Correcting the experimental designs for my class and one student is writing that plants will be watered "ass needed". She wrote this multiple times. Also mixed up "off" and "of". Native English speaker.

....anyway, I am once again wondering how some of these students got into college.

fwiw i think before anyone gets defensive it's important to know that whoever messaged erik did so respectfully and they shouldn't be antagonized for voicing their opinion as someone who is (presumably) paying for patreon. there's a reason patreon allows patrons to message creators directly

I ate a bagel instead of pasta because less steps.

I want to play the game so so so so sooo bad. The character I chose is making me mad, but I am interested in the story and I want to see how everyone develops and also I want to throw a rock at him and then make him better and make the main character healthier, too. AKA I'm mad, but the fun kind of mad.

But instead of playing, I am going to go to bed soon because I'm exhausted and I know the moment I hit my blankets, my brain will be out. I will not fall asleep easily, but I will be -100 energy.

I'm working on a Mage Viktor headcanon where the markings we see on him in his first appearance in episode 2 are drawn on (like hex-henna or something) and the runes and patterns correspond with specific coordinates for timelines and possibilities.

The appearances he has without the markings are some of his earlier attempts, where he hasn't fine tuned the magic and rune patterns. Simply following the calls for help across the timelines, making note of the lines he has already touched with an instinctual knowing.

The World Ends With You Crawl

By: Preathea

I made this a couple of years ago and have been using it myself, and if you can find the time to do it for a full week, I’ve found it to be pretty helpful to bulk up word count. I’m planning on starting tomorrow.

(The World Ends With You is a video game from Square Enix. An anime adaption came out this year as well as the sequel. This crawl is based on the OG game as I haven’t had a chance to pick up the new one.)

The Game – A TWEWY crawl

Day 1 You’ve woken up and realized most of the people around you can’t see you. You see some people around that look just as lost as you. The longer you are awake, the more you remember. Sprint 150 words to remember what is going on.

You remember that you died, and you have chosen to participate in a game that could possibly bring you back to life. You also remember what you gave up as your entry fee that you desperately want to get back. If you gave up a memory/series of memories, write for 15 minutes nonstop, trying to remember what memory you don’t remember. If you gave up a relationship, participate in the Three Digit Challenge to establish a new connection. If you gave up something material (appearance/object/etc), sprint 250 words in frustration. If you gave up a feeling, roll a d8 and multiply the result by 2 and write for that long without stopping trying not to feel a hole in your heart.

After realizing what your entry fee was, you feel a stinging in your hand and your phone chimes. “Find a partner and travel to your goal.” You look around desperately, remembering that you can’t survive the week without a partner. Participate in a 15 minute word war to find your perfect partner.

With your partner by your side, you find yourselves surrounded by noise, creatures that target players in the game, you must defeat them to make it to your goal. Sprint to the nearest 1000 to defeat the noise.

At your final destination, you encounter a reaper who smirks and threatens you with more noise than you can handle. There is another team nearby. If you choose to handle the noise on your own, complete a Fifty Headed Hydra to defeat these stronger noise. (If you don’t complete the fifty-headed Hydra, you must be rescued by the other team, write an extra 200 words.) If you choose to let the other team handle the noise, sprint 500 words to dodge attacks sent your way. If you choose to team up with the other team and defeat the noise together, write for twenty minutes as you learn to fight in tandem with another team.

Finally, the reaper leaves, and you realize that the first day is over. Reward yourself for surviving your first day of The Game.

Day 2

You wake up on the second day and scramble to remember what happened the day before. Write 100 words to try to convince yourself that this is real.

After realizing that everything that happened the day before was real, you must relocate your partner from the day before. Sprint for five minutes to locate your partner.

Finding your partner, you both feel a pain in your hand and your phones go off with a new mission. You both attempt to solve the riddle. Attempt a fifty headed Hydra. If you manage it, you solved the riddle, skip the next step. If you did not complete it, your partner solved the riddle.

