I'm Jewish, specifically Ashkenazi. Due a genetic bottleneck event in Ashkenazi Jewish history Ashkenazim have to be more concerned about certain genetic disorders.
Such as Tay-Sachs for example. It is standard practice for us to genetic testing to find out if we are carriers of anything so we do not marry other carriers my mistake.
In the religious community there is an organization that will come to the High School and do take blood sample for free. You are then assigned an number. When you are dating someone all need to is call with your number and their number and ask if the two are compatible and they will say yes or no.
That do not tell you if you are a carrier or if the other person because the idea is keep any stigma and gossip removed from the process.
This organization is widely used because of this and is again a non-profit.
There is a huge difference between a fetus that is detected to have down syndrome and one that has Tay-Sachs.
People with down syndrome live rich fulfilling full lives. They live into old age. To advocate aborting a fetus with Down Syndrome because it it has Down Syndrome is eugenics plain and simple.
Understanding and knowing how important it is that abortions be available for those who are expecting a fetus with Tay-Sachs and other such genetic disorder is a whole different story.
This about preventing a parents having to watch their child live a very short life, a short life filled only with pain and constant hospitalizations, and then have to bury that child very early in life and grieve that child for the rest of their lives.
That is something that is preventable.
If you can prevent pain you do so when possible.
And let us understand the vast differences between types of genetic disorders and the impacts they have.
(For clarification purposes Tay-Sachs is a genetic disease, but I do well history I was not super comfortable writing a sentence saying "Jews carry diseases" and since Tay-Sachs isn't they only one, but I also felt obligated to make sure I have correct info as well)
"If we stop abortions of unhealthy fetuses then infant mortality will increase" and if we treat child cancer patients then teen mortality will increase...

"We see a glimmer of emotional despair and blame lobbed at Cas which is… fascinating" out of curiosity and for clarification, what was the emotional despair lobbed at castiel? im reading the transcript and am not quite sure
Confession: This is conjecture on my part.
I feel like this scene in Ouroboros is ofc course directed at all of Dean's loved ones, as they were all working to convince Dean to stay alive.
But imho, here: Dean's squared up to Cas.
And Cas squares up to him,
while Sam's body instinctually takes on the body language of a peacemaker between them.
(Also// We as audience have the diner scene between Dean and Cas fresh on our minds: DEAN: "Okay. But if -- if you don't we still have Plan B. ... Coffin. Ocean. Done.")
Sam's not exactly "getting it," but I think his subconscious must understand something of it, maybe...
///
I think the emotional despair that seems be more directed at Cas isn’t blame in the traditional sense but rather a reflection of Dean’s internal conflict.
I think Cas represents something Dean deeply struggles with—his own desires.
Cas, along with Jack, symbolizes hope and the possibility of a particular kind of future happiness, which Dean has been convinced that he’s not "allowed" to want. He has to be covert about it, to take a meager, starved kind of approach to his own happiness. (Note: Dean is allowed to enter family units and support others, but he's rarely allowed to "need" something/someone for himself in earnest.)
There's 14x10's almost-happiness: "DEAN: This bar -- This bar -- This bar -- I've never had anything this nice. Rocky's still isn't for sale."
And 2x20's DJINN CARMEN as she walks up to him, taking his face in her hands, kissing him* CARMEN: We can have a future together. Have our own family. I love you, Dean. Please."
And of course 8x17's DEAN: "I know you're in there. *CASTIEL raises his angel blade, ready to strike.* I know you can hear me. Cas... *DEAN's voice breaks, pleading.* It's me. *CASTIEL stands there, blade at the ready, light glints off the blade.* We're family. We need you. I need you."
And what's even more sickening? AU Michael's words later work to inflame this: "If only Dean had used that coffin when he had the chance."
(Aside/// And likewise, The Empty's deal works to convince Cas of the same thing, that he's not "allowed" to feel personal happiness or express love without dire consequences!)
