Too Hard

Woop part 2 of the trip inside Jamil's head. Part 1 here.

The next time Jamil caught sight of you on campus, his first instinct was to turn around on his heel.

What a stupid thought to have because of you.

Besides, that would only make him more conspicuous, not less.

So, when your eyes met his, Jamil gave you a short nod in greeting. He would’ve left it at that and kept on his way, had you not walked up to him.

“Hi Jamil! How’s it going?” you said with that impossibly disarming smile of yours.

Why was it so difficult to look at you like he normally would? You had no right to make him feel so stiff, so unnatural.

On autopilot, Jamil exchanged a few pleasantries with you - those lessons from his parents had been instilled too deep in him for him to falter too badly in a simple exchange such as this. Still, Jamil quickly excused himself by telling you he still had to find Kalim before his next class.

Jamil didn’t miss the way your smile faltered. Had you hoped to get something out of him?

“Oh, okay. I’ll see you two later, then.”

Something about that irked him, though Jamil did not allow himself to dwell on it further.

His heart really had no business still racing as it did when he walked away, unaware of the frown on his face.

Just act normal. That’s all he needed to do.

After all, he had no time for dwelling in silly fancies.

If Jamil had been acutely aware of you before, it only seemed to worsen now that he was making a conscious effort to not act any differently with you. In fact, the harder he tried to keep you out, the more you invaded his thoughts, unsettling him.

The most innocuous words from you looped in his mind, and even the simplest actions caught his eye. For goodness's sake, he’d found himself staring at you while you were queueing up in the cafeteria the other day, not even doing anything other than standing around and looking bored!

For once, Jamil found himself grateful for all his duties. At least they provided him with something else to occupy himself with.

After all, if he was busy enough, it was difficult to think about those bright eyes of yours, your sweet laugh, or the way you bit your lip while thinking.

Still, sometimes it felt like no matter which way he turned, you were there, ready to throw him off-kilter. Not like it was his fault that often the most convenient route to class intersected with your daily routines. Or that your face seemed to jump out from any crowd, catching his attention.

Which certainly did not help his basketball performance. Jamil certainly did not recall you having such an interest in sports before, yet suddenly you were always there, distracting him. What had changed?

Could you possibly-

Jamil scoffed to himself, forcing his thoughts back on track for the nth time that day.

He picked up the tray of food and started taking it to Kalim. After dinner, he’d need to help Kalim with his homework, there were some housewarden tasks that would need dealing with, not to mention the preparations for the next-

Jamil froze in his tracks.

The voice he heard was quiet, but it was unmistakably you.

Really, it should not have come as such a surprise to him. You had become a rather frequent visitor to Scarabia, and Kalim often invited you to stay for meals. In fact, Jamil had started planning the dorm’s meal prep with your tastes and dietary restrictions in mind, just in case.

Jamil rounded the corner with strange exhilaration, his heart fluttering needlessly.

Yet, his mood evaporated when he saw you.

Why did you stop talking and look so guilty as soon as you caught sight of Jamil?

Jamil knew that look you gave to Kalim, had used it himself a thousand times. The one telling Kalim to keep quiet about something.

What could there possibly be that you would be comfortable sharing with Kalim, but not with him? That would give Kalim reason to sit so close to you, a comforting hand on your shoulder?

Jamil's mind raced with possibilities, yet could not settle for any single explanation.

He’d have to ask Kalim about it later.

Jamil gave you a short, polite greeting, his eyes lingering on you in an attempt to read what you were hiding.

“If I’d known you were coming over, I would’ve prepared something for you to eat as well,” Jamil said, already thinking about which parts of the dorm’s dinner to spruce up for you.

“Oh, no need, just figured I’d pop by. I’ll get out of your hair soon enough,” you said, something sheepish about your expression.

As expected, Kalim asked you to stay and dine with them, and with just a bit more persuasion you agreed - though not before telling Jamil that he should join you too and have himself a breather.

And since Kalim agreed with you, Jamil soon found himself sharing a meal with you and Kalim. Yet, even as he sat down with the food, his mind raced.

Had you been getting particularly close to Kalim lately? But surely Jamil would’ve noticed such a thing. Maybe someone from the dorm had been giving you trouble? But if that was the case, then surely you could let Jamil know about it, too. Unless for some reason you did not want to? But if it was something that concerned Kalim, then sooner or later it was bound to concern Jamil, too.

