the magic mountain meets greek tragedy meets bluebeard & other folktales meets the secret history meets grand budapest hotel meets radetzky march & emperor’s tomb meets the haunting of hill house meets black mirror meets midsommar meets the yellow wallpaper meets primeval and other times -> olga tokarczuk’s the empusium
#or at least this is my impression so far#tbf these are just vibes & motives. but I See Them#i would say: maybe (maybe) not as exceptional as the best olga can be#but I’m still having so much fun. immaculate vibes I can’t wait to find out what it’s all about👀#though I already have my theories and it’s not like olga writes mystery stories for mystery’s sake so yeah. I’m not expecting something#totally unpredictable#also i suspect part of the enjoyment is kinda lacking because I’m used to reading her translated in italian rather than English#so the tone of voice is slightly different#still. I’m already halfway through which might give an idea about how enjoyable the book is#the empusium

ALSO I am learning how to teach very introverted students, something my natural skillset as a teacher does not help me with.
#one of my greatest tools in the toolkit of my teaching (imo) is that I am unpredictable#I will turn on a dime and I’ll share a thought from the depths of my soul or back of the pantry of my random opinions#that will make them laugh or hook them and they want to hear more#with a group of introverted students maybe they love to see it maybe they don’t but it doesn’t work for them to become engaged#they get so quiet and so still#and not in the good way that kind of happens but kind of just in the scared mouse kind of way#BUT. this past week I kind of had a breakthrough#I totally wasn’t planning on it but the moment was right so I talked to them about them being quiet and introverted (gently teasing them)!#and then I said ‘but do you like it when I just stand here and talk about the book’ and they were like ‘yeah! kind of the pressure is off’#and then I said ‘oh! that’s good to know. because when you’re quiet it makes me feel like you hate me’#(not realizing until I said it that that was the heart of the issue)#and they laughed in surprise (i didn’t say it in a way where I was putting that burden on them in a serious way)#and then I said ‘yeah last night I went home like ‘omg was that a stupid thing to say about Frank Churchill?? no one responded’#and then they kind of shriek-laughed at me and they were like noooooo#and then they said what if we gave you a thumbs up when you were done so you know we don’t hate you#and I said that would be great#and THEN a few days later I gave them an agenda for our discussion written out on the board#where I talked and they listened (I called it discussion with myself) and then they had questions to ponder and things to talk about#with each other. and a lot of time. and THEN I cold called them (they won’t volunteer)#but by that time they were so much more relaxed and they knew what we were doing#so they talked more! and it was so goooood#ALSO idk if it was them#or me who had changed but by the time I got to lecturing at them again#I could feel the quiet warmth that I could not before#(the absence of which is what makes speaking publicly instantly a torture to me l o l)#and it helped so much! like. they didn’t say much (some of them did the thumbs up)#but I had cleared the expectations for them and for me tbh and it helped. I was not waiting for a response from them so in fact I got more#of one. and best of all I could feel them feeling both the warmth and the power of Emma a little bit more#it is starting to click. anyway this is so much but y eah#I’ve been wrestling with this problem a l l year. cracking it in December lol

One week ago I barely knew who neil josten was and now he takes up 90% of my thoughts . Who even was I before reading these books

Shoot out to Great for having the audacity to counter his father. Vegas might be more badass than Great, but he can never confront Gun like Great did his father yeah? So Great won this round lol. Great : 1 Vegas : 0
And Great and Vegas have their crush leave them. At least Great didn't get punched to oblivion. Tyme is a boxer too like Pete (or at least trained a little).
I love how Great's character is a little unhinged (a spoiled brat? or he's just depressed? With med and all. Idk) but it's different kind of Vegas' kind of unhinged. Yeah Great and Vegas are assholes and I love Bible's interpretation of them.
For the next, will Great survive after he got shot? Vegas had survived after getting shot FOUR times. Come on Great, you only got shot ONCE! Be a dear and survive so you can make OnlyFans account together with Tyme! (Although I'm not even sure that Tyme will survive after he himself got shot.) God this series is depressing af.
On a side note, I am somehow glad that it was Tonkla who killed Great. Now it'll be funnier if Tyme's shooter is Tonkla too.
#Oh and how about his cat? Tonkla killed it too?#he wanted Korn's sympathy or something.#Let's make Tonkla a total psycho!#4Minutes is so unpredictable that everything can be a possibility.#4 minutes#tymegreat#greattyme#vegaspete#4 minutes the series#4 minutes ep 6

