Me: *acknowledges needing money*

Me: *acknowledges should open commissions*

Me: *acknowledges to do that, needs to make a pricing sheet*

Me: ….ehhhh, maybe tomorrow. *does nothing forever*

Randy thinks he can destroy KO? Yeah fam, sorry but that ain’t happening. Just be real, you want him out of the way so you can go after Cody’s championship. You ain’t hiding it, everyone knows your patterns wayyy too well at this point. Just do the thing, Orton. Listen to the voices.

Also: not everything has to be pass/fail.

Sometimes, things can just be fun. I know that we’ve all had the idea of “if it’s not bringing you financial gain/boosting your public image or status/providing you with more education or training/some other productive good, it’s bad and a waste of time” beaten into us by our cultures, but rest for the sake of rest and pleasure for the sake of pleasure aren’t bad things. In fact, they’re both incredibly important things that make a huge impact on your physical and mental health.

Who cares if your fic isn’t getting literary agents pounding down your door to adapt into an original novel or your art isn’t in the MOMA. Did it bring YOU joy? If the answer is yes, then it was successful at doing the most important thing it can do. Everything else, whether it’s making other people happy or bringing you acclaim and profit or developing your skills or becoming resume fodder or whatever else is just icing on the cake.

This is a hard lesson to unlearn, but your pleasure, for the sake of nothing more or less than just pleasure itself, is a good unto itself. Whether that’s making an entire sheet pan of brownies to eat by yourself because you could or making the most self indulgent “bad” art or taking a day off of everything and sitting in your favorite local park watching the cute dogs walking by, you don’t need to justify yourself to the gods of productivity. Rest matters. Fun matters. Because they’re good things in their own right, because they are vitally important to your health and wellbeing, because we don’t deserve to live our entire lives in captivity without even a little bit of enrichment because we don’t even do that shit to zoo animals at even remotely ethical zoos, because your brain actually will work better after you give it time to properly rest and enjoy life instead of trying to make every waking moment about progress, whatever reason you want

It’s just life: have some fun with it.

You have to stop ruining things for yourself preemptively because you believe they’ll fail anyway. Give yourself a chance to succeed.

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I have a cry response to stress that often comes up in medical situations. I've had to tell well-meaning doctors, nurses, phlebotomists-- you name it-- "yes I know I'm crying but if it's not stopping you from doing what you gotta do then just do it! It'll be easier on both of us I promise."

It hurts. It sucks. Just get it over with and I'll get my shit together after the fact.

Y'know, some people do have a strong crying response to stress, and they might cry (even against their own will) when faced with an upsetting situation and that doesnt mean they are “gaslighting” or “manipulating” you.

There are people who use crying as a manipulation tactic? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean that every person that cries during a heated argument is trying to get under your skin. They have their own emotions and issues, and frankly, not everything other people do is a personal attack on you.

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back
