#my last exam was 21 august

[willesredlights]

So I get my grades from my retake exams tomorrow, light some candles cuz I really need them🫠🫠🕯🕯

[girlthativealwaysbeen]

it's been a year since i lied to you and told you that yes ive moved on so can we please be friends again. can you really blame me? i thought getting good at suppressing our memories from that one month meant moving on. i didn't know that i would feel a lump in my throat when you called me suddenly in the middle of a sunday even tho the plan was to talk once a week and we had talked only 3 days before. i didn't know i would feel butterflies in my stomach when i heard your laugh so close to my ear, but can you really blame me for being reminded of you giggling talking about the logistics of kissing on your study table?

but it's been another year since we've talked on the phone. those memories are so distant and blurry and full of light and happiness that i can't even believe they happened to me, it feels like they happened to a different person. so you don't have to worry, because ive moved on now.

remember when i used to tell you that i miss you so much i can't think about anything else, that i spend all my day reading our old chats? and you used to say, you need to stop and there are other people in the world? well, you don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable now. i passed the exam i failed because i was too heartbroken over you. i go to tuitions and then i go to internship and i come home so late that all i do is eat and sleep. ive been doing better these days.

and you were right, there are other people in the world. but do you know, i asked a girl to come watch barbie with me, and she made a disgusted expression and said she'd already watched it and she hated it? this happened after we shared a coffee and realising we live next to each other and finding out that she watches kdramas and i listen to kpop. so surprising isn't it? someone who probably understands toxic masculinity and gender roles are fucked up still has internalised misogyny in her? nobody can compare to you, you lecturing me about feminism in tenth standard and your little book club with assigned reading as a thousand splendid suns and you having tears in your eyes showing us harry styles with pride flags in his concerts and you being mean and blunt saying i need to talk about my internalised homophobia. im starting to think you were one in a million and i was a fool to lose you, and an even bigger fool to have had you back and then lose you again.

but do you understand now? you told me you didn't, two years ago. i asked you, don't you understand that i was going crazy dealing with my psychotic family and i was depressed and tired and couldn't talk? and you said no, you're sorry, you really don't, you don't understand how someone can not share why they're sad to the person they supposedly love the most in the world. as i was writing this, daylight by taylor swift started playing. ironic, isn't it? there are many memories ive tried to erase from that one month, but this one i cannot forget- me coming into your room the night we planned and asking you if you're sure about this and is this like an experiment thing a oh what's kissing like thing or is it a we're in love with each other thing, and you smiling softly and saying girl yes i am sure it is one hundred percent a we're in love thing.

ive been getting better at sharing my sadness with my loved ones. my parents haven't stopped fighting, my dad shouted at my mom today morning because my brother lost the car keys, but it's okay, ive learned to tune it out. he only lives here for half a month, he stays somewhere else the other half so it's been easier to bear. my sister moved out, finally. ive been sad because of it but i know she's obviously happier there so it's okay. we have a neighbor and they have this tiny tiny annoying si kid she always comes to her house after her mom scolded her to sulk and watch tv with us. how is your little sister doing? i think of her when our neighbor devil comes. and how is your mom doing? are they settling in well to the new city? and how are you doing? have you been okay? we don't have to be exes trying to be friends again. but can't we just be childhood friends (if age 15 was childhood) who drifted apart briefly but found their way back to each other? please?

but it's okay, if we can't. cause like i said, ive moved on.

[darlingchronicles]

because the ending was the shittiest thing to exist, this is my alternate version of the umbrella academy plots for season 4 and what needed to be dug more into. thank you for joining me for my ted talk...

*SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASON 4*

1. The five and lila shit...oh my gosh. no no no no. did not need to happen so here is what i suggest. Bring back Delores. while five and lila are traveling through the alternate timelines or even just him alone, it is shown how they're being hunted in almost every time line - either the commission or any other force. lila did mention they were shot at, but i feel that us as viewers need to see it. i feel like an entire episode could have been dedicated to their entire journey through the timelines. In one timeline, five runs into delores. As a human. She doesn't know him or seen him, but there is an instant connect between them. She's confused as to why some things are different in her universe - hinting to the timelines collapsing and that version of Delores isn't suppose to exist. Delores may have been traveling through the timeline herself (possibly if I made that fit into the story) and she is older than she looked just like Five but not as old. He brings her to the subway, telling her he is going to help her and she accepts it. They all, Delores, Lila and Five all spend their days in the subway trying to get back to either her or their timeline. Delores and Five fall in love. It makes sense because Five did fall in love with Delores in the original timeline. This time she's human and she falls in love back because she feels like she does know him. I like to envision her as the opposite of five - more optimistic, happy and a very comforting person, some person anyone would love to be around because she has such a warmth - but she also has sarcasm with her. They're really perfect for each other. Lila (if she is there) is like a older sister to her. We finally see Five in love and how much he desires to be in a normal life. Five finds a way to their original timeline and that goes into the next part which is the ending.

