why did my teachers think it was okay to give us like one single weekend to finish all of our midterm projects and study for our tests.

#slight vent #i have 3 projects and 3 tests #i’m halfway through my lit/history project and halfway through my psych project #and maybe a quarter done with my programming project #which is fucking insane btw cause how tf am i supposed to code a whole video game in like 3 days on top of everything else 😭😭😭 #and some things he hasn’t taught us and just thinks that we should just be able to figure out like HELLO???/?/// #I DONT HAVE TIME TO TEACH MYSELF NEW CODE #ITS THE MIDTERM/FINAL FOR THE CLASS?????? #and once the weekend starts i’ll have no one to trouble shoot my stuff and fix my bugs so literally i’ll be hopeless so 😭😭😭 #my calc teacher JUST finished teaching us everything we need for the midterm TODAY. THE MIDTERM IS ON WEDNESDAY. BRO. #my physics teacher doesn’t let us copy down any of our idk test questions or take our old assessments home to study #*old #so we get to look em over for like 20 mins and hand em back. which doesn’t exact fucking help me when i’m studying for the midterm. #WITH NO STUDY GUIDE. #my teachers even said that this years midterms are worse than previous years cause they’re all in a row instead of split by a weekend #we’ve had 2 delayed openings and 1 early dismissal this week which means we have less time to work on our midterm projects in class 😭😭😭😭 #i’m so overwhelmed i’m gonna explode #by the time i finish these projects i’m not gonna have anymore energy/time to study for my tests. WHICH IS THE HARD SHIT BTW.

...The subway commute today oh my god 😩

#ore no kao #so neat that the smallest things like a train's brakes being activated can cause massive delays here #whole ass 1hr15m to get to work on a normally 20-25min commute... #[i like that we got to 59th St and added 'sick passenger' to the mix #very first world problem ofc but c'monnn /vent #at least i look cute tho #the fall air had me in a good mood too 🥲] #can we pls get proper transit funding tho thx

*googling* how much is it okay to white out because I stood or sit up ? Just a little bit of whiting out ? Like a few times a day ? Just like a couple dozen ?

#its almost always a little delayed too so i never remember to account for it #i stand up walk for a good 30 seconds and then cant see or breathe for a bit. as you do #does not pair well with the sudden and random unbearable nausea tho lemme tell you #i love when like. my meatsuit had clearly just decided to hit the fuck it button and cause me random misery forever #...also got no sleep due to it being impossible to find a position laying down that doesnt let my knees bend backwards #sigh. anyway. its whatever. at least the nausea is consistent enough that i know just like. not to eat period. #nothing worse than throwing up chips or something really spicy bc you werent expecting to throw up #but id love a break from the whole. having a body and it wants to die. thing. #chronic illness #complaining

do you have any fi headcanons? what is she?how was she created? how does ghirahim feel about her? can be tmm or game headcanons c:

I'll do TMM headcanons!

I'll be honest in that Fi hasn't gotten very fleshed out yet because my AU has her still mostly dormant within her sword. The only appearance of her so far has been when Link is struggling in Roostburrow and needs someone to talk to, but she's unresponsive.

As for what she is and how she was created, she is extremely similar to what Ghirahim is in this AU - born a mortal, but then bound to a sword later on.

I've mentioned in the Magicka and Musicka lore post that one can bind a soul to a conduit to increase it and the soul's power. But it's an incredibly painful and difficult process, both to bind or to unbind oneself to a conduit. Though on the surface one may recover, there can be permanent damage done to a person who undergoes this.

The Goddess Sword is one such conduit, and Fi was soulbound to it in the distant past when in her early-mid teens. Before doing so, I imagine she was an Apprentice Priestess in service to Hylia (and I'm leaning Sheikah for her). I think she would have been extremely book smart in her previous life, given her intelligence in the game - maybe that's why she was a good candidate as a guide for the Chosen Hero. Giving her life to the sword to aid Hylia in fulfilling that prophecy would have been seen as a divine duty and great honor. But undergoing that process may have drastically changed her ability to express emotions.

Ghirahim feels sorry for her, but in a superior sort of way. He thinks his side of this ancient feud is much more noble and moral than Hylia's. He expresses that a bit here in Ch07, where he mentions thinking of her as a child soldier.

