Mabill is both what some ppl use

BUT

So how do you think mark came to dislike blonzie so strongly? (Sorry if this has been asked before 😔)

Here's my idea for this, a short (but actually very very long) explanation of their dynamic.

I think that as kids, Blonzie was always a troublemaker on his own. Very shy and felt different from everyone around him, but that's what made him believe doing crazy shit would get him attention and love. Mark was the opposite of that. He was wanted to stay out of everyone's way, and did as he was told always. Blonzie was never a bully to anybody, but Mark being the younger sibling, he'd push him around a bit.

Mark was very gullible (as most kids are anyway!), and Blonzie would often use that against him. He'd play a little rough and tease him. But (and this is coming from someone with 2 brothers, and an older brother myself) it is all out of love. With certain sibling dynamics, it's hard to say "I love you" and especially with an age gap, they are very different people in general.

With Blonzie being shy on the inside too, even around family he kept a lot to himself. Both their parents were very loving, and loved both of them dearly. But Blonzie somehow thought they still loved Mark more. It was definitely not that they loved Mark more, but Blonzie was just a little jealous of him. Him being the youngest (therefore more "spoiled") and didn't get into as much trouble as he did. Which is on him, really. But when he didn't listen to his parents he'd often try not to do it around them because he loves his family, truly he does, and feels guilty as an adult nowadays.

Their parents, despite Blonzie being closed off, knew everything anyway. Because they are his parents. Unless he was going to get severely hurt, they let him do as he pleased. And they knew about all his interests and such. But he couldn't recognize that as a kid. They also realized the gap between his and Marks relationship form.

Even if Mark can't remember these moments, and even during Blonzie "teasing him", Blonzie was always a caring older brother. He remembers all of his preferences, and would protect him from anything that scared him. He'd shoo off rabbits from the yard, bugs, would sometimes tidy up after him when he was even smaller. And probably even ACTUAL bullies in school. Always always he loved his brother like that.

As Mark got older, Blonzie felt he could up his game in picking on him because he was more mature. He'd just like to get on Marks nerves and do as he pleased, like taking his things and spending as much time on things they take turns on. Call him names that were of course harmless but still. BASICALLY, he was not a bully. Just very very annoying and nuisance.

As they grew up, Blonzies jealousy kinda stayed. He saw Mark, who was also shy, bloom into confidence and get an actual friend group, go to college. Blonzie likes crowds around him and people cheering on his stunts, but none of those people that like him like that would he consider people he could hang out with regularly. Mark achieved things that Blonzie felt he couldn't.

Nothing feels worse than feeling JEALOUS of your YOUNGER BROTHER. Its a double edged sword. On one side, he's jealous and wishes he could almost be like him. On another, he's proud of his little bro. No matter what side has the most power, he wants to be in his life again.

Blonzie has a hard time saying "I love you" as much as he has a hard time with saying "sorry" and also has a bad memory. So he attempts to get back into Marks life. As I've said, in general, Mark and Blonzie are very different people. Blonzie does crazy stunts, stupid shit, some people love him some hate him. And Mark just doesn't want anything to do with it, even if he worries too.

But Blonzie trying to get back into his life felt out of nowhere. In Marks head it was like "Why are you pretending you weren't a jerk to me all those years?" Because he really does just try to "put it all behind them" and stuff. And yeah, a lot of his visits are just him being annoying on purpose. But he wants Mark to see that that is how he shows his love. He'll never straight up confess it, but he gets happy seeing his brother in magazines. He's happy he found someone to love. He loves his brother. And he can say that to Mark, but now, Mark is the one who finds it hard to say it back. It's almost as if Blonzie "boy who cried wolf'd" himself. It's hard to believe anything Blonzie says because of how much he'd make up and tell Mark. It's hard to take him seriously when everything was a joke to him back then.

And yes, with all of that, Mark loves Blonzie as much as Blonzie loves Mark. He doesn't approve of his stunting, but worries he doesn't have a "real" job. (He does, but Mark doesn't take the time to listen to him.) He worries that he struggles on a daily basis. All that's pushed aside when he remembers he's a grown man, and can always go to their parents if he's struggling that bad.

