🌿 !!

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity omg yes. so many things! for writer's block:

try to keep your writing space clean, if you can. having a clean space to work in does wonders for clearing up distractions in your mind and allowing you to write!

brainstorm with friends. a lot of times, i'll get stuck on something and have no idea where to go. bouncing ideas off of other people helps me get out of my head and get new perspectives, and helps so much! sometimes, when my writer friends are stuck, i'll even do a 'send me the last sentence you wrote, and i'll write the next sentence for you to kickstart you' and then trade off!

writing sprints. this is a huge, huge, huge one for me! it's where you set a timer, usually for 15 minutes, and during that time, you write as much as you can. don't worry about editing, don't worry about it being bad, just get whatever you can onto the page for those 15 minutes. discord has an amazing bot for this called sprinto.

get what you can on the page. no one else is going to see it when it's in those early stages, so don't worry if it's terrible. it doesn't matter. it is always easier to fix something that's there than to attempt to work with nothing at all!

i've often heard the concept that motivation inspires action, but in all my experience, it's the opposite way around. sometimes you're not feeling it, but you push through, and you get into a flow. sometimes you start, and it's just not happening - you're tired, or burnt out. either way, it's okay! i like to strive for 300 words. just those 300 words. if i happen to want to continue, great! if i don't then i at least got those 300 words on the page, and that's 300 more words than i had before (and sprinting really helps with this!) for low creativity:

take care of yourself. this is another huge one! your brain needs proper food, rest, water, and recreation to function. you wouldn't run your car without any gas and expect it to drive, so don't do the same to your brain! your body is a machine, and it needs fuel to function properly. once the foundational requirements have been met, then your brain can start to worry about things like being creative.

this may not be helpful for everyone, but it is for me, so i wanted to mention it: read other books/fics. seeing incredible stories play out almost always inspires me. i believe that stories have a magic to them, and seeing that magic always makes me want to replicate the feeling i've experienced. it's like receiving a baldur's gate 3 inspiration - my mind shoots to a hundred, and i start having so many ideas about how i can make my fics extra special. i know this won't work for everyone, especially if you're liable to fall into the dreaded comparison trap, but i'm at the point where i'm alright, and seeing someone create a masterpiece makes me want to push that extra mile to make something amazing.

this is another one that might not work for everyone, but: give your brain the time and space to think. go on a walk without any music. sit with yourself in the quiet of your room. let your brain be without any distractions, and have the space to start spinning ideas. if you've ever wondered why you're suddenly motivated to write fic when you're about to sleep, this is probably why! you're finally letting your mind be still and process things, and that can often lead to creativity starting to flow.

this is a hard one, i know, but still: try very hard not to be self-critical. comparison is the thief of joy. telling yourself you're shitty won't actually make you a better writer. it'll just make you miserable, and leave a negative connotation attached to the act of writing. creation is an art! you have a story in your brain, and you're putting that down for other people to enjoy. we can always improve, but try to approach that need for improvement from a positive space, because all self-deprecation does is immediately shut down all the joy of making art ♥ you don't need to punish yourself for not being perfect. you don't need to apologize for being a beginner. start with where you are, and as long as you keep at it, you will always grow and learn along the way.

thank you so much for the ask! sorry if this got really long, i just had a lot to say lmao <333

Episode 19 liveblog take two

We made it happen!

@threeofheartscast

Because I do actually really want those notes on QC. Listening at 2.35 speed which sounds....awful. but useful! Semi from memory this may not be entirely in order

OMG HI!!!! I KNOW YOUR FROM THE TWITTERS!!!

QC elf, brown eyes and longhair In ponytail wears all black suit, gloves, book, robin-mask

Is this sir thimby person thinbleton? Sigil on card with future slanted font helmet with two crossed swords

Despite the fact that it's morally wrong I kind of ....yk maybe let him kidnap diamond a little bit? Some light kidnapping

I love how his first insibt when a fire starts is to stick to the CEILING. How are those lungs looking bestie

This music is GROOVY

IF ITS NOT GAY ITS GOT TO GO he's gonna love the agents.

