#Im here rooting for you!!<3

[idkfitememate]

I have another question, it's not really about writing, but I will have to repeat classes (I think it's how we call it in english ?) and that scare me. And I just want to ask how not having scare to it, to repeat my classes.

(At the end I will be the 'Question Anon' with all my anons lmao-)

If you want you can totally be Question Anon!

But about your question - and again sorry for the less than speedy response - I again had to think.

I’ll admit repeating a class can mean two things, repeating a single class or repeating a grade, and I’m going to go based off personal experience so I’m going to assume you just mean a single class, if not I’m sorry.

I personally had to repeat a math class in order to make it into the next grade and as such I did it during summer school and to be honest, I was fucking terrified. It was because of a lot of things but the main one was that I thought I was a failure. But then I got in there and realized that I wasn’t. That sounds weird but here’s how I thought about it.

One, there were people older than me in the class, and that told me - internally at least - that that meant that, of course, others had trouble with this subject.

Two, this was less me failing more than it was me just not getting a subject. Failing doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t get a subject, it might just mean you need a little more help or your need to learn it in a different way.

Retaking a class isn’t something to be scared of. It’s a chance to improve and learn. Use it as an opportunity to grow and learn, as well as ask questions.

During school, I bombed that class with a big old F, but I got it up to a B when I retook it.

This will sound bad, but people retake classes all the time, but that proves and shows that they are determined to succeed. They’re taking every chance and opportunity to improve, unlike others who may give up and never get better. Taking to opportunities to redo the class is showing that you are unwilling to give up and are willing to push forward.

There are around 8.1 BILLION people on this planet, and no one is the same. Imagine how many people are out there retaking classes as well. How many people are out there do what they have to do in order to improve their education. You’re not alone in this. There are dozens of people out there doing the same as you, perhaps even older people trying to finally make it. You’ll have so many people cheering you on, including me.

Take this opportunity and make it your own to grow and improve. As we like to say here in the oil guzzling, eagle ridding and burger chomping capital of the world: Take that bull by the horns!!

I believe in you, you got this, grow and improve and win. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, your doing your best, and your trying to succeed and damnit, thats already better than a good majority of people.

-Critical Role Campaign 3, Episode 91, "True Heroism"

[themyscirah]

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

rereading random bits of descendants of olympus (as one does) and. vera <3 still soooo obsessed with how she takes lupa's divinity. like MAN.......there is something to how shes had to scrape and claw her way into every single good thing shes ever had. that she's never just been able to KEEP these things, that she is always always always fighting for them. and so of course she takes divinity. she wants to LIVE. and in this world where the fates themselves are trying to control her, its like--yeah. maybe you do need a gods power to finally get like, at least a year of the life you want. the life you werent supposed to have. forever thinking about vera's one line in her chapter thats like 'of course the fates are losing power. because they'd never let someone like leo into my life.' YELLS. FOREVER.

also have we talked enough about minnie I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MINNIE--

[volivolition]

heyheyheyheyhey. Voli. Plz make Authroity propaganda too I want him to win

hi! so uh. i don't have a solid design for Authority yet (besides "oh buddy you would not survive the ides of march, huh?") and also i love Esprit (skill of community and connections to like-minded people... camaraderie! being part of a group! my friend) and also this is not the main poll im focusing on at the moment [INTENSE ADHD CREATURE STARING AT VOLITION] but hell yeah, im down to make little a silly thing for them!! as a treat <3

^ yay!! go vote for guys who i don't have solid designs for~!! [tinny yippee sound effect]

WHITE CHECK: CONCEPTUALIZATION [IMPOSSIBLE] - Draw convincing Authority propaganda. +1 Love drawing the skills -1 Haven't slept yet -1 Haven't designed him yet -1 Haven't written his Character Study Chapter yet -2 Past attempts looked like UnderfelI Papyrus... -2 Rooting for Esprit?? -3 ROOTING FOR SHIVERS -5 Hyperfocus trained on Volition -5 AND VOLITION IS LOSING 😭

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Impossible: Failure] - What do you mean failure? No, it's simple, watch how naturally it comes to you. Just take the psyche purple, shade in the dark eye sockets, touches of glowing white pupils, a stern expression, awful eyebags, just darken the center of the face as a whole, add the… broken… crown...

