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!

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

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.

Me writing 2k words of a Dream Sans angst fic for the first time in a good handful of months in one sitting and still going at it because I'm in the zone now and looking at you all who have no clue you're about to get this oneshot today:

🕯️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?

🕯️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.

>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

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.

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.

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
