Orphean task: when you are told the entire solution to your problem in the most basic terms but still manage to fuck it up.
Narcissusian task: looks great on paper, impresses your friends, makes your parents proud, but you don’t actually DO anything.
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)
I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).
Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.
So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.
I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.
I hope we will be dragons.

I had a dream that you were writing an ATLA-Muppets crossover. I don’t remember much except that Grover was head of the Earth Kingdom.
I cannot imagine a more benevolent ruler.
Long Feng would be like that moustachioed restaurant patron with the fly in his soup, just absolutely losing his mind trying to rein in the pure chaos of his “captive” king.
…I also desperately need Miss Piggy to meet Ozai.
Animal is 100% locked up in Boiling Rock. He and Chit Sang are buddies.
Please let me be indulgent and throw Rizzo the Rat into Lu Da’s crew, for maximum confusion because there’s also Rizo the Human.

Friendly reminder that creatives are not machines. We do this for free. For our enjoyment, as much as yours. And requesting output at a time when engagement (i.e. reblogs, comments, etc.) has plummeted is not, in fact, going to make us create more, or faster. It can sometimes yield the opposite effect when our arts are met with largely silent engagement between variants of the odd, "Please update soon."
Of course creatives love hearing that their art is enjoyed and missed. But be sure to tell them before asking for more. Because while likes and kudos are always appreciated, reblogs and comments do wondrous things for motivation and morale.
why...... no arts?
A few reasons mostly related to a recent event in my life, I think. My motivation and mood are in a bit of a slump right now, and pen isn’t always hitting paper in the way I’d like it to. I’m working on something, and I do have ideas, but it'll just take some time.

I feel like every writer has created whole stories before around just that one specific scene that they thought of and really wanted to write. Sometimes I wonder what those scenes were for my favourite stories.

it's not even cringe; it's just personal and unpolished and you've been taught to flinch away from vulnerability which doesn't mock itself

I got likes on my previous post, so I took that as a Yes? Here she is.
Selina Lo was the actress I referenced, and selections from this post inspired her outfit.
