#VERY bad at tests

[b4kuch1n]

good luck w the testing and a happy early new year!!

thank you it's already happened when this was sent but we all did get one free point for the listening section bc the audio fucked up and we didn't get to hear the part with the last question's answer. but I will now think this is luck borrowed from the future when this ask was sent

#bakuspeech #ask #I tweeted a storm inbetween the written competencies (morning) and the speaking test (afternoon) lmao #but its on my wretched personal acc so it's for me. it's just for me #I dressed. and this is not me being unkind to myself. like a mister bean character to that test. like I got a woolen suit jacket on #with the dress shoes of mismatched laces. AND Ive been bald recently #honest to gods can Not tell how well I did in the written tests. like I finished all of them with at least ten minutes to spare #but it's because they kept putting a giant timer on the projector screen and it scared me so bad. delf trauma #the content of the test itself I straight up. dont know if its any good #the thing with me. that u can probably tell by idk looking at me and hearing me talk and stuff. is that I speak english but I am #VERY bad at tests #which makes any formalized english testing for me extremely fucking funny #and like it's supposed to be in the same structure as an ielts set of questions and apparently that means #they kept asking me to confirm or deny that the author of the text agrees with the statements they got in the questions #and I was sitting there like okay you made me read about weird phrenology shit and then you ask me this?? like are we asking #textual or contextual or. how deep into the rhetorics are we talking here. cause two of these three authors are certified weirdos #(yes the reading segment had three texts. one was about physiognomy and how there was definitely a grain of truth in there #one was about tea - this is the inconspicuous one - and the last one was about the potentials of toxinology #with a general vibe of pseudomedicine zeal to its writing. it's probs from a family magazine or something) #so straight up yeah I can defend my quiz answers to a judge but that does Not mean it's gonna be the one on the answer sheet yknow #kinda the same with the writing segment. where like they gave me an extremely easy to expand on subject and then a piece of paper #the length of a receipt. and that just. I could NOT parse the expectation of that setup #like I saw that and was like. so do you want me to do it badly? or do it so excellently I deliver all I think in like 100 words or less? #cause I'm capable of one of those things and the distinction is important here #and like. yes I know it's a language aptitude test. they're looking to know if I speak english #and I Have done something like this before multiple times just with a different language. but that was. idk I have never had a ladder here #I know I speak the language. YOU can probably tell I speak the language. would this test's result reflect that? I don't know! #it's a baffling experience. I'm still thinking about it the day after. tldr it's really not about the english for me it's about the testing #it's so. it's reflected so clear in the listening test where I missed an entire question (other than the one they gave us for free) bc #my brain just noped out of my body for three seconds and when I yanked it back the tape's already moved on

BETTER CALL SAUL!

#this was mostly a test run on procreate dream! #its pretty good but it has a LOT of room for improvement #which i know the developers have been working on since the app is still technically in beta! #but hey i did this in like 3 weeks while working a full time job and also working on other art so #its pretty damn powerful software #good shit if you use procreate already!! #literally the biggest flaws rn are a lack of selection tool an undo/redo button and #and the app itself has a tendency to crash or slow down if theres “too much” going on #like i had to delete all but one of the preloaded animations just so the app would run smoother while i worked #so its still very clearly in its early phase but its good and im excited to see what the developers will do with it #ok review over #better call saul #saul goodman #bcs #jimmy mcgill #breaking bad #animation #brba #video #procreate dreams

Prompt 138

Danny squints up at the blurry form cradling him, brain trying to catch up with his situation. He can feel the pulse of his siblings’ cores nearby, gently pulsing contentedly despite the chaos of his last memories. His limbs feel too small and pudgy, too-small fingers gripping onto something as his vision started to clear. 

There was a man, holding him? Cradling his too-small form like he was an infant- was he an infant? He was pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to be, he had been older but now he wasn’t. He squinted up at the stranger, green eyes meeting green. Huh. They kind of looked like he could be their dad or something. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #league of shadows #Ras gets a trio of infants the first/second time he exits the Lazarus Pits #So very early Ras who semi recently lost his first wife #Phantom siblings are his first kids who keep him semi-sane #As far as Ras is concerned the Pits blessed him with his firstborn sons and daughter #Dusan Nyssa & Talia are grumbling whenever the trio come back home #”Ugh we don’t Want to do Family Time” #”Too bad it’s family time c’mon we brought you all presents” #Danny when Talia brings Jason home: Did you steal a child #Talia: Of course not brother but by chance would you convince Father to let the child stay #Bruce doesn't know about the trio because they were away while he was training with the league #They do know about him though- baby sisters first crush how cute! #Talia where did you get that test tube baby have you informed the other donor- TALIA #“We all know you three are the favorite children” #“No we aren't” #"Danyal you Daig & Eva can literally leave whenever you want as long as you call every week w can barely leave without him being overbearin #Daig means fire/flame #Eva means living & breathing

Something funny for your spy x family ASL au

Luffy took ONE look at loid and internally went 'oh sweet. He's a spy like sabo' and never brings it up while anya just stares at him horrified and like with ace and sabo, he just never brings it up.

