is this that nightmare?

behind-the-scenes thoughts + cipher answers:

drew this in the middle of the night as if waking up from a cold sweat.

Also entitled “lost girl”. the circles on Dess…. Both are meant to callback to the Roaring Knight, except with the additional idea of being a deer in headlights, or a deer being hunted down; the circle on her chest, being similar to what is revealed to be in the Knight’s chest when it roars, is drawn like a scope’s target.

I was meant to render this more, but…. the feeling and meaning of it all is what mattered most, and it all started coming together…. As this was themed around dreams and psychosis, it was also fitting that it came off as more of an impression.

The boxy codes are actually a variant of the PIGPEN CIPHER that I was obsessed with as a kid and can fluently write in. If you want to try to translate them yourself, look below! If you just want a translation, go further.

LOST WHERE THE FOREST WOULD GROW

DARKER YET DARKER

THE CHILDREN FOLLOWED THE POINTED TAIL

DON’T FORGET

IS THIS THAT NIGHTMARE

OR WAS EVERYTHING JUST

A DREAM

I know I said that my scorpio venus makes me attached to my hoes but my virgo mars isn't completely innocent. I think why there are hoes I've kept and hoes that I've left is bc how useful they are to me. What good are they to me if they don't stay close to me? It doesn't matter if they're amazing at sex when I can't even scream in pleasure bc they live in a place where we have to keep quiet.

In honor of the Chinese Year of the Sheep/Goat/Ram that began February 19, 2015, I’m dedicating the 2015 Mandala of the Year to the Goat. Each month we’ll explore a trait or symbol of the goat to explore how we can incorporate it into our own lives.

For Section 11 we look at the goat energy of practical.

In the case of goats, more and more…

At first, do everything

One of our advisors at CodeFights once gave us this tidbit:

At first, do everything.

It turns out that this is a pretty common refrain in StartupLand, because as the lesson goes, learn how to do something yourself and you’ll be better prepared to find someone to delegate the activity to later (or something to that effect).

At CodeFights this means we run a lean ship — and do (most)everything ourselves. No outside PR, no content writers, no outsourced development. We always take a crack at things first before looking for help.

Of course, this approach doesn’t scale very well, as there are better writers out there than me, and I can’t wait to hire a designer who blows me away (shouldn’t be too hard). After all, as a co-founder in the long run my job is to get out of the way — but initially we all have to get our hands a little dirty.
