I'm at ¼ of all the material I need to revise for my ochem final on the 20th. That's good bc it means I'm slightly ahead of schedule which will probably be very helpful once I reach the second half of the material - I find it a lot more difficult than the first.
I can't believe this semester is almost over! One week of classes, then one final and I'm done with my second (!!!) year of uni. What's going on!
#the second half of the material is more difficult to me bc it's full of reactions i need to memorize lol#but even though yesterday's test went so meh im feeling rather optimistic about the final#which is always good#mine#op#studyblr#chemblr#studyspo#study motivation#chemistry#stemblr#sciblr#study#studying

I love your content, it is bespoke and incredible, but I yearn to know: what are your pronouns?
being cheeky and not revealing them anywhere bc its more fun that way
#eventually tho yeah#i will also say once again i have a perfectly delightful gender and pronouns to go with it but its more fun to be an enigma online#plus people can't assume things about me as easily#which is always good#ive had people guess the entire spectrum of pronouns/gender for me and the fact that nobody's settled on a definitive answer#means im doing something right#my posts#asks#voidmodeboywife

This isn't a way to replace or "fix" the problematic misrepresentation of DID that is key to Harvey Dent. It's more like proposing a new problem. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm adding on a new problem. I think Harvey Dent should have the hemispheres of his brain disconnected. Maybe he had extremely debilitating seizures as a child and had it surgically done. Maybe it was some really, really specific ass brain trauma. Regardless, buddy's got no working corpus callosum to speak of. It just makes a sort of sense in a lot of ways to me. And plus it would tee up someone pointing out that, you know, it actually would be the uninjured side of his head that's controlling Two-Face's hand
Honestly, the implications of that are intriguing. The way the brain works is such a fascinating puzzle, especially the complexity of consciousness. Sorry going about to go off into just a bit of research tangent, but there was one thing that stood out to me. Seems like they are still working out what goes on and it's not consistent with every person. Apparently though, you can see stuff in your left visual field and react to it, but can't consciously acknowledge it because the right side brain doesn't process language. And mind's stuck on this one idea. Not exactly practical to set up, but for the sake of the story. He sees Bruce with the mask off, but only in the left visual field. So he knows but isn't aware. And he's about to hurt/kill him and his hand lets go, and he can't understand why.
#still working on#does Bruce know about this?#and how does he react knowing the choice he made#like the idea too#of choosing and not choosing#of knowing and not knowing#being split between two unequal halves#two sides of the same coin if you will#if that's anything#batman#harvey dent#fandom#decided that bruce does know#or finds out#more angst#which is always good#If I ever published fanfiction#I'd probably be the only one retentive to include sources#honestly though#that'd be pretty wild as a standard practice#imagine all the niche research material one could comb through if so inclined#probably for the best#spend enough time on AO3 as is#and I've gone completely off topic

🕯️was there a fic that was really hard on you to write, or took you to a place you didn't think it would take you?
fic writer asks
🕯️was there a fic that was really hard on you to write, or took you to a place you didn't think it would take you?
of your gallows heavensbound, a piece about G'raha right as he enters the Crystal Tower and lays down to rest. It was initially a twitter thread I made, that I then simply had to expand on.
While I wrote (and posted) it in a frenzied flurry of inspiration it was surprisingly hard on me on the following re-reads and it was a very scary fic to write -- i stressed a lot about staying in character, about trampling on others' headcanons for G'raha (who is a very beloved character), and I think if I'd let myself think too much about it I never would have posted it.
Even now I'm still not sure where I sit with it or how I feel about it, but I leave it up nonetheless. I both want and don't want to rewrite it -- I don't think I could capture that same flash of inspiration as I had the first time.
#thank you so much for asking mimble!!! <3#mimble-sparklepudding#a tough question to answer but it made me think a lot#which is always good#ask

picked my spell but i continue to agonize over ability scores
at least i have a full week to decide what to do lol
#stuff and things#5e tag#5/6 are even numbers so splitting the two points won't do me much good#it would be more of a ''plant the seed and wait'' move#but if i do +2 it would be to wisdom or charisma#obviously i'm a cleric so wisdom is important#my spell save is currently 13 which is decent but could be better#it'll bump up the next time we level up too which is something to consider#charisma would be more for mm tasty flavor#which is always good#Aja isn't meant to be a heavy hitter#he's a face who buffs and debuffs#sorry for the stream of consciousness lol

>Join a union
>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on
>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members
>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on
#anyway this is why i'm the way i am about politics and people who advocate against 'participating in the system'#i am on my way to becoming one of the ten guys and frankly? it's fucking exhausting#i chatted with the union president afterwards and he got this haunted look in his eye#and was like 'i'm glad to see you getting involved but remember you can say no. you can always say no.#don't let anyone bully you into doing more than you want to. make time for yourself. YOU CAN SAY NO.'#which was good and much appreciated advice! but also. ominous

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.
#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers#they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy#but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure#respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys#I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years#anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period#i was always at my besties house lol#i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever...#bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
#warm up#writeblr#actually this is because again i don't go here#i don't read/write fanfic but i have nothing but respect for my troops#but i also have never played minecraft. im sorry. please ask me any question about pokemon tho i love that shit#anyway#out of some banal and thoughtless curiosity i watched the minecraft movie trailer#and again i know nothing about minecraft. i am aware im in an endangered population#but im watching this going: this is so fucking.... BAD#there is NO LOVE in it!#like if someone who has NO history in minecraft watches that and is like - ohhh this is soulless#WHO IS THE AUDIENCE????#ppl who love minecraft are gonna hate it!!!#at some point it's the ''mean girls musical movie'' problem --#some people will always hate the premise of what you're doing and some people will love it#make it for the ppl who love it#and usually that somewhat convinces the haters to like. chill enough to TRY it . bc it IS good#but when you try to make it for the haters..... nobody likes it. it doesn't have passion. energy. footwork#which is a small way of saying a big thing: if you love something. fucking make it and assume someone will love it too.#i love u . be brave . be bold. be in boston and come to my reading#where i wrote a really weird fucked up little book.#love u love u love u etc

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)
