it is impossible for me to get a perfect grade in a class bc i'm always like hey if i don't do this one assignment i'll still get a passing grade that's all that matters
#im really like who cares about the number as long as i didnt fail#my summer classes r abt to be over and for one of them it was literally just write 6 essay-ish assignments and youll get 100 but ofc i was#like hey if i dont do one of them ill still get a B#always trying to do the bare minimum ig#it really would not have been hard to do all 6 of them 😭#uk this is a deeper conversation but this also has to do w how a class is being taught and whether the intention of the teacher is for the#student to really be Learning or if they r just like do this and that for a grade#bc the other class im taking is being presented in a way where the focus is so much more on deeper thinking and what kind of things can u#take away from the material#and i could have skipped a class but i went to all of them#it also inspired me to read academic articles about the movies i watch? which i have never wanted to do before so . actually life changing#ANYWAYS time to write 700 words :p#mp

Muggle college AU where Harry sneaks into tom’s dorm room (after making sure to drug tom’s water earlier ofc) and takes pictures of him while he sleeps and posts them online. because god fucking dammit, Tom riddle is the most annoying RA that could possibly exist, and he wants a little bit of light revenge.
Harry realizes that “light revenge” may have gotten out of hand around the same time he started stripping Tom, and suddenly he was balls deep in both Tom riddle and a felony. The gravity of the situation did nothing to prevent Harry from taking a video, even though it was just more evidence that could be used against Harry.
#i don’t wanna over-work it so have a barely thought out idea!#tomarry#tom riddle#bottom tom riddle#harry potter#non con#somnophilia#I heart somno if you couldn’t tell#cuz like Tom Riddle is such a brat but he can’t be when he’s unconscious !#I also really like the idea that Harry was convinced Tom was stalking him so of course to confirm this he had to stalk Tom back!#(tom was not stalking him)#(he was too busy figuring out how to get away with another murder)#and so harry decides to finally get revenge on Tom for being an asshole (doing his job and confiscating materials not allowed on campus)#by taking embarrassing pictures of him when he’s at his most vulnerable#the idea was that Harry’d post em online somewhere or use it as blackmail#(harry just wanted to jerk off to em)#but all of a sudden harry is having the best sex of his life (it doesn’t matter that tom’s asleep it’s fine) and he doesn’t want this to be#his only night with Tom#so he leaves Tom all messy and used on his dorm bed with a note telling him to check his phone#which has texts from Harry with the video and pics of their night together <3#he used his burner phone tho ofc ;-3#anyways#Tom thinks Harry knows about The Murders (Harry has no clue about The Murders) and freaks out#and eventually offers to let harry fuck him as much as he wants as long as he ‘keeps it secret’#and so starts a horridly fucked up situationship that Tom can’t leave for fear of his murders being exposed#but also he comes to crave these meetings with Harry#meanwhile harry is like the closest thing to a himbo that a stalker can be#he’s just happy to be here (sexually coercing Tom Motherfucking Riddle)#I have many thoughts

my fave part about the last ask is they said BOTH were given to Lyanna by the author which implies that they are saying she has explicit and solitary ownership of both the crown (she does, but sort of irrelevant as Rhaegar is holding the crown, not giving it to Elia) AND Rhaegar. Which. Drawing Elia with Rhaegar is not offensive because she is literally his wife and was canonically at the same place as him relatively frequently. As given by the author… not really a fan theory. And anyone viewing this as a shipping piece is a bit goofy.
i feel like the crown IS relevant to elia as well considering all this shit kind of started going downhill when he crowned lyanna with it. she was there, she was shamed by rhaegar riding past her at the tourney of harrenhal, it can definitely be used as a symbol of rhaegar and elia's marriage starting to deteriorate. it wasn't meant as a shipping piece and i don't think it should be controversial even if i had drawn rhaegar crowning elia queen of love and beauty outright because i've never been and will never be nasty about lyanna especially not over a silly ship war or in defense of a blonde man
#i feel like we're forgetting fandom is supposed to have fun alternate scenarios and aus and transformative work#even if i was the world's most hardcore elia rhaegar shipper that doesnt at all take away from canon material or affect it in any way#its ok . im not bothered by anons being snappy with me just ignore it#txt#asks

