Duolingo being like “this is the 15th time you’ve misspelled this word, you’re on thin ice” and my ass is fucking crying because I probably have dyslexia but didn’t get diagnosed as a kid and now I’m being reminded of it all over again when trying to learn another language for the first time since highschool
#emma posts#I am just very bad at spelling and making sentences in other languages. I am sorry#I think this is also why I keep forgetting Spanish stuff#even though my first Spanish class was in the first year of first grade (I got held back) and I got the Spanish teacher for second grade#she switched from Spanish teacher to second grade teacher but would give her students lessons#and then took a class in middle school#and it’s the language I’m most exposed to after English#this might sound weird but learning about the history of Germanic languages including Norwegian and English has actually made it slightly#easier to learn Norwegian but I’m still doing worse than I’d like and couldn’t contribute to a conversation#why is making new sentences so much harder than figuring out someone else’s?#it’s sort of like physics class was except I actually want to do this and I’m not in school#I don’t even want to think about trying to learn a language outside of the ones in the pie family#I think I’d die before succeeding and that’s not something I would use much anyway compared to the ones I’m interested in#I don’t think knowing two Icelandic words and some snack names before I started school counts as being bilingual 😅#I’m just sad my grandparents weren’t speaking their other languages by the time I was born#my mom’s parents weren’t even taught much Icelandic by their parents#but my dad’s parents were bi (or tri) lingual as kids#and both of my parents had taken classes on at least one other languages before I was born but didn’t use them so they forgot#what was this post about again?

highschool was good for 2 things 1) drawing in class and 2) the thrill of balancing chemical equations everything else was sisyphus and that damn boulder
#i also really liked writing poetry but thats gay im not adding that#if i took an art class ever in my life maybe it’d make the list too. but alas. self taught warrior#anywho. sorry to my friends in middle school i handed out valentines to that only had chemical equations written on them#to me it was equivalent to a valentine. to me#post-its

These kids are too damn nice to their teachers, but to be fair, I also struggle with confrontation….. soooo I’d probably be smiling in their faces and calling them ‘sir’ and ‘miss’ while we all pretended we weren’t actively at war outside of school hours, too
#like at least with victor they didn’t have to really play nice at school#but with all the teachers???#dawg i just know the herculean strength it took these kids and adults not to crash out in the middle of class#like u convinced me i was losing my mind & were chanting shit in my basement less than twelve hours ago and now you’re teaching me science?#or#you held me hostage in your house and now i’m handing you my homework#and from the adults perspective too#like i know damn well you stole all my shit but here’s your graded essay back! great work!#you bugged my house with cameras and microphones hope your exams go well!#you were snooping in my room you cretin here’s breakfast!!!#tbh i too would just be smiling thru the pain#what else can you do??#alfie tried attacking a teacher during school hours and look how that ended#house of anubis

To the illiterate people with 0 reading comprehension that I have seen on tik tok today claiming that Maven deserved Mare, that it was stupid and "unfair" that he didn't get her, and that clearly with his trauma and what his mother did to him he deserved her:
I would just like to issue a sincere Fuck You to you and any future illiterate children you produce.
#red queen#glass sword#kings cage#war storm#it took so so much will power not to ANNIHILATE them#I swear#books like SJM and rebecca Yarrow and others like them are PROMOTING THIS BULLSHIT THINKING#I am going to scream#I literally cannot be apart of the reading community anymore if these are the thoughts people are having#this is utterly ridiculous#tell me you didn't pay attention in middle school english class without telling me#tell me you lack reading comprehension without telling me#tell me you lack basic human brain power without telling me#i'm old and I am angry#this is just ridiculous now#must we cycle though the same stupid rhetoric over and over again?#dear lord#If I hear one more person say he “deserved” her#I'm going to push them in front of a bus

