DC: The High-School AU: The Series: The Staff (the musical)

So I finally cast the school staff and teachers for my DC High School AU, which I thought some of you would have some fun with! I took the subject list from a fairly fancy looking private school, because only schools you have to pay for have their subject lists online, so I’m probably offering way more classes than your average state school, but hey, it’s my AU and I wanted to cram in as many supervillains, obscure heroes, and bad jokes as possible.

Admin & Staff

Principle - Amanda Waller

Deputy Principle & Treasurer - Noah Kuttler (the Calculator)

Nurse - Myra Mason (she was Dr Midnite’s nurse and love interest in the 40s & 50s, then got fridged, but I’m unfridging her and giving her a job with much better survival prospects)

Councillor - Ethel Peabody (she’s a psychiatrist from the Gotham TV show, and also in my headcanon, Amanda Waller’s sister)

Librarian - Stanislaus Johns (The Librarian. I considered bookworm for this job but he’s literally called the Librarian, what was I supposed to do, not use him?)

Admin Staff - Laura Conway (Superman supporting cast and occaisional vampire), Mabel Martin (Riddler’s secretary), Theresa Collins (Goldstar, also Booster Gold’s secretary)

Business

Loren Jupiter (aka Mr Jupiter the richest and therefore most thrustworthy man in the world) - Business 101, Business Law, Entrepreneurship

Wesley Dodds (Sandman) - Business Communications

Annabeth Chamberlain (Brimstone) - Marketing, Hospitality & Tourism (she doesn’t work in tourism, but I figure anyone who can waitress while also having the power to set people on fire and damn them to hell and keeps her job probably knows a whole lot about customer service)

Family & Consumer Science

Miss Tribb (Lobo’s childhood teacher who inexplicably survived the extinction of their species) - Childhood Developement, Early Childhood Education

Neil Richards (The Mad Mod) - Texiles/Sewing, Fashion

Tenzil Kem (Matter-Eater Lad) - Food & Nutrition

Finance

Noah Kuttler (The Calculator) - Personal Finance

Matron Bertinelli (Nu52 Huntress, who I’m declaring a sepperate character and the aunt of pre-52 Huntress because they’re radically different characters and I like both of them) - ASL, Italian

IT

Brian Durlin (Savant) - Computer Programming, Web Dev

Jennifer Lyn-Hayden (Jade) - Digital Art 101

Arnold Wesker (Ventriloquist) - 3D Animation, 3D Graphics (I don’t know why but the idea of Wesker as an animator just tickled me. Obviously his real passion is stop-motion, but he learnt 3D because there were more jobs)

English (the fancy private school called this ‘language arts’ which is so prentious it makes me feel slightly nauseous)

Wesley Dodds (Sandman) - English Language, AP English Language

Rac Shade (Shade the Changing Man) - English Literature, AP English Literature

Chloe Sullivan (the worst character in the Smallville TV show, a hotly contested position) - English Language, Communications 101, supervises the School Paper and the Yearbook

Shelly Gaynore (The Whip III) - Englist Literature, Creative Writing

Basil Karlo (Clayface) - Intro to Shakespeare

Nick Scratch (officially his supervillain name is just Scratch, but I refuse to consider that a code-name, looking at you Drake) - Communications 102: Public Speaking

Mathematics (which has a 100% villain make-up, which seems accurate from what I remember of high-school maths)

Noah Kuttler (The Calculator, because I think I’m funny) - Pre-Calc, Calculus, AP Calculus

Harlan Graves (The Underbroker) - Stats, Algebra 1, Algebra 2

Angelo Bend (Angle Man, becuase I know I’m funny) - Geometry, Trigonometry

PE (I realise this is probably too many PE teachers but there are a lot more caonical althetes than just about any other job in the DCU except maybe scientist)

Lawrence Crock (Sportsmaster, you knew this was coming) - Gym, Weight Training, coaches Baseball, Basketball, Tennis & Hockey

Lisa Snart (Golden Glider) - joint-coaches Cheerleading, coaches the Drill Team, Wrestling

