btw i'm sure this is nothing new on account of it having been well over 6 months by now since totk released and we had the no dlc bomb dropped. but i wasnt posting back then so idc ^_^

anyway the funniest thing about totk is no kass 100%. like. what happened to him. they dont even mention him by NAME and the only time hes ever even really mentioned is penn talking about him like this distant legendary figure and not like some guy who was playing his accordion in the woods. i hope amali divorced him

sorry i dont really like the shadow is silvers dad theory/headcanon/whatever and part of the reason for it is that people keep presenting it as an actual thing that could be possible even though it makes no sense and all "evidence" people use to back it up is easily disputed

Hey so Snap this is going to be so fucking weird, but honestly don’t care. So I was watching a clip of Drag Race Philippines and it was the make over episode and I think they were making over family members and this father was all about getting into drag. So, I just wanted to tell you never forget how much of a lovely loving kind and caring father you have, who loves you and protects you and makes you feel heard. That’s all.

i'd have to die before i forget how great my dad is thank you for the opportunity to brag about him again anon

Hey!! 2, 6, 24 for the ask game? <3

hi!! <3 thank u for the ask, these questions were so cute and fun!!

2. show us a picture of your handwriting?

i don’t want to jump scare anyone so i will be including a pic under the cut… prepare urself

6. what’s the best and worst part of being online/a creator?

hmmm. i would say the best (and sappiest) part is finding a community u rlly vibe with/just finding ur niche in general. and then not to be negative but i feel like people who are online too much get way too comfortable with being sorta mean. like sometimes i think im online too much and then i see someone hating a lil too hard and its like oh yeah no… im fine

24. what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?

writing-wise im so proud of completing the odesta longfic!! personal-wise… well… i recently developed a pretty fierce backbone B)

ok here is my handwriting reveal. i didn’t know what to write so obv i went w the name ive probably written more than my own (and by written i mean typed… just to be clear)

Re Ashton’s grammar, sometimes I think he might do it on purpose? Because it gets talked about and it ‘confirms’ that dumb ‘they didn’t finish hs and it shows’ (or in Ashton’s case, ‘he’s the only one who finished hs but it doesn’t show’) bias, that too many people in this fandom like to spew at every opportunity. Academics don’t define intelligence! I’ve worked with university educated people who knew every theoretical aspect but couldn’t apply their knowledge to the actual work place. And look at what 5SOS have achieved! I’m honestly impressed with how they moved to the UK and later the USA at such young ages, and made it work, though I absolutely credit their tight friendship for that too.

Anyway, in a way I can see Ashton being a little troll with his grammar mistakes, for the engagement those posts get, but like you I despise how he’s painted an idiot because of it. But then I despise how Ash is always the scapegoat when something goes ‘wrong’ in people’s minds, and that he’s always the one that people demand an apology from (though sometimes just because he’s most likely to respond). He already feels responsible for everything and everyone around him, please don’t add even more to it, and possibly add to his mental health struggles. Fuck, I’m yapping but I guess I just care too much about this guy

I completely agree that academics do not define intelligence and I recently wrote a paper in my multicultural psych class about how english grammar is such a gatekeeping factor in academia. the thing that really bothers me about the grammar thing is that people don't seem to understand Why someone would be making grammar mistakes. and it's not because they're stupid. it's just that they didn't have the opportunities that other people have had to learn. I see it a lot as someone who works at a college writing center. kids these days (after that fuckass No Child Left Behind Act) just get shoved through the system with very little specialized help.

i have tons of kids who come into my writing center who don't know the difference between there/their/they're or don't know how to use apostrophes or contractions, etc etc. I see pretty much everything in there. but these mistakes aren't because they're stupid; it's because they were pushed through a system that didn't care if they didn't know. and they're always just incredibly grateful when i point out the difference to them and give examples to help explain until they get it. and, honestly, the most fulfilling and also sad part of my job was this time that I explained they're/there/their to a freshman and he told me so sincerely, "Thank you for teaching me. No one's ever told me that before." and it just sort of hit me like a truck. like if u never had the chance to learn and then people are constantly ridiculing you for not knowing, it doesnt really make you want to learn, does it?? and who could blame you for that?? I'm sure people constantly poking fun at Ashton for his grammar doesn't make him want to correct himself either. and i'll also never get over the time one of my coworkers was bitching to me about a kid coming in who didn't know how to cite sources and she said to me "god, i just dont know why some of these kids are so stupid" and i felt my stomach sink. And any time that I see people calling Ashton dumb or pointing out his grammar use, I hear her voice now.

like there is not a single person in the world who is stupid. there are some people who are lazy and don't make effort to learn, sure !! but no one is stupid, they just haven't had the resources to learn and u ridiculing them for that doesn't make you smarter than them, it just makes u an asshole ESPECIALLY when you are in the privileged fucking position of teaching.

So, for me Ashton's bad grammar is now representing all of my writing center kids i care so much about and when i see people making fun of him, i see people making fun of them.

because, genuinely, people also need to consider that we learn grammar shit like that in 3rd grade y'know and then no one tries to teach it to you again. so if someone doesn't know that stuff by the time they're in adulthood, that means they weren't taught when they were a child and that's not funny, it's really sad and a genuine failing of our education systems.

like, Ashton was a kid in bumblefuck Australia who had an absent alcoholic mother, worked multiple jobs, and was responsible for his two younger siblings, I'm sorry if he wasn't paying close attention in 8 a.m. English??

but, to ur end point, i definitely think that ashton is often used as a scapegoat for fans' cruelty because he's online the most and the "easiest" to poke fun of. and it's disheartening for sure. especially as someone who loves him so much.
