#personal planning

Okay, my inexperienced Blender-using tail needs to start with "Playstation 1" models, then work its way up to "Playstation 2" ones... Actually, perhaps I could even work on a personal and identifiable style that's like a lovechild of my two main gaming eras growing up?

I think I may start posting pencil sketches to my other social media accounts, but with it varying: digital and traditional together when available (like on Deviantart because of the new "multiple images per submission" thing), and just having a lone folder for traditional art with sites like FurAffinity. Just a good way to help attract eyes and show my passion for my craft, which is always good for when you're planning to build an audience for your works.

“Precarious” or Something Better? Choosing Your Word for 2026

Markets may feel uncertain heading into 2026, yet that uncertainty does not have to dictate your direction. You retain control by choosing a guiding word that anchors decisions, reinforces discipline, and shapes how you respond to financial and personal pressure.

This article explains why the word precarious surfaced in market commentary, how language influences behavior, and how selecting a personal word for 2026 can strengthen focus, consistency, and execution. You’ll learn how to translate one word into repeatable action that holds up across changing conditions.

Why did “precarious” surface as a word for the 2026 market outlook?

“Precarious” reflects a market environment sensitive to shifts in policy, data, and sentiment. When Fortune referenced an AI-generated summary of Wall Street’s outlook, the term resonated because balance across markets feels narrow rather than secure. Small changes in expectations now trigger outsized reactions.

Interest-rate decisions remain tightly linked to inflation signals. Equity valuations respond quickly to earnings guidance and forward projections. Capital flows react faster than before, leaving less room for delayed adjustment. These conditions create fragility that analysts often describe with cautious language.

Market descriptors explain risk exposure, not individual outcomes. They capture the environment investors operate within, yet they do not determine how you structure finances or make choices. Treating market language as destiny often leads to hesitation that undermines long-term plans. Learn More…

I think from now on, I'm only gonna post completed stories to anywhere outside of A03, while updating chapters on Archive of Our Own in the meantime. I feel like it'd make things a lot less tedious, and it'd give people completed stories to read-- or a majority of completed stories, given whatever the file/size limit might be on sites like Deviantart or FurAffinity. If it's too big in one post, obviously I'll upload in parts then.

This is my updated showreel. I didn’t have a great amount of animation to add but I have included my 13th principle piece. I have also changed the music purely because I was bored of the other song. I was kindly given the song by a friend who created it.

timetabling my weeks

This is my plan for the research report proposal just so that I can keep track of myself and have a little to do list to tick off each week, I find that I’m allot more productive using endless lists.

And this is the timeline I plan on following for the Collab animation. After telling the group that I feel as though we should aim to get most of the animation done for the week of the 3rd-9th they all agreed and we had another conversation about what we will all be working during this week, and so far everyone seems up to date. Except for Mia who has re-joined the group but did have a good idea and a nice animatic to show, it just depends on weather she can get the work done it time.

13th principle, Easter break timetable

Today I just spent time planning out what I’m going to be doing and when during the break so I don't fall behind. I made it in Excel like the example Gant chart that Jon made but I like the layout of mine better as I find it easier to understand.

Hopefully if I stick to this timetable I’ll have the majority of the practical work done during the break so that I can focus on the research proposal side of things more when its easier to get in touch with teachers because I find that type of work harder.

Also as a producer (with Alexandra) we need to start timetabling out and making sure everyone has a clear idea of when things need doing so creating this practice one for myself was a great help. 

On Wednesday we have another group meeting and hopefully we can finalise our idea and the thing that links all of our individual animations together, as we couldn't do this before as we couldn't get in contact with the majority of the group, but as we’ve tried contacting them the past two weeks with nothing we are deciding upon our idea this wed, weather they are there or not, but if not me and Alexandra will be taking notes so we can fill them in and keep everyone updated.

We created a teams chat that we have had a couple of meetings in already but after discovering that the easiest way to reach most people is over discord we also created a discord chat so we can message in that but we will be using teams to send things/ make calls. As for the format of the assets and thigs we create that's yet to be decided, but on wed I’ll suggest we do the regular 1920x1080 and 25fps. So far Me, Alexandra and Mia plan on animating inside adobe animate and Jack is thinking maybe a mix of 2D traditional and digital. but again this will likely come up again on wed meeting when we finalise our ideas.
