I don't want to start shit, but it really irks me, so I want to vent anyway.

People claim Alastor is sex-repulsed because he rejects Angel's advances.

But what do we see with Pentious?

His rejection is even more vivid. But later?

It's almost like people usually want to have sex with someone they like.

Sure there are people who wouldn't mind having sex with a stranger or someone they barely know. But that doesn't mean that if you are not ready to jump into bed immediately you are sex repulsed.

I do not remember people commenting on Pentious claiming he is sex repulsed. Only Alastor. Why? Is it because he is ace? His averseness to fuck someone he knows for a week suddenly makes him sex repulsed because he is asexual and all asexuals are sex repulsed?

Upd. (It was also about him being touch-averse which is ALSO not connected to sex and we already saw that Alastor is not 100% always aversed. He has tight boundaries)

Upd 2. ( I was so angry I forgot about freaking Husk xD Who was constantly annoyed by Angel's advances. Again, no one even blinked at that)

*sigh* This is why I am even more vocal about canonically ace characters to be somewhere else on spectrum. To be grey, demi, anything! Because this stereotype is tiring. Bigots hate repulsed aces because we are freaks who don't want to fuck. But then queer community hates non-repulsed aces because we are not stereotypes.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin hotel sir pentious #queer #asexuality #you should have seen the comments twitter had about this discourse #yes i know twitter is shit but these people are real #people who say having alastor not sex-repulsed/demi is harmful for ace community #as in Being not sex-repulsed/demi is not being a real ace #it was so fucking gross and infuriating #i HOPE they at least have good intentions #but saying that queer people playing with asexuality on a doll will somehow harm the community that is being hurt #by a completely different group #group who DOESNT GIVE A SHIT about how we play with our cartoons #that will NOT start respecting asexuals because we here are not smashing asexual doll with other dolls #i REALLY hope its not about fucking control what queer people allowed to like and do and covering it up with bigots #as if WE are responsible for what they choose to do and WE need to behave to ugh earn their respect or some bullshit like that

ohhh i love this question sm !!! i actually have a lot of them. anyway here's the list in random order:

1. all barbara + montoya scenes in s1. they're so fucked up and i was amazed that there's canonical bisexual character in the show. also in love w Barbara smoking weed in Montoya's apartment. she was so real for this (not for weed but depression) 2. that little dialogue between Oz and Barbara, when Oz shows at Barbara's flat to see Gordon. like "Men 🙄" "Don't i know🤗" THESE LOSERS DESERVED TO BE BESTIESSSSS!!! 3. when she visits her parents and they ask her about Jim and Barbara answers that they're happy. for the love of god MY WOMAN IS B RO K EN!!!! i love her. also i love this strain between her and her parents. i wish we saw more of their interactions 4. of course. of fucking course: barbara's psychotherapy session w lee.

8. SCENE IN THE NARROWS. SCENE IN THE NARROWS. SCENE IN THE NARROWS. IN S4. dear god im eating this scene FOREVER. it makes me feel THINGS. im insane about Lee and Barbara's interaction here. Im insane about Lee here. Im insane about Barbara here. i love their transformation here. both character's and relationship (they almost handled conversation w/o mentioning Jim). also peak of romance. to me. (and kind of. "im a fool to want you" by frank sinatra vibes. to me) and. GREATEST WLW SCENE EVER FILMED N2!!!

[vole-mon-amour]

I think I forgot a bit because it's been a while, but Book 2 Chapter 9 is so. fucking. hot. It means nothing that I read it before. Reading it again and looking at all the details. It's so pretty. 😩

It's a shame tumblr doesn't allow porn because there are three particular pages that I would like to show here. And one of them is absolutely perfect in every way.

This entire page. The way Joa squeezes his dick and the way Dylan grabs him by the wrist at the same time. Like, that frame is simply so beautiful???

Also???

Amazing. All the feels are IN.

Now to get through all the pain in chapter 10, I'm quite dreading it.

upd:

LEAVE HIM ALONE. This is some Cazador & Astarion situation, ugh. Asshole.

upd2:

I clicked on the "next" at least 3 to 5 times before I realised there are no more pages. Oh, I am stressed, but this beauty??? Love me some characters like that. Oh, I am intrigued.

Marcel drinking Joa's blood, though... 😡 Get away from him.

Do you know any good sites or apps where one can make gifs?

