Did I forgot to mention that most of the South Park Fans that think they're accepting and respecting people when they're actually toxic also: Calls anyone a Wendy Simp whenever they talk about or even mention something even remotely positive and/or defensive of Wendy, criticize Trey and Matt for their mistreatment on the girls while portraying the girls in a negative light for daring to date one of their ships, criticize Wendy for doing horrible things even though almost everyone has done their share of horrible things (many of their actions being far worse than what she's done), clearly wants Scott and Sophie to be together despite the fact that they have only one thing in common and Scott was treating Sophie as if she was a prize to be obtained (no hate towards the shippers, just their ship) and even acts like it's Wendy's own fault that Cartman is bullying her even though she has done very little to warrant his constant harassment towards her, which (in my opinion) comes off as victimblaming.

Well said!

Defending Wendy from unwarranted Wendy hate doesn’t make one a “Wendy simp.” It’s basically pointing out facts. And no, she doesn’t abuse Stan! Stop with that shit. Stan isn’t abusive either, but technically he’s more flawed in his relationship with Wendy than she is. He asked Wendy for a photoshopped image of her, and used ChatGPT to text her. If you want a more toxic ship, what about Suddam/Satan? Mr. Garrison/Mr. Slave? Heiman? I’d even mention Clybe, but it’s more tame than the other mentioned ships minus Stendy. Also, the fact that people are bashing Wendy for being an average 10 year old, as well as parading Kyle for being opinionated yet demonising Wendy for being opinionated too, is way beyond me. People need to realise that Kyle and Wendy are similar in terms of personality, as well as their respective relationships with Stan and Cartman.

And in relation to Scott and Sophie, Scott basically put Sophie on a pedestal simply because she has diabetes. However, I thought the way she reached out to him at the end of Basic Cable was cute, so I sorta ship Scottphie despite its flaws.

So on my rotation, I'm working with another student. We have to do topic discussion together, except we're both expected to do our own work, and we're also expected to create handouts for our preceptors or the people teaching us. This whole time I've been feeling like shit that my topic discussion handouts are nowhere as good as hers and that I feel like I don't understand the topic enough by the deadlines. I've been struggling to keep up while she seems to have everything done on time and she even goes beyond sometimes.

I've been trying to give myself more grace with everything considered: 1) Oncology is my weakest topic, and much of my classmates, myself included, wouldn't have passed that class if it weren't for exam curves. I'm taking this rotation to help with gaps in my oncology knowledge, while the other student is taking this rotation because she's interested in the subject. 2) This is the only rotation so far that I've had to make handouts for every Topic Discussion. Previously, I was expected to just study up on the topic, make some notes, and then have an open discussion with my preceptors without needing to present anything. 3) Oncology is a whole new world to me. It's so different from the other fields. These oncology topics are heavy and would normally take me a week to do, but we have about two days to do them (realistically a few hours on each day. I've stayed awake just to get them done, not going to bed. I keep falling asleep while driving). And we have two topic discussions per week.

As frustrated as I am, it's been great working with her otherwise and I've been amazed by her capabilities and knowledge. She's also kind and really cool. I've learned a lot on this rotation so far and I'm getting better as well just...slowly af. I'm happy for her progress though, proud even to see a fellow anime fan do so great. I just feel like I'm constantly in her shadow, while our preceptors are impressed by her and I feel like I don't stand a chance now to get any recommendations for residency.

At the end of my first week, my preceptor (we both have a different main preceptor) was telling me to be more curious. We did a topic discussion with her the following week and she said to the other student, "it's good that you're curious". I want to think she meant it genuinely but looking at how she spoke to one of the residents later in the week, her statement is starting to feel like a stab at me idk. She kinda has mean-girl vibes like the type where you question if there's sarcasm in what she's saying. She's been nice, but we all know niceness ≠ kindness.

Then I found out this week that the student has been using chatGPT for topic discussion. It creates the handout format for her and "gives her ideas on what information to put on the handout". Her biggest task is to find the articles to support the info it gives her and verify the information with the guidelines. A great way to save some time on creating the handout, and using the saved time to actually learn the topic.

So, now I don't feel as bad, but I'm questioning if I should be tossing my moral stance on generative AI aside just to get where I want to be. I've refused to use chatGPT so far because we know all genAI feeds on other people's work without permission. I've even caught it using lines from one of my fan fictions. I don't even want to imagine what it has stolen from my original short stories and poems that I've posted online. I hate it so much but I feel like I don't have a choice if I want to keep up with her.

