so i know it’s pretty popular amongst the zosan fandom to do hockey player/figure skater AUs where zoro is the hockey player and sanji is the figure skater, but i think there’s VASTLY underrated potential in the reverse dynamic, where sanji is an absolutely menace of a hockey player that’s constantly one angry outburst away from getting permabanned from the entire sport, and zoro is a figure skater that is both trying to topple all of world champion skater dracule mihawk’s records while also somehow being mentored by him, a very confusing endeavor for everyone involved.

You Should Get That Checked

AO3

Haven't posted any fic in awhile but this is a fun one.

"What's the hold up?" The man's thumb dipped to the cleft of Sanji's ass and pressed against his skin sending a sharp zing of pain all the way up his spine. "Did you know you have a mole here?" The fuck? Sanji bucked his hips but the grip on his ass was like iron and he barely moved. He was desperate for friction, already leaking, and not sure how much more teasing he could possibly take. The Marimo didn’t seem to care. "It looks weird, you should probably get it checked."

A one night stand points out a concerning mole and now that Sanji has had the damn thing removed he wants to find the man who first spotted it to tell him thank you

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

I was in martial arts for years, and in particular I kinda specialized in working with the younger kids.

The two Big Rules when instructing younger students was- 1. Compliment before Critique 2. Don’t say ‘but’, say ‘now’

Praise kids on what they get right first, especially if they are struggling. Like OP said, kids don’t like to engage with people who make them feel bad. They need encouragement when learning new things.

Number two boils down to this. If you tell a kid a compliment, then say “but you need to fix this”, that ‘but’ completely negates your compliment. It’s gone. It was canceled out like adding a negative to a positive. Using “hey, that punch is looking great, now let’s focus on your stance” doesn’t verbally cancel out the progress they’ve made. It’s like they’ve checked off something on their list of stuff to work on.

Wording can absolutely make or break a child’s motivation and interest.

Honestly I use all of these to teach vet students too. I think people in general respond better to positivity in teaching. Not coddling, but acknowledging when a student got part way to the right answer, or had a good thought process, is something I’ve found keeps students engaged and builds confidence, which encourages them to keep going instead of shutting down and just “getting through” a lab or a rotation

Reading scum villain fics from Shen Jiu's POV as a Yue Qingyuan stan is like gambling

Is the author accurately portraying Shen Jiu's disdain towards Yue Qingyuan, something that will change later on, or do they genuinely hate Yue Qingyuan

They'll have a sentence about YQY and I'll have to be like "...because Shen Jiu is an unreliable narrator right?" "......" "Because he's an unreliable narrator right????"

A piece of writing advice that i will always kick and scream about because it's annoying but it works is: if you ever feel like you're stuck with your writing, go back to the absolute basics. Like, middle school English creative writing exercises for people who have never done a creative writing in their life. do a character creation exercise. list things you're experiencing with your senses. analyse a bit of someone else's writing that you like. write ten first lines off the top of your head. hell, even if you're not feeling stuck with your writing, going back to the fundamentals is very good for you! it really does remind you about the nuts and bolts of the craft. gets the brain unstuck. you can be a bitch about it and groan and wail if you like while you do it, but unfortunately it is very good advice

[concerningwolves]

Another writing tip that makes me unspeakably angry because it's infuriating but it works is that sometimes wordcount limits are Good, Actually. Sure they make you want to commit atrocities but they teach you how to improve readability by trimming excess words & improving clarity, which in turn makes you think hard about the construction of your sentences/phrases. this is an absolutely invaluable skill and i will continue to be mad about it forever probably

"i'm not triggered or upset by or even ideologically opposed to it, i just associate it with something so bad that i can't enjoy it anymore" is such a frustrating relationship to have with a piece of media

Anyone else fuck with individual songs? Who is the artist? I dunno. What album is it from? Shut up. What year was it released? *tim allen grunt* What's the title of the track? Fuck you. But it goes like this: *poorly memorized chorus*

I love that song. Do not ask me anything about it.

[ID: A gif of the OP of Trigun 98. Vash is running through a building being blasted with gunfire with a sandwich stuffed in his mouth. The sandwich falls out of his mouth and he jerks back when people shoot through a window. Then Vash runs forward and catches the sandwich in his mouth, and the gif loops. End ID]
