“I stopped believing there was a power of good and a power of evil that were outside us. And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are. All we can say is that this is a good deed, because it helps someone or that’s an evil one because it hurts them. People are too complicated to have simple labels.”— Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass (via quotespile)
Anyway… did y’all try the critical thinking I thought the critical thinking was lovely
So something that I’ve thought about it the past like 3 years, is that skam is so real bc it shows the different POVs. IE Eva’s POV shows Jonas as kinda a douchebag but isaks POV shows Jonas as a good friend. noora in her own pov is rational and smart and a great feminist however from sana’s pov, noora can be ignorant and rude about Islam and war/peace. From isak noora and evas pov Sana is cold and uptight and emotionless but during sana’s season we see her inner conflict and her true emotion and why she hides it. I guess nooras quote is right. People do go through things we’ll never really understand ourselves
Eid is a holiday that marks the end of Ramadhan. Saturday is the last day of Ramadhan and I’d like to break the fast with all the people I love. Lots of food, a chill atmosphere and only good people.
For crocs sake, man. I just got done suffering over skam italia now y’all are telling me to get ready to suffer in french too???
I’m glad that Lucas and Eliott are representing gay culture right by not sitting on chairs
the lake is frozen over. people are ice skating and sledding. your cousin asks if you are cold without a coat. you tell her you haven’t been cold in several winters
a guide to exploring abandoned farms
- essential supplies include: plenty of food and water, a change of socks, a hat, rope, bandaids, a knife, gloves, an acorn in your pocket, and an offering
- there are always odd noises on the farm. half of them come from the animals
- try to forget what the lake looks like between the hours of three and four AM
- never ever find yourself alone in the milking shed in the south end of the farm. time passes differently there
- if you happen to hurt yourself in your exploration, make sure you do not bleed onto the dirt
- bring plenty of water, you do not want to drink from there
- the cows will watch you, this is normal
- close every gate you open, even if the fields are empty. don’t ever leave one open behind you, just trust me
- beware unstable rocks, the cracks tend to be filled with insect nests
- bring a weapon with you, but no guns
- if you see someone else while exploring, never tell them your name. you can never be sure if they are real or not, and further out you go, the less real they will seem. the patupaiarehe have evolved in cruel and unusual ways
- do not go inside the empty share-milkers cottages, whatever you do, do not go inside. something else lives there now
- a tree with the undersides of its leaves showing mean that a storm is coming. a tree with no leaves means the storm has already come
- sometimes the hills look like they’re moving. be aware of this, because some things don’t like to be disturbed
- do not sleep under the full moon, in fact, just don’t sleep on the farm
- finding skulls is normal, only become worried when you start finding ribs
- if you find yourself lost in a forest, continue walking in a straight line until you are free again. the trees may make it look as though you are going in circles, but i promise you’re not. ignore the soft music you can hear
- your phone won’t work out here
- the ghosts from the land wars won’t harm you, but be sure to show them respect
- don’t take anything from the farm with you when you leave. just be grateful you have made it out alive
the forest has many sides. not all are kind.
How to Befriend the Monster Under Your Bed
Befriending the monster under your bed has always been a risky affair. You either do it right or you die. Follow the tips below to increase your chances of friendship.
- Read bedtime stories to your monster.
- Offer food once in a while.
- In some cases your monster might be aggressive; show dominance. I suggest you pick up ’How to Cook the Monster under Your Bed’ by notorious monster serial killer Dave Harley, and put it on your nightstand. Visit the HGK477 library and ask Bob. He knows where to find it.
- Do not look directly into its eyes. Ask for permission first.
- If you notice that your closet door is opened, move out of the room, you won’t be able to handle two of them.
- Talk to the monster.
- Some monsters only read dreams and don’t understand the human language. Increase the chance of you having a monster friendly dream by visualizing yourself doing something nice with the monster until you fall asleep.
- Leave an arm, any arm, dangling from your bed.
- If pitch black shadows darker than dark creep up on the walls, leave immediately. It’s not your room anymore.
- Clean underneath your bed for them.
- If your bed starts to shake violently, stop. Try again tomorrow.

