#I only answer smart questions

[andsotheuniverseended]

Orimar Vale sir if you happen to be free any night this week i would love to discuss sensory overload and the pursuit of escaping the limits of humanity to become a story that will never die with you

#Universe Ends Posts #Campaign: Skyjacks #im still like 30 episodes behind but gods i LOVE Orimar SO much #like not only is he a man who when faced with the VERY complex question of what will happen to the power he amasses after he dies #answers with 'well i shall simply never die. i will in fact continue to exist forever so it wont be a problem' #but he's also GOOFY and SWEET and has a Weird relationship with his BODY #and he has a pet hummingbird that he loves and one time he told someone to kneel down to him as king and that was HOT #genuinely just. iconic moves all around??? Orimar is all hits no misses got me truly obsessed #kinda guy who is both so incredibly smart and also incredibly silly and also incredibly intimidating and regal #he has the RANGE Orimar Vale can do it ALL #thank you mx nathan for this GIFT

Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan

During the review meeting for the Kobiashi Maru, Kirk needles Saavik hard with another impossible situation, with interesting results

I must note: spock wonders afterwards if Kirk intentionally gave this scenario due to saavik's past, but it also echos Kirk's struggle with the Tarsus IV massacre

Both of these can be described as "lifeboat ethics," which is a real thing!

#'rickoverian paradox' is apparently not a real thig either #kirk wanted to sound smart i think lmao #saavik you should tell this to the police i think its something they need to hear #star trek #books #tos #the original series #kirk #exerpt #star trek tos #movie novelization #the wrath of khan #twok #saavik #also - i know saavik had a different actress in twok but all i can see when i read this is the adorable long/curly haired saavik of tsfs #sorry not sorry shes so cute #everyone else gives boring answers to the 'what would you do differently' question #saavik is the only one to say she would change nothing #and when kirk (an authority figure) questions her choices she doesnt back down #very impressive indeed

ok folks this lives and dies between us but i swear to god with every passing moment and every new fact i learn i am more and more convinced that had i spoken portuguese at age 11 when i got into minecraft youtube the first time i would BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT have had a tiny little baby 11 year old celebrity crush on pactw

#qsmp #pactw #qsmp pac #cute? check. funny? check. smart? check. #did a roleplay series; does funny minigames; MAKES funny minigames #like shit dude if i hadn't worked extremely hard to draw extremely thick lines separating myself mentally from content creators i might now #but i've beat myself over the head with the 'being parasocial only ends up with your favs going to jail' stick #i'm cured. no more unnecessary mental turmoil for me #anyway this is secret shhhhh #shut up vic #block game brainrot #like i don't know how he did during the legendary rp serieses he did back then but holy MOTHER OF PEARL he's an amazing rp'er now #this is not a controversial statement and if you think it is meet me behind the chili's and prepare to forfeit your teeth #question; in brazil what restaurant/food joint/location is the designated brawl zone #like usa tends to be waffle house or chili's or denny's or like. a cracker barrel if you're feeling wild #if you're a brazilian inviting somebody to fight you irl as a meme what do you tell them #(if you are not brazilian but read these tags and want to answer with your unique location go for it i love learning) #long tags #i should be asleep tbh but my brain is like 'heeheehee 2012 never left us <3' #gnight friends like this post if you too would have had a celebrity crush on pactw at age 11 or would theoretically have one at age Now lmao

Blade compared the relief from pain death brought him to the moments spent with his friends drinking together.

His desire for death as both a release from pain and from the condition of existence in which he finds himself now, so similar to that which he most hated (hated so much as to dedicate his entire life and self to fight, up to the point of crossing unthinkable barriers for shortlife species); but death also almost like a returning to the time that was, the joy and pride it brought him, and the friends and self he lost

#I have my qualms with this quest. I have them #But man. Man. I love him #They didn't have to make him such a good character. It could have gone wrong so easily with what they were doing #But I do love him very much #Yingxing the arrogant man the bashful teen and the stuttering kid. But haughty and determined and defiant at every stage #How smart and skilled and proud. How ambitious and revengeful too #I was going to talk about Jingliu and Dan Feng but I won't haha I may do later on #I don't know... I feel my chest so warm and so cold at the same time. I guess it's the fondness and the grief haha #I'm rambling though and I actually want to find this idea #Fragments and scraps #Yingxing #Blade #I've been told I can set the blog to private and that way I won't have the problem of throwing my posts in the general tag unwillingly #There's only one post I've wanted people to interact with and to this day no one has answered my question anyway #So I should consider that. It may be the best choice before half the HSR blogs block me for being annoying #I want to he able to find art and gifs haha #When I say 'life and self' I mean that not only did he dedicate his entire life to it on a temporal dimension #but he forged himself initially for this goal. Everything he was able to achieve he did by means of the skills he developed for this end #And that is what gave him the chance to craft a position for himself in the Xianzhou culture that looks down on shortlife species #His position as Huaiyan's apprentice‚ as a craftsman of the Zhuming‚ the Furnace Master‚ a legendary blacksmith and a hero‚ #and thus even I imagine his position as a civilian human man living in the Xianzhou without being looked down‚ all comes from that goal #With all that weighting on the matter the fact that he became that which he hated and lost his ability to craft #because of the chance to bring someone back from the death becomes even more poignant especially if we take Baiheng to be #the condition of possibility of that being he crafted taking place‚ due to little Yingxing not losing his drive and hope #And Jingliu asked them why they committed such a sin. He doesn't know what to say and knows she doesn't care #'I longed to be able to accept it‚ and I do not say I have not tried'‚ from Ovid. As Hozier puts it‚ 'the choiceless hope in grief' #I'm running out of space but I adore that these three people unmade themselves because of this. I think in Dan Feng's case there's also #a longing for a making in the unmaking process‚ that breaking free from the High Elder cycle that so tormented him and robbed him #from himself. The parallels both in similarities and oppositions between Jingliu‚ Blade (or Yingxing) and Dan Feng are so good #But I've run out of space and I wanted to save my thoughts on that somewhere else anyway. The Jingliu/Blade/Jing Yuan/Yanqing ones too