For vellums kidnappings minimum 7 times depending on

-if random count extra,

-or if he wandered away and someone picked him up,

- didn't notice kidnapped,

- kidnappers forgot him and he just left,

- infodumped until the kidnappers got so annoyed they let him go

-about to walk into an open net while reading but manhole instead

The music is not as good as 2.35 speed

This entire scene was very cute and my original reaction included a lot of keysmashes. Vellum just went for it I appreciate that.

I feel like if there was a field agent hand book vellum would have at the very least edited it.

Xbala and spar having kissed us very soar behavior

Fic of them eating dinner after 2nd kiss before hotel

Vellum giving him a kiss. Draw spar half up in bed, with his face in vellums shoulder, vellum looking soft blushing (this shit is cute) muttering, petting his hair "mmmm breakfast is good, important part of the day....mmmm yup" -spar

Their argument here is the best

I FORGOT VELLUM SAID "YOURE VERY CUTE LIKE THIS" THATS A FUCKING DORABLE

I'm just gonna assume spar has a thing for suspenders

QC just Speedran becoming a coming of interest in a kidnapping (so fast the kidnapping hasn't happened yet)

HE HAS TELEKINSESIS what a little guy... He's so absurd in the best way i adore him. In my mind he is a Manlet I will die on this hill

Jack has a druid parent... Sanguinia. Stays with "g/Cladia" friend in...........city stoneloft

RADIO MOVIE NIGHTS ARE SO CUTE

I remember freaking out about greggins and Jack being qpps (just like me, fr!)

"Intense feelings and situations"

Grey just know it wasn't worth lying to vellum, he's too smart

There was a lot of freaking out about Max being the kid, but I landed on the theory that Grey both kept them seperate and wants vellums blood because Max is a werekid, and it wouldve been traumatic for both of them to raise them together but maybe vellum can help him find a cure. I can understand why there would be so many feelings messed up in all that

Vellum got SO cold in this question and I don't mean in a mean way but it's the...determination

Grey does have the best outlook on clovenheart & I think that's sus

Persuaded the FUCK outa him

Providince......don't thing I trust this. Grey's in his Gatsby era

"Fix other harms that needn't have happened"...........*squinting* return magic?

I WANT GREY TO COME BACK now that's she's less immediately evil) sus

Also I DID say I thought resurrecting vellum's parents could be a part of Grey's motivations!!!!, I did say that!

I really like joy

your sparkliness sounds very diamond

QC and the agents being at odds with eachother at this party sounds like the setup for SUCH a good time

HELL YEAH!!! Songs were groovy. Formatting still banging. I made a note herea out how juggling scenes like that is hard but Jordan did it really damn well. Kitt's so funny!!! I'm excited that they're here. QC is just a funny little guyyyyy he's just a little guyyyyy!!!

Note: hey future lushlet if you get up to wiki shit dont trust this I make hella typos

[ cherry ] what is one thing you love about yourself? [ amber ] which is your favorite season? why? [ cerulean ] what is your favorite ( type of ) character to write? [ mauve ] give one random headcanon about your muse / one of your muses. (Here I'll distract you some more from IC writing today)

[ cherry ] what is one thing you love about yourself?

I already answered this but I forced you to answer this question, so it's only fair that I answer it with another, different answer here as well. It feels a little weird since I'm basically talking about myself in this hobby as well, but I think I'm pretty creative. I've always loved making up stories and characters and writing, and I get so much joy out of making things. I'm not good with my hands, I'm not crafty, and I can't make visual art or music or anything, but I just really love creating things and for better or worse, I love putting my stamp on something.

Like, as an example, I've been running this D&D campaign for about a year and a half now, and it's a published adventure, so you buy the book, and you're supposed to be able to run it with very little prep work, just like, read the book and do what it says... BUT instead of that, I got a full text file, went through it for months, added a bunch of new stuff, changed a bunch of stuff I hated, made new monsters and items, found new maps to use, made a bunch of custom things that I knew my friends would like, etc. Even in that scenario where it was the most "you don't have to do any extra work, you can just run it out of the book," I was so excited and inspired to add my own stuff, and I'm really proud of how it all turned out, I genuinely think I made a lot of improvements, and found a lot of places where I could make the game more interesting and more fun for myself and my friends.

