this came to me in a dream

I'm getting whumperflies from my textbook's chapter on behaviorism. The cold, calculated way it talks about behaviors completely separate from the person doing them and the emphasis on reinforcement and punishment are just so very whumpy. Generally it uses attention as an example of reinforcement, which leads to stuff like "it's effective to avoid eye contact and conversation while restraining a patient so that misbehaving isn't unintentionally reinforced through attention." Like that's one of the whumpiest things I've ever read and it's in a psychology textbook. Imagine a whumper just completely ceasing any eye contact or conversation while Whumpee is being punished because attention is a reinforcer

Behaviorism is so fucked up

I am pleased to announced this madness will have an end. It just might be mad until the very end.

On a serious note: A really huge warm thank you to everyone who has been following along and reacting (there's been fanart even?!!? *cries*) This silly thing has been so fun to work on and I can't wait to work on the next part.

I need to figure out how to draw Transformers at this point

I have this comic idea in my brain, where basically a post TF One Optimus sees Earthspark Optimus and Megatron, and he just goes internally “THE WEDDING IS BACK ON”, thinking that this means he and D will get back together (only to be disappointed when he meets the other Optimuses (Optimi I think is actually the correct term by Latin standards?) and realizes that this is the exception)

But alas, I do not yet know how to draw them, and I have a test and then work today, and also a thing I was supposed to do for a video game project I’m in that I haven’t, so I can’t draw my image yet

Which sucks because it’s infinitely less funny when I have to describe the scene verbally rather than just show it to you

If I do end up making it, I’ll delete this and post it instead

doing my reading for my psych class for once and the book was saying most studies were reporting notably higher rates of sexual activity in men and i was trying to figure out who they were having sex with (each other in some cases obviously but that didnt account for everything) Anyway turns out the self-reported rates of sexual activity go down for men when they are/believe they are monitored by a polygraph test. chat the disparity is bc men are lyingggg 😭😭😭😭😭

My favorite TF2 headcannon is that, at any moment, Medic is either a reserved, prudish, no-nonsense, probably homophobic ex-medical professional or the fucking craziest, fruitiest, most unhinged mad scientist you’ve ever seen.

Literally all I want right now is a mdzs anime (donghua?) watching the series fic that reaches the start of the sun shot campaign PURELY so the juniors can see their kind and mischievous trophy husband Wei ying suddenly hair down tits out feeding his torturer his own fingers and proceeding to rack up the highest kill count of pretty much everyone while lwj looks ready to cry. I want them to know who the yiling patriarch is.