can't believe this hasn't been said before but unhinged!scarlett and unhinged!dave would be an iconic duo. shame pi didn't get a second season bc these two in an alliance would basically succeed in destroying the island, they'd wipe everyone out
the fact that they're both versions of the nerd character so they're already smart in their own ways, the fact that they have absolutely zero fucks to give anymore, their individual darker sides have come out (whether it was hidden consciously (scarlett) or unconsciously (dave)), and they've each attempted to kill/seriously injure one or more contestant(s) (and mess up the island in the process) just to reach their end goal. imagine if these two found a common goal somehow, literally nothing could get in their paths (except possibly each other)
#these two in an alliance that ends with one or both of them turning on the other would be wild#tbh i know ppl talk abt wishing roti getting a second season but the potential in a second season for pi?? there is so much!!#literally half the dynamics have changed and so have personalities for most of the characters in pi#max and scarlett's dynamic change and their shifts in characters#topher could easily shift from chris lover to chris hater. two extremes!!#he just wants to get chris fired or in pain or smth lmao#dave becoming more competitive and less romantic he turns more heartless (and a bit more reserved and unpredictable)#his heart is there its just v shrouded. and repressed memories dave of the finale!!#he knows smth big happened but the memories of exact details are fuzzy (when that mental curtain is ripped away its gonna be chaos)#amy and sammy's change in dynamics. sammy standing up for herself!!#i wanna say sky would join a second season to get a chance at the money (im a shawn winner truther)#but idk if after all that she'll want to lmao#but skave dynamic total shift if sky comes back!!!#dave doing anything to get her eliminated sky slowly starting to retaliate#it'd be interesting to explore ella and sugar's characters if they've changed or not#evil scarlett who doesnt hide it!!#jashawn ain’t gonna join i think lmao they deserve a nice break plus they split the million so#rodney who is still a romantic but starts to understand the truth of boundaries and the rose colored glasses start to break#(he gets a sexuality revelation when he crushes on one of the guys)#just imagine how wack things would have gone with a second season#the different interactions and alliances and friendships and enemies#and the interactions/dynamics in the first season def would have changed in a second one#this is making me remember the whole layout for a second pi season younger me wrote with new and old contestants#anyway! second season pi was so deserved it would have been wack#noahtally-famous#total drama#td dave#td scarlett#tdpi

god, the post gig blues are hitting hard tonight 😩 time for a hot water bottle and yet another reread of @gasdancer’s joie de vivre i think
#i never understand why with some gigs the post gig blues hit so much harder than others#it feels totally unpredictable and at the whims of the very specific energy of the show and my own mental state#i do feel things very strongly (too strongly some might argue)#and sometimes i think my heart is just a little too fragile to hold the weight of so many big emotions at once 🥺#and idk#afterwards it just feels a bit bruised#anyway i need to stop rambling into the tags late at night like this#i will go and read fic and that will fix everything#please ignore me lol#i am very sleep deprived and overly emotional and probably making extremely little sense 😅#lulu posts

I can't strop thinking about Spike chain-smoking and unironically listening to "Headphones On" by Addison Rae.
"You can't fix what has already been broken
You just have to surrender to the moment
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better "
He's vibing in the cemetery and if someone asks him what he's listening to he is definitely going to deflect and say Dead Kennedy's or something because he cannot let them know he's having his Pop Girly moment. Dawn comes by and asks and okay, fine he'll tell her, but she has to swear an oath of secrecy. Dawn totally does her classic little smirk at him. And he shrugs and says, "the girl's right. I do need a cigarette to make me feel better."
#been thinking about this all day at work while i make americanos#and spike is like “its the ONLY modern pop song I like OKAY?” but he is totally lying...#is it ooc? i think yes but also he is so unpredictable lol#spike and dawn are besties i miss their friendship every day#spike btvs#spike headcanon

