Happy Tuesday, sunflowerkru!

It's actually, sort of a selfie tonight. Spencer is sitting in my lap after all 😉

Big days for me. I have two weeks of holiday, my application for work appointment (so to speak) is proceeding and I signed a lease for a new office space today. I feel like such a grown up, it's strange and scary.

I hope you guys have a good night!

Happy Tuesday Wednesday!

Uh oh, I should be sleeping right now, but I do I listen to sense? No...

I have a question for you writers, if you write original stories or have an interest in it (or if you play rpg's for that matter): do you create character sheets? Writing down descriptions, attributes, dreams and goals and such? And if you do, do you have any good resources to recommend on the subject? Websites, apps etc.

I've had this half-baked story idea in my mind for many years and I would like to do something with it, but I don't quite know where to start. I thought about starting with the characters that currently lack many details, but I guess I just need some inspiration to go further. I tried Pinterest for some image inspiration but I didn't have much luck with my word searches 😑 do you guys have any advice on how to go about organizing a story?

Thanks for the tag @carrieeve. I was almost convinced that Spencer had taken that selfie herself! 😂 Oh, exciting new happenings at work (I hope?)! What does application for work appointment mean? Working as a consultant?

Lol I have no nice pics to share so you'll get my badly lit practice doodles of different styles of cats that I drew the other day ( some copied off of other people's illustrations).

How are you all doing this week? 🧡

Happy BFSN Sunflowerkru!!! 🌻

Thank you @carrieeve and @ninappon for tagging me (this week and always)!

So, life/photo dump?? I feel like I blinked and 2023 was over. I did not make it to as many BFSNs as I hoped, but I still love y'all so much. ❤️

There's been lots of good and bad in the last year. We lost my sweet soul dog Abby in March, just a couple weeks after her 12th Gotcha Day. I still miss her dearly.

I spent a lot of precious time with my family and friends, and helped one of my besties get married in August!! And my older brother is marrying the love of his life in May this year! Love all around!💕

I got a promotion over the summer and it's been really good, but we're understaffed so it's been a looooot of work. We were just approved to hire some extra people, so hopefully things will ease up here soon. I really love the work I do, and I want to be able to do it for a long time. 😊

We had Snowmageddon a couple weeks ago! I think they said we broke every record for snowfall in our area back to around 1910? It was the most snow we've had in a single day since they started keeping written records, and then we had a deep freeze so it stuck around. I think final totals were between 10-12". Schools were out for 9 days!! It NEVER snows like this where I live, so we don't have the equipment and means to clear the roads quickly and get around safely. It was nuts. The picture of my car is from the end of Day 1, and it was still snowing at that point. The last snow picture of my yard at night was from the end of Day 8.

In the midst of Snowmageddon, my dad rescued me in his truck so I could go see the touring Broadway Wicked (twice 😃)! And it was magical both times. ✨️💚

And finally, the sunrise picture is from this morning. 🌄

I'll do my best do participate more often, I really do love BFSN and hearing all about how you all are doing! Sending so much love and tagging @togetherkru @roguetwelve @pendragaryen @infp-with-all-the-feelings @bookwormforalways @natassakar and everyone else that has been a part of the Bellarke fam over the years! ❤️

Thank you so much, dear friend!! I miss you too, I'm sorry I haven't been around our little corner of the internet. Work has kind of overtaken my life, so I've had very little me time lately. This was such a lovely notification to receive though and it put a big ole smile on my face. And I am, in fact, currently munching on a little mini cake that my co-workers brought me today! 😃

How are you??????? How are things??????? What's going on in life these days?????? 🤗🤗🤗

Hi Sunflowerkru, it's Thursday ;-)

It's been 2199 since the Praimfaya episode and I may be the first to launch the BFSN. Thanks to @as-inevitable-as-morning for suggesting the date, it's a great idea to remind us a bit of what brought us together for several months/years. Meanwhile, please appreciate my face in my garden…

Happy very special BFSN Sunflowerkru 💜💜

I can’t believe it’s been 2199 days since my favorite episode of the 100 aired. Seems insane. I’m so glad to have met all of you brilliant and amazing people through this show. Much love! Here’s us closing out my city’s annual Ukrainian festival on the weekend. The crowds this year were ridiculously huge! So nice to see so many people supporting the arts and Ukrainian culture after the pandemic and the war have had such negative impacts. And the sunset right after we performed was stunning. I wish I had a picture!

Hello and happy bfsn! 👋🏻🧡

Here's me joining in with an actual selfie for once! And some flowers just because.

