When your Characters Need to Build Trust in their Relationship

High trust levels are key to a healthy, lasting relationship—here are a few tips on how to build trust from psychotherapist and relationship expert Esther Perel.

Trust - the act of feeling comfortable, safe, and cared for in a relationship.

It is a vital bedrock of a successful relationship because it allows each person to be vulnerable with the other and continue to feel supported and sustained.

It encourages teamwork, collaboration, and healthy interdependence and is a sign of emotional intelligence (or, as Esther calls it, “relational intelligence”), effective communication, mutual respect, emotional intimacy, and overall well-being.

In a romantic relationship without a foundation of trust, partners may feel uncomfortable, insecure, or anxious. Sustained trust issues or a complete lack of trust in a long-term relationship can lead to overwhelming emotional strain, burnout, breakup, and even physical and mental health problems.

How to Build Trust With a Romantic Partner

Trust is one of the building block of a healthy relationship. Here are a few different ways to build trust according to Esther:

Determine your relationship to trust and risk. In Esther’s experience, building trust starts with understanding your own needs. “Do you see yourself as someone who needs to trust first? Or do you see yourself more as someone who is more quick at taking risks?” Taking stock of your own needs allows you to “ground yourself in the reality of the here and now” before building trust with a partner. “Some people say that you need to trust someone, a relationship, before you are feeling okay to take risks with that person. But some people will say—and this is how the research divides around trust as well—that it is actually by taking risks that the trust develops.”

Embrace taking micro-risks with your partner. Esther recommends taking very small risks as a way to practice trust-building in a relationship, creating a little trust at a time as you work toward deep emotional intimacy. “A micro risk … is not a specific thing,” she explains. “It’s the thing that I don’t usually do.” Examples of micro risks may be sharing information about your personal life, making an observation of the other person, challenging yourself to say “no” to something, or challenging yourself to ask for something—as long as it’s something you don’t normally do. Once you take the risk, you can see how the other person responds to it and continue building levels of trust (or identify that something isn’t working). “It's an experience that is built through mutuality and reciprocity,” Esther explains.

Learn to navigate breaches in trust. “When [trust] breaks, it feels shattered and unable to ever be put back together,” Esther says. That response is completely normal—breaches in trust hurt, especially in lasting relationships. “But, in fact, [trust] is quite malleable,” she says. “Life and new experiences, like grafting new cells on top, slowly allow us to experience the trust again.” Avoid jumping to conclusions or making hasty judgments—instead, give the other person the benefit of the doubt, allow yourself time to recover from breaches in trust, and then check in with yourself using your new life experiences to decide how to move forward and whether you can repair things. Even when trust decreases, it is possible to slowly rebuild trust through careful, hard work.

“Trust is one of these concepts that suffers from a definitional vagueness. We all know when we feel it, and we all know when we don’t. But what is it? Is it a feeling? Is it a condition? Is it an outcome? Is it a state? What is trust? And the research is all over the place. At the end of many, many, many papers, what you hear is the sentence, ‘The research could use more research on how to define trust.’” —Esther Perel

Scout Roguish Archetype | Scouts that scout, not set up ambushes

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.

This week, as part of a theme most foul, I decided to go upon a foul task and revise our hired killer.

The second the theme this month is tracks, so I used it as an excuse to visit the scout archetype. I'm rather fond of it conceptually, but I will say, I was surprised when I realised that the latter half of its features are a better assassin than the official assassin. They get a second attack as a bonus action and can sneak attack with it too! Damn! That said, as cool as those are, I don't think a scout is best embodied by its ability to do devastating ambushes. Moreover, the rogue's base featureset is pretty good at doing that on it's own if you want to go that way. So, I opted to focus on mobility and detection.

Pathfinder

I won't lie, I couldn't resist calling this pathfinder. I didn't have to, but I wanted to. Anyway, the 5e scout gets nature and survival, which definitely gives it a ranger vibe, which is cool but not really the part of the ranger that fits this concept, instead I decided they'd be really good at navigating, reading maps, and making maps.

