me n the boys
the entire thesis of shivs character has been that no matter how much you distance yourself from other women and step over them to get what you want nothing will save you from their fate once your purpose is done, she was the token woman on the board that Logan needed after the scandal and the one they needed to seal the Pierce deal but now she's been iced out and it doesn't matter that she silenced the girl that wanted to come forward or that she helped with Rhea or even that she was willing to screw over as many others as she needed to because she's still will never be the son Logan wanted and shell never be part of the boys club
the victoria sponge cake. he gets that cake he gets told that he’s lost a parent. none of his siblings thought about him when they heard their father was dying. they didnt even think of him. and if he didnt get married that day he worried willa might run out on him. he wanted to keep the wedding on so that he could bind willa in their marriage before she could change her mind. and his dad died and his siblings couldnt care less about telling him and treating him like an equal and so he clings onto the last person he has and they get married on that day.
here are some of my tips that i use but also ones i’ve gotten from the internet to help with productivity!!!
1) listen to music!!! when studying, i like to listen to instrumental music but if i’m doing math, i like to listen to music i like to help keep me going!
2) put your phone on do not disturb (or the equivalent). this will ensure that you won’t get any of those notifications that you always want to check
3) turn off notifications for certain apps. i completely got rid of notifications from snapchat and instagram so i’m not as tempted to go on those apps that suck time away from me lol
4) sit at a desk or table. if i try and do homework on my bed or my beanbag, i’m sooooo tempted to not do anything and just take a nap. don’t do that.
5) drink water!!! gotta stay hydrated my friends!!! this’ll give you the energy you need to get all that stuff done!!
6) take breaks. reward yourself after doing a lot of stuff by taking a break to watch one youtube video, or read a chapter of a book. but promise yourself to not go overboard and return to what you need to do.
7) write a to do list and break it down. to do lists are my life savior. it’s so satisfying to cross things off and it makes me want to do more because i’m physically able to cross off the task.
8) ok you’re gonna hate me for saying this one but, get up early. this doesn’t help with coming home from school but this is specifically for the weekends! getting up early gives you sooooo much more time to do what you need to do. and then, when you get a lot of it done by noon or 1pm, you feel SO much better about yourself.
9) take a break when you get home (eat a snack) and then start working. try not to postpone your work, thinking it won’t take you very long because most of the time, it’ll take you a lot longer than you originally thought. just try and get it over with so you don’t have to worry about it later.
leave your productivity tips down below to help all of us!!
best of luck in your endeavors :)

On Luffy's birthday, I wanna remind all of you that one of the things that makes him one of the most influential and ground-breaking shonen protagonists is that he makes things happen. No fate or prophecy or destiny leads his path. He's the one choosing, freely, what he wants to do and he will do it. And in consequence, he makes things happen in the manga that affect everybody around him. The story doesn't tell him what to do and instead, he is the one telling how the story should go. That and the fact that his whole character is meant to spread the message of following your dreams and living with laughter and joy are the reasons why celebrating his existence is so important to so many.
i love you fairy tales i love you folklore i love you myths i love you stories as old as humanity itself i love you oral traditions i love you characters carried through time on my ancestors’ tongues i love you story i’ve seen a million ways and want to see a million more i love you archetypes i love—
