#this man taught me so much

[ya-kiri]

Just a random thought. I don't think there's been a TV teacher that has left as much of an impact and resonated with multiple generations of youths than Mr. George Feeny. This man's wisdom and caring heart is second to none.

#AUGDHDHD I really wanted to draw something for this but alas art block is way too strong #But it was gunna be poppet comforting a very distressed Dusty smhh (a bun ate a pastry when they weren’t supposed to and he got v worried) #They care very much for his children’s health- the vaults are absolutely infested with large ass bunbuns #No matter where you look- a bummy #How they haven’t ate all the money like a fine piece of lettuce is truly a mystery- Dusty taught them well NDHDHD #aWEEEEEEEWEEE themb;;; #So happy and care free- just enjoyin snacks and gossips in the ye ol vaults #If anyone was to see poppet and Dusty talking they would never believe their own eyes smhhh #Such a talkative mans! #Also thank you gamer! Hopefully I’ll get my motivation back soon! (And this wicked stomach issue-) #At least this gives me more time to play yakuza smhhh I have so many games to go through so little time- #Not to mention I keep getting distracted in game MDHDDHD #Damn it Majima and your quirkiness smhhhh

One of the things that brings me sm joy is how even though Cyrus is a jerk a solid 75% of the time, whenever he’s talking about something myth related (Aquila, or the entry quests of Azteca) you can literally HEAR in the voice acting how legit passionate he is about it.

Like yea, the man clearly doesn’t have the temperament for the education field (and needs some serious post Malistaire therapy) but you can’t say he isn’t legitimately passionate about Myth, and it’s so heartwarming to see him happy about something when so much of his storylines are depressing as all hell.

#wizard101 #w101 #wizzy fandom #Cyrus Drake #this is me coming out as a Cyrus Drake apologist #the mean old man got to me okay- #another thing about this tho is that #after finding out that he was taught by baba yaga #so much of his everything makes sense #he comes from a very militaristic world #and then was mentored by BABA YAGA #I wouldnt be surprised if Dragonspyre Academy is where he learned his particular ‘tough love’ teaching style from #doesn’t mean it’s a g o o d teaching style but still

also. amber gris as a character is really important to me as an appalachian.

not just her accent or the specific type of person justin based her off of but like

the feeling of losing someone to addiction/overdose while the government does nothing to help, just criminalizes and stigmatizes and makes things worse. which obviously happens in more places than just around here, but we have one of the highest rates of overdose death in the whole country and that whole set of scenes felt like they were really informed by growing up around that

#eliot posts #taz #taz ethersea #the adventure zone #amber gris #drugs cw #death mention #i've made posts like this and deleted them cuz i never feel like i'm wording it just right but just. god. #i'm lucky enough to have never been addicted or to have a best friend or immediate family member die from it #but i've lost or nearly lost extended family to it #and it's like. #my own accent isn't that thick and neither is my immediate family's or best friends' #but i've known ppl who talked like her. #specifically a man named larry who lived with us when we were real young #for some reason especially the way amber says ''come on'' just always reminds me so strongly of larry's voice. he said that phrase a lot #he was the one who taught me to tie my shoes even after my parents lost patience with me for being 'too old' to not understand #he drank excessively like my dad did but he never got mean with us kids #he came and went a few times over the years. the final time he left was when i was in late elementary #he died of an overdose when i was in high school. i didn't feel much of anything at the time. #it had been so long since i'd seen him but also i was at a point in my life where i'd've been numb to big emotions like that anyway #so my parents got drunk about it and i did nothing. just went to school and shit as usual. #i did not expect those feelings to get dredged up by a goddamned comedy dnd podcast #but they did it well i think #even though i had to pause it to take a breather multiple times. i enjoyed it overall. cathartic i guess?

I'm only halfway though Hbomberguy's new video and I dont know if this is a universal experience but my main horrified takeaway from hbomb's plagiarism video so far is that one of my highschools TAUGHT AN ENTIRE CLASS OF 13 YEAR OLDS TO PLAGIARISE. LIKE, ON PURPOSE.

I ended up moving to a much better highschool, but my first highschool essentially taught us to "write" essays by reading what someone else had written and then write what they said again but putting it "into your own words". Which in practice was teaching us to change, for example, "the works of Shakespeare were regarded by many as the first popular art form" to "Shakespeare's plays have been said by some to be the first example of popular media". One teacher actually told us that the process of writing an essay was "saying what the people you've researched have said, in a way where it sounds like you said it".

Like. The tactics that actual plagiarists use to hide the fact that they were stealing. An actual teacher tried to teach me to do that.

