This is a really interesting phenomenon that isn't talked about nearly as much! It's the complete opposite of the idea that young adults and teens today have an attention span lasting a total of 30 seconds. Just a few days ago, I finished a vod of a 4 hr 45 mins stream (in ONE afternoon) about three men playing WolfQuest and barking and it retained my attention better than studying ever could.

Something is truly wrong with our education system if children these days HAVE the capability to listen and pay attention, but consciously (or subconciously) choose not to.

It's already (hopefully) been established that when people say that school is "boring", it's really just an umbrella term to mean a variety of unresolved problems and emotions that children lack the ability to articulate. By the time we DO have the words to say our... displeasures (for lack of better word) we have completely lost trust that the supposed responsible adults would figure out whats wrong and fix it and just accept the misery as a normal part of growing up.

School has completely broken down our trust in conventional means of learning that it either feels too impossible or too easy to do to the point that we instinctively zone out in lectures and avoid studying because subconciouly we believe all of our work would be pointless because we'll be labeled lazy, incompetent, or troubled for struggling with a learning system unfit for our brains.

i like when you watch a video essay from 5+ years ago and they make a joke/apologize for how long the video is and the runtime is like. 35 minutes. when we now live in an era of 3 hour intricate breakdowns of bad kids shows being everywhere.

Shout out to characters who want to be used. Shout out to characters who are so desperate to be worth something that they'll endure anything. Shout out to characters who build their entire self worth around being useful, being a tool. Shout out to characters who don't care how they are treated, as long as someone pays them any attention at all

BTW when you encounter a character and think "What's this guy's fucking problem?" that's your body trying to give you an out before you fall into obsession.

make vld characters more disabled in fics 2025 campaign. more than one of them are definitely hard of hearing after so many explosions and gunshots. give one of them a limp from a bone that healed incorrectly for a while before they got to a healing pod. scars and burns that limit someone’s mobility. show how some have to deal repeated long surgeries after they get to earth to improve some of those things. dealing with chronic pain, eyesight loss in at least one eye, not all 10 fingers at least! there is just no way they could get out of all of that the exact same they got there. show how some things have good days and bad days and others pile up to being just another part of their routine. above all: make them deal with change. the war changed them in too many ways to count and left them with much more than just haunting memories.

give them fucking history, things to show for what they went through. being defenders of the universe doesn’t make them immune. at the end of the day they are too made of muscle and flesh and bone.

Little bit from the multi chap work I am currently doing but couldn’t wait to show people based off Athens saying that Edwin wouldn’t have pet names for Charles, but its just kind of the way he says it

—

“Knew it wasn’t you. They didn’t sound right did they.”

“What?” Edwin stopped and looked at his partner “It was almost an exact copy my accent was perfectly done how could you possibly-“

“My name, they didn’t, you…it’s different when you say it. Doesn’t sound the same.”

“…Charles?”

The smile that broke out over his face was far too large and giddy for their current situation “Yeah, just like that. It's my favorite sound in the world you know.”

Edwin flushed “We should keep moving”

tom quote of the day: "it does seem to be a day for diva disappointment, doesn't it?"

Something that bothers me a little is how people think that being muscular is only when someone has sharp pumped up muscles (and also how to be "strong = visible ripped muscles"). It's impressing how I constantly see (usually young) people calling professional wrestlers who are basically all muscles "dad bodies" or "chubby". I bothers me because it feel like an unrealistic perspective on bodies. Like, one of the few times people are being "receptive" to chubby/fat bodies and they're not even chubby or fat bodies? Am I insane? Am I being a jerk?
