Day Sixty-Five

Our first snow day of the year was yesterday, so today the ninth graders learned how we roll after one of those in high school: what gets rescheduled, what doesn't, that kind of thing.

I adjusted all my upcoming Global Studies due dates by one day, and proceeded with the lesson I'd have done yesterday: essay outlining for the Religion/Philosophy Essay. I decided to give the outline in the style of one of my citation practice assignments- a series of questions for them to research, broken into parts (intro, body, and conclusion)- and I think that's working out really well. The vibe in all four sections was good: a clarifying question here, a break to chat about basketball there... I was pleased with the work students did.

The middle of my day was a lot more somber. First, during advisory, we had to go over the ALICE protocols for an active shooter situation, so we showed the police department's video, discussed barricading classrooms and locations of exits to evacuate from, and then all of us teachers explained what our drills for these situations are like. We'll have one sometime before Christmas.

Then, in APGOV, Tom White took over as our guest lecturer and explained how the eugenics movement influenced US policy in the 1900s-1930s, but also the policies of Nazi Germany. It's shocking, sobering, important history- and, I think, it makes what I have to teach about the Civil Rights Movement all the more dramatic. My students were grateful to learn from Tom, who is an excellent presenter, and they had some great questions and comments throughout the block. Plus, we were joined by the APUSH students, and I think they got a lot of out. it, as well.

So.... It was a lot in the day after a snow day, but it was good.

[ “SOMEBODY TOLD ME”]:

BREAKING MY BACK JUST TO KNOW YOUR NAME. SEVENTEEN TRACKS AND I’VE HAD IT WITH THIS GAME. A BREAKIN’ MY BACK JUST TO KNOW YOUR NAME—BUT HEAVEN AIN’T CLOSE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

— The Killers, Hot Fuss (2004)

Princess Rhaenyra’s insolence is wearing her stepmother’s patience thin. Queen Alicent is not ten years her senior, but even during her own sixteenth year, she cannot recall herself behaving so brazenly. She would never burst into courtly discussions in nothing but gilded armor and the underskirts of her riding leathers, awash in blood. (She would never be spotted in blood that was not her own, anyway. Alicent has never picked up a sword, not one that belonged to her.) Nevermind that Rhaenyra is attending to diplomatic affairs with bared teeth and scales, no—the crux of the matter is just that, her affairs. Rhaenyra is the Realm’s Delight, a beauty incomparable to any fair maiden, Alicent included. She indulges herself with appetite of a spoiled child, the confidence of man, and the pickings befitting only to her royal blood. Criston Cole. Daemon Targaryen. Harwin Strong. Laena Velaryon. She’s full of love, isn’t she? That selfish, foolish girl. What does Rhaenyra Targaryen know of love, of duty? She is a child in so many ways—she thinks killing makes her a man, thinks the throne is hers despite being a woman, thinks she can have her knight and her uncle and her protector and Laena Velaryon in one fail swoop. She’s wrong. She doesn’t know herself half as well as Alicent does. Alicent, who sees her for what she truly is, who wants to see all of her and more of her and none of her. Alicent has been stolen into the Keep by her own father—both of their fathers—but Rhaenyra is the key to this place, is the window to everything barred. Rhaenyra Targaryen has a dragon. Rhaenyra can fly.

That’s what Rhaenyra had promised her once, with her lips pulled back in a grin, exposing the white of her teeth like the violently radiant creature she was. “Perhaps when you grow tired of plotting against me, we shall ride on dragonback together,” she had said. The tease.

Alicent had yanked her into an empty corridor by the silk of her sleeve, ready to chastise her for her ill behavior. Conversing with the lords and ladies of the court at a feast was one thing, but chattering about her bloody encounters in battle over the pudding tureen were another. The lord at her elbow was going green. Alicent’s own face was likely red; her heart raced whenever Rhaenyra got like this. Alicent had never seen the battlefield—only seen battered men in dented armor and the slumps of corpses lined along dirt roads in the aftermath of war—but her own imagination terrified her like nothing else.

(Rhaenyra is better with a sword than half of the knights in Westeros, and more lovely than the lot. Her reign has not yet begun, but already the commoners flock to her—lured in by tales of her beauty and fine hair—and soldiers would follow her into battle. Alicent would not follow, but she would watch and bite her nails down to the quick.

She thinks of the figure Rhaenyra cuts in full armor, the heat in her gaze underneath the slots of her helmet. Alicent remembers the weight of her own hand in Rhaenyra’s—which was gloved—when the princess rode up to the spectators box and grasped it in her own, bringing Alicent’s knuckles to her lips. She thinks of Rhaenyra murdered in the sky, skewered with another man’s sword, plummeting to the ground, torn in half, streaking crimson across the clouds. Alicent would scream, or cry. She might laugh. She would throw herself from the window of her tower. Rhaenyra’s bloody exploits terrified Alicent for reasons she could not identify, and excited her for reasons she refused to.)

“I’d sooner be confined to the castle for the rest of my days than get on the back of that bloody lizard,” Alicent scoffed. Rhaenyra only tucked her hand over Alicent’s, where it was resting on her forearm. She flexed her fingers, moving to release her grip on the dark fabric, but Rhaenyra intertwined their fingers and held them fast.

“You’re confined already. You are already accustomed to such a thing. I know you. But—”

“But you forget yourself. You think you’re invulnerable, Rhaenyra. You don’t know who you are.” Alicent intends for it to be a sneer, but instead it comes out quietly, and too gentle for disdain. She can’t know. Rhaenyra is as trapped as she is, but they’re trapped together. They belong together. She belongs with Alicent.

