#being a librarian

Imagine just how funny a Discworld's take on NFT would be. Imagine CMOT Dibbler selling badly-drawn pictures of the Librarian via the clacks.

#moist would be so tempted to go back to being a conman after seeing people fall for something this stupid #discworld #gnu terry pratchett #cmot dibbler #discworld librarian

Dream of the Endless would be a great professor, but you know what else he'd be amazing at?

Children's Librarian

Kids are full of stories. He would absolutely love to hear them and help nurture that creativity. The really young ones could be read to and have nap time. Parents would love him. Kids would love him. Hob would love him.

also it would just be really cute 😌

#the sandman #dream of the endless #morpheus #hob gadling #dreamling #maybe he's retired #maybe he's being forced to take a break by literally everyone and shares his Dreaming duties with Lucienne #bonus: Hob becomes a preschool/kindergarten teacher for his next identity and they work together #either in the same school or Hob takes his class to the library once a week #also they're married <3 #children’s librarian dream

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot- #-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd) #damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid. #Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph? #I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!) #and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls! #she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

reason 1927363 that i love the locked tomb characters is because none of them are fucking cool. yes they all have their moments. but all of them are deeply incurably cringe at their core. representation matters yknow? finally someone brave enough to say that lame girls can be protagonists too

#camilla hect is obviously the closest anyone in these books gets to cool #but don’t be fooled!!! she’s a weirdo and a nerd and a librarian and she’s way too busy being obsessed with her boy best friend #to reach any kind of actual coolness #op #surprise I’m making a post lol #I’d say something like ‘sorry guys I’ll try to be more active in the future!!1’ but que será será im not actually in control of when or how #much I post #it just happens when it happens #also this isn’t even a new post everyone’s made this post I’m just feeling this rn

[glorious-spoon]

it would be fucking great if cops could figure that homeless people existing in public spaces like the library does not constitute a safety issue that requires their intervention

#just had a cop come up to my desk and offer to forcibly remove a couple of dudes who were literally just sitting at the table #like #why #if they were being disruptive i'd kick them out myself and never in 10 years of being a librarian have i needed police assistance for that #but they are LITERALLY just sitting there being visibly poor

Okay, au where Shen Yuan is the older than Shen Jiu and Yue Qing. And this boy just goes "I'm a single mother of two" mode, he is responsible but is on the fringes of unhealthily independent as to make sure both of these kids get food and water and have a somewhat decent childhood.

Shen Jiu most likely sees Shen Yuan as a reliable adult but with a bad penchant of focusing too much on Shen Jiu and Yue Qi for resources. Yue Qi sees the same but wants to help Shen Yuan in getting more food and water.

Of course when the Qiu House comes knocking, Shen Yuan puts himself in the stead of Shen Jiu and ensures both of them leave. While Shen Yuan tries to both get a better standing in the house and looking to leave over the course of the years, he doesn't hold out much hope for Shen Jiu and Yue Qi to come back.

Last SY saw of them, they were kids, thin and tiny and barely fast enough to outrun adults. But when almost a decade comes, both of them rock up.

SJ is pissed, but looks composed, but still ready to burn the place down. YQ is livid, looking calm as anything, but is talking very nicely with the Young Master of the house in getting one of their slaves.

SY is brought out. He looks slightly healthier, not much, but he has some weight to him, and he is clothed better than rags. He looks presentable. He looks over to the two and has a mini heart attack.

Dawning realisation that "oh fuck, I was raising the scum villain and the head of Cang Qiong Peak" add a light anxiety attack in his head as he just watches everything happen.

They leave, SY in slight shock as he is now free, to Cang Qiong. Now this can go anywhere.

I personally want SY to not be a cultivator but a librarian to the libraries of SJ's peak to help Binghe get the correct manuel but also guide him a teacher-adjacent way to him and others.

Sure, SY would have a shorter life compared to others, but I think with him trying to become a cultivator when he is an adult already would be more difficult and just not worth it.

But anyone can pick this up to something else, possible with a hibernating system until Binghe comes around? Who knows? But enjoy this random, in the moment au :D

#svsss #svsss shen yuan #shen jiu #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #shen twins #not really?? #shen brothers #thats more of the tone #yue qingyuan #svsss au #svsss ideas #help the chokehold of older shen yuan is killimg me #please someone steal this from me before i write it >:( #but also Yue Qi deserves an older brother figure who gives him as many gray hairs as his younger one >:) #poor boy will be stressed by the mere image of these two being on the same peak #lol imagine Cumplane becoming friends and everyone going like “the librarian and the stats lord??? the fuck??” #that'll be funny #svsss shen jiu #luo binghe is going to be so confused by the two Shens #imagine you have kinda mean(less truamatised) Shen Jiu being harsh and strict #and flighty and ready to just jump away from loud noises Shen Yuan librarian who just wants to give snacks and help at any given moment #and being told they are brothers

Total Drama Future Au designs 6 and 7!

Noah and Owen are both 38 in this AU

After the Ridonculous Race, Noah was DONE with the drama, so he and Owen agreed to marry and settle down.

Noah became a librarian, Owen became a Sports Announcer.

On April 1st, 2013, Ripper was born. He was a trouble child, and he got on their nerves sometimes, but they loved him regardless.

Noah and Owen also stayed in contact with many of their friends from Total Drama.

Noah quite enjoys his (mostly) quiet life, with his husband and son as company.

