something that pisses me off in RA is that Flanagan will occasionally hype up Pauline as this super important and prominent figure in Will’s life, even treat her as a proxy for the mother he never knew, and yet will just refuse to show it beyond the like. two or three (personal) conversations that they have in canon. I get that he was attempting to make her an important person in Will’s life but why not do that by actually making her an important person in Will’s life

#hey Flanagan I hate to tell u but just because she’s married to Will’s father figure does not automatically make her his mom figure #what REALLY annoys me is how easy it would have been for him to connect her & will #like hey. if only there were a pretty clear gap in Will’s education that halt couldn’t fulfill - say for example mmmm diplomacy?#(cause we all know how gifted halt is at conflict resolution)#then he’d have a valid reason to seek out a master of diplomacy for lessons in negotiating compromises & treaties #but no I guess not. Will’s just naturally good at diplomacy despite never really being exposed to it #yk what extra sucks?#if Pauline HAD taught will about treaties & stuff then him receiving the last name treaty wouldve been 1000x more meaningful #it would’ve spoken to her influence on him and solidified her as a sort of parental figure in her own right #AND as an extra extra bonus: if she came to the cabin to teach will about negotiation tactics and such #then we could’ve gotten more halt/Pauline interactions. as in: we could’ve actually seen them being in love ON SCREEN instead of just being #told that they loved each other #will could’ve had a chance to see how much the two of them mean to each other. and then he would’ve had some actual basis for a speech #at their wedding or whatever #but yeah no why do that when we can just imply that will & Pauline got super close off screen? same effect right?????#ranger’s apprentice #pauline dulacy #halt o’carrick #will treaty #I love these books so so much don’t get me wrong. but there are just some things……#anyway.#jackie rambles

the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles.

a halsin fanmix [listen]

#BG3 Musing #BG3 Fanmix #Halsin BG3 #Halsin #Halsin Posting #my fanmix #i give up this is about as done as it will ever be - i've been talking about this enough i need to get it away from me #i could have made at least one or two other playlists with the number of songs i cut from this #there were some things that hurt me to cut but i figured others had them in their playlists so they're out there #(the impossible dream you will always be famous i am so sorry :(()#i had three goals with this 1. make it more of a timeline in that it follows a narrative order (which hopefully is easy enough to follow)#(it makes sense to me about as much as it is ever going to lol)#2. try to avoid using songs that other individuals have used in their playlists (with a handful of exceptions - i highly encourage you also #take a listen to the others around! lots of good stuff and i figured if you were missing it from this one you can find another with it)#(and if i did use one the context might be different #'closer here is being used in a different way than i usually see it - it's putting more emphasis on the 'you can have my isolation' bit use #in context of the matron and patron for example)#and 3. focus as much as possible on non-romance path elements of halsin's character - i.e. again that's a topic that is highly explored #in other fanmixes to great success - this one is about the childhood he references and the adventures and the capture in the underdark #and the shadow curse and the burying of people he loved and the uptaking of the archdruid position and the healing he did #and possibly did not do #and the radicalization he comes into when his goals are met and he's faced with injustices #and the struggle he has of redefining himself and figuring out who he is after all of it #hopefully the 'eras' are clearly defined but hey it's all gravy from here #honestly if there is one song to listen to that encapsulates halsin for me it's tapestry - highly recommend that #anyway i am blabbing - let the lyrics and such talk for themselves jemi please #but if fanmixes aren't your speed have a kinda nice edit i guess #edit: now with bonus song i just had to add after shamefully forgetting it

While I’m at it, in 2015, I also made a video compiling the different endings of BioShock 2, and I’ve decided to finally upload it!

youtube

So there are 8 endings in total. I call them:

1.1 – A

2.1 – A

1.2 – B.1

1.2 – B.2

2.2 – B.1

2.2 – B.2

1.2 – C

2.2 – C

I also made two visual representations, a table and a diagram, of how to get them:

The text version of this and what Eleanor says in each ending is under the cut :)

Part 1

1.1: Eleanor forgives and saves Sofia Lamb.