This also happens with yor and anya makes a funny noise

(As i am typing this my dog has the zoomies and is running around like a maniac)

HAHA YEAH THIS WOULD DEFINITELY HAPPEN

I think loid’s a good enough actor that luffy wouldn’t figure it out immeditely from like just a few seconds of meeting him but give him a minute or a few and he’ll figure it out on vibes alone

#one piece #spy x family crossover #monkey d luffy #anya forger #the problem with writing luffy is I am very bad at writing him #I’m much much better at general like…… reasoning and rationale and so my writing style just does not mesh well with luffy #I don’t like that luffy seems so often to act as just a judge of character or human goodness litmus test #because while his judgement on who is good has been mostly correct up to this point it has also mostly been arbitrary #I think my excuse for luffy being able to tell so quickly in sxf crossover what secret identities people are hiding #mostly comes down to being more perceptive than people give him credit for and having ridiculous intuition #I don’t think he consciously registers clues or anything but I do think his brain catalogues a lot of details that come together eventually #so-called ‘vibes’ I guess #but yeah Anya has absolutely no clue how he’s doing it because he also has no clue how he’s doing it

#I imagined this happening to Arthur #it was funnier in my head tbh #hetalia #hws england #aph england #Drawing birthday art for England always brings me bad luck #this year was the emergency alert test and then getting horribly sick the very next day #the alert for me was a minute early i nearly shat my pants #my art

Are you still active on tumblr?

YES I am!! Sorry friends for dropping off the face of the earth, I got a job and I had to move and it was a lot. But I am less stressed now and I hope I can get back to posting more regularly!! I really missed it (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

I will never leave tumblr because there is no other place on the internet where I can tell people that 80% of the time when I try to introduce myself to someone in the office that I haven’t met yet I get so focused on smiling and holding eye contact that I forget the part where I actually have to introduce myself (°□°)

#HELLO FRIENDS #how are you!! I missed you! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ #I hope you all had a good summer!! #mine was very nice even though there was a lot of stress and new things happening #suddenly there were so many adult things in my life that at the end of the day I just sat on the couch and watched decorating shows #I love decorating shows but today they showed this decorating competition and one woman had to decorate her whole bedroom coral #and then I knew it was time to go back #friends I've done so many new things the past few weeks!! I've really underestimated what this new chapter of my life would be like #it's very nice and I'm glad but I've never thought about things like insurance and taxes and parallel parking before #and I'm in a new apartment and everything!! ✧⁺⸜(●′▾‵●)⸝⁺✧ #it is a very good apartment but the landlord left us so many of their chairs #this does not sound like a problem but we also owned chairs before #so our chair number is doubled now #the kitchen is full of chairs the balcony is full of chairs #I've hidden two chairs behind the TV but I can still see their chair heads and then I feel bad because they do not deserve this #they should be roaming free #also rode a BIKE #they say you never forget how to ride a bike #but my secret is that I never really knew how to ride one #in Germany all students have to do a bicyle test in fourth grade and I was so bad that my teacher asked me #afterwards if I had tried to confuse the other students #I just said 'uh yes' and then he said ok and I passed with the worst bicyle grade of the whole school #I hade made 8 bicyle mistakes #I hope you're doing well friends!! see you soon!! #have a nice day :)

Trying to figure out a base for chibi charms. -_-

With the sillies.

#gotham rogues #killer moth #scarecrow #jonathan crane #poison ivy #pamela isley #drury walker #mir doodles #i have been long resistant to using bases #(no hate to anyone who does this is very much a Me Thing) #everyone else is allowed to use them but if i use them its Bad #so im trying to not think that. to make working on merch faster. #i still want to do unique poses for merch but yeah this is a test #dc comics #dc

ok i get the desire to push back against annoying dominant christian interpretations of the torah/old testament. i really do. however i also wish that people would stop being like “actually, the jewish perspective on this is--” before listing off one (1) jewish perspective, usually either reform or humanistic, that also happens to be the most politically convenient and moral according to the standards of tumblr. like y’all if anyone tells you that there is only one jewish interpretation of something you should know that they are probably wrong, there’s at least one jew out there who would vehemently disagree with them, and also judaism is a complex living culture that you really should not put on a pedestal