One of my funniest remembered things from highschool is how in English class I was one of those kids who was infamous in socratic seminars/any kind of debate we had for being too good at hitting points/covering everything and there was another kid who was exactly like me and the one time my teacher made the mistake of putting us together we wouldn’t shut up so she had to separate us for the rest of the year

#I did my best to let other people talk and I specifically tried to include people I knew were very smart and wanted to talk but were just #…really shy. So I tried to prompt people like that on occasion #But sometimes we would hit a question that I just got so excited about and my notes for my answer were like a whole page and a half of stuff #I just got very passionate about Discussing Things lol #And to be clear we weren’t like super argumentative with each other we just got Really into our discussions and my teacher was like this #would be Fantastic! If you two were the only ones at the table. But we do have to make room for like 6 other people to speak so Please

[billfarrah]

I care because Nurbo has absolutely fuck all to do with YR. So why is he included in with the likes of Frida, Samuel, Fabian, Xiao, Lisa , etc etc etc. there is no reason for it. I think you know this Shannon. You seem like a smart person.

It's literally just a compilation of people's tweets. It's really not that serious, I promise you.

#ask #also there were plenty of other comments from people who had nothing to do with yr so #the fact that ur only making a big deal about nurbo is #interesting #idc about nurbo in the slightest im just questioning why its such a big deal that his comment was included in a post LOL #also i answered this and wasnt paying attention at all coz its not that serious so i said tweets but it was insta comments wasnt it #oh well #maybe im not a smart person

Week 2 of exams done one more week babyyyy ;)

#in one more week I’ll be done and chilling ;) #so updates #paper 1 chem was really nice #ocr a is being really nice year which is great to hear #BUT #they only gave one sheet of extra paper in the back #my guy at least put two 😭😭 #I had to use the extra paper that is very fancy 🎩 #but I’m hopping I did the added writing correctly #but finished the paper with quite a bit of time to spare to check #someone also asked me a question before the exam and I felt so smart like thanks for putting your trust into me 😭😭 #maths paper 2 was rough ngl #probably my least favourite exam so far #I ran out of time which isn’t great but looking at it positively and hoping the stuff I was able to answer is all correct #tbh I didn’t have loads of question left which is good #and bio paper 2 which was today #I was really hyped with energy for no reason but it also was a pretty nice paper #once again ocr proving to be the superior exam board #I had probably the most amount of time left one this one and the 6 markers were also really nice one was a gap fill #which I wish was just asking to actually write the process because it’s easier to visualise in my own words #but like before the exam I was giving a quick overview on some stuff to people which didn’t come up which I’m sad about #since the topic is really nice #also one of the invigilator took her shoes off in exam and whenever you’d put your hand up she’d be like put them back on and it was funny #I also was sat at the front and put my hand up and the invigilators were stood like two desks down talking and didn’t see me and I’m like 🙃 #gatherrambles #gatherbeingstudious #gatherstudies #g/alevels #also I’m ill rip :/ #which affect my studying motivation :(

HELLO i have internet again (fun fact: i was without internet for a WEEK. idk how anyone can survive without unlimited access to cat pictures and the answers to questions like why aren't there microwaves that make things cold but i didn't and i'm actually a ghost now. spooky!) anyway here are a bunch of lirens :v i may have posted them here before. except the first one which is from lvl36~

#wipart #sketch #actually most of these are real lineart :v #also i did use my precious data (rip) to google the microwave question and i think?? they do exist but the article didn't say how they work #and there were a bunch of stupid answers first and i was like okay that's enough idc anymore #like they were all “oh bc microwaves can only make particles more active” YEAH IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A LITERAL MICROWAVE #a machine that makes things cold in like 40 seconds #basically #just the kind of answer that's like “i don't know but i want to sound smart so i'm going to be condescending”

Can I cancel you for not paying 100% attention to my ask ☹️

YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN I AM SO SORRY 😭

#man😭😭😭 JUST TO BE CLEAR it's not like i knew i wasn't paying attention 😭😭 #it's something that happens sometimes i go tunnel turbo 😭 it's giving me flashbacks to my maths teacher sophomore year #'she's so smart she could get straight As if she'd stop only half answering all the questions because she doesn't read them correctly' #i thought i had burned that in the past 😭 #asknootfound

why do ppl expect chemists to have the entire periodic table memorized??????

