#did not like the teacher tho

[ink-the-artist]

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess? #she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies) #which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore

Unusual, but maybe not in a bad way

Eddie's shoes might look good, but they were never a good choice for summer rains. He kept forgetting that and letting the reality of his fashion choices hit him hard in the face. Or knees.

The bus had a moving plate in the middle that usually wasn't a problem but today wasn't usual. Today the rain was pouring and Eddie's phone was at 15% because he had been too lazy to plug it in before falling asleep. So today he had to switch seats to one next to a charging port and as he was making the short voyage, a few things aligned perfectly to make today unusual, and in a bad way.

The rotating plate was wet from the rain.

The soles of his shoes had no grip.

The bus turned left.

"Shit."

Eddie gathered himself off the wet floor, cursing his shoes, the weather, and the throbbing pain in his knee. Without looking up he fell heavily into the seat that was his destination, afraid of the amused stares he might catch. His dignity? Gone. His pants? Well, they were torn already anyway so one new hole didn't make much difference. His knee? Bleeding, apparently. As he rubbed his knees, one of his hands came out red. He groaned.

"Of fucking course." He just had to hit something sharp on the usually safe and relatively smooth surface. 

When he was reaching to plug in his phone, someone grabbed the pipe just above the USB port. Eddie looked up and found a man looking down at him. He also realized the golden frames of his glasses complimented his hazelnut eyes beautifully.

"You should clean this up," the man said instead of making fun of him or asking if he was okay. No, he was holding out a packet of wet wipes like some kind of saint.

Eddie hesitated for a moment but while his dignity might be gone, the gorgeous man in front of him wasn't. He took the offered wipe.

"Thanks," he murmured, wiping the cut and the surrounding skin, cleaning off sand and blood.

The man dropped a backpack on the vacant seat next to him. Eddie eyed the pins attached to it; a couple of dinosaurs, a Hufflepuff crest, ‘protect trans kids’, and��� a bisexual flag. Score.

"Pirates, Hello Kitty or dinosaurs?"

"Huh?"

"Band-aid," the man clarified, shaking a small tin can he fished out of his backpack. "I work with kids," he added like it explained everything. Well, it kind of did. Upon opening, the tin revealed an assortment of colourful band-aids.

Eddie hummed in thought, considering his choices.

"Dinosaurs."

"Good choice," the man praised with a smile, probably the same one he showed to the kids. Was he a teacher? Because suddenly all the teacher-student porn scenarios gained a new appeal. Where skimpy pencil skirts didn’t work on Eddie, a soft green jumper just might, apparently.

The man handed him a dino band-aid, apparently expecting him to apply it himself. Well, of course. They were two strangers on a bus, after all.

Disappointed, he put it on the cut, missing the amused tilt of the teacher's lips.

"Do you need anything else? I have some candy; lollipops, gummies…" The man flipped through the contents of his bag.

"Gummies?" Eddie's interest was piqued.

"They have colourful fillings and a tiny dragon on each wrapper," he advertised, offering him a small baggie to choose from. Again, his tone reminded him of an adult talking to a kid. This shouldn't be working on him as well as it was.

"Can I have two?" he asked, looking up into these stunning brown eyes. The level difference was not helping. Has he not sat down on purpose? To tower over poor Eddie's tiny metal heart?

The man smiled as he took a quick conspiratorial look around.

"You can even have three, just don't tell my kids," he whispered

"I ain't a snitch!" he assured and picked up two green candies and an orange one. Because red flavours belonged in the trash.

Or apparently in the plush mouth of a handsome stranger, since he picked one of those for himself. Maybe Eddie didn't hate them that much, after all. He could make an exception. Especially if he could taste them the fun way.

"You sure you don't want a lollipop? Water? Extra band-aid?"

Eddie shook his head adamantly but had a nagging feeling the man was stalling. His gaze dropped to the flag badge, giving him an instant shot of courage.

"Your number?"

The soft teacher's smile turned sly, and he knew he took the right step. His metal heart thumped in his chest, the sound resonating against his ribs. What a fun feeling.

"Better hurry up, my stop is next."

Eddie nearly dropped his phone in his haste to put in the string of numbers.

