Had one of my maths classes today (w my fav student) and at the end, I'm given xmas gifts???

Fr feels insane to me bc it's not just chocolates (got a lindt box last saturday btw) but it's also a jumper like the grandma's husband had a factory i think (now he's retired) and ig it was a leftover idk but they gave me a cute lil jumper!!

Also the grandma forgot to pay me for the class and i only realised after i had left - however, I'm going home as normal bc I'm thinking like the presents they gave me replace that idk BUT she calls + texts me like 10min later to tell me she did forget to give me da money

So i went back to the house before going home again then I'm back in my room so i decide to check how much she gave me and i see she paid me for the usual 1h30 even tho we only did 1h15 today

And like the thing is: sometimes i truly forget teaching is my job bc i really enjoy it so idc ab the money i get out of it, esp bc in this case my student's grandma is my mum's friend so i wouldn't mind teaching for free (like i often help younger friends and I'd never ask for anything in return bc I'm just glad to be able to help them)

But anywayyys i got gifts and money so everything's good, i love my job<3

This is probably the weirdest way to show that I'm in the Mouthwashing fandom, and like nobody is going to see this BUT

If I see ONE MORE person compare Ted to Jimmy I'm going to LOSE MY FUCKING MIND. Is this another testament to people not understanding Ted's overall role in the story and his character arc? YES, YES IT IS. RE READ THE BOOK. RE LISTEN TO THE RADIO DRAMA. GAME IS IT'S OWN CONVERSATION THAT WILL TAKE TOO LONG FOR ME TO DISECT + IT HAS IT'S OWN STORY AND THUS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED HERE.

Jimmy is a jealous man, who assaults (and unfortunately impregnates) Anya, and then tries to crash the ship so he doesn't have to deal with the consequences, and when everyone lives, they live in misery BECAUSE OF HIM. He is the co-pilot, he has more power and authority over the others, and he ACTIVELY makes things worse, and is at fault for the crash and the subsequent fallout. (this section is shorter, simply because I've been in the IHNMAIMS fandom much longer and have way more thoughts on Ted) Ted, on the other hand, is not at fault for the world ending. He is just as trapped as the other five, he's more prone to mental manipulation and THINKING he's better off, but he really isn't. He doesn't have more power of the others because he's also a victim. He is by no means a great guy, or even a good guy; They key difference is that at the end of his story, the book, he actually fucking HELPS. Rather than make his friends continue to live in misery, he puts them out of it, and rather than end his own suffering, he spends those precious few seconds he could be ramming an icicle into himself, comforting Ellen as she dies. It doesn't make up for what he's thought and said, BUT, it's something at least. It's remorse, it's letting her finally be content, it's trying to give her the empathy she showed him time and time again. And he gets turned into a horrid slug creature after, he actively suffers more than everyone else for the rest of time- he self sacrifices so his friends could be at peace. TLDR: Jimmy is objectively selfish and doesn't change much throughout the game, save for MAYBE the very end (ig putting Curly in the pod is one brownie point for him) however Ted actually shows growth by the end of the story, and makes a point to end the suffering of his friends, while ultimately sacrificing himself in the process. If I catch another person equating these two I'm just gonna start throwing hammers at them I DON'T CARE. I am THE Ted defender, and I WILL stand my ground that, while he is no where near perfect, he DOES become a better person by the end of the story and deserves to have that acknowledged. anyway this has been sick rants with me, feel free to add on in reblogs or perchance spark a FRIENDLY debate. I apologize if I come off rude here, Ted and IHNMAIMS have been a hyperfixation of mine for months and I am very easily riled up about the story and characters. adding new tag ; Jace rants 🗯️ ! For all my ranting escapades from now on.

