i think when the doctor says stuff that contradicts their own life like "ive never been this far out" it's not lying or poor continuity, i think it's just memory

#i tell accidental lies about my own life and experiences daily #and im only 25 #how the fuck is the doctor expected to remember all that #and even if theyve done it before #but dont remmeber #even if its not like evil mindwipe dont remember but just. regular. it's been 1000 years dont remember #if it feels to them like its the first time then for all intents and purposes of that line it is the first time #right? #i suppose thats up to your philosophy but according to mine #then it is the first time #also i think as a writer you have to pick and choose what continuities to honour or you'll drive yourself mad #i dont actually know if this particular one line was incorrect #i just think ive seen someone say so #but like im not actually entirely sure what the difference is between like #the end of the universe or the end of time or between universes or Whatever #so #what is 'farther out' who knows not me

I would say Yoh needs someone to tell him about his massive crush on Pun but his sistee literally already did. Twice. It’s been awhile since we’ve had a character this oblivious about their own feelings but damn if he isn’t just the cutest about it. I mean just look at the way he smiles at Pun (I’m on my phone so I can’t take a screenshot but y’all already know what I mean)

#1000 years old #1000 years old the series #1000 years old series #1000 years old bl #what is yoh more oblivious about #the fact that pun is obviously a vampire (failpire excuse me) #or that he’s in love with him. at this point he’s in love with him #or the fact that pun is worried about his safety because of somchai lurking #who yoh has been TOLD is a murderer so its not like yoh has no reason to suspect anything #regardless of somchai’s guilt yoh not knowing why pun is on guard is hilarious #no wonder boy struggles to find aliens #the otherworldly literally just fell into your lap in multiple ways ans mutliple times #and yes you thought pun was weird and started investigating #but boy i am as skeptical as they come but at this point id believe pun #and hes out there just smiling away not a care in the world not a thought in his head #i cant wait for all of the realizations to hit him #hes too smart to be this dumb i love him entirely too much

The only language studying advice I’ve got that matters much, as in isn’t take or leave (because most advice really depends on the person and their preferences for how to study), is this:

if you study for enough cumulative hours, and are regularly spending study time on some new material that is requiring you to learn something (compared to picking 1 study material and reviewing it but never ever moving onto a new material with unknowns you must learn), you will make progress. 

Most people, eventually, will move onto studying something regularly challenging them with new material to learn. Usually when they realize they weren’t learning anything new long enough. (I’m a perfectionist so I perhaps realize slower than some people when I’m reviewing material to the point of refusing to move onto new challenging material that would provide more to new stuff to learn). So for the most part, as long as you just study Enough Hours, you will eventually make progress. 

There’s no fancy perfect or ‘better’ study method. Maybe there is for you personally. So it could be fun to explore various study methods. But in the end it mostly comes down to time spent studying. So WHATEVER study methods are ones you can do, and keep getting yourself to do, are the BEST ones for you to make progress with. (And its fine to change study methods if it gets you to KEEP studying). Because in the end, its going to be hundreds or thousands of hours you just need to spend reviewing what you’ve learned by practicing with it, and studying new stuff to increase what you know.

People like to argue sometimes that textbook study is best, or classroom study, or tutors, or immersion, flashcards, mnemonics, context learning, drills, audio lessons, etc. Pick whatever you can stick to, change it if you realize now you can get yourself to Do something else easier. If textbooks are something you get yourself to do, then do them. If you refuse to open textbooks you buy, then use something you WILL use more often. Whatever you pick will work if you put in the study hours. 

TLDR: the best study methods for YOU are the ones you will do, because the amount of total study time you put in is the biggest thing influencing if you make progress. 

Don’t worry too much about if your study method is perfect or if another would be ‘better.’ If you feel like switching it up, have fun. If you feel a method you’d hate looks effective, if you won’t do it then it wouldn’t be effective anyway.

*Note: if you have perfectionist tendencies or tend to stick to trying to master current materials (my worst tendency), my personal suggestion is maybe try to make sure 50% of your study time is spent on something containing Something new and challenging. To make sure you’re regularly making some progress in learning new material. (Examples: if you have read a graded reader then listening to the audiobook would provide at least 1 new thing to challenge yourself and learn - listening skills of those words you read, if you find a new novel chapter with mostly known words but a few new ones - it has some new words to learn and new sentences combinations of words you know, if you are listening to review of something you entirely know and can comprehend in listening then consider trying to shadow the audio so you can challenge yourself with new pronunciation practice, and of course stuff like reading a book/watching a show with a bunch of new words or having a conversation in a new topic would contain new challenging material to learn). 

