Hiiiii!!!

The Hindi songs guy again (salaamat recommendation, if "Hindi songs guy" is too vague)! Firstly, thanks for telling the name of the song, I listened to it and *sighs* it was them!

Secondly, i didn't know you were from India too! Got to know some days ago from your posts, and then just read your post when you were drunk and telling about India. And I fully agree, it was accurate (and as a North Indian, I'm sorry for the racism🙊). And I'm also sorry about the transphobia and every other awfulness you might've experienced. I love youuuu (sorry if this is too weird🙆🏻‍♂️). Also, the career prospects thing was 100% true: I was 'supposed' to become a doctor, but I had taken science just coz i liked it, and then there was a three years long tragic battle against doctor as a career, and then finally after a failed suicide attempt, I was able to choose English Literature, and things are only now (5 years after the fact) looking better....sooooo I guess your fears about college are totally valid but it will be better, you'll meet great people and learn so much beautiful stuff and create sooo many brilliant thingss! Again, I love youuu (and again, sorry if all of it is too much info, too weird, I'm just...weirdly emotional, idk why)

Thirdly, I really like your name! Asmi is a beautifullll nameee!

Fourthly, sorryy for the long and weird ask, just... I'm glad to know someone else from India here, who's also a Good Omens fan and evidently a lovely person. Sooo lots of long tight hugss!

Lastly, sorry for all the sorrys, and you can totally ignore this if it's uncomfortable or anything (if you couldn't tell by the sorrys, I'm super self-conscious, so thanks for the anonymous option)

Love and hugss, and best of luck for college, for your art, and life in general!❤️

Hey anon maggot! I'm so happy you listened to the song and loved it.

And thank you so much for sharing this with me. It's awful that you had to go through all of that, and I'm so proud of you for surviving. I spent three years preparing for medicine too (11th and 12th year, which caused me to fall sick and miss the NEET test, so I took a gap year etc) and I really did want it. Well, I thought I did. It was more that I didn't think I had any other choice.

TW: explicit mentions of transphobia and disregard and discrimination on the basis of mental health below. Skip the below paragraph if you need to.

I'm glad you're doing better. Yeah, I am not looking forward to college. I know there will be fun parts and all. But I had a go at college for three months back in August, and despite it being very liberal and open and stuff in theory, I had to drop out because the entire student body was isolating me because of my mental health and things my ex-roommate had said about me, and a lot of transphobia from the admin too. When I went to the dean and told her I felt unsafe and the environment was horrible, she told me to stop being so self-absorbed (and then denied she said that the next day to my parents). Luckily after the whole medical ordeal my parents had learned to listen to me and they helped me leave.

I will try again. It's just that it's... disheartening. That was design school, too, just like my next college will be. And I really did try my best. It's weird thinking about all that stuff because Tumblr and you maggots have kind of, well, healed it in a way, and given me such a safe space here that it feels unbelievable that the real world could be so, so fucking shite. Apologies for the vent here, but I do want to be honest, and I want everyone who's faced the same thing to know that they're not alone. Because I know so many people, too many, who've been there.

Thank god for Good Omens and you all. For the ridiculous amount of support and love and joy I've got here. It's easier to forget about all of it for a while when I focus on Crowley's pouts and Aziraphale smiling and making you all laugh.

And hey, you have nothing to feel sorry for. I'm so grateful to you for taking the time to write this. I love you too, anon maggot, so very much. Take all the tight hugs right back. I'm so proud of you for fighting for the future you wanted and deserved. I know it's not easy, both to fight with your internalised doubt and the others.

I'm so proud.

Good luck.

All the love, Asmi

I'm a college student so this is probably a lot funnier to me than others who've missed out on the "college experience" although this could very much apply to anyone really.

