thoughts when you stick the foot out the blanket at 3am (it is meant to fade out like that at the bottom, it’s a visual representation of me shutting myself up)
Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?
I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.
a while back i read a post along the lines of “if you feel like everyone hates you, it’s time to rest… if you feel like you hate everyone else, it’s time to eat” and honest to god i’ve never used any piece of advice more than i have that one
I always add on “if you feel like you hate yourself, it’s time to take a shower” to turn it into a trifecta.
Soul-cleaving emotional problems require very basic biological solutions.
A few years ago, I went to an anatomy conference and they had a huge 3D printed vampire skull, and these thoughts have been on my mind ever since I saw the teeth up-close.
The under-utilized potential for this bothers me a lot… like in movies… it’s just bite and done!
What happened to ritual shaving or elaborate skin engraving?
I know a lot of artists/writers follow me…. can you guys do Vampires a solid?
These are all based on their in voice lines which can be found in the game or here!:
Barbara and Venti are friends! despite what happened to the holy lyre. Barbara comments that Venti has a really amazing voice while Venti says her voice is really sweet. Implying they either sang together or watched each other perform!
Xiangling used to be part of Beidou’s crew! Beidou and her crew often misses Xiangling’s cooking while Xiangling has nothing but admiration for Beidou. Beidou often gets her fresh seafood ingredients which she experiments on
Razor is a student of Lisa! Lisa thought him how to control his vision and seem to be quite fond of him. They often do combat practice together even though Lisa doesn’t like doing work she puts effort on teaching razor
Chungyun doesn’t like Xiao that much even though he respects him a lot for what he has done for Liyue. Xiao’s attitude towards mortals puts him off. This also implies that chungyun has at least have either met him or knew him through someone else that had direct contact
Apparently, a lot of characters have a bad impression of Ningguang, most notably xiangling, xingqui, and keqing. Beidou seems to have a negative impression of her as well but doesn’t really care. This makes her the most disliked playable character in game so far
A lot of Knights of Favonius members seems to either be smitten or respect (or both) a future playable character named Albedo (the head alchemist of the knights.) Kaeya and Lisa remarks that he is quite good looking while the rest respects him a lot (Klee remarks that he is her friend). Venti is wary of him though
The character with the most voiced lines about them is Jean! Jean is the most respected character in Mondstadt while Zhongli in Liyue. Funnily enough, characters who have lines about Jean have met her while characters who have lines about Zhongli haven’t or me him at least once
Xiao is the only character who is mentioned by Qiqi in memory format. Since Qiqi has no memories of her previous life and have trouble remembering things for a long time (even the face of her caretake), this may imply that Xiao might have left a strong impression on Qiqi before she died.
Venti and Mona know each other! Venti remarks that both have similarities of having jobs that would make a person poor (bard & Fortunetelling). Mona doesn’t dare to read fortune abouts Venti due to a previous incident
Additional:
Mona asks the traveler where Paimon comes from and says: I cannot seem to discern a single shred of information regarding this floating fairy’s fate meaning that Paimon most likely isnt from Teyvat
Noelle loves spending time with Barbara and vice versa! They have tea breaks together sometimes, Barbara usually hums/writes songs while Noelle makes snacks for them. Barbara comments that Noelle is just the cutest!
Diluc has the most “bad impressions” in mondstadt due to his status of being an ex knight which put a lot of strain on his relationship with most of the characters. Though Barbara thought Diluc might have disliked her performance due to him frowning at her one time
Kaeya is probably the character with the most suspicion directed at. While he is praised and respected for the skill as a knight, characters like Diluc (obv), Amber and Sucrose are wary of him because of how he acts
Varka, The grand master of mondstadt seems to be respected a lot by the knights, most notably Jean and Kaeya. Diluc on the other hand seems to dislike him a lot and hinted to be one of the reasons why he left. He was also the one who gave Razor his name
Xiangling, Chongyun and Xinqui are the only 3 characters that all have each other in their own voice lines with a positive reaction. Xinqui drags Chongyun to eat with him at Xiangling’s resto very often, most likely to poke fun at him for not handling spicy food well.