Their parents are aware of their strained relationship. They don't try to fix it, and they're not mad but a little bit sad if anything. They wish they could get along, but it seems they never really did. Once again they love both of them. Mark and Blonzie both talk to their parents on the phone a lot, and a lot of the time THAT is how they get updates on each other's lives. They will tell each other about what they saids been going on. Mark will usually roll his eyes, still listen, but just be a bit meh about it. Blonzies ears perk up and gets excited to hear about his brother. The one who's less willing to open up nowadays than he is.

This isn't an impossible fix, Mark just needs to be less uptight. Blonzie a little bit more serious. They both have reasons to be sorry to each other. And some days it is hard, because that brotherly love will always be strong in their hearts. It just has to finally grow again, and blossom into a healthier and more understanding relationship. Their biggest issue as they grew up was that they couldn't understand each other. And Marks problem is that he doesn't want to understand Blonzie. Blonzie knows a lot more about Mark than he thinks he does, because he's observant despite being a bit rough with memory.

Blonzie will always be the "annoying" older brother, but it has to take Mark to be a bit more loose and willing to joke around too.

And that's. Yup. Yup 👍😊

[the-gayest-tree-you-ever-did-see]

it’s always the sanjays and adityas that end up as traitors smh. sangamesh is like that weird guy who can’t take a hint to leave you alone lmao.

can.. we just appreciate ✨tall women✨ they get so much shit cause of patriarchal standards but a pretty girl and you have to look up to see her pretty face 🥰

ahh i wish i could find it for you, but i spent like ten minutes googling “the moon is polyamorous tumblr” and i think my FBI agent is getting bored of me.

no! i like hearing about names, i think the idea of them are so cool. like we made sounds that refer to a person, but then some people have the same sounds so we added more and called them last names and even then people have the same sounds??

okay fine, i may... leave you for abigail thorn or kristen stewart.. but could you blame me?? also holy fuck i just found out abigail thorn is 6 foot.... *throws a non-existent wedding ring off my floor, picks bags off the floor and kicks the door open* bye bitch

nooo not the broken heart, we’re allowed to leave each other for hotter people okay /j

(also yes i have and i absolutely hated it. srry if you liked it, but the toxic masculinity and misogyny made me not like it, also maybe cause i was kind of in a hard place when i watched it and it definitely didn’t help lmao. i heard there’s an f3 coming out 😬)

yay!! i’m so proud of you (drop the @ so i can see what you’re up to). i think it’s a great idea and i’m glad you’re not stressing over it. also maybe i’m biased because i like your nonsense- mostly cause i’m part of it.

my life’s pretty boring, but i’m going on vacation. i’ll probably send you random asks cause i’ll miss you too much if i don’t. <3

also sometimes it hits me randomly that your telugu. like that still hasn’t fucking registered in my brain lol. and you know how every desi person knows each other, what if we like met irl and neither of us knows. ngl that freaks me out a little cause i don’t want to be perceived irl but it’s kind of cool cause i’ve never met anyone like me before :)

(that was long and rambly but hopefully the words came out right)

dw about answering my asks! i just like hanging out with you (in my head we’re just vibing in a room).

anyways i love you *squeezes you tightly*

mwah! here’s a pretty flower🌷

- indi <3

sooo true, if i were evil i could use those names but unfortunately i only want to destroy capitalism 😔 no but one of the names on my list was Vijay Kai. i want you to take a minute to guess the main reason why i listed this name. think hard. take a deep breathe and think more.

youre wrong! jay and kai were my favorite characters in ninjago and i made it Vijay bc it was indian and also the nickname V would be super cool. i am dead serious.

no but actually tall women are like 🥰😍🥺😚 im lov. feel so small and safe with tall women, lets just appreciate tall women for a minute, ty (and by tal women i mean literally everyone, im five one so)

no i googled it too, i think theres a blog with that name bc i couldnt find anything else, lmao. fbi agent should be happy theyre getting some variety in their daily lives of "i accidentally swallowed glue help!"

no i completely agree, like especially how some names can just be words, like naming your kid river or sky, but then others arent and theyre Just Names, like Wilson or Michael, or some other names that arent survival movie names (sorry to the people named wilson and michael lol) and like how technically we dont need names, like its easier with, but we could do without if we wanted to, but we were like "no i need to identify my friends and people i know!!"

nah, i wouldnt blame you, i too would leave myself for abigail thorn. wait shes six feet?? *beats you to the door without furniture bc Priorities*

mutually preemptive divorce <3 we part ways amicably only to come back together in the end

