I get so caught up in my head that it eats away at me. I believe the worst is going to happen because it always has. I always have these “what’s ifs” that drive me crazy and make me miserable. I create trouble in my head that isn’t even there and get myself worked up. I just want to shut it off and not overthink everything to death. To just live in the moment.
Chapters from my life (via melindacarolinee)
Wanted to try out some new makers and wanted to draw my favorite character, didn't turn out too bad. Could be better.
I’m deep in clone Shiro theory rn, but I want him to be happy and loved if he is real. Shiro never thinks about his family so maybe he doesn’t have one..a family can be 1 original and 50 clones ok. also @ilovelocust had a cute idea of Keith giving Shiro clone a pep talk and I couldn’t not use it
“one day or day one?” start learning a new language and try to stick with it. better to do less regularly than big study sessions once per week!
buy yourself an art notebook and fill it during the year with doodles and drawings
meet with old friends and acquaintances who might become friends
keep a journal and regularly write about your day
appreciate the little things in life: the snow lying outside, the scent of flowers, the little smiles on people’s faces
make it a habit to start your assignment as soon as you get it; it saves you from so much stress!!
more cozy study dates in cafes
don’t buy too many books while still having to read all the ones you bought last time, otherwise, you’ll be overwhelmed soon enough
reach out to people online and make more friends, a lot of people on here are extremely nice and welcoming!!
look at the sky more often
don’t dwell on the past too much, what’s done is done, try to grow from it
buy more little things that make you happy, such as candles, bath bombs or stationery
go for a walk at least once a week, especially if you live in the city
accept that it’s okay to ask for help, in school and in personal matters!!
*~*~*~STUDY BREAK SNACKS~*~*~* (art by maria-putri ✨)
apple chips - preheat oven to 225 F - slice apples as thin as possible - sprinkle some cinnamon/cinnamon sugar on the apples (optional) - (works best on a baking rack) place on tray and put in over for 1-2 hrs (you might need to cook them for longer depending on the thickness of your chips!)
sweet crispy roasted chickpeas - preheat oven to 375 F - rinse and drain chickpeas - place chickpeas on baking tray and bake for about 45min - 1 hr - in a bowl, mix olive oil, honey, and cinnamon sugar (you can eyeball the measurements and change it to your personal preference) - once the chickpeas are dry, put them into the bowl that holds the sweet sauce and mix it all in. - once you are done coating the chickpeas, place them back in the oven for 10 mins
savory crispy roasted chickpeas - follow the sweet crispy roasted chickpeas but replace the sauce with olive oil, sriracha, and garlic powder
frozen yogurt berries - take a spoon and dump your yogurt yogurt into your mold (you can use an ice tray) - add berries into your mold (i like blueberries, raspberries, and black raspberries) - freeze!
apple sandwiches - core your green apple and red apple (it’s okay if you only have one kind) - cut the apples! semi-thick so the slices are durable - add nutella (or peanut butter!) on one side of the apple slice - sprinkle on some oats on top of the spread - sandwich them together!
avocado toast - toast your choice of bread - in a bowl mush your avocado - once the toast is finishes, spread your mushed avocado on the bread - squeeze a bit of lemon onto the toast + avocado and sprinkle chili and pepper!
ants on celery - take celery sticks and spread peanut butter on the inside - place raisins (or choco chips!) on top of the peanut butter spread
banana bee smoothie - 1 cup of milk (low fat) - 1 cup of non-fat greek yogurt - tbsp of honey (OR MORE) - 1 ripe banana - handful of blueberries - pinch of cinnamon! - BLEND
sweet apple banana smoothie (my fav ✨) - 1 sliced apple (preferably any sweet apple) - 1 ripe banana - a tbsp honey - 1 cup of low fat milk - a pinch of cinnamon sugar - BLEND
messy simple fruit bowl - 1 sliced ripe banana - a handful of blueberries - place fruits into a bowl and drizzle with honey on top o’fruity rice cakes! - spread peanut butter onto ricecake - place sliced fruit on top (you can use bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc) - drizzle with honey (optional)

things we know are going to happen in vld but didn’t happen in season 5 so will most likely happen in s6:
romelle / allura’s dnd character ? where did she go
and also the entire episode where jeremy shada said they would be playing a dnd type of game
whatever scene made steven yeun cry while recording? bc that sure as heck didn’t happen in s5
keith back on team voltron and in red paladin armor but this time with galra markings on his face (this was in a promotional poster)
barlee (voltron storyboard reviser) saying the next season (s6) would be an emotional wreck for everyone, no matter which side you’re on.
“prepare to get broken” were her exact words (:
jeremy shada saying how ‘if a character is suddenly gone from the show or is not seen as much they’re going to come back and have a huge arc’
(aka. be prepared for a huge keith and real shiro arc)
also joaquim said keith would return and that his arc is very interesting
lance actually using his altean broadsword (?)
lance continuing to be skeptical about lotor
(jeremy said lance still doesn’t trust him, you can also tell this at the end of s5)
blake michael joining vld and whatever mysterious role he will play
josh, jeremy, bex, kimberly, and tyler (the paladins’ VAs), as well as AJ (lotor’s VA), steven (keith’s VA), and rhys (coran’s VA) all in the recording booth together
when all voice actors are in a recording booth together, it means they have a significant amount of scenes together, so it can be assumed that keith and lotor both have a decent role with the rest of team voltron in at least certain parts of the next season
jeremy saying the team would have a reunion with their families somehow, hinting that they would be traveling back to earth
jeremy promising that the keith / lance relationship that is currently set in place will evolve into more of a mutual respect with less bickering and will lean more towards friendly jokes instead
lance will stand up to shiro but it’ll be hard for him to do so since he views shiro as such a huge inspiration and role model in his life

An unfinished piece about ORAS game/manga.
[Montauk - Part 3]
wine, cigarettes, and you –
moments.
so what if the echoes of chronos run through my veins pumping nightmare fuel into my heart and so what if i’m made of things that are dark
in nature?
we can pretend the universe is not buried in the shadows where God can’t see no matter how bright that sun shines and how fresh this air is that we breathe
our galaxy is moving 515,000 miles per hour around a giant black hole with shark teeth and we stand here as pixels of consciousness –
grounded on our feet
praying to the dark sun and watching the black helicopters burn. what if we are a string of unstable electrons in the nucleus of an experimental dimension bearing the consequences of it’s errors
at the mercy of a creator unwilling to accept defeat
moving between galaxy clusters and different dimensions –
seeking the original path of the divine source before it was hijacked and diverted by [classified]
our history is buried in the shadows and we’ve lost touch with who we truly are and we still find a reason to smile because even if the world collapses into nothing
we’ll still have each other.

storyteller
sometimes I forget that I'm just a teenager writing a webcomic in my spare time, so I shouldn't hold myself to the same standards as, say, a feature film with an entire team of professional writers, or Hiromu Arakawa. Writing flawed stories is okay, and even necessary in order to write better ones :)
(if you want to read aforementioned amateur webcomic...)
