I am getting quite an education about college and scholarships. My daughter is a National Honor Society kid. She's actually president of the society at her school. She's been straight As since 9th grade.
I've been warned that despite her academic excellence, she most likely will NOT get any scholarships because we make too much money. We look really, really good on paper.
-super sigh-
Can I pay for her to go to school?
Possibly? Probably?
And I realize that's a huge blessing and privilege.
But, shouldn't she get rewarded for her hard work? Yes, she's been rewarded by being accepted to almost every school she's applied to, but...I don't know. I guess I just thought she'd be rewarded for academic excellence vs. being told, you get nothing because your parents can write a check.
And, yes. I want the kids who really need the money to have it. My kid has so much more than most, but...I don't know.

The dog days are over.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#The childhood flashback is one of my favourite scenes in MDZS and yes I am disapointing myself in how little I am covering it.#If it is any consolation...I'll be bringing JYL's piggyback scene into another comic later on.#There truly is something so specific and yet resonant in the way our bonds as children feel so deep.#But the world doesn't stay as small as it does when you are a kid. The problems you argue about get bigger and more serious.#You still hold so much love for this person despite how much you want to throw hands with them.#To have such a complicated history with someone and then fall apart...You always think you have time to heal the wound.#Why wouldn't you! You've never had anything but time with this person. A brother not in blood but in true and genuine bond.#And then the fucker dies! It's horrible and sudden and the last words you exchanged were cold and awful!#What do you do with those dead end feelings? What do you do but grieve bitterly and angrily?#There is no resolution for all the love you wanted back. There will never be an opportunity to bridge the gap between you.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. Because you thought you had more time.#If anyone dares say Jiang Cheng didn't love WWX I'll be the first to fire up the powerpoint presentation on why he absolutely does.

i don’t know how to properly show up in relationships but notice how in all of them they were terribly halted because i felt an intense insecurity within me that i was not worthy due to so many things about how i just act cause now i think all of that is just adhd as well
#first one being that i wouldn’t date the person who meant the world to me because i genuinely did not see myself as worthy#second one being that while we still did date. i had to ask for a break because i felt so stupidly unworthy#and i kept fantasizing about being one of their comfort characters that they talked to me about#because that meant i was just this person they could project their fantasies on#not this person with like. needs. or who’s just stupid in general idk#idk it just recently came up that although so many things have went wrong i notice how the true core of these problems is stemmed in some#sort of insecurity#and i feel like that started once i decided id stop like. giving into my rsd a lot#it’s whatever tho i have my cheesecake

