failure anxiety really is psychological torture

[valtsv]

you can't bring yourself to start any task because of the possibility that you'll fail to produce anything of value and end up not only having to confront the fact that you were never capable of doing it, but that you wasted time and energy trying. but every second you don't spend working on it your brain is screaming at you that you're losing valuable time and only increasing the probability of failure.

[valtsv]

and every success you've had in the past does nothing to reduce your anxiety, and in fact only makes it worse, because you feel like you've given other people expectations of you that are impossible to meet, since as far as you're concerned all your previous achievements are the result of chance and not your abilities and skills.

[kvtsuki]

i find it SO funny when ppl act like deku is one of those uwu pacifist protags like steven universe or aang cause like. listen. there is not a single problem deku hasn't solved by hitting it really hard. He got his quirk from all might by throwing his book bag into a villain's eye. he got tdrk to overcome his mental blocks & to like him by punching himself into unconsciousness. he got kouta to like him by punching muscular into unconsciousness. he got both eri AND sir nighteye to like him by punching overhaul into unconsciousness. he got hero killer stain to like him by punching stain into unconsciousness. he got shinsou to tolerate him by punching shinsou into needing medical attention. he got bkg to begrudingly respect him by punching bkg very hard. deku is very kind and compassionate and his main motivation in any given situation is his inherent need to help someone in need but that doesn't cahnge the fact that hes absolutely feral and down to fight at any given moment.

Adidas having Ida’s name in it… Coincidence? I think not (altho it should be Adiidas maybe???)

has this been done yet

[ao3commentoftheday]

If your story has different points of view, is it annoying to switch between them in a single chapter? Thank you!

I do that all the time, so I hope not! lol

seriously, though - as long as the switches are clear and don’t cause confusion you should be fine. I find it helps to use the horizonal rule in between viewpoints to show the flip in perspective. 

Note: don’t use stylistic breaks between viewpoints (or scenes) like a series of asterisks or tildes etc. If someone is using a screen reader, it will read out each symbol that you use. Also using indicators like “Character A’s POV” tend to break up the story and take people out the narrative. Or at least they do for me.

If you’d like to listen to your fic, here are a couple things to get you going:

Voice Dream

https://www.voicedream.com

Voice Dream is one of many services, but this is the one I use. They have several programs - A Writer (text-to-speech proofreading), the Reader (reads what you tell it to), and apparently they just came out with a Scanner. All of their products are made for mobile devices, and they are super helpful! I use the reader literally every single day.

If you have it on your mobile device, you can either go straight to ao3 and select download on the fic page and tell it to send the document in whatever format you prefer to Voice Dream. If you want to read something on, say, ffnet - copy the url of the fic and open another website called FicSave:

http://ficsave.xyz

FicSave is an open source fanfic downloaded, it automatically converts the entire fan fiction you put in into a document you can download or email). It’s open source and the creator keeps it up on donations. As soon as it’s finished converting (usually less than a minute), you can, again, tell your device to open it in Voice Dream.

I can not recommend these enough.

An open-source online fanfiction downloader. Download fanfics as eBooks from various sources online, for free.

”What We’ve Become”

[washornytornado-deactivated2020]

Seriously though, realistic angst is the type of angst that hurts me the most

Like, one dying in the other’s arms is dramatic and all but:

Two people falling out of love

Relationships growing toxic

Never getting closure

Not ending up together

Ending up together even though they’re not happy

Never getting together in the first place and always wondering what could have been

Someone achieving their dreams, but giving up love to do so

Someone finding love, but giving up on their dreams to do so

Reuniting after years apart only for it to be completely different from what they imagined

One watching the other live happily ever after with someone else

Realistic angst, yo

[luno-doodles]

Really liking how this is turning out so far! I wanted to make a high quality render of my OC Flyx for a while now😆 Still very much a WIP though!

[kuso-otaku]

he looks awesome!

[nathaliawoa]

Hey reblog this if you are into my hero academia (BNHA) and creating oc, cause I would love to brainstorm some quirk ideas and ocs with you.

… and here is a gift for all of us.

[a-moop-deactivated20251029]

A commission for @spooksthespookster with Shinsou and their fantastic OC, Haku.

What’s happening in the drawing: Haku will collect the A-1 dormmate’s comfortable possessions and make a pillow fort/den from the items. Haku would occasionally capture-cuddle any who enter the fort trying to repossess their belongings… Aizawa is there to collect blackmail content (for good intentions such as getting the kids to do their chores) 

[ofvisitorsthefairest]

Small physical things that give your characters personality

How they smile

What their “tell” is for lying

Posture

Volume of speech, if they’re verbal

Nervous tics

How much eye contact do they make

In a group conversation, how close do they stand to others? Are they off to the side just listening and occasionally speaking or are they right next to people?

When standing, what do they do with their hands? Talk with their hands, cross their arms, put hands in pockets, prop up against the wall, etc

The sound of their footsteps

Nonverbal greetings: do they wave, nod, hug, glare, punch, high five, something else?

How do they get others’ attention? Raise hand, clear throat, etc

[fineillsignup]

avoiding cultural misunderstandings in fandom: pairing names

In English-speaking fandom, pairing names are pretty much exclusively romantic and/or sexual. In spaces like AO3, romantic and platonic relationships are specifically separated out with the slash versus the ampersand.

In Chinese-speaking fandom and Japanese-speaking fandom, this is not necessarily the case. In particular, with tags on sites for art.

If you see someone tag a pair of siblings, a parent and child, or even just friends, with what appears to be a “pairing name” such as ItaSasu, that does not necessarily mean the tagger intends to indicate romantic/sexual relationship. Rather, tags of this kind are used freely and loosely to simply indicate close interaction.

It gets complicated because of course these pairing tags can intend romantic relationship, but it does not necessarily mean so.

Sometimes people will write something like 寧雛（親向）which would be NejiHina (familial). But not necessarily, again. Artist sekibeing recently tagged a mother’s day picture of Hinata, Boruto and Himawari BoruHima–this is an example of the kind of tagging I’m talking about, since it is quite obvious he is not meaning to imply a sexual realtionship between Boruto and Himawari!

The reason I’m making this post is that sometimes people on the Tumbles ~freak out~ when they see their own work being tagged “wrongly”. I just want to make people aware that there is a possibility of cross-cultural misunderstanding here. If you draw a sibling pair, and someone tags it with the sibling “ship”, it could be that they are from a culture that basically doesn’t distinguish between platonic/familial vs romantic/sexual in ship tags.

People learning to navigate English-speaking fandom deserve patience as they learn the different norms.