2. The ending was shitty, kind of, by the way. If the marigold was to be destroyed, then they could have kept on living, but I get why they did it. BUT I have a suggestion. If the marigold disappeared and it never existed, they all would have been born in the original timeline, at separate times, but without knowing each other. LET ME EXPLAIN: the only reason they were born was because they were infected by marigold but I believe they were going to be born either way yk? SO what would happen is that the timeline resets to the only timeline - and they all are born at the corners of the world and at different times. (Five is the last to be born). They all have their own lives without their powers and without knowing the others exist. Diego is preparing for a boxing match (he's like 26) in Mexico. Lila is prepping for her FBI exam in Quantico (she's around 23). Viktor owns a bar still and does music classes on the side, maybe in Canada, but I'm thinking Maine for some reason (he's 21). IDK about the others but Five is 17 and heading to University in New York and he's still a certified genius and he's more happy (sadly enough) with his life and we even see him re-meet Delores in a coffee shop or something. Either way, everyone who had marigold exists but they never come in contact with each other. They never know they were once family. The ending shot is of all of them in New York, passing by each other without batting an eye, on different sides of the street, heading different ways, exiting or entering different shops, not even speaking. And then in the outro voice, it is the same ending either April 1st 2019 or August 8th 2024 but nothing happens it's rather ordinary. I feel like that would have been better -- also an entire episode dedicated to their lives and hints of deja vu from their past lives, but they never speak or see each other ever again.

3. I think it needs to be said we don't see enough of everyone's lives in the first episode. I feel like they needed to dig into Lila and Diego's marriage and home life more and the fact that her family was alive in that timeline. More into Allison and Ray's marriage and how it collapsed or how the entire live allison wanted backfired on her. More on Luther mourning Sloane and maybe even finding her, but keeping his distance because she doesn't know him and maybe she's with someone else (not everyone can have happy lives lol). Viktor making the decision to leave and go to Canada to isolate. How Five joined the CIA. Klaus' fear of death. Ben's scheme and being arrested. A whole episode could have dedicated to this. ALSO reginald building a literal empire in the universe and being like the freaking president of the world. He's literally a monopoly. What planet did he come from? Why did he come? What was the point of keeping Abigail on the moon? How did those particles come to be? Another episode would have been good for this. At least half. I just needed more from these episodes. I feel like it started too fast too soon and not enough development.

4. The plot. the story was there just not executed good. maybe the timelines are collapsing into each other or maybe ben feels like someone is calling him (jennifer) and they meet again but are unsure why. i feel like no one can know about jennifer except when they meet her and find out there's something in her. there just needed to be more development of jennifer.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk...

Gothicpopcorn - Relationship Ramble

TWs: sex is mentioned, unhealthy relationships, uhh yeah.

before reading this, i recommend you check out my ethan lore masterpost for further context!

they/them for ethan, she/he/it for radford

First Meeting - ethan and radford met at a local park in the august of 2003 (they’re 18 and radford is 19). eth had been brought there by jaune for a Family Picnic, but she didn’t force eth to hang out. instead, ethan went to a more wooded part of the park in search of animal bones and other little trinkets. their search didn’t last long though, it was interrupted by a certain movie theater employee falling from the sky (a tree, technically). eth sat in the grass with him until it’s dad found the two and helped radford home (his ankle was sprained). they exchanged numbers.

after meeting for that first time, ethan and radford became decent friends. ethan wasn’t very open, they didn’t open up easily or express their interests and radford just straight up didn’t trust people so the two never got close. they barely knew eachother.

Hookup, The Catalyst - ethan had a gig in town, after which they and radford hooked up. this was kind of the catalyst for everything that happened afterwards. radford felt cared for, for once, even if she felt like ethan only cared for it’s body it was something.

they kept hooking up

“Dating” - they got together on february 15th, 2004. radford was desperate at this point, he wanted more, she wanted to feel loved, so she asked ethan out at 12:00 am (it took all of her courage to ask and he spent the entirety of valentines day hyping itself up). ethan agreed, but the two still weren’t close, it was awkward and messy, like living with a stranger.

it went on like this for a few years. radford was just using eth to fill a gap, and ethan knew that, they’d try to connect but eventually gave up

You Have A Sister? - in 2003, when ethan was 20 and radford 21 (yeah, they were really rocky for a While), was the first time ethan and radford actually got to know eachother. albeit a small amount. radford had ethan sleeping over when he woke up to them shufflinf around the room, they were climbing out the window. he sleepily followed, poking his head out as ethan climbed onto the roof. “what are you doing?” “stargazing.” “why?” ethan didn’t answer, which prompted radford to climb up with them. there was a flat section on the roof and radford laid against them once he was up there, it was cold.

for once, their touch felt warm. “there’s a meteor shower tonight,” “is that why you came out.?” “…i’m worried about morgana,” “who?” “my sister.” “w-you have a sister?” he pulled away from them, “since when?” “since 1997.” radford frowned. “sorry.”

after a moment he leaned back in, “tell me about her.”

it was the first time they really talked about something. the first time radford saw them.

the first time radford opened up was after a particularly shitty week at school, tons of exams and just the general stress of college made him exhausted. she went to ethan’s for the usual, it just wanted to feel something. but once she got there, he just, broke down. rad sobbed into eth as they simply held him until radford was so exhausted she fell asleep. ethan never pried or forced radford to talk about what was bugging her, but they did bring radford out to breakfast the next day and bought her a few little gifts at the mall (mostly comics).

by the time morgana was in the picture (2008) ethan and radford were still rocky, but started going to couple’s therapy for morgana’s sake. it took a while, but stuff worked out :)

You ask and shall receive

Question 1 till 21 please 😇😇😇

(Aka: pick the questions you actually want to answer 😂)

Thank you, friend, for this carte blanche!! 😂

I saved it for last because I really am going to answer all the ones I want to answer but haven't yet. Also, I can use it to link all my previous answers! Yay!

I'm putting a cut here because this got ridiculously long (as you can probably imagine).