All the while, Kalim was talking to you about this and that, the latest topic being the animals kept on the Asim estate.

“I’ve got some pictures, let me show you!” Kalim said with an excited grin.

Only, a thorough patting of his pockets and a look around confirmed that Kalim’s phone was nowhere to be seen.

Jamil pinched the bridge of his nose. Where had Kalim left it this time?

Before Jamil even had the chance to say that he would handle it, Kalim sprinted off. Jamil hesitated for a moment, automatically halfway up from his seat, before he decided that leaving a guest unattended would be a worse offense than not helping out his master.

Jamil slumped back down with a sigh, mentally tracing the path Kalim took today, trying to recall the last time he saw Kalim handle his phone.

“Breathe. He’ll manage,” you said. There was the faintest of smiles on your lips, and Jamil could not decide if it was knowing or amused. Perhaps both.

Somehow, despite his frustration, Jamil’s own lips wanted to curl up too.

“Hmm. Maybe he will.”

Sure, Jamil could’ve called Kalim’s phone, to make it easier to find, but it was not that urgent, was it?

Jamil took another bite of his food, keeping an eye on you from the corner of his eye.

How was his mind so empty and so buzzing at the same time?

“You know-”

“So-”

You looked at each other, both just as surprised that the other had spoken up at the same time.

Even your surprised look was so-

“You first,” Jamil said. The way you bit your lip... Jamil had to raise a cup to his lips, slowly sipping his drink.

“Just… Feels like it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you be still, you know. Or exchanged more than two words with you,” you said. You were attempting a light, joking tone, yet it was quite clear there was more to it.

“You say that like it would be unusual for me to be busy.”

He was not prepared for the way your soft sigh tugged at his heartstrings.

“No. It is not.”

You were both quiet after, poking at your meals. Normally, Jamil would’ve cherished such a moment of peace, yet this particular silence between you two was decidedly awkward.

Where was your usual chatter? Why weren’t you looking at him like you usually did?

“If you’re worried about me, don’t. I’m fine,” Jamil said, some softness creeping into his tone despite his best intentions.

“That's what Kalim said too,” you said. Yet the way you looked at Jamil made it clear you were still skeptical.

Wait.

Had you clammed up earlier because it had been Jamil you had been talking about with Kalim? That Kalim had comforted you about?

The thought twisted his stomach into knots.

Hasdhfsdf the way I fought with that last scene I swear. I don't even want to know how many versions I went through, trying to figure out how to say what I wanted without rubbing it into your face or making it too veiled. The joys of trying to convey things through a limited pov. Hopefully it came out reasonably balanced in the end. Rip to all those sentences that were lovely on their own but didn’t work for the whole. Hopefully I can rehome y’all one day. I do have thoughts for part 3 and part x (might be some chapters between those two as well, who knows at this point), so maybe we'll see those at some point, too. Tag list: @colliope @crystallizsch @diodellet @jamilsimpno69 @jamilvapologist @twstgo If you'd like to be tagged for future works, let me know! (Just be aware that sometimes I do also write nsfw, though you can certainly ask to be tagged only for particular kinds of works.)

#twisted wonderland #jamil viper #twisted wonderland x reader #jamil viper x reader #ner writes #jamil definitely knows how to deal with his feels #also writing this is making me wonder how aware jamil is of his inner versus outer life #like he’s very aware of how he comes across because that’s what he’s been told to watch out for #but how well has he truly learned to understand himself and his own feelings wants etc?#(I mean as you can tell I’m assuming not very well)#originally this went to more of a “jamil hears just the wrong part of the conversation” route but #a) I kinda hate that trope especially when it’s dragged on beyond belief and #b) Kalim maybe doesn’t want to spill anyone’s secrets but he really is such an open book especially with Jamil so #also it’s not like jamil needs the extra help to catastrophize he already does that well enough on his own 🙃#tho then I went a little too far in the other direction and had to pull back #but let's just hope I didn't edit this to death by now #also also: since I seem to have a bit of a naming theme going on for this series #if I were to be the sort to go for the angst route what part would definitely be titled Too Late or something along those lines #also x3 but loved folks commenting on that part about reader being inoffensive in the first part #I certainly had fun writing that line #(and in general extra love to everyone who leaves comments on tags replies wherever always great to read those)#(and in general chat with y'all)

Yeah! Danganronpa Amane! Looking at the DR wiki all the Lil Ultimate titles all seem to correspond to a class subject (Lil Ultimate Homeroom, Social Studies etc.), so I made her the Lil Ultimate Faith studies.

