demon king laios, who made the world his enemy
Wake up on time. We don't want to be stressed first thing in the morning, right?
Eat breakfast. So you will be able to better focus in class.
Assigned reading and homework. Make sure you are prepared for your classes!! :)
Review your notes. Going through some of your flashcards before class is really helpful.
Check your bag and charge your devices. Ensure you have everything you need: Books, homework, chargers, pens, water...
Listen and pay attention. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by simply paying attention, trust me.
Take notes. My favourite note-taking method is the Cornell method; I can make a separate post on that!! <3
"Quick notes." If you struggle with note-taking, try taking quick and messy notes. You can clean them up once you get home!!
Engage. If you have any questions or don't understand something, make sure to ask!! Most teachers really appreciate students who speak up. :)
No distractions. Turn off your phone, no chatting, you'll be glad...
Finish your assignments as soon as you can. Go home, put on a cosy outfit, have a snack, and get working!! <3
Prepare flash cards. A great way of reviewing your notes, too... :)
Update your Study schedule. Write down any assignment and due dates, reading you must do, upcoming tests, etc...
Clean up your notes. Review them, highlight the important parts, and maybe even make them look cute!! :)
Don't avoid topics/Subjects you dislike. I know it is tempting, but you can't avoid them forever, so you might as well get them done
Goals and Priorities. Keep them realistic and manageable.
Time management. Having a set schedule makes studying less overwhelming; it takes some discipline but is so worth it!! <3
Develop a routine. Figure out what works best for you; I prefer studying in the morning or at night.
No "zero days". Even if you can only do a bit, do it!! NO. ZERO. DAYS.
Remember your goals. Dreams will keep you motivated; remind yourself of what you're working for!! <3
Don't forget about your hobbies. You need to do things that make you happy, so make time for those things!!
Maintain a balanced diet. I know chocolates and junk are tempting, especially when you are busy studying all day, but you're not doing yourself any favours.
Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. 8 Hours. Non-negotiable.
Exercise regularly. Even if it's just a walk, put on some headphones, listen to music, and give yourself a break. <3
Care for your social life. Reach out to your friends, make plans, and keep in touch; a good work-life balance is critical!!
Study dates. Meet up with your friends at a cosy cafe, discuss your work, and have some fun!! Studying doesn't have to be all serious all the time ;)
Silly Pinterest boards. Visualising your goals will help you find motivation!!
Music to set the mood. I have a bunch of playlists on my Spotify that might help!! <3
Cosy sweater and candles. The cosy Rory Gilmore vibes haha...
Getting a coffee before class. A little treat before things get serious... Simple pleasures, you know? :)
Babes, The hiatus is OVER, and I'm finally back!! I got a lot of asks on studying, burnout, and school in general, so I thought, why not start off with a little student guide?? I Hope October has been kind to you, and school hasn't been too overwhelming (though I know it, unfortunately, has been for many of you), and I'm glad to finally be back!! <33
As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!!

Actually the funniest thing to happen in any of the mxtx fandoms is that in svsss, Shang Qinghua never published Shen Jiu's backstory because he didn't want to deal with the discourse, and then irl every other post I've seen about Shen Jiu is some kind of discourse
crying, throwing up, sliding down my the wall dramatically, banging my head on the wall, ripping my hair out, screaming, punching air, rolling in dirt and eating sand angrily because holy damn you haven't seen my man
May I get an angsty but also very very sweet V x Reader oneshot? Like both of them love each other so much but always acknowledging it wouldn't last cause V is literally a serial killer? 👉👈
Ah, a beautiful angst vortex that could swallow us while. Shall we…? ~ DP
V swore he’d never love such a beautiful bird as yourself.
You swore it wouldn’t last, no matter the situation.
Both souls are tethered to the forgotten foundations…
CW / TW :
- Spoilers for V’s Route ( Killer Chat )
- Murder ( mentioned )
- Gore ( mentioned )
- Dead Bodies / Death ( mentioned )
You have been warned… now sit back and relax.
Enjoy.
Oh Gracious Bird.
You stared at V as he came in. His coat, covered in blood and viscera you didn’t need to see OR smell. Copper hung heavy in the air as he slipped the coat off and looked over to greet you.
“Hello Birdie, I hope I wasn’t too long in my endeavors.”
V; ever the kind one, only smiled as he put his coat away and folded his coat to slip into the laundry later ( after a rinse and wash of it ). He immediately sensed you’re uncomfortable aura and frowned slightly as he slid into his spot right next to you.
You shifted a bit away from him, only worrying him even more in the process. Even when you were skittish, you never truly inched away. Possibly even when you needed time alone.
“Are… you alright my dear?”
You jump a bit at his words, looking away with a quiet nod and your arms wrapped around yourself to bring some semblance of comfort… even if it was very little. After all, this was important.
“… You reek of blood.”
“I apologize, I knew I should have gotten changed before I came. I can shower if you’d like…?”
You can feel his gaze on you but you dared not to look back. Only grunting slightly in agreement as you sighed with a shaky breath.
“Why do you do this?”
It reminded V of when you both had made your first call. Those rather tacky responses and his serious questions were amusing to the vigilante’s ears and heart. It made you shake slightly as you faced him properly to search for an answer, something in his eyes.
“Well, you are my partner. I suppose it is only-“
“Why are you still with me? Why do you still keep me knowing that this-“
You pointed to yourself and him in rapid motions, tears pooling I’m your eyes. V was undoubtedly worried now with his deep gaze that shed his full emotional state. Was he… crying?
“This won’t last V. You kill people for fucks sake! I’m just some person who happened to get lost in the crossfire.”
V shifted in his spot, wiping his eyes ( with an odd elegance ) as he looked away to not even face you. He was hurt was all, never mind that he wouldn’t ever show it but… this time was different, wasn’t it?
“I love you. I do, but this is my act alone my dear Bird.”
He looked over at you, his eyes stared deep into yours. It prompted your own tears to fall as well; you did love him, that’s a given. But you didn’t want to get caught in V’s own misdeeds ( even if he deems them justified )… it hurt. Stung. The morbid reality of the situation weighed on his shoulders as he quietly nodded.
“Yet I won’t hurt you. You know this… please, let’s us-“
“Me? What about everyone else? They might be bad people, they might have made mistakes. But I can’t live with the fact knowing that you feed them to animals as if they’re red meat.” You inhale shakily. “I love you too, I really goddamn fucking do. But this has gone too far my sweet…”
“…” V stays silent for a bit, his eyes glossed over as he heard the words leave your mouth…
“I can’t trust that you won’t hurt me.”

Just looked at a blog where the header description said 'sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don't forget them'.
And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.
People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.
Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.
Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.
