haikaveh college au + drinking games (it’s still 11.11 somewhere right)

also some details under the cut

they're freshmen

haitham: classics & anthropology double major

kaveh: architecture major

they're not roommates yet

they meet in a literature class for their writing requirement

they have very different interpretations of these novels and it often leads to heated discussions in class and everyone else is like :x..

all hell breaks loose when they're grouped together for the final assignment

other teammates are used to their bickering by now

haitham secretly enjoys these discussions, he finds kaveh's pov interesting. but he also likes watching his reaction so he'd be deliberately antagonistic sometimes

kaveh's annoyed cos haitham's so composed unlike him and he wants to think haitham's just bullshitting but his points actually makes sense ugh

freshmen year ends and when kaveh thinks he'd never have to see haitham again (and forget abt the stupid pocky incident once and for all!!) boom they're assigned to the same room in sophomore year

#haikaveh #kavetham #genshin impact #alhaitham #kaveh #so like i just wanted an excuse to make them kiss #can you tell #this is supposed to be college au #they’re stuck in the same class #probably for lit requirement or something #they famously do not get along #or do they #myart

if I asked very nicely would you all be willing to take a one minute anonymous survey for my linguistics class. if the answer is yes, please click here. thanks :)

(sharing for a better response size would also be very appreciated)

#linguistics #quil's unholy underworld #i have no clue how to tag this #it is quite literally 2 multiple choice questions #keeping it real simple #it's a required project in an intro class #we didn't even get to choose the topic #anyway #it's less important the results #it's intended to teach us the scientific method in practice #which I have done. like 5 times now in different classes it feels #i literally studied the demographic of the library by age an entire summer once #anyway. here's hoping this is worded and structured well enough to do what I need it to #take my survey boy #please

the only Amis who have to Actually Care about their studies are the med students

all the rest are on a sliding scale from 'we don't actually know if they're even in college' to ' actively resisting the college they are enrolled in like they've been dumped behind enemy lines'

they are shit terrible students and that is actually canon

#Marius is a good student. #Marius is square as hell. #this is actually a part of the setup that i think is really hard to graft onto the US modern setting #college is so massively different now #it's expensive there are so many Requirements it's so hostile to like. Life. #why would most of them even be there #being a Good Student has absolutely no correlation with Being Intelligent or Being a Good Person or Overthrowing the Government #and it's less and less of a Given that even middle class kids will attend #so let me tell you about my Amis in Community College/ Community Classes AU--- *is pulled offstage by a giant comedy hook*

[official-linguistics-post]

planning on majoring in linguistics when i get to college. do you have any general tips/advice for what that'll be like? sorry if this is a stupid question 👍

you will find yourself making weird noises as quietly as possible in the library at inadvisable hours of the night

#the specifics suuuuuper depend on where you're studying! #fulfill your requirements and take interesting classes are my most general tips

some lady keeps showing up in my notes while i’m trying to pay attention

most anarchists don't outright say they want to abolish building codes (or organisations) - but, practically, when the question of enforcement comes down to it, it's a different story. building codes that are not enforced are not building codes, they're fun suggestions. if you are not ensuring that all, in this case wheelchair ramps, are up to code, you functionally do not have building codes. it's the same issue as with organisation - without a concept of democratic centralism, 'what if the organisation decides to do something that a small subset disagree with' generally receives no solution other than just 'those people just won't do what the organisation decides', which in practice means there does not exist an organisation at all, just a group of people who currently happen to all agree on something, and will disintegrate when they stop happening to agree. in practice there can be no actual collective action, no ensuring wide conformity to codes and programs, without some form of central authority to make reference to. 'just let the village's Ramp Inspecting enthusiast decide if it's fine' does not a building code make.

#this is again not even getting into the fact that this is an issue of governance and not the state #where the continued existence of class struggle would further require building code enforcement have a proletarian state character to it #for the duration of the period of socialist construction

My number one classics ick is when a scholar will just insert untranslated passages of Greek and Latin into their paper. good job on the artificial inaccessibility you guys, glad you were able to gatekeep the field so none of those dirty peasants may learn stuff. its just for us cool guys who speak Greek or Latin

#This is my speaking as a classical archaeologist who can read very rudimentary Latin and pretty much no Greek #I just never got offered the classes and they weren't a requirement #I'd love if I could and I've been trying to learn latin on my own for a while but self teaching a language isn't exactly easy #I know just enough that if I find a translation that feels off I can get a dictionary and the original and see how it might be phrased #I do need a second translation too to help me find my way #classics #ancient history #tagamemnon #ancient rome #ancient greece #latin #latin literature #greek #greek literature #academics #ick

Making a full post for my Fuuta Ballet AU because I actually had more thoughts about it hehe (Ballerina Girl)

+ a version of the au that's more general to the whole cast, with Es as the protag here!

