#Overthinking Solutions

[optimalmindsetllc]

The Mindful Entrepreneur blog examines how overthinking, often termed "analysis paralysis," hampers decision-making and productivity for entrepreneurs. It highlights the role of the Default Mode Network in dwelling on past and future uncertainties, leading to cognitive patterns that drain energy and hinder action. The post encourages readers to seek solutions to overcome this cycle.

he's coming

I'M NOT READY

thinking about the letter again...

@little-mari-on-a-roof 's tags on this post:

#his sacrifice in front of Marinette was already so fucked up

#but knowing he had a backup plan is somehow even worse

#and he definitely thought Nathalie had more time left than him (at least according to Intuition)

#even in his letter he doesn't admit to all the wrong he did. he only says HE sacrified everything and that he was Monarque

#he never talks about the pain he inflicted upon others

#so even with his last words asking Marinette to not let him know about the villain he was

#he doesn't actually write off Adrien finding and following the letter

This made me want to go check out Intuition again and... all this might be a stretch, but could this be the moment he decides to write this letter? Find a solution? And then he asks Adrien and he confirms that no, he doesn't have any adults that could replace his parents (a stupid thing to ask unless of course you don't know anything about your son)

I also added that dialogue from Recreation and I'm now convinced that it's only then that he remembers about the letter. The moment when Ladybug mentions "solution" for the second time and his face changes. And all the remorse about wasting his and Nathalie's life and fear of leaving Adrien alone, that I do believe was sincere at first (but like little-mari-on-a-roof said, no regrets about the villainy) is gone from his face. Ta-da!

Here is his solution. He promised Adrien that Nathalie would help him with his new task. So he heals her instead, since Gabriel himself keeps failing anyway. Nathalie was right and his use of Miraculous is condemning them. Fine! Perhaps Adrien will do a better job!

Also, well... Intuition is an episode that revolves around the power of Second Chance. Sooo.... makes sense if he found a backup plan right there. Adrien as his second chance...

Bonus points: in Recreation he knows Adrien would have to betray none other than Marinette to do that. Couldn't get rid of adrinette yourself? Lol just convince her to lie to him and him to betray her and let them do the rest! Another problem solved?

I know the likeliest explanation is just that JCR said something about looking for his friends when he first met the Netsilik Hunter but part of me does like to think it's something of a clue when the Hunter specifically says "your friend took my hands"

A subtle sign for the audience that there's more to the story and he knows more than he's letting on? That he already knows 'Aglooka' is JCR's friend because Aglooka himself has in fact told him as much?

the goverment is definitely figuring out this alien situation asap right?? cause whats happening currently is not feasible in the long run is it not??

im sure they are trying to maybe figure it out...probably, but part of me feels like it is not being treated with the seriousness it should be by them, which ig is in character LOL

pretty much relying on one guy (who doesnt even wanna be doing this) is actually scary

and the mc still has to like 'encourage' him to do it, tho its much easier in the 'ray ending' for sure. that man just wants to live a regular life with mc (unfortunately for him that means continuing to be binary star and dealing with aliens)

and if i was a citizen and knew this id be panicking

like yea u have these other heroes helping and stuff which im sure looks comforting from an outside point of view! but like the actuality is that its ray keeping things afloat

AND ON THE TOPIC OF THE MC, i was definitely in my head like....wouldnt rays superiors (managers??) get like curious about them? like no way theyre not being nosy about it after a certain amount of time passes. it really feels like something that could be leveraged against him,,, (if there is fic about this pls send it to me lol)

honestly i feel like mc and rays relationship would have moments of high stress. like there will be good times but also the bad times will also be there and its sometimes gonna be because of outside factors they cant control

You know I love these different Waffle Cookies that the creators made that one time, and how they each interpreted the waffle differently

The first one makes the waffle more like a shield or something? This one isn’t entirely clear, but it led to summoner/cleric

The second one seems to interpret the waffle as like a straw hat, and thus a bug catcher

The third one I’m told they made the connection between the waffle and chainmail, which led to them being some sort of monster tamer? I don’t know

And then this fourth one, the waffle got interpreted like a knit pattern, and so the Cookie’s a knitter

I love how each of these make a connection between the ingredient and something else, and then from there they can make a whole character from it

God I wish that were me. And also that I didn’t overthink things so much

好きだから -- ぼ虹の日 edit

This is very self indulgent and I wasn't even expecting to finish it in time for boniji day. Maybe I just love the pairing so much I wanna make something for it also cuz I still haven't drawn anything about them lately cuz depression go brrrrr

This is initially from Nijika's POV towards Bocchi but some lyrics strayed from that especially the dog part and the last one. But this could also be from Bocchi's POV visualizing Nijika's feelings about her since the edit did start and end with Bocchi in it so...yeah that's how this edit is interpreted (also I kinda got stuck of not knowing what clips that could fit in some parts so ignore if most of the clips are from episode 8)

Btw at the 「またね」 and 「また明日」 part, I was originally going to put the same lines by both Nijika & Bocchi from the show but it sounds out of place so I scrapped it. Tho if I'm better at editing I could make it work and blend it along with the song without it sounding weird (but I'm not :P)

Another thing is that although the lyrics did say 授業 (class) / 放課後部 (after-school club) / LINE in some parts, I changed it to バイト (part time job or in this case I chose work) / 帰宅部 (go-home club) / LOINE to fit the terms in BTR

‘Tis a note found upon your chamber’s door,

Please read it, I implore

It holds a message of desire,

to know your thoughts and feel inspired.

~ i can’t just ignore these feelings i have for you. ~

Chuuya watched Dazai laugh, his edges turned soft under the morning light streaming through the window. His eyes fluttered closed as laughter fell from his lips. Butterflies fluttered within Chuuya, a familiar aching that was easier to shove down amidst the chaos of their usual everyday life.

He couldn’t pinpoint when these feelings had taken root, only aware they grew with each visit to the arcade, with every bet they won or lost together.

The light hit just right, turning dark eyes into pools of honey and amber. As the sun continued to rise, Chuuya knew he couldn't just ignore these feelings he had for him.

The thought didn't bother him as much as he thought it would.

here's a thought: we all know by now that scene in furina's demo where she imitates other archons on the swing yeah?

i had the thought while watching it again,, what if she studied up on other nation's lores particularly how their archons (and other highly revered beings, ex, adepti) are like or how they are depicted in human literature and historical writings?

like... she had absolutely no idea how to be a god, and an actor does need to be acquainted with their role to ne able to portray and embody it... call it role study lol

Slowburn rivals to friendship story that's just SQQ and LQG being thrown into various wifeplots which they begrudgingly overcome by avoiding the regular solutions because neither of them are thinking of sex ever. Begrudgingly accepting each others' resourcefulness as 'punching their way out of things' and 'thinking their way out of things' get their problems solved and become legitimately respectable to them both

Had a minor epiphany that I could use a desk lamp that takes a standard bulb, one of the multi-color smart bulbs, a piece of white diffusion material (my brain is saying balloon split in half and stretched over the desk lamp’s shade but a white pillow case would work just fine), and a rubber band, all hooked into a Ryobi 150-watt power source* to make a diffused fill light I could tint any color I need, but I genuinely don’t know if this would work right (or if there’s a cheaper solution that’d work at least this good).
