Monster Hunter By Day, and--Oh, Who're We Kidding, I'm Always Monster Hunting

 


My name is Izanagi Kyo, and I'm a licensed Huntsman, meaning that my job is to help keep Remnant safe from Grimm. Grimm, if you've never seen them (be glad), are big black monsters with bony faces and claws, and glowing red eyes. Conveniently, they don't leave a mess behind when we kill them. My adventure has only just begun. I recently graduated from Shade Academy, got my license, and I ended up being sent to a little town in the kingdom of Mistral to meet someone. When I got there, I met three other hunters, and the town was shortly attacked by wolf-like Grimm called beowolves. 

They were playing my song, so I went out, and the four of us killed the beowolves before they could get to the townsfolk. ^_^ I live for killing Grimm. I'm good at it, I like it, and it has the added bonus of keeping people safe, which is always important. (But mostly I like killing Grimm.) After that bit of exercise, me and my three new companions finally met the person who summoned us, and we found out some of the Grimm not far away were acting strangely, and a few huntsmen had gone missing. After investigating, we found two of the huntsmen, and unfortunately had to deal with a King Taijitu (massive black and white snake with a head on each end.) *shudders* I hate snakes! But we killed it! Now, we're off to Atlas City to investigate more weirdness. (I've made friends! First in a long time. And they're good in a fight, too!) 

How was that, Vela, did that work? Oh, good. Alright, farewell and thanks for the tea!

Vivienne, A Music Lover

  I have wonderful friends and cousins. Every now and then someone sends me a song recommendation, and it turns into me becoming obsessed with an artist for a while. No-one can take the cake from Poets of the Fall for me, but Twenty One Pilots are right up there on my list. One of my favorite songs from them is Guns For Hands. The music video is a good, but simple one, and I found it rather endearing to just see the two band members of TOP with a white background and blue and red duct tape. (Watch the video, you'll see what I mean.)  But the lyrics are really what get me, the whole idea of struggling to sleep, knowing the world is sad and broken, and feeling like there's nothing to fix it. But then, realizing that if nothing else, there are little things we can do. Reach out to those we know, express yourself with art (whatever that looks like for you) and go outside and connect with people. ^_^

Food? What About Food?

Food! Food and snacks and caffeine are really important. As a writer, I tend to forget to eat (I'm working on that, though), but when I'm writing, if I have a snack nearby, I eat without having to think about it. Win-win for me! So I wanted to talk about snacks for Nanowrimo. Everyone has something different they like to munch on as they write. Some people have a container of mnm's, I like to have a bowl or two of skinnypop popcorn, and some like cheese sticks or cheeseits.  There are loads of snacks to choose from, so I suggest something that isn't primarily sugar. Fruit and veggies are good, as well as things like crackers, popcorn, and nuts. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something you can keep on your desk. (So you know, maybe a bowl of popcorn instead of a massive Costco bag haha.) Another aspect of this is meal prep. If you premake meals, you'll be able to get more writing done, since you won't have to spend as much time making dinner, for example...

Mental Health Through the Holidays

Image
A lot of us neurodivergent people struggle with the holidays. As a kid, it was my favorite time of year. I had time away from school, I got presents, and I got to see my family and eat lots of yummy food. As I've grown older, the holiday sparkles have faded and grown dimmer.  There are a thousand different reasons for not enjoying the holidays, but it's not all bad. I'm excited to introduce my nephew, who's not quite 2 years old, to our favorite Christmas movies and teach him to make cookies. I want to see him get excited about presents and seeing family and trying new things.  However, the massive amount of Christmas decorations, the expectations of getting and decorating a tree, putting all the lights up and whatnot, and making sure you have gifts for pretty much everyone you know...it's a lot. It's made me feel a bit like the Grinch. Not angry at the holiday itself, but annoyed by all the decor and overt CHRISTMAS everywhere. As someone with anxiety and depre...
