Hihi again!! Two in one day sksnhsksls :3 (probably more, you're very welcome)
Adding to my dream I had, I then took u guys home and we lived together and had a lot of fun. I also made you all hairclips *gives :3*
ANYWAYS! MORE QUESTIONS!!!
1. Does Moon like the idea of being a security bot? Of he still is one! I know before he was made specifically for that!
2. Does Sun like adults this time around! Since from what I've seen he can get sassy jdlsdksks XD
3. Eclipse! Clipsy! The best boy I've ever seen! :D Do you like sleepovers? I wanted to invite You, Sun and Moon! :D We'll eat popcorn and watch movies and make paper pals and also watch analog horror :3 (i like horror a lot if you all don't mind)
4. Do you happen to know any other animatronics? Like the Glamrocks! What's your opinion on the Glamrocks? I think Freddy's cool and Chica! Monty is kind of a jerk but Roxy is cool!
5. Moon, moon, moon-moon!!! :D Can you still use the cord? Do you still have the hook on your back? Can u teach me how to do those fancy moves if you still do them? :3
6. Sunny boy! Sunray! :D Do you ever think of what it'd be like if you and Moon still shared a body? But instead of your original forms, the ones you have now! Of course, it's not painful or anything, hugs hugs :(
6. Do you guys have a house outside of the pizzaplex? Like just an apartment or anything? :O i was thinking about it and i feel like you'd all have a HUGE house with your different sections :]
7. I really like those FNAF analog/VHS tape horror videos. Also Mandela Catalog! Would you feel comfortable watching those with me :D (it's horror, so idk if u'd like that :P)
THAT'S ALL!! I'll be back either later or tomorrow >:D evil laugh hehehehejnsoksns :3
Sun: Oh goodness me! this is very long-
Moon: [chuckles]
Sun: [sends Moon a glare before turning back to the questions] I think... Oh this is so much, friend! hm. [he taps his lip a little in thought] Okay! Number 1! [Looks at Moon]
Moon: [sighs] I still patrol. Just not as often. Do i like it? Well when the human security guards are there its very fun to scare the fluff [groans at the censor] out of them. [glances at Sun] Your turn
Sun: [smiles] Number 2!: I am very kind and sweet to the humans who work around us! i am even friends with some of them! Though yes they do annoy me when they are lazy with their tasks! i can do them quick and easy! But no no no no! they do not ask me! [he huffs then looks to Eclipse] Ready for number 3, Clip?
Eclipse: [nods then tilts his head] best... boy? sleep over? i am not currently allowed to leave the Daycare or have guests. I cannot watch violent movies in case it triggers the virus.
Sun: ... [clears his throat] number 4!: We do know the glamrocks! I do not have any favorites but the only one who really talks with them is Moonie!
Moon: Theyre all annoying. [he sounds fond then looks at number 5] Hm. Well we all have our wires still. the cords. I am the one who uses it the most but i would rather not test my luck with bringing someone with me up there sorry, friend.
Sun: number 6!: oh... I do not wish to talk about that type of thing i am very sorry friend. Number 7! We still live in the pizzaplex! we have a room thats been modified so its more homey now! [he smiles] we can however leave to explore the city if we wished! we just gotta tell people where and when we are going and for how long! [he giggles] and number 8! [he frowns] why would you ever watch something so scary, friend! you shouldnt be watching those things! [he tsks and wiggles his finger at you, disapproving]
Moon: why watch scary things when we have the scariest thing right here [taps Eclipse who frowns. He looks sad, eyes distant]

5, 16, and 21 for writer's ask!
