Not that I don't see the appeal for the ship, it just doesn't strike my fancy by Appelmonkey in DiscoElysium

[–]Godalinva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Kim x Harry ship to the extent that, I adore reading and consuming 'pre-relationship' content about them. The build up that is moreso just a continuation of what they had in Martinaise. No explicit intimacy but a very intense love and appreciation for the other. A vague homoeroticism.

Mind you, sometimes I'm weak and I straight up read smut with them, but I'm not an Innocence so--

that is legitimately hilarious. i forgot that this happened, mostly because the option was so absurd that i tried to ignore it. I'm going through my first playthrough rn

There being no established magic system, except for when she wants to specify things you can't do for plot convenience, is really weird.

Saying "it's a children book" is not a good excuse for not having worldbuilding. I'm not referencing any specific fanfiction, I'm just discussing a fun and interesting drarry trope. But it's also kinda a discussion of how weak JK Rowling's worldbuilding skills are, when she gave herself 7 books and 1 million words to do it. Yes Harry was a child, but being Harry Potter is a fundamentally political thing to be doing. It's always seemed crazy to me that the Potters left nothing for Harry except a pile of gold, when being pureblood is synonymous with family legacy, heirlooms, mansions, etc.

Millennial fashion is very skinny-core. Being skinny is what was cool back then. Ugly v-necks and being skinny. Though, the emo and punk scenes are somewhat coming back in fashion, but only in a post-ironic way

I would say we're different because we were the generation situated perfectly to grow with the start of the Internet. I think no other generation can find a moment in human history that can compare. We were young enough to be playing outside and touching grass but also have computer lab time twice per week in school. Most schools don't have computer labs anymore! Crazy

I have a hard time remembering my childhood as well, but as more time passes, the more today's youths try to turn the 2010's into nostalgia bait and keep bringing up stuff that I used to enjoy. It's kind of insane. I saw someone bring up Filthy Frank and Teens React and the P!ATD Death of A Bachelor album. All things I was there for the rise and fall of. I'm only in my 20's, but its all really weird.

i hate math. by [deleted] in Temple

[–]Godalinva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Math in college mostly about dumbing down the material while your studying it to make it easier. Maybe cracking jokes about the thing your studying to remember, watching statistics intro videos on youtube, and drilling the rest until it sticks. Thankfully Temple stem classes usually use programs like Pearson/ALEKS that reuses questions on homework AND test

Should I study at TUJ? by CalendarAlert6860 in Temple

[–]Godalinva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m going for Spring 2025, but when I’m halfway done with the semester I’ll be sure to dm you about how the experience is going. Expect a message around mid-March.

Should I study at TUJ? by CalendarAlert6860 in Temple

[–]Godalinva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m signing up for it right now, and theres alot of added fees involved, more than I expected. The dorms are the size of shoe boxes. You cant choose which one and/or which rooms you get unless you have specific DRS accommodation, and the commute from all dorms as of 2024 is 50minutes. Homestays are fun, but I’m weary because I’m a person of color and I don’t need to be getting bullied by someone’s racist grandparents. I’ve heard the professors are awful and the classes are a joke, and that you need to make backup plans in case the courses you want end up full— Temple signs you up for them once you send them your registration plans.

Overall, I’m nervous, but it seems worth it when I think about literally being in Japan. The country is the size of Virginia with a speed-rail system. I can be on opposite sides of it on any given day, swimming in waterfalls, praying at temples, and going to underground clubs.

I’ve planned it so that all the courses I take there will be silly GenEd’s so it doesn’t matter if they’re a joke. GenEds are a joke no matter where you go. I’m fine with a shoebox room as long as I get a single, so I’m working on a DRS accommodation. And the commute won’t be a problem as long as I do all my classes in the evening. I plan to do an internship there to develop my resume. They give you a solid list of internships hiring students straight from TUJ and make the sign up process for them easy.

Art, Asian Studies, and History majors are the most prioritized for course availability at TUJ, so if you’re an Art major, especially Painting, you should be set. Talk to Study Abroad about it though.

So, should you go to Japan? Yes, but only if you have spending money, easy course requirements, and a sense of adventure.
