pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.
(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)
#svsss#disciple shen yuan#scum villain#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#SQQ: building his found family on QJP and Plotting#LBH: idk off sniffing rocks somewhere while on one of his protagonist adventures#i say im pouring one out for him but in reality im laughing at him. sorry my guy you are just NOT my priority. be a better peak lord#tell your disciples to stop with the institutionalized peak hierarchy and the internal political intrigue and MAYBE we'll talk#oh he cant hear me he's wearing airpods. welp. *stares at LQG and YQY* more SQQ time for you then!#its funny because i do love bingqiu i just decided to write a fic exploring a roleswap concept i saw where LBH wasnt a good peak lord#and the concept itself didnt explore what consequences might occur if LBH was as inactive a PL as LQG was before redeeming him#like if BZP can go lord of the flies while unsupervised what happens if you leave QJP the same way?? political court intrigue and sabotage#being the protagonist and going on many adventures is great and all.... if you aren't tied down with the responsibilities of a peak lord.#binghe. binghe. binghe. binghe. your head disciple has instated a hierarchy on your peak and routinely sabotages the cultivation of the#junior disciples by actively disrupting their learning by sending them off to do menial chores that should be distributed equally across#the peak. binghe. he's gonna get someone killed. binghe. BINGHE. you're inadvertently creating a generation of cultivators who harbor#resentment against you specifically bc you failed to care and protect them as their shizun. BINGHE. DO YOU HEAR ME? BINGHE#oop. i guess not. SQQ time to organize a covert resistance group. i mean a secret study group that also doubles as an organization dedicate#to ruining Li Tao's reputation and standing amongst the rest of the sect. by boys! have fun storming the castle!#tldr unsweetened lemonade is: 'i force SQQ into a position of no power where keeping his head down is not an option bc neither the system#+ nor his surrounding peakmates will let him fade into the BG. and there's no LBH around for him to wifebeam into the Fave Disciple spot'#its also a 'SY and SJ are the same person' fic bc i love the trope and having a disciple SY where he's also SJ is such a specific niche#that i'll just have to write it myself in order to see it. im having a blast with it. im gonna give him SO much found family.#liushen and yueshen(? qijiu?) are fighting for 1st while poor bingqiu is trying to claw its way out of 3rd with minimal success#good fucking luck babe you gotta fight SQQ's seven evil disciples first. THEN you gotta fight Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan.#and then you gotta fight me. romance isnt even in the cards for this fic they're fighting for the SUBTEXT.#roll for disadvantge binghe

Just Admit It- Part 1
I've been playing around with possible friendship dynamics of the Beast Council for fun!! I love imagining what kind of childhood they could have in the Forgotten Land all together.
What if Carol and Sillydillo are the fun-loving extroverts? Leon is the introverted one who's been smitten by Carol for a really really long time but he's too shy about it? And Gori is the friend who is an excellent observer and will bluntly tell you what he thinks (and maybe has a tendency to get grumpy when things aren't easily going his way).
Somewhat of a prequel to this other doodle comic about Leon and Carol- everyone here is still a kid ^_^
Part 2
#I know beast pack headcanons are so wildly up to interpretation! there's a few canon personality traits and lots of space to fill in betwee#I also just love stories about a group of lifelong friends all doing their best!#so why not play around with them and see what kind of stories about love and friendship they might experience? heehee.#and not all of them are about just Leon and Carol I have other plans!! this is just one of the first ones I have :P#these are quick and very self indulgent but I hope they can still be enjoyable hehe#friend squads for the win!!#also I feel like I draw the beast council a little differently every time I try lol. I'm getting used to them okay they are all so so shape#you should see the first drawings I ever tried to do of them. they are a little rough xD#I'm starting to understand why there's not a TON of content for them. Pretty much everyone except Carol are BUILT DIFFERENT#LEONGAR. WHY is your body and head proportioned like that?! you made me make up my own rules for drawing you!!#sillydillo and your funny little snout! I learned so much studying you! and I have so much work to do with all of you adjakflja#but I guess that's the definition of developing personal art styles huh?#so I guess these funny little stories have the added benefit of getting me more comfortable with the beasts!#ANYWAY that concludes this round of Jojo's director's commentary. like and subscribe#beast pack#clawroline#leongar#sillydillo#gorimondo#beast council#Kirby and the forgotten land#Kirby series#art#caroleon#????#sHOOT I still don't know the ship name I can't commit to one someone please tell me what it is I don't want to make one up ahh#ask me to tag it and I will happily do so sdjakfljdsla

