So... Just Finished Books Lovers. No Feelings. Just A Big Void Where My Heart Used To Be. A Void In The

wear a different perfume when you commit murder fuckin amateurs 

hey if you’re scrolling through tumblr looking for a distraction rn (case in point: i just got done crying dramatically on the bathroom floor and need to look normal when i walk out)

whisper beep boop to yourself a few times

take a breath

fluff up your hair

make a lil list on your phone of all your friends/people who you love

read through that list if you already have one

drink some water, with each sip you are slowly coming back to feeling a-okay

rant in my askbox/message me if u need, i’m ur new pal xx

i think the aesthetic echo chamber created by tumblr is more dangerous than the political one bcs im self aware enough to kno my politics r radical but then me and the girlies are on here reblogging body horror and very weird erotic poetry and i get offline and interact w a real person and jokingly say something like fungus is tangibly divine in the way it facilitates the eternal dance of creation and destruction which is really creation as or by destruction and theyre like what the hell are you talking about freak. the aesthetic barrier between me and a girl in a vineyard vines tee is literally insurmountable. i find the trout to be a very nietzschean fish

its january the 3st bitches

I just love it when video games let you do really stupid shit that kills you immediately. I love being like "oh this is a terrible idea" and being able to do it and then die. It's good game design.

Why I think tumblr is superior than any other media, you ask? Well a minute I'm reading about a really heart touching essay about discrimination and the next second I am reading about how mosquitoes are gay.

What I learned during one year of online school, and what another year may look like

Just some raw facts

first and foremost, pay attention in class, or at least try to. I spent the majority of my classes browsing through meaningless memes on Pinterest or chatting with my friends, and I regretted it as soon as exams came around.

try doing something physical doing your class, as this reduces the chances of you drifting off and/or losing focus (I personally chose to doodle mindlessly, nothing that involved too much brain power and focus)

all your organization systems fail you

and finding a planning system takes months, but once you find it, STICK TO IT. mine was a hybrid weekly and daily planner with absolutely no other spreads (except a separate calendar). efficient and less time-consuming to make.

you feel motivated in random bursts and will plan out the entirety of your remaining year and then forget about that plan the next day

routines seem appealing as you try to get your life together from the ever-increasing slumps but then your realize they just make everything even more monotonous that they already are

sticky notes are the shit. like seriously. I had sticky notes in my textbooks, past papers, study notes, and even other sticky notes. they’re versatile and a great way to jot down information quickly and right on top of where you want it (a paragraph on your textbook, for examples)

do not rely on just your textbooks, especially since it’s 10 times harder to ask for help (and by the time you get around to meeting your teacher, you might actually forget about it). ask anyone around you for help – friends, family – and use all the resources you have.

online learning resources are astronomically underrated. while I was struggling in multiple subjects all by myself, I decided to expand the resources I used for studying. My favourites through my senior year were:

OpenStax (FREE textbooks on a variety of subjects groups, by Rice University)

Khan Academy (need I say more?)

Crash Course on youtube, especially for AP Exams (I’m not a part of the US education system btw, and the resources I’m mentioning are applicable to everything)

online pdf versions of textbooks

tons of youtube channels (too many to list here,)

use your phone/computer’s night light. trust me it works wonders. plus, it’s cheaper than blue light glasses if you already own a phone/computer (most have it built in). also known as a blue light filter/yellow light.

a little bit of gratitude each week will help you keep your sanity (coming from a former skeptic)

sleepless nights will be common, especially with all the screen time, but you’ll learn to live with that.

and mental health will just go down the drain

but it will all be okay

you get both your grades and confidence high

i speak from experience

every single instance of this post i can find cached on google leads to a deleted post for some insane reason so im gonna just repost the screenshot because ive been thinking about it for days

I was watching ep. 3 of pjo with my best friend who’s never read the books and she said “percy’s so smart and sneaky.” and yessss!! he IS. and he gets played off as this lucky and clueless guy at worst and naturally talented and powerful fighter at best. but ultimately, he’s won most of his battles by outsmarting his opponent. he’s an incredible strategist and he doesn’t get enough credit for it.

percy is very cunning at heart and that’s a compliment. he could’ve been an antagonist if he chose to be but he didn’t bc he cares about people. if his loved ones and the state of world weren’t at risk of being collateral damage in the war, I think percy might’ve joined kronos’ side. it’s not his loyalty for the gods that makes him a hero, it’s his loyalty to humanity

Percy: my dad's such a dick such a deadbeat I hate him

Poseidon: can you tell my kid I love him and I'm very sorry and also save his life

Poseidon: but don't tell him he can breathe underwater except very cryptically

Poseidon: yell at him to breathe a few times

Poseidon: that ought to work