Fandom: Clinical Trial/Damned Rating: Teen and Up Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Angel has been at the institute for all of a day and a half, and has already been placed into the care of a therapist. Their therapist who is definitely going to be completely normal about them. Not weird, not obsessive, not creepily intense. It's too bad they already know that's not the case.
Absolutely my longest fic to date lol. Still in progress, updates Fridays for at least the next while haha
#Clinical Trial#Damned#Fanfiction#I don't really have an explanation for becoming possessed to This extent#Like I knew I was inspired and fixated but damn - Damned! Lol#I've been having a pretty incredible time writing - so fun! - and then combatting the urge to post everything at once lol#I wanna proofread it first!! I just get so excited haha#At present I've projected this fic to be abouuut eight chapters I think?#Originally I just had an outline - very loose outline lol - for up to seven chapters and then I /got/ to Ch. 7 like#Oh yeah no this isn't gonna wrap here there's still too much that needs to happen lol#I actually can't think of a time that has happened to me before haha it was a surprise to me!!#And that each chapter is averaging pretty long and yet fairly consistent - I'm not doing that on purpose!#I'm just being dragged along by the inspiration and this is where it's gotten me so far lol#Like I said - fantastic time of it - just unprecedented basically#It makes sense that it'd be these two tho <3 I've never written Anything as much as I have of Damned#And Clinical Trial took me up by the lapels so strongly#Inevitable in one way and totally unpredictable in another! Haha#Please do read it I've been having such fun with it :D#And also play Clinical Trial!!!!!! It's free and so good!!!!!!

Using "cw: disability" is a little bit icky. It implies disabilities are something to hide/something to be ashamed of, even though I'm sure thats not your intention! Using the tag "disability" without the cw tag would be better, and still allow people to use the blacklist system if they want and keep your tagging system clean/organized. /gen /nm
I mean I've got cw tags for things like kids and aging, but fair enough. I'll remove all of the "cw"s. (I've never thought of a content warning being inherently negative, personally, but I'm not out to offend anyone, my bad).
#I'm gonna assume you're probably a fanartist who checks reblog tags bc this sideblog has a grand total of 4 followers including my gf lol#so yeah sorry I didn't mean to upset anyone#y'all some days I'm so deep into gender dysphoria I have to blacklist anything trans-related bc it'll just make me spiral harder#the mental state of others is so unpredictable that I just try to tag everything in case they have similar coping mechanisms#but yeah a tag's a tag so I don't mind removing the cw#god that's gonna be so much work lmaoooo I hope the mass tag editor is still functional T-T#mtext

I have a friend who I really like who's been responsible for organising a lot of the social things Ive done lately and most of the new people I've met but she's also the flakiest most unreliable person 😭
#and yeah some of it is unavoidable#like i appreciate her pulling out of things instead of coming sick and potentially passing it on!#but half of it is totally avoidable stuff is she just planned ahead sightly#look at a calendar before agreeing to stuff#don't book trips over periods of time when you already have plans#dont agree to other plans when you already have plans with people#i really like her otherwise but this unpredictability drives me nuts lol

Mephiles the Dark is a cool name but Mephiles of the Darkness sounds like the evolved form he becomes after you level him up past lvl 66 in Chaos Emerald Pit after midnight while holding a moonstone.
#shenanigans#screaming my thoughts into the void#sth#mephiles the dark#would he be dark/fire type?#or dark/psychic because he's the mind?#actually I can totally imagine he'd troll people by being something completely unpredictable and different to what his appearance implies#maybe poison/fairy or some fuckery like that
