rp is supposed to be fun, remember
games: i'm doing my casual placements in overwatch like every other season for the free golden weapon. i am currently masters but may end up going for the highest rank before september.

for books, i am doing a re-read on some chapters on tindall shi's america: a narrative history which is a non-fiction book that i had from my previous major. every summer i go through history of us but i think this is one of the best one i have found that sums up things pretty well, albeit some parts require further research.

designspiration.net & www.awwwards.com/websites/ mainly.

I am also staffing a coding resource board - jcink only
omg where? i didnt know >:c mad @ myself

but also more on the topic, designs for me came right from the top of my head and feels like some angel went down from heavens above to give me idea during the dead of the night where i was supposed to be sleeping and not coding. Whenever i ve got no time, i would use photoshop or editing programs to imprint it so i can look at code them later on. Sometimes, commissions help me think of a design bc i think of them more as a 'prompt'. Although, admittedly, these are for times when i want to creative.

i basically have two seasons, it's lazy season (codes i usually let ppl see/share) and creative season (https://codepen.io/vdiesel/pen/xjvVKG codes like this w/c are highly personalized). for skins i have a lot of secret skins i dont think i can or anyone can use due to high personality (only applicable for certain sites) and like complex layouts (pain in the ass 2 transfer).

but also dribbble.com/ is also the moST popular site for site inspo that I underutilize heavily but it's a rly great site with a community of great designers!! (ive yet to make my account yet so i can only view few figures, but if u like it, u'd need an account to view them fully)
i'll dm you! i actually wish there was a good jcink animanga resource too but :shrugemoji: 

also, dribble is so good! i don't know how i didn't see it earlier but holy, that is a godsend.

also i will admit that i sometimes check out old sites like gangnam style / sonder just to see how trends are changing and what we used to do that we don't anymore. it's such a big help.

designspiration.net & www.awwwards.com/websites/ mainly.

I am also staffing a coding resource board - jcink only so that it is constantly forcing me to be involved in looking at, coming across different designs. I think PP also has challenges to help out with that as well and I usually like a good ranking / critique system for motivation. I still need to get used to proboards but still.

On top of that, I also just code things I see in game UI's or movies etc as practice, sometimes they end up doing well, sometimes it's just a mess. Even if I rarely put things on display, I do a lot of practices though, which I always recommend people to do!

I require a base layout if I'm not skinning for myself though, just because my taste is not always same as someone else's and I tend to go experimental a lot when coding.
