#including my resit
hi! i have a question i’m directing at you bc i’ve seen the idea going around tumblr but most recently on your post — if a student is caught using ai to cheat do you think that’s worth expulsion? should that be the best case scenario punishment? while i understand the importance of making it known to students the severity of using chatgp, at the same time i feel like that’s a very harsh punishment for being caught cheating. but then also at the same time! i’m not a teacher and i don’t know if it’s possible to teach a student to value their education and the opportunity they have for high learning if they don’t already personally believe that the opportunity is a gift. idk! this isn’t really a structured question but i guess i’m curious about how you (or in general, how professors) feel about expulsion for chatgp (i know you’re just one person and don’t speak on behalf of all educators lol but it’s just something i’ve been curious about)
Expulsion as in, ejected wholesale from the entire university, Do Not Darken Our Door Again? No, I don't.
I think what outsiders tend to miss is that students who do this, 99% of the time, are desperate. Something has gone terribly wrong, they're desperate to meet those deadlines and get that work done, and in my experience it's almost always wrapped up in neurodivergence (usually undiagnosed) and frequently a home situation that's made their lives a shit show and pushed academia to a back burner.
But, it's a more serious issue than high school cheating on a multiple choice quiz. Degrees are crafted to have quality assurance built in, and with good reason. The whole point of a degree is that it's proof of higher learning, and specialist knowledge - you get a higher salary (in theory lol) because your employer is paying for the very expensive training you've undergone. This is particularly important in something like medicine or construction, because if you haven't actually completed all parts of that degree you could kill someone; but even in my own field, if you fundamentally don't understand the physical processes of a sand dune as well as its ecology, and someone hires you to manage that sand dune... well, it's going to be an over-stabilised mess in about five years' time and you've killed the rare sand lizards and mining bees that were living there. And if your degree is a course in an institution who is famous for producing top quality environmental workers who know this stuff... well, you've just made your uni course look very, very bad in industry.
So unis are protective of their quality assurance, and that means they do not like cheaters. And I do agree with that, that's fair enough.
For me, though, I think the answer is not full expulsion. I would run it like this:
Confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that the student has indeed cheated. This must be confirmed.
IF NOT CONFIRMED: Mark the work strictly. Pair this with a viva - the student must be able to answer questions about the work from two lecturers with subject expertise, plus someone from the Academic Office (although that latter person can just observe only). This will determine how deep their knowledge is vs what they submitted, and should be factored into the overall mark.
IF CONFIRMED: Module fail, all marks for those credits set to zero, and the information included on transcripts (not why they failed, just that they attempted the module and got zero.) HOWEVER, the student is allowed one resit attempt; this might mean having to redo the year as a part-time student just to get that module, depending on how it's taught and how important it is.
All of the above with the understanding that their work is going to now be checked very closely going forward for repeat issues. In confirmed cases, a viva is now a required part of future work.
To be fair, mind, proving cheating is genuinely very hard, so depending on how strict the uni is, that's roughly the system that gets used anyway. Your work is very strictly marked, you get viva'd, and you usually fail on quality anyway (especially if your flavour of cheating was ChatGPT, because what it produces is shit.) After you've failed, gone through a resit period, and been capped at a pass mark for the fail, you realise pretty quickly that it would have been less stress and effort for a higher mark to just do the work yourself. And that's a learning curve everyone should be allowed, I think.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𖥻 luxiem with a sick darling
Tumblr media
— characters : all of luxiem minus ike eveland ( vox akuma , luca kaneshiro , shu yamino , mysta rias )
— content : x gender neutral reader , romantic , fluff , the reader is called pet names , the reader is was a cold / something alike , vox threaten to strangle the reader with a scarf
— authors note : been sick lately. ( i apologize if anyone is ooc , didn't include ike because i have no clues of how he could act / do with a sick significant other, most likely take care of them at the best of his ability i.e get them meds and foods / water as well as blankies and that the most he could do and i don't know how to develop that )
Tumblr media
— vox akuma , he could probably nag you then take care of you.
' you see ? that why i told you to wear a scarf ! i knew you could get sick ', he could go on for a while about how he warned you but you just couldn't listen to him and how next time you better wear the scarf or he was going to strangle you with it. He could most likely after his nagging session go right to taking care of you, after all how can he, your fantastic boyfriend let his miserable partner suffering all alone thought your sickness. He will make you drink soup, whether you like it or not ( he will try to make it to your liking as best as he can ). He could also insist on you staying in bed, not wanting you to move a single muscles, ' if you move and get any sicker how could i, your wonderful, incredible boyfriend will be able to resit wanting to touch you huh ? And if i do touch you i will also get sick and if i get sick, we will be both sick is that what you wa–...nt ? ' the chances are you felt asleep while he was going on and on about how you should just be a good little human and stay in bed. If that happen Vox will just sigh whisper to himself about how he must resist your cuteness and he will let you rest in the bedroom.