I'm picturing her as the blackened of a case. I think she'll really kill (heh) at that role. Especially since my favorite Amane moments are when snaps (like when she attacked Es with scissors).

I also made a pointing sprite for Mikoto.

I used the cult's symbol from Magic and the balloon in Purge March for her school symbol. Here's the symbols (you can use it if you want)

#milgram #mikoto kayano #milgram fanart #amane momose #iris draws #danganronpa au #I think the more common name of this class would be religious studies (I've never been to a religious school)#but faith sounded better in my head #i should draw amane more she's like my 3rd favorite #2nd is muu and first is mikoto if you're wondering #she's killing shidou btw #does mikoto's pointing sprite look too similar to kaede's?#im not sure #i did use her fist as a reference (im bad with hands)#Also i saw a recording of the hallucination live event's purge march and i love how angry she sounds at the end #amane's rage is truly what made me become an amane fan

what if purple never calls him dad

#what if the word ‘dad’ is something purple doesn’t like.#what if it carries a bad connotation for them and a bitter reminder for mango.#family doesnt always have to look like one thing yknow? i dont think those two would have a traditional dynamic in that way #maybe purple does consider him their parent. they just dont call him ‘dad’ unless its in third person #and theyre fine with that and so is he #king is his father figure yes but he’s also a mom. a big brother. a sister. their dynamic just isnt captured in purple calling him ‘dad’#maybe his name is the best way they can say it. the best way they can appreciate him #because for purple a father is someone who hurts you. someone who leaves you #i think ‘purple calls him dad on accident’ is a cute idea #but honestly it would make more sense if they called him mom on accident instead. or if it happened when they were afraid. not comfortable #(this is presuming orchid is his mother and navy his father based on the pronouns used in the react vids iirc)#because why would purple refer to someone he sees as a parent with the title of the one that presumably did not raise them?#and on mangos end #i think u can kinda tell who in this fandom has never lost a loved one in how they characterize him #guys. grief doesnt leave. it never leaves.#you just learn to live with it!!!#mango is not okay just because he has a new kid to take care of. i would know this my bio mom passed and i have a stepmother!!!#she does not fill that void and i do not expect her to because it cannot be filled. but she brings a lot new to ease the pain and is a #wonderful part of my life #the same thing here #mango will never ever just .. go back to how he was #he will never be the same since gold died. and thats okay #purple will not change that. they will merely add something new #their dynamic can be beautiful and nontraditional and a showing of how grief can change you #it doesnt have to be ‘replacement dad and replacement son’#its so much more #oke. tag rant over #fett rambles #ava #uhh should i tag the chars

So confirmed now that Thom will be back next season. Interested to see how he'll be reintroduced (will he just randomly show up in Falme?) and which storyline he will be in. While the main characters are all, more or less, following the same path as their book counterparts, the secondary characters are getting shuffled around a bit. Loial basically got Min's role in Falme while Min took Thom's place as Mat's travelling companion. You could feasibly fit Thom into any of the book four storylines, he isn't really all that essential to Elayne and Nynaeve's. To be perfectly blunt, Thom isn't really essential to any storyline, he's pretty much just guy who tags along offering advice.

#wheel of time #wot on prime #wot spoilers #wot book spoilers #thom merrilin #since there's been no mention so far of moiraine's brother #and galad having the last name trakand in the casting #i wonder if the show plans to go all in on thom maybe being elayne's dad #give that plot a bit more substance for both characters #and hopefully avoid all those awkward moments in the book of elayne flirting with him #i can see him maybe doing what he did at the start of tsr and help rand out with playing politics #and even journey into the waste with everyone else #but that party already feels rather crowded #and it would just take screentime away from moiraine #you could also fit him into the tower coup #have him help siuan and the others escape and travel to the rebel camp #which then sends him off into the bowl plot with everyone else

The Art of Dreams: Reflections and Representations

The Tomb of Caterina della Ratta and the Iconography of the Reclining Reader in Renaissance Sepulcharl Art, Yonni Ascher