"What do I…?" he asked when the empty ‘name’ box stared at him from the screen.

"Steve," the man offered, just in time for the bus to stop. The doors swung open, and he was gone, but while the physical distance between them grew, Eddie now had the comfort of having him in the palm of his hand, hidden behind a number.

>> Thanks for the candy! 🖤 - Eddie

team minato modern middle school au where kakashi is the annoying genius who skipped like two grades, rin somehow lives in a hospital (no one's sure which nurse/doctor is her parent but. it's one of them. right? it's gotta be. no way did a bunch of worked-half-to-death medical staff accidentally adopt a baby someone forgot about. definitely one of them is her parent. her birth certificate is around here somewhere i'm sure look i'll get back to you once my shift ends in six hours), and obito is the class clown who lives with his awful anarchist stoner grandpa and calls his house "the cave"

minato is a former student of kakashi's dad's friend and he's their carpool driver bc no way in hell would that man be allowed to teach in real life

#naruto #naruto shippuden #team minato #team seven #hatake kakashi #nohara rin #uchiha obito #uchiha madara #namikaze minato #hatake sakumo #jiraiya #nobody knows who kakashi's mother is. his dad isn't sure he has one. he doesn't know where the kid came from but. the dna tests are clear #obito thinks it's the science teacher. y'know the one with like a bajillion different weird animals. only in this case they are all snakes #kakashi thinks that's dumb bc mr orochimaru is definitely a man probably #also bc when he asked he just got creepy laughter and a lecture on how to clone humans #i'm not kidding about rin btw no one at the hospital has any fucking clue where she came from #none of them are going to be the first to admit it tho #they tried to run a paternity test for her but the only match in their system was a man named nohara isobu. who's been mia for like 30 year #and yes being raised by an ever-changing stream of people none of whom had enough time for her did mess rin up a bit #on the bright side. she is easily the most medically proficient seventh grader in the history of anything ever #and she'll have recommendations for days when she applies to medical school #gai and his dad are also there but they're pretty much the same

was thinking back this morning to my AP art class i took my senior year of hs. and how my art teacher absolutely would not let us do anything other than realism lol. and how i honestly hated that class (and switched out of it after 1 semester)

i will never understand the art teachers that are vehemently against anything stylized. like just bc it’s not photorealistic & uses lineart/a more simplified shading style doesn’t automatically mean it’s not art? i feel like as an art teacher u should just be encouraging creativity in general! if ur students like drawing anime or furries or whatever else, shouldn’t you just encourage that since they’re actually taking time to learn and enjoy drawing? especially in my AP art class, where we were given a lot more freedom to choose what we wanted to draw & didn’t have set projects we would all work on as a class. and yet i was still forced to do realism (which is good practice ig but it’s boring & not what i enjoying doing solely as an artist). which is definitely the reason i ditched that class lol

#like i understand it’s rly important to learn and be taught the basics in an art class #but i feel like once u have those down? i should be able to do whatever i want lmao #success can be found outside of just solely being a realism artist #will never understand why art teachers actively discourage everything else tho #this is part of the reason i did not pursue art as a career & chose to keep it solely as a hobby lol #i do not like other people telling me what to do when it comes to my art!

older Snape fans, what are your oldest works like?

i’m curious 🤭

found the old display book where i stored my second (and longest)(and unfinished) fanfic and i’ll have you know the highlight was Severus stabbing a dragon in the throat with a poisoned dagger to save Hogwarts, in front of everyone 🙌🏻

he was able to jump on the dragon because he had ✨angel wings✨ black covered in ebony feathers, of course 🖤

and every chapter had deep poetic introductory quotes bc i was a dramatic teenager.

