god why am i so fucking stupid
#had a B going into the last diffeq exam and only needed a 68 to keep that B#studied all night and knew how to answer two of the questions (worth 70 points total on the exam)#fist question went great no problems there#but on the second question god it was a fuckin disaster#i knew the process and everything#i could do the calculations#i could do the plots#but i made the most stupid algebra mistake IMAGINABLE on the algebra portion of the question#so we were given two equations and needed to find the steady states#no big deal right? just set them equal to zero and solve right? WRONG BIG FUCKING DEAL#my dumbass being the sleep deprived idiot i am FORGOT TO COMPARE THE TWO NUMBERS#so instead of going āoh this equation gave me x and y now to plug into the other equation to find the other x and y values!ā#my DUMBASS was like āoh this one is x=1 for all real numbers!ā#realized as soon as i left the exam hall and just had to lie in bed for an hour or two sobbing#because i did the work#i knew the process#i should have been able to get that 68#but no i blew it all. on fucking algebra#like i wouldn't be this pissed if i fucked up a differential equation because its still new to me and differential equations are confusing#but nope#i screwed up basic algebra#something ive literally been doing since fucking elementary school#fuck everything

Did you think I was done? Ahahahaha no, I have more.
Because chapter 70 of MOMU gave me the very dynamic between them that I missed so much, I just blacked out and started drawing uncontrollably lmao
Also. ALSO. I noticed a while ago that Prowl has the habit of..likeā¦constantly frowning. So. I did a bit of research and made this graph.
In 70 chapters, Prowl frowns rougly 104 times. And the intensity of this gesture is very clearly correlated with the development of his relationship with Jazz, as you can see ahahahahah It might be wrong tho donāt take me seriously Iām not good with graphs
#maccadam#transformers#prowl#jazz#jazzprowl#fic fanart#momu fanart#I just#mmmmm#For the whole fic Prowl had to think twice about everything Jazz says#every information could end up being wrong#sometimes even without Jazz realising it#so when Prowl says#heās trusting Jazz. itās.#also it totally wasnāt me googling ābelieving and trusting nuance difference in englishā#the moment I realised the difference I think my brain started rollercoaster loops#he canāt believe him but he found enough faith to trust him#while. YES. For the whole story Jazz couldnāt fucking be believed#list e n#Jazz did a lot of things for Prowl#fucktons of big and small gestures to show that yes he likes loves and appreciates Prowl#Iām so happy Prowl is returning this energy#like#remember that scene a while back when Jazz kissed Prowl? Cool cool okay. Did Prowl kiss him? nope. It was one sided gestures#*gesture. That kiss didnāt make me feel like itās truly something precious because Jazz started it but Prowl didnāt do quite the same#but thisš. This feels so much more important for me. Because Prowl#who is for the whole story was mister I calculate every chance of possible betrayal. Prowl whos entire personality is to trust nobody#Prowl goes. Fuck that I trust you. You feel me?#it wouldnāt be the same if he said I love you. Because love is very much something you donāt have a lot of control over.#but to trust someone? Itās a choice Prowl had to consciously make. You see what I mean? I love it. oh fuck I ran out of tags..

cullen's crush on f amell/surana drives me insane. is he the first templar to have taken interest in you? have you been dealing with this your entire life? how long has this been going on? how long did it take you to notice the extra pair of eyes on you in the hallway? does he know you or does he just think you're pretty? did he mean it when he said he'd kill you? do you believe him? do you find yourself alone in corridors with him often? is it a coincidence? is he one of the good ones? is he stronger than you? whose side will the knight commander take if you have to defend yourself? is it worth it? how many of your friends have survived a situation like this? how many haven't? what are your odds? are you feeling lucky? are you sure?
#genuinely horrifying to think about being in that situation. having been in Situations.#i think his crush is as innocent as it could be in the circumstances. he's young and a pretty girl his age caught his eye#but imagine that sickening fear of realising youve been singled out by a templar. not knowing what's going through his head#a lot of this is why matilda is the way that she is with relationships lol. ghosting leliana wasn't a nice thing to do but like. she had to#when your entire life has just been calculating the odds of the person who's interested in you killing you. you cant just drop that#they dont have cbt in thedas! and if they did matilda wouldn't do it and if she DID it wouldn't work on her

