How to Stay Motivated: Words of Encouragement and Inspiration

Motivation is what drives us to achieve our goals and aspirations. However, staying motivated is not always easy, and sometimes we need a little encouragement to keep us going. In this article, we will explore various words of encouragement and inspiration to help you stay motivated and achieve your dreams.

What is Motivation?

Motivation is the driving force that enables individuals to achieve their goals. It is what keeps us focused and driven to succeed despite obstacles and setbacks. Motivation can come from internal or external factors, and it can be influenced by various psychological and environmental factors.

★★★ HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY! ★★★

It’s that special time of year, folks–time for our annual TAU ficathon! But, what’s this… we’re turning 10 this year? That’s a milestone if I’ve ever heard one!

To celebrate, we’re going to offer a couple extras this year… we’ve got contests, raffles, and prizes! Here’s a quick peek at what’s going down this eventful birthday of ours:

Fanfic contest (with prizes!)

Fanart contest (with prizes!)

Three raffles!

Alcor charm preorder!

Here’s what the schedule is going to look like:

October 5th: Fanfic and fanart contests open! Alcor charm pre-orders open!

November 2nd: Alcor charm pre-order close + payment deadline

December 14th: Contest submissions close

December 21st: Contest winners and raffle winners announcements

Click the read more to see all the details of these events!

★ Fanfic contest ★

→ Submit your fic to the fanfic contest here! ← 

This time, you can submit your ficathon fic into a contest for some fun prizes!

The winner will receive:

An Alcor charm (free including shipping)

Their fic featured in the “Introduction to TAU” page soon to be unveiled

Art for their fic, drawn by TAU creator Zillychu

Bragging rights! 

Unlike the usual ficathon though, there is a theme all contestants will need to follow. 

☆☆☆ The theme for this contest is: Introduction to TAU! ☆☆☆

This means your fic can be read by anyone who has no prior knowledge of TAU, or even Gravity Falls! It also means you need to give the reader a taste of what TAU is all about – this includes:

Something that explains the Transcendence (or at least shows the reader that the supernatural is now commonplace – this can be achieved anywhere from a single sentence, to a major plot point)

Alcor’s general predicament of being a human-turned-immortal-demon (could be in conversation, or in the general narrative. Does not need to go into detail on the events that lead up to this, but it can!)

At least one familiar or common theme abundant in this AU, which includes but isn’t limited to: 

Family (however it’s defined), friendship, and platonic love

Finding joy amidst grief, hope despite loss

Demonology and eldritch terrors

Supernatural politics and how they fit into the mundane

The existential horror of being a human turned semi-omnipotent immortal demon who must fight the demonic desire for chaos vs. the human desire to pack bond with everything!

A wonderful example of this includes Mod K’s series Bentley & Friends! The story plants you in the center of the TAU world through the eyes of a character named Bentley, and slowly unveils the setting through his perspective. Bentley himself is familiar with a post-Transcendence world and Alcor’s reputation, but only comes to learn the truth about him and Mizar through ensuing shenanigans. 

Another example would be MaryPSue’s Return, Rewind, Rewrite, which starts with an emotional demon summoning, and follows characters who find they're more closely linked to the Transcendence than they expected. Remember: Showcasing the story of TAU through narratives and character interactions is always better than simply giving the reader a summary! 

Please note that there is no word minimum. Longer fics will generally leave a better impression on the mods, but quality will always trump quantity. 

Here’s a list of all the prerequisites for your fic when entering the fanfic contest:

Only one entry per person

Adheres to the contest theme

Only new work created after this announcement post (or within a month if tagged as anniversary content) will be accepted!

Is rated G to M (no explicit sexual content please!)

No word minimum

Is submitted via the Google form by December 14th

If you end up winning the contest, we will reach out to you for your name and address so we can send you your charm!

If you win the contest and you elect not to receive a charm, we will award the free charm to the runner-up.

★ Fanart contest ★

Not much of a writer, but still want to join in the festivities? Perhaps you’d like to write and do a little something extra?

