When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience “a calling”. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere.
Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.
The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay.
Sometimes, work is just work. There isn’t always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is “paid”.

bob iger has objectively horrible takes about the wga and sag-aftra strikes, but it's honestly pretty fucking hilarious that even he's explicitly like 'the upside of this work stoppage is that it will force marvel studios to fucking stop for 5 g-ddamn seconds, they put out way too much content and have lost focus'

Here's something I haven't seen before:
A render of Millicent/Malenia's prosthesis that shows the interior of the cuff.
You can see the shoulder joint and the beginnings of a drive shaft that would operate the elbow and lower arm.
Yet again, the detail Fromsoft put into this game amazes me. This side of the model would never be visible in-game, but instead of leaving it solid gold or untextured they modeled actual mechanisms inside the shoulder.
