Opening Line Patterns

thanks for the tag @ladyofthenoodle!

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 posted fics and see if there's a pattern. I'm not going to link each individual fic, but here's my Ao3 if something catches your fancy! :)

From most to least recent:

Rena Rouge: Secret Keeper - Ch 4 Chat Noir was earlier than Ladybug. That was hardly unusual. What was unusual was that he was dreading her arrival.

The Untold Story of DJWiFi - Ch 9 Alya’s biggest complaint about being tied up in a giant spider’s web was that she couldn’t film the whole akuma encounter.

Bend the World Around It - Ch 3 They don’t talk about their names and identities. He doesn’t ask and she doesn’t want to talk about it anyway. It’ll just make them both sad.

Not Part of the Plan - Ch 12 She wakes up next to Adrien. He looks as gorgeous as ever and more than anything she wants to throw herself at him and have her way with him.

Celebrity Status - Ch 7 I can’t believe Ladybug dropped someone! 

Miraculous Reveal #15 - Rings True I figured out who Monarch is. He’s Gabriel Agreste. Meet me at the Agreste Mansion.

Right Behind You - Ch 13 Nino adjusted the headphones over his ears, and hit play again, listening to the track he had so far.

Yin and Yang - Ch 5 Adrien’s room was something out of a child’s fantasy.

Spin the Bottle Nathaniel’s family home is not as large or ostentatious as the Agreste family manor, but that only means Adrien feels more at ease.

Aftermath - Ch 5 After their unplanned disaster sleepover, Marinette and Adrien fell strictly back into their routine.

Well, in 6/10 the first line seems to serve to establish where the character is more than anything else. Nothing too fancy about those.

And in 5/10 (with some definite overlap with the previous six) there's something in there to quickly establish the character's mood/mental space.

In 2/10 it's a line of text! I think this is interesting in that it's similar to starting with a line of dialogue, which is very easy for me, but I've mostly trained myself out of that. Mostly! Haha! But apparently I can still find ways to cheat. I'm actually shocked that none of these are an ACTUAL line of dialogue. I'm sure that it will happen again.

I don't usually put a lot of energy into the opening line. I more try to get into a character's head and that often takes more than one line and I usually find the rhythm later. The first line is helpful for getting in that mood though and getting words to flow!

i think the songs on the album will be utterly earnest and personal, but it is so interesting that she's juxtaposing the supposed authenticity of the "tortured poet" (the idea that to be artistic you must be dark, tortured, etc and your work must reflect that in a specific way, or you're not considered a real artist, maybe even a sellout, a shill) with "department," a concept that implies administration or detachment, a mere method of organization. as if the act of creating "tortured art" has been catalogued, maybe even commodified or turned routine. like, even the way she presents her art, her truth, as "evidence"... the way her songs about her life are organized and labeled as "artifacts," even though they are intimate and personal. there's just a few layers of irony here that i'm really excited for, and that addresses so much of discourse around her artistry, life, and mythology.

#ttpd predictions #like... it brings to mind what she's said about paternity testing but also her shattered edges glistening #the way her pain is fake or manipulative #or the public autopsy comment and folklore blending fiction to avoid drama #how she's constantly getting smarter and quicker on her feet #but she's also made to feel like a monster/something inhuman #is this about needing enough evidence to prove herself as she has time and time again? #is it sbout the metacognition required to write about her own life for years? #about* #mine

Okay, so we started with this first question, and the results are now in:

So now it's time for the next question:

The Philosophy of Curiosity

The philosophy of curiosity explores the nature, origins, and implications of human curiosity, which drives individuals to seek knowledge, explore new experiences, and ask questions about the world around them. Curiosity has long been recognized as a fundamental aspect of human cognition and behavior, playing a central role in scientific inquiry, philosophical reflection, and everyday life. Here are some key aspects and theories within the philosophy of curiosity:

Epistemic Curiosity: Epistemic curiosity refers to the desire for knowledge and understanding, motivating individuals to seek information, explore new ideas, and engage in intellectual pursuits. Philosophers have debated the nature of epistemic curiosity, its origins in human cognition, and its role in shaping scientific progress and cultural development.

Aesthetic Curiosity: Aesthetic curiosity pertains to the exploration of beauty, art, and creativity, driving individuals to seek out new experiences, appreciate diverse forms of expression, and engage with works of literature, music, visual art, and other cultural artifacts. Aesthetic curiosity raises questions about the nature of artistic inspiration, cultural interpretation, and subjective experience.

