“Friendship can be romantic.”
#our culture puts so much emphasis on romantic partnerships#there’s even an academic#term for it:#amatonormativity#meaning that we think that partnerships are superior#this can lead to desperate feeling obsession#with finding a partner#that not only hurt us#but it isolate us#and it domes more damage than help#yes friendship aren’t always platonic they can be deeply romantic#sometimes satiate our desire deep seated in our subconscious#the desire for that type of connection#while it’s different for everyone i respect that#intimate friendship#love your friends

Why's research about allergies specifically so systemically infested with the most garbage articles that do sketchy bullshit with citing their sources 😭
This article claims that the development of food allergies is linked to these things, explaining the rapid increase in food allergies:
Industrialization
Urbanization
Widespread sanitation programs
Antibiotics use
Highly processed diets
Physical inactivity
I looked at the citation attached to this list, it's number 13 if you want to look at it, and here's what the source said about each of these things
Industrialization- Supported by implication (air pollution is connected to allergies)
Urbanization - Supported (air pollution, lack of exposure to sources of beneficial microbiome biodiversity)
Widespread sanitation programs - Unsupported, no mention of cleanliness, hygiene, or sanitation standards in source
Antibiotics use - Supported (beneficial bacteria killed by antibiotics)
Highly processed diets - Possibly alluded to through the mention of dietary fiber being important for gut bacteria, but this is a stretch.
Physical inactivity - Unsupported, not mentioned
Then I found another article that does the SAME FUCKING THING (It said that 'progressively cleaner environments' were a likely cause of allergy development. The source it cited—written by the guy that PROPOSED the hygiene hypothesis—said that studies conducted for the 'hygiene hypothesis' showed no correlations, but that it was still 'biologically plausible.')
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

simon “i cant do one-night stands because i catch feelings” riley but it’s in an obsessive way.
he realizes how your bodies are so compatible with each other that he begins to track you down to ‘accidentally’ bump into you. but this only ever happens on very specific days—days when fucking sort of becomes the natural next thing to do and who else could be the best option for you when simon, the man who made you cum more than three times within the short hours you two were together, was right there?
and you’re not foolish enough to deny yourself of the razing euphoria that only he could give to you—your bodies locking together, his hand a steady weight on the back of your neck, the other bruising as it gripped your hip, and his cock slammed so far in you that you swear he was hitting places you never knew were your pleasure points—so of course you would choose him. you miss him, after all.
(you miss the way he made you beg. the way he made you cry. he was so perfect. so gentle and kind. but he was also so mean. so dominating and overwhelming.
he was all you ever needed—someone to fuck you right.)
“one more round, yeah?” simon croons, chest heaving as he catches his breath.
your walls clamp down on him at hearing his words, before a garbled whine trickles from your kiss-swollen lips. he watches as your head shuffles against the pillows with your abrupt nods, further muffling your gasped out mewls.
simon giggles, his lips pulled into a grin that is a bite too mean.
seems like he’s fucked you stupid again, huh?

percy doing better than annabeth in college is one my favorite developments in the rrverse. if we reflect on percy and annabeth's academic upbringing. annabeth living at camp allowed her to receive accommodations for her adhd and dyslexia and surround herself with like-minded campers who had the same limitations. whereas percy was ridiculed, belittled, and routinely humiliated because of his adhd and dyslexia. even more so, percy's friends and family leave him out of the loop on so many important issue (no chb orientation film, no information about the great prophecy) which perpetuates his subpar confidence and self-esteem in his skills as a student and a demigod. but going to college at NRU changes his mindset because he receives the accommodations he should have gotten years ago and fucking thrives to the point of getting higher grades than annabeth — a person he deems way smarter and more prepared than him in every way. the most important thing percy is learning now is that a supportive environment makes all the difference, and he is more capable than he initially thought.
#in no way is this me trying to diminsh annabeth's struggles#because she canonically does#but she also has access to resources that accomdate her learning disabilities#whereas percy never did#even in an environment where demigods are supposed to be on equal footing because of their shared struggles#percy often gets the short end of the stick because no has properly prepared him for anything#he canonically has to figure shit out on his own and that pisses me offc#but nru gives him the accommodations and opportunity and environment to thrive#and he does so well that he earns higher grades than annabeth#somebody percy holds in high regard#this development proves percy and annabeth are canonically on par with each other academically and that they always were#what an amazing decision#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percy getting higher grades than annabeth#loves this for him#he deserves to thrive in the mortal world and our boy is doing it