I too am happy and grateful that this show, and our shared love for it, brought us all together 💕 love to hear from you each week, and love seeing all the content that is still being made and reblogged so I can continue loving this thing that gives me so much joy (even with that shitty ending).

Thanks for the tags @togetherkru @roguetwelve and @carrieeve love to you all and also the rest of the fam @burninghoneyatdusk @nakey-cats-take-bathsss @infp-with-all-the-feelings @pendragaryen @natassakar @bookwormforalways @geekyogicheese @jeanie205 @travllingbunny @heartbellamy @moreflowersthanweeds @kizo2703 @okmcintyre @igotbellarkeforthat @imruination @brightblakes and all those who don't participate in the fandom as much anymore. I'm still glad to see you on my dash ;)

HAPPY BFSN Y'ALL🖤

And happy day 2199!! Gonna take tonight to reflect on what bellarke has brought to me (with a flashback photo to the first time I ever did a bfsn🥲). I joined in pretty late to the fandom - started watching in 2019 - and then stalked a lot of you on here for a while before I had the courage to start interacting with y'all😂. Who knew that this small corner of the internet would be what helped me get through the covid years! This little community brought me so much joy and actually gave me hope to look forward to in the dark times ("we still breathing?"). I looked forward to every BFSN, every BWC, everyone jumping on and engaging after new episodes; I fell in love with fanfiction (cause forreal bellarke fam has got some of the best of the best and I'm waiting for some of y'all to publish real books cause I will buy them in a heartbeat!!). I can't remember if there was anything else I was planning to say haha but thank you thank you thank you for being such a bright spot in my life - love you, all of my "internet friends" (as my real life friends refer to you), even those who aren't on here anymore/aren't really involved with bellarke anymore🖤

BFSN fammmmm! Happy 2,199 Day! ❤️

Wow, it's been a minute. Thank you so much to my lovelies @togetherkru @roguetwelve @carrieeve @ninappon @natassakar @jeanie205 and @infp-with-all-the-feelings for tagging me this week and so many weeks previously 🙈.

I'm sorry I've been so absent. Work has been absolutely hellish for the last few months and I've been devoting a lot of time to self care, which has included cutting my social media use to almost nothing haha. But I couldn't miss this week (even though I'm late 🙃)!!! Y'all are still one of the best things that has happened to me, and I'm forever grateful for our beautiful Bellarke fam! I love seeing your lovely faces and everything you have been up to! You all are such wonderful souls! 😘😘😘

These pics are from my bestie's birthday weekend back in March! Her friend is a pilot, so the weekend included a joyride for the 3 of us in her cute little plane. 😍

Hopefully by the end of this month, we'll be in better shape at work. I'll try to be better at joining in! Much love to you all and to my favorite episode of The 100! 🔥

I haven't got much to say this week, work's mad and I can't wait for Christmas, even if it's really one day off. But here, enjoy the outtakes of me trying to take a photo of Spencer in a Santa hat. She's not a fan but once a year, I can't help myself.

Hey Sunflowerkru! 🥶

It’s almost Christmas even though it really doesn’t feel like it. We weren’t able to put on our usual production of the Nutcracker for a whole bunch of different reasons… Which makes me really sad because it’s my last year and it’s my favorite show to perform. But the film version that was created for the pandemic was shown at the theatre and we surprised the audience by bringing up the screen and performing the waltz of the snowflakes live which was special in its own way ☺️❄️

I still haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet and it’s -31º so I don’t really want to start. But I guess that’s a problem I can solve tomorrow. Right now I’m just going to curl up under a bunch of blankets with Charlie in my lap and try to stay warm.

I can’t wait to see all of your Christmas photos next week!

Thanks for the tag @carrieeve even though tumblr was up to some mischief 😝. I love all of Spencer’s reactions to her festive little Santa hat. So utterly adorable 💜

Happy BFSN and Happy Holidays Sunflowerkru!!!!!!! 🎅🎄❄️

Thank you for the tag @carrieeve and @roguetwelve 😘😘😘

I figured I'd pop in here one more time before the year is out. Here is me being comfy cozy on my couch in the warm glow of my Christmas tree. It makes my house smell soooooo good. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I'm sending each and every one of you love and warm wishes for the New Year! ❤️❤️❤️

@carrieeve @roguetwelve @igotbellarkeforthat Thank you for tagging me, ladies! And a special thank you for your special thoughts. Means a lot. Thank you also for all your words of comfort and encouragement on my last posts. I can't put into words how important even your support from afar is to me. My sister got her first round of chemicals yesterday and all in all she's doing okay today. She has to got to the hospital every week now for about 12 weeks. The whole treatment is scheduled for 24 weeks, more or less. We all hope that the tumor has shrunken by the end of the 12 weeks....

