me, finishing s5 with everything being generally okay for the dragang and aaravos still in his prison, and violently flashing back to every time i’ve explained to one of my students that if the heroes in in the 2nd arc, you are unilaterally reading a Tragedy:

things i’ve heard english majors say pt. 16
-I need to print out my plot outlines single-sided because flipping them is driving me nuts, why can’t I shut the fuck up and write anything less than 42 chapters plus a 9 character pov epilogue
-I don’t think I could ever be drunk enough to write a YA novel
-I can’t ghost him, a character based on him is half of the story that I’m writing
-me having to check if I’ve already used to word “immortally” in every nonfiction essay I’ve ever written
-“it’s living too much outside the poem” just say its too vague or too ambiguous, you slut
-mmm, the “always” kind of love. Tasty.
-his father used to hit him and his favorite authors are all 19th century Russian men–of course he’s not a virgin
-nothing like bad movies that make me want to write
-my face would look a lot more panicked if I was doing math right now
-discussing serif typeface until i start internally bleeding
-oh she said enjambment, she said utilizing white space
-oh it ends with a period. That's a choice.
-nothing more confusing than walking onto the bus on Thirsty Thursday while listening to the Downton Abbey theme
-if anyone in the communications building sees me half bent over, clutching my head with both hands and slightly shaking, no you didn’t and this is actually pretty normal behavior
-it was “best friend’s younger brother” but now it’s “my best friend’s younger bitchass playboy cousin who left me on delivered for 8 days and who I met exactly once and now I’m living near him because we hate the country we come from.” It’s called diversity.
-I’m writing my poli sci essay
Sick, I’m writing the epilogue for book 3 when I haven’t finished book 1 or properly plotted book 2
-literally no inconvenience is too small for me to lose my mind over
-I don’t want to change the world, that sounds like a lot of work. But if I write something that inspires someone with a lot more initiative to change the world for me, that would be real great

Would Midnight be patient with my fellow discalculia girlies... I love her but am So So Pathologically Bad at math
Midnight teaches advanced algebra to cats, you'll be fine. She'll conjure up a fractal for you, color each part of the equation, show how each part interacts and what it looks like when you change it
She'll take you out to the beach and explain the wind and the tide, compare them to each axis on the formula she showed you, and modify one factor. The wind dies down and the sea becomes as smooth as glass.
"Smoothness for the-waves you-see?" She waits for you to nod, never rushing you along, even the most casual questions are genuine, "Excellent! For this is example of maths I-teach. Nature it-will-happen. Simpleness it-being. You-will-understand."