Skirmisher

This feature is really good in the base scout, so I kept it, and kind of made it its defining feature

Superior Mobility

While I kept the name of the scout feature, I decided that, as a class that can dash as a bonus action, they don't really need an additional 10 feet of movement speed. But they can probably do with other forms of mobility. Also, if you're going about in nature, not being slowed down sounds like a good idea.

Lookout

I'm not the proudest of this feature, seeing as half of it is part of my modified (and the oneD&D) alert feat, but quite frankly I had to try really hard not to make this subclass the Alert feat archetype. Which I mostly succeeded. But these are important skills for a scout to have. I am amused that it's basically the opposite of the lookout feature the other one gets.

Unfond Farewell

I enjoyed naming this one. This isn't much, but it does give the scout more to do during combat, instead of stuff largely surrounding combat.

Right Place, Right Time

I'm not sure if I'll keep this feature going into 6th dawn, but I have been toying with the concept that this one pulls off for a while. How did the monk or rogue evade the fireball and take no damage? By not being in the area, of course

And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $1 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.

At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:

Poisons: Reapplied

College of Epics

I also have four classes, and two splatbooks over on DriveThruRPG to check out:

The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.

The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.

The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.

Beta Readers Needed for my Manuscript

Hello! Back in 2019, I put out a request for betas on my then-finished manuscript. Since then, the book has MASSIVELY changed. I've fundamentally rewritten it TWICE now, and it's time for a redo. So I'm once again asking if people are interested in beta reading my book!

(working) Title: "And Still the Elements Were Unsatisfied"

Synopsis (aka that thing I’m horrible at):

In a world where the Elements are literal gods with control over the forces of nature, their children, Elementals, exist among humans.  One such Elemental, a thief named Mel, finds herself pulled into a series of events with five others.  Their goal: to defeat a growing threat to the world and the Academy, the seemingly last safe place for Elementals to call home.  Along the way, however, the small group will have to find themselves and their purpose, while sinking deeper into a dichotomy that challenges what they believe in, all the while trying to outsmart the sinister man threatening everything they hold dear.

You’ll enjoy the book if you like:

A colorful cast of diverse queer characters

A protagonist who is canonically asexual and a lesbian

Found family tropes

The moral ambiguity of war, religion, and mass systems of government (and how people try to navigate it)

Strong relationships built off of tragic backstories

Exploring the concept of choice in relation to prejudices, family, and whom you love

Fun fantasy powers and the magic behind them!

Interesting world-building complete with vivid descriptions of an entirely new world

Distinct characters with individual personalities that work well together and apart

As a beta reader, you would do the following:

Reading and responding to the manuscript and leaving comments.

Responding to some specific questions I have (there’s not many)

Tell me your honest reactions to the work!  Who’s your favorite character, who do you think could use better characterization, what scenes do you think could use some more work.  Have fun and spill on your deepest critiques!

You must:

Be over 16 years old.  There’s not any graphic sex scenes or anything, but there’s a lot of cursing, and some sexual content.

Don’t read it if you don’t like it, and let me know if it’s not your cup of tea!

Please be honest and constructively critical!  I want honest critiques, not just gushing.

If you’re interested:

Send me a direct message on Tumblr with:

Your first name

Your email address

What format you’d like the manuscript to be in (I can do .docx or .pdf)

Any questions you might have

I would love you forever if you signed up, but if you can’t, then feel free to signal boost!

Ok so I asked co-pilot for some guidance on how I want my tumblr blog to be

✨ How to Start a Study Blog on Tumblr and Use It to Take Notes

In the age of aesthetic bullet journals and digital productivity, Tumblr has carved out a delightful little niche for academic enthusiasts — enter the studyblr. A study blog on Tumblr isn’t just a place to post your notes; it’s a motivational hub, a community, and an evolving personal archive of your academic journey. If you're dreaming of turning your study sessions into something beautiful and helpful — both for you and others — here's how to get started.

