I have had a lot of evil people say to me that nothing taste as good as skinny feels and every time im like no im pretty sure food tastes really super good actually

one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.

DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.

One of my college professors used to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.”  I didn’t understand that for years because I didn’t do anything poorly, I couldn’t do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly… because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.

someone please hit me over the head with this post every day for like the next week thanks. a mention, a reblog with text, a message, something.

You must understand that perfectionism isn’t striving for excellence, it’s a crippling fear of being flawed and therefore worth abandonment or punishment. It’s a kind of psychological avoidance. You’re avoiding fear and failure , not embracing the thing you want to do bc if it was about the thing you want to do you’d be fine with partial victory.

I spent an hour looking at a screencap I took from Act of Grace and figured I should draw it for many hours instead. My first time trying to work with his beard I’m fairly pleased with it. *marge voice* I just think he’s neat.

HIS FACE IN THIS SCENE. THE PANIC SETTING IN AT THE THOUGHT OF STEDE DYING. THE DESPERATION

If people are sad about The Wizard Facism game coming from someone you used to look up to and admire, may I suggest an author whose books are filled with nuanced characters and strong, dynamic women?

Tamora Pierce has been writing since the 80’s and has two worlds of magic and fantasy and bonus!!! Isn’t a transphobic POS.

[daja-the-hypnokitten]

This is what she added on FB for pride month this year (2025)

I love Tammy for being so understanding and supportive, and y'all should read her stuff!!

(yes. My screen name is a *direct* reference to Daja-the-Tammy-Character. Picked before I'd entirely processed being queer myself. Go figure.)

Fanfiction is cool because you get to learn what other people's parents taught them the hymen is like

[liarsblade]

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

[the-littlest-goblin]

the thing is I am pro-rpf on principle, but I do think you should keep it away from the actual people you're shipping. but it is NOT out of concern for their comfort (insert pete wentz bank account post), it's for the same reason that like animal behaviorists and field biologists and such try to stay out of view when they're observing animals in the wild. don't tip them off it's gonna to skew the results of my study.

Ocean date

[loontattoo]

see unfortunately I have this condition where if I am not explicitly told that I am a part of the ingroup then I will assume I must be part of the outgroup

[merryfinches]

🎶 You see I'd like to share my life with you

And show you things I've seen,

Places that I'm going to

Places where I've been

To have you there beside me

To never be alone

And all the time that you're with me,

We will be at home 🎶

I started this before The Cancellation Announcement, Part II, and it’s been hard to finish, but it’s time to send it on its way. IDK what’s going on with the lighting, don’t ask me 😊 💕 Anyway, they’re happy, Stede is telling a story, and Ed is listening and thinking about how he’s going to marry this guy soon 💕💕💕

Tumblr is gonna eat all the detail, so clicky click to see it better please 🥹💜

i wasn’t online when ofmd was airing what’s some bts, panel/interview, general info i might’ve missed?

[stedesparasol]

This blog is not currently active but is a fantastic and extensive archive of most of the bts (less so interviews, but lots of photos and videos from set of the actors, costumes, props, etc. etc.)

Samba's bts videos of season 2 are also a wonderful labour of love, the mermaid one linked above being a personal favourite and essential viewing imo. (I also can't find a central source for these but Samba's instagram has a lot of outtakes/bloopers from season 2 that he's a real hero for sharing, so I'd recommend scrolling back through his insta feed and checking those out.)

Can't forget Wee John Wednesdays, Kristian's instagram lives with various cast members where they answer fan questions! They should all be available on Kristian's instagram, but some of them are on youtube which makes for easier viewing imo.

And finally, I've gotta link David's bsky thread, where he begins a hypothetical season 3 (written off the cuff so don't take it too seriously but it's a ton of fun and was crazy to watch him post in real-time). There's also a fan-made animatic playing it out!

[xoxoemynn]

Have to give a shout out to the Rhys and Taika lie detector test

Also Leslie gifted us with this and it always brings me so much joy to watch (Tumblr is making it look weird when it's embedded but trust me, you're going to want to click.)

[the-quasar-hero]

We all got that one mutual that be going through the most treacherous situations a person could endure and then posting a few minutes later about why such and such should get fucked through a concrete wall.

[the-quasar-hero]

Mutual: my situationship partner just got caught in a tornado at a broken glass factory where they were cheating on me with my landlord who just increased my rent by 6000% and my pet marmot has a disease so rare they’re naming it after him and all my bones are becoming apricot jelly which I’m allergic to.

Same mutual 16 minutes later: Do you think Ronald McDonald and the Burger King ever explored each other’s bodies?
