jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged

Well, this checks out for me:

Though I thought hurt/comfort would be a higher number, also Happy ending should not come before Angst with a happy ending.

Apparently I'm really bad with consistent tagging, I guess?

Anyway, not tagging anyone, if you feel called to action by this idea, do your thing and share! :)

That's... a high percentage of fluff 🤣 I mean, there is a reason why "Queen of Fluff" is my moniker on the Darklina Server 😅

Ironically, hard light is bad for recording sexy time.

It will highlight every pore, every vein, every wrinkle on your nutsack.

One day I will end this ring light fad. It is my ultimate side quest.

Cursed to be stuck inside this ancient amulet for years but you know I was kind of getting used to it. The solitude had eaten away just enough of my sanity that I'm pretty sure it only would've been a few more days before I started hallucinating some really neat shit.

But then. THEN. This fuckass twink descendant of my mortal enemies picks up my amulet. Takes right out of the sacred chamber. I guess it was finally a ruin now? Worse timing possible, too late to stop me going insane and right before the insanity could pay off.

So some clueless idiot is actually wearing me for the first time in centuries. I'm gonna wreck this dude's shit, I don't care if he is weirdly nice and kind of pretty in the face department. The second I accumulate enough power I'm breaking out of here and making him regret being born.

it's encouraging to be around people who imagine a bigger life for themselves, whose only desire is to collaborate harmoniously with others, see opportunity instead of obstacle, people who remind you that life is about seeing how far you can go and how much fun you can have...real life enjoyers

Having ADHD is a lot like being only able to travel with a hot air balloon. When the wind is right and the weather conditions are ideal, you can effortlessly go wherever you could possibly want, with almost no energy seemingly spent. And when the weather just Will Not Do That, there's nothing you can really do about it. Advice from people telling you to just fucking Grow Up And Learn To Steer don't believe you when you say you've got no steering wheel. Your explanations of navigating different wind directions at different altitudes make no sense to them.

So you just gotta accept that some days the wind goes your way, some days it won't. You can either exhaust yourself fighting the wind, accept that you're going nowhere at all today, or that the direction you are currently going is not the way you planned to go. Why am I in Uruguay.

Steve's Birthday Calendar: fave friendship. I was this close to picking Steve and Bucky, but they're already my fave pairing, so I went with Steve and Sam. I love them so much as individuals and as a friendship too, and their first meeting is P E R F E C T. And so is everything else after that:

meeting on a morning run

Sam treating Steve as a vet and not as a celebrity

Sam showing his counselor side with the bed comments

are they flirting???? they are definitely flirting

"if that's what you wanna call running"

the parallels between Steve-Bucky and Sam-Riley

Sam going to bat for Steve after a meeting and a half

turns out Steve befriended an ex-superhero

"I do what he does, just slower"

them being so ride or die like immediately

Sam going after Bucky even without Steve

Sam being the voice of reason while also being reckless

Steve giving him the shield

Man. I just love Steve and Sam.

Steve's Birthday Calendar, belated day 10: Steve and social media. I love the duality of Steve either fumbling with social media and not getting the hang of twitter and instagram, or being the troll of the century :'D So I'll recommend my own two fics that have a lot of mixed media and stucky shenanigas.

Steve Rogers and the minefields of social media

Steve later (much, much later) tells Bucky what Erskine told him, that the serum enhances whatever's already inside. And a huge part of Steve, besides the caring and determination and a good heart, is an overdramatic body. And the serum makes the overdramatism bigger too.

Therefore Bucky isn't surprised that when some of his pictures are leaked and everybody is speculating who's Cap's new girlfriend, Steve suggests pranking the world. How long would it take them to realize the "girlfriend" is actually ex-brainwashed assassin and childhood best friend Bucky Barnes?

A coming out story with lots of meta, mixed media, trolling, and Taylor Swift references.

I’m unaware of any other such studies done and I’d love to see more. This aligns with my experience of using AI developer tools though for sure