raaah i hate reading what seems to be a really interesting researchh study in a different country and it ends up just being: here's what they do and why what we do in the u.s. is always good and their way is bad like. i think there can be more than one way to do things and that's okay
#reading a paper on how music is used in japanese preschools and nurseries and it's really interesting!#bc there's more emphasis on music in early childhood programs (ex: ece students required to take multiple music courses in uni)#the main difference is an emphasis on learning a variety of songs and singing w/ a group or accompaniment#whereas in the us there's more emphasis on creativity and exploration (read: teachers don't tend to be as involved w/ music)#my frustration with this study is that the author is using actual data when they talk about japanese classrooms#but vast overgeneralizations w/ no similar data to base those on when talking abt us classrooms#sure. in theory there's more freedom in music creation in us preschools but it comes at the cost of less exposure to music in the classroom#idk this study is almost 20 yrs old. i don't care. whatever#there have been many changes to approaches in ece in the us since then and i'm sure the same is true in japan. i dont care.#it was still an interesting read. whatever. the unaddressed biases in this paper don't affect me and i don't care

In light of recent developments in twst's story chapters (A.K.A. Book 7.5 WTF) I've decided to finally talk about some ideas for Book 8 that had been plaguing my mind since march😅...
The main idea is how, after Book 7, both Idia and Ortho tried to understand how the hell NRC students managed to defeat 7 OVERBLOTS with ZERO casualties (almost, but Lillia got better), and yet they still haven't managed to beat RSA.
The answer? DORMS.
You see, while NRC is know for its competitive students who can't seem to get along, let alone exist in the same room without starting a fight, there is a sense of camaraderie present in the dorms, the "I'd go to hell for you, but I wish you'd stop going there you IDIOT" type of camaraderie, that is.
I mean, the main reason the dream segment went so well was because they went by dorm order, like, can you imagine if the dream team started the Heartslabyul chapter with Riddle's dream? Aside from whatever Grim and Yuu could tell the others, they wouldn't even know Riddle basically erased his entire life...
Anyway, now that they established this point, they just have to use it for the Interschool Spelldrive team. Which leads to a team comprised of the overblotters (we're praying that their shared experience as overblot victims, dormleaders and whatever they managed to glean from Book 7 will be enough), and a NRC Tribe 2: Overblot Edition.
And that's how Book 8 would include two main plots, with the A plot following Yuu and the first years investigating the mirror, Mickey and the Overblots, and the B plot following the shenanigans of the overblotters and Grim (yes, this would be the first Book that separates Grim and Yuu, assuming Grim will overblot, we need to tackle his abandonment issues).
#the spelldrive B plot would include a chapter for each dorm. since the idea is for everyone to understand each pther's ruling styles +#+ what makes them so special for their dorm members. Like they know Riddle is powerful if a bit immature and angry. so the heartslabyul -#- chapter would be the team seeing how competent riddle is at managing his dorm. or how he always adapts studying methods for everyone. -#- or just how rare it is to see him smile#anyway each chapter would end with Malleus ruminating on a lesson he learned#while grim is getting closer to an overblot because he leaned a completely different lesson#like “people come and go. you need to cherish those little moments before they leave” Malleus: cherish moments!! Grim: people leave😭#twst#twst spoilers#I don't know ho they'll speedrun teamwork because it took a while for adeuce to warm up to riddle. or epel and vil to understand each other#there will be a moment where they gp visit the mines (adeuce mentioned a monster and riddle wanted to investigate. but trey and cater didn'#want him going alone. so he's coming along with the strongest students on campus so they stop worrying. there were 6 overblot dwarves.#And yet Riddle still tried to protect the OP dragon. completely forgetting he's the youngest of this group)#riddle rosehearts#leona kingscholar#azul ashengrotto#jamil viper#idia shroud#malleus draconia#vil schoenheit#ortho shroud

