#Leave The Rest

I have found some fantastic craft videos on YouTube lately. I'm a firm believer that 90% of all writing advice is exactly the same, but how it's verbalized/categorized/synthesized is way more important to it clicking with you.
I have found a person that clicks. Nothing they are saying is new information to me, but it was broken down in a way that helped me overcome a mental block I had been having for WEEKS! So anyway. . . here is a link to her YouTube channel.
Happy writing.

Rest Stop
-
Come to me in silence.
Let me lick your wounds,
And take the weight off
Your tired shoulders.
Find meaning here,
As I brush your hair.
Comb the responsibility
Out from the root.
You can come to me in silence,
So long as you leave me
Free.

I didn't get to watch the game live tonight cause I am at work so I could only check the play by play and Tumblr.
It's sad it went all the way to a shoot out cause the Sirens could have used the regulation points, but at the same time it's doubtful these two teams will have regularion finishes unless theres some crazy circumstances going on.
There is a rivalry between these teams. I don't know if it started last season, but I would say if it didn't it definitely started when the Sirens took that first win after the Frost raised their championship banner.
#jess speaks nonsense#pwhl lb#pwhl#new york sirens#insane they did an empty net#but at least it worked#can't wait to watch the vod when it goes up#i wish they didn't edit them so much though they just have to edit out the comercials and edit over the music#leave the rest#especially the negotiations#i am so sad they don't leave in the negotiations

Stop beating yourself to things that are beyond your control. You tried your best within your limited capacities and that's that - you can't change the world. There's a point at which destiny looks straight into your eyes and says: 'here, you've done your part, now the rest is on me!'

for all the autistic folks in the notes struggling with the first bullet point:
if you can identify your own emotions, do you always tell people exactly what you're feeling when asked? why or why not? neurotypical people don't have a monopoly on not being Absolute Emotional Open Books. you might also have reasons for not sharing your feelings with people. mine your own experience!
if you can't identify your emotions easily... what does 'mad' or 'sad' feel like to you, physically? does your face feel hot? body feel like it's going to explode or melt? are you shaking? does your stomach hurt a bit? reading lists of common body sensations associated with emotional experience may help.
it can be intensely frustrating when people don't say what they mean. lean the fuck into that frustration and write it into the dialogue.
you can absolutely use your own emotional experience as a reference for writing character moments. or characters you relate to, or people you're really comfortable around.
it's just play! if the rewritten scene doesn't feel right either, try something else. your effort isn't wasted here.
Writing advice from my uni teachers:
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
#creative writing#writing exercises#writing advice#good advice#autism#neurodivergent#you can also make your characters speak entirely in metaphor#'this is making my blood boil'#'i want to spit nails'#I ACTUALLY SAY THESE THINGS#on my second point: you can give those sensations to the character(s) you're writing#take what works for you#leave the rest

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.
I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.
we are not the same.
#I agree with Luke’s beliefs 100%#I don’t agree with his actions#but I specifically remember Luke seeming real fucking unaffected while leaving Annabeth to endure being literally crushed to death#the rest of the halfbloods that joined the titans army had good intentions but Luke… oh boy#I’m sorry I can’t help but disagree with his actions#percy jackon and the olympians#luke castellan#annabeth chase#percy jackson#percy series#camp half blood#pjo hoo toa#some ppl in the comments pointed out shit I forgot ty guys#like the way he manipulated Silena and Annabeth because he knew they loved him is literally pedophillia 🤢🤮#I was cautious with my tags at first because I thought Luke apologists were gonna come at me with knives if I said more than necessary#but now I’m brave enough to admit I hate that man and no one can convince me otherwise