Simon Trent (Grey Ghost) - Theatre, Theatre 101, Film Studies

Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) - Theatre Tech

Mary Louise Dahl (Baby-Doll, from B:TAS) - Film Studies, Video Production

Betty Bates (Lady-at-Law, who is technically owned by DC now due to corporate buy-outs) - Debate

Science (do you have any idea how hard it is to pin down areas of specialisation for comic book scientists? TNT is on this list entirely because he’s the only actual honest-to-god professional chemist I could find)

Kirk Langstrom (ManBat) - Biology, AP Biology

Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy) - Biology, Environmental Science

Thomas “Tex” Thomas (TNT) - Chemistry

Achilles Milo (Professor Milo, again not really much of a code name) - Chemistry, AP Chemistry

Will Magnus (I refuse to even dignify it as a code-name) - Physics, Earth Sciences

Ray Palmer (The Atom) - Physics, AP Physics

Adam Strange (DC is just doing this to fuck with me, personally) - Astronomy

Social Studies & Humanities

Barbara Minerva (Cheetah) - World History

Maxie Zeus (ffs) - World History, AP World History (fun fact, Maxie was canonically just a normal history teacher before he got lightning powers, became convinced he was Zeus incarnate, and set out to become a criminal, making him my favourite DC mobster by a country mile)

Terry Long (aka one of the only characters to really deserve to get fridged) - US History, AP European History

Eobard Thawne (every code-name he has is stupid, but lets just go with Reverse-Flash as the least awful option) - US History, AP US History

Nick Scratch - US Government, AP US Government, AP Comparative Politics

Rex Tyler (Hourman) - AP Art History

Magdalene Kyle-Burton (Sister Zero, she’s a sometimes-nun and a sometimes-sister to Catwoman) - Comparative Religion

Michael Carter (Booster Gold) - Economics, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics

Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) - Psychology (there is exactly one heroic psychiatrist in all of comics, and I’d already used Dr Fate elsewhere. Scarecrow seemed like the least bad option of the remaining pool for being around children, and he does at least have teaching experience)

Adam Strange - Sociology

Betty Bates (Lady-at-Law) - Law

Richard Occult/Rose Psychic (it’s complicated, lets just say Dr Occult and leave it at that) - part-time, Criminal Justice

Technology & Engineering

Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) - Electronics, CAD, Woodworking

John Henry Irons (Steel) - Engineering, Metalworking

Will Magnus - Robotics

Visual Arts

Linda Lee/Danvers (she’s Supergirl, but I’m making her a different character from Kara Danvers/Kent because the DCU is really short on artists and I needed someone to teach the damn class, although the only thing that really makes her distinct from other supergirls is that she fucked a horse that one time and IDK how that will translate into a personality...) - Ceramics, AP Studio Art: 3D Design, Art 101

Rex Tyler (Hourman) - Graphic Design, Drawing, AP Studio Art: Drawing

Jack Knight (Starman) - Painting, AP Studio Art: 2D Design, Art 101

Jennifer Lyn-Hayden (Jade) - Photography

So there you go - I’ll be honest I still don’t really understand how high-schools in the USA work, and I have no idea what Design studio art even is so I kind of assigned those ones at random, but now it’s done and cannot be changed.

As always this universe is open to prompts so if you want a chapter focussing on any of these characters just drop me an ask or a comment and I’ll see what I can do. Making Dr Occult & Rose Psychic a single gender-fluid person is already on my list to do, since that’s who I thought they were for a longest time when I started reading comics and I’m still kind of annoyed that isn’t canonically what’s going on.