Existential Curiosity: Existential curiosity concerns the exploration of existential questions about the nature of existence, meaning, and purpose, motivating individuals to reflect on their own lives, values, and beliefs. Existential curiosity encompasses inquiries into topics such as the nature of consciousness, the search for transcendence, and the quest for personal fulfillment.

Philosophical Curiosity: Philosophical curiosity involves the pursuit of philosophical inquiry, critical thinking, and self-reflection, prompting individuals to question assumptions, challenge conventional wisdom, and explore fundamental concepts such as truth, morality, justice, and reality. Philosophical curiosity underlies the practice of philosophy as a discipline and informs broader intellectual endeavors.

Ethical Curiosity: Ethical curiosity concerns the exploration of ethical questions and moral dilemmas, motivating individuals to consider the consequences of their actions, empathize with others, and strive for moral growth and development. Ethical curiosity raises questions about the nature of moral values, ethical principles, and the pursuit of the good life.

Cognitive Curiosity: Cognitive curiosity encompasses the exploration of cognitive processes, mental states, and psychological phenomena, driving individuals to understand how the mind works, how knowledge is acquired, and how beliefs are formed. Cognitive curiosity informs research in fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science.

Cultural Curiosity: Cultural curiosity involves the exploration of diverse cultures, traditions, and worldviews, prompting individuals to learn about different societies, languages, and customs, and to appreciate the richness of human diversity. Cultural curiosity fosters intercultural understanding, global awareness, and cross-cultural communication.

Metacognitive Curiosity: Metacognitive curiosity pertains to the exploration of one's own cognitive processes and learning strategies, motivating individuals to reflect on their own thinking, monitor their own understanding, and adapt their learning strategies to achieve greater intellectual growth and self-improvement.

Overall, the philosophy of curiosity explores the multifaceted nature of human curiosity and its profound influence on knowledge, creativity, personal growth, and the human condition.

I didn't want more people to tell me to check myself into the hospital so I didn't post on here the last few days but my insomnia didn't get better at all until I discovered this sleep coach on a reddit post and when I tell you it has literally changed my life. Started reading his book yesterday and immediately slept through the whole night!!!!!! Was literally on the verge of crying when I realized it this morning anyways if anyone struggles with genuine insomnia I highly highly recommend this guy

i always have something to say to Way and the 10th episode is no exception. you stupid frail depiction of human being. you deceitful animal. you… how dare you being hurt by Babe's words? how dare you sound surprised that he is accusing you? does he think you could hurt someone he loves? news to you: YES! it's called trust issues after someone you love betrays you for years. it's called losing hope on someone. it's called descending to earth and face the realities of ones life. you were for TEN FUCKING YEARS what Babe considered the only friend he had! and what? you lied during that amount of time because in your own fucked up world you thought you would be of immense help if you seduced him or just fucked him so you could have kids and Tony would leave you all alone. in your fucked up world Babe was yours because 'i was here first'. grow up. and not for a second you told him you were in Tony's life too. i believe you heard stories from Babe's mouth on how Tony made this and that. and Babe was trusting you these information and you still did and said nothing. he could have protected you too. he would understand you. he would help you. but no, you still decided to keep deceiving. and shut up about the 'for your own good', it's not, it is for yours. to the point of trying to sa him! that is not fitting into the 'i could never hurt my own family'. what a moron. just… i know the end you have in the novel, my advise is for you so seek a new life and happiness somewhere else. please. go far away. be alive. and build your own better self. free of that self-pitying shit and delusion you are building based on a love you thought you had for someone and realise the piece of shit you are and stop being it

#fully analyse yourself. think about yourself. think about what you thought before and analyse that too. metacognition it's the name #do it. you'll realise you did shit. and if you are the good family member you say you are... better yourself #pit babe the series #pit babe way

The Philosophy of Metacognition: Mental Agency and Self-Awareness (Joëlle Proust, 2013)

"Similarly, children tested on various forms of cognitive control, self-evaluation, and source monitoring have trouble distinguishing the perceptual appearance from the real nature of objects (such as a sponge that looks like a rock) before they reach four to five years of age.

The development of epistemic self-evaluations in human children, furthermore, appears to be roughly parallel to that of mindreading.

When three-year-olds are asked whether they know what is inside a box they have never seen before, they, surprisingly, find it difficult to make a reliable judgement.

They often answer with a guess, but do not seem to distinguish knowing from guessing before the age of four or even later. (…)

Similarly with the control and monitoring of memory: children do not seem to try to retrieve events or names before they have understood that they have a mind able to remember.

