okay i’m really curious about this all of a sudden for no discernible reason so please reblog this post and say in the tags:
1) whether or not you need glasses, and if so whether you’re near-sighted (myopia) or far-sighted (hyperopia)
2) whether or not you have an astigmatism, or any other similar condition that affects the eyeball itself
3) whether or not you have any conditions that affect the eye muscles, like nystagmus
and finally, the subject of my curiosity:
4) whether or not you can unfocus your eyes at will. i don’t mean crossing your eyes by trying to look at the bridge of your own nose/your glasses/etc., i mean intentionally affecting a non-responsive stare where your eyes stop tracking things and stare straight ahead/wherever their most neutral direction is

Actually, I think girls in middle school and high school should still feel comfortable having fuzzy pillows and lava lamps and glitter pens and sequin tops and a colorful wardrobe and whatever else they think is pretty or cool. Maybe we shouldn’t, like, try to beat the personality and life out of the youngsters, neither should we expect them to act like anything other than their actual age.
Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid.
Hermit things that give me serotonin: a compilation
Scar
The way he says “amazing” like “uh-MAYZING”
His mournful laugh when he dies, usually by flying straight into something while in f5 (“nooo-hoo-hoo-hoo!”)
“Oh, you RAPSCALLION!”
Jellie taking his chair so he just crouches next to it as if he’s sitting
His laugh is like an inhale laugh??? It’s weird but really cute
I LOVE watching his timelapses, I just can’t get enough of them (He has great music choice too)
Lore for ALL of his builds
Bdubs
“But first, gotta shreep!”
His borderline insane laugh that just comes out of nowhere
When his voice gets really shy and weird when something overwhelms him (“okay! Okiokioki-”)
Keysmashing with his voice
“HI HAWSIE!!”
He gets SO violent at the flip of a switch it’s so funny
Mentioning his daughters when he builds something that reminds him of them and his voice gets all soft and sweet ❤
The visual gag of instantly stripping to his Rambo outfit anytime something comes up that could even SLIGHTLY warrent it makes me lose my shit
“It’s time for….Redstone with Bdubs!!”
Fuckin IMMEDIATE defense every time his height is mentioned
Spam crouching
Mumbo
You can HEAR the smile in his voice when a redstone goes right
His voice in general is just. Good stuff man
He gets much more upbeat and giggly when he talks to another hermit it’s the best
Feral chaos that is just funnier by his general appearance
Semi related but he’s ironically taught me a lot of fun tricks with stairs in his building videos so props to that
He has no braincell whenever he’s not doing redstone and it shows. This man only has one strength otherwise no thoughts head empty
“I’m chuffed to bits over this one!”
Surprisingly really sassy but only to Iskall, they’re like bickering siblings it’s the best
Serverwide meme, what an icon
Grian
Cold opens that usually start with him doing some mischief
His cackle when he’s watching the carnage of one of his pranks
On the flip side, Grian’s GENUINE laugh??? When you can hear him lean away from the mic because he’s laughing so hard??? GOOD SHIT
“Pesky Bird”
“I did some building off camera” *pans to an entire goddamn build added to his base*
Messing with AFK players
“WHO IS THIS GRAIN CHARACTER???”
His hilarious voice for villagers from element animation is so amazing
*dies abruptly* *moment of silence* *heavy, heavy sigh*
Or, the alternative: *dies abruptly* *extremely high pitched* “WHAT?!”
Acts like a needy boyfriend for Mumbo’s attention
Always talks about his cats in videos
Iskall
“Hallo! :D”
I know I’ve said this for like every hermit but his laugh is SO GOOD
Hermit impressions
“Super, mega, OMEGA, [object] of doom”
LOVES to use English words he enjoys over and over
Names his redstone machines like they’re pets
VERY satisfying timelapses because he just speeds up the sound of placing the blocks instead of playing music
Calling Stress “adorable” and “cute” every time he meets with her
The FUNNIEST skins
Dissolving into giggles to the point where he can’t talk while on call with another hermit (usually Mumbo)
SAVAGE on streams
Recurring bits (”Iskall-MAN”, his plushy, pogskall)
Okay this is getting long so I’ll leave it here but I have many more if y’all are interested ^^
growing up, were you obsessed with the “girl cuts off hair and dresses in boys’ clothes as a disguise and runs away” trope, or are you straight
have any of you not seen geminitay? because i’m willing to show you
do u love her
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
Teen: *gets a job*
“I GOT THE JOB!”
Parents: Well, when I was your age, I already had 5 jobs and was supporting my family
Teen: *gets all A’s*
“I worked really hard!”
Parents: Well, of course you did, this is the expectation, not a celebration.
probably why so many teens take to social media where they can enthusiastically share their interests and achievements and get positive feedback that their parents never gave
A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
This hit hard
I remember once, when I was in my early 20s, I was an afternoon supervisor at my job, and I worked with mostly teenagers, and the one day this one kid, who was like 15, was bored so I suggested he could clean out the fridge. He did and when he was done I said he did a good job.
