Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will learn what inspires you. You will cultivate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity. And when you do meet the right person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it because you are sure of yourself.

problems i think a lot of readers (especially young ones) have is taking things at face value, especially if a character is saying it or explaining it - like don't trust them fucks!! and don't trust the narrator either! treat every word like a mystery, a crime scene from the unreliable witness and you're the detective; discover the unwritten, find the innucuous lies and the partial truth, and analyse what isn't spoken.

watching youtube process videos for art has sent me into an absolute tailspin of realization that like. oh. people can draw these things so Precisely because they unlike me are not trying to do the drawing as fast as is physically possible

@thicketville: meta: write me a three page essay on what john would get at subway, and if it would give him food poisoning or not. — META TOPICS
THIS IS SO FUNNY ACTUALLY frankly i don't think he'd go to subway if his life depended on it, he would say that he never trusts thinly sliced meats from a corporate chain. which is bold as hell of him when he has eaten far worse from far more dubious places.
but if he has no other choice, then he's getting a foot-long toasted philly steak sub sandwich, trying to eat it in one sitting, failing miserably, and breaking up the rest to shove into his coat pockets for later. it's given him heartburn before, but not food poisoning (so far), and he experiences a new personal low whenever someone he knows catches him nibbling on a quarter of a cold subway sandwich from his pocket.

an idea that i think would be funny: a fic in which nhs wants to Do Something. he is genuinely very bad at it and is flying by the seat of his uhhhh underpants all the time. i repeat: no hidden genius powers. he is not very smart, and struggling all the time. however, because he’s also god’s favourite little comedian, somehow some things happen to have good results, some have bad results but people magically don’t notice, and in some cases his squirming actually helps someone. he is incredibly stressed and tired all the time and nmj is like “what the fuck, he’s not even doing anything” and, yes but he’s Trying (and failing, and it takes energy too)
