thanks for the tag! those trips sound like so much fun. im a bit late but i havent been on tumblr recently so forgive me lol

It was really nice to reflect on the past year!

Taglist (I undrestand if you don't do this cause its pretty late lol) (if you don't know me thats because I just massively reblog your posts but we've probably never talked): @thebonecarver @lostnevarrite @kazoo-the-demjin @the-blackdale @kazzyboy @solispin @kacya @adri-writes-17 (this is my way of saying i love you although i know you'll never do this) @eliza-the-bet (this is also my way of saying i love you although i know you'll never do this) @roaaoife

I'm returning to this post over a year later because I can't stop thinking about it. About #7 on my list, specifically. I just think there's something so sweet and special about the development.

At the time of the post, I was so proud of winning Regionals, and wishing to do well at Provincials. At Provincials, I competed, and won nothing. Oh well. It was my first year, and I was a grade nine, completing against the best in the province, many of which were older than me. I was just so proud of the ability to compete in itself.

It's been more than a year. I competed in the same business competition again this year. I made it past Regionals. I went to Provincials again. I had a mini panic attack during the awards ceremony, before they announced my event (it was one of the last ones). I was freaking out about failing. I felt like I had to make an improvement. No one told me this, not even my parents. It was just the standard I had set for myself. I worked really hard, and I desperately wanted any award, just something. But I had a feeling in my stomach that told me that I would fail. So I freaked out.

Contrary to last year, I won two of the three awards available at Provincials. I won top 20 overall in my event, too. However, I did not qualify for Internationals.

They escorted us all backstage after the top 7 qualifiers had been announced. They went through this list of qualifiers, checking to see if they would accept their invitation to Internationals. And people said no (which shocked me, but it's probably because of IB exams).

So they went down the list, of the other top 20 competitors. They started at number 8, and asked them if they could go to Internationals.

I was 8th.

Now, I'm sitting in the airport. I'm going to board the plane soon, and be on my way to California to compete.

All this to say: I'm so incredibly proud of myself. And yeah, I guess I needed to gloat a bit, but no one's really gonna read this anyways. But I just want to be a reminder to just try to keep improving constantly. In everything you do. Try not to overthink or worry beforehand (me during the awards ceremony). It's a hard habit to stop, but life is so much better when you stop doing it. And even when you think it's too late (like when I wasn't announced as a qualifier), it might not be.

Wish me luck <33

Everything is going to be okay 🏵️

Don’t mind me just crying over Jean Moreau.

I can’t wait to see him continue healing in book 2. 😭

I swallowed a toaster and gained toaster powers which gave me the ability to make toast by putting slices of bread in my mouth.

Note: cheese shelves count too

Found this on Twitter, so I thought, why not posting it here and doing a tag game 😊

Ok, I’ll go first

If he is the reason, I’d go to prison gladly 🥰❤️‍🔥

Hai :3

There is no context, it's just two of my favorites

Tags: @katt-sports @rose-olly @kriticallydamaged

The context is that these two have both been in killing games, two of which they were in together. That's the context, I don't think it helps whatsoever.

Ronan Lynch you will always be legendary

jean moreau came back to himself in pieces

I just... he had a little sister that he loved more than anything. he followed thea around like a lost little duckling. he was in love with his best friend and it almost destroyed him. he uses pain to both punish himself and stave off panic attacks. he survived five years of brutal torture and abuse by the skin of his teeth. his parents sold him. his little sister is dead. he wants to burn the house down. he cannot cook or shop for himself. he hates his old teammates. he loves his old teammates. he quite possibly loves his new teammates even more. he frets for the safety of people he barely knows. he's terrified of water, of being bitten, of being hurt again. he laughed when his worst abuser was dethroned and beaten and then tried to kill himself in solidarity.

he's finding reasons to live, day by day, one step at a time. a cool evening breeze, rainbows, open roads, friends.

he is jean moreau. he knows his place. he will endure.

i know she probably just pretended she didnt so jean would talk to her but im fucking dying at the idea no one ever actually explained the game to her. it could almost be true

Starting a tag game!

am I forgetting anyone my bad but YALL DO THIS ITS SUCH A SLAY

Thank you so much @earlgreycoffee5 for tagging me! I’d always secretly wanted to do a picrew quiz tag like this! *(^_^)*

If you’re wondering why there’s two picrews, it was because, after making one based entirely on Default Me, I realised that everyone else’s in the reblog chain appears inspired by their quiz result. Therefore, I went back and made a fantasy ‘hero’ version of myself, but being the change-averse person I am, I didn’t want to get rid of the one I already grew attached to. Therefore, behold! Human Me vs Tree Me!

There is absolutely no pressure for any of my mutuals to do this, but I wanted to tag you all just in case any of you would like to join (n_n) (Also, if any of you want to be left out of tags in the future, then please tell me and I will happily oblige.)

I wouldn’t go for “naive and irresponsible”, more like “mostly kind, definitely wise space witch who can kick asses, lover of tea and books, and adventurous explorer” kind of quirky side character in this little fantasy of mine.

Love it!
