The real magic that angel revealed to Solomon was how to format a journal that vibes with my type of neurodivergence. Truly some great knowledge.

Stanford never became friends with Fiddleford.

Instead he got himself a different small friend group who cares a lot about him. At least about the Ford he pretended to be in college.

A kind, soft spoken formerly bullied genius who researches very dull stuff in Oregon and definitely not anything weird. Their Ford would never break any rules or ignore safety measures [unlike that other student they heard about during their college years.]

And then Ford stops answering their calls and loses his grant. 

It’s time for an intervention and they start pestering Ford with letters and calls until he finally agrees to meet them at a science convention, but he’ll take his brother with him.

They’re relieved! Ford is with Shermie! They like Shermie! It's a good thing that Ford still has one brother who isn't a good for nothing selfish criminal who destroyed his entire future!

If they ever get their hands on Ford’s evil twin they’ll make sure he’ll regret ever messing with their friend. Ford is too nice for revenge. They aren’t.

Meanwhile at the not-yet Mystery Shack, the Stans freshly survived their own angsty canon divergent tale of two stans AU and locked Bill out of Ford's mind like a week ago.

Stan: I don’t know how long Ford will keep me around but this will be good for him. He needs some friends to take care of him after I inevitably get kicked out again!

Ford: I only agreed to this because Stan insisted and I still haven’t found a way to thank him and apologize. I hope all my “friends” die in a fire.

Of Godsons, Fruitloops, and Lois 'I will drag all secrets out into the sun' Lane

Danny loses his parents due to their own lack of safety in the lab (death? Coma? People finally putting their foot down about the Fenton's endangering their kids? Idk pick). Jazz can't take him in due to being in college and living on its campus (and he didnt want to force her into an apartment just to keep him, he saw the prices and knows she'll have to work to make rent) and Danny fears the only place he can go to is... Vlad. (Sam's parents would never let him live with her and Tucker's place doesn't have the room)

Vlad's been lording it over Danny, smug about it all, after all he IS Danny's godfather and he has the space and money to provide for the boy in his time of need.

Only, when digging into Danny's files, his social worker discovers Vlad isn't Danny's godfather, he was meant to be but the Fenton's forgot to send/sign in the final paperwork (even if those documents were the only contact they had with Vlad over the years before the reunion)

No Danny's godparent, the person to take him should anything happen to the Fenton's is....

Lois Lane.

His mom's childhood friend.

☀️Morning Pages☀️| Journaling

- “the bedrock tool of creative recovery”

🔗 Come join our journaling community here on tumblr! 🔗

‘Morning Pages’ is a simple technique by Julia Cameron covered in her book The Artist’s Way intended to clear the mind of any brain clutter that stunts your creativity and productivity. This technique is loved by many because it’s helped them work through creative blocks, sort and prioritize their ideas, and reduce their anxiety.

Method:

Morning Pages involves starting your day by filling three pages in long-hand writing with your stream of consciousness—don’t think about what to write, write about what you think. You write without interruptions or distractions. You don’t correct it share it, you don’t even have to read it once you’re done!

“Does it have to be three full pages?”

No, of course not! While Julia Cameron recommends three pages of A4-sized paper, there is no wrong or right way. Adjust this method to your needs, whether this means writing more or less, setting a timer instead of a page limit, doing evening pages unread of morning, or taking breaks between days.

Key Words: stream of consciousness, longhand writing, brain clutter

Bellow I elaborated with key terms, tips, tricks, helpful video and article links, and my personal experience.

Stream of consciousness means writing nonstop whatever pops into your mind without worrying about grammar, legibility, or comprehensiveness. It’s about recording flow of your thoughts onto paper as they happen spontaneously.

Longhand writing is simply the practice of hand writing on physical paper. This practice is recommended as it forces you to be mentally present in the writing process, slowing your thoughts so you may record record and reflect on them.

Brain clutter consists of all the “noise” you have in your mind. They can be your self doubts, your insecurities, your stress, ideas… Often, this noise creates a mental block that restricts your creativity and productivity.

Tips:

Pens over pencils, the permanence of ink will deter you from the urge to erase or back track

Use a comfortable, smooth flowing and quick drying pen to better your experience

Listen to music to aid your focus, non lyrical songs are recommended

Start small. You don’t need to start with three pages, work your way up to it, or,

instead of setting a page goal set a time goal.

It doesn’t have to be in the morning, choose a time of day that best suits you, like before bed.

Getting through obstacles:

“I don’t know what to write.” That’s your first sentence! Go from there. Look at morning page prompts before you begin if needed.