/// Anyway, I think Dean’s decision not to say goodbye to Cas and Jack in 14x12 does stand in stark contrast to his other behaviors: hugging Sam, eating last meals with Mary and Donna, etc. I think this difference highlights how unique and emotionally complicated his relationships with Cas and Jack are. Dean’s reasoning—“I don’t need to get shaky on this thing”—reveals his fear of losing resolve if he faces them directly. (It's even unlike Lisa, whose goodbye was bittersweet but clean.)
In a nutshell, saying goodbye to Cas and Jack would force Dean to confront the depth of his attachments, making it harder to follow through with his sacrifice. (Or, per the script, it would make Dean himself "too emotional.")
SAM: You know, Mom hates this. I hate this... And Cas and Jack, you haven’t even told them. DEAN: Okay, well, yeah, that’s because I’m not good with the whole big goodbyes, alright? I-I-I don’t need to get shaky on this thing. SAM: Wouldn't be the worst thing.
Overall, Dean fears his resolve will weaken, that his emotions will spill out uncontrollably, revealing more than he intends, or that his goodbye would overburden Cas and cause him strife—because, much like Cas with his Empty deal, Dean doesn’t want to burden him.
Both Dean and Cas share a deeply ingrained sense of self-denial, prioritizing protecting others over addressing their own emotional needs.
I feel like The Gorgon’s line in Ouroboros, “Oh… you definitely want things,” brings this to the surface, as does AU Michael’s taunts. All season long, Michael asked his victims: "What do you want?"
Notably, Dream!Pamela says to Dean: "Why do you always want what you can't have?" And finally, AU Micheal's: “If only Dean had used that coffin when he had the chance.”
:(
////
Cas makes Dean want to stay, a feeling that unsettles him precisely because of how powerful it is. Perhaps, it stirs up frustration because it's something he can't seem to control, even after all this time.
This is a frustration that Dean largely directs at himself, but I think it occasionally spills over into his interactions with Cas because of the vulnerability Cas represents. (Note: All this isn't even factoring in Cas's well-meaning attempts to shield Dean, which winds up making Dean feel shut out.)
///
And of course... all hail 2x20.
John instilled hero virtues in Dean by teaching him that sacrifice and duty were part of being a hero/family caretaker, even at the cost of his own happiness. This mindset is clear in Dean’s painful reflection, where he questions why he has to carry the burden of saving others while his own life and the lives of his loved ones are sacrificed:
DEAN (to John): "Course I know what you'd say. Your happiness for all those people's lives, no contest. Right?" But why? Why is it my job to save these people? Why do I have to be some kind of hero? (begins to cry while talking) What about us, huh? What, Mom's not supposed to live her life, Sammy's not supposed to get married? Why do we have to sacrifice everything, Dad? (pause) It's... (Dean's lips tremble. Silence. We hear the sky rumbling. Tears begins to falls on DEAN's cheek.)
#dean vs happiness#spn 2x20#i put on you what i couldn't take#cas is dean's happiness#therefore it's a little bit his fault for making dean want to stay#dean feels like he's already dead inside because the mere act of WANTING has been like THIS at every turn#his anger is justified

"I don't like looking at a guide to understand tone tags!" Fam the youth of today make up new slang every five minutes nowadays. I'm getting whiplash trying to understand* Skibidi Ohio rizzler gyatt whatthefuckever, but I'm not trying to stop the rest of the world from using it
*I appreciate you taking the time to try and explain it, but I've done some research and... it's not sticking. I don't understand, and I'm okay with not understanding
#let people use tone tags for goodness sake#they've helped me so much over the years#they don't have less value because they don't help everyone#we don't stop people from using sign language just because some people don't understand it#you can learn how to use it yourself#it's up to you to decide whether you want to#but don't make other people feel silly for using something that works#besides#doing this (emotional insinuation) is never used in earnest anyhow#everytime i see (affectionately) (maliciously) etc being used#it's used in some form of joking manner#tone tags are an attempt to be sincere#because i and others need that clarification#because i'm fucking paranoid and think people are repulsed by me 24/7#ugh#i didn't mean for this to be a rant#tone tags aren't hurting anyone

feel like my headcanons for gender-nonconformity amongst Tres Horny Boys often fall just a little to the left of usual fanon — by which I mean, I see Taako as androgynous more so than feminine, and see Magnus as the one who's feminine, but in ways that he mix-and-matches with masculine elements too. and of course, the distinction between any of these things is a social construct, and is probably best thought of as revolving around individual intent — but that's how I like to conceptualize them conceptualizing it, you know?