— luca kaneshiro, he could get sick with you.
Lucas will try to take care of you but his knowledge of 'how to care for my sick partner' is quite limited so he will think that the best way to get you up and running again is ... so cuddle you, kiss you and give you the most love he can. Which could be a good idea if that didn't end up in the mafia boss getting exactly sick like you the next day. You can try to protest and argue with him, that ' i'm really happy you still want to kiss me and hug me when i feel like slob but if you do, Lucas you will get sick too ', his only response will be 'babyy ... if i kiss you you will feel better right you always say my kisses help ... or may you lied ?? YOU LIED TO ME ? ' ... yeah you better accept his cuddles even if it end up in the both of you being sick or you having to take care of him the next day if you suddenly got better, but be prepared for a 'see honey? my kisses worked !! you aren't sick anymore ... maybe you should kiss me ! i won't be sick anymore that way ! ' ( don't )
— shu yamino, he could let you alone in it.
He doesn't want to abandon you to your sickness but the sorcerer doesn't want to get sick too. Don't get him wrong, he will get you medicines, foods, water, blankets and all that stuff, he just won't stay in the same room as you. He will send you text all thought the day to make up for it, it can range for a 100 words text about how he love you to a picture of a cute cat and a message with it saying ' look at the cat. ', he will send you messages about what he is doing. He may even try to make chicken broth for you ! ( he will take a picture of it and send it to you with a ' i'm a real malewife right babe ' text ). He will also most likely tidy up your house for you while your sick, he want you to not have to stress about cleaning up right after getting out of the sickness.
— mysta rias, he could try to take care of you and fail
Mysta will for sure try to take care of you but fail miserably. 'SWEETIE I GOT THE GOODS ( the meds )' '... Mysta thoses aren't the good ones ... but thanks you' or 'i made soup !' and it look burn, which is surprising you didn't know soup could burn but seem like you really do learn everyday. At some point between the burned soups and nearly ending you by putting too many blankets on you, the detective will realise that he is not made for taking care of you like that. But he won't give up ! His second plan is to try to make you think of anythings but being sick, if you have enough energy he will make you play somes lighthearted video games together, if not he will opt with watching a movie and for once he will let you choose which one you want to watch 'Are you really really reaaaaally sure you want to watch that ? ... You know what don't answer sure lets watch that you're sick you choose but next time i'm sick i better get movie choice right !' he will make you pinky promise that. Talking about getting sick, Mysta will most likely fell ill too soon after you, he doesn't restrict from holding you, kissing you on the cheek, holding your hands even if you are sick so be ready to take care of a sick fox soon enough.

got any gwevin headcanons?
Tumblr media
here ya go!! sorry if i have less of these my gwevin thoughts are borderline incomprehensible if youre not down w the liz lore.... most of my gwevin shit is so far divorced from canon theyre completely different lawl
-when gwen moves away to go to college kevin comes over to her house w toiletpaper and lightbulbs bc you never remember those when youre first moving out
-gwen actually distrusted kevin heavily when they first met because of their prior meeting but was civil and friendly because she'd been burned before by being outright rude to people she distrusted. this in turn made him obsessed with her bc people are nice to him so rarely
-kevin actually wears more makeup than gwen (whos more of a tinted lip balm and moisturizer type girl) so he does her makeup for special events
-kevin and gwen don't actually ever get married in the series (this is actually canon) and i think its bc even though kevin has a longer lifespan than someone like ben, he'll still die long before gwen does, and shes scared of leaving someone she loves behind. both kevin and gwen r very against the 'saintity of marrige' as well bc of their families so they just stay unmarried for the rest of their lives. they get ben to be a surrogate for devlin though :))
-kevin is very empathetic but not very good at social cues, so he often does things that he feels will help/ empathize with people but doesnt understand the signals they're putting out, if that makes sense, so he'll often try to be affectionate with gwen when she's mad at him and it will just make things worse. gwen knows he's trying to be loving but her inherently judgemental nature makes her go through this endless cycle of confronting bad assumtions about him and trying to knock them down for the sake of the relationship. kevin sees this and appreciates that shes trying, but still feels like hes not worthy of her effort. theyll get through it dont worry
-gwen is a fucking HORRIBLE driver, and has crashed cars multiple times including kevins, but he forgives her no matter what bc she just makes big eyes at him and he forgets that he was mad at her
-gwen grabs kevin's padlock to yank him down to talk to her. 99% of the time this cuts off the air in his windpipe but he gives zero shits because he gets to look at her face to face
there you go!! again, this stuff is purely brain speculation lol. i hate the heteronormative fixer upper type trope so much but theyre so cute i cant resit it, so i make up shit in my head lawl. gwevin is only good when gwen is the boyfriend and kevin is the girlfriend methinks. thanks for the ask!!