★ And now... the true stars of our AU ★

That's everything for this year's celebration! But now, if you'll let me get a little emotional... I'd like to thank the heart and soul of the Transcendence AU:

You.

To all the fans of TAU, new and old. To everyone who spent years active in the fandom, to everyone who even briefly enjoyed TAU content in passing. To everyone who created fanfic and fanart, to those who created music and animated MAPs, to those who organized events and meet-ups, to everyone who reblogged and liked posts made by the TAU blog or any of TAU's wonderful fans.

Thank you. You created this AU. You created something more than an idea. You created a community. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

From the bottom of my little rat heart, I love you all. From all the mods of the TAU blog, we thank you! Here's to another ten wonderful years!

today is bill cipher’s 10th anniversary of introduction make sure to tell him happy birthday

💫: What do you mean, you don't know?? How can you not know your own BIRTHDAY!

⚠️: Emergence day!

💫: Whatever.

⚠️: It was a trillion years ago in another dimension on a calendar system that ceased to exist before your universe began! Throw in time travel and relativity and I have no idea what the date would be on your calendar!

💫: Well... do you want to celebrate it on any specific day?

⚠️: Not really!

💫: Hmm...

⚠️: Kid, I'm flattered by the edible effigy, but what's the occasion?

💫: Since you don't have a birthday, I thought we could celebrate it on the day we met you! It was that or the day you physically came to Gravity Falls, but I thought this anniversary was less traumatic for everybody.

⚠️: Oh.

💫: What do you think? Do you like it?

⚠️: You're a few days early, though.

💫: It's close enough!

Ten Years Against Fascism: Star vs. The Forces of Evil in 2025

Today is the 10th anniversary of the premiere of Star vs. the Forces of Evil.

During the 2010s, Disney had a pretty epic run of extremely high-quality YA animation series. They were characterized by being intensely creator-driven, and beginning as humorous episodic adventure shows that eventually morphed into strongly serialized affairs focusing on plot and character development. That run was kicked off with 2012’s Gravity Falls, and would come to an end in 2023 with the abrupt cancellation of The Owl House. Their sophomore outing, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, premiered on January 18th, 2015 on the Disney Channel, before beginning its regular run later that spring on Disney XD.

Of the “big four” series of that era (Gravity Falls, SVTFOE, Amphibia, and The Owl House) SVTFOE is probably regarded as the weakest, and is the least well-remembered and engaged with a decade later. It was far from bad; at the time it was one of Disney’s hottest hits, with crazy high ratings, heavily promoted, with celebrity guest voices (they brought in the lead singer of Fallout Boy to perform music), tie-in books and comics, the works. But it suffered from a flabby last season and an ending that left almost nobody happy. If you look at fandom engagement and the prevalence of fanworks compared to any of the other three series on that list, it isn’t even close to which one lags behind.

And that’s a damn shame, in my opinion, because I re-watched the series in its entirety in preparation to write this post, and SVTFOE slaps hard.

Let’s take a look back at this magical princess from another dimension.

SVTFOE starts off in a fairly direct and nearly formulaic way; frenetic humor, big personalities, straightforward plots that grow out of wacky premises. (Essentially the Adventure Time playbook, really.) It dispenses with secret identities and the pretense that this is taking place in anything other than a fantastic setting. Take Star Butterfly, magical teenage princess from the dimension of Mewni. Give her a wand and a distinct lack of self-control. Send her to Earth and high school and pair her with a straight man. Sic a bunch of monsters who want to GET THAT WAND on her. Let the hijinks ensue.

I mean, hell. Star Butterfly turns her math teacher into a literal magical ogre in the second episode, and she stays that way for the entirety of the series. It’s just… whatever. That’s how it rolls.

That was the premiere, in 2015. In fact, said premiere is still available in its entirety on Youtube, even if you don't have Disney+. The first ten minutes are worth your time as an example of "how to immaculately pace your show" if nothing else.

Wacky and fun and as light and airy as strawberry soda, yeah?

