[nerdyenby]

Purple time :D I’m watching Oli

The depression is simply no match for an oli mcc vod

Ain’t oli like… 29? That’s not old king *looks it up* 28!! Dude, chill /aff

This team hasn’t had a single call, iconic

Ah yes, young, spunky, and full of beans, that’s my streamer

Sniff and Oli interactions are all I’ve ever needed in life

Charles bringing Sniff drugs, as they should

Harvey is so chaotic oh my gosh

“I don’t think I’ve heard your voice before” this can only go well guys

I thought Sniff was gonna make an ace joke, but nah, they’re just self-deprecating

Sniff and Oli 😭😭😭

“Harvey, I really feel like you don’t love this family right now”

This team is not chill, Pete is chill, everyone else is on a backpack leash

Harvey is such a mess lmao

Rocket Spleef

“Meltdown doesn’t like me” “Ok well, have you tried talking to her nicely?” “… I’ll try that next time” I love them

“Now that I’m reflecting, maybe I’m the problem” Pete my beloved

The team synergy!!

“We all did great!!” “Yes, and I was also there as well” and then Sniff hyping up Oli <333

I love this team, they’re all just saying words, it’s great :D

“I’m not a fan” “I’m not a fan, I’m an entire conditioner” thank you TapL Harvey :))

Harvey sounding so genuine when he said he was proud of Sniff ended me

The absolute power of Pete’s “That was like the fastest round ever, where’d everyone go?”

Pete and Harvey’s shock(?) when Sniff gets faux-emotional over being listened to is so

Grid Runners

Sniff on its igl arc :D

They’re crushing it!!!

Even struggling they’re doing such a good job keeping morale up

They’re genuinely laughing it off so well I love them <3333

They killed uppies!!!!

Grid felt so short that time it’s not even fair

I love their energy so much, it’s everything

Battle Box

It’s not that old, the only time it was played was in mcc26 (i think, it could’ve been 25 tbh)

This map is so wild

They’re not doing amazing but I’m having a great time

The guilty silence when they found out Callum dced and then goodnaturedly boasting when they found out he died first

THAT WAS SO CLOSEEEE

Sands of Time

Sniff and Oli going back and forth offering sandkeeper to each other can be something so dear

“Don’t be wrong again, okay?” “Okay 😭”

Oh that was a bit rough

“The captains aren’t captaining right now” Sniff 😭😭😭

WHO is honk mimimi-ing in my mcc?? /lh

THATS SO SCUFFED OH MY LORD ;-; /nm

“I’m a hard working sand gatherer and the billionaires up just taking time away, I’m sick of this!!” “Well personally — as the ceo of sand — I feel like you should’ve known that and should’ve just tried harder” this team’s chemistry is so!!!!

Ace Race

I love this team so much you guys ;-;

The music is so loud oh my gosh

The amongus remix 😭😭😭

“If you wanna blame the map, you’re gonna have to go through me” so true Pete!!

“What would be the funniest ending?” Harvey asking the right questions!!

“Toad in the hole in the wall” made me legitimately cackle

Parkour Warrior

“That’s how you get a UTI and then you can get a kidney infection and then you can get sepsis and then you can die” “AHH!!” “Yeah, that could happen” “But if I get top three in parkour warrior, like, does it matter?” they’re everything to me

“Oh I hope I don’t throw” “You won’t” “Well, I might. You don’t know me, you don’t know what I could do. I could throw really easily, actually, I’ll do it right now” “I do know you” *romantic music starts playing* THEM!!

I quite enjoy that they’re just chilling in vc together

WHY ARE PETE AND HARVEY BRITISH 😭😭😭

“I love pressing space bar” “Space bar is one of my favorite bars” “That’s right, you know what else is a nice bar? M&M” ah yes, thanks harvey

Who let these iTMG stand into MCC?? /j

I’m shocked we’ve made it this far without any gay jokes, we were overdue, truly

Clown to clown communication fr /aff

Y’all I started stimming so hard when oli first tried the medium ending it’s not even funny

THEY KILLED IT!!!!

HOLY PURPLE!!!!!!

Everyone hyping Oli up :))

Hole in the Wall

Oh they thought it was still food mode 😭

Sniff needing out over the fog effect with glass while Oli makes jokes about loving men my beloved

Oli calling Sapnap an absolute cringelord before deleting his message is so real

They’re popping off!!

Oli is absolutely carrying these comms

Their comms are so polite, I love this team so much, they’re so calm in between all the chaos

OH MY GOSH THAT CLUTCH

Skybattle

“I have fourandahalfhoursofsleep” “No you don’t. I’m actually- just so you know, I’m about to gaslight you: you have eight hours of sleep” “Ah, I feel so great now!!” This team is pure crack

Sniff is MrBeast and is gonna give Harvey Twitter memberships to use as currency to buy sleep, mhm

Can’t believe oli hates women smh /j

I’m losing my mind /pos

That was an absolute blur, I have no idea what just happened

Oli is an Aimsey supporter, as he should!!!!

