Don't just set goals, set systems.

Don’t just set goals, set systems.

Goal Setting Is a Hamster Wheel. Learn to Set Systems Instead. | Adam Alter | Big Think If you already watched this video, you know what the heading meant. I wanted to share this message with you because I think you can benefit from it too. As we all share this habit of setting goals, because that is how we were taught as a method to live life successfully. But as described by Mr. Alter here so…

THIS IS NOT A TRAINING ALARM

a really important team-up of bat and arrow is finally coming

Tim Drake and Connor Hawke learn that there is nothing more awkward than reuniting with an old friend after you’ve both come out and one of you was indoctrinated by the League of Shadows for a while.

#y'all have no idea how happy i am to see these two together #now dc have to do is arrange connor's reunion with kyle and wally #connor hawke #tim drake #green arrow #robin

AU Writing suggestion? (Perhaps) 👀👀

I've been reading a lot of your work, and you do an incredible job at everything, especially slow-burn. From your work, I couldn't help but think you would write an incredible story of Aziraphale and Crowley in an arranged marriage AU. (Enemies to lovers???) (Whatever era you'd prefer) It may not be your cup of tea, but I wanted to share the idea in case it ever intrigued you.

It would also be a very creative one at that, considering how you're always able to put Good Omens references in your stories in subtle ways. (Those references are always enjoyable to see) Love your work. Keep it up!

rotating this idea in my mind like a microwave

#my only problem with writing arranged marriage #is i have no idea how arranged marriage works #i know some cultures do it #and i know nothing abt those cultures ththgthp #another Married At First Sight au? MAFS Australia to collide our worlds??? (mafs aus is fucking ART i swear to god)#good omens/#ask a rat #ratwips #edit: jesus chfikn christ i did it again i answered 1 part of your message and completely ignored all the #AMAZING WONDERFUL THINGS U JUST SAID TO ME #WTF Thabk you that’s so freaking sweet 😭😭😭😭#edit edit: NEATLY ADDING ‘ARRANGED MARRIAGE ENRMIES TO LOVERS’ TO MY REGENCY AU IDEA PILE………

Astarion: I'm happy for you to have as much Halsin as you wish - but I do have one question. It's not because... you know... we haven't... in a while? Roz: Gods, I don't want you to think that for a moment. Astarion: I know I was being foolish. But thank you for saying it.

ah, the famous line that started allllll the controversy. honestly? i dont know why. he did exactly the right thing here: he had a little wiggle of insecurity, he asked about it, he was comforted, consent was given. the ONLY path where he seems sort of bothered moving forward is if you say option 5, and that's because.... well, the player basically confirms his suspicions in that case. any other option he seems totally fine.

i get that other people have their own hcs about this scene and they don't do the polymance because of it. and that's fine. but the text of the scene pretty clearly says astarion is more than okay with it, and there's no coercion.

#i myself ALSO have hcs about the polymance #specifically around astarion's feelings about it and how they might change/evolve as his quest moves forward #but like... idk polyamory is complicated and the idea that like #insecurity from one partner = an immediate end to the arrangement #is a pretty closeminded way to approach that sort of dynamic? idk #astarion #astarionmance #halsinmance #roz pt #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #bg3 dialogue

Hi hijabi people I love you I hope the world is kind to you today

#Maws speaks #no idea how to tag this but this has been on my mind for hours and I think these words are worth putting into the world actually #even if they're small and tired and just words and not the most optimal arrangement. they're better than silence.#to compensate for lack of tags I will reblog on main

Chay’s blood is rich and honey-sweet in Kim’s mouth, like nothing he’s ever tasted before. The taste makes his own blood surge, pulsing with want—he's drunk on it, taking deep, greedy pulls. Chay sighs beneath him, a weak moan, no doubt the pain equal to his pleasure. Kim has to force himself to stop. Thin red rivulets drip down Chay’s neck—Kim chases them with his tongue, not wanting to waste a drop, and only succeeds in smearing the stains across Chay’s skin.

“Kim…” Chay is fading fast. His eyes drift to the side, unseeing, and his hands are cold as what little blood left in his veins is diverted to his core.

“It’s alright, Chay, I’m here.” Kim lays Chay down, holding the boy across his lap. He bites his own wrist, thumbs Chay’s chin with his other hand, and spills his blood into Chay’s waiting mouth. Chay tries to turn away from it, but Kim won’t let him, his gentle touch the softest steel. “It’s alright,” he says again, a soothing croon that Chay can barely hear.

When his only other option is to drown, Chay finally swallows, shuddering at the slick warmth that fills his throat. Soon it will burn, as Kim’s venom consumes him, changes him, a cellular alteration.

