gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

they have to be in different tables because too close and they annihilate each other

[ladycedar]

There are a number of students in my GCSE class that have behavioural issues and if they feel uncomfortable they can do anything from storm out of the classroom to throwing chairs and punching their tables. They’re great kids, they just dont always see the light at the end of the tunnel and when they are in stressful situations they dont know what to do other than lash out sometimes. They are 10 months away from their final exams and the pressure is being mounted on them in every aspect of their school lives.

Last week one of the students saw me making little origami stars. Its something I do when I’m feeling anxious to help me focus on something else. He asked if I could show him how to make them. He had been clenching his fists all lesson, which I’ve noticed is a tell that he is struggling to retain composure. I gave him a strip of paper and talked it through with him. Soon half of the class were asking me to show them. They all picked it up really quickly.

After about five minutes and about 8 stars later, the student sat back down and was in a much calmer and motivated mood for the rest of the lesson. Our next lesson I placed a box of paper strips on my desk and when I saw anyone getting worked up about their work I silently placed a strip in front of them and let them get on with it. The lesson after I was amazed to see that students would go up to the box of their own accord, pick up a few strips and head back to their desks to continue working after calming down.

Yesterday I brought a large jar into the classroom and placed my anxiety stars in there. The boys put their strsss stars in there too. When they fill the jar I’m going to bring sweets into the lesson to celebrate them working hard and working through their problems in a positive manner. I know I’m not the teacher they deserve just yet but I feel like I’ve made a big breakthrough with them.

[dynastylnoire]

art therapy is important.

[nothingbutamother]

You are exactly the teacher they need. It’s a brilliant idea and im so glad it works for them.

[shyocean]

Op, post a tutorial?

[whifferdills]

[obaewankenope]

OP, from the bottom of my heart, believe me. You are the teacher they need and deserve. I have tears in my eyes just imagining this. 

Thank you. Thank you for being one of the good ones. 

[radicals-laboratory]

ohhh i learned how to make these when i was 7 and its just zen lol

Yugo’s Awakening for Discord Murder Party.

This is a collaboration between the fantastically talented @kristen-wears-goggles and I! She sent me the most beautiful (and neat) sketches and I got to take it there following her vision.

Yugo is all about warm colours and a feeling of home, which only makes the hospital picture harder to process since it’s so cold.

What a beautiful but heartbreaking story, we’re all rooting for you Yugo :’(

This a Moonmelon, scientifically knows as asidus. This fruit grows in some parts of Japan, and is known for its vibrant blue color. What you probably don’t know about this fruit is that it can switch flavors after you eat it. Everything sour will taste sweet, everything salty will taste bitter, and it gives water a strong orange-like taste. It’s also very expensive…costing about ￥16000 JPY (which is about 200 dollars).

or you know this could be photoshopped

but idk

you tell me

[meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerlin]

this is alexandrias melon (wow)

it never grows seeds but it can still produce other melons (its magic)

it is grown deep in the jungles of peru and can prevent you from aging well into the hundreds

it is known by the natives there as k’uhul ajaw cacao shi-jiiy.

its really strange how all of these pictures look exactly the same because everything on the internet is true

[coolstoryrob]

This is the Peppermeloni. (seriously gosh just look at that sexy mother fucker) Its scientific name is Tumblrous Pepperonus.

The only known specimen is in a pot in David Karps treasure dungeon. It is a tradition that a single slice is given to every tumblr blog that reaches 500,000 followers.

It has the remarkable property of being as healthy as watermelon but tasting like cheesy pepperoni pizza.

This planet is really just so amazing guys wow.

The taste of this melon will always surprise you.

[ninja-sex-tarp]

I’m fucking done with this site

[celticpunkandcoffee-deactivated]

This is the evermelon.

If you cut this watermelon a certain way you will find that it has seemingly regenerated. You can do this an infinite number of times and will have a neverending supply of melon.

[nyctosaurid]

“if goofy is a dog and pluto is a dog why is one a pet” is the cartoon equivalent of “if man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys”

[zagreus]

The implication that Goofy is just a more advanced stage in canine evolution is oddly terrifying somehow

[nyctosaurid]

theres no such thing as ‘more advance’ in evolution. a dogman isnt more evolved than a dog, just as you are no more evolved than an seagull or coral, they are just fitted for different environments and have evolved as such

[dimetrodone]

Goofy is not more evolved the Pluto, Goofy just fills a different ecological niche. While Pluto is just a scavenger and Goofy is an apex predator both play important roles in the ecosystem.

[thekingmickey-deactivated202404]

[chlstarrbaby]

Goofy’s a domestic dog, Pluto is a real one.

[nyctosaurid]

“Why me? I’m domesticated!” is the deepest rabbit hole of a line in the entire disney canon

ah, but “real” ducks implies that donald isn’t a real duck??

