This will be a spoiler FREE blog for The Last Jedi until December 15.

If anybody cares. After the premiere it’s a fair game, though there is probably no need to mention that, as tlj will probably be the only thing everyone will be talking about!

Where have I been?

School. Grad school. It's a lot of work. ;-)

Everything is going well. I have an advisor. I started working seriously on a research project. It is going reasonably well. I've just been very busy and haven't had that much time to blog.

I just finished finals a few days ago, and I should have some more time to blog over the summer. I will still be a school doing research, but I won't have multiple classes on top of my research.

Requesting Rules

This will always stay under the tag of #blognotes. You know, so it doesn’t get lost under a sea of who knows what.

1. No NSFW, 18+, etc.

Kinda simple really. Quite a lot of us here are minors but the concept of writing these topics just doesn’t work for us. So please don’t request them.

2. Respect triggers and Blacklists.

It’s currently in progress, but we’re currently making a card so you can get to know us a bit. While some of us are going to write for some object shows, some of us aren’t. So don’t be a jerk about that!

3a. For now, please keep requests II exclusive.

This rule is very much subject to change if me and the other mods feel like we can write for more object shows since we have a good deal of diversity when it comes to shows we’ve watched. But yes, please just keep those requests II. Also….

3b. Please try to refrain from requesting lesser known characters.

Now then, I’m not saying you CAN’T do this. There’s probably someone in the world who sees , I don’t know, Starfruit as a huge comfort character. Still though, it may take a bit longer for your request to be done if you ask for a less known character so please respect this.

For now, that’s all. This rule page will be updated accordingly with guidance and requests from the other mods when needed, and I’ll probably let you know when that happens.

SELF PORTRAIT

5.11.14

When I was flicking through my travel photos, this was one that kinda made me stop a little. I know, it's a photo of me, but as a selfie scaredy-cat it was one of the few where I was actually in. When I saw it, it really clicked inside me how much I had changed, or more accurately, found and became myself. There's nothing special about the photo, heck it's even pretty blurry, but to me it really shows that who I am inside is coming, or.. has come out. From what I'm wearing, holding (I do mean the camera more but yes, even that MAC bag, opps), where I'm standing and even what I'm doing, these were all things I was once afraid of. It sounds almost kinda preposterous but I once feared even being the slightest inch different ot my environment to really embacing and wanting that now. Not to say that I'm Lady Gaga is the crowd, but I'm me. And I finally feel like that's really becoming true.

be what you weren’t

29.6.14

A little while ago, someone said to me, "you're a head gear sort of person hey?". And I agreed happily. Not that that was even a compliment, it was one of those moments when I thought that someone was seeing me for who I am and not for what I was.  And that in my mind, was a big win.

I don't consider myself a shy person, or that I was one, I was just really insecure growing up. I never wanted to be different, to stand out (for good or bad reasons) or any of that sort of thing. All in all, I was deathly afraid to be myself for the longest time, and it's only been the last year that I feel like I'm not just finding myself, but I'm starting to be myself. And in all honesty, it includes of almost everything I was once afraid of.

I'm a pretty right brained person (and I have a silly quiz's results from yesterday to prove it - 69:31 right to left brain ratio baby - cue the groans) but I didn't realise that being creative was the absolute core of me until a year or two ago. I thought I was a logic driven person, but that was who I tried to be for most of my life (#asiankidproblems).  So now I'm pushing myself to be myself, and so when that person said that to me, I realised I was actually getting there and that meant something to me. Even if it's small things like wearing a head scarf, something I was afraid to do once upon a time, it makes a difference and reminds me that I can be who I am and that I should. (especially since clothing is a creative outlet for me). 

Even if that's not how people (especially those in my past) might see me, it doesn't matter. It's how you see yourself that emanates and that's what really matters.

x, maia

Omg I’ve been using xkit wrong, with tags in the reblog text 😆 To be fair, it isn’t exactly clear, and none of the buttons have floating little helper texts around, so I’ve been just guessing like in good old Tamagotchi times
