You need to ignore what everyone else is doing and achieving. – Your life is about breaking your own limits and outgrowing yourself to live YOUR best life. You are not in competition with anyone else; plan to outdo your past, not other people.

Hi! I've always had trouble finishing my stories. Whenever I have an idea, I try to develop it into something and then realize that it's not going anywhere, or that it just seems bland and uninteresting. I always end up with a pile of unfinished half-ideas and this is really discouraging. How can I fix this?

Stop leaving the stories the moment they stop being fun, and finish them instead, even if it’s hard, discouraging work. You’ll learn more from a story you finish, however bad it is, than you will from all the beginnings in the world, however good they are.

I'm at a point in my life where all I hear is "Drawing and writing will not benefit you or your future." Can I get some reassurance from you that it's going to be okay? I really need it.

I do know that anyone who said that to me was wrong. And that drawing and writing save lives. And I’m pretty sure that if you keep on making art, and ignore the people who think they don’t help you and won’t help you, that, yes, it’s going to be okay. 

Good luck.

“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

[tuesdayisfordancing]

I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody: 

zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/ noun

a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).

ISN’T THAT AWESOME??

#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

Person: So you like the bitchy characters?

Me: No.. I like the characters who present themselves as heartless monsters but on the inside they are drowning in their own tears.

But how long does it take on a dragon?

[fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment]

I double checked the maximum horse speeds, and while doing 100 miles in a day is totally possible for fit endurance horses and endurance riders, 40mph is a flat sprint, and a horse and rider just can’t maintain that for more than a couple miles. (What I’m saying is; 100 miles is doable and 40mph is doable, but trying to do a hundred miles at that speed would kill the horse and/or rider).

Think of it this way: There are two kinds of failure. The first comes from never trying out your ideas because you are afraid, or because you are waiting for the perfect time. This kind of failure you can never learn from, and such timidity will destroy you. The second kind comes from a bold and venturesome spirit. If you fail in this way, the hit that you take to your reputation is greatly outweighed by what you learn. Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done.

I want a story about a king whose son is prophesied to kill him so the king is like “whatever what am I supposed to do, kill my own kid wtf is wrong with you” so he just raises him as normal, doesn’t even tell him about the prophecy, and instead of some convoluted twist of events that leads to the king’s murder the son grows up and when the king is very old and dying and in excruciating pain the kid is just like alright I'mma put him out of his misery.

Its so sad when people hate their laugh or their smile, because that means they hate how they look when they’re happy, and the fact that people are self-conscious about their own happiness is heartbreaking to me.