#rant #90% of reddit language forums drama comes down to the arguement of what works 'best' #in reality most people who fail to learn a language fail because they give up before they put 500 hours - 2500 hours into it #so the most important factor of if you will succeed if if you will simply KEEP studying #so pick whatever you'll keep doing! #classrooms/tutors work well for people who like to be held accountable by a teacher #learning by context works well for me because it requires me to run into new material to learn and lets me learn by Doing which is what i #personally prefer. audio lessons work GREAT if you listen to stuff a lot while commuting/exercising #drills work Great if you do them! its just some people refuse to do them so of course they wouldnt work if you arent doing them #learning by reading works but only if you WILL read the amount it requires #and i only mention the *must regularly study something new* part #because as a perfectionist. in japanese i literally reviewed 300 kanji for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT refusing to study anything else out of fear #i wasnt prepared for ANYTHING else until i MASTERED the 300 basic kanji #so u know what happened? i only learned the 300 kanji. nothing else. in tons of hours. in at LEAST 700 hours of study #in retrospect. i know i could have learned at least 2000 words. at least 1000 kanji. at least basic reading ability with a dictionary #in 700 hours. if i had actually regularly been studying new challenging material as at least 50% of my study time #so as a person with perfectionist tendencies. i personally need 50% or more of all study time to always have SOME new content to learn

wait why was no one going to tell me that nightmare rarity, something ive only heard vaguely of over the years since i keep neglecting to read the comics, wasnt corrupted by some internal pain, but instead the comic claims that nightmare moon is actually a parasitic type creature that took her over and that nightmare moon is a seperate entity from luna entirely. or at least according to the wiki

i kinda... hate that. thats not canon to me actually

#my post #mlp #i relate to luna/nightmare moon and it feels... less? that it be something like that #its so hard to explain. especially since im tired and was literally going to sleep when i was like wait i need to look this up #nightmare moon... is luna. to me. #it was her pain and her jealousy and her isolation and loneliness manifested #it was her lashing out at everyone she percieved as not loving her how she felt she should have been loved #it was her losing control. almost willingly. because she was so overwhelmed by pain #and that led to her being banished and isolated for 1000 years until she got to try and hurt people again #but she was defeated by friendship beams and then accepted with open arms by her sister once agin and blah blah blah you know #it just isnt right to me for it to be like. haha get parasited idiot #and idk i was thinking itd be cool if that was the deal with rarity in that comic #ALSO the whole reason i looked it up is cause i keep thinking about opaline if she was flurry heart but corrupted #opaline being flurryhearts nightmare moon yknow #but coming up with a motivation that feels right is kinda difficult lol #tropes

#there should be a word for when youre talking around the tightness of tears #speaking against something that hurts #laughing specifically to undermine the seriousness of the statements youre voicing #the worst of both worlds. help me help me hahaha im not even joking hahaha but listen to the lies in my tone. dont focus on the words. #i want plausible deniability. but also i want u to understand my pain and give it a voice. speak it into existence because i cant say it #but if u do i might cry. that sounds hard that sounds like a lot. i kno i know. shut up. keep talking. do u think i dont feel it? i do #but if i split myself in two i can watch myself and suddenly it becomes funny. im not sure why. but i have a bad habbit of laughting at #inappropriate moments. because if its not funny then its just sad and what am i supposed to do with that? #i dunno. thats all to say my dad called bc i was looking at housing stuff and i was explaining some of the stuff im doing rn #and thats hard to talk abt without crying bc ive always been a cry bby but i didnt. and i love my parents theyre great #but they dont understand bc i havent told them all of it bc theres nothing they can do so y make them worry. and idk i also think they #think im less competent than i am. and part of that is just bc im their kid. part of that is bc there r things thst most ppl can do but i #struggle with. but its also not fun to hear: oh yeah i was surprised by how professional u sounded. or i think ur mom found u those #connections. when no. i did that. i made those things happen. i promise i can do things sometimes. but sometimes i cant. i dunno its just #it is what it is. whatever. decisions to b made. do i room with roommates for lower rent #or do i take an expensive place for a year for a single room? i dont want roommates but ill take them #i mean all the single places r like 950 at the very lowest without any utilities or anything but most r well over 1000 and like on a grad #student salary? i think not. not without losing money on net. i can deal with roommates. i have in the past. i wont b able to relax ever #but its fine. ya kno #just annoying. hah my dads sage advice was ah dont let it overwhelm u. go exercise. bc hes an endurance runner guy #and im like bro when i get home i have 1.5 hrs of daylight. but alas hes right. i do gotta run out my angers and its not enough #ugh. one more week. itll work out. and eventually ill walk into a counselors office like bro i just want u to tell me whether or not i have #0cd bc whatever the fuck it is that makes me do these things is absolutely destroying me. name the beast 0cd or 0cpd. tell me what box #i fit into. not that it matters but i feel like i cant complain until someone else rubber stamps me. actually then ill probably just obsess #abt how. actually. theyre wrong. ay fun times #i gotta shake shake shake my sillies out. and wiggle my waggles away. bc i never could let my kids songs go haha #unrelated

Idk maybe im being naive and this might piss some people off lol but like...

