My My My. Collage for Octavia Butler by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, @blackfeministbreathing
“Writing is difficult. You do it all alone without encouragement and without any certainty that you’ll ever be published or paid or even that you’ll be able to finish the particular work you’ve begun. It isn’t easy to persist amid all that. […] Sometimes when I’m interviewed, the interviewer either compliments me on my ‘talent’, my ‘gift’ or asks me how I discovered it. […] I used to struggle to answer this politely, to explain that I didn’t believe much in writing talent. People who want to write either do it or they don’t. At last I began to say that my most important talent - or habit - was persistence. Without it, I would have given up writing long before I finished my first novel. It’s amazing what we can do if we simply refuse to give up.” Octavia E. Butler (via @merigreenleaf )

splitting the party will always always result in something ridiculous happening, even if it’s for something as simple as a shopping trip
when in doubt just let the bard loose
if the DM raises their eyebrows it’s either the best idea or the worst idea
sometimes a box is just a box
sometimes the box that you think is just a box is not, in fact, a box
you will inevitably save magical items/potions for “when you really need them” and end up with 53729 forgotten, powerful objects in the bag of holding, begging to be used

You don't have to accept the wrong kind of love, even if you'll miss it when it's gone. You will find people who see the worth in you and take the time to learn to love you right. You are worth that love.
