ive got an essay due at 3pm tomorrow and ive not even looked at it i am so so unserious about my degree and by the grace of some higher being i somehow keep managing to crawl through it's actually getting a bit funny

#me and an old friend of mine used to have a running joke during a-levels that im just one of those people where shit Works Out #and it started bc we shared two a-levels (english and economics) and in BOTH classes i regularly didn't do the homework #or the reading etc and yet it would ALWAYS work out for me #like we'd walk into a class neither of us having done the homework and they'd get yelled at while i went under the radar somehow #or that one english essay i got the highest score in the class when i literally hadn't even read the fucking book it was on #and when we pointed the theory out it started just becoming really prevalent #like no matter how late i am for things i'll arrive and by some miracle the thing im late for is also late (e.g a train or teacher) #like im just one of those people that has very very mundane luck #and low and behold i am fighting this degree with bloody fists putting the absolute bare minimum in for my own sanity's sake #and i SOMEHOW keep pulling through. literally failed two modules last year and STILL got a 2:1 average #and the last essay i wrote was the worst essay id ever done in my life and i get my standards are higher bc ik im good at essays #but the point still stands and you know what? i got a FIRST #literally was pure waffle i have never blagged it so hard and i got a FIRST #and all this shit just makes me cockier and cockier and go even more by the skin of my teeth and it ALWAYS WORKS OUT #it's soooo silly but im not complaining. anyway ill keep u posted about this essay <3 it's econ history so is actually interesting #but the most ive done for it is ask the sc ai lmao and for context degree-level essays usually require a good few days of graft #live love laziness #hella goes to uni

I'M GLAD YOU AGREE WITH BILL. I LITERALLY SHIP HIM AND RYAN LIKE CRAZY

I mean, like,

Okay. So we know how Ryan is kinda some way about relationships. He's like "I like you but you're too much work but I'm not gonna tell you that because then you'll leave me and sometimes I want to leave you but I'm not gonna because then I'd be lonely and a loser so I'm not gonna tell you anything so you'll stay and I'll pretend to like you always in the best way I can even" about people and ends up an asshole most occasions. He's genuine multiple times but not enough and to not enough people in his self imposed rolodex and you can see that in the games and the book, and it's not just Diane or Cohen. He's like that with Sullivan, who I think he cares for, but because he can't understand Sullivan all of the time and wishes he would stop being Sullivan on some occasions, he ends up undermining and underestimating his judgement. And it hurts him when Sully dies, you know, or at least that's what I gather from the book; whether that's a blow to his pride that the rolodex is thinning out or because of actual genuine emotional attachment is up in the air, but the blow is a blow.

Bill is the same. Bill, maybe Greavy too before he died. Ryan likes Bill a hell of a lot more than almost everyone else. Bill's death is the same clinical detachment as all other deaths in the games with Ryan, but in the book, well. Karlosky says it best:

He didn't see Bill die, like he didn't with Sullivan, but this time it was voluntary. This is more than a blow to pride. Bill was like his safe space, in some instances. Like in the dinner scene at Kashmir at the start, when he isn't thinking about going off to Jasmine, he's wishing Bill were there at the table and is even elated when he gets called away, presuming Bill is already on top of the situation.

(also in this scene is the tidbit where Ryan laments on having already been married and "Never again," is his end to that narration, and nobody talks about that I am chewing through drywall—)

Bill is the closest thing Ryan has to a friend, which is still a long ass stretch. Ryan likes Bill, but Ryan is Ryan, and that is the entire tragedy on the matter. No matter how much he's gone and loved, gotten himself attached, genuinely feels for a person, pride comes first. Pride, not even Rapture, not even the ghosts he was running from from the outside world, he doesn't even care when he becomes the very monster that killed his aunt and uncle on that train platform and forced him and his father into hiding, if only under a different name, which is entirely too fitting. Bill, Diane, Greavy, Sullivan, Jasmine, and even Cohen, presumably, end up dying because Andrew Ryan is a man who does not buckle, does not compromise even when he should.

You would wonder if he were a different man, maybe the sort who would build a city under the ocean not to run from taxes, but from the biased and alienist regimes of the government above, who didn't value capitalism over humanity, who actually lived up to the whole "no gods, no kings" bit, if we could have had him and Bill in that office where Bill quietly admits to himself that Ryan is lovely when he's just sitting at his desk with his glasses lost in work, if he would have let go of Diane and didn't hang her on a string, if he listened to Sullivan about the plasmids and Fontaine and Culpeper.

