[ 1:41pm Robin -> Miss Evelynn ]: like could you solve this o' milennia year old demon
[ 1:42pm Robin -> Miss Evelynn ]: (sin(x) + cos(x))(sin(x) - cos(x)) = (√x - cos(x)√2)(√x + cos(x)√2)

Daddy, don't go.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#jiang fengmian#Scenes that are tragic but still made me laugh: JFM wrapping the boys *right back up* after finding out it was YZY who tied them up.#I know he did it because he understands the severity of what's going on in lotus pier & the need to protect his children.#But it also comes off as 'Oh your mother said so? Yeah I'm not overruling her. Listen to your mother kids. I gotta go.'#You guys ever think about how the last time Jiang Cheng saw his parents alive it was them both pushing him away one last time?#I do!!! I sure do!!! Now you can too! Welcome to my sad little club. The refreshments are all saltwater.#And the subtle difference in who the parting is intended for. YZY meant to leave WWX with JC as a protector. JFM wants them both safe.#The reveal that Zidian responds to JFM aches so badly.#The fact the weapon she literally lashes out with also reveals her heart is so poetic.#I sure hope they can reconcile their feelings. I hope it all works out.#This is the last of the math boat jokes. Back to labeling the boats properly after this.

•_• Thinking about him again
#decadentart#bloodborne#retired hunter djura#eileen is also there but im not putting this in her tag. u can see her jn the last frame#Got bored during math class as always#rare instance i do traditional art#aw. straight people#in my heart she visits him sometimes because hes a genuinely nice guy#maybe she feels bad for him. And hes in denial of his own self admonishment#maybe shes tried to convince him to leave but he thinks its his fate to so painfully sacrifice himself to protect others#in a sense hes punishing himself#Whatever. I like making things the fuck up#also yeah i really like drawing him with his lower face obscured by his aem. cant explain it

Rummaging around my house and i got jumpscared
#snap chats#HAPPY PRIDE MONTH I GUESS VJLKEJVLEKAVEAJ#no this is actually so funny theres a funny backstory to this dvd#after i watched first class the first time like. almost exactly a year ago now wow just give it like two or so more months#my brother was telling me a story about how he won a copy of the movie from his comic book club-#-same club held by my old high school comic class teacher mind you lol-#and they were having a little contest where you were supposed to draw what its like going to school at the x mansion#and they were doing this while watching the movie. naturally cause my siblings and i are So Great And Epic he won#and got the dvd as a surprise. it has never been opened JVLEVJELAKVJE#the comic he drew i actually remember seeing it was pretty cool- he made like. five cubes and drew the panels on those and stacked them#i dont remember the specifics of the comic but i remember deadpool was there... my bro loved deadpool in high school#but yeah anyway my brother told me this and i was like 'well ive rummaged around this house a million times ive never seen it'#so eventually my brother just conceded maybe he misremembered and got the man of steel-#-a dvd we. ALSO have for some reason- but lo and behold..... while i was rummaging around for one of my copies of twilight princess...#LIKE I HAD LOOKED IN THAT CABINET SO MANY TIMES ig cause i didnt care about xmen until last year i just ignored it#god when was my brother in high school. and i do math. this mustve been at least.... 14? years ago?? Long While Ago. insane...#life's so funny. anyway now this dvd goes on the comics shelf never to be opened#kinda funny my brother and i both won live-action dvds from contests: i won dragon ball evolution from getting 3rd in a fighterz tourney#not. the best prize vJELRKVJEAKJ but hey its really funny to look at on my shelf so. i still win.#anyways thats enough reminiscing i just thought it was funny that after all this time ive had this thing in my house JVLKEJEKLAJ#coulda watched it anytime and the trajectory of my life coulda shifted way sooner JEGLKEKJ imagine... wild..#i havent even watched first class since i think september/october.. could be funny to rewatch...#maybe if i can haggle an irl friend to watch it with me sure <- neither of them will watch it with me#ok ima go finish up some comics i started finishing up yesterday ill see yall in a few hours byyyyeee !!!!

