#i want that sense of accomplishment

[beaulesbian]

Shanks always said that if the path to what you want seems too easy, then you're on the wrong path.

#roronoa zoro #one piece #zolu #monkey d. luffy #oplaedit #it's about zoro drifting on the sea without a purpose to the point of letting the marines capture him. but still having that dream #and with luffy seeing a chance to actually accomplish that. by his side. and by the end of s1 they have a whole crew! #its about zoro being always lost but within a few days of knowing each other the directionless sense points him towards luffy. #its about zoro seeing how serious luffy is about his own dream. how stubborn and determined he is to become the pirate king no matter what #and how luffy and zoro knew each other only for a few hours/days but already understood so well what the other is about!! #like zoro knowing the garp thing wasn't that big of a deal if luffy didn't want to tell them at first #and luffy knowing enough about dreams to not discourage zoro from fighting mihawk. not standing in the way of his dream. #and how much it hurt luffy to think he wasnt a good captain.. but he had zoro! like in the early days - #it was just the two of them (even if more here but lets just say.. zoro was always the first. the anchor. the stability to luffy) #why am i emo about opla again #uhh captain and his first mate #one piece live action #mine #gif:one piece #gif:opla #opgraphics

The way she's literally a KingSlayer, one of, if not the most, hottest thing you could be in any medieval/fantasy settling, and people decides to be the most annoying bitch asses ever about it because they don't like elain is quiet and cried once 💀

#elain archeron #pro elain #it's so lame but tbh this books are lame sometimes so i guess it attracts people like that #there's so much fun directions for someone as elain nd yet you'll see them dismiss her accomplishments and wanting her far away from plots #that would make NO sense if she wasn't involved in them in the first place like .... #nesta beheaded him but did not made the killing blow so therefore she's more like the KingSlayer assistant but people love to play ignorance

i don’t ship them but there’s so much untapped potential in sydney and carmy’s unspoken rivalry like it’s the most interesting part of their dynamic for me personally. there’s lots of people who interpret their relationship as mentor/mentee and while i do get that and enjoy that narrative as well sydney is more than competent and proves herself to be carmy’s equal in multiple instances: her typing up a comprehensive breakdown of the beef’s expenses and how they could be handled better, her initiative to create a brick oven when the power goes out at the beef, her instantly knowing the missing component to the plum dish was veal fat. i think carmy and sydney are more like precarious equals because carmy is obviously a more experienced chef than her and he’s gifted and very driven but so is sydney and though he initially relishes in having someone with the experience to understand him and operate on his level, his ego is bruised when sydney lands a stellar review for the beef on a recipe he told her wasn’t good enough yet and he lashes out at her for it so clearly his feelings towards her aren’t always entirely selfless. this on top of the fact jaw said himself there was a subtle unspoken air of competitiveness between him and ayo while they were undergoing culinary training i think that definitely bleeds into their onscreen dynamic with carmy and sydney; the end of e8 sees carmy “making amends” with sydney by discussing the future of the restaurant with her but personally i think the stability of their relationship is tentative at best. they might agree with each other and appear to be on the same page now but how long is that going to last realistically? the more i think about it the more i can see them butting heads over similar issues again in s2 just because they’re both such equally strong willed characters and that’s genuinely exciting and interesting! sydney admires carmy but she isn’t afraid to stand up to him and i think a part of carmy still holds onto that competitive mindset he developed while working his way up to the top and it’s going to take a loooottt for him to unlearn that and it’s not something that can be accomplished just within one season or even two. i think lots of people think of carmy and sydney as being partners/the only people who can “understand” one another in regards to their histories in fine dining and while they do relate to one another in some regards i personally see them as opposing forces with their own respective goals and visions which is great actually and i can’t wait to see what direction each of their characters go in individually and what the storyline has in store for them

#if anyone has read change by axewound on ao3 that’s such a good fic that captures the fundamentals of sydcarm’s relationship for me #i think about the line that carmy only has her on borrowed time and that one day sydney is going to pick herself back up and start her own #place again a lot because it just makes sense for her. i want to see sydney succeed and have her dreams/visions realized because carmy will #only compromise so much with the bear since it very much is his own dream that he shared with mikey and while i think the point of the show #is to reveal that there’s only so much you can accomplish alone and that having a reliable network of family and support is necessary #i don’t want the endgame for sydney’s character to JUST end with the bear working under someone else even if that someone is carmy #but that’s just me! #my txt #the bear #carmy berzatto #sydney adamu

so many books on my tbr and also so many books i have started but not finished and im thinking about reading dostojevskij instead

