you don't want to come here (agender, they/them, artist when i feel like it)

i like that i can just. say words here. you think i’m so silly goofy… so fucking torrential downpour of me to butcher english

im scared should i be scared about accounts that have no posts, no icon, no bio..????

i have not lived within the tumblr experience. like. ever.

i think schools are like. objectively the most under-utilised places. yes, teachers can and sometimes do use their power to aid the education process, but seeing how little the teachers do to mitigate failure and such is completely mind boggling.

imagine you were a teacher, what would you change to help? grading criterion? requirements for your class? class expectations?

no, what you change is the material. kids in every class already have these varied in spades, and often times these changes add to the problem rather than fixing them.

changing the material is the only necessary difference for every class, and do you wanna know what you do?

focus the material on the student.

yes, you have to hit specific questions or standards, but use those as your jumping point.

if you have to teach your students how to model a ribosome undergoing meiosis, don’t force every student to have a copy and paste model. allow creativity. allow the students to teach themselves, or, if they can’t grasp it, allow the students to ask the questions that help them, don’t just tell them what’s expected.

in saying all this, no, i’m not saying it’s going to be easy. teachers try their hardest sometimes, and unfortunately in most instances they can’t do anything but just listen.

what needs to happen is an entire educational shift in, instead of teacher telling student, a chance of teacher helping student.

anyway you guys like vocaloid

i just realised i would be either ostracised or praised for having the actual genuine taste of "nothing grosses me out in music other than hip-hop, rap, or country."

death metal? fuck yea. creepy ass 20 minute long ambience songs? delectable. literally the most underground band ever? amazing

i have listened to clowncore, breakcore, math rock, indie rock, vocaloid…

obviously i have preference over the other, but like. no genre has ever made me disgusted (unlike the previously mentioned). test my limits nerd. i dare you.

man my head hurts

"have you drank water"

sorry, what?

"err, have you doinkdouped the brattlestinge?"

A recipe for finding your story's plot:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of Things that must be in the story (this can be characters, specific scenes, settings, subplots etc.)
  • 1 cup of Vague plot ideas I may not use
  • 1 tbsp of Central Themes
  • 1 tsp of Ending (either happy, tragic, or bitter-sweet)
  • 1 tsp of Protagonist's Primary Motivation
  • 2 lbs of Brick Wall
  • Time, as needed

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix Things that must be in the story. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together Vague plot ideas I may not use. Discard the excess and set aside.
  3. Add Themes, Ending, and Motivation to a small jar. Screw lid on tight and shake until mixture becomes Conflict.
  4. Pour Conflict and Vague plot ideas into Things that must be in the story. Blend on medium until Plot Points form.
  5. Taste.
  6. If it is still missing something, smash head against 1 lbs of Brick Wall for one to six hours.
  7. Let marinate for one to 365 days. Add more Things and Vague plot ideas as desired.
  8. Smash head against the rest of the Brick Wall for one to six hours.
  9. Scream.
  10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 as needed.
  11. After sufficient marination, the mixture will form an idea. This will tell you what specific action must happen in order to resolve your story's conflict. Write this down and make appropriate sacrifices to thank whichever deity took pity on you.
  12. Now you have your conflict, climax, and resolution. You just have to figure out how to get there. Good luck with the damn middle section dork!!
