i remember in 6th grade, my middle school had us go on a field trip where we pretend lived as adults with jobs and car insurance in a little town to teach us more about the adult world and i was so unhappy with the job they assigned to me that i went on to never get a fucking job how cool is that

For that Hermit Permit uquiz I think I channeled all my teenage-self's frustration from my first attempt at getting my learner's permit where I failed the test because of a question that went like "When driving behind another vehicle in town, what is a safe distance to keep between the vehicles?" and the answers were like A) 20 feet, B) 3 car lengths, C) 30 feet, D) a safe distance
want to guess what the correct answer was?? take a wild guess at which one it was

just out of curiosity for my own sake, when you take quizzes for your characters / when you're writing, do you tend to do it from your own (writer's) pov looking at a character from the outside and studying them, or do you tend to "embody" the character and choose answers / write as if you physically were the character ?

not to throw my hat in the ring with the 2080238403948th goth music discourse post but it's annoying how the argument keeps crossing my dash flattened of all actual nuance lmao
[ i'm giving you a Read More cuz i'm generous ]
you do have to listen to goth music to be goth, yes. but also no. if you were born between 1982 and 1995 there is a strong chance that in your neck of the woods, generic Mallgoth™️ (a fashion which incorporated aspects of metal, skater, hip-hop, fetish, and rave clothing/style into The Look) (a culture which was built around ALL heavy music of the period regardless of hard-and-fast genre demarcations through the brilliance of corporatism & the need for ease in marketing to the largest possible swath of a niche population) (which is a separate & distinct thing from GOTH-goth---y'know, people who go to goth nights & goth clubs & dress more tradgoth/deathrocky) was the predominate or ONLY alternative culture you grew up around, and because Mallgoth™️ was/is such a conglomerate type thing, there's no doubt you probably listen to a few Goth Bands at least casually but there's a much higher chance you also listen to a lot more metal, industrial, etc. cuz that's what was being pushed & marketed to METEORIC success as part of this corporate-driven culture.
does that make you any less goth? no, not really. the fascinating, terminally-online thing abt this whole discourse is it's clear how many of you motherfuckers here on tumblr dot edu do not go outside, because if you spent two weeks walking around Out In The World it would be really easy to tell Who's Goth And Who's Not, cuz you're either gonna get trash hurled at you from passing cars and people screaming shit about your genitals at you and other people trying to pray over you in public and other other people trying to pull their kids away from you or refusing to speak to you or even acknowledge your existence, or you're gonna get asked by timid nine-year-olds if you're emo.
bracket A is goth. bracket B is probably more-than-likely not. i don't give a shit what's on your playlist cuz "goth" is functionally a much more culturally-expansive label than this one small slice of specific bands & nobody gives a fuck about this except people who have too much time to argue with each other online and the current state of The Discourse™️ erases this cultural and developmental context as if the culture operates in a factory-sealed vacuum and never intersects with either capitalism or the hell that is other people. how about you go get among some bitches maybe

I just did a stupid buzzfeed quiz where you had to tick off shit on a list of "adult things" You know how to do.
It was basic every day shit, nothing major. Changing light bulbs, doing cpr, holding a baby - that sort of shit.
I had disadvantage on some of the questions, since I can not drive a car, do not know anything about cars, and I'm not from the US.
And yet, according to them, I ticked off more than 75% of the people who took that quiz.
Excuse me? Americans, are you okay? What the fuck. Do you need a hug or anything?
