lily evans is the only one in the gryffindor girls dorms that dates men. marlene, mary, and emmeline definitely make fun of her for that.

depression super sucks because if you cope with it decently people will say it's normal and you are making it for no reason, but if you don't cope with it well enough people will ask you to stop because it makes them uncomfortable. sorry my depression is inconveniencing you i guess.

somewhat niche academia rant of the day: a lot of basic science research is quite separate from the actual health application to humans, which is . fine and i personally want to do basic research not translational so i get it. but i feel like a lot of these researchers lack compassion for the people that their work is ultimately about/for. was thinking about this bc i went to a lecture that i was quite excited about. the speaker was studying why a disease has a more severe impact on obese people. and even though she wasn’t really talking about application to (human) patients it was so clear just from the figures she had on her slides that she had no compassion for this population and seemed fatphobic. left feeling really dismayed with the whole event and renewed belief that we need to teach science in context and care about the translation for impacted populations-even if that’s not the goal of our day-to-day research- beyond what we write in grants.

As someone who has engaged in syscourse, you are absolutely right to want to avoid it. It is horrible and toxic and, ultimately, unnecessary. I no longer have a syscourse stance, as I just apply my moral principles of being a kind and respectful person to everyone regardless of toxic internet discourse.
Feel free to ignore by the way, as you said you are uncomfortable getting into syscourse topics. The ask you just got bothered me a bit, so I decided to send a more positive one in.
THIS!! THIS EXACTLY!!
no because ur so right tho! just be nice to people it literally isnt hard 😭
and we really appreciate the positivity 🥺 /genuine

Oh man just when I thought I've seen it all here I come across a bunch of pro-isreal blogs calling the Irish juddenhassen and characterizing them as "drunk football hooligans cosplaying as Palestinian" ... Talk about having a shallow and deliberately dismissive understanding of a country's history. I can't possibly imagine the history or conflict that makes Palestine relatable to the Irish. Also the 'cosplaying' dig is hilarious because you definitely wouldn't respect them more if they were actually Palestinian!

thinks about how everything points at me having moral ocd and about how my abusive flatmate triggered that same thing on purpose yesterday, calling me an abusive fash prick and saying i'm not really a leftist i'm all talk
and my partner not understanding how bad it is bc i suggested calling the cops to have abusive flatmate evicted and my partners reaction was one of disgust at "pigs" and. well i'm certainly having a time here. and not a good one.

Re: Descant and the rest of that series:
Is there a scene or idea you'd really-really love to include in it but can't, for whatever reason?
;__; I cherish this ask in my little hands like a soft bird, thank you so much for asking!!!
I mean, the answer is existentially horrifying, because: I have a full whole another story that goes into the "Child Timeline" version of the events of Descant (so the one that goes to MM's and Twilight Princess). I am unbelievably giddy about some of the ideas that are in there in terms of character development and just, Moments. It is the main daydream I am cursed with right now.
I have written test scenes and like, monologues and stuff that I just reread yesterday and went "shiiiit that goes haaard", so, pretty into it. It is roughly outlined.
The outline is 5k long.
So, beyond not really thinking it is realistic for me to dive into a 100k epic dark fantasy story about the nature of power and survival and responsability when I *already* have a series of science-fiction that I really love and want to finish going on, my ideas for this story are often incredibly visual, which is pretty rare for me; and so I have a lot of trouble imagining it as anything but a comic or a series, because of the external point of view and everything it allows that internal PoV (even multiple PoVs) can only approximate. Both options are literally ridiculous.
So I am indeed cursed to writhe about this story in my heart and be reasonable and *not* commit to it.
:(((((((
