God my language classes annoy me so much. Both are such busy work yknow? I finished all my German assignments when they were due so that's fine, but it got so low effort by the end cause ik he doesn't really read them. But with Russian, I have a lot of unfinished work and I'm kinda tentatively doing it even tho the semester is over 😭😭 she's so lax and disorganized, so I have no idea what her grading will be like. It's like, will she just give me an obligatory 100(as was practice the prev classes) or like should I do these as assurance yknow 😭

i vaguely remember seeing a post about the woman on tiktok illegally digging a tunnel under her house to make a storm shelter, but i did not realise that 1) she has 0 qualifications and works in IT, 2) she got into her areas watertable and started pumping groundwater out into her yard, 3) when a fire broke out, she recorded herself putting it out with a fire extinguisher in one hand and her phone in the other, 4) she hit a radon gas bubble, 5) shes located somewhere with big sulphur pockets and as she got into the waterline, she might have produced sulphuric acid which leaks into the aquifer, aka she could be poisoning the local drinking water, 6) she lives on a CUL-DE-SAC, 7) shes just been releasing silica dust whilst not using respiratory gear herself, let alone warning her neighbours, and 8) her neighbours have said the ground would randomly shake sometimes but many of them felt they couldnt report it to local authorities for fear of deportation.

she has now been stopped and seems to think that since shes only tunneling under her property, itll be easy to get permits to continue. she also drives a tesla which... yeah, that sounds about right.

science fact of the day- planets!

generally speaking, planets come in two flavors: rocky and gaseous. rocky planets vary a good deal in size, and in the field of exoplanet research, they'll classified by either "super" or "sub" earths, depending on their mass (ie any planet smaller than earth, such as mars, is a sub-earth, while a rocky planet more massive, which we don't have in our solar system, is a super-earth.) right now, super earths are the most commonly observed type of rocky exoplanet, because of their greater size, but because there are none in our own solar system, we don't know a great deal about them. another way to classify rocky planets would be based on the internals- whether or not they have plate tectonics. Earth is the only planet that does right now, which is important because its possible tectonic movements are influential or even needed for life. generally, the masses of rocky planets ranges from about 10% of earth (roughly the mass of mars and mercury, the smallest known planets) to about 10 ish earth masses, at which point a planet would much more likely be an ice giant

ice giants are one of the two subclasses of gaseous planet. their mass is greater than 10 times that of earth, but im not sure what the upper bound is. the reason ice giants are great big gassy planets rather than rocky worlds with a mild to medium atmosphere is their mass, and an important factor which is the escape rate of gas. as sunlight hits a planet, photons from the sunlight randomly impart momentum onto atomspheric particles. sometimes, itll be enough for the particle to fly away from the planet, never to return. thus, atmospheres naturally become somewhat thinner over time. heavier molecules/atoms take much more energy to burn away, and so they tend to remain in atmospheres. this principle is why most moons don't have atmospheres- they don't have enough gravity to hold on to any particles at all- and why mercury doesn't- it's too hot, any particles just leave. but just because a planet can hold some gases doesn't mean it can hold all of them. crucially, helium and hydrogen are the most abundant elements in the universe- making up abotu 75% and 25% of all mass respectively. when the solar system formed, first, dense, rocky cores accreted. some of them remained small, and they became the rocky planets, while others continued to grow. if they grew to a certain point, they drew in more and more hydrogen and helium without it immediately leaving back into space, and so they quickly began to grow. however, some were limited because there simply wasn't as much hydrogen left. because hydrogen is so light, the pressure that the sun exerts on molecules through just light (called the solar wind) is enough to push them out of the solar system. by the time Neptune and Uranus were large enough to begin acreting hydrogen, there simply wasn't as much left because of this process, meaning they were stuck with 10-20 times the mass of earth.

but, if the planet was just a bit younger, then they could've kept growing. and growing. and growing and growing and growing and growing and by god that's a big fucking planet. gas giants are the most massive class of planets, ranging from a few dozen times the mass of earth to hundreds or even thousands of times it. one way to put jupiter's mass into perspective is this fact: image the mass comparison of earth and neptune- it's about 1 to 17. but when comparing neptune to jupiter, it's 1 to 19. jupiter is just that massive. gas giants are the lucky ones who grew earlier on, able to grab much more of that sweet sweet hydrogen before it evaporated into space. this is actually why saturn is smaller than jupiter- it's believed to have simply formed a bit later. gas giants do not have nearly as many ices or other chemicals as the ice giants, mostly because theres just so much more hydrogen. that said, if you ventured inside one, you'd likely find mostly the same- a thickening atmosphere with violent storms before you reach a supercritical ocean, which finally covers a small rocky core. one interesting fact abuot gas giants is that sccientists speculate that it rains diamonds on them- the tempratures and pressures are so high that natural carbon is pushed into becoming a diamond, which causes it to gain density and plumet down as a sharp, lethal downpour. we don't know for sure that it happens, but it's a safe bet.