I don't always have the energy, motivation, or focus required to act on it, that's a whole separate issue, but the fact that I have that drive to create things, and that I'm able to have so much fun and get so much fulfillment and joy out of that, is something that I'm really happy about and proud of myself for.

[ amber ] which is your favorite season? why?

Winter for sure. I like rain and snow, I like cold temperatures a lot better than hot ones, I like being warmed up by hot chocolate or tea or coffee, I like wearing layers. Obviously holidays can be busy and crazy, but aside from that, it feels like such a calm season for me, sit by a window and play a game or read a book, maybe have a fire going if it's cold. Even the holidays I like, when they're less manic and more just small-scale and focused on family and friends.

I also like that there's not always a huge expectation of going out all the time. I don't mind going out places, but I'm an introvert and I prefer staying in more often than not. Winter is a season that has fewer things like "let's go to the beach," or "let's go to the park," or whatever. When I lived abroad, we had such long winters, first snowfall was usually in October and the snow kept up through March, and I know a lot of people were gloomy and weighed down by it, but I miss those long winters just sitting in my house and talking on Skype (shows how long ago this was) with friends, or spending a week at a friend's place just cooking together and watching anime and playing Persona 5 for eight hours a day and huddling under a kotatsu.

[ cerulean ] what is your favorite ( type of ) character to write?

Shinobu Yaguchi next question.

Hahaha I feel like I've answered this question a few times across various memes and it's always interesting to come at it from a different angle. Maybe to try and sum it up though... I like characters that have been thrown outside of their comfort zone, and have to navigate that uncomfortable feeling and decide for themselves what they want. I also like characters who have something to say about identity and that have some conflict between various selves. I also also like characters that have some prickliness and aren't immediately easy to get close to, but who have a lot of hidden warmth and loyalty for people who DO get beyond that outer shell.

At the risk of overcomplicating things, I just like writing characters that just have a lot of weird facets and considerations. With someone like Shinobu, for example, I try not to make it too self-indulgent or too navel-gazey, but a lot of times she is involved in a scene it's like, what she's saying, her mental response to her own words and actions, her response to THAT response, her thoughts about perception and how things might be taken, her willingness to play a role but also the small places to rebel against that role or carve out some tiny piece for herself. There's a lot going on. I wouldn't want to be like "I try to write characters like real people" because I'm still playing with silly anime toys, and psychological hyperrealism isn't my ultimate goal, but I like to have a good amount of depth and weight to a character and their worldview and their story, because it gives me so many threads to tug on while writing.

[ mauve ] give one random headcanon about your muse / one of your muses.

Random headcanon 1: Shinobu, Yi-Chun, and Kiyomi are the only main anime-type characters that can legally drive. Yi-Chun got her Taiwanese driver's license at 18, and didn't have to take a test to obtain a Japanese license, due to an agreement between Taiwan and Japan (just as well - the Japanese driving test is HARD). She rents a car. Shinobu got a moped license at age 16 to run errands for their father, at his insistence, and got a driver's license at 18 for the same reason, and also to go to their competitions. She doesn't have a car/moped of her own, but she is street-legal. Kiyomi has a moped license, but not a driver's license, and her moped was a "please don't be mad" peace offering gift from her parents after they told her they were moving abroad and she needed to move across the country for her final year of high school.

Izumi is too young to drive anything other than a moped and isn't so interested, Rio has NO intention of ever learning to drive (and is also too young for a car), Tsubasa prefers skating and also has vision issues, Kousuke never learned, and Anzu hasn't ever had a reason to learn. Maki has almost certainly driven but she definitely doesn't have a license. If you see Maki on a bike or in a car, she is either immediately pre- or immediately post-murder.

Random headcanon 2: Rapid fire, everyone's favorite school subjects. Rio: Science Izumi: Music (or Math if that's not an acceptable pick) Tsubasa: PE, if they have to choose. Shinobu: Language/Literature Anzu: Drama (or History if that's not an acceptable pick) Yi-Chun: PE Kousuke: History Kiyomi: Language/Literature Maki: She's not picky. Science maybe, or PE. Whatever.

This blog makes me excited about BTS again it's honestly a breath of fresh air. Most ARMY on tumblr seem to lost their love for boys and complain about their new music. It brings me down how do you still keep on loving them and ignore all the drama on here ?