To get ourselves distracted we visited the nearby Marienburg Castle last weekend, where a beautiful christmas wonderland/fairytale with wonderful decorations took place. It's so hard to decide, but here you have a few photos from there. It was quite nice and the right distraction in this trying time.

Also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB! Bless you and your little family! 😘🥳🎂🎁🎊🍀🍀🍀

Kim your selfie is the cutest, I'll try to take some pics of me at Christmas, for the next BFSN, but for now I've got nothing new... I can just show you some pics a friend of mine took a few days ago in Versailles, with the snow... Like in a fairy tale...

Hi Sunflowerkru !! Here I am again after 5 intense days in Berlin with my 47 students. I’m so sorry for last week, i even didn’t tag anyone lol… We had some minor problems to deal with (a boy who smoked, some students who were sick) but nothing serious in the end. It was very cold (-2°C) but the city was already decorated for Christmas, and the atmosphere was magical. After 2 years of Covid and anxiety, it felt good. And the students were, I think, overall very happy. They saw a lot of things in a short time.

For the pics you’ll find : Alexander Platz, das Brandenburger Tor, die Hackesche Höfe, East Side Gallery, Schloss Sans Souci in Potsdam (I take the risk to show you the group, but i don’t think anyone can recognize anyone here…) and a Christmas Market.

Now my life is back on track, between work and family, and I am thinking of you all.

Dear sunflowerkru, happy Tuesday!

@togetherkru thanks for the tag and wow! Would you look at those photos?! I’m so jealous about what looks like an awesome trip but boy, I could not take care of the kids. You’re a rock star.

As for me, I actually have a selfie on this selfie night ;-) over the weekend, I finished knitting a jumper for myself–the very one I’m wearing here. I was gonna get up and take a picture of it but Spencer came for cuddles and I just couldn’t shoo her away so a compromise happened. It was a very simple design and a very well written patter, and for my first one ever, I think it came out nicely (this photo also nicely hides all the imperfections, like too long sleeves 😁)

On the other hand, work is mad. With the end of the year approaching, I caber remember my name. But we’re dealing.

Have a great everyone!

Stef, it looks like you managed to see many cool places while also herding a big group of students! I hope you also had time to enjoy yourself while at it :) What is Hackesche Höfe?

Karolina, awesome job with the jumper! It’s looking good! I think Spencer has gotten used to being your model and wouldn’t let you hog the spotlight by yourself.

These pics are from the other weekend when the snow really started coming down and creating that whole mess with the traffic. But before that happened I was enjoying some time with my family at a garden center/cafe where we went to have a fika (noun (or verb); to have coffee, usually with cake) to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Afterwards we looked around the garden center with their adjoining greenhouse. such a wonderful little oasis 😍

Thank you all so much for tagging me. I love seeing all your photos every week - (@togetherkru, you really are an amazing traveler!) whether it’s cities I’ve never been to and probably never will travel to, or beautiful flowers, or your adorable pets, or shows you’re in, or whatever you all happen to be doing that week. But unfortunately I have nothing interesting to post myself!

(The only picture I’ve taken lately was of our family gravestone decorated for Christmas, because among 10 cousins I’ve somehow been designated the keeper of the grave, but I’m not posting that here! 😁)

When I see the posts come in every week I’m reminded of all the lovely mutuals I have out there.

So to all of you and to everyone I’ve missed, Happy BFSN, Sunflowerkru! I hope you’re having a lovely holiday season. Have a great week.

Until next Tuesday.

It’s been… a minute since I’ve participated and all I really have to say for myself is that life has been busy and I haven’t really been on any social media in the last few months. I’ll probably continue my mini hiatus until after the holidays are over. But I happen to be taking a sick day today and have some free time and I’ve missed you guys!! I hope you all have been doing well! Thank you to everyone who has continued to tag me every week. 😘

I’ve been watching the World Cup and rooting for all the countries where I know we have Bellarke fam. There have been some great matches! ⚽️❤️

Hi everyone ☺️

It’s been a few weeks for me too. It’s bitterly cold here (currently feels like -22C with the wind) and most of the pretty lights aren’t up yet so there hasn’t been much to take pictures of.

So here’s a picture of my ‘never ending’ knitting project. I already restarted it from scratch once and I keep getting frustrated and putting it down for months at a time haha. But all I have left if the final row putting the cowl together, so maybe it’ll be finished before Christmas? 😅

Thanks for the tags everyone!