I kinda find it funny how the MC in Magic Awakened [so far] is just watching their friends go through / relive / confront their trauma and family drama in the main storyline.
And each arc takes place in the span of a year which means every year, MC is just getting dragged through hell and back trying to maintain their grades while also witnessing at least one person in their friend group crash out for the majority of the semester
#harry potter#harry potter magic awakened#hp magic awakened#hpma#hpma mc#harry potter magic awakened mc#aster rambles#live reaction of playing this game#currently playing through the previous season event stories#I kinda wish we had more lore on the mc#idk I love how each year is focused on at least one character in the friend group but I also want an arc for mc#also I watched the promotional videos for the game on YouTube#and the way one of the videos implies that every card we get in the gacha is#actually a spell we learn from studying#in-universe#is fascinating to me

"But doing history will not secure you a job—" do you think I want to collaborate with the system? To engage with it? Dude. What. If I get to be a teacher I'll cry and I'll be the happiest person alive. And if I don't? Well I'll get a bus driver licence, buy a bus and then won't make people pay, doing good for my community. Will I have bills to pay? Jokes on you I'll sleep on my bus and make it work however I can lol, figure it somehow idc, just shut the fuck uppp
#lmao#I'm doing history because I like it and because that's one of the few things I see myself studying in the future#like fuck I'm not gonna throw away my passion to get a sad corporate job#I'M FUCKING TIRED#i hate people who take pride in being ignorant and fucking conformist i swear#of people thinking they have the right#to tell me 'history serves for nothing' like one of the girls in my friend group said 'well I don't give a fuck about wwii'#HOW DO YOU DO THAT?#how can someone become so fucking arghhh#I'm not saying you should love history as a subject#I'm saying you shouldn't be that fucking stupid to not see how everything we're learning about still affects us nowadays#and how bad that can turn out#and even if that wasn't important#don't fucking look down on people who care?? 'I don't know why'll you study that it's fucking boring'#well maybe you're the boring bastard girl xx#I'M TIRED.#someone make this school year end 😭😭#spanish educational system and the gene of catalonia pissing me off as usually too#I don't know man I'm just angry and upset#probably will find better words for making a better explanation after a while idk#dio shit

#shout out to me for being an insufferable loud mouth in my group therapy class for over controlled losers#which is funny bc 1) i used to b extremely extremely shy and afraid of speaking to ppl and 2) bc im probably a normal amount of talkative#now lol. but in this class. its a class setting but im not getting a grade and the material isnt beyond my compression and psychology is a#soft science so i can argue back on things and not b objectivly wrong. so im like fuck it im gonna b annoying bc there r no consequences#except ppl thinking im annoying and like why tf would i care. i only see these ppl in this specific setting#and they have no authority over me and also they're annoying too bc they have similar issues to me but different. and there r archetypes.#like some ppl get real caught up on the rules and terminology of the material and im like ugh ur missing the point. the details dont fucking#matter. just think abt how u can use the idea. or some ppl r like really judgy and think theyre right abt things and im like. ugh. u sound#so insufferable. shut the fuck up. or some ppl r just extremely quiet and blank faced and just giving u nothing u have to carry the whole#conversation to make up for their lack of input. and i dont mean that in a bad way. i think everyone has the right to b annoying. i still#like them. so im like. well fuck it. i can b annoying too. so my annoying things r that im very padantic about the examples that our#instructors give. like: that doesn't fit with what u just said. or this is why i disagree with the idea. or actually i already do this thing#were learning today. which like. if i was an instructor. at least id b glad me as a student was engaging seriously with the materials#and is hopefully clarifying aspects of things. im told im good at conceptualizing things into metaphor.#whatever. i dont care. i mean. i feel intolerable but like also im not gonna stop bc who gives a fuck#also everytime they talk abt evolution stuff or data from studies im very suspicious. like show me how the fuck they quantified the number#of expressions the human face can make. show me the fucking data bc u cant fucking tell me its not an infinite number if u consider every#varied muscle movement in every combination. and its apparently very obvious when im disagreeing bc i make a face#which one of the instructors tried to prement my comments today but i was critical from a different perspective than she thought lol#anyway. shout of to being insufferable. as fucking lyrics from jc superstar wrattle endlessly through the empty caverns of my mind#i fucking love that musical. its rocketed up to like number 3 position. i lov musicals so much#bc im cringe and i don't give a fuck#unrelated

