#a relaxed approach

[pratchettquotes]

Hughnon sighed. "Words are too important to be left to machinery. We've got nothing against engraving, you know that. We've nothing against words being nailed down properly. But words that can be taken apart and used to make other words...well, that's downright dangerous. And I thought you weren't in favor, either?"

"Broadly, yes," said the Patrician. "But many years of ruling this city, Your Reverence, have taught me that you cannot apply brakes to a volcano. Sometimes it is best to let these things run their course. They generally die down again after a while."

"You have not always taken such a relaxed approach, Havelock," said Hughnon.

The Patrician gave him a cool stare that went on for a couple of seconds beyond the comfort barrier.

"Flexibility and understanding have always been my watchwords," he said.

"My god, have they?"

"Indeed."

Liking a post says you liked it, or maybe it’s a personal post by a friend and you want to just quietly acknowledge it to them. Maybe you can find it again later in your likes if you want to share it. It’s NOT mandatory.

Reblogging is sharing it with everyone who happens across your blog. Reblogging is a good thing to do for sharing and promoting things you want to share and promote, or things you like enough to keep on your blog for other people to happen across as well. It’s NOT mandatory. 

The OTT extreme language I’m seeing used to try and guilt-trip people into constant reblogging isn’t healthy. It’s what happens when you’ve had your brain poisoned by the commodification of hobbies and start treating everyone who’s not actively promoting your brand as some kind of enemy. Nobody who sees something in passing and finds it mildly interesting or generally appealing or whatever is obligated by blood-debt to then also recommend it to all their friends and promote it to everyone who happens by. It’s not an act of violence to not reblog. Stop calling people murderers when this is just about posting on our stupid little blogging platform.

You can reblog this if you want. Or not. It’s fine. It’s your blog. It’s your internet experience. You can curate it how you want to. You should curate it how you want to.

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).

He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.

And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.

No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.

Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)

He needs to be quick.

Efficient.

Perfect.

And so he comes and goes like the wind.

Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.

Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.

He'd rather he never be late ever again.

It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...

.

" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.

"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.

Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.

He imagines hearing a clock ticking.

Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?

Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.

His build makes little sense in terms of consistency, but it’s a nice standalone version of him I think. The smokebox door shape is different but i like the vibe. He’s also just very cute I’ll admit.

thinking about the champions fighting off a monster horde together and revali acting as link's support to make sure no monsters get the jump on him, but at some point he shoots an arrow near link with the intention of hitting a monster at the same time link turns his head to look at revali.

the arrow grazes link's face leaving a cut, and revali watches it all happen in slow motion, from the moment link starts to turn his head to the moment it draws blood and link winces. utter horror floods revali's veins so he knocks and shoots as many monsters around him and link as he can, then drops to the ground stalking over to link to check the injury.

he's snapping and spitting link for being an idiot and putting himself in the line of fire (and also gently adding healing salve to it), but inside, revali is completely horrified to have injured link. his aim is usually so precise and clean, he doesn't know how he could have made such a rookie mistake. luckily, it's a light wound... (but it could have been worse, a voice whispers in the back of revali's mind)

after the battle, they return to hyrule castle and after the debriefing with the princess, revali immediately books it to the archery range at the training grounds and starts shooting as many bullseyes as he can. his aim has never failed him, he's never hurt anyone like that, especially not link. he keeps replaying the moment link got injured because of him in his head... revali refuses to let it happen again, he can never inflict harm onto link with his craft like that ever again. he couldn't live with himself if he did.

So much for ugly PRs and Larries calling Taylor 'jobless.' She has plenty going on.

( this can &. most likely will happen regardless if i write a starter / send memes. ) &. if you have a preference, please feel to write it down because otherwise i will choose what i am feeling the most!

im going vegan :) or rather I'll be working on moving to that direction. I've been thinking about it for a long time, checking out studies and checking out what both sides have to say and I've made up my mind. most of my animal products consumption doesn't even come from cooking or meal prep but from take out and eating cheaply. i think living in warsaw is a great opportunity to make the switch with how many people here are vegan, there's vegan restaurants and caffes everywhere, so many vegan products r easily aviable - unlike my previous town or villages. my mom is on board too and she always was super creative with foods not, often avoiding meat just because :) im excited, I want my body to feel good and be healthier. I need to look into meal prepping and look back on my most recent blood works to see where I'm at. wish me luck everyone :) also if anyone had any tips or insight it'd be very welcome!

When I was 15 I used to be really self-conscious about only watching Rebels I felt like such a fake Star Wars fan but it seems wisdom truly does come with age because I’ve decided I was actually so real for that.