Do y’all think Ashe has sat there and begged the other three to just tell her what being able to go to school was like for them… how it felt to sit in a classroom, how it felt to be able to have lunch around others and what they’d have, how intimidating the hallways were and if there were really cool clubs to join.. what having that party felt like, even. What having those people around to have the ability to have a party was like. Cause I do. Cause I do a lot
#cause… she’s probably been homeschooled for bascially as long as she could teach herself for#as soon as she had the signs of being able to keep herself afloat Mark probably took her out of physical classes#So of course she knows to some degree what schools like#but highschool? even the late years of middle school? do you think she was able to go to those?#maybe middle school#but seriously.. high school?#do you think she was able to go to open house? do you think she got to walk down the halls and find all the classes she could’ve been in#only for Mark to tell her she was being put in online?#god#jrwi#jrwi pd#prime defenders#ashe winters#jrwi prime defenders#jrwi ashe winters#jrwi mark winters#moomins yapping<3#jrwi hc

i keep getting tiktoks of these younger gen z kids referencing a time they did something relating to fandom in public and now they're embarrassed by it and everytime i see one i sit there thinking over all of middle and high school and having genuinely 0 moments that i feel embarrassed by, like i definitely did a lot of shit these kids would be embarrassed by but i think these are all just really fucking funny
also photographic evidence of the kinda kid i was. these are from 2014/15 when i was in 8th grade
-desolation row one shot(still on wattpad gerard way/reader smut)
-twerk it on (mcr crack fanfic no longer on wattpad but i have another fic in my library called twerking in taco bell which definitely ALSO used for my reading log)
-frank iero must die(a serial killer/assassin frerard fic, still on wattpad)
-hair (really vague maybe a phanfic? nowhere in my wattpad library rip)
my binder i used in 7th grade i had a blue one that looked pretty similar to this for 8th grade but idk where it went, also the parts i scribbled out are my full legal name i had written on it. i wrote it normally and then the big spot is where i wrote my name REALLY BIG in elysian code from the vladimir tod books. also the lines are from when i used an exacto knife to cut up some papers and forgot that my binder was underneath
in conclusion yall can now see why im so shameless about talking about shigaraki the way i do
#base line i started sobbing IN THE MIDDLE OF MATH CLASS and had my phone taken away bc i was watching the mv for the ghost of you by mcr#i went to school with cat whiskers#me and my bsf made a presentation about an imaginary trip to the planet uranus and we filled it with so many memes and butt puns she started#laughing so hard she couldn't breathe and i had to do the entire presentation alone and we got a standing ovation#my 8th grade science teacher hated us#another time same class we had an assignment where we had to make a bunch of words with the periodic table and we did shrek and lucifer one#after another and when we turned it in our teacher read it and immediately told us to leave💀💀#same class again different friend we saw NA on the periodic table and started singing nanana by mcr and got sent out of class bc we started#laughing so hard we couldn't breathe#high school i would eddie munson on the lunch tables#found that aspect of eddie so relatable#filmed youtube videos at my old hs that STILL EXIST ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL#id honestly have them up for anyone to see but my old bsf found them extremely embarrassing and she thinks i deleted them#i used to go to school with a whole library in my backpack like the entire pjo/hoo series of unfortunate events harry potter etc#my backpack had a bunch of doodles on it and it said battaco big asf and it was an inside joke with my friends for years bc of it#i also used to go to school dressed as frank iero/gerard way/etc#pete wentz eyeliner#larped with the anime club in this little corner outside of the library bc it had a bunch of trees and a 6 ft long stick that we took turns#holding and screaming YOU SHALL NOT PASS‼️‼️#the middle school book club had movies days on fridays and when people tried to vote to watch the lighting thief movie i stood on my chair#and spent so long bitching about how bad it was that we had to do the movie the next monday bc people needed to go home and the librarian#could not stop my righteous fury#a teacher assaulted me trying to get me to stand for the flag so i dead weight dropped on top of him and then ran around the class to stay#away(real hard to do in a small music classroom) and when i got tired of that i beat him up a little and i didnt get in trouble bc he was#really embarrassed i got the drop on him(bc i had tiddies)#that man hated me for being trans#really got mad at me when the pledge started after that and id get up and salute while singing welcome to the black parade#was also genuinely bad at soccer that my teacher sent me off to other teachers when our class did soccer bc the only time i ever got the#ball i kicked it into the wrong goal#i got more stories but i ran out of tags :(

