My world's main agriculture is farming but I'm wondering if that's truly viable in terrain that's not ideal for growing stuff. Though I am certainly having the world be advanced enough to have greenhouses and so on but nothing too fancy other than some rudimentary GMO. With greenhouses, I assume the majority of land could possibly be used - including desert/polar regions. Just as long as they can transport all their needed supplies.
Ebonwing: If so much of your terrain is unsuited to farming that they’d have to build greenhouses everywhere, why would the main agriculture be farming? In areas where farming crops isn’t feasible, people have traditionally found other ways of feeding themselves, often by having animal herds and maintaining diets based on meat and dairy.
Tex: Arable land depends on soil fertility. While it’s true that this is climate-dependent, there are, for example, plants that grow in both the Arctic and the desert. There is currently an interest in some farmers adopting no-till farming due to more research being conducted on soil microbiology (Nature portfolio).
Successful agriculture is heavily dependent upon the health of the soil and the greater biome. Greenhouses are a popular concept for alleviated perceived issues with the production of crops, but also have issues with decreased microbial diversity, something that plants need in order to be healthy (Legein et al.). Accordingly, this microbial diversity has a perceptible impact on human health (PDF Samiran &  van der Heijden).
Genetic engineering is a new field and has only recently been involved in agriculture, with selective breeding of animals and plants the predominant method of cultivating desired characteristics the typical preference of farmers, when they have not opted for domestication.
What are your world’s main goals for agricultural production? How many people are they feeding, how many animals are they feeding, and what is the general density of these populations? What does an ideal diet look like? Is the food mostly equivalent in quality and accessibility across all social strata, or are there visible disparities? What are their major obstacles in reaching these goals? Agriculture does have a side effect on the environment, particularly with the use of tilling and chemical applications - the natural biome is altered, and sometimes permanently. When over-used and improperly maintained, it can create inhospitable environments (Wikipedia).

Licorice: “Agriculture” derives from the Latin for “cultivation of fields”; “ager” is a field, and an ”agricola” is a farmer. So agriculture = farming. Agriculture is defined as “the practice or work of farming” by the Cambridge Online Dictionary; other dictionaries give a similar definition. 
The first time I read your query, I thought you meant your world was one where little or none of the terrain was suitable for growing stuff. However, on a second reading, it seems your question is more along the lines of “how do the inhabitants of marginal land produce their food”? If that’s the case, then it sounds to me as if your world is a lot like Earth. 
Human beings have settled in just about every environment on earth, adapting their lifestyles and diets to the local conditions. Some regions of earth have traditionally produced an abundance of food and been well suited to farming; others have not, and in those cases the indigenous people have generally relied on hunting and gathering for their food. Some places, like the Welsh Hills or the slopes of the Alps, are more suited to animal husbandry than to the cultivation of crops. And, of course, there was a time when the different regions and human societies of Earth each had their own unique food crops. 
There’s been a lot of interest in greenhouse farming in the Arctic, but as far as I know it remains small-scale and somewhat experimental. That could change.
https://www.arcticwwf.org/the-circle/stories/bringing-leafy-greens-to-northern-sweden/
And of course the inhabitants of your world will be trading with each other. Regions that produce a lot of fish will salt it and trade it with regions that produce a lot of wine or spices. Tea can be exchanged for gold. Maybe potatoes are abundant but wheat is a luxury? And so on; it’s up to you to decide what your world’s most precious food commodities are..

“IS IT REALLY THAT STRANGE IF I ALWAYS WANT TO CHANGE?”
INTRODUCING…
NAME: Elizabeth ‘Eliza’ Noelle Dragonetti
GENDER & PREFERRED PRONOUNS: Cis woman {She/Her}
AGE: 28
BIRTHDAY: January 17, 1996
ZODIAC: Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon, Sagittarius Rising
SEXUALITY: Queer - doesn’t necessarily want to label herself
FACE CLAIM: Florence Pugh
LABEL: The Wanderess
OCCUPATION: Travel food blogger/Chef
HOMETOWN: Brighton, UK
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Cole, WY
CHARACTER PLAYLIST: HERE.
UP NEXT: “PIERRE” BY RYN WEAVER
BIOGRAPHY: TW EATING DISORDER MENTION, PERFECTIONISM, SELF IMAGE, CBT
Being born across the pond, Eliza was the product of Giselle Caldwell and Lucian Dragonetti. With the status that both names held in the UK, it was no surprise that Eliza was held to some pretty high standards. This didn’t hinder the young girl from sword fighting with her father and slaying dragons, to dancing around in the garden in her bare feet. To a degree, it was her father who filled her head with wonder and fairytales. Seeing that he was an architect with a love for art history, Eliza was always told lore (mostly Greek Myth) as a means of bedtime stories. Eliza’s mother, Giselle, also paved a way for the young girl’s imagination and love for creativity due to being a professional ballerina for the Royal Ballet.
As Eliza grew older, the seasons of the Dragonetti family have changed. Her father retired and became a professor at Cambridge, whilst her mother was an instructor at the Royal Ballet due to growing out of her prime. At this point, the pressure of molding the young girl were at a 10. She was pushed academically by her father, and her mother so badly wanted Eliza to follow in her steps to where she was a part of a track dance academy that set her up for the Royal Ballet. Eliza wanted to badly to be a professional dancer. Not only due to her admiration of her mother, but because the second she saw The Nutcracker, she wanted nothing more than to be Clara. Even as she was taken out of school along with her sister to focus more on their dancing careers, she saw nothing wrong with trading the normalcy for being home schooled by her father. There was more academic pressure with that arrangement, along with the growing pressures in the dance studio.
With perfection being an overall theme in the realm of ballet, and without having a genuine escape from it at home, Eliza wound up struggling with her self image to the point of an ED. When she realized her sister was going through the same thing, she attempted to escape the world of dance. It seemed unlikely due to her mother retiring from the Royal Ballet to open her own studio in Brighton. It wasn’t until she was in high school, the cracks in the glass became a full shatter when everything became too much. To top it off, she discovered her family wasn’t as picture-perfect as they may have seemed to those looking in from the outside; knowledge of her mother having have had an affair caused Eliza to rebel completely. She dropped out of competitive dance and sold her ballet shoes, which broke her mother’s heart. The blonde went out of her way to get help, attending CBT in order to mend her broken pieces in some way. Through all of this, Eliza was able to find a passion in the realm of cooking. Not sure of her own identity anymore; her whole life being designed by her parents’ hopes and dreams rather than her own, Eliza took to the road at the age of 18 in order to find herself, and hasn’t looked back since. She’s gained quite the attention online for her travel food blog - her passion of being able to learn first-hand about other cultures as well as connect with people around the world now her sole income. Eliza found herself in Cole due to her sister getting in contact and getting her here; it’s an odd feeling, but it reminds her of Brighton in some ways.