Rules For Ghost Hunting and Such For People Who Do Not Normally See Them
1. As someone who sees ghosts, I advise you to completely cover your skin, including ankles, hands, and your face. Except for your ears and eyes.
2. Do not ever cover your ears. You will need them to hear.
3. Do not speak aloud. Instead, focus on a mental connection. Ghost don’t like voices, and some latch onto you this way.
4. Always remember Rule 2.
5. Once they are open to you, you are open to them.
6. Experiences tend to be few and far in between. My first visual was at five, then ten, and then an unsettling amount of presences and mishaps at 15. If you are constantly seeing one, it is most likely tracking you.
7. If you have read this guide in the hopes of figuring out how to permanently get rid of a ghost, sorry. The most I know to tell you is to very clearly and loudly state they are not welcome here. This is most effective if you’ve never spoken to them before. Watch out for more tailing behind.
8. If you see a young girl named Victoria with a mangled leg, get the hell out of there and get a friend to tell her to leave. A tall man with no face may come for revenge. Prepare yourself.
9. Always be prepared.
10. A phone is more effective than a radio or walkie talkies if you want a buffer or distraction.
11. Stay calm and be firm. Fear is easily manipulated.
12. Your feet are the most vulnerable part of you. Make sure you can run fast and move nimbly.
13. Developing ghost tend to hide under things and in shadows. Avoid that.
14. You really shouldn’t be ghost hunting.
15. Remember Rule 5. It is the most vital thing to know.
16. It is not always plausible to close yourself from the supernatural once you are open to it. Most chose to open themselves. Ones like me are born without a choice.
17. Do not imagine anything in particular about a ghost. You will warp the connection.
18. Stay focused on your objective.
19. Everything has an objective and a personality. Observe it.
20. Do not let them touch you. You may feel them, but if you see them attempting to touch you, break the connection. They may touch you before you see them and that is less dangerous.
21. Breaking a connection is not easy without another person who doesn’t feel it. Screaming and motion can help.
22. Footsteps when you are alone is not something to be ignored.
23. The best protection is a non-believer, or someone the ghost has decided Unnecessary.
24. Avoid anything that feels off or malicious.
25. If you saw something, you most definitely saw something. Don’t disregard it.
26. Under no circumstances, should you panic. Period.
27. Do not expect a ghost to deem you Necessary. It is usually better to be left alone.
28. Ghost mostly appear in white and black. Watch out for colors.
29. If you’re colorblind, do not go alone.
30. Going alone makes you both more vulnerable and more open.
31. Most ghost will stare at you. If you can’t feel that, leave. Just leave.
32. You can always move. Even when you are frozen in fear. Do not allow them to render you motionless.
33. Most ghosts are tied to a location, usually a house.
34. Trust your instincts. The connection generally defies logical thinking and the ghost will attempt to push you towards certain decisions.
35. Do not let fear taint you.
36. Banging, footsteps, scuttling, and whispering are common noises for ghosts and such.
37. Avoid small areas.
38. Avoid rooms with too many dangerous or sharp objects.
39. Bullets do not work.
40. Do not bring any weapons beyond a heavy stick. Even that can be ill-advised.
41. Make sure clothing is form fitting. No holes, no gaps, no open zippers. Jackets are a good idea.
42. If you find yourself in a verbal conversation with a ghost, be prepared for anything. Even death. Most will not speak.
43. Powerful ones can bounce thoughts back and forth through the connection. The best thing to do is to project your thoughts at the ghost and narrate the situation.
44. Remain in control. If a ghost attempts to take control, sever the connection.
45. The more stuff you meddle in, the more stuff that can come at you. Everything is complicated and most likely, harmful. Do not strike deals or make promises.
46. Staircases are very vulnerable. Avoid ones without handrails. You will eventually have to go down if you go up and ghost can make sure you fall.
47. Remember Rule 24, Rule 25, and Rule 34.
48. Windows and doors can be locked. I advise smashing windows if locked in and avoid rooms without them.
49. Not once I have ever encountered a ghost where it was above a cool temperature.
50. Do not follow a ghost anywhere. Water, ice, underground, forest, and anything above the first floor or flammable is a trap. Do not allow them to herd you into one either.
