#they were like 'ur too special to not be in the gifted kids program'

typical asian parents disappointed that their child miraculously escaped the torture school

im not disagreeing with ur gifted kid post, but the way some of ur stuff is phrased can come off in ways u might not have intended. boiling those sorts of unrealistic expectations of very young kids down to "being complimented too much" ignores that a lot of these kids were unfairly placed in these programs and forced to complete them regardless of how much they struggled with it (and that these kids were in prime environments for developing npd due to overinflated ego from a young age). many gifted kids were given extremely unreasonable expectations and only barely managed to meet them in order to avoid facing punishment for failing. im not saying there ARENT gifted kids who dont treat it like "oh i was so special and now im not boohoo :( i need special treatment for it" but i feel like theres some aspects thats have been unintentionally misunderstood (/nm /nonagg!!! ^^ just wanted to bring this up as more of a discussion than an argument, hope ive made sense!)

No I definitely agree but my point is that I've never seen a genuine discussion from these people about this and I'm sure they exist to some capacity but that's Very Clearly not what the community was formed around nor where the term originated. People don't complain that they had expectations on them they just make stupid tiktoks like "teachers seeing a neurodivergent person: omg you're so smart you're my favorite student!!!" and then act like that's 1. universal and not just for palatable NDs and 2. that being complimented by their teachers was the problem and not everything else

I think it's also important to note that the expectations really weren't worse for gifted kids, it's just that gifted kids got closer to reaching those expectations and felt they actually had a chance whereas everyone else was punished automatically for not coming close. The issue is not specific to any one class or type of class it's a widespread issue with academia as a whole.

I genuinely don't think that gifted kids had it any easier than anyone else but I don't think that they had it harder either. Recently someone while venting told me, "I think school is stealing my family from me" because of the extreme expectations put on them and they're definitely not in any kind of gifted kid program, it's literally just as bad and extreme for all of us.

Like and I really don't think it's a coincidence that the times that I've criticized gifted kids and the times that I've challenged academia is when I've gotten some of my most blatantly ableist asks telling me to "just get over [my disability] and read some fucking books" and grasping at whatever straws they can to make me look "unintelligent" (like yeah I totally don't have trauma with academia I'm just mad because [checks notes] I play undertale sometimes and it made me incapable of coherent thought I guess/s)

The community is inherently classist and ableist and whilst they definitely do have trauma from academia it is not any different than the rest of ours, them separating it as some different and unique trauma just because they did better than us so obviously we just Wouldn't Understand their Huge Brains is just so frustrating and gross and I just really wish people would realize that rather than using this as a crutch not to work on their internalized ableism like yeah take trauma processing at your own pace but that doesn't mean you get to make it everyone else's problem.

Also a lot of people are gonna hate this comparison but I frankly don't see a single difference in gifted kids making up terms to say that their experiences are somehow more severe or even all that different to ours cause they're just Built Different and empaths taking widespread issues that affect everyone and acting like they're just sensitive special little souls and we could never comprehend their pain when really it's the same shit like depression, anxiety, etc. that we all live with on a daily basis.

Childe discord daddy x Reader

Once again, i am so sorry. this is all satire and a joke, it is 1 am dont come at me pls im so sorry 

basically if childe became a discord daddy and you were his little kitten <3

----------------

Childe was, well, very rich. He was also your boyfriend, though you only ever communicate on discord. But that was okay. You were his little kitten and he paid for your discord nitro. You felt like his cool masculinity best showed through your discord calls and roleplays. Today was a tiring day from work, so you were glad to kick off your shoes and slump into your chair. You turned on your computer and smiled seeing that tartaglia69 (aka, childe) was online. He knew you were usually home by now and sent you a message. “Hey baby girl” a grin on your face grew when you saw this. You replied, “Hi daddy.” and he immediately responded. “How’s daddy’s little kitten doing today *winks*” “teehee good now that you’re here *nuzzles u*” you replied. You genuinely appreciated how thoughtful he was. Some may find it a bit odd, but you liked that he remembered to text you as soon as you got home, and he never failed to ask how you were. “Kitten get on the discord call” he commanded. But you felt really tired tonight, honestly you just wanted to heat up some instant ramen and go to bed. “Sorry babe, i think i’m just gonna heat up dinner and go 2 bed” you replied. After a few minutes, he finally responded. “Wow disobeying daddy? What a bad kitten. Someone is gonna get their discord nitro taken away.” You loved childe, but sometimes he was a little needy. But, you couldn’t risk your discord nitro! I mean, it meant so much to you. You’ve always struggled with self esteem, but this nitro really gave you something to be proud of. This nitro… it was everything. It was your special gift from daddy. You rushed to reply. “Daddy no! *pouts*” after a minute, Childe had replied back. “Get on the discord kitten, now *shakes angrily*” you join the call with him and have ensured the safety of your discord nitro. You two talk while you heat up your ramen. “How was your day babes?” you asked him. “It was alright, boring without you though. I had to ban a lot of people in the warrior cats roleplay server. It’s so hard being a full time mod sometimes… y’know?” You understood. People could be quite taxing and difficult to deal with, especially when that’s all you did all day. “Im so sorry daddy.” you said, half dozing off. “Its okay kitten. You’re cute when you’re all tired like that. You should get some rest though.” It took you a minute to process what he was saying, as you were half asleep, nested in your bed hugging your Childe body pillow. “Mmmm, yeah got it.” The last bit of your sentence trailing off. “Goodnight girlie.” He gave his phone a loud kiss before he hung up, you passing out before you got the chance to even turn your phone off or plug it in. 