this is like a lot longer than a normal one btw theyre not always this long

FANON SVETLANA. FROTHS AT THE MOUTH. can people please be for real for a Second. like mike shes actually kind of a bad person but cause shes a strong woman the mind of a total drama fan can only comprehend her being motherly. I think she should also be allowed to try and kill scott. shes equally as cool and awful as mike. if not more. in my dream post total drama au shes just worst because she deserves to be. I think vito is easily one of the funniest total drama characters hands down. everything about him even just in canon is fucking hilarious. the italian superstrength of course isn't realistic but it's the funniest thing to me. especially since most of the total drama fandom doesn't even question it hes just like that. he has a bunch of random skills nobody knows about. he probably doesnt either. anne marias car gets fucking wrecked like crumpled into a compact silver ball its shocking she made it out. he fixes it in 10 minutes with his hands and a plastic fork that survived the crash. hes completely and utterly stupid but only at common things to know. he cant do algebra but he can name every invasive insect species in history documented and otherwise. him and anne maria date for like a year after total drama but he leaves her for cars and men. he tries to help cameron work out once and it goes horribly wrong cameron gets hurt in ways nobodies ever been hurt before. doctors scientists priests etc are all dumbfounded. same thing happens when he brings cameron to literally just sit and watch him work at the mechanics. nobody even knows how he got hurt he just did. camerons not allowed within 50 feet of something metal anymore cause itll get him violently injured in a way that defies all science and god. anne maria is also underrated and so fucking funny. she records it every single time mike and scott fight. she encourages it. she bets at least ten dollars on mike. i think jomaria is so real but in ways nobody else understands. they show up to the Scike Fights together those are dates to them. svetmaria as well but in an awful gritty girlfailure way. my person headcanon(??) is that the reset button was completely made up. mike wanted off the show and it was the only way to get chris to leave them alone. once he was off the show he became so much cooler. but stereotypical cool bully kid in a movie kind of cool(think like... leather jacket) and nobody has the heart(and healthcare) to tell him that it doesn't actually look cool. most of his shirts are stained with Scott Blood. he acts like the type of guy to smoke but he tried it once and almost died. coughed and choked for at least an hour. the same with drinking he acts like he does but he needs emotional support to take a shot. when he actually gets drunk(after crying and gagging 10 times) hes just stupid and pathetic. he learns how to speak up for himself and he gets into fights but hes a loser boyfailure at heart. he rants to brick about a stupid pirated movie hes been watching while he washes the Scott Blood out from under his nails. he is the crywank and mccafferty boy ever but not in a sad way. just in a way you have to understand. Grave Dog

I have a lot of thoughts about the treatment of women in total drama. I'll probably make a whole post about it but it's actually kinda sickening that so many fans still treat women the way they do. fanon Svetlana is my 13th reason I stg. she should be worse. she should be strangling people. she should be biting and clawing and kicking. I love her. she deserves it.

Vito is literally the funniest total drama character I think. his entire existence is so funny to me. the Italian superstrength is an extra funny concept because the fandom doesn't question it, but also the contestants don't either. they all just accept that sometimes Vito can do stuff. randomly. he knows how to make like every poison ever and also he cannot fucking count. the car crash concept is so funny to me too. she brings it to him and it's fucking destroyed and they all look away and he's already fixed it. he does leave her for cars and men. he gives me grease (1978) energy but if grease was a little bit more faggoty and rocky horror picture show (1975). the Cameron concept made me burst out laughing. literally fucking incredible. Cameron gets hit by a car family-guy Brian-fucking-dies style while Vito is driving his dumbass convertible that's made out of cardboard, mod podge, and a tin can.

I also think that Manitoba smith is hilarious to me. it might just be the Australian in me but he means everything to me. he's canonically married? noone talks about that? he mentions his wife? when what who where why? and also I think he knows a lot about genuine Australian culture that noone should know unless they've been to Australia. he has literally never left Canada but he knows everything. he says "I'mgunna run down to wollies to snag lamingtons n a Bundaberg, wunna want?" and everyone stares at him like he's fucking insane. he warns everyone of dropbears. he calls them Zooper doopers. literally noone knows where he got this from.