After that, this kid was cleaning out the fridge at least once a week, and I was like, “why are you always cleaning the fridge?” Like, I didn’t mind, but it seemed odd. And he said, “one time I cleaned the fridge and you said I did a good job. I wanted to make you proud of me again.”
Literally, I changed the entire way I interacted with teenagers after that. I actually got a package of glitter stars and I would stick them on their nametags when they did a good job, and they loved it.
My manager had commented on how hard these kids work and I said, “they’re starved for positive feedback. They go to school all day then come to work all evening and no one appreciates it because it’s expected of them, but they’re still kids. They need positive feedback from adults in their lives.”
Like, everyone likes feeling appreciated. Everyone likes being complimented and having their efforts be noticed. Another coworker (who was a mother of teenage children), hated that I did this, and said they were too old to be rewarded with stickers, but like… it wasn’t about the stickers. The stickers were just a symbol that their effort was noticed and appreciated. I was just lucky that I learned this at a time when I was still young enough to remember what it was like to be a teenager. I was only 2 years out of highschool at that point and highschool is fucking hard. People forget this as they get older, but ask anyone and almost no one would ever want to go back and do it again, but they expect kids to suck it up because they’re young so they should be able to do school full time, plus homework, and work, and maintain a healthy social life, and sleep, and spend time with family, and do chores and help out at home, and worry about college and relationships and everything else, and then just get shit on all the time and treated like they’re lazy and entitled. And then they wonder why teenagers are apathetic.
For a german exam I had to argue against an article that was essentially „kids these days, they don’t care about anything and are constantly on their phones“ and really it was the easiest essay I‘ve ever written.
Teens don’t talk to adults bc adults only ask „so, how‘s school“ to then interrupt them two sentences in. And because they can’t engage in a conversation about buying houses and working in a bank. I would’ve loved to talk about philosophy and politics and history with family the way I did with friends and in class but because I was young no one took what I had to say seriously.
And no, teens aren’t always on their phone. They’re on their phone when they’re bored. You think I‘m on social media when I‘m with my friends? When I‘m talking about something I‘m interested in?
Maybe the reason kids are so distant and always on their phone during family parties and the like is because you‘re failing to engage and include them.
Whoop there it is
When you respect kids, they really respond and learn from you. But if you treat kids like “theyre just a kid, what do they know??” then you’ll never find out.
As a Disneyland Cast Member, I’ll add my own experience onto this –
Very frequently, when I first speak to a child while I’m at work, they’ll kind of withdraw and act uncomfortable and shy. Their parents will then rather frequently tell them to not be shy and try to coax them to talk to me – whenever that happens, I always, without fail, politely dissuade the parents from pressuring them.
“I’m a stranger,” I’ll tell the kid’s parents. “I don’t blame them for not talking to me – if they were anywhere else, they’d have the right idea, to not immediately trust me.”
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen that same kid – simply after hearing their initial reaction being validated, instead of reproached – immediately open up to me after that. I also cannot tell you how many times that child and I would go on to start a friggin’ marathon conversation, and I got to hear all about how great their day was or what their favorite Disney movies were or what rides they liked and didn’t like or how much they like a certain Disney character or song…all from me validating that initial feeling and showing genuine interest in what they had to say.
This isn’t just young children, either. I will always remember being positioned outside the Animation Academy one day and starting up a conversation with a young lady, perhaps 12 or 13, who joined the line with her father a full 25 minutes before the class was supposed to start. Now keep in mind, we do a drawing class every 30 minutes: there was no one else in line at that point, and no one else joined the girl and her father in line for a full fifteen minutes. So I could tell pretty quickly that this girl was very emotionally invested in getting a good spot for the drawing class: a conclusion all the more bolstered by the fact that she had a notebook under her arm. I asked her if she was an artist – she said yes, but seemed uncomfortable at the question, so I skipped even asking her if I could see her work, instead admitting that I myself wasn’t very good at art, but that I’m trying to get better and that I love the history of Disney animation. On the screens around us was video footage of different Disney concept art and animation reels, so I pointed one of them out (for Snow White) and asked if she knew the story behind the making of the movie. Upon confirming that she didn’t, I proceeded to get down on the floor so I could sit next to her and her father and dramatically tell the whole story of how “Uncle Walt” created the first full-length animated motion picture, even though everyone and their mother thought he was an idiot for even trying, and how the film ended up becoming the first Hollywood blockbuster. After the story was over, the girl’s father said that his daughter really wanted to be an animator when she grew up, and she finally felt comfortable enough to open her notebook and show me some of her artwork. It was wonderful! Every sketch had such character and you could tell how much work she put into it! And I could tell how much telling her that – and sharing that moment with her, where we got to connect over something we both really enjoyed – had meant. And after the class was over, she sought me out to show me what she and her father had drawn – and sure enough, hers was great! (Her father’s was too, really. XD)
People, kids and teens included, love sharing what they love and how they feel with others. You just have to give them the chance to show it.
