THIS THIS THIS
Failure is a natural part of learning ANYTHING. Don't tangle it up with your self worth and identity.

InkyInGreen 🍂 @blackwallmancer.bsky.social · 9d

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

My Ninja Turtles card from Magic the Gathering was revealed!

Art from the Magic Card “Turtles Forever”
The four teenage mutant ninja turtles appear in a multiverse crossover. Donatello appears to be from the old live action movie, Raphael from the Fred Wolf TV cartoon, Leonardo from the Magic the Gathering TMNT universe, and Michelangelo from the Mirage comics. They are fist bumping and noogie-ing each other in front of a bright cityscape background. Ninjas lay scattered and defeated behind them.

speaking of characters with big pecs

am having crocs and gators on my mind again
so I'm sharing this art I made of brok around the time the game first came out
still such a handsome fella~

art of brok from brok the investigator, as seen from a high angle with him looking up at the viewer, from under his hat

this is why brok wears a tank top underneath that coat of his

it's to make you want to investigate his big chest a little closer

fuerte looks pretty great in a loincloth, no?

(another one of @greatelfuerte.bsky.social 's characters! they're all really cool dudes, but the idea of fuerte in a loincloth compelled me so here he is~)

art of greatelfuerte's character, human fuerte, wearing only a black-and-yellow striped loincloth. he's got both hands on his hips, looming over the viewer as he looks down on them

I don't have a name for this big guy just yet
but let's call him croc

you can lay your head on that chest, just be careful of the spikes

a bust of a big crocodile man named--well, croc--with his body full of purple spikes covering his shoulders, head, and chest, and his cream colored chest looming out onto the viewer

chestnut goes shirtless (or close to shirtless) very often so you get many chances to see those massive bunny pecs of his

sharing this art I made of chestnut with a rather colorful singlet (one of many that he owns)

I'm really happy with the gradient for this and I wanna do more just like it~

it'd be nice to have spike as a friend
just know that he'll occasionally cough up a giant spike ball

I found a sketchbook that I realized that I bought sometime around 2019 and I haven't used it at all up to now

then I recently got into buying stickers at cons/art fairs and I realized this sketchbook can now actually be used as a sticker book
