I was listening to an art podcast and I heard someone use “creative hibernation” as a term to describe a period of time when your creative energy and flow of ideas is slowing down.

Honestly, it sounds so much better than “art block”. To me, “creative hibernation” sounds less like a negative thing and more like an organic part of the creative process. 

“Art block” sounds very definite. They sound like something you MUST actively fight against to break them down in order to continue. “Hibernation” on the other hand sounds more like a thing that happens every now and then but that will go away on its own when it’s time. It’s a stage of gathering energy for the next creative pursuit. Art block on the other hand is an artificial, mental block that actually just seems to solidify the more you treat it like an obstacle to get around.

All creative people go through this type of slowing down all the time and it is completely alright. I thought I would share this because I think the right kind of mentality is actually one of the most important things of recovering your creative energy.

Now that I’m studying bio, may I just say how fervently I wish my primary association with the words “alpha, beta, omega” was literally anything other than what it is

[andhumanslovedstories]

My nutrition professor was talking about vitamins and said, “the only reason you all even know the words alpha and omega is because of sororities,” and I wanted so badly to raise my hand and be like “if you’re gonna be a dick for some reason, please let me explain to you in depth my immediate connotations for those words”

[birdthany]

I’m in training to become a phlebotomist and at my last class we did blood typing and let me tell you when I walked into the lab to see A/B/O written in massive letters on the whiteboard I felt six years come off my lifespan

[realitycheckbounced]

once I used a phrase alpha and omega of something during a lecture and one of the students giggled so hysterically I *knew* and I looked at her and she looked at me, and let me tell you, this was the most profound moment of horror and understanding I have ever shared with another person

We’re finally posting our pieces from @yoichasinggoldzine​! I’ve compiled the tumblr drabbles plus the zine fic above, and the collection’s up as well so you should be able to see what the other writers contributed soon too ♡♡♡

Number’s Exclusive Interview with Katsuki Yuuri, Japan’s Star Midfielder

SGN: What inspired you to pursue a career as a professional footballer? KY: My parents took me to the U-17 championships in Fukuoka when I was 11. I know people don’t pay as much attention to the juniors, but Victor Nikiforov scored three goals for the Russian side, and it really made me think wow, what would it be like to be that good, someday? SGN: Now you’re playing against your idol! Nikiforov’s one of the senior players for Russia and – KY: We got the same draw, yeah. Group A.
