just finished bingeing the wheel of time and i'm going to admit that the show has rewired my brain. look, all i'm going to say is—WOMEN. goddamn

15 – catching up !

What's so good about him ?!

Scaramouche x reader smau series

synopsis — Your ex boyfriend kuni is in a band called 5wirl and they're pretty well known considering him and his bandmates are still in college but you still hated his guts on how he ended things with you back then in highschool the day before graduation. So whats the best course of action in this situation? make a hate account of him of course. 

prev || masterlist || next

Putting your phone down you prepared yourself for the first day of the foundation day festival. You sighed preparing to go out to campus. It's already noon and Lumine left early to prepare and help Ayaka. 

On your way to campus seeing the colorful booths and tons of students make you calm down for a while. Surely you won't run into him? you were nervous seeing him after what 2 years? You would think you moved on but the wounds are still here and a ton of "what ifs" and many unanswered questions. To distract your thoughts you already took your phone from your pocket to calm your nerves. 

You giggle at Heizou's tweet "Hey this just looks like–" you were cut off by suddenly bumping into someone "My apologies! Are you alright?" you reached for the stranger's hand about to thank them "Hey it's alright! thank y–heizou ?" Your eyes lit up seeing familiar emerald green eyes. As he lift you off the ground he gave you his charismatic smile. "Y/N! well, it's always great to see an old friend." You giggled at him, he didn't change, and sure texting him as "Scarass" His way of texting didn't change but seeing him in front of him as "y/n" and seeing him still being like himself back then in high school feels nice. 

"Yeah…I was just about to head in" You pointed to the cafe, the same cafe he tweeted out. "Let's catch up! my treat" He head over to the door opening it for you "You go in first~" You only kept smiling at his gestures "Still a gentleman I see~" He only chuckled back nodding. While heizou is browsing the menu you already said your usual after all this is your favorite cafe on campus. "I take it you go here a lot?" he said before just ordering a frappe. You nodded "This is my favorite place actually!" "I see"

After receiving your orders you began talking by the window telling each other what happened over the years. "Can you believe it! your old buddy is going to be famous" You laughed at his claim "Oh please if you told me in the past that heizou from math class is gonna be a famous drummer I would be laughing my ass off" He gave you a pout before taking a sip of his drink… "Snarky as always y/n" He sighed "Why did we ever stop hanging out ?"

You bit your lip, you cut off contact with 5wirl after your messy breakup. Heizou noticed your sudden uneasiness in his question. You placed your hand over his and smiled "Don't worry im fine now and yes it is because of him". Heizou nodded "Im glad you're doing better, we actually clowned him for being stupid" You giggled at his rant about them just teasing scara. Talking about him made you uneasy at first especially since you imagined the same violet hair in the distance…its probably nothing. 

Notes: First written chapters YESSS and was it just just your imagination...?hehe find out next chap!

im not kidding when i say its a miracle that i graduated high school or was never held back. like. im not exaggerating when i say that i did MAYbe 15 homework assignments thru the entirety of my high school career. i never read a single assigned book or textbook chapter. i rarely did my class work, i didnt study for tests or anything. none of the teachers liked me as a student, BUT they all liked me as a person cus they thought i was ✨️charming✨️ and would have teacher conferences on how to make me do my work LMAO. so. thankfully bc of that, they cut me a lot of slack and worked around me. like, my aplac teacher was the BEST. by the end of the semester she said i was missing too many big assignments to pass, but said instead, i could just write a couple papers on anything i want and as long as i turned them in, she'd give me an A (i chose to write about the racism and misogyny in riverdale at that time omg. the other was basically me venting about some shit that went down.) and like, my ap euro teacher let me retake EVERY. SINGLE. TEST. WITHOUT SUPERVISION!! so he knew damn well i was cheating. other teachers did similar stuff but idk, its kinda nice to think about. like, i know they knew i was smart to some degree. my aplac teacher rly knew that cus we were p close. they just knew that school was not for me and instead of suffering for it, i was assisted in little ways that helped me graduate. so im rly thankful for that, and them recognizing that i wasnt just stupid and lazy, i just didnt wanna learn the way they taught

tagged by @hua-fei-hua, 15 questions for 15 mutuals

1. are you named after anyone

yes, i was named after my brother, on account of him being born earlier :p

ok no, i share the same generational name character with my brother but i wasn't named after anyone

2. when was the last time you cried?

like last week graduation day bro you know how it is

3. do you have kids?

idk what those are

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

like a decent amount ig. but I'd say my sense of humor is mostly recounting funny situations/Being Silly/puns (the sheer unbridled pun power of the chinese language... incredible)

5. what sports do you play/have played?

haha all the sports i partake in don't use the verb 'play' (im dogshit at ball games)

track and field in elementary/middle school (short distance running and long jump mostly) and parkour starting in uni. oh and i also did ballet till like age 12, to everyone's surprise ←now i literally just look like Some Dude and also have terrible coordination and absolutely no grace✌️

6. what's the first thing you notice about people?

hair, if they have glasses, shirt color. I'm pretty faceblind as well but in high school I used to memorize unfamiliar people by their shoes and that worked pretty well. i could spot Neon Pink Shoes senpai coming from a mile away

7. eye color?

