Preparing for a new school year is physically/mentally/emotionally/spiritually exhausting and too gosh dang expensive

How do these people expect me to buy gas and food AND pay off my student loans AND make an aesthetically-pleasing classroom where my students feel safe and can learn everything I want them to learn in a fun way

#uuuuuugh #i have like $4 to my name rn #my credit card is almost maxed out because of all these school purchases and gas money #and because of all the caffeine i've consume while cleaning and organizing and setting up and preparing classroom stuff #this is what i get for teaching k-12 #i should've picked an easier job #should i quit?#is teaching worth it?#i'm having a crisis #i don't think i've put so much personal info on tumblr in YEARS #meg speaks #personal #delete later #maybe

i so badly want one of those fic examinations of steve's relationship with joyce and hopper but solely through eddie's pov like hear me out

steve and eddie chat a lot in the upside down (and later in the hospital, when they learn hop is alive). steve has taken charge of filling eddie in on the rest of their of-age crew without the kids butting in. he never mentions his own parents, but he talks about the rest of the party's a lot, especially joyce and hopper. eddie knows what it's like to desperately want someone to be your parent and trying to hide it from his own childhood, when he would try to be cool about wayne dropping him off at his dad's house. steve obviously adores joyce and hopper, thinks the world of them and legitimately looks up to them.

eddie isn't sure what he expects from a cop who came back to life and the world's most determined housewife, but he's excited to meet them as someone steve loves.

cue eddie's horror when he realizes that neither of them really feel much for steve rather than annoyance and vague distrust. that joyce trusts will with eddie, an accused murderer, in a heartbeat and still hesitates to leave him with steve. that hopper brushes off every ounce of steve's hero worship and joy.

he tries to broach the topic with steve, gently, and is heartbroken when steve genuinely has no idea what he's talking about. and not because he's oblivious, but because steve thinks that's what he deserves. he thinks that's the parental love that someone who was an asshole in high school needs, because that's what would make him a good person. he needs people to call him out constantly, obviously, because why else would they keep doing it? why would nancy? at least they're here. at least they're not ignoring him. at least they're not forcing him into a box. they just want him to be better.

like, this is the man who thanked a girl for calling him bullshit and telling him she never loved him. he doesn't Know that's not how you're supposed to handle things. no one ever taught him that.

and now eddie's gotta figure out how he can teach steve how to be loved the right way without outing himself and his huge crush on his love-starved dork of a friend.

#shut up az #steddie #i just had the flash of eddie in a hospital bed staring up at hopper and the way he talks to steve in horror #like hopper saying something off the cuff about how he's not surprised there was so much collateral with steve in charge #and eddie thinking about steve always putting himself in harm's way #and the way steve got mauled by bats way before eddie did and then KEPT. GOING. but no one is mentioning that #no one is mentioning that steve was the first one of their group physically hurt by this.#and steve is just nodding like he agrees and eddie doesn't want to be rude bc these ppl are obviously Important to his friends #and then Mike comes in later and says something Mike-y and Eddie snaps at him #then he has to apologize because Mike is a stupid kid who loves Steve in his own way #and Eddie shouldn't blame him for the behavior of adults who should no better just because Mike is an easier target #anyway Eddie doesn't know how to have parents right either so he ropes Jeff and Lucas and Gareth and Robin into OP: Teach Steve Self-Worth

gnawing on my arm because i think there's something to be said about how stede not only dreams about himself with a beard, but ed with his full beard back too. like, the dream seems to be riddled with imagery that he thinks ed would want.

and i say this especially because of how stede reacted when ed had to shave his beard. he freaked out on his behalf. he shrieked in horror whereas ed was entirely unbothered. he feared he had ruined him, had dragged him down to some despicable level, when in actuality, ed was completely content to shed that part of his persona.

and then there he is dreaming about ed with that part right on back.

so there's very clearly still a part of his mind that's convinced that's what ed wants. because why wouldn't he? everyone else seems to. and why would he want the softness and femininity stede had been bullied for his entire life?

which in turn plays into his own imagery too. bearded, masculine, fiercesome, rugged...

because how could someone love what everyone has hated him for? how could someone want what everyone has tried to quite literally beat out of him?

#OFMD #OFMD Season 2 #OFMD S2 Spoilers #Gentlebeard #Blackbonnet #Edward Teach #Stede Bonnet #Revenge Rambles #ALSO #I SAY ALL OF THIS TO SAY #I really REALLY hope they have a conversation about it #Because Stede clearly has some issues going on with his self-worth still #He's getting BETTER #But he's definitely still having issues #And I really hope I'm on the money when it comes to that one shot where Ed seems to be looking at him drinking/partying in Spanish Jackie'z #And is looking TROUBLED #I keep envisioning an exchange where Ed is like 'Well this is...different'#And Stede cheerily goes 'Ah yes. Trying something new! Do you like it?'#And Ed looks him dead in the eye and goes 'Do YOU?'#Also it kills me how they're both sort of having the same issues just in different fonts #Ie Ed worrying that he's unlovable how he is #And Stede ALSO worrying that he's unlovable how he is #They both want to change parts of themselves/shy away from parts of themselves #When in reality both of them love each other for who they really are #AND I HOPE THEY HAVE A CONVERSATION CENTERED AROUND JUST THAT #I HOPE THAT'S WHAT AAAALLL OF THIS IS BUILDING TO

"You weren't a dick. Life's a dick."