EXTRA-EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT HER!
Eliza never liked her full name, and has discarded it by the time she was 6; another aspect that upset her mother, but Elizabeth just sounded too proper for the woman. She’s up for anything, and never one to turn down a good time. Eliza is fluent in four languages; Latin, Italian, French and Greek. She wants to learn more Spanish, and knows a bit conversationally - the same goes for Sign Language. Eliza is usually the first one to volunteer to assist another individual, and she’s genuine in doing so. She’s known to stray from the group when out on the town, and befriending new people she comes in contact with. It’s easy for her to build connections, but it’s hard for her to maintain them; seeing that she’s just as great as disappearing as Houdini was. It’s funny because she tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, only for that to wind up being a facade once she gets intimate with someone. Humorous, bright, and free-spirited, Eliza can be the life of the party but she also can rein in back in order to have a more lax day. She is known to love the rain, and sort of just kicks her shoes off to go dance in it. She can play guitar, and loves to strum in order to self-soothe. Eliza also utilizes dance as a creative outlet, but she tends to work in her sister’s studio privately. She also finds her creatively booming in the kitchen, and is always coming up with new food combinations that she loves to share with everyone. Her fervent personality makes her prone to flight as opposed to fight - this also goes hand-in-hand with her impulsivity. She’s always craving to learn new things, and she frequents book shops. Eliza has a whole collection of books from her travels, and she annotates them with her thoughts and highlights through them the parts that genuinely moved her. She’s very enthralled with passion; if someone is passionate, she’s like a moth to a flame. Eliza is prone to igniting people as well, only to leave. She’s trying to figure out who she is, so she does tend to switch up every now and again, but she finds it fun to explore new sides of herself. Overall, she’s just a fun time and trying not to take herself or life too seriously at the moment.
PERSONALITY:
+ Adventurous, Passionate, and Exuberant
- Restless, Intangible, and Foolhardy

I know a few fellow Ontarians read my blog, so this is for you: I discovered a wonderful family-run shop in Kitchener, ON, that has a great variety of Eastern European food, from smoked fish and adjika to candies and rye breads. One day I'll drive there (it's about a 3 hours drive from my town) and buy frozen and chilled stuff, but for now, I ordered candies - exactly the candies that I had in my Soviet childhood :) They ship Canada-wide!

Just did that test and scored 163 - which should let you know what utter, utter BOLLOCKS these online tests are where it’s virtually impossible to fail.
Tumblr media
80 questions with a maximum possible score of 240 and only requiring 65 points to be considered autistic ... in other words you only need a pass rate of TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT!
Tumblr media
Good god, even the worst redbrick British University of Bums On Seats run by the biggest sharks outside of a automobile showroom wouldn’t have the brass neck to call twenty seven percent a pass mark.
The ‘average’ of 54% is even more risible, considering so many of the questions are earlier ones asked again in a different way, some of them so nonsensical that people are inclined to answer ‘both ways’ in order to ‘balance’ their overall answers out.
This is a standard trick by dishonest stats compilers wanting to get the ‘correct’ answer in order to push a particular premise - hence the phrase ‘lies, damned lies and statistics’. Political parties and shit governments pull this sort of stunt all the time to justify the unjustifiable. As the old joke goes, you can tell if someone's a pollster because if you ask them what 2+2 is, they'll reply 'what would you like it to be?'
The massive rise in people being diagnosed with ‘autism’ has everything to do with the fifth edition of the ‘bible’ of psychiatric medicine - Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (aka DSM) - deciding to ‘fold’ Asperger’s and multiple other ‘syndromes’ (especially the highly ambiguous Pervasive Developmental Disorder) which had all only been introduced into the manual in 1994 into one ‘catch all’ term called Autism Spectrum Disorder in 2013, often shorted to plain old ‘autism’, even though the original designation was far different to the original.
There has been accusations ever since that time this was done largely as a result of ‘incentivisation’ by pharmaceutical companies and the likes of the National Institute of Mental Health which stood to make massive profits or increased research grants from a sudden rise in people being diagnosed positively, and whose shares in certain cases were in danger of collapse due to societal changes meaning the end of both the AIDS ‘boom’ and the projected decline of lung cancer rates (vaping - with all the new problems it entails - was at that time insignificant ...).
Why the f**k else do you think 'Autism' diagnoses have risen in the last two decades a mere 787 per cent!
[Source: University of Exeter, University of Cambridge, University of Bath]
For the benefit of all you geeks and nerds out there, yes that's the same NIMH the author Robert C. O'Brien was warning you kids out there about way back in 1971. Penny beginning to drop yet these people are not your friends?
Tumblr media
You can prove any old shit in the world if you move the goalposts, load the dice, etc. to suit yourself. Hucksterism is at an all time in the health care sector precisely because a lot of the checks and balances used to rid the world of snake oil peddlers and quacks have been removed across first world's legislatures in the name of 'profit'.
If you think that's cynical, let's start with the basics, shall we? Ask any pharmacist how much of your over-the-counter aspirin is actual aspirin and how much is just chalk, flour or lactose (cutely called 'bulking agent').
Why else do you think every second person you know under 40 is somehow on one pill or another in an era where the food we eat to the air we breathe is actually the healthiest it's been in half a century (which, by the way is the 'cure' for most illnesses, physical and mental. The human body's capacity to self heal given the correct nutrients took a mere six million years of evolution to achieve)
The medical industry has become a shareholder-centric profiteering racket, and your welfare is the least of their concerns. It's not because they're evil: it's because in a capitalist society where market forces are the only real law left, they have no choice but to have all the amorality of a The Last Of Us character or British Rail customer services.
Hence why so many of the questions on that questionaire are not merely downright dishonest, but fail to take into account social trends, especially those linked to the old chestnut about 'autistic' people having problems with empathising with others.
Guess what, idiots,that's as alarmingly normal as it gets!
Tumblr media
We've turned into a society of self centred bratty 'me me me' little bastards over the last half century - and that has zero to do with any mental health pandemic or other made up woo-woo and everything to do with the creation of a society of consuming-fixated narcissists obsessed with fixing everything we think's 'wrong' with us whilst paradoxically obsessing over our 'individuality', jumping onto every health fad and constantly demanding endless pats on the back and whatever 'adult candy' now fulfils the role valium once did in the 70s.
