Ive seen some posts theorizing that 'oh wait what if betty wasnt that great and simon has just been putting her on a pedestal this whole time and has an idealized version of her in his head he is idolizing' & obviously he IS putting her on a pedestal (and idolizing her he has a whole Golb shrine) but if f&c goes the route of her not being good too him then it will be a waste of a whole show

#I can't find the posts I saw about this to determine if this is what they were saying/implying #I can't remember exactly what they said either so I can't say for sure if they were implying she was more dubious and meanspirited #than previously known #That is what I interpreted them as implying tho #so im not putting words in anyones mouth #but I am just saying that if she 'isn't so great actually' as in she was MEAN or something then it's a waste #also wouldn't make sense for her #she gave up everything for him #now if its 'not so great' as in they had couples spats #or she sometimes said things she shouldn't #or stuff like that then yeah obvs that's just how relationships are she isn't perfect #I mean we KNOW she's 'not so great' in that regard with how she handled him when he was ice king #she still loves & wants whats best for him tho #even if simon sees her through rose tinted glasses she's still good too him #merkerler speaks #its late im tired i saw one of the posts and lost it #it gave me things to say

can’t believe there’s no balcony neighbors to friends to lovers obikin au

so like imagine like anakin and obi-wan live in apartments that face each other and are separated by a narrrow alleyway, so when both are out on their own balconies, they can pretty easily see each other and talk. they don’t but they could is the thing, it’s just a weird sort of line to step over, being in someone’s space so intimately but not being invited there, witnessing someone’s life move along like an unstoppable ocean current, but not being in the water with them.

anakin knows what book obi-wan is reading and which newspaper he subscribes to. obi-wan knows anakin’s favored brand of beer and how he sounds when he sings his baby to sleep. anakin has overheard many arguments between obi-wan and his lawyer and his estranged wife about the divorce case. they’re physically close enough that when anakin steps out one summer night, obi-wan can wordlessly pass him a cigarette over the divide. “i don’t smoke normally,” obi-wan says, with a flick of his wrist to shake loose the ash. “i know,” anakin says, because he does. “divorce was finalized yesterday,” obi-wan says. “i know,” anakin says, because he does. “my name’s obi-wan,” obi-wan says. “anakin,” anakin says because he hadn’t known that.

#kit's silly lil aus #obikin #to the surprise of no one i am currently ssitting out on my house's balcony #and someone came out and sat on their balcony/sunroom #and started playing guitar and singing #and i was like whoa i don't know your name or whaat you do but you can sing well #and honestly i'd marry you in a heartbeat lol #(might be the glass of wine talking)#(or i have more anakin in me than previously assumed)#anyway obi-wan gets a grill and puts it on his balcony #and goes inside while something is cooking #and anakin is like!! it's on fire!! the food iss ruined ! !#and jumps over to save obi-wan's food #and obi-wan is like well might as well stya for dinner #also obi-wan is shocked whn anakin has 2 babies #he really thought it was just the one #kit: can't believe this au doesn't exist yet #also kit: have this incredibly niche au i havent seen in any other fandom and don't think is a well known trope

J.L. Laynesmith taking the 'Buckingham Did It™' route for the murder of the Princes in the Tower AND the rumors of Edward IV's bastardy ... I have to laugh

