MALAKAI WILL PERISHHHHH AND CRUMBLE AT MY FEET AT THE HANDS OF MEGUMI DONT EVEN PLAY. worldstarrrrrrrrrrrr Twitter fight video

(Hi boobooo ilysmmm i hope ur having a good day 🫀🫀😛)

erm-

if malakai was ever a love interest (will he? will he not? 👀) i’m pretty sure megumi would feel REALLY secure in his relationship with y/n 😭 like, he wouldn’t even feel threatened by THAT, iygwim?? 💀 like malakai as his competition guarantees him a win, i think. unless kai pulls out some of that poetic english he speaks in (he’s really good at analysing dark poetry, old poems like my last dutchess or stories with dark themes).

(hello ml, this made me die laughing you have no idea 😭 had the worst day today but made instantly better when i saw this weirdly-detailed message sent by you 😧)

Hi! I am a new environmental law student, and I am just starting to get into reading cases and legal jargon. Do you have any tips or tricks for reading long and complicated legal documents?

I specifically need help with annotating them so that I can focus on the crucial parts and not get lost in the length/repetitiveness.

Thank you so much!!

hi there! good news is: reading long and complicated legal documents gets easier with time!! bad news is it only gets easier because you’ll read so many of them it’ll become second nature to you lol. i haven’t had environmental law yet, but i have some general advice re: annotating cases that might help:

1. names, dates, ages and specific locations are always assumed to be important until proven otherwise, and this is especially important when you’re working with newer legislation or statutes

2. legal jargon: write down what you don’t know, even if you can’t stop to check it at the moment. if you absolutely cannot move forward without understanding what that term / word means or grasping from context alone, stop everything you’re doing and go research it, even if it’s just a quick skim over the legal dictionary. i have a somewhat easier time with latin because i speak three romance languages (one of them being my mother tongue), but legal terminology in latin is still tricky and flashcards are your friend. and don’t get me started on german contract law terminology!! you can go over flashcards when you’re commuting, eating breakfast, or before bed for example, and it shouldn’t take much longer than 10min of your day (i use quizlet, but have also heard great things about anki and am thinking of switching to it before bar prep, but i digress)

3. my note taking / annotating for class is 100% digital, and i highlight passages i consider important as well as write notes on the margins that usually contain reflections about the case or other notes for myself later (eg: what defensive strategies would work for a criminal law case study). i also bookmark specific pages i may want to revisit, and often summarize cases by making a mind map (i usually do this by hand, in a small notebook that always stays close to me for brainstorming / quick notes)

i think i covered everything? i’ve been on break for a hot minute so i might have missed something, but i’ll edit and reblog this post again if i remember anything else once the semester starts and i’m neck deep in readings again. best of luck with your studies and let me know if i can help you with anything else!

Hey! I’m a 1L going into my second semester of law school and I just wanted your opinion on briefing cases? Do you think briefing cases is worth the time? I tried briefing all of my cases, but I couldn’t keep up so I stopped half way through to make more time for outlining. I haven’t gotten my first semester grades yet so I don’t know if this hurt or helped me.

Honestly this really depends on if your teacher has a bullshit in class participation component to your grade and already effectively expects you to have taught yourself the material (in which case - why the fuck am I paying for this class, sir?)

I usually set up my notes for class in advance with the case name, my usual outline setup (conclusion; issue; brief answer; analysis) and fill it in as the teacher taught. But I also had good teachers who went over each case they assigned.

ALSO, and this is important, as a 1L you have no idea what the fuck is important so how are you achieving anything in briefing cases in advance of class except wasting your time and giving yourself a stress breakout

Be free, Anon. Do the least amount of work for the grade you want as possible.

Stupid ideas are stupid (but fun!)

Decided that the one eyed robot will be Ada and the two eyed robot will be Ilia (thank you anon for those names)!

Ada and Brute (BRUT-1L) are together so obviously I had to make their couple's page!

Then got some silly ideas for Brute and Hanami (I actually think they are friends once she teaches him about pruning instead of just shearing). Plus showing that the majority of the group only tolerates Asa because he's with Ilia.

Then Ilia being weird with his Vandelay reject friends (and Mahito), and for some reason I wanted to draw Mimosa so she's there lol.

