Tumblr: *rolls out “best stuff first”*

My blog:

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost

take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle

fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism

now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning

Okay so when I got sucked into the phantom zone last week while watching youtube shorts a lot of the content it fed me was ADHD tips and a lot of it was either useless for me or redundant but there was one REALLY good tip about taking breaks that wasn't about taking breaks it was about RETURNING from breaks and the tip is: when you are about to go on a break, before you step away from your task (work, craft project, school stuff) decide what you'll do as the first thing when you sit back down at your task and set up your workspace to do that thing.

That means you've got an easy re-entry point to go back to doing the thing instead of sitting back down and having to make a decision or having to reorient from break mode to task mode. You have pre-reoriented and can just go back into working mode.

I've been doing this by circling what my next task on my tasklist is and bringing up the windows that I'll need for the task before I step away from my desk.

Brilliant hack, works great for me, hope it works great for you as well.

my dark academia playlist directory

depressive episode - sad/angsty tunes to listen to while painting the night away

three am dark academia vibes - less angsty and a bit more chill

twenty something - "wow I've done nothing with my life huh" music

traveler's light - relaxing violin/piano music with some of the destiny & breath of the wild soundtrack thrown in

soulbound - music to listen to while laying in bed and uselessly pining

we'll be ok - similar to soulbound

soft calamity - some softer music with dark meanings

fairytales - songs from fairytales or that should be in fairytales

[ redacted ] - marble hornets vibes

In Dreams (The Raven Cycle amv)

Since The Raven King comes out today, I wanted to post something special before I dive into the end. I’ve been wasting away months of my life drawing all the scenes for this video, and now it’s finally done. I hope you enjoy it!

I’m not going to explain myself

all of the love is stored in the orange 🍊

is there anything sexier than saying “check mate”?

If you think the world building in Harry Potter is even close to decent and you’re over the age of 13, you’re in no place to speak on fantasy literature at all. A handful of shiny gimmicks does not good world building make
