Rant Or Trauma Dump: Overblot Leona Is Relatable As A Student In American Public School

Rant or Trauma Dump: Overblot Leona is Relatable as a Student in American Public School

Will keep this short as possible

Abstract: Leona's trauma = shared trauma but (American) 12th grader student edition. I share my experience. Am I allowed to say it's my trauma when it's just resentment?

Work count: 585

Leona expressed strong resentment at the idea of birth > skill so why r bother trying? Nobody cares. I understood it from a story writing standpoint at first then this came to me and I felt things.

Not sure how common this is around the globe but I went to an American public school for high school/secondary school education (why do I sound like a foreign exchange student haha) and every week of/before homecoming or winter break or some major event, there’s spirit week in which each grade level compete with themed outfits, lunch time activity\games, and assembly games. Win enough points to beat the other grade.

Off topic but my school’s Assembled Student Body have zero creativity for lip sync and themes because why do they keep doing Marvel and Disney? I might as well think we’re sponsored by Disney because we could’ve had HTTYD or Wonder Woman for crying out loud. Also there was a spirit day for “hype beast” in which you wear the high end stuff like Supreme. Well, I was bullied in elementary school for being NOT high income so I held resentment for those things.

Freshman year (9th grade), I did my best but we came in last place. Seniors won. Sophomore year, I felt bad for the freshmen who tried harder than us last year and they lost. Their side was decked out in white, it looked like Big Bear. Seniors won. Junior year, I figured it out it was pointless. Seniors won. Then came our turn. I noticed it. My fellow seniors would not bother trying because they knew they’d win anyway or would cheat the system like raising their hands for points even though they’re not wearing anything spirit (sometimes they be counting shoes). I hated it. I hated it more when the senior favoritism happens before your eyes.

Every winter assembly, there should be a sled race where one player is in a cardboard box and another pulls. Seniors never pull because their box has a giant hole so they can stand up and run to the finish line like a Grinch. I never saw that my senior year. Every assembly ever, there’s supposed to be a clapping game similar to Simon Says. The freshman are always duped on the first “clap” and the seniors don’t even play the game, it’s an applause! A standing ovation even! Even the seniors get to win the lip sync battle every time. Makes me wonder if they could stand in the corner then still win first place. In elective and math (above Algebra 1) classes, you would find mixed grade levels so not sure how much the point-counters scrutinize. They are not nit picky with seniors. If you raise your hand, we don’t check. Below seniors? They check. Yet, I think the cronyism is the main problem.

Seniors don’t need any skill set. They just need to be that class and bam, easy win. Any other class could try as they might and never win. I hated it more when people say, “let them win, they’re graduating.” Might as well give them all passing grades, senior year is the easiest anyways. No worries about senioritis. All the teachers love you because you’re mature baby-adults and about to leave. Hate the freshmen because they’re the hooligans. Let’s bully the freshmen.

Conclusion: Leona is relatable in the birth order > skill set resentment and not trying hard if nobody cares, because of the high school seniors favouritism I witnessed during spirit week.

I love how Jack's face is just >╏0 in both panels.

Revenge is a dish best served cold

I got a very kind note asking why I don't respond to asks on Tumblr anymore, yet they see me chatting on other social media.

I closed down my asks here because they became overwhelming. While I do respond to snippets now and then on Twitter, I sometimes really don't say much for days. In fact, my Twitter settings don't even let me see most of the incoming material. Something I posted went viral the other day and I don't think I saw more than 25 comments on it.

I have a lot left to do on Good Omens and am getting past a long illness. I don't have the energy I need, and am still 1000 emails behind as well.

I wish I could be as entertaining as Neil Gaiman is here, and I don't know where he gets the juice.

Magic man.

I do appreciate all the interest and enthusiasm from everyone, and think it's best if I put my focus on the art and less on talking about it. Talking about it too much drains the power I need to get the art out.

Anyway, I don't think I ever posted this early model sheet of Crowley here. He's so much fun to draw.

Later, I added glasses on the central figure for some promotion art.

to add on. some videos are labeled AMVs for Anime music videos. ... that might also function as edits/ tributes/ Animation music videos.

I'm part of the Hetalia fandom and the MEP side of the fandom are kinda still ongoing? But now using that Gacha Club art style (personally, not my cup of tea). The old style with the stolen art stuff is prolly still going around???

I see open MEP auditions that are 1 year or less young. but a completed MEP with the stolen art type of stuff style that was popular years ago, The most recent is 10 months ago (labeled mini MEP, but i'm counting it).

(part of me wonders if YT algorithms and search results are faulty and not showing me everything, tho.)

I miss people distinguishing between AMVs, PMVs, and animatics. especially the latter two. The amount of times I’ve gone looking for animatics only for PMVs to pop up is incredible

ForeverPlayer is a wonderful roleplayer and actor. His current story arc is going wonderfully in how he's using the sounds and how we are reacting and how everybody else are reacting in character. I want to share something i noticed in his YT channels.

In his Forever Live channel, his 2 recent VODs. "LIVE: QSMP -_ CADE MEU FILHO!_" is the day he starts to break down from the eggs' disappearance and presidential duties. when he starts to lose his mind.

you can not hear the clock tick tock.

Most recent VOD is "LIVE: QSMP -_ TIC… TAC… TIC… TAC….". You can hear the ticking. I was concerned that we wouldn't hear anything in his VOD of that day.

In his Cortes do Forever channel, he has an edited video of his descent to madness day. "EU VOU FAZER TUDO… POR ELE! | QSMP DIA 170"

YOU CAN HEAR THE CLOCK NOISES.

poor lenay keeps falling from high places
