#high school is hell

[mxmorbidmidnight]

between bullying, disability burnout, constant accidents (ie, being accidentally body slammed by almost full grown men), excessive stress, more bullying, horrific and large scale junk food consumption during exam seasons and overall shit fuckery, School is managing to single handedly SLAUGHTER my health. god someone send healing potions. the weakness in my dragon hide is EDUCATIOn. GOOD LORD!

It is awlful to be a teenager in 2023.

I feel like it's not talked about enough how it is being a teenager in this new post pandemic era.

I stopped being a child and became a teenager during Covid-19 and I can guarantee you it was one of the most awful times to start experiencing this whole new thing in such a way.

Of course it's always been horrible being a teen, but I think that this whole new technological era and how our mental health was altered by the pandemic influences a lot on how people my age see the world and the whole teen experience itself now.

This whole generation is now way more conscious about everything that's constantly happening in the world every day. Nietzsche once said that knowledge can be man's worst nightmare, because the more self conscious we become the more depressed we start to feel every new day that comes by.

We saw technology develop and "grow up" at the same time as we did, right in front of our eyes and at our fingertips, and I think that's gen-z's biggest curse.

Growing up I've always had this idea that there was this non-existent audience right there.

Even now I can always catch myself talking to no one as if I was in a YouTube video, and I think it is one of the most uncanny things that we collectively do as a generation.

We have this false idea that we're constantly being watched and judged, but at the same time we have this constant need to be heard and seen, and it becomes an unhealthy loop.

As Bo Burnham said, the economy of being young is attention. Talking for myself, I am in fact not bullied as much as I am ignored, and to not be seen is such a hell to be through in 2023. In Burnham's words: We feel like if our lives aren't viewed, we're not real, and if we're not seen we just don't exist.

Of course we prefer to be on our phones all the time, the world we live in is pretty shit.

And then we have this whole digital space where we can have our own personal experiences, with everything we enjoy constantly being right there all the time.

The real world becomes a stage for this digital performance, we adopt some sort of characters or personas. Online, I have the friends I was never able to make in the real world. I have the confidence to talk about everything I want to at any time I feel like it.

We have to choose every night between Infinity or Oblivion, as Burnham said, and I honestly couldn't put it into better words to describe it.

It's such a burden to be trought at such a young age and I sometimes just simply wish I could go through all of this teen hell thing 10 years ago, when the world wasn't as fucked up as it is now, when internet was way more healthy and people somehow still cared a little for each other.

My school has a bathroom system with those papers that have individual things you have your teacher fill out and you only get a certain amount each quarter, and today a kid very calmly told my teacher he had to throw up and my teacher told him he didn't need to get his paper, juts go to the bathroom, and if the bathroom monitor asks just tell them you have to throw up, so he went but he got fucking sent back and he didn't have his paper so my teacher had to go down there and tell the bathroom monitor that he had to let the guy in because he was literally about to throw up.

Why are fandom discord servers some of the most stress inducing places in the world like why is it when you post anything into any chat it feels like either a) you're purposely being ignored or b) you've pissed someone off just by speaking. And it's such a pain in the dick because if you want any sort of help with anything or want to be even a little bit apart of a community you have to be in these servers. While the whole time it feels like that one meme picture of all the girls sneering at the camera because you dared show your face in there

˙ ✩°˖ ✈️☃️ triple silly / caleb x reader x zayne

synopsis; three high school friends eating apple flavored popsicles on the way home. surely, nothing too funny about that.. unless?

🍎 pomme's notes - an elaboration on this post from earlier! wrote this as a platonic fic, but interpret however you'd like!

⋆ 900 words / fluff / fem reader / 2nd person

it was stupidly hot today.

walking back home from school with zayne and caleb, you could feel yourself slowly melt under the warm weather — and judging from the sweat on zayne's forehead and caleb's flushed cheeks, you weren't the only one who thought so. panting, you stop in your tracks and call out to the two boys.

"i can't do this anymore. let's get popsicles from the convenience store."

the store was on your way home, and you could all get some (much needed) refreshments while replenishing your strength under the A/C. so with a nod, the three of you went to grab popsicles.

"pips come on, you know the apple one is my favorite — that was the last one! are you gonna let me suffer in this weather with no apple flavored ice cream?"