#my post #history media #this was in her book 'Cecily Duchess of York' which I have ... Thoughts on #I really liked it overall - it was meticulously researched and gave me information that I hadn't previously known about Cecily #However this often contrasts with Laynesmith's own very evident biases assumptions and conjecture #and the effect is very jarring #This becomes slightly more pronounced after 1464 and actually ridiculous after 1483.#She also suggests that Henry VI may have genuinely died of a melancholy-induced stroke like Edward IV claimed which is just...lmfao #I don't know what to say at this point lol #To be fair she does specifically note that he died shortly after Edward arrived in London and that most contemporaries believed #it was far too convenient #which is far more acknowledgement and culpability than she gives Richard III whose culpability for the 'disappearance' of his nephews is #literally never touched upon - the blame is conveniently dumped on Buckingham #honestly the whole Deal with Buckingham is so odd. dude was a political neophyte; was given a primarily ceremonial role by Edward IV #throughout his reign and was younger than Richard (who was a seasoned politician). What makes you think Buckingham of all people #was some kind of political genius and making decisions over RICHARD of all people lol?#anyway #This book was pretty decent with Margaret of Anjou which was great #it was less decent with Elizabeth Woodville which was not so great :/#some of the assumptions it made (for Cecily's benefit naturally) were so weird #and the way she 'reassessed' Elizabeth's role in 1483 was very distasteful #I might make a separate post on that because it was very annoying #(also claiming Henry Tudor landed with 'a small band of Lancastrian exiles' - yeah no. the majority of the 'exiles' who supported him were #Yorkist aka Edward IV's supporters who opposed Richard. because this was very much an internal civil war between the dynasty #and Henry became a claimant only after being chosen by Yorkists after the October risings made clear the Princes were dead #the claim that challenged Richard's was Elizabeth of York not Henry's. let's not twist words here)#(ALSO I'm sorry but William Stanley certainly did not choose to commit his troops to Henry Tudor because Henry was 'his brother's stepson'#he did that out of loyalty to Edward IV and his children as Henry was the chosen claimant of the Yorkist faction #hence why he may have betrayed Henry VII in the 1490s for Perkin Warbeck who pretended to be Edward's second son. so jot that down)#you really see these small minor details which are very much chosen purposefully and paint a very different picture lol

I hope i die ..

#nothing even happened btw #well. i argued with my mom two days in a row but tbh thats insignificant it is a known fact that she decides she knows what im trying to say #even when she doesn't listen to What im saying!#thats not enough to make me want to kms anymore LOL #bc 1. im older and used to it 2. she's actually waaaaay better at being normal than previously #anyway not the point idk i just dont want to be here im not sad im not miserable im just.. aimless #and it's not really fun to be wandering #every time i feel a nice breeze or see the sun set all gorgeously i feel ready to die afterwards. it's like #“ah. well. that was pleasant. that was as good as it gets. i don't need to feel that again. this much was enough.”#i like watching the sky and i like feeling the wind on my face but i dont like it enough to want to finish two degrees and get disowned #z.post

also dreamed recently that the hot new strategy for marketing your romance novel was holding a themed sex party. most of these were het but one was for gay/bi men specifically. matt beringer and andré 3000 were the guests of honor

#edification #i listen to the national a lot but not andre 3000 #idt i've ever heard any of his music. i learned more about him in the 30sec i spent googling him #(to make sure i had his name spelled right) than i'd previously known in my whole life

#do you know this drag artist #drag #drag queen #I got polls #I wasn't previously familiar with her and chose this pic because it had a lot of personality #she's definitely better known for her activism than her looks though so I think the look-oriented metric shafts her a bit ToT

my best friend has been very distant w me lately and i asked today if she wanted to hang out and she said she probably couldn't bc it's her brothers birthday but she would let me know if she could and i have her location and i just looked and she's at her boyfriends house rn....