When I read the guidance for complaining to the higher education ombudsman, the example case studies they use are along the lines of, an assignment was marked unfairly, or a student should have the opportunity to resit an exam series because they received a disability diagnosis after the exam series ended. There's nothing about your university scamming you by entering a contract promising in person educational delivery and assessment, then moving fully online and reusing pandemic era video lectures that were poorly made, hard to hear, and after three years, outdated. So I don't really know how to approach this. I have proof that the stress made me consider suicide, I have many emails from me to the lecturer who called me a failure saying, I feel hopeless, I am in despair, my future has been destroyed and I want to die. I also have proof from my doctor that the stress made my autoimmune condition worse. I just don't know what's ok to include or not. This isn't like I failed an exam.

So, i Love the idea of demon courting rituals including kidnapping at a certain point (I say at a certain point because I like to imagine INTRICATE RITUALS as to not to actually kidnap someone who doesn't want to be napped) so I love the idea of Red just showing up at MKs place and misunderstandings happening, but we sleep on the idea of MK reading up on what the hell Red Son is doing, realizing he's been trying to court him and that he has blown him off in the worst way... And deciding that demon courting him right back is the only way to show that he gets it now and that he very much likes the idea of going on a date with him.
Please picture it, MK awkwardly stumbling trough Red Sons window, who wakes up in confusion "Noodleboy. There better be a good explanation as to why you are in my roo- " "RED SON! I HAVE COME TO VOICE MY INTENT OF STEALING YOU AWAY IN THREE NIGHTS! DO NOT ATTEMPT RESITANCE AS IT WILL BE FERTI- wait no that can't be right, damn writing got smudge-CRAP MY NOTES!" "Waitwaitwait, are you... Attempting COURTSHIP?" "Uh..." "WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME TAKE YOU AWAY THEN?" "Listen! There are some cultural differences here that may have gotten lost in translation and I thought you might have been threatening me." "...ah...." "Sssoooo... I'm just gonna say it, if you're still up for it I am gonna come back in three days and tie you up or get a bag and then we can go back to my place or watch a movie or." "Do it now." "Uh, but there's a whole thing where we have to fight tomorrow and the day after I have to give you a gift and you have to take it and-" "Consider it done. Do it now." Cut to MK carrying Red Son bridal style, with the flimsiest rope they could find in such a short notice binding his wrists together poorly, both of them absolutely giddy that this worked out after all.
Today had been the worst day in Red Son’s life, second only to his father being sealed away.
The Noodle Boy had rejected his courtship.
Red had done everything right! They had fought and Red had demonstrated how strong of a partner he would be. He had gotten him gifts, like that fancy art set he knew Xiaotian had been eyeing for months! He had researched and studied and had gotten to know Xiaotian for the best courtship and now that had gone all out the window.
He groaned into his pillow, which he had spent most of the day crying in. Everything was awful. Nothing was worth it. His mother was probably planning some kind of over-the-top vengeance for him. It didn’t matter.
Even when a window squeaked open and there was a yelp as whoever it was fell in.
Red glanced back and groaned. "Noodle Boy. There better be a good explanation as to why you are in my roo- " 
Qi Xiaotian held up a hand and fished out a stack of index cards. Red sat up, staring at him as he scanned over whatever was on it before clearing his throat. "RED SON! I HAVE COME TO VOICE MY INTENT OF STEALING YOU AWAY IN THREE NIGHTS! DO NOT ATTEMPT RESITANCE AS IT WILL BE FERTI-” He paused. “Wait, no, that can't be right, damn writing got smudge- The-” He dropped the stack and shrieked. “CRAP, MY NOTES!" 
His heart racing, Red pulled the covers off himself. "Wait wait wait, are you... Attempting COURTSHIP?" 
Xiaotian looked up from where he was trying to pick up the cards. "Uh...Yes?" 
"WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME TAKE YOU AWAY THEN?" Red had been fully prepared and everything! All his preparations had gone to waste this afternoon! And now Xiaotian was here?!
Said Noodle Boy scrambled up, hands raised in a gesture of peace. "Listen! There are some cultural differences here that may have gotten lost in translation and I thought you might have been threatening me." 
"...ah...." Now that he thought about it, straight up saying he was kidnapping him to who knows where might’ve not been the smoothest opening.
"Sssoooo... I'm just gonna say it, if you're still up for it, I am gonna come back in three days and tie you up or get a bag and then we can go back to my place or watch a movie or-" 
"Do it now." Red scrambled out of bed and looked around. Ugh, he had gotten rid of the red silk he was going to use on Xiaotian!