CONCEPTUALIZATION - OH GODDAMMIT, that's just Crownhead again. This has Implications for your personal fanfic universal canon lore that you are unsure how to contend with right now. Sorry, your creativity has officially clocked out. A doodle will have to suffice.

i don't think people hcing charlie as transfem are trying to dismiss the transmasc charlie hc! i think it's more of a projection thing for a lot of people, since i know at least a few of the main people who enjoy the headcanon are transfem themselves!! i don't think you have much to worry about in terms of people dismissing the tmasc or other genderqueer charlie hc anyways, since it's already much more popular! i think you're perhaps being a bit too critical.

I've literally never said anything like this at all, I think you've either misinterpreted something else I've said or have the wrong blog.

All of my Charlie gender-based posts or reblogs I've stated/tagged that I think any interpretation of Charlie's gender can make sense, be it transmasculine, transfeminine, nonbinary, agender, whatever you want.

I am one of the ~3 blogs that has access to The Bathroom Problem script and who posted and pointed out that you can make out/slightly hear the Joyce cuts in the episode itself. I would not have excitedly shared that for open-interpretation if I was "worried" people are "dismissing" transmasc Charlie headcanons. (Which, again, I've literally never said, but in any case, I believe it's valid for anyone to dismiss a headcanon they don't agree with, fandom is a sandbox.)

What I personally don't care for are genderbends and, almost by extension, analysis/meta on canon scenes that rename/re-gender the characters with no basis (or, one that comes off wrong). Both topics I've literally never publicly spoken out against here, nor have I said anything bad/negative to everyone who personally enjoys these things, so there is no way for me to possibly be "too critical" in that regard. I keep most of my opinions to myself and my close mutuals, almost exactly for what you're saying: I personally don't want to harsh or dismiss anyone's headcanons.

I have never said, and have never meant to imply, that anyone interpreting Charlie as transfem is attempting to dismiss anyone else's headcanon (which again would be a non issue to me anyway).

2, 17, 22 for Saltburn

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

this means nothing to anybody who follows me for saltburn, but i just answered this question about my other blorbo and came to the exact same conclusion for the complete opposite reason. oliver quick would NEVER top because he is clawing to be the main character of every room that he enters. he wants to be desired so badly that he'll reinvent himself into whoever he thinks you want.

there's a sort of trope in obsession-related media where the obsessor ends up forcefully taking from their victim exactly what they want. and i think that oliver subverts this narrative by never taking anything from felix. he never asks for more than he's given. when he finally has the opportunity to kiss felix, he doesn't. he takes from venetia, and he takes from farleigh, and he takes from james and elspeth, but at the crux of his character, is his need to be taken by felix. this is, of course, a metaphor for bottoming LMAO

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

ok so tbh i'm not a huge fic person because i'm so incredibly picky about the way that the media that i care about is interpreted, which is why i've never read a single saltburn fic and honestly i probably won't ever, just because i feel like there is very little room in this story to expand and no way to twist and rewrite it in a way that is true to the characters that i care so much about. but WITH THAT BEING SAID, i was honestly so totally astonished by @125hr's cattonquick art that it made me realize that maybe i do want to see more beautiful art of them kissing and we can all pretend like they had their moment<333

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

this should honestly be it's own post, but since my last rewatch i've been thinking a ton about the final dance being a reflection of felix's initial tour through saltburn, which has been talked about! but what i haven't seen talked about is all of the other scenes that end up echoing each other. felix's life on the screen and oliver's role in it form a perfect mirror image, starting and ending with oliver staring at felix at parties and not being able to touch him. starting and ending with oliver watching felix have sex with someone that's not him. starting and ending with oliver fucking people who aren't felix in an attempt to get closer to him. on a second rewatch, when you know all of the signs, there's such a devastating sense of oliver returning back to square one, lost in a crowd full of felix's friends and nobody even knows his name. there is a time before felix and there is a time after felix and exactly at the center of this timeline, there is a man on his hands and knees in a bathtub getting the closest he will ever get to the thing that he wants.

