I feel like you were in an AP English class, or some more advanced class in high school

I was in the advanced classes and programmes in the early years of intermediate and high school (my school went from age 11 - 17/18)

But for about 3 years I was borderline almost failing English 🥲

In my final year of high school, I had an English teacher who actually put in more effort to make his students succeed and I ended up passing with top grades (aside from unfamiliar texts which is the bane of my existence) and winning an award for English at the end of year prize giving

Karen Dalton // "Katie Cruel," from In My Own Time

When I first came to town, they called me the roving jewel, Now they've changed their tune, call me Katie Cruel.

Through the woods I go, and through the boggy mire; Straight way down the road, 'til I come to my heart's desire...

If I was where I would be, then I'd be where I am not; Here I am where I must be, where I would be, I cannot.

When I first came to town, they brought me drinks a' plenty, Now they've changed their tune, and hand me the bottles empty...

If I was where I would be, then I'd be where I am not; Here I am where I must be, where I would be, I cannot...

Album Review

Karen Dalton is one of those lost artists whose popularity seems to stem from the rarity effect, so I was shocked to find that every song on this thing is a banger. I fucking love honky-tonk.

So much is happening to me. So much that I can't even see. So many words of wisdom that I am trying to be. Catch me if I should fall and even more so while I'm standing tall. My head is spinning around and it's making me dizzy. I'm spinning around and it's making me ill. You don't understand what I'm going through just to find a way to climb. It'll be in my own time. It'll be in my own time.

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.
