Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

j-hope of BTS wielding a leek like Farfetch'd the Pokemon, while he wears a brown hoodie with Farfetch'd on it, which is a white and brown bird wielding a leek. The hoodie says Pokémon made.

we always think of namjoon as the member who adores pokémon but don't forget namjoon gave hoseok his precious bulbasaur bread sticker and hoseok stuck it on his phone

jk lifting his chin so sj can access his neck more easily is INSANE

“Something happened. You were upset.” Shame clenches Jeongguk’s teeth tight, squeezes his eyes shut. Taehyung isn’t meant to notice, isn’t meant to look at him at all. He pretends to think for a moment, lets his eyes wander across the parking lot. “Oh,” he then says, as though he just remembered. “I was reminded of why I don’t like parties.” Taehyung huffs out a laugh. The tension drops out of his shoulders. A smile, directed more toward the floor than toward Jeongguk, takes over his face and he tilts his head away as though to hide it. Like this, he appears the most human Jeongguk has seen him yet. “Yeah,” Taehyung says. His voice curls around the smile and Jeongguk’s heart kick-kicks against his ribcage. “I fucking hate parties too.”

rockstar!tae and writer!jk. i'm obsessed with them #btsfic

and this is what comments are for cuz the author would most definitely like to talk about it too

hey actually remember jimmy saying when he hugged them after the performance he could feel their hearts beating through their backs remember that huh do you remem—

j-hope on a break from filming not today at music core in 2017. black sweater with distressed neckline, light blue satin bomber jacket pulled off his shoulders, thin silver choker. hands on hips, gaze serious, intently monitoring his performance.

one hobi pic a day! you can always tell when he's monitoring 🥵 @bangtanagan.bsky.social pointed out on tumblr a bit ago that he always tilts his chin down when he monitors and it's stuck with me - it's so predatory. like he's watching a rabbit.

i rly loved this idol/manager yoonkook - some fascinating stuff in here about what's a business relationship and what's a personal relationship when the business itself is a person. what's more important, the person or the Idol, and is there a difference at all? #btsficrecs

shout out to people who read slow-updating on-goings. you save authors from abandoning wips probably a lot more than you realize.

No girlfriend no boyfriend, the new song for us bisexual single bitches

love this tumblr addition to my post lol

jungkook holding a lamb in new zealand

THE pictures of THE boy

Blond Jimin in a graphic t and jeans, manspreading on a chair as he looks at a camera (?). Who cares what's in his hand, that's not what we're focused on anyway.

don't even get me started about how yoongi was traveling with jikook but i absolutely wouldn't have known that from pictures on the timeline

so... can i say, "we just had a discussion about not mobbing bts during their travels but here y'all are sharing airport pics" or is the reaction gonna be just as crickets as it is on twitter ughhh lmao

a selca of hobi holding up a spoonful of food as if he's saying ahh open up like a good girl (or preferred pronoun)

hobi what are we

For Seokjin, it's always "Jungkook and others", and the thing is, I dont think he does that consciously

Thinking again about the dichotomy of Hoseok dancing with non BTS members/non j hope dance crew people and how he is so bright and cheery and happy to goof around vs Jungkook I swear to god if you don’t sing your part right now I will choke you out on stage (only half joking)

+ like i'm sorry if you're going out with the express interest of "bumping into" or "seeing off" a fritter squad member, you're basically endorsing sasaeng behavior atp

slamming rt on those 'stop showing up to airports' posts on every account i have because people need to learn that if there's no pushback to mobbing them at the airport, there's eventually going to be no pushback to something worse happening later on

It's absolutely crazy that this happened so many times and yet, some people don't get it.

Imagine if it was you being chased around in your private time. No one would want it for themselves, right?

Also, a reminder from Tae- this is what gets you their respect.

jimin and hobi posing outside hobi's trailer at lollapalooza in 2022. hobi is dressed for his concert performance.

jimin and hobi making a heart over their heads outside music bank in 2023. jimin is dressed for his like crazy music bank performance.

jimin flying across the globe to see hobi's first solo concert 🤝 hobi going to jimin's music show pre-recording to support him 🥲 they're so attuned to each other in such a special way

this clip is 4 hours long

Taehyung on a vlive, scrunching his face adorably.

last thing i got to say (promise):

tell your fellow creatives how much you appreciate them, uplift them as much as possible, show them support. now of all times especially when the world is actively trying to drag creators down and strip the importance of art away

i love jungkook bc

as someone who’s pretty deterministic, he takes his work and how his work ethic impacts it very seriously

despite this maso-perfectionist streak, he’s generous with his loved ones. except for silly games, he’s very “it happens” when someone messes up & “u do u” at any “oddities”

edited photo of namjoon sitting on a wall, smiling up at the sky (slightly), legs mid-air. trees and greenery around him. the sky blue above him. doodles and drawings put over the photo: grass, trees, butterflies, clouds, angel wings, a screenshot of his rpwp album, heaven rm under the album, headphones, and his name ‘joonie’ in doodle text at the bottom.
