every so often i come to my senses and remember that this is an almost 12k fraught emotional and deeply visceral chapter literally consisting of two characters having tea

PERSONALITY

Yukito’s perspective and ambitions are dictated wholly by the objectives of Maxie and team magma by extension. He’s invariably skeptical about those outside of the organization if not out-right hostile, with a particularly apparent abhorrence towards those in positions of authority. In his mind Maxie’s goals, directives and words are absolute and thus there is no room for fatuous things like compromise. Positives: Decisive, Industrious, Loyal. Negatives: Fanatical, Callous, Vindictive. Neutrals: Meticulous, Reserved, Straightforward. Humor: Deadpan.

HEALTH

Mental: ASD. Physical: He experiences a prickling numbness in the extremities affected by his burns, lack of some sensation and limited / impacted functionality of his left hand. Addictions: None that he will admit to. BACKGROUND

Yuki has no family to speak of, no one he would regard as such anyway. As far as he is concerned his life began the night he fled from his foster family’s home in Goldenrod, stealing what he surmised would be enough to get him far enough away to not be found. It wasn’t his first attempt, it was, however, his first successful attempt. The money he had managed to steal was only enough to get him on his feet, passing through towns seeking quick ways to scrounge enough money together to keep himself afloat. For a long time his journey continued like that, listless and without purpose, it was just him and Nova. That Absol was his family’s pokemon and it had been with them long before he had arrived, each time the troubled youth attempted to escape it would follow him, ignoring his insistence that it return home. Just like each time before it pursued him, no matter how he attempted to elude it they would be reunited, eventually he begrudgingly gave in and the two of them became travel companions. It was during his travels, adrift without a clear way forward or an ambition of his own, that Yuki first crossed paths with Team Magma. This wasn’t his first encounter with someone of dubious moral standing, after all, he had made deals, traded in wares and done menial jobs in exchange for goods many times with people like them in the past but it was the first time that someone boldly declaring such an ambition had rattled him. For the first time since he had turned his back on that old-life he felt as if he wanted to be part of something so investigating them, their ambition and how to join their ranks became his single-minded purpose. After he was recruited, through his own persistent demands, Yuki worked assiduously to not only spread the word of team magma but to enforce it. His reverence toward Maxie and unreasonable expectations made him hellish to work along-side but it was that same unfaltering resolve and the analytical lens he viewed the world through that made him an asset to the team and their joint ambition. As he rose through the ranks his stringent expectations became imposed upon others even more fervently. Those who align with Maxie’s ideals admire him and those who don’t quite understand his zealous admiration for the Leader tend to find him a little peculiar if not slightly off-putting. Being disliked by others doesn’t impede his ability to be useful to Maxie, both as a strategist and in the transmitting of intel, so in his mind it is utterly insignificant.

The fact there are many folks who are just beyond weak at working at the healthcare field, specifically based on instructing + looking after group home disabled residents. It's so heartbreaking and frustrating hearing my coworkers complain about certain clients or say anything negative regarding them, such as how they're annoying or they, the coworker, just want to hit them. Yes, some folks have certain behaviours and mannerisms and mindsets that one may not personally enjoy or feel comfortable, but they are still humans ( or whatever they wish to identify as ) with real thoughts and emotions in the end. As long as they're not saying or doing genuine harm to others and / or themselves that must be changed to healthier forms of attitudes, why should the disabled clients have to be seen as being lesser than us, the staffs in which some aren't any better for treating and seeing the clients like burdens.

okay you know what i think i'm going to go ahead and start writing my yj choose your own adventure fic because s3 is messing with my plot and before the new characters become even more important and i feel compelled to include them

Again, if anyone has seen anyone post their results of doing the ALG method long enough to speak a significant amount, let me know. I'm going to do one last search on youtube of people discussing their Dreaming Spanish progress, and even if they didn't do it completely the ALG way (since some users of Dreaming Spanish videos studied with anki or word lists or word translation lookups at some point) I hope they may still describe what activities they did to develop speaking skills after they had developed good listening skills first. I want to know: did they shadow? Did they talk on their own? Did they talk with a language partner, and was it someone correcting their mistakes or them correcting their own mistakes later, or them just talking with no monitoring of mistakes besides making sure they keep talking until understood (as in re-explain in other ways if their partner is confused)? Did they do writing exercises? Did they do speaking or writing drills?

Canon compliant headcanon (cw: grief, bad family dynamics...canon compliance)

1984. Remus has dragged himself through the worst of it and is finding his feet again. Or so he thinks. It’s April and he’s making one of his infrequent trips to Diagon Alley when he runs into Walburga Black.

It is immediately clear that Walburga is not well. She’s wearing the same expensive clothes she always has, but there’s a shabby, unkempt air about her. Remus knows her husband died sometime in the last 6 months. She’s standing alone at the foot of the stairs to Gringotts, fidgeting. When her gaze lands on him, he’s too close to pretend not to notice.

She doesn’t know who he is, only recognizes him as someone who was important to one of her sons, and it seems like she doesn’t even know which one. She accosts him. What she’s saying is so muddled and divorced from reality that he can hardly follow her, but he gets the jist. Her husband’s funeral was poorly attended. She has no idea who he is but has somehow lumped in as a ‘friend of the family’ who should have made an appearance as she dealt with this final loss. Remus gets the impression she’s ranted this way at most people she’s encountered since Orion died.

She is unwell, grieving, and elderly. He should walk away.

She is Walburga Black and she thinks she deserves comfort.

From him.

“No,” he growls. His heart is revolting in his chest like it did when he first learned the depths of heartbreak. “Be fucking miserable. You deserve it - you’re the reason your children are dead.”

He storms away. It takes him a few seconds to realize which part of that isn’t true.

[pikachu-deluxe]

thinking maybe i do have something going on with me

like, i do have trouble focusing i guess it just never clicked before when i heard others say that but my thing is my brain refuses to let me think about the stuff i want to think about most of the time. i usually get music going on in the background of my brain but sometimes it turns into the foreground so it's like i can't think unless i specifically focus on obstructing the music but that's so much effort just to do things

that's why i never really thought i had trouble focusing bc i thought i was just doing it wrong or something but no this requires extra effort on my part that shouldn't be needed afaik

[irritablepoe]

How did I write so much stuff for my own stories🫠