I think it would be rly sick if you went to go build a crow rook and the surname was Arainai
like…. just another little compradi trying to bring glory back to your house - rinnala and taliesin are dead by the house’s hand, zevran failed and deserted, guili murdered in the night, all semblance of power lost once again. the house is trying to claw its way back up, futile as it seems. that’s the way of house arainai, isn’t it? talon to knife to talon to knife to nothing, same as it’s been since the house first lost power in the early dragon age. but you, bright-eyed little crow, you’ll break the cycle, won’t you? for the family?
after all, caterina’s prized heir is right there - the demon of vyrantium, the infamous mage killer, sleeping just down the hall. you can be quiet, can’t you? all those means at your disposal, and all the opportunities you could want. you could find a way in under that armor, get to something soft and bruisable and make it bleed. he’s far from home, isn’t he? without a friend? confidantes are few and far between - even a demon must get lonely.
maybe he’d even trust you. you’re a clever little bird, right? you can find something to exploit. after all, what does a would-be talon do except claw, except maim? what else would you be good for? there is no gentleness to crows - you are here to deliver a message: run, little demon, quick as you like.
house arainai will make carrion of you yet.
#there is no world in which I think this would happen BUT I think it would be fun#house arainai doesn’t even have beef like this I’m just making it up for sport#just a cute little assassination attempt to enemies to lovers arc for the nerves#I also 1) don’t imagine caterina is dead (but maybe over the course of the game) and 2) I think other succession plans would be followed#but what if someone put a contract out for Lucanis and he realizes that caterina was the one who would’ve had to approve it?#and there’s any number of people who would call in a contract like that in exchange for power#but what is gained in taking one man out from a line of succession? who benefits from his death enough to pay for it?#and then he realizes (whether it’s true or not) that the person who stands to gain the most with such a contract#is illario (who would finally be clear in his path to first talon)?? what then???#ohohoho they didn’t tell me what betrayal Lucanis is coming back from so in my mind I am giving him them all#I know the betrayal will (presumably) be related to the [redacted] thing but I am inventing new problems for fun#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: tevinter nights#lucanis dellamorte#also I wrote this as a little brainworm treat but now I’m like ‘am I……… playing a crow rook??’#(not until I finish my beloved depressed orlesian girlboss warden rook#but maybe someday)#idk man my brain is so rotted from rotating this game and this character around in my mind like a gas station hot dog#went directly from ‘I should write a baseless and unfounded account of this guy whackin’ it’ to ‘and also I want to end his bloodline’#the blorbo dichotomy………….#also ALSO I think it would be even funnier if every faction had to kill their double#mourn watch rook smothering peepaw with a pillow for the grave crime of uhhhhh kidnapping manfred from the necropolis#SOMEONE PUT THAT OLD MAN DOWN HE’S TEACHING THE SKELETON THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE#da thoughts

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.
*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*
No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.
#and no I didn't tag the solo series like I normally would because it's not about THAT. It's not about trying to get people to read it#It was just really ouchie to see the same concept I wrote 2 years ago get triple the notes in ONE MONTH.#and double the notes of my solo series masterlist in general in one month vs 2 years of my stories sitting there rotting#Then I see people saying they need more solo Eddie and I'm just here like my dudes I begged for requests. BEGGED. But bc I wasn't#/have never been a popular writer people don't want it from ME. It's like omg we want THIS but not like that. Not from you.#Can't help but let it get you down when nothing has changed in 2 years. It's not like I worked my way up and have the interaction now#that every other blog I used to commiserate with back in the day is getting currently. Fandom isn't a competition but it's not fair either#and I really struggle with that a lot of the time#Also yes I will concede I should be happy with the notes on the solo series because they are the highest of all the work on my page but#they're still nothing compared to what some people have just hours after posting a new story.#I saw someone complaining the other day that there are less new stories in the fandom than ever 1. That's simply not true. 2. Even if it wa#can you blame writers for giving up when readers are checking the same popular blogs over again or reading the same 5 tropes the same#2 pairings over and over. The same series?

I'm learning that the normal things that bore people (long car rides, stereotypical chores like cleaning, waiting in a line, etc) are actually things I tend to be perfectly content doing, which makes me wonder if maybe when I say I'm bored, it's actually something else.
Like for context I'm disabled and because of it I don't have school or work. I also don't have any public activities I participate in recreationally like clubs or something. So I'm just sitting alone at home all day, no money or car because of my disability. And I can only focus for so long on things like Netflix or YouTube. I can't get into video games anymore, I can't focus on drawing usually.
It's to the point that I've started getting annoyed when people talk about how "everyone" has stuff they need to do because *I don't* and I fucking hate it. I don't know, maybe it's just a lack of meaning in my life? Like there's no real reason for me to do anything... no one *needs* me to draw, to watch TV, to play video games... the only useful things I do are talk to other people and clean, but whenever I can't do those things, I think I may as well be asleep
#first world problems again but yeah#i know i complain a lot but i am genuinely trying to problem solve#id love to say 'i wont die if i cant fix this' but that might only be half true since this constant feeling of boredom and meaninglessness#can really trigger sh and suicidal urges for me#im supposed to be getting adhd meds again soon and thats great and all but why do i even need them??#theres nothing i need to accomplish. nothing i need to focus on#i really am just here cause a handful of people like me