📚 Step 1: Set up Your Tumblr Blog

Starting your studyblr begins with the basics:

Create a Tumblr account at tumblr.com.

Choose a username that reflects your academic interests or goals (e.g., “notebookhaven,” “studywithlana,” or something uniquely you).

Pick a simple, clean theme. Many free Tumblr themes are well-suited for study blogs — minimalist layouts with good typography are your best friend.

📝 Step 2: Decide How You’ll Use Your Studyblr

A study Tumblr can take many forms. Ask yourself:

Will you post digital notes, screenshots, and summaries?

Do you want to share daily study logs or study challenges like “100 Days of Productivity”?

Are you using it as a revision resource, reblogging useful content and organizing it with tags?

Your blog can be as personal or community-oriented as you'd like. Some people write motivational posts and reflections; others use it purely to organize and publish class notes.

🖊️ Step 3: Take and Share Notes

You can create original posts directly in Tumblr's editor or design your notes elsewhere (e.g., Notion, OneNote, or Google Docs) and screenshot or paste them in:

Use clear formatting: headers, bullet points, highlights.

Add subject-specific tags so others can find your posts (#biology, #studyspo, #notes).

Include visual flair — aesthetic headers, doodles, or neat handwriting pics (if you take handwritten notes).

Link to longer documents or PDFs through Google Drive or Dropbox if your notes are too long to post natively.

🧠 Step 4: Organize Your Blog Like a Digital Notebook

Tumblr doesn’t have built-in folders, so tags become your best tool for organizing:

Create tags for each subject (e.g., #mathnotes, #historynotes).

You can make a navigation page using Tumblr’s HTML editor to link each tag — it’s like a clickable table of contents for your blog.

Keep things tidy by tagging by type as well: #originalpost, #printables, #revisiontips, etc.

🌍 Step 5: Join the Studyblr Community

One of the best things about Tumblr is the vibe: it’s collaborative, cozy, and full of people who love learning. You can:

Reblog from other studyblrs to add great content to your feed.

Join study challenges to stay motivated and consistent.

Interact with fellow learners, comment, and cheer each other on — it makes a difference.

🎯 Final Tips

Don’t feel pressure to be “aesthetic” all the time. Functionality and consistency matter most.

Set small goals for your blog — maybe one post a week or one new note set per subject.

Track your own academic journey. Future-you will be grateful.

Tumblr might not be the newest platform, but it’s perfect for expressive, niche communities like studyblrs. By turning your study process into shareable content, you can build both discipline and creativity — plus, your notes might just help someone else ace their exam.

What I look for in a tabletop role-playing game

Just my thoughts on what makes a game interesting.  Not necessarily good or bad, just what I would like to see in a game.  

First off, I want my games to be all in one book.  All you need to get started playing is just a single rulebook.  I prefer physical books but I’ll take both physical and digital.  I want the book to include a brief intro about the game, have the next section go over the game rules, then go over the setting, and the final part of the book will go over character creation.  Referee options, like challenges or bestiaries, can either be with the game rules or in a section after character creation.  I have yet to find a book that puts things in this order, but hopefully with my large collection of books I’ll finally find the order.  

The reason I want the book organized like this is that you need to understand the game mechanics in order to know how you want to build your character.  You also need to know the game setting to come up with a story for your character.  Finally, in most systems, character building takes up the majority of the book.  Especially in more complicated games with lots of character options.  Having the book organized this way will also increase the likelihood of players actually READING THE DAMN RULES.

Last thing about the game book.  Hardcover, paperback, pdf I don’t care.  But make your books easy to read and navigate!  Have a key on the fore-edge of the book in different colors so if you know the colors you can jump to that section.  Also an index!  Have an index please so you can find which pages talk about your special game mechanics.  Use colors and font size to define both hierarchy and sections in your layout, please don’t just have a white page with black text.  Finally, please use sans-serif fonts!  They’re so much easier to read than Times New Roman or Baskerville.