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

look that is actually very personal to me and i have been thinking how to answer this without getting too personal but also fuck it cause like two ppl who follow me on here and know me in real life already know all this so...

last two years were hell for me and not just cause of covid my parents were/are very sick. my dad has heart condition that is pretty serious and can only be fixed by surgery that is very long and done while he is awake. cause of that stress my mom got high blood pressure and to make matters worse surgery failed his condition came back and he had to do the surgery all over again this year. both my mom and dad also got same type of cancer this spring and on top top of that corona that is very deadly for both of them. and my mom works as a teacher so yeah. all that stress, hospital visits, waiting rooms driving from one doctor to another trying to keep my mom calm so her blood pressure doesn't go up trying to stay positive for my dad took a tool on me and my depression got very bad.

we didn't want to tell rest of the family not to worry them and my best friend moved countries and the plan was to go with him but my parents got sick and i couldn't leave them. so all in all i was alone in this pain i had some other great friends next to me but i didn't want to overwhelm them with my problems they have enough of their own.

and here enters bts a year and couple months ago i became a fan. meaning everyday i woke up knowing all the shit waiting for me but also knowing at the end of the day i'm gonna come home and listen to their music and watch run episodes. they made me happy about something again i had something to look forward to after long hours at hospitals and waiting for the results of tests and surgeries.

i will never be able to explain how much songs like young forever, 2!3!,tomorrow, never mind, spring day, promise, begin, moonchild, magic shop, paradise, forever rain, the last, everythinggoes, for you, epiphany and blue side helped me when i was so close on giving up on everything. they had songs for every mood and when i needed some extra energy to go on with the day i would turn on jump , not today ,ON or attack on bangtan on blast to make me get up.

i will never forget listening to telepathy while making dinner and dancing and feeling joy for the first time in forever.

after their muster concert first day this year i was filled with so much pure happiness and energy that i felt like my old self again almost

and that made me want to feel like that more often and not just because of them i wanted to love myself like they said so many times in their songs so i did something i never thought i could do i went to therapy. i should have done that ages ago but better late than never. bts aslo made me want to reconnect with my old friends and be more active in my own life in general. i don't ever want to use them as distraction from real world or my problems only as motivation to do better.

i know it is cheesy but i really do gain endless comfort and inspiration from them. there is so much to learn from their work ethic and the heart and love they put in everything they do. i will always be thankful to them and what they did for me even if i won't be a fan forever.

so to finally answer your question i don't care about the drama in the fandom i care about bts. i know hybe is bullshit i know capitalism is bullshit i know nobody is perfect including bts but i'm not here to preach and complain much i'm here to love them that's all.

#ask #this was a lot but i'm tired so i let my soul out #personal #bts

What advice would you give to a first year med student? My semester is going to start in 5 weeks and I'm kinda anxious to be honest. I can't handle stress very well, and since medicine is kinda... intense, I'm scared of my mental health getting worse. Your blog is great, by the way

Hello! First of all, welcome to the insanity XD I wish I had a better greeting, but that’s the most appropriate one I could find.

I had three subjects in my first year : anatomy, physiology and biochem. (I dunno how the system is where you’re from, so I’ll stick to some general points I found super helpful)

I’ll confess first off, that I don’t do well with schedules / routines, I’m more of a study whenever you can manage. My study schedule varies widely, some days it could be 10 hours or more when I’m feeling extra motivated / intrigued by any topic / it’s exam season crunch time, and some days aren’t so good, where I’ll end up skimming through barely two pages of my textbook. Those days will be there, and that’s totally okay.

1. For anatomy (or any other topic which involves a lot of visual learning / understanding) : draw your own diagrams! It is the one thing that got me through a majority of my first year. Your diagrams don’t have to be super neat / artistic, just pencil scribbled lines with proper labeling is okay too, just do it in a way you can understand. I still refer to many of my old diagrams when I’m stuck.

2. Same thing goes for biochem / physiology flowcharts - study them from your books / lecture slides, then draw them on your own as practice! I also referred to a lot of YouTube channels for understanding stuff : AnatomyZone , KhanAcademyMedicine , ArmandoHasudungan , Embryology are some of the channels that had helped me a lot!

