Fake it, Till you Make It

Fake it till you make it !!! This was never a term used when I was job hunting. In the 2000s when I left the military and was looking for my next career. The closest we ever came to this was rehearsing “buzz” words that we, as veterans, would try and drop into the interview conversation.
As a veteran, we already understood the “buzz” words. The job we were applying for we…

Guys call me crazy but I think the crazy robots would get along swimmingly. The tragic fact that these two don’t have more art interacting is an offense in my rule book and I have come to remedy that. They say you must manifest what you want to see in the world and this is me doing that jskjsksp. I will take initiative! Enjoy a smidgen of Mr. Puzzles and Mettaton art then. Although I think the only reason they initially decided to co-host collaborate together here was the prospect of getting more stars/ratings- because that’s show business babyyyy leverage off of famous people for viewssss/j
Also here is version without the speech/dialogue bubbles! Just two gay bots being fabulous and gossiping or something (platonically. Or you could lean into this being a ship I don’t really care lol). Maybe they’ll exchange some advice about the logistics of incorporating musical numbers in the boardcasts without losing too much revenue on the budget idk. Because if you think about it Mettaton did a musical number in a dress with Frisk and then Mr. Puzzles had his whole Creative Control moment. And both where marvelous performances by the way absolutely slay ✨
My “toxic trait” is supporting the theatrical livelihoods of fictional computers who have committed atrocities, and they both will probably never make an apology video for the attempted murders and trauma inflicting. Wow so girlboss of them :))

the wild part of the double is that so many revenge stories, it's a story of a year or two or ten. the wounds have time to scab or scar. for jiang li, it's been a decade. but xue fangfei's wounds are still fresh. it's been-

Jem, sweetheart, don't step into the light. You'll end up in a world you don't recognize where you have to overcome your disaster bisexual tendencies to actually think and do detective work. Do you really wanna do that? Do you? Okay, yeah, there's hot men and women on the other side but- ohp he already stepped through, there he goes, hm, what a predicament

« Word would get around. I mean, in those days, had you heard the Blackbeard and Stede had opened up an inn, [you’d have] to check that one out. It’ll be like Planet Hollywood. »
😂
Regarding what Rhys said to our delusion of a happy ever after for Stede and Ed … SIR ! Don’t put ideas in scenarists’ heads (if they so much as think of killing them both, I will burn cities to the ground)

tip: dont include any variation of "im not that happy with this / i dont think i like how this turned out" etc when you share your art
when i was in drama classes, my teacher told us "if you flub a line in a performance - do not draw attention to it. move on and continue as you were. if you do not mention it / apologize for it, the audience will not notice. if you bring attention to it, or attention to your lack of confidence, that is all they will notice"
and its true ! if you share your art online, but then point out in the caption/tags every issue you have with it - im going to notice those "flaws" that otherwise would not have ! just fake confidence or dont say anything when you post art/writing/whatever

I think the key to life being more bearable, is feeling cool and aesthetic. Or just faking your own importance until you start believing it. Here, I'll elaborate. For example: I hate going to the city center and doing my weekly grocery shopping because there are lots of tourists, and crowds make me uncomfortable. (I moved from a small village to the big city for college.) Anyway, I start acting like a city girl running her errands and making phone calls which are just me calling my mother and acting like I am in a hurry. Similarly, I hate making fruit water because it's annoying and tastes like shit but I adore walking around or just doing something in my home and then taking a sip of that aesthetic bottle of glorified water. The thought of tidying my room makes me feel suffocated because I know I'll spend the entire afternoon trying to finish that damn spring clean but thinking of myself as a main character in a movie that battles her fears no matter how big or small makes me clean it more quickly and efficiently, but more importantly, the stress is gone. I actually find it very hard to brush my teeth every morning and apply the most basic skincare but acting like I am filming a get-ready-with-me video like some influencers do makes it much more bearable.
Fake it till you make it.

The really funny thing about religion being an intelligence check in dnd is that it means my artificer who has never worshipped anything in her life tends to do decently on it, while my actual paladin is out here getting 0s on it.
