The Power of Consistency: Unleashing Success through Persistent Action

In a world where instant gratification and overnight success stories dominate our attention, it’s easy to overlook the remarkable impact of consistency. Often, it is not the occasional bursts of effort or short-lived moments of brilliance that lead to true success, but rather the steadfast commitment to consistent action. In this article, we will explore the undeniable truth that success comes…

one of the many things i love about buck and tommy's relationship is how honest they are with each other. they are both willing to communicate openly – if there is some misunderstanding between the two of them, they clear it up. they express what they feel, want, and need in a straightforward way, and neither has to push the other to admit what's going on: they'll do it without being asked. personally, i think it's absolutely beautiful, and i just couldn't be happier for buck. he finally met someone who values honesty just as much as he does, and you can see how good that is for him. because let's be real, have we ever seen him this content with his previous love interests? icl, not rooting for them is just crazy at this point in my book.

the red camellia is undeniably soukoku's flower to me. they bloom in the cold, through snow and winter chill. they're at their most beautiful in the harshest conditions when everything else is dormant or dead. they're a symbol of perseverance and strength and passion. but at the end of the line, they 'behead' themselves when they die, refusing to drop petal by petal, choosing to go when they're still beautiful, refusing to compromise the rest of the tree by rotting on the branch.

I get frequently discouraged about my perceived lack of success with my books, so I am jotting down some small wins here to remind myself that it's not all about huge sales and hundreds of glowing reviews.

Pauline Gray Investigates finally has one review on Goodreads! The lack of ratings/reviews for the omnibus has been stressing me out, so this allows me to relax a little.

The copy of Magic Most Deadly I dropped off at a Little Free Library downtown a couple of weeks ago is no longer there, so someone must have been intrigued enough to pick it up to read. I hope they love it!

I have the opportunity to participate in a Maine authors' book festival later this summer. Nothing has been set in stone yet, but since getting connected with more Maine authors AND having more of a physical presence with my books in various places were two of my writer goals for this year, this is promising.

This month for the first time ever I sold more books through Draft2Digital than through Amazon.

Like I said, small wins, but enough small wins over time can add up to something more substantial and enduring than one big win.

not going to lie i do find it quite upsetting that so many ppl think that animals that arent immediately relatable to humans are completely incapable of thought or feeling. and thats the only thing that matters when it comes to animal rights arguments a lot of the time

Honestly I think i'm giving up.

I'm giving up on my blog, it's just completely pointless.

I started this blog in May 2018 and over the course of last 6 years I gained just whopping 375 followers. I mean don't get me wrong I am very thankful for all of you who decided to stay here for the ride, but in the last two years i've seen the numbers go down few times.. And over time I see lesser and lesser increase each year and month.

It's just that every post comes with disappointment and it's been like that for years. And honestly I wouldn't mind that if there was at least a small but steady increase. Instead there's mostly stagnation.

Well, either way, again, huge thanks to all of you who liked my art, I greatly appreciate each one of you and can't thank enough for staying.

Few special thanks to: @warskunkwarroom - for giving hearts to I think more than 90% of my posts if not all of them since finding my blog! @askbananapie - obviously, I mean we all know them right? Thanks for being my first real follower and helping me reach more people when I started. @ask-donkey-in-trouble - for the few interactions we had and for being my mutual, I always loved your art and had huge respect for you and your skills. I'm always super flattered and honored when I see you appear in my activity notifications. @themarvelhorse - for the many hearts and reblogs, I noticed them and appreciated them all. @dreamdancer42 - for commissioning me like... 40 times seriously that's a ridiculous number and a HUGE support for me. And to everyone else who asked me for commissions, who talked to me, who sent me asks, who interacted with me and who was too afraid to interact with me, and to everyone who enjoyed my art.

Sorry to disappoint those of you who care, but I am just tired after a six year long struggle. I suck at social media and that's just that. 375 is not very impressive for a time this long and a total of 477 posts and yet it is my biggest number across all my social platforms. And I guess my art is just not good enough to fend for itself, which is understandable.

Those of you who still want to see where my art goes in future there's my deviantart. https://www.deviantart.com/shadowblazearts

It's been fun despite the struggle.

