#I will pep talk you into doing it

As I continue to write my silly little stories and draw my silly little art, I have to keep in mind that when I look over my work later, they might seem sappy. Our WIPs are cringe sometimes, and that is OK! It is OK to write cringe things, and You are allowed to be Yourself when You are alone or in draft-mode. I personally think that beating myself up over whether my writing/art sounds cringe or not has affected my workflow over the years, and that is not OK!
JUST DO THE THING ALREADY!! BE THE PERSON A 6TH GRADER WOULD CRINGE AT!!! BECAUSE WHO CARES!!!!
#Be cringe unapologetically!#Your WIP is silly OK?#Mine is too!#At the end of the day we are all creatures living on a floating rock!#If you never start your project#I will pep talk you into doing it#MUAHAHA!#writing#writblr#WIP#draft#drawing#art

Cas stitching up his trench coat in one of the motel chairs while Sam and Dean are asleep and quietly talking to Jack about how to him the coat feels as part of himself now as his blade is. That it reminds him that he wasn't always aware of just how deeply humans could feel. How deeply angels could feel. How putting care into something can make it meaningful. The stars were mere pricks of light before humans decided to name them. The more he cares for his coat, the more of his perspective and memory gets sewn into it. The more it becomes his.
"And the pockets," he confides with a deep wink, "Are good for keeping snacks in."
Later, when Dean is asleep again, drooling over an open book of research in the bunker, Jack watches as Cas tucks his coat over Dean's shoulders and sees how he hesitates for a moment before brushing his hand softly through Dean's hair. Dean is transformed, through Cas’s careful attention, from the man who was the gatekeeper of acceptance and goodness to just a man, vulnerable and in need of care.
Jack wonders whether Castiel cares for everyone like they are a precious object. And he wonders what Castiel would transform him into, if he had to be repaired. Jack isn't sure that he likes the idea. He already has a hard time understanding his own morality, how can he also be expected live up to the idea of himself in Castiel's head? The object that Castiel loves? Does he need to be changed in order to become his?
"I could get him my pillow?" Jack suggests, swallowing against the cold mass in his throat when Cas smiles gently at that. He does like it, then, when Jack acts against his own interest.
"That might wake him. We should let him rest."
"He's precious to you."
"He is." Castiel reaches out and puts a hand on Jack's sleeve, expression sincere, "And so are you."
"Right," Jack says, then, "thanks," and holds his smile until Cas wanders back to sit perpendicular to Dean, to watch him until just before he stirred. Castiel and Jack, both, were good at pretending not to feel what they felt.
Watching the angel watch the man, Jack feels like a star. Immense and powerful but also distant, removed. Not special until a real person decides that he is. He is between angel and human. Person and object. Precious and disregarded. He is the blade and the coat, and Jack doesn't know which is worse.
#jack kline#sorry i started this with cute destiel goggles and then i was like. jack robbed of autonomy kline would be freaked out by this actually.#he literally has rocks thrown at him every dayyyyyy#i love making nice sweet statements like 'you are precious to me :)' and having the other person twist them around in their mind to#be a confirmation of their worst fears. always a delight. i do that quite a lot in a light above descending.#continuing the tradition started by supernatural of castiel giving jack horrible pep talks that make him feel worse ☺️#cawis creates#also continuing the tradition of writing fic instead of getting on with my work!!!! gotta critically reflect rn!!!! bye!!!

I just saw a few "beginner artist" animations and posts that had gained some traction and their comment sections actually made me pretty seethingly upset.
"Experienced" artists really just jump on "beginner" artists to tell them all the 2 to 5 to 50 things that they can do better. All under the guise of "I'm just tryna help" and coated with "you have potential!". Well I am also a fellow artist and that is so haughty and discouraging to me. Some artists need to get off their hyper realistic objectively superior anatomically correct high horses and give the goofy newbie ones some fucking room to breathe. Leave beginner artists alone, a tip or two is fine but they do not need 20 people correcting all their "mistakes" and giving tips and criticism where it was never asked for. I genuinely feel so bad for these beginning artists who put in effort to create something, and that's the foremost beauty of art, only to get jumped like prey by all these other artists who fail to appreciate the very core of what they claim to teach. If you do that, THEY DON'T NEED YOU to grow as artists, and that's assuming you even wanted to help and not just having a superiority complex
#if people ask for criticism thats a different story. Im not here to tell you you cant say what you want. free speech and whatever#its the internet#but holy SHIT#if I had gotten this amount of “experienced” artists seeing my newbie artwork#ough I shudder at the thought. Horrible#blabber#art#I will tell you right now I criticize etc some art in private. with friends. dont do that in the artist's face are you kidding me#If a baby takes its first steps are you going to give it a 5 minute pep talk on its posture correction and how to run#like no oh my god the baby will be fine. People new to their craft will be fine#are you gonna do that because it gives you an ego boost because youre better at walking than a baby. no youre not!!!

