Me studying for my math exam like
the folklore studies students
telling stories on long winter nights
a reverence for information passed down from generation to generation
the original grimm’s fairytales on your bookshelf
being fascinated by oral forms of storytelling
fighting to have the importance of folklore traditions recognized, rather than dismissed
the warmth of human conversation
comparing various communities and cultures
a love for the art of storytelling
understanding the importance, through context, of seemingly trivial traditions
studying anthropology and literature to supplement your work
the gentle flickering of a candle flame
appreciating the whimsical details of life
folklore as a vehicle for reflecting on the world
analyzing the messages behind myths and fables
the power of cultural heritage to counteract oppression
a stack of folklore anthologies with your favorite pages marked
finding deep significance in a simple legend or story
wanting to make folk culture and traditions more widely recognized and understood
examining the many different versions of a single tale
a fascination with all forms of communication and expression
everytime I come across the name of an ancient book and "(lost today)" i lose one year of my life
Can we just normalize breaking down over the library of Alexandria ? That stuff hurts deep ngl
oh and racists
I've never seen a cishet dark academic bitch like are yall real??? honestly??? are you hiding from us???? I promise we don't bite, we're busy chewing the homophobes and transphobes
currently absorbed into (at least) 3 fandoms because of my obsession with David Tennant
hahahaha so i ended up not sleeping at all. stress and energy drinks dont mix well. welp i guess ill start day 4 early. its 5 am rn so i can get a lot of stuff done!!
3/100
for some reason this day felt like 3
so i woke up and started taking astronomy notes
watched motivational clips only cause i was feeling pretty down
tried to make a to do list but i didnt manage to do much. I argued with my mom and that truly killed my mood to do anything, so i just took a nap
after the nap i went out
and when i came home i wrote a poem and submitted it for a magazine!!! I am actually pretty nervous about this one, its the first time doing anything like this
also i had some pretty neat ideas for the plot of a story im working on so i wrote them down
anyways now im just sitting in bed cause i got a sharp pain on the side. it doesnt phase me that much its just annoying at this point
i might try to read something before going to bed, it's 2 am and i doubt i can sleep
tomorrow im getting the exam results, i think ill share them and my thoughts on it :D
Just stumbled across #100DOP and thought it was neat. So yeah, starting today I will be doing it cause otherwise, I will not do anything and just waste time
This is an entry I suppose?
- My name is Timotheos, but usually, it's just Tim or Timmy
- he/it/they pronouns
- Dark academic with a lot of chaotic energy
- Vintage clothes. Yes. Very much. Please.
- I love studying, reading, and doing research in general
- In the summer I want to learn French, start learning Russian
- Astronomy and Astrophysics nerd
- I have exams on the 22 and 24 of June so, unfortunately, I will only study for them until then
- Cedric Villani reminded me of my love for maths (I feel like that needed to be specified)
Everytime i feel an epiphany coming i have to seriously question myself if I want to let it in. I like the thrilling sensation of being on the verge of a realization, but not allowing yourself to see it fully yet, with no rational reason. I consider myself a hopeless romantic for the pursue of knowledge, forever cursed to linger on the edge between knowledge and ignorance, all this for a couple momens of what seems like eternal bliss, knowing I could know but choosing not to, just so i can feel it again someday.
Tim | it/they/he | INFJ | chaotic evil | ravenclaw | here for a good time not for a long time