I agree that the reset button was the only way to get Chris to leave him alone. noone wanted to get brought back so they decided that they would just. lie. and get off of the show. Chris didn't know it was fake he did literally no research whatsoever. chef knew it was fake but he didn't say anything because he understood the want to get off the show.

Anne Maria is soooo underrated it's insane. her elimination was actually iconic. even tho it's a fake diamond she could still sell it for a pretty decent price. it's a massive fucking jewel she could still scam someone with it. it's amazing actually. she means everything to me. jomaria so real they watch mike beat the shit out of Scott. Anne Maria is running bets and jo is charging admission to watch. they make so much money. also I believe in jo/Anne Maria/Svetlana. they beat up scott together. I love them.

mike is such a poser he's literally amazing. his shirts are all stained with blood (mainly Scott's) but if he ever tried to drink vodka he would shrivel up and die. he is the lightest weight ever. brick is holding his hair back while he's vomiting and threatening Scott (who hasn't been there for 10 minutes) after he took a singular shot. he is literally the worst and my personal favourite. Jo helps him wash blood out of his jeans while he's gossiping with Anne maria. I completely understand the McCafferty and crywank guy he's also the front bottoms and modern baseball. you're so real always

[absolutelybifurious]

this is random but a fandom pandemic i dont see talked about enough that i find interesting is the like tonal difference between eddie pov vs buck pov in fics cause with eddie pov he’ll be doing his self deprecating/repression thing and you’ll just be nodding your head like yes yes exactly because you can tell the author really Gets eddie and you trust them to get him through to the other side safely whereas sometimes with buck pov itll be fine and then randomly it’ll get to a part where itll make me pause and squint cause ill just know ive stumbled into reading Woobified Buck anyway long story short let’s just say i ctrl+f the word “exhausting” in every buck pov fic before i decide to read lol

this is interesting, but i'm ngl you picked the right person because i love thinking about patterns in writing. i think with the buck thing its just because he is the favorite and since fic is for the writer, theres a lot of projection in it in general - and there's a looottt of self projection onto buck which results in really like... varied characterization of his pov.

its just interesting because i have such distinct interpretations of these characters and sometimes i'll read a fic and it's just Not At All how i see the characters, which like, they prob feel the same about MY fics, but yeah. at the end of the day, you're allowed to interpret things however you see fit, i guess.

but, god, the woobified buck is like, yeah. that's just. this fandom has such a problem with it. the show def makes him out to be the lil puppy of the squad where everyone kinda babies him, too, tho so it's not even completely fanon. like i think it's reasonable and a valid dynamic in the show, but buck def gets special baby boy treatment from bobby and even hen sometimes. and when people start villainizing eddie for rightfully calling that man exhausting - i start to come unglued.

and these will be the same people who call eddie dramatic for falling down when buck almost broke his ankle. so. we won't go there. if we go there, i simply won't stop.

OK done the journey there just jotting down some thoughts so I don't forget omw back:

took me abt an hour all in all bc I was keeping track of directions and going at a v leisurely pace (~8mph). could easily do it in 40 mins or less I reckon

moderate hills esp towards the end of the route but nothing too intense, I'm just out of practice cycling. didnt have to stop at any point tho and I reckon after a couple passes I won't even feel them at all. one longish mild downward slope which was fun to go fast on but might be a pain on the way back

generally rly nice route, much easier than I expected. there's a national cycle trail parallel for the vast majority of it which was semi-busy today as its a sunday but I imagine there'll be far less pedestrians at the times I'd be travelling on weekdays + any cyclists would also be commuting so I won't have to slow down as often.

nice view + smells like wild garlic atm :-)

99% paved which suits me. would be fine if there were some rougher sections bc I have a hybrid/touring bike but honestly I dont rly like cycling off road lol

one confusing junction where I had to come off the cycle trail... I think a diversion for road works (?) it's fine bc the road it connects onto is my old bus route so I'm v familiar w it already + there are bike lanes so it's v safe for cyclists. I'm gonna try and skip straight to the cycle trail on the way back tho just bc navigating traffic is a pain sometimes and breaks my flow. looking at the map it seems to pass really close to my work so I'll just follow it and see if my satnav tries to redirect me again

not feeling any muscle tiredness yet but we'll see how the way back goes and how i feel tmr. when I start cycling to work for real I'll just do it 2-3 days a week until I'm confident I can do it daily. itll be weather dependent anyway, today is gorg but it loves to randomly rain here and I don't have the right kind of brakes for bad weather.. also would be great bc my dr wants me exercising an hour a day which isn't feasible w my routine currently but itd tick that box

need to get cycling gloves + proper cycling shorts. not necessarily w padding but it wouldn't hurt if I'm gonna be doing it often.. didnt get crazy sweaty but that might change w a backpack on + I'll need a change of clothes for work regardless bc I don't wanna get grease stains on my work trousers lol. I think my work has showers but only for the production lab(?) I'll ask my manager if she knows whether im allowed to use them. I could get away without it but it'd be nice to have the option...