⚫⚫

8. scary movies or happy endings?

no preference as long as it's well written. also this is the strangest non-mutually exclusive way of classifying stories I've ever seen

9. any special talents?

i can hold like a really fucked up looking pose on parallel bars on account of my Freakishly Long Neck. can pull all nighters all the time and not get dark undereye circles. double jointed thumbs? Good At Jumping compared to the average person in my demographic. tentatively trilingual. Oh and i wouldnt say I'm particularly talented at drawing but i can say for sure i can draw a mean picture in powerpoint shapes with a trackpad. don't ask me why

10. where were you born?

also in a hospital in einem ✨Krankenhaus✨ yeah that seems fitting

11. what are your hobbies?

digital art, parkour, and more recently novel and lyric translation. anime and manga but i dont keep up with that many series these days tbh. dabble in guitar/piano/music composition once in a blue moon and yes I'm very bad at all of them :D

12. do you have any pets?

none of my own but there's like 15 dogs on campus and we (dog club) are constantly tripping over ourselves to keep them in check. they're very stupid <3

here, have a picture

13. how tall are you?

been 166.7 cm since i was 15

14. favorite subject in school?

used to be physics in high school ig. at least the part about classical mechanics. never been a fan of electromagnetics🤢 in uni... idk, neurobiology was fun? and coding. i dont think most engineering students 'like' their core subjects haha

15. dream job?

*sweats* alrighty everyone that concludes this tag meme have a great night!

i definitely do not have 15 mutuals so anyone who wants 2 do it just go right ahead. if you're in an oversharing mood today.

hello!! it’s me again!! happy (lateish) birthday to the bestest girl ever, miss ik!!!! so of course ive come here to ask ik centric questions

since jtta has not ended yet, you totally dont have to answer this but what would ik’s reaction be when returning home after the whole year? would she actually manage to get on buzzfeed unsolved after mysteriously disappearing in the middle of class? how did everyone react to that….

young adult/adult ik time! now as an adult, how does ik feel about having pacts with the seven most powerful demons in the devildom? big accomplishment, kid

also, what does older ik feel about her future?? does she want to go to college, or does she have any future jobs she wants to work?

lets ignore the seasons past season 1 of obey me for a second …. now in the human world, i would assume the brothers and the other students would come to visit ik. how do you think they would do in the human world and how do you think others (humans, ik’s friends, family etc…) would react to them?

sorry for such a long ask ! i love to learn more about ik shes great :) you’re doing such an amazing job writing jtta and im absolutely still obsessed after what?? 2 years now?? time is crazy… im about to graduate from highschool and i remember starting to read this fic when I was a year or two older than ik… wow…

i hope you’ve been having great weeks lately! if not, it’ll definitely get better! keep your head up!

(apologies if this ask gets sent more than once.. my tumblr has been glitching like crazy lately)

-🐳

hhh thank you!!! it's crazy to me that jtta has that staying power, i'm so glad you've enjoyed it!!

as for your questions about ik - i'll answer the ones that i'm not planning to go into more depth on later ^^

ik's feelings on returning home i'll leave for later - but in terms of her disappearance, it's been kept quiet to prevent panic, and later diavolo'd pull some strings to keep it that way. though the classmates who were there in the class she disappeared in will continue to insist it happened, it's kind of treated as a weird mass hallucination

ik actually won't be going back to her old school, because the logistics (and also everything she's missed) would make it a mess, but some of her old classmates will notice her suddenly appearing around town again - with a weird assortment of really tall dudes - and while some attempt to ask her about what the HELL happened, she's always super evasive about it... though there's probably at least one classmate who's gone super detective about it

adult ik has to stop herself from adding 'made pacts with 7 uber powerful demons at the tender age of 14-15 and if you don't hire me they'll all be mad at you' to her CV. she entertains herself by imagining what her host of brothers would do if she summoned them on this rude guy at the co-op

in terms of her future... ik's just kind of winging it, but i can imagine her going to uni to study something to do with animals - maybe she'd be a herpetologist, maybe an ornithologist... or maybe just biology in general. diavolo likes to joke that she's an honorary teacher of creature studies at the rad (prof elderflower is so proud)

i'll leave the specifics of her friends visiting her for a future post-jtta bonus, but i reckon most of ik's friends just assume she has a really weird extended family. there's probably also at least a few people around town who have crushes on one of the guys. meanwhile, luke can get away with putting on normal clothes and just hanging out with ik whenever (lucky guy!)

zhao (ik's dad) and aunt lisa's reactions to ik's new found family will be explored later! but for now i will say that zhao definitely appreciates them (still terrified of them though), while aunt lisa likes half of them and would hit the rest of them with a broomstick if given the chance

diary post

just had a little stoned cry about my little sister aging and the passage of time. shes 15.. shes a FRESHMAN. and shes drifting away from her middle school friends and she loves stagecraft she was so proud of doing belle’s dress in the musical and she put in the “get to know crew” that her goal was to WORK HARD😭 and she just had so much fun at her first semiformal ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

which is dope bc me and the homies were telling her how fun it was when we went (crew went every single year💪💀) and im glad it met the expectations we set.