A society where we're so 'caring', half the time we don't even know who our next door neighbour is anymore and care even less, unless they're on Twitter. A society where we'd miss most of those we 'love's' 'birthdays if Moonpig hadn't f**king 'saved' them.
We have more empathy for z-list celebs, social media 'influencers' and shitpost bloggers than we do for those we encounter in real life. That's the 'norm'. Millions 'empathising' with people who wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.
Rise in autism? How the hell can anyone truly tell in a world where even bloody sociopathy is now the mainstream? It's not autism anyone should be worrying about, it's what's accepted for normality.
one of my beloved friends (very autism) was in.. not denial but ignorance sounds mean. but that abt themself last time you brought up the raads r test so i sent it to the gc (full of autism) and they were like psh. fake test no one could get below 100. they know now but i think about it so much
The thing is. When you take the autism test. And you see your score is in the 100 to 160 range. You think. Oh this is probably the middle? Middle autism. Tinge of autism. Your relatives calling you bright but shy autism. Just a whiff of autism. And then you see the score ranges. And you go. This test is lying to me there is absolutely no way the majority of people score under 65. The 65 number is such a low cutoff and so many of these experiences are clearly universal a score under 65 is something they made up in a lab. People who score under 65 are obviously scoring just under that mark from 59 to 64 and they’re also obviously lying or purposely misrepresenting their experiences as less severe than they are. And then you find out there are real people who get a 20 or 30 or 7 on it. And you go. Ah

The Different Types of Indian Cuisines
India is a diverse country with diverse cooking styles. What we commonly refer to as Indian cuisine is in-fact the combination of dishes and cooking styles from across the country. However, there are certain common features present in all forms of Indian cuisines. For example, all cuisines rely heavily on a diverse mix of spices and they all make use of legumes. Curry Palace is an Indian restaurant near Cambridge that serves a variety of cuisines that include Kashmiri, Bengali, Madrasi and many more.
Tumblr media
 The cuisine of each region is heavily influenced by its history. This includes its trade relations, past conquerors and religious and cultural practices. Explore the rich flavours and types of Indian cuisines at Curry Palace, the Indian restaurant in CB24. Some of the most prevalent types of cuisines are:
 North Indian Cuisine
This is the most prevalent form of Indian food. North Indian food has a strong Mughal influence that reflects the history of the region from which it originates. North Indian dishes are rich in dairy products and usually have moderately spicy and creamy gravies. Some of the common elements of North Indian cuisines are deep-fried snacks, grilled or roasted meat and curries that are prepared on a slow simmer.
youtube
Kashmiri Cuisine
This cuisine originates from the state of Jammu & Kashmir in the north of India and is heavily influenced by Asian and middle-eastern cooking styles. Kashmiri cuisine is also known for offering a variety of baked dishes such as kulchas and tsochvoru that originated from the region. Dishes from this cuisine are also rich in spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and fennel.
 BengaliCuisine
Known for its flavoursome seafood dishes, Bengali cuisine originates from the eastern subcontinent of India. It is heavily influenced by its proximity to the coastal region. This cuisine is known for multi-course meals that include everything from bitter starters to sweet desserts, covering a wide spectrum of flavour and taste.
 South Indian Cuisines
Also known as Madrasi food, the South Indian cuisine is known for its chutneys, pickles and dry curries. Another popular element of South Indian food is the papadam that is commonly offered as a side dish in most Indian restaurants. The three famous curries from this region are Sambars, rasams, and kootus.
 The Curry Palace offers Indian takeaway in Cambridge and prepares delectable food that retains the rich flavour and history of these cuisines. If you’re looking for quality Indian takeaway in CB24, Curry Palace is just the place for you.

do tell us abt your beef with "cottagecore" and "dark academia" tho :eyes emoji:
let's strap in real quick while i try to sum up all of my issues with these:
this is, in big part, due to a great distaste i have for this current of everything needing to have an 'aesthetic' (which is just hyper consumerism) and it operates like fast fashion. it's all performative and this idea that you need to have only one 'aesthetic' and stick to it is absurd and beyond stupid. this article by maria popova, which references a famous susan sontag article, sums it up well.
i'll go in order. so, dark academia.
the whole ethos and pull of the 'aesthetic' is this fantasy of studying literature in an "old" university, where you talk about art, beauty, literature and it's taken very seriously. the typical visual of the aesthetic is that you're studying at some ivy league school, oxford or cambridge, ect ect. this really blew up during the beginning of the pandemic where we were all attending classes over Zoom and asynchronously, i noticed. there's also this idea that there's something wrong or rotten going on under the surface, something deadly but very very serious and beautiful: at least that's how it's marketed in publishing.
the whole thing is founded on extreme elitism, classicism, intensely Eurocentric and sniffs of white supremacy. it's wish fulfillment based on something pretty terrible at the core and honestly: you really don't need to attend some ivy league school or older university to study literature. you can do that anywhere. a good article that goes into greater detail.
if you want to look at the evils that happen in any university setting, you can do that easily by looking at the sexual assault rates, the racism and violent misogyny and sexual violence of Greek Life on campuses, and racism. not hard, honestly. happens at elite and private schools, happens at public universities.
now cottagecore.
i think this is partially born out of a desire to escape corporate america and the exploitative labor force (which i sympathize with) and wanting to grow your own food and plants, which a lot of us started doing during the beginning of the pandemic. however: people do not realize that to work a farm or cottage is work. to grow your own food, mind your animals, and take care of your own home away from greater society is work and the way that wlw and lesbians have been 'designated' to this "aesthetic" reeks of traditional gender roles being forced on us. the images that may come up when you think of cottagecore also uh
ekes of a colonialist wet dream. it also rubs elbows with the wishes of the alt-right and where they want to force women back into.
this article details it well.
both of these popularized aesthetics reek of elitism, misogyny, and white supremacy but fake progressive.
this article also goes into the specifics of the issues with this brand of aesthetic:
Kimberly Jenkins, the founder of the Fashion and Race Database and Artis Solomon, thinks it’s an interesting time for this aesthetic to be embraced, following the return of many people to the urban environments they fled. She notes that much of the allure of many of these handcrafted things — made slowly and with integrity — is wrapped in layers of moral purity.
i can see the appeal in these two, but there's so much brushing off and ignoring of the ugly roots of these two (along with so many other "aesthetics")
my other beef with these two is how they've played a part in how now publishing is marketing literature based on tropes and aesthetics and it pisses me off because trying to tell me, "oh it's dark academia," "enemies to lovers" "very cottagecore" not only doesn't tell me jack shit about the book, it's shallow as hell. just because something is 'dark academia' doesn't mean i'm going to like it or enjoy it. same thing if you tell me, "it has lesbians."
great! is there literally anything else you can tell me about this piece of media. that's not enough for me to go on to spark my interest.
the performance of online aesthetics on places like tiktok, instagram, and twitter reeks not only of 2014 tumblr, it reeks of fast fashion. it's all consumerism and consumption.