ford: would you be interested in a dd&md campaign where nothing bad happens whatsoever
stan: what’s the fun in that?
ford: the escape from our chronic depression
stan: …can i raid a dragon’s hoard or somethin
ford: you can. you can even mock the dragon so hard it dies
stan: holy shit yeah i’m in
#one aspect of gravity falls ae’m iffy about: the way d&d is treated. rant incoming#it’s all math and rules and graphs and like ae get the whole point is that they shouldn’t mock dipper just for loving something they don’t#Mbut also like???#yeah no shit they’re not interested. you didn’t show them ANY of the aspects they might actually be into#where’s the crafting? the creating of characters? the worldbuilding? the harassing innocent npcs?#idk maybe ae’m inexperienced but ae have never seen a d&d campaign that uses fuckin graphs#because that’s NOT THE APPEAL ALEX.#the appeal is the escapism. it’s the being able to dive into a fantastical world#it’s the getting to defeat enemies. it’s the being the underdog. it’s the earning a victory. it is the friends we made along the way#and like?? fuck man. ae get the part of the fandom that’s like ‘i don’t get why people write fics making stan and mabel play dd&md’#‘they made it clear they don’t like it’#but damn it have you ever seen a fic like that that’s about the graphs and math and giant rule book?#hell most fics we’ve seen like that use homebrewed campaigns. as in ‘FUCK THE RULE BOOK WE DO THIS OUR WAY’#ae just. ae’m starting to understand why people don’t like that episode#what was the point? to not mock dipper anymore? we’ve had like three episodes about that already#they missed an opportunity to make an episode focused in bonding#an episode that could have explored ford and stan’s strained relationship more#because stan and mabel would have loved the creative aspects of d&d so much#mabel loves crafts! she would have had so much putting together little figurines or a set!#and stan- can you imagine how much fun he would have had with the npcs?#and with the creation of characters! he fuckin loves storytelling!!#ae’m. ae’m sad now. they had an opportunity to bring everyone together through a game that has something for each of them to love#and instead we got ‘we should stop bullying dipper for the third time’ and ‘you can tell they don’t like each other-#-because stan still won’t say ford’s name’#can you imagine if instead of ‘stan throws a hissy fit and nearly gets ford and dipper killed’ we got ‘ford and stan get REALLY into the ga#and their characters and situations start to get kind of personal’?#like! imagine if they had all gotten stuck in the game and the stans had to work together to save everyone#but they still have unresolved issues that they start to work through at the end and thus the episode ends with a hopeful note#like. they share a moment like in the finale when ford and stan smile at each other after the bus leaves#don’t tell us they got a ‘starting to communicate and resolve issues’ moment in the finale because that shit was rushed as hell

one of my friends is a biologist & i was really amused hearing some of her stories yesterday because they put into context just how believable newt's kaiju drift is as Shit A Biologist Would Do. like my friend has personally met both a guy who got infected with a botfly larva and didn't do anything to remove it (because he just didn't mind), and another guy who identified a tapeworm species by intentionally exposing himself to it (he had it narrowed down to 2 species and needed to know if it was the one that would infect humans) (it was)
#newton geiszler#unscientific aside#drifting with a kaiju is on a whole different level of dangerous. but still.#he's an expert on them. he knew (thought he knew) what he was doing#can also confirm from personal experience that hermann is extremely accurate as a mathematician#like theres a whole range of personalities in mathematics so that part is just 'hes believable as an eccentric academic'#but mathematicians have A Thing about chalkboards#90% of the math profs i had used chalkboards and the 10% who didnt have chalkboards used powerpoint slides#cant remember seeing anyone use dry erase boards except one poor TA who had to fill in one time and was STRUGGLING#well and profs from my non-math classes#also if you ask math people why they like math i think roughly half of them will say something about the beauty of the universe#also his exhausted sigh when pentecost says 'i need more than a prediction' lmao. buddy i have BEEN there#oh and the fact that they have him doing some computer modeling & that he wrote code for the jaegers#extremely overlapping disciplines. i had mandatory computer science courses alongside algebra and stats and all that#& you need to be able to write at least a little code to do the predictive model stuff hes doing#anyway yeah i love them. best eccentric scientists#ask to tag#parasites