I also like looking for safety tools in my game books.  People who regularly play ttrpgs tend to know about lines, veils, surveys, and x-cards.  But not everyone does!  If a new player picks up your game and you don’t have a safety section you as a designer are depriving them of an important resource.  Also sometimes game designers think up new ones or have an interesting take so I like to learn.  

I don’t care how complex or simple the game system is, I just want it to be interesting and work.  I started with 3.5 and Pathfinder 1st edition so I do have a preference for more complicated games with lots of character options but only if they’re interesting or established.  I also like my systems to be loose enough that you can easily homebrew additional mechanics, change mechanics, or make new in game material.  I like to homebrew, it’s fun.  

[loregoddess]

made some progress in Tactics Ogre (but not a lot I'm still in ch1 despite clearing multiple maps? wild)--have a better feel for the mechanics, and they aren't so bad to navigate as I first thought.

The "battles and cutscenes ONLY" pacing is wild, like I don't have time to chat with any of the other characters to get a sense for how they feel about shit, which like, I know this is a remaster of a PSP game, and that "getting to chat w/ your units" is a more recent trend in srpgs, but it's still like damn okay, we're just moving right along then (kinda nostalgic feeling though)

honestly really enjoying it a lot so far though. The battle mechanics are fun (similar to TriStrat w/ needing to take weather, elevation, positioning, etc. into account, but SIGNIFICANTLY more forgiving than TriStrat battles which always felt a bit more challenging to me compared to other srpgs I've played); and I'm really enjoying the characters and story so far...although I do wish for like, an in-game atlas or something so I can keep country names and stuff straight (I did remember it was originally a PSP game though, which meant it had to have been released with a physical manual, and lo and behold I did find a PDF of said game manual and it contains a bit of the worldbuilding/setting info I've been very ??? about so, thank goodness for PDFs of old game manuals)

so yea, fun game so far!

Any tips on learning python? I already know Java, C++, and JavaScript.

Hiya! 💗

Since you already know those other languages, Python will be literally a piece of cake. It'll be easy for you, in my opinion.

Tips? I would say:

Start with the Basics: Begin by understanding the fundamental syntax and concepts of Python. After learning those, you can basically apply the languages you know logic into Python code and you'll be done. You can use online tutorials on YouTube or free online pdf books to get a good grasp of the basics.

Leverage Your Programming Experience:Like I mentioned Python shares similarities with many languages, so relate Python concepts to what you already know. For example, understand Python data types and structures in comparison to those in Java, C++, or JavaScript.

Projects and Practice:I sing this on my blog but practice is crucial. Start small projects or challenges to apply your Python knowledge. Depends what you want to build e.g. console apps, games, websites etc. Just build something small every so often!

Hope this helps! More tips I made: ask 1 | project ideas | random resources

Mindy Kaling Instagram

Mindy Kaling’s Instagram profile (@mindykaling) is a vibrant collection of personal anecdotes, promotional content, and cultural commentary. As a celebrated Indian-American writer, actress, and producer, Kaling uses her platform to explore themes of identity, diversity, and representation. Her posts often highlight her experiences navigating Hollywood as a woman of color, showcasing her pride in her heritage while also celebrating her multifaceted identity. Through humor, wit, and visually engaging content, Kaling fosters conversations about race, ethnicity, and intersectionality. Her Instagram aligns with topics discussed in Gregory Jay’s “What is Multiculturalism,” which explores the importance of celebrating diverse identities in a society that often marginalizes non-white narratives. Additionally, her posts mirror the insights in Sturken and Cartwright’s Practices of Looking, where visual culture is shown to influence societal perceptions of power, identity, and inclusion.