AND SHE SAW THE TEACHER. THEEE MAN THAT I DRESSED AS FOR HALLOWEEN IN MY SENIOR YEAR. that was so crazy of me. that was like.. you guys. that was the wildest fucking thinggg teachers and students i did not know were taking pictures and falling to their knees. and the teacher LOVED IT!!! and my sister told me that he STILL TALKED ABOUT THAT DAY! like she told a student that she was my sister and THE STUDENT FREAKED OUT. and i graduated before ANY of those students ever started school there.. thats so long ago..,. and he still talks. about. it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭

and she sent me a selfie with him at semi! and he said he wants me to stop by!!! ugh. life is so crazy. im only 22. this YEAR has been so crazy. i cant believe any of it happened. on january first i woke up and drove to three different packed waffle houses with a bunch of my friends then we settled for ihop. and now one of those friends has been in a horrible car crash and another friend CHEATED ON HER WHILE SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL and another friend stabbed me in the back. and i have a crush on another one of them. ive lived a thousand lives since that halloween i dressed up as that teacher.

The brother dynamic between Harry and Teddy would be so freaking adorable, because while Teddy is the snappy hard edged one and Harry’s all “flower power”, the second someone dared to make fun of HIS little brother Harry would absolutely destroy them. Then Sirius would get a letter home saying “mister Potter cannot just hex first graders because they teased mister Lupin” and Sirius would send a howler back going “MY SON GOT TEASED??? I’LL BE THERE FIRST THING TOMORROW TO DISCUSS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THAT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN”

okay okay okay YES. Harry absolutely losing it when someone picks on teddy. and and and not to derail this entire post, but SIRIUS is one of the only characters in the series who is identified as having sibling (we have Sirius, we have The Weasleys, The Black Sisters, The Creevy Brothers, Parvati and Padma, the Delacour Sisters, Lily and Petunia...and...?) but PARTICULARLY in the marauders era only Lily and Sirius are identified to have siblings. (and not to derail this entire post, but its a big reason why i think lily and sirius would've foraged a friendship quick after getting past STUCK UP RICH BOY and MUGGLE-BORNWHOMST ARE YOU IM HAVING CULTURE SHOCK RN).

anywho. anyWHO.

I think in any universe, regardless of how harry and teddy came to be siblings (raised together, or maybe they took in harry post POA and then adopted an older kid, or was teddy a baby when Harry was seventeen...idc whatever) sirius would've made it like a whole fucking thing about brothers/siblings.

house rule, be kind to your sibling, they're the only one you have.

AND, I HC harry and teddy as being so fundamentally different, that by the time teddy hit a certain age (like maybe 12? and if harry was 15 or so?) arguments out the ass-hole. Because i think teddy would be popular! teddy was a morning person, and chatty! teddy was clean (like sirius) and took time to put together outfits in the morning! teddy had a lot of friends, and used quidditch as a social thing, and not like...an actual sport. Harry was fine with his three friends and his handsome boyfriend! couldn't be arsed with fashion, didn't care for being sociable, liked his quiet little life at #12 with his books with moony and his music mornings with sirius, and it was all disrupted when teddy came along and made songs up for the most mundane tasks (DADDYS FOLDDINGGG THE LAUNDRRRRYYYY).

But they love each other! They do! Harry loves his little brother so much and vice versa, but I think they would argue a lot later in life. and Sirius would have no patience for it whatever. because SIRIUS understands how important siblings are!! (and also, also, also, im not going to mention, how shitty it is, that there are so many estranged or far away siblings in the source text. Like, Padma and Parvati are in DIFFERENT HOUSES, are we joking? Bill and Charlie and Percy all evaporate when they're of age and graduate. Regulus and Sirius. Lily and Petunia. in this dissertation I will--)

So all this to say that you can bet your bottom dollar that Teddy and Harry always had each others backs. No matter what. They could pick on each other, but like hell was anyone else going to pick on them.

And while i am...mostly against Sirius sending howlers in general, I am 100000% for sirius showing up to school and being like "whats this about a detention?"

"Mr. Potter hexed a third year on behalf of Mr. Black-Lupin. Apparently, the other student said something unkind..."

"Okay so my kid has detention for doing the right thing? Interesting."

(and sirius would 100% be like "okay so maybe don't hex someone, but also you're not in trouble for standing up for your brother. do your silly little detention, and i'll send you something in post, yeah?)

i feel like last anon was being obtuse

at least for the USA there are two sets of 18/19yro

ones in highschool

ones in college/are living adult lives

reasons to believe that yandere highschool anon MAY BE a minor

anon is a 15-17 yro minor who wants to be aged up in fic to a 18yro/senior and wants Jungkook the same age

anon is a 15-17 yro minor and wants Jungkook to be older but not out of highschool hence the 18yro ages

anon is a 18 yro who wants Jungkook the same age and is still in highschool

Or on the off chance, this is an adult tryna re-live highschool through fic (which im putting my hands up and backing away cuz i dont know what to make of that)

the reason you have 18/19yro friends is because THEY ARE MOST LIKELY OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL AND ARE COLLEGE/FULLTIME WORK FORCE ADULTS

thats not hard to grasp... like come on

when i graduated HS in 2021, i was 19 (my bday is late - nov 2002). i felt like an adult when i entered college. i was not talking to other 18/19yros who were still in highschool cuz thats weird to me, even if we were the same age (excluding siblings/cousins). i dont know how other peoples highschools function but we rarely mingled with lower grades unless in extracurriculars but even then once you graduate you only really keep in contact with the friends you graduated with so...

but anyway, i was not reading online fics/published books set during highschool cuz that part of my life has passed.

