one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

#writeblr #i was doing a lot with high school students. over and over again #other teachers kept asking me what i was doing differently - why the kids listened to me. i am not particularly foreboding #and i have a pretty firm personal policy of never reacting in anger #godhelpme. #i was always kind of taken aback #because in general the kids were pretty easy. i explained i needed to keep everything “PG-13” because this was my workplace #and it was kind of their workplace #too. besides #i love swearing #and since i couldn't swear #neither could they - so if they were going to say “fuck” or become violent #they needed to choose a really specific time #because we only get “the one”.. sure enough - nobody wanted to waste the one very specific “fuck” utterance. kids listened. #i think just because - that rule makes sense. the kids understand that i don't want to be unfair to them #that censorship is stupid #but that i'm under these rules too so like let's ride it out together #also i look young and tbh between me and u nobody wants to make the nice english teacher cry #the way these kids defended me to their friends was really genuinely so heartwarming bc the Grouchy Frat Boy #would be like MISS RAQUEL DOESN'T DESERVE THAT KIND OF AN ATTITUDE BRO DON'T TALK BACK TO HER

I’m sure I’ve said this but Penelope Scott “Feel Better” is so c!Tubbo it’s actually insane.

#i think i might have died there twice and i would do it all again... im a nihilist a soldier an ocd machine... LMANBERG TRAUMA!!! #i guess i really loved you and now youre over there and im way over here what am i gonna do... EXILE TRAUMA! #i was worth something i fucking earned something i had a right to live a right to die a right to choose too... NEEDING TO FEEL USEFUL! #i dont wanna get over it id give anything to miss you again... REPRESSION OF EMOTIONS! #HE DOESNT MISS HIS DEAD LOVED ONES BC THEY ALWAYS COME BACK AND HE CANT AFFORD TO LET HIMSELF GRIEVE.! #all my filthy life i loved someone i barely knew... HE BARELY EVEN KNEW CRANBOO.! #DO YOU HEAR ME IS ANYONE THEREEEEEE #IF I COULD DRAW ID MAKE THE MOST SOUL CRUSHING ANIMATIC...... #doodle.txt

#i feel like the 'multiple of these' option is too easy but i had to include it #only because you can't make me choose between my scene and bratz those shaped my childhood #dolls #barbie #also as stated i'm sorry if i missed a really popular one i'm kind of old ?? like even monster high got popular after i grew out of dolls #which tbh if they were a thing when i was a kid i would have loved them #liv dolls may seem a little random but my little sister loved them so i put them their in her honor <3

What do you think about gojo ships

I feel like I'm pretty indifferent to most of them. This is super cringe of me, but whenever I fall super in love with a character I don't often like shipping them romantically with anyone. 💀 (im delusional I know)

It doesn't help that for some reason the jjk fandom (especially twt) is weirdly aggressive about ships. I know it isn't all the shippers and it's mostly just the loud minority, but seeing so much of the discourse has kinda put me off and I don't really engage much with the ships in the fandom except for rarepairs and selfships bc alot of the time those communities are more wholesome and cozy (if that makes sense LOL)

#satofie best ship #andnajdjskdjksnfksndjdj im sorry im cringe 😔😔 #anyways i honestly have no idea #its not even about not liking seeing him with others bc i enjoy seeing other ppls gojo × oc/selfships #i just for some reason dont really vibe with any of the existing gojo ships in the series #weirdly enough if i had to choose one i feel like sukugo is the most interesting one LOL they are so funny with eachother #i feel like in a different life they really couldve hit it off #i feel bad for gojohime shippers sometimes #like i personally dont like the ship but oh my god ppl on twitter are so mean about that ship i dont even know why ??? #is it bc alot of them prefer him shipped with a guy ?? or they dont like seeing another woman that isnt them with him?? i dont know #but i see so much hate for it and it makes me sad bc like just move on or mute the account so u dont have to see it if you really hate it #the amount of times ive seen some big jjk account qrt a fanart dissing the ship while also getting more likes than the artists post is craz #why do ppl fight over fake people kissing....... #i remember this one account specifically that was obsessed with gojo but they were so snobby about it and like gatekeeping other fans #and they really hated gjhm and for some reason felt the need to make it into a problematic ship instead of just saying #i dont like this and moving on #but they made this whole thing abt how toxic they actually are bc utahime hates gojo #only to (in the same thread) gush over their fave ship which was nanago #and i felt crazy bc its......literally the same dynamic what #like am i missing something ????? #anyways this got a bit wild but pls be nice to eachother and respect eachothers ships #you dont have to justify why u dislike a ship you can just not like it #no need to turn it problematic

