“In an experiment revealing the importance of having friendships, social psychologists have found that perceptions of task difficulty are significantly shaped by the proximity of a friend. In their experimental design, the researchers asked college students to stand at the base of a hill while carrying a weighted backpack and to estimate the steepness of a hill. Some participants stood next to close friends whom they had known a long time, some stood next to friends they had not known for long, and the rest stood alone during the exercise. The students who stood with friends gave significantly lower estimates of the steepness of the hill than those who stood alone. Furthermore, the longer the close friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared to the participants involved in the study. In other words, the world looks less difficult when standing next to a close friend.”
— my new favorite psychological study, done by Schnall, Harber, Stefanucci, and Proffitt and published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

Average Pacific Rim Headcanons
A local ice cream place offers kaiju blue milkshakes for sale (berry flavored with lime). A sign says that percentage of the profits are donated to kaiju blue poisoning treatment research.
If you were in school and lived in a coastal Pacific city during the kaiju war, you had kaiju escape drills.
You had PPDC officials come to your school looking for drift compatible students.
You know a girl who claims that she can channel the kaiju. She has a small online following who hang on to her every word.
Construction projects are delayed or halted in your city as iron is redirected to the jaeger program.
Anytime you and your friends say something at the same time, you joke about being drift compatible. Part of you hopes you really are.
If you were in college, you considered changing your major to biology or engineering, if it wasn't that already.
You follow several scientists researching kaiju or the breach on social media. Some work for the PPDC, some work for private labs or university labs. Some would host AME sessions. You watch as the scientists working for the PPDC all eventually announce that they've been let go and are going to work elsewhere now.
You follow several rangers on social media. One by one, they stop posting. Their deaths are announced on the news.
People joke about sending the citizens of Philadelphia to fight kaiju. They're so good at crushing invasive spotted lantern flies, they should be good at destroying kaiju.
Scientists announce the discovery of a bacteria that eats kaiju blue. Several more are eventually found all over the world.

🛼🔪🦴
🛼 ⇢ describe your latest wip with five emojis (omfg this is so fucking stupid a;dslkfj) 😨🧛⁉️🐙🤲 🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project? what IS the weirdest topic i've researched...? offhand, i honestly couldn't tell you every weird ass thing i've gone looking for while writing, but a detail that i remember is specifically looking up when matches were first invented so i could figure out how the fuck someone was lighting a cigarette in a 40k OFMD fanfic that hasn't ever seen the light of day.
spoiler: they definitely hadn't been invited yet in the timeline, but oluwande wears crocs, so i said "fuck it" and used a match anyway lol. OH. AND JET PARTS. LIKE THE SPECIFIC MECHANICS OF AN F15 EAGLE. THEIR COMPONENTS AND FUEL TYPES. writing in the transformers fandom is fucking wild, y'all. 🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 
this varies a lot depending on what i'm writing! but recently i've found that for a lot of the stuff i've written there's A SONG. the song is not necessarily in any way ABOUT the thing i'm writing, but it will hit a chord in me that makes up the tone/vibe/cadence of what i'm writing or it'll inspire a specific scene that the rest of the story is built to encompass lol. and i'll listen to this song NONSTOP when i'm not writing for the duration of the time i'm writing the thing usually lol. a few examples are for I'm Permanently Black and Blue it's How Will I Know by Whitney Houston (and not the song that's the fucking title of the fic, i know). why?? cause i decided knock out listens to whitney houston when he works. that's it lol. for A Beginner's Guide to Caring for Eldritch Entities it's Bang! by AJR. why??? because i saw a couple of cool animatics that used it and then the weird vibe/tone of the song became the foundation for eldritch!mumbo in my head!

Oh I’m an asshole.
So today pulling into Stop and Shop, this lady cut me off and nearly drove into me, and then, when I tried to pass her, she swung to the right and nearly hit me again, and then flipped me off.
So somebody is having a bad day and taking it out on me. That’s fine. It’s harmless, and I don’t know what’s going on in this woman’s life. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt she’s not just a piece of shit and is just having a bad day.
But then I park and she follows me, and gets out of the car and starts swearing at me and getting in my face.
Now I go from “indifferent” to “I’m gonna fuck with this woman’s head.” Now I would say I’m a gentleman of size, and in all black and bemohawked I probably look spookier than I actually am, so props to this lady for getting in my face. Now of course I’m not going to hit her, or even threaten violence. That’s shitty. Nobody should get threatened with violence.
Instead, I take a step back, narrowing my eyes like I’m studying her face really closely, and then I touch one of the several piece of “occulty” jewelry I’m wearing (none of which, by the way, are magicked in any way at all). Then I mumble some nonsense under my breath, and then make the fig gesture and the horns at her.
She stops, wide-eyed.
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?”
I chuckled, and shake my head. “Nothing at all.” I say in a not-terrible convincing voice. “But every time something bad happens to you today, you’re gonna be thinking of me.”
Then I winked at her, and walked away.

did something a little different: i ANIMATED a commission!!
funny story... i was actually just spitballing pose ideas for spot with, and instead of sending my client five different sketch files i just lumped them all into a quick, messy gif for the sake of convenience. turns out the client LOVED it and was willing to pay extra to animate it!! maybe i should do this more often...
since this is a spiritual successor to one of my most popular posts, i'm glad i sprung for that extra work >:3

SCREAMING. just read your Eldritch!Mumbo fic and i really am just AJJCJSKSKAKSJJCJD but verbally <3
i just LOVED the whole thing in and of itself, and i can’t really pick out any individual bit to gush over bc there’s too many !!! though , i Did really enjoy the imagery of when Grian Looked at Mumbo and the vague yet detailed descriptions that await all eldritch beings :)
i hope you have a good day though !! i will certainly read more of your works after reading this :D <3
a;ldksfj AHHH! THANK YOU!!! my gosh!! what a lovely thing to wake up to this morning!!
i really can't tell y'all how NERVOUS i was writing and posting that thing given how new i am to the fandom side of hermitcraft and how unusual it is to most of my writing. but stuff like this is just TRULY the best and makes me wanna indulge the little "what if you wrote MORE" voice so -- seriously, thank you so much!! i'm so, so thrilled you enjoyed it!
