in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.
the fact that we only have āherculean taskā and āsisyphean taskā feels so limiting. so hereās a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know youāre going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW wonāt listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.
Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.
Odyssean task: youāll complete it but itāll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures
me forcing myself to do things that make me feel better
sorry i didnāt text back or post for two months i was busy dramatically thinking about my writing instead of actually writing
Well played Merriam-Webster.

Like to charge, reblog to cast.
That's because this is Silmarillion
A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, heās just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because itās framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. Itās just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When theyāre out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell heās being punished because itās in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isnāt the same contempt afterwards Iāve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said āSorry Ellieā and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
The psych nerds found out ages ago that punishments that make the child think for a few minutes (about one minute or year of age until they're tweens) is much more helpful to develope social intelligence and understanding than punishments which prevents thinking, like the ones that involve pain. In fact, corporal punishment encouraged lying, extreme reactions, violent outbursts, go figure, they don't trust you.
This is all really fucking serious and important and I'm mainly reblogging for that, because this correct mentality needs to be spread around more, but I'm also reblogging because I absolutely lost it at the child who dreads having to wear the normal blue hat of shame.
Meet the pink empusa mantis, Empusa pennata, gracefully hidden in Spainās wild landscapes. With its delicate pink color and leaf like features, it embodies mystery, elegance, and natural beauty, seamlessly blending into its surroundings. Its alien like appearance adds to the wonder of natureās creationšāØ

FACTS š
We are here to live joyously and freely and experience all that this world has to offer that calls to us. We are here to thrive.
We are NOT here to produce some meaningless product and slave away our physical and mental capabilities for little to no reward. We are NOT here to struggle to survive.
love when a mother asks if they have ever done anything to hurt you. ma'am, you will literally never be ready to have this conversation
what therapy do you think we can afford. what truths do you think you can survive
everyone clearly has a super normal relationship with their mother
no, i dont lose hyperfixations. theyre just moved to a different, slightly less used, shelf in my brain.
And then one thing happens and they move back to the front shelf of my brain
sometimes I reach in just to take a little something, maybe to show someone, and then the whole shelf collapses on my head
