He was wearing different clothes, not the sleep robe, but one of the multi layered white ones, where the outer layer was sheer lace. It gave the pure white a warmer texture, softening the immaculate purity of it. It was also noticeably loose on him now. The shoulders didn’t lie as smoothly as usual, the material a little slack where muscles would have stretched it out previously. The collar gaped open a little too, showing glimpses of his prominent collarbones.

Lan Zhan didn’t seem aware of how he looked, how tantalizing those glimpses of skin were, how indecently enchanting it was to catch glimpses of naked skin presented so publicly.

“Wow,” Wei Wuxian said numbly. He was completely unable to look away, the urge to go there and press his lips to that sliver of bared skin absurdly powerful.

“It is not so bad,” Lan Zhan said mildly, his fingers resting lightly on the smooth wood of the guqin.

“It really is,” Wei Wuxian said, shocked at the strength of his reaction.

Having someone in your life who thinks you’re interesting enough to talk to every day, knowing that you are worth their time, is honestly one of the best feelings ever.

Intuition is real. Vibes are real. Energy doesn’t lie. Tune in.

[ifshehadwings]

This is actually called thin slicing. Your brain recognizes patterns from very small “slices” of information by comparing them to things you have experienced before. This all happens very quickly on a subconscious level without our conscious mind being involved. So intuition is actually really fast pattern recognition, and it can be very accurate. So yeah, if you have a gut feeling that a person or situation is not good, get the hell out. Your brain knows what’s up. 

[pyrrhiccomedy]

When I was young - because I’ve always been a big skeptical pain in the ass - I thought that when people were talking about interpersonal “energy,” they were on some Gay Ass Shit.

Years later, after spending hundreds of hours reading studies about intuition and neuroscience and pattern recognition and the processing power of the subconscious mind, I realized that that kind of talk - “she has such good energy,” “you need to read the energy of the room,” “I just got some really bad energy off of that guy” - is a convenient shorthand for the lightning-fast, weirdly-accurate, real-as-fuck subconscious processing of the probability of positive or negative social outcomes likely to result from hundreds or thousands of variables. That “energy” isn’t a tangible thing floating around in the air. It’s your brain updating you constantly with information about your situation. Listen to it. Especially if it’s telling you to be nervous or scared. Your brain is very good at recognizing danger. Let the enormous processing power of your subconscious mind protect you. It’s better at spotting patterns than you are. 

“Bad energy” isn’t some hippie shit. It’s your brain setting off a claxon because it knows something’s not right.

Thin slicing is wonderfully helpful, but be aware that if it’s doing its pattern recognition from bad sources, you need to actively override it. We’re raised in a racist society, inundated with racist media, and bombarded with subtly (or unsubtly) racist advice. Thin slicing can save your life, but it’s also the cause behind the unconscious elements of racism (and misogyny/ableism/antisemitism/islamophobia/etc.) that we all suffer from

Trust your instincts, but if your instincts tell you something that seems prejudicial, double check their work.

can i give y’all some genuine life advice? be the kind of friend you want to have. my whole life i’ve wanted friends who go out and take pictures of eachother and stay up late on the phone. i’ve always wanted friendship bracelets and pictures hanging on my walls. and now i have that becuase i became someone who took pictures of my friends and listens to what they have to say and invites them over when they feel sad. be someone you want to be friends with and i promise you others will want to be friends with you too.