[sophie531896273240810891]

is being into coffee an older sibling thing bc everyone i know who loves coffee is the oldest child

[sophie531896273240810891]

like every oldest child ik loves coffee, the middle child hates it/prefers tea, and the youngest will drink it but only if its super sweet n has a ton of milk

[sophie531896273240810891]

rb w/ if ur oldest, middle, or youngest child and how u feel about coffee

[rainbow-mcgee]

Youngest of four. I’m thirteen. I drink it black, or, if it’s VERY low quality coffee and absolutely needs help, I give it a dash of milk and like half a spoonful of sugar. But I prefer to not do that.

[omg-tragic-deactivated20190822]

oldest, and prefer tea but I will drink it if its blueberry flavored

[3dz0mb13-deactivated20230105]

middle, and i do prefer tea but also the sugary starbucks frappuccino stuff

[frnkieroismydaddy]

Youngest and I will drink anything with caffeine in it

[xx-rayne-or-shine-xx]

I’m my mother’s middle and my father’s oldest and I hate coffee unless it’s got a lot of creamer in it or if it’s frozen chocolate and has whip cream. I would personally rather drink coffee than tea.

[funkylittleseance-deactivated20]

Twin and I grew up on coffee. Been drinking it since I was in middle school. My brother is partial to it - he prefers the flavored stuff from Starbucks.

[everyoneprotector]

twin - im not allowed coffee after last time

[funkylittleseance-deactivated20]

@everyoneprotector please elaborate???

[yeet-the-nugget]

Oldest - I hate coffee, and I don’t really drink anything with caffeine in it

[doodles23]

Oldest child. I don’t like coffee unless it’s Starbucks. And that’s on occasion too. I drink tea all the time tho!

[the-wintermelon]

Oldest and love coffee as long as it’s not just straight-up plain coffee.

[joy-in-opera]

Second oldest; I prefer making my own coffee at home, with a bit of vanilla creamer and sugar. I can’t really do straight black coffee. I also will take tea any day. My older brother on the other hand, will drink black coffee every morning and doesn’t really drink tea

[missbroadwayblues]

Youngest- Coffee is an absolute no-go. I love tea though! 

If you’re going to make me drink coffee then it needs to be a scenario where it’s so filled with chocolate and whipped cream that I can barely taste it but I’ve never ever ordered a coffee of any sort/type in my life. 

[radicals-laboratory]

lol so starbucks then

im a coffee only if theres tons of milk person

so yeah, im also starbucks lol

Concept: a magical girl RPG where the playable splats are based on different contemporary genres of magical girl anime.

Type S: The classic moon princess aesthetic. Your transformation involves makeup, and your powers sparkle. Your strength is synergy: call it fate, charisma, or the Magic of Friendship, but you make your team more than the sum of its parts. Your weakness is entanglement: your battles always seem to end up being metaphors for your relationship drama; your high school crushes keep getting turned into monsters, and there’s two to one odds the Big Bad will turn out to secretly be your mom.

Type G: You’re basically a superhero. Your outfit likely has a mechanical theme, and your powers largely revolve around shouting and punching. Your strength is fighting spirit: you’re annoyingly hard to put down, to the point that your enemies will tend to trick or circumvent you instead. Your weakness is collateral damage: those buildings you knock down may have a tendency to coincidentally be closed for renovations, but you’re still driving everyone’s insurance premiums up!

Type P: You are a straight up cartoon character. Being an actual child is customary but not mandatory. Your strength is rubber physics: you’re far luckier than you have any right to be, and the universe tends to stretch the rules to let you get away with stuff you really oughtn’t. Your weakness is that you get no respect: your teammates may like you, but they don’t take you seriously, and neither do the bad guys – which can occasionally work to your advantage, but mostly it’s just frustrating!

Type M: You’re from the Gritty, Realistic™ side of town. Your powers have a vaguely creepy vibe, and your weapon is probably a gun. Your strength is adulting: you have practical life skills backing up your magic powers, and you tend to be the responsible one when all else fails. Your weakness is angst: you have difficulty believing in the power of friendship, and anything that manages to crack your collected facade is liable to result in existential freakouts.

Type U: You are a space alien, or possibly a gay robot. Your costume is usually part of your body in some fashion, and your powers are mostly based on unusual physical transformations – but like in a cool way, not an H R Giger way. Your strength is bullshit space magic: the ability to pull random one-off powers out of thin air as the plot demands. Your weakness is culture shock: it’s hard for you to do the right thing because you typically have no idea what’s going on.

Scott Lang, upon realizing Peter Parker can’t shrink: oh okay no biggee, we’ll just make the LEGO castle big

Peter, ready to cry from joy: do you like Star Wars? Because I have a replica… and my friend Ned and I got it to fly…