Its so weird growing up in school where i was cause we were lucky, we had history teachers that never hid or excused the horrors of American slavery, native American genocide and the Holocaust. My teacher was very direct about how important it was to know the facts about these genocides and mass governmental mistreatment. About how people would abuse your lack of knowledge to down play these events and use that misinformation to encourage further violence.

I was never prepared in middle school to have to watch the colonizer government that is America try and gaslight and brainwash this informed country about what's happening in Gaza and Palestine. I was never told it happened in my life time (it very much did surrounding 9/11 and the wars it sprung and worsened, however I was born literally 3 months before it happened so I have no living knowledge of it), infact I was told it feasibly couldnt happen in my life time, Infront of adult me with the rise of the spread of social media and Information. I was assured in those classrooms that the only reason people could hide genocide was because people didn't have the ability to talk to someone on the other side of the world in milliseconds.

That if people in other countries really truely knew what was happening truely during the slave trade and the colonization of America and especially the Holocaust, the world would of stopped it. How we all swore it wouldn't happen again. How we were the generation that would never forget and now I sit here, thousands and thousands of miles away from an ethnic cleansing similar to my ancestors and watch the people who fought for Ukraine's right to acknowledgement and survival... Tell Palestinians they should give in.

Tell Israel it has the right to exist. Ignore the Torah and it's very clear rules about how a Jewish state should never exist and ignore it. Watch my government shadow-fund it. Watch major news outlets and celebrities I loved like jack black and Jamie Lee Curtis turn on the Palestinians. Watch them sit in their big fancy houses and cushy life and tell them to die for a state that isn't even 100 yrs old and was made purely to push Jewish people out of Europe after WW2. We all know they haven't seen any footage on the ground.

We know that haven't seen the man carrying his child's body in plastic bags, they haven't seen the woman who wouldn't wash her hands of her dead child's blood because then she couldn't sleep near her children , they haven't seen the arm of an infant dead in rubble still holding a piece of bread he hadnt taken a single bite of.... And in 20 years... 30 years... Maybe even 50 years and they are all dead or aging, they'll talk about how they wanted to donate but couldn't. How they felt exhausted watching the genocide. How they were the few standing for them when the Palestinians who will survive this war, who grew up living it, try to hold their decripid, gold filled bodies accountable.

I will be there. I'll be 70 yrs old and sitting there, watching them, knowing that they were the ones who claimed they'd stand for the white victims of the invasion on Ukraine but won't stand for the brown victims of this colonization. We remember. We will always remember. They will be held accountable. The 10,000 dead and missing children will be waiting for them, telling their gods of them, because as much as they hate brown people, Palestinians are of every faith. There are Christian Palestinians, Jewish Palestinians, Muslim Palestinians... They will tell them you were complacent in the murder of these innocent fucking children. I only wish I could see it, the look on their faces, when they meet that god. And I pray they receive the same mercy those children were afforded.

The native community remembers, and we will always stand with Palestine.

#clover speaks #the war makes me sick #the zionists and their allies make me sicker #you know they are killing innocent children #you know these people have no where to run or hide #you know gazians and Palestinians have been under colonizational control for years #and they turn their heads #they who screamed for ukraine and screamed for blm will not scream for the innocent Palestinians #never fucking trust a celebrity #they will meet their karma and i hope its swift and painful #may they meet the same torture kissinger is in #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #even if there was 500 hamas in gaza even 1000 in gaza #20000 people dead and missing are never an excusable casualty number #never #it never will be #this is a genocide #this is an erasure of culture and peoples for the benefit of colonizerz #this is happening and you need to figure out which side your on when this gose down #when the dust settles and Palestinians are still there and those funding this war are put out of positions of power #people are gathering screenshots and videos of you we know your face #we know who you stood for #and you will pay for the blood you greedily shed like the fucking vermin you are #disgusting #natives stand with Palestine #natives againest colonization #we know you and we see you #this is kinda venty and dramatic ik #but i cant properly put into words how much this sickens me #how ive had to take breaks because its too much and brings up racial trauma

it is fun when u comment on a post on reddit and someones like "ummmm look what sub youre in" like no i know. i just think what you said is dumb enough that i'm willing to get downvoted to tell you that

