ok but with venom 3 getting delayed because of the sag-aftra strike, now would be the PERFECT time for people to make fan art of venom biting the heads off of those greedy production company ceo's along with "EAT THE RICH" written in big, bold letters

what are you waiting for ?

i want to ask you something and i need you to take a moment to let the question sink in. what are you waiting for? what are you waiting for before you finally decide to manifest your desires? what is it that keeps you from embodying your desired state of mind? i‘ll rephrase my question: who is stopping you from achieving your goals? i‘m pretty sure you know the answer. it’s you. it’s you, it has been you and will only ever continue to be you. i know, for people who recently got into the law of assumption this may sound like an eye-opening or life-changing epiphany, but i‘m also addressing those who have known about the law but had trouble applying it or remaining consistent with their focus since.

see, when you get the essence of manifesting, you eventually get to the point where you understand that you have not only manifested your entire past, but continue to do so as you live and experience life. you never really stop manifesting as you never stop being. that sounds pretty refreshing if you ask me, because it implies that you could change your state of being at any given time. and that’s what i dearly want to remind you of. that you can change — whenever you want — and don’t have to wait for anything else to fall in place for you.

there is no perfect timing, …

now, "the perfect timing" does not exist. you do not only manifest your desires when you feel the best (you in fact always manifest in any mood and not whenever you feel happy) or only after you have done a meditation or only once you have sacrificed 2 hours of your life affirming. you know what this type of thinking is called? conditioning. you are unnecessarily conditioning your desires, thinking you will only ever be able to materialize them once a certain thing happens or once a specific thing occurs. doesn’t that sound tiring? and the worst part about this is, you are only postponing your desire by doing so, creating an even bigger distance between you and your desire. therefore, it’s not only tiring but unfounded as well. no one is telling you to wait to manifest your desire, but you.

time does not exist when manifesting. just to let you know. you can fully relax, knowing that you are not only in control of space but also time. you are doing just fine. and no one is expecting you to get everything you want either. no one is bashing you for not being able to get your manifestations right away, simply because you can. you are doing your best and that is enough. and that is what i always like to keep in mind: in manifesting, the most important thing you need to do is to be kind and gentle with yourself.

… there is only time.

all you have is time and what you choose to do with it. there‘s only you, your consciousness in a human body, made out of blood and flesh, that can be changed at any given time, just like your circumstances and your entire environment that surrounds you. so, whenever you feel ready to try again, you should do that. don’t be too harsh to yourself. your "failures" do not determine your life, nor does the so called "wasted amount of time" (which does not exist ffs). it doesn’t matter how many times you have to "restart your journey" or completely "revamp your mindset" in order to be in your wished state and embody the thoughts you desire to have. it‘s your life and your’s only. why not make it the best it can possibly be?

with love, ella.

What are you waiting for?

“What are you waiting for?”

We hear this one when someone else thinks that we should be doing something. Usually when what we need to be doing is painfully obvious. At least to them.

It’s said (often with some exasperation) to get us going. So that we’ll start doing something. Finally.

The thing is, if that’s all we think “what are you waiting for” is about, then we’re missing the deeper sense of it. Which is what Jesus plays out for us in today’s Gospel.

Because what you and I are waiting for impacts not just what we do, but what we think. And who we become.

If we’re waiting for the worst. Because we’re afraid.

Then what we do, what we think, and who we become will reflect that fear.

If we’re waiting to go off. Because we’re angry.

Then what we do, what we think, and who we become will reflect that rage.

If we’re waiting for nothing. Because we think what we do doesn’t matter.

Then what we do, what we think, and who we become will reflect that emptiness.

But if we’re waiting for God. Because we know that in God we can make a difference – now and in eternity.

Then what we do, what we think, and who we become will reflect that hope.

Because what you and I are waiting for impacts not just what we do, but what we think. And who we become.

So, what are you waiting for?

Or, maybe the better question, Who?

asksender reporting for duty! 🫡

for the latest fic ask set: 5, 7, 8, and 15 please!!!

(also, please please take all the rest time you want/need!!! you gave us a Feast, now it is time for rest and recuperation 💕💕💕)

OKAY I'M FEELING LIKE ANSWERING SOME ASKS SO HERE WE GO I'M STARTING WITH THIS ONE FROM AN OLDER GAME BECAUSE IT'S BEEN HERE IN MY ASK BOX FOR LIKE 3 WEEKS

(i heard you say I can take as long as I need in one of your more recent ones, I just didn't internalize it which isn't your fault 💚)

technically the latest fic I had posted when I reblogged this was Scars and Stitches BUT right before that I posted What Are You Waiting For? which is FAR more interesting to me SO I'm answering for that one because rules are fake and I feel like it.

5. How do you decide how long your fics/chapters will be? Do you have a word count goal?

Ha. Ha! I don't decide anything. Do you all think I'm out here deciding that my next update for Know Yourself should be 18k words?? Of course not.

Here's how it goes: I tell any given chapter what I think should happen. The chapter says "hmmmm, maybe. We'll see." Then I beg the chapter to please please please please please not be over 10k words. It gives me a smile like it thinks I'm adorable for even asking when we both damn well know that the chapter will do whatever it wants, and what I want has nothing to do with it. And then either the chapter takes mercy on me (like it did in this fic) or it Does Not (like it is doing in Know Yourself).

7. What part of this fic/chapter was the most fun to write? 

Honestly, the whole first chapter. There's just something about the way it flows that I feel so good about 💚

8. Which line/paragraph are you most proud of? Why are you proud of this? 

But the strangest thing is how everyone believes Jason anyways. Just like that.  Then again, Dick is backing him up, so of course they believe him. Everyone believes Goldie, all of the time. He just flashes that gorgeous smile like a fucking master key, and Jason’s always been a tiny bit jealous that everyone else turned out so goddamn endearing.  Not that being intimidating doesn’t have its uses, but sometimes he can’t ignore how much easier certain things would be if his edges were just a little less sharp.

This whole section. I think it's just that this is one of those thoughts that Jason keeps to himself, even though he thinks it fairly often. It captures a part of Jason I rarely see represented, which is how he came back different and he feels different from the rest of the bats in a lot of ways that strain his relationship with them. (Also, I feel like this reads in his voice really well which is something I sometimes have a hard time feeling like I nailed.

15. What is one question you wish someone would ask you about this work? Ask it and answer it.

There is ALWAYS a question I want to be asked about fics, and it is what songs inspired them! I listen to so much music (Spotify wrapped outed me last year at 84k minutes of listening lmaoo) and I used to write to music a lot but I've been finding it distracting lately.

I still plot to music though, and each of my fics have playlists! I'm gonna link the spotify playlist for this fic here! Top recs from this playlist are:

Lately I haven't Been Sleeping

Hyacinthus

J's Lullaby

Thank you for reporting in for an ask!!! I always love seeing you in my inbox and I swear I get excited every time, I'm just bad at answering 😂

And re: your comment at the end, Thank You and everyone who reminded me to give myself room to rest! I don't want to burn out any more than anyone else wants me to burn out, and I appreciate the reminder!! Also preparing the feast was So Worth It, people are still (like literally at this moment I got one) sending in the LOVELIEST comments that are making my day every single time!!

Ily all!!! and Bean I'll see you in like five seconds for your Echo Wife ask I've been vibrating to answer 💖

Haha… yeah… that’d be crazy…