Finally, mini comic with Hanami getting Asa for a quick trip to Ilia!

Back with my latest FANTASTIC kink experience. My bf bought himself a 1.5L of soda and is getting better at chugging. After dinner he had ~1/3 of the bottle then chugged ~1L of water. He is so good at chugging water. I also hand fed him a couple donuts (very hot and sensual) and he sucked the icing off my fingers after.

He gets almost desperate to eat me out so he did (he’s great at it!!) and came while touching himself. He likes me gripping his hair and moving him while he does it.

Then afterwards he showed off his tummy to be and I felt it while touching myself. He drank some more soda and I was super close. He asked if I wanted him to finish it, I said yes. He took another swig then looked uncomfy and said he couldn’t, so I said that was fine, let me rub it. Very little left in the bottle anyway, maybe ~200ml. He lets out a couple small burps. Then he lets out a MASSIVE burp that surprises him and I cum from it!! I’m cumming and we’re both laughing and it was hot and fun and sexy and he said it felt so good - I could tell by his reaction.

Hot af. Will be repeating.

- 🦌 anon

P.S. I will definitely be making a blog soon. Have saved lots of things in my drafts for when I make it.

Hot af indeed, hot damn! Seriously, all of this is gold. Hand feeding and finger sucking? Being able to drink and eat that much?? Burping during hot and sexy times??? You're out here living the DREAM and I am so here for it!!! Plus that last part especially is so sweet. Being able to have genuine fun during sex acts is the best, and throwing all the extra sensuality of stuffing/bloating and burping on top of that makes it that much more special.

[meltedyun]

Pee as little as you can for the next 24 hours, keep your bladder at its fullest!

thanks anon! 💕 I'll be gladly doing this tasks to keep my stupid mind occupied hehh. I'll drink 1L of water before sleeping and another 1L when I wake up. I'll try to hold as long as possible for you~

[fatguarddog]

if I was your girlfriend I would make you drink 1L of soda before everytime you wanted to game. Everytime you want to start a new round you have to eat a row of Oreos and take a shot of butter. (this is the same anon that would let you lick whipped cream off her tits ;) maybe if you’re good I’ll tell you what my bra size is…)

Ok, extra level of hot here because I don't often drink soda (don't dislike it, just happy with water, coffee and tea mostly) so for me it's also the additional corruption of getting super into something I don't usually need/crave, coming to look forward to that 1L sods every time I want to game...

Swap out the Oreos for a bag of Doritos and you're onto something there 👀✨

[heystephen]

Yeah seconded in regards that other ask you got for anon about staying hydrated while wearing a mask to eras. In general my number one piece of advice for anyone going to eras is make sure you have eaten decently/slightly more than you usually would before going and drink at least 1L of water while at the show because I did not on my first night (I was running late due to a delayed flight and usually am fine at shows without any drink/food) and felt horrific when I woke up the next morning, whereas I felt fine the next two nights because I prepared in that regard.

a 3 hour show on an empty stomach sounds grueling 😭 definitely would not want anyone to do that

[klanced]

good luck!! i'm cheering you on from far away!

my bestie has been studying for her lawyer's bar test these past months, and the test itself is ON HER BIRTHDAY

so i wish you both to do your best.

you can do this!!!!

thank you anon 💖 1L was hell but I SURVIVED !!! 1/3 of the way there 💪🏼

good luck to your friend! my roommates are also studying for the bar and lol it is NO joke. but it will all be worth it once she passes 🫶🏼 so sad it’s on her birthday, if she’s in the US is her birthday at least on the second day of the exam? so she can at least go out that night and cry tears of relief that it’s over

[peppermintmochafem]

Kinda a crazy place to ask this question but I can’t help but be curious for ur advice. Any tips for a 1L who started at law school a month ago?

hii omg thank you for asking! <3

huge disclosure that for 1L school just couldn't be a main priority as much as I wanted it to be because I was working and had personal emergencies happening. but I think that goes to my main piece of advice is as much as people say your life should be school, life will continue to happen and you actually do get to decide what role you want school to play in your life.

keep what worked from undergrad it is okay to stick with that

figure out what reading order makes sense for you do you like to focus on what

when you outline make a checklist for the elements AND a rule statement for the case you will cite. always start with the broadest rule statement. I would highlight each word in the rule statement that needed to be defined.