Alright everyone I've made the decision im going to major in environmental sciences and I don't feel like im dead anymore so I think this is it
#Im not applying until next year because i still need to Save Up but thats the PLAN#Possible I wont get accepted and if I dont Ill either major in something like biology I can#use to transfer into the Environmental School at the community college or ill#simply fall back on computers#Also saying environmental sviences but might switch ti something else if i can#find something guarenteed to get me some kind of job not in a kitchen that#doesnt require alot of math because I lliterally cant do math.#If I have to ill GIVE IT A SHOT though#But yeah everyones UPDATE. WE'LL SEE!

I just love how you can tell that Hille is super excited and happy to be in Japan. Like he doesn't write texts or anything but just the amount of stuff he puts in his story very much tells zu everything you need to know
#ski jumping#like I can imagine him so well being excited for the dragon statue#it makes me very much happy to at least be able to guess that he's happy#i don't remember him posting much during the last off season#so this is really a blessing#i just like knowing that they are doing well#like Stephan and Markus as well#they looked so happy on the last pictures they posted#:)#can you tell from my yapping that I'm also very happy#Yesterday was my last school day#so now only the exams are left#and considering that I'll take english art and german as written exams (so that I have like two months to study for maths) I'll#have a pretty chill time as it stands now#(I might post some stuff from the Mottowoche)#not sure if I'm happy with all the pictures#(though there are tiktoks by a classmate#i think the handle is mausdotcom#if you wanna see some stuff)#i'm in two of the videos#we didn't film any on the last two days#die Luft war raus#but yeah#this is very much just me yapping in the tags here

where's that post about how USamericans talk about gifted kid programs like it was a supersoldier program. it makes me laugh so hard
#y'all have made the so-called gifted kid experience feel so totally unrelatable#i always loved being the so called smartest in class#still do#no angst about it#like yeah i was bullied but it wasn't because i was smart. it was bc i was fat and had poor social skills and tbh#you don't need to be gifted to be bullied for those reasons#my experience was weird bc i always had the best grades etc but never actually made it into any of the programs#my score for the IQ test was actually too low#which is funny. maybe i'm just insane#my best friend in hs did make it into the program and he definitely did think he was smarter than me for that reason#but now he is in the navy and i am not so. speaks for itself#WAIT. supersoldier program omfg ...#also i say gifted experience in the same way that like. idk. being part of math club can be an experience#it's not a real inherent thing to you as a person#i just get annoyed at how ppl talk about it like it makes them part of an oppressed class like dude omfg. even as a kid#i knew i wasn't being bullied for being smart. in fact it was honestly the only part of me that made ppl think i had social value#which is fucked up. but it's not oppression for being smart

my parents have always thought that art was a waste of time and whenever i draw i have this app that switches to a screensaver whenever i tap a little icon on my screen so i can avoid Awkward lectures when they walk into my room 😭😭😭
i wish i could say something positive that now they don't mind as much or whatever but i know that if they knew about how much i do actually draw (especially instead of studying) id get an earful for LIFE 💀
#i specifically got a tablet for maths a level but i dropped it so now i mostly use it for art (and also studying in general of course!!!!)#but yeah idk ive always wanted to make some sort of money out of it so maybe they would hate it less#i understand why they hate it i really do!!!!! but yeah its just. Annoying to hide more than anything got me jumping at any creak in my doo#DOOR#never had the experience of showing a drawing to my parents and having it stuck to the fridge#like theyre not even a little curious as to why i can forge signatures so well 💀#bought my sketchbook in secret with cash feeling like some sort of ganjakhor 😭😭😭

