suddenly had the urge to to write a little smthhhh while listening to my 2016 music š.
masterlist
our fluffydutch/german!farmer taking his precious earthyblack!reader along to the farmers market with him! and reader getting in a bittttt of trouble š«¢ (nsfw next part š¤)
come on!!
Oh my ... there goes Mr teddy bear.. having to search for you again as you've wandered off to search for the animal section here. at this point teddy is really considering getting us one of those little backpacks with the leash on it (š).
oh poor man can't even catch a break as he shopped. oh, but as he stress bought, you popped right back up next to him with something.. exotic?!
"bubba look! i bought us a ferret!" you giggled happily, showing off the long furry animal
as you thought your husband would be happy with what you had spent your money on, he couldn't even crack you a smile. sighing as he rubbed his forehead he tried to have remorse for what he now considered his bit-bimboed wife.
"Hun.." he sighed "we don't .. need anymore animals.. " he continued, sighing as he let you down
"but.. bitte?" you politely begged, tugging at he sleeve.
he knew you absolutely didn't need any more animals on your already packed farm but oh.. your eyes.. your small begs.. how could your man just say no to you!?
"you really stress me, schatz" he sighs once more, his words being your indication for a yes.
you giggle happily and peck his cheek, hugging his side as he continued shopping. pointing out a few things he missed on the list.
"i don't need your fuckin' help, puppe" he chuckles, placing the missing items in his basket. you giggle once more, placing another warm kiss on his face.
ah .. there you go again.. not too far this time though! you saw a snack stand not too far away and slipped right from his side.
"hm.." you examined the vast variety of self serve snacks and candies in front of you.
"hi sweetheart! well aren't you a cute one? here, this one is on me, get what ever you'd like, doll!" a tall man approaches from behind the stand, handing you a medium sized plastic bag. you smile sweetly at his kind compliments then brightly at his kind gesture of paying for whatever you grabbed.
as you began scooping and using the little tonsil to pick your candies the (guessing) owner began small talk. and oh, you just wanting to be oh so friendly, you complied and replied.
"so.. see some stuff you like?" he chuckles, sucking on a toothpick he had sticking out of his mouth
"mhm!" you giggle, adding more things
"gon' on and fill it up sweetheart" he encouraged, waving his hand out to let you know it was okay
you nod, looking around at the other options, picking up a few pieces of cotton candy and some gummy eggs.
"do you have any popcorn or chips? I thought I saw some when i came over here" you give a warm smile, as you picked and put some sour belts into your bag.
"oh yeah, yeah hold on.." he turns around and bends over a bit to pull out a popcorn machine. "I'll make some popcorn for you doll.. only for one thing.." he said, plugging in the machine.
"hm? I'll do it!" you giggled, stopping to look up.
"I just want oneeee.. little kiss right here" he pat the middle of his cheek with the bed of his index finger.
"oh umm.. hold on, I'll go see if my husband will let me!" i place the bag down on his stand, turning around quickly to go grab Teddy.
"wait, you have a husband?" he asks rather quickly
"yes! just please, stay right there!" you happily walk over to teddy
"bubba! can I give that man over there a kiss for some popcorn" you point to the man. "he said he'd give me free candy too!" you giggle happily, looking up at him as you hugged him
"a.. kiss.. for popcorn and.. candy" teddy sighed "the woman you are princess.." he huffs, paying for the groceries before walking you two over to the man's pop up shop.
Dictionary;
bitte(german): please
schatz(german): darling
puppe(german): doll

what is spatort?
Hi anon!
lmao how do I explain š
So there is this German crime TV show called Tatort (engl. crime scene) which is on TV every Sunday night. There are different casts for different cities in Germany, like Tatort Berlin for example. Every 90min episode starts with a crime/ murder which is solved by the end.
Now this show is usually very much not watched by younger people and is what you could call a boomer show ig. It is produced by German public broadcasting and thus doesnāt have the biggest budget and is not that well-produced lol.
Anyway, Spatort is the fan term for Tatort Saarbrücken - a Tatort that only has one episode per year and got a new cast a few years ago with four pretty young detectives. The past friendship between the two male leads was a very important part of the first episode and people started reading more into it and shipping them. By now people also ship the two female leads which is very funny bc Tatort and German public broadcasting are known for very heteronormative and not diverse television and some of the boomers that watch it would probs get a heart attack if they knew what people online think about Spatort haha.
So basically, now there is a huge fandom online for a boomer TV show and all we do is make queer headcanons about everything we see haha. The fandom is mainly active on Tumblr and every year when the new episode comes out it starts trending on here :)
(Also at some point the actors really leaned into the whole gay narrative and people had a lot of hope for a queer couple on a boomer TV show!! There were bloopers from the show where the male leads kissed and stuff, but ultimately nothing explicitly gay ever happened in the show. Itās also important to know that this is the most extreme slow burn ever since there is only one episode per year which is only 90 minutes long and most of it is just about solving a crime and not about character developmentā¦)
Sorry, this is very long oops.
#itās iconic#there is a new episode tonight#and although I know that I will probably be let down by the actual episode#Iām still totally hyped for our annual tumblrina holiday#I hope this makes sense lol#there is definitely better explanations out there#lots of people are much more involved in the fandom than i am#I just come here once a year and have fun <33#ask#tatort saarbrücken