5. What is something so clever you wrote that nobody commented on?
Hmmmmm. I don't really have one for this? Maybe the moment in The McDonald's Crisis of 1999 when Joseph clips out of reality for the first time, and the void he's in is both described as ink-black and paper-white at the same time? Tried to write it to seem like he had actually fallen out of the story itself, and he was seeing the pages (well, not pages bc it's digital but you get what I mean) of the fic. Nobody seemed to notice that
16. Tell us about one of your characters/a headcanon for a character you write frequently (author's pick).
I have a headcanon that Joseph absolutely despises mushy food of all sorts. Like, eating it makes him want to throw up level of despising. I don't think I've mentioned it in a fic, but it'll definitely come up in one of them eventually
21. What is a work that has inspired you recently?
Not too sure what this means tbh. I guess if we're going with any sort of work, fanfic or no, the videogame Superhot has inspired me to write something with the same sort of premise in one way or another. Idk if I'll ever get around to finishing writing it or not though. Speaking of Superhot actually, I recommend you check it out! It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years!

and another oc asks for emil <3
- local emil kisser
i finally organised all my oc banners into the same folder. are you proud?
🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like?
Well he doesn't have a home. Or a consistent place he stays. Emil is on the run? So I guess i'll answer the second half! He misses his king sized bed with the deep red sheets and the black canopy, he wants that back one day. It was so comfortable.
🐁 Capybaras are friend-shaped. What shape does your OC have?
A problem shape.
🌧️ What is the favorite thing for you OC to do on a rainy day?
Preferably inside a warm tavern with a glass of the strongest alcohol the place serves.
🪨 Someone gifts your OC a shiny rock. What do they do with it?
If its a small enough rock he'll keep it! He doesn't have much storage on the run but he appreciates the gesture.
🐹 Which would be your OCs favorite Pokemon? What kind of trainer would they be?
In the pokemon au he's the Cadea Region's Champion's Royal Guard! His team is as follows: Gardevoir (Marceau), Shuppet (Narcisse), Sylveon (Colette), (Shiny) Phantump (Roselle), Snom (Cutest Boy Ever also known as Snom Nom and Oriane), Sableye (Evrard)
🎲 If your OC played a pen and paper RPG, what class would they pick? Warrior, mage, thief, ranger, cleric, paladin, druid, necromancer, bard (or other, if that’s not enough).
I actually played Emil as an Order of the Mutant Bloodhunter! It was super awesome! I think he'd choose a Bloodhunter too! Maybe Ghostslayer though. :)
🎮 If your OC lives or would live in the modern world, would they like video games? What would be their favorite game?
He'd love video games! I like to think he'd make an awesome fps/horror streamer
👎 Is there someone your OC can’t stand, despite them being on the same side or sharing basic values?
Emil doesn't get along with most people due to his standoffish personality. Even if they're on the same side. This misunderstanding leads to a lot of people he can't stand.
🌈 Does your OC speak more than one language? If so, how many and which?
(Fantasy) English, French, and conversational German.
🥪 On a scale from ‘burns water’ to '5 course menu’ how well can your OC cook?
He's a 2. On what scale? Idk. But he's a two. he's not great. he will fail at a recipe seven times before making something edible, but at least he gets there.
📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?
The aristocracy in relation to ancient times.
🪄 Does your OC have any special powers? If so, are they normal in this OC’s universe?
Same sort of thing where allogenes aren't common but they aren't not normal. Emil does later become an 'interstice' though. Someone that lives between living and dead. Who will die but cannot stay dead, forever existing in a limbo sort of state. THAT isn't normal.
🎨 Does your OC have any craft skill, as a hobby or profession? If so which?
Not really lol
🌳 Would your OC survive for a week on their own in the wilderness?
EVERY DAY BABYYYY
🌊 Has your OC ever seen the ocean? If not, do they want to? What do they think of it?
He's seen it. He's seen more impressive things though.
🥞 Does your OC take proper care of themselves, like getting enough sleep and eating properly?
Emil tries to? But its kind of hard. He doesn't sleep very well, insomniac.
🤝 Does your OC have someone they want at their side when they are scared? Who?
Laure usually. He trusts her to be there for him but not ask questions. He appreciates not having to spill why.
