jason and damian hang out on a rooftop after dick gets injured. it goes very fine and normal
complicated emotions about your parents are a gender-neutral experience
“I don't require company, Todd,” Damian says stiffly, from where he’s crouched on the lip of the hospital roof. His arms are crossed, resting on his knees; his whole body is a coil of anger. He’s still wearing the costume. There’s blood on his cape, his gauntlets, a splash of it across one shoulder. In the light drifting up from the street below, it looks black. Eleven floors below them, Dick Grayson is hooked up to three IVs, a respirator, and a heart rate monitor whose steady beep fails to be reassuring. The official story is that he’d been hit by a bus. The unofficial story is that Talia al Ghul had been in town, and Nightwing had gotten in between her and her son.

Eta on the YouTube video? No rush, just exchange
im gonna be honest man please do not count on me here lmao. my follow through rate for these projects is like 5%. real ones remember gourdquest and other related failed projects i came close to the sun on. if i succeed it will be huge for me on a genuine personal level and it will be the first time i've finished a creative project at all in years but if i do not. neither you nor me should be surprised
#lichens#yeahhh not gonna lie#the reason ive never added like a ko-fi or anything to this blog is because i see my dim reflection in a million failed internet projects#i almost added a ko-fi once and actually got a couple donations but i refunded them and closed it because i was like. no. this wont work#my dream job would indeed be to be a youtube essayist that talks about plant topics#but im at my most reliable as like. a capitalism worker clocking in and out at a set time at the work location lol#this is also why i have not gone back to grad school yet lmao like i just do not trust myself not to deviate from the set topic#also im starting my EMT classes and jobs very very very soon so i was trying to get it done before that but as the time comes i go o. oh no

just had to give a gentle nudge about research ethics on discord. with an Essek profile pic. I'm still laughing.
#the irony was definitely lost on them but god it was not lost on me#for the record my discord pfp is the shot of him at the greek live show turning to fearne like ?!?!?! about ludinus lmao#anyway. hilarious times.#I have realized in both work and school that. my threshold for research ethics is SO high jfc#me like 'well i have like 600 examples for lit analysis it won't be totally representative but i think it'll be a good start'#normal grad students: this set of surveys from my family friends and classmates is good enough to present at conferences right#[REALLY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE]#it's fine I'm fine don't worry about it. I'm cool I'm fine#this is not related to this person to be clear it's a previous gripe#love being in research love learning about how most people do research and having to go 'do ANY of you have even COMMON SENSE'#this has gotten off topic. alas.

kate! this may be a weird question but how did you decide you wanted to do law and which law school to go to? im so confused with what i want to do and would appreciate any advice ❤️
nice try feds
#i kinda of knew i wanted to do law. i was v good a legal studies in hs. i was v good at English. i took AP english.#so the stars kinda aligned for me. i also associated law with these romantic and unrealistic conceptions which helped me really work for it#as for law school- NICE TRY FEDS (sorry bb im not comfortable disclosing which uni im a student of while im still studying#totes not anything on your part- there are just a lot of weirdos online and i think its bad online hygiene to do that lmAO#though i will say this: when i got my offers it was between the uni im attending and the university of st andrews.#i am still v much obsessed with st andrews and i hope i can do post grad there one day. the 2 major problems were:#st andrews doesnt actually have law. i was gonna do international relations then law- thats how bad i wanted it lol#anyway the real roadblock was that my mother spends like 8 months of the year in the UK and thats too fucking close to Scotland#and bb kate would have killed herself etc.#you just need to find the middle ground between what you love and what youre good at

got into two very good schools on opposite sides of the country BUT now I have to chose between them and I only have 20 days to decide????????
#literally don't know what to do#one school is like maybe not my favorite research topic but i love my potential advisor and stuff everyone is sooo nice#and the other school is back to my undergrad alma mater but its like the most prestigious BUT a buncha grad students drop out or hated it#so its like. fun times somewhere i wanna live a lil less (far from family etc) doing work i wanna do slightly less#or hard times somewhere ive lived before and know is ok#like on the one hand i think i could do the hard times and come out ok#but on the other christ thinking that is what got me into this whole mess with my masters and i dont wanna have to file another title ix#lmao#anyway rant over#phd consuming my life hours

