#it's her senior year of high school

I think if you're someone who's only ever existed in progressive accepting spaces, you should really be required to do more research on conversion therapy, queer homelessness statistics, bullying at Christian schools, Leelah Alcorn and the abuse she received from her parents leading up to her suicide, and all other related things, before you even begin writing a narrative about a closeted teen. And if you don't, LGBT+ youth from unsafe backgrounds should get to kill you with hammers

My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

The Bad Kids go to college and Adaine “will throw hands” Abernant gets into collegiate level kickboxing. This is how we get mma (mixed magical arts) wizard

Anyways I'm so fucking relieved that Porter was evil actually. Bc I was actually so damn mad that he got to be right about Gorgug. Like there's just something insidious about the idea of a teacher who comes in and says they know more about what your path should be. And they push and push and keep telling you that they're only hurting you bc they know you can do more. And it doesn't matter if you feel that way or even if you want to do more, bc they've decided they know the right path for you. And it's only ever your life and your sanity on the line; they're risking nothing. So I was so fucking mad when Gorgug succeeded at the barbificer thing and Porter got to be all 'see? I was only pushing you bc I believed in you' bc you better believe if Gorgug hadn't managed it, the blame would've been on him not Porter....

Anyways with the hindsight that Porter is basically the big bad, it suddenly becomes a question of if Porter even wanted Gorgug to succeed. Like they had to know the Bad Kids were the biggest threat to their plan, so like. Undermining them in whatever way was possible would be smart. And so instead of Porter getting to be Right about how to treat Gorgug, it's like. Was he sabotaging him? Was he trying to make Gorgug fail? And it becomes more that Gorgug succeeded in spite of Porter's bullshit.

Loved the ending of fhjy but I definitely feel like there were some loose ends and plot points that I do want closure for. Does Fig still owe her last record label money for not putting out her sophomore album in time? Is Gorgugs house/soil still infected? What was the relevance to his tree being a warden? The timeline inconsistencies between the 7 and this season with Zelda? I’m sure there’s more O: I need like a 4 hour long adventuring party immediately.

My mom is always like "you were suchhh an easy kid compared to your brothers, you didn't even cry the first night home from the hospital it was so weird. I never had to worry about you since I knew you could handle yourself" meanwhile I as a kid always felt like

y’all am I overreacting im actually pissed off

[hanzajesthanza]

question! in blood of elves, emhyr gives menno the order to have rience stop fucking around and kill geralt but he specifies very clearly that yennefer is to be left alone. for why. bc i feel like it's personal otherwise he would have been like "don't kill her in front of ciri/do it quietly/mercifully"

i think if rience had been less arrogant and more clever, i.e. followed the advice of not playing around—and potentially if geralt was caught unaware, then he could have killed him…

but there was no way in hell rience was getting near yennefer. she is like five times the sorcerer that he is, so it would have been suicide to go after her

I finally figured out how Jonathan and Chrissy are gonna start having weird sex.

truly I think fhjy is about me and siobhan being confused by the american school system (even if its a fantasy counterpart)

Imagine walking into class on the first day and the teacher has cardboard cut outs of some of your f/os strategically placed around the classroom so that no matter where you sit they are staring at you

i love my sister and for the most part, we are very close and genuinely like each other a lot but the one place where i'd just really, really, really like to see inside her brain is the part where she is still incredibly comfortable and cheerful—and even thinks it's really funny—talking about how much she didn't like me as a child while I'm like. yes. I am and was aware. and it sucked so so so much

(Color guard rant of the month) knowing I’m going to be captain next year scares the shit out of me when I see my current captain (who did dance for years) pick up advanced sabre choreography in a half hour and know the correct counts to it when I could barely REMEMBER the first third 💀 that’s what I get when I joined freshmen year with no dance/choreography background. I clawed my way up over the course of three years and disregarded my mental health so many times to be where I am but still will forever lack the natural talent some people have. And that fact makes me truly upset sometimes