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).
#storyrambles#it’s not creepy. just for context. it’s just irritating because I’ve told this person repeatedly that I’m not interested in romance.#this person is also naturally a huge romantic so it is next to impossible to tell whether it’s actual flirtation or just flirting for fun#flirting for fun is cool. I wouldn’t mind that. but if I do it once this person will take that as an invitation to do it an excessive amoun#but yeah after being given 12 roses out of the blue when I said ‘no don’t buy me flowers’. there’s only so many things that can mean#‘it’s nice to see your face you always cover it!’ …I’m masking. because of covid#I’m narrating a game and suddenly ‘I like hearing your voice I should call you every day so I can hear it for 10 minutes’. …no.#‘you have to take the snack I brought you know it’s rude to refuse a gift’ I have never refused a gift. It is rude. But also I didn’t ask.#‘you know this game is one you can play without talking so we can play more often!’ we already play games once a week for usually 3 hours.#‘but it’s not talking so it’s less social energy’ no. that is not how it works.#sorry for the rant im just. tired.#you know those people who are so pleasant to hang out with and then they try way too hard#and that’s actually what makes things awkward? rather than when they’re just being themselves?#yeah. that’s this friend here.#usually I go along with the bit but when I can never tell when the bit is actually a bit#and you insist on me taking on the ‘girl role’ for most of them#I am not going to play along.#UGH don’t get me started on the ‘you’re cute when you’re flustered’#I wasn’t even flustered. I was trying to do mental math while running on four hours of sleep and he was staring directly at me#it’s uncomfortable.#also. I never want to hear that again. fuck. ‘you’re cute when you’re angry’ ‘you’re cute when you’re upset’ ALL THE FUCKING TIME AS A KID#will I be so cute after I kick you in the nuts? will I?#(for clarity I don’t want to kick him. I want to kick those other people.)#I need a lot of alone time. I really do. I can do 3 hours and then I will be drained for the rest of the day.#‘how did you grow up? did you not talk to your mom for more than 3 hours a day?’#first of all. that’s different?#secondly we actually regularly do separate things without talking to each other. or go in separate rooms to take some time to ourselves#also I don’t have to be on high alert for if I’m going to be flirted with. so.#ugh. I like him as a friend. I really do. I know this all makes it seem like the opposite. I try so hard to be as nice as possible.#but UGHHHHHH

I’m not sorry about hating the “I’m just a girl” shit that tik tok has given us but I am sorry for ever putting up with it without saying anything
#dimaposting#“it’s like you’re just a girl” “i’m not a girl” “yeah but like you’re just a girl”#GET TF UP#girl dinner girl math for the girls CAN WE STOP#I also hate barbie feminism and bimbo feminism these things are not feminist they are inherently patriarchal#maybe I’m just too butch and too much of a hater but oh my god I want to grab these ppl and shake them and scream GET UP DO YOU HEAR YOURSE

#y’all I am. literally so unbearably unwell about new meat prison hari for some reason#couldn’t tell ya how but he’s really doing something for me#is it the prospect that he might change his thinking on emotions being insignificant? that in his century in the time out box he might have#figured out something of how he fucked up just a little? how he’s softening up to gaal a little and maybe starting to feel bad???#is it the idea that a man so absorbed in math can finally understand the balance he needs in his own life not only for his plan to be#successful but also to allow himself feelings for individuals that he’s been repressing the whole fucking time???#is it the prospect of this man being as tender as a chicken strip??? yeah you bet it is#hari seldon#foundation#I’m gonna go throw up I’m too emo about it#I love it when an idiot like that goes soft and it’s such a rare thing I really hope they let jared do it#and not yoink it away from me this time

