Tests - Tumblr Posts
Oh thank you, i like doing stuff like this <3
And sorry, I really don't know who to tag :')
Do this picrew and take this uquiz.
I don't know how my result changed from last time I took the quiz... but I'm going to blame it on the fact that I picked Supernatural as my fandom, because that is a pretty good description of Dean Winchester. And I am just him. Although granted, not in any of the ways described. In all the bad ways.
Thank you for tagging me, @thehistoryone! I'm tagging @70snasagay, @randosfandos, @ven10, @thetreetzar, @cat-boy-tom, @weirdthoughtsandideas, and @roach-in-the-kitchen. Woo!
continuation to yesterday's post. here's all the stuff i've made in flash (that survived. i delete half the stuff i make because it SUCKS!!!)
the audio (which was a test anyway) is missing on the back away one as i'm too lazy to go into settings and set my flash version lower than 5 so it can export to .mov. i'll drop the swfs if anyone (no one) wants them though
i know the first one looks stupid as hell believe in me guys i'm learning guys guys believe in me TRUST
This is not my week
Basically, I tripped over and scrapped the back of my hand (I was in enough pain already. LITTLE MISS ARTHRITIS DECIDES TO ACT UP DURING A TEST AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY HAND. it was a mock week, where we do mock tests for a big test thing a couple months away, it lasts a week. I tripped and grazed both my knees. I was about to sit down and my friend pulled my chair to I landed on that sensitive spot on your BOOTAY, knocking my elbow in the process. My cold is still here after a month.
At least I'm going to Karen's Diner this weekend
I made another with elf boi - 2demons coming soon :3

Feel free to tag anybody you follow or who follows you too!
exams.
alright so i’ve just finished up my finals and i’ve ended the week feeling like a total piece of shit and a freaking wreck because i didn’t have anybody to give me a slap in the face and tell me to get my act together since everybody i know does the exact same thing as me- procrastinate until the day before the exam and then try not to burst into tears when you can’t decide if you should bubble in answer A or answer C as the answer to “how does ray bradbury utilize paradox in ‘a sound of thunder’”
of course all you peeps on tumblr are incredibly important and with this post, i’d like to provide a bit of knowledge on the importance of studying, prioritizing, and self-care when it comes to your exams.
obviously trying to juggle your looming tests and homework while also trying to balance a social life is difficult. it’s tiring. it’s stressful. more often than not, you want to give up and just watch the office on netflix. we have to make the best of our time.
first thing you should do?
make a time chart ! ! !
timing will save you when it comes to finals. sometimes having so much time after school can be a problem. you don’t know what to do with it, how to prioritize, and how much time you should be spending on a certain task. the overwhelming realization that i can literally do WHATEVER i want with my time usually leads to me choosing to just spend 6 hours on microsoft paint and then realizing it’s 10 pm and i haven’t studied for my AP Euro exam. if you work out a timetable for your after school hours, you’ll be able to allocate a certain amount of time for all of your activities (work, homework, REST, studying, eating !!!, and fun timez). allow yourself to schedule breaks in between all of your activities so that you don’t drop dead after spending three hours reading shakespeare sonnets or trying to memorize the timeline of the french revolution. in these breaks, you can make yourself a snack, binge on rookiemag.com, have a dance party to twenty one pilots (we are blessed to be born in a time period with twenty one pilots). if you feel like any of these things will turn a 10 minute break into a 6 hour one, check out the app nag which alerts you when you’re spending too much time on dan howell’s youtube channel. by creating a timetable, you’ll alleviate a huge portion of stress from your life and feel more organized with how you go about things!
do not allow yourself to get side tracked ! ! !