Cross-stitch really does make you reconsider whether or not you understand basic maths. Like yeah, I know the difference between 4 and 5, definitely. Ignore me as I undo several stitches.
#kai rambles#cross stitch#fiber crafts#fiber art#i had so many stitches done based on the assumption that id correctly counted to four#i just undid an hours worth of work#because i counted wrong#in school my friends used to test whether or not i could do a sum in my head quicker than someone could on a calculator#and i regularly could#i used to do rolling averages in my head without a calculator and without writing any numbers down#but counting to FOUR?????#nope#i cant do that apparently

was drunk at my friend's place yesterday and her bf was given some throwing knives, played around for a bit and i still got it š§ that was my last push to get back into knife throwing, haven't been into it since i was 17/18 lol. i ordered these ą«® į“ļ»į“į
edit: if ur here from my top posts you can see me throw them here!
#throwing knives is so fun...#i do the no spin technique and he was tryna see if i was as accurate by having me move back and he was like ur scary š#āyou're so accurate and u don't have to calculate the distance for the spin to make it stickā u can just go straight for it frm anywhereā#i sure can buddy. I'm gonna get even better at it thanks šš¾#briefly considered a foot long throwing spike but feel like i cannot be given that kind of destructive power#i am going to obliterate something that is an outdoors toy š#i can make it stick most of the time but we drew little targets and pictures on a board and i could hit the smaller ones w mixed results#i wanna hit bullseye šÆ#my favorite flexes from last night were the times where Id throw the second knife in the same spot as the first n knock the old one down š

saying this as respectfully as possible but. Do not put fandom content creators on a pedestal. We are also just fans contributing to a community just as you are. We have boundary on our own work and thatās it. What I say is not and should not be considered sth the whole fandom should listen to. Iām just a normal ass person ranting about things on my blog. If it does not have a fandom tag for others to engage in, do not make it out to be me trying to start fights or addressing the whole community. Because itās not.
Iāve said it before and I will say it again, my art, my lore talk, is biased. Iāve never tried to hide that I view Marika a certain way and will always develop my theory following that base assumption.
Aside from translation stuffs and pointing out in-game items, everything else I say you can look at it, agree or disagree, and move on to form your own opinions. Just because I draw stuffs doesnāt mean you get to saddle me with responsibilities about managing fandom expectations. What the hell? Iām a fan artist, Iām the last person who you should look at for āleaderismā (?) WHAT?
I can and will be a hater in my own space, like I know sometimes other artists will just post their stuffs and not engage too heavily with fandom, and for a while I did try to do that here (because Iām already a dramatic ass on twitter), thatās just not me though.
You will get art and you will get my opinions as well.
#asking ppl to [celebrate different takes] is... WHAT?#different takes as in well I think she likes apples and you think she likes grapes. yeah thatās some fun discussion to be have#but different takes as in the fundamental of a characterās drive and personality??? NO#letās put that down very clear here#I can still read fics where Marika is cold and calculate and manipulative as long as I can see thereāre layers to it and the author#set it up in a way that I can see they got her backstory and build those layers based on that#and then there are ppl who literally only portray her as omg evil girlboss 101 letās blame everything on this cardboard character#then I click back.#and there r ppl who might not vibe with how i portray her and they can ignore me. THAT'S OK TOO. we r in our own space.#itās as simple as that!#ever since the dlc is out i literally could see the amount of ppl blocking me go up and im just āokā because i do go around muting ppl too.#that's normal fandom space managing experience. pls do that#lore discussion is for ppl to engage in so u say ur piece i say mine and we can continue or not depending on situation#but FANWORK? leave each other alone or be a hater in ur own space ok?#personal#also where are these ppl who have been defending Marika at... because if u exclude me#and some others i can count on one hand. where are these ppl?#ppl saying headass stuffs about the HS aren't even Marika fans or engage too much in fandom to begin with#meanwhile u can't even find one youtube lore essay that says anything good about her#ppl are even trying to give Messmer's mother position to GEQ for no goddamn reason#like where is this overwhelming support for Marika at cuz as the active Marika stan around im not seeing it

