oi. ColoPale. i literally don't care about Shizurui one bit. they are irrelevant. actually, i couldn't give a shit about Shizuku and Rui by themselves, so why would i give two about them?? together?? pfft, that is so ridiculous. what sort of sad and silly and useless thing would devote sixty-eight percent of their brain to the dynamic of two characters that spoke like twice (ACTUALLY it was like at least three events but i wouldn't know). a right weirdo, that's who. absolutely off their rocker. therefore, you should NOT make them interact again. several times. NEVER have them in the same event ever again. actually make them FORGET each other. HATE each other maybe. don't even give them similar looking cards that silly and whimsical and starving rarepair shippers will get their filthy hands on and compare stupid amounts. do not even give me i mean them SCRAPS. thank you. it would be such a SHAME if you IGNORED everything i said and made them talk again. i would be DEVESTATED. i would SCREAM AND CRY AND SHOUT.

I'm obsessed with expectency effects and epigenetics. A brief summary for you using examples.

Researchers were given two sets of random rats from the same breeder and told one group was smarter and better at mazes. The researchers, after conducting studies, PROVED that that group was smarter. This is expectancy effects. We look for evidence of a thing we believe to be true and prove it somehow.

There are a couple thoughts on why this works. False or inflated reporting of evidence in support of the belief and/or subconcious influence on the part of the researchers leading to legitimately better results. I think both play a part, but I am mainly in the latter camp. I genuinely think that if you believe someone or something to be a certain way, then you will influence them subconsciously to meet that expectation.

For instance, if you believe kids are hard to deal with, kids are going to pick up on that and not be easy to deal with with you. You're going to find lots of evidence to support that they're hard to deal with.

Epigenetics is a whole field studying non visible genetically inherited traits. Epigenetic studies in mice found that it took FIVE generations for mice to stop responding negatively to a stimulus that only the first generation actually experienced. One very, very important thing to realize about epigenetics, though, is on the literal google search page for the word. "Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible."

So not only is your body/brain likely responding to stimulus from like 1870 to now subconciously (because of the way it reads it's own DNA,) but ALSO everything you believe to be true is more likely to be due to expectancy effects! And when you learn and believe that whatever negative triggers and responses come up for you are reversible, you will prove it.

Isn't that beautiful? The mutability of the mind and body?

Isn't it beautiful to believe that we are not stuck in one way of thinking and reacting to the world no matter how ingrained by time?

You're going to do great.

I believe in you!

I want to make it very clear that I do not have writers block, the only reason I haven’t finished that Aoinene fic yet is bcuz I’m lazy af. And because my sister keeps asking to hang out every time I sit down to work on it and I can’t break the sacred bond of sibling time🍎

I would like to acknowledge all the folks in the notes critiquing the design of this Extremely Scientific research study; your feedback is appreciated and will of course be taken under careful consideration

That said, I should perhaps clarify that the delayed gratification in this instance, should you be successful in the endeavor, will derive simply from the inherent gratification of being able to look at the results next week and know with absolute certainty that you are one of the strongest people on Tumblr

Reblog for a larger sample size for no sample size at all, because obviously nobody will vote

any woman who is tempted to feel bad about the so called male loneliness epidemic should look up anything along the lines of, "lonely modern women" and see who is having a field day in the comment section at the idea of women dying alone. also pay attention to who constantly throws around the term childless cat lady and mocks women who don't have a husband and kids past a certain age. then remind herself that it is none of our business :)))

My friend and I were talking about what if IT were a sitcom the other day, and I brought up the trope of "main character has an evil identical cousin" (as seen in Jessie, the princess switch 2, and Hannah Montana) and we just kept talking about it until we found an image of Nicholas Hamilton with glasses and KNEW we had to make a shitty oc out of it. So we made a character named Harry Bowers, he's Henry's shitty little british cousin and that is also played by Nicholas Hamilton. It still works on sitcom rules though, so anytime Henry and Harry interact it's shot reverse shot, split screen, and close ups of the back of their heads. It's basically just like the parent trap but worse.

Unlike Henry, he's actually a relatively pleasant person to get along with, but he really enjoys making Henry suffer for literally no reason. Ever since they were little Harry's been cartoonishly abusive, you look at """happy""" old photos of them as kids, and it's always something like Connor smiling into the camera while Harry tries to drown Henry in a lake. He's also just as unhinged as Henry, only instead of violent outbursts to everyone around him, Harry has extreme british passive aggressiveness and does insane shit like move all of Henry's furniture slightly to the left.

In many aspects Harry is Henry's Henry Bowers, only it's worse because nobody likes Henry and everyone agrees he sucks, nobody cares that Harry psychologically tortures him. You might expect Harry to try and steal Henry's life or something, given that they look alike, but he really doesn't want to. Butch and the losers club would absolutely love it if he did though. They're all pretty take it or leave it about him. Thankfully, he only stays for like a week in summer, then disappears for the rest of the year.

Henry hates him so much it's gotten to the point he suspects he poisons him everytime he's here. Everytime he crops up again Henry nearly has a panic attack. His cloyingly stupid british voice announcing "Hello Henry!" sends shivers down his spine. Only made worse by the fact Harry can just pop up behind any surface randomly. He'll close the fridge door and BAM "Hello Henry!". Horror sting music plays everytime it happens too.

Honestly, Harry Bowers might not even be real though, I think Henry might just be having a weird fight club like psychosis.

This is basically what he looks like btw, (Shout out to my friend Kia for drawing the picture on the left.).
