◢ Sailor Collar Pattern
Many of the female characters in Dangan Ronpa and SDR2 wear sailor collars, so here’s a great patten.

Calm Bottle (aka Glitter Jar)
Goal: Anger management; Decreasing anxiety, fear, etc.; Aggression/anxiety physical release
Supplies
- Container: This is typically made with a glass mason jar, but since I often make these with children I use water bottles with smooth sides.
- One bottle of clear glue (not white glue that dries clear), corn syrup, or glitter glue. I like using regular glue so I don’t have to deal with the hot water since I make these in my office.
- Water: It can be room temperature if you use regular glue but should be hot if glitter glue is used. If the water is not hot enough then the glitter will become clumpy and separate.
- Glitter: I use mostly super fine glitter with a little regular sized. I sometimes add sequins, beads, shells, plastic jewels, etc. Glow in the dark glitter looks really cool if you can find it. Less (or even none) is needed with glitter glue bottles
-Food coloring: This is optional. Only use one drop or it becomes difficult to see the glitter.
- Strong glue or duct tape: This is used to fasten the lid to the container. I like using colored duct tape.
Directions
- Making a Calm Bottle (clear glue or corn syrup): Fill the bottle 3/4 of the way full with water. Then add the glue (or corn syrup) and glitter. The more glue you use, the longer it will take the glitter to fall. I usually use the whole bottle. Add 1 drop of food coloring, if desired, and then glue/tape the lid on.
- Making a Calm Bottle (glitter glue): Instead of clear glue you can use glitter glue. If you go this rout then mix the glitter glue in a bowl with very hot water before adding it to the bottle. If the water is not hot enough then the glue will clump up and not work. You can add 1 drop of food color and additional glitter is desired.
-Using a Calm Bottle: I definitely suggest making this with your client, rather than for them. It is fun to make, they can personalize it, it will mean more to them and they will be much more likely to use it. When your client becomes upset, angry, frustrated, anxious, etc., direct them to shake the bottle vigorously as long as they want as an aggression/anxiety physical release activity. When they are finished they set the bottle down and watch the glitter fall as they use their favorite coping tool and/or deep breathing exercise.
-Other uses: This is a common coping tool used for people who self-harm and is easily adaptable to many clinical issues. I have also used this as a coping tool + timer for kids who are transitioning into sleeping in their own bed or have trouble focusing and are taking long breaks during homework. It is a highly adaptable to numerous therapeutic goals.

I’m trying to do more patterns just for fun! They’re real challenging and frustrating sometimes, but I just wanna get better at them.
Anyway, here’s some sushi.
I took fashion design in high school, and we learned a METRIC FUCKTON about fabrics.

this is my list of games i play when i feel sad or hypomanic
theyre all browser games so u dont need to d/l anything to play
lots of them are p simple and not too taxing so they dont frazzle your brain out any worse, but are still interesting enough to be fun
*Floribular- be a gardener and place flowers in a grid to clear rows of similar flowers, also its super cute
*NeliNurk- like a cross between tetris and bejewelled where you clear tiles by making rectangles with them
*Kavalmaja- maze exploring sort of game with puzzles, also it gives you a randomly generated character name (i got Epixog Treefixer)
*fl0w- youre a little plankton creature and when you eat other smaller plankton creatures, you evolve and get more and more beautiful each time. also dont get eaten by bigger things. youre living under the sea. things are glowy. you are glowy and peaceful
*any of the Eyezmaze games, but especially
Grow Cube- add the right elements at the right time to get them to max out and complete the animation right. little people on an isometric cube. one of the elements is a plate
Grow Valley- add the right elements at the right time to get them to max out and fully advance the civilisation in the valley, also there is a secret ending
Grow ver.2- add the right shapes in the right order so that they… evolve? its little shape creatures in a forest and they power up and stuff its rad
* Folds- a sort of origami game, with really neat looking paper, making nice clean edges
*Interlocked- you know those wooden puzzles that are made out of a bunch of separate parts and you have to twist and slide them to separate the puzzle? its that
*Cat Astro Phi- this is like a retro action adventure game that looks like an old gameboy game. youre an astronaut who sucks at steering your spaceship, and you keep crashing and losing your kitty on alien planets, so you go rescue your kitty
*REDDER- kinda retro adventure exploration game with puzzles. youre an astronaut who crashes on a planet (i think its mars but nobody ever wants to say that for some reason), and your fuel cell splits up into pieces which you have to collect so you can escape. its gets weirdly introspective and eerie its great. its not so happy but its really really good
*William and Sly and the sequel- youre a fox and you go leaping and bounding through a huge forest solving problems and puzzles, and also there are fairies