Sebastian Vettel x RBDesignEngineer! Reader.
Set in 2013 during the GP, Jennifer is fresh out of uni and has made a name for herself within the F1 world. She joins Redbull-Renault as one of their engineer designers and easily fits into the team, forming friendships easily. Most of all, she captures the attention of three time world champion, Sebastian Vettel. Part 1- just an introduction to the OC and situation, please excuse my inaccuracies about the 2013 GP and design engineering im not a pro and was like 11 back then šš hereās the LINK to part 2.
Australia, March 2013ā¦
āAnd here⦠right through here is⦠our youngest, and my personal favourite design engineer. This is where all the magic happens.ā The sound of Sebastianās German accent caused my lips to lift as I took my head set off, spinning around in my chair. Sebastian was walking alongside a camera man, touring around the garages. It was pre practice day, only two more days and the 2013 GP would begin. Although Iād been hired for Red Bull back in October of last year, it had taken 5 months to get to this point of merciless training and shadowing to ensure I was good at what I was doing. The Red Bull driver made his way over, resting on the back of my large chair with an amused smile. āHi.ā I nervously giggled, pushing my hair behind my ear as my headset fell around my neck. āThis is Jennifer, do you want to tell them what youāre doing today, Jennifer?ā The use of my full, formal name was sending me slightly giggly as I gazed up to the blonde man. Maybe it was just him making me feel that wayā¦
āUm⦠so, to put it in simple terms so itās not so boring, weāre just checking all the components of the RB9ās- what Sebastian and Mark will be driving- to make sure we donāt need to make any last minute changes.ā āAnd whatās your name again?ā The camera man asked. āJen, I never go by Jennifer.ā I laughed, glancing back up to Sebastian again. Whenever our eyes met I found myself struggling to keep composure on camera. āTell then a bit about yourself.ā He then nudged me on, grinning down. He could tell I was getting flustered, but continued purposefully. āNobody wants to know about me!ā I laughed, attempting to spin my chair back around in embarrassment. Hiding behind my computer for the first two weeks was my safe haven, thatās what Iād reverted back to. āThey do!! Tell us, how did you get into your position?!ā Seb spun the chair back, sliding a hand down onto my very ticklish shoulder, squeezing as both my shoulders jumped up with a giggle.
āSorry.ā Seb breathlessly laughed. āUm- well I started here in October, I just finished my masters last year at Manchester in Motorsport Engineering- um⦠Im 22- I donāt really have anything else very interesting to say! Uh- I suppose I had- just had experience from working part time with my brother whoās an engineer when I was like⦠15.ā I explained.
āClever girl.ā Seb responded as I automatically gulped in response, looking up to him and awkwardly glimpsing back to the camera. I didnāt know how to act with that in my face. āAnd whatās this?ā The camera zoomed closer in on my second screen, it was just information about F1ās plan to go electric next year and use Hybrid engines, but it contained private information. My hand flew up blocking the screen dramatically, āoh! Sorry, thatās a secret!ā Seb burst out laughing. āOh no!ā I laughed, ādonāt worry Iāll cut that.ā Luckily the camera man turned away as I sunk back into my chair. I really hoped I didnāt leak some super, confidential information about Red Bull or Iād be facing the sack a mere half year into employment.
Sebastian flashed me another smile and squeeze on the shoulder before following the camera man and showing him around some more. When they left I let out an internal sigh. Iād known Seb for the same amount as everybody else here, but I just felt this immediate warmth to him. Once the intimidation had worn off (even now I still felt it) I could tell there was an instant attraction. At points it felt mutual, Seb would openly flirt with me, tease me, I know he was a charmer, but I couldnāt tell if I was being delusional or not. He was cuddly, funny, he always looked so deeply into my eyes whenever I explained something to him. I wasnāt sure how Iād deal with the feelings that would keep me on edge for a full season. The worst thing about it??? I had a boyfriend.

Sorry if you have a lot of asks already, but Iām so curious- what are some personal headcanons you have for Andersonās backstory? I think thatād be really interesting to hear about!!
Ohh thanks for the Ask!! That's a topic I could rant about forever. š But I'm not good at putting my thoughts into words, beware.
(ššI got like 20 requests and want to write them SO badly, but there's so little time...)
My backstory for him changes each time I write for him honestly, but I love @tex-treasure-chamber 's take on it:
We already know Iscariot uses children in their orphanages as warriors for their cause - but Anderson, due to being inherently capable to begin with, was part of a special program to create some kind of "super soldier".
I think no one really knows where he comes from, he was just found in front of the doorstep of a Scottish orphanage at some point.
He's already been gradually fucked up during his formative years (whether by his birth family or the orphanage workers I leave open to interpretation), and the training he had to endure just gave him the rest tbh. It only further fed his fanatic delusions and strenghtened his bloodlust and erratic temper.
Becoming Iscariot's strongest involves a lot of mental conditioning, slowly striping away his humanity that stands in the way of becoming an unfeeling and unquestioning tool of god. They also needed him to build up a high pain tolerance, so they tortured him in barbaric ways, claiming the suffering brings him closer to Jesus Christ.
In the end they didn't manage to break his mind completely, we see it in his way of defying superiors and especially how fond he's of the orphans in his care - but they certainly succeeded turning him into a highly efficient and dangerous fanatic.
It's those two completely different worlds (caregiver vs. hunter) inside of him that's tearing him apart. He failed to become a weapon completely but he can also never be fully human again, at his core he's a twisted individual unable to find peace with his existence.
Which is why I hate love the scene where he (indirectly) kills Maxwell - in which he still saw a child he once raised - because that's the moment those two worlds clash. And not shortly after he decides to cast aside those burdening remains of his humanity use the nail of helena to become a true monster of god.
In the German translation he says "I would've prefered being born as a storm, a threat, or an explosive. I'd rather been born a fierce thunderstorm...without consideration, without remorse, without tears."
Anderson isn't supposed to feel, to care, let alone love - and yet he does...so much it's tearing him apart.

