DOCTOR BITCHCRAFT

needless to say I am hopelessly dependent on The Character

Please stop he is drowning…..

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

essentially every core premise of the whole language movement has been tested and rejected by both qualitative and quantitative research, but that won't stop them because they can't fucking read

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit

Now that I'm thinking about it.. is the eight year old segment the only one interested in aranara research? The older segments don't seem to care much when his research book for it goes missing, one finding it adorable even, so that kinda implies only the youngest segment researched aranara. But then, does that mean in the aranara world quest where Dottore hired eremites to hunt an aranara that the specific Dottore who hired them was eight? If the others don't care for it why would they hire outside help to go hunt them? If I remember correctly there was also fatui influence in that quest line where they kidnapped children to try and lure the aranara out, was that also eight?? Is the scary doctor the house of the hearth guy who dies talks about the fucking eight year old???

all my haters become cicaders when i enter the summer of success

Today I learned that cuttlefish experience REM sleep, and that it makes their skin flash random colors. This is the cutest thing ever.

I am absolutely delighted to learn that electric eels dream of kicking ass.

genuinely came on tumblr to see if someone clipped this bit so I can save it

not shipping something bc i think the characters have a cute romantic relationship and think they would actually be good together, more like i enjoy putting them in a relationship in the same way behavioral scientists enjoy putting mice in obstacle courses

Love the implication that the mazes are just to fuck with the mice
