It’s a great time to reflect on whether you are living in a wee little box (any box smaller than the whole entire universe is too small for you), or as your true fucking feral self.
Let go of any reservedness, pretence, arrogance, fear, and inhibition. Be wild and free. You have more power than you understand, but you must liberate yourself to remember it.
Just know this: if it is not guided from within, by love, it is not free. If it is rebellious, if it fights against what is, it is not free. If it is dictated by your ego, it is not free.
Simply live in the highest truth you can find and let it be loud.
[image of a Samsung Chromebook]SO after much trial and error, I was able to get this little beauty with the help of friends for my birthday (it was 03/16) and I love her. This is last years model and she was under 150$. At 11″ and just over 3lbs, this is the perfect machine for me. The full size laptop I bought last year is a fine machine but just not for…
I have been having a bit of an artist’s existential crisis recently. Since we all went into our quarantine-esque state in March, I started working on more realistic looking portraits. I was looking back at the portraits I have created and had the dreaded thought, “oh my….these are riddled with flaws!”. All I could see when looking at these pieces that I was so proud of only a few months ago were flaws and mistakes. I then spent time pondering whether I should be glad I can see the flaws in my earlier pieces and see how much I’ve grown and enjoy my more recent portraits OR should I be embarrassed by what I should have clearly seen as mistakes. This is not the first time I have thought this about my art. I have spent the majority of my almost 27 years of life pursuing art. Sometimes I think I am not at the skill level I would like to be. It’s times like this where I need to remind myself to be proud of my work and my growth and how much I enjoy the process of creating my pieces.
Some backstory for ichiruki korean period drama au (aka sageuk au)
- before ichigo and rukia became sejaandsejabin (korean titles for the crown prince and his wife) once upon a time the crown prince of the country was kaien. There was a nationwide selection of women to be his bride and Rukia was among the final three selected, but ultimately lost to Miyako. Rukia didn’t mind this so much (she does harbour a crush on kaien as in canon but she became friends with miyako over the selection period and wishes them the best), and she continues to frequent the palace as miyako’s friend and confidante.
- Final three sejabin contestants have a proviso that they are forbidden to marry (not historically accurate but a popular period drama trope in Korea so we’ll roll with it), and so Byakuya gets very pissed off that his little sister is essentially a widow now.
- With some egging on from Aizen and Co, byakuya stages a coup. Rukia finds out about it and goes to warn miyako and kaien but is a fraction late, and she and Miyako are caught in the midst of a full-scale military takeover.
- Rukia takes Miyako’s cloak and acts as a decoy- unfortunately, kaien mistakes her for miyako as well and jumps in front of arrows to save her, then dies in rukia’s arms. Miyako is also found dead. The coup succeeds, Aizen &co place isshin on the throne as a placeholder, ichigo becomes crown prince by default and byakuya can finally ensure his sister sits in the position she deserves: Sejabin, the next Queen of the nation.