Wyll is the only character I feel bad about turning down on playthroughs where I'm not doing his romance.
He makes that sad little 'oh' noise and I die inside.
And then he apologises for making you feel uncomfortable so I can feel terrible again. I can hug Astarion and Karlach, but where is my option to hug him? Unless it's been added in which case I retract my statement.
#You deserve better than this playthrough! You get my nice Durges!#They will die for you!#They will support you through YOUR daddy issues back (even though their concept of it makes the efforts a bit warped)#All origin/durge ships have great concepts and chemistry to play off but I do have a soft spot for Wyll/Durge.#Pair of intensely poetic oddballs with overly strict fathers they can't live up to.#Damnation and redemption as a key feature. Strangely sweet.#But also that pep talk he gives you when the Urge is taking over in act 2 goddamn.#He believes in them so much it kills me#playthrough shenanigans#/wyll#babbling

this is the emotional equivalent to a nuke being dropped precisely on my head
#david ferrer#rafael nadal#can you imagine playing the last match of your career and you're playing terribly and you're behind by an insurmountable distance#and your DC teammate of 2 decades-turned-captain tells you to go out there and just play for the love of tennis like when you were a kid...#they can never fire him as captain idc how questionable his picks are he was clearly BORN for these changeover pep talks#sportsman: rafael nadal#sportsman: david ferrer#sport: tennis#higher faster stronger#au where i don't feel like dissolving into tears everytime rafa nadal and david ferrer are within 100 feet of each other#if this didn't make me so emotional it'd be; like. REALLY funny#ferru legit shifted into sports anime mode on those last few changeovers huh#(also to the couple new tennis followers hi i love you all and i'm so sorry about the ways in which i will disappoint you#in particular i am so sorry in advance for what i am about to do when the darts world championship starts lmaooo)

"Do it scared this, do it stupid that" do it out of SPITE. Do it out of vengeance. Do it out of love. Want to prove others wrong? Do it to prove a point and be victorious. You're your own biggest enemy? Do it to prove YOURSELF wrong. In the end, you're the one to do it, so choose one motivator (or none!), and get out there and DO IT
#this is a pep talk to myself#i just spent the last hour journaling and reflecting on what's happened this year and what i want#getting older and thinking about where you are and what you want is ... interesting#my birthday was last month but I've only given myself the time to think about life today#and what I've decided is to gently hit myself on the head and be grateful for what I have#and also to go out there and get the things i want#I'm going to do it as a big screw you to myself#I'm my biggest enemy and I'm going to prove myself wrong :D#macy speaks#sorry this is a wild rant post but I'm very inspired right now#let's hope i keep up with this XD#what i want is another hualian tattoo!! for now#that's doable and I'll get it done as soon as i can!!#oh my god this is embarrassing I might delete it later#and most importantly#do it for hualian!!!!

It's weird for me at first to see how digitally advanced Obey Me!Nightbringer is compared to the OG Obey Me! Since it's supposed to be in the past
For example the difference between the Nightmare is extremely noticeable
It's actually kinda funny when you think about the Devildom evolving backwards lmao
#obey me#obey me nightbringer#also decomms looks much more advanced than the og chat#ALSO CAN SOMEONE DO A COMPLICATION OF THEIR BACKGROUNDS??#i wanted to point that out.. its so pretty and fits their personality#ALSO ALSO they finally changed their pfp#looking at you lucifer#no offense but his og pfp is NOT PRETTY#thanks for listening to my pep talk

Thinking about being in a relationship with Bakugou, and you’ve been together for a few months but he still hasn’t kissed you.
For him, it’s hard knowing when to even attempt it not to mention he has no idea what he’s doing. The number of romantic movies and books he’s read aren’t enough to actually show him what he should be doing with his lips, or his hands— the thought alone has him sweating enough to fill both gauntlets.
The guys tease him about it, because it’s something that should be so easy and simple, but the number two hero can’t manage to do it.
But for you, it feels like he doesn’t want to kiss you— and it hurts. You know it’s his first relationship, and you’re the first girl he’s ever shown a real interest in outside childhood celebrity crushes. It makes you feel special, really special, that he’s picked you. Although you can’t hide that doubt that gnaws at the back of your mind that he isn’t as into you anymore but just doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.
And the longer he leaves it, the harder it starts to become. Overthinking every moment, and closing himself off to avoid the awkward thoughts… which only makes the doubt inside you worse.
And you don’t want to pressure him into anything either, and it just means you both continue dancing around each other without really talking about it.
So one day after a dinner date in the city, he’s walking you back to the train station and that’s when you ask the question that’s been on the tip of your tongue for weeks.
“Katsuki, why haven’t you kissed me yet?”
#I’m thinking of way too many scenarios for this tho#like from both sides#and I can imagine him being SO nervous for his first kiss#and he doesn’t want to fuck it up#you know he’s tried to give himself little pep talks in the mirror#telling himself tonight’s the night to just do it#even tried liquid courage a few times but it just makes him even more nervous because now he’s hot and bothered because you’re so so sexy#but he can’t work out how to do it#soft bakugou

