#new years intentions

[latenightsushi]

my new year intentions for 2024 are pretty simple, but hopefully I can build on them throughout the year:

spend more time with family

invest more in relationships that are fulfilling and reciprocal and less in relationships that are frustrating and one-sided

save money to put towards financial goals 🤑

cultivate a robust emotional ecosystem and maintain my peace

Sharing my intentions for 2024. The only one I’d change is #2, because I would change “every day” to “more.” I usually try and make my intentions low pressure and attainable! Every day is probably unattainable for me and I don’t need to set myself up for feeling like a failure.

As many of you know, I am a big NPR listener, and they're very good, at the end of the year, about writing stories about goals and goal setting and wrapping up the year.

Yesterday, on Consider This, they did a whole episode about how to make better New Year's Resolutions. I hope everyone listens to the whole 19 minute podcast episode, but one of the takeaways from the experts they spoke to was the idea of being broad and inclusive and setting what are more intentions than stated goals. In this way, they explained, there is no failure - only small bits of progress that can unfold quickly or slowly as part of a larger process of becoming.

Does anyone have an intentions for this year they want to share? (Another part of successful goal setting is accountability.) Mine is to continue to embrace creativity and a creative life, and to take time for myself this year in whatever forms that comes in.

Finding the Way Home the start of a very long journey

it's been a near ten years since he left for home: trudging the trails on the journey of self-actualization. she's been caught up in many a storms, with winds that'll rip a roof off; she knows of tirage and tying oneself to a place's foundation. hunker. hope. the choice between existence or death.

they have shed so many selves, and grieved all of them. their now-self has hands and a body finally big enough and strong enough to take their long-ago-self up into their arms. her long-ago-self was so small, so scared, so shaken. that self has long-ago-wounds that the caretakers never took care of. but he can heal them now. he can take that small, sad self and hold its small hand. he can walk the long-ago-self through the wounds, and teach it how to heal each one. he will accompany that long-ago-self through the selves it will become, until long-ago-self is no longer needed. until the only self is the one that exists right now. the entirety of self.

She is holding space for all of the new things she is growing into. all of the new things he is growing into. they.

a new name. a new body. a new voice. a new way of being.

she is becoming. but there is so much work to do. the work is grueling, but also miraculous. the beautiful way in which humans constantly grow.

he is now finding the way home: undoing the fractures. reconnecting. building and maintaining momentum.

they are brave. they are unrelenting. they are reclaiming. they are finding their way home; home is themselves.

IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY BITCHES (yes I know it's almost over shh 🤫)

Now could this have been 4 panels with Hans just plopping down on the couch, patting Levi on the shoulder and saying ''Yo I'm knocked up'', and then carrying on with their evening?

Why yes, yes indeed. But where's the struggle in that ? :')

The Green brothers are doing effective altruism better than maybe 95% of people who identify online as effective altruists.

my biggest off-season hobby is watching old races and when commentary alludes to some rosquez crimes in another session i immediately abandon the race to find out what attention seeking horrors they were embroiled in and nine times out of ten they’re just hilarious like what was this please

[tennessoui]

it’s like baby gorl there’s no way I, the author who wrote the fic you’re commenting on and who is the intended audience for this comment, am gonna agree with you 😿🙏 some things can just stay on your chest 🙏

PLEASE STOP COPYING FICS ‼️

I am by no means gatekeeping concepts or tropes. We all know that it’s normal to see the same tropes or AUs be used differently, and that is not plagiarism. However, I recently found a fic that was oddly similar to my old (and discontinued) Gojo x Reader series, Reckless. The CEO! Gojo is nothing new, and neither is an accidental pregnancy trope. The only reason I am concerned is because this Gojo series I found has the exact same themes as Reckless that consists of: a playboy CEO Gojo with a very notorious reputation, a poor reader who is an employee and asset to the company (someone who works closely with Gojo), reader getting knocked up from a one night stand with Gojo, reader with a seemingly dead/absent mother yet still in contact with her father, Gojo with a very traditional family who does not like reader, and Gojo with an ex he struggles to let go of - which are all elements of Reckless.

The first chapter of that Gojo fic is also eerily similar to my first chapter with the same flow of: YN finding out she’s pregnant and her friend being there for her, Gojo saying he’ll take responsibility because ‘they both made the baby’, YN having to move in with Gojo to take care of the baby, and both of them coming to a mutual agreement that their ‘relationship’ will be purely for the baby’s benefit. The flow of events and specific details about the characters’ backgrounds are too similar to mine.

Again, I am not gatekeeping concepts, just as how I’ve had other writers ask me if they could write their own stories or takes based off of the NAOYA’S TROPHY WIFE COLLECTION or the BONTEN HUSBANDS EXCLUSIVE, and I’m fine with that. I’m even happy people are inspired by what I write. But being inspired is completely different from taking someone’s story and posting it as yours. Please trust your own creativity and skills in writing. You can write amazing stories and have people love them without having to steal from others.

It’s sad to say this is not the first time I, and other writers, have been plagiarized. It’s even more upsetting to know that a friend of mine who has also written a Gojo series (that I’m sure you all know and dearly love) experiences the same issues with the same person. The fact that this is happening to many writers out there is disheartening. We work hard and pour a lot of love in the stories we create. None of us are getting paid for this, and we simply want to share our passions with others. So please, let us be kinder with one another and show love and support the right way. If you love a fic, you give feedback and rb/comment + show support to the writer. You don’t steal their ideas and play it off as your own because you liked it.