***

“You can’t keep going like this,” Kim says. Chay, curled around his knees and digging bloody grooves into his arms, refuses to acknowledge him. “I know you’re scared. You don’t want to hurt anyone. But you will. A starving vampire will never be safe with anyone.”

“Then I’ll stay here.” A quiet rasp around fangs Chay hasn’t yet learned to hide.

“Chay—”

“Why do you care? You did this to me! You made me this—this—”

Kim set his jaw. Gritted, “I saved your life.”

“You made me a monster.”

Silence. The accusation hurt more than it should. “Is that what you think I am?”

Chay tightened his arms around himself. He could feel Kim’s hurt through their bond like a physical thing, and he didn’t know why, didn’t know how to escape it.

“I don’t want to kill anyone,” he whispered.

“You don’t have to. The blood is donated.”

“Then it should go to someone who needs it to live.”

“Chay…”

“Will I die?”

“... No. I don’t think you will. Not for a long time.”

“Then I don’t need it. And I don’t want it.”

A heavy sigh. Kim knows he won’t be able to convince Chay, He also knows he can’t bear to stand by and watch him wither. Kim nearly lost him once already—he can’t let it happen again. Not when he has the power to prevent it.

That’s exactly what led them to their current predicament. It’s exactly the justification Kim uses to make things so much worse.

Hating himself for it, Kim pulls on the sire bond between them, commands Chay, “Come here.”

Chay tries to fight it. Kim can see the struggle, the way he tears at himself, his eyes wide and wild. “No, no, no—” But the bond is a deep, primal kind of power that Chay can’t hope to resist. It’s woven into the fabric of his being; he’s helpless to do anything but obey. He crawls across the floor to kneel at Kim’s feet.

“Please,” Chay cries, powerless at Kim’s mercy. “Don’t do this.”

There are limits to the power their bond holds over him. If Kim forces this, forces Chay to contort himself around the command, it might shatter entirely. He doesn’t know what would happen to a bitten fledgling without a sire. He doesn’t intend to find out.

Kim sinks his teeth into his own wrist. Drinks the first blossom of blood in his mouth, the pressure ensuring a steady flow. Then he lowers his arm, the blood that drips down his hand an offering. Chay’s lips part around a ragged exhale, his fangs glinting in the low light.

Kim won’t force him to drink. He leaves the final choice to Chay. It isn’t much of a choice at all—a newly turned, starving vampire, presented with fresh blood, stands little chance at refusing. But it’s still a choice, and Kim won’t take any more of Chay’s control than he needs to.

“It’s alright,” Kim prompts when Chay still hesitates. The blood on his skin is getting sticky-dry, his wounds beginning to heal over. “You can’t hurt me.”

It’s the permission Chay needed. He sways into Kim, takes hold of his arm with bloody, clawed hands, and fastens his mouth over the bleeding wound. Kim hisses when Chay’s fangs sink into him—two heartbeats later the pulsing heat of Chay’s venom floods his body, and Kim never knew it could feel like this. Chay moans in turn, both at the taste of warm, rich blood that finally slakes his desperate thirst, and the pleasure he can feel through their bond, compounding his own. An overwhelming feedback loop that builds and builds and builds, until Kim tears himself away just before the crescendo.

They’re both breathing hard, their eyes matching pools of black.

“Kim…” Chay is dazed, listing where he kneels, blood-stained and beautiful. Kim watches Chay touch his glistening lips, his tongue following the blood. Kim wants to taste his own blood on Chay’s tongue.

Kim takes a step back. He stumbles, light-headed, his blood thrumming in his veins. He needs to leave. Takes the crystal decanter off the table as he passes because if Chay won’t drink it then he will.

Chay’s quiet, wondrous, “Thank you, P’Kim,” follows him out the door.

#cookie writes #kimchay #vampire AU #Kim was born as a vampire #turns chay into one to save his life #except #he has no idea what it's like to be turne d #so he doesn't really know how to teach Chay to be a vampire #bitten vampires are looked down on and Gun thinks it's a disgrace #he wants to kill Chay #cue arranged marriage lol #(not really but kinda)#Kim has also never let another vampire feed on him before #he was NOT prepared for how good it feels #bless him

...Something's wrong.

There's someone else in the room with K -- it knows this before it turns around, it knows what being watched feels like. It turns only slightly, enough to catch them in its peripheral vision and no more.

It knows who this is, on a practical level. Lock has a habit of referring to his "boss" sometimes, and K has picked up enough about what being Lock's boss entails to come to the reasonable conclusion that whoever they may be, they're not human. It'd resolved to leave well enough alone -- it didn't mind him metaphorically working two jobs, and clearly neither did his boss.