🌌 If your OC has a nightmare, what’s it most likely about?
Losing his sisters.
🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?
Said sisters. Or Ohm, strangely enough.
🎒 If your OC had to pick three things of all their belongings to keep, which would they chose?
His (rather, Mitch's) hair clips. His sword. A bracelet Alexis made him.
🕐 Was there ever a time your OC would have given everything to turn back the clock 5 minutes? What happened?
When he lost his eyesight + gained his Vision. He'd have struck first.
🎭 What is the one thing your OC regrets most? Would they undo it, considering how their life turned out?
Leaving his sisters behind. He'd undo it. Bring them with him.
🔪 What does your OC think how they’ll die?
Emil figures he should be dead already, he's thankful every day he gets to push forward and keep going. Unbridled human determination. So he tries not to think of how.
📅 If your OC had one day left to live, how would they spend it?
He'd go home.

December 16th, 2023 - New scent
────────────────────────────── Woke up at 1 or 2 PM No breakfast ofc I got a perfume as a gift last night ──────────────────────────────
☆.。†:*・゜☆.。†:*・゜☆.。†:*・゜☆
Hey, how are y'all?
I slept at 7 AM and remembered that I might go to my mother's shop and work with her. It actually was my idea before my holidays started, but maybe I'll do it now. Probably next week.
I also got a new perfume. Last night the mother of the classmate who asked me for my History notes sent me this perfume as a gift for all my help. I love it! It smells so sweet, I like that kind of scents. This one, which you can see at the top, is an imitation of Olympéa Solar by Paco Rabanne. Absolutely beautiful.
Moving onto the picture, I also added my non-binary bracelet and a few paper clips to separate the subjects I'll have at school. Yes, I reached a quite elevated level of boredom that made me think about school life again. I might use that perfume for class and turn it into my ✨️signature scent✨️. idk
I even tried making a bag with all things I may need there. Money, pills, extra shirt, pads, all thise things. The problem is... how am I gonna pack everything? Of course there are gonna be a few items, but I'm not sure about which bag I could use. I'll think about it.
I don't have a reason why I chose that song of the night. I just wanted to. But speaking of songs, I've been listening to more Slowdive. Last night I listened to Pygmalion and Slowdive a few hours ago.
Pygmalion is great. However, I wouldn't consider it my favourite one. It has pretty good songs, but some of them are... not my cup of tea (*cough* Crafy for You *cough* Trellisaze). My favourite ones are Rutti and Visions Of LA.
The self-titled album was awesome tho! I wish I knew wth they say on Go Get It - it sounds fire anyway. My favourite songs are Don't Know Why, Everyone Knows, and No Longer Making Time. I only have to listen to Everything Is Alive and I'm done.
Then I have to listen to the three EPs and stuff. But we are focused on the albums right now.
I was gonna say that I've been feeling joyful these days... but no. I had a few mood swings today. And I can't deny it, I can't lie about that.
But it's not up to me, it never really was. (see what I did there? lol we love Björk) So I don't mind it a lot.
I'm HUNGRYYYYYYY I'll see if there's something to eat before dinner lol
Bye-bye. Rest well.