👋 Hi all! I appreciate your responses on the book club idea so far! Now, if among those interested, we have a disparity in the levels of reading comprehension, I would divide the club in two groups : one of people who can already read whole books in French/fluent/native french speakers, and another group of people currently learning the language who want to practice reading in French and maybe would like the support of others in the same situation.
Each group would read a different book every month to be better suited to both levels; and at the end of the month, we can share our thoughts between groups in various ways. (If done on discord, we could set up voice chat sessions, or have meetings where we read a summary of the book we read, or our review of it...).
I personally would love to be in a group with fellow native french speakers who want to read more french. 99% of what I read is in English, and I've been wanting to reconnect and re-spark interest in my first language. So if that also feels relatable to any of you, you would be so welcome to join this. It would be nice to have a variety of people there.
❤️Like this post if you would like to join, and tell me in the notes/ask/DM if you'd be on Tumblr and/or Discord so I can plan accordingly. Thank you! ✨
#This would not be a study group to be clear - it simply is adjacent by virtue of it being reading/writing practice for learners.#So the fluent group can just chat however they want between themselves and don't necessarily even have to interact with the learning group#Just welcome to yknow#And vice versa#Then you can dicuss together in a third space meant for it.#french#french language#french books#book club#french book club#Upthebaguette#french side of tumblr#If you have any questions you can DM me

