if you’re an adult that works with kids of any age do me two quick favors:

  • learn the symptoms of adhd and autism and their presentation in all genders. you dont have to be an expert, just know a bit about it beyond popular knowledge.
  • learn to recognize signs a kid is being abused in any way. beyond bruises and black eyes. learn to recognize the fearful apologies and hesitation. do some research.

do me these two favors and save tens of lives.

that’s no exageration either. after teaching my mom basics about mental disorders, she started spotting neurodivergent kids in her classrooms and helped them get help. almost every child she’s helped has been diagnosed with the disorder she predicted and none of them would have been diagnosed at a young age without her help. knowing this stuff matters.

learn. save lives. don’t make kids grow up in fear of their symptoms and family.

The most unrealistic part of beauty and the beast is when belle is reading shakespeare to beast and she’s sitting down and reading it out in a soft sighing way and beast is like “ahhh so nice” everyone knows that a real lit nerd would read shakespeare by standing on a chair while screaming and crying, where is my scene where belle teaches beast how to read shakespeare but she’s yelling and beast is roaring and she’s like “GATHER STRENGTH FROM THE BUTTOCKS, CLENCH AND FEEL THE RHYTHMS IN YOUR H E A R T YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE YOUR SOUL TO THE BARD” and beast fucking trashes the room and breaks a chair and she grabs his snarling face like “YES, YES YOU FEEL IT” and all the servants are watching in confusion while they’re screaming verses at each other saying “I guess it’s love??”

How did Hanamaki and Matsukawa get dubbed as the ‘meme couple’? Can someone, like, point me toward chapters/episodes where their behaviors would imply as much? Or just describe stuff that happened? I never paid much attention to Seijou (I never really got past thinking Oikawa is annoying in many, many ways and then was always pissed at Kyoutani when he showed up; unpopular opinion, I know; please don’t kill me) and am genuinely curious as to how this came about.

So, uh. Would people be receptive to a haikyuu tech startup au? Cuz like. I can totally see Kuroo and Kenma forming a startup (Kuroo is an engineer you can’t stop me hoho) like for video games or something. And Tsukki gets a degree in computer science or embedded systems or something and Kuroo catches wind of this and is like HEY TSUKKI WANNA JOIN OUR STARTUP and Tsukki doesn’t really have anything better to do (and Yamaguchi is like DO IT I HAVE APP IDEAS) so he’s like yeah sure and it turns out that he and Kenma work really well together. (Maybe we can complete the rebellious hip youngster trio and get Kunimi in on this too, I dunno.) Kuroo, while a genius, is constantly breaking their build or introducing bugs because he keeps making careless mistakes like forgetting to null check or something. And Kenma and Tsukki eventually learn to just assume it’s Kuroo if there’s a major bug. (There’s a git command called ‘git blame’ and it lets you see who made what changes to the codebase and well they don’t really need to use that anymore.) And like Yaku and/or Daichi get in on this because Kuroo probably roped them into it. Yaku does more UI stuff or something. Daichi helps with process flow. Maybe he sets up a continuous integration server and manages the build. Idk but he and Yaku also seem like they could be engineers too. They pull in Yamaguchi for beta testing because he gives really good feedback and he’s always like “so when you have the time I have this app idea” and they eventually get this huge backlog of potential projects and work on multiple things at a time. Actually they use Bokuto for beta testing too because they wanna make sure their stuff is user friendly. Bokuto is no idiot, but he’s not good with technology so he’s a decent representative for the “common man” (also he wants to help his friends out because he’s a good guy like that). Also probably Lev and Hinata do that too. Akaashi eventually helps them out with like business/legal stuff (maybe he eventually teches himself to code and helps out with development or unit/functional testing or something; to me he’s the type of guy that can go into whatever field he wants and be successful- he’s smart and adaptable like that). I could go on but this is already long and I’m really sorry if there’s some jargon in here that makes no sense but I’ve been thinkin about this and had to get it out.