this is probably better explained by example. to me, the typical Taako outfit is going to be something like those long flowy pants that are indistinguishable from a skirt at a distance, but with occasional real skirts in the rotation too (just to keep them guessing). while the average Magnus outfit involves multiple earrings (the dangliest ones that wouldn't be a hazard in a fight), pink nail polish, and a pair of cargo shorts. pure chaos that only he could make work. then in the meantime, Merle has never in his life even seriously contemplated gender presentation at all — if he puts flowers in his beard, that's 'cause it brings him closer to Pan and he happens to think these colors look nice! no reflection given and no reflection needed on any cultural concepts of masculinity, and whether or not he aligns with them.
#and btw when i say “androgynous” for taako i obviously don't mean “white skinny person”#not sure what the point of putting this in the tags is because people who follow me probably already know i don't mean that#and people who see this post somewhere other than my blog would be more likely to need the clarification#but whatever! this is just a silly post. an excuse to talk about magnus nail polish & cargo shorts#taz#taz balance#thb#anyways i think merle is too aro (whether he realizes it or not) to have a huge stake in gender#much like i'm starting to realize about myself lmao

Weighing in with a LONG reblog, because I feel very strongly about this and ask in good faith for folks to at least read to the very end before leaping to fire off any angry replies/blocking, etc.
I’ll start off by sharing this anonymous message (8 screenshots) that I sent to thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai a few months back, in response to a poll they had made inquiring as to why their followers continued to follow them.
As you can see, I used the term ‘off-putting’ to describe the tone of some of their posts, but I could have probably used less watered-down language. @arom-antix : I liked how you framed this particular sentence in your post, and want to focus on the latter part of it: “But when you claim to be an academic and also put down the rest of the fandom for not being on your level..."
It's that latter point -- putting down the rest of the fandom for not being on your level -- that I should have articulated better in my anon message, especially because @thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai : you have made MULTIPLE posts over the last year sharing frustrations that engagement on your meta posts/your content in general (like chapter reblogs for your novelization fanfic) has been lower than you’d like.
I would argue that your condescending tone and outward show of superiority could be a big reason for your drops in engagement. The latter is particularly irritating, because in your pinned post, you urge others to be kind, asserting that you have less confidence than Yuuri.
Speaking personally, I used to really look forward to reading your novelization fanfic -- anyone who looks at the comments section will see multiple examples where I've praised your writing and artistry. But your behavior on Tumblr is what led to my dropping your fic.
Before I go further, I’ll address what I think is the elephant in the room, at least from my own vantage point: I think we have ALL seen the advisory messages on Tumblr that say something to the effect of: "let's allow people to treat their blogs like a personal diary (i.e. as a place to vent with quick takes that are not perfectly worded/thought out) if they want to, and not act like everything has to be an expertly crafted, articulate encapsulation of their thoughts."
Now, I am fully on-board with extending that grace to people: how you use your own blog is your own business, and if you want to go on short or long rants about your opinions on fandom -- or anything else -- that's your prerogative.
However, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too, to use a cliche. thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai, if you are TRULY interested in understanding why your followers may not interact with your content in the ways you want — as opposed to crafting posts that paint yourself as a victim of ostracization, when you, yourself, have displayed very unwelcoming, divisive behavior — then you may need to consider this fact: your followers read everything.
Not just your most carefully crafted posts, but ALSO your personal rants. It might not seem fair for the latter to affect one's engagement levels with regards to the former, but this is just the reality of how things are on the internet/on this particular hellsite.
Getting back to my anon message, thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai replied to me shortly after, with an ask for clarification -- essentially, they said they were disturbed if this was how they were coming across and asked for more detail on why I had developed the impression that in order to engage with their content, that my engagement needed to meet the level of canon-compliance.