Ancestor Masks and Aristocratic Power in Roman Culture, Harriet I Flower

okay so just. play connect the dots with me for a second. Girolamo Basso della Rovere is Giuliano della Rovere's (Pope Julius II) cousin. Ascanio Sforza was a long time rival, and later ex-enemy of Giiuliano's. this kind of familial mirroring in the tombs, the way that Ascanio is being subsumed into a matching visual with someone of della Rovere's family is. interesting. because it goes well beyond the expected patron-client relationship between the pope and his cardinals. like, these were companion monuments.

there's also a kind of tragic romantic violence to it, given Ascanio's persistent loyalty to his family and Milan, and Ludovico's plans to have Ascanio's body brought back to Milan in the event of his death and interred in the same chapel as Beatrice d'Este.

#i want to break into the vatican with a seance board and summon della rovere's ghost to ask him if he fucked that vice chancellor #ANYWAY it's probably a good thing i didn't go to a real college and pursue like. renaissance studies or something #can you imagine how insufferable i would be fighting it out. thankfully i just draw comics and i can say things like #i DO think he fucked that vice chancellor. actually.#that said. someday im going to get my hands on a couple of documents and actually start swinging #because i do think that several scholars got something seriously wrong in their assumptions and im about 80% confident in my stance #but im not going to throw rocks at anything until. i can read. the full letters. with my eyeballs.#moving past that im just. oughhhhhhhhhh. the inscriptions too. part of me thinks that della rovere was pulling some julius caesar #bullshit with it. another part of me wonders if della rovere wanted their reconciliation to outlast both of them so he had it immortalized #on ascanio's monument. RIP buddy. that is absolutely not what happened #GOD THIS IS PLAYING 5D chess. julius II named himself after caesar not the previous pope julius #octavian is JC's heir. ascanio does have agrippa parallels but also specifically his name calls to rome's founding. there's a lot! to unpac #or. uh. there could be! s4 borgias should've had della rovere seduce him away from rodrigo

rotating noelle around in my brain. i need the dess raises kris au to be real RIGHT NOW.

please talk to me about the dess raises kris au i think im gonna explode. also start writing it this summer maybe :3333

#chatter #drkau #posts that need context. basically despite being called 'dess raises kris' neither dess nor kris show up for the first arc of the story lol #it would cover dark worlds 1 + 2 + 3 which i would make up #and its about noelle susie and ralsei being the three closing dark worlds and becoming besties #BUT ALSO so ive always worried id never be as excited about noelle as kris #n thus do her poorly when shes literally like one of the main protagonists #BUT NO. IM GOOD NOW. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IM GONNA DO WITH HER #what do you do when your entire family has been defined by a grief you dont feel. by the death of a sister and friend you dont remember #what do you do when their grief shapes the form of your life and you keep bucking against it #because now youre the baby of the family and everything is On You #and you finally FINALLY find somewhere where you can maybe be someone #only to find out that that world never wanted you either. that world wasnt ever supposed to exist for you #what the fuck are you supposed to do #ANYWAYS NOELLE HOLIDAY-DREEMURR....NOELLE HOLIDAY-DREEMURR I LOVE YOU.....#(ps yes she gets a hyphenated name i wonder what might lead to this....)#(pps no i dont know what kris's last name is in this au skull emoji #chara would take dess's when they get married but dess wouldnt keep holiday (or let kris keep dreemurr)#cause she did. technically. kidnap them oops)#ANYWAYS IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS AU LITERALLY SHAKING IT AROUND LIKE A DOG WITH A CHEW TOY

Part 2 of the Kirby OC-ification: the Magolor!

I've drawn her before a few times but this is supposed to work as a ref of sorts.