and i even waited till i was in college to REALLY start reading smut fics. like i dabbled as a hardheaded minor but stopped cuz i realized that sex is not the end all be all of life. its only a minor aspect so i went back to being in a child's place (cartoons, barbies, and justice store). luckly i didn't need an adult to block and yell at me to leave them alone.

i say all this to say that highschool 18/19 is very much different than college/adult living 18/19, so people can very well tell highschool students to be off their page but still have 18/19 ADULT friends who go to COLLEGE or work a 9-5 and pay they bills.

but also highschool is boring and such a confining setting. you can't do much with it. even most books with highschoolers take majority of place outside school and dont even touch on highschool life.

the only one i can think of 13RW and we all know that could have taken place in college or military base/barracks or a futurist space academy on a actual space ship. hell that's probably why the book/show was so crazy cuz it had to be spiced up from regular ass highschool life.

im sorry this is long but yall not bout to make my good sis look bad/weird. like think critically for a second before asking.

ok no let’s talk about this 🤔

the anon felt the need to point out that I had a friend who is 18/19 like first of all who are you talking about bc if it’s who I THINK you’re talking about. she’s about to be 20 🤧 second, me choosing not to write characters 18/19 and below shouldn’t be a problem. I’m 21 YEARS OLD why would I want to write a character a couple years younger than me? even the idea of writing an 18 year old jk in high school with explico content is weird to me.

also, I graduated high school six months after my 17TH BIRTHDAY [oct. 29, 2001] and that was four years ago cause I graduated in 2019 , why would I want to write high school ANYTHING?

when I started college I was 17 and obviously had older friends too bc like you said that’s how adult life works. I have a coworker I’ve known since she was 17 and I didn’t even start hanging out with her till after she turned 18 bc what would I have in common with a high schooler?

anyways, the anons are running out of things to complain about so this time it was about me not wanting to write younger characters, just say you’re bitter or a minor and move on [and I’m not referring to the person who commented on my friend being 18/19 bc idk what their true intention was]

hi this is your invitation to go on a tangent about the titanic btw

THANK YOU GRACIE I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE UP YOUR OFFER

eg i will talk abt my son Ross

(someday ill prolly talk abt my other sons Jack and Harry and why i think they are Gay and also abt the Skoogs and the Navratils and etc)

(also i know i said on the discord that this would be a 4 page essay but its MUCH less organized than that just me spitting headcanons and facts)

but Rossmore!!!

that's what he looked like he look very stupid and idk why he's so surprised did he not know the picture was being taken

(not sure how old he is here - could be a graduation picture, meaning he was 13/14, or perhaps closer to the sinking, so 15/16)

this is him with his mom and brother (ill get to them later dont worry) sometime in the early 1900s (?) - Ross is the one in the middle, he's maybe 6 or 8 or 10ish here

NOW LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT ROSSY

(there are no records of him ever being called Ross/Rossy but I give all my history blorbos nicknames)

Rossmore Edward Abbott was born on Feb 21, 1896, in Providence, Rhode Island (probably on Chestnut Street, they def lived there by 1906)

His parents were George Stanton Abbott (listed in several places as Stanton, George S, Geo S, etc) and Rhoda Abbott (often called Rosa or Rose, but census data lists her as Rhoda)

Stanton was a PROFESSIONAL BOXER which is REALLY COOL and they got a buncha money n shit from punching people which was good because Money is Good

In 1899 Rossie's little brother Eugene was born and unlike his brother there is actually sources stating he went by Gene

(good choice genie)

his parents also had another kid but that kid died before being recorded on any census records or anything at all which is quite rude i must say

Rossie had a good childhood, but eventually the fame went to Stanton's head and he and Rhoda separated sometimes between 1906 and 1910 (look idk)

In that time Ross also started at Oxford Street Grammar School, the local grammar/middle school

Ross was a Very Good Student! (at least i like to believe that) he had Lots of Friends! (another thing i choose to believe with no proof)

actually no i do have Some proof abt the Good Student part

(look at me caually segue-ing (?) into the most important and detailed part of my research)

(i have a doc called 'INTERESTING PEOPLE ABOARD THE TITANIC' and it's 42 pages long and my shit research abt Oxford Street and the Anthony Medal makes up pages 15 through 34)

SO!!

ANTHONY MEDAL!!

Something Something Anthony was the governor of Rhode Island for a while at some point (i do not care abt this fucker) but when he died or retired idk he donated some money and was like 'hey make an award after me'

and everyone was like 'okie dokie'

so yeah now they got the Anthony Award, which was given to one or two students twice a year from each of the Providence grammar and high schools

they win by reciting a speech good or some shit, i never actually figured it out lol

but i bet you can guess where im going with this-

Rossie-boy wins it!!

(I freaked out so fucking hard when I found this like seriously i had been looking for MONTHS and THERE IT WAS)

Ross won the Anthony Award on Jan 28, 1910, when he was about a month away from turning 14

Soon afterwards he either graduated or had to leave school, because on the 1910 census he's apprenticed to an 'electro gilder', whatever that is. (some sort of jeweler?)

