omg I’m applying to law schools this year and I’m so scared of the bar. where did you go to school and do you recommend it??
1. a fancy T-14 law school (don’t ask me why. even I don’t know)
2. as a wise CW Network parody song once said:

what are bradley’s earliest memories of ice and mav? the bits of his perspective on them that you’ve written are so fascinating
fairly unsurprising answer but: ice: when he came to see Carole to apologize for killing goose in ch 2 of wwgattai (sets the tone of their relationship)
mav: something very benign like mav doing magic tricks for him as a little little kid. you know how your earliest memories are always a little fuzzy and always afternoon sunshine? imagine a desaturated maverick sitting crosslegged in the grass in pale afternoon southern california sunshine showing Bradley how he can detach his thumb from his hand and then put it back again. no blood, no bone, no pain, and he’s got this daredevil grin like he’s enjoying separating his thumb from his hand. can’t see his eyes behind his aviators. the best magicians are the ones who can make even their pain disappear. or, playing “got your nose,” holding Bradley’s nose up so he can see it right in front of his very eyes, NO PAIN!, and then making it disappear. “where’d your nose go, Gosling? oh, my gosh, I lost your nose!! how’re you gonna smell? i bet you’re gonna smell bad. get it? get it? —here it is, i found it, don’t worry, it’s all good!” and putting his nose back so everything’s ok. that’s Bradley’s earliest memory of mav.

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

As someone who grew up on a farm in a shitty small rural town i cant help but laugh when city queers dream of moving to the country side
Not only do they underestimate how openly judgmental and queerphobic people are out here (everyone is in everyone's business), (I've been called slurs from pickup trucks full of hicks driving by)
but city people rarely understand what they're getting into by moving to the middle of no where
Stores close at 5 and on Sundays and holidays, there is 1 Walmart within half an hour drive and it will never have the specific thing you're looking for, a lot of roads aren't paved (i can spot someone who's never driven on a gravel road from a mile away), the weather is more intense and the clean up from storms takes longer, you will probably lose power at least once a year, the internet is shitty, there is no public transit, all of the franchises are run by like 3 high schoolers (2 of which are stoned) so don't expect quality, There is nothing fun to do around here, there's also just a lot of resources that aren't available
I get that cottage core is a popular aesthetic in queer culture, but living in a rural area is not an aesthetic

I am trying so fucking hard to be excited for Dynamite, with some of my favorite wrestlers and big moments on the way, but I can't stop thinking about how I've only heard from about a third of my students from last year and how two of my friends have trees through their homes.
I'm volunteering with my union on Friday to pass out food and resources, but, now that the threat is gone, the aftermath (and I know this from Harvey and Imelda) is what's hardest for the kids. They have now encountered another adverse childhood experience, and it takes a lot of work to come back from one, let alone the many water related ones they've already survived.
I don't know why I'm saying all this. All I can say is we in the Houston area would greatly appreciate support and good vibes.

i'm generally very skeptical of self-diagnosis/using webmd and the like to interpret symptomatology, but given the cesspool of medical info on the internet i understand why people fall down self-diagnosis and/or weird new age wellness rabbit holes so easily. like i had more or less pathological (i.e. daily) sensations of déjà rêvé (déjà vu sensation but applied from dreams to real life situations) in high school and according to the internet it's one of the following conditions: 1. temporal lobe epilepsy, 2. a completely benign indicator of good spatial memory, or 3. a curse derived from ancestral knowledge pools. i'm fairly certain i don't have epilepsy because ive never had a seizure in my life, and i don't believe in curses so i have to assume it's the second thing combined with my preexisting psychologic conditions - but those shouldn't be the most widely publicized diagnoses!! the two extremes of psychiatric raison d'être if you will shouldn't be fighting for dominion over the front page of google. psychiatry as a field is not without its faults and new age psychology is a whole nother can of worms, but people (especially people under duress/experiencing new and unfamiliar symptoms) shouldn't have to wade through eighty-nine line-items of sponsored content that are either poorly-vetted fearmongering or just straight up pseudoscience