Condition: Delta rescues all the Little Sisters; Delta spares at least one person among Grace Holloway, Stanley Poole, and Gilbert Alexander.

"And then, Father, the Rapture dream was over. You taught me that evil is just a word. Under the skin, it’s simple pain. For you, mercy was victory. You sacrificed, you endured, and when given the chance, you forgave. Always. Mother believed this world was irredeemable, but she was wrong, Father. We are Utopia, you and I, and in forgiving, we left the door open for her."

1.2: Eleanor hates but saves Sofia Lamb.

Condition: Delta harvests at least one Little Sister; Delta spares Grace Holloway, Stanley Poole, and Gilbert Alexander.

"And then, Father, the Rapture dream was over. You taught me that right and wrong are tidal forces, ever-shifting. To survive in Rapture, Father, you took what you needed from the innocent. But, when the guilty posed no further threat, you simply walked away. I wanted Mother dead. But, broken as she was, how could she hurt me? Now, she will grow old and die, knowing that I rejected her."

2.1: Eleanor loves but drowns Sofia Lamb.

Condition: Delta rescues all the Little Sisters; Delta kills Grace Holloway, Stanley Poole, and Gilbert Alexander.

"You taught me that justice is a contract: once broken, it can never be mended. You sacrificed so much to preserve the innocent. But, to the guilty, you offered no mercy. I loved my mother, and I never wanted to hurt her. But with what she did to us, she gave up the right to exist. My hands were shaking when I did it… But you were there to steady them."

2.2: Eleanor hates and drowns Sofia Lamb.

Condition: Delta harvests at least one Little Sister; Delta kills at least one person among Grace Holloway, Stanley Poole, and Gilbert Alexander.

"And then, Father, the Rapture dream was over. You taught me that innocence is chrysalis, a phase designed to end. Only when we are free from it do we know ourselves. You showed me that my survival, my joy, are all that matter. I indulge, nothing else exists."

Part 2

A: Eleanor is at peace and hopeful. Delta dies but willingly lives on in Eleanor.

Condition: Delta rescues all the Little Sisters.

"The Rapture dream is over. But in waking, I am reborn. This world isn’t ready for me, yet here I am. It would be so easy to misjudge them. You are my conscience, Father, and I need you to guide me. You will always be with me now, Father: your memories, your drives… And when I need you, you’ll be there on my shoulder, whispering. If Utopia is not a place, but a people, then we must choose carefully, for the world is about to change. And in our story, Rapture was just the beginning."

B: Eleanor is in doubt...

Condition: Delta rescues at least one and harvests at least one Little Sister.

"You made a monster of me, Father, but I wondered why you saved the others. You left me in doubt. Didn’t you want me to be like you? I knew I could save you, but if you felt regret, if you wanted me to choose for myself, I would have to let you go. To let you die."

Delta chooses to sacrifice himself and not live on in Eleanor. Eleanor is alone and unsure about her future. "The Rapture dream is over. And in waking, I am alone. Mother, I left behind, and you chose to die rather than to have me follow you. But you gave me the greatest gift of all, something I have never had: my freedom. There is no name for what I am, but the world is about to change. I thought we would seize it together. Yet, as I sat there with you, I wondered if even I could be redeemed. Your sacrifice gave me hope. But, Father, wherever you are… I miss you."

Delta chooses to save himself and live on in Eleanor. Eleanor is evil. "You may not have wanted me, Father, but you defined me. You chose to survive, no matter the cost, and I will not let your instincts go to waste. The Rapture dream is over. And in waking, I am reborn. You’ll always be with me, Father: your memories, your drives... When I need you, you’ll be there, whispering from my shoulder. There is no name for what I am, but the world is about to change, and with your help, they’ll never see me coming."

C: Eleanor is a monster. Delta dies but unwillingly lives on in Eleanor.

Condition: Delta harvests all the Little Sisters.

