in the difficult position of do i play the archon quest out of order bc otherwise the cold absolutely won’t let me get odette mats or do i wait about another year or however long it takes me to play all of nod krai to build her

[the-travelling-witch]

hsr releasing three units i wanted back to back after i didn’t have time to play a lot is a most cruel and usual punishment

time for a sugar rush slow it with the cakes guys ㅠㅠ

the genshin cake looks really good (and awww paimon) but do i trust a planarcadia cake…? appreciative of zzz not adding to the sugar rush, though i’d absolutely submit to it if it meant getting cake from marius hehe :3c

suisui’s message was also very sweet, it strengthened my resolve to wait for her banner even though a blond guy is running rn—

also, second bday gift from genshin—

[the-travelling-witch]

Do u ever read a friend’s fic and it’s like holy shit how do you consider me qualified to talk to you?

[wanderbythewayside]

No

Y’all need better self-esteem

[wanderbythewayside]

Alright I have been enabled so I’m gonna say somethings.

Fatalistic sarcasm is a thing, however, it usually hides deep feelings of insecurity, and whether you consciously recognize this or not, it validates them. Seriously, I used to constantly make jokes about how other people’s work was better than mine, and it did nothing for my self-esteem, it was a tool to deflect from my own feelings of inferiority and it actively worked against me thinking critically about my own and other people’s work. If it was a joke I could put myself down instead of analyzing why someone’s work was better and trying to incorporate that into my own

As someone who took creative writing courses I was constantly surrounded by other brilliant people, if I hung my head in shame every time I read something as good or better than mine I never would have lifted it. 

As someone who has watched a lot of writers with very good idea’s crash and burn I mean it when I say you either develop a healthy sense of respect for your own work or you stop writing. 

There’s three things I really wish more people consider

1. Do you think their work is better because it’s a different style, one that you like? There’s an element to ‘the grass is greener on the other side’, I have seen people work in some amazing styles that I wished to god I could replicate, some I managed, some I never did, but there’s nothing wrong with either. having a different style Is Not the same as having a bad style, each has their own strengths and you can admire one without putting yours down

2. Knowing someone who is a better writer is a blessing and if they knew you were using their work to bring yourself down they would not be happy, mooch off that friend, analyze their work, ask them to edit your shit, as long as you’re not annoying them be shameless about it. the best thing creative writing did for me was give me the confidence to ask people to critic my work and shamelessly better each other for that sharing 

3. People need to normalize being confident in their work, the quality of your work has literally nothing to do with your worth as a person, the quality of your work has nothing to do with your worth as a writer. You can write something really shitty and the only thing I’d say to you is that your trying and I respect you for that

this is true for art too btw

not to unleash my “childe is connected to the third descender” psychosis on main today but why does the stellar conduct enabled by the stellar linchpin create a polestar field with a very familiar star in the centre…

it looks like the tip of childe’s bow, the name of which is polar star,, and we know the stellar linchpins are also related to the third descender in some form like the gnoses,, i will throw myself out the window—