The first time Wayne meets Steve Harrington, he is nine years old and it's Career Day.
Every year a bunch of people crowd into the gym to tell the kids what they do for a living. This year, Wayne drew the short straw and was sent to represent the plant he works at.
He wasn't expecting his measly poster board to attract a lot of attention compared to the other booths with their models and hangouts. So, it's a little surprising when a kid with big eyes and wild hair marches straight up to him and asks, "What do you do?"
"Plant work."
The kid tilted his head, "Like a gardener?"
"More like an electrician."
The kid stood up a little straighter. His eyes went a little wider the way that his nephew's eyes do when he was interested in something, "Like lightbulbs and wires?"
"Yeah," Wayne answered, and then was immediately assaulted by a series of questions.
The questions were specific like the kid had read a book on electrical work but hadn't quite wrapped his head around it. It made Wayne think of Eddie, many miles away with Al, and all his many weird special interests. He smiled but then the kid asked, "But what if you can't turn the electricity off first? Will you die? I'm Steve, by the way."
"Hi, Steve," Wayne said and then made it very clear, "You should not be messing with any wires without adult supervision. It's very dangerous and you can get hurt."
Steve just huffed at that and then ran off when he saw Mr. Hagan at his booth. He was giving out toothbrushes.
Wayne doesn't think much of that kid after he leaves the school. He doesn't have much reason to until there's a loud insistent knocking on his front door an hour after he got off shift a couple days later.
"...What are you doing here?"
"Hi, I'm Steve. We met before..." The kid said, fidgeting when Wayne just stared at him bewildered. "I asked Mrs. Byers at Melvards where you live. I see you there sometimes."
Wayne raised an eyebrow and Steve rushed, "I need a grown up with super-vision."
This was how Wayne found himself on Saturday morning in the front hall of the painfully empty Harrington household. Steve was beckoning him along and showing him a burnt outlet. He gave Wayne a very serious look, "I need help fixing it."
"Why don't you wait until your parents get back from...?"
"No!" Steve snapped at him. "I'm in charge! Dad said that I have to take care of the house and, and-"
"I don't think he was referring to something like this, kid."
"Yes, he was!" Steve insisted. "Cause I - 'Cause I told him that the lights were flickering when Mama called and he said to figure it out so. So, I got you. That's deli-gate-tion."
And that was how Wayne found himself standing in the Harrington basement with a flashlight and a kid with a death grip on his pant leg. Wayne was looking at the marks on the breaker box where the kid clearly tried to pry it open with a screwdriver when Steve tugged on his leg, "Can you see inside it with your super vision?"
Jesus, Wayne thought and then dedicated the rest of his day to showing this kid exactly why he should not be messing around with electrical wires and maybe. Just maybe, inspiring a future electrician.
#Wayne immediately leaves and tells Hopper that there’s a kid all along in that big house#burdening Steve for the rest of his life with a cop that is suddenly very interest in what he’s doing#Steve is so used to people introducing themselves as Mr or Mrs (name) that when Wayne telling him that his name is Wayne#Steve thinks his name is Mr Wayne#color him surprised when he meets Eddie’s uncle years later#steve harrington#wayne munson

january month of yuugi
#yugioh#ygo dm#yugi mutou#idk what was in the water on 2025 opening but it really got me thinking hm. I will finally draw yuugi#ygo has been in my dna for like close to a decade at this point and yet. I have never attempted to draw anything for it#until now. my audacity has finally reached quota#wishshipping saved my ass this lunar new year and its not even an exaggeration. thank you kazuki takahashi for the boys. rest in peace#mutou yuugi I love u.... u r my son#not mentioned in this stack but dsod's decision to thin yuugi's choker is the funniest shittiest character design decision on earth#like as a detail its so nothing. when u zoom out it just looks like a shadow dropped wrong somewhere. I have come to terms with#the other fashion choice for him in that movie but the tiny ass choker I don't accept. that's stupid. big it#I rly like the vision of older yuugi being like. obnoxiously polite and cheerful#specifically in a way that's not like ceding space for everyone else. like it's clear at all time that he's Like That#and nobody will be able to stop him from being Like That#and also tbh I can never imagine him leaving domino for long (<- definitely not projecting my city slicker ass on him)#I think the game shop's been where he's safe to be himself for so long that he'd want to keep it running and extend#that shade to other kids in the city too. his loyal customers are so scared of disappointing him for no reason#.... typed huge wall of text abt jou leaving domino for tournaments etc frequently but always coming back to hang out with yuugi#I am actually ill abt them huh.... maybe ygo was the progenitor honestly maybe it started me on the two blokes who do fuckall ships#yuugi is so cute but I do know in my heart tho he does Not cook. that kid has never learned and will never manage#I know he doesnt even have water in his office whenever he works. scared of spilling#its a good thing hes got friends galore now people are blowing his phone up wasting their sms toll telling him to drink water#(slowly tipping into mania) I just think he's so neat. love that boy he's so cute

I feel like I’ve reached the end of my own personal house episode. like alright, the chronic anemia and indigestion are celiac. the aching joints are psoriatic arthritis. the sore throat and swollen lymph nodes are mono. understandable, now we can work on all that.
#well. the mono I just have to wait out.#it’s in the tail end so I should only have a couple more months of it#the celiac I’ve already fixed by switching to a gluten free diet#(iron levels have been stable for a year now!!)#and the psoriatic arthritis will be treated with immune suppressants#ALSO isn’t it stupid that you can have more than one thing?? that’s so greedy#so inconsiderate. like pick one disease and leave the rest for other people