I love this so much, and I love that this is a theme the show embraces. That often it's not a case of someone being "wrong," that when you're having a conflict it doesn't mean you need to choose sides.

Life IS a dick. It's hard. It fucks you up and makes you act in imperfect ways and sometimes you hurt people you care about.

But it doesn't mean you're a bad person. It doesn't mean you're unforgivable.

You're still worthy of love.

I really wish it was obvious and clear that learning hypnosis shouldn't stop after the 101/beginner material :( There is so much more and it would help a lot of people who struggle to get the experiences they want.

I get so jealous of the rope community sometimes because rope is obviously, visibly complicated, and you have to really strive for tangible proficiency. This is DEFINITELY not about everyone but I think we settle for too low, in general.

Here's a few spitball ideas of what I might consider different levels of learning material:

Beginner learning:

How to do an induction

Simplified ideas about what hypnosis is

Giving basic suggestions, making triggers

Basic safety practices

Novice learning:

Ideas about ways to play/themes

Simplified “indirect” suggestion (might/may)

"Standardized" techniques (yes sets, 7+/-2, etc)

Some basic variation around suggesting phenomena (hallucinations, amnesia, etc)

More sophisticated safety practices/theory

Intermediate learning:

Various codified language patterns (NLP/Zebu card etc)

Moving away from “induction > deepener > suggestions” style

Moving away from "standardized" tech

Different models of hypnosis

Beginnings of connecting psych/philosophy/other disciplines

Advanced learning:

Sophisticated command of concepts behind language, less reliance on patterns

Moving fluidly between many models of hypnosis/psych

Sophisticated connections between psych/philosophy/other disciplines

Large breadth of theory/ideas behind techniques

--

It's very hard to codify what "advanced" means

Clearly with my 101 resource (http://learnhypnokink.com) I think we should be teaching certain things much earlier

I believe you can't teach past novice level with one book/resource, and it gets harder to go up from there

(Pulled from my Twitter)

Eddie Munson's message as a character should never have been that he needed to stop running and fight to be a hero. It should have been that heroism can look a lot of different ways. It should have been you don't have to be a hero to have worth.

#eddie munson #stranger things #yes I am still mad #no I will not be stopping soon #but you're going to get meta tomorrow about something else #no it will not make anything better #yes it will make you mad too hopefully #also not for nothing but #Literally El's whole arc was the same thing #they tried to play it like it wasn't #but after spending a frankly bullshit amount of time #showing us how she was floundering without her powers #they dropped Mike going you're a superhero and El going Not Anymore #and then she has to get her powers back to save everyone #which like yeah okay she's literally the only one who can do that #but listen‚ look me in my eyes #she really could have used someone like eddie #to teach her that she doesn't need to be a hero to have worth #she's not listening to anyone else because they've all experienced her with superpowers #But Eddie didn't even see her defeat vecna at all #idk I'm just. the possibilities!!!!! the character development!!!#they could have had narrative parallels!!!#ugh

mhok immediately dismissing himself whenever day is around other people from day's world; hoovering in the kitchen or behind day; removing him from situations he feels like he has no right to be in, just waiting to be of service in some way; i need day to be very clear to mhok that he has a place at day's side as someone day wants at his side and not just as a caretaker and i need that to be very soon

#last twilight #i mean yes he's trying to be professional #but his self worth is also non-existent and i need day to teach mhok that just because he was told he's worthless doesn't mean he is

hozier starting to sing take me to church and then unfurling a pride flag healed something in me actually

if you listen closely you can hear me yell ‘oh my god’ when he does it

#(don’t listen too closely though I’m a bad singer lol)#I tried to post this Sunday night but it didn’t go through #I had no idea he was going to do it I almost cried #not leverage #hozier #slept at our airbnb for like 4 hours #woke up for an hour until Cumbies would be open so I could get breakfast (5am)#and then drove over 2.5 hours to get back home in time to get prepared for work #I ended up teaching my two hour group and then working till twelve and taking the rest of the day off #I forgot my meds so I slept ten hours until 10 at night 💀#worth it #seeing him was a spiritual experience fr #and this was like SO spontaneous. like I cannot express enough how much I didn’t plan for this #also I literally got my tickets saturday when the show was sunday. thank u stubhub ur a true mvp #I knew my friends were going and were staying overnight and someone in my facebook group was selling tickets last minute and was like 👀👀👀#I’m not gonna go into how she decided to sell to someone else later that day when I had already made plans and made me cry but whatever #it worked out in the end

What do Ed and Stede see in each other?

Rhys: It's the dark seeing the light and the light seeing the light underneath the dark as well. So, it's the facades that we play, and I think at this point. Stede is clearly playing a facade. He's playing a pirate. He's certainly not that, you know, he's an elegant man who's dainty and worried about everything, but he really wants to be, and the thing he wants to be is right in front of him. And so, he falls in love with that. He's always loved the thing that being that strong powerful person that he isn't. And of course, Ed is seeing the opposite. He's seeing what he really wants to be. He wants the tenderness and the love and the kindness. And that's exactly what Stede is. And so, he falls in love with that. And that's what they're falling in love with, the versions of themselves.