1. Favorite secondary character

As 'secondary character' was used in this ask game to cover all non-Wilmon characters, I'm going to make a top four:

August because he is, to quote my answer to 21, "easily one of the best-written and best-acted characters in the show. It's rare to see an antagonist with such deep, complex emotions of his own, and casting a sweetheart like Malte to play him was an incredibly successful choice." Personally, I relate pretty hard to his perfectionism, and I also can't help connecting some other stuff about him to someone I know.

[Obligatory disclaimer that this doesn't mean I condone the things he did very wrong.]

Sara because her arc is one of my favourite things in the show and Frida's performance is phenomenal. As with August, I also have a personal point of reference: I too was bullied all through secondary school, and while my experiences weren't as extreme as Sara's, they did leave deep scars and a fundamental feeling of "nobody likes me for real and they never will." So yeah, I do relate to her quite a bit despite not being ND myself.

Henry because he was my inspiration to start writing again after more than ten years. I've always had a tendency to fixate on background characters, and S1 Henry was an intriguing mix of things that felt very foreign to me (his background and political opinions) and things that really appealed to me (his rudeness to Simon vs. kindness to Wille, and of course the vibe that inspired me to read him as ace). I do also enjoy him in the later canon where he is more of a funny mess, but yeah, it's definitely his S1 self I hold the most dear. Also, see everything I wrote about him and Simon here!

And finally, I also want to mention Ayub because he is just a very sweet guy whose friendship with Simon I really enjoy (he does make some mistakes, e.g. by pushing the Marcus rebound, but don't we all). I don't necessarily gush about him much, but I do like him very much. Even tried to write fic from his POV once.

2. Favorite secondary romantic and/or sexual pairing

Out of the canon pairings, Sargust. Their chemistry is amazing, and I love that their romance is absolutely integral to both their character arcs and the show as a whole. I do think they had to stay broken up in S3, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't ship them. I hope they get a second chance later in life when August has grown as a person and things between him and Simon have been resolved as well.

Out of the non-canon (or semi-canon) pairings, I'd say Walty, but I also really enjoy them as a platonic or queerplatonic pair. My ace hc of Henry is strong enough that I don't actually read many fics where they are both allo (although I do have a couple of faves, e.g. Change It And Say which is on my fic rec list linked under question 18).

3. Favorite platonic friendship

Answered here.

4. Favorite triad or polyship

Sorry, I don't really have any thoughts on this! I have enjoyed reading others' answers though.

5. Favorite familial relationship

Answered here.

6. Character(s) you have ace, aro, or queerplatonic headcanons for

To start this off, I want to say I'm really coming around to @bluedalahorse's aroallo Fredrika! Her occasionally rosy and perpetually normative ideas of romance certainly do seem very "this is romance, right?" rather than something she has personally experienced.

But as you know... Ace Henry is the hill on which I will gladly lay down my life. It started back in S1, when it felt like everyone else saw sexual attraction from him towards Stella in the exam scene, and I just couldn't. I guess that just sparked something in me and inspired me to put him under an ace lens haha.

I used to think it was just for my own fics, but then when S2 came out, all I could see was more "proof" (most notably, his very "yikes I forgot that hookups were a thing" reaction to Wille and Felice, as well as his fed-up response to Vincent's "advice"). The poor guy just wanted to live his best dorm life and partake in silly traditions to egg Sprucewood and write cringey Valentine's letters, and everyone around him kept making it about sex for some reason.

[Arospec sidebar: Also, his question on how the protagonist in Kris can be in love with someone she doesn't know can easily be twisted into a rather demi thing to say. I sometimes think demiromantic ace would suit him well.]

And yes, I'm aware that Henry implies that he's straight in S3, but that's because a) he hasn't figured himself out yet or b) he's just saying it to mess with the teacher without actually meaning to imply anything. (Or both. This is messy post-S1 Henry so it's probably both.)

7. Character you didn’t initially like/love but have now warmed up to

Also answered here.

8. Pairing you didn’t initially like/love but have now warmed up to

This is a tough one because I can like almost any pairing if it makes sense in a specific fic, but that doesn't mean I'm going to like them in every context.

Maybe Stedrika? I never disliked them as a couple, but I did dislike them as individuals and wasn't super interested in their romance when it was introduced in S2. I do like them a lot more now that I've warmed up to Stella. Although I still think it would be more interesting if they broke up in uni and had to get back to being friends so... Yeah, this is a tough one.

9. Favorite non-Edmar actor

Malte, Frida, and Pernilla. They give so much depth and allow us to understand these complex characters, even when they make bad decisions. August, Sara, and Kristina are all very challenging roles, and the actors would have deserved to win some awards for how amazingly they embodied all their different sides.

10. Favorite s1 scene centered on a secondary character

My very favourite one is August's talk with his mother on Parents' Day. There's so much meaning loaded into every line (words and delivery) and every expression. Parents' Day as a whole was when August really clicked into place for me on my first watch, but his altercation with Louise was the crowning moment. It was also a major inspiration for how I wrote his messed-up family situation in Årnäs, February 2016.

My runner-up is the scene where Smysan tries to force Felice into the Lucia dress. It makes me so fucking mad and uncomfortable on every watch.

11. Favorite s2 scene centered on a secondary character

Answered here.

12. Favorite s3 scene centered on a secondary character

It's impossible for me to name a single favourite - both because I haven't rewatched S3 much and because there are so many amazing scenes centred on both Sara and August! But my top five (not necessarily in this order) would be 1) Sara and Micke in the car and the subsequent talk with August, 2) August reading his first-year letter to Sara, 3) August and Nils talking about their initiation, 4) Sara's driving exam, and 5) August breaking down at the table and Nils and Vincent comforting him. These are all stellar scenes that tell us so much about the characters involved and their relationships.

