Just A Small Rant. School. My Major That Im Taking Is So Predominantly Chemistry And Im Not A Chemistry

Just a small rant. School. My Major that I’m taking is so predominantly chemistry and I’m not a Chemistry major/minor. I have to take 5 different chemistry classes, all of which have a lab require with them which makes it 10 classes I have to get done to graduate.

Let me just say, that ain’t happening and I’m going to be here for 8 years at this rate for a Bachelors degree. Chemistry just does not click in my brain, I hate it, half the stuff I’m learning and I’m going to learn don’t even apply to what I’m going to do career wise. Believe me, I understand how important chemistry is for the world in general, but I’m not going to be working with chemicals. The most I might be doing is looking through a microscope to look at blood and that’s it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful I can even still go to school, but I don’t want to waste my time on doing my GE’s, doing other sciences that aren’t related to my field. Give me my Major classes, teach me how to get my foot in the door of my career, and get me out of school. I’m not trying to worry about if I’m not going to graduate on time just because of almost failing classes that I have no interest in, like Political Science. (No offense to anyone with a passion for politics, it’s just not my interest.)

I say small rant because I could go on about this for hours. I could probably write an essay about this and still not feel any lighter, but I really want this career, so I just have to push through it. Doesn’t mean I can’t complain about it along the way though.

So, I just got a really bad sunburn at the beach recently. It’s been a long time since I’ve been burned that badly, and it made me think about whump OBVIOUSLY. I think I have a problem, lol.

Imagining a Whumpee getting a punishment where they have to be strapped down or tied up outside in the direct sunlight so that they get burned all day long until the sun goes down. Especially with how hot it’s been recently, being stuck in 100+ degree weather is not fun. Of course that’s whumpy enough, but what got me thinking about it so much was the recovery.

You have to deal with your hot skin and feeling sore all over. Especially if Whumper is merciless and doesn’t allow you to have creams and lotions to care for the burns. Your skin peeling everywhere, it might even be painful to peel if Whumpee has open wounds or scabs. Feeling very itchy within the first week of recovery and having to fight the urge to scratch otherwise your skin will burn and sting. Imagining Whumper yanking on Whumpees hair when their scalp is burned and sensitive.

Maybe it wasn’t a normal world like Earth either, or a non-human/immortal Whumpee. Having a world that has two suns could make it worse. Maybe Whumpee is highly sensitive to sunlight and their skin is capable of burning off their body. What if that planet on very specific days gets exposed to flares from the sun that can actually get past the atmosphere layers. Just a scorching hot planet where if you walk on your bare feet, your skin will melt and peel away.

Whumper might actually appreciate the recovery process because it gives them chances to develop a bond with Whumpee through rewards and gentle care that they only get after taking punishments. Or they can use it as a way to inflict more pain. Taking Whumpee a cold ice bath or even a steaming hot one can hurt their skin a lot. Scrubbing away at the dead skin with a harsh scrubber or a file of some sort.

Is it obvious I hate sunburns?

Did I make a comic snippet of @oddsconvert a taste of your own medicine because I’m desperate for more Izaak whump and I’m waiting patiently for more chapters… yes. I’ve also never drawn in a comic style before so that was fun. Also the first panel with a grin is a reference from Pinterest, but I can’t find the source, it’s somewhere there.

(P.S.: Realized I didn’t add his stubble 🫣 its there now)

This was supposed to be a really quick, fun sketch of Kane de Sang from @whumpsday Kane & Jim series. It in fact did not turn out to be a simple sketch and I got a little carried away. I’m too tired to shade it but maybe I will later, anyway, I’m obsessed with the story and Kane low key breaks my heart sometimes when he begs. This is a scene from Sunrise #9.

Seriously though, I love this! This is probably how my OC's would feel if they could talk to me, thinking that I actually have a story when really I just want to see them hurt a bit.

OC: "Hey so um, I've been through a lot of pain and trauma already, when is the plot going to move more towards the story?"

Me: "Oh... you thought there was more to this story? Hate to break it to you, but you're in for the long haul buddy. I haven't decided if this is Hurt/Comfort or No Comfort yet."

"You're w-wasting your time, Whumper," Whumpee said, looking straight into Whumper's eyes. Their breath was erratic. "I don't know anything a-about it."

Whumper smiled, gently touching their hand to Whumpee's bruised cheek. "You think I'm doing this for information, huh?"
