There’s a term I’ve coined with a few of my friends called “The crystal sage effect”. Very simple story behind it, one of my friends was having hardships getting past a boss on dark souls 3 named “the crystal sage” now having played the game with an even wider array of people I have noticed something. Some people struggle really hard with this boss and the other group have no issue with it. Now of course this could be applied to any boss but I’ve yet to see two groups so equally divided between finding the boss easy or hard to defeat. Of course this is a wonderful thing to bring to real life as well, there are struggles that you’ll find near insurmountable in life, hurdles that take genuine time, care and attention to get yourself over. And others won’t find difficulty in doing so, but that’s life, you will struggle with certain things that others find difficult. And you will find things easy others find hard to overcome. Everyone’s skillset and mindset are different. A very very important thing to remember in life, me thinks. I am Johnathan Darksouls

Wait, the clones are different colors? I've fought the Crystal Sage over a dozen times and I never even considered that that could be part of the gimmick. Now I'm going to have to see if it's colorblindness or obliviousness.

It’s not the mages themselves however it’s the magic that distinguishes real from fake! The clones so to speak will shoot blue magic, while the real one will shoot purple! I quite enjoy talking any bit of dark souls trivia! (Although I am most knowledgeable about 3) I am Johnathan Darksouls

Ohhh, I seeeeee.... Yeah I never would have noticed that without someone telling me. To me CS's magic just registers as "BLURPLE SPIKEY THING! DODGE!"

Re-watching RWBY the past few weeks and I gotta say I really wish I wouldn't have allowed the worst parts of the community to gaslight me into thinking the show was bad. Because honestly, while there are faults, its actually a rather well put together show.

i keep using 'blorbo' to refer to my own OCs to the point i forget its supposed to be a fandom term. yeah i know blorbo from my shows. and those shows? only airing inside my own brain and the dms of a few lucky friends, baby.

I made a self-insert character for a story I was trying to write in high school, and over time they evolved from 'me' to 'person who shares some traits with me'. And also at some point they became a woman for some reason. (I guess you don't need HRT if you don't exist) I never managed to finish even chapter 1, let alone the whole story, but the character still lives in my head and I think about her almost as much as I think about my real life girlfriend. Maybe someday I'll actually write that story and give her a better home than the inside of my messed up brain

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

“NORA! HEADPHONES ON!”

Never pass up an opportunity to reblog Connecticut Clark.

That reply is unexpectedly inspirational.

Magic is a non-renewable resource. The only reason modern scientists had considered it a myth is because the wizards of previous eras eventually exhausted it. That was until an oil rig breeched an untapped reservoir by accident.

I wonder how this will affect the local trout population

if you work in a creative field...or if you do creative hobbies like writing or drawing...you need to make friends with people who don't do those things. you need to befriend normie Steve who has never written a story in his life. and this is because when you are in a creative job or hobby and spend all your time doing that thing, surrounded by very capable people, who you inevitably compare your own progress and skills to, you forget what the baseline human skill at that thing is. and it's usually zero. normie Steve has not written a story since the 3rd grade when his teacher made him do it. he's very good at other things that are not storytelling - but if you tell normie Steve that you wrote a full 300-page book from start to finish, he will think you're some kind of savant. he does not know ANYONE else who has done this. you need this perspective. because when you're constantly on Let's Write Stories dot Com then everyone on Let's Write Stories dot Com will inevitably be like "oh of course everyone on earth has written a book or several at this point!" and you canNOT let yourself think that. that is not even close to the average human experience. you are in a bubble. do not put yourself down. do not give up.