13. Secondary character you think should have had more screentime

Answered here.

14. Any ships (crackships included) involving Simon or Wilhelm that break up Wilmon? We won’t tell!

This is also a question I don't really have an answer to. I guess maybe Simon/Ayub as others had made very compelling cases for it, but I just love their friendship so much that I don't know if I could truly get behind a romantic take.

15. Adult character whose teenage backstory would make the best spin-off series

Answered here.

16. A song that reminds you of a secondary character or pairing

Answered here.

17. Secondary character or pairing that needs more fanart

All of them!! There are far too few pieces of fanart centred on characters other than Wilmon.

18. Favorite fic centered on a secondary character or pairing

Answered here. My number one favourite is @bluedalahorse's August fic, Swell the Numbers.

19. Shout out a fanfic author for their writing of a secondary character (or characters) in a subplot

Here, I must admit that I haven't read too many fics with subplots focused on the secondary characters. That's because most of those are multi-chapter Wilmon fics, which I haven't read very many of in the last few years. I did read more of them in my early days in the fandom, but I don't think there were any such subplots in those fics that really stuck with me.

However, I did very much enjoy your take on Henry in the dark vampire fic, @willedeservesbetter! His friendship with Simon was wonderful, perhaps my favourite dynamic in the entire fic. His characterisation was also very fitting for the fic, and it really felt like you let him be a character in his own right instead of just Wille's coven member/Simon's friend.

20. Dream fanfic about a secondary character and pairing that you’d love to read but don’t want to write yourself

Answered here.

21. Most underrated character/ship/actor overall

Answered here.

Phew, that was all of them! This was so much fun, thank you again for giving me this opportunity to ramble.

Tears and fire

Ya girl wrote this instead of prepping for Psych exams, cause ram is the LOML

“For the last time Ram!! You can’t throw yourself into situations WHERE YOU CAN DIE!!”

“I HAD A PLAN!!

“JUMPING OFF A BURNING BRIDGE WITH ONE ROPE AROUND YOUR WAIST WAS A PLAN!!???”

Ram slumped at that realizing that, in hindsight, he should have come up with a better idea, but damn if he admitted that to her. She’d hold it over his head for eternity he knew. Exhaling deeply, he said, “Y/n the boy was going to die. I was there, I was in a place to save him, so I did. It’s as simple as that.”

Y/n scoffed at that/ It was “as simple as that’? Really? Did he not know that he couldn’t keep pulling stunts like this anymore. He had someone else in his life, for god’s sake. Someone who actually cared for him, someone whom he ahad a responsibility of coming home safe to. 

Tears pricked at y/n eyes as she recalled every time Ram had come home bloodied and bruised. Every time he moved, grimacing, because of another riot, another fight. This incident was just the tipping point for her fear to come spilling out. 

Realising that she would start crying if she stood there longer, y/n quickly turned away from him, wiping away at the few ears that were threatening to spill over.

“Y/n-”

“Don’t Ram. Just don’t. When you clearly aren’t going to listen to anything I say, I’m not going to spend my energy trying to make you.”

Ram felt a crack in his heart. They’d had arguments before, but nothing to the point where she looked so…………defeated. Never to the point where he’d seen tears in your eyes. There was far too heavy a weight on his chest from watching her eyes well up. Before he could open his mouth to say something, his wife glanced at the clock in the wall.

“I’m going to go make chai. You’ll be in our room?”

Ram’s throat was frozen, unable to speak after hearing the wobble in your voice. He could only manage to say, “I’ll-I’ll be here.”

She nodded, back still towards him.

Y/n should have been more careful. The whole time in the kitchen all she could think of was Ram. Ram and his stupid, self-sacrificial tendencies. Ram and his stubbornness to ignore his own pain. Ram and his recklessness towards himself. The first time he’d come home bleeding from god knew how many injuries, barely able to walk. All the times she’d had to patch him up, only to watch him again go to work.

The tears seemed to have a life of their own, because no matter how many times she wiped them away, they kept fogging up her eyes, causing her throat to hurt from the way she suppressed her sobs. 

And before she knew it, something extremely hot and boling fell all over her hand.

“AAHHHH!!”

Ram jumped at that, looking around frantically before realising it came from the kitchen- from y/n. Ram’s blood ran cold as he skidded into the kitchen, a million thoughts clamoring in his head. 

When he got there he almost collapsed. Y/n  with one hand red and shiny, clutching it to herself, tears freely streaming down her face. Almost losing all rational thought Ram dimly heard some part of his mind say, “Water”

Ram quickly wrenched a vessel from a shelf, going to the washroom to fill it up with water, thanking the gods above it was cold. Quickly filling it, he ran  back to where y/n was still sitting and gently submerged the burnt hand in the vessel. 

“What-how? What happened y/n?”

Y/n couldn’t speak for a few seconds, still crying, before taking a shaky breath and saying, “I-I was just making the chai and I was distracted and it spilled all over my hand.”

Ram winced at that, before feeling a flood of guilt overwhelm him. Hand locked with hers, he pulled it out of the water, taking her to a chair and getting the medicine box. 

Wrapping her hand in a bandage, he spoke, “Y’n- jaan I’m sorry, I’m so damn sorry.”

