Student Self-care: But Not Necessarily The Feel-good Kind Edition

here is your sign, if you needed one.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.

A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!

Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.

All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.

Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!

I’m back with more Incredibles fanart! you can tell I’m still obsessing over a thing hard when I start drawing fanart for a prequel book %) seriously though, if you love Incredibles and still haven’t read ‘A Real Stretch’, go read it - it’s a really entertaining story which is set in the golden age of supers, and is told from Elastigirl’s POV. I couldn’t help drawing Bob/Helen, all the interaction between them in this book is priceless <з (also their friendship with Frozone is pure and wholesome and I need a prequel movie about those three set in the Glory Days timeline *v*)

Actually we need more appreciation for the Atsushi and Kunikida dynamic because I feel like so much of it happens off-panel/offscreen

While Dazai was the one to bring Atsushi into the Agency and Fukuzawa the one to let him join, it was Kunikida who just started treating Atsushi like another employee - it was this that had Atsushi abruptly realizing he was actually wanted by the Agency and that they weren't just going to kick him out. Kunikida was the one who had Atsushi coming to that realization and tearing up over it (however unintentional it was on Kunikida's part hjghjbg).

But then there's little bits that show that Kunikida trains Atsushi in combat; he's blunt in his criticisms, but he's not cruel. What's more, Kunikida does not treat Atsushi like he is going to break, nor as someone to be afraid of. He is training him so he can contribute the same amount as any Agency member - which further affirms that Atsushi is wanted and needed with this group.

I bet it was also Kunikida who actually showed him how to do things around the office. Maybe Tanizaki did a bit too, but Kunikida is a more senior member and probably oversaw a lot of Atsushi's work at the beginning at least. Again, this is someone taking the time to teach Atsushi, something he never would've had before. And really, so long as Atsushi is putting in his full effort (which he would of course), Kunikida isn't the type to berate him for a mistake. Maybe he'd be a little irritated if it put him behind but like. Even that base mentorship has got to mean a lot to Atsushi.

It's just. There's got to be more to their dynamic we haven't seen because Atsushi was so so happy to see that the Agency members were safe, but he also explicitly felt relieved enough and comfortable enough to take a flying leap at Kunikida to tackle hug the man and that really says a lot to me.

The best part is that if Atsushi were to ever try to convey just how much Kunikida has done for him, Kunikida would probably be totally baffled and have no clue what he's even talking about because... Kunikida was literally just being himself. But being himself is what's really important to Atsushi, and to a lot of people in the Agency, I think.

Study routine : night owls version

Since a lovely anon asked for the nighttime version of this routine, here it is!

Now we all have different bedtimes and I have no idea what is actually an ideal time to go to bed, so this routine is based on my usual timings, obviously if they don’t match up with yours feel free to modify!

Our goal is to get in quality time, just made sure you get something done!

Rules :

Follow the routine given below for 30 days (no issues if you miss, I’m gonna miss somedays too)

Post a pic of your work space (no aesthetic required, just a little feel good thing for you so that you actually want to get more ish done)

Have fun and be productive :)

The routine :

Final study session : 11:05pm to 11:30pm

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