#hbomberguy #im so glad i left that school early the next year. it definitely would have gotten worse. #i literally didnt learn what a bibliography was until grade 9 because of how shit my first highschool was. #at the same time if a student wrote a paper that was 'too good' even if it was orginal theyd accuse them of stealing without proof #like i wrote a completely original paper and got the note 'this is very good - did you write it all yourself?' #fuck you man. yes i did. despite you trying to teach me to do the opposite #they accused me of getting my parents to write it for me. i had to show them everything i researched and my dad lost it at them #this was also the same school where they took every kid with a disability out of maths regardless of if they were good at maths or not #and taught them shapes like they were fucking three years old #i remember hanging out in the maths with all the other autistic kids and prentending to have never seen a triangle before for a joke #and while thats really bad and abelist. the non-disabled kids were still being taught addition and division like they were 8 and not 12 #the whole thing was a massive fuck up shit fest. it took the year 7 maths teacher leaving for us to all get the same maths class #and we STILL werent being taught to an age appropriate level because we missed so much grade 7 maths it had to be caught up in grade 8 #i would burn it down but its not a highschool anymore lol

i found a bunch of old voice memos from spanish class in high school on my phone and holy shit my voice dropped So Hard. those would've been from 6-9 months the first time i was on t and i recorded a real quick one now and the difference is fucking insane, i sound like two different people. i never bothered keeping actual track of my voice because listening to it made me so goddamn dysphoric before and i don't really regret that but it is very very cool to see how hard it's dropped in just like. the past few months

#evan says shit #out here sounding like an actual adult man #also i don't really have like. tboy voice #idk why considering the bulk of my voice drop has been at age 21-22 #and i usually associate that kind of sound with people who transitioned older #might be because i taught myself to speak in chest voice? #i was off t for so long and hated my voice so much #i was already pushing as deep as it coudl go all the time #it's nice to not have to do that but i like how it sounds now that the lower register is easier for me

being super normal about White calling Billy "a dreamer"after the events of Maybe No Go

#truly alarming amount of tags on this post don't click read more fr #the venture bros #pete white #bily quizboy #billy whalen #idk man the way they balance each other is really interesting #the things they agree on and disagree on are almost arbitrary #'you can't put mouthwash in a cookie' 'trust me' vs 'we should spend 10 mil on a motorcycle instead of housing' 'that's such a cool idea' #billy trying to pep white up about the ball #'this was your dream too' like come on dude when have pete's dreams ever worked out #when have yours #'what are we gonna do now billy?' 'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it' #baby the bridge has never been more present #ALSO white calling billy the dreamer when HE'S the one who pushes so hard for things #billy has dreams that might not be realistic but they give him hope and he works around the way the world works to make things happen #like being a self-taught surgeon and believing in a magic ball #pete has dreams IN SPITE of what is realistic and he will mold reality to be what he wants in order to make it happen #like fixing the quizshow and pretty much everything that happened in invisible hand of fate #and they both have disabilities that affect them in vastly different ways and impact their relationship with realistic goals #like billy's hydrocephalus being presented to the audience as mostly a social issue for him and the hand and eye being marks of trauma #rather than like an actual block for him beyond needing to tune the hand up every now and then #vs white's albinism making him physically unable to be in direct sunlight and making him actively fearful of doing certain things and #being certain places #to be clear i know the actual effects of hydrocephalus as well as the hand and eye but this is based on how the show presents it #like billy took these things about himself into account and went ok these are part of my reality and i will work with them #and pete took his reality and went ok i will cover it up with fake tan and wigs or sunscreen and hats and make reality what i want it to be #and that's what makes them a good team!! that's why they science together well #it's also why they argue so much #accepting reality and playing within its constraints vs hating reality and changing it to suit you #these are the hallmarks of scientific progress

the thing that drives me crazy about the james baldwin post apart from the blatant racism is just the complete incuriosity. like idk i don't think you should pretend you know Everything just to keep from ever appearing ignorant because like yeah everyone has gaps in their knowledge that are a product of your family and home country and schooling system and things you were exposed to growing up and what degree path you chose. but don't you like. want to know more? when you see a quote that you like from a named author, don't you want to look that name up to see who the author is before you proudly say you don't know who they are and you don't care? why is your response "well my school never taught me that so why should i care!!!!" instead of "oh wow i've never heard of him! which work should i check out first?" are you proud of your ignorance? do you want to go through life spending your time, energy and resources defending your lack of knowledge rather than learning something new? are you not the most pretentious person in the room by proudly condemning a generation-defining black author you've never heard of and wearing your ignorance like a badge?