(no yeah, the jokes that they actually made werent funny At All, but the whole bit where the women "forgave" them only to give them a taste of their own medicine was the only good part. and the anthega guy, i couldnt get over his face, plus im gay for Tamannaah, Mehreen, and Varun Tej, so i spent the whole time simping lol) (but have you seen Varun Tej in Gaddalakonda Ganesh/Valmiki?? sir 😭✋🏽 some of us are gay)

ah thank you 🥰 its @thoughts-of-a-trying-tree, i wanted to keep the tree theme lmao. i love your nonsense too <3

ooo, a vacation!! thats exciting, i hope you have fun! im cool with you sending random asks but make sure to enjoy yourself and let go too!! ill live vicariously through you, lmao

no i feel like that sometimes too, its a bit strange to think of other people similar to me bc i spent so long thinking everyone else was opposite to me, if that makes sense? we've probably seen each other at suvidha or bawarchi lol, or maybe you were that kid stuffing kinder joys in their mouth so they could steal them (imagine if that was actually you, lol. dont tell me or ill lose my mind)

i am hanging upside down from the ceiling, swinging precariously and hoping i dont bring the roof down 😌 what a wonderful rooooom

love you toooo *hugs back* <3

aw, thank you! ill put it in a little vase <3

[devilfic]

Wait! Although, yes, the gender neutral thing is in all 3 projects, I actually meant that iswm was the only one that didn't show skin. I can't remember if the other projects were like that too, so i rewatched them (just the first parts) and unfortunately adwm showed skin, like a full hand, while ahwm showed a little bit between their long sleeves and gloves. Now i remember being sad about it... But what can i say... it's not like i've seen many representation of my kind in media anyway. So yeah, as someone with darker skin, i feel you 😔

In iswm, there is no skin color shown ever. It was always covered with gloves and socks/shoes. I feel that they learned and realized that's what it should be like, for the figure to be as neutral as possible so that everyone can identify with them. I wish they did that for adwm and ahwm, but it is what it is. I just hope they will continue to be as inclusive in their future projects.

I wouldn't say that my august and september would be completely stress-free, but yeah!!! Again, i feel so relieved, i'm glad i told you about it, and thank you for your encouragement!! Also, OH MY GOD. Okay. Well. I actually have read boogeyman part 2 a few times as of the moment i'm writing this ask. I don't want to sound like i'm repeating myself so i'm gonna put all my thoughts about it in the reblog tags. Oh and i will be sending my next request soon! Just in case tho, how detailed do you prefer your request to be??

What we do in the shadows sound interesting! I might give it a go, but for now, i'm actually in the middle of the sandman! I started watching it because of that gifset you reblogged, comparing battinson and sandman. I've heard of the sandman ever since the trailer came out, but i didn't know what it was, so i just.. didn't really pay attention to it, but then it's trending often and i saw that gifset and so i became curious about it!! Ugh there's so many things i wanna doooooo

Anyway, that letter from eddie looks so cool?????? If you told me that its a canon thing from the show i would believe it, like, the handwriting just suits him??? And the pictures!!!!!! Honestly it feels so weird but so cool at the same time??? I can't really explain it jdxhdjccjdb oh is it like a customized thing or??

-cain

ahh yeah, I went to watch ahwm and I noticed in some shots the hands were shown. but it didn't take me out of it too much! but you know the feeling. I had to pretend when I watched one direction's night changes mv at 15 that that was my white hand holding onto harry styles, what's a little more pretending I didn't see anything :)

yeah!! it's good they learned it'd be better to be more inclusive. I know some directors and stuff don't want things like that to interfere with their "creative vision" but going a little extra mile to make the audience feel included does wonders.

you're very welcome!! always happy to help. AND I SAW. it was a lot longer than the first one (almost twice as long? I think). I got carried away with it, I'll be honest. I know you really like the story so I thought I'd put in the extra effort ^^ thank you for continuing to support that story and reading it so enthusiastically!! it's so refreshing. as for requests, I give a few examples of requests that are too detailed in my guidelines, but honestly as long as you can leave me a little wiggle room, I can work with most anything!

OH SWEET YOU STARTED THE SANDMAN!! it's kinda crazy that dream's actor and robert pattinson used to be roommates (and I think they're still friends as well?). small world for goths. do you love death as much as I do? I love the usually broody, emo personifications of death in other media but her portrayal was a breath of fresh air.

and RIGHT. it feels like getting inserted into the canon in a little way. definitely on my nightly scenario rotation now. and it is customized to an extent, I believe! you tell them your name (my friend did it for me so I'm not sure of all the details) and I guess some other small details and they put something special together for you. like that playlist (I've got it saved on my spotify now OTL) ;-; I'm a sucker for playlists.

