So I had the strangest dream this weekend and nobody understands me so I need to share it with you because you might. Press J to skip this post if you can’t deal, I will accept this.

In my dream I was standing on the back deck of a rural cabin that overlooked a beautiful Vermont/Scottish Highlands landscape of unspoiled wilderness. It was a crisp, perfect autumn morning. I held a cup of cooling coffee in my hands as I leaned against the railing and scanned the perfect rolling hills in the midground, behind which the great patterned mountains with their snowcaps marched on until they blended with the horizon: #aesthetic

As I gazed at a distant meadow clearing in the trees, a pair of brightly coloured humanoid creatures emerged from the woods and began to dance for each other. It was an esoteric, beautiful mating dance, a strange combination of instinct and choreography. I felt awe washing over me. I marvelled. I felt a deep sense of wonder and peace as I observed this vanishingly rare encounter that I had never thought to observe in person. These animals were instantly recognisable but had never been studied in the wild. I felt incredibly humbled and privileged to witness this behaviour - I knew that I was the first human witness to observe this behaviour - and I reached for my phone, wondering if I should film it, so it could join the scholarly record, where it NEEDED to be. This could change everything. But then I held back - something told me “no,” to let the creatures have their privacy.

Ok, I can’t go any further without telling you that they were Teletubbies.

A red one and a yellow one. I know. I know. Stay with me here.

The cryptids melted back into the woods. My subconscious drew a discreet veil over the rest of their mating ritual, but I knew instinctively that this had been a dance of courtship. I was busy pondering the implications, because they were critical. You see, although the creatures were instantly recognisable as Teletubbies, as I had studied them, even at a distance, I had an incredible realisation.

They were adult Teletubbies.

This realisation dawned on me and in my dream I understood it fully. The ones that we know of - the captive ones that we have seen on television - are juveniles. In fact, they are the equivalent of toddlers. When you see the adults this becomes obvious. The garbled speech and silly movements of the four captive Teletubbies we know are the babbles of babyhood, a private primal toddler-language brewed up between sentient beings who have never encountered an adult of their own kind.

The adult Teletubbies have more branching, complex antlers and shaggy coats. They are less brightly coloured. They are terrifyingly large. Their strangely human faces, emerging from the thick fur, are unquestionably adult; remote, serene, reproachful. Their television screens are glitchy, esoteric and unknowable. They are cryptids whose public exploitation has undermined their rarity and their strange, alien dignity.

In my dream my feelings of awe and peace turned to great sadness at the fate of the captive toddler Teletubbies. I realised that I had to be the scientist who brought this discovery to the world and raised awareness of their plight. And I also questioned: are Teletubbies like axolotls? Do they exhibit neoteny? (Axolotls, the cute aquarium pets with flaring gills, are actually juveniles of an amphibious species - if given the right conditions they’ll grow up into land-dwelling black newts. But they can breed in their aquatic juvenile form, and most spend their whole lives in this form. Deprived of their wild potential, will the Teletubbies ever mature? Or are they merely experiencing a long childhood, natural for a species that is unimaginably long-lived?)

So in my dream my husband came out onto the back deck and I began to share these discoveries with him and before I could even bring up the axolotls he just said “what the fucking fuck” and went away again.

I woke up disgruntled and unable to capture the feeling of peace and sadness. I then tried to explain this to my husband in the waking world, and he said “what the fucking fuck” and walked away before I even got to the explanation of the Teletubbies being toddlers, which just goes to show that you never know someone as well as you think you do.

Anyway I’m sure you guys will join me in this knowledge. And also I’ve googled it and apparently the Teletubbies reboot features infant Teletubbies, so clearly they are getting more from somewhere and the time to question this is NOW

Just doing some stuff

Happy valentines day my lovely followers. Thanks for sticking around.

Yeah baby ;p

I saw a post on Facebook that said Marry the guy who turns up at your door after you block him.

Let that sink in.....

I understand the sentiment like oh his effort and commitment wow! Buuuuut come on....I'm sure I don't NEED to go into this and yet I will.

