talking - fic exchange
i joined my first fic exchange a few months ago
im kind of excited? im in a discord server for it, someones explained it as exchanges always kinda getting you out of your comfort zone even if just a little. and it makes sense? it was a bit of a challenge writing so many, and writing more slice of life-ish, but it was fun too even if it was a bit stressful. :D
its a pjo exchange, i might make a post when it gets revealed
Decided to repost this since I messed around with picsart too much
(I dunno what to put on simeon's so yeah uh don't mind that)
Guess it´s nothing I can do, man it´s true, ex´s change

The word of the week is EXCHANGE and I will admit this one is a little weird. I went with the definition of exchange, as an exchange of goods. I have to admit, this is not my favorite six, and sometimes you write something and just go, ya, okay, that’s odd. This is that story. There is something about using the barter system that makes me feel like a peasant in the Middle Ages, a drug dealer…

Hi y’all, today I want to share this magnificent sketch of my Fursona Niigo Wolf and together with his friend Otake ✨🩶🐺💖🐺🧡✨
Well, as you will notice, they two exchanged outfits and they will wonder: Who had that crazy idea? Well, to clear up doubts; the idea was from "Niigo Wolf" (they didn't see that coming, right) and while I'm surprised that Otake brought up the idea of swapping outfits even though he always asked how Niigo Wolf's outfit would fit on him (can't blame him).
Although I must admit that the two of them look very good with the interchanged outfits, now that I mention it, how is it possible that the outfits fit well knowing that Otake's outfit is very big and Niigo Wolf's outfit is very small... Well, I can saying they're in Empty SEKAI there breaks the laws of physics (please don't ask me questions).
Anyway, this amazing sketch was done by my great friend Alex McCheddar, I really appreciate it (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ💖
Well without further ado, I hope you all like them and have a good start to the week (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)👍
(The character Otake belongs to @/arashi_takemoto).
The right mindset for an exchange year abroad
There's no singular correct mindset or way of thinking when it comes to planning and preparing for a year abroad. However, there are some aspects that can make life a little easier so here's what you should consider doing.
Accepting being an obvious foreigner If you're doing a year in a country such as China, then be prepared to be the odd person. Yes, chances are you will get stared at. You may hear "waiguoren"!, especially if you got travelling outside of the more international areas. Yes, you will sometimes feel like an outsider, like you'll never fully integrate. And that's ok. A reality that I had to accept is that whilst I may be welcome to stay here, I will remain an obvious visitor here.
Trying new things An obvious one, but don't just stay in your dorm watching tv-shows all the time. Get out and explore the city. Even if you decide to talk a stroll in the local park, that also counts. Obviously there wil be days when you need to recharge and spend some time by yourself, but going out and leaving your bubble can be the greatest kindness that you show yourself.
Break out of your shell Similar to point #2, but this one can be tricky. Trying new things e.g. trying a new dish at your school canteen vs going to a local restaurant by yourself are a tad different. This one takes time, and even the most outgoing person can struggle with this in a foreign place. Baby steps are the way to go here. If you feel anxious about going to the restaurant, try a cafe in a student/university area first. You can order your drink and if you feel comfortable enough, you can find a spot there and do some reading/studying. In time, you'll feel confident enough to try other places that you may have previously found intimidating. Breaking out of your shell takes time, so don't push yourself too much.
The local customs will endure long after you have left My professors back at my home uni always said "the local way trumps your way", and they were proven right time after time. Certain things are done a certain way, and whether you like it or not they will continue. The best thing to do, is to research in advance and try to adapt to them. Who knows, maybe in time they'll grow on you (aka me almost forgetting how to use a fork after using chopsticks for so long).
It's usually curiosity, not malice Sometimes you will get stared at, or you may be asked odd questions that in your culture would seem bizzare or perhaps a tad offensive e.g. how much do you/your parents earn? are you married? do you have children? Usually it's asked out of curiosity, rather than to cause offense or malice so try to keep that in mind.
Overcome the feeling of temporariness This is an odd one, but the fact that I'm here in China only for a while sometimes gets to me. Like why bother decorating my dorm room if I'll leave in the end? Why buy an extra blanket if I'll have to donate it if it doesn't fit into my suitcase? Forget this mentality. Yes, you're here for only a year, or maybe even half a year. But. This doesn't mean that you should neglect yourself and your living space. If its affordable and if it'll make your life much more easier and comfortable, then get that thing! If you don't have space in your suitcase, then either ship it back home, sell it, give it to a friend or donate it.
Don't forget about your life back home Keep in touch with your friends and family. You don't necessarily need to call them everyday, but do sent a message every once in a while. A simple "good morning!" text can be enough to reassure your parent(s) that everything's ok. Make sure to keep in touch with your home uni academic advisors, and to make sure that you're meeting all the necessary requirements. Mark the application deadline for those summer internships in your calendar, and don't forget to send your auntie that happy birthday message. You have your current life, but please don't neglect your relationships with your loved ones back at home.
Leeds Corn Exchange
Well, I’ve not updated my blog for at least 8 months, shame on me! Anyway, I decided to start using it again. I am going to be location hunting for future photo shoots I have planned for 2015.
I am fortunate to live in the wonderful city of Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Its a diverse place, founded in roman times and is now one of the premiere cities of the United Kingdom.
They are…
