if doctors looked for hypermobility in children you could give them appropriate physical therapy exercises from a young age as their muscles grow, orthotics to correct leg/foot placement, and where necessary additional support like professional k-tape application or other mobility aids before you obtain essentially permanent overtraining injuries from your poor muscles trying their best to stop you comedically collapsing into a pile of bones
but no it's just growing pains. kids don't have things wrong. it'll go away

I like how Nakamura looked at Misaki and was like:
"He's a complete and utter dork with nothing special about him...but he's constantly, effortlessly SWIMMING IN BITCHES. He is NEVER bitchless, and if Akihiko EVER broke up with him, Misaki has a LONG line of bitches waiting to take his place and EVERYONE WHO ISN'T MISAKI OR TODO IS SO MAD ABOUT IT."
Misaki: I don't WANT to have bitches, I just want my one bitch, Usa-
Nakamura: [putting a finger on his lips] SHH, SHH, stop talking.
Misaki: But-
Nakamura: Is that the sound of 'let's draw Misaki even more bitches before this story ends' I hear?

I am supposed to be watching the citadel arc so I can finally write the next chapter of In Every Possible Timeline (now you know why i've been putting it off. i've already put them through so much i'm not ready for the citadel) but all i can think about trying to watch it is how the narrative framing of Ahsoka showing up without permission pisses me off. like as a teacher.
because most of the time I can deal with the whole, this is a whole-ass fourteen year old thing. I grew up on books about child chosen ones and so on, I write a lot of that kind of thing in my original works, and frankly I think it's more interesting to explore the aftermath of such a story than wail and cry over how it never should have happened at all to this fictional character. Like. let's traumatise the made-up kids, it's good for the real kids to read as long as you talk about it the right ways. (I'm being blithe and simplistic here but if you want a ramble on what I mean just ask)
But the fact that in a universe where people's attempts at protecting kids from the dangerous shit around them generally amounts to "stay in the ship Anakin" to a child who has more than proven he could and would fly a ship on his own, this is the one circumstance where an adult makes a big deal and speech out of saying, "some things aren't for you. some things are too dangerous and it's my job to keep you safe" - and then it's all brushed off? Like Ahsoka's coming along without Anakin's permission is portrayed as a good thing and there's never any consequence to her presence there, we don't even get to see her regretting the emotional toll of all the losses which would be how I'd write it if I was going to. It's one thing to have a universe where kids doing shit that's wildly not what kids would do is just a matter of course. It's another to present an adult reasonably telling a child, "this is too much" (again. in that universe where "too much" is clearly a high bar) as being... foolish? Overprotective? If they want Anakin to seem overprotective they should have had him coddling Ahsoka way more, long before they got to the part where they infiltrated a hyper-deadly Jedi prison with no intel and no backup. like that's the most sensible thing Anakin Skywalker has ever done.

trying to decide what level of "no" to give to the fellow alum who just texted me asking me to donate to our college. ranges from "I can't donate, but good luck!" to "Sorry, can't afford to donate" to "[Name] I can't even pay my medical bills right now"

so I'm writing, right. I hit a bit of a pause in my story and I take a second to breathe and look at my fish (who loves to stare and flare up at me). My fish, who is very much getting on in years, is happily asleep on top of some of his plants. I watch as this little fucker rolls, in his sleep, right off his goddamn leaf. He made it halfway down the tank before he noticed, flared up at the leaf, and swam to hide under his log.
I have never laughed so hard at a fish. What the fuck.

Distant screams from Geos room
Cartoon cursing noises following a loud bang
Yelling devolves into crying sobs
So I limped to class today