Next page of Knightfall in Dream Land is most likely going to be posted this Saturday or Sunday!
I have this next page about a third of the way done right now and I’m going to try and get it finished by this weekend. The page following this one might take me a little longer than usual to finish because I’m working on some stuff for grad school and am also about to be out of town for some work trips, so I apologize in advance if I end up taking a while to post it. I don’t bring my tablet with me when I go on trips and I won’t have any time to draw anyway so I probably won’t start working on it until after I get back. I do plan to try and get another chapter of the fanfiction version of the comic posted soon though. Since I’ll have my laptop with me while I’m away I’m planning to do a little writing, so look out for the next chapter coming in the next few weeks. Thank you to everyone who’s reading both the comic and the fanfiction, I hope you’re enjoying them and sorry again for my slow updates!
#text post#Kirby#my art#Knightfall in Dream Land#I’m getting ready to go to two back to back conferences for grad school in like two weeks#so I’m busy preparing for that and also working on my dissertation#but I do want to try and get this page out before I leave#and it’s almost the one year anniversary of me starting to post the comic#I think I started posting it in early October last year have to check the exact date though#but yay I’ve managed to keep this thing going for a year#and it’s still not even halfway done lmao oh well ☠️#thank you to everyone who’s been reading it I really appreciate it#I hope you’re enjoying the comic and the fanfiction

I hate how every job says they're looking for a person like this because I am none of those things? Where are the jobs willing to pay top dollar for an unmotivated unprofessional cold unpersonable non starter who is disorganized and pays very little attention to detail?
#also i wish my guidance counselor in high school had sat me down and said dont go to college without a career plan#instead of what he did do which was tell me my grades are so good i absolutely should go to college#wish he had said at least make sure you get an aa in like accounting or something to fall back on#am i bitter about never finding a job that uses my degree that wouldnt also include needing grad school?#kinda#capitalism makes fools of us all#crap#its shut down week at the ethanol plant that does nothing with my english or fine art degrees#and also nothing with my 15 years of retail and customer service experience either lmao#i fucking hate shut down so much it is inevitable i start thinking of quitting even tho i am making more money than i have in my life#how fucking insane is it that jobs that require a masters degree will pay 15 an hour and yet this job that requires a ged at most starts at#like 25 and this plant actually starts low judging by what other plants are offering like damn#every job ive ever had needed no degree at all how much farther ahead would i be if id just gone straight to work?#like i fucking loved the college experience but it didnt do a fucking thing for me other than saddle me with life crushing debt

#i dont im having a lot of fun (genuinely) but it is often pretty stressful#did find out there are a few folks adjacent to my program doing zoonoses & climate change research so im very excited to chat w them next w#possibly directing my thesis towards one health. social epi gradually becoming less interesting#plus i think my strengths do lie in applying epi to biological concepts so. one health works there#my brain continually trying to get back to lyme disease :( sometimes i really do miss the east coast tbh!#not lying actually i think the number one thing i miss is the amt of vector borne disease research LMFAO#i do unfortunately kind of have a crush on a classmate so that's fine but whatever. grad school. men are nice to me and i lose my mind ig#need to go make out w a hot trans person i think that would solve my problems rn#but also it's nice to be so excited about someone deciding to sit next to me in every class :)#like wow how isolated have i been the last 3 years to be so delighted by like. active signs i have Officially Made Friends.#even if he does live like a block away from my dad and jokes every goddamn day like 'so i saw your dad yesterday' no you DIDNT shut UP#idk yesterday he sat right next to me in a class he usually sits w other people in and it sort of sent my brain off the edge and now im jus#yeah. sitting with this one. it's fine like it's normal. but wowie i do think it's my first time having a Big Ol Crush since (redacted)#a little scary for my animal brain i think but it's okay!#im 25 in like 3 ish weeks and i still get embarrassed about this stuff somehow? stupid.#he's just really nice and always really fun to talk to! i think i had to officially Sit With Myself today bc epi is doing a holiday party#and there's a baking contest and we were talking abt it in class and i was indecisive abt whether i want to participate#and he like fully cut me off and was like oh you should bake something so i can have some :)#and. well fuck now i have to lmao.

