"He was blind with panic. It was as if he had run away from himself and left the inside of his head empty. Mitt knew this would not do. It was no use thinking Ynen could manage by himself. He had to run after himself, inside his head, and bring himself back with one arm twisted up his back before he was able to pick up an armful of soaking sail and stagger with it to the hatch."
Diana Wynne Jones, "Drowned Ammet"

You can do hard things like being “embarrassing” with more practice and exposure 🥰 and it’s true that most ppl don’t care and like you are more focused on themselves and if they’re being embarrassing
So embarrassing but who cares. But so embarrassing but who cares but it’s so embarrassing but also who cares but it really is embarrassing but really who cares BUT it’s so embarrassing though probably nobody cares but it’s embarrassing asf and nobody cares but

Fear Unveiled: Navigating the Depths and Paving the Path Forward
Fear Unveiled: Navigating the Depths and Paving the Path Forward #FearlessLiving #OvercomingChallenges #PersonalGrowth #FacingFearsHeadOn #MindsetShift
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? Exploring the Depths of Fear: What’s the Thing You’re Most Scared to Do? Fear, that ever-present specter haunting the corridors of our minds, takes on myriad forms. It’s the invisible force that often dictates our choices, influences our decisions, and keeps us tethered to the familiar. Yet, hidden within the…

walker being so much taller than leah allows for the perfect opportunity for annabeth to be completely baffled at how much percy grew over the last year. imagine annabeth punching that bully in the jaw bc he messed with her friend. only to turn around and be face-to-face with percy's chest. and he's oblivious to her confusion bc he's smitten and happy to see his smart, and pretty, and kind, and strong, and badass best friend. and annabeth is just fuming.

I love the repeated theme of miles being terrified but choosing to face his fears because the last time he didn’t, his uncle got shot and killed. he’s always scared but he works through his fears and makes plans that are good. 
And the best thing about miles being scared but choosing to face his fears contrasts beautifully with Gwen’s tendency to avoid things that scare her-- not like threats of bodily harm or that bullshit but she’s terrified of being alone and abandoned that she tries to fit and follow the rules as best as she can, which is what she does with miguel. But by the end of the movie, she sees how that hurt Miles and she’s willing to change her behavior, change how she thinks the same way she did in the first movie because Miles makes her feel brave, he inspires her in a way not many people do and he unintentionally helps her see the wrong in Miguel’s actions, prompting her to finally oppose him
Plus, her conversation with her father, having him finally choose her over his duty and seeing how much he cares about her probably helped her gain her confidance once more and the fact that he DIDN’T die as a police captain proving miguel wrong
This went from a rant about Miles to a rant about Gwen XD
the theme of miles always being terrified, but doing things anyway is so beautiful. even when he’s being followed by thousands of spidersonas, holding his own, hashing a plan that may just work—finally understanding truly how much he can do—he is terrified to let go of that glass.
in both films he jumps. but the glass breaks and shatters. first time because his hands wouldn’t let go. now, because even as he pushes off, his feet want to stick. but he jumps. and he escapes. and his plan works. and he tells his mother, what could i possibly be afraid of now? and tied up, seeing a version of himself he never thought existed, miles—who was never supposed to be spider-man—takes hold of the situation and is not afraid.
because his name is Miles Morales. He was bitten by a radioactive spider meant for someone else, and he has never truly been the only spider-man. but anyone can wear the mask. and maybe next time the glass won’t break.