In the morning, you sat down with a mug of coffee, opening up discord on your computer. Your chair had really nice cushioning, so it was relaxing to sit in it in the morning. The morning sun lit your room, not too brightly though and the smell of coffee completed the mood. You see a message from tartaglia69 pop up. “y/n! *tackle hugs and pats lap* come sit on daddy’s lap” you chuckle at seeing this, you love your discord daddy so much. “Daddyyy *hops on cutely* owo” you happily replied. Hmm? What’s this? You just noticed you had another month of nitro! “Ur such a good girl y/n, daddy thought i should give u a gift uwu *pats ur small head*” he sends another message, “girlie thats just the first of it, u should have a new package just 4 u <3” very excitedly, you reply to him “omg omg omg childe daddy thank u so much ur the best everrrrr <33333” you push back your chair a bit so you can get up and run for the door like a little kid, excited for your package. But when you rushed to your mailbox, it was just an envelope. A little confused, you went back inside and sat down. The smell of parchment was refreshing, the envelope was colored a light orange. Opening it, you couldn’t believe what you saw. It was… a membership to an exclusive fitness program for your buttocks?! Even worse, there was a letter attached addressed to… Zhongli? Who is this? This wasn’t for you, or was this some messed up prank Childe was playing on you? You text him, with an urgency. “Who is Zhongli” you sent. You see him typing, but after a few minutes, the icon goes away. A few minutes pass and he finally replies. “Haha kitten what do you mean?” feeling a bit pissed, you begin to type furiously. “Is this some kind of fucking joke? I thought i was your special kitten, who the fuck is Zhongli and why are you so interested in his ass” after a few minutes of silence again, you finally get a reply. “Girlie im so sorry… i promise he isnt as special as u, ur my #1” you begin to feel tears swelling down your face. Your stomach twists and you feel a bit sweaty. “NO *kills u*” you sent on pure impulse, and that was the tragic end of your discord nitro.

biography

francine lesser, sister to felix and finn lesser, had always been the apple of father’s eye. which is likely why after babe and henry divorced, she was the child who remained with her father. she’d only been ten at the time, it wasn’t as if anybody was asking for her input. the only reason for it? the clear fact that frannie was a gifted child, especially in math and science. at a young age, her father had taken her to different universities, testing how far her intellectual abilities could go. the fact that she was unexplainably bright was the reason she was often accepted with open arms by the ford family, despite not having their last name.

she had always been close with her siblings, as close as she really could be considering how much she was always away, but she certainly wasn’t as exposed to her mother’s drug problems like finn and felix were. after the couple divorced, henry had practically forced frannie to live with him, only allowing her to visit her siblings and mother on occasion. it was just one of the things that she had begun to resent her father for, because of how much her family meant to her. she eventually began private schooling, transferring to felix’s same boarding school when she entered high school.

she wasn’t anyone special in high school, mostly keeping to a small group of friends. she cared about school a great deal, usually spent most of her time in the books. though there were a few boys, not that her father would ever find out about that.

henry was controlling of frannie’s life. her schooling, including which university she would attend, who she was friends with, what society she would join, what career she would have. her father’s plan was for frannie to become an engineer, eventually joining his family’s company. the only problem was, this wasn’t her dream. she wanted to become a doctor, a surgeon. to help people. not design cars. she practically had to beg her father to let her major in chemical engineering, and not mechanical engineering like he wanted. there wasn’t even a word to be said about joining calloway, even if frannie preferred hastings. she was the responsible, dependable daughter. she couldn’t tell her father that his plan for her entire life had too many faults in it.

it wasn’t until she was exposed to the freedoms that come with being in college that she learned there was another way. while she couldn’t exactly tell her father she had dreams of medical school, nor could she expect him to foot the bill for it, there were other means of having an income. so yes, she became a part-time accountant.

keeping an onlyfans on the low wasn’t easy, but she managed it. she hadn’t told her parents, her siblings, or even her closest friends. but it was the only way she was going to be able to escape her father’s timeline and become who she really wanted to be. her name? dr. a. she thought it was fitting.

headcanons

super sweet!! just like, wants to help everyone out.

comes off as kind of innocent, but on the inside she isn’t the goody-two shoes everyone thinks she is

really, really good at math. it’s probably her best subject. she learnt all of calculus around age 11? she’s just super amazing at it

pretty much was in every gifted program as a kid but didn’t get the complex and procrastination skills that came with it

a little superstitious? like wears the same scrunchie on her left wrist every time she takes an exam and will only chew spearmint gum when she’s studying because she thinks it stimulates her brain more

kind of weird and definitely a nerd but like? a cute nerd so she gets a pass

wanted connections

secret love story: omg can someone give frannie a bad boy to have a MAJOR crush on but she either cant say anything about it or they have to keep their relationship a secret because she’s highkey scared of her dad and if he finds out he’d make her break up with him and she doesn’t want to

best friends: frannie is like the ultimate mom friend … even when she’s drunk she’s like babe u gotta drink some water do you want me to hold ur hair back? she’s very kind and sweet and nurturing (which probably would’ve come in handy if she ever lived with her mom :/)

anything baby!! flings, hookups, enemies, people she tutors, friends
