Rivals To Lovers Kl Lifeguard Au Anyone????

how to live life like a ghibli film

1. go out in nature more. every studio ghibli film has some aspect of nature intertwined with the storyline. sometimes its hard to get the energy to go outside, but just going out on your deck or opening the window in your room or taking a walk around the block is enough. if you feel like it, go for a hike! go into the woods and look at every flower, and every tree. look at the mushrooms and streams and notice the beauty of them. look at nature like you’ve never seen it before. wake up at 4 and watch the sunset. put plants around your room. realize how beautiful the world is around you. appreciate it. 

2. get a hobby! this step is certainly easier said than done, but its so worth it. struggling with mental illness makes it especially hard to get a hobby, but its very important that you don’t spend the majority of your time on social media. Start small. If you want to start drawing get a coloring book and fill in a picture with beautiful markers! If you want to write find a random prompt online, give yourself 30 minutes and see what you can come up with. Want to try baking? Start with an easy recipe, like chocolate chip cookies, and share them with your family or friends, or just yourself! Try out a bunch of hobbies, and see what you like best. Maybe you like making jewelry or writing poems or creating digital collages or making video edits or decorating your room or riding a bike or sewing or reading. The possibilities are endless, and getting a hobby you enjoy is very important, and fun.

3. start appreciating small things and noticing details. I don’t know how to explain this step, but in studio Ghibli films, small things always stick out. There are beautiful tiny details that make the story so much more magnificent. small details make the studio Ghibli films what they are. maybe on your way to school/work the sky was a really pretty color. Or the tea you made in the morning was perfectly steeped. appreciate small details of life that you don’t normally notice.

4. appreciate food. Pay attention to your food. If you can, try and make/bake your own food! But if you can’t, just be mindful of your food. Try not to eat while you’re on your phone. Dedicate times to just eating. Appreciating the food in front of you. Make yourself the ponyo drink with milk and honey, or ponyo ramen! Make yourself your own blend of tea like the Baron!

5. be kind and help others. Being kind doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, it can be smiling and waving at a baby in a café, or helping your mom finish the dishes, or paying for a friend’s coffee. Small gestures not only put good out into the world, but they also make you feel better. When you can, help others. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, or babysit for your aunt without charging her, or just listen to your friend when they’re going through something and be there for them. In every Ghibli film, the main character is always helping others, and being kind. Try to be like kiki, when she returned the pacifier to the mother who forgot it, or like chizuru from the cat returns, who risks her life to save a cat. Kindness comes in all shapes and forms, so just try your best to do what you can!

6. be your most authentic self. Stay true to who you are. dress how you’d like. Cut your hair like you’ve always wanted to. Stay confident and true to yourself. We all feel insecure sometimes, but we need to remind ourselves that we are great. Don’t try and force yourself to be someone you aren’t. Kiki felt insecure in her abilities as a witch, but she stayed true to herself, and believed in herself, and it paid off. Love and appreciate yourself, just the way you are.

7. (not really a tip but a fun suggestion) start collecting something! This is just an extra step that I wanted to include because I think its nice. But start a collection of things that interest you. It could be anything! Candles, stamps, teacups, antique figurines, 19th century photos, lip balms, books, key chains, flowers, hats. The choices are endless.

a hundred kissing details

whispering ''kiss me'' to your lover

wrapping your arms around your lover’s neck

kisses traveling from nose to lips

breaking the kiss but almost immediately pressing your lips back together

intertwining fingers

kisses that start out gentle but grows more passionate

forehead kisses

running fingers through your lover’s hair

unbuttoning your lover’s shirt, pressed against the wall

surprise kisses, your lover wasn't prepared but responds immediately

a kiss in which “we’re late for work but let’s be later”

grabbing your lover by the shirt or pants, pulling them closer

kissing under the stars

messy kisses, destroying furniture trying to reach the bed

a kiss that isn’t meant to happen but does so anyway

sliding hands down your lover’s chest

cheek kisses

if we get caught [kissing], we’re dead but let’s risk it

hand kisses

exploring each other’s lips

smiling in-between kisses

now-or-never kisses

caressing your lover’s cheek

good night kisses

grabbing your lover by the hand, pulling them into the shower with you

brushing your lips together, lingering for a moment

an accidental kiss between two exes

kisses in which, we’ve already said goodbye, but can’t help stealing one more

this might be our last kiss so let’s make it memorable

kitchen counter make-outs

jumping into your lover’s arms

soft kisses and snuggles in bed

i missed you kisses

a kiss that leaves you breathless

stopping a kiss when it gets too heated

a kiss on the cheek that turns into a kiss on the lips

trailing kisses from your lover’s lips to their neck

“everything is going to be okay“ kisses

kisses that start off passionate but grows more delicate

pulling away from a kiss to look at each other, then smiling as you dive in for another kiss

