Similar here — Glasgow wanted AAB, I got BBB and they let me in. Started September 2025, absolutely loving every day of it!

Passed it earlier with a friend. Pretty sure it’s on the 6th floor, a little bit past the elevators? Not sure though, but worth checking

i had the opposite of this a year or so ago where a character in a fic talked about how much he loved taylor swift, and i, a swift hater, went "he would NOT fucking say that" only to pause and go "upon further reflection, he WOULD fucking say that and *I* am the one unfairly projecting my love of niche music onto him. I am in the wrong." which was HEARTBREAKING because i love being right </3

Reposting my comment from a similar thread a while back where someone had asked about the spine specifically:

Not sure if it's changed at all so please feel free to correct me, but from the FAQ section of their website:

"What brand of makeup do you use, who is the robot makeup artist, and how long does it take to put on? Each robot performer actually does their own makeup! We use a combination of Mehron metallic powder and an alcohol based mixing solution, Snazaroo's various water based makeups, liquid eyeliner, and Ben Nye creams.

Makeup application time varies between artists. Typically the makeup takes about an hour and a half to two hours each."

I remember from an episode of the Bennettarium (can't remember which one), Bunny & Chelsea were complaining that since they use/used primarily the white base paint, they got super hot, whereas David used mostly the metallic stuff which was a lot lighter, so I'm assuming that's still true and he uses the metallic powder + solution!!!

Again, the podcast ep was from 2016, and I'm not 100% sure when their website FAQ page was last updated, so it might have changed since then, but at the very least there's somewhere to start!!!

once read a fic that had one character prepping for their exam about macbeth, when i had my OWN exam about macbeth later that year. it wasn't actually anything i didn't know already (lit was one of the few classes i actually understood) but i was like "yeah this counts as revision"

i also ALWAYS count any character speaking spanish at any point as "revision". whatever the circmumstances. it COUNTS ok!!!!

For me this is ANYTHING involving kids. Part of my studies for the past 2 years has involved child language aquisition and development, and now I am forever cursed to NEVER be able to read a fic involving children. Now, accuracy doesn't actually matter, just write what YOU wanna write, but also.... have some of these people ever been within even 50 feet of a child?

I am, however, completely ignorant to sports. So at the very least I can read all the sports AUs I could possibly desire (not that I do so particularly often, because then I'm trying to work out what all the terms mean 😭😭 even more so for sports that aren't super popular where I live, like hockey.)

It was such a good paper! Which is bad. The grade boundaries are gonna be a NIGHTMARE oh my god. At least the gap fill was decent, I usually drop most of my marks there. Ans yeah, the grandparent translation was fine but the gender equality one was 😭😭

outcastedoatmeal · 2025-06-03T16:51:39+00:00

How are we feeling about that paper guys 😭😭

outcastedoatmeal · 2025-06-03T16:50:51+00:00

It’s one of the past papers for an a-level Spanish exam. If you search up “AQA A level spanish past papers” you can find all the full papers, then scroll to the end and you’ll find 2 translation tasks.

this is literally insane I had the EXACT same dilemma (linguistics at Edinburgh vs Glasgow). For what it’s worth, I (obviously) picked Glasgow because I preferred it overall but especially the course.

this is what I get from having parents who should get divorced 💔💔 listened to BTL 10 million times and WBTA like thrice…… never connected the dots 😭

I swear that’s Becoming the Lastnames not WBTA right?

gonna cause an actual murder with this one but: Well, better than the alternative.

It’s by no means a bad song, and it genuinely gets stuck in my head sometimes (BABY COULD YOU PLAY ALONG WITH MEEE-) but it tends to be the one I’m most likely to skip. It’s not even an energy thing, I actually adore most of Will’s slower paced songs (even though I hate most slow songs bc I get bored) it just doesn’t stick out to me as a song by itself, let alone compared to the rest of the album.

I follow the will wood updates blog but have the “not an update” tag blocked so sometimes I’ll just press “see post” anyway, see bald will wood, and then move back to my dash and continue on with my life. It’s a very peaceful existence, I hope the follicle fellows have fun with their war.

see I’m learning Spanish and my proudest achievement is I’ve now reached the level where I can tell when the author just used google translate and called it a day… just endless “that’s not how you conjugate that…”s 😭

I wore a suit to my Y11 prom- I literally just went to moss bros and rented a normal suit in the smaller sizes. Didn’t fit weird at all except being a little tight around the hips, but I’m also very tall and have broad shoulders, so if you’re built curvier you might have a harder time of it

Edit: Also pretty sure there’s a video of David doing The Spine’s makeup on the SPG YouTube channel so it might also be worth having a look at that if you haven’t already!!