If I'd had the energy to craft a response (I won't go into the reasons for why I never ended up doing so, as it's a bit too personal), here's what I would have said:
1) Even if the fandom posts you think are most egregiously based on vibes/speculation claim to be canon-compliant, your bitterness towards their popularity comes across like entitlement. Especially, as 1) as I shared in my anon message, there may not be agreement on what canon compliance means, and 2) because a like or reblog on Tumblr doesn't even necessarily equate to: "I agree with EVERYTHING OP has laid out here, 100%".
In fact, I rarely think a like/reblog means that.
Sometimes, a like or reblog just means that someone finds an idea interesting and/or worth considering for their own content creation and/or just fun to ideate around.
2) of COURSE you are allowed to feel frustrated if your posts that you spend hours and hours working on don't do as well as you hope they will, and of course you are even allowed to post about those feelings, but if you go beyond "hey, this feels really shitty and I wish my numbers looked different" to "why is it that so many garbage takes that are devoid of any substance do so much better than my own?"...well, people will not be so gracious around the latter.
3) further, the same people who respect your work may start to feel like they can’t engage with you because, who knows? Maybe something they’ve contributed to fandom is the kind of content you seem to have such an issue with. I know I have definitely wondered about this, especially as I am currently working on a multi chapter fic that takes place during canon.
The very last thing I'll say is that I have been wanting to address the topic of acephobia allegations but have simply not had the energy to cobble together my thoughts exhaustively (yet).
All I'll say -- for now -- is that I myself am demisexual and can see a strong case to be made for why Yuuri is asexual (I write him as demi in my own fanfic and have even reblogged thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai's meta posts on the topic), however, I don't believe that this opinion makes it acceptable for me to label anyone as acephobic if they don't share it. Or, for me to claim that someone lacks media literacy if they don't share it.
I will save my full thoughts on this topic for a separate post (maybe? we'll see...it would take a long, long time to write, I think), but the one thing I'll say here is that I have seen the claim that people's headcanons around Yuuri's sexuality will inform the content that they want to read about. While of course I agree that this is true, I have seen this extend out to the following concern that I don't know holds water: that unless we all ascribe to the "Yuuri is ace" view, that content that touches upon it will get overlooked/be undervalued.
Frankly, I think this idea ascribes a rigidity to fanfic readers that simply isn't there.
I think we are all capable of reading and enjoying content that doesn't fit our own headcanons, even if these headcanons are "big" topics (and I do think Yuuri's sexuality is a big topic, simply because of how prominent a theme eros/the topic of sexual desirability is in canon. As a little teaser for the crux of my argument for why Yuuri could be both allo and ace, I'd posit that how sexually desirable someone finds themself (i.e. how capable they believe they are of seduction) is related to, but is ultimately distinct from their own capacity to experience sexual attraction).
Lastly, I want to make it clear that I think there is a place in the Yuri!!! on Ice fandom for EVERYONE, even people whose behavior I don't particularly love; the glimpse we get of each others' online personas is just a fraction of what comprises our personalities and interests, and I don't believe in the idea of shaming people to the point of "cancellation" (i.e. to the point where they think there is no future for them to keep contributing/sharing their love of fandom...especially in a fandom like Yuri!!! on Ice that has probably lost lots of people after IceAdo's cancellation!). This is particularly true if they are willing to be introspective around how they have acted.
Oh and lastly (for real this time), thank you both @arom-antix and @blonndiec for speaking so openly about this. I appreciate the courage it likely took to do so.
Hey, just wanted to reach out to say that I found you pointing out and calling this person was really great and you shouldn't have apologized. It was incredibly true what you said, and to be honest it seems out of touch with the reality of a great deal of the japanese fandom, the nuances and their culture. Also, it was as you pointed out, extreme and may I say rude. I want to mention too that the way it was written, as if entitled of the knowledge and the 'explanation' made it all worse in context of the 'fucked up'. The original poster always gets away by using the 'well-written academic'' statement of their 'metas' as an excuse to do or say and make everyone else agree and if not, uses victim narrative and discourses exactly selecting wording for people to agree on it or feel bad.