I think it's reached the status of pet peeve for me at this point, how common it is in the fandom for people to assume that adoption into the Jiang family was a unilateral good, that Wei Wuxian definitely wanted and which was withheld from him, thereby proving he was not valued enough by his sect and teacher.
Partly just because that's boring, and leads to boring interpretations of the characters, personal opinion.
Partly because it often tends to reflect an uncritical absorption of the in-universe classist belief that being the son of Wei Changze was inherently valueless, and not worth keeping for its own sake.
And maybe especially because I'm starting to feel like it arises from an overall really flat perception of adoption as an institution, that American fans of a Chinese piece of fiction should maybe subject to more scrutiny.
#hoc est meum#mdzs#meta#griping#the overseas adoption industry#taking a kid in and showering him in material resources and opportunities is Good#adopting him offers security#but it also takes away his freedom and prior identity#giving up your family name isn't a small matter!#so in some ways adoption is actually a really fucked up thing to do in this scenario! given the impossibility of free consent#from a situation of total dependency#one of the costs jgy paid for his name#was calling a woman who hated him Mother and owing her every filial duty#i honestly think wwx would not have chosen to pay that cost#without some larger impetus than access to jiang family rights and privileges#disclaimer interesting things can definitely be done *with* the idea of wwx wanting adoption etc#but most of them are harder to achieve in the context of assuming this was both unmitigatedly true and obvious to everybody

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child#when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me#for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites#while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs#at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books#which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa#anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop#one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me#in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card#tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition#later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned#i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds#but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me#they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes#and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories#which i was always sentimental about as child#from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides#and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns#to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth#parents passed when i was a child#never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness#and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions#and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally#and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost#even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions#but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth#thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

What was the point in doing b&c in the show it had zero lasting impact and now they’re doing the whole son for a son thing again with Rhaenyra and Alicent. Like why not just have that happen from the start it makes more sense in the story they’re letting, not that the story their telling really makes sense at all. Did they only include jaehaerys’ death so it could be another kick to tg bc it kinda seems like it. They’re just so all over the place it’s kinda funny they don’t even know what this show is supposed to be anymore. It really is just a fanfic with all the inconsistencies in the plot and characters, this is what I expect from a middle schooler on wattpad not so called professionals.
#anti hotd#anti hotd writers#anti team black#just to be sure#also the fact that Alicent did this to her kids and now she’s gonna bail#they’ve made it so clear aegon didn’t want it but she forced it bc her father wanted it#she could never become her own person away from her father so now she’s gonna sacrifice her children to do it#they say she did her best but…#season 1 Ali fighting for her kids vs season 2 Ali getting them in the worst position possible then leaving#also wasn’t rhaenyra just there in front of you trying to do the same exact thing like pls fuck off#this is so dumb it could have happened in episode 3 or even episode 1 or some shit#this whole season has been a waste of time#they had the opportunity to take the source material and make it better and at every turn they when no💕

If Fairy World oeprates on schooling and being tall enough for the job (ex. Cookie's Court; A New Wish) maybe Peri turned down dentistry because he was too short
#this is a joke. mostly because I think if there WAS a height requirment to practice dentistry like there is for Fairy Law-#for whatever reason- a dentist fairy would not have to be very big#but listen I just wanted to make the post#also knowing what we do theres a school for magical children creatures and we can ASSUME a highschool and MAYBE a college (though I have-#A theory about how higher education might work in Fairy World) and we know you have to go to the Fairy Academy to become a Godparent#It's crazy that being a lawyer has less qualification than being a dentist.#though I suppose if the judge is ONLY even Jorgen and that guy reads Da Rules every night before bed then it would feel justified?#Loving that Da Rules isn't only something every fairy (every creature?) has to follow but there's spesific rules for spesific occupations#its also likely required material in schools or smth#I like silly world building like this tehehe. OH and the fairy supreme court or whatever but thats like. Major Fairy crime-#Jorgen is like small claims court- but also the first step before supreme court unless its egregous. like Timmy's secret wish#like if Cookie proved Cosmo and Wanda revealed their magic maybe they would go to Supreme court? Then again Jorgen has authority to-#fire them. And take away magic AND wings (Department of Magical Violations)#though that might be temporary unless he gets an ok from supreme???#ok. ill stop there#fairly oddparents