"The Rapture dream is over, and in waking, I am reborn. You may not have wanted me, Father, but you defined me. You chose to survive, no matter the cost, and I will not let your instincts go to waste. You’ll always be with me, Father: your memories, your drives... When I need you, you’ll be there, whispering from my shoulder. There is no name for what I am, but the world is about to change, and with your help, they’ll never see me coming."

you know that story where the guy measured out just enough bungee cord so that when he jumped he would get within inches of the ground before coming back up

But he didn't account for the fact that the cord would like, stretch

And I don't remember if the guy actually jumped and went splat or if someone checked his numbers first

But I am currently learning a very similar moral at a much lower level of peril with this fuckin scarf why is yarn so heavy and stretchy and big and why can't it behave exactly like the storebought tiny knit machine made one I based my measurements on

#Pire.txt #Knitting #I would have just casted off awhile ago but unfortunately I built in a Midpoint and it has to be Symetrical #You understand #I've got like 15 more rows before I can cast off and then I might post a progress pic before I weave all the many many ends in #Stripes of color are going to be bigger in future projects #Like 20 rows minimum #Why did I decide to build in so many stopping points to leave me open to distractions #Like 'Hey I just thought of an analogy tumblr might like to hear'#And such #No significance to that being used as an example

It’s important to understand that, at the heart of the matter, pro-ship equals anti-harassment.

Yes, pro-ship can mean different things to different people. No label is a monolith. Some pro-shippers have underage/incest/Dead Dove/etc ships and some have zero. Being pro-ship doesn’t automatically equate to being okay with that kind of content, but sure, some are. What’s important is: “I’m pro-ship” doesn’t directly translate to, “I have controversial ships,” but rather, “I don’t believe it’s okay to ostracize people over fiction.”

At the end of the day, it’s about recognizing the line between content that is measurably harming real human beings and content that simply makes you uncomfortable. Do you believe it’s immoral to attack and harass another person over a disagreement about fiction? Do you believe the appropriate action is to block and move on, rather than publicly shaming and/or privately berating whoever posted it? Do you believe it’s possible for someone to use “dark” content as a means of emotionally processing trauma? Then I consider you pro-ship.

#saw another anti ranting about this issue and yknow what? hate that noise #like I’m generally squicked out completely by certain content #but at the same time I’ll gladly defend someone’s right to enjoy it in their own space on the internet and not receive hate mail over it #fiction is fiction! there’s a gap between what we accept in real life and enjoy in concept!#example: most people who love fictional murderers wouldn’t defend a real-life serial killer #which again—MOST. there are exceptions but that’s another matter #so why are ships held to a much more rigid standard of what a person is allowed to enjoy and share?#enjoyment of fiction ≠ moral beliefs about reality #take Wincest as example. personally I HATE IT. i find it disgusting and disturbing. i block wincest shippers because of that. but!#if I see someone being literally cyberbullied over it I’m going to step in and say ‘hey not cool’#does that make me okay with Wincest? absolutely not. but I am NOT okay with potentially damaging a human being’s mental health over it #pro ship #on fandom #logan.txt #on politics

traveling back in time not to talk to a victorian child or to fix history or any of that. traveling back in time so i can lay on a grassy hill and stare up at the night sky and be able to see more stars and galaxies then than i can now

#do you ever think about people in the past were probably able to see more stars than we can #that one episode of hey arnold about the comet is a good example of this #taking an astronomy class and relearning my love for the stars and space #how can i learn the vastness and mysterious of the universe and not become absolutely obsessed #how do you expect me to learn about the echo of creation - how we are made from stars - how the universe is both so incredibly full and so #incredibly empty and we think we know everything and also know that we don’t know anything #like bruh #i am just so incredibly fascinated #and it’s only the first week!!#words #astronomy #btz.txt #space #stars

