅㅇ❀) i am and might probably always be a sucker for rock bands with female vocalists especially because it’s a high school dream to be part of one but my singing voice is not of the rock kind.

another wip on top of many other wips. hoping i can finish this in time for the ✨best husband✨'s birthday because yes

one of the things i spent so much time, and really enjoyed working on during this entire penacony arc is the sticker book that comes with the dreamscape pass. i love collecting stickers, journalling, and making collages so of course i spent a good amount of time doing my best to collect the stickers for each page when time permits me, and whenever i don’t feel like finishing the backlogs (the number is a ridiculous amount as a somewhat casual hsr player) just so i can curate each page dutifully.

anyway, some of the pages aren’t complete with all the stickers yet, so have some that i’ve completed and truly like a lot!

i’ve only started the most recent trailblaze mission a few mights ago, but ended up falling asleep in the middle of the mission (T^T ) that said, my goal is to finish it before the week ends so i can once again check on my soc med accounts and not spoil myself about how things will unfold.

such a timely prompt because it’s been two weeks since i “moved in” our family home after living far from family due to work logistics. while i’m always grateful to have a place i can call home, i’m not always fond of going back home after a long day (or week) because there’ll be times when i’ll be welcomed with nagging instead 😅

that said, i’m grateful to be back home because this time, i’ll be able to save some money from whatever earnings i’ll get instead of it going straight to bills and rent. i don’t think i live luxuriously (it’s rare to live luxuriously here anyway), but with how low teachers’ salaries are in my country (and i guess other countries, too?), i wasn’t really able to save much even though i hardly squandered my funds to make sure i have enough for my emergency funds (T^T ) so it’s a relief to be able to go back home at a time like this.

(a little side note related to moving back, i’m also thankful that in our culture, it’s not really frowned upon for adults to leave their parents’ house since it’s mostly a personal choice to do so, and realistically, it’s hard to live independently in a developing country because the fees continues to rise while salaries hardly improved for so long, my salary can’t even sustain two people! usually the only time adults leave their parents’ homes is when they get married or they can really fund their own lifestyles.)

i’m also grateful to be near the people i often seek wisdom from now that i’m back. sure, texting goes a long way, but with the workload i had as a part-timer in my previous workplace, i’d rather just spend the rest of the evening resting to recharge for another long day. it’s so much easier talking to my mom and aunt now.

lastly, i’m also grateful that i have a space where i’m most comfortable too! it’s nice to sleep on my own bed and organize my room and things knowing it’ll stay where it is for as long as we stay here 🥹

Prompt (if you want): What makes you feel grateful for your home?

now that i’m back in my childhood home, i’d like to say that after living in an apartment for rent, i’ve grown to appreciate my room since my teenage years because as much as i love reconnecting and seeing my friends from time to time, it provides the one quiet space i need when i badly need to recharge (as an introvert, and as a type 5 used to navigating life by myself mostly). i hope to keep this for as long as i can until i move out again (if there’s a need to move out again) because having that ✨one safe haven✨ is an underrated privilege that not a lot of people have.

(i do wish that for those who don’t have a place in their house where they feel the safest, you’ll be able to look for a space that you can truly treasure and make a safe haven out of.)

Prompt (if you want): Name something in your home that you truly treasure. Why?

once again i changed the tumblr names of my main tumblr and my sideblog, and i have come to accept that i may have username commitment issues.

i haven’t been religiously keeping up with some of the usual shows i diligently kept up during the qorldwide quarantine, but with how efficient my new workplace is with time management for everyone in the faculty, i’ve been able to get back to keeping up with shows that i enjoy watching! here are just a few of them:

tiny house nation (netflix) - while i don’t think i’d be able to live in a tiny house because i love the space, it inspires me to rethink about my spending habits when it comes to clothes, accessories, and even what i would consider as essential that aren’t really essential to my lifestyle if i think hard about it. i can only imagine the dread of plowing through an obscene amount of stuff (which we have a lot now at home sadly) when it’s time to dispose of them. i guess i’m grateful that it helps curb my spending habits while tickling my design-loving brain. (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु

barbecue showdown (netflix) - it’s that one series i like going back to because most of the contestants are likable and each batch of contenders get better every season, and because i like watching people prepae and cook food, which inspires me to try cooking when i have the time and resources. i like learning techniques and cooking terms whenever the hosts or even the contestants get technical. i’m grateful that in spite of it being a netflix series, the people and events are not sensationalized as most reality TV shows are directed. the people in the competition don’t feel like characters, but actual people, and i love barbecue showdown for that!

cara nicole’s youtube channel - it’s not really a tv show, but out of all the videos i watch regularly recently, hers is one of my favourites, and actually something that i enjoy and look forward to watching and listening to because of the concise but meaty video essays she uploads about mindful consumption and sustainability. i’m truly grateful that there’s someone like her who could make me understand topics that i’ve always found confusing even if it has been explained to me several times already.
