good evening to girls who are half tree, guys who’ve died twice, guys that have been dead for seven years, bisexuals who are possessed by a forest, gays that can take objects out of their dreams, guys that make you hold a robotic bee in a pit, dead welsh kings, psychic moms, latin teachers that have been framed for murder, boys without internal organs, hit men that read anglo-saxon poetry, and declan

That reminds me of that one infuriating post that was like “if you don’t understand an academic paper, it probably means it was poorly written”…. Besties, romans, countrymen, if you don’t understand an academic paper it’s probably because it was written for a handful of experts in the very specific subfield for which it is relevant, and as someone who is almost certainly NOT one of those handful of experts it’s not in your realm of immediate comprehension. In many (most? all?) fields if you take even one step to the left of your scope of research you’re going to end up spending a lot of time catching up on context. Shockingly, this is because there’s a lot of information out there in the world, and you don’t know all of it. That doesn’t make you stupid, or the author stupid. No one has to be stupid in this scenario. This is a process called learning, just chill on it
