Found a fantastic academic paper on game design which really gets to the heart of a lot of what I'm trying to say in the Haruspex video yet for the life of me I couldn't find anything recent from the author no matter how hard I searched until I found another paper written by a woman who had the exact same email address as the author but a very different name then I finally realized what had happened.

Scorn and the Saint-Maker, chapter 44: King of the impossible

Scorn and the Saint-Maker is a murder mystery/ineffable husbands romance/who-turned-them-human Good Omens fanfic, set at a university in Scotland, with lots of (as-yet skippable) level-5 smut, ✨sexy maths✨ (passed peer review ✅), and one trans angel

Chapter 44 summary: A chapter about fruitless investigations, useless contacts, dubious music, and accidental breakthroughs.

Rating: Chapter rated T for swears. Fic rated E for skippable smut and instances of M-rated, heavy topics (please see tags).

Excerpt:

“What was that thing you wrote on it again?” Crowley said. “You know. When you were here around Christmas. Defaced my blackboard instead of cleaning the place. Did you ever see her comments, Angel?” “I think she wrote that you’re a numpty, dearest.” Mrs Sturrock cackled in approval. “Nonono, not that; the other thing – yes, Fell, very funny, you’re both bloody geniuses, shut up. Something about… ‘bout stars? Astrology.” Mrs Sturrock got a blank expression for a moment, then brightened. “Oh aye! Yous’d written, ‘the sun wiz in i’ sign’, so I wrate, ‘maybe it wiz no’.”

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to give you all a super heartfelt thank you for being patient with updates from this blog. I know it's been pretty quiet recently- life ultimately always will come first, and while I truly have been enjoying what I do recently, it has left me with very little time to sit down and write summaries. Thank you all so very much for being understanding of this, and still showing support anyways!

My spring break is coming up soon, so I'm hoping to take some of that time to get a few new summaries out. In the meantime, if you'd like to help contribute in any way, you are more than welcome to collaborate on requests in our discord or submit a summary through the google form! Links to both are in the pinned post <3 With love, and see you soon, Mod Acey :3

I procrastinated too hard and now my desk is a tad bit of a mess.

[studying0bl1n]

10% of psychology degrees done, ma dudessss

92 - 100(+15)/100 days of productivity ~ I can't believe I managed to be productive for 100 days AND MORE!!! WITHOUT BURNOUT!!!!!!!!

I studied really really hard this semester, and it's very rewarding to achieved my goal of keeping all my grades in A's. (I admit I was shocked when I saw 400 hours of studying, I thought it had been less)

In June I decided to start studying two things I always wanted to but never had the courage to start: Chess and Latin! It's an exercise in self-love not to demand that I be perfect in these new activities and to enjoy the learning process… but I think I'm managing it (thanks to my therapist)

This month I also officially started my first scientific research! I will study the impact of masking on the identity development of AFAB autistic teenagers, using as a case study the character Quinni from the series Heartbreak High.

See you in the next 100 days of productivity! (but only in the next semester heh ^w^)

bye ~~

one time a coworker saw me writing an essay (yes i was doing homework on the clock LOL) and pointed out my formatting of putting periods and commas within a quote, so like:

So-and-so, in their paper Fuck-and-all, explain that "penis and balls and penis and balls."

^ with the sentences final period being within the closing quotation. and he was like that's an AI thing isnt it? and i had to tell him i unfortunately memorized the owl purdue guides on format quotes and citations in MLA format in like 2015 and now i'm just stuck like this