ok i'm finally caught up after reading the morning the paper (this blog) here's what i'm thinking, sorry it's so long 😭
usually i'm not someone who cares about over analyzing bc most things do tend to be that deep, but i think we're reading too far into the friend group part of jk and csw a bit, we have no way of knowing if she's been around his friends or not, i think it doesn't help that he probably has more lowkey and not recognizable friends in ny, like music friends or something, i don't think it's weird we haven't seen her with nat and charlie bc i think if they were spotted all together that would make the relationship look a lot more serious, like jk and m were always spotted with nat and charlie in the early days so ppl would definitely make it a thing if jk started bringing her around them too
as for all red flags i think we're judging all this as if it's a full on serious relationship when it's not, maybe i'm giving them too much credit but i think they both know exactly what this relationship is, like it's fun and something new but it's not going to turn into marriage or anything, and i do think they like each other but i think they know this isn't something lasting through the strike ending since he'll be so busy, i honestly don't see them trying to make it work at all and just going back to being friends or pure fwb whenever they're both in ny, i do think maybe chase might have stronger feelings only because she's used to having strong short term relationships but i think this is a fling for her too, that's why they're ok being very friendly publicly
they are in a honeymoon phase and i know you turn blind during that but i don't think it's fair for us to judge it like a potential long term thing just yet and be questioning his judgement like he's this oblivious (god i hope not) 😭 idk the anons calling whatever they have going on weird and/or toxic rubbed me the wrong way i really think they're just two people having fun while they're unemployed
i could be wrong maybe we'll see csw in atl and i'll have to eat my words but that's what i'm thinking
oh last tidbit, i was going to say jk hanging around the it girl friend group surprised me at first too as someone who loves rachel and ayo specifically, i'm very biased in this part but now i think it does kinda make sense for him, bc yeah they are kind of it girls rn but they're doing it in a very ironic and sort of dorky way, like if you watch clips of ayo and rachel together they're humors very silly and dorky, they seem to enjoy fame a lot but none of them have an ego about it maybe jk likes that, it is funny imagine what a conversation between jk and them would sound like tho 💀
Another perspective about this! But I think we’ve beaten this horse to death y’all. We just gotta wait and see.

college au imagines with valorant men
Includes: Yoru, Chamber, Phoenix, Sova, and Cypher.
SFW, slice of life imagines.
cw: probably contains spelling and grammatical errors. it's 4am please forgive me i can not sleep. do enjoy though.
yoru would playfully step on your shoes, and he'd do it with a proud smirk. he knows that you'll run after him to step on his shoes too so he thinks that it's the perfect way to get close to you without being so obvious about it. he's also the type to hide your pens / pencil case in his own bag so that you'd talk to him during class asking if he had an extra pen. (he'd sneak the pencil case back to you after classes, though.)
chamber's the type to mouth you the answer when you're asked to recite. the type to say, "what's in it for me?" when you ask for test/seatwork answers. also the type to bump his hips to yours when you're both standing to wait for the bus (or you, at least. he probably has his own driver to drive him home but he insisted on hanging out with you 'til you get a ride home.)
phoenix is the type to shout, "this is for you!" before attempting to score during a basketball tournament. spoiler: he didn't hit the basket. but he'd sheepishly smile and say that t'was just a 'practice round'. would also be the type to steal cartolina paper somewhere and write "GO [NAME]!!!!!!" on it using a permanent marker that he most likely stole from yoru when it's you that's competitively playing. he probably drew hearts, a fucking spaceship or something and a tree surrounding the text. he likes being flashy and extra.
sova would be your cool upperclassman that always smiles at you in the hallway and approaches you when you're alone. he leaves snacks/drinks on your desk whenever it's break time so you have something to secretly munch on during classes. if you play sports, he'd attend your sports club practice and watch you play from the sidelines. always has hair ties on his wrists. his classmates asked him about it and he only answered with, "for emergencies." but they definitely know that he keeps them for you.
cypher's also your upperclassman. he's the more annoying one, though. would softly throw a ball at your head just to get your attention. always gives you small sticky notes, small messages that says, "walk with me home later?" "should we eat somewhere before heading home?" "can u buy me milk and give it to me later at lunch pls i'll pay u back" He in fact did not pay you back. - sneaks into the security room (or something idk) with you just to show you a clip of phoenix slipping in the halls through security cameras. weirdly knows all the best seats in every classroom and gives them to u (fans/air conditioning hitting the spot perfectly, a spot that's barely noticed by the teacher etc).