#EVEN IN A SELF PIERCING GROUP DOING YOUR OWN SMILEY IS NEEDLESSLY DUMB!!! #like im of the opinion that self piercing for sure has risks and isn't something that should be encouraged but also that #people have the right to assess that and decide if theyre good with that #like i pierced my own ears bc thats about the lowest risk one you can do (see: claires) #obviously its not NO risk so again i dont think people should be encouraged to. but also people are going to do it #you're never gonna stop ppl from self piercing‚ even if you took all the needles and guns off of amazon and wish n whatnot #people would (and do) just Find Other Pointy Things #so with that i believe while it shouldnt be encouraged‚ there are ways to minimize the risks that should be like #publicly available information. cause if ur never gonna be able to stop it you might as well make it as safe as you can #but your SMILEY??? YOUR FUCKING SMILEY????? #like anything in the mouth really is just. stupid dangerous to do yourself no matter how many precautions you take #ex did you know it is not difficult to fuck up a tongue piercing so bad you bleed out #like you dont even have to do anything wrong either‚ you can do it perfectly and just Happen to have a vein right where you stab #and because its so close to your heart it has a Lot of blood flow #like theres a guy i follow on youtube who's been told by multiple piercers he can never get a tongue piercing #specifically because he would straight up die #absolutely not. never ever in 1000 years. straight up it would be more responsible to do your own dermals with no training #than to pierce shit in ur own mouth with no training and i will die on this hill fuck my fake internet points

If you catch me posting Bible memes I'm not turning into a Christian or whatever the fuck I was before my intense spiritual crisis 2 years ago (or was it three)? I went to school for academic theological studies (analysis of religion from an exterior view point) and recent books have me nostalgic and hyperfixating.

#if anything grief turned me back into atheist #ive been a few things #my dad was raised catholic but is a staunch atheist #and mom was sort of Pentecostal and sort of methodist and is a like #soft atheist who definitely believes in ghosts and curses and shit #and i was an atheist for a long time but i felt drawn to Catholicism #it felt like a culture idk #and then it got more and more comforting to non commitally hover at its edges through witchcraft and loose modern spiritual stuff #and perform mental gymnastics about it and mostly believe large swaths of its mythology without thinking about the moral and human side and #also not converting because i couldn’t face my parents if i did and i also was already aware that i couldn’t #but i kept convincing myself that The Church as an institution could somehow be good despite how evil everyone running it is #and then my education finally got the upper hand over my weird desperate longing to fully believe in something beautiful and nearly ancient #and also my father had repeated lies he didn’t know enough to spot #my education finally made me understand that The Church was only >1000 years old #that the gnostics (originally a jewish tradition according to bart d erhman and he referenced this as being commonly accepted) #were the group which the supposed messiah belonged to and the patristic church (catholic church 1.0) had them all killed #unarmed ascetics starving in the desert the people who wrote the earliest gospels and the church killed them all #there is no textual basis for the authority of the pope #the devil was a comprise #the saints were a marketing tactic #correction: the church is sort over a thousand years old but it went through so many iterations and eras before we got here #to be exact #the church FATHERS aka the church that will become the patristic church in the wake of these dudes #and im fuzzy on if the orthodox church is a fully separate iteration or if it and the patristic are used interchangeably #Catholicism as like a term comes out of the scism with Protestantism i think

amazing how pride month has just started and ive still somehow had to unfollow 3 people rbing the most insanely biphobic shit w/o caring

#tbf they were people i dont really even remember following in the first place #like they crawled out of the woodwork just for this month to be awful #anyways friendly reminder that my gf is bi and i do not put up w that shit at all #like fucking hell i feel like i see this every goddamn june #even just the amount of ppl irl who Steph has explicitly stated she is bi to SEVERAL TIMES #who exclusively refer to her as a lesbian bc she's dating me and has been for 8yrs #which is also super shitty considering im not a fucking woman #ppl will respect my pronouns but very clearly see me as Woman Lite and refuse to take criticism on that #vent #personal #sorry i just. i see this every year #and i know its probs that irl we only know so many queer ppl #so it feels like everyone we know is performitively accepting #in our eight years of dating i havent heard a single person other than myself call steph bi #even when its among friends. even when she's told them over and over #and even when i bring up 1000 times that I AM GENDERFLUID. i am not female!!!! #im so tired of other queer ppl thinking that theyre allowed to use whatever fucking labels they want for us #even when we have told them exactly what we are and what we are comfortable with #I'll probs delete this later #bc i hate having negative shit/vents on my blog #im just so tired man #if someone tells you a label...use it #a bi person is still bi even if you think theyre something else #a lesbian is still a lesbian even if you think theyre something else #a trans person is the gender they say they are EVEN IF they dont fit your standards of that gender #literally what is so hard about seeing someone else tell you exactly what to call them and then calling them what they said to #for the love of god JUST RESPECT PPL #its not fucking hard