Xiaotian blinked as Red passed him and threw open his closet, beginning to shuffle through it. "Uh, but there's a whole thing where we have to fight tomorrow and the day after I have to give you a gift and you have to take it and-" 
There! Red yanked out a thin sash he wore on one of his nicer suits. He threw it at Xiaotian, who fumbled and dropped his cards again but caught the sash. Red held up his wrists. "Consider it done. Do it now."
Soon enough, Xiaotian was dropping out the window to the tuk-tuk, Red secure in his arms. The fire demon’s wrists were poorly tied but it didn’t matter. 
Not when he was grinning like an idiot at his Noodle Boy’s own stupid grin.

There’s 3 types of stopping an Akuma and here’s how:
How I see it there are 3 types of stopping an Akuma. Maybe 4 if you want to be very exact to the tiniest detail but I categorized 2 of them in 1 category because I think they are close enough. This does not include defeating the Akuma and cleansing it with the Ladybug Miraculous.
People oftentimes argue that Chloé has been the very first character to resist an Akuma when others bring up Alya as the first to reject an Akuma but that’s the thing. She was the first to resist an Akuma’s influence but she wasn’t the first to reject an Akuma and she was not the first to repel an Akuma. People tend to treat all of these the same but I think they are different cases and categories.
Now this may be a bit confusing without knowing what I mean by the categories repulsion, resistance and rejection so here are my explanations as to what these categories are supposed to mean and include. (If anyone has better fitting names for the categories I am open for suggestions. Those were the best fitting ones I could come up with but they may not match like I wanted to).
1. Repulsion:
What do I mean by repulsion? Well usually this includes instances where an Akuma does not touch an object and therefore gets repelled.
Examples for this are: Su-Han’s mantra in the season 4 episode Furious Fu. Or that time in the season 3 episode Chameleon where Marinette calmed down before the Akuma could touch her belongings. But I also include instances like in the season 5 episode Revolution where Mister Damocles almost gets akumatized but because of his students encouragment he gets courage again which results in the magical charm manifesting as a shield allowing him to cleanse the Akuma before it could touch anything. But then there is the instance in the season 5 episode Collusion where Miss Bustier manages to cleanse an Akuma through meditation (at least I am assuming that was some form of meditation technique). Yes an object of hers got touched by the Akuma so technically it’s a bit different compared to the other instances but it’s also kinda similar to Damocles case since the Akuma got cleansed so I’d still count it as repelling.
So generally we can summarize this category with characters and instances where characters have calmed down before an Akuma could touch them or when they have cleansed the Akuma. (Those are actually the 2 sub-categories which I have categorized in one category because to me cleansing an Akuma and stopping the Akuma before getting touched are both ways of repelling an Akuma to me.)
There is a bit of a side effect to this tho. While in some cases the Akumas do get cleansed because of meditation or the magical charms, it can also happen that an Akuma instead gets redirected to the next victim because the Akuma hasn’t been cleansed.
2. Resistance
What do I mean by resitance? Well usually this includes instances where an Akuma does manage to touch an object but the target managed to resist the temptation and offer of power. However the Akuma doesn’t get cleansed.
Examples for this are: Chloé Bourgeois resists getting turned into an Akuma Villain even after the Akuma touching her picture by rejecting the temptation and Hawk Moth’s offer for power in the season 3 episode Miraculer. Or Félix Fathom when he resisted getting turned into an Villain even after the Akuma touched his stuff simply by rejecting Shadow Moth’s offer (and Senti!Gabriel’s threats) in the season 4 episode Gabriel Agreste.
However because the Akumas don’t get cleansed they just target a new victim so someone else gets turned into an Akuma instead.
3. Rejection
What do I mean by rejection? Well usually this includes instances where an Akuma manages to akumatize the target and fall under some semblance of mind control (since Akuma Villains do tend to act in a way the target would never have acted like without the Akumas influence). However the target eventually manages to break free from that control and manages to deakumatize themselves.
Examples for this are: Alya Césaire in the season 4 episode Gang of Secrets, when Alya managed to break free and turn herself back from Lady Wifi into Alya. Nino Lahiffe in the season 4 episode Rocketear, when Nino managed to break free and turn himself back from Rocketear to Nino. Chloé Bourgeois in the season 4 episode Penalteam, when Penalty got sick of her clones and eventually turned herself back into Chloé. Kagami Tsurugi in the season 5 episode Perfection, when an akumatized Kagami sees how much other people actually care about her. She breaks free from the Akumas control in that moment and managed to turn herself back from Ryukomori into Kagami. Lila Rossi/Cerise (or whatever her name is. I’ll call her Lila for simplicity) in the season 5 episode Revelation, when she manages to deakumatize herself from Hoaxer to Lila after she got the information she wanted from Nathalie.