Sorry about my last request violating your rules š Hopefully this one makes up for it!
May I please request headcanons for Joey and Seto falling in love with a female cop after seeing her in action?
Summary: Joey and seto (separately but the same introduction happens) falling in love with cop!reader
Warnings: mention of Marik and calling the cops
Psst, lend me an ear: don't worry about that haha it's easy to miss stuf especially cuz I wrote sm anyway I had a lot of fun making this and I hope u also have as much fun reading it!! I did get a bit uncreative with this because of some stuff as of recent though (T-T)
Domestic violence call, arresting up a drunk person and locking them up
Your day was pretty normal until you got signed to a case where most of the station was going
Apparently, there was a guy who was holding a girl hostage at knife point to... Challenge a dueler to a rematch?
Your head turns to the side, your co-worker driving the car. He looks back at you, laughing to himself st the absurdity of the situation
It wasn't everyday you came across such an absurd situation (maybe yugi does but wtv) the car suddenly stops. Gripping the front of the car, you lessen your blow, you look at your coworker before you two got out of the car
A few other police officers were stationed around to look for the girl, soon you and your team find the deck they were playing at
The duel conveniently ends just as you all walk up to the deck, your coworkers whisper as some TO's even contribute. The guy holding the girl hostage had this crazy look on his face, his hair was spiky and white
The girl seemed taller than the guy, having brown short hair in a Bob like cut. The guy, who everyone was screaming/calling him marik, was telling the shorter boy to hand over a.. Puzzle. How absurd can this get? It's just a puzzle, no need to crash out
Your right hand reaches for the gun, your hand ghosting it as you slowly walk closer to him
The guy walks back a bit with the girl still in a chokehold
"One step further and I'll cut her vocal cords out!" He threatened, the bystanders, concluding of a Kaiba brother, a blonde haired guy, another tall guy with brown hair and a shit haircut (Tristan you're cool and all but that cut is horrendous)
Your co workers held up their gun, ready for anything that may happen
"You'd get arrested anyway, you've got up to 4 bystanders, a whole team of cops, but you only have one knife and a scrawny build that couldn't hurt a fly"
He thinks for a moment, looking shocked at your little jab
The girl looked at you with a mix of fear and a pleading face not to anger him, some bystanders looked in awe of you and some more surprised
"Even if you do kill her, you're cornered. You could jump into the ocean behind you but you would have to come back sooner or later where we will arrest you" he looks around in anger, the annoying woman was right, the amount of cops and bystanders at the scene were too many to handle
Marik let's the girl go, she almost falls to her knees in relief and shock. You quickly grab the girl and bring her to the car, needing to question her. Tea, as everyone called her, was swarmed by her friends who ask her many "are you okay?" And "did he hurt you?" You look back at marik getting arrested.
You look in a pocket and face the group, handing them each a card with your number and name on it, you could tell the girl was shaken and would be scared alone, or maybe another conflict happens because of this game. It was better to be safe then sorry
They all grab the card, yugi and tea hug you, thanking you a bunch for what you did
Ever since that day you got called a few times asking to hang out and talk, but there was one in particular who tried something else
Joey Wheeler
We all know how stupid Joey can be, I was used to the German dub and heard there were many differences in dubs so idk if it's different somewhere else
Joey first met up with you at a cafe to talk in private, he introduced himself and you two hit it off right away
His charming and funny personality felt so refreshing especially after chaos at work
About work, he's actually pretty invested and interested in what you do for work
He's always there to comfort you if you lose someone or weren't able to help a person
I fell like you two would be a he fell first but you fell harder moment yk?
It was hard not to with how kind he can be! So, with recommendation from Tristan
He takes you out to an ice cream place and confessed his love to you
Seto
Your police department assigned you to help be a bodyguard to seto ever since the incident, for his request
You got to meet his brother and were able to become closer with him, much to setos dismay
Even mokuba becomes aware of his brothers feelings, he was hiding it so bad. The short glances, money for you, calling you over more frequently etc. It was so painfully obvious
Mokuba tries his best to push you two together, to no avail though. Seto is a cold man so he doesn't try to accept his feelings or even acknowledge them at all
If seto does accept them(which would definitely take a while) he knows he won't be able to confess straight to you, so he leaves a letter in your bag with a date and time to meet him
He'd definitely take you out to a dinner and only answer any questions about the letter after the date
He'll also definitely have a rose ready for you to take

omg can you imagine the confusion when you explain Werner is your partner?
like you have a friend over at your house and they ask you āyou said you have a boyfriend, right? is he home? howād you guys meet?ā and youāre like āoh you know heād been living in my walls since forever and Iāve always heard him scuttle around but I didnāt actually meet him until two years ago. he should be in his workshop right now!ā and then you point to a mouse hole jdkdkfoikfjd š
A/N: This idea sat in my brain for days and I just had to write a little ficlet for it-
ā āāā ⢠āāā ā®
"I... see," your friend says, offering a shaky smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.
You invited her over to your small hovel for a cup of coffee and some desserts. It's been ages since you last spoke to her, as she's moved off the isles to pursue her dream job. And while she's sweeter than peaches normally, a part of you feared she'd react this way.
Still, she remains polite and refrains from making any comment. She takes a cautious sip from her mug, all the while shifting her gaze from you to the mouse hole in the wall.
"H-how... How long have the two of you been dating now, dear? What was his name again?" she asks, now fixedly staring at the hole in the wall.
"Oh!" you grin. "We've just started dating not too long ago actually! Maybe around two months now? It just sort of happened, ya know? It took some getting used to, but Werner's a total sweetheart once he warms up to you!"
"Werner? Is he German?" she looks back to you, brow raised.
"Technically, yes! Buuut," you lean towards her, voice taking on a conspiratorial whisper. "I'm pretty sure he hams up the accent. I've heard him drop it a couple of times. It's actually funny-"
"Mein Liebling," a small voice interrupts.
Both you and your friend whip your heads towards the wall-- to Werner's little mouse hole. You're both met with the sight of a disgruntled Werner, overalls marred with oil stains and helmet askew. His gaze drifts over to your guest, and he grows sheepish.
"Ah, Guten Tag," he awkwardly waves.
He's completely forgotten that you were inviting someone into the house, and Werner suddenly feels all too aware of his disheveled appearance. The rat shakes his head, turning back to you as he fights to ignore the stranger's stare burning into his side.
"Have you seen the can opener? I thought I had left it at my station the other night-"
"Oh, yes! Sorry, I had to borrow it for a minute! Let me just..."
You rise from your chair, easily reaching the kitchen in a few strides to grab the said tool from the dish rack. Without a second thought, you made your to your boyfriend's little hidey-hole and carefully placed it in his outstretched hands.
"Danke schƶn," he nods to you before skittering back inside, the sounds of muffled metal scrapes shortly following in his wake.
All you can do is quietly smile and mentally coo at how small he is before you settle back into place at the table. Blissfully unaware of your friend's incredulous stare you grab your coffee cup and look back to her, smile still in place.
"Sorry about that! He's usually tinkering away at all hours of the day! So, uh, he can be a little socially...clumsy, so to speak."
"Uh.. huh," your friend nods, eyes distant as she not-at-all subtly looks over your shoulder. "...You sure know how to pick them, eh?"
"Oh, it could be worse. He tried to shoot me the first time we met, but things are better now-"
"I beg your pardon?!"