I think the biggest reason why the team feels different after Hotch leaves/why emily doesn’t seem like the best option for unit cheif to some people(outside of the obvious fact that Hotch was UC for 11 seasons so obviously it’s easy to compare) is because of the ages. Like in season one, Hotch is easily in his mid-late 30’s the EARLIEST (remember, hotch had to go through college, law school, work as a prosecutor for some time (long enough for him to become dismayed by the fact he couldn’t do anything to help people before it was too late), work in the seattle field office before transferring to Quantico and work there for long enough to be seen as a trustworthy replacement for Gideon). The rest of the team is in their early 30’s at most, more likely their late 20’s and that’s not counting Spencer, Jj and Garcia who are in their EARLY 20’s. He’s much older than them (outside of Gideon and Rossi), and that creates an inherent sense of authority. Emily on the other hand, is younger than Hotch, and even if she’s still older than the rest of the team, it’s only by a few years. according to the Fanwiki, Hotch is 8 years older than Morgan and Emily is only 3 years older than him. And yeah, by the time Emily is Unit Cheif, Morgan is gone. but she’s still a lot closer in age.

and this is never remedied. They never hire and young agents to the BAU. The youngest person to join the team after season two is Seaver and she’s only there for a season. Did the FBI qualifications change? do you need to be in your mid-30’s to join now? The entire team is the same age, so Emily never feels like an authority figure in the same way. In season one, Hotch is teaching Spencer how to shoot a gun. In season 12, Reid is IN PRISON. Like you never get to see Emily guide anyone. And it doesn’t help that we saw Emily work as a member of the team like the others, and then she was gone for like…4 seasons.

It’s just so annoying because there could’ve been potential to show a new group of young agents come in as members are swapped out, and show them grow into their roles the same way we saw with the main roster, but this never happens. Instead they’re replaced with Agents the same age. Why do we never see Garcia have a little tech protege, why isn’t there a group of fresh faced agents the way we had them with Elle and Reid. It probably would’ve made the series finale a whole lot better if we knew there was a group of people who were going to take the mantle and that the BAU was going to be just fine without Garcia and Reid. But no, we never get that. Like at the end of season 15 is it just like “oh well, i guess we aren’t catching serial killers anymore” ? like we could’ve seen Emily be somebody’s Hotch, but it never happens, so she never really feels like she’s the unit chief, she just feels like she’s there because Hotch isn’t.

idk there’s probably a lot more, and I love Emily Prentiss so much, I’m probably missing a lot because i honestly don’t watch past season 11 in my rewatches anymore but I just felt like ranting.

Hate how i'll work 10x faster if its for other people. My brain decides i under no circumstances am allowed to rest until the drawings done.

In the end im left with a cramped hand and half a art collab 🥲

It hurts to block and unfollow someone I was growing to like and enjoy their content, but writing about ELPHIE AND THE WIZARD AS A SHIP IS INSANE and I just can’t excuse that

[highonincense]

One thing I absolutely despise in drarry fics —and by this I mean a specific subset, not like in general cause there are many amazing fics— is the characterization of harry (and draco), the way he's an absolute fucking doormat!!!! I get it y'all are tryna portray him as a social dimwit, it can be done in a normal way without making him seem like a piece of cardboard! Are we talking about the same dude here?? You don't actually have to completely demolish a character, take away their key traits just to make the other half of the ship look better.

Let me give a pointwise description:

1. Dude stutters after every bloody sentence, like he's so overwhelmed talking to draco "smirking, smooth as butter, sardonic, sleek, godly" Malfoy who keeps insulting him every fucking second. Do you really think that harry would entertain that bullshit, especially in post-war fics!!! Like he'd just take it and not put him in his place?

2. I read this fic long ago and I don't remember the name, but good god it was unbearable. Basically the golden trio apologizes to draco for his tragic life that they were responsible for after the war? Like wtf? Why is there even a need to do that? 😭 That was too much and I stopped midway

3. Again, draco "3 OWLs" Malfoy, some supersmart / second coming of tom riddle, keeps patronizing every action of harry, the amount of times harry's intelligence is insulted? Immediate no from me, like are we still doing the whole "harry dumb mf potter is unobservant, slow, stupid, can't function without some rat hissing in his ear that he's an idiot 24/7"? Don't you think it's lame?