really interesting to me how everyone in my indigenous reconciliation seminar is always like yeah i wasn’t taught any of this (horrible cdn history, treaties, lack of rights, indian act, indian agents, reserves, etc) in elementary/high school i’ve never heard of this stuff before. which is obviously not their fault and good that my university requires all students to take indigenous courses so that everyone gets equal knowledge. however the weird thing to me is that i was taught all of this in my schools. i joked about it at the time saying i attended liberal woke school but like i actually did??
#well okay my middle school was an alternative school so that tracks#but my elementary and high schools were just regular tdsb schools#my middle school made us take an equity class and our history classes were in depth#and i also took social justice in grade 12#idk. trudeaus canada i guess#which is not to say that my schools were not also a breeding ground for racism because the stuff that went down#was so bad it genuinely made the news#but there were some w

my thesis statement will of course always be that the angels + demons in good omens are aspec (and nonbinary) but crowley specifically was so aromantic this season. man who goes "oh, romance? yeah, i know how that works. practically an expert. i've picked up so much from the way that people talk about it and represent it in media. i know all the perfect steps to execute romance. it has nothing to do with personhood and feelings; there's a certain list of requirements, certain steps that you take, certain subjective prerequisites to be fulfilled, and then you'll have romance. easy. simple." when he has no idea how romance actually works because it's never been something that was accessible or valuable to him. the general conventions for love seem so simple from the outside when you pick up an idea of it through cultural osmosis but not any real experience or investment in the idea. maggie and nina come in to tell him that he can't be messing with people's love lives because it's serious and personal but how should he know? when you're outside of it and don't even realize that you're outside of it, romance is just a thing that happens. and it seems so simple...
#screaming wailing throwing things punching walls that's aro representation actually#when i say the angels and demons are all aspec and nonbinary. i of course mean That in a sense of like.#they don't align with any of our constructions of sexuality or gender because they're not built with the same inner workings#but by our definitions they're closer to those concepts than to 'conventional' conceptions of gender and sexuality#anyway crowley is so me walking into my middle school classes on the first day of school and picking out a suitable crush for the year#based on effusive criteria that i picked up from media and popular culture and the expectation that i Should have a crush#because those were the steps you took. at least it seemed like that to me.#this applies to aziraphale too of course#when all the romance you've known or seen takes place under awnings in the rain or at jane austen balls. of course it stands to reason#that the same would be true of any love in real life. cause how else would it work#anyway that kiss was so aromantic it's crazy#good omens#good omens 2#aromantic#aro#crowley

love when this is referred to as the gifted kid website. shockingly my mental disorders made me mentally disordered and school never really vibed with that so. couldn’t be me
#ppl always talking about their whatever grade reading level and how many books they’d read as kids and im just over here like🧍🏽#I’ve never been actually bad at english or reading but I couldn’t focus on reading books to save my fucking life#I hated those sheets where you had to read like a certain number of books or whatever over the course of a semester or the year or whatever#my GATE test scores for english were super high but my math was bad enough that I never qualified#and adhd made me not even perform well in English half the time because I couldn’t pay attention I couldn’t read long books I couldn’t turn#in my assignments or if I did they were late and etc etc etc#don’t get me started with math#I was the worst in my class in third grade at minute math and never made it to the levels of minute math my classmates did#(they posted results on the wall for everyone to see)#and in 6th grade I was put into an additional remedial math class#throughout middle-high school I was at the level of most classmates in terms of the classes I took but that’s only because I was not allowe#to fail and was put through absolute fucking hell with a billion tutors and grueling hours of extra work from them and blah blah blah#like I remember how I felt in those tutoring sessions and half the time I actually wanted to cry.#I didn’t start doing solidly genuinely Good in school until senior year of high school.#not coincidentally around the same time I started taking adderall I think#I had accommodations by 9th grade but they didn’t do that much except for the function that let me turn in assignments up to 2 days late#without penalty. which i had teachers question sometimes and i had to pull the Yeah it’s Literally Against The Law to not allow me this car#anyway. point is. i was never in the gate program and most of my friends were and it was mostly adhd related#adhd is considered such a quirky nothing disorder nowadays that I don’t even like mentioning I have it really. because what people think of#when I say the term is Not what i actually dealt with and made school torturous and made my parents lash out at me for things and etc etc#depression and dysphoria did not help either. but I digress#I’m not sure why im making this post#kibumblabs