What I’ve also noticed about the instances in this category is that the characters seem to retain their memories from when they have been akumatized which is something that usually never happens after getting deakumatized. Usually characters are disoriented and don’t remember anything but whenever a character manages to deakumatize themselves they seem to know where they are and what happened. Take Lila as an example. She smirked right after deakumatizing herself like she knew exactly what she did. Or Alya, she didn’t look confused at all and could instantly respond to Ladybug’s comments which is something that Akuma Victims usually never do due to the disorientation and confusion. They usually take a moment to collect their thoughts and realize where they are or why they could be there meanwhile Alya didn’t take that time. She only took a little time to catch her breath. Or Kagami who seemed to remember what happened while she was Ryukomori. It’s similar like with Alya where she didn’t seem disoriented at all and she didn’t seemed confused on why Marinette’s classmates where there with a big picture of Kagami. It was like she knew exactly what happened similar as Alya and Lila.
Anyway…
There really are differences between how a character may stop an Akuma from targeting them.
Anytime someone brings up the characters that have rejected an Akuma there is always someone who brings up Chloé Bourgeois. The character who had a picture touched by an Akuma in the season 3 episode Miraculer and then resisted the Akuma’s influence by rejecting Hawk Moth’s offer for power. People keep bringing up Chloé was the first to resist an Akuma. And that is true but the problem is that they throw it into the same category as repulsion and rejection. How I see it’s not the same thing so I don’t think Chloé should be brought up when people talk about characters who have rejected an Akuma. Same thing the other way around. And same thing with characters who have repelled Akumas. Characters like Alya should not be brought up when talking about characters who have resisted an Akuma. At least not if you are trying to say they are the same thing. It would be like trying to compare apples and pears.
Even if we would act like repulsion, resistance, and rejection are all the same thing, Chloé would still not be the first to stop an Akuma from targeting herself. In that case, it would be Marinette who was the first to stop an Akuma from targeting herself since the season 3 episode Chameleon (in Chameleon Marinette managed to stop the Akuma from targeting her by calming down) was canonically before the season 3 episode Miraculer (in Miraculer an Akuma landed on a picture Chloé was holding and Cloé managed to resist the Akuma’s influence by rejecting Hawk Moth’s offer for power). However like I previously said these are not the same thing. Yes generally speaking all 3 are ways to stop an Akuma from targeting a specific person but they are different ways to do that. Some stop the Akuma from targeting only one person, others stop the Akuma from targeting everyone and the rest stop the Akuma from controlling someone (which kind of is also a form of targeting in a sense. Maybe not the traditional way but it is kinda targeting someone if you try to control them). I don’t want to treat them the same because to me they are not the same. If we go as a whole then yes, Marinette would be the first to stop an Akuma without explicitly using the Ladybug Miraculous. Chloé would be second, and Alya would be 3rd. However, if we divide this into sub-categories like I did Marinette is the first to repel, Chloé is the first to resist and Alya is the first to reject. It just makes more sense to me to divide them into separate categories.

Medschool, disability, and failed exams
(ngl just wanted to get this out of my system but honestly would appreciate any advice/comments/etc on dealing with this absolute bullshit)
I failed my 3rd year OSCE resit. Im so frustrated, I don't understand the scoring of the stations and why I failed so many. One I was sure I'd fail, I didn't. One I was sure was good, I failed. It all seems to vary so much depending on individual examiners. ''Objective'' does not seem accurate. It's even worse bc I got over 50% both times but just didn't pass enough stations. The feedback given is generally useless. Now I have to repeat the entirelty of third year and it feels like so much goddamn effort is wasted.
So little accommodation is made for disabled students and I have felt the impact of that on my education my entire life, but medschool, particularly in the clinical phase, takes it to an extreme. With the amount of abled students burning out, it wasn't surprising to me but unfortunately that doesn't actually help with dealing with it. I'm just so fucking exhausted with having to fight and claw for literally the minimum consideration and still getting nowhere.
After the first failed sit I was sat infront of one of the vice dean and he asked why I failed, I explained that I had a chest infection at the time and still attempted the exams but ended up subluxating a rib 15 minutes before the start time of the first day. He expressed his disbelief at that occuring and made a joke about me drugging myself up to help the pain and going into the exam basically high. How is that appropriate conduct?
I haven't been shocked at the amount of ableism perpetuated by doctors and the medical industry in general in a long time, but I am constantly embittered by it. I don't trust them with my health, I don't trust them with my education, I don't even trust them to assess me accurately if I'm honest.