i'm feeling a lot of emotions about how the adventurer's guide straight up says laios is smart
like, of course he is. of course he is. i already knew that and i think a lot of other people do too, whether they've read this or not. but also, the perception of him in-universe and also in a lot of the fandom is that he's an idiot, and he's just... not.
he's smart, but not in a way people want. he's smart, but not socially. he's smart, but only in ways that benefit his interests--his love of monsters, his ability to fight them, the things that will save his life and the lives of those he loves. laios is intelligent, but only if you judge him for himself rather than compare him to society at large, to what people think of when they think "smart."
#as someone whose academic smarts are in the toilet and who has a horrible memory i struggle with feeling like an idiot a lot#there's something really validating about laios being canonically acknowledged as intelligent even with how he's treated by others#tox.txt

guy whos sooooo normal abt the Mountains of Chaos fantasyhigh. Like, the fact that Brennan establishes it as this classic adventure location full of monsters and dungeons for learning adventurers to explore and gain xp, and it’s also the site of kalvaxus’ lair and the temple of the earth defiant its a very fantastical place. BUT, it’s also the place where riz’s grandparents immigrated from, and it’s the place where the cultures worshipping gods like ruvina and ankarna originated from, and the fact that solace literally has a border patrol for the mountains of chaos that the Applebees are literally apart of. It’s something about these fantastical elements that are so often focused on by the people in solace, so completely glossing over the people and cultures that live there and originate from there. I’m so regular about it and I think about it a normal amount
#Soooo obsessed with the politics of fantasy high#Like the fact that they have dignitaries from fallinel and people like the dawns from high court in solace#And provide people like bill seacaster with solace from the law#And yet they have an active border patrol on the mountains of chaos#The fact that it’s not even like it’s own nation and the members of solace probably don’t recognize the people that live there of having#An organized government#Sorry it’s so fascinating to me I would read literal fake academic essays about it#dimension 20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year

every time i recommend a book on palestine or israel by an israeli author i get mad all over again about how much the field is literally dominated by them. like israeli institutions literally have the monopoly on studies of palestine that even critiques of israeli nationalism and zionism come from the israeli side. because of the occupation, their institutions deny resources to palestinian scholars and institutions by using them themselves, thus maintaining the monopoly and controlling the narrative. this means that palestinian scholars are often forced to submit to the racist zionist policies of israeli universities if they want their research funded. the fact that they allow critical perspectives means that they are so secure in their power they don't view them as a threat, cos they know that the scholars need them for their resources, which means they get to set the terms and hold these resources over ppls heads, and they have the power to cut ppl off immediately if they step out of line. see what happened to nadera shalhoub kevorkian at the hebrew university last year. this is why the academic boycott is so important.
#like even the journal of palestine studies publishes israeli academics cos they literally have no choice. no one else gets funding#which means no one else gets to stand out in the field

I know its not canon but I always liked the idea that Flurry Heart grew up to be a normal pony. Never went on any princess-title-earning quest, no grand magical destiny, no real royal responsibilities. Just a normal pony (who happens to be an alicorn) free to enjoy life with her friends and hobbies
#mlp#mlpfim#my little pony#flurry heart#my little pony friendship is magic#I picture her as maybe being a historian or academic inspired by her aunt twilight#or maybe a designer or event planner or even an engineer#just like some really normal job lol#since the title of princess is supposed to be earned and not inherited in equestria not that flurry heart isnt worthy of being a princess#but i feel like it makes more sense that shes just a normal pony#maybe she helps raise the sun and moon when twilight needs a day off once in awhile though#who inherits guardianship of the crystal empire then you ask?#idk. alicorn sunburst. lol!#wait maybe shed have some kind of weather related job since she has a snowflake cutie mark

okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is
#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#not art#fhjy spoilers#its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical#like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real#like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this#yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out#meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring!#theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it#its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started#the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show#which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them#and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear#that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others#thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and#a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he#wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude#its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others#and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means. Is This Game Still Fun To Play. ITS A RAGEQUIT LIMIT#Im literally running from one end to another of this conspiracy board Ive pulled out of nowhere#Ill draw after this I just wanna get this out. gods this episode has done nothing but furthering my delusion of grandeur actually#Im the hottest smartest manthing on earth Im king fucking midas over here. anyways uh! great ep!