“Ram-”

“You were right. I can’t keep putting myself in positions where I could die. I can’t keep putting you through that. I ccan’t keep hurting you, and I hate that it’s taken you getting hurt to realise just how much hurt I’ve put you through. I’m sorry jaana, I’m so, so sorry”

Y/n could feel another flood of tears. Except this time they weren’t of sadness. They were from the utter, indescribable amount of love she felt for this man, looking at her like she’d hung the moon and stars for him. Pulling him into an embrace she felt him relax, hands coming around her, pressing her to him. 

“It’s ok bangaram. I’m ok. Just- just try not to die, yeah? I’d hate to be a widow so soon.”

I know that if I start studying for Latin earlier in the week I would do better but we just move so fast that by the time I've learned something we've moved on. Today our quiz was on a video she emailed us on Wednesday night. I'm pretty sure I made a B but there's just no time to study for something like that that quickly.

Looking forward to the weekend but not looking forward to exams next week.

Day 16/100

Made it to the coffee shop! I got a cold brew and a yogurt parfait and then got in over two hours of accounting work! After the coffee shop, I went and ran errands, watched two episodes of Russian Doll and two episodes of Criminal Minds, and ended the day by going to my college's football game. Sadly we lost by three but I enjoyed watching the game and getting to hang out with my friends :)

I don't know if it's because I had two coffees today or if it's because I'm sick but I have been so dizzy all day. I hope I'm over this sickness soon. The good news is that my throat no longer hurts!!

Today I had social psychology and advanced accounting. In accounting I got my exam from last week back and ended up making a 102! It was the 2nd highest score in the class so I'm pretty darn happy about that. Tomorrow I have a Latin exam and so I went to a Latin study session and then obsessively wrote every possible way to write a noun or a verb over and over again for two hours in the hopes of having it memorized by tomorrow. Luckily going to the study session means I'll get five bonus points on the exam which gives me some wiggle room to make mistakes.

Here's another shot of my school's library. I love taking pictures of the library especially since my room and desk are a mess and I don't have the motivation to clean it lol. Maybe later this week I'll get it cleaned up. Hope everyone is having a good week so far!!

Back in the library! I could not focus or stay awake while trying to study for my developmental psych exam tomorrow. So I called it quits after about an hour and decided I’d go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow. But we’ll see if that actually happens haha.

It’s officially cold. Last week we had highs of 85°F/29°C and now it’s 33°F/0°C and that’s just too drastically different. To the library tonight I wore sweat pants over my leggings as well as a tee shirt, a sweat shirt, and a jacket. If I had a hat I’d put that on too but alas. At least I’ll get to wear a sweater tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone this upcoming week :)

Another productive day! I went to the gym this morning for a light workout, went to both my classes, studied in the campus library for almost two hours, and then went to dinner with friends. I'm currently watching an episode of "The Sandman" and then it'll be back to studying. So overall, a very pleasant day!

2121 - 1221

The Angel Number 2121 means inner peace and spiritual harmony.  The Angel Number 1221 is a message from your guardian angels: they are with you, to support and guide you through a new beginning, a new phase in your life. 

These angel number are really important to me.

Firstly I noticed the latter: it was the time of the day in which the boy I’ve been dwelling on restlessly all spring and summer, finally delievered his photography class exam - which, really, was a tale about what actually happened to him on my birthday, last day of August. I had been upset with him about his no show, overthinking and convincing myself he just didn’t care enough to come - my mistake. While I’d been crying hysterically about him being a lying asshole, he truthfully was stuck in his room, quarantining for two whole weeks, burning with a virus-fueled fever. Piling my pride and my bitterness, I stared at the pictures, hit like a deer in the headlights: all the tears and distress and reeking anger I felt for one whole week were a projection of my own pessimistic expectations, none of it was ever real. He had never meant to hurt me. And maybe that, that last, shattering reality-check, after a whole summer away from him, had actually happened exactly as intended: a cleanse, before a new beginning. 

21:21 appeared to me in a setting that, to this day, I find hard to believe really ever happened: he had finally built the courage (or sheer curiosity, who knows?) to ask me out on a late night date at a pub - and there we were, anything but sober, speaking softly to each other, pretty faces chiselled by the shadows from the low orangish lights, jazz music and club remixes playing faintly above our heads. It wasn’t the first time we hung-out past the sunset, but it sure was the first time we hadn't picked any excuse to camouflage the genuine wish to see each other - alone, together. I checked the time on my phone, and squealed under my breath, greeted with yet another reason to believe I was, in fact, right: we’re meant to be together in this universe. That night I told him in poetic fashion I’d had a thing for him ever since I met him, and as pleasantly as unexpectedly I've been met by a blushy laughter and his beautiful smile - but oh, his smile is deceptive. As always, he drifted me so well from getting his thoughts on the matter, and after that night we haven’t really spoken about it again. It’s not that easy, being in love with your university coursemate: he found his way to claim the seat next to me everyday since that day, but that's been a habit of ours for months now - what’s not an habit, however, is the suddent inability to speak to each other we've been hit with, that’s killed our every convo since that night. I know I’m chickening away, but so is he. 

These past few days I’ve felt vulnerable: everything feels realer after telling him, and although I trust him, I’ve already used up all my cockiness. I’d decided I’d give him time, but really, for once I was the one needing it. Tonight, after days of lingering flashbacks and dead-end hypothesis, I checked the time on my desktop, and there it was: 2121. Guess I’ll take the hint, then.

March 19 2023

Wow it’s been a month and 2 weeks (???????) since I’ve been on here and so much stuff has happened !!!!!! who would’ve thought so much can happen in a month and few days ? NOT ME ! but March 17 was Trae (he’s no longer called AirPods guy bc he has up graded LOL)and I ONE month anniversary as BFGF and so far it’s been such a sweet journey.