By the series finale in 2019, Star Butterfly was conducting surgery on the universe because the magical powers that were the source of her family's entire identity for hundreds of years had in fact been a tool of conquest, imperialism, genocide, and terror, and in order to prevent a mass campaign of ethnic cleansing she has to detonate them, because her power, privilege, and identity are less important than basic justice.

It was a hell of a ride to get there.

*      *      *

Before we get into the giant myth arc, the political drama, and some of the shipping stuff, I want to jump into a big under discussed aspect, and strength, of SVTFOE; its willingness and ability to be gross and weird and filthy on a lot of different levels.

The animation is the obvious place to start with here; it was rather unique, at the time. All of the big four series of the 2010s adopted very obvious anime-inspired aesthetics; big eyes, small mouths and noses, thick black borders on characters and objects (as opposed to the thinner linework on something like Phineas and Ferb or Kim Possible) with lots of solid, bright, contrasting colors to make things pop. But SVTFOE went in its own direction away from this “house style,” by adopting an explicitly Ren and Stimpy inspired level of being willing to squash, stretch, and deform its characters. There’s an entirely deliberate grossness about it. Smash cuts to peoples fucked-up faces and arms, often covered in pustules and leaking all kinds of fluids, were common. 

It’s a much grosser show in this regard than even Amphibia, and Amphibia takes place in the middle of a disgusting swamp and features at least three characters with poison skin; SVTFOE out-grosses it.

This is unusual for a Disney show. What was also unusual was how filthy it was willing to get, and when I say filthy I mean “this is a show with a predominantly teen cast, and it wasn’t afraid to lean into how thirsty and horny and emotionally twisted up and weird teens can be.”

Let me put it this way. This is a show that wasn’t afraid to show a bunch of high school girls flocking around a boy’s tentacle arm, cooing over it and remarking how they want a tentacle boyfriend.

Yeahhhhhh. That's... look at Janna there, in the middle. The animators knew what they were doing.

Shows of this type (by which I mean TV-Y7 rated shows intended for a primarily Young Adult audience) don’t eschew romance. But it tends to be… very chaste, and very straightforward. Love triangles can be a thing, sure. But usually it isn’t messy, and characters who are weird about it usually have it played for laughs or are depicted as warped or wrong in some way. “Girl character is a crazy stalker girl that lets us make a few Fatal Attraction jokes the parents will get” is practically a trope. (I’m looking in your direction, Mabel Pines.)

That isn’t how SVTFOE rolls.

Star, herself, is a deeply thirsty person in the way that only someone who is fourteen can be thirsty, and the show basically revels in that. She is not traditionally boy-crazy, adopting the aforementioned stalker-style behavior and suddenly becoming a dumb idiot when romance is in the air. Rather, she is a fourteen year old with an active desire for romance who the show allows to be quite open about it (by Disney standards) when she sees someone whose abs she wants to run her face up and down on. Her dumb decisions aren’t “I will entirely deform my personality for the cardboard cutout of a boy I have a crush on” but rather “my ex has invited me on a date, and he is very cool and my feelings about him are ambivalent, so I will accept against my better judgement.”

The show is very up-front that parts of it are a straight-up romantic drama; Scott Pilgrim is specifically cited by the showrunner as an inspiration and influence. Things get messy. People cheat on each other. There are multiple love triangles. People hurt each other and are hurt in turn in ways that, despite them happening in the context of demon battles and court intrigue, are highly believable as “these are things that teens in high-stress situations would do with, for, and TO each other.”

This isn’t something you’re going to get from just about any other show, especially any other Disney show. Those shows usually involve straightforward meet-cutes, adorable crushes, unrequited love played largely for laughs (Phineas and Ferb) or at best a well-executed enemies-to-lovers arc (The Owl House.) That’s when they bother with romance and, yes, let’s be blunt, lust at all. Teens in mainstream YA fiction tend to often be either curiously sexless, or sexy desires are portrayed as kind of gross and weird and shameful.

