So, can I carry you home now. Be good. Stop crying.
HIDDEN LOVE 偷偷藏不住 (2023) dir. Lee Ching Jung
As you may know, with the airing of certain dangai drama, there’s been a lot of rumors of the Sha Po Lang dangai drama airing in March, and it’d be the first dangai drama from Tencent this year. However, don’t get your hopes up too much yet. All we can do is wait and see. In the meantime, some weibo accounts (江南饼人 & 原浆海水) shared new photos of Chang Geng and Gu Yun.
edit in April 2023: Guess I was right not to get my hopes up too much…
Ppl who had time for romance in high school we are so different. i was busy fighting for my life in my head
Leigh was such a coward to make us read a intire book of Alex wanting Darlington, talking about how much she missed him and them that fucking scene with his glowing cock and Darlington talking about his disires and how he wanted to put his face between Alex's legs just for them not EVEN KISS IN THE END OR MAKE SOME KIND OF DECLARATION TO EACH OTHER!!!!!
I WANT MY RIGHTS AS A DARLINGTONSTERN LOYALIST !!!
Everything is serious until Darlington’s glowing demon dick makes an appearance
“She read paperbacks too, one after the next like she was chain-smoking—romance, science fiction, old pulp fantasy. All she wanted to do was sit, unbothered in a circle of lamplight, and live someone else's life.”
Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
Shout out to everyone who is just so tired So so exhausted So very very tired so very fatigued so sleepy and tired So
Not to get all political but Hozier knows what true love feels like and the rest of us don’t
do you heavily relate to darlington’s extreme longing for anything magical and extraordinary or are you normal
Recently I’ve read the house in the cerulean sea and I loved it SO much!!! I couldn’t stop thinking about them so I HAD to make a least a sketch of these lovely characters who have my entire heart

people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good
it’s not about actually being gifted, it’s about an initial higher scoring on standardized testing that means little to nothing or being good at learning in the way elementary and middle school wants you to, so you get marked as ‘advanced’. in reality, maybe you had faster development in certain areas, but the issue with being a gifted kid isn’t that “everyone told me I was so cool and special for reading and then I actually wasn’t :(” it’s “I wasn’t properly taught to handle things not coming easily to me, but the adults around me were counting on me not being a ‘difficult’ child in school.”
people who use it as some weird bragging method or interpret it that way are ignoring the way a lot of school systems force certain roles on students to simplify the learning process. If your kid doesn’t need to take notes to understand a science concept bc they get it naturally, well that’s good, but now you’re not teaching them how to take notes and they’re not learning that important soft skill. but because ‘gifted’ kids are easy and don’t show that they’re falling behind in learning in other categories that are harder to quantify, they eventually fall behind after that catches up to them. It’s about the failures of a one size fits all school system trying to compensate in the worst way possible.
And also the thing where ‘gifted’ kids are super likely to also be neuroatypical, which they don’t get screened for because they appear to be doing well in school. Or “You can’t be ADHD/autistic/etc, because you’re doing so well in school!”. Or being shamed for developing mental health issues/generally not being able to keep up with school work later, because you USED TO BE able to do it just fine.
Or the assumption that just because you can read well or you like math class, you’re somehow more EMOTIONALLY mature than your little kid brain is actually capable of being.
Or gifted kids whose parents and teachers put immense pressure on them to Do Great Things and Save The World and you’re like. “I’m 10 and I have no idea how to do that, but everyone is saying that’s my job?”.
This is the best “gifted kid” post out there. I never took notes until college because I didn’t have to, snd when it got challenging I had to literally teach myself note taking at age 18. It also fucks with your perception of asking for help - you’re advanced, you’re competent, you should be able to understand every topic easily. Asking for help/going to office hours/asking for a tutor feels like failing when you were praised in your early years for not needing to do that.
