When your partner has a praise kink but you're Montessori trained so you know that praise is an ineffective way to encourage development and it's much more productive to acknowledge their effort so that they learn to effectively give themselves feedback so they can develop a healthy intrinsic motivation instead of deriving their self worth from labels put on them by other people .... "baby it's amazing how much you could last today compared to last week"
just saw someone ask whether batman or spiderman would win in a fight, as if batman would see a brightly-colored sassy acrobat and not immediately adopt him
I got a washer and dryer today and it’s my first time in my adult life being able to do laundry in my own home so this was already a monumental occasion and I was feeling great but today is also the day Chris Rice discovered knotting so I mean ! Just a great day!!!!
"The stroking of his fingers on my hurt flesh was insupportably delicious. I didn't dare raise my head. I pressed my cheek against the scratchy embroidered coverlet, against the great picture of the lion stitched into it, and I sucked in my breath and let my tears flow. I felt calm all over; this pleasure robbed me of any control of my limbs."
When @faerywhimsy asked me to draw this scene I must admit I was a little intimidated by it. While I was trying to come up with a depiction that wasn't too explicit and yet terrifying I kept coming back to this particular quote above. Eventually I realised that the quote in question must have been the reason why I felt the urge to draw this other Armand Marius piece a few days ago.
AR writing will never cease to amaze me, how it can be so horrifying and so beautiful and enthralling at the same time🖤
talking about Marius & Santino before has me absolutely POSSESSED by Marius angst but I got a work thing to do so remind me later we have to talk about how I was reading all this Marcus Aurelius stuff for Marius Fic Research Purposes and like it's just so sad that it's like supposed to be this empowerment of self like "just simply do not feel" LOL and the emphasis it puts on blaming people who harm you when appropriate but while also moderating your own feelings and anyway I just think it's really sad how it can be easier to like pin all your angst on a PERSON (Mael, Santino) and how it can become such an obsession and focus when we often have to do the work on the inside too!!!!!!!!!
men in black 2 is the exact opposite of ageism in media bc will smith’s character is like “I need that old motherfucker back” and drags his partner (who erased his own memory) out of retirement
men in black still holds up so well imo the jaded old man getting partnered with an insubordinate rookie (and it works bc they’re both fucking insane). the lore. the creepy cockroach alien wearing a human as a suit & planning world domination. the kitty and his lil necklace. the wazzzzzzzzup aliens & talking pug. the special effects and pre digital haze. the quote where k says “fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe. five hundred years ago, everybody knew the earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. imagine what you'll know tomorrow”
In S1E2, when the paladins are relaxing after training and Shiro gets up to leave the room, is it just me or does Keith notice and follow after him? It looks like he's staring at Shiro as he gets up lol. What do you make of that?
this is true he notices shiro leaving and then goes himself all whilst looking like this
my thoughts are i am very thankful for this good content
