#and i could be wrong

[embodiment-of-sloth]

(So, I live in an area that was seriously impacted by Hurricane Helene. I'm alive. Not hurt. But, there is no power in my city. Trees are everywhere. An inch of water got in my room, and i had to act fast to save my tech. So I probably won't be on for a long while....stay safe ya'll.)

Stranger Things is going to end with like a little voiceover by dead character, or a lead whose going to discover themselves or something, and it's like emotional, and the sun is shining, and there is a montage of all the characters like, healing, happy, or otherwise having their character arcs are destroyed, and it's all going to be about the power of friendship and about the power of surival and the power of choice nostalgia, the power of 3 million dollars per episode, blah blah, and a question like "If you don't believe this.." and the final line will be: "Well, stranger things have happened", the finale recieves average reviews, stranger things trends for about two weeks, before it's forgotten forever by the mass public

if the sealord is being poisoned that actually would be interesting to compare and contrast to the sweetsleep plot and ive been considering it a bit. its really speculative bc grrm has been withholding a lot where the sealord is concerned. arya doesnt know much so neither do we. nor is she involved (yet) where as sweetsleep gate is already playing out in the text.

sansa has been made aware of littlefinger's plan to kill sweetrobin and claim his birthright via her marriage to harry. thats well underway in her twow chap: sansa is placating sweetrobin while continuing to have him sedated with sweetsleep so she can entice harry without interruption.

in arya's twow chap she is dealing with other plotting and the sealord is still on the peripheral. but he is sick and arya's assassination of raff will cause him even more "trouble". which suggests the faceless men are working against him in this at least.

i believe that with littlefinger's revelation at the end of her final affc chap sansa understands the plot and the method, but theres no indication that sansa intends to stop anything. she's been convinced that she has everything to gain from the kid's death. all she has to do is close her eyes. sansa is good at that. arya is not. if the FM are the ones poisoning the sealord arya will discover it at some point and she won't be able to just turn away (or potentially finish the job). i think arya would intervene out of loyalty to syrio if nothing else.

the stark girls tend to react differently to things and i think these plots are no exception. sansa isn't evil, but she's trying to play the game now. arya is playing a dangerous game too with the FM, but she has nothing to gain from killing the sealord. i think thats the biggest difference here. plus arya really still feels an immense debt to syrio for his lessons and his sacrifice. lysa, on the other hand, tried to kill sansa. if she feels loyalty to anyone its littlefinger. for now.

theres, obviously, a lot of "if"s here but the way it would parallel sansa's current plot is a compelling reason to me for a similar aspect to occur in arya's storyline too.

maybe it makes me a shitty friend but I think my best friend is about to ask me if I can drive her to her ex-boyfriend’s house tomorrow which is like a 3 hour drive (her car is having issues) and it’s because she’s going to fly out of his city to go on a trip, but like….. over the past week I haven’t had a single day that I didn’t spend the majority of the day in the car, so I really really really really don’t want to spend 6 hours in the car tomorrow if that’s what she’s about to ask me to do. I want to spend one day of my week off home alone without anyone around to perceive me and no responsibilities or anything other than laying in my bed and reading or writing or bingeing a show on Netflix

interesting observation but most millenials i know are the most private persons i've ever met while most gen z-ers i know have no concept of privacy and will post many parts of their lives online

[nattaphum]

me two days ago: I’m not a tinhatter

me today: /putting on my clown costume/

ahahahahdkdhkhks anon ooooh my god

it's just that i don't usually fall for things like social media activity, particular sentences during an interview, gazes... this type of things is really cute but i dont fall for them

my weakness is when something spontaneous happens.. like yesterday with that touch when mile needed help with the translation and today with that audio. I didn't give too much relevance to that touch yesterday but then today this happens and i'm just a bit out of focus right now djkdjks

let's just say that i didn't expect their friendship to be so special :D

[americas-saboteur]

Ky is down. Something about the way he fell made me laugh...like a fish flopping, but sturdy.

[queen-scribbles]

I popped in to check something with Vica and she had an “Item Recovery” email with the armor I’m 90% sure I had on a Certain Yellow Twi’lek when last she saw him, so now I’m 👀👀👀👀

not 100% bc it’s been like 5 or 6 years so I can’t remember for sure xD

RWBY Volume 8 Prediction: Hazel’s Sacrifice

Okay I finally got around to sitting down to rewatch the episode and I have another prediction:

I think that Hazel is going to be the one to carry the bomb into the whale. I think that both him and Emerald will learn the truth via the lamp and they’ll both defect. We’ve assumed that Emerald’s got a redemption arc on the books since way back when, but I don’t think Hazel will get a full redemption (or that anyone wants a full redemption for him). However, I do believe that he will get an ending where he chooses to sacrifice himself for the greater good, and that that will be the redemption he gets.

The rest is under the read more but the above is the tl;dr:

Here’s how I think it’s going to go: Hazel and Emerald go for the lamp and learn the truth. It clicks with Hazel that Oz wasn’t the one who killed Gretchen, but the creatures of Grimm did, and right now he’s serving the Grimm’s master. Gretchen made her own decisions, and died because of Grimm, not because of the man who was trying to teach her how to protect people. Hazel will realize that he’s been in the wrong and that he’s made a mistake, and I think that there’s going to be an (un)healthy amount of self-hatred when he realizes what he’s done in the name of the person who is actually responsible for his sister’s death, and that he’s the bad guy here no matter how he tries to spin it. Yang, Jaune, and Ren are going into the whale to get Oscar, and they’re going to face opposition, which of course includes Hazel and Emerald. They’ll explain that there’s a bomb on it’s way in and they’re running out of time. And Emerald and Hazel will have to make a decision about who they trust, what they believe, and what they’re going to do next.