MAPLESTORY MENTIONED!!!!!
Gods I'm a fucking old-ass veteran of that game. I began playing in 2009 and I actually quit in like 2019 iirc. Few years ago I got a private server, and I was playing up until this year and then just fell out of favor. But damn that game is nostalgic af!!! It's awesome!!! <3 I'm genuinely SO glad to see others who played it!!!!
RIP Lionheart Castle to the Kaiser hackers, and the Demon Slayer spammers. XD
MAPLESTORY MENTIONED <3 i played from 2008 until .... gosh, i don't even remember when i stopped, it sort of fizzled out for me as the game got less fun and more pay to win. the last couple of times i launched it even the biggest hubs were completely empty, no heneseys hoes to be seen even in channel 1 u _ u absolute ghost town. and all my characters are on windia, which used to be one of the most popular servers! Not Anymore I Guess
it's the kind of game that i feel like... even if you're in a popular server or something, even if you're in a private server, it just takes too much dedication to play anymore. it's not really for casual people anymore, the whole community and culture is totally different now and it makes me sad. i feel like 2008 ~ 2014 was Peak and then it started to fall apart after that, too much grinding and not enough fun anymore.
LF > LPQ 😭
#liz blogs#maplestory#ask#it used to be like. my biggest Tism. i was OBSESSSSSSEDDDD WITH IT in middle school it was embarrassing#i remember when the cygnus knights came out. and now there's like 50 fucking classes#i was an aran main o7 i still have some of those skill combos memorized. the og ones anyway from before they changed them 4 times#i could button mash with the best of them#i also really loved playing phantom and luminous though. i remember being able to solo Two levels on nett's PQ on lumi#because he was so overpowered#the game has changed to the point where the last couple times i logged in it was just. not fun anymore. everything i loved is gone#i hear they launched more of a classic server thats more like 'old maplestory' but. none of my characters are there lmao#and the game is still fundamentally different. and i just dont have time for these kinds of games anymore that you gotta play regularly#but man. STAPLE of my childhood. i dont think there's any game i've played more than maplestory legitimately#at least i got my main to lv 200. that was my big goal. i knew people who could do that in 3 days but it used to be a challenge#certainly took me. like. 5 years djhbksdbfhj