#kirby oc #oc #ocs #my art #tarantula #character design #also the way i draw teeth is now very specific. like for magolor i would draw em like this #however. i now decided this is just a very stylised way for tarantula chalicerae/bug mandibles in general possibly #i didnt intend to have two spider cats but my excuse is the kirby character is not actually a spider cat #theyre a shape shifter #and i have no name for any of them yet #im trying to get a feeling for them/getting myself to make up stories with them #which so far ive done by just putting them into kirby to see what dynamics i like #in case youre wondering why im tagging this as kirby oc. i see them as both their own thing but also something i can put into that world

I'm honestly shocked that since Emotion/Representation aired I've yet to see anyone do anything at all with Felix and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein??? I think about it every day it's literally THE Felix piece of media. It's his entire character thesis. What are we doing guys

I KNOW I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY

To be fair I have seen a few people headcanoning it as one of Felix’s favourite books (Which yes. Absolutely. 1,000,000%) but there hasn’t been any fics/art/edits/etc. about it yet to my knowledge. My copy is at my parents’ and in French but I am tempted to find an English PDF since it’s been public domain for a good while now. The web weave potential is insane.

I have many thoughts about Felix and literature in general… I have him quote Cyrano de Bergerac all the time in my fics, for example. I was thinking of starting a list of works of art and literature he’d enjoy, so I’ll take this as a sign to get writing! I can get my fandom friends to make some suggestions as well! 📝

Edit: @bittersweetresilience got us covered, our honour is safe 💜🦚

#For now I really need to go to bed but here’s an overview:#Frankenstein and Cyrano of course #The portrait of Dorian Gray for Emilie #Ovid’s Metamorphoses (my sister and I actually wrote a fic about it!)#L’Albatros by Charles Baudelaire (see: web weave)#Psychopompe by Amélie Nothomb (see: other web weave)#J’aime l’araignée et j’aime l’ortie by Victor Hugo #She walks in beauty by Byron for Kagami #East of Eden (I’ve yet to read it but the movie is one of my favourites to this day)#Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux #The Odyssey and EPIC #All of Magritte’s art but especially La Grande Famille & L’Empire des Lumières & La Trahison des Images #Stuart Semple’s entire vibe #I wonder what he’d think of Bauhaus art actually. The entire philosophy would create conflicting feelings I’m sure #Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns #Bach��s Toccata and Fugue in D minor #He’d also prefer Salieri to Mozart while also detailing how Salieri actually made a name for himself every time the topic comes up #OH and he has the biggest crush on Milady de Winter #And Zagreus from Hades #miraculous ladybug #felix graham de vanily #tumblr asks

The actor Junius Brutus Booth in costume as Edmund Mortimer in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1 (1823), painted by John B. Neagle

#shakespeare #the henriad #art #this was john wilkes booth's father.................. so for that reason i will not be tagging the actor by name lol #idk WHAT kind of weirdos i would invite to my blog by doing that but for historical transparency i did cite the actor #listen. i. he died in 1852 i bet he sucked as a person but he didn't assassinate anybody okay #the portrait is bitchin and i found it while looking up #henry iv part 1 #i henry iv #william shakespeare #edmund mortimer #john b. neagle #i wish there were more resources to learn about the lady mortimer #i also wish she had more actual dialogue in the play i find her so interesting #i wonder what elizabethan performances were like of her!!! bc all of her dialogue is just [speaks in welsh] or [sings in welsh]#it makes it so hard to imagine her as a reader. normally i like the abstract exercise of envisioning plays in my head but #wo her own words it's so much less of an approachable challenge #i don't even speak welsh too #and i wonder what the history of her being represented on stage is like #did they normally have an actual welsh actor/actress play her? i sort of DOUBT it was originally like that in the 1590s #but im sure if it's a high-budget production done today it's only natural to seek out a welsh-speaking actress and have her collaborate #w her own dialogue? right?#it's so surreal too bc shakespeare's works almost never acknowledge differences in language #it rarely has much to do w the plot #the only other passing reference i can think of off the top of my head is 'twas greek to me' and that was offstage someone spoke greek #in julius caesar #idk!!!! man!!!!! i just find it interesting #most of shakespeare's characters wouldn't have even natively spoken english so it's just never mentioned #but in the history plays. well of course they spoke english they were englishmen! except those celtic ppls #who always come up as just. iconic charismatic bastards and rebels. it's a very prejudicial interpretation but i have fun w it

are we debating beard vs nobeard and stede’s preferences because if so I’m throwing my hat into the ring /lh

I personally think Stede’s reaction had nothing to do with physical preferences, and everything to do with the horror of seeing Blackbeard destroyed. Stede already couldn’t process Ed signing his life away, and that was more of a figurative destruction. But the beard being shaved was a physical representation of that destruction, Blackbeard’s very essence stripped away right in front of him.