First of:
In some German f1 news outlet george is called the āoracleā bcs he always gets stuff like that right š
Second: where did Georgeās pace in the middle go⦠like the end was great again but the middle was maybe to conservative⦠idk tbh
And also what was that strategy⦠two laps later and george wouldnāt have been stuck in traffic and could have passed Charles (sorry Charles but I love george more š)
But the fact that we are a a bit disappointed over a p5 (the streak lives on btw) is very telling about what could have been this weekend⦠and all because of one mistake in quali š and also the fact that george said the start could have been better tells us he did everything he could at that point š
George's pace in the middle was kinda underwhelming, probably he was saving a bit since he got pitted too early and maybe they feared that he would lose in the end. In the end, he had nothing to lose anymore, so I think he pushed, also due to Kimi having a very favourable strategy and thus getting closer.
Strategy was... simply not there. Totally useless pitting him into the traffic when he was doing decent things and he did not gain anything on Charles. Would have been a massive massive disaster if a safety car came out or if the rain came. Luckily nothing, so damage limitation.
You are right tho, that's our best result in a race where we usually suck (+ we bagged some points) so we can live with it and move to, I hope, better things. The damage was done yesterday with the cold tyres, probably another 3rd place was possible, 4th definitely.
Very boring race, I woke up for no reason. Solid job from Max that managed to Maximise and bank on whatever business is going on in the house of papaya

Omg I wasn't expecting at all their hobbies?? Mostly Jamie, I love that he reads manhwa! And Deja being a gamer girlie...š That's really unexpected. Now then I got even more questions!! These are more basic I guess?
Do any of them have a second language or is English not the first one? With Jamie being an exchange student and Deja speaking to herself another language or so in the demo I got curious about their backgrounds
Sorry not sorry but the haikyuu reference during the volleyball game got me dead š I need to know about the besties hobbies too! Cameron's such a cool character fr
Okay maybe this is kind of spoilerish but... Have any of them had any serious relationship before? The vibes of the demo and it happening on college gives the vibes of first love kinda. Just out there trying to guess! I really am a fan of the trope
Tysm for answering! You just gave me such a detailed answer!! I didn't expect it š„° It really shows how much you care about little details when writing hehe
I should start on a master list of facts for everyone to quick nav on tumblr haha but I love your enthusiasm for the cast! Let's get cracking on Q2!
Languages/Background
I was also waiting for this kind of question because I thought about it-- a lot, way too much, in fact lmao. I won't go too in depth about each of their backgrounds, especially since some of it is heavily intertwined with their stories, but I'm happy to indulge the basics!
So down the entire cast, we got:
Percy - Japanese (1st Gen); he's fluent in Japanese and it is his first language but he definitely uses English the most nowadays. He only ever speaks his native tongue when he's at home. He also knows a bit of Hawaiian Pidgin. It's what he picked up from Elio when they came to know each other in high school.
Elio - Hawaiian (Dad)/Thai (Mom); English is his first language but his family makes sure to teach him Hawaiian, Hawaiian Pidgin, and Thai. He's conversational with the first two, especially since that's how his grandparents on his dad's side would choose to communicate with. However, since he doesn't get to visit his relatives in Thailand often, Thai is definitely the less practiced of the bunch. At this point, he can somewhat hold a conversation but it's more like-- he understands the language better than he can speak it.
Jamie - Swedish; Swedish is his first language but he is the biggest polyglot on the team, and I mean big. He's fluent in English and most, if not all, European languages (German, French, Italian- you name it, he can probably speak it). Korean is something he recently picked up, though- just so he won't have to wait for translations for the manhwas he likes lol. Learning languages is easy to him and if he's motivated enough he could be conversational in a couple of months.
Deja - Haitian; English is her first language but she's conversational in Haitian Creole. She only speaks it if she's with family, especially her oldest and more distant relatives, or when exasperated. Deja isn't really in the business of flexing her second tongue since it's not something people immediately close to her use a lot.
Cameron - Nicaraguan (2nd Gen); English is also their first language but they dip into Spanish with their family, especially their grandparents. In the KF world, I believe you wouldn't catch this unless you're fluent in Spanish, but Cameron would speak with Nicaraguan phonology so some of their pronunciations might be weighted with 's' sounds.
Reynah - Filipina (1st Gen); English is her second language with Tagalog as her first. However, after being in the states for so long she's not as fluent in it. It's the same case as Elio and most children who migrate at a young age- Reynah understands better than she can speak. That being said, her accent surprisingly lingers. You hear it when she's angry or speaking fast, and you hear it at the end of her sentences or at a break- that short 'ah' sound Filipinos speak with.
And that's all of them! Though it's probably too redundant for me to note, everyone doesn't have an accent except for Reynah and Jamie. Jamie keeps his Swedish accent even though he's fluent because it's too much effort to use an American accent lol
Hobbies (Deja and Cam)
Aha yeah, gotta sneak in anime references when I can and I'm glad you like Cameron too! They're very endearing to me ^^ But okay bestie hobbies! Def gotta know this since MC's best friends with them. So to start--
Deja
Deja's got a handful of hobbies. Does she have time for all of them? No, but she's got them! And they're mostly to help her unwind. For games, she tends to like the ones that relies on strategies and skill. Platformers are her go-to's as well as party games. She's not competitive in the way Elio is but she'd be damned if anyone took her spot at the top of the leaderboard.
Besides video games, she likes to tend to plants and players can see that their shared apartment is littered with them. If she miraculously got more free time, then she'll pick up a knitting/crocheting project.
However, her favorite thing to do in her pastime are her nails! At the apartment, her and MC would indulge in movie nights/marathons so that she could paint and dry her nails during the duration of the showing. The last thing you'd catch her with is a broken or chipped edge.
Cam
As you peeped, Cameron watches anime! They only watch though- they like the action compared to reading. They've been on the grind for a while so you can consider them a veteran haha. Their favorite genres to watch are Slice of Life's, Sports, Shoujos, and Dramas and Thrillers. I know, I know, that's sort of weird jump from their other favorites lol but they like being swept up into the story line like Percy. So if they start crying about a fictional relationship or jumping on the couch because of a murder mystery- then it's safe to say they're enjoying the show.
Other than that, Cameron really likes art! In fact, it could've very well had been something they majored in! They're that good. But alas, they decided on a pre-law track so painting and drawing remains as a past time.
And of course, who can forget music. They only play one instrument and it's not often, but they love listening to it- especially Kpop. If you look through their car, you might find a photo card or two tucked away somewhere. That, and their albums lying next to their seat. (I'm not supposed to be referencing actual bands but Cameron has slipped into the diamond life iykyk)
Past Relationships
Oh, first love is a good guess! But out of the entire cast, half of them have been in a serious relationship before and that is Percy, Deja, and Reynah. Everyone else either had crushes or went on a couple of dates but never went official with anyone.
I won't go into the specifics for either Percy or Reynah, but since Deja's your roommate and best friend-- conversations about her love life would have cropped up before the start of the game. So at the very least I can say that she's dated a couple of guys during her high school and freshmen college year.
She broke up with all of them pretty quick though haha I wouldn't say she was wasting her time with them- she doesn't date for the sake of it like some might. So every relationship could've been something- but she's got zero tolerance for cheaters or massive fuck ups so they ended up being nothing. C'est la vie

And that's that! Phew, these explanations are getting longer and longer so I'm sorry for the word dump but that was fun! Thank you for asking another question!