Dodgebolt

Oli and Harvey making so many sounds that Pete thought he was lagging 😂

Harvey cheering on Scar is everything I didn’t know I needed

Sniff clowning Harvey for only just now realizing red is fnaf my beloved

WE TALK ABOUT SEXISM IN THE COMMUNITY!! Sniff saying it and the men loudly agreeing that “it needs to be said”

I was so hyped for this team’s chaos and they did not disappoint, great times great vibes :))

OH YES THE LEG BOUNCY THING~ that’s a big 10/10 mood. Just wiggling in general. If I can wiggle while I’m doing things that’s just 100/10. Or sometimes I just get up and like??? Just /walk/ to music??? I can’t do music with lyrics when I’m trying to do like,, intellectual work, but when I’m just existing I n e e d it lmao ~ Wiggle anon

Oh yeah totally! I have a playlist that’s absolutely chock full of instrumental lofi hip hop that I use for my writing, it’s got a lot of City Girl on there and then some other stuff I’m not QUITE sure counts as lofi but ya know. And then a couple Undertale soundtracks.

But yeah definitely! And since I love singing so much, it’s always good when I can walk and sing along at the same time. There’s a bike path by my house that goes in between the canal and the empty place, so when I’m walking there and there’s no one around I sing as loud as I can and it’s... So therapeutic.

And since I sometimes can’t listen to music or bounce my leg in class without distracting people, I have a half-finished scarf that I keep in my backpack that I casually knit when I need something to do with my hands. I could ramble on about my stims for ages fdhisdh

Life post!

Because I haven’t done one in a while and gOSHDARNIT today was such a good.

First, I suppose some general updates:

Teaching: overall, good. My kids are stressing me out a bit. I just laid in my bed when I got home yesterday it was so bad. (My boss told me it’s time to breakout the hardass hat and make them watch as shit hits the fan bc they aren’t doing the work when they miss days so that’s the gameplan I guess.)

Classes: my theory class is actually pretty good! I’m enjoying it. My TAship class is fun, we basically have workshop/gab sessions, and the last few times we’ve shared activities which is REALLY GREAT. My teaching lit class has been really great (if easy on the actual materials bc it’s a bunch of stuff I basically did as prep for the TAship) and pretty fun to talk about.

Professional: teaching... see above. Publications, haven’t heard back from the superhero one in.... a ..... while.... (I’ll wait til this quarter dies down before I email the editors again). I’m also reviewing a book - I’m trying to make my way through reading it chapter by chapter, and taking summary & commentary notes for myself throughout this quarter, then during break I’ll review those and actually WRITE the review. The book so far has been really interesting, I like it.

Skating: yes, this now gets it’s own category. Shhh you love it. I managed a solid 5 laps around the rink!! No wall, no falls, no close-calls! Also no breaks. Just five consecutive laps. Amazing. I also!! Managed to get two or three tiny stops in! Still not proper stops, really, but it’s a start, and I think it’ll be good. And, of course, as you have seen from my recent posts, I NOW OWN MY OWN PAIR OF FIGURE SKATES. (And a pair of green gloves, tie-dye soakers, and swirl green guards. The guards are scented. Like Lysol. No one knows why, but I love them.) Ended up running me a bit more expensive than I originally planned B U T it was worth it. Should take me, if I keep going once a week regularly, about 2-3 months to break them in (and I’m going to help break them in by wearing them around the house in the guards a bit, to help loosen them up). Very exciting. I’m using an old rolly backpack for my skates (bright purple! I’m very colorful when it comes to skating apparently lmao I also wear my neon orange gay visibility beanie when I’m on the ice) and it’s working out really well.

General life: Mostly just because I wanna tell y’all about today. Today I hung out with C basically ALL DAY LONG. And we MOSTLY DID NOTHING. I really needed that break. I’m slightly paying for it now (I have a lot to try to do tonight and may end up pulling an allnighter) but it was reasonable. We went and got my skates, and accessories, went back to her place, made slime (IT’S WEIRD AND I LOVE IT we’re gonna make a fluffier batch next time ehehe it’s so good for stimming), went out to eat, killed another hour or so, then went to the public skate!!! WHERE THE RINK. WAS NEARLY COMPLETELY EMPTY OH MY GOSH and the ice was so smooth ahhhhhhhh it was beautiful. Today was a good day. Now to work until it’s not today lol.

Anywho, that’s pretty much my life update. I feel a LOT better after spending the day like....... relaxing. I really needed it. (Also: I can bend over at the waist and put my fingers down on the ground flat, tho not my palms YET, and I can touch fingers behind my back on one side!!) I think all this exercise, and being focused with the skating, has really helped with depression and moods and stress - I’ve been stretching a half hour every morning just about, and then an hour of workout almost every evening (with skating hopefully every saturday now!). I’m excited next time B comes with us to skate, I can show off my SWEET BOOTS N BLADES <333

Life is good. Even when it seems like shit’s hit the fan.
