«──« ⋅ʚ Hi, September ɞ⋅ »──»

➴ September 1, 2025. ₊˚ෆ

✎ it's actually august 30 but i don't care about it let's pretend ok?

ೃ⁀➷ i guess i'm back ༉‧₊

i allowed myself to break the illusion of a cool, curated inner monologue captured on this blog. i know it's been a while, but i'm back with more delusional tools for this project. classes started in mid-august, and i've been focusing on them ever since. now, three weeks in with new ideas, i feel confident enough to post again.

the plan is simple, as are my reasons. after a disastrous art history class, i decided that i could teach myself the entire syllabus, and why not a little bit more?

so, what else did we miss? let's see.

ೃ⁀➷ last month recap ༉‧₊

as i said, august has been a busy month for me. i didn't even have the energy to log my study sessions or share my thoughts on the start of the semester, but not all is lost! i have updated my pinned post with details of my courses and projects, and i will do the same with these little recaps.

now i won't be updating this as the months pass (and, let's be honest, i wasn't doing it anyway). now my goal is to condense everything into one session. i might not include the media i consume unless it sparks something in me. in that case, i might do a monthly favourites post, but we'll see.

───♡─────────────────♡─────────────────♡───

𖥔 august stats:

🤍Loving:

𖥔 physical DIY month planners.

𖥔 annotation journals, shared reading notes with friends.

𖥔 notion diaries for personal growth.

𖥔 substack articles.

𖥔 active university preparation.

𖥔 study essays.

𖥔 being myself with new people.

🤍Thinking:

𖥔 personal syllabus.

𖥔 clear schedules and tutoring friends.

𖥔 writing film articles and relatable content on substack.

ೃ⁀➷ monthly goals for september ༉‧₊

💭 — creative: start writing at least three to five articles for one or more of my substack blogs, involving the opinions and feedback of my friends, professors and other people in the future.

make some pages of my commonplace book with new themes and finish the voyager one.

💭 — academic: keep up the rhythm and tracking in all my lectures, prepare for the next classes, focus more on taking notes and clearing up any doubts i have about the subjects. maybe i should stop trying to be a smart ass and just enjoy understanding and participating in moderation.

i also need to start preparing seriously for my midterms next month.

💭 — health: take the damn medication and keep drinking water often.

It's time for the January Summary!

Let's begin with the (not very surprising) highest win count!

Richarlyson

Surprising absolutely noone, Richas has gotten the most wins, at a whopping 7/26! He's been voted most likely to:

Start the Warrior Cats roleplay

Get banned from the Warrior Cats roleplay

Start the NERF fight

Eat the raw cookie dough

Eat the mud pies

Throw the Wii remote into the wall

Get really weird while sick

That's a lot for a little ovo! You all scare me sometimes.

SunnySideUp

Our favorite princess arrives with an impressive 5/26 polls won! They've been voted most likely to:

Hyperfixate on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Have a "magical destiny" complex

Have the largest stuffed animal collection

Be very into the original (2014 and before) Barbie movies

Collect Loom Bands

That all seems to be very in character for her.

Pepito

I can't deny that Pepito is one of my favorites, but clearly Pepito is yours too, with 4/26 polls being won! Pepito has been voted most likely to:

Have the pet goldfish replaced weekly without noticing

Mistake an opossum for a cat and keep it as a pet

Watch "Hey Bear Sensory" videos for hours on end

Sit 3 inches away from the TV because Pepito wants glasses

We love Pepito here, don't we.

Chayanne

With 3/26 polls won, you can certainly tell he's picked up some habits from his father. Chayanne has been voted most likely to:

Teach the local corvids to rob people

Have a hyperfixation on Mythology

Attempt to fly off the roof with fake wings

I'm glad we all agree here.

Leonarda

I have to be honest, I don't see Leonarda that often. But it seems like you all love them very much, with 3/26 polls won, including being the winner of the FIRST ever poll on this blog! Leo has been voted most likely to:

Try and sneak a muddy stray dog into the house

Ride the family dog into 'battle'

Build the biggest snowman (very closely tied with Dapper!)

I hope her and her 193838 dogs do alright this month.

Dapper

While he hasn't won that many polls, the 2/26 that he has have made complete sense. Dapper has been voted most likely to:

Be like Sid from Toy Story with all of his toys

Actually summon a demon during the slumber party (and the most intense sweep, with over 80% of the votes!)

Who can blame him for needing more juice from his dad, right?

Tallulah

She's only won 1/26 polls, but hooooo boy did you all get heated about that one. Despite the attempts at sweeps, Tallulah has been voted most likely to:

Be a horse girl

Don't listen to the haters, queen. You can be a horse girl if you want.

Empanada

I hope our girl gets more love this month, with only 1/26 wins for January! Empanada was voted most likely to:

Have a stuffed animal net above their bed and have trouble sleeping for fear that it will fall on them in the middle of the night

That one is definitely a mouthful.

Ramón & Pomme

While these two didn't get any wins for January, I have high hopes that they will do just fine for February. After all, they'll have ~58 chances to do so!

God help me.

end of the month recap! left is at the beginning of the month, right is the most recent renders started off with a mostly finished low-poly of the armor and took it all the way to a full first texturing pass, as well as adding additional props like the earrings and weapons and doing a temporary pose to test the proportions properly the body textures are still at the same midway point as at the beginning of the month but I redid the eye shader and got started on the hair cards! the hair is about 60% done now and i want to do another pass on all of the textures once i have everything else done