On the basis of such evidence, Josef Perner has persuasively argued that the development of episodic memory in children derives from the ability to introspect an ongoing experience and interpret it as representing an actual past event. 

His explanation is in line with Flavell’s: children do not possess episodic memory until they are able to understand the representational nature of their own minds.

A longitudinal study by Lockl and Schneider (2007) explores the parallel between children’s competence in mindreading and metamemory: both co-vary with language development.

Children’s level of expertise in metamemory at age five is predicted by that of mindreading at age four. 

In summary, when asked to verbally report about what they know, what appears to them, what they can remember, and so on, children seem unable to offer reliable answers before they are able to read their own minds.

However, once they have acquired, through verbal communication, the concepts for the basic mental states, and thereby become able to understand how other agents can be wrong about the world, children learn to attribute errors and misrepresentation to themselves as well."

Man things just ain't been going my way over the last few weeks and it's affecting literally everything and it fucks things up and then I have to go back apologize which would be fine except I could have just NOT done the thing I apologized for if I took like 10 seconds longer to think about shit

So! We started with Question 1, regarding whether the respondents could "hear" a mental voice:

We now have the results of Question 2, where I asked those who responded 'yes' -- or whoever would've said 'yes' if they'd seen the poll in time -- this follow-up question:

What's fascinating about the above results is that the mobile app doesn't show decimals, but the desktop app does-- so, more precisely, the results look like this:

No particular location = 27.6% Near the front = 27.6% Near the back = 7% To the left/right = 3.9% Near the base = 2.8% Absolute center = 22.2% I don't understand = 3.7% Other/Clicky = 5.2%

There were locations given in the tags, replies, and reblogs that I had either forgotten to include or hadn't considered, including:

Near the top of the head;

Near/next to/inside/through/between ears;

Near/inside mouth;

Behind eyes;

Behind nose or inside sinuses;

Near/above/down throat (nasal cavities specifically mentioned more than once); and

Outside the body entirely (in front of body, perched above/on/around/behind head, disconnected entirely).

It should be noted that the majority of these had more than one respondent describe it as such.

Other responses not listed in the poll but clarified in tags or replies were:

not one but multiple mental voices that would either switch out in the same location, or "lived" in different locations (some of these respondents identified as having DID, but not all; some described different voices for different "uses", such as reading versus mental narration versus music-loops, etc.);

mental voices that had spatial locations but no fixed point (that is, would apparently move at random); and

mental voices that had spatial locations that could be chosen at will by the respondent.

...And it's that last group of people who managed to anticipate question 3, which is getting close to the actual thing I want to ask everybody...

Feel free to answer even if you didn't fill in the previous poll. If you already know that it'd hurt you to try (that is, option 5) -- or are concerned it might -- don't fuckin' do it omg, these questions are not IRB approved, no tumblr poll is worth a migraine.

For Jenny:

Personal question regarding Things Beyond Mortal Ken

Are you naturally immune, is there a device, or are you trained to not lose sanity when you see them?

Curious because I imagine you're required to interact with them regularly and I'm looking to apply to a local intern position for something similar, but I know I don't have a natural immunity and don't want to be disqualified for it. I had to have a lot of therapy for accidental exposure as a kid.

I'm not naturally immune to most anomalous influences; I tend to be able to ignore auras that cause fear or the feeling of being hunted, but I'm otherwise just as vulnerable to parasensory attack as your average human.

Standard practice for OPN employees is to receive regular metacognitive checks and a basic suite of inoculations against known hazardous thoughtforms, so I don't think not having a natural immunity would be an immediate disqualification.

I don't really interact with anomalous influences as much as you think! I'm just a social media intern, after all, and the office computers have scramblers that stop common cognitive attacks; it's why when a fae comes into the ask box asking for Norm's name, for example, the question doesn't have a geas on it.

On Metacognition, Samadhi, Sadhana and the Places In Between:

The psychologization of the dharma in the west has not been an entirely negative movement. In many ways the marriage of psychology and mindfulness has been a fruitful one that has made Buddhist principles more accessible to the masses. Certainly the ongoing dialogue between observational science and Buddhist spiritual practice has helped to both verify and refine the transmission and translation of various doctrines and practices into a culturally accessible format.

However, this hasn’t been a movement without shadow. The conflation of the dharma with mindfulness alone, as the crown jewel of the psychological reductionist perspective has been a hindering force for many practitioners, who often come to conflate awakening with metacognitive awareness. That’s a grave mistake.

The dawning of metacognition is a substantial doorway, but a doorway nonetheless. It’s not the path made manifest. Likewise practice cannot be reduced to metacognition. Metacognition is a relatively early consequence of meditative practice, but it’s not samadhi, and it’s certainly not prajna.

