Wait I Lied This Is Worse Wtf Do U Mean 'why Did U Take Mumbo Away From Me' Grian Minecraft

carmen deserves every hug she could get post-season 4 😞 

(found out that yesterday was international hug day— i’m late a day but anywaysss…)

So I keep thinking about Gem being able to do astral projection, X-ray, free cam, go out of body, whatever you want to refer to it as. There's so much angst potential.

Trigger warning: dissociation, skin picking/rubbing? (I think that's how I word that? It's one sentence) Depersonalization (the whole thing to be honest)

Gem still exists in the real world, but she's not in her body. The dissociation that most likely comes with that is absolutely insane.

Like in my head the past wildcards are always on their minds, there's absolutely trauma there. People worried about snails for weeks, people who died from hunger had this unquenchable hunger for a bit and some still do, and people wake up in the middle of the night knowing the answers to trivia questions, as you do for tests. Some are worse but its still bad for everyone.

And now Gem has been out of body. She's talked to the dead, for God's sake. Does she wake up in the middle of the night because her flesh feels wrong for some reason? Is she always aware that dead people are just around? Does she talk to the air sometimes because Mumbo and Skizz are still around always? They just don't show up. They're there; they have to be.

She forgets that she can't leave her body, that she's stuck in the flesh, and she cries and rubs until she's red trying to leave, and Joel comes over and holds her until she's safe. (she breaks down once outside, and Pearl finds her; they don't talk about it, but they both know. Pearl forgets she can fall sometimes)

I just think that Gem is so angsty with this power, and as a girl who loves angst I’m absolutely devouring,

of course pearl goes for the one who hurts her, she hurt herself to make her soulmate suffer, so of course shes going to find one who will hurt her, who will kill her without remorse. and isnt that all it takes to want to be friends? they want to be friends so bad, they want an alliance! even when pearl was being killed by gem, gem said she could stop it. even after gem killed her TWICE. and they have one! the murderous duo on that camel, in their red skins fighting everyone who isnt allied to them but then everyone else dies, and its just them. they have no choice to be against each other. they have no choice but to fight, because its mounders and scar against the band, theyre all thats left. gem is so sad when she agrees with pearl that, no, she doesnt want to do this. they have to fight and they KNOW it. but. even when they ARE fighting, they dont target each other. its teammates being picked off first. they have their moment of looking at each other, of bows being ready to be drawn, and shaking their head, no. they dont want to do this. but fate forces their hand, they HAVE to fight, because their teammates are dead, their alliances are dead and its only them. its only them and scar and pearl wants scar to win, more than she wants gem to. pearl chases her down, yelling that gem is making her do this while gem argues that shes not making pearl do anything, so close to another fight, except it was gem hunting pearl down that time except this time its "What are you doing?! We were friends!" "I don't know Gem, I don't know!" i truly believe that if grian hadnt taken as many hearts from gem as he did, if gem had killed scar instead of gem being killed by him... that pearl would have given herself over to gem. oh, shed have gone down swinging im sure, but gem is better at PVP, and pearl... she didnt want to win! she wanted her friends to win. and without her mounders, without scar... it would have been her and gem, after everything they'd been through. and gem could have taken all three of her lives and it is DESTROYING me

Workout For Daily Life

When you're a kid/teenager everyone expects you to base your career around your passions and interests and that works for a lot of people but it's not the full story. I wish they would also teach students to consider the lifestyle that career would require.

Like... if I had to choose a passion and work a career around it, I would probably work at a zoo or aquarium. But those jobs require a lot of schooling with STEM classes (which I hate) and a lot of early mornings (which make me feel ill) and an obligation to work in person with no flexibility to move (which makes me depressed). So even if I'd enjoy caring for animals all day, it's not a good career path for me.

My current job is travel writing, which is not my passion. I like it, but it's not my passion. But I work a flexible schedule, I can live anywhere, I get a travel stipend, and my team is really chill. So it works for me.

Rather than solely focusing on "What topics do you like?" I think we should ask students "Of the careers that suit your preferred lifestyle, which are the most interesting?"

sooooo saying that gem is still stuck in the murder camel is tecnically canon right because wl!gem is VERY clearly not over anything that happened in the secret life finale