As mentioned in the art, he’s exactly the same as canon except his life now revolves around dance. He’s in a very cliquey company (The Dark Pas de Trois?), surrounded by friends who are very similar-minded. Even though they're not in dance competitions specifically, they're constantly striving for better reviews/reputations than the neighboring companies. Fuuta struggles with stage fright, but doesn't let on to the others -- he just pushes through every time.

They visit a company rehearsing Nutcracker, and one of the snowflake dancers does something problematic backstage. Fuuta blasts him on social media for it, gaining popularity for his own account/dance company. Auditions and things go a bit smoother for them now that they’re internet famous.

There’s a scandal with the dancer playing the demon sorcerer Rothbart in Swan Lake, and Fuuta catches it on film. The video goes viral, once again boosting Fuuta’s popularity and ego. He’s praised as both a hero and talented performer. His friends are also soaring with this newfound fame.

Then, he catches a young background dancer in Sleeping Beauty doing something he deems worthy of a callout. He exposes her all over his social media. Rather than the usual social backlash, the girl is harassed in person. A crowd takes things too far, and an accident results in an injury that ends her career just as it was beginning. She will never dance again.

Facing his suspicious friends (and overcome with his own guilt), Fuuta flees the company. He plans on quitting dance for the rest of his life as well. Instead, he gets a mysterious invitation to the Milgram Dance Academy. He's never heard of them before, and the internet doesn't turn up much on them. Left with few other choices, he shows up for the first lesson.

The first thing that strikes him is it's a boarding school. He must live there and follow their rules in order to attend. They take his phone and restrict outside contact, much to his horror. The school solely focused on the arts -- no competitions, no big shows. There are three major shows they are planning, but Fuuta couldn't find any venues/tickets/advertisements, despite mention of a "global audience". The program is rigorous, and the instructor decides at the end of each semester if their final performance passes or fails.

The only thing more concerning than the sudden restriction of his phone is the strange group of residents he'll be spending his next few years with. His instructor is a mere child, no more than fifteen and very cryptic about their past training. His other classmates range in age and personality. He starts off dancing just as confident as usual, trying to show up the other students and make a strong first impression.

However, he fails the first semester. The grade list is made public to the whole academy, and Fuuta finds himself the subject of watching eyes and condescending whispers. Becoming sensitive to prying stares and audiences, he falls back into his usual stage fright. He endures (emotional) attacks from the passed students, although in his distraction he screws up some cues and gets injured.

Regarding the actual choreography -- as much as I love the classic shows (I mean, just look how cute he is as the nutcracker ;-;) my brain has been going brrrrr picturing ballet adaptations of the mvs... 🎹 / 🎹 / 🎹 / 🎹

#milgram #fuuta kajiyama #no au can get me going like a dancer au can... #i wanted to take the stakes down from death/murder but still have some drama #so theres still injury and guilt mixed in with the dancing lmao #i know the whole cast version makes more sense but i wanted it to be about my special little guy 👏👏👏😂 #you know how it is #both these aus require a school full of other dancers but im picturing the milgram cast as fuutas specific class he spends all his time wit #and since the other students are the audience i guess that means you all are part of my au 😌 welcome to dance school 😌 #i had the bulk of this jotted down for so long - its nice to finish the art and clean up the phrasing to post! #dropping this while i reboot my brain from my trip... i shall return soon ;-;

bad news for the new year: i've returned to a toxic, manipulative, relationship where i will never be good enough in their eyes. i've returned to duolingo and its accursed owl.

#i'm saying it like a joke but fr i'm scared #this is like my fourth time trying duolingo #i'm in the middle of taking some required italian classes and i'm using this as a way to study and practice and shit #hopefully i'll do better since i've had some irl experience with the language #personal

ID: [A 20 inch quilt made out of yellow and purple fabric, with a larger center panel and an outer border made of squares. In the center panel, silhouettes of people sitting at a picnic are appliqued on, as well as the text "Has this ever happened before?". Image 2 is a zoomed in close up of one of the appliqued figures.]

final project for my feminist disability studies class that i made in 3 hours today! I illustrated a scene from the film Every Body that has archival footage from the first ever meeting of intersex society of north america, where there's these ten intersex people sitting on a picnic blanket, openly talking about surviving medical violence and trauma and grief. and there's this really powerful moment of reclamation where one of the activists says "10 hermaphrodites in one place-has this ever happened before?" so i made this quilt and wrote an essay talking about systemic ableism, intersex is/as/with disability, and how feminist politics of crip futurity provide a framework for us to think about intersex futures and celebrate intersex joy.