Samadhi is often misunderstood as some kind of blank absorption into mindless being. This is a substantial pitfall, a trapping of the mind that the ego is all too happy to allow the practitioner to become infatuated with. Hanging out in “nothingness” after all is a safe space for the ego, wherein subject-object dualism can be safely maintained. After all, samadhi as it is most frequently reported is a state of “I” slipping away for a time, after which it can emerge from its bath in nothingness fully aware of its journeying, and often proud of it to boot.

True samadhi on the other hand, true meditative absorption into the heart of reality, is a manifestation of nondualism. It is the realization and effortless expression of subject-object sameness, and embodying of the true-self, which is limitless in time and space, while somehow yet identifiable through the singular body of one’s birth (after all, form IS emptiness and emptiness IS form). It is from this samadhic state that prajna, or the spontaneous expression of wisdom before thinking, can appear.

Zen Master Seung Sahn often noted that practitioners must find “correct situation, correct relationship, and correct function.” Situation, relationship, and function in spontaneous harmony and accord is, in effect, prajna arising from samadhi.

In this it may he further understood that samadhi is not a drop into some well of neutral blankness, but a conscious swim in-and-as the dynamic tension that may be interpreted through such terms as rupa and sunyata, purusha and prakriti, yin and yang, waves and particles, etc.

It is not with any degree of levity that Zen prescribes the essentials of great faith, great doubt, and great determination. We must have some degree of considerable degree of faith that our practice can yield resolution to the matter of life and death. We must uphold a continual resolve to push beyond the limits of what we hope to be the end of the path and into the real, doubting that the full picture has ever quite entered our conscious regard. And too, we must devote ourselves to persistence in this faith and doubt, understanding sadhana (shugyo) as the only path to true liberation and awakening.

mmmmmm okay listen up beloveds, besties, and bastards [affectionate], I want to tell you about a policy of mine I keep re: fic & fic commenting called Compliments Only.

So, I can't take credit for originating said policy: my roommate in undergrad told me about it. We're both singers, and if you're not in the performing arts world, then know that in classical singing (or any kind of performance really) working up a piece takes weeks, if not months of preparation, which when you're in school, includes singing for people in your studio on a regular basis. This is helpful both ways: as a performer, you get feedback from your peers, and as a listener, you learn how to give critical & constructive feedback -- that post that's been circulating about metacognition and creativity? that's this!

But, like anything, there's come a point when preparation for a performance just has to be finished. So my roommate told me that when she's standing up in studio class right before an audition or competition or recital, she'd ask for "Compliments Only." Because when you are a day or week out from a major performance, what you need more than anything is to just practice the act of performing for people, critical feedback is no longer constructive because you've taken the piece as far as it is able to go. When my roommate told me about this I thought "Wait, that's genius," and then I realized it's something my own voice teacher had been doing the entire time I'd been working with her, she just didn't give it a name like Roommate did.

and it's true in any art. with any creative work, one reaches a point in which they cannot/will not/don't want to take it any further. and at that point, unless they state otherwise, it's Compliments Only time. which brings me back to fic.

When I post something out into the ether of the internet, be it here or on ao3, that is as far as I am going to take a piece of my writing. I have worked as hard as I am going to on it, and now I want to share it. My preparation is complete, and therefore, my posting is not a request or invitation for criticism, because it is past the point of being constructive for me.

So, my comments policy (and I love getting comments, I love it so much, y'all have no idea) is Compliments Only, and I would venture a guess that most fic writers on this site feel the same way. If a writer wants critical feedback, they will ask for it, because they know themselves and their work better than anyone else, and if that kind of feedback will be constructive or not.

So, when you're commenting, keep in mind that fic writer's are doing this for fun, and for free, and that we're delicate creatures showing you a bit of our soul, and hold yourself to a Compliments Only policy.

#and that doesn't mean you can't go crazy and detailed in the comments #bc I also love that #see that metacognition post #you know just...don't give unsolicited advice #this is something i've just been thinking a lot about #and dm'ing S about #and I know some other writer friends have been thinking about it too so... #don't get me wrong most messages I get are absolutely lovely. but there are some that do have me messaging S like #?????

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

I was thinking this morning about how to explain the difference between the Mind and the Soul. In my way of thinking, they are entirely separate concepts. But I am struggling to define "soul" in a way that is distinct from "super ego" or "subconscious." And these are, of course, part of the Mind, and this upsets me in a way I can't quite articulate.