4. Harry has to always put up with his shitty attitude, I am all for character development, I know characters are multi dimensional and complex, and showing draco having a difficult personality is well and good, but it starts to get annoying when there's no real growth in him. I've read fics where he's absolutely despicable until the end which is covered up as him being a dickhead in general and harry "fondly" keeps up with his shit. *gag* canon harry would NEVER

5. I think it genuinely wouldn't make a difference if harry was there or not, I am not kidding or being dramatic, those fics might as well be character × y/n fics

All of this leads me to hate draco's character more! You portray him as this insufferable bastard who has a heart of gold apparently (where?) who has no real growth, shows no humility or regret or even pretends to and you think harry will put up with that?

It would be interesting if he starts out that way, works on himself and grows and changes, that would be more tolerable and interesting!

But no, he's always this annoying guy who hurls insults, keeps mocking harry or his friends every other line, you might argue it's in his character, but aren't those the traits which make him unlikeable? like those aren't cute or quirky? wouldn't it make more sense to show him grow out of it? It's really annoying

And harry, let's not go there, he's a completely new character, might as well be an oc atp, you can't even compare him to canon harry, that's how bad it is! I still haven't completely discussed it cause it's already getting long, but he's this wet bloody blanket and I can't stand it, the gryffs (except Hermione) in general are shown as some bumbling buffoons who can't differentiate between their hand and foot!! And the slytherins are all savvy, masterminds, geniuses... I really don't know whether it's admirable cause it's weird seeing them pushed into these moulds where they can only behave a certain way!

I'm so tired this is still going on like?? Why are their characters such caricatures? All of this sounds like it may have been a thing of past, but I am appalled it's still happening!!!

This is not directed at all drarry fics out there, cause there are some gorgeous fics written by amazing authors who fucking get these characters and make it about them, about their relationship and explore it in a depth and nail their characterizations without making either one of them boring. There are a good number of fics that I actually enjoy cause of the way they write drarry's characters, which makes or breaks the fic imho

I swear everytime i open up tumblr and see other people's art on my screen it always makes me so discouraged to draw especially how well done a lot of them are, which genuinely sucks because i wanna post more art but i CANT draw more art if i keep feeling insecure and stuff.

Makes me wanna eat a nuclear bomb just thinking about it..

WHY IS DRAWING SO HARD OML (sad android emoji)

my girl is MAD

[littlegrapejuice]

I had my 1st maths class w my new student today

She's absolutely adorable omggg ik for sure she's my fave now (idk if I'm supposed to play favourites amongst my students lol but she's fr so cute)

It was pure luck to teach her bc her grandma is ny friend's mum from like their sports club and when the grandma was looking for someone, my mum said i was looking for a job

Girly is literally the dream student bc she understands pretty quickly when i explain smth and if she doesn't, she immediately asks for clarification or just tells me when smth we haven't talk ab yet was complicated for her

Also I'm paid above average per hour so i can't complain ab anything

[koterkot]

i'm probably a system but i have a job so idrc about that rn

[iloveraccoons66]

Tell me why I just watched the black phone and I keep seeing people trying to make robin seem like some kind of bully in all of the fanfics and stuff...like girl?? Did we watch the same movie????? Cause robins entire character is literally just him HELPING the bullied kids and only beating the shit out of people that deserve it like what are y'all doing??? Like I get it if you don't care about it being close to cannon or whatever but like the people that are actually convinced that he would act like that are INSANEE cause what kinda drugs do you have to be on to think that sweetheart of a boy would be a bully??

[therandomcreechur]

I feel like I should say smt

DO NOT FUCKING LEAK II 15, TPOT 12, OR BFDIA 14. SO MANY PEOPLE PAYED A LOT OF MONEY TO SEE IT. Another thing, apparently recording and any photography is prohibited… HMMMMMM 👀👀👀

One last thing. It’s not like you’re not going to see these episodes ever again, they’re going to post the episodess on the jacknjellify and animationepic channels anyway. Just please fucking stop posting leaks.

Having a young irresponsible parent for the most part is normal . But sometimes it can honestly be wild. Cause wdym we went to stop into her friends house after buying bread and came home with a cat?