A bit of the script I'm working on as practice
[Vesper flipping the 'open' sign to 'closed' as the camera pans past a camera reading 10 pm.] "Wake up, sin, eat, repeat." "This is why that Christian Lady dislikes you Koda." "Yeah, yeah. Refill the napkins by the door before you take the trash out please." [Koda walks past her towards the tables and begins wiping them clean.]
[Ves grabs the trash and exits the building through the backdoor] >[Tutorial on watch which tells your objective and how far you are from it] [Throws trash away and starts heading back]
[A masked figure, Skully, ducks around the corner] "Hello?" [Silence] "I know you're there!" [slowly rounds corner. picks up crumbled piece of paper reading 'RUN'] {Ves hurrying back inside]
"Koda!" "Woah kid, I know you're eager to go home but-" "There was someone out there with me." "Vesper, you know your doctor told you they were hallucinations." "Hallucinations don't give me notes." [Holds up blank piece of paper.]
"Huh?" "Did you take your meds earlier-" "No, no. There was someone out there with me I promise! Check the cameras." "Ves, you know-" "Dakota. Check the cameras...please." [He sighs, leading the two of them into the office. A picture of him and his wife sits beside his computer from their honeymoon reading "Hawaii 2006"]
[The camera shows Ves throwing away the trash, the camera going to static as she turns back around. A very faint outline of a person in the bottom left corner disappearing] "See!" "Sure it wasn't a homeless guy or something?" [Ves shakes her head] "That was him."
[Koda stands up. taking his apron off and motioning for Ves to do the same.] "I'll check your house when I drop you off, okay?" [Ves nods, the two of them locking up the small café and heading towards Koda's car.]
[The camera shifts to one of a small hand held camera, the recorder being behind the dumpster. The clip ends showing the two of them drive off]
I'm working on writing a game script and Idk if I'm doing this correctly but It's something.

SURVIVAL GUIDE & STUDY TIPS
hello everyone!! this post is a collab with the lovely and amazing @boinkhs because we've both reached 2k followers :D she'll be doing study tips for college students and i'll be doing study tips for high schoolers. check out her post here!
i've split this into part 1. survival, which concerns how to study & learn better in general and just tips on how to get through high school. part 2. is on specific study tips for each type of subject, namely sciences, maths, languages and humanities.
Hope this helps <3
1. Don't snooze please
you just end up snoozing 5 times then you’re late for school
2. If you find you have difficulty getting out of bed, just keep in mind ONE TASK you need to do.
for example, making your bed. then you just gotta focus on that! it should help fight the sleepiness because you’re forcing your brain and limbs to be active.
3. Do the necessary things like brushing your teeth, putting on clothes and eat breakfast
i don’t know why but some people don’t eat breakfast before coming to school like ???? excuse me ???? please eat at least a small snack, or a fruit or something. your body doesnt function on an empty stomach! also, drink some water to hydrate yourself
4. On the road, you should do something that puts you in a good mood.
for me, i go straight to spotify and listen to my playlist. you should also review the previous day’s learning so that you refresh your memory before going back to class. personally this is my fav part of the day HAHAHA
5. If you like, you can choose to read a book.
just make sure you’re calm but ‘warmed up’ to focusing in a sense.
1. Hydrate frequently
idk man it just keeps you awake + i dont feel so icky if i drink enough water
2. Learn actively
if the teacher asks questions, try to answer. sit at the front row. offer to help give out the worksheets or notes. clarify your doubts after. when they speak, copy down notes. don’t worry about the aesthetic; i mean you can but you need to write fast and neat which unfortunately doesnt come together very often. i suggest you spend more brain power digesting and understanding the content.
3. Don’t over highlight
ONLY KEY POINTS that are stressed by the teacher. you can tell when their tone changes, expression changes, when they use more hand motions, or they keep repeating a few key words. yes , that. highlight that. stare at it while listening to them speak. make sure you understand. if you don’t please ask. but make sure you don’t have a fluorescent page because that’s not ideal study material!
