Finally! my best attempt at making my own style of TF, started with a bumblebee mix of tfa, tfp and g1!Bumblebee must have for his design: friend shape
Why do parents always assume their kid is lazy when they get bad grades? Like maybe help your kids by talking to them, not punishing them. This is how I failed math and didn’t even know I had number dyslexia for years.
When my sister was in high school she struggled a LOT with math. Like I know a lot of people find it really difficult (myself included), but I mean she was really really bad at it. She has always been a very smart, creative and sensitive person, but math made no sense to her, to the point where passing seemed impossible.
I will always remember that twice a week, around the kitchen table, my sister would sit down with my dad for hours, and they would try to work out her math homework. I should mention that my dad is an artist, and art teacher. Truth be told I think he struggled with math just as much if not more then she did. But twice a week you could hear them downstairs, going back and forth, trying to figure it out together. Some nights would be smooth and easy, some nights I could hear them arguing from one floor up about factors or equations, not in anger but in mutual frustration.
I remember the day that she passed. My sister couldn’t wait until my dad’s school day ended, so she called him at work. She gleefully announced to him “I got a D-!”. We could hear him through the phone as he exclaimed “She got a D!” excitedly to his class. Still through the phone we heard his students clapping, laughing and whooping in congratulations. Seldom has a grade in our household been so celebrated.
Just thought a shitty picture like this should be accompanied by a story about a person’s parents who actually gave a shit about helping their kid instead of mocking and punishing them.
Read the story
A D is considered passable, this is downright saddening and cruel.
Help your kid to understand, not punish them.
I had so much trouble with maths, especially with my algebra. It was downright torture to try and understand it, but my dad always took the time to help and encourage me. He even praised me for trying despite most of it going over my head. And when I came home with a D for the end of the term grades, he congratulated and told me I did my best. I cannot help but feel proud despite how hard it had been.
Agreed. At my old school I was struggling with my grades badly because A) I couldn’t understand what my teachers were teaching me, B) I couldn’t see the board or my books cause I didn’t have glasses yet and C) I had just lost my best friend and my aunt so I was really struggling emoitonally so I missed a lot of school. I failed all of my classes before I moved to my new school and I still missed a lot of school there but I could understand the teachers and I now had glasses and I was going to therapy.
I just got my grades in the mail yesterday and I had a passing grade of mostly Ds, D+s and Cs with a B here and there.
When I got the help I needed from my Ma and step-dad, my grades went up and I did so much better in school. My parents didn’t punish me for failing, they helped fix the problem.
All parents should do that for their children instead of worsening the problem.
houses with cats that don’t have toys everywhere creep me out in the same way as houses with kids that don’t have toys everywhere
okay i thought it was clear from context but apparently i should have been more careful about using the word “stuff” instead of “toys”
no cat beds
no cat trees
no cat tents
no crinkle tunnels
no scratching posts
no scratching pads
just nothing, anywhere, that indicates that a cat lives there, except maybe a litterbox from skymall that looks like a potted plant and an autofeeder tucked somewhere discreet
obviously not every cat goes bonkers for catnip mice and kicker fish and little bell balls but
anything? anything at all?
i was going to specify “weirdly sterile houses” but i didn’t because i’ve also seen this with semi-functional adults who grew up in one of those weirdly sterile houses
they grew up in a house where the cat was declawed and there was a vase on the counter with a rotating cast of betta fish and none of their toys were allowed to leave their room, assuming they weren’t collectible toys kept under glass.
then they moved out and got older and they end up with a cat but they don’t really know what to do with it. it doesn’t occur to them to buy things for the cat because they grew up in a house where the cat didn’t have things. cats just sort of sleep and eat and that is what cats do. sometimes when you feel like it you drag some string around and see if they’ll chase it. there’s none of the weird sterility their parents had but they don’t seem aware of pets as having needs or wants of their own, independent of pure survival. litterbox, food, water. they prefer cats because they wouldn’t want to have to walk a dog. people who ‘spoil’ their cats are crazy, they think, because cats don’t need all that. they know, because they grew up with cats, and their cats were perfectly happy, they will rush to assure you. it’s just that cats are all a little bit terrible, really, and a cat will never love you as much as you love it, and that’s just what cats are like, and if you think otherwise you’re just one of those cat owners, imagining things—not like this practical cat owner, who knows better
so i guess ultimately the creepiness in both cases comes from the same place, which is “this person fundamentally misunderstands what it is to be responsible for another living being because this is all they have ever known, and they have chosen to respond to more positive examples with scoffing accusations of softness, because to do otherwise would be to acknowledge the wrongdoings of the past”
This is why we spoil the fuck out of Godzilla and why his nickname is ‘His/Your Royal Highness’.
Long time no post! I’ve been crazy busy with my new internship and job and preparing for a convention in July, so I haven’t had time for any artwork on here lately. But I am enjoying what I’m working on while at my internship!
Anyway, here’s a humanformer Rodimus because I still love my boy. Maybe if I have time I’ll draw a Minimus with him c:
OOOH HE BE LOOKIN’ LIKE A SNACK
Me: *sees notification on Wattpad then glares at phone* Ya flithy liar, why didn’t ya notifacate me.
Phone: *buzzes and Wattpad notification shows*
Me: -_-.
Me: You are a very lucky phone right now
Ppl be like “ I want an actual male gem, not just Steven.”
Jeez, it’s like having only one character
to represent your whole gender
in a group composed all of another gender
is a bit upsetting huh?
I wonder
what
that’s like
no really
can you
even imagine
what this lack of representation
MUST
FEEL
LIKE
This
post
isn’t
long
enough
none of the listed shows are named after the one female character, either
it’s actually physically impossible for me to not reblog this post.
I want to say I’ve reblogged this before, but I’m reblogging again for the brilliant addition of, “None of the listed shows are named after the one female character, either” because FUCKING THANK YOU.
mmmmmhm.
Every time I reblog this, there are new shows on the list.
Wow
it’s almost
as though
this happens
almost constantly
But normally you don’t notice, because it’s not about you.
If I stop rebloging this, assume that I am dead
Which is another reason why Scooby-Doo is better than the shows
TFP
DECEPTICONS- One girl out of maybe ten twelve main characters, Arachnid
AUTOBOTS- One girl out of eight main characters, Arcee
Human Kid- One girl out of three people, Miko
Human adults- One of the two was a woman, June Darby.
Huh. HUH. SADLY EVERY TRANSFORMER’S SHOW IS LIKE THAT. AND IF THERE IS A GIRL THERE BADASS BUT EITHER ALONE OR NOT GIVEN MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
Huh HASBRO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Hence why J-Ro is great when he included Nautica and Velocity to MTMTE/LL along with Lug and Anode.