#as if we have time for that lmao??? #every time there's a chemical element question a hint is the number they're like expecting me to just spit out the answer agjslhl #sure i know hydrogen and helium an calcium by heart but that's honestly abt it #i remember where they approximately are but i forget how many rows and colums there are sometimes #in the transition metals section #and that messes up trying to figure out where which numbers are #in uni we didn't learn the 20 first epements by heart like we did in middle school #but we learned abt which characteristics change in which direction in the table #suprise suprise we were always allowed to use the table printed out during exams when it was necessary #pub quizzes and trivia is another thing #i could learn it for that but i've never bothered #sorry i just get annoyed at it algkg #today someone said they didn't expect me to get the answer wrong #and tbh i only got the answer wrong bc i forgot they asked the 19th element (it wasn't in the question but they gave it as a hint #and i was thinking abt the forst 20 elements we learned in middle school and i knew the 20th was calcium and i was just so focused ln that #that i forgot they asked the 19th aglkslj #so im SORRY i disappointed all lf you aglksj #i have never claimed to be smart but everyone expects me to know everything to do with chemistry...... #as if i expect my geographer friends to know every fucking flag or country by the outline..... #god what an essay alhkdöj #this didn't end up in my notes app after all #i actually wanted to vent akhksj

I know there's gotta be a Georgette Heyer on there but I don't know which. The Grand Sophy? Frederica?

alas, there is no Georgette Heyer! she's a great author for the genre "romance" because she balances all the ingredients in a rom-com perfectly, but she isn't always especially romantic, ya feel? if there was one on the list it would be Frederica, though!

#I don't remember either book in enough detail to answer the questions! #*wailing emoji* #I think what we're learning is I don't know ANYTHING about stuff I've only consumed once #it's on the third or fourth go-round that I actually start to be smart about things lol #ask game

a couple of girls on the playground today were asking me if i was married, if i was ever going to get married, and one of them said “do you want to be an old cat lady?” and i replied “well i wouldn’t mind it,” completely forgetting that old cat lady is a mocking trope of single women after a certain age, and then she said “don’t you wanna be a bae?” and i was like oh yeah sure. i thought you meant would i like to have cats. yes i would.

#that was very aro of me #to the question 'are you going to get married' i always answer 'if/when i meet someone i want to marry' #ive said it before (in a tag rant im sure) that i do kind of envy the stability/commitment that the institution of marriage has. it's hard #to picture myself getting more and more in my adult years and having only myself to rely on. financially emotionally etc. #i would love to live with someone i love for the rest of my life and even legally marry them. i just dont know how/if that'd ever happen #those kids dont know what aromanticism is and im not in the business of explaining my deeper feelings/conflicts to them. lol #tales from diana #also that girl who said it said it somewhat as a joke and i dont blame her for. you know. making that comment. i know she likes me a lot #she has told me im pretty and she often asks if i have a boyfriend etc. im basically the only one she talks to. shes the grade 5 on thursday #im sure when i tell her im not seeing anyone she doesnt see it as something pathetic but i do make sure to stress that it's about the person #moreso than the status of being in a relationship. #at that age you don't know the difference very much #and this fifth grader has told me before that she has her first little boyfriend. (this is all stuff she's disclosed not that ive asked abt) #(but i will listen to of course if a child is bringing it up & wants to talk about their life w a trusted adult) #and she says theyve only like held hands and theyre mostly just friends. that was a relief to me. #shes also mentioned to me that another boy in her class asked her out and she said no (bc of the boyfriend) #and of course she's going into middle school next year. so. to her this is a very formative time to be thinking about herself in that sense #as a person who wants/pursues romance. which i THOUGHT i was when i was her age (though i never had a boyfriend or any male attention then) #i trust her i think she's very smart. but she's YOUNG y'know so it's not her fault she's got all these mixed messages from media and culture #these things are becoming more important in her life so i'm glad to be a representation of Being Cool & Older & Mature wo needing a bae #not that i think im making THAT big of an impact on her. but you know. i never knew a cool girl in her early 20s when i was 11 #who repeatedly told me nothing about her love life & only said no every time i asked if she had a partner. #i think had i seen that. i would've felt more ok w being perpetually single as a tween/teen lol. #or maybe not. a lot of my insecurity came from the fact that nobody ever explicitly asked me out etc. idk. whatever #miss diana is so cool. i'm gonna miss fifth grader though when she graduates. i only have one thursday left w her :''''''''(