He can't fathom someone as young as Fi undergoing the ritual by choice, but fails to see that his choice to do the same in allegiance to Demise is just as ethically complicated.

Thank you for the ask!

#sorry for the delay i rEALLY WANTED TO DRAW THINGS but realized i was pretty busy #and wanted to at least answer instead #same thing with the Fledge response lmao #ill add doodles and such later on :] cause i want to draw how she may have looked in the past #answered ask #demon tribes au #fi #skyward sword fi #loz au #lore #ghirahim #skyward sword

Uh… sorry about your boyfriend. He was bitten by a spider… yeah, we had to amputate his leg… But we also taught him how to swim and fight to the death; he’s a pro at it!

#Okay I’ll say the name of this movie; it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be (block if it disturbs you): #tusk (2014) #Forewarning you: It’s fucked up… but not as bad as TETSUO in my opinion. This one is at least lighthearted… #aside from the main actor’s gut-wrenching screams (good god) #body horror tw #At some point a movie becomes so disturbing that it reverses polarity and you can’t take it seriously #The directors knew this and used it to make a horror comedy film… that you can actually take seriously #It worked beautifully #You have this jerk who jokes about others’ trauma (including losing a leg and cultural genocide for instance) #And by the end of the film; he himself has lost both legs and has become the victim to cruel human experimentation #And when his jokester friends come to his aid; none of the people they ask for help take it seriously #And the whole thing started because this guy wanted to exploit the victim of a freak accident for views #for his horribly insensitively-named podcast #And he didn’t get help in time because he cheated on his girlfriend which caused her to cheat on him #which then caused her not to pick up the phone when he called for help until the next morning because she was with his costar #And help was delayed also because of the name of his podcast being an atrocity no one wanted a part of #ough… yes… haha… YES. #Play stupid games; win stupid prizes — The Movie #Wonderful #Glorious #whoever played the villain really made the movie… he was perfect #and I loved how they introduced the characters and their intentions by doing asides (is that the correct term?) #Clean work #AND by finding the movie (and the post-credits meta podcast banter) funny; you yourself are laughing at someone’s trauma #so the universe might pay YOU back

ngl every single time my manager shouts at me i just fuck off for like half an hour then proceed to do nothing for the rest of the day and i probably shouldn’t but no one has yet like. said anything about the matter

#its awkward bc i was in fact correct & i need to do the thing she was shouting at me about #but i don’t actually want to have a fight #if i delay it for like 2 days i can have this exchange via email instead of in person u know #they truly do not pay me enough to care like my coworker and i were just discussing getting second jobs on top of this like. #full time career position. but its going to cause so many problems down the line

I am very excited to do this again!!

#spice.ososan #spice.txt #spice.party #new tag alert for watch and draw parties #also * is bc i have to pick up my roommate from work at 6:30 then take them to the grocery store cause i promised #i wanted to give ample space but shit happens sometimes so it COULD be later #but i will keep everyone posted if something happens and itll be delayed #but its happening #but im also genuinely sorry i dont have an alternative to hyperbeam #every other streaming thing wont tell me if theres a limit #and also i feel bad making every one switch to something different?? #uueehhhh

@shellcrack continued from here

"'You don't have to'" Lance repeats through a bitter laugh and shakes his head. He knows he's being a dick about it. Unnecessarily so. Excessively so lately. But it's become a force of habit by now. A defense mechanism. Easier.

"Oh I hate it when people say that. Because yah. I don't have to do anything."

Ah. There it is. The exact point, the reason why statements just like this one make him so angry in the first place. Because of that time back in there, when this hadn't been so easy at all. Not doing anything he didn't want to. Funny how survival at its utmost basic state could do that to you. He takes a deep breath, tries to get his shit together a bit more because at the end of the day he knows, no hopes, that she's only saying this because she wants to help instead of forcing him into anything.

Well. At least she's withdrawing that hand all by herself, which makes it seem like she's picked up on the fact that he's pretty tense whenever touching is involved these days. Seems to respect his need for some space, some distance. In the end though and just like any fucking time, conscience comes knocking. Makes him feel bad no matter how justified he finds his reaction, his words. So he lets out a little sigh. Angry grimace on his face softening up ever so slightly as he ends up giving her a little frown. Curious at last.