a kiss to celebrate an engagement

wrapping your legs around your lover’s body as they lift you

a goodbye kiss, both parties unable to let go

''we shouldn’t do this'' but they do so anyway

a swirling reunion kiss

''i’ve had a terrible day at work, just kiss me''

a kiss lasting longer than it should

tending to your lover’s wound, kissing the top of their head, grateful they’re still alive

a goodbye kiss to say that says ''i don’t love you as much as you love me, and i’m setting you free''

spinning your lover into a kiss on the dance floor

kisses in which, i can’t believe this is real, but i love you so much

tucking a strand of hair behind your lover’s ear

tracing your lips against the corner of your lover’s mouth

light kisses scattered across your lover’s face, all the way down to their collar bone

pulling your lover onto your lap, having them straddle your hips

bushing your lips against your lover’s, savoring the moment

''i’m not going to kiss you.'' ''why?'' ''because if i do, i don’t think we’re getting out of bed today.''

kissing your lover’s wound after having bandaged them up

mistletoe kisses

surprising your lover after having spent a couple days or weeks apart, smacking a kiss on their cheek

caressing your lover’s cheek

trying to concentrate on a task, but your lover kisses your neck, making your head spin

dropping your gaze to your lover's lips

shushing your lover as they try to kiss you, telling them tonight is about them, not you

a kiss only meant to last a moment, but when your lips meet, you can’t seem to pull away from each other

leaning into your lover’s touch, their fingers tracing down your stomach, their body pressed against yours

a tender kiss on your lover’s chest

kissing your lover so gently, worried that if you pull away for even just a second, you'll lose them

an accidental kiss that confuses you both, but you're quick to crash your lips back together

a kiss, so consumed by each other, barely enough strength left to breathe

accidentally bumping noses

kissing your lover’s forehead, bending down to meet their lips

a kiss to forgive each other after an argument

standing on your tip-toes, frustrated you can’t reach your lover’s lips

unrequited love that is now requited, feelings revealed with a kiss to prove it

legs wrapped around your lover’s body

pushing your lover toward the bed, laying them down gently

throwing your lover over your shoulder, carrying them over to bed

crashing your lips together during an argument

kisses in which, we just broke up, but can i kiss you one last time?

whispering “i love you” in-between kisses

having your arms pinned above your head, being told to stay quiet, but refusing to, finding the risk of getting caught quite entertaining

smiling in-between kisses

reunion kisses, and ''i thought you were dead''

kisses in which ''i’ll kiss you right now to prove i don’t feel anything for you'' but the kiss proves the opposite

kissing your lover's tears away

pulling away from a kiss, asking your lover to marry you

grabbing hold of your lover’s collar, begging them to kiss you

sliding your hands down your lover’s body, unzipping their zipper

untying your lover’s tie, using it to pull your lover into a kiss

not being able to unbutton your lover’s shirt because their kisses are everywhere

making-out against a wall

''let’s just kiss, just to see what it's like''

hungry kisses and ripped apart clothes

''it’s always been you'' kisses

this is an artistic rendition of my irrational fear of a head that attacks only under the cover of the very loud toilet flush in the scary top floor bathroom at the hospital and how i exited the bathroom when i decided to flush and run as opposed to my normal method of flushing and putting my back to a wall

what brush do you use for pencil like lines

this bad boy https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1713064 (which is only sort of a pencil, but it's what i do most of my lines with)

i also use the two here for clean lines (1st) + colour (2nd) https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1737709

I love the way you render skin and do expressions 😩🤚 can I ask what brushes you use??

Thank you so much!! I mostly use 3 brushes, all CSP:

Cremecheese ID 1932319

I use this brush for almost everything - sketching, lineart, shading.

Default CSP thick paint round mixing brush

I use this for painting backgrounds and laying down blush layers on skin. It has really lovely blend function which is why I use it on my backgrounds.

Default CSP soft airbrush

I use this for environmental lighting effects and blending blush layers. I also use the blend tool for blending blush and skin shadows.

I also use the default CSP hatching gauze cloud brush all the time to add in degrees of texture whenever something seems too flat/plasticy.

Extra mention for a brush I don't use often but really love the utility of:

Muda muda muda ID 1715496

It just has a really great sketch texture, I mostly use it for more intense sfx in my comics tho cos I don't really like rough sketch brushes but if you do this ones v nice.
