#I like learning I hate school

[inthewychelm]

ive been thinking about hard of hearing steve, who started losing his hearing after starcourt, the scoops troops are the first to find out because of how attached they are, robin erica and dustin all insist on steve learning to sign but he's insecure about learning a new language so they slowly learn and start teaching him

after vecna, eddie gets adopted to their little group and starts picking up on the signs and learning on his own, still struggles to hold a conversation, esp with the likes of robin or dustin, but he atleast knows simple words and phrases enough to communicate, eddie also gets into the habit of signing ILY to steve before he leaves, except steve rarely studies asl on his own most of what he remembers is from robin/erica/dustin, who never thought to teach him that specific sign, so steve just thinks eddie is just being a metalhead throwing up a 'rock on' gesture, hes still absolutely endeared by eddie doing this but he doesn't realize that eddie saying he loves him everyday, what follows is a ridiculous amount of pining where only steve doesn't know because everyone else know what that sign means, he only finds out because after gossiping with robin(who has tried to tell steve that its reciprocated) about eddie, erica interupts their convo by telling steve that eddie tells him he loves steve everyday (that clown is so obviously in love with you, how are you still pining? you're supposed to be a expert, steve?)

(edit 07/23: this fic is now on ao3)

#she says this loudly in the middle of an empty family video eddie walks in during the middle of the argument that follows #immediately gets roasted and gets a boyfriend bc steve is not running from the chance in front of him #yes i am projecting my hearing loss onto steve deal with it #also i dont like the idea that steve hates himself for losing his hearing even if its from tramua bc it makes me feel shitty about mine #instead i like to think he leans into it like a grandpa he might never get hearing aids or maybe he does and avoids ever turning them on #but i do think he would be insecure about trying to learn a new language when he previously has shown to struggle with school #so even after eight months of learning he's still kinda learning basic signs while the other scoop troops are catching on more #hard of hearing steve is something so personal to me #stranger things #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #hoh steve harrington #hard of hearing steve harrington #stranger things headcanons #steddie ficlet

they banned ap psych in florida cuz the class ap discusses sexuailty and gender which violates ron desantis' piece of shit dont say gay law so fuck you ron for that

in the college board statement they say it was banned because "teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law" which is bullshit because these gov leaders believe anything lgbtq is a brain disease so you'd think theyd keep the brain learning class

they banned ap african american studies because "it lacks educational value and historical accuracy" which is making it easier for them to erase black history that is so intertwined with the history of this country that most everything here is so deeply antiblack

this mf has his head so far up his ass that hes ruining our education system even more than it already was

#fuck you ron desantis i hate you so much I hate you i hate you i hate yoy #and cuz me nd my friends are tryna reach our counselors to see whats up or if theyre rearranging schedules and keep mentioning him #i keep getting ron desantis ads ab if i want to elect him president of the united fucking states of America #and then it was an ap class i was interested in taking cuz i thought itd be cool to learn about so fuck you ron for that too #and THEN it was the only class i knew ppl in. ljke half the class was ppl ive seen before or talked too #im ranting ab missing out on the class nd not seeing my friends but its really a bigger issue than that #like its scary hes using his power to attack lgbtq communities and kids and then he has enough support that hes rallying for head seat #its not safe here at all i cannot fucking wait to leave #ron desantis #us politics #ap psychology #college board #lgbtq #so mad im shaking im so sorry if this doesnt make any sense but school starts in a week exactly nd im tryna figure out the little issue #l speaks #keep talking l #ranting in the tags because i can #black history #racism

yes obviously the worst part of AYA is all the weird, heteronormative ooc shit but also. I honestly don't think Phineas "laws of physics are despotism" Flynn would willingly go to college

#pnf #phineas and ferb #mine. #like realistically. what the hell would he study. he's doing just fine at 10 without an engineering degree #and if there was a area of study he was interested in i dont think he would spent thousands of dollars #to learn about it in a traditional school setting #my ideal visions of adult! phineas and ferb: college dropouts who are always on the beink of financial disaster #because they hate making money off their inventions

Don't ever feel shame for how you learn things.

We're all taught that there's different 'groups' of learning. Visual, auditory, ect. But actually, its a lot more than that, because learning also comes down to retention and processing.

Someone I know was embarrassed to tell me they learned how to fix their shower from TikTok, and after a lot of discussion admitted most of the things they know presently are things they learned off of TikTok, because casually given information with visual steps in a short amount of time is how they best process and retain information.

For me, I can still learn that way, but I've also learned most things in my life from huge chunks of descriptive text. I can look at pictorials and understand them and interpret the actions and steps between them. I can still remember instructions from my earlier school years because the way my brain remembers things best is plain text format.

If you find you're struggling to learn new things, to struggling to remember things you've learned, try re-learning them a different way. Podcasts, TikTok, download .pdf instructions, ect. Go back to it a few times. Learn it in small parts, until you can combine those small parts to remember the whole thing.

If you don't understand something by processing it one way, try it another way!

If you ever felt stupid or unintelligent in school because learning was hard for you, you weren't. I promise. Hours of staring at various textbooks and powerpoints five days a week has never been a one-size-fits-all for learning.