Now, though, there's a little more uncertainty than before. Whoever this is, they don't quite seem like an arcanist either. Something about them feels out-of-place, and-

"Ah, calm down," the other person says, head tilted slightly to the side as they lean back against the desk. "I'm just here to check in on ████, there's really no need to panic."

... ████? Who's ████ -- why can't it remember that name? K's memory is far from eidetic, but that's different from not being able to remember something it knows it was aware of a minute ago. It can feel the blank space where information used to be. It does its best to maintain its composure. Grips the side of its coat with one hand tightly to stop from digging its fingernails into its palm.

"Hm." A small smile flits across the other person's face as they narrow their eyes to look over K again. K recognizes that kind of smile from itself. The hole in the pit of its stomach grows slightly, but it forces that fear down. It's dealt with worse, it tells itself.

"You are really quite interesting," they say, straightening up and walking past K. They put one hand on its shoulder sympathetically. "We should talk sometime, K. Though -- not now. I seem to have caught you off guard."

How the hell do they know its name -- no, there's no need to panic, it's because ████ probably told them, only it can't remember who ████ is. K stares as ████'s boss leaves the room, making damn sure they're gone before it finally drops its shoulders in relief.

Maybe it should've asked... Lock... a couple more questions about his boss. It gets the sinking feeling that might be too little, too late.

#reverse 1999 #reverse 1999 oc #rev19 #rev19 oc #reverse1999 oc #rev1999 oc #rev1999 #reverse1999 #okay that's quite a lot of tagging done. anyway: here's some prose!#you'll have to excuse how relatively plain the formatting is -- i like writing more than page arrangement #anyway like i mentioned last time! i have ideas for another one with Lock and 37 #but i'm not super confident in writing 37 yet so unless people go wild over this for some reason i'll hold off

Hey besties, I'm finally gonna put up my "Which MXTX character is/would be most insufferable online?" poll tournament in the next couple weeks. But in order to do so, I need your help!

I need to know which characters are popular picks for this so that I can weight the bracket well. Please let me know in the replies and/or tags which MXTX character(s) you think deserve the title of most annoying hypothetical internet user. It'll help ensure that the actual polls run smoothly.

#I don't need propaganda I just need names #I know my own thoughts on the matter. but unlike w the bugpoll. this isn't a common fandom joke #so it's hard for me to say how the fandom on the whole might vote #getting an idea from the responses here will help BIG TIME with how I arrange the bracket #and save me from screwing over an annoying person's chances by pitting them against another powerhouse too soon #now forgive me while I tag this w all the mxtx fandoms #I wanna try to get a lot of views to maximize input lol #svsss #the scum villain's self-saving system #ren zha fanpai zijiu xitong #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #mxtx

Random TGCF Thought of the Day

The urge to frankencanon Ling Wen’s revised backstory to keep all the cute moments with Bai Jing but still have Ling Wen be actively responsible for Jing Wen’s pseudo-death and somewhat responsible for Xuli’s downfall

(preferably with swd & pm’s backing)

#tgcf #ling wen #random tgcf thoughts #I am still mad about that one change in the revision #was it a censorship thing? lw can’t get away with everything in the end if she murdered someone?#everything else about the backstory is great but I refuse to acknowledge this part #how I would do it is have her actively plot against jw #she knows xuli’s downfall is coming no matter what so she decides to speed it up #after BJ refuses to withdraw for her she finds some conflict to keep him busy #and makes arrangements for other kingdoms to start invading - BJ can’t be everywhere after all #and then in the confusion actively starts burning JW’s temples #(possibly pm helps here)#(or for more fun it’s swd who borrows PM’s men and makes him complicit)#while lw stays in heaven and waits for jw to weaken enough so she could kill him #(but he manages to survive like in the og novel)#i like the idea of lw trying to keep bj safe at first but then settles for just having him elsewhere #but the general feng conflict happens anyway #and her temple burners spiral out of control #and target her own temple as well - but BJ protects it #also picturing a scene where lw warns swd about pm (who he’s kinda friendly with)#pm is a xuli man and owes jw some favors #so if swd starts an open conflict with jw he should expect PM’s help #*shouldnt #(lw is wrong about this - pm wouldn’t help jw and would prefer to stay out entirely)#(but he also doesn’t actually like jw)#(the favor jw did for him? help clear his name after the failed rebellion)#(pm never asked for that and it caused the beautiful tale to spread)#(however I do also see pm in a sort of lxc-style peacemaker role for lw swd and jw)

Has anyone thought about how maybe after Serizawa leaves Claw to join S&S he doesn't want to live alone (a combination of his years of isolation and living with everyone at Claw) and how maybe Reigen wouldn't mind having a roommate (it would cut his rent and keep him company), so perhaps instead of Serizawa getting his own place they decide moving in together would be more beneficial.