(I'm also guilty of doing this, but hey, what can I say? Free food is my jam~~)

"I crawl into bed only for once I am not alone. There is someone between these sheets with me- bare and beautiful but entirely unknown. This bed had only ever known myself and my friends, a pet or two, and a soft sort of sleepover. I crawl into it with someone else on the other side and it is entirely foreign to me, but at the very least it is still my bed; I don't know if I could see someones history so brazenly and still embrace all that I did not know. I wonder what the college experience meant to everyone else, and if they too have felt soiled by this thing we had too long idolized. I hope they have not, and it's all they've ever dreamed. Sleep has never been so cold."

advice for college with someone who has adhd + depression??

hi :) so im in college and ive technically been in my "first year" for like a year and a half since ive been struggling to complete college. my nurse practitioner believes i have adhd and is for sure i suffer from depression and anxiety. im not sure if anyone has any tips or advice on how to get through college bc its not that college is hard (to me its a lot easier academically wise than high school) but managing my time and motivation and discipline just drained from my system the moment i graduated.

any advice would be great :) thanks <3

So update on the Leon Kennedy fic. Might not be able to get it out on Friday. I have to find the floor plan’s of my history professor’s house for the heist final Tuesday.

I wish I was making this up.

In other news, uhhhh apparently I can’t write normal meet cutes. Drafting one with Leon and it involves an effigy of reader, it makes sense in context.

#crew announcement #leon kennedy x reader #college is weird #the history prof would fit in the Batman comics #I would expect him to be teaching at Gotham University at this point #especially since we were originally required to learn lockpicking #would say only in Gotham but this is the west coast #college experience #why can nothing normal happen in my life #chaotic academia #academics are an interesting lot

Ethics funny

Ok so sometime in my second year of college I was taking an introduction to ethics class. And the ethics class goal was to “teach students to consider moral dilemmas in a rational manner” or some such shit but basically I found out academics can turn ANY subject into something to memorize so we basically ended up learning all these old dude with beards beliefs on their own systems of morals they made up, which was actually pretty cool cause my teacher was amazing.

And so basically we would learn about these different moral theories for how we should act and every time we learned one my professor would take a poll of “who thinks this is a good basis for morality and who doesn’t”.

(My professor made it very clear from the start that any religion was an integral part of ethics, so it was always a valid view to place your polls on and take into account, just as not having one was)

One day we were studying some theory or another, I don’t remember the name, but it was a type of utilitarianism, which said that the right thing to do was that which maximized pleasure and goodness.

So after talking about the theory for awhile I was like you know this seems like a pretty good moral code right? Just do what maximizes goodness or whatever.

Then the class takes a poll as usual, and I voted that yes, I thought this seemed like a good moral basis.

And then.

As he was taking a vote for who didn’t like this moral theory, I realized, and screamed,

“Wait I have a religion!”

And thrust my hand in the air and asked to change my vote because I remembered this was not the moral law that the religion I chose to believe in approved of.

And oh my god guys it was so funny the whole class just burst out laughing and everyone was joking like

have y’all ever gotten so deep into ethical debates you forgot you had a freaking religion and believed in God? Lol

Anyways so it was even funnier because for the rest of the poll like ten members of the class changed their votes as well because they too had forgotten…

And then for the rest of the semester we would take polls and someone would change their vote and we’d be like “did you forget your religion too” and most of the time they actually did

Somehow still we were all very open minded and willing to consider these other moral laws (cause like you can’t have true faith without being able to consider other views) (and there were several various religions in that class not just Christianity whoo diversity) but

but seriously guys it was so funny

Have you ever been so deep in ethical debates you forgot your religion?

Yes.

Yes I have.

And so did half my class apparently! And we teased each other about it relentlessly

But a professor that encourages diversity of thought and expressing it? taking various religions (and absence of) into account and considering all views respectfully when forming opinions? That professor was unreal and I was very lucky.

