I have to wonder if Rolan ever realizes how far he got. How close he was to Moonrise Towers.

Protected by nothing but a torch.

We have Isobel's blessing, a moonlantern/DollyDollyDolly's blessing, and all he has... is a torch. He's within spitting distance of Moonrise, all by himself, surrounded by burning Shadow Ravens and Vestiges, and he's fine. Ruffled, frustrated, and scared, but alive and able to return to the Last Light Inn on his own.

With a torch.

We're not better than him. We're not more powerful than he is. We're just better equipped and travel in a pack.

Tokyo Revengers who? After this latest chapter, I only know

(watermarked with my Instagram handle)

I'm still processing the absolute bomb drop in Chapter 268 (seriously, WHAT???) and had to whip my rusty editing skills out of the closet to cope with this information. All I know is next Tuesday can't come quick enough.

If all you can manage is to wash one dish, then wash one dish. If all you can manage is to clean one room, then clean one room. If all you can manage is to clear the coffee table, then clear the coffee table. If all you can manage is to write one short paragraph, then write one short paragraph. If all you can manage is a drabble, then write a drabble. If all you can manage is one errand, then do one errand. If all you can manage is 10 minutes of cardio, then do 10 minutes of cardio. If all you can manage is to microwave soup, then microwave soup. If all you can manage is to order a pizza, then order a pizza. If all you can manage is one load of laundry, then do one load of laundry. If all you can manage is to reply to one email, then reply to one email. If all you can manage is a short walk around the yard, then take a short walk around the yard. Just do what you can. And don't compare "your best" to someone else's, or even to "your best" yesterday or five minutes ago. Your best is your best, and it is what it is now. It's always better to do one little thing than it is to do nothing at all.

look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good

[darkandstormyslash]

There was an experiment a professor did. I think it was pottery students. He did an experiment of “quality” vs “quantity”. One half of the class he told; you have to make as many pots as possible. Good pots, bad pots, shitty pots, whatever. The more pots you make, the higher your grade.

The other half of the class were told, “you can make only one pot”. But that pot had to be perfect. The quality had to be high; the highest quality pot would get the best mark.

But when it came to the grading, they noticed something weird.

All the best quality pots were in the ‘quantity’ group.

The guys who were literally churning out pots, trying to make as many as possible, not concentrating on the quality. But every pot they made, made them better at making pots. By the end of the month (I think it was a month) - they had some pretty awesome pots coming out, because they enjoying finding all the ways and all the things they could do to make all their pots. Where as the ‘quality’ guys had spent their time reading up on pots, and technique, and researching and planning; which was all great but they’d had no further practice at actually making pots.

The best way to get really good at something, the only way to be really good at something, is to make lots of shitty attempts at that thing several of which will fail. If all you create are perfect things then you won’t improve, because how can you improve on perfect?

tl:dr MAKE YOUR SHITTY POTS.

[vhsvulpes]

AMEN this goes for anything too!!! drawing, painting, sewing, knitting you name it. Its so much better to just do the thing your working on, shitty or not it takes less of a toll on you to just finish a thing than to worry about fucking it up first time.

[gaelfox]

EVERYBODY MAKE YOUR POTS!

Really needed to hear this 🙏

Be kind to yourself. You can go at your own pace.

pining is 100000% the most important aspect of pre-relationship fic for me. good-natured whole-hearted pining filled with lovelorn gazing and chest aching and fluttering touches, that’s my top priority. i was put on this earth to watch characters suffer over the profundity of their love for another person. unrequited love is why god made me. characters finding out that their feelings are reciprocated after long months/years of suffering is why the universe was assembled from nothingness. amen.

[itsgivingsadd]

Yes. 100% true.

and we were thriving

[brightwanderer]

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

I finally saw World Heroes' Mission in theaters today! I, like many others it seems, absolutely adore Rody Soul. Does anyone else think he radiates strong Nick Wilde energy?

And it's not just the tie. I had that thought in one of the first scenes he was in, and I could not unsee it. (Imagine it though: Midoriya and Rody as the "sly fox, dumb bunny" scene 😄)

Guys it's October 3rd

us Austen fans are always like *wistful sigh* where’s my Mr Darcy? But you wanna know where the fuck he is????? You wanNA FUCKING KNOW? he’s at home. avoiding all social situations, watching gossip girl with Georgiana and probably still recovering that time two weeks ago when the cashier said ‘have a nice day’ and he said ‘no I’m fine thanks’. Where else would he fucking be?

[fujiapplesake]

we love relatable characters in classic novels

[loueeki]

the fact stardew valley almost convinced me to drop out of college and start a farm, only problem is i have no fucking money or i would of probably done it

[a-bright-ray-of-sunshine]

You don't have to do it all right now. Instead of trying to clean your whole room, maybe just try clearing off your desk. Instead of trying to write a whole essay,maybe just try writing a sentence or two. Getting started is almost always the hardest part, and the smallest steps forward will help you reach your goals.
