#i rarely knew what was going on

[hyperfocuscentre]

me, every year in maths class when the teacher picks on me to answer a question because i’m very clearly not paying attention:

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Sally is the real neighborhood Rizzler... you all know i'm right...

[yardsards]

a tactic of abusive parents that i don't see brought up very often: convincing their victims that child protective services are evil and that foster parents would certainly be even more abusive than their current circumstances

Shaking everything like you don't understand I hate how 3H does not CARE about the people who the Agarthans took the place of !!! I hate that no one grieves for Arundel, Cornelia or Tomas !!! I hate that all that will be remembered of them is their desecrated corpses moved around like puppets and vomiting the worst shit known to man because the Agarthans do not care !!! Even the ones who do some sliver of effort to act in a similar manner to the ones they stole the identity for !!!!

Arundel was probably truly one of the rare person who cared for Edelgard and no one will know it because he's DEAD and THALES took his place !!!! This is fucking insane to me !!!!!!!

why do I not let them hang out more often honestly

people really need to get a grip. The pale blue eye is a book set in 1830s, why are you surprised that there’s misogyny in the film?

Ok I’ve thrown out a couple posts freaking out about Nandermo, but can we talk about how fucking funny it was when Nandor was showing one of his wives his coffin like “this is where the magic happens 😏” and then he immediately turns to the Djinn like “can I have that gold coin now?” and the Djinn nods sympathetically

I just had to share this video because holy shit, it hits the nail right on the head! So well spoken. This stuff needs to be circulated more, esp with the growing number of people thinking they have this because of misinformation, or just outright faking it.

besides just regular anxiety, which could totally be an explanation, perhaps it is the format in which you are being approached by these guys? you are at your job working after all, so I can imagine being caught off guard by anyone who is essentially a stranger asking you out romantically when you are in the mindset of taking someone's order lol. the surprise alone and the abruptness of it all would make it a lot easier to say no imo so I get it and don't think you're crazy. I'd be the same way to be honest.

maybe you'd be more comfortable if an acquaintance who you speak to regularly as your normal self, not in a customer-employee relationship, were to ask you out?

also, I've never used dating apps so don't take this last opinion too heavily if you don't want to, but one potentially good thing I can say about these apps is that you participate under the premise of seeking some sort of relationship with another human, so it can be less intimidating to approach or be approached in this setting because you and everyone else there are in a dating mindset, so you remove that issue of being approached romantically in non-romantic minded settings. obviously there can be other challenges with the apps, but at least there you would have a dedicated forum where you switch into "dating mode" or whatever lol.

for better or worse, I think these apps, along with our super-online culture, has made it rare and honestly unusual in today's society to be cold approached by a complete stranger in one's everyday life when you're just running errands or commuting or breathing air in public lol. I think most people don't do that anymore and it's a lot more acceptable to ask out people who are in your circle - people you see regularly on EQUAL footing, not this employee/customer dynamic. Ex: you both work together as coworkers and start hanging out sometimes after work, or you attend the same weekly club or activity with some cute person and begin to interact, stuff like that.

just some thoughts, I wish you luck <3

I definitely do think it’s at least partially the way they approach me, and like you said if it wasn’t so much an employee/customer dynamic I would probably be more likely to be into it. Like I don’t know these guys that have asked for my number in any way other than the brief interactions I have with them when I’m helping them in our drive thru. I feel like it would even maybe be a bit different if they were customers that came inside and stayed regularly because I do slightly feel like the relationship with those regular customers is different from drive thru customers.

And I think you’re into something with the dating apps being an equal kind of footing and making it potentially a bit easier.

I know that Loric culture wasn’t a huge focus, even on the world-building of the series, but it would’ve been cool to explore diaspora through the Garde who know so little about their home planet, and yet finding all these pieces of their history and presence on Earth that lasted for millennia and yet not having anyone around who knows exactly what this is or why the Loric put it there. The feeling that as a Loric they should know what exactly this is, because this is a part of their culture, a sign they existed here, but they don’t know anything about it and none of the other Garde can help, and the Cepans who may have had an idea of what this are dead now

This whole loss of identity that has you holding onto a thread and grasping at anything that can give you a better idea of where you come from, trying to connect back to your roots that were forcibly taken away from you, wishing you knew how to read your native language again and have someone to speak to with your native tongue, reforging your Loric identity after years of self-reflection and slow discovery, now with the comfort that you won’t let it be taken away from you again, and having an even greater reason to protect who’s left of your people and what’s left of your culture

Okay but it would be cool if that war Fukuchi received warning about actually happened. Like he received a warning and was scheming this whole mess of a situation to stop it but what if that exact plan of his is precisely what leads to the conflict? What if the warning was sent as a desperate hope that something would change, that he'd make a better plan... but no. It was always going to happen. There was no escape. Ever.

Pian Raaaaan ! Fox Sister is the best I swear. She is very provocative (as in stirs up shit) and doesn't hold back her words that much and she will playfight with Ye Xiwu but also she never belittles her ? She pokes fun at her but she always reminds her that things can happen and emotions are complicated and it's not your fault to have them and she's there to help her. I don't remember from the start of the series ever seeing Li Susu with a sister, only her brother, and I truly think Pian Ran is the best sister she could have gotten, especially for not having known her mother and there not being that many women in the environment she grew up in.

So much happened this week. (In tags I'll rant about it)

N4 is coming and my prep is not at all good. Took a test today and i failed🥲. But i know my prep is soo bad,it was bound to happen. So have to study for that.

College exams are coming🥹 also have to study for that. The dissertation proposal is in the finalising stage,so that's good. But have to work on it properly imo.

Then i also proposed another research study to my professor and he has encouraged me to go for it. So,also have to work on it.

These very cutu plants in the scorching heat were a treat to eyes and mind.

Got this book from the library and I'm really enjoying reading the essays.

( correction in a tag- she scored less than me in class and she was all sad sad. With her i had to suppress my happiness at moments like these)