#the whole thing is an emo cringe fest #after that feat he has to go into hiding bc he has thwarted the dark lord’s plans #the wings were already a consequence of a malediction by Voldie + following suicide attempt 🤷🏻‍♀️ #(the fic was set right after the end of the 4th book) #and the only place he can hide is remus’ house where sirius is already hiding #no snirius tho they hate each other #and the geography of magic teacher is already after him #i was already drawing him like a girl haha #found a drawing from 2010 yesterday and thought wow i haven’t progressed at all that’s what happens when you never practice #but looking at those it seems i *did* progress between 2003 and 2010 #also we had to spend hours in the library checking encylopaedias and stuff about plants #because the internet was virtually inexistent in boarding school D: #severus snape #pro snape #snape fanfiction #snape community #my art #old art

[allgremlinart]

was going to try and defend Sokka's drawings like "hey these are actually really good if we consider that he probably hasn't had a lot of paper and ink to waste on art before, he'd probably be better at 3d forms of art like carving or etching" but then I remembered the fucked up fish he carved for Yue ... at least he is trying his best 👍

#the 2 years of schooling I did for being an art teacher are violently rebelling against the idea of me calling a #15 yr olds art bad in any way like this is really difficult for me fyi. its bad tho #sokka #atla

My cousins made their own troll Ocs and I drew them in my style.

They were very excited about it

#my art #not my art #both #trolls #dreamworks trolls #they had a lot of fun making these #i actually really love the color palette for princess i think my cpusin did a very good job on that #claw is something else #he is a unicorn troll #neon green was an interesting choice but hey claw is an interesting guy #is it obvious idk how to draw country trolls lmao #ever since i told them i also liked trolls we have had our own little club #im their person who they can talk to about it #they will also just sit and ask me to draw tiny diamond and guy diamond over and over and over and over and over again #they really like tiny diamond #but hey i love those little guys so i draw the trolls they demand of me #they also asked me to draw poppy and branch so they could color them #i still have to finish my viva coloring page for them #the younger of the two who made princess is really good at color picking and color matching #she colored poppy without a ref and its p accurate to her colors #the older one who made claw used the ref for every color but he got pretty close when he tried to guess #the older one also misunderstood me when i said id been practicing art since i was 5 and thought i was this good since i was 5 #he was very depressed for about 15 minutes #it was really funny but dw i assured him that was not the case #but like for those 15 min he did not believe me #even his sister was like 'nono you didnt hear it right' but he was already in the emo zone #he was fine later tho and continued on making his troll #and also proud teacher moment but i had taught princesses creator some art techniques off handedly #not expecting her to remember any of it but then she did and apparent shes been using it ever since #im like omg i actually taught another human bsing something its insane

1. Holy shit I am so happy I found another person who gets how smart Percy is, and gets that every instance of Percy looking/getting called stupid is due to his dyslexia or people not telling him anything.

2. Which book/chapter is this from? I need to bookmark it ASAP and start shouting it from the metaphorical tumblr hills.

3. We really don't talk about how good a mom Sally is? Like yeah she's badass and gentle but like. She respects Percy. When the school system failed Percy, she's the one who still not only believed that he was smart but still acted like it and probably taught him too. Queen mom Sally Jackson right there.

1.) YEAHH EXACTLY. Or his ADHD 😭 It drives me NUTS whenever Percy is treated as the dumb + comedic guy. Like I get what they're saying and why they're saying it, but sometimes his character gets reduced to JUST that and it hurts my soul. I get that he's funny as a narrator and as a character and sometimes he can be a little "clueless" but it just feels like some people like to think of that as either all he is or a huge part of who he is. I believe I've also seen Leo get this treatment despite literally being insanely smart at such a young age so. that's...fun. They can be funny and smart too 😞

2.) It's from the 10th Anniversary edition of The Lightning Thief! It's Rick's cover letter for the first readers of the manuscript & a note from the narrator. I don't have a copy of that edition myself, but I've seen some pictures of it on Rick's blog and someone posted one of the pages on Reddit (where I got it from).

Here's the full page from Reddit (source) & the picture from Rick's blog where the page is visible (source):

3.) YEEEAHHHH I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! What I would do to get adopted by her rn. The way she talks to him makes me kinda teary-eyed because she's just so...you can just tell how much she loves Percy and that she would do anything to make sure he grew up resilient and kind in a world that's always out to get him. She believes in him so much that it just makes me lose my mind a little. It's just so sweet and I can't help but feel so moved by it.

