you’ve been a prisoner of war since you were ten years old but the prodigal son is finally returning and this time you have a battle plan. you’ve been to war. you’re the trueborn son of a lord and your only living sibling is your older sister (notably a woman), so there’s no threat to your succession. basically? you have this lord of the seven kingdoms shit in the bag. there’s a red comet in the sky and that comet is YOU, baby! got your nice doublet on and everything. everything’s coming up theon everything’s coming up greyjoy this time for me. Unfortunately your dad is immediately pissed at you he says theon you look gay as fuck. theon i bet that necklace wasn’t even looted. theon did NED STARK turn you GAY during your CAREFREE YEARS LIVING IT UP AS A CHILD PRISONER OF WAR. Like omg i JUST got here. and to make matters worse while you were away everybody became a feminist so you aren’t even heir to pyke anymore you’re just somebody’s flop gay son. you’re just somebody’s flop gay son on a rock in the ocean foreverrr

arya would have a furry phase she would have a fursona. and NO ONE is allowed to know about it (even though she barks and wears an animal ear hat like louise belcher) but she tells jon and jon doesn't really get it but he makes a fursona with her and draws their two fursonas as friends in a pack. arya thinks sansa knows about the furry thing cos sansa is being weird and shady but actually sansa is going through an INTENSE horse girl phase and has an imaginary purple horse that lives in her closet and she's mortified that arya (who has the adjacent room) can hear her talking to the horse

i think its a little underappreciated that grrm allows his main characters to be disabled and hurt. tyrion's dwarfism and bran's paralysis are obvious but also dany's infertility?? jon's pains and scarring after he burns his hand fighting the Others?? ned's broken leg plagues him for months and the scars on cat's palms consistently ache and phantom pains haunt jaime through out asos and the arrow brienne took to her leg does actual harm instead of just leaving a neat scar and when biter chews off brienne's cheek she's visibly disfigured afterwards. theres no brushing over any of their injuries and all of them are consistently affecting them even after they heal. or don't heal. lady stoneheart and beric dondarrion carry their injuries even after they die. the gashes on stoneheart's face stay even when she comes back and beric never regains his eye. dany stays infertile thats not something that can be reversed. the same way tyrion's injuries after the battle of the blackwater cant be reversed and jon's scars can't be erased bc at the end of the day when ur disabled theres no cure for that. u just have to Deal with it no matter how difficult it is and i think its nice when fictional characters still find a way to push through it the same way we do

Babies, daddy would love to play with you, but daddy is very busy with--Bud, no, get down, you're too heavy for the sofa, and if I have to get the springs replaced again, I'm going to--DAMMIT, LEX, I wasn't READY. You have to wait until I'm READY!

so many professors have thee worst fucking complex about their jobs bc they have fully bought into the fantasy of the university as some kind of noble enlightening force and this is often why they're such cunts to undergrads lmao. condescending to students, refusing to take late work, acting like they're teaching some grand life lesson by failing students who will now have to pay more tuition to make it up. and half the professors aren't even good teachers because it's not even what they wanted to be doing as a career; they're just researchers with a nasty attitude. you can often see this outright glee pervading posts they make on social media for example, bemoaning, like, the fact that student no. 8474 didn't care about the topic of today's lecture and is only here to get a degree. and it's like uh yeah, you work at the class barriers degree institution lmfao. like these people truly think they're god's gift to The Youth and that they're performing some kind of essential social service by enforcing cultural hegemony and class division. and btw when grad TAs have this attitude all of the above applies and also they're class traitors lmfao

[demonmaxwella]

That is the reason why universities should distinguish their research staff from their teaching staff, not giving teaching hours to someone who were employed to do research in the first place :/ no excuses for asshole behavior tho

[transmutationisms]

universities don't differentiate the two because it is cheaper to pay one person to do multiple jobs badly than it is to pay multiple people. also they do not care about research unless they can patent or copyright it and sell it. this is what i mean by saying your job as a university professor is not a social service or an abstract intellectual exercise, it is a job that an institution makes money from having you do.

“After thirty years of intensive research, we can now answer many of the questions posed earlier. The recycle rate of a human being is around sixteen hours. After sixteen hours of being awake, the brain begins to fail. Humans need more than seven hours of sleep each night to maintain cognitive performance. After ten days of just seven hours of sleep, the brain is as dysfunctional as it would be after going without sleep for twenty-four hours. Three full nights of recovery sleep (i.e., more nights than a weekend) are insufficient to restore performance back to normal levels after a week of short sleeping. Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived.”

Sleep is a super power

[lady-griffin]

That last bit makes a whole lot of sense and it honestly astounds me, that I never once considered it.

But yeah that seems very obvious.

Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived.