He would come to visit me at school whenever he’s free and when it’s a day that I have more free time, he makes sure to come so that way we can spend more time together and on Tuesday March 21 he’s coming to see me !!!!! I’m so excited we get to spend one day together this week bc last week was Spring Break and we couldn’t hang out bc obv my parents would’ve known and idk how would I come up with an excuse of that, but I’m SO excited that I want to see him already !

He keeps saying he wants to marry me and the idea of marriage kinda scares me bc I don’t want to go thru what my parents are going thru which is an unhappy marriage full of constant fights and it’s so annoying. So I told him yesterday night that I do want to marry him in the future but I don’t know when and he said that if I end up not marrying him in the end then he’ll leave USA and I said for him not to say that bc I never said I didn’t want to marry him bc I DO want to marry him, but not this soon, I’m only 23 and yeah I know some people already marry before that and have kids but I don’t want that so soon, maybe 5 to 8 years later I would. So I told him that he’s making me feel pressured and rushed and that I don’t like that bc I’m not the type of person to rush and I just take things little by little bc I don’t like being overwhelmed and he apologized. Plus he doesn’t force me into something that I don’t want to do so therefore he shouldn’t pressure me into rushing to marry him. I am happy as we are now and I want to take it slow.

Other than that, I gave him another letter (I gave him a small letter before this during the first few weeks of dating) for our first anniversary and I haven’t asked him for his thoughts on it but I know he liked it bc he said he did but I would like to know in depth about how he feels.

He’s very physically affectionate and I love that a lot bc that’s my way of showing love too but he’s not clingy and not the jealous type either so that’s very good and he’s very straight forward too and enjoys teasing me a lot that it’s annoying but I like it bc it’s not the bad annoying it’s the good annoying that it’s fun LOL

He’s also a family person, so he FaceTime his parents and child often and he FaceTime his cousin too and they’re really close that he just calls her sister, and his cousin is so nice and hopefully I can meet her in person soon and same with his parents and child.

He’s already a great dad to his son bc the videos of him and his child spending time together is so sweet like omg makes me want to cry lol , so I know his future child is gonna be spoiled lol bc he wants a daughter like omg he would talk about wanting a little princess! That’s so cute !

He’s also been paying for our meals whenever we eat together which is so sweet of him. But he really is a sweet guy and I hope to have a future with him that him and I will cherish a lot. It’s funny how I said I didn’t want to date him at all and if I did then it would be after I graduate but here I am dating him and I don’t graduate until August 2023 LOL

I pray all my classes are finished with 85 above and that I pass all my Board Exams too bc those are expensive $275 PER SECTION LIKE WHO HAS THAT TYPE OF MONEY AND FIRST OF ALL WHY IS IT SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE FOR ?!?!?!!?!!??!?! I THINK IT’s ONLY 80 QUESTIONS TOO AND YOU GET ONE HOUR TO FINISH LIKE WHAT DJOASJDSDJKHAHDSJKJHDJLDIHCIOSACJHFJCBDAKJHCKUCHJAKEHKJHEWC GONNA CRY SO I PRAY I PASS ALL 3 SECTIONS

PRAYING HARD BC THIS SEMESTER WAS ROUGH

So nervous for tmr internship at the dental office 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Praying everything goes smooth 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭

Jibade

"A golden touch, a golden curse, it is my quirk."

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Human / Mummy

Blood Type: O+

Height: 5’7

Weight: 139 lbs

Birthday: August 13th

Personality: Curious, Reserved, Humble, Supportive

Likes: Honey, Jewelry, hanging with others, karaoke, fresh linen, silks, and bees

Dislikes: Cold weather, getting dirty, 'return the slab' jokes, being by himself for extended periods, sycophants

Origins: For BNHA, as such i'll post his BNHA related quirks and powers first but he can be put in other stuff with minor alterations

Background

Jibade is a Quirk user hailing from Egypt, joining the World Heroes Association though later on traveled to Japan to learn of the other nation's heroes and promote good will. Though after long hard fought exams and other rising factors including aiding to taking down a small crime ring in his home turf and a rising to be super villain, Jibade was passed and made an official pro hero. He now travels between other hero leagues to help out and promote good will and unity between nations.

Personality

Jibade is reserved in his manner of speaking, using polite terms, honorifics titles such as 'Sir', and typically downplays his own involvement in anything. This is more of a 'face' he wears to keep up appearances and to ensure good will. Though beneath the facade he's rather laid back preferring to hang out with others doing small off time things such as karaoke bars or antique shopping. And when he's with people he's closed to he drops the polite terms and addresses them more bluntly and warmly.

In battle he does his best to keep a level cool head so his own Quirk doesn't go out of it, and seeks more to detain others and set up others for success. He goes by the heroic name of Vizier though he freely admits its mostly because he can't think of a 'cool' name for it and his backup was Mummy Man which he thinks is too bland even for him. And more misleading than anything.

He has a passing interest in bee keeping and has a fondness for honey, which is the main reason for his interest. And though he is one to downplay his own achievements he is also quick to remind others that being a Hero is to help others, and finds those who are heroes and using it for the 'perks' to be a bit more of a headache than he'd like to admit.

