Rantam Pretsi
@turpentineAcademia
Academic, Legislacerator-to-be, Pre-law at Alternia State University, 3.75 GPA. She/Her. 149 IQ. https://turpentineacademia.substack.com
Your name is RANTAM PRETSI. You fancy yourself an expert of all things rhetorical and perspicacious, a word which you would say is rather *ubiquitous* in your vocabulary. You like to keep yourself informed on matters of governance and politics, or as you would say, "cubernance and paw-litics." You are a student at ALTERNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, which you claim is a particularly prestigious university, though its 70% ACCEPTANCE RATE would beg to differ. Nevertheless, by getting in, you proved to the populace that you are more intelligent than 30% of ASU's applicants. You care an awful lot about your ACCOLADES, speaking of. On your wall, you have a CERTIFICATE that you competed in a PUBLIC SPEAKING competition, a SCHOOL FEED and GRUBSCHOOL diploma, your LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE from ASU, and your SCHOOL FEED SPELLING BEE FIRST PLACE RIBBON. Tucked inside a CARDBOARD BOX hidden deep in the depths of your CLOSET, is a BOOK OF MONOLOGUES and TOP 100 MUSICAL THEATER SONGS FOR AUDITIONS. Of course, you do not trouble yourself with such childish pursuits. You only concern yourself with things of great ACADEMIC MERIT. After all, you are to be a legislacerator. You must focus on your studies, and your studies alone. Besides your studies, you find yourself enjoying WRITING ESSAYS ON YOUR GRUBSTACK, COMPARING YOUR APPEARANCE TO OTHERS, READING YOUR TRUSTY THESAURUS, and of course, GIVING UNSOLICITED ADVICE TO OTHER TROLLS. ============================================================================== EXTRA NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: rantam is often extremely unpleasant. there will be posts occasionally tagged with "ed" or "edchit"/"edchittr". these will all be posted with the "ed" catch all tag just in case, alongside the site wide cw-self-harm tag as prescribed in the ooc rules. please be sure to block that tag if you are going to follow her and find yourself sensitive to talks of eating disorders, weight comparisons, body checking, etc. rantam has a very unhealthy relationship with her body, and i personally out of character STRONGLY condemn the celebrations of eating disorders that rantam will be posting about. if there is anything else she posts about that makes you uncomfortable, let me know, and i will add a tag if it feels necessary! thank you! <3 other ooc note ! rantam is very uppity and condescending, FEEL FREE TO CHALLENGE HER ON THESE THINGS !!! she's SUPER stubborn and hates it, but I THE WRITER LOOOOVE arguing with others as rantam, so never worry about crossing a line while trying to push her buttons. i like when shes mad. and if ur ever worried if smth is too much when trying to bother her, youre MORE than welcome to dm ooc and ask ! <3 ill probably say yes :) im not easily bothered
Hello ebearyone, I'm back on Chittr. I'm cubsidering spending my newfound free time after this last perigee of *travail* writing a new article for my Grubstack. I've been seriously neglecting it as of late.
Guess what I've been up to. Work. I've been working. I get one relaxing weekend interrupted by tiresome proles, and it's back to the 9-5. Ugh.
Sorry. Vacations Are Needed. Ask Your Employeer Or Boss.
Thank you, I appreciate the sympathies, but I need my internship hours, so unfortunately I must *countenance* it.
Eugh. I'm exhausted. Perhaps I should have never gone to that soiree. My nugbone is pounceing.
Sigh. Well, another day showcasing my many skills. Today: Volleyball. Ebearyone needs a day off, after all. Back to the usual workload on Monday, but for now, I can unwind.
congratulations to the #meenradiabeach volleyball champions! @timaeustestifeline and @culpablyatypical! well played also to runners up @littlecreature and @turpentineacademia !
I try to put myself out there once and suddenly ebearyone on this website decides it's time to pawst their most private and intimate regions in the open for all to see. Great. Just wonderful.
Well then, I suppawse I will show out to the beach party. I'm something of a volleyball connoisseur, so good luck to all other players who may be trying their luck.
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ ╰┈➤ Sometimes the volleyballs speak to me so 𝙸'm on their side
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ ╰┈➤ Do you www.ant to touch lobes and get my lobe cooties to find out @~~~,,,,,,,,@
Do you seriously think I'd waste my highly adept thinkpan by infecting it with whatever parasites are liquefying your own pan?
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ ╰┈➤ Mmgghhhhhh @~,,,@
Eugh. What did I expect? Of course you get off to sponge-eating parasites. Freak.