this is so funny to me actually bcuz this is 100% how i talk abt my characters ages. i know what YEAR they were born and i know what rheir ages are supposed to be at the start of the story but i dont actually know when it takes place?? im really bad at math. There was a moment where rainbow was supposed to be 23 and i somehow accidentally made her 17 lmfao
#theoretically it would take place in 2021 bcuz thats when i created my object ocs but the more time passes#the weirder it feels to have it take place years in the past#i considered moving up their birthdays by a few years but like. idk i like their birthdays theyre cute :3#bubblegum is SUPPOSED TO BE 15 and she was born july 2007#watermelon is supposed to be 7 and he was born june 2014#etc etc#starr is 27 and she was born september uhhh 1995 or 1997 i actually dont remember. whichever one makes sense#also that would mean building block was born in 2020 and since she's always gonna be a baby the furhter away we get#it means that she wouldnt have even been born when the story is actually supposed to take place. Like#i know their birthdays and their ages and what year they were born everybody else has to do the math#to figure out wtf is going on because I DONT KNOW#also that means that building block would be a pandemic baby lmao 😭#what was rhe vibe in nigeria in august 2020 during the pandemic. well i say that like it even happened in their universe#which there really isnt any reason for that to be true#it isnt historically important to mention like..... world war two or slavery or whatever. fucking obviously. in the context of objects#it gets messy so its better to just Not#also the months the characters were born really fuck me up bcuz jayden was born in late december#so for most of the first year that they met he would be.... younger than he actually is being born in 2003#but since building's block birthday and exact age is the most important timeline-wise#and she was born august 14th 2020 and she's seven months old when they first meet#then it canonically would take place in march 2021 which was my original intention#bcuz that is the actual date that i first created my object ocs#ANYWAY. boring character age ramblings#but its hard to keep track of so i dont even blame the author!!!! birthdays are weird and hard to keep up w/#when you dont know exactly when your story is supposed to take place#assuming its in a normal-ish world im sure fantasy ocs dont have this problem#txt#object ocs

white they in my class yesterday was critiques on there being little to no dramatic conflict in their story, and they justified that by saying "well, I believe conflict is a western way of writing stories. eastern stories like some ghibli films dont have any conflict. if i dont want to add conflict to a story, i dont." which annoyed me but i want to ask. am i crazy for thinking thats a super reductive way to look at eastern storytelling?
#first off i dont think its TRUE that ghibli movies are conflictless. but besides that#seems a little racist to look at all of eastern storytelling like theyre more enlightened than the westerners who put problems into fiction#but i honestly dont know that much abt eastern literature it just SEEMS off to me#idk if im just annoyed because this person wouldnt tak critique (which annoys me the most out of anything in the world.)#vent#also ya ya ya you love conflictless eastern storytelling but ur white in america rn. do you think u can hack out an attempt to replicate#..another hemisphere's literature in your three month short story workshop? good luck.

getting pissed off that the [redacted] url like perfect spelling is run by a cryptoterf. u dont deserve to use her name....
#its also so annoying as well when u search trans on these blogs#and then the first results r always moaning and crying abt how the world is prejudiced abt lesbians and say theyre all transphobic#and how horrible that u cant even breathe without ppl accusing u of being a terf#and then u scroll down and its like. oh! ...but you are tho! hope this helps<3#like if ur only complaint abt the terf side of radfem tumblr is that they're 'single issue minded'... bestie.#and also re: the lesbians are transphobic stereotype like yes obviously YOU individually do fulfil that brief#but otherwise its such a niche chronically online problem? im out irl and no one has ever assumed im a transphobe bc im a lesbian#if anything they assume im gonna b more sympathetic bc im also lgbt. which is true#idk. tumblr sure is a place i guess

