#Accomplishing big goals

Breaking Down Goals

Breaking down your goals into more manageable tasks creates the flexibility to adjust as needed and brings clarity to the goals. When seen from the perspective of a step by step process goals are seen not as daunting behemoths to be gazed on in wonder but as complex things that can be accomplished through diligence and careful planning. This makes the process of achieving a larger goal more…

Happy fix-it AU where Padme leaves Anakin anyway because she realizes how bad he is for her, and she ends up retiring because she REALLY doesn't want to be a Senator anymore (it was also maybe encouraged by her Queen after her secret marriage to a Jedi was discovered) and she goes back to Naboo to be with her family. She's left behind her responsibilities but she doesn't know what to do now, she's just... adrift, sort-of in limbo and mourning her relationship with Anakin. She has to keep convincing herself not to go back to him because she KNOWS she doesn't want that anymore, she KNOWS she doesn't want to be the person she was with him again, but the thrill of the secret marriage to someone who was so passionate about being with her is also sort-of like a drug.

Her parents both offer to let her come help them in their respective jobs, but she doesn't really have the energy for that right now. She DOES like helping Sola with her nieces because their energy and innocence seems to be a balm for her heart. One day, Sola asks if Padme can take the kids to a local festival in Theed one day while she and her husband go do something else, and Padme agrees. The girls are old enough and Theed is safe enough that they can wander off on their own away from Padme as long as they know not to go TOO far and come back to her after a little while. As she peruses the different artwork on her own, one artist's work stands to her more than anyone else's, it just hits at the core of her and she's not even sure why. She stands in front of a painting of a bird in flight for what seems like hours, though it can't be more than a minute or two, before the artist himself comes over to speak to her.

He addresses her as Senator Amidala, and she quickly tells him that she's not a Senator anymore and she doesn't really want to go by the name Amidala either, she prefers just Padme these days. He agrees, and something about him, maybe his eyes, seems familiar but she can't quite put her finger on it. They talk about his art for a while and everything he says about his inspiration feels like it's speaking directly to her. Eventually, Pooja and Ryoo come up to her and start pulling at her hands, demanding that she come see something with them. Before she leaves, she finally realizes she didn't even know his name and asks him.

It's Palo. The first boy she'd ever loved. The last time she'd seen him she'd been twelve in the Legislative Youth Program. She knew he'd left politics to become an artist instead, but she'd never actually seen any of his art before or ever tried to get back in contact with him. Now she wishes she had. Pooja and Ryoo are still pulling her away so she doesn't have time to really get over her shock at this revelation before she has to leave him behind and someone else comes up to ask him a question in her place.

He shows up at her parents' door the next day with the painting of the bird she'd so adored, and offers it to her as a gift. He refuses to accept any payment for it no matter how much she insists, but asks if she'd be willing to take a walk with him instead. She agrees. They end up spending the whole day together, just talking. For the first time, Padme doesn't feel like she's drowning in her own feelings or floating with no direction. She feels a lot like she's finally come home.

Goro needs V as a lightning rod because if they aren’t around then all of this shit is only happening to him, and it sucks.

Like, that man has a temper, but he is so carefully polite in that diner conversation. Even though he has every reason to resent V, he seems to have entirely let it go. He's very pragmatic about his ridiculous plan for vengeance and that makes him so compelling. You can even goad him into saying FUCK YOU outright and after a little while he apologizes. Not the sort of behavior you expect from an elite Arasaka soldier who just went through such a devastating loss and is primed for revenge.

I don't know- it's just fascinating to see that he's determined to do whatever it takes to take Yorinobu out at the knees. Up to and including being polite and almost friendly to the idiot thief he pulled out of a dump. Unexpectedly subtle for an old guard dog.

so i was talking to @oneireth this fine wednesday morning and we were discussing the stonehearts and the ipc in all its villainy but also the role dr ratio has in all this. i don't think we'll realise the ulterior motive behind his presence in penacony but i will be mildly disappointed if he was just damage control under the title of " technical consultant ". regardless , i think he will be present during the charmony festival or so my delusions lead me. but we also looked back to double indemnity and pinpointed a specific line that struck us both.

i think this was overlooked way too easily like : yes , dr ratio is a prominent figure in the guild and the ipc assigned him to penacony but this implies that he is up there with the higher echelons. the ipc is not exactly paranoid but i would wager that they are extremely tight with their personnel and access to information and resources. for veritas to be among these levels is significant.

as we discussed it could be the payment that allows the ipc to oversee and utilise his research which as we know has revolutionised various aspects across the galaxy. so , yes , ultimately this is a business transaction. but this also has me recalling the mission pertaining to calderon chadwick and how screwllum even alludes to how they are waiting for the next calderon. ever since that quest i couldn't help but steer eyes to veritas i mean he simply foots the bill. considering he successfully fired an anti — planetary weapon it just slots in too cleanly.

if anyone has a viable way to get him to leave the ipc , please share.

My even hotter take is that the what we do in the shadows fandom treats the vampires and vampirism in much the same way that a certain brand of dudebro treats bojack horseman or rick Sanchez. Yes they are relatable but you are not supposed to idolise them or use them to justify your own behaviour you’re supposed to think they’re arrogant unselfaware and have arrested development brought on by the fact that the idiots cannot die no matter how stupid they are. Guillermo is the only competent one amongst them BECAUSE he is not a vampire, he is the only one who suffers consequences for his actions, ergo he is the only one who learns from his mistakes. Becoming a vampire would take that away from him. Nandor needs to improve to be with Guillermo, Guillermo does not need to stoop to Nandors level

I made the gravy for the stew so thick agdgdgdg like it's THICC thick 😭 I'm sure it will only get thicker when it cools too

Finally gave in and used the big copper pot to make the gravy (opposed to my tall smaller pot) and it was so so much easier omg shdhdhdhd I was like oh fuck yeah look at that fucker go, as it boiled sgdgdgdgdg

Stew is really good, veggies kinda (really) soft. But that's fine bc mom prefers to eat the stew on a plate like she does with a roast so she can smush up the veggies and I think they're gonna be perfect for that

Also I took a nap and slept at least an hour later than I planned so the stew was cooking on high for like 8 hours 😅😅😅😅 but nothing burned and the meat is TENDER so 😎🤙

i’m glad that the time spent on tumblr has created enough overlap between my tumblr and twitter usage that i’ve started typing “reblog” on tweets in addition to me slipping in “retweet” on my posts here. law of equivalent exchange