3. Try to befriend people in your class / lab groups! Having a good network of people to fall back on will help you a lot on days when you’re sick / having any real life crisis etc. And you’ll see that your friends will end up teaching you a lot of concepts / clear up a lot of your doubts on a daily basis! Just, don’t be afraid to ask.

4. That brings me to the next point : Do not be shy / afraid to ask for help. Can’t stress this enough! Be it your professors, the nurses, attendings in the wards, your peers, your seniors, whoever it is, ask for help, clear up your questions. All of them will be happy to help you out! In my first year, we didn’t have much clinical exposure, mostly the theoretical parts were focused on. But if you do have that opportunity, do take advantage of it!

5. Practice review questions! That’s an oft repeated advice, time tested and true XD Review questions ( we had University Question Banks, basically assorted collections of previous years papers ) will help you focus on the areas which are most important for you to remember, and filter out the things most relevant to the area where you’ll need to work on more!

6. Another practical advice that I personally adhere to : having pdfs / digital versions of your textbooks on your phone. I have to spend a lot of time in transit from my home to college, so I spend that time skimming through topics on my phone!

7. Your point about mental health is something I relate to quite a lot. I had my bad days, and still do. Terrible days, in fact. We used to have weekly tests all year round, where the professors conducted a viva examination after finishing each topic. So, almost every week, one or more subjects would overlap, like on some weeks we had tests on both anatomy + physiology / or sometimes all three on the same day. And man, believe me, a lot of those tests went terrible XD The professors minced no words and told us off for not ‘studying enough’ Like, I used to come home sometimes and cry my eyes out, and felt like I’m wasting away my time there, like I wasn’t even good enough. But then, most of my peers were in the same boat, and eventually, we adjusted to the standards our teachers expected, and it was still a learning curve all year round ;D

8. Find time to relax and take a breather. Don’t always compare yourself to your peers and stress about the fact that they are probably learning so much more than you or whatever… Please do remember, we all have our own ways of learning things, and no particular way is the correct one or the best one!

Find the time to unwind and clear your head. Talk to your family / go out for a walk / spend time with your friends / or if you’re an introvert like me and large groups of people stress you out, then simply spend a quiet hour listening to music or drawing ( my go to way for stress relief :D ) or whichever activity that relaxes you!

My overall advice is, don’t let the temporary setbacks make you feel as if you’re not cut out for it / you’re not good enough. Each of us here felt the same, at some point of time, trust me. Just stick to it really hard, and think about the place where you’ll be at the end of the road, and think about the joy you get from learning something new, and the goals you see yourself achieving. It’ll be worth it!

I'm sitting in front of my log fire right now and trying to relax. I've had a tough day with some difficult staff issues to deal with. I find it very stressful particularly because I don't like having to be unpleasant to anyone. Tonight I'm resisting having glass of wine to help me relax, preferring to meditate for awhile. I thinking of taking up running for the first time ever but I'm not sure of the benefits or whether it would suit me.

I hope you get a good chance to relax & let the stressors of today melt away as you meditate. It can be really tough to be put in that position, especially at work. Sending good vibes your way.

On running (I’m just going to ramble, so absolutely let me know if you have any specific questions): I think it’s definitely worth a go, & strongly support you. I love to run. Sometimes that means I love the actual act of putting one foot in front of the other, but more broadly, I also enjoy the benefits I feel from it, such as increased stamina & energy, mood boosts, anxiety breaks, a strong sense of accomplishment, etc. Running is also one of the only times when my mind quiets, rather like a meditation in & of itself. It’s proven a marvelous opportunity to be mindful outside in nature (with or without a future husky puppy, wink wink?). Don’t be afraid to start slow, but also don’t be afraid to dive in. The most important thing isn’t what the books or Internet say, but what you feel inside. Just like yoga, it’s about finding your “edge”–discomfort without sincere pain. The first & hardest things are going to be building up the muscles you’ll use on longer runs & conditioning your lungs to run for progressively longer periods of time. Whether that looks like running short distances & building those distances gradually over time or doing interval training like a couch to 5k app where you alternate running & walking during your workouts until, over a period of weeks, you cease walking & run for the entirety of your workout, is up to you.It’s also completely up to you whether you’d like to focus on mileage or time (I’m going to run for thirty minutes versus I’m going to run three miles, no matter how long that takes.) Time is more important to me when I’m just getting back into running after a respite, because it gives me a more easily-measurable baseline to up when it comes to lung conditioning (hurrah, now I can run for thirty minutes without stopping due to being so out of breath! for example), but sometimes it’s helpful or more inspiring/motivating to track your progress based on mile markers. Be self compassionate first & foremost, but also challenge yourself. As with anything, you’ll see the most progress with this combination of compassion & challenge.