Your partner leads you to the target area, but you are pursued by noise along the way. Write 250 words to disperse the noise.

You arrive at the target location and are immediately surrounded by noise. There are so many that you are afraid that you may not survive this time. Head over to FightBlock (Fighter's Block! 3) and write 500 words before the noise defeat you. If you don’t win, write an extra 150 words to survive.

Somehow, you defeat the noise with the help of your partner, but as you take out the last one, a roar sounds behind you. A boss charges towards you. Participate in a five minute word war to ensure you and your partner dodge!

You get out of the way of the attack, and struggle to your feet to fight the boss. Another duo charges forward, past you and your partner. If you charge forward in an attempt to defeat the monster first, roll a d10 and multiply the result by 100. Write that many words in order to win. If you allow the new duo to claim the boss, sprint for fifteen minutes in order to check on your partner and make sure they are safe. If you choose to fight alongside the duo, complete a three digit challenge to work on your teamwork.

Once the boss is defeated, the new duo turns to you and introduces themselves. Write 250 words to impress the newcomers. The day ends, and you hope that you can survive Day 3. Reward yourself for completing day 2 of The Game.

Day 3

You wake again, and your partner is nearby. Write for 10 minutes to regain your energy.

You notice that you are not immediately given a mission upon waking up. Write 150 words to try and figure out what changed.

As you look around, you notice that it is not just you and your partner in this area, but that the duo that helped you the day before is there. Participate in a 15 minute word war to prove you are the better team.

After talking with them, the familiar pain shoots through your hand, and your phone buzzes. Write 350 words on FightBlock before the monster kills you in order to decipher the puzzle. If you are successful, skip the next step.

The other team deciphers the puzzle first, and you fall in behind them to your goal for the day. Noise attack you from behind. Write 100 words to defeat them.

You arrive at the goal, and as you expected, noise are awaiting you. If you charge in ahead of the other team to defeat the noise, attempt a fifty-headed hydra. If you fail, write an extra 150 words as the other team saves you. If you allow the other team to face the noise first, complete a three digit challenge to provide support. If you fight alongside the other team, roll a d6 and multiply by two. Sprint for that long to take care of the noise as a team.

The noise were easier than expected, and you all recover before a reaper reveals themselves before you. Their attack comes suddenly. Sprint for five minutes to dodge the attack!

The reaper leers at you and spouts some nonsense about points. You know you have to beat them to survive the day. Attempt a fifty-headed hydra to defeat the reaper. If you succeed skip the next step.

The reaper proves too strong for you, and you must back off and formulate a new plan. Write 200 words to come up with a plan and use it to defeat the reaper.

With the reaper defeated, you expect the day to come to an end, only a boss noise shows up just as you start to relax. They aim their first attack at your partner who hasn’t noticed them. If you attempt to get your partner’s attention, sprint for 5 minutes to alert them to the danger. If you simply head off the attack, write 150 words to intercept it. If you are frozen in place, roll a d4 and multiply the result by 100, write that many words to pray that they notice before it’s too late. If you simply don’t care, sprint for 8 minutes as you create a plan to defeat the noise on your own.

Your partner manages to get out of the way of the attack just in time. Write 300 words to defeat the noise. Write an extra 100 words if you have to reformulate your plan to include your partner.

The day is done, and you are relieved that you have only four days left to survive. Reward yourself for surviving another day of The Game.

Day 4

You wake up once more, and your hand stings with a familiar pain. You take out your phone and glance at the Day’s mission. Write 150 words to figure out the mission

The mission for the day appears to be in parts. Part one: Locate your partner. You’ve learned about your partner, so you know exactly where to go look for them. If you go look for them where they would be found, sprint for 10 minutes to try and find them. If you go look for them where you would be found, complete a three digit challenge. If you don’t look for them, write 350 words as you leisurely walk around waiting for them to find you. You find each other, and your phone buzzes again alerting you to the next step of the mission. Write for another five minutes to decipher the second step. Write an extra 150 words if you did not search for your partner to ignore their scolding.

