Ellie In Her Jackson Outfit In Seattle Is So Fit I Might Get Pregnant

WOULD LICK HER BACK UNTIL MY TONGUE DISINTEGRATES

forever bitter b/c the moment motherfucking drama queen sirius black chose to find his Chill™ was that precise second when his desperate, distraught, despondent godson asked him to explain thoroughly and in detail how exactly it was that his mother and father got together because his mother OBVIOUSLY hated his father. 

Alternative ‘nah, she didn’t’ canon-plausible Sirius reactions:

grabbing Floo Harry by the shoulders and saying, “harry,  your mum loved your dad as much as i loved my motorbike.”

listing places he caught them snogging

giving an overly detailed three hour oral history of their romance

or a three minute oral history in musical form

harry, has anyone had the talk with you? do you know what sexual tension is? (remus: sit down, sirius.)

reciting from memory the half written sonnet james had started for lily for seventh year valentine’s day, which he made the fatal mistake of chucking in the bin for sirius to find instead of burning it to erase all evidence

forcing remus to be lily and doing a dramatic reenactment of james proposing 

I took a glance at these photos and now I’m pregnant! How crazy😂😂

My favorite characters to draw coming to life from my art (sort of.. to the best of my ability)

Edit: The guy I edited Remus from is Otto Lotz :) Obviously looks nothing like my Remus but that’s who it was in that photo

Since quarantine is super boring here's a list of books recommendations (kinda long):

Feel free to add recommendations too!!!

Red Queen:

"Red Queen” is a young adult fantasy novel by Victoria Aveyard which follows how seventeen-year-old Mare Barrow's discovery that she, a peasant-born Red, has the special powers of the elite ruling Silvers and changes the course of her country's future" lots of politics, a lot of strong female characters. One of my fav books in the entire world and my entire personality is based on Mare Barrow. Also the love interest in the story is hot af. This series inspired like 90% of my writing.

Graceling:

"Graceling is the story of Katsa, a young warrior and her journey to self discovery. Throughout the Seven Kingdoms some people are born with what is known as a Grace. Those who are Graced are exceptionally skilled but each unique and specialized; some can swim like a fish while others can run faster than anyone else." This book is probably the most clever book I've ever read. It's got a good representation of abusive parents/caregivers, a blind poc love interest. The main character is the baddest b*tch in the universe and I will let her step on my face.

Fire:

"A monstrously beautiful young girl must come to terms with her powers, powers that her father used to cause chaos and death in the kingdom. This story is set on an alternate fantasy world where people and wild animals can be born with magical powers that can enthrall normal folk into doing their bidding. Part of this magic is linked to their unearthly beauty which is used by most ordinary people to recognize, avoid and hate these monsters. Having this power not only means you have unnatural beauty and that you can enthrall others, but that you can also read their minds. Fire is a human form of one of these rare monsters and she's grown up with a cruel and infamous Father, Lord Cansrel, who used his powers to cause the downfall of the kingdom called the Dells." I ADORE this book. A lot of time when people write a character who's woc they tend to make her "strong female character" personality very basic and just "a girl who can punch" but in this novel, Fire (the main character) is so much more than that. She's an absolute sweetheart who must be protected at all costs but also a badass who overcame abuse and loss of loved ones and learnt to love herself. The main character owns my heart and all my uwu's.

Bitterblue:

"Bitterblue is a queen that must reign over a kingdom still healing from the cruelty of their previous King. Bitterblue is the daughter of a psychopathic, power-hungry and sadistic Father, King Leck of Monsea. She lives in world where people with different left and right colored eyes are Graced." Okay so this book doesn't have a lot of "action" in it. Not many fighting scenes and it's mostly about discovering secerts and sneaking around but the way the plot develops and the way everything unfolds is really brilliant and shocking. I couldn't put this book down for an entire weekend. Also Bitterblue is relatable af.

Vampire Academy:

"Vampire Academy is a series of six young adult paranormal romance novels by American author Richelle Mead. It tells the story of Rosemarie "Rose" Hathaway, a seventeen/eighteen-year-old Dhampir girl, who is training to be a guardian of her Moroi best friend, Vasilisa "Lissa" Dragomir." I know a lot of vampire stories are very clichè but this series has a really original concept of vampires and a incredible plot. I grew up on this series (it's not a children's book tho) and it's the reason why I started reading in english.

Bloodlines (Vampire Academy's Spin-Off):

"The main character and narrator is an Alchemist, Sydney Sage. Sydney's job in the mission is to act as Jill's older sister and roommate at a private boarding school in Palm Springs, California. The job of an Alchemist is to clean up vampire actions to hide and protect the human race from the vampire race" I just started the first book and I really love it, the way the plot develops is so awesome and cool and it's impossible to put this book down. Also the main character has 0 social skills which is a big mood.