rec listtttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
fair warning there’s a lot of different fandoms here—i have, uh. twenty-two pages of bookmarks. lots of newmann though, i promise. in no particular order, i give you a fic rec list
the future’s owned by you and me by kaiyen (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 7k, Not Rated)
Years after they stopped writing each other, Newt and Hermann run into each other on the steps of Cambridge University Library. Quite literally.
 Newt stares at him, expecting more. He doesn’t get any. “Come on, man, who are you? Maybe I’ve read something.”
 I doubt it, Hermann barely catches himself from saying. “Gottlieb. Hermann Gottlieb.”
 And Newt looks like he’s struck oil. “Oh my god,” he says, and something flickers behind his eyes, like there’s more than just recognition there, and before he can wonder any more about what it is, Newt blurts, “Oh my god!” and Hermann flinches and makes a face like a disgruntled frog.
What you can expect: emotions, opprotunities missed, and opprotunities taken. I absolutely adore this fic, though I might be biased by the fact that it has Newt as bipolar, and that’s something I always crave (more bipolar Newt fic when???).
Survival is for Nerds by Annabeelee (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 46k, Teen and Up)
It's three hundred and two years after humanity lost to the Kaiju and two hundred and twenty one since the Kaiju left. Not that it matters to Hermann. In relation to following a neurotic genetic experiment across whats left of the Northern American continent while dodging alien predators and hostile subgroups of humans, its possibly the least helpful thing to keep in mind.
What you can expect: scifi, tension, and a very intersting world. Post-apocalyptic, technically, but the way it’s written makes it almost hopeful. I love how the setting and writing makes it feel like a blend between victorian steampunk and futuristic in tone.
people can surprise you (or not) by pdameron (James Bond, James Bond/Q, 10k, Teen and Up)
“I’m not you, Bond. I don’t exactly have a technique for getting rich strangers to like me.”
“Just do your naive cute puppy thing, and they’ll be doting on you in no time,” Bond replies as he pulls up to the grand estate.
“My what?” Q asks incredulously. Bond doesn’t answer, simply giving him an indulgent smile. The fucker.
(or: 00q meets Gosford Park. Except not really.)
What you can expect: humour, murder, and some light espionage. Also, fake dating.
Infinite Distance by lachatblanche (X-Men, Erik Lensherr/Charles Xavier, 7k, Teen and Up)
When they encounter an unfamiliar and seemingly-abandoned ship in the middle of nowhere in space, Captain Charles Xavier of the spaceship Graymalkin heads out to investigate.
What you can expect: drama! Intruige! It’s set in space! I read this a while ago but I have memories of it being rather riveting despite the relatively short length.
Gertrude’s Goulash by lollzie (Gotham, Edward Nygma/Oswald Cobblepot, 7k, General Audiences)
Ed needs a new roommate. Oswald needs a room. Oswald may just be the most amazing person Ed has ever met. Shame he's not single. Cue wooing via the medium of cooking.
What you can expect: pining, misunderstandings, obliviousness, and a lot of goulash as a method of romancing.
Death Of The Author by happygolovely (Gotham, Edward Nygma/Oswald Cobblepot, 9k, Mature)
Edward Nygma was never intended to be anything more than a secondary character.
The Riddler demands otherwise.
What you can expect: a story within a story within a story. You think you have it figured out, and the next moment the carpet is yanked out from beneath you. Fairly dark, possibly disturbing, but my goodness if it’s not engaging.
we make our friends, we make our enemies by ORiley42 (Mission: Impossible, Benji Dunn/Ethan Hunt, 52k, Teen and Up)
Benji finds out he has a new neighbor. This new neighbor happens to be off-the-charts hot. Hijinks, friendship, more-than-friendship, and secret agent drama ensue.
What you can expect: pining. There’s spy stuff going on too, and it eventually gets brought up, but my gods, the pining. Also, it’s fucking hilarious, and, at just over fifty thousand words, the perfect read when you’ve got an hour or two and you want something that’ll make you both laugh and cry.
Self-Sabotage by EmilyweepsforPilfrey (James Bond, James Bond/Q, 2k, Teen and Up)
For some reason, whenever he's alone with Bond, the most ridiculous things come out of Q's mouth.
Or 'the one where Q accidentally invents a girlfriend'.
What you can expect: Q being an utter idiot. It’s hilarious. Nice quick bite of humour if you fancy it.
The Long Con by harleygirl2648 (Hannibal, Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter, 19k, Teen and Up)
There are two kinds of cons: long and short. Short cons mean short-term gain, with smaller rewards, mostly just everything you have in your pocket at that moment. Long cons mean lots of time, effort, costumes, masks, props, sets, and other characters all looking to set up the downfall of the mark and take them for all that they've got.
Con Artist/Thieves AU: Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter are both interested in acquiring a Botticelli, but both of them are quite fond of each other's short games. For both of them, it's the deception and thrill of the game that's worth more than the payout.
And well, after all, aren't the easiest people to scam are those who think they are smart enough to not get scammed?
What you can expect: no cannibalism, a lot of banter, and, of course, con artistry. Quite delightful if I do say so myself.
deus ex machina by coloredink (Hannibal, Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter, 26k, Teen and Up)
"What the hell?" said Katz.  "Is that--"
"Yeah, I know, it's kinda flashy."  Will shut the car door behind him and patted his pockets for the little fob to lock the car.
"Isn't that Hannibal Lecter's car?"
The car beeped to indicate it was locked.  "Yeah, I guess so."  Will walked away, toward the field, Katz on his heels.  "I needed a new car."
"So you bought the cannibal car?"
-----
You asked for it: the one where Hannibal is a murderous self-driving car.
What you can expect: what it says on the tin. Quite funny, especially with the element of magical realism meaning Hanni-car is sentient. The Hannigram is more vaguely implied than an actual thing, owing, probably, to the fact that Hannibal is, well, a car.
adapt, evolve, become. by peupeugunn (Alex Rider, Gen, 3k, Not Rated)
“This is how you get out. You're slowly moving towards a desk job.” A pause, then, “you know, most people do it the other way around.” Alex chuckles softly and and shuffles towards him to lean against his shoulder, burrowing into the crook of his neck. Ben’s arm winds around him, shields him from the world, a solid weight on his back. “You're going to miss the adrenaline rushes, kid.” There's something almost sad in his voice. Alex doesn't want to understand why. Down that road lies madness. 