"can we stop pretending the evil stepmother trope is bad and boring" oh my FUCKING GOD just reread the book!!!! just reread the fucking book!!!!!! if you want the book canon so bad it's right there, go read it!!!!! you've got to have it in your possession since you talk about it all the fucking time and i'd be astounded if someone this fucking pressed hasn't actually read it!!!!!! the change to rhaenyra and alicent's relationship has been known since they first cast the fucking show!!!!! it's been there since episode one!!!!!!! if you don't like it don't watch the show and just REREAD THE FUCKING BOOK!!!!!!
#personal#house of the dragon#fandom critical#anti asoiaf fandom#anti team black#my GOD#like i've gone into great detail about when i think the changes the show makes from its source material haven't worked#but it's absolutely fine to change rhaenyra and alicent's relationship to make a more interesting story#because it IS#like i'm fine with book canon dance of dragons it's not my favorite part of fire and blood#cuz that's the conquest and all the conquerors stuff#but it's fine#but i do think what they attempted to do with rhaenyra and alicent in the show is much more interesting and complex#and leads to a lot of narrative richness and interesting characterization that you WANT from a serialized storytelling format#like a tv show#(do i think it's been executed well? not really because i don't think these writers are very good but that's not the point)#but my god quit your fucking WHINING#this is like complaining about the velaryons being black because it's different from the book#you've known it's been there since preproduction no one pulled the wool over your eyes#and no one's taking f&b away from you anyway so just READ THE FUCKING BOOK AGAIN#stop watching the show and just reread the story you like#it's not that fucking hard

Creating the festival and the clothing brand was the most brilliant thing he's done and it's clearly something that resonates with him. The potential that these two fronts have is incredible and the time for the clothes is perfect because that style is so on trend right now AMAZING
yeah the festival is genius in so many ways; him getting to play (and headline) a festival when he wasn’t getting booked for any, thereby proving to bookers he was more than fit for festival stages, promoting his fave smaller bands and artist, building his personal brand as an important figure in british indie circles and gaining so must buzz and respect in the industry, I could go on it is brilliant..
and now 28 clothing which also seems so authentic and true to who he is while yes also being super relevant to current fashion trends.
his brain..!
#he’s thriving and I can’t wait to see him take on festivals next summer#that said I do think it was good he had some time to develop his style into what FITF became#before doing festivals#and also I think he might not have felt entirely confident with playing to a festival audience either#because I don’t really think walls would have done super well as festval material#i mean that’s speculations but I think it was right for him to gain touring experience before going up in front of audiences#who either knew nothing about him or had preconceptions (and prejudice) about his boyband past#but now he’s ready!#anon asks#away from home festival#28 clothing

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism
#i need to talk about this#disclaimer : im beyond terrible at putting my point across#so with that being said let me attempt at it#let's take look at the hate and misogyny women receive for liking a certain genre of books#that is so often simply countered with let people enjoy things#but we cannot let that narrative take over a whole as if critical thinking is “bad”?#booktok has made it so that disliking a popular books makes you the person with the superiority complex who should just let people enjoy-#-things#but when did criticizing actively target audiences who like that peice of literature? When did that become the narrative?#its all mindless consumption without a second thought to the actual material which can easily be credited to the tropification of books#the enemies do turn into lovers and the best friends do fall in love 10 years down the line#classifying books into tropes and then fulfilling that promise gives books an illusion of being “good” since it checks those boxes-#-that the reader picked up the book for in the first place#the act of reading has kind of been substituted by the act of being a reader and just owning stacks of books#we have turned away from any form of analysis or criticism#if it scratches the itch then its automatically the perfect book without further thought#i cant help but contribute the mere existence of that “itch” to how mordern books are classified into tropes with set plotlines#intelligenctualism is almost always looked at as elitism#reading only classics doesn't make you an intellectual individual but looking at any book with a critical lens may it be a classic or a rom#-com does#criticizing certain aspects of your absolute favorite books is intellectualism and not bullying people who like anything but classics#that distinction is so far lost in translation that talking about how a popular book is objectively bad is being a “hater”#well then im a hater#this is not a hate post for people who actively enjoy booktock or the more popular books#im just trying to introduce any amount of nuance into the conversation thats all#i can honestly go on forever but i think ill end my ranting here#literary criticism#literature#books#anti intellectualism

