The Garden (Closed RP)

It was around 8pm at night. Elsa sat on her bed, reading over her notes once more. She was currently studying architecture at the local university, her love of geometry influencing her diploma choice. She had ensured to keep her distance from those around her, not wanting her magic to harm anyone. It had done enough damage in her family already. She had been approached by a few too many guys, who seemed intent that she was “playing hard to get”, and she had turned each one down. She wasn’t one for relationships.

She let out a sigh, and collapsed onto her bed, her mind hazy with constant thoughts of architecture floating through her mind. The sound of laughter alerted her attention to outside, and she sat up. Her parents had gone out with Anna, and once again Elsa had refused to go with them. She ran to her balcony, and gasped. Her beloved garden was being absolutely destroyed.

“Hey!” She yelled. “What are you doing?!”

PSA: Toning it down

So I’m actually really drowned in work right now. I’m a senior in high school who needs to put all her efforts in to get into a good college, and to add to that, I’m a girl with high standards for grades. I aim for As all the time but the thing is I’m not getting that lately. 80% of my grades are Bs and Cs and I’m here pulling at my hair because of it.

Also, since I’m in the IB program, I get so much work that I don’t get to sleep very much. Just this week I’ve felt really weak and sickly because I’ve only had an hour of sleep every night. I blame the workload, but the main reason for it is because I’ve put too much of my time on Tumblr.

I’ve developed an unhealthy obsession for this website and fandom that I’m already losing focus. It’s even come to the point that I’m on Tumblr during class time, responding to threads (Hel, I’m writing this PSA in Maths right now). I’m not only highly disregarding my grades, but also my mental and physical health. I need to set my priorities straight if I want to return the balance in my life again.

So for those that I am currently RP-ing with, no I am not deactivating (I’d be out of my mind if I did that. I love our RPs!). I’m simply going to be cutting down on the time that I put on Tumblr, since I’m online, like... 24/7. From now on, I’ll only be online during 8-9 pm (GMT +8:00) from Sunday to Thursday, and for Fridays and Saturdays, I’ll be online during 6-10 pm. At least this will give me time to lay back from all the stress and do what I love, instead of mixing it with my work time and ultimately not do anything productive in the end. I’ve been trying to do this for awhile now but I always end up not following it because I know you guys aren’t aware. So this is me not only telling you, but also reminding myself that it’s time to take things seriously. 

That being said, I will do my best to reply to all the threads under this given amount of time. It will always be first come, first serve. If I don’t get to reply, then I’m sorry but you’ll have to wait for another 24 hours. My mood also comes into play, if I’m feeling selective or not. For those who want to RP with me while I’m online (and get fast replies like I used to intend), you’ll have to catch me during those time frames only, if I’ve already finished replying to all the others. Once the clock strikes 9:01 or 10:01 pm, expect that I will no longer reply until the next time I go on. 

The same goes for my main blog, hiccupsgreeneyes. It will only be during these times that I will refill my queue, answer any asks, or do any memes. 

I hope you guys understand. :) Thanks a lot for reading this PSA. I love you, our threads, and this fandom soooooooooo much <3

"Tell me about your first day as chief." { ravensteira } (hiii!)

meme (accepting) + ravensteira

          the chief lets out a guttural laugh, leaning back in the saddle, deft hands absently playing with one of its frayed leather clasps. that’s a question he’s never been asked before.

               ❝ —oh boy, it was INSANE, ❞ he replies, a look of pained nostalgia in his bright fern eyes.❝ I honestly don’t know how I survived it. ❞ then he launches into his narrative, hands gesturing this way and that in his usual Hiccup manner.

               ❝ ——I got up before the sun rose. I don’t remember if I even went to sleep; it was my first night alone in the house–…y’know, without DAD, and it was too quiet, so I just got up. there was breakfast in the great hall, and I was expected to give a speech to sort of rally the troops — I’d watched dad do it enough times that I knew what to say, but that didn’t stop my hands from trembling as I got up there and did it. so I stumbled my way through that and immediately went out back and heaved; nerves got the better of me, I guess. ❞ the chief pauses and chuckles sheepishly at the recollection; he leans forward, resting crossed arms on the broad black expanse of Toothless’ head, absently running a hand over the dragon’s ear flaps as he continues. 

               ❝ —and, of course, I didn’t eat breakfast after that; I just launched myself straight into repair work, which took up most of the daylight hours. I spent the whole day looking behind me for dad whenever anyone said ‘CHIEF’ or ‘SIR’ — luckily, everyone understood and shrugged it off, or I’d have died of embarrassment halfway through the day. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without GOBBER and MOM; they’d spent so much time working with dad that they was able to steer me proper; and Gobber acted as my unofficial right-hand man, which I couldn’t have done without. 

               and, of course, there was ASTRID. ❞ a somewhat spellbound look enters his features, and Toothless heaves a long-suffering dragon sigh, striking eyes rolling in their large sockets. ❝ THOR ALMIGHTY, I would have gone Berserker without her. would you believe that I actually had to be REMINDED TO EAT? or to TAKE A BREAK? I think I would have kept working well into night if she hadn’t been there to shepherd me. she had to physically take me out of the saddle at day’s end — I was EXHAUSTED. I was afraid I’d given Toothless saddle sores, and his wings even needed to be iced. 

               overall, I’d say my first day as chief was productive — TERRIFYING and absolutely INSANE, but productive. and most importantly, I passed the unspoken test; I was accepted by the vast majority as a worthy chief. ❞