#like. yes the binding of isaac can be interpreted as a test that abraham failed. that's one interpretation #discussed in some sects by some rabbis #however. #there very much are also jews who interpret it as #a sign that jews specifically must be ready to sacrifice anything for g-d #in order to hold up our end of the covenant #there are jews who interpret it in completely different ways as well #like i can't list out all of them because #i don't know them #and am not a theologian or rabbi or even all that observant #so my interpretation isn't going to be very helpful #but can we please not oversimplify judaism to present it as the Good Abrahamic ReligionTM #it's a complex living tradition with a whole wide range of different ideas #some of which i personally hate! #because that's culture for you! #the one exception to the 'one jewish belief on x' thing is like #messianics #we basically all do not like messianics #or like. We Generally Agree That Antisemitism Is Bad #but when it comes to biblical interpretation? #four jews twelve opinions #always #jewish things #something something leftist philosemitism

fanciful stories (you're way too good at this)

(that's not what it's about. being good at it)

#pokemon #swsh #champion leon #gym leader raihan #assistant sonia #three parts of a whole idiot #hi. this is mostly me testing just goin at it with ink again. its wonky but! thats not what its about! #thinking abt little boy... in the arena with a set of league uniform a size too big. winning because it's fun #leon truly is like a recurring nightmare I have. every other month I wake up in the middle of the night like oh shit leon pokemon #also reintroducing the dragonfly motif for raihan... I debuted it for leon but tbh? it fits raihan better #this is like magical girl to me. the image genre of using kids toys to do archetypal hero things #man. I really need to draw a very specific thing for gloria. leon may be in it but I want it to be for gloria #we'll see! Im so fucking sleepy rn #theres a feast to be made tomorrow. I need to lay down n save up my energy for cookin #have a good night lads! remember: making bad art is fucking awesome

[bugeyedfreaks]

I unfortunately can't find the poll about locaring the US-States, but it inspired me to do a poll about locating countries in the EU. We never had to learn the US states (obviously, I guess), but we did have to learn the countries at some point, so I'm really curious.

Take this Quiz to test how fast/correctly you can locate countries in the EU.

disclaimer: this is a first attempt test with no prep, so if you do poorly, don't feel bad. I find this site is a very helpful tool when it comes to learning where countries in general (or US states) are located, and if you're interested in it, you'll get better in no time! I promise! :) Knowing where certain countries are located makes it a lot easier to understand historical events, cultural influences and contemporary politics, which makes it useful and fun. This isn't a marker for intelligence and this poll isn't intended to be condescending or mean-spirited.

#btw I was incredibly bad at geography #I remember getting maybe 5 countries on that test because I hadn't been aware #that we'd be tested on them. it was awful haha. one of my core memories from school. #so trying to learn them now is really important to me to overcome that shame #BUT I still did poorly when I did it for the first time after a long break the other day. I got like 55% #the small countries by greece really did a number on me :( very shameful #BUT at this point I'm at a solid ~80%!!! I'm very proud of myself :) #edit: I did. it again just now and got 100%! :)))))) im very happy about that

I thought it might be interesting to share the process of making this particular piece...🥺

And yes, I do use both sides of the paper. *puts on sunglasses and flips canvas in traditional style*

#my stuff #yeah it's very messy #but i wanted it to be perfect ok? #also perhaps i put way too much effort and thought into it... but who cares when i just wanted to pour all the love and care into this #god you can see all the colour and material testing lmao #also which lines i wanted to use............ #well anyways i love seeing how other ppl do their stuff #and i just wanted to share in case anyone might be interested #the first page is literally just about finding the right reference ksfjgvndfkjvnjkd #i needed a pose to click with #and the rest is fairly... similar... #just detail perfecting ksjdnkjdfnvk #ok i'm done bye for the night #(god now i'M itching to draw... perhaps this weekend...) #(also i want to frame this so bad but haven't got around to that yet shame on me) #(i'm done i'm done i'm really done good night everyone!)

this is a little belated by I saw @dayinthedeath's discussion about who in torchwood is most likely to be spiderman and I needed to join in with this proposal: it's a team effort in united nerdy idiocy

#torchwood #owen harper #toshiko sato #tosh #ianto jones #spiderman #my art #they all actively enable each others bad decisions and i firmly believe that includes trying to make a biological web agent to swing from #what i want to know is who's dumb enough to test run it and ends up falling from the upper levels #they all have the brains to try to pull this off and not enough common sense to realize it's a bad idea #if i had to choose just one of them i'm team tosh sorry the thought of her as spiderman just makes my heart happy #but owen is the next obvious follow-up to me and he does admittedly have the snark that tosh is lacking #but i can very much see tosh and ianto accidentally talking themselves into this - first as a joke but suddenly very much Not As A Joke #and then owen inevitably gets drawn in when they go looking for biology advice #he acts like he thinks its a stupid idea but he is immediately way to invested in doing this #jack and gwen aren't told until it's too late #this feels like a sequel to my myfanwy-rider picture but i just treasure this potential dynamic
