GUYS, HEAR ME OUT

So, everyone here is familiar with 4nemo, or 5wirl, whatever. Right?

So I thought a bit and, LISTEN.

HYDRO GIRLS.

I made a few names but I'm not sure if it's good, but here

HY8RO

VAP8RIZE

H8DRO

And it would consist of

Furina, Kokomi, Nilou, Mona, Yelan, Candace, Mualani and Barbara

If we're going to take the band(group?) Context, I'll say which instrument I think each of them would have

Furina and Barbara would mainly sing for me, so I can't think of any instrument rn

Kokomi gives off keyboard vibes.

Yelan probably uses the electric guitar

Candace uses the drums

Mualani would use either Maracas or something like a triangle.

I'm not sure about Mona

BUT, I do think they would be more like, in a kpop group vibe? 😭

But yeah, I had this idea and needed to share before I forgot 🙏

(Also, maybe Focalor could be an ex member that left and let furina take her place without anyone noticing the difference until she said it to the public)

Straightway, great Phoebus, the goddesses washed you purely and cleanly with sweet water, and swathed you in a white garment of fine texture, new-woven, and fastened a golden band about you. - Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo

Basic Cognitive Functions Guide

As an MBTI enthusiast, I like making little guides and notes to help me visualize and process information, so here ya go!

Two Attitudes

Extroverted (E): Functions oriented towards the real world—views things as is without personal alignment and filtering. "Breadth."

Introverted (I): Functions oriented towards the subject's world—views things through personal alignment and filtering. "Depth."

Two Categories

*Judging

Judging Function (Jx): Reason—a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event—used to judge and decide.

Extraverted Judging (Je): Reasoning based on external effects. Looks at what should be.

Introverted Judging (Ji): Reasoning based on internal alignment. Looks at personalized principles.

*Perceiving

Perceiving Function (Px): Processes used in gathering or filtering information.

Extraverted Perceiving (Pe): Perceiving based on external exploration. Unfiltered gathering of information.

Introverted Perceiving (Pi): Perceiving based on internal narrowing down. Filtering information. 

Four Aspects

*Inter/personal ("emotional"): Human-based matters. *Impersonal ("logical"): Nonhuman-based matters.

Feeling Functions (Fx): Judgment metrics oriented towards people and inter/personal matters. Emotional reasoning.

Thinking Functions (Tx): Judgment metrics oriented towards things and impersonal matters. Logical reasoning.

Intuition Functions (Nx): Perceiving processes oriented towards intangible information. Abstract perception.

Sensing Functions (Sx): Perceiving processes oriented towards tangible information. Concrete perception.

Eight Cognitive Functions (putting it all together)

*Judging Functions:

Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Reasoning based on external inter/personal effects—emotional consequences. "What should be valued."

Extraverted Thinking (Te): Reasoning based on external impersonal effects—logical consequences. "What should work."

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Reasoning based on internal inter/personal alignment—emotional particularities. "What feels right to me."

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Reasoning based on internal impersonal alignment—logical particularities. "What makes sense to me."

*Perceiving Functions

Extraverted Sensing (Se): Perceiving based on external concrete exploration—unfiltered gathering of tangible information. "What is."

Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Perceiving based on external abstract exploration—unfiltered gathering of intangible information. "What if."

Introverted Sensing (Si): Perceiving based on internal concrete narrowing down—filtering tangible information. "What has been."

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Perceiving based on internal abstract narrowing down—filtering intangible information. "What will be."

I made this based on my understanding of Psychological Types by Carl Jung. Click here if you'd like to view the guide in a different format and see the direct quotes i used from Jung's book.

Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the sun and light, poetry, and more.

Types Of Writer’s Block (And How To Fix Them)

1. High inspiration, low motivation. You have so many ideas to write, but you just don’t have the motivation to actually get them down, and even if you can make yourself start writing it you’ll often find yourself getting distracted or disengaged in favour of imagining everything playing out

Try just bullet pointing the ideas you have instead of writing them properly, especially if you won’t remember it afterwards if you don’t. At least you’ll have the ideas ready to use when you have the motivation later on

2. Low inspiration, high motivation. You’re all prepared, you’re so pumped to write, you open your document aaaaand… three hours later, that cursor is still blinking at the top of a blank page

RIP pantsers but this is where plotting wins out; refer back to your plans and figure out where to go from here. You can also use your bullet points from the last point if this is applicable

3. No inspiration, no motivation. You don’t have any ideas, you don’t feel like writing, all in all everything is just sucky when you think about it

Make a deal with yourself; usually when I’m feeling this way I can tell myself “Okay, just write anyway for ten minutes and after that, if you really want to stop, you can stop” and then once my ten minutes is up I’ve often found my flow. Just remember that, if you still don’t want to keep writing after your ten minutes is up, don’t keep writing anyway and break your deal - it’ll be harder to make deals with yourself in future if your brain knows you don’t honour them

4. Can’t bridge the gap. When you’re stuck on this one sentence/paragraph that you just don’t know how to progress through. Until you figure it out, productivity has slowed to a halt

Mark it up, bullet point what you want to happen here, then move on. A lot of people don’t know how to keep writing after skipping a part because they don’t know exactly what happened to lead up to this moment - but you have a general idea just like you do for everything else you’re writing, and that’s enough. Just keep it generic and know you can go back to edit later, at the same time as when you’re filling in the blank. It’ll give editing you a clear purpose, if nothing else

5. Perfectionism and self-doubt. You don’t think your writing is perfect first time, so you struggle to accept that it’s anything better than a total failure. Whether or not you’re aware of the fact that this is an unrealistic standard makes no difference

Perfection is stagnant. If you write the perfect story, which would require you to turn a good story into something objective rather than subjective, then after that you’d never write again, because nothing will ever meet that standard again. That or you would only ever write the same kind of stories over and over, never growing or developing as a writer. If you’re looking back on your writing and saying “This is so bad, I hate it”, that’s generally a good thing; it means you’ve grown and improved. Maybe your current writing isn’t bad, if just matched your skill level at the time, and since then you’re able to maintain a higher standard since you’ve learned more about your craft as time went on

"People mostly write and read very character driven, specific ship focused fic, because what most people want out of fanfiction is to focus on the romance between characters they're not getting in canon so they can soak in the vibes."

Yes, absolutely. And thank hell for all the authors who write character-driven, ship focused fic for us to soak in the vibes to.

But also…

thank hell for all the authors who write angst, whump, and hurt no comfort, for us to luxuriate in blorbo's hurt and pain and cry or cackle.

thank hell for all the authors who write cheating, love triangles and affairs for us to consume large quantities of popcorn to and yell 'oh no, they didn't'.

thank hell for all the authors who write case fic, mission fic, and intricate, plot-driven stories to replicate the feel of canon, when canon has stopped or gone wrong.

thank hell for all the authors who write 'fix it' fics when canon has betrayed us with bad vibes, plot holes and deaths.

thank hell for all the authors who write poly ships when what we need is just for everyone to get along and screw instead of screw up.

thank hell for all the authors who write gen fic when we're not interested in romance.

thank hell for all the authors in fandom, and all the wonderful, different kinds of fanfiction they write for us.