doing chibi is a good design exercise bc it forces u to think on shapes n essential details, essentially thumbnailing ur designs. its also a terrible design exercise bc it ends up looking cute no matter what
#dimension 20#fantasy high#riz gukgak#very specifically class swap bard!riz#fh class quangle#mm. I may need tags for all the asides Ive been doing lmao#riz's canon design is so coherent and thematically clean that I genuinely struggle to keep up...#bard!riz's whole thing is working out his identity through abject fear so it kiiiinda makes sense that hes got a different thing going#on every year I guess? like lmao the directive I go into each of these designs with changes vastly#freshman bard!riz has to look extremely nonthreatening. and also make you wanna pick him up and chuck him at a wall#annoyingly inoffensive. slides off your memory pretty much immediately. a void of an experience#crucially Does Not Show Teeth While Smiling#sophomore year bard!riz I have been keeping the like. cameraman direction for#I want him to be swimming in clothes a little bit... he kinda lands at like. 80s/90s shlocky horror protag too which I do like#bc what is season 2 to riz if not a horror story lmao#junior year bard!riz I want to be somewhere between clark kent and tintin#the journalist aesthetics is not so clear and easy to build as the detective or spy aesthetics...#but also I just. really like boy journalist lmao this is the BD blood speaking again#and! I actually do draw his hair differently than in my canon junior year riz stuff. its a bit shorter here so it doesn't#obscure as much of his face#its so funny actually going from drawing canon stuff to class swap esp. with riz bc he's smiling SO much here#and it's 100% trained like its crucial for u guys to know he is equally if not more fucked up as a bard#barely anybody can wrangle him in canon it's already been mostly him keeping himself on track. imagine if he actually learned how to act#mmm. I think these designs are still gonna soft change as I draw them. thats fine we have fun#drawing sophomore year bard!riz for those comiclets was fun as hell. I think on this factor alone I call it a success lol

I feel like Jazz should have her own Bio-dad Aus Now Bruce is a popular choice for most bio dad AUs, but let's add some variety. Harley Quinn is another popular choice, it kinda fits since they have ties to psychology. But let me give you another choice. Harvey Dent. Let's say Maddie and Harvey met at one of Brucie Wayne's fundraiser events, they hit it off, get a bit tipsy, then boom. Jazz's born. Jazz looks so much like her mum that Maddie doesn't even think that Jazz is not Jack's kid. (She does notice some things about Jazz that she couldn't have gotten from Jack or her, but admitting that would probably ruin her marriage, so she employs blissful ignorance.) Harvey, of course has no idea Jazz exists. Years pass, truths come out (or not), tears are shed, life goes on. Now Jazz is looking at schools, and she finds a good one in Gotham, you know, the home of her bio dad. She decides to reach out to Harvey. So, she talks it over with Jack and Maddie and they agree to let her go. Now you could have Jack and Maddie know that Jazz isn't Jacks kid and approve of her reaching out to Harvey, just them being supportive. Or, you could have them not know anything, and have Jazz do this behind their backs as an attempt to have a semi decent role model in her life. Your choice. But anyway. Here Harvey is, planning something (Next court case or next crime) and then, out of nowhere, a kid shows up on his doorstep saying "Congratulations, it's a girl, where's that child support?" And he's just so confused, like how did she find him (Tucker of course) and where were her parents? Harvey who's very concerned: ehh, you do know I'm a criminal, right? Jazz: My mum and other dad have a portal to hell in the basement, trust me, you're an improvement. Harvey who's even more concerned about this kid: ??????? Or you know, Slade Wilson is also an option.

no one asked but my headcanon of the day is that fear toxin in high enough doses absolutely makes you shit your pants. and piss yourself. sometimes both if you’re truly unlucky.

SOL WAS SEXY THIS EPISODE. HE WAS IN DISTRESS (sad), AND THEN HE WAS ANGRY (hot), AND THEN HE WAS MYSTERIOUS (lurking in the shadows, switching from the kind and gentle demeanor to stern and serious and with that lower pitched voice)

On Arachnophobia
I used to be terrified of spiders. Like, heart racing, sweaty, make-bad-choices scared of spiders.
This fear was starting to become a problem back in 2020, when I wanted to spend hours a week in the woods at night- a pretty spider-heavy endeavor. I was like "Ok, that's it, I gotta get over this". So I made the deranged decision to start taking portraits of spiders. Now? I like them.

This is (I think) in the genus Rabidosa. Long legged, stripey, and pretty cute in the face.

I MEAN. Come on, that's cute.
