#Past negative experiences

Why some people are scared of maths?

You know friend 's the reason is not that you are bad at mathematics that why you can't solve the problems. In fact there is a fair chance that you are good at it! I know that was my face to even I am bad at mathematics and someone said there is a fair chance you are good at it I fainted. But do you know the reason why you are not able to do mathematics. Is because our brains have something called Working Memory which functions to solve problems. When we do mathematics a lot of space of it is used but when we have math anxiety a significant space of that is taken up, like worrying about mistakes. This leaves less room for focusing to solve the math problems making it harder to perform well. But the exact reason if not known but the primary causes of math anxiety is attributed to past negative experiences such as having a strict mathematics teacher who often speak negatively about your mathematical review. But the good thing is my friends now that we know math anxiety is related to our brain we can control our mindset towards mathematics. Besides writing down your anxious thoughts before a test can help in free up space in "working memory". Make sure that before you attend a test take a walk to ease up the tension or anxiety and relax your muscles. Thank you

Thoughts on the Typhlosion allegations/pokemon teraleaks?

Okay, here’s what I’ll say about that. (And fair warning, it is nothing positive)

I think the fandoms reaction to these “leaks” has been absolutely ridiculous. They are not canon, they do not change pre-existing information present in the games and anime. Concept art is interesting, but things that were scrapped and did not appear in the actual media should not be regarded as fact.

Especially the Typhlosion thing, it’s like if jk Rowling said ‘oh yeah at one point in the writing process I thought Harry Potter would be a girl, but I changed my mind’ and the fandom went ‘oh my god Harry’s been a girl this whole time!’ Like no, a lot of work and ideas go into the concept and development of works like these, and then creators pick and choose the best of their ideas and use that, but I think it’s very problematic to judge them on the concepts that they themselves already decided weren’t good enough to use.

I have very strict opinions about what counts as canon, and that very simply is ‘what is in the work itself’. Unused concepts, things a creator said years later online, and really popular headcanons don’t count. They’ll never count, sorry but that’s not how language works, you can’t just redefine canon to encompass anything that maybe could have been a part of the project. It can be super neat to look at what changes could have been made, but it needs to be understood that that does not impact what the actual game is like.

This Typhlosion thing especially, it *could* be neat if people just took the scrapped stories to go “oh yeah the Pokémon world could have had myths and legends similar to our own! That will be interesting to explore in fan works!” But that’s not what the majority of people did. Instead, people took it to mean that somehow all Typhlosion are secretly evil and shouldn’t be left alone with children and anyone who has one or likes that Pokémon should be ridiculed based on nothing.

Because the stuff that in those leaks (baring things about unreleased games) are nothing. Looking at them in the sense of seeing ‘How It’s Made’ is interesting, fine go for it yeah sure, but they have absolutely no bearing on the actual franchise itself. And I have no patience for the people taking them as gospel and insisting they be considered more true over the actual canon.

negativity under the cut :')

something about the pokemon rpc has been giving me so much anxiety recently and I don't know what to do about it. I miss leon, I want to be here writing him, but then every time I attempt it I feel like my heart jumps into my throat and I just sit here, paralysed and staring at the dash without writing a single word

I'm dealing with this irrational paranoia and it's like ??? I know it's irrational or at the very least not worth stressing myself out over, I do everything I can to tell myself that, but I'm fighting a losing battle against my own brain and I really am stuck on how to move past this. every time I think I'm taking one step forward, a single tiny little insignificant thing will set me three steps back, and the cycle repeats

I want to be here. but I can't force myself to post things on any sort of consistent schedule while I'm in this state

discord writing has been much easier as of late, so I'll be sticking to that until I can get my head back on straight. I encourage all mutuals who want to interact to add me there: my discord name is pompompluto

tumblr-wise, I'll be in other fandoms until I get over this. @experthiese and @funkaliicious are my focuses right now, and there's a spiderverse canon that's been a long time coming

I hope to be over this soon, but! mwah, love you all, just know I'm thinking of you in the meantime

I genuinely love Hwang Daseul’s work and I think it’s beautiful and thought provoking but I have just one, big problem with both Let Free The Curse of Taekwondo and To My Star 2.

In both shows the director writes a character with almost no flaws and then makes them get hurt and borderline (verbally and emotionally) abused by the love interest, because of the love interest’s internal issues, and in the end the characters say sorry and make up almost as if the love interests never said those hurtful things.