I don't know if they tagging you in the way they did made you reblog and apologizing/backing up, but no one thought bad about you pointing it out. On the contrary, a lot of people had been bullied and discriminated by this person when they called them out/disagreed going onto lenghts of sending their friends to harass people, and the other persons can't even defend themselves because they are effectively blocked. To quite a few people in the fandom has been done, even accusing them as 'acephobes' (when they're not) or even Nazis by spreading lies. So yeah, I just wanted to say that. I think you were right to call them out publicly.
Thank you very much for this ask. To be completely honest I agree with everything you said here and don't actually feel bad about pointing anything out. I mainly apologised because I didn't want any potentially poor phrasing from my side to cause unnecessary hostility and because I myself have gripes with this person's behaviour but didn't want to cause a scene.
My honest opinion is that they have a serious issue with taking accountability for their own mistakes and highly overestimate their own intellect. If you're reading this, @thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai, sorry if I seem harsh, but it's true. I saw your post lamenting how you're the only academic meta writer / fan in the fandom and I didn't interact then because I honestly do not care enough to start that drama but with the information Blonndiec has just given me, I think it's necessary that someone calls you out.
You're not an academic. You're not beyond the mental capabilities of other fans. You're actually incredibly childish in your metas and analyses and I am not kidding when I say that I was halfheartedly writing essays more academic than every analysis I've seen from you when I was barely a teenager. I don't know how old you are and I frankly don't care. You're not as clever as you think you are.
Also, don't think I didn't notice that you didn't reblog my correction (link here to my correction and here to their "response" for those who didn't see that exchange) of your post so that you could control what your followers saw of the exchange. You're the opposite of an academic. You control information to tailor the narrative, you don't cite your sources properly if at all, you don't format your posts in anything close to how an academic analysis would be, you make unbased claims, you reference posts and canon material without in any way indicating where that information is from, you reference your own (equally unacademic) metas and your conclusions from them without indicating what post it's from or that it's your own theory this new one is based on and instead present it as a common fact, and I could go on and on and on. Your posts are also riddled with logical fallacies and you talk in absolutes and opinions when there's no canon basis to claim such things. I'm sorry, but that's not academic in the slightest.
To be clear, you don't have to be an academic to post on the Internet. You don't have to be anything at all. You could up front be a genuine idiot with no remorse and that's fine. But when you claim to be an academic and also put down the rest of the fandom for not being on your level, you have to be able to back that up. It'd still make you sound like a prick but at least your arrogance would have a basis. It currently does not.
I haven't personally seen the discussions that Blonndiec is referencing and I'm not going to claim anything definitive (because that would be unacademic of me, take notes) but if what they're saying is true and did happen as described, which I have empirical, if anecdotal, evidence to believe could very well be (a friend of mine has personally been blocked by you after they criticised you without actually mentioning your name which I of course can't prove is the reason for the block but the timing is awfully convenient), you should know that you should be ashamed of yourself.
If there's context missing, feel free to enlighten me and call out any incorrect accusations. You have every right to defend yourself. However, I encourage you to cite your sources since you're such an academic. If you don't, then it's just your word against Blonndiec and anyone else who might comment's word and that doesn't prove anything. Don't misunderstand, acephobia and nazi rhetoric should absolutely be called out but only if it's actually happening. False accusations can ruin lives. I hope you know that.
I'm not a fan of calling people out publicly and, again, thank you for this ask, Blonndiec. But considering many of the issues I've personally seen and those I've been informed of by second hand sources were posted publically, I don't really feel bad about calling this out. I could do a full breakdown of just the insulting "academic" comments alone and how there's no academia to be found in said academic metas and, Samurai, if you give me reason to, I will show exactly what I mean point by point (and academically just to give you an example of even low level academia).
