Like one of the reasons I'm so entranced by daring is a character is how he's so self-centered but sooooo unapologetically kind and earnest to other people. He acts with a frankly egregious sense of grandeur that is definitely in part an act an act, yes, but he's willing to admit his mistakes so easily. He's so quick to accept and forgive and it's so clear the happiness of other people is something he deeply values. Prince Charmings are raised to be grand heroes with zero fear, but at their core they're about helping others and being there for them. Daring might not be a destined prince charming anymore, but he exemplifies the core aspect of kindness for kindness's sake without ever asking for anything in return. There's something poetic about it. He couldn't save someone when acting as Prince Charming, but when he was just being himself, genuinely just trying to help someone in danger, he did save them. Daring has a bleeding heart and hides it under the illusion of self-importance. I don't believe that it's all an act, I think he does very much love himself (even if it can get unhealthy) but it's so clear he loves other people just as much. There's a reason he's the gold standard of prince Charmings, and it's not his brevity or combat skills.

This was going to be a panel of a little comic but I got too invested in drawing minute background details so, here.

Literal top priority for your own consistent success is learning not to care what people think/convincing yourself it does not matter. It truly does not and never will. It's human nature to seek validation thru peer approval but the biggest and genuinely only literal obstacle in life, in many cases, is your own fear of looking dumb and the inability to take initiative because of it. There are so many things that I did in the public eye and felt self conscious about like posting a brand deal or doing specific things for certain jobs because i was aware certain people *might* possibly see and thus form a fleeting opinion. And then I started rationalizing it to myself like wtf it's not as if they're paying my bills? So why would i let a literal hypothetical reaction prevent me from taking risks/taking on new experiences so that I can pay mine. And it literally changed something in my brain. Like truly even if someone dogs u to your actual face about something you do/post, it's not as if you're still somehow achieving anything by not doing said thing in the first place. So view it from the perspective that the only person ACTUALLY being effected is you. And I wholeheartedly assure u a thousand times over that people do not care half as much as what you think they do. People have so much else to do on a day to day basis than put effort into thinking of you (unless you're like partners etc obviously.) much less debate between themselves whether you're embarrassing or not?? Like if a coworker of mine or acquaintance or family member etc even did or said something GENUINELY embarrassing I'd still only think about it for 12 seconds and completely move on with life. And that is something to find genuine comfort in!

I randomly saw this and...

Based on the way they both dress in the same environment (in a context where Jaskier wasn't just kicked out half dressed from someone's apartment), I'm going to take a wild guess which is which...

What Radovid said: "Redania’s not a bad place. Bit cold in the winter and humid in the summer, but the food is spectacular!"

What Radovid meant:

"Back home, I'm a sad wet cat that likes wearing a thick and heavy fur cloak over a long sleeved shirt and a puffy quilted doublet. I also prefer letting my hair down my shoulders to keep my neck warm, and will enjoy sitting at the very end of the table with my back directly to the fire..."

"But I can be convinced to move away from a direct source of heat with food..."

You deserve compassion for yourself, to feel loved and appreciated, in case anyone haven't told you this today, you matter, and you deserve to put yourself first.

It's extremely annoying tbh that all people know or care about in regards to Coffin of Andy and Leyley is incest when it's in reality an extremely well written character driven tragedy about two kids who are completely abandoned by their parents and a very hostile world, and how a codependency that was absolutely necessary for survival begins to turn them into horrible people as adults. It's an incredibly written tragedy.

Moodboard for my fic ideas #1

Reader and Minho are both exchange students who struggle to fit in. Minho has a hard time with English, and reader is an introvert. They build a friendship and help each other out. Despite Minho’s parents wish to study abroad improving his English in hopes of getting into a top university one day, he secretly keeps practicing his one true passion - dancing. His biggest supporter? Reader. 

"Do you ever dream of becoming like them?" I ask Minho, whose face was illuminated by the purple light of the BTS poster announcing their upcoming concert. He didn't even have to respond, i could see it in his eyes. This was his dream.

I'm tryna come up with a cute nickname for Shen Jiu and one that doesn't involve 'Jiu'. Anyone's got ideas? I've come out of the woodwork to finally start writing a fic yippee

It's a BingJiu fic where both of them are around the same age and are childhood sweethearts. I've already come up with a nickname that SJ uses for LBH, which is Xiao Lian, meaning little lotus. SJ only uses it in his head, but LBH will definitely pester him with his nickname and use it everywhere!

one of the most confusing yet funniest thing that happened in in medalist is actually hikaru's very one-sided beef with tsukasa lol

like damn she really just... hates him huh

but i can understand though, the thing about being kids is that, it takes time for them to understand that everyone have nuance and just because other people have different opinions and ways of doing things from you, doesn't mean they're terrible people...

it's just like rioh and yodaka's whole... thing.

that man literally sees rioh as his own nephew, yet this is the guy who got some of The Most terrible communication skill in the story, and every time he talk to rioh, he just end up hurting that kid... like the beef is so one-sided, i'm glad rioh is able to meet tsukasa and gradually get over his insecurities when it comes to comparing his own success to hikaru herself and yodaka jun lol

also, inori's got her own beef with yodaka too lmao i hope tsurumaikada will let these two confront each other again, maybe without tsukasa to protect her... maybe then we'll see a new side of them 🤔🤔🤔

One time on a first date with a guy, he had asked me why I was so specific about where and how I wanted to meet. I told him, I can always tell whether a man is interested in me from the very first look they give when they walk towards you. And it's important for me that I arrive early so that I can see the man walk towards me. Because they have 1 of 3 looks. 1) is they're just ambivalent and typically they're not attracted 2) the have this awestruck look of interest 3) they are leering almost up and down and it's too sexualized. And they lose interest quickly (and doesn't matter because I'm not interested in this type obviously).

And he asked me which type I found him to fall under. And I told him that he's ambivalent and not attracted. And he was like, nooo that's not the case. But I was like this has never failed me lol. Even though this whole time prior to meeting me, he had built up how attractive he thought I was. Really liked all my pics. And before meeting me and during the date itself, he said Pakistani women are beautiful (he was Bengali). End of the date, he walked me to my car and said let's do it again sometime.

And sure enough, he reached out but kinda mildly, boring - how was your weekend. To which I replied and equally boring response, and it died lol.

I have literally saved so much energy by making sure that I arrive first on a date. This puts me in a more comfortable spot and the guy in a more nervous spot. With you technically "receiving" him. As opposed to the traditional, him receiving you. And in that moment, with him walking towards you there is no pretense. And you can really see their very initial feelings towards you imho.

spto coming out has been such a surreal experience bc before it came out i was like. the one roxie kinnie (at least as far as i was aware, i’m not doubting that there were more out there) & now she has like a million stans and half of me is like “FINALLY other people who understand her the way i do” and the other half is like “i liked her before it was cool. my blorbo. mine.”
