DEAR EDUCATIONALLY NEGLECTED HOMESCHOOLERS

DEAR EDUCATIONALLY NEGLECTED HOMESCHOOLERS

I’ve gathered some resources and tips and tricks on self-educating after educational neglect. This is only what I did and what I know helped me. I’m about to graduate college with honors after having no education past the age of 9. I wouldn’t be here without the following. Everything is free, and at/well above the standard for education in the US.

The holy grail: Khan Academy. Nearly every course you could take is available here, in order and by grade level. Their open-source free courses rival some of the college classes I’ve taken. This is your most solid resource.

For inattentive types: Crash Course offers a variety of courses that are snappy, entertaining, and extremely rewarding. They work for my ADHD brain. They also have college prep advice, which is essential if you’re looking to go to higher education with no classroom experience.

To catch up on your reading: There are certain books that you may have read had you gone to school that you’ve missed out on. This list is the most well-rounded and can fill you in on both children’s books and classic novels that are essential or at least extremely helpful to be familiar with. You can find a majority of these easily at a local library (and some for free in PDF form online low key). There are a few higher level classics in here that I’d highly recommend. If it doesn’t work for you, I’d always recommend asking your local librarian.

*BE AWARE* The book list I recommend suggests you read Harry Potter books, and given their transphobic author you may or may not want to read them. If you choose to, I’d highly recommend buying the books secondhand or borrowing from a library to avoid financially supporting a living author with dangerous and damaging views.

TEST, TEST, TEST: Again, Khan Academy is your go-to for this. I don’t personally like standardized testing, but going through SAT and ACT courses was the best way I found to really reveal my gaps so that I could supplement.

Finally: As much as you can, enjoy the process. Education can be thrilling and teach you so much about yourself, and help shape your view of the world. It can get frustrating, but I’d like to encourage you that everyone can learn. No pace is the perfect pace, and your learning style is the right learning style for you. In teaching yourself, be patient, be kind, and indulge in the subjects you really enjoy without neglecting others. You are your teacher. Give yourself what others chose not to.

In case anyone needs it, I have the "library" of every clone that has an official name in the Clone Wars.

It's a sheet of gifs but it still has everyone (except the newest characters from Bad Batch they haven't been added yet.)

Hello tumblr!!

Hi, I’m new and this is my first post, yay 😁! Anyway, this is blog is mainly going to be headcannons and fan fiction, and while I like a whole jackpot of different fandoms, there are still a lot more I have to discover and get into. So, give me requests, post questions ask for certain headcannons and fanfics for your favorite characters, if I don’t know them, then it is likely that I will tell you, but will do research on them if you really want a fic on them. I will also post my own content, because I am not anyone’s personal fanfic writer. I hope you all enjoy what I come up with.

I feel the need to add to this, as I have watched Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. And can provide a different perspective. Especially since the show follows a different storyline than the comics, with different characterizations of the heroes.

The first thing to get out of the way is 1) Hulk and the agents of S.M.A.S.H. Is a kids show and due to limitations imposed by networks and parents, they would probably never be able to cover the true extent of Bruce’s childhood. Allude to it, tell part of the story, yes, not never the full version of it. 2) Marvel and any show related to it is owned by Disney, so, again, certain things would never fly with them.

That all being said, Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Missed a HUGE opportunity to explore the fact that Skaar is Hulk’s son and the implications of that. While the show alluded to it, it ended before they revealed it, and is if they were ever gonna reveal it, since they never made any inclination that Hulk had ever been to Sakaar in the Arc where the SMASHERS were stuck there.

If they did ever decide to reveal that Skaar was Hulk’s son, I think it would have been followed by an arc of Hulk and Skaar bonding as father and son, while also having to redefine their relationship since Skaar never had a dad and Hulk never had a good father. I also think Hulk would have fallen back into his overprotective nature, but rather than with A-Bomb it will be with Skaar. I think it would also open the door for Jen/She-Hulk to have more fun interactions with Skaar, as she would 100% take to the auntie role. It could have also helped lead Hulk to Red for advice - or at least what not to do - with parenting.

All that is to say, while you take is not necessarily wrong since, let’s be real, the comics did not foster a great father-son relationship between the two, I wanted to share mine since I thought it might help expand it.