[goldenlie]

Nooo please don't apologise for the length, I love it, it shows you took the time to write out a response and wanted to say so much or ramble so much, it makes me happy, kinda feels like a validating hug and I also often tend to say something like you said using 5 lines instead of 1 so I really don't mind hahah I hope your internship is going well and you are showing everyone how much of a girlboss you are 😌 And don't apologise seriously I can wait, your responses are always worth it with how thoughtful they are!

Oh wow, I guess great minds really think alike then, I really liked Sherlock too and I did like s3 with more focus on actual Sherlock as him and not only his detective and closed off side (but I'm also johnlock shipper so I'm very biased 😔) but also agree that not getting the solution to *spoiler* was disappointing... worst part was I actually tried to figure it out on my own when a rewatched at some point and didn't remember any theories and before watching TEH and pretty much ended up with idea very close to what Sherlock said to Anderson which was played as not making sense? When to me it did besides some details so I was confused and now I'm just disappointed how open-ended they left it. So yeah s3 had some ups and downs but don't get me started on s4 cause... what was that disaster 😭 literally it was such a mess, the only episode that I enjoyed was TLD and that's only because of the visuals, it's very aesthetic with nice color work just pretty especially Sherlock deductions with chalk and everything but I wish it had... more enjoyable content in it not just look pretty 😭 Tbh I got back in Sherlock cause my yt recs dedicated to throw an episode of a series explaining the show in tjlc perspective and I was never in that community but I got curious and watched most of it, it's interesting especially in perspective when you already know what is going to happen at the end of the road. Very nice and as much as painful it was in a way that you know the ending it also gave me a lot of ideas about interpreting content, themes and literary devices like mirrors and such and so I decided to buy myself a book that explains more general theory and can't wait when it gets to me :D I'm also very tempted to read actual books, I never did but definitely on my tbr list... somewhere among many different ones ;-; Also the name of the actor that plays John is Martin but it would be very funny if it was actually John lmao he does look like that name would suit him. I like Ben and Martin's dynamic so I also enjoyed the scenes in Hobbit with the 2 of them (Martin as Bilbo and Ben as Smaug), there isn't a lot of them but definitely fun to watch and I remember a lot of funny memes and jokes about them being not so different from Sherlock and John or for them to just eat snickers and go back to 221B hahah

I'll be honest you are spoiling me with recs right know cause I didn't watch most of the tv shows that were popular since high school the recent ones that were popular and I watched were Arcane and Squid Game and these 2 I can definitely recommend, they are very good! I also recently rewatched Bo Burnham special Inside so you can also add that, I don't know if you heard of him but he is in my opinion very talented creator so check him out on yt or netflix if you want. I didn't watch TWD but I didn't play the games or at least the major 3 ones so I can recommend them if you are interested in that type of games, sure in the end these games often give you illusion of choice and only few major decisions matter and carry on across games but I'm just too fond of Lee and Clementine not to recommend them, especially Clementine as you guide her and then play as her as she grows so I'm attached to her 😭

When it comes to anime I can definitely relate 😌 So you are watching the anime that was pretty much the blueprint of yandere character... good luck if it's your first time watching and if it's a rewatch I hope it's enjoyable! I  watched Mirai Nikki but not Sonic X so I can talk about the first one if you have any thoughts but not the other one sadly 😔 Recently I went back and rewatched some episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen I particularly enjoyed so I can rec that if you haven't watched it yet, I started watched s2 of Demon Slayer but I prefer to binge watch series so after few weeks of watching episodes as they came out I gave up and decided to wait for it to finish lmao and also similarly I watched Sasaki and Miyano to a certain part and have to get back to finish it at some point, it's very cute bl anime! Oh and when I was heavily procrastinating I watched Handa-kun which is prequel series to Barakamon, funny and lighthearted something to chill to or akhem procrastinate to... so yeah few of different genres so you can pick something you are in the mood for after you finish the ones you are currently watching :D