I felt like I played myself for hyping this movie up.

Yes there will be the million of “analysis” out there on tumblr which are just people picking out select messages out of a very scrambled mess because no one can just sit down and admit this movie wasn’t cohesive in what it was trying to say.

The dialogue rarely felt dialogue, it felt like ChatGPT writing a modern feminist movie. And that’s not to say the things said were shallow; I don’t think they were at all. But it was all how it was executed that made it that at the end of the day.

The scene where Barbie goes up to the girls and she got roasted by Sasha was just so random, because if you thought this woman wasn’t Barbie, and was just an annoying mentally confused woman, then I would just expect a “sorry ‘barbie’, but you aren’t as progressive as you think you are?! And you’re weirding us out leave us the fuck alone!” But nah I guess

People praise the old lady scene, and I’m not gonna go too hard on the people who did, but the scene felt too cheesy for me IM SORRY. Not only did it feel cheesy, it felt like it came out of nowhere. Like if this scene were followed eventually by Barbie learning about what old age was and if she wanted to deal with that or whatever, it would make sense. But nope….never followed up again. It was a random planted in scene. And yes I know the purpose, for this stereotypical Barbie to be intrigued by this type of woman she never met before and then realizing she personally actually finds the woman to be beautiful, despite her not even being an existing g concept in Barbieland. When saying that, yes intention of the scene is very heartwarming, but goddamn it I hate to keep using the word “random” but yes it was. It was weirdly placed.

Im not even gonna go into how they got intersectionality weird, and how I guess white women do not know that no, men of color do not hold more power than them, and yes it was funny to see a black Ken be willing to be so eager to be treated as a half assed side piece by a white Barbie when I know they were weirdly trying to have an interracial pair because “progressiveness” and what not. In that regard, I call this “Taylor Swift feminism”.

But I know the movie did not have the time nor the effort to delve into that. And I’m kinda playing myself here since it was obvious they were going to be a racially diverse group of Kens, and they were all to be seen as “just ken”, but I didn’t expect a lot of what they were going to do with that.

Time for the opinion I’m not sure whether is unpopular or popular, but that I feel a lot of people will side eye me for: the plot or Ken going to the real world and back was way more interesting than Barbie going so. Don’t get me wrong, I actually liked the parts where barbie goes back home to see the mess of what it became, and to see how her and the rest of the women there were going to fix it. Also found it interesting during those segments, Barbie was going through the most existential crisis.

That being said, in regards to whose arc with “going into the real world” was better, I’m going to have to say Ken’s. Not only was it interesting, it was downright hilarious. But of course, it wouldn’t worked as well if the idea of Barbie coming along wasn’t a thing, but that idea wasn’t necessarily handled all that well or was even that exciting.

All in all, I thought it was alright.

HEY HEY!! YO CAKE IS BACK

And I would like to request Elijah with a supportive s/o! Preferably male reader but it doesn't matter that much! Anything is fine🤩🤩

- 🍰nom

Extra note: Sending you requests if no one is >:))♡♡♡

MA CAKE, MA 🍰NOM, WHAT'S UP!?!??!?!

Also not you exposing me with that extra note bro...ANYWAYS- ...also let's pretend that you have bunnies.

BUT FINALLY; AN ELIJAH REQUEST!!!!! I'M SORRY BUT HE'S MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE AND I THINK HE'S JUST SO BABYGIRL!

warnings: fluff, also jealousy on your part, and spoilers

This fanfic is from the Webtoon: The Tomato Can, please check it out!

---

Elijah with a supportive male s/o!

How you two met:

When I tell you this man was nervous to approach you when he saw you for the first time-

You two met in college, where you were putting posters regarding the environment (the one where Elijah wore that blue hoodie), he asked if he could join

you were thrilled

you guys became bros, and then ended up being together (I'll write a fic abt this), you also came to terms of your boyfriend's reasons to fall asleep through some lessons

your boi's a fighter, come to terms with this

when he first took you to his training place, in his unclean van, you were nervous

'Will the people there be okay? Elijah is okay...how will the coaches be?!', yeah, your mind was filled with self-doubt

When you met the two men who introduced themselves as his coaches, you did your best to appear polite and sweet

but please my love...

YOU ARE ALREADY SWEET AND POLITE

anyways-

"So, you must be ____! Elijah has told us a lot about you!"