Yo I'm watching Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H and what the fuck is Skaar???😭😭😭 I haven't read nearly as much Hulk as I legally should, but in the series he's so freaking funny, there's this moment Jen goes "Skaar, no smashy-smash", and he just gives her a side-eye and says "🤨Skaar know☝️, 🥱Skaar not dumb🙄😤" in the most gen z way possible, and it's so freaking hilarious💀 I hope to God he's like that in the comics because the world is not ready for his ass...

What I mean with this rant is, any takes on Skaar?

I haven't seen agents of SMASH and I'm definitely not the biggest Skaar expert, but have a Skaar rant anyway!

My hottest Skaar take is that Marvel missed a huge opportunity to make Bruce deal with raising a child that he failed in some way. Having a wife and kids was always a dearly held goal for Bruce (that he thought he could never achieve because of the hulk), but he also obviously was scared of repeating the cycle of abuse with any hypothetical kids. But he DID have a kid, and he DID hurt Skaar -- at first by unintentionally abandoning him on post-apocalyptic Sakaar, and then by training him to kill the Hulk.

Whether or not Bruce's actions toward Skaar are abusive when he's training him to kill the Hulk is kind of muddied by the fact that Skaar seems like an adult in Hulk form, and I do think there's a difference between sparring with your fully-grown-adult son and asking him to kill you vs sparring with your like-10-years-old son and asking him to kill you. In my opinion, Skaar's adult-seeming Hulk form is closer to how Joe Fixit describes his origin -- a kid acting like how he thinks an adult would act, based on all the grown-ups in his life having been total dicks. That's why he has the sort of edgelord personality that he has in the comics, much like Joe back in the day. So, yeah, Skaar was a kid, and it was Not Cool of Bruce to train him and ask him to help Bruce kill himself!*

At the end of that arc, Green Scar and Skaar have a fight where Skaar's supposed to finally kill the Hulk, but they both end up de-hulking and hugging and it's a really sweet moment. But then Bruce never really has to reckon with his actions or raise Skaar at all. He never has to face his fear of being an abusive dad. Skaar starts filling the role of "edgy emo son of Hulk," and is aged up super quickly. I think the next time he shows up he's doing Norman Osborne's jerk Avengers which is like... idk man he would not work for the government.

TL; DR: Bruce should have had to deal with the consequences of being a bad dad, and should have had to figure out how to raise his kid even after failing him. But they aged up Skaar even faster than real-world time, let alone the sliding timescale, so we didn't get that, boo.

If you want to read early Skaar, try Incredible Hulk (1968) 601-611. It's good! I think Skaar's most recent appearance was as a living avatar of daddy issues in Al Ewing's Gamma Flight, which is a really great spin-off of Immortal Hulk and I recommend checking it out.

*ofc, bruce should stop asking EVERYONE in his life to help him kill himself

Ever needed to know who served under Jedi Master Luminara Unduli? Trying to name an OC and don’t want to repeat a name? Use this handy guide! I went through the list on Clone Trooper Wiki and organized everyone. Many of these names do not have verifiable links, but if it was a name and it was on the list, I included it.

Some notes: An *asterisk in front of a name denotes a group leader of some sort.

(Sorry about the pictures. There’s no way I could have formatted this on tumblr. And be sure and click through to the original permalink! Because things may have been updated since this has been in circulation. Also if you think someone is missing from the list, please tell me who and where they belong.)

Now I would appreciate a fic where Anakin Skywalker just kills Palpatine on accident. I was watching revenge of the sith and through the whole sequence of Obi-wan and Anakin saving Palpatine from the ship I was thinking: “Anakin is waving his damn sabre EVERYWHERE it’s a miracle he hasn’t hit something on accident” and then bam: idea.

In Anakin’s defence there’s a LOT going on so like it’s not his FAULT that he wasn’t looking where he was slicing and the next thing he knows Palpatine’s head is no longer on his shoulders but rolling down some flight of stairs and Anakin just sort of,, pees himself a little.

“Oh. Shit.”

A whole mile away Mace Windu is sitting in his quarters and suddenly the migraine in the back of his head disappears and he’s like “whoa.” And then jokingly is like “who had to be sacrificed for that damn ache to finally go away.” Turns out!

Obi-wan, through a holo-call, (with Anakin skywalker furiously sobbing and heaving through snot and coughs in the background): hey so, we should look into getting Skywalker some ADHD medication.

The Jedi council: why? What has happened?

Obi-Wan: just a little loss of focus, it happens to the best of us.