The second step involves defeating noise, as you could have predicted. Sprint to the nearest 1000 words to defeat the required noise.

You defeat the noise and you phone sounds again, sending you off to meet up with the other duo that you’ve been teaming up with lately. This next step requires you to cooperate to solve a puzzle left by the Game Master. If you attempt to solve the puzzle on your own, attempt a fifty-headed hydra. If you do not complete it, write an extra 200 words as the other duo solves it for you. If you let the others solve it without your input, write for 20 minutes to amuse yourself with something else. If you cooperate as per the instructions, complete a three digit challenge.

The puzzle is easier with more heads, and you finally solve it and are delivered the last instruction. Fight the duo with you. Only one pair makes it. Your partner protests that there has to be another way. If you fight them, write 400 words on FightBlocker. If you lose, write an extra 100 words and skip the following step. If you refuse to fight them, sprint for 15 minutes to try to come up with a plan and skip the following step. If you let the others decide, complete a three digit challenge and the following step.

The other scramble for a plan, but one of them jumps straight in to attack your partner. If you defend them, sprint for five minutes. If you do not defend them, write 250 words. Everyone is tense and you realize with a reaper closing in to erase you, that you have no choice. You have to fight. Attempt a fifty headed hyrda. If you complete it, you win. If you don’t, you lose.

If you win, you strike down the other team and walk away, your partner trailing behind in shame. Write 100 words to convince them that you have to continue on.

If you lose, you are struck down by the other team and watch as they walk away without a word. Write 100 words to convince yourself that you have to keep trying.

The reaper jumps in to erase the defeated team, cackling. If you fight back, attempt a fifty-headed hydra. If you fail, write another 200 words to keep trying. If you yell for help, complete a three digit challenge. If you do nothing, sprint for 15 minutes.

The reaper is somehow fought off and you all survive another day. You’re not sure who is the winner this time. Reward yourself for a successful (?) day 4 of The Game.

Day 5

You wake the next day and are immediately attacked by noise. Your partner is not with you. Write 200 words to run away since you cannot fight Noise alone.

You manage to scramble away and you search desperately for your partner. Sprint for 15 minutes to attempt to locate them.

Instead of your partner, you find one half of the duo you were supposed to defeat the day before. Your hand stings, and your phone receives the mission for the day. Before you can check it, you are attacked once more. If you try to fight them alone, write 250 words to survive. If you try to run, sprint for 10 minutes. If you attempt to fight them alongside the other player, complete a three digit challenge.

You find that it is possible to team up with another player now that you cannot locate your partner. Write 250 words to defeat the noise.

You defeat the noise and finally open the mission. Write 350 words on FightBlock. If you lose, write another 150 words to solve the riddle.

You solve the riddle and realize that you both have only one hour to find your partners or they will be erased. But the clues for where they are being kept are different. You realize that they must be in different places. If you argue for looking for your partner first, sprint for 15 minutes to try to convince the other to do so. If you agree to look for their partner first, complete a three digit challenge. Regardless of who you search for, you stumble upon your partner, and must defeat a boss noise to rescue them. To attempt to rescue them immediately, attempt a fifty-headed hydra, if you do, they are rescued, skip the next step. If you are not successful, proceed to the next step. You are unable to defeat the boss monster, but your temporary partner convinces you to keep trying. Write another 200 words to try again. Your partner is rescued, and you proceed to follow the other clues to find the other missing partner. Participate in a 15 minute word war to decipher the clues.

You find them, with only fifteen minutes left to rescue them. Only of two of you can fight the noise. If you choose to fight with your own partner, complete a three digit challenge. If you choose to fight with the other partner, write 250 words. If you choose to not fight, sprint for 10 minutes. The boss noise is defeated with only a few minutes to spare. With all four of you safe, the day comes to an end. Reward yourself for surviving the fifth day of The Game.

