can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

the whole mutual thing is really overhyped on this site. sometimes interests don’t match up and that’s the only reason why there isn’t a mutual following. if you’re a regular in my inbox or my notifications, i have visited your blog before. if i didn’t want you around for any reason, you would be blocked. so yeah. you can spam my notes and/or talk with me (and possibly become my friend) even if i’m not following you back. no worries.

This is very true. Like being a mutual is cool and all, but I enjoy people who just regularly Like or Reblog or Reply to my posts! I’m happy you’re here! I am very selective about which blogs I follow AND how many because otherwise it takes me too long to browse my dash and I compulsively want to see EVERYTHING on my dash, so it’s better for me to be choosy, and that’s not a reflection on anyone. I appreciate my friends who follow me even if I don’t follow them back!

One evening, in the sky, a message appeared: “In 24 hours, a billionaire will die.” Everyone everywhere on Earth could see it, in every language. Nobody could explain it. The next day, one of the richest men passed away. “In 24 hours, 2 billionaires…”

Death Note if Light wasn’t such a fuckin loser with a cop for a dad and his head up his ass

step one to overcoming social anxiety is to realize that most people kind of suck and their opinion of you is literally worthless

[kragehund-est]

step two is to realize that the people who don't suck are actually pretty cool with whatever weird stuff you say

my existentialism professor once showed us this meme and then said softly “reintarnation” and started laughing for about 5 minutes straight but he was laughing so softly we thought he was crying and didn’t know what to do about it

Links to Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham's own posts on drift compatibility and drifting

Drift compatibility is psychological, not genetic

The better you know someone, the more likely you are to be drift compatible

Drift compatibility is potential, not fate

Drift compatibility can be a choice

Friendship is the foundation of drift compatibility

The drift requires trust

Trust is fundamental; also drift compatibility can be determined with anything that tests how well you can anticipate each others' moves

That even includes multiplayer video games

Many cadets wash out during Pons training when secrets come out in the drift and shatter their relationships

A lot of pilots get messed up by flinching over sexual thoughts

Trying to avoid thoughts just makes them worse

Not everything you see in the drift is always real; also the way to deal with thoughts is just let them flow by

Pilots communicate through "headspace"

Illustration of a conversation in headspace

First drifts can be very confusing, because partners don't understand each others' minds very well yet

The drift exposes pilots to each others' raw, unfiltered thoughts

Raleigh knew what Yancy was going to say

The drift doesn't let you read your partner's mind like a database, and you may not necessarily understand what you see. Also when Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift he means he's calm and stable.

Pentecost gained this calmness through meditation

Trying to block your partner from your mind will make you lose control of the Jaeger

Pilots who fall below 90% sync will be in trouble

General information plus info on RABITs

You can chase your partner's RABIT

Another post confirming you can chase your partner's RABIT

More RABIT info

Travis Beacham defines ghost drifting

Partners' personalities can rub off on each other

Neural overload doesn't hit you all at once; it accumulates

The time a pilot can go solo varies, and it's a steep curve from fine to dead

More info on solo piloting

Being high in the drift probably makes it harder to avoid chasing the RABIT

Ideal way of engaging in a fandom is to have your small trusted cohort of mutuals and a huge backlog of fanart from blogs that haven’t been updated in 5+ years like you’re in the ruins of a once thriving and beautiful city.
