university of edinburgh
Ever wondered what it feels like to study in a city where centuries-old buildings house cutting-edge research? Where cobblestone streets lead to world-class libraries and labs? That’s the University of Edinburgh experience in a nutshell. Let’s get real—choosing a university isn’t just about rankings and reputation. It’s about finding a place where you’ll thrive for years. The University of…

Is she Lucy Westenra, or is she just a vessel for the writer's barely disguised fantasy of a women being punished for her promiscuity? Is she really"Bram Stoker's" Lucy Westenra: a naive, innocent 19 year old, with a cheery personality and a bright future ahead of her? Or has the writer instead just slapped her name on an OC that behaves nothing like her, and- with none of the grace or decorum that Lucy's tragically short story deserves- sexualized her slow and agonising death as much as possible, whilst very unsubtly doing their best to blame her for being murdered, so that we won't object to her being killed again later in an even more gruesome and sexual manner?

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

I'm feeling a lot better!! I've accepted that I'm an intern who is allowed to be a idiot/do random shit for absolutely no reason. I just show up in the lab, turn the lab into a club for a few hours, and then walk around the city with a beverage (or cookie?) in my hand. My purpose was to have fun, not find the cure for cancer.

Nobody talks about how difficult it is to be a student w/NPD!!
Hi! I’m bread, I’m a psychology student with both autism and NPD, and I don’t see a lot of traction about how these disorders play into academics, so I’ll start!:
Grandiosity, especially with an autistic’s photographic memory, makes lectures feel “worthless”. I can cover the material at home. Last year, I attended 5 lectures, and passed the year with a 76 (UK student whoop! For those who don’t use the UK grading system, it’s a pretty solid indication of a first). This DIRECTLY feeds into my delusional narrative of “I’m the most capable student here, I’m going to redefine the field of neuroscience” when in reality, I can’t be bothered to sit in a lecture.
Ignoring assignments and coursework to “protect” from an ego hit, causes bad grades, therefore ensuring an ego hit is taken. I often am paralysed by the fear of not doing fantastic work 100% of the time, mainly because this damages my fragile delusion that I have built my entire academic life on. However, this causes my work to often not be submitted, meaning obviously, my grades drop. It’s a viscous cycle.
Other students are “below me”, I haven’t been able to make any friends. When I think about the people on my course, I am absolutely certain that “none of these people have the same drive as me, none of them have the same ability or ambitions”. Automatically, I subconsciously see them as “unworthy” and “wasting my time”. This makes it super hard to make friends.
Stigma, stigma, and more stigma. Whilst autism is slowly loosing its stigma, the same cannot be said for NPD. I’m terrified to even mention how this impacts me truly, I lie to student support and word my issues to seem like they’re just autism, which means I don’t get the correct support. We don’t see a lot of NPD rep in academics (barring the stigmatising, outdated research about us), which makes it hard to even imagine having a career with NPD, let alone in the psychology and neuroscience field. Sometimes I feel like this is for nothing, and I’ll end up like the stereotype says I will.

god i want. an au where it dosn't work. where it's just arr g'raha who's woken up, and he doesn't have all these memories and all these people keep looking at him like they're mourning someone. the world has changed and time has changed and all the people he knows have changed, but he hasn't changed, he was just sleeping, just sleeping, and the world nearly ended several times and apparently he helped prevent yet another end but he has no memory of this. they want him to join the scions. he does not know these people. (he barely knows the warrior of light, now, but did he ever truly know them in the first place?) his little sister is alive and well. she looks at him like a ghost. she's changed, and she's older than him now. he acts bratty and loud and brash to cover up the fact that he does not know anything it seems, and he is tired but he was sleeping for so long, so how could he be tired?
he doesn't know these people. they seem to know him. he wonders if he'd killed someone, when it was him and not that exarch who woke up. he wonders if it should have been him who was "killed" in that way, if it is him that lives and not that man who had known and become friends with all these figures from legend. he wonders if he'll always be fated to be a historian one step back from everything, because he simply cannot be a hero.

Hiii. I was in the lab for most of the day- another simple experiment, and then set up a Western blot in the afternoon. I read some of The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. I'm working on finishing my presentation for tomorrow + updating my lab notebook!

Autism in university
So i'm just halfway in 1st semester in university and it's quite though. I'm studing health and nutrition, which is quite interesting. So reflecting on a few things which have happen in over the first two months.
I have already blurted out i'm autistic and i felt like i scared people away. A handfull from my class already know. Looking back i wish i just kept my mouth shut.
Masking is really exhausting and when i come home i just lay in bed for hours. I barely have the energy to study.
The social font is whack! utter whack. I can't connect with my classmates at all. I have participated in a good handful of social events, because i do want to get to know them. It's hard because they have different interests than me. Very different interests. It's totally okay they have different interests than me. However it makes it hard for me to connect with them.
My diagnosis that up a lot of space in my mind. I have become more aware of my diagnosis when i'm with non-autistic people.
Don't get me wrong my classmates are nice people.. it's just me who doesn't know how to socialise.

thesis posts masterlist
Since I am collecting what I write while working on my thesis in preparation to a lecture in which I will be guested to share my thesis work experience I decided to create a themed masterlist (I don't think I did it in the past, but I also not sure about that but here it is anyway). When I was working on my thesis I was also writing a thesis diary in my daily posts to document my experience and my work. All those posts were tagged as #thesis diary so in case you are interested in seeing my day to day thoughts and process you can find them here. These entries go from the 20th of April 2022 to the 8th of November 2022 (the day I defended my thesis and officially graduated). I hope this small masterlist post can be somewhat helpful, and if you have questions my inbox is always open!