Powers

Quirk: The Golden Curse - Jibade's quirk is an Emitter type quirk known as The Golden Curse. Anything he touches with his bare hand becomes covered in a thin layer of gold. This golden layer vastly increases the weight of anything it coats and makes it an excellent conductor. However it does prevent others from breathing, and it can only coat living tissue for a set duration of 40 minutes where inorganic material lasts for two hours. This quirk is always 'on' thus he wraps his hands in specialize linen that disrupts it and

Equipment

Vizier's Linens - A specialize linen made with help, this linen have the properties of being able to stop his quirk from affecting things he doesn't want it to affect, as well as spreading his Quirk to the edges of it. He uses these linens to help fight by using them to detain others by throwing them out and then using his quirk to harden the edges as weapons or to bind them.

Strengths

Quirk is good for detaining others and setting up those who can use gold's conductivity to aid their own quirks

Adaptive able to change plans on the fly and make due with what they have

A good knowledge of bee keeping

Humility helps prevent him from getting too full of himself

Weakness

Not a good direct combatant

Quirk can be used against him as gold is conductive and blows back on him

General aloofness and politeness may make him seem more haughty than intentional

Wednesday, May 22nd

It has been a while! After finals, which ended April 30th, I got into a depressive episode. I attend a very challenging school (when applying to Uni, all classes I take - even regular ones - are considered AP) which takes a lot out of me, emotionally, and physically. I didn't do well in finals and even dropped out of one of my honours classes (targeted for Med school applicants). After that, I just felt like a complete failure. My sister came back from Uni for summer, and she's excelling at everything, she got a 4.0 GPA and is already really inserted into her industry, all in her Freshman Year. I'm so very proud of her! At the same time, it's hard not to compare myself. Right now, I'm trying to focus on the small wins. I got 100% in all the Maths exams (six of them) I took last term! I got the highest grade I've ever gotten in Chem. Slowly, but surely, I'll get there. This week, my goal is not to spend all day rotting in bed, I want to go back to the gym, for both my mental and physical health, and fall back into my studying schedule since midterms have already re-started. I have exactly a month left before break (June/21) which will be very much appreciated! I'll have a month off, and school will return in August, already kicking off with two mocks and two weeks of finals 😅. With good planning, I can still turn it around and do my best for the rest of the year. Currently, I am failing two subjects - which is FAR from ideal, but considering I take 18 classes, it could be much worse. My focus this month is to try and get the best grades possible on the midterms for these subjects (Philosophy and Biology) so I'm a bit less stressed once finals come around. Also, doing well on my mocks can boost my grade by 10%! I have one this Saturday and I am revising as much as I can to have this bonus to fall back on, in case all else fails. Honestly, I have zero motivation, am exhausted, and still completely depressed. The only thing keeping me going is, ironically, my anxiety. Be a failure only now or be a failure forever? I'm doing the best I can (which I am aware is not nearly enough) every day, taking some notes during class and getting my homework done. I'll try and update more often!

[kun-summacumlaude]

SUMMA CUM LAUDE? #22

I've done it again.

August 21, 2024. Second Semester and 300 Level both ended on the 9th of August, but this is my first post for the semester. An extremely eventful semester with a not so fairytale ending.

This semester, I wanted to be everywhere, in and out of school. Force myself to manage my time and juggle this and that. Expand a bit. I got off to a great start, getting things done here and there. Weddings, meetings, classes, assignments, service, it was going well. You're expecting to find out where it went wrong right? Well, sorry because even I don't know. Conclude however you like based on what I tell you.

12 Courses. 3 Units (1), 2 Units (9) and 1 Unit (2). 23 Units in total. The goal remained the same: get as many As as possible (which means get all As). We were warned about this semester, a semester with one stumbling block here and there but the only one I was initially really worried about was EEG325 - Digital Design of Logic Systems. Why? The lecturer was known for failing students and giving lots of Cs and Ds and Es and Fs. His reason was ridiculous when he said it in class, although he did something somewhat surprising during our exam. I won't judge until I see results, but his ways are nonsensical, let it be known.

2nd Semester, filled with a slow and steady build up to an explosive disaster.

My Laptop and Computer Village

I don't recall talking about the pain that is my laptop but I am certain I must have mentioned it prior to this moment. Slow and frustrating. After my screen decided to give up on me at the climax of last semester I got it repaired at a friend's dad's shop at Computer Village. 65K. Fine.

Early in the semester, Dr Ogboi came in for Software Development Techniques and Machine Learning (SDT & ML, two courses this semester). Told us we would need Visual Studio for C++, SQL, Java and Eclipse, PyCharm, MATLAB and R and RStudio. You can imagine what was going through my head, was I about to dive into suffering throughout the semester with the HDD in my laptop. The time had finally come to upgrade right? HDD to SSD, increase the RAM and all would be well.

The explosion began to build up that day, but I did not know. Got the SSD on a Friday the 10th of May 2024. That same day, I got to my house and my laptop started beeping. It told me to replace the hard drive because it was faulty. My brother followed me to Computer Village to following day. It rained, I don't want to tell this story, but we suffered that day and eventually got them to replace the SSD with another one that was working (so I thought). As we progress, I will fill you in on what this laptop did to me all semester.

April and May were just little outings here and there. Birthday, wedding, all of that. June was when the real activity began, but you can't attend everything, so I chose the ones to participate in: Youth Week, Fathers' Day and ULES Sports Festival. I left out ULES Faculty Week and Sodeinde Hall Week to make sure I was still getting academic work done.

Due to my failure to update during the semester, the timeline is foggy and I wasn't exactly recording these things as they happened so I'll just try my best.

Youth Week and ULES Sports Festival

I wanted to be present in both of these events. And they did not just happen in one day, so I had to be present at church before that week and also be present at training at training. Usually during the weekends. So in the earlier parts of the semester, a lot of my weekends were usually spent at home or a slice at sports centre. If I attended training, I would still study but if I went home something always happened that prevented my studying.