I accidentally sausagefinger deleted my 20k DA4 review so you get an abridged version now. No more nuance and elaboration, i can't be arsed to retype all of this.
Tl;dr
- Solid game with many flaws.
- If you already are a DA fan it's worth playing
- If you want to get into the series don't start here unless you really want to for a specific reason
Not entirely spoiler free:
Liked the game overall. Also no game has annoyed me this much in years.
Here's some good stuff:
- Beautiful, gorgeous environments.
- Overall cool and likeable cast with mostly interesting companion quests and fun character interactions.
- High quality german localization and VA (didn't try english)
- Appreciate the inclusion of gender neutral pronouns which is even less a given than it is in english since as of now there is no officially recognized equivalent for they/them in this language
- Loved the little things. Returning voice actors. Punching Solas in the face. Dorian Pavus.
- Great sound design during the Weisshaupt quest. Felt very immersive.
- Rivain exploration Tangled Depths moment. When you look at your destination 5 meters above your head and go HUH?
Stuff I hated that's extremely subjective:
Combat. Least fun combat I've experienced in any game ever. Every battle is a pvp match against 10 longbow bear rangers that spam point blank shot with no cooldown. Spending 98% of the battle dodging isn't fun
- Why is there a parry build in the skill tree when half of the enemies have huge hammers you cant parry (skill issue?)
- Party members being invulnerable pets that do nothing but use 1 out of 3 skills off cooldown is bullshit
Soundtrack. Ok no listen I didn't spend the last two months agonizing over this to give you the abridged version now. [takes a deep breath] Here we go again.
"I'm not angry with you, I'm just very disappointed." [Heavy Silence]
Seriously what the fuck was that. The biggest nothingburger that ever nothinged. Or burgered. Like cool they got Hans Zimmer or whatever but if they only had the budget to pay for 2 songs and 3 chords then maybe... don't?
Half of the game is dead silence interrupted by the same 3 notes. Once in a while you dare hope that a song starts playing only for it to fade out within a few seconds. Even many of the battles (including story battles) are fought in silence. And like. Don't get me wrong here. Silence can be good if utilized effectively. I like a good ambient soundtrack. Inquisition had great ambience (mage quest or winter palace bgm anyone?). Super Metroid has great ambience. Hell my favourite gw2 map has insect chittering for music. But this game. They really went "Go girl give us nothing!" with full conviction.
The little music that is there is largely generically inoffensive but also extremely repetitive. And despite all the repetition it's still forgettable as hell. Dictionary definition of an orchestral slop soundtrack. And also the dictionary definition of disappointment. Good god.
Ok moving on with the abridged review. The following points are things that sort of bugged me and I could imagine that other people feel similarly.
- I mean the main story with those saturday morning cartoon villains speaking in stock villain lines was silly but that's just kinda bioware storywriting so all as expected. We're here for interpersonal relationships and side stories anyway.
- So I said I liked the cast. They're too likable. Too safe. Too sanitized. Has everyone forgotten how to be an asshole?
- It's almost impossible to have companions disagree with your decisions. Where are the contrarians? Who do I throw fists with? Why is everyone licking main character boots? I know we've all* hated on Solas for years but that doesn't mean we can't have dicks in the party anymore? We're not babies?? *not you
- Also why does main character get to do life altering decisions for everyone š Bruh none of your business... In some cases it made sense, but some of these... (Taash...??)
- Taash's questline sucked we all agree on this right
- That extremely unsubtle choice pop up whenever a decision you made had an influence on something. Like bruh ok you don't have to tell me about every little choice branch, where's the surprises man
- Companion quests being a mandatory gameplay element isn't the worst of these things but I did prefer when they were entirely optional so it was your bad when you missed out on relationships etc. Plus the gameplay loop created by this in da4 was very tedious after a while
- I don't like how the main character was kinda predetermined as a sassy jokester no matter which dialogue choices you pick but you get used to it
- The also extremely unsubtle faction meter that practically screams "if you don't fill the meter it will have consequences during the final battle". Again where's the surprises?
In general the game felt too predictable and too sanitized to be the least amount of inconvenient as possible.
And that's all I can think of right now.
Overall I'd say
DA2 < DA4 < DA:O < DA:I

Shannon I donāt know your plan for the rest of the camps and the forced march, but can you imagine Buckyās immense stress and protective instincts with Kennedy when the soldiers start shooting and the camp is in shamblesš
-āļø
SUNSHINE ANON HEYYYY!!!!!! so lovely to see you in my inbox ahhh HI!!!! OMG. i have a few prompts that have come in that have since marinated in my brain and will be focused on a portion of areas of the transition from the camps to the forced march and let's just say i am going to be in the flow of PURE ANGST AND WHUMP!!!!
STOPPPPP OMG (plz insert me sobbing right here right now) knowing what we know about bucky and kennedy's feelings towards one another right now and what they've told one another - and what we can absolutely see is deep love and care for each other as well - i ca only imagine what goes through both their minds the second the signal is given that they'll be going on a march. here's a little something i scribbled down at the thought (it's a little messy, a little wordy too but it was my first thoughts and just....i am in SHAMBLES!!!):
He was grabbing her arm. Even despite the thick leather of the A2 jacket she wore, swaddled around her very being, his grip was as tight, if not the strongest, sheād ever felt it be. And theyād all had lackluster food and water since arriving here.
Kennedy looked up at him, his eyes ablaze with something dark and deep down she could see the fear. Something he had tried to hide and tuck away inside of him. Yet, when she looked up into him, she could see it - it was only growing.
"Stick close to me." Bucky said quietly between themselves as the rush of the airmen around them, consumed them - loud boots slapping against the wooden floor, shouts and yells echoing down the long hallway, bodies slamming into one another as the cold from the outside slowly managed to chill her bones. Kennedy couldn't think past much else except hanging onto Bucky and trying to stay warm. Two of the most important aspects she had found herself drawn to.
At some point in the chaos, Bucky had wrapped his arm around her shoulders and practically attached her to his side - and she was sure it was the only thing grounding in this moment in time. There was no destination it seemed, and there wasn't a clue as to what entirely was going on and how long they'd be marching. All she knew is that the Allies were closing in, and the Germans were trying to stay just out of their reach.
And that meant moving the entire camp and every person in it, burning the place behind them to the ground.
As she walked beside Bucky, who remained firm, steely and as solid as a damn rock beside her, the only thought in her mind as waves of fear and nostalgia and anguished grief seemed to hit her was that she wanted to go home. And what hurt more was that her body had been so many places in a short span of time that she wasn't even sure where home was to her anymore.
"You okay, Kenny?" she heard Bucky calling to her as the shouting continued, dogs barking and snapping in the background, fire smoldering to the dark sky above them.
"Yeah," she managed out, looking up to catch his gaze which knew better it seemed than to trust her words, "fine." Bucky paused for a moment there as people rushed around him and reached up a gloved hand to pull the beanie on her head down a bit more, tucking in a few bits of her scarf alongside that. It was short and to the point, but he pressed a quick kiss to her cheek and then looked at her.
"I'm not letting go of you, alright?" he said, gloved hand snaking down to her own as he pulled it to his chest, "Hold on to me."
#SO IM TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT THIS THOUGHT AND THEM ....#sunshine anon#i am lowkey losing my mind over this#ive had many thoughts of how this entire thing would go down and what each individual perspective of annie bessie kennedy and margie would#but currently rn i am losing it over kennedy and bucky brainrot and how they're handling this#and clearly for once - kennedy feels completely out of her comfort zone and is LETTING. SOMEONE. CARE. FOR. HER.#AND IT IS BUCKY OFC BUT STILL#he is PROVING that he wont leave her out in the cold that he is GOING TO TAKE CARE OF H E R !!!!!! that hes got her that hes with that she#wont be alone!!!#OBSESSED#knowing how much kennedy tries to hold up her guards this is hard for her#bucky knows that#and just I CANTTTTTT#IM SOBBINGGG#ANYWAY#big brained thought sunshine anon this was FANTASTIC#kennedy x bucky#kennedy farley#silver bullets#mota writings