Beginning:

Buy a good pair of running shoes. They’re all you need; not a fancy Garmin or anything else. All of the other gadgets are add-ons that can come later if you really want them or if you feel they will prove helpful. The shoes are the only things that really make a big difference in how you perform & how you feel afterward. Make sure they fit just right & are comfortable for longer distances. They say to buy a new pair every 500 miles of running.

Wear clothing that makes you feel personally comfortable, & don’t worry at all what people might think of you. I’ve worn everything from a four-sizes-too-big “Adirondack Mooseum” shirt with a huge picture of a moose to Under Armour. It all depends on how you feel that day. Dress for your own comfort & you’ll be perfect. You’re lapping each & every person who’s sitting on the couch, so the appearance of your garb matters not.

Yes, warming up & cooling down are actually important. I usually walk from my loft into the park to my starting point to give my legs a chance to stretch out, & then begin running there in the park. I end my run in the park on the way back as well, so that I can walk home from there & give my heart rate a chance to slow back down to resting before heading inside. Try for a five-minute warm up & a five-minute cool down when first beginning, then modify up or down as you feel you need.

It’s more important to stretch after your run than it is to stretch before your run. It’s typically recommended that you stretch both before & after you run, but once your muscles have been working hard for a time on the trails, it’s imperative to stretch out (foam rolling, figure-four stretch, butterfly stretch, simple twists, quad stretches, seated wide legged forward fold….all of these & more are good options to stretch your legs, & then you can loosen up your body with some arm stretches & dynamic twists as well). Yoga or even just a few targeted yoga poses constitute a great follow-up to running, because the two complement each other so well & help balance & align the body with both strength & flexibility, as you know.

Don’t hate on yourself for either liking or disliking music while you run. Most of the time, I enjoy it because it helps me set a good pace, but there are unplugged runs where the only thing I want to listen to is nature. Both can be very enjoyable. Give yourself permission to experiment.

Runs at certain times of day might feel extra terrible or extra grand, & all of that’s okay. Sunrise & sunset are my two favorite times to run. Something about the sun being close to the horizon when I’m out there pounding away seems extra motivational. Play with times & see what feels best for you & works best with your schedule.

They say it’s important to eat before your run, but find what works for you. I personally don’t do my best with “real food” before a run, but I do need some sustenance/calories, so if I go in the morning, I might just have a cup of herbal tea with some organic local honey about half an hour before I go, or, if I’m running at sunset, I might have a small snack of dried fruit or nuts about half an hour before. That way, something’s in my bloodstream, but I don’t feel bogged down by a meal. I eat more heartily when I return & when my metabolism is already amped up from the workout.

If you’re ever stuck in a place where you’ve stopped enjoying running early on in your training, especially because you find yourself focusing on mainly or only the results on an app or the mileage you didn’t get in last week, get completely unplugged, leave your phone behind, & just…run. Smell the forest air. Look over the hills. Admire the flora & fauna. Be in the now. Mindfulness works for running just like it does for everything else. It often renews the joy of the experience & reminds you why you started.

When you’re having a tough run, try to focus outward rather than inward. Rather than expending energy feeding into the negative thought reel that you might very validly be experiencing (mine in difficult moments often sounds like “fuck, and now my lungs are burning, now burning more, now I almost slipped in the ice, is that person judging me? why am I doing this?” *whoa, small mind. whoa, so negative*), briefly acknowledge what you’re feeling inside but then try to enjoy or appreciate something that’s happening outside yourself–the couple strolling in the opposite direction with a brand new puppy, the birds talking to each other in the trees, the sound of running water…whatever it may be. This will help you persevere through tough spots.

I’ve been talking way too much. Let me know if you have more specific inquiries.

Best to you always, Paul.