(it tried to correct 'he's' to 'he was' haha no this boy's alive in my head)

also on that census - Ross is listed as having not attended school in the past year, which we know is false because yknow. Anthony Medal. So either our boy lied or there was some sort of mix-up

(by here Stanton is gone and Rhoda, Ross, and Gene are living at a different address with another family and two boarders, and Rhoda is working as a seamstress)

The next year (1911) Rhoda decides to move her and the boys back to her hometown (somewhere in England idk)

there, Genie attended school but Ross had to work as a jeweler to help his family make ends meet :(

this makes me especially sad bc I like to think that Ross really wanted to go to college and do something that required an education and he wasn't able to bc of things outside his control

After about a year of living in England, the Boys were very homesick and missed Providence, so Rhoda decided to move them back home.

guess what ship they were on. guess. guess.

YOU'RE WRONG IT WAS THE TITANIC

and I could write SO MUCH more on Ross's experiences onboard and my headcanons about him and Alfred Rush but this is long so not gonna (yet)

gracie!! thank you!! i love ranting about unimportant shit!!

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close.

Ok- im not sure if i already sent this or not cause my cat climbed on my computer and i didn't see lol. Anyway, just imagine the whole Bee movie script is here, i didnt realize there was a character limit lol

Lmao this is the first time someone send me the bee movie script, I'm actually happy abt this??? Btw yes you sent it to me hehe, I'll save it in my inbox lol

some writing notes on my ishigami video

it's nice that akasaka aka points out that kaguya is very different to when she was the "ice queen" (hayasaka says this early on), and one of the first serious chapters with her that isn't about shirogane is helping ishigami study

she knows he's not lazy or disinterested because he's stupid and incapable of learning, but because his foundational learning was disrupted by his absence from middle school due to being unable to write an apology

she recognises that his games and stuff are a distraction to his studies, which is like, yeah, she is right about that since he has treated them as a crutch to bide his time.

she sticks up for ishigami to girls gossiping about him and tries to beat him into shape by helping him study every single day so he passes and recognises how the rumours, the distractions & his ethic that result from that stop him from doing well - while he doesn't magically get straight As, it's apparent that with the right support he could start to study better and while that seems like "well why does he have to? people have different strengths"

ishigami used to be athletic (being the fastest runner in his year), and while he wasn't a top ranked student or anything like that, his traumatic experience in middle school and the rumours that resulted from it definitely drive his disinterest with studies to be far worse than that. which is why having kaguya in his corner for numerous exams is so nice cause while she cares about defeating shirogane in exams, she doesnt place that desire above the real possibility that ishigami could fail to graduate and while he doesn't need a job or even money because of his dad, it also means he would be even more isolated and unable to connect with people his age. everyone is talking about their futures, their grades, their exams, and ishigami is more or less absent from that kind of idle banter

studying is a pretty social activity for some people, they make study groups for exams, chill at study hall and whatnot and idk, ishigami is barely involved in student life in the beginning so going from studying to avoid failing, to joining a club, to actually trying to enjoy his days as a kid since he's still only 15 (16 by the time the seniors graduate), he starts to appreciate it at the perfect time

when it comes to ethic and stuff like that i think people are quick to call others lazy and stuff cause of our preconceptions about them, but ishigami would still be worth helping even if he had no trauma or history that made it difficult to learn i think.

i think that the way that things are structured arent suited to the needs of people who struggle to learn, and the ways that they can catch up aren't even like actual failsafes built into schools and universities either. that you can't really catch up and succeed in school if you miss any classes and get someone's notes or something means that if you sit outside of the social structure of it, you are just doomed to fail if you miss anything at all and have nobody to ask and your professor is unhelpful about it

idk, that arc was really nice and im glad it expands to ishigami gradually becoming more motivated to study, not just to impress his crush, but because kaguya believed that there was hope for him in his academics where he had more or less all but given up for three years.

you dont have to have good grades to have self-worth but its more about integrating back into school life that's really hard for him - you don't really have to reconcile it with your beliefs about school as an institution for getting a job cause that's not really relevant to his personal circumstances. ishigami is rich, he don't need a job, he just wants to overcome his inferiority complex and trauma to just, have a normal school life. its not about what comes next per se, but making sure that the life that he lives now is one where he is not afraid to do things. whether he comes to regret what he does, it's much worse to live a life where you never take risks and just resign yourself to the box people shoved you into

he talks badly of normies and people with success in romance, clubs and academics because part of him wants to have the courage to do the same but its just easier to call yourself human trash and joke about killing yourself a lot for him.

when he talks about miko during the elections, he expresses how much he hates it when people talk shit about people who do their best like passion is something you can laugh at, and internally, he recognises this is hypocritical when he joins the cheer club that he dismisses their passion as bullshit so he puts himself in uncomfortable situations to start walking the path to becoming the fucking goat

most things that will help you grow are excruciating, long-winded habit building exercises that will help you endure in the long run and that's why it's so fucking cathartic to see him continually take steps to better his life as things go on

he doesn't magically get rewarded for making his life one that he feels proud of, but in doing so, he experiences the rewards of coming out of his shell and moving from self-deprecating introvert gag guy to someone with better emotional expression and ability to connect with others, someone who actually knows he doesn't deserve to live life in isolation, without antyhing to be proud of. he doesn't just get handed unearned Ws, he has plenty of fumbles and awkward experiences, but to be able to endure that and keep living with his head held high surrounded by people he confidently calls his friends is just pure kino

Life isn’t finding yourself, it is about creating yourself.

Hi!! I’m Crystal, Crystal Graille Mangulian

A lot of people call’s me ystal, but wait! let me tell you a secret, here at home they call me ohany because it was my grandmother’s name.