Barbara is really good friends with Lisa! and says that if Lisa ever becomes a star she’ll support her until her voice turn hoarse.
While Ningguang is currently the most disliked PLAYABLE character the most hated character is actually someone called Hu Tao! Xiangling, Xinqui, Chongyun and Qiqi (especially) despises them for their overall attitude, pranks & jokes. Howeve Xiao seems to think that she is funny.
Ganyu, the secretary of Ningguang has a small assistant named Yaoyao who is a dendro user! Ganyu, Ningguang and Beidou dotes on her a lot (though Ningguang doesnt like to show it). Yaoyao is also a fellow chef and a junior of Xiangling!
Chongyun & Xinqui seem to have a mutual distaste for a character named Xinyan! Nothing on a personal level, it’s just because she plays rock music (which disturbs Xinqui’s reading) and her concerts are filled with flames (which bothers Chongyun). Xiangling likes her though!
Xinqui and Xiangling are the only characters from Liyue to have voice line for a character in Mondstadt! (For now) Though both characters are yet to be released (Albedo and Dionna). On the other side, Venti is the only one who has a voiceline for a character in Liyue (Morax). If all of Xiao’s line from the closed beta are added in canon then he would be included for his line on Venti!
They forgot the part where the ambulance actually stopped to let the cat in
oh good I was worried
What a good cat. What a kind cat. How can anyone not love cats they are so good and loving.
they also forgot the part where they only found the baby because masha was screaming her head off bc she knew this baby was in danger. she went around outside the alley the next morning and yelled at passerby until she got one to follow her to the baby. she kept him warm all night and then made sure someone found him. she was adopted after this bc she was a stray and is in a loving home and is a hero
Hero cat
Thank you, Masha, you’re such a good girl.
See.
Kittens can’t regulate their own body temperature. That’s why they pile up.
Cats see us as colony members.
Masha saw a kitten that was on its own, no mommy, no other kittens to cuddle with. She instinctively knew that was a cold kitten. She knew that a kitten alone on a cold night was very likely to die. Because a kitten would have died too.
So, all she was doing was what any good colony member does - protecting the abandoned kitten. Then when the abandoned kitten’s mommy didn’t come back, she called the rest of the colony for help.
People have this bizarre idea that housecats don’t have a social sense. They do, and it saved this kid’s life. And possibly Masha’s too, as life on the streets is dangerous for a kitty.
We say “good dog” all the time, but Masha was being a very, very good cat…not just by human moral standards but by feline ones.
I can’t stress enough that people need to be aware that there are doctors who are “just okay” at their jobs. Who barely passed their boards and/or had to retake courses and/or had scores so low they even had a hard time matching at the end of med school.
Please seek second opinions. Third, even. Ask the doctors endless questions. Challenge them if something doesn’t feel or sound right. Don’t stroke their egos by being intimidated by their perceived intelligence.
before i had gotten close with ex-catholics i was under the assumption that “catholic guilt” was mostly about sex, or serious topics.
but i was naïve. it’s apparently about every positive experience. enjoying a meal? you’re so lucky, children are starving. spending your day off cosy in bed? wow, so selfish, homeless people are freezing to death.
every former or present catholic i’ve met has a very obvious anxiety disorder and it’s so painfully not a coincidence.
tumblr is such a unique experience in 2021 because it’s probably the only place on the internet, or in real life, really, where there is absolutely no point. there is no agenda, and no purpose, it’s just a place i can create this little bubble of art, and self-expression, and poetry, and live in it peacefully. scrolling through my blog and appreciating photography, fashion, literature, etc. just feels like a beautiful respite from everything outside of this website? no news no performance no productivity just pure vibes