20 Fanfic Author Questions
I tagged myself because I saw this in my For You page and it looked funš So here we go!
1. How many works on AO3?
21 (I finally have TWO pages!!)
2. Total word count on AO3?
143,813
3. Top five fics by kudos?
āSecrets, Lies, and Blessingsā, āIām Not Much of a Talkerā, āWords of Comfortā, āTell Me You Didnātā, and āWhatās in a Name?ā (Look at Don sneaking up there with SwanFireš„¹)
4. What fandoms do you primarily write for?
Once Upon a Time and The Boys in the Boat. But Iād LOVE to write for others like Little House and Gale from Masters of the Akr but alas! The idea farm has run dryš
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes I do! Eventually. Actually I still have comments sitting in my inbox from the author of my favorite Don fic ever: Olympic Angel. I NEED to respond to her but Iām so⦠starstruck that Iām scared to⦠Itās been a year.
6. Angstiest ending?
Probably āSwan Songā. Itās written from Henryās point of view and⦠it doesnāt end well.
7. Fic with the happiest ending?
āSecrets, Lies, and Blessingsā. Canāt get happier than a wedding right?
8. Do you get hate?
Yup. Apparently people hated my OFC I created for Don. Girl, you hate her cause you aināt herš
š»
9. Do you write smut?
Yup. Not as often as normal stuff though. Itās CHALLENGING. For SO many reasons⦠one being that, ya know, Iām an unmarried Christian woman saving herself for her husband. Thank goodness for Reddit, lol!
10. Do you write crossovers?
Not as of right now. Maybe in the future though?
11. Ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. If you ever come across one though please do tell.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Actually yes!! A German OUAT fan loved my story so much, she asked if she could translate it over to Wattpad. I said yeah of course! So that was cool.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
No but Iād love to and always wanted to! Is anyone interested?š
14. All time favorite ship?
You guys canāt tell? Itās Emma Swan and Baelfire/Neal Cassidy (SwanFire) from the show Once Upon a Time. They started the whole writing but and for 6 years they were all j wrote about.
15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Definitely Princess Kidnapped! Iād love to be able to finish it but in order to do thatā¦? I have to delve into a very dark mental space. See? The story consists elements of rape and/or non-consent⦠it would come with loads of trigger warnings and having to read very depressing testimonies from survivors on Reddit so⦠yeah⦠I probably wonāt finish it and itās too bad because Iād love to write Hook getting the medieval punishment/execution he deserves.
16. Writing strengths?
Iām good at researching for accuracy? I also like to think that I do okay at angsty scenes. Some of my readers have told me Iām excellent at staying true to characterizationš¤·š»āāļø
17. Writing weaknesses?
DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAGHS. And comparing my works to others. I know I have to stop the comparison thing but as for descriptive sentences?? I donāt know how to strengthen that! I have too many ābeforesā āaftersā all that crap!
18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?
In the words of Joe Rantz: āNever thought much about it.ā
19. First fandom you wrong for?
Once Upon a Time. But technically, when I was a pre-teen I would write stories about the Little House and Love Comes Softly Characters down in composition books; pre-teen me had no idea I was writing āfanficsā way back thenš I also didnāt know it was a normal fangirl behaviorš
20. Favorite fic youāve ever written?
Definitely āWords of Comfortā and āThe Proposalā. With Words of Comfort, it was angsty and I got to go into Baelfireās and Rumpelstiltskinās relationship, which in my opinion was the best and most realistic parent/child relationship on the show. Plus it was rather well-received too, which is a nice little bonus. āThe Proposal was fun because Iāve never written an engagement fic before (SwanFire didnāt really go about things in that way in my AU) so it was fun using Don to explore it. It was also fun touching on Donās and Gordyās friendship. I think the fandom forgets how close those two were in real life and then when you add that Jack and Joel also hit it off behind the scenes?? No I just could not pass that up! So yeah! Those two are my favorites and Iāll link them for you guys (also, Iām so disappointed that The Proposal got overshadowed by the wedding night chapterš itās not fair!)
No pressure Tags: well of COURSE Iām gonna tag my bestest (shush, Red donāt judge! I know thatās not a word) and most favorite tumblr writer friend: @redbone135 hes such a good writer, yall should go check out his works! More no pressure tags: @fictional-at-heart @heatherfield @strangethings-everywhere @marvelbros-oneshots @fwitolei and anyone else would like to do this, this is me tagging you!