the thing about the dudebro discussion, the aita post, the willingness to just take at face value any accusations directed at a person you don't know, is that it's all so painfully transparent, it's so obvious that those conversations are happening at this scale specifically because it's about trans women. maybe it's just me, but you generally shouldn't be using certain terms for people unless you know that they are comfortable with them, and if you fucked up then apologize and move on (if we pretend for a second that the majority of dudebros weren't feign ignorance or just actively malicious to begin with). you should be aware that some things don't affect you the same way they affect other people, and you definitely shouldn't be giving those people potentially dangerous advice on topics that you personally aren't familiar with, this is the baseline, at least don't fucking put other people who were misled into trusting you in danger. and if an anon barges into your inbox with some wild accusations then you should stop and think "hey, why are you coming to me anonymously with no evidence to back any of this up, and in such a way that i have to reply to you publicly so more people get to see this" regardless of who it's directed at. like, those are all pretty simple things, or they should be at least, but because the targets are trans women and transmisogyny is so fucking rampant everyone has to bend over backwards to come up with excuses as to why treating trans women this way is perfectly normal and justified.

#transmisogyny #i'm not going too much into the aita thing because i've seen trans women express different opinions and i don't feel like it's my place #to talk over any of them. ik how i feel but i'm focusing on the part that i feel more confident about. which is don't give people advice #when you have no idea what you're talking about. like. those people trust you and turn to you for help and the least you could do is to say #“hey i'm sorry but i'm not the right person to ask”#i've been in a situation where a friend assumed i was tma and i didn't realize (i never said i was but we met in a game so like #minimum info outside of pronouns which were they/them at the time + some assumptions based on little things she knew about me like height)#and when she asked me about something that is not my lived experience i cleared things up. so the idea of just rolling with it instead #is so baffling to me. it's so irresponsible and disrespectful. it's hard enough already for transfems to trust people and you pull this?#the dudebro thing too. i hate being called a bitch (has nothing to do with gender) and ik that if i said so people would be like “yea ok”#could throw some completely genderless term in here as an example as well. people are usually fairly reasonable. but nooo not with dude #can't have the right to casually misgender a trans woman taken away from you. gotta make it look like that's not what you're doing either #infuriating and exhausting #benvey tag

It would be nice if Star Wars actually treated their "good" disabled characters as actual disabled characters.

We see a lot of "bad" disabled characters have viewable disabling disabilities (ex: the latest The Bad Batch episode featured a cane-user with a prosthetic arm. This man was a hoarder of resources, and quite greedy and self-serving. Disability=hoarding resources is a TERRIBLE thing for Star Wars to highlight, but there they just went. That's a whole post I can make on its own, but I digress.)

But there are so few times that Star Wars truly acknowledges its disabled characters' disability in a positive light. It is always swept under the rug and forgotten about. This is what we have for our disabled "good" characters:

Anakin's hand only ever has problems twice--both of which aren't even true issues. His hand just gets caught by magnets. That's it. Sure, one time a little spark went through it durring the Zillo Beast arc, but despite all other mechanical appliances dying and short-circuting, Anakin's mechanical prosthetic does NOT. They didn't want to show Anakin without the use of his hand. Oh and he's turned into the "bad" character when his disability becomes actually acknowledged. Facisit disabled person... how charming (sarcasm).

Luke's prosthetic hand also does not cause him any true issues--again, minor inconveniences.

Echo's prosthetics are not acknowledged, ever. They act as if Echo has two hands, and he's constantly seen holding stuff as if he has two hands. Sorry, but he can't balance a giant ass box on a scomp like that. He would have to compensate--move his arm so that it balances differently.

Tech does not need to be more than autistic-coded. It's not a requirement to label everything. However, he has only had issues with his autism once. That's a good first step! But it's just a first step. Not to mention, he's a whitewashed savant. This is the most blatant, frustrating autism stereotype. I've already made a post about this.

Kanan and Chirrut's blindness is perhaps the most visibly disabling disability in any of the shows; however, said blindness is magically compensated for by the Force. They both still struggles with many things, which is a good change of pace, but ultimatley, it's not the representation it's meant to be. And, for Kanan, it is CURED at the end, before he DIES. Chirrut ALSO dies. I think that speaks for itself.