4. Write down any questions you have
if they’re answered in the lesson, cancel them off. if not, ask after the lesson. dont be scared! *sends virtual courage*
5. Use whatever free time you have to finish homework
because you’re gonna thank yourself later. you should spend more time at home revising than doing homework. ( doing homework isnt equivalent to revising PLEASE I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY REVISED FOR 3 HOURS BUT ALL THEY DID WAS HOMEWORK ) also it feels better knowing you have one less thing to worry about
6. Record down all assignments, due dates and test dates
do it in a planner or your phone. doesn’t matter just keep them somewhere. it can be demoralising to see an entire entry of shit to get done but still it’s better than not knowing what needs to be done. ignorance is NOT bliss. try to color code or symbol code them, for example • for assignments (due date behind), - for tests etc. act on this when you go home (see below)
7. Have a file/binder some form of organisation to keep different subjects’ worksheets, tests, notes, reading etc.
you can have one massive binder, one binder for each subject, one folder file for each subject or anything that suits you. for me, i clip all materials of one subject together with a binder clip. the materials i use most are at the front for easy reference. then put those bundles into zipper files, perhaps one for math and sciences, another for languages and humanities. or whatever suits you best! make sure you have everything in one place so you don’t panic and dig through a pile of dog-eared paper.
8. If you can, when it’s near the exam period, don’t stay back after school unless it’s to study.
i used to stay back for training and to play volleyball with my friends and i kid you not we would play from 2pm to 6.30 pm and get nothing done but it was fun. and i’m not saying deprive yourself of that fun but when the exams are near, you should be studying somewhere quiet/ somewhere you can focus. you should go somewhere (preferably home) where you can focus and get things done.
9. Decide if you’re a lone wolf or if you need a study buddy/study group
personally i’m a lone wolf because i hate distractions and i don’t want to distract others. but when my friends ask me for help i don’t mind staying back a little to teach them and/or study with them. Personally i find that for subjects like english which require you to write about an array of topics, studying with someone else can help in generation of essay points and to just broaden your understanding of the topic. so yeah it really depends, just do what suits you :)
10. Take notes in class
try to understand while copying, and if you didn’t understand something, you should raise your hand and ask for the teacher to repeat so that you hear it again. also, it gives you more time to take notes as they re-explain the content. read them after the lesson is over to help internalise some facts. you can create your own method of organisation for your notes, e.g. colour coding.
1. Review the day’s learning on the way home.
if you take public transport, try to flip through your notes and worksheets to review new content for the first time.
2. Eat lunch, have a snack, take a shower, everything that’s necessary.
if you use your phone while eating, make sure you don’t eat slowly just to use your phone because that’s wasting time.
3. If you’re super tired, just have a 15-20min power nap
nothing more otherwise you will NEVER wake up until the dead of night. just take a nap to get some energy back. doesnt matter if you wake up feeling more tired, because you’ll shake that feeling in a while. keep a glass of water beside you so that you can drink it once you wake up!
4. Look through your ‘list’ that you made earlier in the day. (in class, pt. 6)
you might want to spend max 10 mins updating your schedule. then stare at the dreaded homework. start with the easiest and least time consuming to build up momentum. this could actually be the remainder of what you’ve finished in school. then look at the due dates. do them in order of due dates. unless it’s a huge project or assignment, you might want a head start on it!
5. With the remaining time, you should start revising
review the day’s learning AGAIN.
make notes/mindmaps/flashcards whatever works for you. you should prioritise the subject or chapter that you were most confused about. quickly revise and try to clear up any questions you have about the chapter. if you have additional time, go ahead and make notes for the next subject! another way is going through corrections and clarifying your doubts with friends/teachers, and summarise the day’s learning on a post-it or two. if you’ve already taken notes in class, look at other sources e.g textbook and combine what you’ve learnt before re-writing or re-organising your notes.