But that is the tragedy of Rapture, and I'm a sucker for tragedies and alternate timelines where things are different and Ryan reads fairytales to Jack in his native tongue and tells him about the things he will never have to face ever so long as Ryan is alive as he falls asleep, whilst Bill watches from the door, reminiscing on how far they've come.

Or alternatively where he meets a stranded Robert House in 1933 and gets his ass handed to him by an apocalypse approved civil engineer and Rapture looks like an art deco reef instead of just New York on green filter.

Or he's a vessel for some kind of Cthulu and Bill has to handle that and Fontaine is freaking out because the feds didn't tell him this op has eldritch monsters peeking in from the windows and half of everyone is stuck here under Ryan's dead eyes being slowly fattened up to feed to some kind of monster lurking just under Persephone and who's like "alright yes you can have the plumber and all these others for yourselves pet, but remember you have to feed the slugs." and the little sisters once turned become his children. you know. usual shenanigans.

TLDR; yes, I love the lion and plumber ship because the lion is just a big awkward nervous housecat when the plumber walks in the room and the plumber is surprisingly territorial like wow Bill, chill, Cohen's like this with everyone, hold your wrenches—

#long ask answer #rose rambles #this went everywhere like #aaaand there goes time to do my homework whoops #we are failing this uni folks #at least we'll have BillRyan #but no seriously this was like one of the first ships i indulged in in this fandom #can you tell y'all break my heart #because you do and i'm like yes tears give me more #andrew ryan #bill mcdonagh #also fucking disconnected as fuck

Heyo! I’m the anon that asked about being non-binary and using neo pronouns in French. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions!! I’m non-binary myself and I had absolutely no idea as to how my gender would translate in French. I’m really glad that there are pronouns and inclusive language even if it can be only used in small circles right now. I think it’s really cool that French feminists and queer people are creating their own ways of promoting gender equality in a language that has extremely strict gender rules and wording. I’ll definitely be using this info going forward!!

Happy to help 🥰

And yeah, so much queer/feminist joy when I'm surrounded by people who use inclusive language. It's both feeling seen and being able to experience progress in real time, it's an awesome sensation

#that's one of the reasons why i loved doing my master's #i was studying political science with a major in diversity and discriminations at one of the most leftist french uni #so everyone was feminist and intersectionnal in some way and lots of queer people as well #same thing for our teachers #it was common to write in groupchats in inclusive writing and lots of people wrote their homework this way #it was fucking awesome #i first started using inclusive language when i co-created a feminist student organization in my previous uni #and it felt really good to see people use iel and le point médian etc #i don't really use it in my regular life (it's just not a habit) but i'm always happy to read some #ask

#im losing patience with a teacher #we started off as just student and teacher - me and another classmate #we were kind to her because she's from another state and was completely new and knew no one and nowhere #so we eventually developed a friendship #but now she's requesting 'us' (and by 'us' i meant 'me') for advice or shit like that #and wants to hang out so often when we have so much homework (and a job and second uni in my case) #and if i refuse to listen to an EIGHT minute voice note #she double-texts me to prompt me to listen to it #and then says she has some issue or gossip and when we ask for the details she says 'nono ill tell you when we go for some coffee' #like DUDE #what's up with the clickbait??? #and then she wants advice even for every stupid shit including 'should i take a sweater to the movie theatere? what do you guys think?' #and perfectly googleable things she comes and asks us (we have a group chat) instead of just googling herself #i stopped being her fucking therapist because it's ridiculous #we were getting fucking nowhere because she only wants the attention but processes nothing and #never wants to do anything about the supposed problem she needed my help with #it's so exhausting #and how do you tell all this to someone without sounding like a monster? #personal

Damn I forgot how long it takes to make a good reclist. Between getting a good list tracking down all the fics writing all the relevant info and then a little comment if I have something to say, that stuff is time consuming

#the kylux list of fics i like is coming it's coming i am doing it #it's just that i've been at it for like 3 hours and i need some sleep #once that one is done i think i'll work more on the snarry list #cause that's been in the work for uh a year at least i think? #i just have sooooo many snarry fics to rec.... #like the kylux list is Something for sure but the snarry list is probably going to be longer #and let's not even talk about wordcount #that said i would make you thousands of reclists rather than write more essays for uni #oh how i wish teachers just accepted random fandom stuff as homework #why can they not be satisfied by a few unhinged paragraphs of me talking about aliens & sex with citations #says the girl who makes as many of the 'free subject/open subject' presentation she can into fandom stuff #(see my high school presentation on botw that got a 20/20 and my recent presentation on queeebaiting & ofmd) #anyway this is making me want to reread some kylux fics like damn #if nobody got me i know super fade is there. super fade i owe you so much. #or from the last whelming sea. or aural. or - listen the list will be finished tomorrow/overmorrow and you'll see #wow i have a ramble tag now #fandom nerdery

