Edits and Random Thoughts

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

goblin themed stimboard with pretty knives and dice for anon, let me know if you’d like anything changed! goblin pride flag from @mcdhashbrown

step 1: get comfy. fight your chair. arrange supplies just so. build a nest. it doesn’t matter as long as your space is set up and you won’t be dealing with something poking your backside constantly. maybe get some nondistracting music going.

step 2: stock up whatever drinks/snacks you’d like to have on hand. make sure they won’t spill on your textbooks. I personally reccomend ginger chews because the burn keeps me Here but it’s up to you.

step 3: grab your phone. set a timer for anywhere between 20-40 mins. I’ve seen varying recommendations, but definitely don’t go over 50 mins. that’s just too long. now, toss (or gently place) that sucker out of arm’s reach. get a separate calculator if you need one, but the phone will suck you in, man.

step 4: study until that timer runs out. make notes in bubble or chart or whatever format for reading. just force yourself to keep trying. (disclaimer: I do not have any learning disabilities. this advice is from the perspective of a perfectionist. I do not think this will override anybody’s other conditions.)

step 5: try not to take too long of a break, but for the love of all that is sacred, stretch. pace around for a few minutes. go make yourself some more tea. I don’t know. just try to keep it around 10mins.