#we have it bc we're roomates so we started sharing locations when we first moved in like in case someone doesn't come home at night or smth #she recently told me that she wants to move out bc she has always wanted to live alone and she can finally afford it. and i asked her #directly like is there an issue because she is so non confrontational so she has never ever mentioned me doing anything that bothers her #and i said please tell me if there's something wrong because it would really suck if there was and i never got a chance to fix it because #you never told me. and she said no it has nothing to do with that i really just feel like it's time for me to live on my own. and a couple #days ago she was like okay i'm next in line for my apartment i'll probably move out in april. and i try to get her to hang out still and #she always has something else going on and i swear every night this week she's been at her boyfriends.#and if i see her around our apartment and try to make conversation at all she's so like short about it and barely responds like will only #give one word answers. i feel like it kind of started when i started dating e but i realized that i was spending less time with her and i #didn't want to be the girl that loses all my friends bc of a boyfriend so i started specifically reaching out to hang out with her and she #says no most of the time and never asks me. like i don't know what else i can do.#i'm like maybe it's bc of her boyfriend? bc they've been on again off again for a long time and previously when they were together it was #really distant with her like i barely saw her EVER. and they were mostly broken up for the past couple years and have been together i think #for a while again... but she knows i don't approve of that relationship and so she would like not say when they were talking again. so maybe #since lately they've been hanging out or dating or WHATEVER she doesn't fucking tell me what's going on with him. maybe that's why.#i literally like try to think of ways it could be my fault and maybe i'm being crazy but i cannot even think to blame myself for more than a #fleeting second bc i'm like. i have ASKED HER directly if there is an issue or something i do that bothers her and she says no. so even if #i'm somehow pissing her off would i ever know to change anything?? i just feel so frustrated bc it's like she's an entirely different person #to me. like this is not the person i know. and i don't know what else i could possibly do like i feel like we need to sit down and have a #conversation about it but what good does that do if she just acts like nothing is wrong. but i don't want to lose my friend i have such a #hard time making friends. i've known her since i was 14 like i can't imagine my life without her. we were the only two in our whole friend #group in high school to get out of the church i still love those other girls but we have so little in common now.

ik i'm def jumping to conclusions and i need to consult like at least 2 more doctors abt this so my fate isn't sealed yet. BUT i think it would be very funny in a thematic way if i did indeed have some deadly blood disease, as The Blood Guy

#and if i die from it fr?? bro this would be poetic even. kind of exciting dare i say (<- death obsessed freak)#it's always funny to me that my blood is fucked up it would just be funnier if it's even more fucked up than previously known #(which it is! if my tests usually show 1 or 2 things Off this time it was like. 7)#(but tbf this time i did tests to specifically check that lol usually it's just like. normal check ups for my endo doctor)#medical //#death //#ask to tag #apologies for talking abt bleak topics in a light manner it will happen again :)

today's the anniversary of john's last letter to ada written knowing he is already infected & begging her to go public with everything they uncovered together at arklay, turn on the lab's self destruct & to put him down if she ever saw him turned. she never read his last words, they were many on a list of letters sent to her & burned after her transfer to NEST where she was light on her feet beginning to befriend annette birkin (a relationship that eventually led to an affair), she forgot about john as quickly as he fell in love with her, happy july 8th everyone

#* file // : OOC — ( ��𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐄 . )#i get why this little connection was omitted from RE2R since there's no reason for ada to tie herself to umbrella #especially to someone she just met (leon)#but it is an important part of her role in raccoon city #i have talked about him before & obviously there's a few mentions of him scattered about my replies #& as far as my interpretation is concerned i do think they met at arklay rather than ada pursuing john outside the lab #considering he was made head of research @ arklay around '95 & i don't really see the need for ada's investigation into umbrella #to have lasted longer than a year #while she did play on his feelings & obsession with her it doesn't make sense to me for umbrella's security #to allow someone's girlfriend to visit the premises of their secret research facility unless she is a fellow researcher #& the letter is addressed as if ada is familiar with the facility + john's awareness of her intellect / aptitude at solving puzzles #which was probably a CV requirement for working in spencer's wacky funhouse #i do wish we got a few more hints into their relationship beyond the letter + ada carrying a photo of them with her +#her either faking or being genuinely distraught to hear of his death #because it's one time ada ever makes use of seduction #beyond it her flirtation with leon is kind of always mocking #it's routine for them - muscle memory almost #& much like leon & as i've mentioned previously i do think there was some bond forming between them #wesker's report mentions how john is known as a risk because of his temperament being unsuited for the tyrant project #number one voted most likely to leak umbrella's secrets #with how umbrella treats dissent i'm sure both him & ada were under similar levels of stress #& what makes ada so insidious & ingenious to me is that despite her folly being getting a little too (emotionally) invested in her missions #as i think RE4/RE6 illustrate wonderfully by her breaking character to show concern for people & sympathy for carla #(almost always leon but i take what i can get)#she has no qualms in using people she does genuinely care for #with leon especially it's a case of trust in his survival abilities despite her putting him in harms way to serve as a distraction #& to unknowingly help in her own goals by making her mission easier + taking care of the threat #am i just repeating myself? yea it's what i do