If you respond to this, do it in a reblog. That's what a real academic would do. If I'm wrong and you can prove it, you'd have no reason to not show my post in your rebuttal. If I'm right, you'd have every reason to be upfront about your mistakes and how you intend to rectify them. There's nothing wrong with being wrong but there's a lot wrong with refusing to admit to it in a way that lets others peer review you (academic thing, look it up) and come to their own conclusions about the situation. That's what you did when you just @'ed me instead of reblogging my response. A true academic wouldn't hide a peer review. You'd know that if you were one.
I swing in many academic spaces and yet that doesn't make me any kind of expert and I don't claim to be one because I'm not. But since you want to be one so badly, reblog this with a response and show us all how smart you are. I'm dying to know what your academic take on this is.
#yuri!!! on ice#yuri on ice#yuri on ice fandom#yuri on ice headcanons#to reiterate: I don’t want anyone to be cancelled#but some introspection sure would be nice#especially when this is coming from multiple people

Every so often I see... interesting takes about Zemo that leave me questioning if we... all saw the same stuff.
Like, you know he commanded a death squad before his fam even died, right? This man is not a good dude. Sure, maybe it was in the name of his country but also... his country was a shit show and he said as much.
So I am absolutely perplexed by the number of "he wouldn't do x" and "why does everyone make him so toxic" kinds of things. He actively waterboarded Vasily Karpov like one of the first times we saw him. He was put in the RAFT because he is a fucking terrorist.
This feels like another one of those things I guess that reminds me of Hannibal. Him being polite doesn't make him any less of a cannibal. You can be both polite and a bad person.
#Zemo#lil rant am sorry#is this what woobification is?#Is this why I am reacting so strongly about this?#My poor group chat every time I come across this because I react viscerally#To each their own on headcanons I guess#Live and let live#But I am PERPLEXED.#Anyway I'm going to continue to enjoy Zemo being a piece of shit trash man who might occassionally show a soft spot if it benefits him#rant#In case clarification is needed this is very much about people who seem to make him really sweet/kind#And then talk about how other people are weirdos or freaks for acknowledging canon and liking him anyway??

Hmmm I wonder why I cling to the fact that I’m smart and crave academic validation so much and immediately feel really good anytime someone reminds me that I am smart
*sibling had 4.8 gpa. sibling called me dumb a million times. sibling says I have no common sense every single time they’re yelling at me. sibling makes fun of me for not being smart any chance they get*
Oh
#something that I’ve been learning is an insecurity for me recently#I could meet every definition of smart in the dictionary and they’ll still make fun of me#doesn’t help that it’s usually because of something to do with my autism#either not hearing them or not understanding something and needing clarification or misunderstanding something#or a million other little shit#tbf. this person would yell at me over anything they could get a chance to#like I have an insecurity over chewing too loud because of them#although tbf they have sensory issues but also. there are other ways of dealing with that than screaming at me#vent#vent post#kinda vent#vent ish

(pick the one that applies most to you & elaborate in the tags/comments if you want)
#if clarification is needed just ask. there's a severe character limit on polls for some reason#Danny Phantom#gore#blood#injury#tagging so people can block it if they're a 0. i'm an 8. sometimes a 9 but mostly an 8 so im voting that one#i can stomach a lot. there's just some subjects that make oouuuggh#idk why. i cringe at Saw but mostly because of the acting. a little bit because i have trouble not sympathizing with stuff like that#also the one thing that bothers me is the thought of a bone breaking & rubbing against each other & the skin & stuff#like i've broken a bone & it wasn't that bad (looking. the break was bad) i just find that gross. bones shouldnt do that#cutting through a bone? fine. amputation is less gross & more ''i dont want that to happen to me''#eye stuff too. like getting stabbed. im less ick about taking eyes out for some reason but still#just touching them is like whatever i do that all the time to get stuff out but stabbing is a oouughh for me. i can watch it it's just eoug#to sum it up i guess i'm fine with a lot of gore there's just some stuff i'm grimacing at while reading/watching#i sort of ''faint'' sometimes at blood draws but that's because i'm super low energy & shit#i think if i saw severe gore irl i'd be a bit fucked up but idk unless it happens#i've seen some gross stuff. i've seen dead animals & i'm mostly like ''cool free bones''*#*as long as it's legal. if i'm unsure i leave them there. i dont fuck with wildlife laws

what the fuck is this
#at first i genuinely thought it was a language learning app because why else would you compare it to duolingo#so i was like why the fuck does there need to be a language learning app specifically for lgbt+ people#maybe they did that on purpose so you would view the next part for clarification#so in that sense i guess its effective#but in every other way this is one of the worst advertisements ive seen

Wait is the main foxfire building not the glass pyramid /gen. Oh wait do you think it’s in the tower thingies? Because if so I’m listening 👁️👁️
Oh, i don't know? I call the six towers the main building and the glass pyramid is just, the glass pyramid to me. I've always imagined the glass pyramid, the six levels of foxfire, and the silver and gold towers separate, with the buildings/towers of the six levels the main building, but i could be completely wrong here.
