My 3AM AU
Home Economics is an obscure ass name of a class I’m sure I saw somewhere and I have no single idea what it entails. But in my head somehow it made link betweent that and that things in 2000′s movies/series where they have to take of an egg or a doll as parents or something like that and my brain was like I smell good shit let’s focus on that.
So.
That.
Metal sandiwch style. And Ima try to write someting.
It was Friday afternoon, the last day before school day and last lesson of the day for the students he had, he knew he checked. Dropping his bag loudly on the desk , Mr. Smith called for silence.
“Good afternoon, everyone” he smirked evilly. Looking through the room he saw a few of them gulps. Others looked on edge but not worried. “I have a bit of homeworks for you all.”
He turned back to the desk, ignoring the complaints and grunts behind his back. He took the box under his desk out and put it on his desk.
“This. Is your final grade for the semester. It is a group project and no you can’t choose your group, I have already made the groups. And I don’t want to hear you whining about it, it was a random drowning number.’ Opening the box, he took out a doll. ‘ Your assignment is not hard. You’re the parents of those delightful things for the next three weeks of breaks and you have to take care of it. Every doll will collect the data and I will judge if you took enough care of your fake child. The Groups are on the board. “
And for the rest of the hour, he explained how the dolls worked and how to take care of it, even told them about the fail-safe button that was to be used only for emergencies and with a damn good reason and some solid proof. The dolls were weirdly realistic, not like the plastic doll you offer to your niece on her birthday. More squishy and as heavy as a real three month old baby.
Now see, you could blame Karma, Fate or whatever you wanted but when he did the poles for the group he had fully accepted the fact that , in the end, someone would be singled out due to the uneven number of students. What was not expected was the three names left.
Steve Harrington
Billy Hargrove
Eddie Munson
At that time, he just knew there was no way he could single out any of those three without the other two tearing into each other.
Steve and Billy ? After that big fight he heard they had, that was a no-no.
Billy and Eddie ? They would kill each other within five minutes, he was sure of it.
Steve and Eddie would work, they both butted heads but in the end he had a feeling it could work.
But he also had that feeling that leaving out Billy was a very bad idea.
So he did the next best thing.
Absolutely nothing.
He heard before he saw the three boys in front of the board each face ranging a different level of shock, disbelief and absolute horror. It was also hard to not hear the loud ‘What the fuck” Munson so kindly let out.
‘Mr. Smith, you can't seriously leave us in the same group!’ said Harrington.
‘See, that’s the thing. I can. You three’ he said pointing fingers at each boy. Hargrove looked ready to tear his head off, Munson looked completely unbothered and Steve was clearly looking at him like he lost his mind. ‘ will have to cooperate on this. Word of advice: it would be better for you to work on it at the same time and I know that you’re probably going to schedule which one is going to have to take care of it at night - and you will- but work it out. Have a three week long sleepover or something like that, I don’t care. But do it together and not one after the other.’
Taking the last doll out of the box, he turned around and thrust the doll into Steve's arms who caught it clumsily.
"Congratulations, it’s a boy.” and he left.

I promise you all. There is no need to be antisemitic while being pro Palestine. Also media literacy is essential and maybe just maybe consider fact checking things before you share them. Or you know checking to make sure you’re not about to share a wildly antisemitic conspiracy theory and claiming to be progressive.

Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)
I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.
Edit: Hey you don't need to keep copying out the tags, I wrote all the Minty Hellfire lyrics here. And then someone recorded them here.
Also, I think it might technically be a sensitivity rather than an allergy, but whatever it is, toothpaste is not supposed to hurt! If it's burning then that's bad and you should try to find a new one if possible!