First the most obvious, why... after blocking someone would you WANT them to turn up at your door? That is creepy behaviour and says they are being disrespectful of your boundaries.

Secondly if he's turning up because you're being a general brat then geezus look at your own behaviour. Why are you acting out to get that kind of attention?

Either way.... not at all healthy. Come on

😑😑😤😤😤😤

Im feeling so nervous today. I dont think I could take any surprises. Kind of just want to hide away but I know that if I actually did that, this feeling wouldn't leave. I'm just kind of over it. I'm nervous about my dissertation and my creative project. What does it all mean? What have I spent all my time doing? And is it valid? It may all be coming together but I think I'm panicking because I'm not sure what IT is. I'd feel pretty shitty if I've spent all my time and research on something that just ends up as a "so what?"

Im privileged to have problems that don't hold dangerous consequences. I know that much. I, like any person just want something to turn out ok though. It will in time, I'm sure. It's just hard to see the forest for the trees right now and it's getting me down.

I feel like my tumblr is the only place that I can just vent my feelings anymore and yet I dont utilise it because no one is here anymore so there's no real opportunity for support. 😞

I'm feeling a bit stressed because of my study commitments clashing my student mentor position.

I dont really think I'm being effective at either position right now. My commitments are directed at my studies, thats what I want to do....

With the student mentor position, I'm able to help other people with their studies. I like doing that, but recently we've been attempting to define what we do and making the mentor program better. We're attempting to make a video, advertising our faces and our skills so students know who we are.... with Covid, things have gotten harder. This has affected so many things.

It's hard to type it all out, im just frustrated because i keep attempting to help move things forwards and be that progress, but people keep getting in the way and stopping me and I'm not sure if it's the universe challenging me or cautioning me and at this point it's just frustrating as all hell. I keep losing my temper and the frustration and tears are real. I don't even know why I let it get to me.

It could just be that I'm feeling those childhood patterns of wanting to follow a plan and do the right thing and I'm afraid of failing and being revealed as ... ineffective at being a mentor.

I haven't seen a student to help them in a while -_- and mmmmm just feeling kind of shitty about it all and wishing I didn't. I'll bounce back fast enough, it's just been rough the past couple of months. Deaths in the family keep piling up and such. Sigh everyone is doing it tough, makes it harder dealing with each other because we can't see the pain at face value.

This is me, signing out. I'll get better. Just have to give myself some time and maybe have a chat with my supervisor.

Thanks for reading xx

My heart! Omg I'm in tears and snotting everywhere 😭😭😭😭😭😭

So I was rereading Harry Potter, when I came across this and thought- what if instead of Cedric Diggory, Cassius Warrington had been chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament?

Imagine Dumbledore calling out the name of the Hogwarts champion and it isn’t a Gryffindor, or a Ravenclaw, or even a Hufflepuff, but it’s a Slytherin. A student from a House most people hate.

Imagine Cassius Warrington getting up, and three out of four Houses are booing at him and shouting things like “NO!” or, “We can’t have a Slytherin champion!” or demanding a retry. But he’s a Slytherin- he’s been dealing with this shit since he got sorted, so he keeps his head high and joins the other champions.

Imagine Harry trying to catch Warrington alone because he doesn’t really want to associate with Slytherins (plus Malfoy has this tendency of being around the guy ALL THE TIME since he got chosen), but at the same time he’s also fair enough not to want him to walk into the first task unprepared.

Imagine Warrington walking over to Harry a few months later, and Ron and Hermione both jump into a protective stance, wands out, but instead of attacking Harry he just tells him to stick the egg underwater. (Because Slytherins don’t forget those who helped them out).

Imagine Warrington and Harry helping each other out in the labyrinth.

Imagine Harry being devastated when Peter kills Warrington- because Voldemort doesn’t care what house they’re form, a spare is a spare.

Imagine the uproar that causes among the Slytherins, because some of their parents really are Death Eaters and they know what really happened.

Imagine Slytherins fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts and shouting “This is for Cassius!”