Kaling’s Instagram prominently represents racial and ethnic identities, often addressing the complexities of being a South Asian woman in a predominantly white entertainment industry. She shares content celebrating traditional Indian festivals, such as Diwali, alongside posts promoting her Hollywood projects, such as The Mindy Project and Never Have I Ever. By doing so, she bridges her Indian heritage with her American experiences, showcasing the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, and gender. These representations align with Chela Sandoval’s discussion in “Chicana/o Artivism,” which emphasizes the role of artists of color in creating spaces for their communities through digital media. Furthermore, her posts challenge the invisibility of South Asian voices in popular culture, a concept echoed in Peggy McIntosh’s “White Privilege Checklist,” which underscores how whiteness is often positioned as the default in Western media. Kaling’s ability to navigate and challenge these norms creates a platform for celebrating diversity while addressing the systemic barriers that persist in the entertainment industry.

Mindy Kaling’s Instagram also reflects the broader discussions of racial and ethnic representation in popular visual culture.

I took a sip from my cup of hot water—we couldn’t even afford tea these days—as Nesta continued her story to Elain. “Well, I said to him, ‘If you think you can just ask me so nonchalantly, sir, I’m going to decline!’ And you know what Tomas said?” Arms braced on the table and eyes wide, Elain shook her head.

I think there is a part where Elain does feel that Lucien is entitled to her, given how venomous Graysen's words were towards her and the prejudices towards the fae being animalistic. Feyre didn't have that hesitation, but Nesta absolutely did, so it's not unfathomable for me to believe that Elain would align with her beliefs.

We have never seen Lucien act on this entitlement, and I've thought about there being some sort of conversation/argument in the beginning, clearing up the past years and effectively clearing the slate

So, here is the vision since SJM does like to plot according to holidays:

Nynsar marks the beginning of Elain's feelings for him. By Calanmai, the lines between their bond and genuine emotions blur, as Lucien may initially attribute her responses to the bond. The turning point comes during Summer Solstice when Elain decides to either accepts the bond or fully acknowledges her feelings, possibly culminating by the end of the celebration.

Nynsar presents a unique opportunity for Elain and Lucien, offering a juxtaposition to Feyre's earlier comment about Azriel's interest. Lucien, taking this minor holiday seriously and mirroring Feysand's pivotal Starfall, emerges not just as 'her mate' but someone genuinely interested in her hobbies. This occasion becomes a stepping stone for Lucien to engage Elain in conversations about Prythian's flowers, gradually breaking down the preconceived image she holds of him.

Tarquin and Rhys had been talking lightly, both already sounding bored, of the approaching Nynsar—of the native flowers that both courts would display for the minor, brief holiday. Calanmai wouldn’t be too long after that.

Calanmai, I still believe, will be where lines are starting to blur. I know some people hope that this is where Elain accepts the bond but I still see Calanmai being 'Feysand's holiday,' considering that she met Rhys on Calanmai one year and accepted the bond the next year but we haven't seen it to how the Spring Court celebrates it. I think a huge chunk of the angst and denial would come here where Elain can't stand the idea of Lucien performing the rite with someone else and Lucien wanting to make sure he doesn't cross that boundary with Elain. When they do cross that line, Lucien would feel the guilt for putting Elain in that position and Elain would have to grapple whether it's the bond or her that pushed for him to choose her as the maiden.

“Solstice celebrates when the sun outshines the night. As the longest day of the year, it’s a time when everyone can take down their hair and simply enjoy being a faerie - not a High Fae or faerie, just us, and nothing else” “So there’s singing and dancing and excessive drinking,” Lucien chimed in, falling into step besides me. “And dallying,” he added with a wicked grin.

Weird that my hardcopy has one version but the pdf has another version so this is from my hardcopy.

The Summer Solstice marks a crucial moment for Elain and Lucien, culminating in a potential acceptance of their bond. As Elain, who has grappled with the challenges of being Made, navigates this celebration, a significant realization may dawn upon her – an acknowledgment of her deepening feelings for Lucien. The symmetry of her journey, coming full circle to acceptance, could be a powerful narrative choice. Whether she accepted the bond suddenly, akin to its unexpected snap, or recognizes her love for Lucien, the grand festivities of singing, dancing, excessive drinking, and, of course, dallying