Hello anon! I highly recommend you to use Photoshop to make gifs, and to avoid using sites and special apps to make gifs quickly.

I’ll try to explain why (under the cut).

Here is an example of a gif I made a long time ago:

It is too flashy, too grainy, its speed is too high and the colors are not balanced. Therefore, this gif is an actual eyestrain. >_

I made this gif in Photoshop, however, I used the quickest way to make gifs: I loaded the video into PS, resized the image and cropped the video to the length I wanted. The result is not very good. Sadly, other apps, especially the online ones, can make only gifs of such quality. Their options are way too limited to make a high quality gif. :(

If you are OK with gifs of this quality, then do not read further and please ask someone else for help, since I don’t have any recommendations for you, sorry. ^_^’

If you want to make high quality gifs, please continue reading. ^_^

Here is another sample:

This gif may not be ideal, but still its quality is much higher than of the 1st one. I made this gif in 2018. I used Ptotoshop CC to make it. ^_^

1) I used VLC player to take some screencaps of the moment I wanted to gif.

2) I loaded the sequence of the screencaps in PS.

3) I created the timeline and set manually the speed of the each frame.

4) I resized and cropped the image.

5) I used some filters to make the gif look better: I sharpened it, changed brightness/contrast and most likely did something else, I can’t remember exactly. ^_^’

6) I added several textures and applied them in a special mode, which I sadly can’t visually recognize. XD

7) I added some text.

8) I used a brush (stars).

9) I applied a “coloring” (a psd that I had downloaded beforehand) and adjusted it so that the result gif could look nice.

10) I saved the gif, trying out different settings, to assure the best quality possible. ^_^

I forgot to mention that I used some framing too, but it’s not very important. ^_^’

Apparently, making this gif was a very painstaking process, full of trial and error. But I like this gif much more than the other one. ^_^

So, if you want to make gifs like the 2nd one, you need to download Photoshop and find some tutorials on gif making. Make sure that you find a compatible one, there are different versions of PS, and the way you make gifs in them may differ.

Whatever path you choose, I wish you good luck! ^_^

I hope my reply was helpful. ^_^

Upd: this masterpost might be useful for you, imo

UPCAT Personal Experience

I have first tip to spill: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

—2019 UPCAT taker

A lot of students think that this test is not suitable for no- brainer or plain average students, but nope.

You first have to believe in yourself that you can get it.No matter how many people out there are smarter than you and have better educational background than you, it doesn’t matter. In this game, you need to play wise.

Determination is the key to success. Me, personally, I dreamt of getting into this school even when I was only little. I told myself that maybe I didn’t go to prestigious elementary or secondary schools, but when I get to college, I will enter UP.

Preparations

Inspiring notebook. I hate writing in an ugly pad and I only use GTECT 0.4 because it inspired me to write my notes (and it looks neat).

Highlighters. You know the use. But to me, I had different colors for a main heading, sub heading, the definition of the subheading ( I know right, I really am particular to this.)

Sticky Notes. I often list formulas and attach it on my reviewer for easy lookup. And when I still didn’t understand certain lesson enough and decided to skip on it, I write it on my small sticky notes and I pasted it on the wall adjacent to my desk.

Index cards. I carried my index cards to school so I wouldn’t have to bring the whole reviewer (It was thick and heavy). These cards contained summary of formulas, topics, important person I needed to remember, sample math problems I tried to practice and etc. I punched hole on the upper left part of the index card and put them together with yarn or you can use metal ring.

UPCAT Apps.Available on Google Play Store!

Water. I always bring my tumbler to my desk because it helps me to refresh myself, like my head is lightheaded and everything; water keeps me cool and less sleepy.

Prayers.I pray before starting to review, god knows how much I prayed to him those times. I am so thankful up until now.

My Review Materials

I signed up to an online review. It was a premium membership from Review Master and got the soft copy editions of the reviewers in their portal which I downloaded and printed out. Together with those reviewers were Youtube videos on each topic. Like Subject: Math > Lesson 1: Basic Arithmetic ( they have like a maximum of 10 lesson on each subject) > Chapter 1 (up to 10).

I don’t know if you clearly understand me but each chapter had a Youtube video which was helpful and easy to understans. I used to download the playlist and watched them in the classroom (but I barely reviewed at school, it didn’t work for me, I always liked the home- feeling- review).