[goldiipond]

always longing for well-written poc in media but its dangerous actually forming any significant attachment to them because seeing the treatment they get from white fans has genuine negative effects on my mental health i fear

[scatterbrainedbot]

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH ZACH I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE (no cause the way I ran to my friends to show them these and proceeded to curl up on the floor while they laughed. IM INSANE OVER THEM QwQ <33333)

THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN, RAHHHHH

just doin' my job, ma'am

[firstroseofspring]

thinking pondering to me john torres is like. what if u met a woman. with confidence and dignity and a strong moral backbone. you meet and she makes a distinct impression with her honesty and her frankness and she seems like she's always sure of what she wants and what she needs and she's so different from anyone else you know and thats exciting and she's exciting and she likes you specifically you. and you don't think much of you but it feels good to be liked by someone like that. you love her of course. you marry her. of course!

[fetabathwater]

having the flu sucks. my time is consumed by sleep and watching 1 season shows that got cancelled with all the right hooks because some reviewers are stupid as HELL.

[deus-and-the-machina]

ngl the worst thing about the xenoblade fandom (which I think is the root cause of a lot of other issues) is that it’s mostly on twitter. I have to subject myself to twitter for any real consistent fan talk or content. legit there's always some new stupid topic of argument ive noticed in the past few weeks on there and its all very silly and frustrating and what im saying is everyone should move to Tumblr. please. for me. 

[nihiltism]

i am aware that i am talking into basically a void whenever i start metalposting but i once again am nudging my arch enemy greatest hits playlist to u guys. its So good i love music that sounds like the main singer kills wild deer with her teeth on her weekends off. its the epitome of oops all gutturals and its wonderful. just hit shuffle and get brainblasted. thanks i love you

[napping-sapphic]

do you know any lesbian labels that aren't based on masculine/feminine spectrum? like, my type is women who could kill me and usually that's femme but not like. floaty femme, and it's not the femininity that's appealing and plenty of butch or chapstick lesbians would fit that category too

and for my own self my presentation tends to be on both ends of the spectrum at once so i don't feel like any of the standard labels fit me and it's kind of isolating

Ahh, honestly I’m not too familiar with many of the sublabels so unfortunately I don’t think I know any that you’re looking for or haven’t already found😓

Idk if this will be helpful at all but i’ll say that in my case I usually just stick to the broad labels like lesbian since I also don’t fit with some of the connotations that come with some of the sublabels. I like the freedom to change things up and not be too attached to certain roles and such. I definitely get wanting those extra labels but the broader ones also have their benefits

If anyone more familiar with lesbian labels has any ideas please leave them in the notes for this person!

But otherwise I hope you don’t end up feeling too isolated!! Labels can get tricky especially when they start getting more specific as it can be harder to find the exact one you’re looking for. I think a lot of people are also looking for that type of thing and struggling with it so I hope you all find what you’re looking for soon and feel comfortable with it but in the meantime i hope you remember that no matter what label you use or how many labels you use you’ve still got the entire queer community on your side and rooting for you! Hang in there <3!!

[chryblossomjjk]

just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to write my first fic and even though it's not very good im sharing it with the world 🤍

stop because this made me so incredibly happy you have no idea-

also stop talking nonsense im positive its amazing >:'( let me know when you're posting and i would love to give it a read! wishing you the best luck friend <3

[softavasilva]

i wish i had presentation advice :( i personally solved this problem by getting so depressed i tried to o*f myself and then realized there are worse things in life. sadly even if this happens to you it may not work. i know too many people who aren’t afraid of death but are, in fact, afraid of presentations. rooting for you <3

jdjjeje bestie i was feeling very faint when i presented. shaky hands shaky breaths shaky voice like all of that. one thing i always try to keep in mind is that its not as worst as i make it seem. i have a very bad way of perceiving a situation to be the worst thing possible when in fact its actually just a minor thing. presentations are the worst though its hard to break through of that .

but in my case since it was students presenting their work i knew we all shared the same feeling of nervousness and anxiety and i bet you none of us actually paid attention to one another jfndj (i mean i wasnt paying attention before and after my turn so). the comfort of knowing the discomfort is shared between peers can actually be so motivating !!!!