Till now, I don't know 100% but I am sure enough that the SSD I got is faulty. My Laptop crashed and crashed and crashed... I spent so much time reading up community help for Microsoft and Dell because of this issue. I would go home for one church program and be unable to study because every crash meant I had to reinstall windows or reset my PC, which always led to a loss of my apps or my files and so I would spend the entire weekend re-downloading my Windows and Apps so I would have them for the following week in school. This happened over and over again. What apps by the way? The ones Dr Ogboi had me download for his courses. Guys this was throughout the semester, I'm on holiday now and I am not free from it yet.

It seems funny because you would think once I found of the cause I would be able to avoid it, but this thing came in different shapes and sizes. It seemed like file transfer issue, battery issues, RAM issues, it just kept on crashing in diverse ways and so I could never place my finger on the actual problem which is why I believe it's the SSD. I informed the Computer Village guy, but I did not want to keep on going there, it was obvious these guys were dealing defective goods. After some time, the response was "Ha", WHAT?!

So for the youth week and sports festival, I could not do much studying to be honest. This was week one in June. And by the way, SEES absolutely dominated the ULES Sports Festival, and our kit was so beautiful, I had to buy it.

Father's Day

This was June 16 this year. I had been going home during the weekends prior to this one for preparations with the Royal Ambassadors. I was commanding the parade for this occasion. This weekend my laptop also crashed, which meant I couldn't do much studying or any at all because of the reinstallation. I should also mention that the reinstallation required quite an amount of data because some of the apps had to be downloaded from scratch all the time. Father's Day went well and because exams were just a month away with no sign of any postponement, I told my friend that was the last bit of activity outside of exams for me because I had a lot of covering to do so I wouldn't get caught lacking during the exams.

Everybody do "hmmm"

July 1, 2024 10:55PM

Just two weeks after Father's day, my last side quest for the semester, I did something:

WHAT?!?!?! When did I become a politician? Elections????? How did this happen? I opened our student portal just before the deadline for the election applications and applied to be the Vice President of SEES. #Kunle4VP. Why did I do this? I felt it would be a good experience and this was also part of my getting more involved in school activities. I didn't have long term plans for this, but I needed to step out of my comfort zone. I had been contributing here and there in the department, so I believed it was time to do even more. Honestly you could say I was just being an agent of chaos and be correct because someone was already vying for that role even from my class but I did not care at that point. I wanted to be VP. Big mistake ladies and gentlemen. I 100% should have stayed away from the portal that night.

The election period was basically two weeks. The first week I had a project to complete on Monday and I had tests every other day of the week. Week 1 was basically trying to get support from various levels and put plans and the campaign together so I could go all out in Week 2. Isn't this crazy? I had no plans and had to cook up a lot of stuff in such short amount of time. I knew I was running from a losing position, but I wanted to try anyways. I've been saying "I" so much but it's about me so haha. I did election stuff and I also did studying because how else would I pass my tests? Two of those tests I didn't cover everything I was supposed to cover and I lost huge amounts of marks in both because I couldn't attempt them at all. I was now fully in a remontada mode even before concluding all tests prior to the exams. Weekend of Week 1, instead of studying after volleyball practice, what did I do? I went to ISL to watch Year 1 and Year 2 SEES play football matches because I was trying to get support for the elections. How crazy is that?! I was now a real politician because what on earth was I doing there. I thought I was done with extra curriculars but see me for goodness sake. Unbelievable stuff. Week 2 of the elections was nothing short of an academic lack of focus. Fine, the election held on that Friday (and then Saturday, it got re-done because Unilag servers were too poor) and so I needed to go all out. Going all out meant wrapping up the campaigns, manifesto hearings and putting plans in place for the election day. This meant spending ridiculous amounts of time on election stuff and little time on preparing for my exams. Are we seeing this? Yes. Was I doing something that should be encouraged? Absolutely but you can do the right thing but at the wrong time or you just go about it in the wrong way. This was really close to exams, so a rapid-fire approach wasn't really proper to be honest.

For the record, I had really good plans because my team really believed in me and I in them and I looked forward to implementing those plans. I lost the elections. Later, maybe in the next post. I will do some reflection on how I really felt about these two weeks after my exams. It was now time to face exams once and for all abi, hehe nope. One more activity.

ARB Quiz Grand Finale

Yeah remember the ARB Quiz from First Semester, the Grand Finale happened on the day of the rerun of the election. Are you whining Vice Presidential Candidate???

It was on a Saturday. The hall was empty but that didn't stop us. Hearing from the ARB guys that day, I knew I had to be part of them from next session. I love this vision. So the Quiz, we had to replace one of our fresher starboys with someone from 2000 Level. The quiz was really bad for us (Computer Engineering). Everything went well in the preliminaries, but the final was a disaster. Electrical & Electronics Engineering was on fire by the way, they were unbelievable. So it's the final round (General Knowledge). Chai, I just tried to recall the exact comeback we made but I can't remember, this hurts. Oh well, we were dead last going into the final round. Electrical & Electronics had already won. It was Metallurgical and Materials, System, Chemical and Computer fighting for 2nd and 3rd. You could exclude us and be right because we needed to get all questions right and hope others failed theirs in order to finish in a position. We managed to do just that. Thank God, we left there with something.

Finally, it was just me and my exams. Reality hit me like nothing else. I'll conclude the semester in #23. Byeeeeee.
