hi its tumblr user aroaceleovaldez (sideblog so cant send an ask from it) just wanted to say. love the tags you left on my post. thank you for the statistics about adhd/dyslexia mentions in HoO because i was also curious about that and complain about it frequently and. holy fuck! holy fuck. i am enthusiastically shaking your hand while also staring at HoO in horror. I've been meaning to go comb through TOA with a similar goal cause i know the lack of disability in that is Even Worse but seeing the actual stats from HoO now makes me afraid. also 100% agree about the rest of the tags. anyways always lovely to see your commentary in my notifs thank u for your excellent takes as per usual. i am gonna go stare at a wall for a bit or something now while i think about those stats.

hi! thank you!!!

the statistics for hoo shocked me to my core honestly i'll have to clean up the post (edit: here) (there's a lot of me going WTF which is why it's still in my drafts lol) bc i have a lot to say abt it.

i was so flabbergasted by the dyslexia specifically that i legitimately control f'ed "read" and "write" to see if there were any hidden (but still obvious) references to dyslexia in the series and. nope! the only bright spot there was jason needing glasses.

godspeed if u ever go thru toa. i remember i did a quick sweep thru (just searching "adhd" and "dyslexia") when compiling my post for hoo and um. well, let's just say it did not hit the double digits.

Me and my boyfriend have known each other since we were kids, and now we work at the summer camp where we met. We’re only a year apart in age but since covid fucked with the amount of people who came back, he’s a supervisor/near the very top of the command chain, and I’m near the bottom. The only reason I’m not at the very bottom is because this is my second summer on staff.

We’ve been dating since february and interested in each other for even longer, so there were 0 power dynamics involved since we were both low in the chain of command last summer. Not to mention the fact that our roles have nothing to do with each other. However we decided to keep our relationship a secret to keep everyone, especially our bosses, out of our business because my bf’s a pretty private person.

I’m the opposite; I love to tell everyone everything, and I’m a terrible liar. Today he found out that if senior supervisors are found out to be involved in relations with people below their stations, they are to be fired. Like flat out buh-bye. We’ve both spent a decade at this camp and dreamed of working there our whole childhood, so I would be devastated to be the reason he was fired.

Anyways just wanted to share because it’s fucking insane and I can’t tell any of my camp friends about it, obviously, because everyone there is a blabber mouth (me included, no judgement here. Just sadness).

ANYWAYS I LOVE MY BF GOODBYE GOOD NIGHT

Me: I’m sorry I made jokes like that, but I struggle with these issues amd it’s the only way I know how to cope with them and I don’t know any alternative that won’t be more harmful than this-

The counselor, deadass: But it’s not funny. These are real problems people struggles with and you’re making jokes about it. It doesn’t matter if it’s how you cope, it’s unacceptable.

Me: Bitch what.

I say this in the least-pretentious, most mentally ill way possible, but it seems I have read Crime and Punishment so many times that I can recite parts of it from memory purely by accident and recall differences between the Macduff and Garnett translations on the spot

I must have read it about 900 times across the ages of 16 and 17 so I guess it makes sense that my brain built it into the walls but Jesus Christ

I love living in Galar I swear postwick is my home it's where I grew up it's my favourite place but why the FUCK are the wooloo on the train tracks again

I love these cute motherfuckers but I don't have the time to walk through the wild area I need to get home from motostoke before next week thanks

There's this kid sitting on the table ajacent to mine saying "just call a flying taxi" do I look like I have the money for a flying taxi??? League trainers may get the service for free but I'm a regular ass citizen, I have to pay for services.

I envy regions where flying your Pokémon is legal I really do, if it weren't for air traffic violations I'd be doing great Chomp could have me there in minutes

Doesn't help that both Ralter and Flambé insisted on being out of their balls and are now bickering with one another. Plus it's fucking freezing.

I have 1 day left of the partial hospitalization program and I've learned a lot of skills and feel optimistic about managing my anxiety and depression.

I have also learned that I have nowhere near enough skills to cope with being part of a drum circle.

yesterday there was an Incident between satan incarnate and a very poster-child-for-adhd little girl in which we were all walking down the hallway to leave and i hear a commotion and i turn around and satan incarnate is speed-walking down the hallway with an "oh shit" look on his face and she's charging after him with murder in her eyes, so i yell at her because she is clearly chasing with intent to harm, and then a para sends them back to walk, and i think it's all good, and then they get down to the lockers and

she charges him again so i step between them and send her to her locker and i turn around and i say, "what did you do."

"...nothing"

"[satan incarnate]."

"nothing."

"was it actually nothing or do you think it was nothing."

[very small voice, looking at the ground] "...i thought i hit her bottle."

so i send him off and go over to her and she's crying and i talk to her about why i yelled at her and how she should tell someone instead of trying to hit him back and she leaves and i felt kind of bad about yelling at her so the next morning i pull her out before class starts and i do apologize and is hit you not, the response:

"you yelled at me yesterday???"

If I had a dime for every time I've read a disappointed person online say "the destination wasn't like instagram," I'd have a lot more money to travel to places you've never even seen on social media

It’s very fun building a HEAVILY cybernetic and genetically engineered civilization because unironically data and lore are sooooo normal and well liked there. They’re Literally Just People. Everyone is excited to meet androids who aren’t just “dead orgs brain mapped to a robot body” because they haven’t had a chance to successfully make an android like those two themselves. There have been attempts over the last millennia but there were always complications and when they wanted to mass produce for war it was cheaper and easier to just use meat brains and slap tech on it.

So data and lore are Very Special Little Guys to them. Excited to have them visit. Eager to include them in their society. They’re like a branch of the family you just found out you had in another country. 100% have admirers and fan clubs that think they’re Super Dreamy.

Everyone on the enterprise including data is like “he’s an android, he doesn’t feel emotion”. Riker out here like “why are you mooning over this man he literally cannot feel a thing back for you????” And rally point is just like “you monkeys are so primitive you have no idea what you’re saying that’s the HOTTEST MAN ALIVE”. Data has an oligarch of a quasi-empire on her knees down bad over him just by being his normal ass self it’s hilarious.