I honestly don't think/know if I can afford to retake the year. I currently am currently trying to juggle was is effectively a full time job with placement (which doesn't include teaching), actually teaching myself what we're supposed to know, 5+ different doctors regarding my own health, and then normal day to day functioning and life. Its not sustainable, but other than leaving medical school entirely, theres no other option. And I love medicine, I love seeing patients, the month I spent in community paediatrics was beyond inspiring but why do I have to suffer so much to even get a chance at achieving it?

- ̥۪͙۪˚┊❛ Welcome to Sapphire Falls - New Years Special #3 ❜┊˚̥۪͙۪◌
Tumblr media
Basketballer!Chris Evans x Abigail Syverson (plus size!ofc) & Farmer!Syverson x Livia Darmandi (Asian ofc)
Summary: How is Sy doing a year later?
Word count: 1.2k
Warnings: None
The Advent Calendar (a.k.a. the masterlist)
Tumblr media
My mornings always look the same. Getting up, pressing a kiss on Livia’s forehead and start my day. Cleaning the stables, feeding the animals (including those very scary goats, who I think are warming up to me) and once I’m done with that, I start preparing breakfast for me and Livia.
It’s a routine I appreciate and I know that she does too. This pregnancy has been rough on her, especially with the morning sickness and the sleepless nights. Every morning, with her hair wild from all the tossing and turning, she sits on the chair, takes a few sips of tea and then flashes me one of her beautiful smiles and says good morning.
And now I watch her holding both of our coats in her hand. ‘Come on, let’s go,’ she says.
‘Liv, they are landing in four hours. It’s an hour drive, so we don’t have to leave just yet.’
Livia glares at me, before hanging up the coats over the back of the chair. ‘What if there is traffic?’
‘It’s Sapphire Falls, sweetheart,’I tell her, ‘there is no such thing as traffic.’
She plops down on the couch next to me and says: ‘I am just really excited.’
‘Me too,’ I say with a smile, ‘but we’re not just gonna wait three hours there.’
Livia and her sense of time is a little off, dare I even say pregnancy has made it worse. Though I will never tell that to Livia, because she’ll either cry or become very offended and I don’t want any of those reactions. Instead, I say: ‘Everything is ready for the proposal, the animals are well fed, there is no more paperwork. I am thinking two things.’
‘Tell me.’
‘One, you can write a little. Two, you can take a nap.’
She yawns, almost on cue. ‘A nap sounds good.’ She nestles against my frame and within no time she’s drifted off to sleep. These last few weeks, she’s been sleeping less and less. Whenever I wake up, she’s also up and even when she sleeps in, I can tell she’s dog tired. Sometimes I try to get her to rest a little, however Livia wouldn’t be Livia if she didn’t fight against it and tells me she’s fine. I’m glad she listened to me now, because I know these days, leading up to Chris’ proposal, have been eating her up alive. 
I resit a little, make sure she’s comfortable and I hold my Liv close in my arms. Like she always does, she drools a little on my shirt, but it’s alright. 
This last year has been amazing. I can’t believe Livia is my wife now, is gonna be the mother of our kid. Sometimes I wonder if we go too fast, but then I realize this is Livia, my sweet Livia. 
There are times where I almost fear I love her too much and with this new little one on the way, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so vulnerable. The whole idea of something happening to Liv or the baby, those are the things that keep me up at night.
I place my hand on her slightly protruding stomach and let out a deep and content sigh. 
This is my life. 
●・○・●・○・●
We’re waiting in the car because it’s cold out and we have a few minutes to kill before Chris and Abigail arrive. The nap did wonders for her. She isn’t consuming as much coffee as she did prior to this baby and she actually mentioned something about coffee withdrawal. Out of solidarity, I don’t drink as much coffee anymore, just like I adjusted my entire diet for her and I’m the designated bin for everything she doesn’t want to eat anymore. 
‘So, what do you think of the name Maple for a girl?’ Livia says.
‘Maple as in Maple Syrup?’ 
She scrunches her nose. ‘Never mind.’
I let out a chuckle. We’ve been discussing names for quite some time now, but there hasn’t been a name we both liked. Thankfully we have a few months ahead of us, but I know it would calm her mind if we have a name ready now.
Without using words, I think it’s safe to say we are using the name Syverson. While Livia still writes under the name Livia Darmandi, she took the name Syverson instantly, telling me she never really cared for her last name anyway. So, we have to think of names that match the name Syverson which is both a constriction, as a blessing.
She leans to the side and says: ‘Are you sure everything is ready for the proposal?’ 
‘Yes, sweetheart, everything is ready.’
‘One hundred percent sure?’
‘One hundred percent sure.’ 
Livia looks up and says: ‘I can’t believe Abigail is gonna be an Evans. Let alone the wife of Chris Evans, NBA player.’
‘To me she’ll always be my annoying little sister.’