Here is an example from civ pro 1:

 must also have minimum contact with the forum and extending jurisdiction would not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice (Shaffer). A party has minimum contacts with a forum if it purposefully avails itself to the forum by deliberately engaging with significant activities within the forum ( Burger King Co. v. Rudzewicz).

4. if you use an outline bank to get copies of other's outlines that is totally great but I would suggest at least making your own case chart so you are as familiar as possible. that would include posture, facts, outcome

5. if you have extra time and really don't understand the reasoning of a SCOTUS case I think it is helpful to listen to the oral argument to figure out what the justices were thinking about when deciding and try to rationalize it that way.

6. go to office hours as much as you want, I tried to go once a month but don't go just to go if you don't have questions

7. if you are cold-called and don't have an answer do not be afraid to just get cute with it make a little joke and try to play it off that worked every time for me

general law school advice:

>if you have a locker at school keep a blazer and perfume there for any random events or on campus interviews

>mixers are sometimes worth it just for the food and drink when you are broke

>cannot recommend joining a clinic at your school more highly !!! working in the student clinic with real clients was the absolute best experience i had and loved it everyday, focus on real experience > journal

>keep a diary write your goals remember who you are and why you are there.

HI HI! Sorry I just noticed you were sick, and wanted to share with you an easy thing to make that seemed to help my family and my close friends pretty well when they got sick.

Egg drop soup! Pretty simple, just chicken stock, a cornstarch slurry (Cornstarch + water) and eggs!

First you kinda just boil the chicken stock, however much you like to be honest I find 500ml or about half the 1l carton is enough for two servings, uhm- put just a little constarch slurry? Just enough to make it like a tiny bit thick, stir that till youve got a little vortex going and then you add in the beaten eggs, wait a bit then you can serve it like that!

I really do hope you get better soon!

p.s. i you know what magic sarap is, add a little bit in there for more flavor :D

Lovingly, Seraphim Anon.

Thank you, love. I do enjoy some egg drop soup, thanks for the recommendation!!! 😊

Baby Carat Anon back!

Today was pickle making day part 1

Every summer I like to make a batch of pickles to give out to people around Christmas and such

This year I got lots of requests from coworkers for jars so I asked for $5.00 to reserve a jar and made about 10 jars total

I still have like 4 1L jars left over so I'm probably gonna make another batch cause I also decided to pickle some carrots and green beans.

I've already given a jar of pickles to my neighbours along with a jar of the beans. And I used 2 of the jars to give ice water to my property manager and his friend who were outside doing yard work.

TW: mentions of depression and s*icide!

I know this is getting long and kinda off topic but, just a week ago I was feeling really depressed and wanting to end it all cause I felt useless and unlovable in this world. And now I'm happy and feeling love and humanity in myself for the first time in a long while. Anyone going through something similar, I know you're probably sick of hearing this but, it does get better. It is still worth waking up in the morning to see the sun rise and set

Lots of love!

- Baby Carat Anon🖤

Hi baby carat anon, i'm sorry i'm late in answering this!!

i hope you had a wonderful pickle making day and i'm glad they are in such high demand!

i'm sorry to hear you were feeling that way, but i'm so happy that you came out on the other side. it sounds like a platitude and sometimes it is, but from someone who's been through the same thing, it really does get better.

Hello! I love following your stories and your posts. You always have such an interesting take on things!

I have a question that maybe controversial (that's why I'm on anon), so feel free to ignore this if you don't feel upto it.

I'm a cis, straight woman of relative economic privilege in a very traditional, conservative country. Which is to say, all of my interactions with and information about the LGBTQ+ community are from the internet. This sometimes is an issue because I end up learning the wrong things, where I think I'm being an ally but I'm just thinking things that are problematic in different ways.

I write a bit of fanfiction for other fandoms and I really enjoy watching 9-1-1LS. I have story ideas for Tarlos, but I'm not sure about the ethics of someone like me writing about a queer couple. Is it okay for me to do that? Or is it more respectful to just read and listen and learn? In case it's fine to write it, never having actually witnessed a queer couple's relationship, how do I write realistically without perpetuating problematic tropes that I've seen in Hollywood/TV/other fics?