honestly, think about it. people can live up to what- 60 years? 70 years? you have all the time in the world to go on netflix and watch orange is the new black or scroll down your tumblr dashboard. you don’t, however, have 60 and 70 years to study for exams. you actually only have the few weeks before the actual test. Self Control- also known as Cold Turkey for microsoft users is for anyone that can’t be trusted with an internet connection. you add a list of your guilty pleasure websites to the blacklist and then set how long you want this app to work for you and for that duration of time, you literally will not be able to access any of these websites. you can reboot your computer, uninstall the app, and you still cannot access your blacklist until the time is up. focusbar, an app similar to nag, is basically the annoying mom “have you done your homework?” voice in tech form. this will keep you focused on school; not finding the rarest pepe meme.
sleep ! ! !
sleep is a very big deal. it’s when your body gets to recharge, cool down, and dream about harry styles caressing you in a cafe somewhere beautiful like france. while studying is important, letting your body rest should be a priority too. you cannot prepare for an exam at the height of your potential if you body is not at it’s full potential. on the timetable you create, make a set time for when you will pack up your textbooks, no matter what point you are at, and let yourself prepare for bed. i find that long showers and reading with the lights dimmed really help me get drowsy so that i’m not lying in the sheets awake for five hours.
figure out your preferences ! ! !
not everybody studies the same way. one individual might find themselves getting history a lot better in a dark room with bon iver playing in the background while the other finds themselves really understanding the battle of trafalgar on their porch while jamming 2 ariana grande. figure out if you prefer a dull roar in the background or absolute silence. dim lights or bright lights. study groups or isolation. if you like noise, check out websites like https://coffitivity.com/ to create some background sounds or make a playlist on 8tracks! just remember that how you study might not be how others study and it’s important to personalize your routine so that you’re working at your highest potential.
and most importantly; SELF CARE ! ! !
this is the most important thing in the world. in the end, no A+ or 4.0 GPA is worth your happiness. if you find yourself bursting into tears in the middle of studying or feeling like the world is going to end, you need to stop. that good grade is going to mean nothing if you aren’t happy enough to enjoy it. you might think that an A will make you feel better, that it’ll make all the pain feel worth it, but pressuring yourself that much will make you just feel empty once you get the grade you want because you’ve been drained of any sort of emotion besides stress. do! not! let! yourself! become! a! bomb! take care of yourself. bathe with some radical lush products, light some candles, facetime the most annoying person in the world besides yourself (aka ur bestie)- do anything to get your mind off of school if you’re close to a breaking point. i personally like to play on webkinz while eating pizza (i am an adult i promise).
i hope this helped you amigas chicas. keep these tips in mind and finals will crushed by your awesome studying powers; you will GET that A and feel good while getting it.

the Bechdel test, the Ellen Willis test, ALL THE TESTS: or, a handy guide to feminist critiques of narrative
(reference for when i am trying to explain these to people and they are looking at me like “huh”):
the Bechdel test: does the story have a) more than one women, b) who talk to each other, c) about something other than a man.
the Ellen Willis test: if you flip the genders, does the story still make sense?
the Sexy Lamp test (courtesy of Kelly Sue DeConnick): can you replace your female character with a sexy lamp and still have the story work? if yes, YOU ARE A HACK.
the Mako Mori test: there is a) at least one female character, b) who gets her own narrative arc, c) that is not about supporting a man’s story.
the Tauriel test (which i made up in response to The Hobbit 2 [which passes] and Skyfall [which fails]): a) there is a woman, b) WHO IS GOOD AT HER JOB.
and in justification of my recent TV obsessions, i would like to note that Scandal, The Vampire Diaries, Buffy, and Nikita (ALL HAIL MAGGIE Q) pass all of these tests with flying colors.
UPDATE: i just discovered the Finkbeiner test and it is FANTASTIC.
A Tasting Menu of Female Representation:
The Bechdel:
two or more women talking to each other about something other than a man
The Mako Mori:
at least one female character with her own narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story
The Sexy Lamp:
a female character that cannot be removed from the plot and replaced with a sexy lamp without destroying the story.
Chef’s Specials:
The Anti-Freeze:
no woman assaulted, injured or killed to further the story of another character.
The “Strength is Relative”:
complex women defined by solid characterization rather than a handful of underdeveloped masculine-coded stereotypes.