Horrible thing to say but I think there's a real chance Jiang Yanli was both of her parents' least favorite child and knew it and just kinda. Had to go on with her life knowing that.
#mdzs#jiang yanli#yunmeng siblings#madam yu's favorite kid is jc. she doesn't. um. SHOW it in a very affirming way but he's clearly the one she's emotionally most invested in#jfm's favorite kid is wwx. is he even one of his kids? doesn't matter. he's the favorite#(madam yu does NOT see wwx as her child so he doesn't factor into the calculation for her.)#i think jfm's neglect of jc is talked about. mostly because the both jc and wwx are clearly aware of it and so it's mentioned in novel#but um... DO we see either of yanli's parents give much a shit about her? ever?#jfm doesn't even ask if she WANTS her engagement dissolved before doing so#also the reason stated by other characters for jfm not liking jc is that he's madam yu's child. you know who is ALSO madam yu's child?#i think jfm may find jc.. harder to get along with. but i also think whatever discomfort from his marriage he projects onto his kids#it also extends to yanli. it's just that he's not constantly REMINDED of yanli like he is jc#(because madam yu keeps yelling about it)#and so he just... doesn't think about her much at all#madam yu meanwhile treats yanli with this air of disappointment. she seems to resent that she's 'weak' and gentle and quiet#and that she cares so little about status so as to treat wwx like her little brother#i think yanli is just fundamenally so clearly... not the child either of her parents wanted. and it shows.#i'm slightly peeved fandom doesn't talk about this as much as they talk about the effects the jiang parents had on the two boys.#but to be fair to fandom the book doesn't either#which is probaly just danmei-typical misogyny. but to give a slightly more watsonian reason#i think the yunmeng bros are genuinely unaware of this. yanli is PERFECT how could her parents not love her?#(of course they notice something like zixuan's initial dislike of her but that's blatant.)#(vs the attitude of the jiang parents towards their daughter which seems to be mostly... disinterest and disappointment)

Out of everyone in the roleswap AUs (including non-travellers), who would get out of the timeloop the fastest/slowest?
For the Travelers, T!Odile would be in the loops the longest and T!Bonnie would get out the fastest For the non travelers, however? *points to Housemaiden!Isabeau* He'd be in there the longest on account of needing to spend at least the first 50-70 loops processing all the emotions he's been refusing to address since the beginning of his journey And the winner for getting out of the timeloops in the shortest amount of time possible *points to Fighter!Siffrin* them!
#altho one could argue Fighter!Bonnie would also get out of a timeloop situation hilariously quickly#but I digress and I am not about to spend the next 24 hours trying to calculate this kind of stuff! somebody else can do that for me XD#ISAT Role!Swap AU

When Iām writing my Modern AU but then try to figure out and calculate how the life I gave the Batch is financially possible:
#Iāll be writing#and then Iāll be like wait how do they own a house in the suburbs in this economy?#so then Iāll be like ok 99 was the homeowner so maybe he already paid it off and now they only worry about property tax and bills#but it doesnāt stop there#now Iām looking up the prices of homes in the 80s#then I start looking up details on VA loans#then Iām calculating ok this sibling has this job so this would be what they make in a year after taxes#then I add them up#but wait#Crosshair and tech are in college how are they affording that?#then I remember the GI bill#but then Iām like ok but what if they go on vacation?#so then Iām like ok they give off the vibes that they would choose to drive everywhere they could within reason#BUT THEN Iām like hold up what if they brought Omega to Disney World#so now Iām looking at ticket hotel and airfare costs#and seeing what military and veterans discounts are#meanwhile this fic hasnāt even been fully written Iām just brainstorming and writing all these details in a brainstorming document#Iāll apply suspension of disbelief and ādonāt worry about itā to other things like face tattoos in the suburbs and timeline and ages#but for the financial aspect Iām like āhow can I make this as true to reality as possibleā?#star wars tbb#star wars the bad batch#the bad batch#bad batch modern au#sw bad batch