israelis get more upset over people pointing out that being a non-Palestinian citizen of israel means being a settler and often an active participant in apartheid, than they do over the fact that there’s an apartheid and genocide happening.
like sorry not sorry, but whenever I see an Israeli whining about how “we’re not our government” or “Israelis are ppl too” it’s like cool. so anyways they discovered another mass grave of Palestinians today.
#🌌when the stars align ; reigns rambles🌌#if ur an israeli over the age of 18 and you’re not orthodox or an abstentor then you’ve served in the IOF#and claiming active pride in an identity entirely constructed around apartheid does not exactly inspire trust#like im not talking about simply being born there. but when you grow up in an active apartheid state#as part of the group favored by said apartheid#and you don’t actively fight against it and reject it materially#then sorry not sorry people have a right to be angry with you#like do you not understand that in every ‘israeli’ university there is active apartheid being carried out#and that you taking advantage of that apartheid whil not standing with Palestinians at the same university#then you are part of the problem#if there was brutal occupation and constant murder happening 20 miles away from me I would do something about it#but instead you’re complaining about being disliked on the internet and think that’s peak oppression???

MK1!Tomas should pick better topic to talk about with original Bi-Han than the issue of dead father... both because Sub-Zero won't care and the Sub-Zero brothers backstory may hit too close to Tomas' own comfort.
Timeline mess AU:
MK1!Bi-Han meets cryomancer kid!Kuai Liang (+ one sad pyromancer adult Kuai Liang)
Kid MK1!Kuai Liang meets MK9!Smoke (+ one sad cryomancer adult Kuai Liang)
Old Lin Kuei meets the new Lin Kuei
#mortal kombat#bi han#sub zero#smoke#tomas vrbada#timeline mess au#cienie's art#cienie's animations#just to be clear original bi han talk about dead mom and youngest sister comes from tie in material to mk mythologies sub zero#text says mother and sister were never seen again and though i do hope the woman managed to run away and hide from lin kuei i feel she was#rather killed than anything else#and really isn't that too close to mk1 smoke's backstory as he lost mother and sister too?#so yeah let's take the silly au idea into some dark place

Jean-Paul Sartre, Saint Genet
#a literary analysis and character study#that made Genet stop writing for five years#berserk materials#because this is one apt interpretation of what femto is and how he was born from someone like griffith#and I don’t mean these quotes but the whole thing#how evil is a projection#well I am not going to be able to explain it in the tags#but this really clarifies so many things about how I feel about griffith becoming femto#what causality is or better what it does when we submit to it#what role void’s words played in the end before griffith’s last choice during the eclipse#of course the whole essay is about much more than this but at the moment I am taking away what has been bothering me the most#eri reads berserk#<- for me to find it later

as expected people online are already reacting to stuff from the Game Freak leaks as "actually stuff they planned to use" and not "this is the stuff they decided *not* to put in the game". given it is BETA material you'd think people would be able to separate it from the final product but alas
#if there is anything I have learned from watching the Pokémon fandom online for most of my life#its that people dont read and dont use critical thinking skills#I am already dreading the inevitable youtube theory videos taking the SCRAPPED lore and treating it as the Actual Real Lore#especially when some of that stuff was beta material from 20+ years ago game freak have clearly since fully moved away from
