I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
Yes! I don’t believe in talent. People certainly have natural affinities for certain activities or skills, but that only gets you so far. What works is practice, and what most people see as talent is the result of hundreds or thousands of unseen hours of practice.
These ideas come from the psychology research of Carol Dweck, summarized here.