Day 6

You wake the next day feeling tired. You know there’s only two days left, but you just want this to be over. Write 150 words to find motivation to go on. You struggle to go through with the day, though you find your partner easily. Your hands sting, and your phones ring. You resignedly check them. Sprint for 10 minutes to decipher the clues. The mission that day is an easy one: Defeat a boss noise at a specific location, but noise dog your steps the whole way. Spring to the nearest 1000 words to defeat all the noise standing in your way. The boss noise awaits you and you stumble forward to fight it. Your partner holds you back, as the other team you are acquainted with are already fighting it. If you decide to jump into the fight to help, complete a three digit challenge. If you decide to try to steal the kill for yourself, attempt a fifty-headed hyrda. If you are successful, you defeat it, if you are not, the other team defeats it. If you let them fight it, participate in a 15 minute word war to tune out your partner who chides you for the decision.

The boss monster is defeated, and you all expect to be done, but another comes out of nowhere, with a third following it. If you choose to split the effort, each team concentrating on one monster, sprint 250 words to take down the boss. If you choose to focus all efforts on one boss at a time, sprint for 10 minutes. If you choose to attempt to take them both on with just you and your partner, attempt a fifty-headed hydra. Write 250 more words if you fail. If you choose to not engage, complete a three digit challenge as your partner tries to force you into action. The next two bosses are defeated. Everyone who participated is breathing heavily, and you don’t know if you can survive the next wave. Instead of more bosses, however, a reaper appears. Write 100 words to curse your luck.

The reaper informs you that only one team can survive to fight the Game Master the next day. One team has to be erased either that day or the next. If you choose to fight the reaper, attempt a fifty-headed hydra. If you are successful, you win and the day is over. Skip to the end. If you do not win, choose a different option on this step. If you choose to attack the other team, write 500 words on FightBlock. If you win, you defeat them and the reaper quickly erases them. If you choose to argue with the reaper, complete a three digit challenge to team up with the other to persuade them to let you all live.

If you argue with the reaper, they ignore your arguments and insist that you fight. If you instead attack the reaper, write 250 words to chase them away. Proceed to the end. If you agree to fight, write 350 words. You win, and the reaper erases the other team.

If the other team is erased, your partner is very disappointed in your decision, and they attempt to attack you. Write 300 words to endure their attacks.

The day is over. Reward yourself for making it through Day 6 of The Game.

Day 7

You wake up on day 7, fully aware that The Game will end today, one way or another. Write 200 words to hype yourself up to finish strong.

You find your partner and you both put your minds to work to decipher the day’s clues as soon as they arrive. Sprint for five minutes.

You are faced almost immediately upon solving the puzzle with noise. Write 400 words to make your way through the crowds of noise blocking your way to the Game Master.

When you arrive at the location that the Game Master supposedly awaits, a reaper greets you instead. If you helped them erase the other team the day before, sprint for five minutes and proceed to the next step that applies to you. If you let the other team live, sprint 10 minutes to avoid the reaper erasing you.

If the other team lives, The reaper stops attacking after awhile and informs you that only one team can face the Game Master. Just as they finish explaining that you have to erase or incapacitate the other team to get your chance to face them, the other team arrives. The reaper bids you goodbye. If you attack to kill, write 350 words on FightBlock. If you win, the other team is erased. Skip to the next step that applies to you. If you lose, your partner explains what you just learned. If you attack to incapacitate, write 350 words and skip to the next step that applies to you. If you choose to share what you’ve learned and discuss things with the other team, complete a three digit challenge.

The other team refuses to yield the chance to fight the Game Master to you. They ready themselves for a fight. If you choose to fight, sprint to the nearest 1000 words to earn the right to face the Game Master. If you choose to yield to them, sprint for fifteen minutes to hope that they don’t win. It’s time to face the Game Master. You don’t know what happened to any other challengers, but as you step into the room, the door shuts behind you with a dull thud. The area is well lit and the Game Master stands in the middle of the room, grinning at you. If you try to end it all immediately, attempt a fifty-headed hydra. If you win, skip to the next step that applies to you. If you try to speak to them before anything else, sprint 250 words as you try to figure out what to say. If you cautiously get into a defensive stance and wait for the Game Master to make the first move, sprint for 10 minutes. The Game Master laughs at you and informs you that this is the final test. If you win, you will have a wish granted and your entry fee returned. All of it comes down to this one fight. And you get to make the first move. Attempt a fifty-headed hydra to defeat the Game Master once and for all. If you win, skip to the next step that applies to you.