@togetherkru Such cool places to explore! Your story reminds me of my high school trip to Havana when my roomie almost got sent home for making out with a Cuban boy on the beach. The things that teachers have to deal with 😂. I’m glad it wasn’t too stressful and you had a wonderful time

@carrieeve as someone with ridiculously long arms, too long arms on a sweater sounds like an excellent addition rather than an ‘imperfection’! Your sweater looks so fluffy and cozy. You should be very proud. And Spencer looks dashing as always 💜

@igotbellarkeforthat Great to hear from you! I’m glad you’re doing well. And as always, you have such an amazing eye for photography! That sunrise is stunning 💜

@ninappon So nice to find a little tropical oasis amongst these freezing temps. Love the orchids!

The picture is sunrise from my backyard a couple days ago. The sunbeams were crazy cool!

Thank you @togetherkru and @carrieeve for the tags this week!

Hi Sunflowerkru !

Today is a very special Tuesday ! It’s @geekyogicheese Nadia’s birthday, so here are a few flowers from my garden crossing the space to join you on the other side of the earth  💜 ! I wish you all the best for this special day 🎂 🎂 🎂 , and I hope you can share it with everyone you love 🥂 .

I hope everyone is well, personally I’m a bit overwhelmed with work, and I didn’t manage to make many Gifs for #Thebestofthe100…but I’m sure others will have done amazing things. I’m ready to reblog endlessly !

Happy BFSN Sunflowerkru!!! Thanks for the tag @togetherkru ! 🌻

And a VERY Happy Birthday to our dear @geekyogicheese !!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

These were taken at Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park! We did a short hiking trail across the lake that is accessible by boat, it was an absolutely gorgeous day! And on the boat ride back, we saw a grizzly bear and a black bear on one of the banks (through binoculars, thankfully they were pretty far away 😅).

Happy bfsn fam!

And a happy birthday to @geekyogicheese who I’m following as of this moment 🥳 I hope you have the best birthday!

Thanks @togetherkru, @pendragaryen (pretty flowers from the both of you 🌻) and @igotbellarkeforthat for the tags. Wow, those photos Kim! Such a beautiful place 😍 very cool that you got to see bears as well on your trip (from a safe distance)!

Not much happening over here aside from the fact that it is definitely autumn now, even though a few blooms are still hanging in there. Not looking forward to months of darkness and bare trees but at least I get to enjoy the leaves changing colours before that happens :)

Tumblr is not being very friendly to me tonight, so I’ve given up on trying to post my photo. It wasn’t much anyway, the weather is dreadful, so there isn’t much worth photographing. I hope you’re all having a good day 💜

Thanks for the tag @togetherkru @pendragaryen @ninappon @igotbellarkeforthat ❤ and happy birthday @geekyogicheese 🎉🥳

Hi Sunflowerkru!

I don’t have any good pictures this week so like Kim I’m going to throw it back to my mountain adventures.

Here’s Horseshoe Lake - a now TikTok famous cliff jumping spot (don’t do it. People die. I was seriously covering my eyes constantly). And another shot of the Aurora Borealis.

It’s now officially Fall here too. Things are getting cold and dreary. But we’re back on tour so hopefully I’ll have a chance to snap a pic or two out east. If not, you get more backstage shots lol.

@togetherkru Stef your flowers are always so beautiful 💜

Anne and so are yours! So glad that you’re slowly getting back on your feet. You’ve got this!

Kim - I just love mountain lakes so much. And all of the colors of the rocks make that one even better. Also laughing about the bears. I was (accidentally) way too close to a black bear once. They’re not too bad as long as their cubs aren’t around. But a grizzly is 😳

Nina I’m 100% not looking forward to the cold and dark either. Hang onto those beautiful blooms while you can!

Happy birthday, dear Nadia @geekyogicheese!!!🥳🥳🥳 Have a great day with your loved ones! And may all your wishes come true! Thought I dedicate this photo of my lovely aster plant to you today! 😘🥰 It was a Welcome-back-home-from-hospital-gift from my mum and I thought it so fitting as a motive for today’s special BFSN. 😉😁🌼

Dear 🌻-kru, of course I wish you the best tuesday today too! And thanks again for all your lovely wishes and thoughts for me throughout the last couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling a bit better, can move around a bit more without much pain. Of course I still need painkillers through the day and especially at night to get some sleep. I have to be patient. But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. At least physically. I avoid thinking too much about my mental health these days. I just try to let myself recover and dream through the days.

I still can’t sit or stand very long (or stay very long in ANY position tbh…😪), so I don’t think I can participate in TheBestOfThe100 event, but be sure that I’ll reblog the hell out of your creations. I’m so looking forward to this after everything I’ve been going through lately! Some love and positivity for our beloved 6 seasons in existence!😇😝🙃😉 Lots of hugs!