‘And to me she’ll always be my greatest friend alive, just like Chris will always be the annoying Chris who peed his pants in kindergarten.’
‘He also had an accident on our porch,’ I note.
‘Maybe I will write a biography about him,’ I say. ‘Then I’ll interview his closest friends and we’ll have a book filled with embarrassments.’
I snicker. ‘But we can’t mention the B-word.’
‘But how can we not mention the B-word in a biography about Chris?’ 
‘You’ll figure out a way.’
She chuckles. ‘What do you think a biography about you will say?’
‘The main theme would be you.’
‘You are so obsessed with me,’ she jokes, sitting up straight as she zips up her coat. ‘Luckily I’m obsessed with you too.’
Liv and I are waiting for Chris and Abigail to appear and I hate to admit it, but I am really looking forward to having them over, especially because Chris is finally popping the question.
Abigail dumps the suitcases with Chris, before she makes her way over to Livia, letting out an excited scream in the process. She unzips Livia’s coat and says: ‘Hi baby, how is my favorite niece or nephew doing?’
‘Is this how it’s gonna be?’ Livia asks. ‘You’re gonna ignore me and love this baby more? I knew you first.’
Abigail looks up to see a Livia pout. ‘Oh no, honey. Of course not.’ She wraps her arms around Livia and says: ‘You look so cute.’
Chris manages to bring all of the suitcases with us and says: ‘No, babe, I don’t need help. I can miraculously grow five extra arms from my upper body to carry the suitcases.’
Abigail smiles. ‘I knew you got it covered.’
While I give my sister a hug–and didn’t want to die or had to resist the urge to push her– Chris hugs Livia and I hear him say: ‘Damn, I’m gonna be an uncle. That’s pretty cool.’
‘We can talk in the car,’ Livia says, ‘because I’m freezing!’ She grabs Abigail’s hand and the two of them walk towards the car, leaving me and Chris behind.
‘You ready?’ I ask him, grabbing a few of the suitcases.
‘More than ready,’ Chris says, a beaming smile on his face. ‘Fuck, I can’t wait to wife her.’ He turns to the side and says: ‘No threats? About how you are gonna chop me in pieces if I hurt her?’
I shake my head. ‘No, I’m not gonna do anything that can put me in jail. I’ve got a wife and a kid on the way.’ I let out a snicker and say: ‘But know that I know people.’

a (very rare) math/science post.
Tumblr media
hey! so i'm a british student but you'll see me putting things in brackets to help clarify things for my non british readers. so i did my GCSEs (i think the american equivalent is SATs?) back in may and june and one thing about me during my last year of school is i was in some deep shit. so i didn't really do that well. I got a bunch of 6s (B+s) and7 (A) in eng lit. i found i was couple marks off of a grade 7 (A ) in almost all my subjects including math and science. now i can deal with a B in art and a B in sociology because I'm doing them for A levels ( google tells me the americn equivalent is AP examinations) so doing well in them means that my gcse grade will be dismissed since i did better at A level today i asked my math teacher if there was any way i could resit and he cut me the following deal: if i resat my exams in either november or june of next year and got a better grade then he'd cover the fees and same goes for science. now, i just started sixth form/college so i'd have to learn in my own time somehow. i don't have anyone to teach me and i can't afford tutoring but i was offered to sit in the back of lessons during my free period every tuesday and that afterschool i can ask whatever available teacher for help for anything i really really can't teach myself should i go for it? please interact and tell me what you think.

UPCOMING . . . B I R T H D A Y . S P E C I A L ! (12th S E P T.)
hello, my loves!
i'm sorry for being away for such an extended amount of time; as soon as i finished my summer resit exams, i went abroad to the Philippines to see family again after some years because of the pandemic.
i know i said i would be writing during that time but it was kind of a struggle to write because there was hardly any secure wifi where i was living TT^TT and also, i was doing a lot with family and just finally relaxing for the summer after all that stress with exams and such
but just yesterday, i came back to the UK with stable wifi and tomorrow...it's my birthday (september 12th) where i'll be hosting my first ever birthday special!
the rules are pretty simple -^7^-
i'll be accepting and writing any and all requests for the whole day so long as they aren't nsfw, don't include any triggering content and only concern the fandoms i am already currently writing for on this blog (bnha, haikyuu + tokyo revengers)
for clarification, triggering content that i will not be writing for include :
racism
self-harm
child abuse
violence
homophobia or transphobia
rape and other forms of sexual violence/abuse
incest
animal abuse or death
i will NOT be writing requests that include these topics but everything else, i will do my best to write!
also... just so i can get through as many requests as i can, i'll be keeping the word count for each request between a (min.) 500 to 2k (max.) word length
not only that but, for those of you who have been anticipating an update on my current fics, i will be posting them throughout the day of my birthday too! so it'll be a whole day of finally dishing out the content i've been deprived of posting for so long!
all updates include the following :
extras for kiripima! (kirishima endearment series)
extras for mommy! (bakugou endearment series)
the p.a chapter 6 | poly bakusquad
mechanic x rich girl | shinichiro
snow white and the seven dwarves | bokuto ; dream come true series
for now, think up a request or two, there are no limits; so long as you make the request on september 12th, i'll be writing it!
that's all! see you lovely darlings tomorrow <3
all my love,
dollie x

I don't remember you, but I'm here for the ride from your old blog anyway. So why don't you (re)introduce yourself!
