The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same

Wisdom of Colin R. Davis and his thought-provoking quote: "The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same."Embracing resilience and learning from setbacks #SuccessAndFailure #GrowthMindset #OvercomingChallenges #LifeLessons #E

“The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.” This thought-provoking quote challenges the conventional notion that success and failure are polar opposites. Instead, it suggests that the paths leading to both outcomes often share striking similarities. In this article, we explore the profound meaning behind this quote, analyze its key messages, and offer cautionary…

Brennan having to tell Jujubee she's going to fall due to being stunned is hilarious because he's SAYING "absolutely my call" and "100% my call" but you can tell he is *struggling* to put his foot down 🤣

The queens are absolutely his spoiled grandkids that are used to facing zero consequences 🤣

Wh-

Alright. We keep calm. Spamton, you’ve probably been hurt before. You know what it feels like.

1. Does it feel like something might be broken?

2. Do you have any stab wounds?

3. Did you hit your head at any point?

4. Do your f1 things work on you, and if not, do you have anything that might help with it? (Not the s potion, I repeat not the s potion)

my question is why the hell is dmitry (and the rest of the squad) so mad at yan like "until i find out whose side you're on" ??? dude just adapted a persona while killing the creatures that are destroying YOUR people to give the rest of the survivors some hope, not to mention that he was SHOT by his supposed friend which was impossible to understand from the text alone

Ngl definitely thinking back to the cartoon-making chapter now we know that Twilight doesn't realise studying/pursuit of knowledge can be fun. No wonder the cartoon he made sucked. He was approaching it purely from the educational angle with zero idea of the entertainment aspect that makes edutainment programming effective.

It's not that he was really bad at writing the fun parts. He plain didn't realise there were meant to be any in the first place for it to work.

Copying the aesthetics with no understanding of what was underneath.

sometimes when I look for embroidery technique references I browse etsy & I came across this person who embroiders tagame panels and experimented with adding translucent resin globs to the final product to give the cumshots a 3D effect...listening and learning

why is everyone advocating for wade to die in the knuckles show? who else is going to convince shadow that humanity is worth saving so he helps sonic stop the ark

This game is sooooo beautiful I enjoy replaying it again and again- I wonder, how come when Renfield thinks of Jonathan, his face becomes obscured by a flower, and then when Jonathan thinks of Renfield, the same thing occurs?

thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it! 🌻

those moments are meant to evoke a few things. the big thing was a feeling of distance -- it's been a while since Renfield and Jonny have met in person, so they're not confident they have a perfect memory of each other, or that who they are now will be the same as who they were when they last met.

it's also intended to evoke a bridal veil, to go with the rest of the wedding imagery.

as for why Jonny gets a floral theme; all the love interests have a nature motif of some sort (Drac and Cez have fire, Ghost has ice/electricity...). Jonny's colour scheme was chosen to make him feel like a bright presence in the story, it went well with plants, plants fit his vibe, things slotted together from there.

There was a post related to TSG going around a while back, and someone in the notes had presented their theory that Colin has rickets which is why going outdoors does him such good. I went through the text this week to take note of what we're told of his physical symptoms to see if there was any actual textual argument for that theory, and full post later, but the short answer is no but we can draw some other conclusions from his medical history, and Burnett's actually making a lot more sense than she's often given credit for. This isn't a story about how going outdoors magically cures physical ailments. It's closer to what @fictionadventurer would call the "Gaskell Theory of Mental Health."

A hill I WILL die on is that TGCF has 0 old man yaoi. None. Even Guoshi, who by all accounts should be playing cards with Nannasprite and Yoda and look the part, canonically looks 30 maximum. THAT DOES NOT COUNT. I don't CARE how many centuries old they are on paper. REFER TO MY HEADER IMAGE!

finished reading Nimona (the comic) last night. that was a nice if darkly bittersweet little story

slowly but surely i am finishing up anj 2 and i got to episode 39, which bookends the harimau fight. wow. everything with joe and carlos in that arc was gay already, yet the anime staff looked at it and decided to push the homosexuality to its upper limits

On one hand I think there's a good argument to be made that you could do interesting things by adapting Goodbye Eri into animation (or even live action!) but you'd need to actually have a vision and want to say something about the artistic work of adapting a piece of art into a different medium, I think...

i get so mad when ppl say riddle would be ignorant/clueless towards lgbtq+ stuff bc he was raised sheltered. no the fuck he wouldn't. maybe he'd start out that way yeah but as Soon as its implied he doesn't know something hes taking that shit to heart and learning everything he could EVER know about it. hes making a fucking study of it. he knows more than you actually

[vimbry-moved]

oh something that might be helpful to people also find it hard to appreciate their own skill growth and haven't already thought of it: I usually film or photograph myself/the work at the start of something, so when I inevitably plateau, I can look back at that to regain perspective on how far I've actually come
