#failing algebra

[kokowolfe]

I realized I REALLY don't know how to socialize with social people ._.

Like, with shy people is easier because I feel emphatic. I feel like I'm "less shy" than them, so it's easier for me to talk to them.

However, when social people approach me, I panic internally, because I try TOO HARD to seem social, easygoing, and not awkward at all.

Well...

Some days ago I let a random girl borrow my computer for a while, as she had a programming test and wanted to practice a bit. After that, she thanked me twice and gave me a candy to show how glad she was I helped her out. I happily accepted and that was it. She seemed like a pretty nice girl, but I wasn't ready to keep interacting with her after that due to my own awkwardness.

Today she came to my seat asking how I studied for algebra, since she saw my grades (which are public for the whole class to see some reason and I really hate that ;-;) and though they were far from good (tbh, this year's been awful for me 😭), they weren't THAT BAD. And she asked me if she could join me the next time I studied.

Tbh, I don't understand the subject myself, but accepted anyway.

Later today, during a break, she came to me again to have a small talk of the current subject we were learning in chemistry and how interesting and not-difficult was so far.

So I realized, this girl has some interest in staying in contact with me. At least to some degree. And I don't know how to reciprocate to since I feel it'd be awkward if I was the one who approached her, since she has a group friend while I'm more of a quiet one most of the time (the reason I started hanging out with the other quiet kid of the class xd)

But yeh, she seems nice, but idk what to even do ;-;

demanding a series in the same vein (heh, vein) as Dexter/Hannibal wherein a prolific serial killer plays cat & mouse with the police--except the serial killer in question is a preteen schoolgirl. this would make for compelling television due to the fact that middle school frequently causes girls to become deranged, and more media should reflect this

you know something that's kinda been bugging me about NPMD? Max Jägerman realistically wouldn't be able to play at the big game even if he didn't die.

it's heavily implied that Max is failing the majority of his classes, or that he doesn't have the credits towards graduation that he needs(he'd probably be a super senior irl). since Hatchetfield is in michigan, all competitive activities would have to follow the state's no pass no play policy. if we're assuming that Max is failing his classes and doesn't have enough credits towards graduation(66% is passing and not having the credits can also bar athletes from playing), he legally shouldn't be able to play football at games.

thanks for coming to my ted talk

Hi Leon!! It’s princeblue but my main acc!! Dropping into ask what you think Genya’s and kyojurous, and maybe even senjurou’s dynamic would be like? You said you interested in being moots sooo I’m taking an opportunity to have a convo hehe

omg hello!!!! thank u for sending this i literally have no idea how to start conversations lmaoo

i think it depends on how much they know about each other/where Genya is in his character development! there’s a LOT of factors here so im gonna try and turn it into a formula because that’s my favorite analysis format lol

i don’t know if this is going to make any sense because I don’t know how to do actual math but breaking things into variables makes it easier to sort them in my brain

let’s say K = kyojuro and G = genya. x = how much kyojuro knows about genya, and y = how much genya knows about kyo. a = pre-tanjiro genya and b = post-tanjiro genya. (i assume this would make a difference bc tanjiro makes him less aggressive lol.) Going to leave Senjuro out for now because that’s too many variables for a post that I don’t plan to cross-reference 💀

There’s also the fact that canonically, post-Tanjiro Genya would never meet Kyojuro, but I didn’t think about that until I was nearly done with this post so I’ll leave that variable in as a hypothetical. aG in this scenario can be a control group I guess lol

let’s take (K)x + (aG)y as a base formula, and solve for the dynamic there. assuming x is “Kyojuro knows nothing except Genya’s last name”, and y is “Genya knows Kyojuro as a Hashira and nothing else”, it’s safe to say their dynamic would be mostly professional. Kyojuro, knowing Genya’s last name, would no doubt link him to Sanemi. But Sanemi fervently denies having any siblings, so Kyojuro would likely try to probe Genya for info, due to his brotherly instinct. He’d want to know if something was wrong, so he could help if possible. Assuming we’re dealing with aG, Genya would shirk away the questions, and Kyojuro would back off out of respect. I don’t think Genya would be too rude about it due to Kyojuro being a Hashira, but definitely a bit more irritable and snarky than bG would be.

bG would feel hurt at the mention of Sanemi, but I believe he’d be more open to talking about it. If Genya opens up to Kyojuro, I think they have high potential to form a brotherly relationship given enough time. Kyojuro would feel protective of Genya, and, whether consciously or not, may link him to Senjuro and begin to act brotherly and/or protective of him as well. If Kyojuro knows that Genya eats demons to make himself stronger at the cost of his own health, he’d probably be horrified- food is very important to Kyojuro and he would be mortified at the idea of eating a demon to gain its powers, especially if it hurts the consumer. I’m not sure if he’d try to stop Genya or not, but he’d definitely be concerned about him.

Either way, I think the key variable here is whether or not Genya lets his guard down long enough for Kyojuro to learn his story- then I think their relationship would evolve from professional to a lot more brotherly. Kyojuro can’t entirely help it- it’s in his nature to protect, it’s literally been taught to him since he was old enough to understand. He would want to protect Genya regardless, but learning his story, his sacrifices, and his actions going forward, Kyojuro would almost certainly take him under his own wing if given the chance. I believe Genya would remind Kyojuro of Senjuro- someone who doesn’t fight traditionally, but is so so strong in their own regard. They aren’t exactly the same, but they have enough similarities that i believe Kyo would definitely associate the two.

how knowing Genya would change his perception of Sanemi is also an interesting concept but I’m going to save that for another post lol

anyway pls feel free to plug in different variables for me to analyze???? id like to do them all here but unfortunately i am writing this post so i can procrastinate on my schoolwork so im gonna call it here lol

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ALGEBRA RIGHT NOW

[genuflectx]

Maaan I love the optimistic advice "keep practicing and you'll get better at art" as much as the next artist, but it always rubs me the wrong way when that evolves into "just keep practicing and you WILL 100% succeed and CAN get into the industry."

It changes from good general advice to implying you're just doing something wrong if still haven't "made it" yet. Not in the industry? Well, you just haven't worked hard enough, obviously, as if there aren't plenty of other factors that play into "succeeding” in a highly competitive industry like art.

Don’t let advice that’s supposed to be encouraging turn into something discouraging 😭

richie tried to learn how to write with his left hand so he could hold hands with eddie while they take notes in class. he failed, miserably, until eddie said "dumbass im ambidextrous" and they hold hands while taking notes in class.

what does it mean if a 0 is between those two lines I forget the name of in math. like this : |0|

[gaysforbyler]

If you head cannon Mike as bad at math, I automatically don’t trust your opinion. No one that sucks at math likes physics. He’s such a logistical genius.

dude this schools so fucked up like its actually insane