#911 lone star #tk strand #carlos reyes #tarlos #tk/carlos + touch #this is the final installment!! (until season 4 woohoo!) #none of these moments were in the actual show - all were from promotional material instead (which is why the quality isnt as good on some) #I'm choosing to call this BONUS MATERIAL! #I love the head kiss and I understanding the editing choice for the transition in the final cut but oooh man I really wish that had stayed #its been fun doing thiss!! this was a fun project to get me back in the swing of making gifs before the new season #my gifs #if there's any moment of physical touch you think I missed or overlooked in this series let me know - I went through all the episodes... #...but you never know! maybe you caught something I didn't and I'll add it in somehow later lol #or tell me your favorite! that sounds fun too #tarlos & touch

it's weird how jhope is Right There and he's like the Most Talented Person but some armys just. don't see him. should be studied

#if you do see him i'm not talking about you obviously #but it does happen #like before i got into bts #my mom and sister didn't really notice jhope #he was just There #and when i said he was my bias they couldn't say anything about him except for 'he's a sunshine' #they liked him but didn't actually care #well now he's their fave haha #but i think many ''armys'' stop at that first phase #where they see him as this funny clown but they don't notice that he's actually insanely incredibly talented and cool #his rap verses are ALWAYS top tier #everything about him is just top tier #yes i'm biased but also how can you not see it when you already stan bts 😭 #soooo many armys like him just because he's there but not because they like HIM #and it shows #oh they're missing out #they notice when he supports the other members #(which is often because he loves them so much :')) #but wow they have this Artist right under their noses and choose to only see his (admittedly beautiful) smile #even after jitb and all that it meant #ok rant over #chicken noodle soup thank you for making me a jhope bias and saving me from this fate amen #hobi #bts #my post #it is Very Late perhaps that's why i'm saying this lol #oh one more thing i've never watched these introduction to bts videos #but i just KNOW they are shit about hoseok and his contributions to the group #if you don't have something interesting to say about all the members maybe don't make an ot7 introductory video idk just a thought

Starting a little collection of times when Rose says/does something cute and silly and you can literally see the hearts coming out of Blanche and Dorothy

#was tempted to add dorothy entering the room behind rose in that first one bc her smile is just so precious <3 #but it works better like this overall i feel #the second one is technically cheating bc dorothy is happy about having sophia's box again. but i will count it because this is MY gifset #and i get to decide what goes in it <3 #blanche asking 'did you really know that rose?' in the third set is so precious to me <3 #as is dorothy saying 'welcome back sweetheart' in the fourth set <3 #and rose is always adorable ofc. her face when she rescues fernando is everything to me <3 just look at her!!! #fernando's subplot was sincerely top notch! one of my favourite b-plots!! it's simply too sweet #i still haven't figured out how to use the sharpen tool on photoshop :') so my primary goal for this set was missed i'm afraid #i did have fun choosing the moments and making them tho so i'm counting this as an overall success #and besides any time spent staring at these beautiful ladies is time well spent in my book #they <333 #the golden girls #golden wives #feel free to suggest any additions to this collection btw!! i'd love to have others #gifs

Revelation: my whole life, when I've responded to sarcasm seriously, people have been like "uh...why you so serious... I was being sarcastic..." and it makes me insane because like... duh? Why am I not allowed to respond to sarcasm seriously? Why does it have to be treated as hOw DiD yOu MiSs ThAt I wAs KiDdInG? Basically: why is it framed as me failing when I absolutely knew it was sarcasm?

Anyway, this just happened with my wife (no shade, it's very rare with her as compared to like, my uncle, and I told her it made me uncomfortable, we're good, it was just the spur to the revelation) and I think I've realized why it happens and why it bothers me so much.

It's always framed as me missing something, but it's not.

I knew they were being sarcastic, and I chose to respond seriously.

THEY failed to interpret MY response.

Or: damn boy (genderneutral) sorry my Yes, And game is just SO FUCKIN SUPERIOR yall should work on recognizing deadpan. Skill issue.

#unforth rambles #ive always blamed myself for this like i was missing a social cue for making it clear that i was riffing #or that i was choosing to answer seriously instead of laughing or whatever the fuck they expected me to do instead of what i did #my uncle used to frequently make me feel like shit about this to the point that i just stopped acknolwedging his sarcasm at all #but having the exchange with my wife who its usually not an issue with #helped me recognizr that what really happened just now was #she made a joke and i made a bid to yes and that joke #because also i would be fine with a pink roof actually #and she just completely missed the big #er the bid #this has never been my skill issue #it is the skill issue of the other person #im feeling extremely vindicated right now for the lifetime of people whove made me feel like shit over this common type of exchange #next time someone does this to me imma just stare them down and say skill issue and let them figure out wtf i mean 🤣

my co-teacher isn’t coming back for the rest of the year. 🙃🙃🙃 guess who has to take on all of her responsibilities including writing 3 ieps which are these long ass LEGAL documents outlining the goals, progress, modifications etc. of children receiving special education services. they’re also supposed to be based on data and i don’t think her bum ass has been taking any soooo

pray for me yall 🙏

and then she has the NERVE to ask if she can video call and say bye to the kids. like no bitch i hate your guts