Meanwhile, outside, Winter and the Ace-Ops are having second thoughts because they’re meant to set the bomb (which if we’re to assume anything is going to be massive because I mean they’re trying to destroy the whale) and...what? Run? Stay? Hope they make it far enough away in time or hope their aura is strong enough to take the hit? Or just accept that they’re going to their deaths? Either way they’re not going to be sure about what they’re doing, and even if they’re “following orders” and “doing the right thing” they can’t suppress their uncertainty and their fear, because as Oz said, “The single quality that is common across every living creature on this planet is fear”. There’s going to be confusion about what they’re doing and enough hesitation and arguing that that bomb’s not going anywhere with them.

But then here come Yang, Ren, Jaune, Oscar...and Emerald. And Hazel. Emerald wants to live and she doesn’t want the world to be destroyed and she finally realizes that she’s been manipulated and used and that Salem and Cinder don’t care about her. Hazel realizes that he’s playing for the wrong team and he’s not ready to consign the rest of the world to the void when he thought he was working to make it better. And Hazel realizes that he’s never going to get true justice, and that he’s irrevocably f*cked up and that there’s no way he can fix this. But he looks down at that bomb and realizes that even if he can’t go back and erase his mistake, he has one chance right now to do something right.

And I think Hazel’s going to take the bomb, and he’s going to take it directly to Salem, and even if he knows that all he’s doing is slowing her down, even if he knows that this won’t kill her, even if he knows she’ll still come back, he’ll know that he bought the rest of the world time. 

And, in this way, he avenged his sister.

you um sound a bit too rude i don't think we forget about 12th we are all just assuming like... adore you is coming out anyway so like.. we'll just wait and see lol

but did they really introduce a side mlm romance with Curly and Bentley and then make Bentley an asshole that lied???

[vowel-in-thug]

Thank you so much, Gemma, for your thorough and supremely helpful reply!! I have queued up Psycho on Netflix and blame you in advance for any resulting trauma. I wish you the loveliest of days!

Ohh!! Well I’m glad you’re still gonna watch it even if i’ve spoiled it. enjoy anthony perkins in all his cuteness and TALENT, and the first ever toilet showed on the silver screen

[deejayers]

Hey dice peeps, do any of yall recognize what these are?

[imagesinhead]

I’m literally begging an actually good/skilled/talented/unafraid music reporter/journalist? to interview frank ocean... because like... I just feel like there’s so much potential there that’s not being fully reached by his essays and interviews by his friends/coworkers?

[allonsymiddleearth]

So I’m taking this graduation survey from my school’s psychology program and god. I’m going to put the longer part of my rambling rant at my school under a cut, but I thought this one deserved to be above it.

So first there’s this:

[[image reads: “your Psychology courses at the University of Arizona have contributed to your ability to apply ethical standards to evaluate psychological sciences and practice.” with options “strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, or strongly agree.” Strongly disagree is highlighted.]]

actually laughed out loud. The U of A psych department knows SO MUCH about ethics, clearly, with professors leaving due to racism experienced while other, tenured, professors take money from a literal actual eugenics fund and no one official bats an eye because, hah, who cares? Being supported by eugenicists doesn’t make you one, obviously!! (It does here, sry.) Also I spent a whole fucking semester with Eugenics Scrooge, telling you all the bullshit she came up with, and she’s still teaching the same fucking class at this very moment and no one talked to her about it, so I’m gonna guess no. 

Also there’s this little quiz at the end testing whether they managed to teach us basic psychological concepts and THEY ABSOLUTELY DID NOT. 

My first semester here I actually took PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGY and we spent absolutely no time whatsoever, at all, learning about idk, relevant topics to personality?? We learned that there WERE personality disorders, we did not learn what they were, and unfortunately we did not cover the Big Five even in title. 

Now, pre-University of Arizona, I was actually interested in the field of psychology research so I do know a bit, but only because I used to read studies on my own, plus I’ve read tons of medical journals out of necessity for my own survival with a semi-rare disease so I may not know everything about those fields, but I have a pretty good idea of the scientific method, of research standards, and of academic writing. And I have friends who are social workers, half my family has psych degrees, and a lot of people in both those groups including myself have actually been to therapy so I have some basic knowledge on topics like what cognitive behavioral therapy is and what the Big Five are (it’s the first option.) 

But DAMN nothing highlights how bad my education really has been like seeing what the actual people in charge of my education THINK they should have taught me, knowing they haven’t even a little.

There was a little spot on the survey in which I could tell them how to improve the program, and I was like, “I literally know almost nothing more about psychology than when I started this degree, with the exception of a few studies I’ve read now that I easily could have read for free in the public domain and not paid more money than I’ll ever make in my lifetime for professors to take the easy way out of actually teaching an online class. Hey also, I would have had a MUCH better time here if the U of A would decide that eugenics wasn’t okay and not have a professor literally teach the class that humanity would be better off if people like me were dead but hey, at least the academic advisors in the psych program are good, sure!” except slightly more professionally... slightly. 

Anyway, I go to school in The Bad Place honestly.