I had those few drawings scheduled to post themselves every 3 days but here they all are together as my last post.

"But then something unexpected happened; Tumblr’s revenue surged. What started as a joke, turned real, as users began signing up for the blue tick subscription option proving that sometimes the collective needing to be a part of something is enough of a reason to join in." (x)

almost every time i read a news article about tumblr it becomes exceedingly clear how little the article author and/or the publication understand tumblr and its userbase.

people did not and do not buy the checkmarks as an obsessive need to be on the trend bandwagon or to avoid FOMO.

we are very, very in on the joke. fondly in on the joke. affectionately participating in internet tomfoolery.

these articles never seem to grasp that when tumblr users spend money on tumblr, it's not because we've been successfully hypnotized by marketing, but because

1) we enjoy our blue hellsite with loving exasperation and ride or die intensity and therefore are entirely willing to throw money at the right kind of reason to infuse said hellsite with cash

2) positive reinforcement for being sold to and marketed at in a way that isn't secretly monetizing us, our data, and our privacy by making us the actual product being sold to advertisers, and also because it's ridiculously refreshing in this day and age to enjoy a space on the internet that remains largely free of relentless and invasive advertising bloat

I know this may sound like a silly question, but how come your headcanons of Allen and Alfred don't get along in most of your stories? I've read over your interpretations of them, and I can understand where their differences lie. However, I have also seen a lot of places where their personalities can actually compliment each other quite nicely. [For example: Both are very loyal individuals, Alfreds a complete goof, and Allen could be a stand-up comedian if he really wanted to, etc]

(Sorry for the long ask. I'm borderline obsessed with your headcanons of these characters 😭😭.)

(Also, if you're busy w/ university n' stuff, pls dont feel the need to answer right away (`･ω･)ゞ✨️)

It comes down to circumstances. The thing with headcanons is that they’re just isolated descriptors, but in a story, a lot of other factors come into play. They’re more than likely to end up in very different places in the world and have clashing motivations.

In Avatar, Alfred was a human being and Allen was a Na’Vi. In The Place Beyond the Pines, Allen was the father of your child, and Alfred was your boyfriend. In What makes me human, Allen was living a cushy life as a suit and yakuza member, Alfred was a terrorist that wanted to destroy any and all semblance of that.

You can understand why they would naturally hate each other in those situations. But towards the end, they usually set their differences aside for a common cause that’s more important than the both of them. So unless they were in an agreeable setting that let them complement each other, they wouldn’t.

My headcanons are also a lot tamer because they’re for a broader audience. These two have a lot of traits that would pit them against each other that go unmentioned in them, but show up in stories.

TLDR: Allen and Alfred may have some similarities, but environment is very important in influencing their relationship with each other. But they’re also very emotional beings with flaws and demons. Maybe they have stigma toward each other, or are jealous of each other for doing something better.

Sally and Shiv really out there for the "I should have had dogs" representation. Don't let the deadbeat dads take all the spotlight, here are some of the finest horrible mothers. Hell yeah.

I have no idea what I’m talking about but I remember seeing Louis in an Oops sweatshirt and he hinted he was going to make it for sale. This was back in like 2014. He has a long term horizon. I also remember the first black oversized hoodie sweatshirt worn by Eleanor at the X Factor// it wasn’t released until 2+ years later. I think we as fans demand immediate dopamine hits with a constant need to be fed.Louis comes across to someone that has a very long term plan that he methodically executes.

Yeah, I mean we saw him wearing the first 28OP piece at AFHF 2021 and it was finally launched in the Fall 2023.

We know he has a 5 albums plan.

But long term vision works when it's still that - vision. Once you've launched something you need to work in the real world and that means getting your product out there in a way that reaches and pleases the consumer.

Louis has a very very loyal fanbase. We'll buy 28OP whenever it comes out - but it seems like the idea behind the brand was to reach beyond the fans, for once. But now it's being handled the same way his other fan-focused stuff is being handled.

I'd pay good money to see the strategy/marketing deck.

How you look when you successfully defended a portal from 20+ enemies and your vampire rogue boyfriend somehow held aggro despite you being the tank so you're gonna make out sloppy w him later and give him extra blood as thanks for a job well done