What you can expect: a character study, in a bit of a roundabout way.
A Sharp Dressed Man by Avelera (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 12k, Teen and Up)
Hermann's latest book needs an author photo. However, when he's given a makeover and a suit that actually fits for the photo shoot, his appearance is so transformed that Newt mistakes him for his (much hotter) older brother, Dietrich.
Hermann decides to play along.
What you can expect: gods this fic is so good. It’s the first Newmann fic I ever read, and I’ve reread it a good six times since 2018. I would say more, but I think the fic speaks for itself.
Gestures by Actually_Crowley (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 7k, Teen and Up)
Newton finds out what Hermann does with his rare free time, but the discovery leads him to believe that Hermann honestly and unequivocally hates him. 
What you can expect: the rituals are fucking intricate. I love this fic so so so much. And the eventual reveal/confession...scream.
Fate’s Horrifying Ways (also known as: CHRISTMAS GODZILLA) by linearoundmythoughts (Pacific Rim, Newton Geislzer/Hermann Gottlieb, 4k, Teen and Up)
Your name is Newton Geiszler and you’re going to have to break things off with your sort-of online boyfriend because you’re cheating on him. Sort of. [AKA the most dramatic summary of a humorous crackfic ever ok]
Originally written for the Pacrim Secret Santa back in 2014.
What you can expect: first off, it’s not second person, I promise. It is, though, really fucking funny, owing to the misunderstandings that ensue. There’s much pining, some angsting, and, of course, humour.
Letters From Berlin by spenshi (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 12k, Teen and Up)
Newton keeps in touch with his family when he's shipped off to the Shatterdome. Jacob and Illia send care packages to the K-Science Lab. 
What you can expect: Geiszler-family feels. A lot of them. Also, Newt and Hermann slowly growing closer to until they can finally admit they’re into each other.
Wishbone by cypress_tree (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 8k, Teen and Up)
Hermann doesn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving, so Newt invites him over for food, family, and a little bit of flirting.  Just a warm, fuzzy college AU to get you through the holidays. 
What you can expect: fluff, softness, general feel-good fic. It’s really good, and it has Geiszler-family feels. Reading this fic is a bit like drinking hot cocoa on a cold day.
next days by catbeans (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 5k, Teen and Up)
Hermann had never felt an ache quite like this one, and he had felt plenty. He had been running on adrenaline first, and then on the necessity to keep running, pain and bone-deep exhaustion falling to such a low priority that he couldn't even consider it one anymore, and then it had stopped.
(the 18 hour nap date these guys deserve)
What you can expect: Newt and Hermann cuddling. A lot. That’s really it, that’s the fic. It’s 100% indulgent and I love it for that.
Tebori by SkysongMA (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 7k, Not Rated)
Newt squints. "It's really not a sex thing? 'Cause I'm not opposed to it being a sex thing, mind you. I just don't want to come in the lab tomorrow and not get to throw things at your stupid face."
Hermann lets out an endless, long-suffering sigh. "It's really not a sex thing, Newton, honestly. We hate each other. That's worked out very well for us so far, and it will continue to work out for us in the future." He doesn't mention that they haven't always hated each other and that, at one point in their long relationship, showing up unannounced at Newton's door for the purpose of sexual favors would not have been so far out of the realm of possibility. Had been, in fact, one of those things Hermann had considered late at night long ago, when he couldn't go a week without a fat envelope in the mail full of Newt's ramblings.
But that was quite some time ago, and he means it. They each get more work done than they would ever have separately, even if only because they like to rub their progress in the other's face.
Anyway, admitting anything different would just give Newt ammunition
What you can expect: Newt gives Hermann a tattoo. There’s a lot of feels.
Newt Inherits a Bar by orphan (Pacific Rim and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 11k, Not Rated)
The scary part is the bar looks exactly like Newt remembers.
What you can expect: you’ll probably tear up a bit. This one hits pretty hard, honestly, but it’s so, so, so good.
First a Darling, Then a Marvel by isozyme (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 20k, Mature)
Newt runs a simulation given three constraints:
1: Newt wants to clone a kaiju 2: Hermann does not want Newt to clone a kaiju 3: Newt is going to clone a kaiju anyway
What you can expect: a lot of sciencing, a lot of feels, and two repressed idiots. There’s like, a paragraph or two of smut but it’s pretty clear when it’s going to happen so it’s easy to skip, which is great. The tl;dr of this fic is Newt clones some kaiju, Hermann reminds him how fucking horrible of an idea that is, and everything more or less works out in the end.
Tea and Sympathy by osprey_archer (Torchwood, Owen Harper/Ianto Jones, 13k, Teen and Up)
Soon after Jack's disappearance, Owen takes sick. Ianto goes to check on him.
What you can expect: crabby doctors, put-upon Welshmen, and a fuckton of emotions that everyone is trying to ignore. Not particularly happy, but then, when is Torchwood ever? It’s good while it lasts, though.
Pareidolia by hal_incandenza (Pacific Rim and The Black Tapes Podcast, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 102k, Mature)
It starts as a profile of paranormal investigator and professional skeptic Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. But it seems the further journalist Newt Geiszler delves into his cases, the more mysterious Dr. Gottlieb becomes. What is he hiding? What is he looking for? What is the truth? What is the difference between a journalist's idea of truth, and a scientist's?
Seeing is not believing. Believing is believing.
What you can expect: suspense, mystery, horror, pining, and apocalypse cults, with a dash of an ambiguous ending. I love this fic so much. I literally would stop what I was doing to read it when I got an alert that there was an update when it was still a work in progress.
Meet Me There Across The Water, And We’ll Start An Endless Storm by Skepticamoeba (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 35k, Teen and Up)
Hermann, an honorably discharged veteran has retired to continue working as a Keeper at a Lighthouse. It is perfectly solitary, and with little in the way for incidents. Newton is the sailor that washes up on the seashore after a summer storm.
[Late 19th century Lighthouse Keeper AU--or the one where Hermann was an aspiring artist whose dreams got a bit derailed, and Newt is the sailor that needs to learn to take his time with things.]
What you can expect: the pining........the intricate rituals............the denial.........*chef’s kiss*
and I couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted by Lvslie (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 24k, Teen and Up)
He still smells like Newt; bears traces of his recent nearness. Clothes sleep-wrinkled from the proximity, from the way Newt’s ankle has during the night hooked around the calf of Hermann’s good leg and dragged his whole body seamlessly closer. Cheek half-flushed from the face unconsciously nuzzled his into the side of Hermann’s neck—evidence of his presence, fast asleep, as Hermann lay still and fretful for hours an end, staring at the ceiling and feeling sick with wanting.
