dustin moves to hawkins in 4th grade and him and mike bond at recess like, immediately. ofc he's close with the whole core four - not just mike - but here's the thing. mike wheeler is the type of kid to get his hands dirty and look for worms and bugs and toads at recess. will Does Not Like That because he doesn't like touching "slimy little creatures". lucas is okay with it. DUSTIN, however.

dustin is different.

when mike finds a hop toad in the field at recess the first day dustin is at school, dustin scurries over and explains - in detail - the species of toad, its mating habits, where it lives, and the "proper" way to catch more. and mike is absolutely GOBSMACKED. BAMBOOZLED. and, before he knows it, every recess him and dustin are digging for little creatures and naming them and going to the library to read books on them while will and lucas watch like. What Are These Children Doing. mike and dustin have an absolute BLAST but are soon forbidden from "creature catching" at recess after they find a toad, bring it into the classroom, and accidentally let it loose where it nearly climbs up their teacher's dress and causes her to scream so loud that the entire hallway thinks there's been a murder (both mike and dustin get a very stern call home after that. will and lucas are like. we told you so.) even so, they still like hunting for little creatures after that, and as a result now have an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge on obscure species of salamanders, newts, toads, etc.

Insanely validating to learn that the universal female Fall-Of-Rome experience is the Ex-Best-Friend

Okay so I didn’t remember that International Don’t Stab Your Best Friend Day was coming up until I was in the middle of a multi-day road trip, so here’s a comic I threw together in a huge rush while traveling in a moving vehicle and then took ages uploading on hotel wifi.

Transcription:

[Gurthang:] “Hey Túrin.” [Túrin:] “Yeah.” [Gurthang:] “I still can’t get over the fact that you literally murdered your best friend lol.” [Túrin:] “...” [Gurthang:] “Like how stupid do you have to be to do something like that, haha?” [Túrin:] “Oh yeah, you’re so right!  If only there had been someone there who could have said something!  A talking sword, for instance.” [Gurthang:] “Hey now, don’t pin this on me.” [Túrin:] “‘Dude stop, it’s just us, don’t freak out and stab anybody, even though it’s dark and you can’t see anything!’” [Elf 1:] “Is he okay?  Should we...do something about this?” [Elf 2:] “Absolutely not, I am not going near that situation.”

He will always be in my heart, [my] beloved friend..I. have lost everything."]

So, I met my nurse today and she said I'm finally getting scheduled for the ADHD testing on Dec 18th—after all these years. Albeit she said that it may not change a thing, but it's good to test it anyway.

I also had a discussion with my teacher today about my problems and we went through some stuff, and I might feel a little bit more enlightened about some things, which will hopefully help me.

Still. I'm having trouble with planning some stuff at my workplace because the staff there simply doesn't have time, and my instructor is also a very busy person (plus she's fussy and impatient and a little upset/disappointed with me which is not making it any easier for me), so that is still giving me a lot of stress right now.

So, I don't know. On the other hand, one teacher says I'm doing a good job and that I shouldn't quit. Then again, this particular school and their style of teaching simply might not be the thing for me and I expressed that concern today as well. I need help getting through with some stuff and nobody has time for me, so it's obviously not good.

I also need to find another place to train soon and that workplace would have to be something where I wouldn't have to manage 15 things at the same time and well. Finding that could be a challenge, too.

But. I suppose we're going somewhere.

i'm very :3 because the dark urge being fully customizable might be thanks to my very enthusiastic suggestion as a playtester.....I mean maybe other playtesters who came after me (my group was apparently the first to try the dark urge out, at least in gent, because the group before us didn't even know that origin existed) suggested it too, I don't know, but :3 even if I'm just one of the people who suggested it, I'm :3 because HELL YEAAAAH!!!!

I loved the dark urge so much (even though I couldn't finish my playthrough with them, since they were my second playthrough of the playtest) that i was like "this is too good, since they're not a companion origin story u guys need to make it possible to play them as any race not just the dragonborn variations"

AND THEY DIIIIID i'm so happy!!!!

btw in absolutely unsurprising news I fucked up the exam of that class I'm taking for the third time badly again.

in very surprising news, apparently Something happened, idk if the dean said something to the professor or I looked like a distressed broken down wet rat enough or he just doesn't want to see me in his class again or idk, maybe it's not good for him if someone fails his class three times, but he actually offered that I could do a written exam on friday instead? which. is extremely surprising. good, because it gives me another afternoon to study and I can draw and go back to questions on a written exam, even if I have to shuffle around the other exams and papers now, just. very surprising.