And I had this reviewer from well-known review center (I can’t tell you where it came from, my cousin might get sued for unauthorized distribution.) It was really a lot of help. I suggest you enter these kinds of review centers if you think your reviewer or your self- review process isn’t working.

My Reviewing Process (not so productive self- review)

I started reviewing in June, which was a hassle because I had classes to attend to. It was a lot harder when you had Accounting on your back. Not to mention Research!

Time Management of course, no surprise there, but if you have full classes and so much projects to do, it is a dead end. But I tried to trick my brain, my phone wallpaper that time was a screenshot of vocabulary words that each time I open my phone there were words I learned or somewhat, unconsciously learned. I even read books or novels (it was in .epub form so I could always read anywhere-- this was the thing I usually do at school during vacant time) that was so hard to read, I could cry! like the giant man who floated into an island with tiny people-- I forgot it's title.

So every Wednesday, we only had one subject, I didn’t go to school for this one subject (Accounting, I had low grade here ha! I am a bad student, I really don’t give so much f*ck about my acads, I only needed to pass UPCAT— that was right there a very clear determination, but I won’t suggest it).

Or if I had full day of class, when I got home I changed my clothes (always the comfortable ones) and headed directly on my study. I only stop when dinner is served, then got back again, I always finished at ten pm. I valued every sleep I could get but sometimes I couldn’t stop surfing the internet till like 12 am (not really recommended). And on Saturdays and Sundays, it was all review time!

You might find this process really hard, but I was anxious to finish all the chapters and I was always behind my schedule. Like this math part should only take three days so I would have enough time for other subjects, but it didn’t happen!

Now I am not suggesting you should review like I did, but you should find out what time suits you best on studying. I read it all over the net (when I was reviewing, I read a lot of reviewing hacks; I was a big google searcher!).

Examination Day

Pray

Breakfast

You better had nice long sleep before this day

Bring the prescribed pencil (Monggol 2)

Eraser (the rubber on the tip of the pencil is better, its way faster to erase)

ID

Water (important)

Candy (I didn’t know why, but I became self conscious in that testing room, I couldn’t move or what I just ate candy during exam then the skyflakes after the exam).

Dry snack (You won’t like to wet your test paper or answer sheet).

During the exam I found the math the hardest, reading comprehension the easiest (I had a lot of spare time here).

So, should you skip questions that you don’t know or do eenie-meenie?

I never left anything unanswered even in math which like three fourth of that exam, I was answering blindingly.

Reason: Don’t answer then you are automatic 0, I know you are being wise 25% of mistakes will be deducted in your whole score. But consider this sample:

You have ten items you don’t know. If you try to just shade it and make three guesses right at the very least, you made have seven mistakes (7 mistakes multiplied to .025 is equal to 1.75. Three right guesses minus 1.75 (0.25 part of your mistake) = 1.25 which is better than getting 0 out of 10 items.

If you aren’t confident on math, don’t fall asleep at reading comprehension and try to answer it at your best. I think this part saved me.

After Exam

I could breathe again. No reviewwwwwwww. I just pray and pray even if I was hell anxious. I tried to apply for other campus in our local area, but I wasn’t sp hyped about it and I didn’t really want to. I let the days passed by until the application days were gone and my sister won’t be able to scold me for not applying anywhere. And I keep my faith on UPCAT. I was crazy technically; I just took only one exam. I chanted to myself “God is good” every time I doubt I could get in.

When the results were proclaimed to be out, posted in UP Diliman Campus, there were people who took pictures of the list on the campus and shared it in Facebook, I kept trying to read the posted pictures (all blurred and hard to read because that time, the online results weren’t posted yet. But I couldn’t wait anymore. My eyes were squinting on the screen of laptop, and then I saw my name, I cried. And was so frustrated to myself, I mean I was aiming for UP Diliman, but got in UP Baguio, then I thought (why the f am I crying, I still got it in out of nearly one hundred thousand participants, I had no right to cry. So I just thank God!).

I’ll tell you my motivation: I watched sport news about Philippine Campuses including UP of course, there was Robi Domingo and Gretchen IDK talking and talking about how great that school was. I even saved it in my YT playlist. After watching it and pep talking myself why I should review, why I shouldn’t let my lazy self win, I started grabbing my pen again.

Note:

I only put UP Baguio in my second choice of campus to save my ass if I couldn’t pass to main campus. The different campuses have different grade requirement. UPD I think is around 2.2 while UPB is 2.5 (I am not sure, you should check this out in main UP website to learn the ropes).