Actually the more i think about it, you may be right with the glass pyramid being the main building!
Picture reference of what I've always considered the main building because I'm terrible at describing things.
I imagine the healing center somewhere in between the 3th and 4th towers!
I could be completely wrong and the main building is considered the glass pyramid though! I haven't reread the first couple books in a while, so wouldn't be surprised.
If someone knows what the books call the main building at foxfire please tell us. 🙏
#Tbh i get the layout of stuff wrong all the time.#So i wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong about this too. Don't even ask about how i imagine havenfield. Its WAY different than what the book#Kotlc#But thats also why i love books! Because you get to see/compare how others imagine the different locations! Its fun#thanks for the ask!#Kailey rambles#Did this get needlessly confusing? My brain hurts i think I'm confusing myself lol#If you need clarification let me know!

I've been reading anons as pointing out the "and alsos" of Daniel, so basically taking his excellent driving skills for granted! Like nothing should need to be clarified there--but anon is probably right that we should say it more cause some people (not on this blog) have short memories...
yes exactly!!! the perfect articulation of what i was trying to say!!
#i don't know that we necessarily need to say it more just because like...anything happening on this blog is for the daniel girlies only#other people are NOT reading this shit lmao (affectionately)#i just mean in the sense of like....yeah maybe the clarification is necessary sometimes just to make sure we're all on the same page#but in general i think we all kind of Get It and shouldn't need to cater to those that don't when they're not the target audience!!#if anyone needs something clarified obviously more than happy to do that you just have to ask#red bull redux#answered#anonymous

A day after posting this poll and I have already learnt several valuable things:
Making a poll while running off the manic energy of existential dread from the growing certainty I will not like the answer I receive is not a good idea. This makes the choices more confusing and the question vague
(+1) This also makes one more susceptible to personal bias. Ex: I have never considered pots and pans dishwasher acceptable and thus the thought to consider the option never occurred. I also forget dishwashers exist most of the time despite having one bc my personal default for dishes is hand washing while my family's is a mix. Flip side, I also learned different pots and pans can have different cleaning methods
I shouldn't try to be funny with the voting options - not everyone gets my humor
I probably should have explained the details of the options below the poll, but again, manic energy. Impulse control why did you leave me
(+1) For the sake of not screwing with everyone's previous votes, I shouldn't clarify what I meant by the choices or question. Not even when I REALLY REALLY want to
TL;DR: I need to think before making a poll because otherwise you get a chaotic mess like this one
Tumblr I'm curious and need you to help me out. Please reblog so I can get a larger sample size.
#im debating whether to make a second poll after this one is complete with better options and more clarification#on one hand: surely people will have already satisfied their curiosity by then and be sick of this question#on the other hand: MY curiosity and the bit of me that is a stickler for clear data demands a second survey#regardless i will probably be putting my final conclusions and everything i learned from this poll in a reblog after it's complete#so that i have everything about this poll in one place#a lot of these tags are wild and i find them hilarious#i'm having a blast reading#i'm also noting down the details that i might want to consider for the options for a second poll#even if i never actually make it#because i need the draft of what i should have done for my own sake or it will bother me forever#this is turning out to be good learning experience#thanks everyone for voting reblogging and commenting