literally procrastinated on this project for so long and did the essay and quilt today, so glad i finished it before the deadline. thought i'd share with the intersexy mutuals <3

#personal #intersex #finals season is killing me but we will survive #disability studies #most of my classes do not have any creative work so it was so fun to get a class that required us to make art

[shandzii]

That one scene where Whitney puts you in a cock cage but you turn the tables and put it on him instead. Hell maybe even put him in one of the flat ones too. Sorry I was feelin evil for a sec

God I wish.

Shocked look on his face as you turn the tables on him, you, you fucking little shit that he’s so used to toss around like a ragdoll, having the sheer audacity to clasp the cage around his own cock instead. Just know he’ll be shocked for a good couple of seconds before he’s all pissed, cussing you out and trying to get it off of himself but with his insistent tugging and pulling, you can’t help but snicker at the sight. Seriously, Whitney is built on being horny, he has urges, he needs to fuck and for you to do that shit to him, he’s going to be mad as hell. Oh no, he can’t hit anymore. Way too fucking bad, not only that, there’s another way now, Whitney. Your cock may be trapped in that annoying little chasity belt though your hole sure isn’t, free and tight, ready to be used by a good fat fucking cock.

I just see it as an opportunity to show him a whole new world, get him on all fours like a hung bull, y’know the ones that Remy disciplines on a daily basis, slutty little hole on display without his cock for show making it look like he has a leaking pussy more than anything. Fucking watch at the way he’s seething, frustrated huff leaving him as he’s unable to get himself off. No, no, just fuck his ass instead, slamming my hips against his own fucking behind, hammering his prostate till he’s reduced to a dumb moaning slut, whining for a break. Rewire his fucking mind, get ‘im into a mating press just so I can stare at the way his tongue lolls out of his mouth, eyes rolling back and drool uselessly running down his chin. I’ll have him conditioned so he can’t even think about a basic bitch’s loose pussy anymore, just a fat cock drilling his sore hole, already reaching down to finger himself stupid.

Dumb fucking bitch.

Or just blue ball him for the rest of the month, idk lmfao

#woah asher #I assume the turning the tables thing is just an idea #I heard of the cock cage thing but never turning the tables on whitney #when can do it #looking up at vrel with puppy dog eyes so he can make the sub whitney update that he promised happen #I’m willing to wait #sadly I never got the cock cage scene #I think it requires you to have a small dick and masturbate mid class #and my pcs suffer from bcd unfortunately #big cock disorder #guess I’ll have to reduce ashers fat cock to get it #we feeling a little evil around here fellas #dol #whitney the bully #asher has.. thoughts #asher gets asks

Something I always wonder with the whole: "The lazy populous doesn't want to work!" is if it's only being said to keep minimum wage at the very, very lowest end of 'survivability.'

The "lazy worker" isn't truly a problem. The employers are.

#politics #this is my old man conspiracy theory #it's insane when you actually start job searching and you apply fucking Everywhere and it's crickets #job announcement: no experience required! we'll train you! you're actually PERFECTLY qualified #you apply and then NOTHING. and then you listen to the news or other people #and they complain about how 'lazy' the modern worker is and how employers are DESPERATE for people to work for them... #...and you'll end up knowing better if you haven't soaked up the individualist corporate shill propaganda i think... #...that propaganda (at least in the US) is the idea that the individual worker is always at fault... #...that if they never get a job - even 'entry-level' - that it is THEIR fault... #...if you don't want to work minimum wage get a maximun-effort job!!!!!... #...if you want to Get Hired then make yourself Hireable!!!!!!!!!... #...you must be Indispensable (but potentially for $7.25/hour)!!! it is Up To You!!!... #...make records! never ask for anything! never complain! never dare bite the corporate hand which feeds you!!!!!!!! #that's the type of shit i grew up with at least. and i cannot buy that it isn't propaganda in a world hostile to any layman #i wonder if the romanticized version of the 60s-70s working class in the US is completely true as well... #...i just wonder if we are idealizing a past which never truly occurred for the worker... #...simply because these tactics Aren't New and Aren't Considered Morally Reprehensible because of the Bottom Line #this last part is tangentially-related but i always question whenever people have rose-colored views of The Past

I wish some incomprehensible but benevolent being would scoop me up and gently deposit me in a booth at a diner. With a little pat on the head.