I just turned 15 last January 28, I am born and raised in Conner Apayao, the fruit basket of the North.

We are four in Family, I’m the eldest and Xian is the youngest.

I completed my junior high school at Conner, Central, National, High school and graduated with honors , and now i am currently studying in St. Paul University Philippines. People often describe me as a jovial, carefree, and optimistic kind person, but what people don’t know is that sometimes I experience bad days, and that’s alright.

So yeah let’s move on, lets talk about my favorites and what I love.

I love to play instrument, I know how to play Piano, Violin, Ukulele, and Guitar and I can also sing.

I came from a family of musicians. I joined a lot of singing and music contest growing up,

I was raised with faith in God, i go to church every Sunday with my Family, I was very thankful and contented for having a happy family and for what I have in my life.

I love traveling especially in far places like Baguio, Ilocos, Manila,Zamboanga and many more to create memories and experiences, I also love watching movies, k drama’s, C drama’s, and Thai Drama’s,

I’m a fan of Lany, I love their songs. I have 5 black pets, 2 black dogs named Phorsha and Chayo, 2 black cats named Tango and Jive and 1 black bird named Clever, I couldn’t take care of them because I am busy studying so my grandmother takes care of them all.

I love taking pictures and selfies, sometimes I am also a model but not the professional model that you think HAHAHAHAHA

So yeah I will tell you a story, when I was a kid, I always asked my dad how’s the feeling to be a musician, because all I wanted is to be a musician, it is my dream to perform stage and people is cheering on me and shouting my name, and my dad said “it’s hard to be a musician”

I’m Inspired to be like them, and now I’m grateful to be one of them,

I’m a musician but not famous. I’m super happy because I like what I am doing, and finally it happened

I do have a lot of weaknesses, sometimes i put pressure on myself, I don’t know how to manage time and I really need my parents to always be by my side, but now that i am a senior high student i need to be independent, and I’m still adjusting in this new environment.

I do have a lot of friends, we are enjoying our lives while where not that busy. I forget all of the problems when I am with them.

I was very thankful for what I have in my life.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life, -to be happy.

It’s all that matters, you only live once.

Where do I see myself 10 years from now? Was my learning in spup vital to where im leading to?

10 years from now, I see myself with some good qualifications (degree), working in a reputed institution, spending time with family and doing something for my society and mother nature. Over the next few years I will try to fulfill all my plans with all my strength. I will not leave any opportunity which proves to be a hallway to the completion of my goals. I will try my best to be a valuable and irreplaceable asset for the institution I work for. As any other youngster I also want to change happiness and success for myself as well as for my parents and my brother.

Thinking about my future is scary and fascinating at the same time: on the other hand, I have lot of plans and goals that I wish to accomplish; on the other hand, I have fear of choosing the wrong path or not achieve everything I have planned. Nevertheless, just like many other people, I have a personal plan on how I see myself in 10 years from now. This plan accumulates everything that I find essential in my life, my family, my career goals, and my passion for self-development. In general, 10 years from now, I see myself as a successful medtech, helping my parents to cover their debts and treat them to please with everything they need ,

And yes my learning in SPUP is vital to where im leading, and I know that i can handle my chosen strand and course so I can say it is vital.

Was STEM the best choice after all?

- Yes STEM is the best choice, pursuing a STEM strand will allow me a wide variety of future opportunities after graduation. I choose STEM because it is accurate in my course when I go to college. STEM helps me to give a little light about my lessons in my college life. I want to pursue Medical Technology in college. I choose STEM because I know this strand is compatible in any kind of course in college. We all know that this strand is much harder than other kind of strand but on the other side it makes our mind advance and it makes us much prepared on college life I felt lucky to have found the strand that I’m really comfortable with. Looking back, I also had difficulty in choosing a strand last year in junior high. My school offered only the academic track, and I had four strands to choose from. It was a struggle—one day it was STEM, another day it was ABM (Accountancy, Business and Management), and then some days it was HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences), or even GAS (General Academic Strand). In the end, choosing the right strand may simply be about rediscovering one’s inner child. I chose STEM not because I’m a math or science geek, but because, at a young age, I loved asking questions that were very much STEM in nature. I like watching Discovery Channel and National Geographic. I love inventing parachutes and other stuff to play with. And I guess that, somehow, the child in me still knew what was best. Apart from that for some, choosing the right strand is not just about making new friends and discovering new things related to a subject. More important, it is about envisioning your dream job and career path. Choosing a career is difficult in itself, but senior high school prepares you to make crucial decisions that will impact your future. In my case, since I have yet to decide which career suits me best, I felt that STEM would be most helpful. Studying and working in STEM means learning about the world around you, finding innovative solutions to real-world challenges, and playing a role in some of the country’s major discoveries and developments. “STEM is difficult but intelligence is not measured by a number on a piece of paper. You go to school to learn, not to memorize no matter how much it seems like everything is just memorization. Learn the concepts. Don’t just memorize the terms. Take charge and strive to learn and grow. Don’t be complacent. STEM is ever growing and ever-changing and you should be too.”

What course will you take in collage and why?

In this modern era, there are a lot of things that are beyond our knowledge, things that are unkown and cannot be perceived. As a young pursuer, I dreamt of being one of the people who play a vital role in the community. Right before, I thought hardly to decide of what course should I take and directly relate it to my interests, I came up through a lot of science related courses until I’ve heard and searched about Medical Technology, I was first enthralled by the thought of it most primarily because it focuses on the extraordinary such as things that are not visible to the naked eye.