Find your way. And don't be embarrassed about it. The information stays the same regardless of if you learn it from a book or a 30 second video reel.

#myfandomrealitea #sephiroth speaks #reality #not discourse #learning #education #tiktok #videos #school #i hate tiktok with a burning vengeance but like most evils there's still good to be found within #i can excuse the gross chewing “asmr” if you teach me how to crochet a frog

i see some videos like ‘you should never go to art school its a sham!!’ and then everytime its someone.. who went to art school and they go well i did learn a lot BUT. and i guess i just wish art school was cheaper and more accessible because it is clearly worth something its just not worth how much it fucking costs

#but i get really dubious when people say shit like ‘you can learn everything you need from youtube’ because i also dont think thats true #some form of mentorship is important and you need feedback and crits #i just hate that its so unachievable to get that without art school

#prefacing this with I Know Spanish. i cant not know spanish‚ my parents don't speak english #but im the only one of my siblings that didnt get to go to school over there 🇲🇽 (just pre school) #adn the thing is like. my siblings wld talk to me in eng of course #(if they talked to me at all! what do u say to a baby when you're 9 12 and 15 yrs older.) #and my parents wld similarly jst not talk to me? i did not have conversations with them from birth to now lol. #thjere is something about how like. my sisters kids are also learning the languages at the same time #but when they mess up in spanish theyre corrected‚ by my sister (their mom)‚ my other sister‚ my parents #why not Me. why wasnt that extended to Me as a child... #the same reason I have the least amount of baby pictures while my siblings all have one full book each i bet #the same reason why my and my eldest sister are 15 yrs apart LOL #igts so crazy to me. i hate mentioning this bc people assume #im one of those ppl who isnt fluent bc their parents speak english and spanish and never taught them #my parents dont speak english❗❗❗❗ #my nephew thats older than me who is my fave family member and also only speaks spanish #is coming up on sunday idk that i can fully carry convo with him! #pure spanglish bc i didnt grow up having convos in it writing it reading it #thats why im so desperate to read books in spanish now. im so deeply ashamed #igts so crazy. i hate it. #saw a comment on smthng the other day thats like ''idk how u can have parents that only speak spanish and not know it lol'' #well can you take a guess. can u take a guess as to how that would happen via interactions. lack thereof. #idk why but its even more embarrassing this way. genuinely how cld u not know...? #its like i was born to feel isolated from my family in every single way...youngest by so many years #the language thing. the Hates Eating thing. the trans thing. most severe failure to launch #im so embarrassed to be alive....! #and i dont belong anywhere. and i am Alone wherever I am. #abandoned by direct and distant relatives. ancestors.

I’ve always loved medicine bc it’s the perfect intersection of science and humanity—the two things I value above all else in this world. Truly adored it since I was in the cradle. But now I’m thinking about how so much of my journey to neurosurgery will have to involve KILLING my feelings essentially bc how do you survive otherwise

#Not to mention the surprisingly high suicide rate of surgeons that’s been brought to my attention lately #Honestly I just started my neuro internship and just saw my first patient in clinic #And on the day I did I was critical of my neurologist for being so robotic about it #Now I can see why #I’m still at a point where I can’t even do a chart review for a patient without feeling so fucking sad #And I can see how that can get unsustainable after a while #But it’s like if I kill the feelings that drive my passion for medicine to begin with then what’s the point #It’s not like I’m in it for the money or prestige bc that’s so dumb considering how long the schooling is #But literally how to deal #My supervisors at the clinic very much all speak about the dementia patients w a learned impartialness #But I don’t wanna be that way one day :( but how to be anything else and still survive #I’m pre med so I still have time and maybe my opinion will change and I’ll wanna do another specialty #But when it comes to this every specialty will involve human lives and navigating that regardless #That said I can see why surgeons are at higher risk or depression suicide etc #The whole point of this internship is to teach myself how to navigate this stuff but. Hate it #p #med tag

i wish i could post insightful things about fantasy high: junior year but i am too busy being thrust into intense flashbacks of my own high school years and dealing with the anxiety that produces

like kudos to dimension 20 for accurately portraying how junior year of high school in the usa fucks a person up while simultaneously building a truly fantastic and gripping plot

but also i am literally just. sitting here. and did not ask to be mentally and emotionally devastated in this particular way

#to be clear i am absolutely LOVING this season #the very real emotions about high school are good actually #but at the same time i am suffering #also they're all doing good in high school! i barely graduated! #i liked learning but i hated homework! #bc i had and have adhd! #if i were to explain my experience as rolls of the dice #i feel like i rolled low on many classes and refused to take stress until the very last second #but also the stress was so real #so i identify deeply with this season #i'm in this picture and i don't like it #just kidding this might be my favorite season yet #so excited for the episode tmrw #dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high junior year #d20 fhjy #fhjy

yk, while chinese is a nightmare to learn (for me at least) they're also such an interesting language... "来, 小姐!" hits a lot different than "miss, your order's ready!" but i can't really explain why hahahah

