To all my artist friends, this one’s for you <3
I really needed this, so I’m reblog going here for others that might need it too
This applies to writing, and any other creative skill too actually. i’ve seen it before, but that was before I had a tumblr, so reblogging for anyone who hasn’t seen this <3
The Sound of Lightning: Chapter 6
Here’s chapter 6 for you all! Thanks so much for all the support so far! This chapter contains smut hehe
Summary: Levi has always known that someday, a day like this might come. A day that will shatter the peace that he has come to know. Peace is a fickle thing, after all, and never lasts. But it is the culmination of a hard earned life, of finding that one human who he chose to spend the rest of his days with, of bringing some actual light into the world instead of away from it, that leads him to this thought: whoever is dumb enough to come after humanity’s strongest pair, bring it the fuck on.
Or, the one where Levi and Mikasa are badass protective parents.

The Sound of Lightning: Chapter 4
Chapter 4 is up! This one is action packed and has angst, which is quite different from my go-to genre of writing. Please let me know your thoughts!

The Sound of Today
This is a one-shot spinoff to my other fanfic, The Sound of Lightning. I think you can definitely read this without reading my main work, though there are some shameless plugs in it hehe! I started this last night and just could not let go of this plot bunny until I finished it!! I hope you all enjoy!
Summary: Lian brings her first boyfriend home for dinner, Levi Just Can’t Even, and Mikasa arguably wins best mom of the year award, depending on perspective.

LOLOLOL I originally wrote one-shit spinoff 😂
The Sound of Lightning: Chapter 3
I posted chapter 3!!!!! It’s much longer than the first two chapters...it also contains smut xD But I just...sometimes I read through this, and I think it looks good, and then other times I read through it and think it’s just trash. I’ve been tweaking it for days now, and I just need to be done with it. Hopefully you all enjoy it and don’t think it’s boring >_<

Okay so that was my fav episode of yj by far!! But like...have any of you thought of Will's employees and what work life is like with him as your boss??? They're probably always wondering who the heck he is all the time?!?!?!
Will: *does 5 million crazy Red Arrow stunts every day like it's nothing*
Employees: ...Where did you train again boss?
Employees: Whoa...did I just see fucking Aquaman on the rooftop?!?!?!?!
Employees: -over drinks- Man my ex-wife left me too, for another guy. You?
Will: ...Um...Lian's mother is very committed to her.......work.........
I’m pretending all the time to be, kinder, stronger, funnier, more sociable than I am. I guess we’re all like that but it just feels so inadequate.
What’s the difference?
I know it sounds flippant but… certain things are fundamentally performative. And other things are so close as makes no difference.
Kindness is performative. Actions are kind, and people are kind by performing those actions. You can’t “pretend” to be kinder than you are, you can only perform kindness or not perform kindness, and choosing to perform kindness is always worthwhile, no matter how much you may second-guess your motivations.
Strength is so many things. It takes strength to pretend a strength you don’t feel. And the way to achieve strength is to exercise it, so long as you do it in enough moderation to not strain or break anything. Being able to affect strength when necessary while being able to put it down again when that in turn is necessary is healthy. Everyone starts weight training with the littlest weights. It’s not fake or pretending to do what you gotta do in any given situation.
Funniness lives in the interlocutor, not in the speaker. It doesn’t matter how funny you think you are (or think you are pretending to be) - that’s not how it’s measured. At what point are you “pretending” to be a musician if the music still gets made? And often what it’s tempting to describe in first person as “pretending” is more accurately described in the third person as “practicing” - which is of course the way you cause things to Be.
Sociability is also performative. Pretending to be sociable is just…being sociable, despite a disinclination towards it. It’s making an effort towards something you value. So long as the effort is not so great that it backfires into resentment, there’s no practical difference.
Qualities or activities or whatever are no less worthy because you have to actively choose to perform them. If anything, the worthiness lies in the act of choosing. It’s not “pretending” - it’s agency.
tl;dr: ain’t nothing wrong with “fake it till you make it.” A plastic spoon* holds just as much soup as a “real” one
* I keep wanting to talk about semantic domains! Artifacts are defined by their utility, whereas living things are defined by their identity. So plastic forks are still forks, but plastic flowers aren’t flowers. So there’s two pep-talk messages to take away from this: (1) for certain things, the distinction between “fake” and “real” isn’t a relevant one so long as they still get the job done, and (2) the purpose of a living thing is to be the thing that it is. The idea of a “useless person” is as semantically nonsensical as the idea of “pretend kindness” (or fake cutlery).
why do character in movies have such a hard time keeping AIs from turning evil oh my god

