tbh, feeling incredibly down right now. 

my profs consistently tell me I’m one of the top students. my bosses have been pleased with the quality of my work. I have a lot of experience, and I network and make sure to reach out to people socially, all things people have commented on positively. I am, by most measures, doing everything right. 

so why can’t I get a fucking summer job there? while I appreciate that I actually got notified I didn’t get the position I interviewed for last week, I know who did get it...my best friend in the department. who I gave my interview prep material because she wasn’t as experienced and hadn’t done an academic job before, and who already has another paid internship for the summer. (I am doing my best not to hold this against her, though I’m feeling pretty bitter at the moment and not sure I’m up to spending money to celebrate her birthday in a few days)

I’m feeling incredibly rejected and unwanted by the university/department/my theoretical colleagues, and I just want to fling myself off a cliff/isolate myself, because why does it fucking matter anyway

what’s a piece of marauders fanon that you always forget isnt canon? for me it’s the names of james’s parents and sirius’s middle name being “orion” lmao

what a great question! thank you for asking!

(and fun fact: Fleamont and Euphemia are canon! JKR came out with a brief history of the Potter line here that confirms that.)

I’ve talked about Potter Manor and Sirius Orion Black before so we’ve covered those hmmm but I think other than that, probably the James-Puddlemere allegiance. I don’t think it’s ever actually mentioned if he supported one team or not, but we all just adopted it as Puddlemere because...well, because who knows?

Summary:

Jiang Cheng pays a visit to Lan Xichen after two years of seclusion. He finds a different man than he used to know and together they begin something new.

“I...” he began, then had to lick his dry lips. “I know what it’s like.” Lan Xichen met his eyes, raised his brows. “To lose...someone. To be betrayed.” He stopped, wincing. “To feel betrayed by someone you trusted.” He swallowed, closed his eyes for a moment. “To lose them, too.” He felt Lan Xichen’s gaze on him, but couldn’t look up. “Anyway,” he continued roughly, “I’m sure you’re handling it much better than me.” He downed the remainder of the wine in his bowl.

Lan Xichen surprised him with a huff of laughter. It sounded dry, twisted, more bitter than he could imagine a noise coming from the First Jade could ever be.

“Hardly,” said Lan Xichen.

Imagine a movie where the main protagonist goes about life and lives with/works with someone who's portrayed as the main antagonist that is just "heavily inconveniencing" "fucks everything up" "pretends theyre apologetic" and is seen as a goody-two-shoes, or the complete opposite—an absolute rebel that doesn't tolerate demands

And theyre evidently a very complex character that the main protagonist cant understand, and eventually after all of the hardships protag experiences there's this big "twist" in the end that just reveals that the "antagonist" is just neurodivergent in some way/has BPD

And the entire movie is about normalized ableism against neurodivergent/mentally ill people.
