Robin

My sister: Did you see how many robins and squirrels there are?

Me: There are five Robins, six if you include the starfish.

My sister: ...I meant in the yard...

Me: And there is Squirrel Girl!

#anyway #there were like #a hundred robins in the yard #only about 7 squirrels though #dorleen green #damian wayne #robin #tim drake #jason todd #dick grayson #red robin #red hood #nightwing #batfam shenanigans #jarro the starro #jarro the star wonder #batfam #batfamily #robins

#i dont even think we had a punch bowl #there were like #nacho chips #and that was it

going through my history like this is so weird. on november 19th i went through some sort of bender where i clicked on (and didn't read. none of these fics recieved kudos or were visited more than once) a fuckton of fics from fandoms im not in and barely recognize containing tags i know i didn't search. why? what was i doing? it might also be relevant that the first fic in this list IS from a fandom i recognize (stranger things) but judging from the description i don't think i read it. this is the only ao3 activity from that day

#the fics included (but are not limited to. i only remember the two - i deleted them all from my history since i didn't read them) #justice and critical role #and a third one #there were like #at least fifteen fics #literally what the fuck was i doing #finn says shit #ao3 #fanfiction

Not me finding out the Trojan war probably didn't happen, at least not like that. There was no horse, childhood ruined, the Iliad will never read the same again :(

#I am genuinely distressed #Helen wasn't even real #Achilles might have been based on a person though #on the upside #there were like #9 Troys (the place) #I should really not be as surprised as I am #i mean #greek myth didn't happen either #Athena was not born from Zeus's head #and yet

Dewey: Do you ever wonder what’s in a wasps nest?

Louie: Wasps.

[[ Considering 90% of my inbox was filled with character meme stuff that I no longer remember where they’re from... I’ve cleared out my ask box! Which means I’ll be a lot more responsive to anything that comes my way and might do future character ask stuff. ]]

#ooc #there were like #30+ asks of just jumbled weird words #and no description as to what they were for #oh well clean slate time #writey event gives me the writey brain juice

can’t stop thinking about my friend’s cishet partner who said last night that he doesn’t think anyone is the same gender. god-tier take.

#sky.txt #we were talking about how some people conceptualize nonbinary as like a 3rd gender #rather than a huge spectrum of experience #and he just hit us with that

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

i watch baseball for the side quests (ps: this baseball player also makes fruit cocktails midgame)

#please… when he started decorating it with sunflower seeds #when the commentators were like: he actually tried to pour water in the moat #;_______; i love #baseball can not be a real sport #my fave moment is still mantis-chan perched on victor robles’ cap. the tandem we deserve #but this. this come close #the nhl should let opposing players in the penalty box build a snowman together #lourdes gurriel jr #arizona diamondbacks #baseball #mlb

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!

the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.

and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!

hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon

#his drawings were so cute too and they had titles like ‘silent warrior’ ‘voice of the people’ ect waaaa im so #excited for this class #he also promised to wear a mask and asked us to do the same my mannnn #double shot

i hate when people call marcille a girlfailure btw like SHE ISNT. and shes not a ”girlboss” either. this is a neurotic and Permanently On The Edge of a Breakdown overachiever late 20s virgin just out of her phd program with permanently shaky hands from an addiction to overly sugary coffee and a deep desire to be crushed to death under falins giant jugs no matter the cost. the only thing shes ever ”failed” at is going to theraphy

#she works hard and succeeds 24/7 she just has bunny animal neurosis. and shes surrounded by the toudens which is like if a small animals #closest two friends were 2 giant dogs that make it freak out 24/7 #dungeon meshi

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience
