Why is hilson constantly trending and not gallavich

[afunn]

This is so true!!

I genuinely think Philomena Cunk interview questions are academically valuable in that 1. They force experts to consider ridiculous scenarios they never would have thought of having to deal with and 2. They test the ability of academics to explain their fields to laypeople and challenge the idea that “everybody knows xyz.” I think part of all higher level degree programs should involve having to get interviewed by Philomena Cunk

starbee comic,,, if u get the reference then u understand a pivotal part of how i see their dynamic

Bee x scream is like if that one rlly bubbly & makes herself seem ditzy and cute girl to everyone to have friends who'll dump her the moment they get a bf & she's probably on the spectrum but no one notices or cares to delve deeper into her bcs she's so 'cute' & smiles & masks to be liked ( bcs she doesnt want anyone to delve deeper into her personality & realize shes actually Not perfect miss lil daddys girl purity ring ) was forced to be stuck with The Bitchtm intimidating weird girl who's also undiagnosed but everyone knows there's Something with her & treated her differently in a way they Think is discreet but She Knows & no matter how hard she tries, everyone's gonna have this Undertone with her so she's just given up on trying to seem pleasant to everyone but still desperately wants to be loved & has a slight clue as to why ppl keep hating her even when she tries for them not to for once but still can't get an answer bcs her life sucks and diagnosis is expensive and she has no time and she's - omg why is this bitch (bee) making her notes all cute with big colorful fonts & organized by alphabetical shade marker collection haha she's so weird (<- is Also weird bcs hes starscream). im gonna ask to borrow one of her favorite markers (the baby blue one) and dry it out while she stares at me with big wet eyes trying to find a polite way to put 'im gonna kill you' in a sentence

[astroreoreoreoreoreoreoreo]

was joking to my girlfriend about a very elaborate scenario in which fugo would wear a shirt that reads "I taste as good as I look". The exact text is as follows

"A concept: fugo wearing a crop top that reads "I taste as good as I look" but it's laundry day (that's the only reason he's wearing it, it was a gag gift from Trish) and he looks like shit so it just looks like cannibalism deterrent" -Astro

I drew this to destress . Maybe I'll fix it up and make it into a proper drawing sometime. Not tonight tho

What's with the usersoandso lists underneath some posts and how do I get in the club

[ssprouttz]

So I made my friend watch jwcc and theyre on s3 right now so here are some of the highlights so far

We got onto a call as well and some of my favorites from that were

“‘we blew up a gondola together’ ARE YOU GAY?”

*me talking about how B canonically has two dads* “oh and does she also have two girlfriends? Yes she does!!”

And several instances of them trying to separate darius and ben and calling them mean names LMAO

i am losing my mind at the dogshit exposition in the DMC anime, they are gunning for the first spot in the "tell not show" competition and brother I think they secured the gold by ep 2

From a lady explaining how her weapon works to the demon she's about to kill, to then everyone gassing up the said lady like "yoo that's why she's the best, she's the most talented and special agent in our unit, she's the top dog and noone messes with her, that's why she's our leader" BRO I COULD TELL. I CAN TELL! SHE'S MANACINGLY STANDING IN THE DARKNESS CALLING THE SHOTS........... why this dialogue?? when she is standing in the room too?? EVERYONE IN THE ROOM KNOWS ALL OF THIS ALREADY

or in ep 5... by ep 5 we've met/seen plenty of evil demons. and the lady while exploring a building full of demon-civilians gets the lore dropped on her that "hell" is actually a world they call Makai. Big bad world with a lot of bad shit in it, the entire fanwiki opening paragraph, the whole 9 yards. And then 30 seconds later we have evil demons greet each other with "For Makai" and.

and it reads as if they are only now allowed to use the word, now that it's been explained to me the audience, and not a PEEP of it in the 5 eps prior. At least pepper in the big bad saying some shit like "Makai... you wont have to wait long" or anything so that for a goddamn second I the audience can even BEGIN to wonder

every single Chekov's gun in this show gets pulled out of a pocket, is IMMEDIATELLY demystified and explained with the urgency of an insecure 14 year old tweeting, and then promptly rapid-fired as if wielded by Dante himself

i love showing my partner the way phannies react to dnp doing anything because it’s endlessly funny to get an outside perspective. like yes it’s weird that we react to dnp doing anything with rage and terror but we’re having a good time i promise. the majority of us being mentally ill is completely unrelated i swear.

Now Andrew is only supposed to be roughly 2 years older than Leyley. So why is she so childlike? 

In decay part 1a she doesn't understand why ripping up homework isn't a valid solution to Andrew's problem of having no time to do it. Which is uh...

If we stretch things a bit, then she could be 5 while andrew is seven, having a birthday that puts her in school earlier, but thats assuming they start school at 6 years old. But as nemlei is finnish, there's a more interesting answer.

Finnish schools start at age 7. 

If we assume the graves were too broke to send Ashley to preschool, but were able to send Andrew since they had more support back then, then that means it's possible Leyley had no socialization outside her home and thus Andrew, until then.  (I doubt they would have seen much wrong with leaving her in front of the tv while no one was home for a few hours).

That means at 7 years old Leyley has no concept of consequences or how to interact with people outside of Andrew. She repeats everything she hears and isn't used to socializing enough to care when her chances to are taken away. Nor has Andrew ever had responsibilities bigger than her. 

Developmentally she's vastly behind her peers. Think three to four. Its no wonder she's so irresponsible in that flashback, she's never had a chance to know better. 

And depending on when they transitioned from grandpa graves house to their apartment that may be the cause of why she wasn't sent to preschool while Andrew was as 1: they may not have wanted the kids alone with him and 2: in Finland in the 1970s free or low income schooling was a rollout system depending on regions. Meaning it might not have been in the budget anymore. 

Especially as Mrs graves likes to pretend they are well off, she may have been saving up to put Andrew into /learning school/ and not just /people school/ at age 10. Only the former allowered for university education and not just tertiary schooling, but it cost money. This system was unfair and part of why the free education rollout 1970-77 was important. Also why Renee was so smug about having a degree/going to university, since learning school placements were very competitive, despite the fact they costed money.

Mrs graves would never let anyone go to their appartment and prove they were poor. So Ashley has only likely been to three places in her (social) life. The appartment, grandparents, and now school. 

So uh. Yeah. Turns out if you stick a kid in front of a tv for years with only another child to look after them they're a bit fucked up. Who knew!

Has kid Xelqua ever gone through a night terror? I would get them all the time when I was younger and my folks said that I usually didn’t recognize them at first when I woke up

Probably ! I've thought abt this before, but more so nightmares, I'm not sure how different night terrors are.

kid Xelqua still has vague feelings or emotions tied to his other forms on a subconscious level, so i imagine the nightmares are from that. Tho he is a kid, so he probably has pretty normal nightmares occasionally too.

Xelqua also shares a bed with Grian, i imagine during a nightmare, he'd just wake up and then get closer to Grian for comfort, in the case of a night terror--which i assume is worse, if you can't recognize people--he'd immediately try to get out of bed in a panic, so Grian would have to grab him and turn a light on while trying to calm him, not easy ! They sleep in a nest-like bed, so its not like he'd hurt himself falling out, but still !

Grian would just hold Xelqua and rub his back until he fully calms down, he's confused and tired. Grian would probably try to talk to him about it, but i don't think Xelqua would have much answer.

I think Grian would even try to talk to other versions of Xelqua about the nightmares, whenever they show up i mean, it can be quite the wait sometimes, and the saint isn't exactly open to deeper conversations.
