Remember that episode of Suite Life where Zack pretended to have ADHD because his schoolwork was shit and if he had ADHD he'd have ADHD accommodations and a special education class and once he had accommodations his performance improved? And he eventually came clean and got in trouble and had to go back to regular classes where he would have to just buckled down and work harder? And he was portrayed as lazy Zack being lazy by wanting ADHD accommodations because of course HE didn't have ADHD, and he was being disrespectful to REAL people with ADHD who needed everything made easier for them?
Anyway I want to rewrite that to have it where Carrie, suspicious that he's faking, has him tested, and the test results come back BEFORE he comes clean but are looked at AFTER, and Carrie is forced to eat her words of reprimand about how Zack just needs to "buckle down and work hard instead of taking the easy way out".
Also
Zack: I don't have ADHD
Bob: Are you sure? Because you sure act like you do

Do you have any more of deaf alice you’d be willing to share? That fic lives rent free in my mind
Deaf Mary-Alice is currently just a collection of Jasper's thoughts as he simps for her and wonders if she truly understands how much he loves her since they made up all the signs when he was emotionally stunted and Too Battle Hardened by Life to Care, and can't find the right words to explain.
The Cullens aren’t at all prepared for Mary-Alice, and it’s kind of fun to watch.
There are still three weeks until graduation, and he’s already negotiated a deal with Carlisle in exchange for completing high school once again (“Five years, Carlisle, of no high school.”) But it means that he has to leave her behind every morning, moping on the couch.
Except, every day they get home, Esme looks vaguely confused and flustered, and Mary-Alice is up to… something.
One day, she’s climbing the railings of the first and second-floor landings, like some kind of bizarre parkouring gymnast - and not the kind of behaviour that Jasper’s sure Esme or any of the Cullens have witnessed or partaken in. But it's no different than her playing in the few trees around Monterrey or swinging from the beams in the roof of the barn. Bouncing off the roof of the mansion, laughing.
(She lands on his back, kissing his cheek, telling him he was gone for far too long, her cheek nuzzling against him as she speaks.)
Another day, she’s swiped some paint from Esme’s studio and spent the day painting the glass wall in his study with flowers (some of them have bleeding eyes in the centre, and others have tiny bones making up their stems, a casual reminder that she is not as soft and girlish as she might appear). The light through the window throws coloured light around his study. Esme is horrified but trying to cover it up, and Jasper mentally tells Edward that he’ll take care of it, just not to mention it. It’s easy enough to get her a canvas and a pile of sketchbooks that light her face with happiness.
(One sketchbook is hidden under the cushions of his couch; quick sketches of visions intermingled with drawings of him and her - some of them are positively indecent, so the sketchbook stays hidden.)
There's the deer she manages to herd into the Cullens' garden, even manages to get a flower crown on the poor beast. Deciding to precariously perch herself on the very top of the library bookshelves, a pile of books next to her swinging leg as she pages through any coffee table book with coloured pictures, other book piles scattered around the room much to Carlisle's consternation.
There's the fact she's caught touching the piano, sitting on the very top and bending over to press the keys to try and 'hear' it better.
(He owed Edward for not pitching a fit of enormous magnitude over that; his brother had had the foresight to simply walk out and let someone else deal with Mary-Alice's investigation. And it had been easy to explain that the piano was Edward's, was special to him. By the time night falls, the piano is freshly polished and set to rights, with a wild daisy left on the seat as an apology.)
There’s the day that Esme somehow manages to teach her the basics of sewing, and he comes home to Mary-Alice cutting up some of the clothing she’s been given to Frankenstein new items together. By then, Esme looks rather exhausted and frustrated - communication is still terribly stilted, and the mess of hacked-apart dresses probably looks like more work for her.
Instead, Mary-Alice sits there, laser-focused as she puts all her clothing back together, somehow more her than they were when she started.
(If she surreptitiously stitches a black gingham star to the pocket of his jeans at some point, it makes him smile.)

