#strong passion

[charliejaneanders]

Every single craft has been paying “The Passion Tax” for generations. This term (coined by author and organizational psychologist Adam Grant) — and backed by scientific research — simply states that the more someone is passionate about their work, the more acceptable it is to take advantage of them. In short, loving what we do makes us easy to exploit.

sad: falling out of a hyperfixation

tragic: watching your beloved friends and mutuals fall out of the hyperfixation while you're still in it

Friendly reminder that a lot of the characters that blatantly show autism traits are overlooked (Will, Jason) or seen as strange/scary (Nico, Leo, Annabeth)

Rhaenyra x Harwin Strong for the talented @riotarttherite

First of all, I want to sincerely thank @riotarttherite for proposing this challenge to me. I've admired her for a long time and have been a fan of hers, and when she wrote to me about a month ago to propose this art trade, I couldn't believe my eyes; I was so surprised and happy at that moment.

Besides feeling honored as an artist, as her fan, I was over the moon at the idea of having an illustration made by her. Without giving away too many spoilers, I can tell you that it is a couple from my AU fic The Doom in Our Blood Comes Back.

Actually, although I gave some guidelines on how to create it, I haven't seen the finished product yet, so it will be a big surprise for me, but I have no doubt it will be a masterpiece!

lose my mind every time the doctor takes rose's last name in fics. brilliant, amazing, splendid, absolutely perfect.

like, what do you MEAN she'd be the one to change her last name? he doesn't even HAVE a bloody name like us! plus, she's rose tyler. you think he's going to want that to be different? it's the doctor and rose tyler in the tardis (or I suppose whatever they do in pete's world, but that's still the doctor and rose tyler having their new adventure)!!

she's rose tyler and he is whatever-he-wants tyler. end of discussion. the whole pond diabolical should've been clue enough imo

I found this really silly photo and wanted to share it with you :D

I'll take his milk any day of the week... 🙂‍↕️🥛

Speaking of milk — back to my König headcannons! He definitely drinks a gallon of milk within two days. You're going to have to buy lots of jugs of milk to keep some for yourself, which is a rare occasion considering he downs milk within milliseconds.

What would you do if you found yourself in a realm of magical beasties and this big burly wizard in a cable-knit sweater pulls up on you with his dumb accent and a grouchy tude.

legitimate question to sentiadrien deniers: why do you think Nathalie is keeping Gabriel Agreste's wedding band on and refusing to give it back? As some weird power play?

[starrywangxian]

I’d say I networked pretty hard today; successful business exposition 📊👩‍💼📁

Today is the Champions League league phase draw, and McDuck Manor is a mess.

We have a Scottish man and an English woman arguing over which team will have a new moment of glory and which will be eliminated in the first round.

We have two fans of the two teams with the most titles trying so hard to be invisible.

We have a desperate man who can't let his Scottish uncle learn that he supports an English team.

And we have a woman who is depressed because her also English team, is playing Europa League.

The idea of Scrooge as a Celtic fan I read it on this really good fic, The McDuck Family Lawyer. It wasn't that hard to select the others characters and the teams.

Is the renkaza a crackship?

nope! on ao3, they're the third biggest kny ship and the biggest kyojuro ship, actually--not that popularity automatically means a ship can't be crack? hm.

the definition of crackship is debateable lol but to me they're not cracky 'cuz the things akaza was saying during their mugen train fight and akaza's human backstory provide a lot of give in terms of connection points to kyojuro.

they're a ship for all the people who love enemies/rivals-to-lovers plots, and ships that involve a lot of physical fighting and/or searching for humanity, which are some of my fave things to look for haha. they can also just be deeply convoluted and toxic when romantically involved, which is its own brand of fun! (tho i personally tend to look for stuff that ends more wholesomely. angst with a happy ending my beloved. 💞)

i will say that while they're not a crackship, the au's where akaza just fucks off completely (like my au comic haha) or where kyo goes all-in on being a demon right away can come off cracky, but i think that's less "crackship" and more "crack taken seriously".

i hope this makes sense!