"What 'things' are we talking about anyway" he genuinely wants to know, only to give her another soft snort. "This thing?" the former TV host goes on, wiggling the smartphone in his hand. It's a fairly new one. One which he might've snagged off of someone, in need for some access to the internet out here on the road. Since apparently, mobile phones can do just that now. Well, other people's phones could. 'His'? Not so much. Constantly glitching out, just like right now. The source of his frustration.

Maybe she does have a point after all.

"Suppose you're right about that" he says out loud, tries his best with the thing by shaking it some more, tapping at the screen with no luck(why the fuck did they get rid of the buttons??) Then, finally, reluctantly, after quite a while, Lance offers her the phone. He doesn't say it outright. That he can't handle this thing in particular after all. Not after the speech he's just given her. But still. The gesture says it all.

"So I guess what you're saying is that this thing's broken, right? Wouldn't happen to have one I could use?"

#shellcrack #miriam tag pending #he made me do it : possessed #lance : possessed by time and space bending mess of a thing that he KNOWS causes hella tech interference #lance : wHY isn't ThE InterNET working on this thing #also lance : hasn't been in contact with newer post 2003 tech yet #thus sure as shit does not know how to handle stuff himself #I gOT iT cOvERED #also conveniently makes this talk about the phone though he knows this is about something else entirely #aka the fact that he can't handle a whole truckload of things these days lmao #anyway #sorry about the delay and long reply skdfjsk #also sry about him being a douche intially as always #he does that #he'll get there

After too many years here I've final what hornets' nests I am not brave enough to kick

#m/cc #thought about making a certain post and decided... no... I would rather not #I am not prepared for responses to that. it might actually kill me #specifically it was: #'going gluten/dairy/food dye-free CAN improve certain neurodevelopmental things but it cannot 'cure' autism/ADHD/Tourette's' #I already know I'd get vitriol both from people claiming I think autism comes from gluten or 'needs cured' because they can't read the post #and that I'm trying to trick everyone into going gluten-free because Toxins or something and lying about a connection #(even though (neuro)dev disorders can be made worse by flaring immune issues like - oh I don't know - undiagnosed gluten intolerance? #hypersensitivity to certain food dyes? #we already know autism and ADHD in particular have HUGE correlations with gastro and immune issues #which is why some mommy bloggers genuinely do see symptom improvement from diet changes) #and from people saying 'um actually no-gluten DID cure my nephew's ADHD?? the science is on our side/big gluten is covering up the research #and I don't know if I could handle dozens of people per day telling me I'm a science denier AND a eugenist from both sides #I am simply.

God Frost just keeps getting worse

#i swear i love primarina this one is just a biiiitch #she started off fine but now shes like. basically a power tripping asshole who only really cares about herself and her image #also decided that what she did to get valerie taken from her was not just her unchecked spiraling grief pushing her at her lowest #but like. an intentional thing to attempt to stave off suspicion. her ex just got arrested for murder and now shes pregnant #and everyone knew she was hanging around them and can piece together who the sire is. but if she... messes with the timeline so to speak... #then sure- she'll get questions- but itll be harder to pinpoint flamberge as the sire.... #sure- isolating an egg and delaying the hatching can cause issues. shes seen it with felicity- but what is there that frost cant handle? #besides... think of the looks she would get. ''it must be so hard for you frost... youre such a wonderful mother for taking care of him.''

inktoberrrr meaning/explanation under the cut hehe

yeah so this is kinda obviously based off my dreams, i picked the more cool/interesting ones because who wants to see "im late" 50 times that's not cool top left: this IS another one of me being late, but different. at some point throughout the dream, i managed to understand that the times on clocks made no sense, and somehow breached the understanding of me being in a dream? but the really weird part was, i didn't FULLY- i was still INSIDE the dream, it just became part of the plot of my dream that i was in a dream. very strange. bottom left: this is based off a very cool one i had about being in a foreign country that got bombed, and not only was this terrible, there was some sort of apocalyptic event that was triggered and caused these ENORMOUS beasts that were black and had purple details to show up. additionally the dragons from totk were there, not sure if they were benevolent or not. top right: they executed these people by burying them up to their necks in the ground and leaving them there :/ bottom right: i was running through this hotel hallway where i was staying, after going through this sequence about a witch that was haunting us. one of the doors was covered up with a sheet, but i could just sense that in the blackness behind the drape, the witch was there, waiting to get us bottom right panels: bottom: this ex-president guy who showed up at mass and tried to high five people but they just wanted to handshake. top: bullets from the people that were trying to assassinate said guy. middle: the grass outside which is where we ran

The bookmark tag was #holder until i think of a tag for these asks but To Be Real even I forgot what it was...

