this reminds me of one time in AP Language
last quarter in my AP Lang class, my teacher asked "ok class, let's separate these sentences into its subject and main verb." (it was a two part activity, we were supposed to find the subjects of each sentence in a paragraph and then find a pattern. we never got to the "find the pattern" part that day)
it was getting increasingly obvious that most of my class forgot what a verb was. he asked people to point out a verb in a sentence, and some people said adjectives, nouns, or adverbs instead.
so he spent the entire hour reteaching the parts of speech lol.
an improv show that begins with asking the audience for one word prompts but as it progresses it becomes increasingly clear that they’re just testing the audience members on which parts of speech they know
had a thought again:
again, spoilers for PMD: Gates to Infinity, and cw: death
When the player left the pmd world, everyone was supposed to forget they even existed. That's how human departures from the pmd world seem to work, at least with how Hydreigon explained it. Everyone in Paradise remembering is an exception.
So:
The previous humans probably made companions before they died, companions who can't even remember them.
is the memory wiping thing only a PMD World → Human World thing? CAUSE IF NOT, those humans' friends and families ALSO would've forgotten about them when they disappeared (maybe until they came back dead? Maybe their memories would come back?)
What happens to the evidence of their existence? (e.g. photos, literally anything they themselves made, etc.) Does it stay? Do people just wake up one day and find that their nightstand has a framed photo of them with some kid that resembles them that they've never seen in their life?
What about when that human inevitably comes back dead? If they never get their memories back, how would they feel if that person who suddenly showed up in their photos was right in front of them, crushed to death? And if they do get their memories back, that's heartbreaking. A dead person shows up, and you suddenly remember the time you spent with them, and the time you spent mourning their loss all at once.
thinking about pmd gti again
cw: death, also spoilers for Gates to Infinity
so like, it's explicitly stated that the protagonist wasn't the only human brought to the PMD world by Hydreigon. There were others. Countless humans who were "defeated" by Kyurem and "sent back to the human world."
Given how Kyurem was beating the absolute shit out of the protagonist, only sparing their life because the partner stepped in...
I think it's more than safe to assume Kyurem killed those humans.
Those yellow lights floating in the sky are dead bodies. Dead bodies being sent back to the human world.
Countless people in the human world have disappeared, only to later turn up dead, and you were about to become the next victim. And if Kyurem did finish you off? There would be even more victims.
Countless people from the human world were killed, it wouldn't be too surprising if those deaths made international news. A person disappears, and some time later, they come back stomped to death.
Imagine the protagonist goes back to the human world to snack on some ice cream or something, and while scrolling through their phone, they find some people talking about it online.
How horrifying must it feel to know that you were just one step (sorry) away from facing the same fate? I wouldn't be surprised if the protagonist had nightmares of Kyurem beating the shit out of them every night.
But it's not just Kyurem's fault. Hydreigon kept bringing more and more humans to die. Sacrificing who-knows-how-many people from a completely different world just to try to save his own. Honestly surprised the protagonist doesn't have any hatred towards him (or maybe they're really good at hiding it).
might be good material for an angst fanfic tho
mine's still like this, for some reason.
the reason tumblr live is gone is that i put my actual age, and tumblr says im too young for tumblr live, so it's just gone. (i did this on purpose)
i guess they just don't update the bottom bar if youre too young? wouldn't doubt it

(my ps4 controller needs to charge, so using my gcn controller instead)
dreamed that kindergarten nap was called sleep class and everybody went to sleep including the teacher. if you were awake it would get a little bit foggy outside and grey and cloudy, and these guys would start approaching the classroom from behind the tree line (forgive my shitty phone drawing)
and they were at least a story tall, some of them were taller, you could see their legs over the trees. they would approach very slowly. this one (the one i drew) had a name for some reason, his name is kick.
before i was totally awake my brain conjured a meme of a bunch of these guys approaching from the treeline and a child watching from the window with the caption “when you the only one awake in sleep class 😂😳😏”
I love inspect element
that write a homestuck fanfic openai screenshot is probably real because if you edit the text it unhighlights it
highlighting text, famously something a human cannot do manually