[An early 20th century AU inspired loosely by Maurice and Age of Innocence.]
What you can expect: wistfulness, pining, repression, denial, lots of feelings. You’ll probably tear up. There’s an achingly happy ending for both of them. This is one of the fics I want a hard copy of so I can mark it up because, fuck, I love it so much.
leave the car running by Macremae (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 1k, Teen and Up)
It is clear that, after everything, Newt doesn't like to be touched. 
What you can expect: touch starvation, mutual pining, Newt finally getting the human contact he deserves. I wrote my own version of this since it was initially a prompt, but quite frankly, I like Newton’s version better because it hits.
The Man Who Invented Sherlock Holmes by Calais_Reno (Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, 15k, Teen and Up)
John Watson, struggling young doctor, doomed to live an ordinary life, dreams of writing detective fiction. If he can just figure out his hero's name, the story will practically write itself.
What you can expect: Watson sort of, kind of, maybe invents a man into being. Oops. I haven’t read this one in a while but I remember it being quite a lot of fun. There’s elements of what I would say is probably magical realism, but it��s never quite clear.
Newton Isn’t Dead by Macremae (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb and Vanessa Gottlieb/Karla Gottlieb, 32k, Mature)
Newton Geiszler is currently being possessed by a genocidal alien race known as the Precursors. They’ve taken over his body, leaving him a prisoner in his own mind. However, Newt has a totally awesome plan. He’s going to make a deal with them: let him prove that Earth is worth saving, and if he can’t do that, they can have his body. But convincing a hivemind full of mega-colonizers that one blue planet can be wonderful isn’t going to be easy. He’s going to need the help of his kind-of-ex Hermann, his best friend Vanessa, and one awesome Footloose remake to pull this off.
So, naturally, they go on a road trip.
What you can expect: pining, world-saving, eventual confessions and happy endings. I had the great honour of reading the chapters before they were published, and this fic is one of my top five favourite fics. There were multiple points where I yelled, both literally (quietly) and through text (slightly less quietly).
it takes time, but time moves slow by prettydizzeed (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 2k, Teen and Up)
Hermann conducts a cost-benefit analysis every class period of sitting in the back of the lecture hall versus walking down the stairs to the front. He wishes he had hard data for this, to get some actual statistics, and perhaps after a while, if he records his pain level and his ability to read the board and pay attention after each class, he will be able to predict the outcomes given either choice on a particular day.
Two curves, traveling in opposite directions, inversely proportional: pain goes up, concentration goes down. It’s comforting, somewhat, to make it a numbers game. Impersonal. Absolute. Not a tragedy, and not his doing, only his to interpret, a smudged scrawl across his left knee in an unfamiliar handwriting, his to analyze, to decrypt.
What you can expect: the fic may only be 2k, but it will leave you feeling like you were punched. It’s fantastic.
I Could Be Jew-ish For You by Macremae (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 10k, Teen and Up)
When Hermann agrees to spend Chanukah with his family in an attempt to wheedle some desperately-needed funding out of his father, Newt insists that he shouldn’t face Lars alone and tags along as his “emotional support family rage distraction”. What they fail to realize are two things: 1. When Hermann brings Newt with him to the festivities, assumptions will be made, and 2. Newt may be half-Jewish, but he sure wasn’t raised as one. 
What to expect: fake dating fake dating fake dating— (can you tell I have a favourite trope?) In which Newt is Jew-ish, Hermann is both exasperated and pining, Lars is disliked, and we all get the Jewish romcom we deserve.
It Was Love At Second Sight by rednights (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 35k, Teen and Up)
Hermann receives the first letter when he is eighteen years old.
or: Kaiju don't attack the Earth, but Hermann and Newt still write letters, botch their first meeting, and fall in love, not necessarily in that order.
What you can expect: feels. So many fucking feels. There’s no kaiju but that doesn’t mean you won’t be on the edge of your seat.
hello my old heart by firebirdsuite (The Magnus Archives, Martin Blackwood/Jonathan Sims, 15k, Teen and Up)
Peter’s wrong, of course. When it’s all over, Martin does still want to tell Jon everything. It’s just—well, there’s a few things they need to work through first before they can get there.
Martin and Jon find each other again in Scotland.
What you can expect: tenderness, domesticity, and love. The perfect trifecta.
the truth about me (and the truth about me) by danimagus (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 11k, Teen and Up)
Newton suffers from a bout of memory loss and is told Hermann is his fiancé.
Hermann plays along, to his endless shame.
What you can expect: two words: fake dating. Gods, I love this fic, as Mary can attest from how I unceremoniously started screaming at her about it in her tumblr messages the day of/after it was published. This fic is great because it subverts the trope a bit, and thus avoids issues of consent that may otherwise have occured.
speak right to my heart without saying a word by thekaidonovskys (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 13k, General Audiences)
“Your eyes. Your expression. Your smile. I’ve worked with you for ten years, Hermann, and words have never been our primary method of communication.” 
What you can expect: to be knocked the fuck out emotionally. This one hits pretty hard, and that’s what makes it so good.
Transducer by hal_incandenza (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 85k, Teen and Up)
“I need you to hide something for me.”
“Oh, excellent. Of course, Newton, please allow me to jeopardize my career. And yours as well. My pleasure. Do go on.”
“Yeesh, relax,” said Newton. “It’s a personal thing, not a work thing.”
“As if there is any division between the two,” Hermann snapped.
If only you knew, Newt thought.
What you can expect: intruigue, alien tech, light espionage. This fic will have your little nerd heart beating double-time. It’s very very good.
A Really Private Person by astolat (Person of Interest, Harold Finch/John Reese, 18k, Mature)
The end of the world started on a Wednesday in March. 
What you can expect: badassery on Finch’s part. One of the few fics I have bookmarked for this fandom, and it’s bookmarked for good reason.
Party For Two by ProblemWithTrouble (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 18k, General Audiences)
 “My mother’s parents have a home in the Black Forest that has a guest house. They’ve often allowed me to stay there when I could spare the time.” Hermann looked distant as if he were remembering something; the warmth of a fire and a nice book and the smell of freshly made tea. “It will be quiet, and possibly too boring for you-”
 “It won’t be. I could use some quiet after the decade we’ve had. I could actually compile my research. And sleep. It sounds amazing.”
After the world doesn't end Newt and Hermann take a vacation together to live in a cabin and finally relax, as friends. Cue the pining, the longing, and the living together as best friends.