#jillian.txt #idk i think a lot of it is like. guilt based. people not wanting to seem like they're imperfect or something so hoping to pass the blame to #someone else for their lack of knowledge. but it's like actually just do better lmao. you're a worse person for having this attitude #and you're actively missing out on things that could enrich your life and you're also being racist. #like at the very least man. i don't know. look him up and say 'oh fuck it looks like his work was really important. i can't believe i've #never heard of this guy before! my fucking family/school/etc never taught me about him! where do i start?' #UGHHH it makes me so mad. much more i could say but i will stop here

2003 Splinter is probably my favorite, not just for nostalgia, but because he’s caused the least amount of trauma to his sons.

#tmnt 2003 #I am convinced this is because he is a mutated rat instead of a mutated human #I am writing an essay about how sharing an animal to humanoid mutation is what gives him a better bond with the turtles #as opposed to a human suddenly coping with being a rat and also talking turtles #2003 Splinter was like. man. scavenging is so much cooler with these guys. I should teach them stuff like how my master taught me :-) #i would do anything for 2003 Splinter

Thinking so much about OOT Impa and how she’s the such a gorgeous buff tall woman but also how despite being one of the last Sheikah and her culture and people has been wiped by the Hylian Royal Family, she still cared for Zelda/Sheik and put so much love into her teachings about the Sheikah culture and fighting style that Sheik proudly wears Sheikah clothing and declares himself Sheikah and cherishes everything that Impa has taught him. And how Impa was able to give Zelda/Sheik a life away from the castle so they can learn more about who they are as a person rather than being told that they are the princess and that’s the role they must live by all their life

How Impa cares for Kakariko despite being an execution site for her people because before then, it was the home to the Sheikah and despite all the dark ghosts and spirits that reside there, she does her best to care for the town and the dead and living who reside there

Also did I mention how beautiful and buff and tall she is and she’s so strong and it’s a crime that they removed her muscles in other young adaptions (except for oracle Impa I love you so much oracle Impa)

#man it makes me sad that skyward sword made the harp a hylia thing rather than a Sheikah thing :/ #imagine all the Sheikah songs that Impa taught sheik im gonna scream #Impa is the best I love her so much #tloz

the fact that miles used the shoulder touch again to mess up miguel's suit and finally escape from being chased, just like when he took down kingpin, showing everyone both times how he is his own spiderman . him still holding onto aaron's words and sticking to his own path. but this time even with that escape he never reached where he was supposed to go and instead he had to see a version of his uncle that wouldnt have ever taught him about the shoulder touch in the first place

#the shoulder touch in atsv wasnt like The Exact Same One but u know . far too similar for me to ignore #maybe im looking too much into that scene but man..... wouldnt that be something if it was intentional #the same technique aaron taught him landing him in front of a version of his uncle that miles is Afraid of. like #Oughhghhhg? im so distraught over this #the miles and aaron of 42 dont seem to have that relationship that miles w him had in the first movie #even noticed how 42s aaron kinda pushes him out of that hug like . Im Going to Scream? what is their dynamic ive Got to know #have more thoughts but its v late and i cant verbalize them rn fjdjndb maybe later #marvel #atsv spoilers #my post

conflating sexual orientation with genital preference is just so weird to me. I told someone I was gay last night and they asked if I was into dick or pussy, and it completely short circuited my brain as I tried to explain that it's about gender, not genitals. It feels like if instead of asking someone if they liked coffee or tea, asking if they liked opaque or clear hot beverages. Like, I like tea with milk and also without, and I like coffee with cream but also espresso, but not black coffee? And in that same way, if someone is just squicked out by tea with milk that's completely valid for them, but to then extrapolate their own experience outward and define a tea drinker as someone who doesn't like milk is both a logical fallacy and reductive of the human experience. Gender and sex is so much more complex than that and I can't fathom trying to reduce it down to such a false binary.

#this was something I felt even before I realized I was trans #there's no difference in my attraction to cis or trans men #and it's weird cause it was at a queer party but several comments throughout the night were people equating gender and genitals #like a lesbian saying she was put off by seeing dicks in a movie #and inside I was like “well were they straight male dicks? lesbian dicks? gay dicks?” #as a gay man I am attracted to the latter by association #and when it's either of the former it puts me off because that's not who I'm into! #but to see it as this separate thing feels weirdly dehumanizing #again: genital preference is a valid thing for people to experience #but to equate that to gender preference just feels like a completely unfounded comparison #my sex is so much more complex than that and I can guarantee someone interested in women would not find what they are looking for in me #I used to think sex was a much more solid thing #but learning more about biology and then transitioning have taught me that it is a highly mutable and complex phenomenon #this is sort of a vent about feeling somewhat dysphoric from people's comments but moreso than that just genuine bafflement #t