ok actually thinking about it a bit more, i'm probably desensitized to this stuff. tried explaining it to a buddy the other day and they looked vaguely ill. which is unfortunate because wastewater treatment is actually super super cool and i wish i felt more comfy with talking about special interest stuff and that other people were ok with hearing about it more so that i could talk about it more. if anyone wants a big rant about how wastewater treatment works (or a smaller rant about how drinking water treatment works, i'm also interested in that but i don't feel like i know as much about it) please please please ask cuz i will gladly talk about it. please <3 🥺
#i am mostly joking but also no i'm not lol#like i love drinking water treatment too. but also water softening reactions are always explained in the most confusing way possible#so i feel like i don't know as much about it#with wastewater treatment you have microbiology nerds explaining it as well as chemistry nerds#so there's multiple perspectives happening and somewhere between the 2 i'm able to understand it#vs with water softening its just explained by chemistry nerds For chemistry nerds#and i'm a bit of a chem nerd but like a baby one. i need it explained slowly and simply and with room for me to ask dumb questions#and that never happens :(#honestly debating hunting down the chemistry tutoring people and asking if they understand water softening and can explain it So Slowly#cuz i've never had a professor explain it well#(lowkey i feel like my engineering professors who've also tried to teach this are Also not the biggest chemistry nerds)#(they explain it the same way as an elementary school teacher who hates math and just teaches it by memorization)#(and then if anyone doesn't understand the explanation they're fucked cuz the teacher doesnt understand it enough to explain it differently#but yeah i keep meaning to do that but i'm busy and tired so i forget. should probably do that before the semester ends tho lol

look. most people on tumblr, like most people everywhere, are just kind of innumerate, at least in slightly unexpected cases theyre asked to discuss on polls. they can't demonstrate an understanding of probability and they also don't understand compound interest. this is bad, but we can't fix it by explaining on the polls at length why they are wrong, because people on tumblr, in a specific manner but also still pretty much like people everywhere, think you are a fun-ruining evil stemlord who automatically loses the argument and should be put to death as the oppressor if you try to explain math to them
#i have noted those of you who are vexed by the interest one but acted like people were being dickhead killjoys about the probability one#and may i just say: yeah it's actually very frustrating isn't it. you can sort of see why i was pissy about it previously.#sorry you're now getting got. as we all will be got. in time.#it does also make sense to me that not everyone would respond to both because the probability one was only implicitly a math question#and had a great big ''who's ready to get cancelled for arguing that magic isn't real'' diversion attached#which. alters one's instincts. in various directions.#box opener#and conversely i actually found the interest thing mildly unintuitive until after i'd sat down with a calculator and contemplated what i#know about interest rates. so like. if you're not going to do that on a tumblr poll. and you don't think a lot about orders of magnitude#maybe you just say whatever sounds plausible and never think about it again#(until the hideous stemlords emerge forcing you to double down on the intrinsic moral rectitude of daily payments of course. but that#is not central to the point.)

crying because why the fuck did i pick a three year course of latin i can barely string a sentence together in english and it's literally my first and basically only language
#('basically only' bc i did french for most of my life and spoke it with my grandma and great grandma as best as i could)#(and then quit it to do latin)#it's a three year course right#and i could choose to quit after the first year when i had four shitty teachers#(one never turned up. one was just a sub and knew nothing about the language. one was a math teacher who did it in school.#the last and best was an english teacher who did it in school and uni.)#anyways i was like “oh surely it wont be so bad with a good teacher and i can catch up”#so i didnt quit#and now i have to do latin for another year once this one is over#im crying i actually hate this#i dont hate latin but like#i really struggle with learning languages#and everyone in my course (12 ppl incl me) are super crazy smart#so no one asks non-intellectual questions#and at this point my façade of intelligence has been there too long and i cant ask for help more than i normally cant#i also have no friends or even people willing to say more than two words to me so uhhh#yeah not fun. at all.#except the war and blood and murder#that's fun