The Game Master knocks you and your partner aside easily, and you struggle to come up with a more effective way of facing them. Sprint for 10 minutes to survive and come up with a plan.

You and your partner develop a plan while avoiding the attacks of the Game Master. You will only have once chance to beat him, so you have to time it exactly right. Write 200 words to execute your plan.

The Game Master is defeated, and you and your partner celebrate for a moment. Then a reaper appears and tells you that only you have won, as you have gained more points over the course of The Game than your partner has. If you give your wish to your partner, sprint for five minutes. If you fulfill your own wish, write 200 words, and skip to the end. The Game is over for you.

Your partner argues against receiving your reward, but you insist, and they eventually accept it. Their wish is granted and they disappear. The reaper gives you three choices on how to proceed from here. If you choose to be erased, write a last 100 words to say goodbye to the world for good this time. If you choose to become a reaper, sprint for 10 minutes to steel yourself for how cruel you will have to be. If you choose to replay the game, complete a three digit challenge. You have finished The Game. However you chose to end it, it is over. Reward yourself for completing seven days of challenges.

Tortoise..? You there?… I’m sorry we upset you..

...no it's alright... I'm just... worried about everyone

[plesiosaurys]

i often run a mod that makes chickens explode on death because its funny to me but once i tried to run it in tandem with touring carriages. whats awesome about touring carriages is that in addition to makinfg carriage travel a fully renderwd sequenxe it also adds a carriage to riverwood.

i get into the riverwood carriage. it runs over the town chicken and it explodes, killing the horse instantly. i am thus robbed of control, stuck in a sideways cart much like a glitched helgen intro indefinitely until i load a save.

skyrim is the best game of all time and modding it only improves the experience

[a-caterpillars-world]

so the goal of the retcon was to force a timeline manipulation in which vriska lives and gamzee doesnt escape into the wherever-the-fuck he was..... Interesting......

[puropoly]

hiiiiiiii saw your last tag and I'm curious why you say that tiktok is bad and how that relates to you being a licensed psychologist? personally, when I had tiktok, there was a lot of nonsense being pushed as psychology or even medical advice so I think I get where you're coming from, but I don't want to assume.

It's partly that. I have a lot of clients coming to me explaining why they think they behave a certain way (i.e. "I yelled at my mom because I have unresolved childhood trauma", "I always do this because I didn't have friends at school") And while it's not wrong for one to try to understand why we do certain things (we analyze ourselves all the time), most of the time we don't reach accurate conclusions. There are many contextual (internal and external) reasons on why we do or experience things, and the best way to find out what that is is through behaviour analysis and functional analysis which is a thing we therapists do.

That said people on tiktok are always spreading bullshit on why people experience symptoms or act a certain way: "you feel anxious because your parents didn't make you feel safe when you were a kid" what if you feel anxious because you have hypothyroidism? what if you're anxious because you have an ongoing negative thought about yourself that you fully believe and guides your actions? things are never that easy to explain. Especially when it comes to behavior AND ANOTHER THING - minors should get away from unregulated social media YESTERDAY. You wouldn't believe the amount of young clients I've had tremendously harassed via social media, or partaking in risky behavior like talking to strangers ESPECIALLY adult strangers, or getting into fights or seriously threatening each other. It's utterly toxic, and I hate using the word toxic but it is. And many times the parents don't know or worse, diminish it as childish stuff

tl;dr: behavior is contextual and randos on tiktok create universal explanations on why people have symptoms/behaviors that are decontextualized, unhelpful, victimizing and just. bullshit

[darlinimamess]

okay but fr why do autism tests ask the most contextual questions?
