#8th grade flashbacks

[yeesandhaws]

8th grade me was onto something

so i was scrolling through ye olde google drive and gazing upon the horrors i created in middle school and there was in fact an entire folder dedicated to this totally-not-self-insert-oc-that-was-the-daughter-of-elrond/boromir story that i had started crafting, and while it is atrocious to read now i honestly feel that with workshopping it could be good but it's sooo deeply steeped in 2022 that i just cannot return to it in good conscious

that being said, there was a folder within said folder titled, "Pirate Ship of the Ring," which was basically a sea-faring/pirate AU which wasn't actually that bad and honestly i feel like that has true potential (ESPECIALLY WITH BAGGINSHIELD!!!) and also there was this one Western/Cowboy AU i started making with a dear friend of mine that we both kind of forgot about but that ALSO slaps (at least in my mind's eye) so now i'm wondering if i was actually lowk a creative genius in 8th grade or if i'm just crashing out right now...

Dude

this is bringing back flashbacks of 8th grade. We did a unit on the Titanic, and eventually we had to break into groups and discuss what it would be like to be on that ship. 

Do we think that we would have been brave enough to go back to pick people up in the water and risk our life boat being capsized, what did we think about the fact that other boats "didn't see the Titanic" or whatever

and I was in this group with this FUCKINGASSHOLE like

"OBVIOUSLY YOU WOULD GO BACK FOR PEOPLE"

okay bro. It's all well and nice to say you would. But 

1) You've never been in that situation, you cannot say what you would do in that situation unless you'd been in it thats the point of this question basically

2) You're not the only person in the boat. Just because you say "lets go back" doesnt mean every other person on that fucking boat is going to listen to you. 

I also said something like "You can see lights from an airplane when you're up in a plane from like almost 6 miles up"

and he just looked at me like "are you stupid? You're not that high in an airplane. You're like a mile off the ground." and he just sounded SO fucking confident that everyone in the group believed him. 

LIKE CANT YOU DO SIMPLE MATH. I KNOW YOU CAN. WE WERE IN HONORS MATH TOGETHER. FUCK YOU. 

Ugh.