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ ╰┈➤ fREAK????? @∆,,,,@"
Don't act surprised. That's pawbably the most reserved name I could have called you. Get it together.
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ ╰┈➤ Callme itagain
Hm... Should I attend the beach party? It might be a little juvenile, but my lusus has been insisting I get out more...
7eah! it'll be fun!
@turpentineAcademia Here you go. https://64.media.tumblr.com/2cc47a1fdc54150e77fa9e3996b217df/19e29bebc9520559-12/s1280x1920/43f54bd9116cda0025c74b036e6d7ff736c6630b.png
damn, you're on a roll
pfff, don't sweat it, mate, i'm just enjoying seeing you draw, it's really cool
Ah! This is absolutely darling. Thank you so beary much! This means the world to me.
Not a problem. Your plaits were fun to draw. It's a very interesting hairstyle.
Well then. I am going to attempt to have a peaceful end of my night. I believe I deserve it.
In case anyone was wondering, I do NOT possess any prehensile appendages. All is boilerplate in the Pretsi biology. Not that anyone SHOULD be wondering, to be clear.
<<"i don't think that question even slightly occurred to me, but thanks for confirming, hehe!">>
>https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b1dfe096521d.png >my reaction to that information
Oh, ebearyone on the dash can talk about whatever they want, but the second that little old me participates in the discussion for ONCE instead of (rightfully) stating my displeasure with the *lecherous* state of affairs of this site, it's a problem.
Ebearyone's fucking cubsessed with me.
Ebearybody on this app is a lost cause. Maybe it’d be better off nuked and all users *assertorily* pursued by Imperial Drones.
★re you upset bec★use of your low gp★?
4.0 ★ll throughout.
It's fine if you don't believe me. I'm sure your thing is gre★t too.
My “thing”? My “thing” is pre-law. I’m going to go to legislacerator school, and make more money than you could ever DREAM of. Perhaps your degree in useless *palaver* will save you from being culled one day.
PHD in E★stern ★lterni★n history. Only ★ fool dre★ms of money. We're done here. Good light.
Someone's mad beclaws they chose an unemployable major. Good light, *Doctor.*
I would describe myself as far from exhibitionistic, however I believe social media of all places where a *scintilla* of navel gazing is permitted. With that, I present to the feed, my new profile picture...
Jus7 a genuine ques7ion. You're holding i7 in 7his image. Seems really impor7an7.
Is ebearything you ever hold important to you? Is your palmhusk in your hand really important to you? Are you particubearly fond of your bulge in your other hand?
Yeah, sure, girl. Le7's all be hones7 here. If I chopped off your bulge, you would no7 be happy. If I broke your palmhusk, you would no7 be happy. If I chopped off 7ha7 lock of hair, wha7 happens nex7? Narra7ively. So, 7ell i7 7o me s7raigh7, because I've been 7hinking abou7 7his since I wen7 on break and found 7his righ7 when I couldn'7 respond.
Aw, you've been thinking about me all shift? I'm flattered. I'm afraid it takes a little more than that to *inveigle* me, but I appreciate the thought. To be honest, I can't follow your argument at all. Maybe this is why I see you're working at a casino instead of at a legislacerator practice like the rest of our caste. Shame. Well, maybe not. Say, do you feel particubearly *ebullient* about your casino job?
Girl, fucking shove a knife down your load gaper. You don'7 know shi7 abou7 me or my fucking life so you have no righ7 7o commen7 on shi7 7ha7 you, by 7he way, are s7ill in school for. No7 only are you s7ill in school for i7, you're no7 even a gradua7e; you're in fucking pre-law and you're pos7ing bullshi7 on Chi77r all hours of 7he fucking day. How is your lusus doing, jobless bi7ch?
Did I strike a nerve? I was only asking to strike up pleasantries. Are *you* a graduate? Oh, wait. Sorry. Sensitive topic. My lusus is having a *halcyon* time, I'll have you know, but it sounds like you can't relate if that's the jab you're making. Anyway, Ad Hominem. And Red Herring. Yawn.
People 7hink you're a loser because you ac7 above everyone else, bu7[🍒🍒🍒JACKPOT🍒🍒🍒] you're a loser because you are nobody and when you gradua7e, your life will end.
Riiiight. Let me get this straight-- I don't hold a single iota of care in my pusher for what others think about me, and once I graduate, I'll be making six times your worth as a troll being while you're decomposing on the casino floor at your dead end job. [⌛⌛⌛JACKPOT⌛⌛⌛], you miserable bitch.
