You might've heard people saying that are our brain is amazing and capable of astounding things and well they're not wrong. Your brain is the most complex organ in the body with billions of neurons that have trillions of connections called synapses that makes it able to communicate, with this information how can we say that it's not amazing?

Our consciousness is thought to sit at the cerebral cortex and is said to have three levels to it. The conscious, subconscious and unconscious. They're all tasked with different things. I'll explain them all...

The conscious: This is the part that we have control over, our thoughts, feelings, decisions and acknowledgement are all made here. It's what you're using right now to read this post and also where the awareness of you reading this post is. Basically thoughts, feelings and awareness.

The subconscious: It's not in the current focus of our awareness hence called the subconscious mind. It's a barrier that's put up by our mind so that we don't become overwhelmed by all the information that we get when we interact with this world. For example our nose in the center of our vision, the feeling of our clothes or our tongue resting on the roof of our mouth. Because of this barrier we're allowed to focus our awareness on more important decision making and cognitive tasks without getting overwhelmed. This can be noticed when we decide (conscious) to pick up a new skill which can be hard to learn and do before we become a natural at it which then makes it an automatic (subconscious) skill.

The unconscious: It's perhaps the most mysterious form of consciousness since it's not available for introspection or analysis. We do know that it's a hoard of feelings, thoughts and memories lost from our conscious mind, it contains the painful past that we might simply want to forget about. Some people say that we never forget and that it just get's buried deep down within our mind and with the right signals we can recover the forgotten memories.

Now to the fun part. It's a small "experiment" that you can do every night just to see how amazing your subconscious mind truly is. Firstly I haven't found any article's stating that this is your subconscious minds doing, some say it might be your circadian rhythm (internal body clock) but I personally assume that it's your subconscious and if you know loa let's just go with it.

The experiment is you controlling when you wake up. You might go "really, that's it?" but when you first do it and it works it'll feel a bit 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂, anyways here's what to do.

Go to bed. Doesn't need to be nighttime you just need to go to sleep for this.

While falling asleep tell yourself that you'll wake up in xxx hours/minutes. For example you go to bed at 00:00 and want to wake up in 8 hours, naturally that would be 08:00 so just affirm "I will wake up in 8 hours." or "I will wake up at 08:00"

Drift off to sleep~

Wake up and check the time and it should be the designated time.

This is actually a technique used a lot in lucid dreaming method's and could also be used in shifting/manifesting/void method's. Since the brain is just like a sponge when you wake up it absorbs any kind of information presented it with and sometimes induces "hallucinations". I'd recommend shorting the time you sleep if you're gonna use it as a method though. It's also pretty similar if not the same to SATS.

This has worked for me on multiple occasions and if you wake up and the time doesn't match when you wanted to wake up it might be because you already woke up earlier and just went back to sleep and forgot about it later, happened with me a few times but because of signals I remembered. I even got rid of my alarm for school because of this and I still woke up in time for school.

warning: if this post does NOT resonate with you or your beliefs feel free to ignore it, you don't need to send hate or make posts on how stupid this is or that it's wrong. some might misunderstand this post (like the last one) and make misguided comments, please think a little before you open your mouth :). yapping session is cause i'm really interested in this topic lol.

"little" rant

thinking about how much potential dylan (klebold) had genuinely pisses me off. i can't read his diary anymore without wanting to punch my monitor in.