“I am Rhaenyra Targaryen, Heir to the Iron Throne and all of Westeros. I am a dragonrider. I am—I am your daughter. In a way. Your sister, too. Your enemy. Your sword, your shield.”

“And what am I?” What else is left for me? Alicent wonders.

“My Queen. For now.” Rhaenyra cocks her head, and the gleam in her eyes burns like fire raining down. “When I am Queen, you will be my lady.”

[fuckalicent]

big fan of alicent and rhaenyra trying so hard to hate each other following ali’s marriage to viserys but every time they look at each other all they see is the object of the most visceral love they will ever feel in their entire lives. how that begins to wane when helaena and jace are born and reality begins to set in. how they stop talking when lucerys is born. how they stare longingly after each other in the throne room and on the off chance they cross paths despite being situated so far away. how their eyes lock and suddenly they are girls beneath the weirwood tree again, but everything has changed so much that even the thought of returning to that level of familiarity is unfeasible. so they resort to stolen glances and bubbling resentment flavoured with something else, something from all those years ago…

Things from the most unhinged fanfic I’ve ever read (yes it was a yandere x y/n)

-The fic was yandere Disney characters x reader. All of the Disney characters were men.

-Mickey Mouse is characterized as a mafia boss.

-The fairy godfather, Peter Pan, and Adrian Agreste (yes that one) are canonically the same person.

-On that same note, the MC friendzones Adrian, and that is how we find out his name is Adrian Agreste.

-Cinderella’s Masc name is Ellard or Cinderellard.

-That one scene where The Evil King’s (Evil Queen’s) mirror turns into a human just to tell the evil king that if he wants to be immortal he needs to uh ✨do✨ the Mc. The mirror is then promptly turned back into a mirror. It never turns into a human again.

-During this scene the Evil King claims that sleeping with a woman before marriage is sinful so they need to get married. The MC promptly points out that bathing in the blood of beautiful women isn’t very holy either.

-I’m like 90% sure that Prince Charming and Ellard are in a relationship.

-Yes both of these characters are love interests. They search for the MC together and are never seen apart from each other after they meet.

-MC and Maleficant have an on and off relationship and in the sequel (because there’s a sequel) they adopt human!shapeshifter! Toothless as their son

-There’s one scene where Ariel crashes the MC’s and Snow White’s marriage, where all of the other yanderes are, and says he objects to the marriage because they are mates. He is then never seen again.

-You cannot convince me that this author does not have a degradation kink. I have read 2 other books of theirs. All of them have pretty much all of the love interests insulting the MC constantly.

Anyway, 10/10 Experience, I have never been more entertained in my life. I can, would, and will be doing this again.

I may or may not do posts about their other fics, this is just the longest and most unhinged one I’ve read from them. I will also probably be adding more to this list as this is all off the top of my head and there’s probably more.

Note: If you try to find the fic, please know that there’s a lot of slut shaming (even though the Mc never sleeps with anyone) and there’s an attempted SA in like the second chapter. The fic does not properly warn readers about this so if you want to read it, do so at your own risk.

#fanfiction #Disney #disney x reader #yandere #yandere x reader #Wattpad #because of course it’s from Wattpad #yandere disney #By the way #Mob boss Mickey is in cahoots with your dad #aka the male version of Alice from alive and wonderland #I’d also like to mention that shapeshifter toothless is an adult when you first meet him in the story #Maleficant just turns him into a child when he gets you back to the Disney dimension from the how to train your dragon dimension

Day One Hundred Sixty-Two

I mentioned yesterday that my World students found Winter On Fire absolutely gripping to watch; they finished watching it today, and they had so many comments and questions afterwards. I’m used to tons of comments and questions from my Block 3 class, but they had more than usual, and my Block 2 class had just as many. It’s a difficult thing to watch because, at times, the violence is shocking, and we spoke about that, too- about why I, as their teacher, chose to show it anyways, and why it’s important to recognize and honor how courageous people were in the face of that violence rather than glorifying the violence itself.

Once everyone had said everything they wanted to say, we read an article about some of the key things that happened after the Euromaidan: the annexation of Crimea, the insurgency in Donbas, the Minsk Agreements, US policy under President Obama then President Trump, Covid-19, the Russian military build-up throughout 2021, and the start of the war in 2022. We’ll pick up there tomorrow. 

Attendance in APGOV was back to normal, and that’s probably because I gave a quiz- students’ last vocab quiz ever!!!!!- before allowing them to work on their projects for the remainder of the block. While most of the ones who were absent yesterday and/or the day before had legitimate reasons for their absences, there were definitely some just feeling the senioritis, and having to make up a quiz at a later date would have made that feel worse. 

The other major thing that happened during the school day wasn’t an ALICE drill, but... maybe we could call it ALICE practice? The administration has opted not to do full drills with the alarms blaring and the police in the halls (and, for that, I’m claiming at least a partial victory), but on Monday we watched a video explaining ALICE, and today during flex block we were all instructed to take a few minutes to discuss enhanced lockdowns: how to barricade doors, that sort of thing. It sucks, and I hate it, and it puts everyone on edge... but we got through it. 

Track practice was cold and windy- it didn’t crack 50 here today, it was ridiculous- so the sprinters just did 100m repeats/100m recovery, stretched, and called it a day. It’s post-season, we’re tapering, everyone’s shins are getting a little beat up, so there was no need to do anymore than that. Even so, my cheeks were totally windburned by the time it was done! Hopefully, seasonable weather returns tomorrow!

So back when TMAGP was first announced, I had decided I wasn't going to do an Infinity Train crossover with it as well, but after the first episode came out back in October, I had the idea to do an April Fools update, and that ended up being this! A silly, OOC, very meta update. I'm glad it landed on being the update after the previous one, it works really well for where the story is at.