I went to my first fiber festival this past weekend! Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival; if I'm still in this state come June next year, I'll probably be back and would love to meet anybody else there. Socializing/hanging out/talking to people without feeling like I was obstructing Real Customers was the one thing I missed, though I didn't really get to any of the free lectures so maybe that's where I could've met some people. Since it was an unknown situation with a lot of people and nearly an hour drive each way, I strategized to make sure I'd go:
First day, I signed up for a couple volunteer shifts. Absolutely a recommended strategy.
Got to be helpful!
They happened to have goodie bags, to help me justify the gas and time (I now have a nice tape measure to replace the one that's been vacationing with a missing sewing kit for a couple years and a lasercut wood two-inch gauge window that might help me with consistency versus my suboptimal practice of just trying to knit perfect squares when swatching in pattern)
I got to learn things about the layout and schedule I wouldn't know to ask when answering questions and acting as a gofer -- especially true working two different locations
And of course, some people were pretty much guaranteed to be happy to see me!
Second day, I signed up for a workshop in the morning so I'd be there and able to shop for anything I needed at the end. Ombre yarn dyeing was the class! It's acid dyes, something I'm several years off from wanting to get into enough to commit to dedicated cookware, full pots of dye powder, etc. The room with the workshop was a barn that had plenty of outlets--but they did not represent plenty of breakers. So there weren't quite enough functional heating elements for the class to have sufficiently cooked our yarn before leaving, and I did need to risk a giant stock pot at home for three batches of four jars, almost-simmering in a water bath for thirty minutes each, of the yarn that hadn't proven it was done (all but the two palest greens). I was a little worried the delay/drawn out heat situation would affect the results but if it did it wasn't much; I got pretty much exactly what I was hoping for with my two color gradient and the single is great too!
The single dye gradient is the color Moss, which did some interesting things with the red portion separating out once they were heated. Every skein has redder blotches, so I'm not bothered about any inconsistency -- if anything it'll help my finished product camouflage stains. Though it was definitely a surprise for me and the other Moss user in the class when our first yarn to have exhausted the dye was the complementary color to what it went in as.
The two color gradient used Rhodamine Red on one end, which was one end of one of our instructor's samples where she chose a cool-green for the other end to show how multi-component dyes mix less predictably than most paint. (It was kinda like shading with markers where you can still see washes of the pink and green in what you squint at and call a grey-brown.) The other end was Cantaloupe, which was one of the maybe three colors she didn't have a sample cut of yarn for. But she described it as the flesh of a perfect ripe cantaloupe and obviously I had to see that, and it sounded like it would be fairly guaranteed to combine nicely with the magenta while being just enough around a bend in the color wheel to be interesting--warm orange versus cool pink. As I said, it turned out pretty much exactly as I was picturing. Not anticipated was how much the jars looked like they were full of some delicious dragonfruit-mango beverage. Were I still a barista I'd be trying to recreate this for my shift drink.
Image descriptions under the cut.
[ID: Five images following fourteen small skeins of sock yarn dyed in individual glass jars, in two gradients. One gradient is six skeins from a medium forest green through a pale creamy pink, the other is eight skeins from a vibrant yellow orange through an even more vibrant magenta. The first photo is inside under fluorescent lights, showing the 32oz glass canning jars with metal lids and rings, full of dye and yarn on a table at the end of the class in which they were filled and heated for a short time.
The next two images are animated gifs. The first gif is two frames showing the finished dye jars sitting in grass, with their yarn and with it removed. The green gradient left only transparent blue color in its jars, and most of the pink to orange gradient's water looks more orange without its yarn, aside from the third and fourth jars from the orange end, which shade toward a neon lilac with the peachy pink yarn removed. The second gif is a view of the inside of the bright green wash bucket, with just the pink-orange yarn in it, then all of them mixed up, all as they were after a soak with the rust-brown water, in the first rinse, and that rinse water alone showing its transparent but still brown tint.
The last two photos show the gradients lined up along a weathered wooden bench on the side of a deck. The first photo has the wet piles of yarn bundled in front of each of their respective jars with remaining dye. The final photo has the clean, dry yarn wound into center-pull balls and still vibrant in the direct sunlight. End ID]