“I’m having trouble being consistent.” Dont be afraid to adjust your goal to more manageable levels. But also: Building a habit is hard, but try to pass the three day mark. You’ll find that it’s easier the longer you keep it up

“I’m ashamed of my writing.” This is a personal, private journal that is not meant to be shared. It’s not meant to be pretty. Heck, it’s not even meant to be read. It’s meant to empty all your brain clutter so you may continue onto your day with clarity.

“I tried it but I find it torturous.” That’s okay! You’re not doing it wrong, it’s just not a good technique for you. There are so many other journaling methods to explore. You’ll know when you find the right one because you’ll feel good after doing it.

My personal experience:

As a person who has always struggled with deep rooted anxieties, stress, and even anger, I find this method therapeutic. I started doing morning pages this March and here are my thoughts 23 days after.

Brain clutter has become the major source of my self limitations. These inner thoughts of mine that loop in my brain endlessly with worries and doubts have prevented me from doing even the most mundane of tasks.

Starting my day writing without concern of the outcome has left me feeling lighter. Like I can breathe. I take those inner voices, everything that’s bouncing around right when my day starts, put them on paper and shut my notebook. They don’t disappear, it’s not a cure all, but they’re quieter. I’m able to sort through them better and in turn organize myself so I can tackle the day.

It’s not only the negative, though. For me, the first page or two may start that way and then I run out of worries to write about—which actually make them seem so much more finite and manageable than first perceived. Then I have to pick my brain and force the last of my thoughts onto paper. They’re so much less profound and heavy, some silly even.

I write about what I’m exited about, interrupt myself as my brain goes into a tangent, circle back and talk about what I have planned for the day, talk about the dream I had the night before.

I’ve missed 3 days in total since I began, and at that point I had developed the habit enough that it would be on my mind nagging me as I tried to fall asleep. Sometimes I would write more than three A5 pages, sometimes I would write less, and that worked for me. It was more about venting until I could focus on what my thoughts were beneath the dark gunk.

I will continue doing morning pages, allowing myself to miss a day here and there, unless it keeps me from falling asleep in which case I’ll do them in the evening to wind down. I’m curious to see if doing these pages before bed will help me with my sleep.

What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

okay so. jack! jack. what a collection of guys. the overlap between jack and the beanstalk and jack the giant killer, though. that sure is something! sometimes king arthur is there, which always takes me by surprise.

this. specifically. is an idea I've been kicking around. jack and the beanstalk is not a story I've ever enjoyed, as a kid it was probably my least favorite to read. as an adult, I was INTENSELY fascinated by reading j.g. ballard's the drowned giant. I think about it frequently, and somewhere during a re read of it, I ended up revisiting jack.

combining different versions of jack into one character is not a new concept, but it IS a fun one! the version I've been assembling together plays less with the fun elements of a jack story (and adjacent folklore stories), and focuses more on the potential for tragic elements with the addition of the usual grim and jagged narrative edges that I personally enjoy.

jack with the backstory of the devil and the three golden hairs, only jack doesn't find love, he's TIRED, all he wants to do is go home, but there isn't a home to go back to. what is the point of being born lucky if this is what it gets you? jack the giant killer, only he doesn't want to kill giants, jack who saw a body of a giant when he was a small child and cannot bring himself to do as a king commands. jack, who climbs up the beanstalk and stops halfway to look down. etc.

to go back to the drowned giant real quick, both to set the tone about jack seeing the body of a giant as a youth, and also because I've been haunted and obsessed with this excerpt of it ever since I read it:

J. G. Ballard, The Drowned Giant

anyway! this was originally like, a two illustration concept to get out of my system. however. I'm halfway through outlining a narrative. so. maybe it will also be several illustrations and also comic.

Can I get a ☁️🎨and a ⛓️🎨? Some duality up in here lol

Hello Hello, yes you may!

And two, wow it's time to get the gears turning. Let's see

For the fluff prompt: Character A is making snow angels!!!

And for the angst prompt: Character A is on their knees, something precious to them is in their hands (maybe it's broken) and they are crying. Character B stands with their hand on their shoulder, maybe their face is out of frame to show their indifference and dejected nature towards the situation

I hope those get rid of your art block (yes I saw your reblog)! And please tag me when you've made them. I would love to see these!

A winter so cold. It doesn’t even think of the people inside the eye. I remember that day, the day my brother came and the person I looked up to left. It snowed and he was clueless. That day was Unfortunate. But since it’s the past, no one cares about how I’m doing..
