#learning from my mistakes

[chaotic-tired-cat]

Listen. Listen I need to say this just once and not in the tags of a post.

Okay, so Dungeon Meshi, right?

Nobody spoil it for me (only watching the anime rn) but if Kabru isn't quietly a hyper competent disaster whose home either was destroyed or is actively destroying itself, I will laugh. The competency is only for what he trained, though. Min-maxed his social skill toolbox. He's giving "fish out of water that's just barely adaptable and charming enough to hide it." That's a Shisui from Naruto character archetype. This guy is either fucked up, or abt to be. Delightfully sociable weirdo. Chaotic gremlin hiding under a shell of "no don't worry guys I've got this" that his charisma maintains just long enough for consequences to hit both him, and often teammates. He's an "aww a little guy" who is a bit fucked up, actually, but the issue is probably that he's just not as vibrantly so when you put him next to the main cast.

(I need proof of opinion with a date stamp to shove in a few group chats. No mistakes this time. Posting this publicly, ty for witnessing, feel free to scroll on. Citing predictions through fic is too vague and takes ages, so I apologize for taking up space on your dashboard)

Kabru? Home: gone. Parents: long since dead. Chaos: lurking. Competence: high but not in the common sense category, though few notice at first conversation w him. If he's trained in a covert skill and a bit tortured by some kinda identity related to purpose or childhood, then that's just extra amusing.

Please, universe. Let me be right. It would be so so so funny. He has Shisui from Naruto energy. Make it real for the sake of the bit.

So a few weeks ago I spent over 12 hours on some less than half finished Good Omens fanart, and i looked at it again today and it sucks. Like, it really sucks. I completely messed up on the pose, the proportions are really off, the background is only a mediocre sketch, etc… so I redrew it… and it’s like 10x better. It also only took me 30 minutes (it’s not even half finished yet but I know I’ll finish it faster.) anyways I am so fucking annoyed that it was so easy???? Like, it looks BETTER, and it was so EASY, and I made it so FAST??????? I wish I could have made the other one this easily, and it was only made a few weeks ago, so my art shouldn’t have changed that much. But I guess in the end why I made the new one so easily was because I learned from the mistakes of the old one, so I’m kinda proud of myself.

#art #Good Omens #learning from my mistakes #and I guess the first crappy draft payed off in the end.

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

#you will make superficial edits that do not gell well with the rest of your work #and won't actually capture what you thought was so good about that story #close the doc. sit down. think about it for a while. inspiration is fine. getting a 'eureka' moment from another story is fine #but if you find yourself comparing your work one to one with someone else's and taking any differences to be flaws on your part then STOP #you will never write good stuff by trying to make it look less like you wrote it #writing #writing advice #guess who just had to go into her google doc history and undo a bunch of panic-induced edits #because she read a fic about the same characters she's writing for? #meeee. they aged badly within just a few hours of hindsight. learn from my mistakes #self-hatred is not a good motivation for creation #fic writing

i feel like social media has warped people’s perception of conflict in relationships by making you think that any minor fuck up is the end of the world and everyone is secretly a narcissist manipulator with sinister motives, because actually in real life you just say “i’m sorry, that was a bad thing, i shouldn’t have done that” and the other person says “thank you for apologising” and then that’s the end of it

#ramble #i hate that it took until my 20s to realise that i can’t go through my life just trying not to hurt people. because it will happen #it just does happen sometimes #and you have to drop out of the tiktok school of ‘i’m incapable of doing anything wrong ever and everyone else is the problem’ #and get comfortable with making mistakes and learning from them #you’re fine. it’s fine #disclaimer obviously this doesn’t mean you don’t have to try to be kind or considerate anymore as long as you apologise. use your brain

PSA

If you are in the US and do your taxes, use the official IRS site for free filing!

Many companies will advertise free filing and then claim you have deductions or needs that require their paid solutions, and they will not tell you until the end of the process when you are exhausted and want it to be over. These ones are fully free and approved by the IRS!

Save yourself money and stress.

Important tip for trans men/transmascs/whoever needs the reminder: Even if you pass as a man to cis people, you still need to have either some form of self-protection on you (e.g., mace, knives (if you can use them effectively), ect.) or know some form of self-defense. Please take it from me, you don't know what will happen out there at any given time.

You might assume that if you pass as a cis man to cis people, you will be safe from any harm. While I wish that were true, it simply isn't the world most of us live in. Please do whatever you can to protect yourself out there.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #ask to tag (genuine) #there's this idea that once you start passing as a man as a trans guy* that all your worries about attacks... disappear... #...but i'm going to be real my fears of being followed/sexually harassed/heckled/ect have increased by double... #...and i never felt the need to have self-protection before (which was kind of foolish even if i felt certain i was physically safe)... #...but honestly i think i really ought to start investing in this shit the more i pass #anyway please learn from my mistakes ♡ #i talk about this a lot but it is a life-or-death level of importance to me #yes this goes for all trans people... #...i just call out other trans guys specifically because so many of us assume or are told we're immune to this type of violence

I will never be over Ed and Stede telling those kids "don't be pirates" in the same way your uncle who smokes a pack a day tells you "don't do drugs, kid"

I listened to the entire hour long April 1st episode just because I thought there was going to be a hidden message. I was wrong.

merrill dragon age isn't The Character in terms of being the guy with the juiciest backstory details or protagonist material but she is The Person. The Heart. she was working on one of the most important researches of elven history and no one believed in her. not her keeper, her teacher and mother figure. nor her clan, the only family she's ever had. nor hawke's friends, the only people who were surrounding her for six years. the only person who can actually place their faith in her is hawke but if they don't she won't mind. she is used to it, being on her own. and, despite everything, she believes in people. she knows it matters. better than anyone.

she has never heard a nice word from fenris, but she still tries to cheer him up from time to time. she has never heard a nice word from anders either and she still feels for him. varric annoys her when he tries to distract her from the eluvian, but she appreciate it because she knows he means well. aveline refers to her work as senseless and potentially dangerous for the city, but she is still happy for her when she falls in love.

if hawke sides with mages in the last straw merrill is the first to support them. "I believe in you, hawke", she says, when everyone else is consumed by doubt. and then she's the only one who openly suggests sparing anders. so he can put things right.

she knows the feeling. when you're on your own and everyone thinks you're beyond salvation, undeserving of compassion or understanding. and this is the best she can offer for people she cares about: her unconditional faith, her sympathy, a second chance. the things she was desparately looking for and never had. she believes in people because she knows: there's no one else to believe in them

#going through my screenshots and every time i see 'i believe in you hawke' i want to explode #she's an unacknowledged genius but also she's the brightest person in kirkwall with the heart of gold #and i wish we talked about her smartness and willingness to discuss and defend her opinions more #but she's also genuinely such a good person. not in the 'haha silly pretty and clueless naive girl' way #but in the 'thoughtful and caring and compassionate woman who tries to learn from her mistakes and deepest regrets' way #her banters are full of these themes. believing and second chances and atonement and it just makes me feel things #if i were to put it all in this post it would be practically endless because i really lack the ability to shut up #spiraling back into my merrill brainrot. i love her i love her i love her so much #merrill #dragon age