Yes, they are still disabled. That is not in question. But it's repackaged in a 'non-disabling' sense. Because why show disability when everything can be magically fixed? Why show disabled characters having realistic issues with their disability when it could be disabled characters made palatable for an abled audience?

Yes, a good number of disabled people would like to be, for lack of a truly appropriate term, ""fixed"" (a whole different topic, though--and a huge one at that). I don't doubt many amputees would probably like the a prosthetic like Anakin's. And yes, it would be nice to be so easily and readily accepted as disabled people like they are in Star Wars.

However.

The continued treatment of disabled people as if they aren't disabled is a massive problem in today's, real-life world. Because we don't have that luxury of being treated as nicely. So as great as it is to dream of a life where we're accepted as normal, IT IS IMPORTANT TO VIEW THEIR DISABILITY AS NORMAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

It is necessary to see openly disabled people being clearly disabled, while still being viewed as equal, "normal" people. When disability is only shown openly as disabling when it is for the greedy or the facists... that is ableist writing.

All I want is for a main character to be openly disabled, in a disabling way, rather than just magically fixed and unacknowledged. Disability representation can only go so far when it is just "hey, here's a disabled character." We need them to be acknowledged as disabled, too.

#how many times do blind people have to say 'hey can you stop giving characters magical sight-like abilities?'#because i can't tell you how many times i've read articles and posts and everything where blind people ask for a regular blind character #only to have magical shit #and how many times do we autistic people have to beg for a someone other than a savant white boy?#how many times do we disabled people have to ask for realistic expressions of pain?!#i have only ONCE seen a good and realistic example of a character with chronic pain (one a fellow disabled w/chronic pain writer wrote)#it is SO HARD to be disabled and watch 'disability rep' mean nothing more than 'hey look they've got prosthetics!'#and then have NO OTHER EXPRESSION OF THAT DISABILITY #YES they are still disabled. but NO they are not treated correctly.#they are being made palatable for the ABLED AUDIENCE.#and i'm tired of it.#disability #disability representation #disability in fiction #ableism in media #star wars #star wars prequels #star wars: the clone wars #star wars: the bad batch #star wars: rebels #star wars: rogue one #star wars original trilogy #please note this is not a fully-fledged paper. i could do that. i could absoultely do that with my rhetoric degree.#however. this is a blog post.#please keep that in mind!

Hello! I was reading an Egyptologist post on oracles in Ancient Egypt, where you were discussing that these oracles weren’t called on to see the future, but the past.

Then I went to a source—DEBORAH SWEENEY, Gender and Oracular Practice in Deir el-Medîna—thelittlergyptologist (iirc) left in the conversation and it said this about the oracle system of Deir el-Medîna:

“At Deir el-Medîna, the oracle of Amenhotep I was asked both to intervene in legal cases and to predict the future or provide otherwise inaccessible information.”

Here’s the citation in-article:

Is the article’s perception of oracles outdated?

I ask because I am, unfortunately, a writer and would like to have a solid idea of how to approach this type of oracle.

fielding this back off to @thatlittleegyptologist even though oracles are my thing-adjacent because i am up to my eyeballs in crochet for the next 2 weeks and much as i would love to go down this research verification hole i simply do not have the time but i will say this, again with the disclaimer i haven't read either thing recently - BIFAO 35 is from 1935 so. Outdated? Probably - I mean Cerny is generally pretty sound but it's still very much from 1935 - IDK why Sweeney was citing it in 2008. That in itself is a bit odd given there are definitely more recent works about the oracle of Amenhotep - It's also in French - to my knowledge there are no other sources about the oracle of Amenhotep being used for predicting the future, and all the ostracon from it are like. Legal matters. Like every other oracle - So like. That would be weird As I said though Lottie will dig into it more tomorrow (heaven knows her grasp of French is better than mine anyway) but I'm inclined to say it's either a bad reading/phrasing by Cerny, a bad translationr/reading of Cerny by Sweeney, or it actually was used for predicting the future and simply nobody else for like 80 years noticed and it's just one very hyper specific oracle (Amenhotep being a properly deified pharaoh functioning as a local god, and all) that absoutely isn't the norm outside of One Workman's Village At One Very Specific Time