there are two wolves inside of you. One of them is fretting that you went through all the effort of making a new art account just to pigeonhole yourself once more into a specific fandom, which holds you back from exploring original art concepts that you care about. The other one came up with three separate ace attorney comic ideas in the last hour alone and isn't stopping anytime soon
#laurellala talks#am i unwell? perhaps#i also drew like 5 more sketchy comics i haven't posted#and a full colored drawing i haven't posted bc i'm overthinking if i need to attach comics to it also or post on its own#i want to draw more muppets interactions and come up with an actual theoretical muppets ace attorney case!#they would get to explore the muppet studio as a location aaa it would be so cuteee#and i'm in the middle of drawing a comic of miles and nick video calling and teasing a young trucy (i love trucy)#and i NEED to draw nick and maya interactions from trials and tribulations case 3 it's so sibling coded agh my heart#also i want to draw lisa basil in general the roboty software company lady#i want to design an ace attorney self insert called Laurel Lyre (you're a liar) and draw sprite expressions and character interactions#she would be an art student that Nick knew from college and she was painting a still life of the scene of the crime#and her painting has something different than how the crime scene looked which is used as proof in court#ALSOOO i had an idea for a silly comic of nick visiting miles in germany (platonic coded)#and of either a comic or short story idea of them going out to dinner together. This one is hard to explain but it would be good#I WANT TO DRAW FRANZISKA TOO i have an angst comic idea for her! And i want to draw her as a kid in dance class#i feel like she has so much scrutiny of herself which is very “i was in dance as a kid” coded. Ballet probably#I ALSO have a comic idea of a holiday party that took place before miles' murder trial but after steel samurai case#where miles begrudgingly talks to phoenix to avoid small talk with strangers and they talk about college#specifically like. it is canon to me that phoenix was in an improv group in college. That's where he learned to bluff. he's so silly#i also want to make a comic of the parents at trucy's school trying to sus out how old nick is#since he's only like what 17 years older than her?#I also want to make a gilmore girls joke but i can't tell if this is too dated to be funny. Do people know this show still#i had never watched it before so i just watched like half a season of it just to make a joke. It's cute.#What Else. I have like 5 animatic ideas but i need to ask my friend what she uses to make hers bc in the past I've used imovie on my phone#do not recommend#and if i don't draw everything RIGHT NOW i'm going to lose interest and nothing will get made!!!!!!#andandand I STILL NEED TO FINISH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONSSSSS#i got sooo far i'm doing so well in the waitress case#i need to finish it so i can finally understand apollo justice and know what the HECK happened in that time skip#ace attorney

i have to imagine i told the story before but i grew up a few houses down from a lady and her husband who run a marionette puppet theater. We called her "the puppet lady" and me and my siblings would hang out at her house all the time (i was like 8). The house was a small like 1-2 bedroom single floor and it was stacked wall to wall with hundreds of realistic but stylized large marionettes. They made them all in their garage and she taught me the art of puppetry which i am still really fascinated with today.
#i went to an art based middle school for one year before getting expelled for having ADHD and i took a puppetry class there which was#also fun but basic compared to just hanging out with that lady and getting tips from her#i've considered messaging her throguh her site and seeing if i can do like a photoshoot series with her but havent gotten around to it

Can you guys rb this or comment with how you pronounce “Goncharov”? I didn’t really think anything of it until one of my friends said it out loud and I was like huh? I think it’s interesting how people can have different pronunciations of a word or name they’ve never heard out loud in their head an not question it. For reference, I’m a native Russian speaker and I’ve always read it like gohn-CHArohv and my US American friend said GAHNCHA-rahv.
#goncharov#pronounciation#languages#russian language#today I remembered that tweet that’s like white people can’t pronounce POC names but they can say Tchaikovsky. and I kinda hate it because#no they can’t they cannot pronounce Tchaikovsky at all. please get a better example#English speakers of any race usually say chai-COUGH-skeee. that’s equivalent to white people calling jalapeños holla-PEEN-yo’s#also when I was in like middle school I took this summer cooking class thing and one day the teacher was quizzing us on food from around the#world and she asked us if we know where pillmini are from. nobody knew so she said they’re actually a type of Russian dumpling! my jaw#dropped when I realized she was trying to say пельмени (pyel’myeni) like ain’t no way#anyway how do you guys say Goncharov#not that there’s a right or wrong way to pronounce a fictional name unlike those real words in the other tags I’m just curious#I mean there’s a right way to pronounce a real person’s name if they’re actually called goncharov but I’m talking about the character

The “Gen Zs/Millennials are like this” posts are so funny to me because 99% of the time they lack the nuance of the fact that there’s a disconnect between older and younger people within every generation. Younger teens in Gen Z who only ever knew 2010s tech and TikTok aren’t gonna have the same technological experiences as early 20 somethings in Gen Z who had the chance to be children without TikTok and with 2000s/early 2010s tech.
#there was this post about Gen Z not being able to use computers and I’m like what I took technology classes all through-#elementary / middle and high school!#we learned internet safety from an early age as well!#like they must be talking about younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha lmao#this is just my personal experience tho!