All the explicit love triangle imagery on the show (this isn’t even all of the examples):
Bonus: Kaypeace’s brilliant video from 4 years ago
Am I a joke to you?
#byler#will byers#mike wheeler#mike wheeler i know what you are#stranger things love triangle#hmm I wonder what it is in particular about Will/Mike/El that leads you to not see it as a love triangle#can’t quite put my finger on it#also thinking that Dustin stood more of a chance with Max than Will does with his best friend is HILARIOUS#oh I’m sorry I forgot that Mike is Elsexual#which is why he struggled for two seasons to tell El he loves her and needed a romantic pep talk from his platonic bestie to do so#got it#milkvan is the height of romance#and this isn’t a love triangle#no love triangle imagery to see here#just some classic unrequited love#he SAID he and Will were just friends#didn’t you hear him?#the whole roller rink heard him#Mike wheeler the heterosexual king

Was inspired by @mushtoons HC’s and came up with my own silly little thought 💙💅❤️
#TMNT#TMNT 2012#leonardo#raphael#mushtoons#okay so I was looking at all of mushtoons Leona stuff and spent like 14hrs straight Saturday coming up with my own story and headcanons#which I have shared with them but cba ever doing anything with#but that was like an origin story for this being a like weekly occurrence in the TMNT sewer household#and then yesterday I doodled in while painting my nails on the train#I know I’m terrible but regardless#when I got to where I was going I saw an old friend who loves turtles and she mentioned how I have a thing for nail polish#and she’s right btw I do so since it was relevant I shown her this as a wip#and at the end of the day we had a deep convo but she also gave me a massive pep talk#because she doesn’t have tumblr and doesn’t see my stuff much#about how good I’ve gotten and how I could pursue this seriously#so I also wanted to finish this for her#also also also#me and my twin watched 2012 when it came out and out faves where raph and Leo#so this one silly thing has so much personal meaning in it aaa#oh also if you know the song they’re singing your cool ily#wow with all these tags I probably could have just out the story behind this in the tags oops…..

Omg you're back again hello 👀 how have you been????
Big mood on the "man I wish this author would finish their fic" LOL I've been rereading my own wiring recently and going wtf. Where's the rest of it?
For a limited time only babyyy
But I've been good. Extremely busy but it's okay, the pto is worth it. That's what I keep telling myself at least :) but how are you??? Is anything interesting happening? New developments perhaps 👀
The funny thing is that I've actually been talking with a few mutuals, and they've all told me that they recently went back to re-read their drafts. Maybe it's something in the air or we're all feeling a bit nostalgic? Or because everyone is on break since it's summer.
#cattycattitude#im self projecting#Right?? When I read an incomplete fic#I don't hound the author down to finish it because it's rude as hell and things take time. People are busy#not in this case. I have a direct open line of communication with this author and they are about to receive a very strongly worded pep talk#you know what i think it could be#and take this with a grain of salt cause I'm speaking from my experience#but i feel like since we know how we want the story to go#and we've basically crafted the entire fic in our heads#we only pick the parts that we really like#for example when go back to rewatch clips from a movie#we just watch the parts that we like#i dont give a shit about the random conversation 28 mins into the movie#but its important because it advances the plot or it serves another purpose but regardless its important#but since im writing it I have to add in that random conversation otherwise the fic doesn't make sense#but thats BORING#I DONT WANNA DO IT#so rather than just sitting down and taking the 2 minutes to write that dialogue#i just push it to the side and pretend that ill come back to it#but i dont cause its always going to something boring to me even if it really isn't#super duper big mwah#lovely person#ask

did anyone else’s public school system have like an obsession with the word/acronym “grit” and just like constantly shove the definitions of the words gumption resilience integrity and tenacity down their throats or was that just mine. either way what was up with that
#marzi speaks#what was with the grit thing. why#we would have like pep rallies about it. in middle school we’d spend library days talking about grit#makes no goddamn sense in hindsight. why did they do that#they always used like the same four images too#gumption was an image of a cat walking past 4 dogs#resilience was a dandelion growing in concrete#integrity was clipart of a kid choosing not to cheat on a test even though they could#and tenacity was clipart of a frog choking out the crane trying to eat it#wh. why did they hammer that into my head for 12 years#i mean like those are good qualities to try to instill in kids sure but. ????????#why Always Those??? it was that and Have A Growth Mindset but they were garbage at actually teaching you with a growth mindset#have a growth mindset kids! anyways i’m about to base your worth and my perception of you on a number and there is nothing you can do about#it except change the number you show me. have fun keeping that self esteem up#public school is so fucking weird

Erm... bean.... care to explain...
THIS!? Is that supposed to be bruno??? He looks like peppino but since he has the eye cover thing i thought it might be bruno...
(For context, this is a close-up of the newspaper Chamomile is reading, from this post)
#bean talks too much#I am glad someone pointed this out tho#I do love to put little easter eggs in places like this hehe#I think you can guess who it is considering they look like Pep and have the censor bar over their eyes#and the word above the picture should be of note too#tho that is covered up by Cham's fingers so it could be anythinggggg