#pls ignore me #i just found out today and i am livid #smoking now to chill tf out lmfao #for those who missed my last bitching and complaining rant #my coteacher is a miserable human being who was told she isn't being hired next year #and instead of self reflecting and parting on good terms #she not just burned but NUKED that bridge #threw a fit and acted like she was being targeted #and now she got a dr to write her out for the rest of the year #when there is NOTHING!! WRONG!! WITH!! HER!! #which screws me over so bad #and even though she would always yell at the kids and had no patience #they really do love her #so i just feel sorry for them mostly #still though i don't think she should say bye when she's the one choosing to stop coming in. i feel like it should just be a clean break #luckily i dont have to make that choice alone bc my principal said the same thing and told me to say no and blame her hahah

We should bring back that thing some websites used to do where whenever you made a post you could also list a bunch of random details alongside it, like the mood you’re currently feeling while writing the post, what you’re eating, music you’re currently listening to, what device you’re writing the post on, some random emoji, your personal motto at the moment, etc. It’s like additional character lore 

#I think you can do this with facebook still like you can put a current mood 'feeling XYZ' BUT you have to choose from their list #of premade emotions. You can't just type your own. #and you can't add a bunch of random extra details for no reason #Also DID websites actually do this? I might just be thinking of one or two. specifically I htink on deviant art (which I rarely ever #used except for one small period when I was like 14 yrs old and thought it would be Professional to post art there lol) #when you made a journal post type of thing I think you could put information like this. And I THINK you could maybe do something similar on #the journals on gaiaonline?? maybe also myspace but I remember so little about mysapce or if they even have a journal #type function. I MISS websites randomly having journals as like..a thing #like you had your normal post feed and then also a diary type place. Kind of like how poeple used to use facebook Notes different #from just a normal facebook post. #If I ever actually do anything successful in my life and somehow defeat the mental illness and physical issues and Situational Barriers #and actually accomplish like.. anything enough to be a professional with their own website (like how famous authors will have #their own websites where they post updates that are NOT social media like a facebook but. their own custom website or whatever) #then I'l make sure that in the code it's set up so whenever I make a post I can add these options ghhbjhb #Imagine some official really imporant release of a movie or game or something and then alongside it it's just like #Feeling: Evil 🤭 Eating: Shredded cheddar cheese Drinking: water out of an old coffee tin #(I had to google some online place to copy and paste emojis ghbhjb i have no idea how they work ) #Though also it wouldn't be interesting for me because I have a limited emotional range and also love routine so I'd basically always #feel neutral and just be cycling through the same 5 foods/drinks/music/etc. at all times hjbjjh #I also always wear the same clothes like a cartoon character #BUT it'd be interesting to see about other poeple I guess lol

#personal #ugh #not a day goes by where i dont think of her /: #we were such good friends /: #and like admittedly i needed to take space after all that i don't regret it #but i h8 that she prematurely apologized b4 even hearing my frustrations or why i was hurt #bc she apologized for what she THOUGHT i wanted to hear #and it sucks /: cause i really hope she's doing better #i hope shes ok #and i miss her #but i cannot bring myself to message her bc like...... #i just don't understand how you hear your friends say something shitty happened with someone ur involved with #and blow up at them and demand proof of it #like i dont care how stressed you are with other stuff .......... who does that?????? #nvm the fact that like. majority of the stress she had expressed to me then was literally about...... the ppl who did the fucked shit....... #idk. im just sad #she made me feel so seen and held and heard and we were just friends but like..... i cherished her so much ): #ALSO NVM THE FACT THE DAY BEFORE SHE DID THIS I LITERALLY TOLD HER (after talking to her abt smthn separate) tht #the only way we'd stop being friends is if she did LITERALLY exactly what she did #and yeah she sent it to my Wife's DMs #but honestly that makes it worse cause she knew i was there #nd treated my wife after all that like she was an evil meanie while she apologized to me #(which imo idc it reads and transmisogyny) #and she just like. up and left Everything b4 realizing she fucked up #like she did choose this #and im respecting that and respecting myself enough not to try running and begging her to be friends again #i just. idk man. it sucks

i put together a cool picture to vent my frustrations after playing like 20 splat zones matches of which only THREE were on manta maria (the rest was all undertow). one match had me playing against A COORDINATED TEAM OF 3 SPLASHES AND A MISSILE FARMING GOO TUBER