(This might get long, I’m sorry followers, one day I’ll learn to shut up but not today and not about this)

I want to start by saying that ‘own voices’ started out as a good thing. It started with the purpose of allowing marginalized communities the space to tell their own stories, rather than prioritizing a white man pretending he knows what racism feels like when he doesn’t. It had really good intentions, and it’s still important to amplify the voices of people who are speaking from direct experience.

But because social media spaces are literally never capable of nuance, it pretty quickly turned into ‘you aren’t allowed to write or talk about things that you don’t have direct experience with’ and this is where it became a really harmful mentality. It has led to things like celebrities being forcibly outed (off the top of my head – Lee Pace, Kit Connor, Casey McQuiston, and Jameela Jamil, but I’m positive there are others) because the internet mob said ‘you can’t portray/write about queer characters if you aren’t queer! Publicly perform your sexuality for us or ELSE!’. On a much smaller scale, it led to me not including characters of colour in my stories for years, because tumblr and twitter told me I wasn’t allowed to.

These are not positive things. I saw a post once, years ago, that said something like ‘yes it’s important for POC to get to see characters who look like them as the hero of the story, but it’s equally important for people to see characters who don’t look like them as the hero of the story, because that’s how you learn empathy for people who are different than you’ and that has really stuck with me. It was not good that a teenager was forced to come out before he was ready a few months ago because twitter told him he was queerbaiting by just existing and living his life. It was not good that I went years excluding characters of colour from my stories. It was not good that I never tried to get into the headspace of someone like Sam Wilson or Nile Freeman or Yusuf al-Kaysani or Carlos Reyes or Marjan Marwani. We develop intense empathy for people who have vastly different experiences than us when we care about their lives and their stories and their struggles.

I showed this ask to my best friend who is also queer and he made a lot of good points in a series of very passionate texts but among them are these:

I would rather someone be open and wanting to explore a new community, perhaps occasionally stumbling over the wrong thing, but learning rather then sitting on the sideline like some kid outside of a candy store window.

I’m not interested in allies who are silent. Who haven’t put themselves in my shoes. Who don’t adore the parts of our community the way I do. I don’t give a FUCK about people who are just going to sit there and say “it’s not my place to speak/participate.” I want my allies in the thick of it. I want them saying I stand with you, vocally and I’ll only sit when you sit.

Quit making people treat marginalized groups like exclusive clubs. Everyone is welcome in my gay house

I know my family loves me because they are my family and I am of them. I need to know the rest of the world is going to let me in, too. I need to know that some successful author who has absolutely no stake in the game ALSO sees value in a queer voice in their story. I need to know I have a place in the world BEYOND the people who are accepting of me because they are like me.

So. All of this is a very long-winded way of saying please please PLEASE write and love and care about queer characters even if you, yourself are not queer. If you’re worried about getting something wrong or unintentionally writing something that is offensive, ask a queer person if they would be a sensitivity reader for your story before you post it. And be willing to accept the criticism if a person comes to you after and says ‘hey this was offensive’ (while also understanding that one queer person or one POC does not speak for the entire community, and that the concept of offense gets incredibly complicated sometimes). But write it. It is a wonderful, necessary thing when people care about communities that they are not a part of. In the immortal words of Mr. Bernie Sanders, when then question “Are you willing to fight for someone you don’t know?” is asked, the world gets infinitely better when the answer is yes.

Reminder to drink at least 1L of water/juice/tea and to eat enough! And sleep enough! Take care of yourself, physically and mentally! We love you and your rambling <3

thank you lovely Anon 💜✨ I shall try my best :]

[i-need-some-advice-on]

same cleaning-house anon but I'm sending this in a separate ask because it's a different topic

I'm trying to cover up some awful wall paint, what are the cheapest ways to do it? I'm looking at peel and stick wallpaper or just more paint, but wallpaper seems difficult to put up alone and paint seems expensive. the good brands cost a lot for even 1L and I'm worried that the cheaper brands will be flaky and ugly. Also if I do buy paint can I mix it with water to paint more area with a lower cost?