#i'm inclined to say it's not and something got bungled somewhere. it happens #but if it is - hey could be never say never - then it's one hyper specific and very unique example #so i wouldn't really worry about it either way?#oracles georg and all that #sorry to not be more useful at this immediate time #this mystery will be solved shortly #probably

the webtoon may have left out a lot of things but they did yassify the orcs which is the funniest thing to me right now

*sigh* they did yassify the orcs <3

now i want to see what they'll do with the sirens and whether i should be excited or worried lmao

#hey i got an ask #Anonymous #the greatest estate developer #tged #also. can we talk about the elephant on the room.#listen i may be totally be wrong about this and i would love to hear you guys' thoughts about this but.#doesn't it feel a little. weird. this thing the webtoon has about making muscular women look overly scary or rough?#like i feel it's gone under the radar because most of us just went 'oh hell yeah muscular women that shit rules let's go!'#but..... i think that wasn't... actually what the artists had in mind when they did. that.#like for example mellica. she's great i love her top tier character design. but look at her. and tell me the way they presented her #doesn't look like a set up for the audience to go 'oh super muscular woman is scary ha ha'. be honest.#now to be fair! all the elves look buff! like they actually look like people who train and fight and do archery constantly! they look great #so i can pass it off as a maybe a little clumsy attempt to give us more buff female characters it's fine whatever #but then we get to the lady ella bit. and uh. well.#how do say this.. it feels. mean-spirited? sorta?? a little mean??#not even because i was really looking forward to this arc i'm a big girl i can swallow my disappointments like an adult and all that #but it feels like the joke there was 'ha ha man in a dress looks weird isn't that funny? ha ha men are attracted to him that's hilarious'#especially because they went out of their way to make javier look overly burly and buff while wearing the dress #i joked about it but doesn't it feel weird?? we know javier is a pretty guy he's muscular but he's also lean and almost... delicate looking #when wearing his normal clothes #he's a pretty guy! in the novel he could easily pass as girl with no issues!#and instead the webtoon decided to make him look so big and buff he was almost ripping the dress because of how burly he is?#like clearly the joke was 'this guy can't pass for a woman and it's funny that no one seems realize it and even think he's beautiful'#and they even went with the 'i respect your fetishes' joke which. oh boi.#so i'm worried about what kind of jokes they'll make when we get to the mermaids which are described as really big and muscular #even in the novel. in which there are some illustrations that i still haven't decided how much i like tbh #and maybe i'm exaggerating! maybe i'm being paranoid! maybe i'm making a big deal out of nothing and seeing mean jokes #out of a simple gag with no ill intentions behind it!#but i just. think it's weird. and not really all that funny. and i wanted to acknowledge it cause i felt uncomfortable not saying anything #so i'd like to know what you guys think. i think i need more perspectives on this before i say something dumb(er) lol

Aro culture is wanting to complain about not getting to see much of a favourite celebrity in a TV series after a certain point until the new season next year, but not wanting people to think that means you have a crush on them. Alternatively, aro culture is wanting to gush about celebrities you like without people automatically assuming it's a crush.

.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod phoenix #the only way i'd assume it's attraction is like. if it's pretty hard to see it as anything else #ie an old 'straight' friend who was known to go on half-hour long rants about how much he liked chris... uh. the thor one. his abs.#at which point we were like uh. hey kyle. you... got something you wanna talk to us about?#unfortunately he was v much convinced he was straight and homophobic despite this being one of like. so many examples of us being like...#bro you're the only straight cis one in your main friend group and you're a band kid with drama kid gfs #this does not give us the impression of a straight man kyle.#he was a weird type of homophobic tho #he was like? perfectly fine with people around him being gay and trans and was pretty chill about respecting identities #like shockingly good about respecting pronouns including situational stuff for safety #for someone who on more than one occasion talked about how he thought gay couples shouldn't be able to adopt and shit like that #from what i last heard though i think he got engaged to the last gf of his i knew from high school #and i knew her well enough that i assume he had to have improved as a person if she's willing to have married him #... i cannot stay on topic lol

girl help im writing an extra secrety secret thing and it may involve writing from the perspective of someone who has maybe the little beginnings of a crush on fluff and i am having so much trouble because i need to show that in a written physical description and i genuinely cannot think of a single thing about fluff that somebody would find physically attractive