"Yeah, mostly about how he'd love to hold you close to his chest and give you all the smooches in the world-"

Damn, they really had to spill his secrets, but you only blushed

"AHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHA, please stop talking! Uh, ____! W-we haven't checked the changing rooms yet!"

"Don't do anything funny there!"

"You guys need con-"

"GOODBYEEEE!!!", cue to Elijah dragging you away from these two

"Uh...they seemed nice..!", you only said as your heart raced

Elijah groaned in response before apologizing for their behavior

Back to before he had to leave to this reality show:

"You sure you don't want to come with me?"

"You asked Mr. Jericho multiple times already, Elijah."

"Still..."

"I also have my bunnies."

"...dammit."

safe to say, when it didn't look like you were supporting him before (you were, but in private) you were definitely supporting him now

you watched every single game of his, commented, and also asked either the coaches of chatgpt what the movements were.

now, as you're watching him fight Ethan, you're shocked

you never thought that Elijah could do that, or how Ethan just straight up carried Elijah

nevertheless, you cheered very loudly when Elijah won against Ethan

You also are very fond of Kublai (although he gives you the creeps a little), who seems to have taken Elijah under his wings, as he protected your boyfriend from Zach and Ethan who were bullying him before the fight

yeah, you pretty much wanted to rip their heads off

you also didn't like it when Elijah told you that JJ cut off half of his bonus for sponsoring the organization you two worked for

damn you hated that man so much-

but still, you were happy that he won his first match

although he has to fight every other person he gets matched up against-

You two occasionally talk when it's allowed and you also post pictures of your bunnies to him

and you tell him about your day, he does the same

but when he told you that there was a girl who gave him a nice smelling towel (the latest episode where there is this blushing girl)

you saw red

"Who?"

"I dunno, but the towel smelled really nice! Kinda like vanilla, but also like a rose...I dunno, but it for sure smelled good!"

Sorry but can't stand that girl sorry not sorry

"Oh..." "You okay?" "Yeah I'm fine, it's just...was she cute?" "...are you jealous?"

you took a moment not to loose your temper to Elijah, so you just said yes

"How could I not? You're a few thousand miles away, and I am not there with you..."

"You know that you're my boyfriend, right? I have no business with other people trying to claim your spot. You're the only one for me, alright?"

"Yes. Thank you. I...feel much better now."

and you really did. You were glad that Elijah told you this, as in him reassuring you.

gosh you loved that man so much-

(and I do too-)

---

And we'll stop here! 1. Because I have no thoughts anymore, 2. because I really don't want to spoil any more.

please send in requests!

I think this was rather short, but I hope it was okay!

Read you in the next post!

im not as passionate abt this as I was this morning because I haven't had the chance to go on tumblr since it all happened but ughh ive been having fun in copenhagen w the history society and came to the realization that the reason I haven't enjoyed the hanging out aspects of any of the other trips I've been on here isn't because I'm in a group. it's because I dislike almost all the people I was friendly with. i knew I couldn't stand one of them (more on her later) but I just realized that the one of them who I often worried was mildly annoyed with me possibly actively dislikes me (though maybe I was just tired) and the other one I really just don't have a lot in common with and the other one I already knew + im fine with. but basically so next weekend we're going to edinburgh over the long weekend. and this morning I open whatsapp to a text from the one I can't stand where she said she used chatgpt to find some ideas for what to do there. this sort of shocked me to my core and I wrote a message back that maybe was a little rude like why in the world would you let that thing make decisions for you etc etc it isn't really acceptable for anything though I get where people are coming from when they use it for a cover letter under no circumstances should you use it for anything else, it just makes stuff up, etc, etc. and she said well didn't you read it? and I said I didnt need to when I can look up what real people who live in edinburgh say is good to do (I was like. shaking mad at this point...didn't get enough sleep last night). and then the other girl who I think doesn't really like me came to her defense and said chatgpt was her best friend (with a tangent mentioning how chatgpt could write finnegans wake but james joyce couldn't write fanfic abt her and her friends (she's a huge joyce fan and I think that is terribly insulting to his memory though I've never read any of his work)) and then the one I already knew said normally she's a chatgpt hater but she respects it for lists and travel ideas. and I got on the train and realized that wow. i just actually hate spending time with all of them. i just can't stand it. so . fingers crossed I can break off from the group a few times while we're there (perhaps even for a while day...) because if belfast is any indication I think I'll actually go crazy if I have to spend 4 days talking to them. like I think 4 days of talking to no one would be better rn. am I just cranky and feeling mean? possibly. but I was really really mad this morning & just needed to get it out.
