June Has Been Quiet And Turbulent At The Same Time So For This Month, I'd Like To Be Intentional About

i actually have a fanfic that i’ve been writing (and editing) where kaveh decides to explore teyvat after a massive change in his life happened. i just love the idea of kaveh getting to travel across teyvat so he can also see the various architecture styles and art practices that people outside of sumeru, and maybe learn a thing or two about himself along the way.

so here's a picture of kaveh looking towards sumeru city.

oh, in spite of how i've been feeling and thinking recently, i am actually grateful for may.

last month, i made my resignation at wok official and this month will be my last month with them. my reasons include both personal and career-related ones, though the personal ones weigh so much more. it feels freeing, though quite emotional having to leave people i've made friends with at work, and my students, too. i don't think i'll ever be "good with goodbyes". ( • ᴖ • ｡ )

i'm also grateful for getting the chance to watch one of my favourite japanese bands perform live at the start of the month! radwimps just left the country a few days ago, and i'm still on a high thinking about the concert, rewatching the short clips i managed to record while immersing myself to their songs, and playing their asia setlist on repeat in spotify. i remember writing it on my original bucket list that i wanted to see one of my favourite japanese bands in a concert so for it to actually happen feels awesome! ＼＼\(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶//／／

Daily Gratitude

May 2, 2024

What are you grateful for today?

Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)

I tag parts of the crew almost every day. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.

All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.

Prompt (if you want): In what way are you grateful for May?

i’m not yet done with the entire trailblaze mission of the recent update but m a n

AVENTURINE ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु

fought him in battle the first time and lost but i am still too emotional to build my characters and to try again ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु aventurine my beloved ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु

nothing really makes me happy than finding out no one has used my very common name as a username for an online platform (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧

created a cara account to try something new and to have a space that’s devoted solely to my works hihihi. iz time to make new art again (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧

so my life is once again in danger

I'm a venezuelan refugee in Spain since 2019. My focus was entirely on escaping and staying in a safe country. When I got here, I got the help of an accountant/manager to start working legally.

He committed fraud in my name without telling me and refused to take responsibility. I was penalized to pay €8600 for his mistake.

I'll add the whole explanation after the read more because you need context to understand what he did.

And now if I can't pay this thing, my residence will be taken away. I will be deported.

I've tried so hard to raise this money. More work, more marketing, preorders, asking for a loan, but nothing has worked.

I have until next month to pay it so I can renew my residence.

All I wanted was to do things right. I thought seeking a professional to handle the legal aspects of my business was the right thing to do. I thought I could finally breathe after being treated like a criminal for years in Venezuela, when all I want is to make my silly little figurines in peace.

I need to take care of my babies (cats) and my parents who are still stuck in Venezuela. I only make enough to live + take care of them, and it's become clear that I can't raise this money by work alone.

So please, any help is appreciated. Reblogs, orders, commissions. I'm so incredibly embarrassed to make this post, but I'm desperate. I don't want to be deported. I don't want to be an illegal alien. I don't want to live in constant fear again.

There's some context needed to understand what happened, so here it goes.

In Spain, you need to pay a monthly fee of €300 in order to run a business. This goes to the Social Security.

The fee is mandatory, but the government realized it was unfair to charge it from the beginning to a business that's only starting. So they established a reduction of €240 for new entrepreneurs, for 1 year. After that, they'd slowly raise it.

They also gave benefits to people living in certain areas, especially small towns. The fee reduction extended for 6 extra months with this, but only applied as long as you continued to live there for 4 years.

I lived in a small town for 1 year. Then I moved to the closest small city.

But this accountant guy asked for this 6 month extension in my name without my consent.

So then the government demanded I pay the whole €240 for each month ever since I started my business. I went through all the legal processes to ask them to review this thing but it was impossible. They ignored everything. It didn't matter that I only received the benefit for the 1 year that I would've been given anyway for being a new entrepreneur. It didn't matter that I would never be able to afford to pay this in the 15 days they gave me.

If that wasn't enough, I got sick with covid twice, and missed 4 months of work in total, months I got 0 income because they also won't ensure me until I pay the thing. So those fees were also added to the debt + late fees that continue to grow.

Summary: Basically he promised the government I'd live in a small town for 4 years, and when I moved before then (because I had no idea he had done this) they demanded I pay back ALL the benefits they had granted me in the past year.

please allow my weak jealuc heart to ✨believe✨ that diluc is implying his concern towards a certain acting grand master ♡͙♡͚₍⸉ॢ⸍͕͈ ˕̫ ⸌͔͈⸊ॢ₎♡͚♡͙ because who else is famously stressed and exhausted in mondstadt but jean our beloved? (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧

writing this under a cut because i might spoil it for those who haven’t finished the genshin summer event main story.

this whole limited story quest was a riot, and i find it so endearing (nerdy kind of endearing) that kaveh annotates when he reads even if it’s only for leisure (and i say i’m endeared because i do that sometimes, too, when something in the story or the page resonated with me greatly).

of course i like this quest a lot because once again, my best husband is the highlight of the story hihihi (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु kaveh was my favourite in the quest, but my favourite scene in the entire side event is this:

i love chaotic tighnari a lot ¡¡¡( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و!!! just look at that smug smile.

reuploaded my timely kaveh fanart because i wasn’t happy with the quality earlier, though this also needs some work post-processing wise (i will say it looks closer to how it looks like irl). anyway, happy birthday kaveh, the best husband ✨

sometimes being a rareshipper can be pretty lonely, but also motivational just so u can scratch that rarepair itch for yourself and in the hopes of finding a fellow rarepair shipper.

anyway, here's a wip of said rareship with the photo reference of the pose. i realized while i may have been drawing for so long now, i need a lot of practice when it comes to drawing people interacting with each other.