Yeah, I just couldn't bring myself around to watch any streams, I was very happy so many people decided to visit George after hearing he is feeling depressed but I definitely agree Dream shouldn't just say stuff like that especially when we know how private George is about his feelings even to his closest friends so him saying that made me just remember leaking George's pictures when George asked him not to all over again. I think with qnf it might be that their dynamic will shine the most when they are together without that much other people around so with George and Quackity(?) meeting Sapnap for the first time and Tina and Karl you end up in a situation when you can't even uhh that's a bad thing to say here but prioritize who needs your attention when and you just have to split a lot of it. So yeah, I mostly experienced this meet up with only what appeared on my dash like photos and clips but that's it and similarly to you I was ready to at least watch mcc but after finding out neither George or Quackity are participating I just didn't have any reason to anymore lmao Tbh I think last time I watched a stream it was... George's lore stream? The destroying dreamsmp one. Maybe I watched Quackity's at some point but I honestly don't remember.

So yeah, now I dropped a novel here so you don't have to apologise or worry about your responses! Told you I tend to ramble myself and here is the proof although I didn't plan for that hahah and also I remember that you asked about what I'm studying and I never answered so sorry about that! I'm studying cognitive science and currently suffering with beginning to start gathering materials and thinking about topic for my thesis ;-; - qnf enjoyer ^_^

I absolutely understand the feeling after seeing this in my ask box, thank you for the time you spent writing this out I love a good deep dive into a few interests. I am absolutely girlbossing with my paycheck and I am gaslighting them into thinking I'm capable for the role, you could say it's a win win.

The writers definitely had no fucking clue how to write themselves out of s2 endings and made all plausible theory's look silly and for what? Writers did not like feeling one upped. Honestly that situation would've been 100 times better if they said something, anything, give us a crumb please. I do have a place in my heart for Johnlock as well, the dynamic going on had me locked in. I must look at s3 with fresh eyes. I actually don't remember the specifics of that ep in s4, props on the good aesthetics going on but definitely lacking on the decent plot. Omg yes SarahZ's video by any chance? All I remember now is the shirt she bought that said something like tea is marriage, food is sex, kind of serving wish I experienced that unique roller-coaster first hand. I need to look more into the imagery and symbolism breakdown that sounds so fun, my favorite part of watching show is seeing peoples theorys about the background or the lighting etc. so the book sounds like some purchase now if it's good do recommend it. It sounds like it'll be a real interesting read and make consuming media even more enjoyable.

Omg yes Martin that's so funny, I don't know why I thought his name matched?? I feel like the only celebrity I know like that is Charlie Sheen who played Charlie Harper in two and a half men (A comedy central show I watched when I was admittedly much too young to catch half their references). Ok I've actually never seen the hobbit (😳) however comma I did try and watch it once and only got through about 30 minutes but it was in broad daylight and I think that put me off, the external vibes weren't right. Now knowing they're both in it has caught my interest so I'm going to remember to watch it, I'll let you know when I do! I'm missing out on the Ben and Martin lore fr.

It's difficult to keep up with the trends, it takes a lot to sit down and officially watch a one hour ep of anything. I've seen Squid game as well! I really enjoyed it, I watched it with a friend at college one night until like four in the morning, very very good show but I'm actually not keen on the idea of a season two? but maybe it's just because of how popular it got there's slim chance it could live up to expectations. I fear they'll just repeat s1 with new games, new cast, apart from mister 467 and repeat. Still really fucking good though and they might knock it out of the park. I haven't seen arcane yet despite being a bit of a league player (openly admitting this, I'm truly shameless) but I did hear small criticism that not much happened in it?? However I think it looks like something I'd enjoy, maybe people expected something more heavy on the action? Not that I even know what happens but I'm going off of my friends defense. Ok purr on Bo Burnham I had only seen his song art is dead before the Netflix special so I knew a small bit (and my TikTok fyp was informing me quite quickly) so I forced my family to watch the special on my birthday 😭 I enjoyed it but a lot of the references were a bit lost on the older generation, at least in my house anyway.

I saw let's plays of the video games actually! That's so fun on our correlation here I remember watching probably jacksepticeye at the time playing out the seasons. Big clementine and Lee enjoyer, I forget names but I loved one of the girls from season two whos backstory I don't recall (if we even got one) but she had a bit of an attitude and got with the who I remember to be a nice guy. My absolute favorite video game though has to be The Last of Us. I adored it when I was younger, the sequel definitely lost me, not as bad as other people took it but no matter how much I tried to enjoy it I couldn't. If you've seen / played it you'll absolutely know what I'm referring to 😭 If not I'd recommend playing through the first one, the graphics were divine and the plot was enjoyable, it really got me invested.