Hani x Haruhi Soulmate AU with Body Swap ?
(Slight change due to plot)
When Haruhi woke up on her first day at Ouran High School, she discovered herself suddenly much shorter than before, male and sleeping in a room filled with cute things. Oddly enough the cute things confused her the most.
She got out of bed and began looking for a phone, the door opening to reveal a man in a suit.
“Master Mitsukuni, your father wonders where you are.” The man said.
“I’m not uhh… Mitsukuni.” Haruhi said awkwardly. “I’m his soulmate I guess? Just woke up.” She shuffled awkwardly. “Looking for his phone so I can call my own to warn my dad.” Inside herself, Haruhi wondered at the fact apparently her soulmate had a butler of some sort. How rich was he?
“Ah!” The man looked surprised before smiling. “Congratulations on the occasion. I will inform Haninozuka senior and his wife. I believe Master Mitsukuni charges his phone at his desk…” the butler trailed off.
“Fujioka Haruhi,” Haruhi bowed. She moved to the desk to grab the phone, surprised to see an expensive version. She hesitated but then unlocked it. Luckily it had a face lock. She typed her number in once she got to the phone app and waited.
“HARUHI~” her father’s voice came through the phone. “Your soulmate is so sweet!!!”
“I’m happy you think so dad,” Haruhi snorted. “He recognizes the number?”
“Yeah!” Haruhi’s own voice filtered through the phone. “I can’t wait to meet you Haruhi-chan!!” Haruhi blinked but then glanced around the room. Right, the guy seemed like the type.
“It’s technically my first day at Ouran…” Haruhi said nervously. “I-“
“You’re going to Ouran to?!?” Mitsukuni cheered. “That’s great! I’m a senior there!” Haruhi blinked then reached up to touch her cheek. Or well her soulmate’s cheek. There was stubble.
“Huh, that is great,” Haruhi said thoughtfully. “Is there protocol for this you know of?”
“Yeah, I’ll help Ranka through it,” Mitsukuni said. “My dad can to on his end; did Nara come in? The butler.” Mitsukuni clarified.
“He did. Your father wondered where you were.” Haruhi clarified.
“I didn’t show up for morning practice,” Mitsukuni agreed. The door to the room opened again and Haruhi turned to look at a man entering the room.
“Mitsukuni? And Fujioka?” The man said. Haruhi put the phone on speaker.
“Hi, dad!” Mitsukuni said cheerfully. “Haruhi and her dad don’t have a car so it might be a bit before we can get to the house! I’ve never ridden a train before!” The horror look on the older man’s face caused Haruhi to wonder, just how rich was her soulmate?!

well ya see im here im queer and i had a Thought about high school musicals and now you're getting a s1 hsmtmts post
in season 1, seb gets cast as sharpay which is great and he gets to be flamboyant as it juxtaposes with his shyer real life personality and his massive farm family is super supportive and it's all sweet which i adore
however, i went on a rant about noel gruber and kurt hummel the other day bc look i had a crush on a girl who presumably wasn't into girls and my brain won't shut up about it and the fear of making her uncomfortable and being a predatory queer. this is fun when you're any flavour of fruit, but i have seen that it tends to be a particularly prevalent stereotype facing gay men (i'll put an addendum here that i'm not part of this community and i cannot speak to it, but i have seen several gay guys not liking this stereotype. wonder why /sarcasm)
so here's the Thought with hsmtmts. a decent part of sharpay's character (particularly in the second movie but it's still there in the original and i will not be getting into potential subtext here) is that she's into troy and he Does Not Like these advances. so, with gender bending, that makes sharpay explicitly gay (as opposed to the implicitly gay ryan evans) and, if troy is straight, predatory gay character. and sure, this would not be acknowledged as acceptable within the show (the high school's performance), but doesn't that seem a little off? honestly, even if seb were to suck it up and be grateful for the opportunity, carlos would not stand for this. and i doubt miss jenn would see it at first, but once it's pointed out to her/she figures out the issue (probably the first one lowkey) she would totally change the script for her students.
what's my theory? what's this idea that maintains the story of the characters but doesn't fall into harmful stereotypes?
in the east high production of high school musical troy bolton is canonically bisexual thank you for coming to my ted talk.
also it allows for a line like "i'm good with you being bisexual but NOT in theatre" from chad. and isn't that the dream?
