HAPPY NEW YEARS

Happy New Years everybody from the best and superior time zone of the East Coast. I hope you all had a lovely New Years Eve into New Years Day and I hope you all have a great start to your year.

Normally I never do New Years resolutions, however this year I am. See I actually wanna do things this year and while I literally have never made resolutions for New Years, this year I thought "Hm this would be a good idea" and so here I am.

This year I want to: Work out and get muscle (especially my arms and back), get back into streaming and doing YouTube (seriously its been an entire YEAR since I last streamed), make more friends and a new friend group, learn to play hockey and finally fill out my Pokémon binder (theres not much left to fill anyway but still).

Whether you do resolutions for New Years or not, bettering yourself during this new year is always a good thing to do. With that being said I wish you all a Happy New Years and a good night.

Every adventure requires a first step.

Ace Trappola x Yuu: New Year’s Resolutions

Happy New Year’s Eve! Hope your resolutions came true this year and that your future resolutions also come true! 

Hope you enjoy!

SUMMARY: The Heartslabyul boys stay up past 12 to celebrate New Years. They discuss their success with their resolutions this year. Yuu wants Crocs. Ace seems to have something else in mind.

"My resolution was to get all over 80 percent!" Deuce proclaimed. Cater casually took the report card he left on the table. 

"Hehe, you only got two subjects over 80 though…" Cater grinned without pity. 

"Still, an improvement." Riddle nodded. He sounded almost proud. After all, he had been the one to tutor the two first years in his free time. "Thank you, dorm head!" Deuce beamed. "What about you, Ace?" He turned his gaze to the other first year lazing on the lounge. 

"Hm? What?" Ace discreetly shoved his report card under the couch cushion. Everyone definitely noticed. 

"Ace..." Trey chuckled. "Trey!" He hissed back. "Hand it over." Riddle's eyes narrowed as he put down his tea cup. 

"Uh! Calm down, everyone." Yuu spoke up quickly. "Yeah, he probably failed at everything dazo!" Grim cackled, gorging himself on more tarts. "Not the egg tarts!" Deuce rushed to protect all the egg tarts. "I didn't fail! You barely made it, thanks to Yuu!" Ace retorted. 

"Yeah, you're just jealous you don't have my henchman, who's so smart dazo!" Grim sneered. "I think I'll just take that as a compliment." He laughed. "Hmph, we'll see." Ace huffed, his eyes followed the unofficial 'Ramshackle' prefect as they negotiated for one of Deuce's egg tarts.

"What was your resolution, Ace?" Trey hummed. "Hmm…" Ace made a show of being deep in thought before snapping his fingers. "Not telling." He grinned. 

"Aw! I was so excited. My resolution was to post a hundred photos on Magicam!" Cater exclaimed. "I'm sure you've already achieved that with how much I've seen you snap photos…" Riddle raised an eyebrow. "But! I have to pick and choose a lot of those to get the best ones to post! It's way harder than you think!" He pouted. 

"My resolution was to get better at cooking." Trey explained. "I took the Masterchef course so, I'd say I've definitely accomplished it." 

"See, why don't you all take Trey as an example?" Riddle huffed. "Of course! Clover is a wonderful role model!" Deuce quickly agreed. 

"Oh, please. What was your resolution, dorm head?" Ace rolled his eyes. "...it was…ahem, to have more fun." Riddle said, embarrassed. "And did you?" Yuu asked curiously. "Of course, ever since…then, I've been having lots of fun with all of you." He replied earnestly. "Aw, how sweet! You're so cute!" Cater squealed. 

"Stop squeezing me." Riddle yawned, weakly pushing away Cater. "I'm so tired…but it's almost 12…" Deuce nearly leaned against Ace's shoulder before shaking his head, snapping out of his stupor. "It's way past all of your bedtimes, you need to brush your teeth and immediately get to bed after this, alright?" Trey instructed them. 

"You're not my dad." 

"Well, mine was to buy a pair of Crocs…but I don't know if those exist in Twisted Wonderland." Yuu sheepishly admitted, "Definitely haven't found any yet. So, I guess I failed mine." 

"Fuyga, I want to eat tons of food for my resolution dazo!"

"You already do that, Grim…" Yuu muttered. "The countdown is starting!" Cater exclaimed, his phone lighting up. "Ah, finally!" Deuce gasped, fully awakened. They rushed outside into the Heartslabyul garden. Outside, there were several other Heartslabyul students waiting and several more looking out their room windows. 