What you can expect: a fic that will wrap you up like a warm blanket. Mutual pining, vacationing together in a cabin, lots of feels—what more can you want?
Dream Drifting by MooseLane (Pacific Rim and Inception, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 5k, General Audiences)
"You're running an extraction on that spastic PPDC biologist, is what I hear." Chau fixes him with a side-eye. "I know I wouldn't want to go poking around in that little bastard's head."
(There are not enough Inception x Pacific Rim crossover fics, so I decided to change that.)
What you can expect: Inception meets Pacific Rim. There’s no other way to say it, really.
I’ve Got Nothing To Do Today But Smile (The Only Living Boy In New York) by gyzym (Inception, Arthur/Eames, 19k, Teen and Up)
Arthur's a corporate lawyer, Eames owns the coffee shop across the street, and all good love stories start with a quadruple shot latte. 
What to expect: Arthur is stressed, Eames runs a coffee shop, and, through the power of friendship and a lot of stress-baking, everything works out happily for our intrepid protagonist.
Kalimat/كلمات  by rainbowagnes (The Old Guard, Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicolò di Genova, 3k, Teen and Up)
Yusuf translates medical texts for Niccolò from Greek and Persian into Arabic, and Niccolò spots the substratum of the ideas of the classical authors that he had once believed the basis of his own civilisation that he would go to the sword to defend, translated and passed down and sewn into a no longer foreign script. There are words Yusuf does not know how to translate. They will never, ever know all of the words. The prospect is thrilling. --- It takes Niccolò lifetimes to learn Arabic. 
What you can expect: if you, like me, are, especially natively, multilingual, this might hit the sweet spot of Language Feels. It did for me. Also, Joe calling Nicky hayati? Yeah.
i never liked that ending either by Macremae (Pacific Rim, Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, 15k, Mature)
You want a better story. Who wouldn’t?    - Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out
Once upon a time Dr. Flick Tucker, K-Sci head of Biology, fought a bunch of highly scientific dragons to save the world. Then, they took over her life. It didn’t end well.
Once upon our time Dr. Newt Geiszler, marine biologist, sci-fi aficionado, and accidental discoverer of dimensional travel, got a chance to take her place. He has a couple of ideas.
In which Uprising is still a bad movie, musings on the nature of choice and personal autonomy are made, and somewhere, probably, a coin is showing heads every time.
What you can expect: everything’s fine this is a perfectly normal fic come here i want to cause you as much emotional damage as I can
Not Allowed by acedott (BBC Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, 1k, General Audiences)
Gwen has been dealing with self-imposed touch starvation since she was a child. Morgana sets out to challenge this. 
What you can expect: gays. Pining. Touch starvation. Need I say more?
Rocky Horror Pancake Show by ChuckleVoodoos (Daredevil, Matt Murdock/Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, 19k, Teen and Up)
Foggy falls asleep at exactly 12:00 AM, and he’s making a wish. He wakes up at 12:00 AM too—twenty-four hours before he fell asleep.
"Let's do the time warp again!"
What you can expect: Ground-hog Day style time-loop, lots of fluff, and a happy ending.
Ain’t No Nancy Kerrigan by cleverqueen (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Leonard Snart/Mick Rory, 13k, Teen and Up)
It's 1994, and young Lisa Snart's jumps aren't strong enough for an Olympic singles skater. Thankfully, her older brother has an athletic friend who can match her in pairs.
Mick Rory is hopelessly in love with Leonard Snart, though he'd never say anything about it, so he jumps at a chance to do Len's little sister a favor. If he's patient and works hard, maybe he'll even get to skate with her older brother.
What you can expect: pining, ice-skating, and general goodness. It’s fun, it’s funny, and it has a happy ending.

Kazakhstan: The Greatest Country in the World
I'll readily admit that my knowledge of American history (particularly when it comes to the oppression of BiPOC) is a little sketchy in places. So I conflated Juneteenth (the fact that certain places didn't emancipate slaves for 2.5 years after they should have) with the Tulsa massacre. However, I hope it counts for something (however small) that I at least knew it was something horrific to do with racist and oppressive BS, that noone in their right mind would be so callous or insensitive to wish anyone hapiness/celebration while remembering that. I wonder how many white Americans can honestly say the same. It seems that I am at least one step ahead of them. Most just take what they learned in K-12 and accept it as the whole truth. K-12, though? That strikes me as a class for advanced students. It seems to me that the average American isn't much more intelligent/educated than the average K-9. (It's one of the reasons why I'm proud to not be an American.)
Too Little, Too Late
Honestly, more white Americans know the history today than did a month ago, and more knew last summer than did the year before, which is definitely … something in the right direction?
Yeah, it's fucking sad, and infuriating, though. Your schools don't teach you this shit, or about Tulsa, or about Rosewood, or Rosa Parks, or about the legacy of lynching, or anything much beyond "slavery was really bad and then we fought a war to get rid of it and then it was mostly better and then Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech and made it all the way better". (Sometimes it's even worse. I know someone who had a friend who grew up in the South and though he admittedly didn't pay a ton of attention in history — with no serious repercussions because he's white — it was at least into his twenties before he realized that the Confederacy lost. He thought that they must have been fighting to end slavery instead of keep it! I mean, how problematic and appalling is that?!)
You don't teach kids about indigenous genocide, either. They don't learn about how their government has (sometimes quite literally) stabbed them (and the first nation's people) in the back over and over again. Growing up, I didn't learn about how Lincoln ordered the largest mass hanging in US history, executing 38 people who had fought because they were starving as a result of their lands being stolen (not just their original lands but part of what they had been forced onto, too) — and that a bunch of the names we saw everywhere like Ramsey and Sibley were dudes who were heavily involved in that "conflict", but I was taught the gist of the attrocities committed by men like Custer when the West was lost.
Your shit's fucked up from top to bottom and side to side.
Your whole education system is garbage, not just your History. Your countrymen (collectively) can't spell, have poor reading comprehension, struggle to identify their own country on a map (never mind anyone else's), are still stuck in the 1960 as far as race relations go, have no grasp of basic Physics or Biology, lobby against teaching evolution in schools (as opposed to Creationism), ad infinitum, ad tedium … Yet I, an individual from a Third World country, have a better education (Cambridge syllabus) than the average individual from what is allegedly The Greatest Country in The World™ Hmm … Something doesn't add up here (but then again, my country's Maths literacy is a known weakness). #JustSaying
Honestly, if my country of origin was one that once housed the thousands of minds that successfully worked out and executed the challenge of going from near-Earth orbit to manually landing a craft on the moon and getting it back to Earth without incident in less than a decade (using technology less powerful/accurate than the average pocket calculator, nog al); a feat so statistically improbable as to be practically impossible … to this sordid state of affairs, I would either retreat to the backwoods and whittle while seriously contemplating my ancestors' poor life choices or I would dilligently apply myself to getting a proper education through online courses. I certainly wouldn't run my mouth about how great my nation is when it's clearly appallingly and embarrassingly backward. Only an idiotic, ignorant, arrogant motherfucker does that. This is far beyond something rotten in the state of Denmark. So yeah, I'm very much anti-American and I'm definitely not ashamed of it.
