Perhaps I’m Really Biased Towards Kaveh, But I Want—demand—him To Participate In A Summer Patch
perhaps i’m really biased towards kaveh, but i want—demand—him to participate in a summer patch because i feel like it just suits his creative nature, and being someone who practices design and art, it only makes sense that he’d find the time (and budget, i guess) to travel around and enrich his knowledge and appreciation even more. yes, i’m probably just biased, which is why i toured most of the simulanka realm with kaveh.
(also, i could’ve cropped the genshin watermark on the photos, but i guess that’s just for another time. i do wish they can do something about that since hsr has an option to hide the game’s logo when taking photos. that said, i do think that between the three current popular hyv games, genshin’s camera option is the most optimal since it captures the scenery the way you last framed it, where as with hsr and zzz, i’d take a few minutes to set up the scene i want to capture just to get the desired composition.)
this summer patch isn’t really something that i was super excited about compared to the previous summer patches, but i really liked how the simulanka world was designed, especially with the origami characters of the forest of blessings! actually, it’s because of the realm itself that i kept on coming back every time i log in because i just like going around there and taking photos. in spite of feeling nonchalant about this, i do feel that sadness i always feel after summer patches because even in games, i am bad with goodbyes (T^T )
natlan patch is tomorrow, and i can already see how busy my week will be as a hyv games enthusiast (not sure if i should be proud of it because gacha is another form of gambling, and i play genshin, hsr, and zzz so what does that make me, right?).

today marks my second month in my new workplace and all i am is glad that i am where i am now in this season. ( ᵕ̤ ‧̫̮ ᵕ̤ )
one of the things i spent so much time, and really enjoyed working on during this entire penacony arc is the sticker book that comes with the dreamscape pass. i love collecting stickers, journalling, and making collages so of course i spent a good amount of time doing my best to collect the stickers for each page when time permits me, and whenever i don’t feel like finishing the backlogs (the number is a ridiculous amount as a somewhat casual hsr player) just so i can curate each page dutifully.
anyway, some of the pages aren’t complete with all the stickers yet, so have some that i’ve completed and truly like a lot!
i’ve only started the most recent trailblaze mission a few mights ago, but ended up falling asleep in the middle of the mission (T^T ) that said, my goal is to finish it before the week ends so i can once again check on my soc med accounts and not spoil myself about how things will unfold.
i finally got myself to clean this account so i can use it as intended - an art dump of sorts. i used to have an art dump on instagram (ig), but as much as i'd like to think that i'm self-assured about my skills, the algorithm and the porn bots my art ig have attracted were a few good reasons to delete it all together. plus the nsfw rules over there confuse me (not that i even have the skill or heart to make and post nsfw output, just to be clear ofc) - like what makes it nsfw and what makes it sfw exactly? what if it exhibits nudity, but not a sensual one?? the last thing i'd ever want is for one of my accounts to be shadowbanned. that, and i was pretty inactive there, too, so it wasn't really that hard to say goodbye to it. it had a good run. 😌
this summer, i do plan to get myself back into making art that's not really related to my work (i'm talking about sample artworks as visual aids), and hopefully, this blog will be more active than what i had bac on ig regardless of the notes it may get or not get.
i haven’t been religiously keeping up with some of the usual shows i diligently kept up during the qorldwide quarantine, but with how efficient my new workplace is with time management for everyone in the faculty, i’ve been able to get back to keeping up with shows that i enjoy watching! here are just a few of them:
tiny house nation (netflix) - while i don’t think i’d be able to live in a tiny house because i love the space, it inspires me to rethink about my spending habits when it comes to clothes, accessories, and even what i would consider as essential that aren’t really essential to my lifestyle if i think hard about it. i can only imagine the dread of plowing through an obscene amount of stuff (which we have a lot now at home sadly) when it’s time to dispose of them. i guess i’m grateful that it helps curb my spending habits while tickling my design-loving brain. (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु
barbecue showdown (netflix) - it’s that one series i like going back to because most of the contestants are likable and each batch of contenders get better every season, and because i like watching people prepae and cook food, which inspires me to try cooking when i have the time and resources. i like learning techniques and cooking terms whenever the hosts or even the contestants get technical. i’m grateful that in spite of it being a netflix series, the people and events are not sensationalized as most reality TV shows are directed. the people in the competition don’t feel like characters, but actual people, and i love barbecue showdown for that!
cara nicole’s youtube channel - it’s not really a tv show, but out of all the videos i watch regularly recently, hers is one of my favourites, and actually something that i enjoy and look forward to watching and listening to because of the concise but meaty video essays she uploads about mindful consumption and sustainability. i’m truly grateful that there’s someone like her who could make me understand topics that i’ve always found confusing even if it has been explained to me several times already.
Daily Gratitude
August 4, 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): What recent movie/tv show are you grateful for?
some of kemeroot’s outdoor baths by the beach featuring different kinds of baths and a couple showers, too! i kind of want to make another outdoor baths area in kemeroot that’s inspired by the visuals of watatsumi island (mermaid set is one of the prettiest furniture sets we have in acnh), but i’ll finish working on cleaning up my island from the influx of flowers last few days because it’s been raining nonstop (almost) in the game.
in the middle of running around kemeroot, i spotted these two chilling at the plaza, and it’s just so precious (TvT )
sumeru will forever be my favourite region (even if the desert exploration was painful), but fontaine has been feeding us well in terms of life truths.
i really like how chevreuse acknowledged people’s opinions on what justice is and should be, then proceeded to put into perspective how justice isn’t always black and white as most people (myself included) thought it to be. this is exchange between veronique and her is probably one of my favourite dialogues in this game so far.
the characters selected in this event event still seemed random to me, but i don’t mind. i still enjoyed the story (and the ayato-chiori banter i didn’t see coming).
i loved linkin park in high school, and i love them even more with their new vocalist (ㅇㅅㅇ❀) i am and might probably always be a sucker for rock bands with female vocalists especially because it’s a high school dream to be part of one but my singing voice is not of the rock kind.

spent an awful lot of time playing animal crossing today that i almost missed my genshin dailies.
anyway, it'll be a while since i'll be able to indulge my time with games since i'm finally hired, and will keep a regular everyday schedule like the one i'm used to (๑･̑◡･̑๑)
i will miss taking my sweet time at home doing whatever i want, but i welcome this new season with openness - an open mind, an open heart, and being open to new learnings and experiences ★彡
(here's to a season of being mindful and present 🪴)