1. Pack your bag!
remove unnecessary materials, and pack the necessary one. make sure your bag isnt too heavy. you can choose to hand carry some files or binders if they’re too bulky, but make sure you’re all packed before the next morning
2. Have a meal & clean up
again, basic necessities. don’t go to bed hungry or feeling icky because thats not how you treat yo self!
Before class:
if you’re going to continue on a chapter, review the content that came before it. Try to make your own connections between the already learnt and to-be learnt content so that you’re mentally ready for class.
In class:
take down notes, highlight, annotate and DRAW DIAGRAMS. you can’t do sciences without diagrams. for physics or chemistry which require more calculation, copy down the problems your teacher goes through and solve them along with him/her. write the formulas on a post it note so you can stick it onto the page where you’re writing for easy reference. if the teacher plays a video which is MOST DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR YOU you have to write only the relevant points in the most abbreviated form possible.
Note-taking:
I find that linear notes help me most in sciences. for chapters that involve lots of interconnected processes, for example o chem, then mindmaps or flowcharts will be helpful. also if you tend to forget something, post-it that stuff on the front page of your notes where you are FORCED to stare at it. yes. write down example problems and their steps, then write explanations for each step so that if you’re confused you can always refer back. again, draw any required diagrams.
Answering techniques:
if there’s a ‘standard’ way to answer it then you have to make sure you follow that way even in your homework because it’s muscle memory. when you get to exams, your hand will automatically write in the same format so you don’t lose marks or spend time recalling the correct format.
imo sciences are quite logical so as long as you remember and follow the flow you’ll be fine!
In class:
copy key terms, facts and examples and write all examples that the teacher has gone through. write all formulas and definitions on a post it, then shift it around the pages as needed. if there’s a type of problem you particularly suck at, ask your teacher for help IMMEDIATELY because it’s so easy to forget the steps to a problem.
At home:
do your homework, do additional practice, correct your mistakes, clarify, and repeat. memorise formulas and definitions (perhaps using flashcards or post its) then practice more and make sure your concepts are strong. there’s no easy way and sadly this is all i can comment.
In class:
copy down notes, think actively, and if you’re given a sample essay you should annotate the heck out of it and keep it somewhere safe.
For essays:
read up more and write up. befriend the best writer in class and ask for their essays. write essay plans and consult your teacher. brainstorm possible approaches with friends. read the news, and copy the links of interesting online articles for future reference. have a go-to list of examples and quotes you can use, for any and every topic. read these like your bedtime story and never forget to keep updating them.
For comprehension passages:
read the questions first. then you’ll be more sensitive to what you need to read in the passage and how you need to analyse it. try to question yourself about how and why the author does something or makes you feel something. do not rush-read the passage or you will fail horribly (personal experience). do one or two extra comprehensions and ask your teacher to mark them.
In class:
ARROWS TO LINK EVERYTHING and annotate any class notes given. write down new examples provided by the teacher. if there is a link you ‘can check out’ go check it out. it’s probably something thats gonna be on the exam.
At home:
you have to rely on mindmapping and flow charts because everything is linked in some way and you cannot ignore those links!!!! although i do my humanities notes in linear form, my in class notes are all in the form of mindmaps. and actually i revise from those in a pinch because i can see everything at one go. watch vids on the concepts, for example plate tectonics. those things are so hard to see when they’re deadass sitting on the page and not budging. watch a video where they really move instead of being frozen.
If you’re so frickin lost:
watch more videos on the concepts, watch more videos on the events, search up interpretations online and ask your teachers!!! for everyone who gets equally lost as me when i’m faced with a new chapter, another way is to pre-read before the teacher starts teaching. if you’re lazy to read just watch a couple clips on it so that at least you have some background. even if you wake up the next day with 0 concrete memory, which you won’t, you’ll already have the flow of things which will help you if you’re usually the straggler.
(disclaimer i study geography although i've tried history and english literature but i think that they're similar to some extent, especially on how to study them)