A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
-~-
I feel like I am obliged to add one more thing: don’t ever think that the kids won’t feel your unspoken judgements cause they do!
I felt always like a ‘problem’ in my family, until I was about sixteen, I got this teacher who was litterally the first to tell I was worthy. He changed my life up till this day.
Also how do grown ups imagine how ‘we’ will ever learn to engage in conversations with adults properly if you don’t teach us?
This post is
Everything
I told one of my new coworkers (who is 26) that he was doing really well and that I was proud of him and his progress. I thought he was going to start crying for how quietly he said “really?”.
Positive feedback makes the biggest difference to everything.
i’m extremely lucky that i’ve always gotten positive feedback and proper attention + engagement from my parents.
i can count on one hand the times i’ve gotten it from anyone else.
teenagers are so attached to their phones at school because it’s one of the only things we have all day that makes us feel vaguely alright
This wasn’t from a parent but my girlfriend told me she was proud of me for finishing a fic I worked really really hard on and i fucking cried cause no one really ever told me they were proud of me for something I wanted to do. They said they were proud of me for doing well on schoolwork that I thought was shit cause I put minimal effort into it and wasn’t invested in it. Or they were proud of me for what I had to say about in a class discussion that was required participation.
No one ever told me they were proud of me for my art, or taking a step in transitioning, or anything that I was proud of myself for.
So sometimes it matters what you’re getting praised for, as well.
This. Everything about this.
Lots of people irl call our hobbies and hyperfixations cringe, so when we found someone who wanted to listen it was amazing.
YES. EVERYONE REBLOG THIS.
Everything about this is so, so true and more people (specifically adults) need to know it.
Don’t return ebooks or audiobooks you’ve consumed on Amazon and Audible
Amazon and Audible made it into their policy that you can return ebooks and audiobooks and get a full refund.
They actively promote this, making their book shop into a book lending service, de facto a library you subscribe to. That’s their business plan to encourage subscribtions.
The dirty thing, however, is that Amazon and Audible are making the authors pay for each refunded item. They will detract money, income, royalties, from the authors’ account. They’re not hurting from the refund, the author is.
Look, no-one is saying you’re not allowed to return an item if you’ve read the first 50 pages or listened to the first 45 minutes. Maybe the style is not your thing. Maybe you don’t like the narrator’s voice. Maybe the quality of the writing drops severely after chapter three. Go ahead, if the product is bad, return it.
What I’m talking about is that no one should be able to listen to a ten-hour audiobook or read through nearly an entire novel and still get a refund.
Most of the readers don’t know who’s paying for this business plan. It’s not Amazon and Audible, they’re still keeping your subscription money. It’s the authors.
Spread the word.
Yeah, in all honesty, I would legit rather you pirate my series than do this.
I had someone read and then return the entirety of one of my series last month, and I don’t make enough from my books for that sudden loss of income to not be noticeable. So, I was going ahead going “oh, okay, when Amazon pays out for this month, I will make X amount, which means I can afford Y”, and then in one day, there was a significant drop from someone returning an entire series.
Like, I need to be able to plan ahead when it comes to my income, so honestly, if your plan is to buy and then return my series as a way to get it for free, please just pirate it instead of fucking me about. Or, you know, join my beta/ARC team or wait for me to make the series Pay-What-You-Want on my website. Or, hell, get it from your local library! It’s not like I don’t make it easy to get my books for free/cheap…
Reblogging again because I just woke up to “you have earned negative money so far this month” which is just a super great way to start the month… /s
So as some of you know, I was commissioned by Scott Smajor a few months ago to create this insanely fun painting of the Rivendell Festival!!!
He was absolutely fantastic to work with and we worked together to create this Vanity Fair-photoshoot style Royal Portrait featuring my designs for all 12 rulers. It was painted back in November and it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had working on a job 😁😄💖
My main goal doing this piece was to make sure everyone looks hot as hell confident and fierce! I researched a number of photographers for fashion publications and went through their portfolios to figure out the general poses I thought different characters should have. Adapting everyone’s MC skins in my style was such a fantastic challenge and I loved every second of it!
And now under the cut we have my favourite part: the details!! I spent hours on each person adding jewelry and embroidery and different materials to complete each look. I cannot overstate how much fun this was! Plus the banners are all based off my own banner designs I did a while ago, and peep the faces—they’re all the same designs as my portrait series in a new context :D Feel free to zoom in, I put a lot of work into these 😁⬇️✨
