Originally I had planned to make a themed room of a celebratory party with all four teams. I made signs for the other three teams, but got distracted and switched out games quickly to link trade Pokémon. Well, I didn't save and they got lost, soooo...
Instead I decided the theme would be what I'm realistically going to be doing when this is all over. More sleep and more work!
I hope everyone had an amazing time. It's been great getting to know a lot of you. Go Bellflowers!
Here's my final cheer! I thought it would be fun to make a collage of (almost) all the drawings I've made in the last two weeks for the finale. I'm so proud of all our bellflowers and I'm so happy about all the people I met along the way. Now all that's left is to take home first place
watching daily streams
cheering and chatting with friends
I had so much fun!
“don’t go yet,” i beg. “never,” the bellflower hums, my fate in her leaves
on may 8th, my mother was admitted to the hospital. this did not come as a shock to me as she’d been incredibly sick for quite some time and if anything, i was relieved that she had finally went as she desperately needed medical attention that i could not provide. the ambulance took off with her about half an hour before tbtwc officially began.
i have spent the last two weeks making art, writing, spectating gaming sessions and trying very hard and failing twice to actually make it to an acnh obstacle course session. my home-life and the pandemic has left me a shell of my former self in some ways and a better person in others but as typical as what i’m about to say is, i am very, very grateful for this event and for all of the work that went into it. before may 8th, it had been so long since i had last written something when i had once been an aspiring writer. while most of what i wrote for this event were haikus, i’m still proud of what i managed to come up with especially the poem that i wrote about my cat lol. the art that i’ve created has shocked me quite a bit as not only did i create a few pieces that i actually like but i did it. i was so certain that my visual team cheer creations would be nothing but ac screenshots but surprisingly, i only submitted one. everything else was art. i’m still definitely not an artist at all but it felt nice to create again. despite any shortcomings, i went into this determined to submit two cheer creations every day as i knew that was the best way that i could help my team. and during the first week, i kept true to my promise and had something new to share each day!
but then my cat almost died.
you may have seen me share a few photos of my kitty from time to time. she’s clingy and my absolute best friend but sadly, she has breathing difficulties, ones that almost killed her twice back in 2019 and again last weekend. it was unexpected as she had been doing so well for so long but with how hot it’s been and humidity being a trigger, i shouldn’t of been so shocked. i’m still in disbelief, honestly. she’s doing better now and is slowly getting back to normal but i’ll always be terrified of it happening again. i guess that’s the bad part of loving someone lol.
this is getting depressing i’m sorry LMAO. my point is, despite how tired i’ve been with all that’s been going on + forcing myself awake so that i can spectate live-streams, this event has helped me through some very trying times and has given me so much that i’m grateful for. i’m grateful for my new frenemy @Veloalthough i think we’ll just be friends after today LOL, @Emolga59 sharing her elmo art with me, @Vrisnem , @Mairmalade and @LaBelleFleur listing me as a spectator even though i rarely ever stayed for a full gaming session, super mario party leading me to discover a new favourite nintendo character of mine ily monty mole, winning @SpaceTokki77 ’s giveaway this was not tbtwc-related but i’m genuinely going to be so happy about and grateful for this for the rest of my life. and plus, the fact that i won a purple collectible is kind of ironic , everyone who shared pet photos with me or on discord, @Mairmalade and @LaBelleFleur for being amazing team leaders and so, so much more.
the last two weeks have been one hell of a ride but i’ve had so much fun and am excited for whatever may come next. i’m also excited to not have to wake up for any live-streams tomorrow LMAO. now if ya’ll will excuse me, i have to go talk myself out of buying super mario party.
Designed a chill out area for red team to relax while the final points are totalled up - as you can see, there are already some gold trophies so another win couldn't hurt.