dylan wasn't cruel - at the end of his life he was, he took innocent lives and created a tragedy that even today people cannot get over nor understand fully, but that wasn't who he was. this was the same boy who took over his friends (erics) shift at work when his dog was sick and wanted to spend time with him, this was the boy who cried when one of his cats got loose due to fearing that the cat would die, this was the boy who struggled with depression, and ultimately the depression took his life. while some people may argue that, to do what dylan did, you have to be cruel, i don't agree. not in the slightest. i think to do what dylan did, you have to be battling mental illnesses that go unchecked because being a man in the 90s meant to be strong. to not let your emotions best you, and when you got bullied you were to put your head down and continue on. people nowadays have normalized speaking out about your mental health, to get help, and this is great! but also, it makes looking back on tragedies such as this hard, because our first question would be: "well, why didn't they just get help?" while they could've, 90s culture was still very much shameful of mental health, especially in men. it's still a problem to this day. and, actually, eric had gotten help - he had seen a therapist and had gotten perscribed Luvox to help. but it didn't work. infact, this medication is now known to increase suicidal/homicidal thoughts and increase depression. back onto my point, dylan wasn't "the monster next door", he was a kid struggling with mental health. he was a kid who was horrendously shy. he was a kid who was lead astray by a toxic mix of his own dark thoughts, parents who weren't aware how bad mental health could really be, a toxic culture at his school, and access to guns and pipe bombs. i feel as though if dylan had gotten proper help, he could've gone on to do great things - he was incredibly smart, getting into a program for gifted students when he was young smart. sue (klebold) has even admitted that she should've been more aware of mental health (or "brain health" as she likes to call it) while raising dylan and byron. while sue isn't to blame for what went on, i think that her parenting style certainly played a part into why dylans mental health got to the point where it was. sue mostly focused on getting byron help during the time dylan Really needed it, and when the van break in happened, sue gave dylan the choice on whether or not he needed therapy - obviously, he said no. i think that she gave dylan too much freedom and trusted him way too much on things that mattered, like therapy for an example. but, there's no perfect way to parent, and i am in no way whatsoever trying to say that sue was responsible for what dylan did!! i will close off by saying, while dylan definitely had potential and Needed help, and it pisses me off that he didn't get help, i am no way condoning what he did nor saying that he was "justified" in any way. he was struggling, sure, but he shouldn't have taken it out on innocent people. i am also in NO WAY supporting the "dylan was a follower" theory, i think it's fucking bullshit and eric and dylan both "followed" each other - i think their friendship was more codependent, and they hyped each other up to the point of no return. they are both at fault for what happened that day, and should both be held accountable to the same levels. thank you for reading if you've gotten this far!!! sorry i yapped so much i was expecting this to be WAY shorter lolol

VROOM (harry lewis x reader)

summary : in which y/n and harry get invited to go to the silverstone formula one grand prix (2023)

face claim : no one exact

notes : im an absolute noob at writing fics so please excuse the quality lmao. im petrified of posting on here but ive been thinking about starting a blog for over a year. im open to feedback, opinions and any sort of questions/advice is welcome! i happen to waffle a lot so just skip those parts if uninterested. this is my first post so enjoy 😝 also pls request because i have the creativity of a koala so id appreciate some ideas :D

pairings : harry lewis x reader , lando norris x platonic!reader

"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?! Are you actually serious?" You asked your boyfriend in genuine shock, followed by a laugh from the man dressed in head to toe in Ferrari merch. The red and yellow colors clashed hilariously with the sleek, orange McLaren paddock pass hanging around his neck.

"What? I thought I'd support the winning team." He shrugged, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. You and Harry got invited by the Mclaren F1 team to watch the Silverstone Grand Prix from the paddock. As a Formula 1 fan youself, you were excited to see the cars upclose. To watch the mechanics to the pitstops, engineers do their things (idk what they do lmao) and to watch Max Verstappen overlap the whole grid like seven times. Even since you were a little kid you were amazed by those cars driving freakishly quickly. Now, several years later you get to experience it right infront of your eyes.

"Look, there's Lando!" Harry pointed out, spotting your friend talking to a group of mechanics. You approached Lando, who broke into a wide grin as he saw you. "Hey! There are my favorite YouTubers!"

You beamed. "Lando! It's so good to see you. How's it going?"

"It's been wild but amazing," Lando replied, glancing at Harry. "And I see you've managed to get Harry in the right gear this time."