#yes it IS to get closer to theo #i felt this way when i read tgf last time too. and read like first 100 pages of the idiot actually but then stopped bc illiteracy etc #but im thinking i should take advantage of this desire to get to know my theo more personally and read some russian literature #just like he in turn read it to get closer to boris #swag #i should! im rlly close to finishing little women #eel book may wait #other books may wait as welll #and the goldfinch will be like my bible now i read it on a whole othr dimension #will keep it on my nightstand and read excerpts for the rest of my life wont stop me from reading other books #that is if i get it for my birthday (doubtful but i will wish for it). i only have the same library copy now as i had in 2019 #(as in i borrowed again didnt steal it from the library promise) i never buy books but if i am to own one it should be this one #i read at a snails pace but want to read so many things this is difficult but lets not stress it should a fun thing not stressful #if i read a little everyday or try to #then 'completing books' and checking them off my list and feeling idk productive/accomplished or something doesnt matter #it will be like a lifelong open book instead #if that makes sense #that ill never be done with #and thats fun

[astromechs]

figuring out i have published nearly 60,000 words of rebelcaptain fic to ao3 in the past year, and that's just the stuff i've published

#definitely thousands of words more lurking in unfinished drafts lmao #like this is... a lot for me #i think my rebelcaptain renaissance happened after the time i needed to truly grow as a writer and become more creatively free #to do what i always wanted to do with them but felt like i didn't have the ability to back in. like. 2017 #because back then i was always so terrified about characterization that i never really accomplished much in general and specifically w them #and it's the point now where i can be so free as to feel like i've truly taken these characters as my OCs #not in the sense of being weirdly possessive over them and saying no one else gets to write them ever or anything stupid like that #but like. taking ownership over my own takes on them. and thus allowing them to live and breathe and yea live rent free in my head #that's what i mean by that #anyway: positive reflections on myself and my journey to overcome my ridiculous perfectionism! #being mentally ill about my blorbo ship has helped that so much LMFAO

Funky outfit time! 💙💚🤎

Based on this meme right here.

Some Molly and Milo facts are under the cut!

Molly likes shopping, she does it over mail order catalogues and then it gets delivered to her house eventually. She mostly orders pajamas but also any other stuff that's sleep related.

If someone were to take Mr. T. Bear away from Molly, no matter wether she's asleep or awake, she'd notice immediately.

Molly was the one who suggested that they should hold hands to not lose each other, since she always holds onto Mr. T. Bear to not lose him.

The place where Molly's intro would be located is a page on the website that's titled "Unused Bits" where unused content for the show is being showcased for the sake of archiving it. The page would have a bit of a different look to it than the other displays on the website and the fact that none of it is canon would be highlighted. Molly wouldn't be the only unused character on the page, but I'm only going to be creating content for her.

Molly's character is kind of just a fun-fact kind of thing thats isn't connected to the main story at all. I think that her and the other hypothetical unused characters on the page would basically be red herrings for theorists.

Molly does have some text transcript concepts, but no audio is available for any of them.

Upon listening to one of the audios on the website I've realized that Howdy said that "Molly" is his aunt's name. Given the fact that there are plenty of random family members he has, they needed a name that somewhat ryhmes with the rest so from now on it's canon that Molly Moon's first name was reused to be the name of one of Howdy's family members.

Milo is a performer at heart, but at this point he very much lacks the motivation to do anything with it.

At least, that's what he thinks... you see, Milo is the kinda person who becomes the center of attention very often without realizing it.

With the way he acts it isn't a surprise, but he's really not doing it on purpose.

Milo collects coffee mugs, which are sorted into two categories:

1.) Mugs that are genuinely pretty and or fancy.

2.) Mugs that have something unhinged and or random written on them.

#my ocs #my oc's #my art #my oc #digital art #digital drawing #digital artwork #chaotic crossover au #funky outfit time #milo #molly moon #making fiends oc #welcome home oc #welcome home original character #I wanted to draw Milo's nightgown right SO BAD. I sat down and went: #'You are putting him in something so over the top that you have to do it justice.' #And it most definitely turned out better than what I expected! #I really tried to make the structure and folds make sense #and I'm still not sure if I accomplished that but I think it's decent! #I finally drew Molly asleep! Took me a while... which totally isn't a bit embarrassing- #They're holding hands! Look at them!! Do you understand my vision?? #Figuring out how to make someone with 4 fingers and someone with blob hands and a thumb hold hands without it looking too weird was... #interesting to say the least- #I finally drew Milo's hair curlers which is a character detail I never mentioned cuz I wanted to draw it here. #Throughout the process of this I was literally the 'It's beautiful. I've been looking at this for five hours now.' meme the entire time-

the day after tomorrow is my birthday & coincidentally but unrelated to that I am going to have a very tough day!!! but hopefully ultimately for the best so I can get out of my shitty apartment!! big things are coming and I am so stressed out

I do not expect anything, but

I have an amazon wishlist w/ some random things I've been wanting, & a venmo (alumirust) or ko-fi if anyone wants to treat me <:3

#mad scrawl #I rly rly want to be able to live somewhere I feel safe n I hope this accomplishes that in some sense >> #for now I sustain my sanity with treats and music and trying to go to the museum when i can #don't worry about rbing this