(if you're still doing these!) 3, 8, 34 for the ask meme?
3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?
Oaghh this is actually a tricky question!! But maybe I do know how to answer...
The Cat Returns (Studio Ghibli / Hiroyuki Morita)
It's my #1 comfort movie haha. I used to watch it with my sister when we were little, more so than any other Ghibli film (I did grow up with them and liked a lot of them - but I have to admit: I've never understood the appeal of Totoro specifically, I still think it's overrated hfhfjfj). Apparently it's widely considered to be a less good movie than the others, partly because Miyazaki wasn't that involved in it, but I think it's amazing. Also, I saw Whisper of the Heart (the one it's a spin off of) as an adult and didn't like it at all ajdjfkfk. The music, the worldbuilding/aesthetic, the (sometimes very eccentric) Finnish dub and the inherent whimsicalness of the story are very nostalgic and fun for me, and I've always loved cats, so :D
2. LOTR trilogy
It's cheating haha but putting all three under one heading. I've gone to a cinematic back-to-back marathon event of the extended edition... It took 12 hours and was one of the best moviegoing experiences of my life xD I feel like once you've done that, you're at a point where you can definitely say you're not going to get bored of it. I mean, I've been known to dip to get more snacks during some sequences (particular non-favourite is Shelob - not for any lack of fondness for spiders btw, I just find it a bit tedious as an action scene and it's at a point in the story where I'd rather be Moving On), but overall I really love these films - the story, the world, the characters, the music, the sheer amount of effort and care that went into making them and how it really shows >:]
3. POTO 2004
<333 Favourite musical film hahahahahah. I know this is controversial, but for me personally it's in some aspects even more fulfilling than seeing the show in the theatre. My favourite part/character of the show and book is and has always been the opera house!!!! I looooove theatres and theatre backstage stuff, especially big fancy old opera houses, and the movie is very immersively costumed and staged (set?). I don't watch it often (in full anyway - I rewatch the Carlotta scenes semi-often though), but I feel like if I was strapped to a chair and made to, I would just be vibing.
8. any reoccurring dreams?
I've only had one (1) actually repeated dream in my life, where it played out the same beat-for-beat as if watching the same VHS tape again, first when I was about 5 and again when I was maybe 7 years old - a weird Disney pastiche of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid haha. Repeating themes are more common. My least favourite of those was when my mental health was at its absolute lowest in my life during high school, and for around too months I kept dying in different kinds of highly specific ww2-related circumstances šš (I don't know if I started reading survivor stories too young - around the age of 10 or so...) ANYWAY yeah haha, not many specific reoccurring dreams. I wish I could repeat the one or two times in my life when I've dreamed about flying, it was a lot of fun >:]
34. any pet peeves?
Too many - I feel like half my tumblr posts are about these xD
One big one rn is that many German theatres don't let you book your tickets in just one step. They make you put in all your info and pick a seat and everything, and only then (after a 5-10 minute delay) do they send an email asking to transfer the money to secure your booking. Well, I was meant to go somewhere tomorrow, but turns out I never remembered to send the money in time and have lost my seat :----) It's okay haha it's going to thunder and rain tomorrow anyway, I'll just stay in my hometown and go see something here later lol...

Perfume, fleece & pigment <3
Ask game
I am super sorry for responding to this so late, at first I though tumblr ate the ask cause for some reason itās been doing th at lately but it was in my drafts so here we go! Sorry this is so long but I wanted to share some pics of my dogs! @homicidal-slvt
Perfume- favorite scent?
So I love the smell of coffee but my favorite candle is Better Homes & Garden Warm Leather & Amber. Iām not sure why but I absolutely love the way it smells and every time I go to Walmart I stop to smell it!
Fleece- have any pets?
Iāve talked about this a little before but I have four dogs! (A lot I know lol they drive me crazy but I love them dearly) 3 German Shepherd mixes (1 girl 2 boys) and a beagle chihuahua mix (a boy)
This is Diamond (or Sweet Sweet), sheās the mom of our other two german shepherds and her favorite things are laying out in the sun and crying for attention all the time š


Then this is Titan, yes his name matches how big of a dog he is. Sometimes I call him a ātank of a dogā or a ābehemoth of a dogā but he loves playing and he can talk to you. For example he can tell you heās really hungry, tell you he loves you, that heās thirsty, and he has recently started asking us to not leave when weāre about to leave for work š


Then thereās Chewie (technically my dog but he loves my dad a lot for some reason š heās a ball of energy and likes to bite my arm like itās a chew toy if he gets to excited š oh and his favorite snack are Qtips and loaves of bread š the amount of time Iāve had to dig around in his mouth for a Qtips is ridiculous *sigh*



(he loves to sleep too)
The thereās the small little demon dog Boogie (technically his name is Max but we hardly call him that) and he loves to try and act like heās the biggest dog lol him and Chewie have a love hate relationship cause one minute theyāre laying with each other then the next itās like their arguing over who gets to lay with me š


Oh and he loves to claw the shit out of you š
Pigment- what color is your hair naturally? if you could dye it any color which one would you choose?
So I have naturally brown hair, itās pretty dark but I do have red tones in it when Iām in the sun which I adore! Fun fact about me, Iāve never dyed my hair. Iāve wanted to and at one point I was actually going to get some like bronze or some type of red highlights but this was when I was like 12 so I donāt really remember but I have always loved the idea of doing some sort of dark purple! Most likely not all of my hair but like the lower half of it like a temporary dye or something? Tbh I havenāt put to much thought into it but yeah š«
#I truly love my dogs but they can take so much work#letās just say my next pet is going to be a cat š#anyways#random0lover rambling ā”#random0lover things about me#ā mutuals ā#homicidal-slvt#ask game#perfume#fleece#pigment#dash games#get to know the blogger#get to know me

So... I bought some more books over the last week, and today at work colleague B talked about his vacation and said he spent 500⬠in one day. When he was finished I then said that I had also spent 500⬠on two books yesterday (don't judge me š) and all my colleagues (this was right after we were all together for our weekly meeting) were like uhm... Wow okay, but like old books, right? And I was like "ofc š„°"... Yeah they then asked me for the titles and if there's one thing you need to know about old books is that their titles are like a full page, several sentences. So I read them out to my colleagues, and colleague E, who is of Ukrainian origin, was really interested in the one that's written by one of the Swedish POWs after Poltawa. I offered to lend it to him, but he said that he would have too much trouble with the writing and language (he's been living in Germany for like 30 years at this point, so generally German is no problem for him), so he asked me if I could give him a summary of it after I've read it.... Which I ofc agreed to lol. Anyways I had bright red burning cheeks after talking about my books š
š
š
although everyone there thought it was cool and interesting and my boss later asked me if I know Kingdom Come Deliverance (I literally spent the morning throwing Henry/Hans Fanart into the queue.... Not that I've played part 2, but at least I played quite a lot of part 1) and that there's a new part, and I was this close to saying "oh I've heard of it, because of the gay romance" š
#personal#the other book is a 2 for 1 deal#one is about the Silesian church history and how the Swedes meddled with it#two is the correspondence between the Saxon and Swedish court during the Swedish occupation of Saxony#then I'm also awaiting two more#one is the book about Karl's autopsy from 1917#and the last one is Gustav Adlerfelt's military history of Karl (hopefully) from 1700-1709