So these Christian anti-feminist protestors showed up at my school and were just yelling misogynist things at everyone, when this guy suddenly walks up in front of them mid-rant and just starts…. singing opera
Can’t risk it
The duck of creativity. I waited so long for it.
The consequences are too dire to not comply
RTTE SEASON 6 FEELS
Guys I just have so many feels right now about the last season of rtte!!!!!!! GAH like I literally just got into this fandom fully from "oh yeah, httyd is cute..." to INDESCRIBABLE AMOUNTS OF FEELS ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS!!!! I binge-watched EVERYTHING this past month and was so happy that season 6 was coming out so soon, and now it's finally here but I have no one to fangirl with and I've been squeeling and hyperventilating all day!!!! -big breath- And I'm 26 and really shouldn't be so invested in a kids show but I really don't care but I really need someone to fangirl with. GAAAHHHHHH
i’m so done with the way girls in twenties are treated. i’m so done with people who literally create timetable for us. 20- 24 find a guy, 24-26 make him propose to you, 27-29 get married. i’m so done. i’m do not want to get 2 a.m texts from my best friend who is freaking out that she is gonna die alone. i do not want see my 20 years old friend wasting her time on some guys who are not even interested in her. i do not want see us falling for every nice guy who does not look creepy. i do not want to see girls get sad or paranoid just bcos they do not fill in the schedule. you are ok. you should enjoy your life at its fullest and one day you will find 10/10 so do not pursue 6 just because you do not want to be single. it is ok and one day you will find someone. do not split your love with people who does not deserve it. keep it for yourself and when time will come you will know. i know it hurts. i know you wish u could just open part of yourself and release the buzzing love. but not every kind of love is romantic. show it to your family, friends, plants, yourself.
Not a real criticism, just an expansion really, but … it’s not just the timetables we need to get away from, but the goal itself, I think. “One day you will find someone,” sounds comforting, but the reason it doesn’t lay fears to rest is because we are all smart enough to know it’s not necessarily true.
My aunt is over sixty, never married, and never, so far as I am aware, ever even had a great romance. She dated a lot, but never clicked and now seems to have given up. My mentor is over seventy, divorced her asshole husband more than half her life ago and has never found anyone since.
We all know women (and men) like these. And because we know them, we know that “one day you will find someone,” is just … hogwash. Because sometimes you just … don’t. Or sometimes you do, but he turns out to be a cad. Or you do and the universe rips you apart in the most unfair way possible. And because society has us so fixated on finding “our other half” or whatever, we view these women as cautionary tales.
But …
My aunt trains dogs. Her schipperke is the national champion for his breed. She spent so much of her life as a librarian, nurturing the love of books in kids, myself among them. I ride horses because of her, and it’s one of the very few things I do that makes my soul feel at peace.
My mentor is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in her state. She has devoted her life to fighting to ensure that everyone gets a vigorous defense. Because of her countless people have had the opportunity to turn their lives around. Because of her, they’ve had a life to turn around. Because of her, the prosecution and the police in her jurisdiction are forced to behave ethically and adhere to the rule of law. She’s still, even now fighting to abolish the death penalty. It’s because of her that I am pursuing the life I am.
These women’s lives are not nothing. In fact they are a whole lot of something, and it makes my heart hurt that I ever, in my dark 3 am’s, thought of their lives as something to be avoided at all costs.
So love your family, your friends, your pets, your gardens. Love your job or your hobby or your raison d’ etre, whatever it is. Love sunsets and the smell of rain and yourself, and don’t love these as something to do as a placeholder until the buzzing, romantic love comes, but love these as things worth loving all in themselves.
It’s fucking hard some days. The dark 3 am’s still come sometimes. But most days, I am so much more at peace knowing that I am not incomplete or waiting, but that my life, if it ended today, is worth it because of the platonic, familial, friendship love I have shared. And if the other kind does come someday, that’ll be nice, but it won’t make any of the others less. It’ll just be caramel sauce on a sundae–tasty and wonderful, but the sundae was perfect without it too.
I needed this today.
On the flip side, those of us in relationships have our own dark 3ams...not sure if this helps or makes it seem like I'm complaining about something good that I have? But Jesus relationships take so much work, sacrifice and compromising. And when it's good, it's wonderful, but when it's not...you feel like you've just wasted the past x number of years of your life with this person who a lot of the times is your source of your tears and anger. I guess what I'm trying to say is that... relationships are not the be all end all. It's another path to take if you choose to do so that is equally as hard as not being in a relationship. It shouldn't be seen as the perfect goal that solves all problems in life because it really, REALLY isn't.
Cause sometimes I really wish I was single and not bound to someone so I can more easily pursue my dreams. Wanted to go into my master's in Neuroscience...but turned down other opportunities to be in more well known universities in cutting edge labs with fantastic mentors...to be in the same place as my SO...I was never pressured into that decision, but still, I made it cause of that person.
I'm not trying to say one is superior to the other by focusing on the negative parts of relationships. But there are good days AND BAD DAYS that come with it, the same as everything else in life. Maybe we should start thinking of being in a relationship and not being in one as two parallel paths we can choose to walk, both equally as hard but equally as rewarding.