The fact that i got accepted into boston university and new york university for graduate school kinda makes me realize i shouldve applied myself more when i was looking for undergrad but at least i dont have as many loans and i still met cool professors ^-^

#not to be an elitist but after spending time in my shitty pwi racist undergrad uni i just like #i need some prestige for once #so im glad they accepted me like thats cool #grad skool is expensive tho 🥲 #wanted to celebrate my accomplishments tho because i rarely do that #like yea i actually am good enough for nyu and bu like wtf #being at this lame ass school has warped my sense of intelligence yknow #all the courses have been fucking easy #and i couldnt tell if it was because i was too smart or if i was regressing lol #anyway #:)

odd positioning

alt versions cause i am. indecisive

#i wanted to draw water in some assorted ways which. mission accomplished i suppose #i keep going back and forth on the neon blood in the water and the radial artery though. #i like the artery but i wanna axe the blood bit. but also if i do that then (to me) the aretry doesnt make much sense. ugh #whatever i dont wanna draw this anymore its done for now. im gonna go eat dinner maybe ill play with it more after #doodles #osc #object oc #chaos gang #forgot to mention but this is 100% inspired by a youtube thumbnail i saw #by. hellhunde i think was the name?

A beachy walk-in closet 👗🐚👙

#animal crossing new horizons #acnh #sometimes I get so wrapped up in like. the character that I’ve made that I forget to make sure it’s understandable #like for this character I wanted her to have mostly pink blue and yellow but also aquatic beach mermaidy vibes and ALSO kind of retro #and like. i think I accomplished that but also does it look good? if I hadn’t explained would it make sense? #ultimately these are all for me so I think it doesn’t really matter but it itches at me sometimes

if i ever have to play beyond two souls again im going to kill someone someone’s life ends with me

#the thing about achivement hunting is that it will either prove to you how much you love a game. or make you hate it forever. #like. assassin’s creed origins? i have a platinum in that and i never want to touch it again it was so boring and bad and by the end i was #in pain trying to finish it #mass effect trilogy? i had to beat all three games on insanity and it made me feel cool as fuck when i did. the little bit of grinding in #me1 at the end for power trophies was worth that sense of accomplishment. they’re damn good games. #beyond two souls? i have had to replay black sun. 11 times. at least. trying to see all the fucking endings. because my game wont register #that i have despite having seen all of them. I MIGHT HAVE TO REPLAY IT AGAIN. I HATE THIS FUCKING GAME. I WANT TO BE FREE. #no one is makingnme do this i just like number go up #but if i ever met david cage ill kill him with chainsaws #im so sorry elliot page but i dont want to see your face again for like a year im so tired #like this experience Has let me appreciate some parts of the story that i think were genuinely good ans critique other bits in new ways. #but then i had to experience both of those things like 4 more times in a row. and i want to scream

You know if I had to be 100% honest, I don’t really like writing. Majority of the times, it feels like more of a hassle and a chore instead of something fun to do. I honestly do not enjoy the writing process. It’s why I tend to avoid writing so much. The only reason why I write is because I love to read. I love to read so much that I’m willing to put work into writing things so I have exactly what I want to read at my fingertips. Any struggles or pains I go through writing is worth it in the end when I have a finished piece.

#rambles #it’s crazy how much i avoid writing despite being a writer #the writing process is not satisfying to me #it’s not enjoyable #when i finish a fic i don’t feel any sense of accomplishment #which you’d think you’d feel that when you enjoy your writing so much #but when i red my fics and enjoy them i rarely think of them as mine #when i read them i think ‘this is a good story’ #not ‘MY story’ but ‘A story’ #my stories exist as an entity separate from me #idk if that even makes sense tbh #maybe if i had that mental connection i’d feel satisfaction after finishing stories #which would make me more attached to the writing process #idk what i’m talking about here haha #the writing process is a necessary evil to getting what i want

one of the funniest parts of the new sohm al duty support is seeing estinien yell “KNOW YOUR FOLLY!!!” at a teeny tiny gaelicat before dive-bombing it with his lance. absolutely zero chill that guy

#the fact ysayle doesn't get to comment on how cute they are is outrageous #they didn't give anyone much dialogue in there either #i was a little sad #especially since she only got to be in one of the hw supports #i mean that probably makes sense in terms of the story but i don't remember well enough #still sad though #ffxiv #ffxivmp #mp #estinien wyrmblood #i'm leveling drg right now and starting to suspect that rdm are not actually the most extra job ever #also being complete idiot drg buddies with estinien has made his hw persona a little less obnoxious #love shb and ew estinien for the comedy but wanted hw estinien to get punched in the face #once zenos yeeted him though I was like you know what I'm satisfied with this let's see where he goes from here with a blank slate #sometimes you just wanna see someone get punched and then it's like okay mission accomplished moving on #I purposely replayed that one scion visits you cs to see his since I'd heard about it #and it was comedy gold #it reminds me of the b99 bit where rosa tried climb out a window because her bf was talking about his feelings