Something something about Buck and learning and or teaching.
Something something about Buck teaching when he really needed to be learning.
I just keep thinking about how the show has increasingly - especially last season - put Buck into the role of 'teacher' - including his coma dream. (i'm using teacher for the lack of a better term!) and how in the aftermath of the coma dream - he's been trying to teach but it hasn't worked - instead he's been learning.
I've been musing on the fact that even back in season 1 Buck has been in a teacher role -
Abby learning to chose herself and go for her happiness,
Bobby learning to let people in and Buck being a major part of that because of their developing father-son type relationship
'teaching' Eddie that he could rely on other people for help
Maddie learning at Bucks hand that she didn't need to keep running, that she could lean on him for support and build a new life for herself
Ravi being tutored by Buck in the fire house
even Lucy being given advice by Buck - teaching her through his own experiences in dumb luck
Buck making himself into a teacher in his coma dream and the idea that all these people he has helped teach teaching him that he has a place with them and that he is important
and so many more examples through the seasons that I won't list or I'd be here forever!
Because there has been a lot of emphasis on teaching and learning since Buck woke up from his coma - he learnt he was good at maths, but then wasn't allowed to help Chris with his maths homework because it would be cheating.
used his maths skills to win at Poker - but got taught lessons even in victory - rather than teaching others lessons (whatever they might have been)
Natalia being interested in him because he could teach her about death and things going south pretty quickly when it became evident that Buck needed to learn how to live again rather than be stuck in death
And now we've had several mentions by Tommy of him teaching Buck things - teaching him to fly, teaching him Mauy Thai, all the way to him being his bi awakening is teaching him about a part of himself he didn't know. Things are turned on their head - Buck is the student not the master now
Even with Eddie this season, we've seen him teaching Buck things - rather than Eddie learning from him - Eddie handing over this really important thing going on with Chris - Eddie knowing that Buck would be a better option - that Chris would open up to him more - is teaching Buck about his importance in the Diaz family - re-enforcing that he is part of their life. Its also Eddie who has had the good advice for Buck this time rather than the other way round.
Something something about 'you like to be the guy with the answers' to Buck becoming the guy with the (maths) answers - only for it to fade away and now he's having to learn
Something something about the tie to Buck and death and the resurrection and how Christ was the teacher up to and immediately after his death and resurrection when he left others on earth to spread his teachings and he ascended to learn at the right hand of god
Something something about how that is the key to happiness and that is what Buck has figured out and that is why his journey to figuring that out has had him wearing the bright blue - because in Christianity - that shade of blue is the colour of the kingdom of heaven (because it is the colour of the sky!) so putting Buck in it at all these key markers of his journey is showing him as being on the road to ascension.
This post is a mess - I don't even know what it is any more! I started with one idea about teaching and Tommy and then more kept coming and we ended up here!!!!
#I know technically that they all teach and learn from each other and that others were also involved in these scenes#but I'm just interested in the fact that the tables have now been turned on Buck specifically and he is now the student#I think thats interesting as a character study - Buck who learnt to survive on his own and teach himself now getting to go back to learning#look here I am - atheist me blabbering on about religious symbolism around Buck once again!!!#Im fascinated in it though - especially in relation to Eddies catholic guilt and the way that the show is using much more#scientific symbolism around him - hearts and guts and the mind - all working organs (or groups of organs)#that have these metaphorical and intuitive attributes attached to them#but all have important real world functions that a human need to survive#and the fact that we've got Buck to this point of 'ascension' and Eddie effectively working on the last of the three - the gut#well I think that is pretty telling - once Eddie has his gut under control/ worked out (catholic guilt) then he will be in a position to#'ascend' as well.#and don't even get me started on the triangle symbolisim within all of this - the holy trinity and the trifecta of heart mind and gut#because they are playing into the triangles this season - literally every where!!!#I feel like at this point if they put Buck in purple (esp if hes wearing it when buddie go canon) - the holiest of colours and#one associated with magic -then I will be the one ascending - because that would be the ultimate#this show is insane!!#it makes me insane - I'm insane!!#evan buckley#eddie diaz#911 abc#911 meta

“is it bad if i used chatgpt to—” would it be bad if i pulled out a gun right now and shot you through your hollow skull ?
#jeeeesus christ dude where the fuck have all the braincells gone#you’re using chatgpt for things you should really really bare minimum need to know how to do by yourself or ask for help from another human#like not only is your laziness destroying the planet but it’s also destroying our connections!!!#learn to ask for help#people are so willing to help you write that essay or brainstorm those creative ideas#you will learn and improve your own skills and feel fulfilled about working with other people!!#make a study group with your friends! email that teacher to help you better understand that assignment.#ASK for the things you need to do the work#i know there are a number of schools and universities telling you to “’utilise’ AI and chatgpt but i am BEGGING you to fight it#and that is terrible because it means that they don’t even care about supporting your education anymore they’re just lazy#and they’re encouraging you to start doing less and to not be creative#this is very dangerous and it means that words are starting to have less meaning bc they aren’t even written by you#they’re just fed into a machine that fires up the planet and takes our water to spew out meaningless nonsense#it’s not even based on research or secondary sources#arggghhggghhh how can people be so easily brainwashible we are living in the matrix istg#rhys talks to the void