Harry laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I had a little help with that."

Lando gave you two a playful nudge. "So, who are you rooting for today? Besides me, of course."

You laughed. "Well, McLaren, obviously. But I'm also excited to see how the Brits perform. It's going to be an interesting race."

"That's the spirit," Lando said, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "Alright, I better get back to my team, but I'll see you guys later? Enjoy the race!"

You and Harry found a spot in the back of Landos garage, it had a view on the screens but also the pit-stop. The whole race went by fast. The moment the lights went out Lando tried his hardest with a deserved P2 at his home race.

Liked by mclaren, f1 & 1,002,485 others.

🍁 There is positive and challenging traits in every planet no matter if it’s a benefic or malefic planet. Malefic planets just happen to have MORE challenging traits than the benefic planets

🍁 Pluto/Scorpio/8th house placements can show where we have the most control over how others view/perceive us and 10th house placements can show where we don’t

🍁 People with Mars in the 11th house can manifest things very quickly. This is because Mars rules over speed/desires and the 11th house rules over manifesting

🍁 Neptune can show what addictions we have and Pluto can show our obsessions -> addictions based on Neptune

🍁 Pluto can represent toxicity but people always get it twisted and think that means Scorpio placements are toxic which is untrue. Astrology is a polarity and you can take on positive and challenging traits. Not every Scorpio will take on the trait of being toxic especially if there’s a lot of positive aspects to your Pluto or Scorpio placements

🍁 The 4th and 5th house can tell about your favorite holidays. This is because the 4th house rules over traditions and the 5th house rules over festivities

🍁 Having your 5th house ruler in the 9th house can indicate talent in photography

🍁 If you have a Synastry aspect with benefic planets but it happens to be a square/opposite aspect it will still bring challenges regardless. This doesn’t mean it’s inherently negative though as challenges can of course be worked through and bring a positive outcome through effort

🍁 Your Saturn in somebody’s 2nd house in Synastry can indicate you having a trauma bond with the 2nd house person

🍁 Pluto in the 7th house in Composite Charts (if this specific challenging trait is taken on) can indicate you both love the toxicity in your relationship and are addicted to the pain because it’s a constant roller coaster and thrill for you both. Kind of similar to a Nate and Maddy from Euphoria type vibe

I’m all for Landoscar sharing a braincell moments in the new video

Here’s my cut:

“Wow look at you” yeah Oscar… we see you looking-

And not only were they on the same wavelength, Oscar confirming Lando as “an artiste” and approving the sketchy #LN4thewin pun got me. Like BOY 👏 I see you 🤨

Updated video cos I felt the need to also include Oscar reaffirming Lando’s smartness with the lights out drawing

[platonic-writer]

Hihi! I was wondering, would you take requests for reader based on characters from shows/games?:3 also, I’d like 2 request a gn!child reader w Dottore - reader is quiet and doesn’t like to be out or talk to people a lot, but when someone mentions something remotely interesting they rant a lot!! :D

Hello! You're Request has been made!

I do take request from Shows or games, but if it comes to shows, you can request them, but i never did watch many so i would have to go watch the show first before i make your Request

(*^^*)♡

TALKATIVE/SHY GN!CHILD READER & PLATONIC DOTTORE

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

You've been Dottore's child since 2 years already

At first it was hard for him because you didn't talk a lot

That seemed to change when he began talking about one of GN!readers hobbys

Not even a second after he bought up the topic you began to rant

Dottore was impressed, who knew you would talk a lot if its something you like?

You always seemed to hide behind him when there were a lot of people, but when you're alone with your father figure you became an extrovert who couldn't stop yapping

Once you started talking theres no stopping you

"Its nice.? That were talking about this... but i must go? I shall see you tomorrow"-dottore

"OH! Don't worry i can just come with you!(((o(*°▽°*)o)))"-You

You followed him. FOR 2 HOURS AND DIDNT STOP YAPPING😭🙏

After that day he still listened, but he does sometimes just drop you off next to one of the lower ranks

Everytime someone new comes into the same room as you and Dottore, you're suddently quieter than a damn Mouse

You then hide behind dottores leg until they're gone

The Fatui thinks that you're just really introverted and don't like talking

Who's gonna tell them that you just won't stop talking?