Also thank you for the notes, handwriting is an cool thing
Your "K" is intresting, I feel like even when it's written lowercase it still looks uppercase which makes it stick out, very cool
I write in pen too, we weren't allowed to write in pencil either, in fact most german schools require you to use fountain pens from first grade on, you can switch to normal pen later when they get looser with it
I'm not sure about the translation, so here's an added image: https://www.pollypaper.de/cdn/shop/products/A1F44765-A2F3-45AD-84C3-79ADD09B5540_large.jpeg?v=1566282294
I had a shiny metal purple one of these first and then the blue one in the picture when I lost that one and then the not shiny black one when I lost that one too, I found all of them later and then I just had three of them
And to maybe give a little more context about the handwriting ask, I thought about it because one of my current courses in school is physics and I write admittedly shitty cursive, but the cursive uppercase "E" looks like epsilon which is the symbol for the electric field constant
Uppercase "E" is the charge of an electron, these are two things that are probably gonna be used on the same page at some point so my uppercase "E" is the only letter I don't write in cursive at all anymore and that stuck out to me so I thought about if that could happen in other fields
And since you do chemistry I wanted to ask
-Leuchtturm
Woahhh, pretty pens, and ooooo gotcha
And uppercase E being charge of an electron feels so cursed š
Faraday's constant is electric charge per mole of electrons. F*N_a (Avogadro's number = number of particles/atoms/molecules in one mole) which equals e, elementary charge sldkfj. It'd just be negative for electrons. With what I've learned so far, we don't have a specific symbol for electron charge itself.
But yet again I hate physics so maybe it's just my ultimate rival trying to hate me even more </3333
But with the k thing, I think my k's are weird just bc I'm weird sdlfjs. The only k I can recall for science is kinetic energy for k.e. or the constant in Coulomb's law but I'm sure there's other physics things with k too
#and for the physics variable thing#it could be just a semantics thing between different teachers or countries sldfj#idk im a silly billy florida man who doesn't like physics#leuchtturm anon

I also speak Spanish and I always made fun of the number 40 in French because my friends an I had this joke that I sounded like: cagar in Spanish so we always said that whenever we tried to pronounce it ššš
Tbh I never had parents who wanted me to study lots of languages, they were fine with me speaking English perfectly since itās universal and I pretty much accomplished it. I ended up speaking 7 languages in the long run (I pride myself on it because I was 17 when I finally reached that point) but itās been two years since then and now I only speak 4 š
I would love to learn Japanese for some reason, I found the phonetics really similar to Spanish and the writing seems so intricate but I will need time for it for sure
And for the question if studying to be a historian is hard or not. Not really, at least for me. It feels like being at a party where people are gossiping constantly ngl, you learn all this things about people in the past that are like: oh wow so this guy overtook the entire Mesopotamia? Oh my. but ofc there are some subjects that are DENSE and requiere thinking or a bit of math. Geography for example, we did economics and shit and š or philosophy, I never liked it so having to debate about certain topics and reflect on them IN GROUP almost killed me

I also speak Spanish and I always made fun of the number 40 in French because my friends an I had this joke that I sounded like: cagar in Spanish so we always said that whenever we tried to pronounce it ššš
oh my god now that i think about it, its true, it DOES sound like the word cagar HAHAHAH it sound more like cagarte, i never realised it š
The pronunciation is hard in French in my opinion, i have no clue how the hell i will manage to make the French people love me šæ (reference to the stereotype that french people give you the death glare when you mispronounce something AHAHDH)
Tbh I never had parents who wanted me to study lots of languages, they were fine with me speaking English perfectly since itās universal and I pretty much accomplished it. I ended up speaking 7 languages in the long run (I pride myself on it because I was 17 when I finally reached that point) but itās been two years since then and now I only speak 4 š
Well in my case actually my parents most of the time insisted on me learning English too because its, like you say, universal. My mum wanted me to learn French too but for some reason i had beef with that language until now HAHAHA
With the other languages i was the one insisting because for some reason i have a burning passion for languages, so they just helped me to study the languages i wanted by making me watch my favourite movies and shows in X language, then in German (native language)/English (the one i already knew), and then i would write down what i understood in THAT language, and would read in that language.
I know your pain because when I was like 6-7 I could read in like 5 languages (even in Old Italian because of an old Divine Comedy book we have) but NOW i had a great downfall and I know German/English/Spanish, and understand a bit of Italian and can read in Russian. What the hell happened to us and WHERE are our superpowers šā
I would love to learn Japanese for some reason, I found the phonetics really similar to Spanish and the writing seems so intricate but I will need time for it for sure
I know, right?! I love it as well. I know a few words but i always fail to ACTUALLY learn and write Romanji/Hiragana/Katakana because i have the memory of a fish and never have the time to properly learn it either ā So yeah, languages like Japanese/Chinese/Korean and even something like Arabic needs a lot of dedication. š
š
It feels like being at a party where people are gossiping constantly ngl, you learn all this things about people in the past that are like: oh wow so this guy overtook the entire Mesopotamia? Oh my.
THIA MADE ME LAUGH SO BADLY THE ANCIENT TEA IS BEING SPILLED I LOVE IT
but ofc there are some subjects that are DENSE and requiere thinking or a bit of math. Geography for example, we did economics and shit and š or philosophy, I never liked it so having to debate about certain topics and reflect on them IN GROUP almost killed me
MY GOD I WOULD DIE ā I supposed you guys studied something like that but had no idea it went that far š
My mum studied Economics and also had to study Anthropology and other things alike for that, your message pretty much reminded me of her experience š
God have mercy on us. I study Forensics (psychiatry, antrophology, biology, toxicology, etc), Genetics, Human Behaviour, Reproductive Medicine and other several things; and I WANT TO FUCKING DIE.
In Genetics we even get taught the linguistic and mathematical part because its actually widely connected like in the genetics components of who we are as individuals, and how all of that also affects our mentality and psychology. Dont get me started about the fact that i also have the ethics of Rep. Medicine, i have to learn calculus, algebra, chemisty, mathematics, etc. I cant complain because I ADORE what i study but im afraid for myself ā
