Hiya and Heya are very similar twins in appearance and friendliness except one you can sit next to in silence scrolling through something on your phone or getting lost in your thoughts, just enjoying each other's company, and the other has hugged you from behind, is planning to ramble endlessly at you, and while they are not currently bouncing off the walls, they are definitely not apposed to the idea.
Ps: I love both of them so much
Hey look I drew a thing I'm actually proud of! I can take constructive criticism but I take it best with a side of compliments XD.
Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
I'm normally a chronic lurker but with the release of the vengeance saga and all that happened in Six Hundred Strike I just wanted to mention the headcannon/au that's lurked in my head since the end of the wisdom saga.
It's the idea that Athena really died at the end of God Games but that since she's a being of pure power, Odysseus and Telemachus became like her successors and inherited her Devine power and potential. I didn't think anything that fit into that idea in any way would happen but even though it's not cannon my first thought watching six hundred strike was of this little idea in the back of my head lol.

Definately gonna do this for my characters to get inside their heads!!
So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.) Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.
If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results:
What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory)
What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.)
Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.)
What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)
You can win this!

Character who owns a magic shop but both doesn't believe in magic and doesn't know they're magic. They just think they're a really convincing and lucky scam artist.
^that makes me sound way cooler than I actually am, I'm just inconsistent and hardly interact with things XD. She/Her, any version of my Username is fine.