I help run a fibre arts club at my university and normally it's chill but recently we've been getting like nonstop requests from people in various STEM programs trying to do Studies on us. They want to Examine the Knitters Like They Are Bugs
#i live in a STEMy area and this is a STEMy school so i kinda understand#but why so many. like everyone wants in on looking at the fibre arts people. psych majors computer science majors etc etc#we reject them because were such a small chill free club as a sort of refuge from the corporate way other clubs are run in my school#and we dont wanna scare our ten regulars by having random people observe them LOL#and particularly in the case of the psych majors that keep asking they always wanna do like#gender focused studies like 'why do young women like crochet' and im like#our club was built by lgbt students and we are open to any gender or age group. and we get members of any gender or age group#ur not gonna find your study unless you learn about this clubs specific culture. there's too many factors ur ignoring#computer science people just want us to strap go pros on our heads or something for fine motor skill data??#its fascinating. bro we are just turning string into stuff leave us beee

Yesterday, my nutrition professor sent an email to the class basically saying that she’s checking everyone’s post for this week’s discussion for the use of AI and everyone in a group for a group project will get a zero if someone is caught using AI. While the professor left a good note under my discussion post, it made me paranoid tbh 😭 however, the other people in my group were talking to each other in our group chat and they all basically gave the impression that they all like/use AI 🙃
#after the professor’s email/ my group members were talking about how if anyone did use AI or copy/pasted stuff#then they should go back and edit their slides on our group presentation…#damn bro… both young and old fucks in this nursing program are using AI and straight up plagiarizing ☹️#how the fuck have any of you fucking morons haven’t gotten caught yet in the past year of this nursing program??#what’s the point of you going to school if you’re not gonna try to learn/study & be dependent on fucking AI???#I can promised my friends/mutuals this that I have and will never use ai and will do my best in nursing school and be the best nurse I can

This is just kvetching into the void but I periodically see posts on this here internet and website essentially trying to police the terms people use for their own art, ie "you can't call something a doodle if it looks finished (to me)" or "stop doing sketchbook flips that are finished pieces, it's supposed to be doodles and wips in a sketchbook!" and usually there's a reason given about these things setting an unrealistic standard either for other artists, or non-artists, and these irritate the piss out of me every time I fear.
Your 'finished piece' might BE someone's low effort doodle, that's just life sometimes! This is fine! It need not reflect on you!
Similarly, the sketchbook is the medium. Whether it's showcase of completed works or practice sketches is irrelevant. They are showing their sketchbook.
Much of this moaning is indirectly shot at people who are full-time artists, if not professionals, posting online. Are you under the impression their grasp of art terminology is just flat out wrong? Or is it just broader than you would like?
I can't take the fear of unrealistic expectations seriously, sorry. People are very ignorant, yes, but the cure is never a dumbing down of the topic, nor trying in vain to universalize it.
This all kind of wraps into how social media turns people sharing their art into this cut throat arms race, how divorced people become from means of actually learning their craft in that sort of environment, and the, to be blunt, sour grapes that grow from all of this. Sincerely, I just encourage people to worry less about other artists minding their business and focus more on personal growth. Maybe let yourself get inspired! And then we'll both win, because I will see less incessant whining out in the wild!
#transmissions from mars#I'm being polite and not reblogging what put this on my mind#but it's been bothering me too long to keep it to myself lmfao#Simply Never Post Things That Make Me Feel Insecure About My Skills#listen (genuinely) (I am clutching your shoulders): you have GOT to get over it#I could yap further about how people do not study art history and do not learn technique and do not participate in class environments#to be explicitly and loudly clear there is not shame illegitimacy or degradation in being self taught!#but this lack of engagement in both history community and critique can frequently lead to this sort of#fragile echo chamber and ignorance#access to full blown education on art is a privilege as much as anything else#but I do wish people would at least have some curiosity and research outside of like. viral art tutorials. yanno?#I'm not talking Art School either that is almost always a waste of fucking time and money#do like me and go to community college... sign up for a local meet-up... there's online groups too#fall down an art history rabbit hole#engage outside of what you already think you KNOW I guess is what I'd like