#rin rambles #why did they use the 姐 hanzi? is there a 小妹 too? perhaps used for younger looking females?? it's just. so interesting to me hsldjfsd #it's always so interesting to see but also kinda weird bc sometimes i see a hanzi and knows what it says/means in jp but then i have 0 idea #-if it means the same or how it reads/sounds in cn lol #i think. maybe. if i was born in an environment that actually supports leaning chinese i might have taken to it a little more. #but at this point i just can't with memorization as an adult #and as a younger person having to learn it in school but unable to use it anywhere just makes it feel like i have to learn it just for the- #-sake of grades so i hated it at that time. there were lots of other subjects that was more 'important' so it felt even more meaningless- #-that time bc even if i somehow managed to learn it. it's not like i'll be able to use it anywhere ;;;; #still..... it is tempting.... to just learn for the sake of learning. and it is usable for my current situation.... maybe. mayhaps.

Tbh... I don't think TOH should get a pass for it's shoddy plot just because some of the stuff that happens within the plot invokes an emotional response in people.

First of all, people react to concepts with varying degrees of emotional intensity based on what they like and/or their life experiences. Secondly, you can still create resonate moments with a good plot lmao.

There is no reason TOH should get a pass for making Belos a non threat for most of Season 1 just because people think x, y, z moment is wholesome or whatever.

#toh critical #i really hate this weird trend where people think story structure should be disregarded just because they happened to like an idea #and i guess there is an argument to be had that we shouldn't care about story structure because most people aren't even #aware of it when they start reading or watching something. Like they left everything they learned in literature class after they #graduated high school or college. #but it's like... then why do ppl go online to read negative analyses of their favorite piece of literature or media lmao #because people who write analyses care about story structure and it's important to them. so. #oh right and you know. just because most people aren't aware of story structure doesn't mean you shouldn't write a good story #that's like saying ''well since people don't care about music theory that means I can make a song without using music theory'' like??? #very bizarre tbh

Serious chaos one-shot snippet

“Hey, Dami?”

Boy hadn’t looked up from kittens he was bottle feeding but let out hum indicating he listened.

“I think about trying out more girlish style. Do you think it would suit me?”

Well, Damian had no idea but if Dani wished to give it a chance, then, well, the only appropriate course of action was to offer his aid.

Also features: Dani and Damian working at an animal shelter, Steph being fashionable, and Batman's rouge gallery and no, it's not a spelling mistake :)

Y’all ever think if Gregory was never possessed and heard the childish names Tony called him he would laugh at the names or just side eye Tony for the name, bc wtf is “story destroyer”…

I think if Gregory wasnt possessed he and tony would have some serious beef😭

#like tony is very flawed and self centered and gregory would hate that and hate that hes mean to ellis #me might feel flattered that tony would think so highly of him but if it came to the cost of ellis' friendship he would get mad #he wouldnt be the mature one and try to fix things and talk to tony nope he'd just stick around ellis #but i think if tony spent time alone if ellis and greg ditched him and he learned better and apologized to them #gregory and 100% ellis would give him a second chance l #the middle school drama potential with them is so funny #and tony 'more mature than others my age' becker would use the most childish one off shitty names to call gregory #pandas.txt #pandas asks #gregory #tony #detective rabbit #this why i onlg like beckory post ggy #thoughts

#pressure test is always gonna be one of my fav thiam episodes cuz like #theo is being so protective but trying to hide it behind pissing liam off at the same time hes trying to be a realist to his idealist #and convince him to take care of himself first before other people 😭 #me when i swear not to save my enemy but decide id rather face death for him multiple times than see him hurt by anyone including himself #IDIOT #theo positioning himself between monroe and liam when they leave the station . that marking the beginning of the 6b streak + #where they keep getting paired off together and learn how to work as a team #they were def attached at the hip the entire time the pack was in hiding the same way scalia and morey were #like… leaving the station. at the zoo. driving back to town together. theo following him to the school. waiting under that night to tell + #scott about what they found. and then they were both grumpy about getting split up during genotype like they havent been living in each + #others pockets for who knows how long atp …. they are so . #jeff davis you will pay for not showing me all of the bonding that happened during this time.

sorry this is random as fuck but. does any1 have any advice (or reading recs) for drawing with less expectations/pressure on yourself? like. advice on how to just enjoying the act of making art vs. drawing with the final product in mind?? how do i enjoy art again.

#i haven’t drawn in a month maybe two #i just get so Scared (for lack of a better word) over something i should Enjoy #i have been talking to my therapist about this and it helps for suresies but i feel i need insight from ppl who have Been Thru This #being an artist is such an integral part of my identity and i hate that i’ve put all of these expectations onto myself cause of it ): #i don’t know how to love making art if the art isn’t a perfect finished piece. #i know people always say ‘make bad art!!!!!’ but i don’t know how to learn to enjoy making bad art? #and i can’t slog through smth i don’t enjoy at least a little (adhd) #and i just. i want to love making art again. #like when i was in elementary and middle school just drawing in a lined notebook no expectations just drawin pokemon and animals #idk. i’m not that upset i just needed to get these thoughts out before i go to work #‘i’m not that upset’ (<<< he is lying)