10, 9, 8…

"I'm so excited dazo!" Grim jittered and looped around their legs. "Ah!" Ace shouted. "Stop moving around so much!" Yuu scolded Grim as he caught Ace. The monster didn't respond, dashing between the other's legs. 

"Sorry 'bout that." He helped stabilize Ace. 

"Screw it."

"Huh?"

7, 6, 5…

Ace grabbed him by the shirt. "Ace?!" He gasped.

4, 3, 2…

He pushed forward, his lips meeting his. Yuu could taste the flavour of the cherry tart he had seen Ace eating earlier. Ace let go with a smirk, "Completed."

1.

Cheers erupted around them as midnight struck. Yuu's face was flushed in the firework's light. "I- Um. Ar-Are we dating now or something? Uh, oh wow." He spluttered. "If you want." Ace winked. He was trying to play cool but he was definitely freaking out on the inside. 

"Ah…is it too late to buy Crocs?"

"Stupid, I'll find you some Crocs. Kiss me back now." Ace groaned. Yuu complied as the others cheered around them. 

AO3: HERE If you see it posted anywhere or by anyone else, it's not me.

My New Years resolutions that I keep adding to as the month goes on:

Be more organized. Make sure my desk and areas are clean and manageable.

Get out and interact with people more/go to more events and socialize around campus. Hopefully this will help with my increasing anxiety.

Watch more scary movies to build up my nerves.

Interact more with the fan bases I'm a part of (I think I mentioned this one in my introduction post.)

Finish the three fanfictions I started last year and then ghosted. There is no reason that I shouldn't be able to have them all done by the end of the year.

On a similar note, make sure I reply to every comment instead of doing the equivalent of cowering in the corner until they go away. They took the time to say how much they liked my poorly written work, so the least I can do is thank them for their time.

I'm writing this down so hopefully I can hold myself accountable when I eventually start to slip.

'Resolution'

#new year #new hope

Better than anything, i've ever had - ZS

🌞

I think my new years resolution will be to get 100,000 minutes of music for my Spotify wrapped. Approximately 4.6 hours a day. Not impossible, just difficult. I hope this’ll get me more musically diverse. So if you have any suggestions to some artist feel free to drop them. Have a safe new years everyone.

a doodle a day 2025- March!

This was an INCREDIBLE month- so making this was a tone of fun to look back on

I'm also late posting again... so you can peak at April's doodles 🤭

A doodle a day 2025- February

already 2 months in and haven't missed a day yet! Athough the post is a day late as I forgot It was already March (so catch a sneak peak of that doodle!)

A doodle a day 2025- January!

I set my new years resolution to get back into art (l'm still facing burn out from the GCSEs I swear) and though this would be a fun way to document my year! each doodle has something to do with my day :)

New year, new me. Time to cut the ties that bind and become the bad bitch I was meant to be. How? I have no idea. But that's where the fun is, isn't it?

The new year feels like a broken clock that speeds up when you want the world to slow down. It doesn't care how heavy your heart is or how you fail to catch the light with your flimsy hands, it just approaches whether you're ready or not.

It spins forward and we spin with it and it sometimes feels a little unnerving, how evrything keeps moving while you’re standing there counting how many breaths you have left. But it's also comforting, It’s like a little nudge saying hey by the way, you can hit reset whenever you want. and you can, there's no universal default start date, your beginning can be when ever you want it to be. Maybe your new year starts when the winter months are long gone and the flowers are in bloom, maybe you begin when the sun baths the ground with new life and the glow of it all makes everything feel easier.

Maybe this year you don't think about beginnings or endings but just let yourself enjoy the middle. Time doesn't care when you start or how, it will push you along regardless. This year will be what it'll be, things from the last year will be carried along and some left behind, we just have to have hope that it'll kind.

Each year I have a new resolution and I can't help but have another. For the past four years it was to have enough food to eat, for a bed to sleep on instead of the hard floor, for my mother( where ever she may be) to be okay. This year I want to feel like a bird let out a cage, I want to shed the apathy from me, I want to peel back a layer and expose myself to all sorts of possibilities, I want to feel the heat of it on new skin. I want to live, not just survive, here's to 2025.

are you going to do it in 2025?

anything that you focus your mind onto is achievable because you are capable of anything!

so plan for this year. think of the things that you want to do, that you need to do, that will help you become the highest version of yourself. do the things without being affected by being lazy for just a day! you are more than your mood!

this is your era. 2025 is going to be your year. so act like it. make your younger self proud.

don’t do the same things year after year because if you put in the effort, you WILL see results. there isn’t anything stopping you. so get after it.

let 2025 be the year that you actually believe this. sending good vibes and positivity your way <3