#its not even a “all of my characters look average as hell to me” thing this time man #usually when im in the mindset of a character's pov i can pinpoint what that character would Enjoy #like edge Enjoys russ with his shirt off. for example. he also really likes his smile & how animated he can get when speaking #russ would like edge's Solidness if that makes sense. also his general clothing style and yeah also his ass #but now im being forced to realize that THIS pairing really was just the product of a “hey that would be fucked up” and now im SCREWED #SOBS.

showing SOOOO much restraint by not asking about "well what does somebody do for coping if they are in an inescapable abuse situation?" and also for not getting upset when the dbt teachers say that [REDACTED] inescapable situation is a bad example to use for the DBT skill actually because it's too dark and sends the wrong message. hi um. i am in an inescapable situation currently. i would like some coping skills for that. and also maybe do not fucking leave out the dark stuff just because "oh nobody here would be dealing with that" :))))

#PLEASEEEE #''these skills are ONLY for crises which are SHORT TERM and END.'' okay but what does somebody do if the horrors DONT end....#they also said some kind of stupid and not tactful shit about substance abuse being used as an example for everything #and im just. hey. if u say that about substance abuse. then ppl who are struggling w it in here are going to feel shamed. so thats great /s #(/s = sarcasm - not enough room to type it out in that tag sdfjkl)#THEYRE JUST SO STUPID SOMETIMES SORRY. i hate the hospital staff SO FUCKING MUCH.#and i LIKE both of these teachers. esp one of them is really nice and cool. but god. they are not professional enough for this #i could do such a better job of teaching dbt i swear to fucking GODDDD #maybe slightly hypocritical of me idk but i need to request that they dont talk about eating as an example of destructive coping mechanism #(to replace for an example since substance abuse is ''too heavy''. theyre also mentioning gambling and shopping too much as examples)#because that shit fucks me up to hear about fdsjkl i already struggle too much w guilt around eating Anything Ever so i dont need more fuel #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

Cried over an English test but hey I'm alive

#very pissed at the teacher #i wasn't there the day of the test but i was there when they were handed back #so i got to take a look at the format and it was pretty simple #describe each literary device listed and give an example #so i thought i would be doing that. i could do that #but i show up today and the test he gives me is completely different #it says to identify the literary device in each sentence. the thing is #EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS MULTIPLE OF THE OPTIONS #so i asked the teacher and he said “yeah but they all have one that's the most correct just trust your instincts”#AND IM JUST SITTING THERE LIKE HELLO?????? “MOST CORRECT”????????#NONE OF THEM ARE MORE CORRECT THAN THE OTHERS #and i told him this!!!! and he said “just pick the most obvious one and don't second guess yourself”#OKAY WELL HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT WHAT IS IMMEDIATELY MOST OBVIOUS TO YOU IS NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME FOR ME #AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WRONG???????????#FUCKING HELL #LEARN TO. IDEK. LEARN SOME COMMON SENSE DUDE #my reaction must have been pretty extreme bc the girl next to me was like “hey you'll do fine” and asked how i was doing a few times #appreciate you girlie you're a real one #so yeah i cried two or three times BUT did not let the tears leave my eyes #one point with just out of frustration bc the teacher said something wrong. and then later he corrected himself #and even though it was easier after that i still cried bc i was losing my mind #anyway i normally like this teacher but this was fucking stupid #everyone stop whatever you're doing and only pay attention to me #ann rants