Lifespans.
(ID under cut)
[Image ID: A three-way venn diagram floating against a starfield. The circles are coloured; one yellow, one light blue, one a darker shade of blue. The yellow is the smallest, the two blue ones over double its size, with the darker blue the biggest. The yellow is half covered by the two blue circles, while it takes up a small amount of the two blues. The centre overlap between all three is labelled "the precious few years we three were together".
There is very little overlap between the yellow and the darker blue without the lighter blue.
The work is signed 'aerialworms'./End ID]
#star trek#mcspirk#star trek fanart#star trek the original series#leonard mccoy#james t kirk#spock#i drew this after that short film came out last year#I don't usually acknowledge ge nerations for my own sanity but it got me thinking about how jim only knew spock for 25 years before he die#bones for 35ish#less than half his life. and then they just had to live on without him#spirk#mckirk#spones#bones and spock knew each other for far longer together than they were with jim#but they came together because of him#their relationship after he disappeared must have been in some way changed by his absence#and i really can't get over the fact that bones lived for so long as well. like he got to over double jim's age when he disappeared#they all probably thought they'd be together forever#and then.#and don't get me started on bones dying and spock immediately leaving for romulus#by my calculations (yes i did a shitton of maths for this and then took artistic liberty with the diagram anyway)#(yes i was also using rough guesstimate and headcanon for dates and ages bc canon is so conflicting)#they were all three together for 25 years. it was 28 years from jim taking command to him entering the nexus#minus three for the pre-Motion Picture divorce years. 25 years they actually got to be together as a triumvirate. not fucking fair.#also please note jim was 60 when he entered the nexus. bones lived to be 141 and spock got to 161. they were all together for 25 years.#i put the k/s overlap as only a few years because i haven't watched snw and figured there were probably only a few years cumulative where#they were together without bones being around too#mckirk overlap is roughly 11 years bc of personal headcanon that they were friends before the 5ym AHH BASTARD TUMBLR DELETED MY TAGS#Please see my reblog if you want the rest of these tags!!!

And if the echoes of music I can't seem to forget has taught me anything,
It's that life will continue to stumble on.
Through the chaos and guilt,
The heavy, bloodied burdens,
Chaining us to this earth,
Ripping into our flesh and changing our very shapes-
No longer the same as when your mother held you.
Much more twisted,
Broken and gnarled.
The clock will continue to tick in the silence,
Brushing your teeth in the dark,
Catching glimpses of the monster in that damned mirror,
That pitiful, disgraceful mirror-
Not even peace can comfort the broken.
No amount of kindness can save the damned.
I will always hunger for love,
Like holding the edge of a porcelain sink in your hands,
Until your knuckles turn just as white,
Until it cracks and begins to shatter,
And give way beneath your greed-
Always staring back at the bottomless pit inside yourself,
In pictures, in mirrors, in reflections,
The music continues to echo.
Take aim at me for once.
..I'm not a good person.
But life will continue to stumble on,
Whether or not I can get better is something I have yet to learn.

Jason blinked in surprise at the image that had been added to their groupchat. He recognized that face. In fact, you could say he knew it very intimately now.
After debating for a moment, he sent a reply. “I think I may have found ‘em”
“Do you still have a visual?”
Jason’s gaze flicked to the figure. Still asleep in bed next to him.
“…yes”
#anger management ship#or could be#dead on main ship#i tried to leave it ambiguous by avoiding gendered language#yep. Jason slept with their suspect.#he can never let the rest of the bats know. they’d never let him live this down.#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#danny phantom x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dpxdc prompt#dc x dp prompt#dcxdp prompt

Steve bites back a sigh when he sees a hand waving just out of the corner of his eye, trying to grab his attention from where Steve's gazing pitifully at his drink. The club is loud, music blasting, and maybe it's a little pathetic for Steve to be at his place of work on his day off, but Robin's behind the bar and he gets free drinks. Unfortunately, the kind of guys who frequent his workplace are usually the opposite of Steve's type.
So, he's prepared, for when he looks up, to gently let down whatever club boy who's decided to shoot their shot with him tonight. They all start to look the same to him: bleached hair, glitter, crop tops and low riding pants. Men who are too much like Steve to be what Steve's looking for.
When he looks up, however, his eyes go a little wide and his lips part from around the straw against his tongue.
"Hi!" yells the guy, long hair, long legs, long fingers. He's wearing way too much leather and denim for this place, and he must be boiling under that jacket. "W-would you like to dance?"
Steve takes a longer moment to take him in: his shoulders hunched up around his ears, fingers twisting his hair nervously, eyes big and brown and beautiful.
Straightening from where he's been hiding against the wall, Steve steps up into the guy's space, watches his eyes go bigger and his face go pink. He's perfect.
"I'm Steve," he says, leaning in so he can be heard over the music. "And you don't look like the kind of guy who dances."
"Oh, I'm not," the guy says, eyes flicking around Steve's face, dropping to Steve's chest, to his thighs and back up again. "Um, sorry. I'm Eddie."
Steve grins. "Nice to meet you, Eddie."
Eddie's mouth quirks up, an giddy, boyish smile. "P-pleasure's mine," he says. "And I may be terrible at it, but I'd love to dance with you. If you'd like."
"I would like," Steve tells him. He holds out his hand, feels his heart flutter when Eddie takes it. "I'd like that very much."
#stranger things#steddie#robin: completely ignoring customers staring avidly as this goes down#the rest of corroded coffin: literally biting their nails with anxiety edge of their seats then screaming and jumping and hugging#the entire club: absolutely roasting eddie's awkward wiggling while dancing#dw steve thinks it's cute#hi sorry just me returning from the front lines on leave i'll be returning to the trenches shortly SOBBING#my steddies