I'm not sure if you've read Chalice of the Gods, but there's this scene where (spoilers, kinda) Sally talks to Percy after the whole thing with Hebe and honestly this scene makes me want to sob and cry and weep

“You are a lot of things, Percy. But helpless isn't one of them.”

#personal mail ♡ #long post #pjo/hoo #percy jackson #sally jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #the lightning thief #chalice of the gods #don't get me wrong tho. i know percy can and had acted clueless or oblivious or whatever. #but my gods. at least think about it for a hot second. #adhd + dyslexia + people just not telling him shit + other characters treating him like he's stupid + gods know what else #i wouldn't have said anything if they were just talking about the book #and about that one specific scene where percy called his teacher an old sot #because he did admit he did not know what the hell that meant. #but c'mon :/. percy will say anything relatively smart and people will discredit the shit out of his intelligence and knowledge 💀 #has acted*** just ignore any typos I'm sorry 😭 #the impertinent thing isn't even that big of a deal 😭 it's like...one relatively “big” word. but gods forbid right 💀 #but anyway I love sally she's great and awesome and no she is not perfect but she sure tries her damn best to be who Percy needs her to be

schoolkid V2 (i think she'd be the thug type)

no-table, no-bubble, no-both versions, as well as some closeups under the cut! (cw: visible underwear (im so sorry about this))

variants:

closeups:

#yeah its for my own stupid school au #they go to another school than V1 cause i think they'd get bad grades (on purpose) and be really thug-ish #also because when they did go to the same school as V1 they just kept fighting like. always #they would see eachother in the hallway or courtyard and they'd literally have to be restrained by other students and teachers #cause V2 would taunt V1 to a fight constantly (also part of the reason they're the one who transferred) #they just hate eachother a lot (especialy V2) #they'd also be like. the kind to start fights really easily with absolutely everyone (despite them being concieved as a peace keeper) #and to not follow the dress code properly #(hence the slit idea which doubles as an aid for added mobility (aka crouch sliding)) #probably swears a lot too (given i imagine they have a fairly advanced voicebox) #and they get bad grades cause they can't be assed to study but are actually really really smart and could go to a top uni/college v easily #gets sent to the supervisor's office or to detention on a regular basis #and has often been threatened with the “we're gonna have to expel you if you keep this attitude young machine” #they're also like. a grade behind V1. little sibling. #ghhgghghghghh im so sorry about the visible underwear tho #i just wanted them to have a huge slit in their skirt for mobility reasons as well as to show their more “thug”ish attitude #but then i realized that the way they'd be sitting would show her undies #please understand there was no underlying intent #im sorry. im so sorry #ultrakill #v2 ultrakill #school au #high school au #fanart #my art #should i have made an actual post for these ideas for this au? yes #will i actually do one? probably. idk #i enjoy imagining this stuff as a person who wasn't able to attend normal high school #this is literal wish fulfilment. you look in the dictionary and you see this under the definition (its not a single word but you get wim) #so much stuff in these tags. so much. soooo much. im so sorry

[coccolithophore]

i've never wanted to be a teacher (esp because everyone always told me i should be one lol) BUT i get to assist with visiting science labs and field trips at the aquarium now and it's honestly amazing lol if i could skip the years of teaching experience and get the job teaching kids about tide pools twice a day that would be great thanks

#something cute tho is a lot of the people who teach these classes did summer camps here as kids #and they actually hire out of the like teenage summer camps quite often if they apply to be teachers as adults ;w; #kiwi.txt

i think i need to make a series out of 'studying criminology is a joke' cause boy stuff is happening

my teacher was talking for over an hour about this guy and his whole criminal career, all the people he killed, all the crimes he committed and whatnot and at the end he casually mentioned that this guy IS COMING TO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK TO GIVE US A LECTURE EXCUSE ME WHAT

#my brain was still processing so i didnt catch everything my teacher was saying but isnt this guy supposed to be in jail? #like i dont want to be mean but the last thing this guy did was go to the store to buy a knife and then stab someone 7 times with it and #then go to the police to give himself up like #is it really the best move to bring this guy to school?? #idk man i dont know how i feel about this #definitely feeling stuff tho #gonna lie down now #criminology is a joke #<- we have a tag now broskis #ramble gamble
