"Winnie the Pooh refuses the blindfold and dies by firing squad" sounds like a tumblr bit that someone would make a comic of but Red Dwarf did that in 1991

Not to whack a hornet's nest here but I seriously think some people should reconsider putting their NSFW posts in the main series tag. Multiple main tags, mind you. Those posts will still end up being visible in the main tag search.

You're still engaging in media that is directed to a younger demographic. If you're an older member of the community please think about who is going to see these posts. Not everyone in the community is going to be interested in seeing that kind of stuff. And considering the fact that there are still plenty of younger community members here, I think you should be more mindful about what you post about these characters out in the open.

Ghost kept staring at Price during the unexpected journey and Price had enough

Price: you have something you wish to tell me

Ghost: well- your beard

Price: what about it

Ghost: why do you wear a fake one?

Price: ......

Price: to look important of course

Ghost: so all the wizards must have long beard to look...important?

Price: ...yeah

Ghost: so if I got a long beard I'm important?

Price: no

Price: you're already important, dear Ghost

Ghost: [grumbles] but I want a beard...

Yeah, the US higher ed system is quite differently structured than the European system! (Not sure about the Canadian universities tbh.)

Most bachelor degrees in the US require a certain amount of general education classes that everyone needs to take before you go into specialized classes for your degree. That's why you don't *have* to choose a degree program for the first couple of years if you don't want to and why people can switch majors without needing to completely start over (sometimes).

The general education usually includes life sciences, fine arts, English composition/literature, foreign language, maybe some kind of tech, and physical education (anything from jogging to billiards lol. I did yoga and tai chi for mine. The Ivy League private schools make you do a swimming test to graduate.) The point is to create a well-rounded education, which is what "liberal arts" is supposed to mean.

There's two main ways to get gen Ed credits before you go to a 4 year school/bachelor's programs. High school students can take Advanced Placement (AP) classes, which end with exams created by the College Board (the same company that runs the SAT/ACT general exams that you also usually need to apply to uni). Most unis accept a certain score on an AP test as credit towards one of their general education classes. So for example, I entered uni already having credits for English lit and comp, math (stats), French, history, prolly some other stuff I can't remember. Ofc this is assuming your high school is affluent enough to have AP classes at all and that you can afford the exam fee but it's still cheaper than university tuition.

The other way to get early credits is taking community college classes. Most community colleges have transfer programs set up with nearby unis. So people either take some classes then transfer to a 4 year degree OR they complete an associate's degree and roll that into the final 2 years of a bachelor's and then they have both degrees at the end. A lot of community college general ed courses are also open to high school students if their high school doesn't offer sufficiently advanced classes.

And because its the US, all of this varies based on how your state university system does things. Private universities generally follow this setup but not all.

An associate's degree generally comes from completing a 2 or 3 year program at a community college. In the US, community colleges are smaller state-owned schools that are less expensive than universities. They offer lower level university classes or programs in things like business management, nursing, or general studies. Often people save money by doing their general studies classes at community college then transferring to a 4 year university to finish a bachelor's degree (sometimes you can get an assoc. And bachelor's in the same area). But associate's degrees can also qualify you for a lot of jobs on their own. (Community colleges also usually have a lot of non-degree classes in things like foreign languages, first aid, or honestly whatever someone wants to teach, which are open to anyone.)

Oooh thank you for explaining! I've always had trouble categorizing college from what I've seen in US American media. So you can kinda choose whether going to college as a gen ed continuation, or the opposite to get specialized? Are there any Bachelor's programms you need Associate's degrees for?

I'm fairly sure something similar used to exist in Belgium for specific fields, but they were homogenized in the ECTS system introduced by the Bologna process (essentially making it easier to change fields without losing your credit, and making international recognition of diploma's possible). Now theoretically there are distinctions between institutions for more practical education (no options for Master's degrees in most cases but this is changin) versus more theoretical/academic studies. If you take a practical Bachelor's degree, it might be that you need extra credit to take a Master's.

Hey, how the hell are some of y’all regularly posting fic chapters that are 10k+ words???? How???

[osamucide]

if this bothers anyone they can kindly feel free to leave or ignore it or whatever but can we stop flooding the x reader tags with half-baked thinkpieces on why people should or shouldn’t do whatever with their writing. every other post is “you shouldn’t romanticize [x]” “you’re problematic if you do [x]” “stop writing about [x]” “[x] is gross and if you write about it kill yourself” how about if you don’t like certain content you heed the content warnings, block the tags, don’t interact with it, so on and so forth. of course part of our responsibility as writers, especially ones dealing with sensitive topics, is to label and tag our works appropriately but let’s be real—i hardly see any writers (at least within the bsd fandom) who don’t make it abundantly clear what they do/do not write about, interact with, or tolerate. wait until you find out how much fucked up shit happens in real life and how much some person on the internet coping with their trauma by writing self insert fanfiction about a cartoon character doesn’t fucking correlate to the perpetuation of that fucked up shit at all. it doesn’t even have to be that serious. people are going to write and read the content they want and they’re allowed to and you spilling your complaints all over the x reader tags “to boost attention” isn’t gonna change that. if you don’t like something ignore, unfollow, block, mind your own business. it’s actually super easy

