guys I have a feeling that my soulmate might be a doctor

Thinking about how El wasn't originally gonna be past season 1 and how they were able to weave her independence arc into their original plan seamlessly and how without her, Byler would have still just been a boy who went missing with his best friend there supporting them but when they get a little too close his best friend pushes back and starts getting defensive. They make up, but then he moves and his best friend doesn't keep in touch, and he visits for spring break because he already bought the tickets and he promised to but it's weird and tense. But then he apologizes and they get closer than ever as they road trip back to where the danger is.

That also, as I say it, makes sense why THAT story would have taken 4 seasons. This isn't the only thing they needed to extend for pacing, but I feel like part of it is...the painting adds a season. El adds a season for Mike to get there.

Color shifts at nanoscale: Researchers develop real-time visualization system to observe stretchable technology

A research team at POSTECH has developed a breakthrough technology that analyzes in real-time the deformation of "serpentine" structures, a critical component of stretchable technology, and visualizes the process through color changes. The team, led by Professor Su Seok Choi from the Department of Electrical Engineering, included doctoral candidates Sanghyun Han, Junho Shin, Jiyoon Park, and master's students Hakjun Yang and Seungmin Nam. The study was published in the December online edition of the journal Advanced Science. Flexible and deformable electronics have advanced beyond bendable, foldable, rollable, and slidable designs to fully stretchable systems that allow freeform deformation. Stretchable technology is gaining traction in diverse fields, such as displays, sensors, semiconductors, electronic skin, biomimetic robots, and smart clothing.

something I didn't realize before I wrote Breaking Fate is truly how much you can write in a couple of months if you write a couple hundred words per day.

You can have a 15k fic done in a month if you just write 500 words per day.

In a little over three months, you can have a 50,000 word longfic. If you wanna be ambitious and write 1,000 words a day, it'll take you half that time.

If you just wanna get a 5000 word longfic out but only have like 15 minutes once a week, well, it will take you a little under five months, but then you'll be done.

And if you only write 250 words once a week, well, it may take you four years, but by then, you will have your 50,000 word novel that you almost certainly wouldn't have had if you didn't make the plan.

and the time will pass anyways. You can have something to show for it. that's amazing to me

Oooooh just remembered I kept my punked-up white Converse (wrote song lyrics all over in black Sharpie and put red laces on them) so maybe I'll use those instead of the black combat boots for my Punk Nightcrawler costume

Shout out to this specific illustration of Izutsumi's claws Ryoko Kui's Daydream Hour 3 for being the closest representation to how I picture Arsay's claws. Granted Arsay's are longer, but I've always been into the idea of them being retractable to a degree. Arsay trims them often but they also grow pretty fast!

Writing Problem: The Narrative Falls Into a Repetitive Pattern

Problem: The Narrative Falls Into a Repetitive Pattern

Solution: Does the story begin at the right point? Are the characters introduced in scenes where they exert the right influence? Are the novel's emotional beats consistent (or meaningful)? What's the tempo like? Is the pacing balanced and purposeful at the sentence level, scene level, and act level? Is the story's use of description unique and dynamic? What's the difference between the author voice, the narrator voice, and the character voice? Be as flexible or inflexible as needed, but above all, be willing to learn.

i'm glad everyone else benefits from letting things happen when they happen and not forcing anything and giving themselves time but the more i live the more i learn that i actually crave and directly benefit from self-discipline and exclusively make myself worse by swallowing my own shit

My new workplace had me do a little test so they could gain some insight into how I might be, and the results basically called me autistic (highlighted in bold)

"• Formal, reserved, introspective, and skeptical of new people; requires "proof" to build trust in new people.

• Detail-oriented and precise; follow-through is deep and literal to ensure tasks were completed in accordance with quality standards.

• Operationally, as opposed to socially, focused. Thinks, in specific terms, about what needs to be done and how to do it accurately and flawlessly, follows, in a literal way, that execution plan.

• Private, serious, introspective, and reserved. Takes time to connect to and trust new people.

• Focused; can concentrate on the task at hand for long periods. (Hyperfixation) Quickly notices and understands technical matters more than social ones. Consistent and patiently thoughtful.

• Works at a steady, unwavering pace; most comfortable with familiar processes, environments, and co-workers. Doesn't easily change.

Driven to protect the company against risk by thoroughly leveraging their background and strictly following "the book."

- Cautious; follows a well-established and proven plan to avoid making mistakes. Does the background research necessary to have proof to support decisions before action is taken. Detail-oriented and accommodating; most comfortable working as part of a well-defined team for which they produce high-quality output and decisions."

Thank you! I was just watching 6x9 and they wore the yellow suits and it didn't make much sense to me (yellow in the desert seems like lower visibility?), they so rarely wear them

Oooh no yeah they would have worn wildland gear for that brush fire as opposed to structural gear !!
