#work harder not smarter

[aaronhardinphoto]

Against my better judgement, I bought a film camera again. I have to say I’m pretty rusty on the old processes. There were chemicals spilled, developing times disregarded, and only partially developed negatives. But that is why you use old expired film before burning the golden stuff. 

Honestly, I miss the joy of making photos. There is something so cathartic about looking through a rangefinder and hoping that you nailed focus. The unknowing is appealing. It is a huge pain to make photos without autofocus, and post-processing is a slog. But there are several newish tools that make it easier and faster (namely “scanning” with a DSLR and a macro and using Negative Lab Pro in Lightroom). 

It won’t be my primary means of image making, but I can already feel a little bit of that naive joy coming back.

MASHLE Incorrect quotes#15 Boyfriend!~

Orter rejected your advances giving you a human with no magic under his care...so when you started to seek out Ryoh romantically even going as far as trying to win him over with a song on his date with his wife...which prompted some feelings on a certain sandy wizard to feel salty and following you around...

Orter*Grabs your mic to stop your singing*-What are you doing?

Y/n: I'm trying to win my boyfriend back!-

♪ I said lose that girl.. ♪♪

Orter: What boyfriend?

Y/n: Ryoh!

Orter*Forgetting he has your mic, his voice echoes* Ryoh's not your boyfriend, I'm your boyfriend!?-...

Y/n: Say that again? Orter: Mm-mm

Y/n*Taking out a recorder with a smirk*That's okay, I have it right here~

Orter: 'I'm your boyfriend'

Orter: Oh, boy...

You Rewind the tape with a grin

Orter: 'I'm your boyfriend'

Orter: 'I'm your boyfriend'

Ryoh: Orter? what are you doing here?

Y/n*Hugging Orter's arm gleefully* We're on a date!~He's my boyfriend, I'm his S.O~ ♪ We're boyfriend & S.O♪♪

Ryoh's Wife: I thought you were our performer at the bistro?...

Y/n*Whistles at her and winks an eye at Ryoh*Wow! She's a keeper~

Y/n: You know what we should do sometime? Double date!How about tomorrow night? Do you guys like Thai?

Ryoh & Wife: Yeah, I love it!~

The three of you leave excitedly about the new dynamic for double dates...leaving Orter behind in his confusion

Working harder on the things that are not working, is not going to make them work.

Simply putting in more effort into a flawed plan or method won't necessarily lead you to success. It's essential to reassess, adapt, and pivot when necessary.

People believe that by simply putting in more hours or effort, they can overcome any obstacle. While working hard is commendable, and in certain cases, it's important that make sure that the effort is directed in the right direction.

When we are faced with challenges, its important to be flexible and willing to change tactics. This might mean re evaluating your goals, or your strategy towards it. You need to be able to adapt to situations and have honest conversations with yourself about what is not working. Without allowing yourself to be open to feedback, either from yourself or others, you are going down a path of wasted effort.

The Sunk Cost Fallacy is an idea that because you have invested time, effort or money into something, that you should continue doing it, even when you are not getting results. It's important to recognize when to cut losses and pivot to a more effective strategy.

Sometimes, the solution isn't about working harder but thinking differently. It is about working smarter, not just harder.

Imagine Dottore comforting you after a bad experience in school.

You would have just finished something you've worked very hard on, something you were genuinely interested in too, perhaps a project or essay or anything in between. You were up late, pouring all of your energy into your research to create the best result you possibly could. And yet, you could never stay awake longer than Zandik, who finally realized what you meant when you always complained about how stubborn he was about sleeping since he was met with the same stubbornness from you in these moments. Still, he was quite impressed with your dedication to your work. Though he may not share the same interests as you always, may have even found some of them frivolous at first, he can respect your passion for them.

You would frequently stress over it and fret over everything, which Zandik was slightly exasperated at because you're the most competent person he knows in the whole Akademiya. You don't need to be so doubtful of yourself, he knows you very well and is confident in your intelligence. But of course, he'll edit and read over your work when you beg him to, unsurprisingly it's able to keep his attention unlike much of his peers' work. You would thank him for all of his help, but he would only chide you for that, since you were being far too modest as you were the one who did all the work. He has no worries about your grade, having the utmost confidence, hell, his picky self approved it. That lessened your anxiety a lot as you waited for the verdict.

Unfortunately, it turns out to be the opposite. See, Zandik is no stranger to his work being ignored and ridiculed as well, which he's gotten used to at this point, (though you've become the one person who's always willing to listen) but it still infuriates him to see others at the Akademiya not take you seriously. Zandik's hands feel out of place and unusual holding you as you weep into his chest, but it seems to make you feel a bit better so he doesn't protest. He lets you cry about how rude the professor was for no reason. About how it feels like everything you've worked and studied for has been diminished. How it hurts to have such hard work reduced to nothing.

There's only so much comfort Zandik can provide with his body in this situation, so he does what he does best - hard, indisputable facts. His view of you and your intelligence is very set in stone. He won't let anyone convince him or you to think differently, and he tells you to ignore all others who disagree. He sees how hard you work even if others have the gall to deny it, and that your work will always reflect that nature of yours. And he, for one, will always be willing to listen and appreciate, just as you do for him. He sees what a fascinating mind you have, and that will always be more than enough for him.

#smooches talks #dottore love notes <3 #can dottore do my math hw while i do all the writing #we would be a good pair #we would both get kisses and A's in return #work smarter not harder #this may be bad. but i wanted to get something out there 😭

You should draw fem Jonshi like the one South Park Yaoi episode. Please please please it’d be so funny.

First request completed and it was… interesting lmao, but I also can’t lie and say it wasn’t fun to complete

Drawing in other art styles is so much fun, even if the first drawing gave me middle school flashbacks

#I love any excuse I can get to draw lesbians 😍🫶👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🤩💖 #I drew Janet Cage in Johnny Cages outfit bc it was easier #same with fem Kenshi kinda #and same with just putting a liu Kang Halloween costume over my liu kang drawing 💀 #work smarter not harder #johnshi yuri #johnshi #johnny cage #janet cage #kenshi takahashi #kenshi #lord liu kang #liu kang #kitana #liutana #just a tiny bit #mk1 #mk1 fanart #mk fanart #mortal kombat #mortal kombat fanart #technically South Park as well ig #idk really but I’ll tag it here #south park #my art #also if you’d like a request filled just drop one #I just can’t guarantee it’ll be completed quickly lol

Wylan: Jesper bet me that he could make a piece of paper fly further than I could, so he spent 10 minutes making the fanciest paper airplane that Ive ever seen, and to be fair it did fly pretty far

Wylan: But the look on his face when I crumpled mine into a ball and launched it across the house was priceless 👌🏻