I think it just really hammered in how much Ed had given up, because he completely destroyed his very namesake. At that moment, it really sunk in that Blackbeard had been taken down.

And mind you, Stede was unable to process that Ed was willingly doing all of this, that Ed was doing it because he loved him. It wasn’t sinking in whatsoever, so it was making him feel extremely guilty. He loves Ed, but also adores Blackbeard. He looks up to him, idolizes him as a fiercesome pirate and brilliant sailor. So to see that literally break beneath his hands likely kicked up all the “I ruin everything” feelings. Like, “I ruin so much that I managed to get my love/idol into this.”

Along those lines, he says “But your black beard! You can’t be Blackbeard without your black beard.” So to me, that definitely comes across as him being worried more for Ed’s image than any sort of physicality. Especially considering how he tries to nudge Ed towards a plan/fuckery afterwards, and gets even more devastated when Ed seems to accept their fate.

Stede is a man haunted by guilt and self-depreciation, and I think he runs because he blames himself for the entire thing. He blames himself for defiling yet another beautiful thing. He “brought history’s greatest pirate to ruin.”

#OFMD #Edward Teach #Stede Bonnet #Gentlebeard #Blackbonnet #Revenge Rambles #AND DONT GET IT TWISTED #This isnt intended to attack anyone for thinking otherwise #I just wanted to share my thoughts as well since I’ve seen a lot of folks discussing it #ALSO #Come to think of it #It makes me wonder if Ed would even want to KEEP his beard #BECAUSE like…#It is something that he’s been used to having #But if he retires and drops his persona #I wonder if he would want to shed it because of all the implications and history #Sheds both the name and the representation #And if Stede is actually fully AWARE that that’s what he wants #Then I don’t think he’d have a problem #I think a lot of the issues stem from him being guilt ridden #ALSO IF THIS ALL IS A JOKE DISCUSSION AND IM GETTING WAY TOO DEEP IM SORRY WJDJWJ #I JUST LOVE TALKING SYMBOLISM/CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS #Also for the record I adore Ed with a beard and without #SO WHERE DOES THAT PUT ME AKDJWJ #team both beard idk

The colors of the copper on blackberry dye seem to have shifted from maroon to a very rich milk chocolate brown--which I will hardly complain about, since that's a hard brown to get. I do hope I get something more permanently reddish/purplish with alum--that's what I'll try next. I'm just waiting for the 9 pounds of raw fleece to arrive.

Last night I carded a lot of that blackberry dyed fleece and then put it on the blending board with about half of the white (which was the previous distaff dressing) as a little stripe to one side. Idk, just curious how it'll turn out and seemed more interesting to spin that way. Carding first definitely helps with consistency--both colors were willowed first and put on the blending board, but only the brown was carded as well, and it is much easier to keep smooth and least kind of even.

The one improvement of this phone camera over my old one is that it has a timer setting, so I can actually show where my hands normally are (sometimes anyway). Fairly comfortable although my distaff hand is starting to cramp. Might just be one of those days or might be too heavy for me, but the shape at least is good.

You can probably see that the white is still all over the place, but the brown is pretty even, just with lumps still on occasion. Also, the new height of this spindle means it's perfect for lap spinning rather than impossible to lap spin with, so I'm very happy about that.

#spinning #handspun yarn #distaff #supported spindle #id tag the breed name normally but i dont know what this stuff is (its some of the more aged wool i have in my stash lol)#natural dyeing #blackberry #if you are wondering what is up with the banners its an attempt at anti-radfeming my posts #since they insist on reblogging them and blocking seems to do nothing #hopefully they will be effective bc i love them and my fiance sent them to me ❤️#if not tho we'll phase into tasteful cock drawings #and if that doesnt work just straight up dick pics #its my blog and i love cock so thats not a problem for me and would actually probably improve morale #not jumping straight to it because im gonna assume most of the people who enjoy my fiber arts posts dont necessarily also want dicks #on their blog #but me not having to see radfem trash reblogging my experiments and research obviously takes priority #i use those terms loosely but hey i am writing it down. and trying to get answers to questions. so im pretty sure technically i am #conducting experiments and research at least on occasion #and now i have to go back to work. if anyone wants to mercy kill me on the way out the door id really appreciate it