I'll go first: I'm Bee/Beth, I live in Tasmania, my main historical fandoms have been Doctor Who/MLP/Homestuck but really I'm fond of most cartoons and sci fi. I love curries. There are brushtail possums living in my roof. I own 23 copies of Shrek on VHS.
Hello!! I haven't received an ask in years so this feels special!!
I'm Krystal, from oz also! Originally was super into fandom blogging as a teenager (doctor who and mlp included haha, so maybe thats how you found me) but eventually began posting less and spent the last 5+ years mainly lurking and occasionally reblogging or posting!
I'm big into arts when I have it in me to feel things. I do lots of things badly, like zine making, sewing, music production. Lately I've been enjoying lino cutting and collages :)
Currently resiting the urge to overshare about my life on the internet, so the about me stops here!! thanks for saying hi, it made me so happy!! 🩷

"I'm so bad at art." Actually you're doing well, because you've reached the first step in thinking critically about what you've created. Don't get angry cos it ain't perfect - work out how you can make it better to your eye! Maybe that means watching YouTube videos, reading books, and looking critically at other people's work... In class we're literally told to copy out other people's designs, to experiment with the techniques they've used. Learn the words, give yourself the tools to see all the elements of your work and how you can change them deliberately. It's pretty rare you'll be satisfied with something first try, so instead of dismissing it, work out why. I know it's hard. And I too have given up on many occasions, which brings us to point two. Everyone has different strengths. In school my drama teacher would say she was terrible at drawing, but could she act? Yeah. Could she sing insanely well? Yup. So is she 'bad at art' because her type of art is not using pencil and paper? Of course not! But she found the thing she enjoys and so that's what she does. I knit, I sew... I like formulaeic things, and feeling the material in my hands. As a kid, messing around with origami was how I unwound. I find comfort in being precise. On the other hand, that is the very thing my sister hates, but she's amazing at illustrating, at pulling images from her mind and drawing them down. Everyone's got their own thing; maybe you just haven't found yours yet. To me, art is what you make it. Art is for everyone. And maybe it's not your thing, and that's ok too. But don't ever let anyone - including yourself - say "you can't do art". Cos you can, maybe you just need to change the way you think about it. Art isn't just what's up in galleries, or on the covers of magazines. It's radical resitance, an expression of yourself, a thing that binds people across generations, oceans, through hardship together. Art is you.

alright so i might revive this blog but idk what i would revive it into so i’m just gonna do a bit of an intro since some things have ✨changed✨ since the last time i did one (i think it might be visible in my likes if those can be seen). anyway:
my names hannah
i’m 22, although 23 in november
i’m from the uk lol (the tories are a joke, i know)
i’m bi
i use she/they pronouns, tho i’m kinda avoidant of figuring out if i’m non-binary or not since my mental health didn’t exactly end up great when i realised i was bi lol
i have recently finished doing resits for my ✨law✨ degree, although don’t have results yet and may have to do further resits yet so my end result is not yet know
no fucking clue what i want to do as a job/ career so my goal is just to get a job that gets me a bit of money at the minute, though i am interested in going into the legal/ forensics side of things without aiming for the solicitor route if possible
music interests include: taylor swift, the wanted, fall out boy & harry styles mainly, but obvs have playlists full of other bits from like the barbie soundtrack & whatever
tv shows i’d say are my faves: agents of s.h.i.e.l.d. & brooklyn nine-nine (i think)
tv shows i’ve watched recently: good omens, the handmaid’s tale, two broke girls, manifest (im on s3 at the minute), heartstopper, the last of us
current fave films & recently watched: la la land, the barbie movie, red, white & royal blue, reputation stadium tour (i guess?), the unbearable weight of massive talent
book i’ve recently finished: the ballad of songbirds & snakes (hunger games prequel)
book i’m currently reading: the girl who broke the sea
there’s probably other little bits but tbh i can’t really think of them off the top of my head
but yeah, i’m no good at blogs or tumblr but if anyone has any idea of what i could use this for based on that then please help 😂😅 i’d be grateful ☺️
