i have no idea whether or not i can classify this character as “ruggedly handsome” so i literally did an image search for “ruggedly handsome man” and im no closer to an answer. this

and this

were both top results

goodatyugioh

they both look like werewolves except the top guy is from a video game where he constantly wrestles with his beast self and his human self and it’s a metaphor for the rage inside us all and he probably accidentally kills his girlfriend and the bottom guy is on a sitcom where he doesn’t keep track of the phases of the moon and his kids are always embarrassed when he turns into a werewolf at the movie theatre and eats all the popcorn

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

prismatic-bell

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

shredsandpatches

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.
