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).

DO NO HARM

I spent.. 2 hours hunting a tiny ass trail of crumbs for this bc every couple years I ALSO wish I had this video on hand and it's IMPOSSIBLE to search for. "big boobs" nets a lot of results, lotta big results, "big boobs cat" as well. but it all pales in comparison to this cinematic masterpiece

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right? But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, "So, you've decided to join us"? Or when someone does something they've had trouble doing, say, "Why can't you do that all the time?" (Happened to me, too often.) Or any sentence containing the word "finally". If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don't complain about how it's not enough. Don't bring up previous stuff. Encourage it. Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

i think one of the big things with this stream was that my game's existence has merit, and that exploring aspects of undertale/deltarune's worlds and characters that they themselves dont go into, in my own way, is entirely valid.

thus, i will keep making my silly little fan game particles :3

a traditional drawing using pen, marker, and crayon, depicting the main cast of undertale standing in a black background, with flowey looking at them from the side as though in contemplation or remorse. a certain determined ghost stands above him.

Knights of Guinevere is a psychological thriller that welcomes you to a planet-wide theme park in the clouds!… And the shadows below, where a broken Princess Android is two dreamers’ tickets to better lives, or the end of them. :3 💙

I spent like all day Wednesday tormenting my friend Cream by making these, featuring her OC Moon (also featuring Royelle by FriskyBrisky lol).

I'm so proud of this team. See you September 19th. 💙🪐

youtu.be/G4Df2vAnKZo?...

Mood. I never made a Twitter account to begin with, so I have to often result to having my friends who do relay stuff on my behalf if necessary 'cause I'm sure not gonna make an account there NOW.

I guess that just means we really gotta get our hooks in on anyone who does make the switch, heh.

A small tabby kitten with dark and light brown fur stands on a brown carpeted staircase, meowing or making a small noise. The kitten appears to be slightly nervous or curious as it looks down the steps. The background features a textured white wall with a geometric pattern.