SVTFOE allows its cast of colorful adolescent weirdos to get filthy with each other. This is still a Disney show; nobody is getting to second base or, god forbid, having premarital adolescent sex. But it really goes the extra mile and it feels real. It feels raw, in a way most other mainstream shows of this sort never, ever do. One of the bigger and more important sub-plots is literally about how sexy miscegenation between a queen and her sexy monster man lover she committed adultery with might bring down a whole kingdom, and this isn’t portrayed as shameful or said queen a disgusting harlot in any way. 

Speaking of the queen of darkness…

*   *   *

One of the big narrative strengths of accomplishing the shows transition from episodic adventures to longer, more serious arcs was establishing ridiculous setting conceits as jokey fun things, and then later revealing them to be of serious, critical importance.

The magical princess has an overbearing mother, just like regular teenage girls! How will they learn to communicate? (Her mother is overbearing because their family line has DONE SOME SHIT.)

Aww, this twelve-minute episode is devoted to Star meeting one of her heroes, who is mysteriously living as a hobo on Earth, and trying to be her apprentice until she realizes that her hero is a bag of mixed nuts. The larfs! (Said hero is an ancient genocide engine and a walking war crime, and will secretly be the series final boss.)

Monsters are trying to steal the magic wand! Fights ensue! (The monsters are trying to steal the magic wand because the humans have magic, the monsters don’t, and the humans have been using that magic to impose a racial hierarchy.)

Star goes through magic-inflected puberty and becomes boy crazy! (The magic inflected puberty is because her family has been fucked up on a basic level by constant exposure to magic and is dangerous and deadly.)

The queen of darkness had returned from her terrible crystal prison! She’s corrupting the youths! (The queen of darkness is a wrongly convicted political prisoner and  the most empathetic, concerned, responsible adult in the whole show.)

All of this is slowly unpeeled over the course of four seasons. Almost everything that shows up as a total joke in season one will turn out to be fairly plot-relevant by season four. Again, the Adventure Time playbook. And it serves as an underpinning to the series main political thrust.

Because, yeah, SVTFOE is an intensely, almost uniquely, political series.

*    *   *

The politics in Disney shows tend to be paper-thin. They’re functionally nonexistent in Gravity Falls, for example, except as jokes. Amphibia and The Owl House approach them through bog-standard “fight the evil empire” lenses. (Yeah, I’m sorry, fellow Owl House fans, Emperor Belos is a great villain but his religious-inflected bigotry is very much soft pedaled; he’s functionally Palpatine in so many ways.)

SVTFOE doesn’t do that. SVTFOE faces this shit head on.

The show starts as basically “Oh, the goofy, somewhat comedic, but also very threatening monsters are obvious villains, out to steal magic for their own nefarious ends.” The theme songs and opening credits and basic structure of the show all support this. Then they pull back the curtain a little bit, and it's like “Oh, okay. The monsters are fully fleshed-out characters and some of them will be Star’s friends. Aww, they have cute monster kids she babysits for!”

Then they pull it back further, and further, and further, until eventually what is made clear to the viewers is that Star Butterfly’s magical kingdom of Mewni is a colonizing force. They have magic. (And corn!) The monsters do NOT have magic. (Or corn.) The humans therefore view themselves as having a manifest destiny to subjugate, drive out, or exterminate the monsters. In the service of this, the Queens of Mewni have at times used their magic to attempt to develop spells of mass destruction, create super-soldiers, and other such mayhem. There have been people who tried to stop it. Those people have their names smeared, are imprisoned in a kind of endless living death for the crime of miscegenation, and have their legacies erased from history.

This isn’t really a giant secret anyone has been concealing, some horrible revelation. (For the most part. There are… SOME horrible revelations.) It’s just part of the background noise. Star never really questions it until one day when she does. She has the privilege for it to be something she doesn’t need to engage with.

