DW: no, I mean it. A cat.

DW: aand I don't think you understood me. He will literally be a fricking CHEETAH! Yellow eyes, fangs and all.

M: yep, as I was saying- WAIT A SECOND, W H A T ???

ok so i'm supposed to go to the US with my uni this summer and we're going to indiana bc this is like a collaboration with indiana state university, but we're also going to new york. and we were talking about what to visit, all the touristy things, looking into tourist passes etc. and this girl in my year is like oh i saw this instagram post about a helicopter ride above new york and they have like a special offer so it's much cheaper like i'm sorry but what the hell? who do you think i am? who do you think we are? like i'm not giving even a cent for that kind of exhibitionism. even if you take money out of the equation, it's just so fucking stupid. i was planning on sitting on the met steps like blair waldorf or feeding pigeons in central park.

#and just so we're clear she's not some rich spoiled out of touch girl #i was so taken aback

I got grabbed up by the shirt by the pretty woman and thrown up on, and I logged off after that match

I hid after my teammates died and heard her coming but I was looking in front of me and she snuck up on me and got me with her mori

last night at a party i asked someone if they were attracted to women (it was relevant in the convo) and they said no and maybe i was just really high but it shocked me so much i had never considered that they would answer negatively

#i was just like. EVERYONE is attracted to women #i was so taken aback #it rocked my world #agshsgsjdgsjbd #me #personal #queer

My mom was bugging me to create a playlist of all my liked songs cause my taste in music is really good. I said no but she wouldn't let it go. So I put on a super edgy song that I knew she wouldn't like and after a minute she asks, "Are you cutting again?"

LMAO, WHAT?

#I WAS SO TAKEN ABACK #and to answer that question no I haven't #what music even counts as music you'd sh too? #it wasn't even that bad it was we know where you sleep by the paper chase #i swear my music taste is really good but there are a few edgy songs that I like #not podcast related #slut.txt

i just saw someone complain about how difficult it is to watch hannibal durning the day because the scenes are so dark. bitch who tf is watching hannibal when it’s light out. completely ruins the vibe that was your first mistake

#i was so taken aback #either night time or in a dark dark room that is the only acceptable way to watch #nbc hannibal #hannibal #hannibal nbc #mine

love fic writers not tagging noncon (this is sarcasm)

#i was so taken aback #i hate it i purposely filter that tag out for a reason #rambles

my dnd character has very low intelligence and one of the party members has a penchant for gambling, so the in-game canon reason that he joined our party is that my character became wildly indebted to him thru said gambling and he wanted her to pay up. by now he's realized that he's never getting that money back.

anyway he just unprompted lent me 1300 gold for a wand. not sure if mine is the lowest int character in the bunch anymore

#i was so taken aback #fbrbrbfvfhrbfbrjdhfjrdh #i might give him the wand for certain occasions #fellow spellcaster yep yep #ollie rambles #i have -2 int and +5 wis. beloved

Bro called him ‘mon petite fleur’ while holding eye contact and smiling….

I know what you are

#personal #tv #I was so taken aback #like homie #you’re gay #who tf starts a conversation with #what a beautiful name #it reminds me of a flower #and then proceed to call him my little flower?? #the whole time??? #it wasn’t even a romantic setting #they were planning world domination #though to be fair #maybe that is romantic #anyways #get these gay mf off my screen #to ​anyone who can guess what I was watching #I’ll give you kiss kiss #(virtual) #(platonic)

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

#writeblr #i was doing a lot with high school students. over and over again #other teachers kept asking me what i was doing differently - why the kids listened to me. i am not particularly foreboding #and i have a pretty firm personal policy of never reacting in anger #godhelpme. #i was always kind of taken aback #because in general the kids were pretty easy. i explained i needed to keep everything “PG-13” because this was my workplace #and it was kind of their workplace #too. besides #i love swearing #and since i couldn't swear #neither could they - so if they were going to say “fuck” or become violent #they needed to choose a really specific time #because we only get “the one”.. sure enough - nobody wanted to waste the one very specific “fuck” utterance. kids listened. #i think just because - that rule makes sense. the kids understand that i don't want to be unfair to them #that censorship is stupid #but that i'm under these rules too so like let's ride it out together #also i look young and tbh between me and u nobody wants to make the nice english teacher cry #the way these kids defended me to their friends was really genuinely so heartwarming bc the Grouchy Frat Boy #would be like MISS RAQUEL DOESN'T DESERVE THAT KIND OF AN ATTITUDE BRO DON'T TALK BACK TO HER

So I finally watched Puss in Boots 2....

#it was so great???? #like holy shit it caught me so off guard on how good this was #the animation alone was something to marvel at but i was taken aback on how enjoable this film was #i wasn't much of a fan of the first film and didn't pay this one any mind but i got intrigued by the positive reviews #for me it's up there with Shrek 2 on the list I'm not joking #puss in boots: the last wish #puss in boots the last wish spoilers #puss in boots spoilers #puss in boots #puss in boots 2
