#definitely not feeling my best lately #the end of the semester is always hard #bc understandably im tired #but have to study more than during the semester for the upcoming finals #but really it's more than that #ive been trying to make peace with who i am academically but it seems impossible #i can't fit in anywhere #not with the ~great~ students bc im not good enough #not with the indifferent students bc i study all the time #and there's this prof who thinks im deliberately downplaying my skills #which is both frustrating and painful bc im literally giving it my best already #im just not that smart!! #you know i was positively excellent back in school #and now im average #not bc im not trying #im doing my absolute best! #what else am i supposed to do? #so now it feels like befriending my lab partner was a mistake #i adore her but she's so brilliant and i feel like im dragging her down with me #it also feels like asking my favorite professor to be my thesis supervisor was a mistake too #bc i adore him as well and he thinks way too highly of me #and i am so going to let him down #oof #txt

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

#this is just me ranting sorry #im very tired and hungry #and i want to sleep but brain go brrrrr #well i used to be nice and smart and now im neither of those or however the song goes #pretty sure he was exaggerating cause looking back. it was good. but some of the wording was a lil wonky #adhd #actually adhd #executive dysfunction #actually neurodiverse #adhd paralysis #adult adhd #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #adhd hacks #academia #neurodivergent #adhd skill regression #confessions of a burnt out gifted kid #<< i guess #former gifted kid #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #realizing i sound rly pretentious here sorry -- formal speech patterns i picked up as an autistic child and never put down again haha

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

#supernatural #dean winchester #spn #destiel #castiel #deancas #misha collins #im 20 i have been Experiencing supernatural and johnlock since i was 12 and merthur since wayy before that i have fought Wars #this is crazy #i love u hannibal i love u 911 (if u make eddie gay) #for the love of god by 'mostly headcanoned' i dont mean that it was never intentional #i am aware that they put the subtext in on purpose #they knew what they were doing #but my focus here is on the actor actually saying it because like #if its not mostly headcanoned then y was the entire cast denying it for years AND YEARS #like do yall not remember what jared and jenesn used to say #there have been many many many instances where the cast has made us feel crazy/stupid for saying anything abt destiel #im just saying TO ME its crazy that actors and creators talk so openly about these things now !!! again i was raised on merlin and sherlock #ok also im confused on the queerbaiting part #everyones saying its queer coding and not queer baiting but cant they be true at the same time ? #im not being dumb on purpose i swear im just confused #like yes dean is very much bi coded and their relationship is queer coded but if the creators deny everything #and we only get a last minute confession after 11 years #that doesnt count as queer baiting ? #someone smart explain this to me 🙏

a character can be as perceptive and insightful and intellectually curious as you can possibly imagine the fucking second they show signs of being a little rowdy or boisterous or just generally being cheerful and physically fit they instantly get slapped with the “dumbass” stamp because the faceless masses of general fandom trends still haven’t progressed beyond the immovable jock vs nerd dichotomy i guess

#anyway i love cuchulainn #this post is about at least 3 different characters ive seen subjected to this recently but the one im naming is wilnas granblue #he's literally smart he just lacks context and has huge muscles

#be prepared for godzillion amount of shimo-related comfort doodles i need her to be so happy #sidenote: for my personal hc i have no interest in characterizing her like she's kong's pet #she's just as smart as the rest of em #and won't be treated as more animalistic just cuz she's a quadruped and got a head pat. ty for coming to my ted talk<3 #shimo #kong #gxk #whats the ship name btw im steering it now it's my ship #kongmo ? #kimo? #shikong ? #idk #i might see them more as companions later but idk that head pat effected me. goopy goofy shipping goblin in my brain said yes

Jason: Ew, this tastes gross *turning to Dick next to him and holding it out to him* try it

Dick: What? No way, you just said it tastes gross, why would I try it?

Jason: fine *turns to Tim on the other side of him, holding it out* try this

Tim: *takes a bite* Yeah, disgusting

Damian: Oh please, Drake's a baby, let me try it

Tim: *passes it to Damian*

Damian: *Tries it* Eww, yeah, no, this is gross

Steph: *Takes it from Damian, trying it* makes me want to vomit, try it Cass

Cass: *Takes a bite* yeah no, please never get this again, you want some Duke?

Duke: Why not *takes a bite* Meh, it's not horrible, it's just not good

Dick: Well now I feel left out

Duke: *hands it to Dick*

Dick: *takes a bite*

Dick:

Bruce, in the background: *slaps his forehead* why are they like this

Jason: You wanna try Bruce?

