can i also just say, and i swear after this i will try to shut up about bigug (no promises), how wild it is to me that the fandom took the guy who kissed another guy at prom to stop him from spiraling into self-loathing, and who later said that a gay 3-way makeout session with said guy sounded cool, and somehow made HIM the token straight of the group??? insanity. you dont get him like i do.

Lest we forget:

Welcome, one and all, to another exciting year here at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, where we train the next generation of adventurers. But what is an adventurer? One who goes on adventures? I say an adventurer is a hero.

And what is a hero? A hero is someone with the strength of a heart, courage of spirit, and the might of will to go to strange lands and enact violence on things there. We go to places where there are things that must be destroyed, and we destroy them. Wandering from town to town getting into trouble, meeting in flophouses and taverns. Getting into scrapes with the law and otherwise finding ourselves engaged in all manner of tom-foolery and shenanigans. Sometimes violent, sometimes fatal, yes fatal.

A hero is a violent wanderer who enacts their will, bloodily, and with strange magics, upon the world.

also congratulations to riz for being The dragon killer of all time. kalvaxus and oisin's grandmother took that picture together thinking they were hot shit and little did they know centuries later they'd both get absolutely rocked by the same 4'4 goblin teenager with a briefcase and glasses. get fucked losers

why does life keep forcing kristen to see herself die again (cassandra) and again (buddy dawn) and again (K2) why must she watch reflections of herself shatter before her and why does it always fall on her shoulders to bring them back, is it life telling her that she must fix something withtin herself to truly move on? is it life telling her that she will forever be broken? what does life gain from breaking down this little child, not only in death but also in living reflection, why show her nara, happy and flourishing and loved by her ex lover, "she is you with money" nara who is reliable and dependable and put together. why show her bucky? small and fragile and alone after she left him because she had to? bucky, her own flesh and blood the closest of the reflections to her, standing exactly where she stood a few years ago..why

and i know in my heart she will never talk about this and i know it will never be said or mentioned by anyone but i often just sit there and think about her little tortured soul and wonder why is life so adamant about beating her down.

[lizziedark]

yeah that's exactly what i was saying

Thinking about Porter refusing to sign Gorgug’s MCAT resulting in him taking 4 full years of classes at once and taking stress tokens to try to pass.

Thinking about Gorgug getting closer and closer to taking a rage token to pass his classes.

Thinking about Brennan saying “in most futures your head is chopped off by a raging Gorgug who lost control”

Don’t mess with the elven oracle, I heard one of her friends brings leftover dragon for lunch

People shocked by Riz smoking during combat and being 100% fine with Sprak doing meth are forgetting this is the same teenage goblin who did a shit ton of FANTASY COCAINE in his Sophomore year spring break followed by getting a conspiracy board tattood ALL OVER his body. My boy has been crazy since DAY FUCKING ONE!!!!!!! HE ATE HIS EX-VICE PRINCIPLE!!!!!

#riz gukgak #he’s unhinged #dimension 20 #I love him #the second he’s no longer stressed about grades the crazy comes out

“Kristen remember when we died?”

Oh my god why did it just now register to me that that’s like. Their first moment of really bonding with each other. They both died and realized how fucked up their perspective afterlives were, came back traumatized, and that’s like. Forever their first bonding moment as friends. Wild.

#the first day of school and you die #and then you continue to go back every year #and they’re currently fighting to save the school who killed them on the first day #and has almost killed and failed them bc of quests the school has put them on #actually insane when I think about it

adaine being a war caster, spell sniper, mage slayer, wizard with a sword as an arcane focus and a signature spell of punch you into the stratosphere. everything to me.

bludgeoned somebody to death on her first day of high school, killed her dad in one punch, way too excited to be given a gun and get a go on the cannons.

she would have done numbers as a werewolf.

#counterspell this you fucking casual is real adaine dialogue in my heart of hearts i need it on siobhan's desk she'll see the vision

what's so funny to me is that i saw people starting to speculate why jace was in on the plan which made me reflect that i hadn't even considered a possibility that wasn't just the fact that he was getting cock from porter. like i wish i was kidding

Oisin: “Liked my Ping Pong ball trap? Figured you all wouldn’t be clever enough-“

Riz: “I’m gonna eat your fucking family, dude”

Oisin: “What?”

Riz: “I killed and ate your grandma’s boyfriend, I just killed your grandma and like six of your aunts and uncles and cousins, im going to eat them all and you. You got siblings at the Middle School?”

Oisin:

Riz: Gugkak family tradition, fucker

This is the real reason Riz took up smoking after the Porter reveal

The whole "the brain isn't fully mature until age 25" bit is actually a fairly impressive bit of psuedoscience for how incredibly stupid the way it misinterprets the data it's based on is.

Okay, so: there's a part of the human brain called the "prefrontal cortex" which is, among other things, responsible for executive function and impulse control. Like most parts of the brain, it undergoes active "rewiring" over time (i.e., pruning unused neural connections and establishing new ones), and in the case of the prefrontal cortex in particular, this rewiring sharply accelerates during puberty.

Because the pace of rewiring in the prefrontal cortex is linked to specific developmental milestones, it was hypothesised that it would slow down and eventually stop in adulthood. However, the process can't be directly observed; the only way to tell how much neural rewiring is taking place in a particular part of the brain is to compare multiple brain scans of the same individual performed over a period of time.

Thus, something called a "longitudinal study" was commissioned: the same individuals would undergo regular brain scans over a period of mayn years, beginning in early childhood, so that their prefrontal development could accurately be tracked.

The longitudinal study was originally planned to follow its subjects up to age 21. However, when the predicted cessation of prefrontal rewiring was not observed by age 21, additional funding was obtained, and the study period was extended to age 25. The predicted cessation of prefrontal development wasn't observed by age 25, either, at which point the study was terminated.

When the mainstream press got hold of these results, the conclusion that prefrontal rewiring continues at least until age 25 was reported as prefrontal development finishing at age 25. Critically, this is the exact opposite of what the study actually concluded. The study was unable to identify a stopping point for prefrontal development because no such stopping point was observed for any subject during the study period. The only significance of the age 25 is that no subjects were tracked beyond this age because the study ran out of funding!

I gets me when people try to argue against the neuroscience-proves-everybody-under-25-is-a-child talking point by claiming that it's merely an average, or that prefrontal development doesn't tell the whole story. Like, no, it's not an average – it's just bullshit. There's no evidence that the cited phenomenon exists at all; if there is an age where prefrontal rewiring levels off and stops (and it's not clear that there is), we don't know what age that is; we merely know that it must be older than 25.

When you finally get to utilize the cool fighterplane NPC and it turns out his wwii larp is a little too accurate

I love how cunty Riz turn in the heat of battle. he's smoking, he gets Eugenia's vibes he says "good. we need you alert and awake" to a classmate doing meth. he truly released his inhibitions and felt the rain on his skin

#so bad that this is wher he thrives #riz gukgak #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhjy #fantasy high junior year #god i love this little goblin guy #new season new murph rolls