Owen always tries his best to spice Noah's life up in creative ways. After all, there's nobody else he'd rather be married to! He also won't tolerate any sort of insult or backhanded compliment towards his family. (Alejandro learned that the hard way)

#I'm bringing back Owen's “keg me” shirt from his concept design for this AU #librarian noah is so real to me #owen still has plenty of his party boy vibes #he's down for any event with his former castmates! #Noah is transmasc btw #I'm sprinkling so much transmasc dad swag on this AU #I love the idea of ripper being the nowen child #it just makes sense #td noah #td nowen #td owen #nowen #glasses noah my beloved #flannel owen my beloved #The Aftershow AU #total drama #total drama au #total drama headcanons #my art

#I like to think being sober and years of friendship w ricky bulked him up a bit #and you cant tell me hes not always a bit of a figure to behold as an educator-academic-barista-librarian #i know hes working on his posture but we all know how that goes #i just had an urge to draw wide pete. i believe in wide pete supremacy #little sticky twig pete in s1 is valid but let him become wide in his health #its getting late i gotta stop talking #the unsleeping city #pete conlan #dimension 20 #my art :)

Hi! Im a librarian and I printed out some of your coloring zines for the kids to color/take home, and they love them! I’ve had to refill the little bucket of them at least 3 times by now! Thank you so much for creating them and sharing them. 💕 (eventually I will color one!!!)

this makes me so extremely happy and full of warmth! you have no idea. i wonder how many of my followers are around younger children, i could possibly make more zines/coloring pages for kids if it's wanted.

i used to work at a daycare/babysit so much growing up and i loved drawing things for the kids to color in :'')

#wildeyedsapphic #also bless your heart for being a librarian we need you as a society #would luv to see your coloring someday ^_^

rewatching the librarians and i think lamia should've gotten a redemption arc and joined the group as another guardian

#thanks to the loom of fate episode we know she is capable #and santa saw that she wanted to help people she was just going the wrong way about it #not to mention she had a great rapport with the librarians when she was and wasn't trying to kill them #the apple of discord episode is probably my favorite #'what is WITH this day???' lives in my mind rent-free #anyway lamia definitely deserved to survive being stabbed and then being welcomed into the library after proving herself #and becoming eve's partner #not to mention she'd probably get really into magic with cassandra and how awesome would a magic-wielding guardian be??? #please i just think it'd be cool 😭😭😭 #the librarians #lamia

Role-reversal AU where Machete opens a library on Florence and slowly becomes a very influencial local political figure, while Vasco's parents become fed-up with his "lifestyle" and send him away to the clergy (he probably has a brother in this AU, to make their decision more believable)

They reconnect in a similar way to the original, but their relationship is much more tragic as Vasco became self-hating and thinks he corrupted/doomed Machete in their youth and meanwhile, this Machete is trying to protect him from the corrupted side of the Church and possible assassination plot, that he's too indoctrinated to see happening around him

A interesting ending for this AU should be that Machete still dies, but results in Vasco finally running away from the clergy/inquisition (not sure if Vasco joins the inquisition or not, you can decide) and hiding in the country-side. Where he grows old dedicating various paintings and poems to Machete and possibly taking care of some noble's horses for a living

.

#that's interesting #Machete could potentially really shine in politics I can see that being a thing #but Vasco would most likely have miserable time in the clergy #the pressure and guilt and expectations would break his spirit #even if he doesn't always get along with his parents his family relatives and social bonds mean a lot to him #he wouldn't take it well if he felt like he had failed his parents #and was subsequently pushed into a profession that forbids personal relationships #Machete would have hard time watching him and comparing the young jovial Vasco he used to know to his current dejected state #but in this situation it might be more possible for them to escape together #Machete can't leave the church because he's been indoctrinated from early childhood and has never had any life outside of it #Vasco's relationship with religion is a lot less intense he might be able to detach mostly in one piece #and look after horses for the rest of his days #answered #anonymous #Vaschete scenarios #Machete the librarian #he'd love that

A state senator in the district where I work has co-sponsored a bill requiring public libraries in my state to automatically provide a list of all materials checked out by patrons age 16 and under to their parents within 24 hours of checkout. Hopefully the bill dies in committee. Barring that, I hope our governor vetoes it as soon as it reaches his desk.

I cannot even begin to tell you how asinine this bill is. How dangerous this bill is.

"But parents have a right to know what their kids are checking out of the library."

Sure, maybe you do. I don't give a fuck about your rights as a parent. The issue is whether I, as a public librarian, who follows a professional code of ethics, is under any obligation to provide that information to you. Your rights as a parent are not my concern. I don't answer to you. Your children aren't some half-witted partial-people -- they're either patrons or they aren't. And if they are, they have a right to privacy in the public library.

I'm not your ally in conducting surveillance over your child. It's not my job to make it easier for you to gather intel about your kids. That's called parenting, dude.

A child who knows their parent will be emailed a list of the materials they check out is not experiencing free, unfettered access to information. Full stop. Please pause for a moment and consider the dire consequences of this requirement.

If you want to bring your child to the library and monitor their checkouts, I won't get in your way. But, between you and me, the best thing you can do for your child is to bring them to the library and let them discover it on their own. Get out of their way. Let them browse and investigate and check out a million books and read only one of them twelve times in a row. Let them roam the shelves like they are starving and the books are food.

Stop telling them which books to read or not read. Stop sneering when they select a book from the shelf and deem it "too easy" for them, or "too difficult." If your kid is enthusiastic about an author or a series or a topic, rejoice! Enthusiastic people are the best people!

Let your toddlers pull a dozen books off the shelf -- don't worry, we pay people to put them back. Let them wander with reckless abandon. Let them make noise. We made this space for them. It's theirs. Nothing in the library can hurt them except your undeserved sense of self-importance and your prejudices. We made this space for them. Please get out of the way and let them discover it.

#Librarian #Public libraries #fuck book bans #uphold the right to privacy #free access to information is the most important thing in the world #wisconsin republicans are fucking monsters #let the kids read #Being a librarian right now is really fucked up