P.S.

I think this blog is badly written. But I thought I should try to help out. I know what you need, real time confessions of this very mean college exam haha.

Comment down if you have more questions. I will be very much happy to help.

Guys, is there anyone playing Pokemon Go? I need to complete special task (Celebi’s “Ripple in time”) by adding 3 new persons to friend list, but none of my friends playing this game (besides one person I forgot to mention, but I added her before this task so it didn’t count) and they still don’t want to start. I thought… Maybe, you can help me? Sent me a message with your trainer code and I most likely answer with my own.

Team Mystic, but that’s okay if you’re in Instinct or Valor. I don’t mind. x)

 UPD: need 1 more player since 2 responded.

[it-all-gets-better-love]

It was November 2014, months before our high school graduation. Our school was invited to bring delegates for the 11th National Youth Congress in UP Diliman who had outstanding grades in Economics. I was glad to be selected as one of the delegates to participate on the said event.

We went to UP 2 times for the event. I remember I was late to board our service because our call time was around 5am and our house is far from my school. As usual, always late 😅 Good thing, we weren’t late for the opening ceremony.

Those 2 days are very memorable. We walked around UP Diliman. (That was my first and last visit at that university until now.) Our early service trip to QC and our late trip going back to Laguna. The UP facts and stories from the NYC organizing body. The activities which brought out my competitiveness. Lastly, people I got to meet and be my groupmates.

We were 7 in our team.

• There’s this quiet guy (forgot the name).

• This girl from Mindanao/Palawan who’s quiet too but nice (also forgot the name).

• This girl who can’t totally speak Tagalog (she’s quiet too and forgot her name as well).

• Chic! Omg this girl. So maarte pero kalog.

At that time, we rode a jeepney kasi malelate na kami for the next seminar and then she blurted out it was her 2nd or 3rd time to ride a jeepney 😂 And later that day, I saw na she was one of the models on the Starbucks sales manual. She’s pretty til now. Actually, what a small world. Nung internship ko sa FGI in BGC, after I finished my internship there, nalaman ko na interior designer siya dun. And yung dept. nila is 2/3 floors below ours. Small world! I didn’t get a chance to say hi.

• Xaika. Omg. The vibe we had in those 2 days way back in 2014 grabeee!

I think she came from Bicol? Not sure tho. And then grabe lang vibe namin I swear. I forgot about the things that we talked about pero there’s this one moment of us na I still remember vividly. That was on the 2nd day/last day of NYC. Nung awarding ceremony na for the Sparkonomics.

Nung 1st day kasi, we were tasked to come up with a creative and comprehensive campaign idea regarding our chosen subject galing dun sa 10 Econ-mandments. Good thing, my groupmates are all passionate and smart that we were chosen as the awardee for the Sparkonomics Competition.

Unfortunately, minutes before the awarding, naggoodbye na si Xaika samin kasi aalis na daw bus nila going back to Bicol and it’s getting late na. Ilang hours byahe nila. So she hugged each of us and ang sad lang din niya coz di niya maaabutan yung announcement ng kung sino mananalo. She went down na agad kasi parang nasa auditorium kami nun.

Sakto, nung nakababa na siya, tinawag yung group namin. I was so happy grabe. For us. Kaya lang kulang kami kasi umalis na si Xaika. Sooo we were walking towards the steps paakyat ng stage nung napansin namin pabalik si Xaika and we were calling here. I was shouting her name in front of everybody. And then grabe kasi she came running to me and hugged me agad. She was so happy too. They just took a photo of us on the stage and then umalis na talaga siya.

I dunno. I felt like she was my twin sister at that time kasi parehas kami makwento and passionate sa pagkwento. I think she went to Ateneo nung college and then si Chic sa UPD naman.

I just feel writing about Xaika right now kasi nakita ko sa post niya earlier na she’s boarding the plane today papuntang Scotland. To pursue her dreams. I dunno what it is but I’m proud of her and I’m happy for her too. We didn’t talk anymore kahit sa fb after NYC but that 2 days with her and my other group mates are worth remembering 💛

Sometimes, people are in our lives only for a specific season. We could have wished for it to last longer but even if it does, we can only appreciate their presence for that specific season or time that we spent with them. And sometimes, that short time is enough and worth more than anything else.