idk if it's genuine excitement or the energy drink i had earlier that's actually letting me focus and work but dude. i am CRUSHING this essay. this is Fun To Write. i think i'm actually doing a really good job here. wtf. i love my major man
#i am a LITTLE bit sad i cant do grad school bc like. im going to miss writing essays and researching and all once i graduate#i do genuinely like doing it. call me a nerd or whatever but i love it esp when its on smth fun and interesting like this#now im not sad enough to actually DO grad school lmao#unless i got offered a scholarship or smth idk. wont happen but. hm. if it did.#seriously tho. i would think more seriously abt it if it werent for my adhd. i just dont think its realistic for me#as much as i like my field i dont think i have the ability to focus well enough to complete the work id need to complete#i went to the meeting abt grad school i learned abt what it requires/why people do it and all. i just dont think i can do that#and bc i ultimately cant get diagnosed -> cannot get help/medication thats not going to improve any time soon#after years of learning how to adapt and work with my brain this is probably the best i can do without medical/institutional intervention#its not worth paying a shitload of money and possibly setting my career back by years only to fail out yk?#im not too torn up abt it. ill give it more thought if it becomes relevant but rn its not really on my radar#ive done an excellent job in school! im getting an honours degree (hopefully)! most people dont even get that far#a lot of people with my condition dont even get into university let alone graduate. im incredibly lucky to be able to do what i can#levi.txt#this is all over the place but takeaway is im having a good time! things are coming together i feel confident in my work#im gathering theorists and sources for the section on night of the living dead and having a blast#ive got my examples all lined up my arguments make sense in my head i know where to look for applicable theories etc etc#i just need supporting quotes and im working on that rn!! it hasnt even been that hard#ok. back to work. i need to harness the power of caffeine once more (made my brain quiet) (no longer full of bees) (im in charge)

Hi, do you have any general tips for getting into grad school lol?
I'm trying to get into a clinical psych phD program which I know is very different from what you're doing but hey, I'll take any advice youd like to share ! Also love your art :-)!
I'll just explain how i got to this point and hope theres something worth taking from that.
For me, I did my Masters 1st bc I hadn't done in the lab work until my last year of undergrad and I wasn't sure how I would handle working on a big project and I had a general idea of what I wanted to study but it was still kinda blurry. So, I thought ok 2 years on a project that seems ok, then 4+ on something I really wanna do based on what i learned from my masters. I found my Masters advisor through a string of talking to different people about my interests, reading her papers, and asking if she happened to be looking for students. I sort of stumbled into a good situation on a bit of luck
For my PhD I had a very narrow focus for what I was looking for in terms of research, so there were only like 5 ppl doing exactly what I wanted in english speaking countries. I found them all through reading a bunch of papers, stalking their lab websites and then emailing them like: Hey! I found u through reading X paper, ur research is so cool! Here is how it fits with my interests and here is what I've done that qualifies me to work with you (in as few words as I could manage). Are you accepting students into your lab? And then if they reply that they are: would u be willing to talk with me?
During meetings the questions I always ask (aside from questions abt their research) are: what's your lab space like? How hands on are you as an adviser? What do you like about what you do/what compelled you to take on X research? And then it's also good to ask about their other students (what research they're doing and if you could email them to ask if they like this adviser as a boss/whats it like at the school).
Honestly, I feel like the best advice I could give is treat an interview like it goes both ways. You don't want a boss that sucks so grill them a bit to try to figure out what they're like as a person. And it helps to let a little passion shine thru ✨️
Hope that helps? And good luck!!!
#its a lot easier to get in once you have your masters too bc it demonstrates u can handle grad school#like id get emails back like: oh ur work fits well with my research! and im like: uh yea thats y i emailed u???#but my interests r extremely niche and a bit odd so i guess i kinda come blazing thru like a rogue planet#idk im maybe a bit weird but ive got a lotta passion for what i wanna do when im not drowning#and hopefully that comes thru in interviews even when im rambling around my answers#aha now im procrastinating prepping for those interviews 😅#anyway hope this helps a bit!#mostly for me its finding ppl with the background thst will enable me to do what i want and then trying to fugure out what kind of person#they r and if that fits with how i work#unrelated#lmao literally 2 ppl i got on calls with were like algae??? most ppl try to hide their interest in algae#and im like great its been 2min and uve already called me a freak lmao

Me, too busy with grad school to participate, watching everyone else in the Kirby fandom participate in the OC tournament and art fight
#text post#I wish I could have joined in but I’m an overworked stressed out grad student lmao#I forget if I’ve mentioned this on here before but I’m working on getting my PhD#I hopefully only have a year or so left before I get it and then I’ll be Doctor Sweet#this is going to be a stressful year oh boy 🥲 grad school is lowkey kind of killing me I hope I can finish in the next year#I like what I study it’s just a lot mentally at times and I’ve been feeling kind of depressed lately#I feel bad that I take so long to post art on my blog and update my comic#I really do enjoy drawing Kirby stuff I’ve just got a lot going on in real life and am not always feeling the best mentally#so sometimes I don’t have the time or the mental energy to draw but I am working on the next comic page! I have one panel left to do for it#I’m hoping to post it by this coming weekend Meta Knight starts fighting Whispy on this next page#thank you everyone for your patience it means a lot to see people liking my stuff even if I take forever to post it#I have so much stuff I want to draw and share but not enough time or energy to do it 🥲
