Someone walks into a room announcing, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news…” and their alien friend spits water because the translator said, “I’m unhappily pregnant with new evil.”
There is no shame in admitting when you are wrong. There is no shame in realizing a mistake and trying to fix it. I don’t know why everyone is too prideful to acknowledge problematic behavior, apologize and try to fix it but there is no room to grow unless you do that. You are never going to grow into the beautiful, intelligent, caring and mindful person you want yourself to be until you start acknowledging what’s holding you back from that.
“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.
This articulates something about the different between value and validation that I didn’t previously register on a conscious level.
As both a baker and cake decorator, I tried really hard to not be upset when people didn’t buy my cakes, especially when I worked really hard on them. Here’s to all the unappreciated artists. I believe in you and I know you’ll keep growing! I hope this doesn’t sound lame but ♡♡♡
So a friend and I were talking about Rogue One, which lead me to read the wikipedia page for it, and as I was scrolling through I noticed that this movie has the same composer as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.
This is significant because Michael Giacchino gives his songs the WORST PUN-BASED NAMES EVER, and he continued that tradition with Rogue One. Look at this shit.
ok so Ron says he doesn’t like spiders because when he was 3 the twins turned his teddy bear into a spider right? the twins are only 2 years older than Ron, which means they were FIVE YEARS OLD when they did this and I’m just??????? like they were five and they didn’t even have WANDS and they managed to deliberately turn a bear into a spider???? even if they managed to steal a wand from their siblings or parents that’s a really tricky bit of transfiguration and at age five most kids are just doing uncontrolled magic….. like TBH in my opinion Fred and George had more innate talent than the trio combined but they just wanted to chill and do pranks and I respect tf out of that
They INVENTED enough charms and potions to open an entire shop dedicated to them when they were still in their teens. They were quite possibly the most talented young wizards of their time, and instead of using their incredible abilities for good or for evil, they used them for jokes. True chaotic neutral.
dont forget that their most popular export was a hat that has a minor shield spell but is too subtle to detect. They managed to create a magical item that is difficult to detect and provides enough protection from basic offensive spells that the ministry ordered hundreds for their aurors