Belphie and IK tidbits that made me laugh

- This one is very OOC but my older brother loves to call me a dickhead (lovingly) and that definitely seems like something Belphie would say if IK pulled a prank on him idk it just feels like that sort of relationship where he'll walk up and lightly push IK over for no reason and then walk away. The same vein as older siblings bursting through your door just to turn the light off and leave he's such an asshole I love him

- IK doing that viral thing where in the middle of Belphie talking she throws a slice of cheese/lunch meat at his face and it just sticks there

- Belphie going up to IK and fake beating her up like you do with a cat, exaggerated punching sounds and all

- Belphie tossing a pillow over IK and laying on top of her (not with his full weight ofc, but enough to trap her)

I can see him being generally very bothersome. love that guy (kinda)

they're like a pair of cats who find very cherished companionship in each other by fighting constantly <3 like those fights cats have where they just smack each other at lightning speed

the family'll be all chilling together in the common and ik just veeeery slowly reaches out and hits him in the arm. she keeps doing it an increasingly short intervals and belphie can't allowed to retaliate without the others ganging up on him sbdkfsbd

(belphie acts annoyed but he also always takes ik's side against the others, so he can't complain)

beel watches them take it in turns silently hitting each other with belphie's pillow and he's just like "[sentimental sigh] i love my family so much"

So hard being a sukuna enjoyer and trying to find fics about him because you get one of two options

1. God awful out of character reader insert porn where you’re his uwu submissive (normally terrified of him) concubine or some shit but GASSSSPPPP he ACTUALLY cares about you and is soft for YOU ONLY and he wants you to GET PREGNANT with HIS HEIR oh my GOD

Or

2. God awful out of character suku.fushi or suku.ita where the plot is like what if sukuna was a MAFIA BOSS and he got OBSESSED WITH THEM and KIDNAPPED them and also it was INCEST and OMEGAVERSE and they call him DADDY while he FUCKS THEM INTO THE MATTRESS and talks about their PUSSY the WHOLE time

And both make me want to throw up in my mouth and momentarily wish I had the power to arbitrarily ban ppl from posting on the internet

Do you still like big time rush or has James ruined them for you?

i have absolutely no idea how long ago this was from but like. y'all what even is this offhand ask lmao ( ; ⚆ _ ⚆ )

but alright screw it, just to set the record straight: i loved Big Time Rush lots and lots, that much is obvious. the nick show itself was such an integral part of my childhood, and i absolutely have no regrets about rediscovering the band last 2020 and diving in headfirst right into the deep end *Hot Summer by Heffron Drive starts blasting out* of their music and inevitably joining the fandom. i'm especially forever thankful for all the interesting experiences and fun projects and amazing friends i've made along the way, so i'm sincerely always going to have a certain fondness for BTR in the deepest crevices of my vv heart and soul.....

although yes, certainly *that* whole situation and other such related unfortunate controversies had kinda soured it to the point where i got uncomfortable calling myself a rusher—but that ultimately wasn't what made me fall out, it was just plain 'ol ✨burnout✨ idk keeping up with the fandom just got a little bit too hectic and way too toxic for me, so i moved on to other things better for my peace of mind. anyway, i'm mostly into cool J-pop stuff and ofc my most beloved svensk pojkband FO&O nowadays (also for language-learning purposes hehe :^D) and tbh these have been so incredibly wonderful and healing for me.....but i confess, i still kinda miss BTR and check in on them from time to time. hell, i even have a whooole bunch of chaotic BTR ocs that casually live rent-free in my mind now and forever and i'm constantly tempted to return to this rotting blog just so I can endlessly infodump lore abt them but i'm Annoying™ and who'd want that anyway soooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so yes, i do love Big Time Rush. despite everything, i still like the show and the music, i like all the silly wacky unhinged creations and nostalgic memories i have of it, i like the fandom generally and seeing notifs still pop up on this inactive blog as the ever-faithful rushers continue to thrive and be inspired by the band and its legacy (shoutout to all the new-wave tumblrushers hehe i see u guys much love and hugs and i hope y'all keep up all the fun vibes and creativity here mwah xoxo (⁠*⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠)⁠/⁠～⁠♡), and i really don't wanna allow anything to ruin all those good feelings i got from them, even if that means being critical and letting go of certain aspects. i don't have to love everything about it, really. just enough for me is hopefully enough ❤️‍🩹

and now, the musical journey continues...?

(p.s. #1: UNRELATED-ISH GIF BUT ALSO I PROMISE THIS GIF IS RELEVANT BC HE'S TECHNICALLY ONE OF MY BTR OCS SO LIKE THAT COUNTS RIGHT??? (⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠˙̫̮⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠))

(p.s. #2: BTR actually dropped by our country in their world tour last October 2024,,, too little, too late :"))) and apparently there was a whole fucking drama that went down abt it too??? anubayan nakakahiya gagi ahshdjsjdk)
