When a character is assured enough in their own power that they are completely relaxed in dangerous situations??? When that same character becomes tense and uncomfortable in the mundane because they don't have a framework for peace?????? When they help navigate violence for another character and in return that character helps them navigate softness??????????? That's all, your honour

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

I need this quote framed in every room of my house, thanks.

I think that “rise and grind” culture is so irritating to me because a lot of times it’s only framed to be accessible to neurotypical people. Like people whose only obstacle is their own laziness, and not mental illness, or money, or chronic illness.

Not to mention it feeds into the societal concept of “your day was worthless if you weren’t performing at Maximum Productivity™”, so people get into this ‘rise and grind’ mindset of

1. Wake up 2. Drive yourself into the dirt cramming as much “productivity” into your day as possible, possibly even to your own detriment 3. Sleep, rinse, repeat

I heard someone on TikTok the other day literally berating people for, get this,

getting eight hours of sleep.

His explanation was “Eight hours only leaves you with 16 hours to be productive, not to mention eating, showering, cleaning…” as if your only priority in life should be how much money you can make, or how much production you can pump into the Capitalist Machine™. It’s seriously sickening, and it’s harmful to all of us as a society, as well as to the individuals.

You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.

This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.

the saddest feeling ever is when you finish a show because you watched all of the episodes too quickly and you just want to stay inside that world for a little bit longer, but you can’t

“The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it’s definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it ­honestly, and tell it as best you can. I’m not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.”