"that's too bad caleb, because last i checked, you also ate strawberry flavored stuff! my strawberry ice cream sandwich was gone when i got home yesterday and it sure as hell wasn't grandma!"

zayne smiled in amusement, wiping his face with a cloth as the two of you bickered. being a few grades ahead, he'd always have some trouble fitting in with his peers, and he didn't have many friends in his class. it was a stroke of luck when caleb saw him reading an anatomy book and asked about it — instead of the usual nerd comments zayne heard often, he was met with a curious purple gaze full of interest.

he found out that caleb was aiming to be a pilot and the two of them ended up hanging out often, studying and catching up together. eventually, he got to know who you were too ("you have to meet pipsqueak. she's really nice and kind but don't tell her i said that! that's totally against bro code and she'll annoy me forever."), and fast enough, the three of you were inseparable.

"zayne, tell him off! he's being insufferable!!"

your voice dragged him away from his thoughts, and he shook his head with a smile on his face, all while talking to the cashier.

"three apple flavored ice pops, please."

when the clerk handed him his change and the ice creams, zayne headed towards you and caleb. somehow, still bickering — but this time, the topic shifted from stolen ice cream sandwiches to stolen chips bag. it was the usual, and zayne wouldn't trade away the comfort he found in how casually you two treated him for anything in the world.

"zayne, she stole my chips last week! isn't it just cosmic justice if i steal her ice cream sandwich back?? come on, back me up here — wait, three apple popsicles? my man."

wrapping an arm around zayne's shoulders, caleb beamed. he opened his mouth expectantly when zayne handed him a frozen treat, and with a chuckle, zayne placed it up to the brunette's lips. you stomped your foot jokingly, a pout on your lips before you spoke.

"how come zayne feeds you but never me? life is so unfair."

"heh, that's bro code, pips. that and zayne can't even see you from all the way down there.. maybe if you grow a bit more, he'll consider it."

watching you glare at caleb with a soft chuckle, zayne hands you a popsicle and nods towards the door, encouraging you all to finally get back on the way home.

and it was just another summer afternoon, zayne observing silently as caleb picked at your height, and you tried to kick him in the shin. well, that was until you succeeded in your attempt, and caleb tripped forward, making his popsicle float with his evol, while he fell in a ridiculous pushup position. snickering at him, you don't notice zayne placing a hand over his mouth and trying his best to hold back laughter, not until you turn towards the older male.

"he's so lame — zayne? wait. are you laughing??"

somehow, your question was the thing that pushed zayne to the edge as he erupted in boyish laughter — a sound neither you nor caleb had heard before, a sound neither of you managed to pull out of him. caleb's ears reddened, though not without a smile growing on his face and a fake exasperated voice.

"come on, it was not that funny."

you quickly pushed caleb back down, trying to make zayne laugh more. yelping as he falls down again, the sound makes you laugh, thus making zayne laugh even harder — clutching his stomach at how silly the situation unfolding was.

caleb, embarrassed but in awe at how his usually serious friend was laughing, also started laughing, and you all made quick eye contact between yourselves. that didn't do much to re-establish a serious atmosphere, only encouraging the laughter to grow louder — until all that was heard was "it hurts, my stomach hurts, i can't breathe" from all three of you.

wiping a stray tear from your eye, you think to yourself that maybe you ought to trip caleb more often if that was the outcome.

🍎 pomme's final notes - please infold give us zaynecaleb as besties im begging i want to see them being bros together i want my bromance NOWWW

I'm LITERALLY addicted to Bromance Kdramas that give off that bl vibe and I think I've finished most of them

I've searched for other Kdramas but couldn't find anything I feel like I'll CRY I'll settle for crumbs as long as it's good one PLS

[chloesimaginationthings]

I started following you in middle school because jojo is my special interest, and now you're the reason I'm fixated on fnaf in highschool

I think you're funny and I like your art style :D

Anyway, I think they'd be friends

THIS IS SOOO CUTE!! THEY WOULD BE!

Amidst all the stuff going on with Mappa studios, I want to shout out all the animators on staff. They work far too hard, often long and impossible hours, with very little appreciation. Not just for Jujutsu Kaisen, all of Mappa's productions -Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, Chainsaw Man, Hell's Paradise, etc. I hope that the animation staff gets the appreciation they deserve, all roughly 360 people on staff- along with more reasonable treatment. I'm completely fine with waiting a bit longer for episodes if the staff making them are treated like actual human beings.
