i'm watching castlevania nocturne and just had this weird moment:

one of the characters was saying "it's written here in enochian ..."

and my supernatural-obsessed brain immediately went "ah yes, angel language."

nothing could've prepared me for how the character continued to say: "the language of hell."

Guys I’m so stupid how did I just now make the connection that Paddy Holland is Tom Holland’s brother

But also it’s the way that even though Tom is literally Spider-Man (one of the most iconic characters from one of the most successful franchises ever) I think I would be more starstruck to meet Paddy because like he’s Bobby Vernon from Lockwood and Co. and frankly that’s just much more impressive to me

I won a 100x battle lol

So I used the photo thing to take a bunch of silly pictures of deep cut

Honestly, Zack being Gormogon’s Apprentice was quite literally the biggest plot twist of all time

got blood work done today and i just remembered a time i got blood work done as a teen. after the nurse drew like 6 vials of the stuff, i asked him “is all that mine?” and he said “not anymore” and walked off

I had this insane dream that one of my favorite fictional characters of all time blew my back out and it was SO REAL, SO REAL OH MY GOD

My brain really [redacted character] x you'd me, it's what I deserve

lol one of my uni friends was like "I have never heard you say mate in your life before" and the otehrs were like "Lol yeah PB getting so macho" which is weird to me, because I swear lik e20% of my vocabylary consists of the words mostly dude nd bro, but pretty often mate.

At which point I realised that I have gone back into my home town speaking habits and left my uni ones where I ws significantly... idek how to describe it but yeah. A lot less mate and dude nad bro and all of that. Also my accent of some stuff changed which was funny.

So I substitute taught today.

And I have never been so affirmed in my choice to go after a COUNSELING career, rather than return to teaching.

First thing was that detention is “supposed to be a punishment,” and like my whole body is “immediately no.”

Punishment as a concept is about control, is not a long-term, beneficial solution, and fuck that shit.

Consequences that create self control and self discipline and support self reflection, yes.

Arbitrary, authoritarian punishment, hell no.

Second was this catch up credit program that had a kid watching 20 minute videos and answering dove quiz questions at the end. As if that’s a history education. WHERE IS THE THINKING?! WHERE IS THE DISCUSSION?! WHERE IS THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS?! THE DISCOVERY OF THE DEPTHS AND HEIGHTS HUMANITY CAN GO TO?! THE MORAL QUANDRIES?!

It wasn’t even good history videos, just lame dates and numbers and AUGH.

And the AMOUNT of kids who had “finished their work” (per the teacher), and could just … do nothing. Their butts had to be in these classroom seats, and they had no work to do.

Oh. My. God.

The LEVEL of “teach to the test” things have sunk to; I had no idea.

And having them just sit … omg, get them out growing a garden. Moving. Building shit. Doing art. An improv class.

There were coloring pages, but like THESE ARE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.

There were no good books in the room (except the one I brought in my bag.)

Just.

I was sad.

And they had to go to the bathroom and be back in 5 minutes.

Now I get we don’t want kids meandering the hallways, but like.

Good grief.

I just.

I’m tired.

I was also distressed by the things the kids talked about going on in their personal lives, and was like “YUP. COUNSELOR.”

So. Yeah.

Went to a Hot Topic for the first time in years, and I am left to wonder:

Are anime kids the fashion descendants of scene kids?

[everchased]

at least it'll be wonderful while it lasts.

(a little post-game downtime discussion, when they have the time and space to talk about these things. also in my canon, scratch gets to stay. :/)
