being into SCP is crazy because a regular occurrence is for you to be sitting on a park bench talking about a work of fiction that changed your entire life and opened your eyes to a whole new world and then the author of that work will walk out of a nearby bush and say "glad you liked it man"

Chicot is one of those fun jokers where he's literally one hundred percent useless in like 75% of scenarios and then kinda helpful in 23% of scenarios and then in like 2% of scenarios if you have him you turn into a God-King

I think there's a difference between to "fuck with" something meaning, like, to vibe with that thing, to approve of or agree with it; vs to "fuck with" something meaning to mess something up

"I fuck with your style" = "I like your style" (good)
"I fucked with the TV" = "I messed up the TV" (bad)

This kinda describes me to a T, there's so many times I've gotten into something, wanted to make it work SO bad, but that gnawing fear that if something goes wrong, it's not just the project that failed, I failed as a person

It's hard untangling that, but I'm trying ❤️

InkyInGreen 🍂 @blackwallmancer.bsky.social · 12d

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.

sometimes I see people be like "I don't like how sexualised this character is in their canon design, so I've redesigned them" and their redesign that is 1) much more modest and less cartoonishly fanservicey than the canon design and 2) infinitely more likely to make me personally go Awooga

if I had limitless stamina and a permanently engaged audience, basically every single conversation with me would be tonally and stylistically indistinguishable from "How The Beverly Hillbillies Changed Everything" (2024/2025)

So Okay Here's the SPOOKY Thing @sookayheresthe.bsky.social · 7d

I think part of the reason that the fantastic iCarly/Beverly Hillbillies series by Quinton and Russ Reviews works so well for me is that the format of "tell someone everything about something, including hour-long tangents about one extremely minor actor" is like EXACTLY how my brain works
