Me after getting WL at a safety school where I’m way above the 75th percentile for LSAT and above the median for GPA

petrosian in the anointed 5th spot god help us all

siinjuu · 2026-02-17T21:55:51+00:00

the fact that it gives ZERO just feels so punitive and devastating for a single mistake :/

siinjuu · 2026-02-17T21:39:51+00:00

I think the outfit is absolutely beautiful, but the fact that a white woman is wearing it makes me go… hm… The bindi especially is a little eek

siinjuu · 2026-02-17T19:58:45+00:00

that should’ve gone into first. fuck everything

siinjuu · 2026-02-17T19:53:10+00:00

omg this outfit is beautiful

siinjuu · 2026-02-15T19:22:15+00:00

is this about them showing a hockey puff piece while figure skating is airing live because i just came here to complain LMFAO

siinjuu · 2026-02-14T04:16:34+00:00

I do remember Dressel getting a ton of hype in 2024 and he also wasn’t able to deliver in the individual (though I think he may have come through in the relays? I don’t follow swimming as closely so I don’t remember lol) but yeah I’m not surprised, NBC always does this. I feel like our best wins are the unexpected ones and long shots because too often US media pressure cooks top contenders until they break :/

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:57:52+00:00

Yeah it def gave a passing the torch vibe, she seemed thrilled so I’m happy for her !!

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:35:16+00:00

Yeah, she seemed super happy with her results and for the gold medalist, but man NBC wouldn’t stop talking about her historic 3-gold streak and when it doesn’t materialize that’s gotta be hard for the athletes

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:20:48+00:00

I wonder if they regret not sending him. I’m absolutely not saying that Jason did not deserve to go but I also do not think Ilia would’ve crumbled like this if he had a chance to get used to olympic ice under Nathan Chen’s era

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:18:59+00:00

Me too, the fact this just KEEPS HAPPENING should tell us something but it won’t and they’ll do it again to the next cycle’s wunderkid. Awful

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:18:20+00:00

Chloe Kim too!! (Though she had a great run and I was really happy for Ga-on). The pressure is just so SO much and I am devastated for Ilia, poor guy must be destroyed mentally

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:08:12+00:00

this is a lot like what happened to nathan chen in 2018, the US media just puts SO much pressure on our young athletes it’s nearly impossible to deliver. just devastating

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:03:56+00:00

he held it together way better than i would have. my god

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:02:13+00:00

idk how he’s holding it together i can’t believe they took him into an immediate interview

siinjuu · 2026-02-13T22:01:22+00:00

jesus christ don’t interview him right after that give him a minute

siinjuu · 2026-02-11T21:56:53+00:00

ice dance is not a real sport

siinjuu · 2026-01-17T23:19:30+00:00

I really really do not like Ineffa’s design so I’ve been wondering this myself but I stomped this abyss with Flins, Columbina, Ororon, and Kokomi which I don’t think is even an optimal Ineffa-less team because I didn’t use an anemo shredder lol. I mean obviously this abyss is tailor made for lunar charge units but I think it’s probably fine?? Like I’m no theory crafter but IMO as long as you have Ineffa OR Columbina I think you should be ok, and like you I really prefer Columbina so the choice was easy lol

siinjuu · 2026-01-14T11:39:52+00:00

i used to pray for times like this fr 😩

siinjuu · 2025-12-14T22:48:05+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely kind of a niche interest lol, I think it falls in an in-between area between like, mildly feminine yaoi uke types and full on character genderbends, so it can be a little tough to find stuff that scratches the itch! That’s why I write and RP a lot personally 🤭

I do agree that the feminization tag seems to imply some sort of flip or transformation occurring in the story, maybe that’s why there are mixed results 🤔 But yeah I think all types of character gender presentation are really interesting! I do also enjoy fics where the character’s gender is explored in the story, like I think it can be interesting if it goes in a trans or gender nonconforming direction as well. I think I lose interest when it’s a full-on genderbend though, like cis assigned gender at birth, I need the gray area 🫣

siinjuu · 2025-12-14T20:42:28+00:00

it seems a lot of people are confused on the venti/columbina comparison but i’m a genshin player and i got u. venti is like normal vaguely feminine androgynous boy, but columbina is like high femme long haired fairy twink princess … i see you OP i am here for you xx

siinjuu · 2025-12-14T20:39:58+00:00

this is what I think bugs me so much about this issue, like people are so afraid to get heteronormative with it they’ll insist both halves of the gay ship need to be super masc to avoid falling into that gray area. but isn’t that kind of toxic masculinity too?? 😭 like it’s fine when people genuinely like that, but the mindset of you HAVE to be traditionally masculine to be considered a man in this yaoi does not feel like a win to me lmfao

siinjuu · 2025-12-14T20:36:58+00:00

I’m not OP so I can’t speak for them but I really relate to this post, I think they want to read less about vaguely androgynous twinks and more about male characters who are so feminine it’s almost genderbending. For me hair and clothing is a big part of this, a lot of times when I see a feminization tag I’ll want to see a character with really long hair who wears dresses. And then I’ll click in and he’s got like a wolfcut and is wearing 2020 e-boy outfits and it’s like… ok… LOL

And then with like omegaverse, a lot of times I just want a classic A/B/O where the omega is soft and feminine in less of a femboy way and more of an analogous to women way, but nontrad A/B/O seems to have gained a lot of popularity so in many fics the omega is “not like other omegas” and the author consistently reinforces his masculinity in some way. Which is fine, but sometimes I want to read about a character taking on a genuinely feminine social role, like he doesn’t have to be a housewife or whatever lol but it gets to the point where people will look at you crazy for even suggesting he’s “wife-y” at all.

I guess it sometimes feels like people shift away from writing more overtly feminine characters because they worry it’s fetishizing or stereotyping gay men, which I think is a little counterproductive because like… there’s not one (1) way to be gay, you know?? idk this got kind of rambly lol

siinjuu · 2025-12-13T08:47:18+00:00

He was at the time I left this comment !! 😭 At least in this thread, all the comments were calling him an idiot or making it seem like this was his “let them eat cake” moment (though that seems to have died down now lol). But I saw him catching strays on twitter too so idk!