Girl, you don'7 have a fucking chin, or you have a double chin. You're hiding i7 behind 7ha7[🍒🍒🍒JACKPOT🍒🍒🍒] lock of hair. Jus7 wai7ing for you 7o admi7 i7.
Really creative. I haven't heard that before. How are those Happy Hour Faygos you need to get through the week treating you? Does that Faygo acid tract fit in your job's standard order tuxedo? Maybe you're just incensed beclaws you're too sober to handle looking at your dead-end life in the eyes. I don't see you pawsting your face online. Don't throw stones in a glass hive.
My dullard hivemate keeps bringing people back to our stem and I can't focus on my hivework. Is she trying to ruin my life? Ugh.
destroy her
Exactly what I've been *excogitating* on, but my lusus insists that we need her to pay half the drone tax or they will kick us out and likely cull us. I must concede that she is pawbably correct, but it aggrieves me so to admit that I must continue to cohabitate with her.
UGGGGHGHHHHH im like ,so annoyed FOR U i hope dat somef'in happpens n u get to somehow take her wealth >8888(
Thank you, at least someone holds empathy for my plight. Perhaps these hopes will becub true if I wish for it hard enough...
Good evening. Has anything neither utterly and mind-numbingly monotonous nor terribly crass occurred tonight?
More like De-bore-uM iMo. i like when bitches get to let their horny freak flags fly personally :o)
Well, many here would be vexed to know the negative side effects of too much dopamine, which I might *propounce* far too many users are becubbing addicted to due to their frequent *prurient* activities.
aDDiction aint no joke but gettin horny on Main aint the cause. ya Dont gotta like it ofc but its a healthy outlet. lots healthier than hoeing arounD with the wrong Motherfuckers yknow?
And how do you know that? Have you done a study on it? With peer reviewed sources? You're using the false dilemma fallacy. One does not have to pawst their lecherous thoughts online for all to see or engage in said libertine actions in person.
ok sMartass Do YOU have stuDies anD sources for YOUR claiM? anD yeah noboDy HAS to be horny but like its FUN anD theres nothin wrong with that
Yes, obviously I do. Just Goregle "Dopamine addiction." Anyone older than 6 sweeps should know how to use their point stumps to type things into Goregle. To be beary clear, I believe that concupiscent activities are necessary for the survival of the species, and permissible (as well as legally required by the empire, unfortunately, but I digress) between consenting adult trolls, but that does not mean I need to be SUBJECTED TO IT while trying to preserve my PRECIOUS dopamine receptors, which many seem to be completely negligent of. Is it a sin to believe that discretion is the soul of desire? I am only stating that it is *tawdry* for trolls to throw about their lascivious desires in a public forum for all to see. It's your prerogative if you wish to be so tawdry. It is my prerogative to state my opinion.
ok DiDnt think youD be snippy about it :o/ agree to Disagree then DaMn
You call me snippy, but YOU called me a "smartass." How *pharisaical.*
iM backin off alreaDy! this shit aint worth it
I'm almost offended that my kull score is that much higher than my kult, but I concede that the average Chittr user is *indecorous,* and I shouldn't take it personally.
do not worwrwy the last thing you want is a high kult because that is a sign that all you do is bow down to the masses and only give them what they think they want but rwule one is the masses do not know what they want only you know what they need and they can suck it it being yourw posts and yourw posts being whateverw you want they arwe all haterws who just do not underwstand
< You musst take a proud sstance on thiss webssite. They are waiting for you to give in even for a ssecond. :>~
*Veracious* assessment, Bysshe. The masses truly are not apprised of what is truly good for them. Alas, they hated the Sufferer beclaws he spoke the truth. Kismet.
Is that so? Ebearyone here seemed rather passive in my appraisal of them. I suppawse not all is what it seems...
And of course, as is *paradigmatic* for this platform, ebearyone feels it is appropriate to enter a de facto competition comparing their heights. How vain and contemptuous.
and i am the idiot with the painted face in the corner taking up space but when he walks in, i am loved, i am loved #lyrics
All ebearyone wants to talk about is quadrants and unspeakable things. Why does nobody ever want to engage in discourse of the economic and political state of the empire?
Show off? Unlike most Chittr users, I don't find pleasure in a false *gasconade.* I didn't go after anyone in particular. I opened up a thread, inviting *cosmopawlitan* exchange among academics. It's not my intention for the less cultured to come running in hopes of embarrassing themselves. That's hardly showing off. It's simply refusing to stoop to a level that would be beneath me.