BUT YEAH thanks so much for reading and I'm glad it's :] Intelligible At Least :] obviously I would be up for reading anything that came to mind after putting you and your followers through All That but understandable... A lot of people I've shown the checklist items or pointed out specific behaviors to have actually said similar [i.e. I'm In This Picture And I Don't Like It], so I totally get what you mean, too!

I think a lot of my picks wound up being generalized trauma responses/aftereffects of abuse or neglect [hence I meandered off into just talking about Jo's father half the time], so I guess it's to be expected a lot of them don't read as being CSA-specific or are broadly relatable; it's not like he's supposed to be read that way, after all. I just wasn't able to zero in on many of the more specific ones because I've Never Seen Jo In This Situation Chief I Don't Know What He Thinks About His Name Or His Body Or Mirrors Or Sex Or Affection I Don't Know How Well Or Poorly He Sleeps [Presumably Poorly Though He Has The Second-Reddest Eyes In The Whole Game]

I don't really think I'll have anything to add though unless Infinite Wealth goes off the rails or I actually continue reading the book... so that will have to do... I originally was just riffing on RGGJo's attachment issues, self-destructiveness, and specific entwinement of sexuality/aggression/romance, and his portrayal in my fic lined up pretty closely, so I thought it'd be interesting to apply the same lens to Y7Jo...

But Yeah x2 thank you for the opportunity to talk about it and I'm Glad It's Intelligible At Least x2

THANK YOU i really should change that tag to something better... <- i will immediately forget to do so like a jackass

BUT YA OF COURSE OF COURSE i was truthful when i said it was a real good read (but once again. i have -5 speech skills so i can't properly word SHIT) and was a thorough examination of jo's trauma and how it manifests in him and how it's exhibited through his actions. ALWAYS a big fan of that :)

#snap chats #IN REGARDS TO Jo In Situations that is. VAGUELY my specialty #ive at least thought of jo's attitudes towards affection/relationships #and i Do Not Think he sleeps AS adequately as he should whether it's due to just. Overworking or #If I May Dare To Think he might be prone to night terrors #the Danger Zone of me thinking of Jo In Situations that dont have a lot of background is that i end up projecting a LOT of my issues LMAO #i dont know what it says about me when a lot of those issues seem to fit him #i do try my best NOT to over project of course i try to keep everyone relatively in the bounds of believability to their charas #which is why its funny when i do end up doin a lil projection it works out. Apparently #not sure i could do the same when it comes to jo's POV on his name and body tho. i hate those things bout myself for uh #VERY different reasons LMAOO tho i could imagine jo harboring some feelings of. hm. whats the word. #not Total Disgust But Some and Some Agitation whenever he has to acknowledge he exists outside of being a tool. To Put It Bluntly #cause we know he sees himself as a tool in some aspects- a bullet more specifically. so i can imagine instances where he has to Be A Human #its just. Ew Whats That LMAO YK WHAT I MEAN i do. i know what i mean. mirrors are evil #SORRY IM RAMBLING i shouldnt be.. i got gameritis <- i fucked up my wrists playing sonic riders somehow and it hurts to move #point is i very much enjoy thinking of jo and i enjoy looking at him through a multitude of lenses so AGAIN #thank you much for writing in :] im sorry i have three jewel beetles and a cicada shell for a brain #i am always interested in reading what you have to say tho... cant stress that enough.. #truly curious for how jo will be in infinite wealth now that he Doesnt have to be a bullet anymore. what are you like my guy.. lemme see.. #now pardon me while i fuck up my wrists more. i do not want to do my job today (i will soon im just delaying the inevitable. as a treat)