In an almost solely Christian town having someone at a College teaching kids to HAVE different opinions, and different religions, and that that was ok was... incredible. And honestly? For the atheist kids in that class who had been told that having a different mindset wasn't ok, they had so much healing when we just. laughed together in acceptance of mental diversity. Because we actually found joy and laughter in seeing different views? I made so many friends... except the one kid who just refused to study at all. he annoyed me. This one girl with a hijab was sooo sweet and smart plus the atheist kid who hated Aristotle's guts, that class was so cool

(and now? when anyone who's faced religious discrimination in that class hears of a different religion, instead of flinching away from the negativity, we smile because we remember our little group of peers in a class about ethics who were young and dumb and just loved laughing together in acceptance. I think everyone should have such a memory... perhaps it should even be standard over negative ones)

I ended up starting a running gag in my ethics class where when students would suddenly remember to account for their religion in their opinions and we'd tease them about it (the professor was the head teaser ok we had like ten minutes every time where we laughed at having to change our votes because of forgetting our religion from debating too long)

And this is super expressive of the much larger issue of why people do or don't believe in religion in the first place, because people debate themselves out of facts or whatever, and perhaps this isn't that funny out of context

But with all the problems with religion and disbelief in the world, I ended up in a class of young adults having no idea what to do with their lives, laughing our heads off because we kept having to change our votes on polls because we forgot which religion we believed in. Which is just something inexplicably human? Large issues, deciding the courses of our lives, but maybe it's just the small moments that bring better understanding and connection or something

#I hope y’all have a professor and class like that sometime #cause I actually didn’t like the subject that much #but apparently if you have a good teacher and students any subject can be fun #I sooooo need a history teacher like that #religion #first post in a while not tagged legend of Zelda #religion funny #funny #ethics #college #college experience #wholesome #humanity #I hope I tagged it right I have no idea

Yesterday I feel like I missed out on the right dialogue option to start a side quest. I was sitting on campus, and a group of people walk by and one of them shouted “ay I like your shoes!” (I was just wearing green converse hightops) and then as they walked by I noticed they were all wearing the exact style of converse but in different bright colors. I wish I had said more

I have been approached on four separate occasions today by people trying to get me to come to their bible study while I was walking to class/my dorm

Campus was crawling with them

Now it's not out of the ordinary for me to have trouble breathing on my walk, unfortunately, but today was especially bad, and I genuinely think it's because these people had me so stressed out I was on the verge of a mild panic attack

By the fourth time I was just done, and the third group hadn't picked up on my wild eyes and whispers of "please don't talk to me" as I walked by, so I decided fuck it I'm cutting this corner to get away faster, and I legit heard the girl say to her friends "oh wow I just got swerved did yall see that?"

I was kinda pissed tbh

This morning, I just went into my Bible App after receiving a notification of the "Verse of The Day".

I looked at it and realized that this was a verse to touch my heart.

As a student in her third year of college (might have to take another two years to make up for any failures in the past two years since I started) I felt off. Like I could not listen or hear the Voice of God. Like I lost the discipline He gave me...

I only prioritized distractions and laziness. Only passed a few classes in the past two years. I got an "Academic Warning" that was God telling me that I NEEDED to do my part as a student.

Well, let me be realistic.... I can only do one thing at a time. I had 5 classes in my first semester (failed 3), 4 in my second and third (failed 2 or 3), reduced to 2 in my fourth (passed both), took a summer Algebra course (failed) and I am currently taking 2 classes; struggling currently with a foreign language class that is okay. Just wish that the multiple choice quizzes made more sense... And that I was not a lazy piece of crap when it comes to studying...

I know God loves me...

But why am I so off when it comes to my education...? My future...?

Am I even good enough...? For my family...? My only friend @book-of-arts04 ...? Am I just fooling myself...?

College Experiences 1

Me: Sitting listening to our professor talk about art history, playing Solitaire on my laptop while I do.

I look to my left, and the two people to my left are playing Papa's Pizzeria on THEIR laptops.

I thought I was weird for playing Solitaire, but I guess all of us are on the same boat when it comes to the history of art galleries. XD

Shit's boring.