It's not intentional, of course, but you invite discourse in a place in which it is uninvited. You've already noticed where you're 🗨ING TO ME, ✓? A place where everyone (⒈) wants to complain about quadrant problems, life qualms, the sort. The common denominator is that NO ONE IS TAKING THIS AS SERIOUSLY. That's what makes you the OUTLIER amidst it all. You're expecting intellectuals to attend your every academic Beck And Call but get even frustrated when it isn't responded to. You can't blame me for assuming you're taking an ACADEMIC HIGH GROUND when you seek the SCHOLARS in A CASUAL MEDIA.
Who decided that scholars weren't using Chittr? Clearly I was able to find one troll who takes their academic pursuits seriously, and my sentiment has been echoed by others. Just beclaws ebearyone you see is concerned with matters of the flesh doesn't mean it's ebearyone. Perhaps that just speaks to the community you are cultivating...
Sorry, had to duck (goose) out for a second. I admit that it's myopic to label the entire community as such. YES, INDEED there are some scholars HERE! But I am 🗨ing about the GENERAL PUBLIC. You and I know what this implies! It'd be a singlefaceted way of handling the majority of General People with the standard of the academe——with an expectant, perhaps derisive coldness. That isn't saying that your inputs are unwarranted, but the fact you respond to those who don't share your main intelligence/sentiment with a striking level of CONDESCENSION makes it hard to believe you're only here seeking for an academic conversation. B':oPc I'd really like to hear about the reason behind the original statement, if you DON'T MIND!
My original pawst? My reasoning was like any of the rest of this userbase. To speak my mind and air out my thoughts in a forum of discourse. Curious that you deem it unquestionable that one would be pawsting about carnal desire and mind-numbing substances, but the instant a barrister-to-be wants to discuss matters of the cerebral, it's means for an interrogation. How backwards is that?
Oh, don't worry. I do this to Like, EVERYONE (⒈) ELSE. You can tell me if you want to call it quits. Carnal desires are JUST THAT——DESIRES. Sure, they reveal some information about the person as a whole, but I wouldn't want to SHAME ANYONE for what their pusher beats for. *cough* It's noticeably a different ballgame with you. Your frustration is DIRECTED AT THE GENERAL USERBASE, a functional incendiary. I choose to interrogate you on the behalf of the people you share a space with, the same people you call 'PAN-ROTTED'. That and you have quite a bit of (albeit self-defensive) rhetoric to BACK YOU ↑. I would ♥ to know more about you.
I highly doubt anything I say could shame these people enough that I need to pull my *oratorical* punches. Evidently they lack it in the first place, and seem utterly incapable of acquiring it. *Opprobrium,* that is, if it wasn't obvious. No opinion exists in a vacuum, including opinions related to matters of the pail. Is it so abominable that I critique these structures? I believe it is the burden of the bearer to handle their own shame if my remarks spark any. And perhaps, if I'm lucky, I can be the inspiration for someone to pursue a more sagacious, meaningful way of interacting with the world.
OK, THROWING IN THE METAPHORICAL TOWEL. That's a very strong and fair argument, friend. You've exercised your → to FREE SPEECH, particularly in a way that gets people thinking. (Crowd applause!) (No seriously, I'm REALLY impressed. It isn't everynight you find someone who can stand their ground!) I do want to leave you with this: why do you put yourself in a position of criticizing these people when you evidently have more fortunate circumstances than the majority? Almost everyone here seeks reprieve from outside drudgery and their ↓trodden lives. It's a privilege to even HAVE a space to communicate their desires without judgement. You have, to some extent, disr↑ted that with a contrasting perspective---the outside logic of the world. Don't forget that, of the academic mind, sympathy (or even empathy) should be acknowledged. Even in the courtblock, the defendant's conduct is considered. It pervades our lives. It shouldn't be your job to confront those who frankly don't want to be confronted. Chittr is, in the end, a social space. People want to understand and BE understood, much like what we're doing here, even if it means showing off the most vulnerable organs. They don't want criticism. They want to be seen.
Of course I can stand my ground-- if I am to be a legislacerator in the coming years, I'd be a professional of *exiguous* repute without sufficient *obduracy.* My future profession will not be graded based on my "empathy", it will be based on cold, hard, performance-driven statistics. I must be sufficiently prepared to dispute any battles of the gab hurled my way. I appreciate the recognition though, of course. As for this remark on the nature of Chittr, if they are so sensitive to my words, they can come and debate me, but thus far, other than yourself, who (nobly, admittedly) argues as a proxy for these *hoi polloi*, I have seen no such attempts. They may wish for their vulnerable organs to be seen, but I most definitely do not want to see them, nor do most people, I'd imagine. Nevertheless, I fight a neverending army in a losing battle, this I must sadly admit. I can still try.