When I was young, I was afraid of Health practitioners especially medtechs, because they do nothing but prick my finger and draw blood from me, back then I wasn’t aware of what profession they are in because they lock themselves in an isolated room which I don’t have a clue that it was a laboratory. My young wondering mind brought me to the idea of playing pretend with my childhood friends, me as a medtech and them as the patient, I would prick their fingers using match sticks and inject or draw blood from them using a “click” ballpen.

I chose Medical Technology course because I was influenced by it since I was young and it’s my interest and I know that when I became a successful medical technologist, I would play a vital role in my country and help the people in need of proper diagnosis.

And that's the end of my blog, I hope you enjoy it, Thank you and God bless!!

Friends after graduation

Kinda want to vent ab my uni friends

About a year ago, I finally agreed to go to my faculty's halloween party with my friends. This party is fucking big, like it's known in my city by every university student, tickets are super hard to get by, it's in a huge club and everybody dresses up.

Historically, ive hated parties. On one hand bc my alcoholic parents didnt give me the best experiences to handle drunk ppl, and on the other hand bc i had a lot of bad memories of when i used to black out when i was younger. But, this time, it was my last semester. I had only gone to this party on my first semester and ive become sober since, so i thought itd be a nice symbolic gesture to go, plus my friends really seemed to want me to.

Anyways, it's the party and im having a painfully normal time. I dont love dancing but i do like to talk to a lot of ppl, and i know a lot of ppl here. So i say hi to everyone i see and at one point i mix my main friend group and another couple of friends i know. I have to go to the bathroom, so i tell both groups and leave for a moment. When i come back, oh surpirse, literally not a soul on the dancefloor, not even a stranger.

Ofc, i start to panic. I don't remember if id ever told my friends, but another reason why i hate clubbing is bc, when i used to blackout, i usually did it with strangers. Strangers who obviously didnt care ab me, and basically left me to die everytime i got too drunk. This was kind of a trigger for me.

My phone was at 3%, and i've been left to die. Again. This time by my closest friends.

So i use my phone frantically to ask through the groupchat where everyone left to. Fortunately, it's inside the club. But, again, this club is huge.

They dont respond until after 15 minutes. They tell me where they are. I run. Theyre not there.

This goes on for literally an hour and a half. I couldnt go back home bc i didnt have my phone to ask for a taxi, and my friends didnt go looking after me even tho i was the only one who wasnt with the group.

By chance i find them and i start angry crying and scolding my friends as to why they left me alone. I told them that they knew how parties made me feel and they still cared more about themselves than me. One of them said "Sorry for leaving you, we just thought youd be perfectly fine on your own".

Now that i've been graduated from uni for ab six months, ive been feeling extra lonely bc im having a harder time socializing.

It's true what they say: once we´re all "adults", suddenly no one has time to hang out. It's not like we all have jobs, the majority including me's all unemployed and looking.

But i still see them posting pictures with eachother. They invite all eachother but me. They all support eachother in their crises but me.

Okay, about hanging out, maybe i havent been the most present friend. Im that type of person who loves you deeply regardless of how much we text or hang. But about treating eachothers crises, im always physically there. I send a little message, or i try to pay a visit.

This is not a victim competition, but some of my friends literally just break down for anything. And we're all still there reassuring them that we'll carry them.

For me, it's not the same. It seems like they feel the same way about leaving me alone at the club as they do for everything regarding me.

Even though I spent two months in bed and tried telling the people around me that i was going through a tough time and needed some support, no one came to ask me how i was doing. Like, why even try to bother when i got it perfectly all on my own.

I cant do it on my own. I need people. What do i have to do to be more lovable? What does their connection have that i cant fulfill?

First week down here are my thoughts.

It’s my first time experiencing city life ! my old school was seen a community collage so we were primarily commuter students and no one stuck around after classes. Im still a commuter student now no way I’m paying for housing when I can just get a ride from my mom or take the train/bus for free🤣

That being said

I love pubic transportation ❤️ hate how the only way my school issues a student train/buss pass is only on a monthly basis and you can only renew on the first or fifteenth of the month if you buy it outside of those dates you cannot use it even if you paid to use that month

THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE ❤️💀 it’s both good and bad it neat seeing so many people with different clothing styles all just moving around but at the same time it’s so many people💀

The campus is huge it’s almost like a maze here they even have a fully functioning cinema

The way my classes are structured I only have a 15 min break in between my two in person classes it’s not bad but each of my classes are like 2 hour studio and lab. At least im doing things relating to my subject. I did all my gen at my old school however this school is still on my ass about my credits even though I got the go ahead for the department head to be in my scheduled classes.

Teachers are cool I think I’ll learn a lot from them and they seem to be interested in me

My first project is a bit confusing but I really don’t care tbh I’m gonna graduate and get this degree done

I know no one here and since I’m not joining any clubs this semester making friends will be a challenge

feel free to ignore/delete this if you dont want to answer. i was curious about how you feel about your university experience and the university as a whole, and whether you think it is worth attending. sorry if this is really broad, im looking into peoples opinions about different universities as a potential international student.

Hello! Since this question is fairly broad I'll try to break it down into a couple of points.

I did my MA in English Literary Studies at the University of Exeter and overall it was one of the best experiences of my life. 