Bruce, dad who feels bad when he says no to his kids: *pained smile* *through clenched teeth* Suuuure...

Dick: *hands it to Bruce*

Bruce: *takes a bite, spits it out into his napkin* Awful, truly atrocious, I'm going to sue, that was so awful

#they are all smart #but when put together they can be dumbasses #they go from like that big brain meme individually to like 2 braincells collectively when put together #im basing this on me with my own siblings #so i know this is just how siblings are #one is like this tastes bad then hands it to another person to try and that just continues til we all have tried it and agreed #but they are also biased cause they all have alfreds cooking regularly so they try something else and are like wtf #alfred spoils them rotten when it comes to good food #batfam #batkids #bat family #jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #damian wayne #stephanie brown #cassandra cain #duke thomas #bruce wayne #incorrect batfamily quotes #it was gonna stop at bruce being like 'why are they like this' but then i was like... wait a minute #bruce is definitely the dad who cant say no to his kids #and the second part was born

one of the things i really like about sdv Elliott is that he apparently moved into town a solid year before you… specifically to write his book… and yet he still doesn’t even have a genre picked out. unreal. im wild about him. writer mood

#lindsey shut up #stardew valley #im just imagining him sitting at his shity little desk staring at blank pages for 8 hours a day #that lin manuel miranda vine ‘come on brain think of things. come on brain be so smart’ #then he stands up and walks outside to tell you he just finished an 8 hour writing jag like SIR YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE A GENRE. #foaming at the mouth. sexyman. to me.

i really can not stand the “fandom is so fun we’re all just projecting and making shit up” thing. because no i actually deeply admire the canon of my favorite media and all the intention and care and craft put into it. we are not the same.

#ur supposed to do that when the source material sucks #when theres huge gaps worth filling whether its in representation or just bad writing or SOMETHING fundamentally unexplored #when the source material is good and smart and has like 2 decades worth of really well developed characters with psychological complexity #stories about queerness and mental illness and neurodivergence and shit. all right there in canon. ripe to pick and dig ur teeth in #WHY BOTHER MAKING SHIT UP it just. dumbs down everything. #not to be like a rick and morty redditor going umm ackshully u need a high iq to understand this show ☝️🤓 #but like. it’s true maybe? media literacy is kicking half this fandom’s ass #im not talking about anyone in particular just a general trend im seeing getting worse

the shared crush crisis

part two!!

#izuocha #tododeku #mha #bnha #todoizuocha #izch #tddk #i just think these two should be the best of friends ever. and im a genius bc of that. #midoriya is smart he just doesnt think anyone would actually crush on him okay #which is funny bc he pulls literally everyone in this series pretty much #also bkg 100% helped uraraka and Todoroki make those chocolates bc he thought their first attempts were TERRIBLE #hes wingmaning them behind the scenes and denying it #eggsdrawings

Vash's glasses going glint

#trigun stampede #vash the stampede #tristamp #vash #the way the opaque reflections on his glasses are used is very smart #for foreshadowing and colors #and to cover his eyes when he's hiding something #it is specially noticeable in the first episode #this reflection happens a lot of times #it adds an air of mystery around his persona #and makes us doubt about his intentions feelings and honesty #also it is exactly the episode where we know less about him #the opaque glint disappears in the next eps #and becomes more transparent #along with him #and knowing studio orange doesnt do anything randomly... #or maybe i smoked cat hair and im high #it just came to my attention how in the first ep theres a lot of this visual device #and then it isnt #*rambling* #my gifs: itachanta

modern AU seb and clora's first interaction 📘📗 (and by modern AU i actually mean super trope-filled high school romance set in the 80's/90's LOL)

#i need to do ALL the tropes like seb doing the classic 'sneak into her bedroom window' ....and also drive in movies #instead of magic duelling they duel via competing grades LOL. and instead of being a beater seb is on the football team #theyre much more enemies/rivals to lovers in this au than usual too since bookworm vs popular jock. I PROUDLY LOVE MY CLICHES #hogwarts legacy #sebastian sallow #sebastian sallow x mc #sebastian sallow x oc #hogwarts legacy fanart #sebastian sallow fanart #choccyart #clora clemons #clora when she realizes people can be athletic....AND BE SMART??? no fair. HOW COME HE GETS BOTH #u can tell my boss isnt giving me much work this month bc of all the shit i have time to draw LOOL fine by me!!!!!!! #i already have 2 other modern au pages sketched out of them directly after this scene and then them at a house party #im open to more ideas too👀👀 #omg i just realized if this takes place in the 80s then its flipped from being 1890 to 1980......its perfect