my experience in my schools gifted program is very specific but even when i was little i knew that the program was racist so i dont know how people on here are fully grown adults and yet lacking that knowledge. the gifted program for my general area happened to be in a school in a predominantly non white, poor neighbourhood. i came from a neighbouring school like a kilometre away at most that was majorly white. most of the kids in the gifted program were from all around the city and probably 60-70% white at best (toronto is 45% white as a whole). like the disparity between my class and the class next door… very obvious! also gifted wasnt even good i literally learned nothing for three years so i don’t get the hype

#oh and btw i live on the edge of said neighbourhood between it and the rich white neighbourhood #well. lived. i was born there but we moved out this summer.#but i go to school there still literally a block away from my gifted school #so like. it wasnt about the neighbourhood because thats my homeee #i just didnt go to that school previously because there were like 6 elementary schools in the area so we went to a random one idk lol #but also tbf there wasnt to my eyes any difference in the resources allocated to gifted and non gifted students #unlike my first school which the french students got wayyy better things than english students. which reflected the school culture tbh #(my mom says if you had english kids you were looked down upon)#which isn’t necessarily a privilege thing but it was weird #and then at my current school theres a [redacted well known accelerated program] and they get WAYYY more resources #for that program ehh i think its more white than the general population but its not SUPER white #idk im not in it i failed the entrance test lol

Details: Diamond

All of Diamond’s seizures start as focal seizures, and they rarely progress to bilateral tonic clonic seizures; that usually only happens if he’s unmedicated or has severely overtaxed his telepathy or magic. (Or if there’s other nonsense going on, be it injury or magic.)

His epilepsy has some magic/scifi aspects, but is more or less based on temporal lobe epilepsy. This page has a fairly quick overview and a good video!

#details #details: Diamond #Diamond #epilepsy #(In vaguely related news there is a small but non-zero chance that I get myoclonic seizures?? Discovered as of this round of research)#(Previously I’d only ever seen them described as part of other seizure disorders; not as something that could occur on their own)#(absolutely unverified but this *is* literally the first time I’ve stumbled across something that might explain The Thing sldkdjfhf)#(So. Uh. Might at least mention it to my doctor next visit I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )#(Biggest thing that has me going ‘probably not though’ is that my current med’s biggest known side-effect is lowering the seizure threshold #(And I haven’t been getting all *that* many more of the things than I used to as a kid on different meds)#ooc

I just think that as a PR person your job is to deal with a crisis by not creating a worse one for your client.

#like pr is difficult but I think common sense would’ve driven this one #also interesting that there’s way more being said about this fling than her six year relationship but what do I know 🤷‍♀️#I know you’re supposed to anticipate things but completely painting someone who’s known as like warm and caring as cold and aloof is strange #like it could’ve been left at ‘it was never serious’ it feels very aggressive for some reason #like why the need to drag Tom Hiddleston into this? what did he do to deserve that?#I feel like it seems different from what her team has said before but it most likely came from someone in her sphere #which means it had to have been seen by tree or her #but I feel like Taylor wouldn’t address a relationship that way she does that through her music but these statements seem so different #it most likely came from her camp but it just seems so different from what they’ve previously put out about her #and it’s not like she’s ever going to address it because that’s not how she’s done things

they’re really not making a big deal of the fact that the prince can do magic too huh

#like this is. 50% more people in the world who can do magic than previously known but. nary a ripple in the plot #just a fun training montage with technicolor OFMD sky backdrops #Willow series for ts #with the flute no less?! biiiiig Dorian Storm vibes #knew there was a reason I like this kid!