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krill

#no but like honest to god the maps in this game are actually genuinely depressing; this rotation seriously killed my mood for today #whenever i wanna play i look at the rotations on my phone because 90% of the time every single queue has 1 mapmode to avoid at all costs #and then i just. don't open the game #because the maps are such utter fucking shit. even with FOUR pairs of mapmodes to choose from it's never an enjoyable experience #sometimes i fire up splatoon 2 instead if s2 turf has maps that i miss #spla2n ranked makes me wait like 10-15 mins in lobby hell before every single match so i can only really play s2 in turf these days

[incorrect-ikevamp-quotes]

You are seriously my favorite blog right now. You opinions and meta for ikevamp are so spot on. You somehow are able to flush the characters more than the canon. I just wanted to say I appreciate all the time you put into your writings and I love everything you have written so far!!!!

In Comte and Leo we trust 🫡

Aww, thank you so much! 💛💛💛

Honestly I have no control over the brainworms, I feel like Ikevamp is so saturated with implications that extrapolating becomes so much natural fun for me. I started writing and analyzing (with no supervision to stop me, big mistake) and I'm still so fascinated with it. I can't believe it's been almost what...four years? Five years? Since I started playing the Japanese version where this all began. I'm frankly flattered a lot of people agree/like my takes, it makes sharing my work really rewarding in ways I never expected~

I don't always have time for more than Comte thirsting and silly quotes these days, but you're more than welcome to enjoy what I've curated here! I imagine I won't stop shitposting until the app is discontinued, and even then I'm not confident I'll shut up 🤣🤣🤣 Comte's the best baby girl I've ever known lmfao

o7 PUREBLOOD STAN OR BUST HELL YEAH!

#tysm for such a kind ask! this made my day <333 #pureblood propaganda #(people need to stop validating my breaching containment it only makes me more powerful /j) #sometimes I wish the eng ver implemented more of the depth and hank pank from the og more consistently but alas #localizations are a bit of a hit or miss business im afraid #i also love how i've inadvertently created a sad pureblood fan club over the years (not you vlad) #(you can join after you've had your time out like a good boy) #but in all seriousness i find their lives strikingly saturated with complex emotion and subtle tragedy/melancholy #ig for a lack of a better description i just feel like they're relatable? #like yeah if i was leonardo and my abusive family could harass me forever #i would also be incredibly guarded and set in my ways to protect myself and probably hate vampires and their power plays #if--like comte--i felt a sense of identification with the people i was pressured to subjugate #i'd feel lost and empty too; unable to co-exist with my own kind but also inevitably at a distance from humans #both scenarios create an emotional and relational quagmire #and i think what's even harder about it for both of them is that they just have no choice--and rather few allies besides each other #all they can really choose is duplicity if they wish to remain true to themselves and reasonably survive #and i think that's a really exhausting/somewhat self-impoverishing position to be in #comte tries to subsist on ephemeral moments he shares with people--with varying levels of success (little) #leonardo forces himself into stasis bc if he doesn't he'll keep making the same mistakes #aka getting too close to people and getting hurt when their time ends #ive prbly said all this before but idk in light of so much i've learned since starting this blog #the allusions to vampirism being a vehicle for certain 'othered' identities seems boundless to me (domestic abuse/class structures/nd etc.) #vlad is a pureblood but he seems like one of those flat movie vampires pandering to the aesthetic obsessions of a v particular audience #any story needs both flat and round characters--so naturally his existence serves a purpose/function; nothing wrong with that #but i find myself to be too Shrek to be v invested in him (FAVES HAVE L A Y E R S) #ig i just think its very easy and a bit bland to associate vampires with horror/gore/unmitigated violence/extreme emotionality #but much more engaging to explore the status of monstrosity as it relates to oppressed identities and unconventional kindness #or maybe that's just the monsterfker in me--in which case sorry everyone being cringe on main (it will happen again)

#the thing about being so bad at writing is that when you also do it very irregularly about shit nobody else cares about #you drive yourself into a hole where absolutely nothing motivates you cause nobody misses your fics #also ive been made to feel bad lately about choosing fic writing over drawing so its. been a really fucking bad brain time #idk. i dont feel like a contributing member of the fandom. like it doesnt matter at all what i do i dont provide anything of any value #i hate it here and once again im just. sad and done but im useless with anything so what does it matter and who cares #its so hard to explain. i just dont feel like im doing anything meaningful #and i know thats not an actual indicator of the quality of my work but. try telling my garbage brain these two things arent related lmao #sorry im just. im just useless. i dont just feel that i know i am. with anything i cant do just piling up and the list getting longer i jus #maybe i should finally give up writing too. would make thinking about everything so much easier. nobody would miss it #and nobody can convince me otherwise about that #im gonna go cry in my cocoa now goodbye #night is an absolute mess on main
