Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood

1. When I was younger I got really really pissy every time my next-down sister was better than me at everything. She learned how to work computers before I did and I refused to listen to her trying to explain it to me because I was the oldest and I was supposed to know more than she did about everything.

2. In a similar “wow Kat you’re a terrible older sister” vein, when we found out my mom was pregnant with the fourth and fifth kids, people kept asking me if I was excited, and I was like “...no.” They’d tease me and be like “she’s trying to be cool about it but I bet she actually is it’s just ‘cause she’s eleven/thirteen.” But I was like “my mom has been pregnant seven times. It gets old. Please let me read.”

3. I would legitimately read everything I got my hands on as a kid. If I didn’t have access to a book, I would read cereal boxes or... the NEWS. If I didn’t have access to a book I wanted to read, I’d read nonfiction. I read the weird Mennonite propaganda books my mom was using to teach my sister to read (and she wonders why it took her so long to get interested).

4. I went to private school first, second, and third grade. I sat in the back of the room with the Good Readers, which is how we found out that I needed glasses. I couldn’t see the board.

5. The summer I was in fourth grade, i left my glasses on the table by the pool, and my dad moved the table so he could mow the lawn, and my glasses fell off and got mowed over. And my parents just... didn’t get me new ones. For months. Until we found the frames and realized that I hadn’t just lost them like the space case I am, and they were actually GONE.

6. As a kid, I would climb literally everything. I climbed this:

(the back one, not the front one) a lot. See the little hole in it? I climbed a tree to get to this little ledge to climb that. There are deer bones in there.

FRICKIN NERDY LIL ADRIEN WATCHING HER VIDS oh my god i love it. i can totally see her quick thought process making sense to him as well as him loving her jokes and stories :,)

YES!!!! i love the idea of him being knee deep in research and textbooks so he can understand all the concepts being discussed and i can totally imagine them being super calming and grounding for him!!

vi hart was probably the most fun education adrien got before he was allowed to go to school

Art for Mazberrypie’s amazing fic, All is Calm, which is the best !Akuma! Marinette fic I have ever read. Her design is as chilling as the title, and her akumatized persona Silent Night (pictured above, obviously lol) is the tough cookie I would expect Marinette to be if this were to somehow happen. 

 The raw emotion and struggle Marinette goes through as she’s trying her hardest not to let Silent Night take control is written so well, and it’s all complimented by Chat’s own struggle to figure out how to help while ironically waiting for Ladybug to show up. Seriously, I can’t recommend this fic enough. Everyone should go read it right now. I don’t wanna spoil the rest of it  : )