I think your uni(/state/country? I know in public Ohio unis the credit hour system is standardized) just has a very fucked way of determining credits per class

#logxx #At my uni the MAX amount of credits you can take at one time is 21 #The credit hours generally work as 1 credit per hour 'instruction' time per week #So if I attend an hour long lecture 3 times a week that's 3 credit hours #40 credit hours would mean spending as much time IN CLASS AT LECTURE (not even doing homework or lab or exp work) #As you would at a full time job

[rollingpenguin]

I should be offered a reward for not killing nor harming in any way anyone while I am on public transport. I deserve it a lot, considering how much mental strength i spend to simply contain feelings.

#Last train one dude sat next to me and I was reading articles for uni on my laptop #He asked me how I was and I replied not so good I'm doing homework which should be a clear enough hint that I don't want to converse right #Wrong #Dude kept trying to chat me up #Current train another dude is clearly in need of blowing his nose but for whatever reason he isn't doing it #He just keeps noisily sniffing with his obstructed nostrils #We are one meter away from the trains toilet go get Some toilet paper and blow your goddamn nose #On the first train I took this old lady in front of me kept coughing which would be okay... #Of only she had covered her mouth throughout the entire ordeal and not just for the first fraction of a second #YOU ARE STILL COUGHING ON ME LADY #I #Don't enjoy public transport

[anaesthesia-why]

had a dream where an old man who looked a bit like Lenin touched my forehead and said: "I see that... the guy destined for you MUST have blonde hair and blue eyes!" And I was like "haha I'm surely not ready for a relationship, much more with a blonde guy" and he just gave me a "kind" patronising look as if I'll change my mind soon or something.

#Gotta say I do not like most of the stuff Lenin did. So it's not like a political idol appearing in a dream #anaesthesia personal #anaesthesia_personal #Btw the only blonde blue-eyed guy I know is the one who accepted me into the science laser lab. He's 4.5 years older than me #The other blonde guy I know idk what color his eyes are but he's my exclassmate who often asked to copy math/phys homework #My relationship with the first one is and should stay professional (he's friendly but he sees me as a child /without patronising I think/) #Which is good. And the second one I avoid if I can since he goes to a diff uni and we met like once in the span of this year #So the dream is weird. Also sorry for being het on main #I know some crimes can never be forgiven but thought I'd share #Also this kind of dream after what I posted tonight about my pains and such?? All other dreams were light tonight as well. #Truly miraculous lol. I should go change my uni group today (no changing major or minor just the group) (we have no electives so the progra #Is solid on what we are taught) only like pe is elective. I'll go swimming if I find out what to do on periods

British people are still a mystery I've yet to solve. they're all "keep calm and carry on" even though this *gestures vaguely at everything* is a situation where it would be far more reasonable to freak out and put society to a standstill. but no British people are all "yeah i guess things COULD be better, but that sounds like WORK so we're not gonna" and it reminds me when I was on exchange in Scotland and the amount of homework was tiny compared to what I was used to from Germany and something something working attitude. i called out the brits for being lazy when i was 16 and in the many years since I've only been proven right time and time again

#the laziest of germans went to the uk and immediately became one of the most conscientious and hardworking #make it make sense #I'm a fucking slob by German standards but over here I've very rarely seen anyone work as hard as I do #uk #British culture #uk culture #English culture #though this is by no means an English exclusive #angry brits in my mentions in 3......2......1.... #i need a tag for my own rambles #funnily enough most of the ppl I've seen work as hard as i do #are usually not white and usually 1st/2nd gen migrants #H M M M M M M M M #i think homework is evil and i never used to do mine #until i went to Scotland and it took me all of 10 minutes? maybe half an hour for all my subjects combined #i was like clearly less home work is great but also. but also. #and then the unwillingness to work was echoed in class. at uni. in my workplaces #and especially where societal issues are concerned or collective action #you all fall into despair far to easily and way too many of you don't know how to do and handle real talk #too many of you will never acknowledge how you can be racist and profit from a racist society #too many of you will avoid confrontation until the literal only option you can see is cutting someone off #too many of you are just way too content in your misery