And when she tries to stop it, it isn’t easy. The show is very up-front about that! There is no single source of evil that Star can point her magical wand at and make go away by blasting it with multicolored sprinkle unicorn lasers. It’s a constant, unending miasma she has to try and plow through. When not met with hostility, she is met with indifference, which in some ways obviously cuts her even deeper. Her own mother, the walking embodiment of centrist idiocy, becomes so nervous about the social change Star is trying to usher in that she makes common cause with straight-up genocidal fascists.

(A lot of people think the show engaged in character assassination of Queen Moon. I say that given her background, personality, and place in the world Moon’s actions were entirely overdetermined.)

The show is not subtle about this. The physical embodiment of this is a seemingly goofy, out-of-it crusty old relic of bygone days, who clearly is not that smart, has several screws loose, and can’t utter three sentences without it seeming like her brain is going to leak out of her ears.

She seems entirely unthreatening until you discover she’s a thin shell of humanity over a bottomless lake of hate… and that all she has to do is start saying things like “Our Kingdom used to be great! But not anymore!” and she’ll get many worshipful followers willing to do whatever she says, and what she says is “ethnically cleanse Mewni.”

The final climax of the show, which remains endlessly controversial to this day, presents Star with a choice. Magic and the use thereof is central to her, her history, her family, and the life she leads. But magic has been an absolute nightmare for everyone but a thin slice of privileged humans, who are the only ones who can use it and who have the literal embodiments of its various aspects dedicated to upholding their racial supremacy, and a horde of magical crazies have juiced themselves up on it and are going buck wild with the aforementioned ethnic cleansing.

So Star just destroys it. She removes access to magic from the universe, despite the personal cost.

The hell of it is, and this honestly the bravest decision the show ever made, was that this doesn’t secure victory. You can’t kill bigotry like that. Sure, Star stopped it and removed its most powerful tool… this time. All it does is scuttle off into the woods and wait.

“You can get rid of me. It’s soooooo easy. But the sweet thing is… I’ll never really be gone. ‘Cause I’ve got GOOD IDEAS.”

So yeah, that was SVTFOE. It was brave, and bold, and achingly relevant, and despite its flaws doesn’t deserve the bad rap the final season got.

Here’s to ten years of fighting the forces of evil. Because if there’s one thing you should take away from the show, it’s that that fight never ends, but there’s meaning and even joy and love in the struggle.

It’s finally the 10th anniversary of one of my favorite Gravity Falls episodes, Dreamscaperers!

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN!

This year, continuing the GF 10th Anniversary celebrations, I decided to do a kind of tribute to some of the show’s minor characters through the group’s Summerween costume choices!  I’d be surprised if you can’t guess all of these, but I’ll put the key below a read-more below (which also serves as a descriptive image ID.)

Also, bonus:

(The bonus is Xyler and Craz, dressed as the grunkles who are dressed like them.  Xyler is wearing Stan’s suit and fez, while Craz is wearing Ford’s tan trenchcoat, red sweater, black pants and brown boots.  They are doing their “fun dance” from Dreamscaperers.)

From left to right, above:

Fiddleford as Tyler Cutebiker (the “puma shirt / panther shirt” returning in the next season is one of my favorite little sight-gags in the show).

Ford as Dreamboy Craz, talking to Fiddleford.  (Going the extra mile with the dyed hair! Mabel helped.)

Stan as Dreamboy Xyler.

Wendy as Deep Chris from Sev’ral Timez, talking to Melody and Soos.

Melody as Bud Gleeful, seated on the couch next to Soos as Bats Biker.  (Annoyed at myself for this one; realized way too late that the pose I’d chosen for Soos and Melody would block the actual “BATS” tattoo.)

Below:

Grenda as Manly Dan.

Candy as Toby Determined.

Dipper as Farmer Sprott.

Mabel as Quentin Trembley.

Pacifica as the Mattress King.

(Background is a screenshot-redraw/adaptation, of the Shack’s back porch, with the couch, and various decorations for Summerween, like a jack o’ melon, and eye-bat decorations.  Xyler and Craz are, obviously I think, based directly on their fun dance in Dreamscaperers.  I have a real soft spot for those boys.)
