(click through for better quality) 💕i’ll post selfies this weekend so y'all know who to look for. who else is going?? i’m so excited to see everyone!
Unsolicited pro-tip for grad school: Get a credit card and start building credit before you go, because it will make your life much, much easier. Without a good credit score you’re going to have a hard time setting up utilities (including internet service), buying furniture, renting an apartment, all of the above. Do yourself a further favor and pay attention to the benefits and pick a card that’s going to make sense for you. Travelling home a lot for the holidays? Get one that earns you airline points. Are you a fucking nerd like me? Get a Barnes & Noble MasterCard and you’ll get discounts and gift cards and if you spend enough you might even get a free membership. Moreover: You can use credit cards to organize your finances and make your taxes easier. Working towards a career in academia? Cool, your school expenses are probably deductible. Put all of those on the same card and then you can just deduct the Visa bill when tax season rolls around. Be smart about your money. It’s going to make everything way less stressful.
the whole mutual thing is really overhyped on this site. sometimes interests don’t match up and that’s the only reason why there isn’t a mutual following. if you’re a regular in my inbox or my notifications, i have visited your blog before. if i didn’t want you around for any reason, you would be blocked. so yeah. you can spam my notes and/or talk with me (and possibly become my friend) even if i’m not following you back. no worries.
Speaking of Hamilton, it’s super fucked up the reputation it gets because of some of its more immature fans. Like, yeah, okay, there are people out there that are treating the founding fathers like “uwu cinnamon roll characters” instead of the actual real life people they were but that’s….not the show’s fault? The show does a better job of showing them as flawed human beings than MOST historical media, which tend to glorify them and completely ignore all flaws and shortcomings.
But more than that, it’s fucked up that the show is starting to get a bad reputation or be regarded as “cringey”. This is a show that shattered records and set milestones in theatre, and it is a show that is like 99% non-white. It’s a show that was written BY a man of colour specifically to CREATE more roles for performers of colour in an industry where he always felt there was little to no room for them. Can we not discredit that or its importance just because some teens on tumblr don’t know how to be normal about a musical they like?
plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome
Look, I’ll go on your stupid adventure, but you better leave me the fuck alone when we get back.

Barry Bluejeans: hey y’all welcome back to my wonderland speedrun challenge
“What I’m doing here is the door glitch exploit. Unfortunately I have to cycle through all these other random assets before I get to it, but in the end it saves more frames than completing the round normally. Normally I’d just clip through the wall but the way this place is programmed is every zone is just the same room and the next game is swapped in each round.
You might have noticed throughout this run I’ve been absorbing a lot of necrotic energy generated from my friends’ misery; that’s going to end up pretty essential for surviving the last boss. The hard part is going to be at the end when I have to convince the other players to follow me to a cave where I can load my second form, because if that doesn’t work well it really costs you the whole run”