Dottore once left you alone in a Meeting room, when he came back to take you to you're room, he saw you and childe yapping

You were talking so many sentences in a minute, and Childe was listening to everything you said💀

"AND I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE-" -You

"HM HM YES I AGREE OMG DO YOU THINK-" -Childe

" ٩(๑･ิᴗ･ิ)۶٩(･ิᴗ･ิ๑)۶" -you both

Dottore just stood there :(・_・ヾ"

You both talked for 5 hours

Dottore has banned you from meeting Childe every day

You have playdates with childe every week so you both can yap

Childe told the Harbingers that you and him get along really well and talk a lot

The Harbingers just thought he was delusional💀🙏

Until they saw you and childe yapping together

The Harbingers lowkey avoid you and childe when yall are together, because why should they hear you yap about smth for HOURS?

Dottore finds it calming when you yap while he does an experiment, it helps him focus because of the background noises

Summary: You are one of a yapper who doesen't stop talking, but Dottore loves that about you. He feels calm when he hears you talk a lot, he knows that you're okay whenever you yap

Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it and do give me Requests! ☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)chu

never letting anyone, lucifer or myself forget abt this msg. oh my god…. HE WOULD SEND YOU MESSAGES DURING THE DAY TO LIKE… TEASE U… SIGH…… UGHHH H HHHH….. AND THEN ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED…….UUGUGUGUGHGHHH H HH H HH H HH!!!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

in this msg he was drunk and i MHDHBCBC CDRUNK LUCIFER IS NEVER NOT HILARIOUS TO MEE OMFG og obey me players will remember the msg he sends in swd where he is literally laughing and giggling like a school girl saying how he misses us IT’S GEN CRAZY omfg im getting nostalgic remember the bitter coffee msg where the more bitter the coffee is the more the person who made it for you loves you omfg

part of me misses og obey me and then i go into nightbringer and see how much easier it is to get tickets and.. LMFOAOAO only thing that makes me die inside about nightbringeris #1 THE FACETIME CALLS LFMAKOAAOOAOAOAO OH YM GODDDDD (/hj) and #2 the fucking skill requirements 😭😭 as much as i hate it it’s actually a really good design choice bc previously raising the skill of a card was practically completely ignored and not necessary at all, it was sooo ignored it was gen crazy i remember it sm so at the end of the day as much as it’s a FUCKING PAIN it gives the skill mechanic way more purpose and stuff also it’s pretty rewarding when i finally fucking get my lucifer anniversary ur to skill level 5. 😐 or when i can’t make a card 5 starred because i don’t have skill level 2… or when i can’t get the PREMIUM IMAGE BECAUSE YOU NEED SKILL LEVEL 2 TO GET IT.

thankfully i saved my ur+ skill level up cards and i was able to get both Lucifer’s anniversary premium image, his naked one as well as barbatos’s naked one (yay!!!!! :3) this turned into a complete silly rant pardon my ignorance dear chap 🧐 (satire i promiseHEKPP)

[peachzffs]

hear me out here.

Donnie and Cassy go on a date to Murakami's restaurant, I don't feel like I've seen this idea for jonatello yet (sorry if I'm wrong)

I'm so posting some art or a fanfic to do with it later :D

[wild-magic-oops]

I've always got the feeling that the bulk of Gale's story is written by one person but the stupidass comments about him thrown into other dialogues (like the boring sex comment to the drow at the brothel) are written by other people who either don't get his character or are just incredibly biased against/hateful towards him, and it now more than ever definitely makes me feel like I was right about that...