Now, I realise, of course, that generalisations are generally wrong and not every American is an illiterate and poorly-educated backwoods hillbilly, but fuck me, the smart ones are needles in the haystack (and it's a very big haystack).
Perhaps if your government spent as much on mitigating its education, housing, medical aid (health insurance), unemployment and potable water shortage crises as it does on exploring the Universe and persecuting/murdering BIPOC (particularly non-Christian ones) around the world while claiming to be "liberating" them of anything other than natural resources (particularly gold, diamonds, oil and tungsten) and their lives while foisting cheap crap on them, I might not be such a harsh critic. But don't mind me; I'm just an anti-consumerism anarchist with no idea of how the world really works.
Having worked for some morally bankrupt organisations myself, I'm certainly in no position to criticise, but I do think it's at least a little hypocrytical for someone who worked for Baby Killers International to wish BIPOC a restive and peaceful Juneteenth.
The idea that it's made a holiday is all well and good, but the government still allows cops to murder minorities. It's a consolation prize and a hollow one at that. Not teaching why it's even a holiday in the first place is all sorts of problematic, but only in America. The government has been scared to death of its people (all of them) since the 60s (which is a good thing). Now, they're seeing a lot more whites side with BIPOC than did back then. The only thing keeping them safe is their brainwashed right-wing. This is beyond disturbing.
The Greatest Country in the World
"We're The Greatest Country in the World™", you cry? Maybe sixty years ago you could broadly claim it was heading there and maintain a straight face (if you ignore a lot of problematic shit like abusing Oppenheimer's genius in order to commit war crimes). It certainly isn't any more. Why; what the fuck happened to a nation that used to be an inspiration? Well, you didn't just rest on your laurels; you destroyed them. Meanwhile, the rest of the world struggled and persevered to become what you once were. Unfortunately, we bought into the nightmare of consumerism and greed you packaged and sold to us as The American Dream™.
So, in short: Fuck you very much! Enjoy your fucked-up holiday. Coke (which used to containe cocaine), nutrient-devoid cardboard "food" and heart-attack-inducing "energy" drinks white America!

Tips from my College Counsellor/Teachers
These are some handy-dandy tips from my college counsellor and teachers regarding medicine/science courses but can also be applied to more general majors/degrees:
Quick Disclaimer: Not all these facts may apply to you or your situation. It’s always best to directly ask your teacher and college counsellor whats best for you. This is just some food for thought.
1. It is competitive.
Medical school is highly competitive and often offer limited places, most colleges are like that as well. For entry to Oxford in 2019, around 23,000 people applied for around 3,300 undergraduate places. That meant Oxford received, on average, over 7 applications for each available place (https://www.ox.ac.uk/about/facts-and-figures/full-version-facts-and-figures#:~:text=Undergraduate%20admissions%20and%20access,applications%20for%20each%20available%20place.). You have to make sure you stand out, often grades were just the preliminary way of rejecting applications but in order to be more likely to receive the place you have to be an all-rounder (clubs, sports, cultural events, student leadership, community service, etc.). Remember: “Universities are always looking for a way to say no, not yes.”
Tumblr media
https://www.ivycoach.com/2020-ivy-league-admissions-statistics/
2. Don’t be afraid to take a gap year
Travel, have experiences, volunteer at hospitals or doctors’ offices, take this time to beef up your resume, learn a language, learn a skill, take time to be sure that not only if college is the right choice for you but if the major you’re taking is truly the one for you, etc. Gap years are incredibly important if you personally don’t feel like you’re ready to jump into university. Not to mention it gives you time to mature and gain experience (referring to Point 1). 
This incredible website has some more general ideas: https://www.oysterworldwide.com/news/gap-year-ideas/
These are specifically medical ideas: https://www.themedicportal.com/blog/5-things-to-do-on-your-gap-year-to-boost-your-med-school-application/
Tumblr media
3. Finances can be tricky
Scholarships. Scholarships. Scholarships. There is no reason to start your adult and working life in debt, not to mention with a mediocre credit score. Besides financial aid, it’s always best to consider what you could do to lower your expenses when going to college (e.g. buying the textbooks second hand vs. brand new). 
Oxford: https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/fees-funding/assistance
Cambridge: https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/cambridgebursary
Edinburgh: https://www.ed.ac.uk/student-funding/financial-support/student-loans/usa/apply
etc.
You can always ask your college counsellor what scholarships are available/relevant to you, but often taking a look at the university sites gives you an idea of what they offer.
Tumblr media
(some stats from Stanford: https://news.stanford.edu/2019/12/03/trustees-set-2020-21-tuition-expand-financial-aid-middle-income-families/)
4. Don’t always go for big universities like Oxford or Cambridge
Whilst I’m not encouraging in any way to not apply to these universities after all ‘you can never be admitted if you don’t apply’, I am saying keep in mind that you may be unsuccessful as admission rates are low and you should have several ‘backup’ options in case.
Tumblr media
5. Hard work + extracurriculars all the way
Most top universities get thousands of applications each year, it is not only important to get good grades, but be a well-rounded individual. Clubs, Community Service, Jobs/Internships, Sport, Cultural, Student Leadership, etc. are all important things to have when applying for university.
6. Be organised but have fun!
Being organised is so important when it comes to applying to universities and attending class at university. Universities often appreciate those who are organised at all times, it also makes your life one thousand times easier! However, if you work too hard you could experience burn out! Don’t be afraid to take some time for yourself and relax.
Tumblr media
9. Be careful of your online history
This may sound a little ominous, but be careful what you post online, it could come back to haunt you. This person:https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/nasa-intern-job-loss-twitter-homer-hickam-space-council-a8503241.html lost their internship at NASA because of a tweet, and this 17-year old: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22083032 lost their job because of their tweets between the ages of 14-16. Take care what you post online, it may be the reason you lose your spot at a top university.
Tumblr media
(This is Paris Brown in case you were wondering)
Thanks for reading! Please remember that these were just some general tidbits of advice given to me throughout my ongoing high school career and is food for thought. Everyone’s situation is different and it is always best to find out from a college counsellor/teacher what is best for you. Thank you!