Education: I did a Taught MA which meant that I had to attend weekly seminars, lectures, and writing workshops (optional) before finally writing my dissertation. The classes are discussion based for the most part and allow for more critical thought and analysis of the assigned texts. It is fairly independent, as I’m told that is the general experience of education in the UK. You’re expected to do the readings before each class and to do the bulk of research by yourself. It can be a little daunting if you’re not used to it. But it is understood that, as international students, we might have had a very different learning experience and might need a little extra help. In case you need help with your writing or are struggling in class, there are many resources available for international students and both staff and faculty are very supportive and willing to help out anytime during office hours.

Extra Curricular: there are a variety of clubs and organizations catering to student interest, everything from hiking, scrabble, books/movies, LGBTQ+, knitting, sports, IT, etc. Everyone I’ve met has been very welcoming and friendly. It might take a couple of tries, but you eventually find people with similar interests and hobbies. 

Resources: the library is very well stocked with print, electronic, and other media resources. There are also archival manuscripts available at the Exeter Cathedral archives that you can visit. In case you need more resources, you can also check out the local Exeter Library, etc.  

Application: the application process was very smooth. The application office was very helpful anytime I had any questions about funding/scholarships, or accommodations, etc. They promptly answered my questions and helped me fill out my form and get the required documents and basically guided me throughout the application process. Once I was accepted into the university, the staff helped me with my accommodations, bank details, visa applications, part-time job applications, and in getting acclimated to the new university environment. 

Accommodations: I lived at Nash Groove (graduate residence) on campus and while it wasn’t the most expensive place it was a very clean, quiet place to live in away from the noise and bustle of the undergraduate dorms. We even had a cleaner come in to clean out the kitchen and shared living space once a week. There are also some accommodations with a meal service though I opted out of that one. 

Campus Location and Security: Exeter is a university town so it's mainly populated by college students around the city center and campus area, most of which are international students. The campus is sprawling and pretty huge interspersed between town buildings. The city center is conveniently located just about a 30 min walk from the main campus building (15 min bus ride) and has all the necessities. It's a small town but I really loved it. They have a diverse mix of bookstores, pubs, grocery stores, malls, and shopping spaces. If you're like me and like old architecture there is plenty to see here.

Exeter was one of the safest places I’ve lived in. There are security patrolling the campus at all times. Buses and trains run till around 11 pm and are fairly cheap. Taxis are available at all times and in case of an emergency when you don’t have money to pay for it you can just leave them your student id number and pay it back later at the forum. 

Mental Health: I think this is the only area of complaint I would have about my university experience. While it is advertised as being very accommodating, the mental health support at Exeter University leaves a lot to be desired. Same with the medical facility on campus. Unless you’re dying, you would have to make an appointment well in advance for any ailments you’re suffering from.

All in all I've had the smoothest University experience and would definitely recommend University of Exeter if you’re looking for a college to do your higher education at. It is fairly diverse and very supportive of international students so I never felt out of place and had one of the best educational experiences.

Hope this answers your question!

9-15-22

Well, I’m 22. Alone at school. Today I woke up, went to class, got breakfast with a friend, Einstein bro’s bagel. After that I went home and worked on some homework. Then I went to print out some homework that needs to be turned in by hand. After that I went to class. While I was in that class the homework I had just printed got extended to Monday. After that class I went to my last class of the day. Ellie left her apartment to come to campus, the drive is about 1.25 hours. We went to the robotics lab and did some arduino stuff and soldering. I am pretty sure i was the only student who knew how to solder, so I showed the others how to do it. After that I went to eat, had a double turkey burger with orange juice and a double chocolate chip cookie. I try to drink orange juice more since I don’t eat any fruits. After that it was back to my dorm to work on more homework. Then Ellie got out of class, I went to see her. She took 39 sexy photos and videos for my birthday because she felt bad that she doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on me. I told her that she could just take pictures. I got to see her for probably 15 minutes max before she had to go back to where she lives because she had a meeting that she had to get to ASAP. We kissed and hugged and I felt her boobs in the car in the parking lot. They’re so perfect, just like the rest of her. I went home, did a bit more homework, got food again, a breakfast sandwich from the diner downstairs. Then finished up some more homework. I played some satisfactory before bed, and now here I am typing this. I am super excited for the weekend. It’ll make up for such a bland actual birthday. Tomorrow ellie, my family, and I are going to a really good place to eat near campus and watching a movie, Saturday me and my friends are going out to some bars, and then Sunday Ellie and I are going to her parents for a birthday meal. I am so sad without her. I have decided to not do my masters. After some though and spreadsheeting I remembered that a big reason I was doing it was because I would already be on campus with her for another year because Ellie was going to do her GAship here. Well, she didn’t, she is doing it elsewhere because she didn’t get the job here. So I would have to pay for housing and miss her for another year. I can’t stand it. I’m just going to work after I graduate. I think I’m also just getting tired of classes, and in my field 90% of knowledge is learned out of class. The place I interned at offered me $30 an hour back when I was shill only going to be for the summer, so I’m going to see if they will give me $70,000 or so on salary if I work full time for them. I’ll have to look around and see if I can find a good offer. Time for me to go to sleep. I have a meeting tomorrow morning at 9:15AM. Im so sad, I miss being 2 minutes away from Ellie. Goodnight, tumblr.