First time watching Mirai Nikki, I'm not far in as is and haven't watched an ep since I first mentioned it but I don't mind it. I definitely see how miss pink hair is the literal baseline for all yandere characters to come, quite interesting seeing the big beginning. Jujutsu Kaisen I've heard great ravings about ngl, it's been on my list for a while I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ok purr on demon slayer I've only seen the first season (I watched it like January two years ago now?) it felt a little, and I do mean a little, bland. Like just by a touch it was missing something, but I say this having my first ever anime being Fairy Tail (at my old age of 12 years old I ate it up so bad, I had just started my higher level education and over a two week break I didn't text any of my friends and saved my limited Wi-Fi for binging it. Horrible friend but god I was having the time of my life) so I think I was spoilt for content to keep me entertained and watch the main character pool expand. That being said I still liked it, big Zenitsu (hope that's how you spell it) enjoyer. Side note but I went through a month period in my life where I was obsessed with watching the Japanese voice acting community videos- specifically the radio shows they get them all doing, so watching demon slayer was like playing bingo with all the va's I recognized (a lot of haikyuu va's making the rounds, good for them good for them). I haven't actually heard of your other recs but I googled them and have them bookmarked for future reference. I always enjoy a good binge, I'm sure you've seen it but I recently watched Avatar the last airbender for the very first time in my life, I loved it I'm not gonna even try and hide it I adored it. All characters were interesting and had proper depth to them although I will say I think they dropped the ball on my fave on an episode in s3. Felt very omg we need a filler episode think!! and they came out with something that felt contradictory to all we knew about this guy. Anyway if that's the worst that came out of 3 seasons they did well. If you are looking for a real easy watch I would recommend The Great Pretender, think there's two seasons of it out rn. It's a Netflix original (Netflix have done well on the animes I've seen acc which surprised me) I've been watching since the first day just not actually on Netflix, but on the site I used it would upload the eps once a day so it was a really fun watch every lunch break for about two weeks, good vibes. Slightly more serious vibe which I really enjoyed, again you've probably seen but Tower of God, 12 eps that went so hard. Let me know if you've seen and your thoughts! ^^

Yeah like I appreciate George has a couple ride or die friends, happy for him but Dream needs to start understanding the difference between public and private information. I probably said this before but Dream doesn't seem to understand how you could be a public figure / creator without telling your following a lot of personal information- be it to keep them entertained or to form a more personal connection with his audience. So when Georges content is based on vibes alone I think Dream mostly wants to help out in his own way (the only way he knows how to), and help form that more personal connection (albeit one sided). That being said laying out any personal info about someone else, friend or foe, to your thousands of fans is dead stupid. I don't know what was going through his mind publicizing that but I can assure you there was very little. Like you said it ain't the first time with him leaking those photos and he did leak about George owning pets too, with minimal love just keep you mouth shut king and mind your business, I'm begging even. You're so right on Qnf being in their element much more when it's just the two of them where attention isn't divided. Honestly first time meetups can walk a thin line on appearing awkward or fun through a camera and adding more people weighs the odds much more in favor of awkwardness. Stop sitting down to watch a stream these days isn't hitting the same. That being said I did but on Georges pov from Ludwigs fortnite tournament the other day for bg noise, he was initially going to be on a team with Foolish, Karl, and Tubbo which sounds fun as is but he got switched onto Connor (pants eater), Punz, and this other creator whose name escapes me but it was good enough vibes I'll be honest. I am a Connor and Punz enjoyer (and an ex fortnite player but not a good one) anyway despite rarely watching them but if you're looking for noise to work to there you go.

I really enjoyed reading your ramblings so don't worry, sorry the response took a hot minute I'm working from home today so it was catching up all around. Ok cognitive science sounds fun af and also extremely complex you're absolutely popping off with your choice. I hope you've been enjoying it! Don't remind me about a thesis I'm quite lucky in that I don't officially start for a few months, I hope it's not crazy stressful. I saw a tiktok a few months ago about this girl who didn't start until she had like 3 weeks left 😍 I think that's when I'd be mentally and physically clocking out of the course. I say that watch me work myself into the same situation. I wish you all the best with it though and I hope you've gotten struck with inspiration for your topic and it's writing itself, good luck legend!