Having brain worms. What if uhhhhhh SOS Mianite au
#this is a fully undeveloped idea but it is simmering#initial thoughts. mog is so champion of ianite. fwip is dianite's.#I'm not convinced of who mianite's is yet but i feel like sausage is desperately vying for the role and getting repeatedly rejected#oli ends up as a reluctant ianitee. he was originally a dianite follower but dianite found him annoying and was a dick so oli ditched him.#ianite finds him funny and decides to pick him up and now he's trying very hard not to mess it up bc she actually respects him#joel would claim not to need any stupid god until he sees how much fun fwip is having causing problems on purpose with dianite and gives in.#his wife joining up with dianite probably also doesn't desuade him in that department#jimmy isn't particularly keen on any of them. he's off doing his own thing#katherine feels very classic mianitee to me.#I've got mixed feelings on Pix. i kind of feel like he should be on his own thing (priest? wizard? something like that)#if not he's ianitee i think. but it takes him awhile to commit#joey's dianitee. eloise feels ianitee to me. shubble probably mianitee.#is that everyone? i think that's everyone#idk if this would be a scenario where the world/plot was more based on mianite or sos honestly#maybe a healthy mix.#do we keep the death/fate coin element? idk idk maybe not? but it doesn't feel like sos without some hardcore element#gotta sit on it#this is the first time in a long time I've just done like straight up stream of consciousness brainstorming in the tags of a post huh#feels very 2020#OWEN I FORGOT OWEN. UH. i feel like he might help balance out the mianite team. i can't put it into worlds but it feels right#he's the type of guy that you look at and immediately think dianite and you're wrong#but i could be tempted to switch him and joey. cause joey did have the whole prison thing in sos which is very mianite#even if he's generally the most dianitee guy i have ever fucking seen#i. i also forgot scott.#embarrassing. I've been watching him the longest and he's the only one on this list I've actually written into mianite crossovers before#uhhhh anyways he feels very true neutral to me. he's another one who i feel like maybe he should be off doing his own thing#if not probably mianite#this is such a mess lmao#i had to put the idea down somewhere before my head exploded sorry

Why do the folks of my native land insist on believing that because I'm American I must love Starbucks with my entire soul.
Don't get me wrong, I can't live without coffee. But the only thing from Starbucks I've ever cared for is pumpkin spice latte.

i still think s4 of succession was a carefully crafted semi failure and i actually have way too much to say about it so i chose to say nothing
#i liked the ending completely but everything between s3 finale and s4 finale was…Not That Good#marcia stewy greg willa all characters destined for greater plot importance and involvement being reduced to just… things#and the problem isnt that Well it is the roys world so obv their lack of importance means the roys didnt care about them bcs first of all#connor fell victim to it too at some point and hes a roy#secondly all of these characters had moments where you’d be like.. oh work it makes sense nd then it was total abondonment of any buildup#theres also literal textual contradictions about relationships like tomshiv the siblings tomgreg greglogan etc#like they either needed to include more scenes they deleted#or not give out the scripts bcs i keep reading and i keep getting more annoyed#or maybe give it a fifth season. idfk#‘tomshiv are greatly compatible in sex’ no theyre not. thats textually not true jesse armstrong#stewy reduced to nothing but kendall’s sneaky friend like thats actually criminal#omg the GERRI stuff. just remembered

So I really like Wrightworth but my thoughts about them are complicated, probably because they're complicated and it's a very strange feeling.
Is it normal to...
Have an OTP
Truly want them to be happy with each other and have some relief after all their canon angst
But wonder if happiness/forgiveness/understanding even possible because of said canon drama that happened between them?
Or am I drastically overthinking something that's Not That Deep.
Sincerely asking for me, and anyone else who might feel this way.
#Lynn speaks#not posting in the main ship tags#this is definitely a me problem#if it's actually a problem#sincerely I want the fluff!#but part of my brain says that's impossible#that to write fluff would only wrote Wrightworth on a surface level#and not their True selves#sigh#fandom problems#first world problems#grade A confusion