(I can still be wrong about let free the curse since the show is not done yet)

To me personally, seeing the love interests struggle with trauma and guilt, and them saying sorry once, is not enough of compensation and assurance that they won’t act this way again 🤷

I really hope let free the curse will take more time to get through not only the past trauma but also Dohoe’s current behavior because Juyoung never deserved to be treated like this.

again and again i find myself lamenting that audio roleplay isn't taken more seriously by some people. like yeah, they often have a romantic element, and by nature they usually directly involve/address the listener- and i totally get that those things aren't to everyone's taste. no art or entertainment is universally appealing, and that's okay! but.. it still makes me a lil sad that the "cringe" reputation of asmr/audio rp precedes it. there's a whole lot of talent and creativity being poured into these audios by so many people that i feel goes unrecognized and/or disrespected simply due to the medium that the stories are being told through.

im so fucking mad abt the therapy thing i cant even express it Im gonna make a zine abt it later i think

[dearansur]

it's tiresome to explain to anyone why I disappear. but I feel the overwhelming desire to be unseen and untouched and forgotten and it's difficult to put it in words without sounding like a madman.

It was my one year blog anniversary today (or technically yesterday in my timezone as I post this) and I'm feeling sentimental 🥺

So I just wanted to reminisce a little and more importantly say a huge thank you to anyone I've ever talked to on here for always being so warm and lovely and kind to me 💕💞💕

I've actually never been part of an online space for a fandom like this before, or at least, I definitely haven't been an active participant in one. I've always been too scared, or thought myself too shy and introverted, and since I've never been too creative either, it didn't feel as if I had anything to contribute.

But then again, I've never been made to care so deeply about an artist before BTS either, so I guess it's no surprise that exactly my love for them would inspire and give me a final push to join an online space like this and be an active part of it.

And this experience has been so overwhelmingly positive for me that I can't help but gush about it a little now. I swear I'm not being overly dramatic when I say that being a part of this community has opened a new side of me that I honestly didn't know existed to this extent. A side of me that's much more empathetic, gentle and kind. One that gains joy from sharing in other people's happiness. Seeing people openly express so much emotion and love and praise, both for the people they admire and each other, and bond over all of that has been incredibly healing to me.

Now I know this is just the beauty of fandom in general, but as I said, my experience before this was only watching from the sidelines. Being involved is entirely different and much more fulfilling of course.

Through all of this I've met the most talented, kindest, understanding, funny and wonderful people. I cherish every single interaction and friend I've made on here and I can't wait to meet more lovely people. So yeah, I just wanted to thank the wonderful people on here for being who they are and thus shaping this community that I'm so glad I'm a part of 💞💕💞💕💞💕💞

ngl it sort of pisses me off the way adults regard Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen at times. Which could be a very interesting and poignant point in a good way if well written, but as it is it becomes mainly just frustrating and sad in a negative way.

Nanami saying Gojo never cared about anything or anyone other than himself crashes interestingly with Kusakabe saying the whole situation was just all his fault because he refused to kill Itadori. The students are very aware of those aspects of Gojo's personality, but overall they seem to regard him with way more kindness and fondness even when at their rudest, not truly coinciding with either Nanami's or Kusakabe's views.

Very tempted to draw my super old ratchet and clank oc I made when I was younger even though it's been literal YEARS since I thought about them.

But Negative will rise again lol

500 words this morning. Slowly, slowly, piecing together this chapter.

I was focusing too much on the step by step of character A does x, followed by character B does y. Instead, I am going to present it slightly distanced. What is in her mind, how certain things feel in the air around her.

The end of the chapter is dialog which will be much easier.

unusual question but what social media do you think is trans-friendly (and no, imo terfblr isn't)

I mean, I've personally accepted that because most social media is, in some ways, a reflection of broader society (even in small ways) that there isn't any one social media that's "clean" of any bigotry, even transphobia.

Instead, what I think people should do is work with the tools a social media platform gives them. Essentially, curate your experience. I used to pride myself on never blocking people, never fighting back, being docile and letting people say the most unhinged things they wanted about me and my transness, but the only person who hurt in the long run was me. I thought that the more "accepting" I was for anything, the better I was as a person because I never was a person. I didn't allow myself to experience anything, and so I kind of let social media be just as unwelcoming as my real life felt.

Maybe there is a small social media that I'm not aware of, but in terms of larger ones (e.g., twitter, facebook, instagram), I don't think they are at all free from transphobia, especially when algorithms are based in engagement, and seeing how anger and division drives so much engagement.

If you want to use these more well-known social media, I think you have to not let yourself be passive. You have to moderate your experience if you want it to be pleasant. Block people, leave groups if you find any hint of bigotry, keep debates about transness to a minimum if you're the debate type, report things that go against ToS, know that you don't have to deal with anything that doesn't make you comfortable.

I know of some smaller platforms, but I have not tried them. I have the most experience with larger, more well-known social medias, and I don't believe any of them are broadly trans-accepting. I know from experience, however, that this isn't the whole of the platform you choose. There will always be people who want to be trans-accepting, you sometimes just have to find them.