His Dark Materials:

This trilogy is about two kids (Lyra Belaqua and Will Parry) from two different universes who travel in the multiverse. This is my favourite trilogy in the entire world, the writing is brilliant and the world-building is amazing. The best trilogy ever written.

The Girl On The Train:

"Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar. Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train." I never read this book, I watched the movie and I was speechless by the end.

The next books are part of my list so I didn't read them.

Chaos Walking:

"Chaos Walking is a young adult science fiction series written by U.S.-born British novelist Patrick Ness. It's set in a dystopian world where all living creatures can hear each other's thoughts in a stream of images, words, and sounds called Noise. The three novels feature two adolescents, Todd Hewitt and Viola Eade, who encounter various moral issues and high stakes as the planet around them erupts into war."

The Raven Cycle:

Ok I have absolutely no clue what this series is about. The title sounds cool and I see a lot of posts about it on tumblr so I just added it to my list.

Sorcerer To The Crown:

"At his wit's end, Zacharias Wythe, Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers, ventures to the border of Fairyland to discover why England's magical stocks are drying up, an adventure that brings him in contact with Prunella Gentlewoman, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, and sets him on a path."

The Black Tides Of Heaven:

"The Black Tides of Heaven is a 2017 LGBT fantasy novella by Singaporean author JY Yang. The story centers around the twin children of the Protector, whose magic powers cause them to become entangled in the political machinations of their mother."

The Bluest Eye:

"Lorain, Ohio, in 1940–41, the novel tells the tragic story of Pecola Breedlove, an African American girl from an abusive home. Eleven-year-old Pecola equates beauty and social acceptance with whiteness; she therefore longs to have “the bluest eye.” Although largely ignored upon publication, The Bluest Eye is now considered an American classic and an essential account of the African American experience after the Great Depression."

For Today I Am A Boy:

A story about a chinese trans girl who tells about her childhood and about discovering her gender identity.

The Song Of Achilles

"In a world where Gods, demi-gods and people all live together, "The Song of Achilles" is the love story of Patroclus and Achilles. Both were born the sons of kings, but Patroclus' father exiles him when he is a boy after he accidentally kills a nobleman's son."

Ruby Red:

"Gwyneth Shepherd's sophisticated, beautiful cousin Charlotte has been prepared her entire life for traveling through time. But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth, who in the middle of class takes a sudden spin to a different era!Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon--the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential. Together, Gwyneth and Gideon journey through time to discover who, in the 18th century and in contemporary London, they can trust."

Dragon Sword and Wind Child:

"In the land of Toyoashihara, the forces of the God of Light and the Goddess of Darkness have waged war for generations. But for 15-year old Saya, the war is far away and unimportant--until the day she discovers she is the reincarnation of the Water Maiden and a princess of the Children of the Dark. Raised to love the Light and detest the Dark, Saya must come to terms with her heritage even as she is tumbled into the very heart of the conflict that is destroying her country. Both the army of the Light and Dark seek to claim her, for she is the only mortal who can awaken the legendary Dragon Sword, the weapon destined to end the war. Can Saya make the dreadful choice between the Light and Dark, or is she doomed like all the Water Maidens who have come before her?"

In all honesty, procrastination is my nemesis– and I think that goes for a whole lot of people, even here in the perfect world of studyblr. Here are some tips to get better at sitting down and going for it without getting distracted!

Removing Distractions

Physical Distractions

Clear any clutter off your desk. Having a more minimal workspace without yesterday’s receipt from lunch keeps you more focused.

Remove irrelevant items. If you don’t need it for the task at hand, get rid of it. This applies especially to appealing books, games, and puzzles.

Close the door. Whether literally, or figuratively, let other people know you’re working and ask them not to disturb you so you stay focused.

Digital Distractions

Use a website blocker. If you really need to stay away, try an app or extension to make sure you stick to focusing. Here are some options:

StayFocusd

Forest

SelfControl

Cold Turkey

Focus

Turn off phone notifications. Almost nothing is more likely to distract you, so use aeroplane mode, or block all social media notifications.

Getting to Work

Planning

Make a to-do list. Getting a solid list of what you need to do is one step closer to getting it done! Here are some printables that might help you:

Schedule according to your priorities. Breaking your tasks down by importance is another way to categorize and be more efficient.

Ensure that you look ahead. If necessary, look at your schedule in the future and plan that so that you’re forced to stay on track in order to not get behind your schedule.

Structuring your Work

Track what you’ve done. If you can check it off your list, you’ll just want that feeling again. It encourages you by showing that you can do it!

Time yourself. If you commit to ten minutes of work, you’re far more likely to just keep going, and timing’s also a great tracked. Here are a few apps you might find handy!

Toggl

Pomello

ClearFocus

Reward yourself at set times or milestones. Take breaks, grab a cup of coffee or an orange, and don’t work yourself into the ground. Giving yourself ten minutes off will refresh you, as long as you don’t go straight back to your distractions. 

You’ve got this!! Get yourself sorted and get going, because you most certainly have it in you :D