Was thinking about having a second snarky m-mancer:
M: she just wants to see me naked
MC: my guy, I don't even wanna see you clothed
#ik this is stupid but#i wish we could be mean to M more explicitly#like actually be the bane of their existence#until they fall head over heels in love and start doing nice things out of instinct#and mc is just that meme about all those calculations going on in their head#f ofc is recording every fight bcs this is ENTERTAINMENT#both get the work equivalent of detention#pfffff#the wayhaven chronicles#twc m#twc

WTA TOP 10 POINTS TO DEFEND 2025
[LINK TO ATP]
Some notes:
Swing names are generalized based on the major events of that time period. For example, the North American Hard Court swing (NAHC) also includes Palermo in the point total.
Every player besides KrejÄĆkovĆ” dropped at least one result. I calculated all points by hand and used the official ranking point totals to work backwards (i.e. if my total is 50 points higher than the official total, then I find the result they achieved that was worth 50 points and nullify that result). In some instances there were multiple tournaments with the same amount of points earned that could have been dropped. In those cases, I nullified the result which contributed less to its respective swing (e.g. subtracted Stuttgart rather than Berlin from Zheng's point total because she earned less points during the grass swing).
#wta tennis#anyways iganation we r cooked in spring oh my god..........#will probably do one for the atp as well but not soon bc i have finals#i did all the calculations for this a while ago i just never got around to turning it into a chart#i was sort of indecisive about how i wanted to do it#originally i was gonna do like a density/heat map so you could see for each player on a timeline where the points were coming from#but i gave up after a bit. might return to it bc i think it would be a good visual

never underestimate the power of the right motivation. i hated coding in school but have now spent hours learning it for 1) downloading illegal sims packs and 2) calculating ao3 wrapped from my fic history
#it has been FOUR HOURS. i didnāt even noticeš#i do not recommend. it is very time consuming.#but i did learn that buddie makes up 20% of the fics i have read Ever!#and iām not done calculating word count so far bc google sheets is a bitch but. rn weāre ar 12 mil.#š#maybe i could have been an engineer after all (lie)

I have things I should be working on but I'm too busy wondering what a Low or High Kochanski would be like
#Does anyone know if there are any fics/posts about this concept? I probably just haven't run into them#Especially enamored by the idea of Low Kochanski. What would she be like?#Since- as established in The Inquisitor a few episodes beforehand- conceptions of morality/worth/etc. are emphasized as being subjective#that's how I've always approached the Lows: as manifestations of what *the characters* feared was the worst about themselves#shaped by social/cultural expectations#(that's probably why though I understand some people's discomfort towards the stereotypes Low Rimmer exhibits#I was less critical towards it because it says more about Rimmer's psyche than anything)#What would Kochanski see as the worst in herself?#I keep thinking about the tags someone left on the post about Kochanski perhaps feeling guilty about how her Dave changed for her#That mentioned the possibility of her going so far as to change Lister's peogram to align to her personality and her needs#I personally don't think she would do that. But! That doesn't mean that she hasn't thought about it. Maybe at some point in the beginning#So I'm leaning this manipulative Machiavellian sort of Low Kochanski. One that's coldly efficient and calculating#Which I think would suit the others well#The Lows of The Boys are sadistic animalistic primal#There's something chaotic to their immorality#I think Low Kochanski could stand in contrast to that. A member of the Low crew that is not driven by emotion. One that is ordered#And I think that would make her threatening in a different way#Anyways that's just my opinion :) Curious to hear what others think!#Red Dwarf#Kristine Kochanski#Original Post