all in all successful experiment 👍 taken a 45 min break to chill + have a snack now its time for pt2: going home yayyy

If you want to, could you do some headcannons about Elliot with an artistic reader (gender-neutral)? Like they often spend time in the library sketching or reading books about art history.

Okidoki

the thing is, I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM. and i dont have him either so itll be harder... anyways ill try ms best!

~~Elliot With An Artistic SO~~

So basically after browsing trough the internet to find some info about this man, i found basically nothing only some voicelines

and from that i got that hes knowledge hungry? well kinda

and since he prefers to be alone it would be hard to get close to him

but once he found you painting! And he became interested

randomly at first you guys would just stare at each other while one reads the other one paints.

after a few time you decided to break the silence and began talking

you guys quickly became good friends

he tolerated you enough to not tell you to fuck off while hes in the library (Im sorry-)

after sometime you guys became a couple. yeah.

i headcanon that he wants to know how to paint, but dosent have the guts to ask you, so he just drops hints

once you actually pick up on them, or if youre oblivious he would tell you that he wants to learn

when you start to teach him hes actually pretty good at painting, which did suprise you

He makes both of you tea when you guys hangout in the library

sometimes hell read you a book, but you have to pester him for that, and he wont give in easily

you ADORE art history, so hell let you ramble to him, he dosent mind, he finds it cute

if you want to read but dont know what to read, hell give you reccomendations(?)

you guys analyze books and ramble to eachother in the library, it passes time really fast, sou guys didnt even notice it was 2am when you guys finished, the thing is you guys started at 1pm...

im sorry that this is super messy, i know literally nothing about him, the wiki didnt help either. 😭

[chronic-gastro-illness-culture]

not anything too serious,

my symptoms always get worse with stress, and when i’m about to go somewhere and have even the slightest symptom i get stressed about it happening while i’m out which then makes it worse, cycle repeats. recently this has led me to leave/cancel plans suddenly because i feel terrible and i panic about feeling awful while out and i’m worried my friends are starting to to resent me or that they will in the future

i never know if i should add in to these or if ppl just like talking into void but i thought id give u an affirmation n say i do think is p srs n that its the reality of chronic illness

stress is the #1 factor for all digestive disorders n most other chronic illness n stressing abt having a flare up at the wrong time is a part of chronic illness n it rlly sux bc it is like a self fulfilling prophecy n ppl do see it as a moral failing on the chronically ill persons behalf bc “well why do u have to be anxious abt it itll be fine” like its some sort of switch u can just turn off n on in ur mind

also ppl r a communal species n its nice having a support group n when ur going thru chronic stress n that chronic stress makes u sick n u develop a chronic illness if ur ppl start to leave u that can makes things worse bc now ur left to deal w all that stress on ur own which compounds the problem

but just bc ur worried abt ur support system leaving doesnt mean they will some ppl can be supportive n understanding

it can rlly suck to cancel plans bc it feels like the chronic illness is robbing u of ur life n enjoyment but just bc ur having a bad moment or bad episode doesnt mean thinks will be bad forever

one thing u can do is let ur friends know u appreciate them supporting u n being understanding of what ur going thru another thing u can do it make new plans if i have to cancel smth w friends sometimes we just change what we were gonna do if im feeling too bad to go out n am worried abt needing a bathroom randomly i usually invite them over to my place n we just chill in to make it up to them if they have a movie or show theyve been wanting me to watch ill watch it w them then lol but u might find ur friends r rlly supportive n thatll be less stress for u

it also helps making friends who also deal w similar issues i have a coworker friend who has lactose intolerance n ibs one friend also has gerd n one doesnt have a diagnosed stomach disorder but he has an anxiety disorder n his digestive system definitely is effected but we can all vent to each other n understand if someone needs to cancel or change plans or needs accommodations etc etc

thnx for ur ask btw i rambled a lot hahaha but u brought up important stuff abt chronic illness imho