Yes, I don't read the news anymore. Yes, i don't give a fuck anymore. I know the system is shit as fuck. I have been saying this for years and years. I have tried to educate ppl on the idea of real anarchism (not the one on TV), I've tried to tell them how capitalism is bad, I have tried to convince them that we need a big change and that it starts with every little single gesture. I have watched my politically active (former) friends rip each other apart in endless running battles over some minor shit, e.g. "is 'fuck yourself' politically correct". I have tried to tell ppl that political activism from the left needs to be more "ppl friendly" - leftists are seen as the enemy not only by the state, but first and foremost by society. We can be radical when the revolution is over, but we will have to fight our own ppl if we want a revolution that makes it look like as if we wanted to take something away from "normal" ppl. As long as the state has the power to kill ppl, we need to be smarter than the state. Yes, violence is the answer, but it has to be used wisely. Read books by Gustav Landauer and such, you'll learn a lot about "Eigenverantwortung" (to act in a self-responsible manner) and "Fremdverantwortung" (to be responsible towards others).

Long story short, I'm tired. I'm tired of ppl fighting over pronouns, over whether or not ppl belong in any community, over the tiniest bullshit instead of just leaving ppl be and worry abt the bigger picture. Nobody can make assumptions about things like gender, culture, society and so on IN GENERAL. The general basis must be: Don't be an asshole, let ppl live, do no harm. Everything else must be dealt with in the tiny spaces problems occur. You're running a safe space of any kind for women*? You make the rules for only this space, not in general. In your space there are no transwomen allowed bc you decided so to avoid triggers for cis-women rape victims bc you have your reasons and made them clear? Great. Do that. It is your right to do so. BUT PLEASE DON'T GO ON THE INTERNET OR ELSEWHERE AND BE A TERF! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??? YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHAT OTHER PPL THINK. If there are transwomen in your community who want to join - talk to them. Figure something out. Resolve problems where they occur!! Use the internet to educate ppl who generalize. Nobody gets to do that.

Racism in your community? Do something! Use the internet? Great! BUT PLEASE DON'T ASSUME EVERY WHITE PERSON IS CONSTANTLY RACIST. THAT'S A GENERALIZATION AND JUST NOT TRUE. In Europe, we had Nazis since the late 1900s. And we have fraught them ever since. Not only in Germany, but in Italy, Spain, etc. as well. We dealt with our history. Not always in a good way, but at least we tried. I have been on marches against the NPD in Germany when I was as young as 15 or so. We skipped school to go to demonstrations. I am tired of being called a racist by a Tumblr community which can't look past the boarders of their own country. Dear ppl from the USA, there is a world out there! And where we're already at it, in Europe we've had an Antifa-movement for decades, it is deeply rooted in our history. Nice of you to discover this now, but please, don't try to educate us abt our own movement. And also, anarchism is not something you recently invented. Just so you know. I'M NOT SAYING, EVERY PERSON FROM THE US THINKS LIKE THAT, I'M NOT GENERALIZING, BUT THE ONES I'M TALKING ABT WILL KNOW.

Also, I'm sick and tired of leftists of all kinds, may they be Antifa, activists, idc, telling me I'm not enough - not radical enough, not punk enough, not woke enough, not feminist enough, not idk what else enough. That is the reason I'm not in any political motivated groups anymore bc they are as restrictive and narrow minded as the ppl they're working against. If you don't take in any ally, you will not succeed in the revolutionary plans you have, bc, like I said earlier, you will always fight against your own ppl.

I am just sick and tired. I know that how I see the world politically and in general is the "right" way (as in not racist, not sexist, and so on so forth), but I will not continue to be told otherwise just bc I say: we have the same goal, I just think there is another way to get there. The path might be different, but that doesn't mean it is a better one. We just need to go many ways to get to where we want to go.

I can't tell you how done I am. The amount of done-ness is amazing. I can't take any more bullshit.

I am tired of fighting. I am tired of being accused. I am tired of having to defend myself against "my own ppl". I will fight every racist, sexist, etc. person to the last bit, but I am tired of wanting the right thing and still being excluded.

I'm done. I will lay my weary head to rest now.

(I will not discuss anything written here. You can hate me for that. I don't care. This is my personal opinion, resulting from my personal experiences. I am very disappointed of how certain ppl treated me, and this is just a sweeping blow in any and all directions. I don't mean any specific person, it is nothing personal, except if you're a terf, a racist, or in any other way an asshole.)

IDK if these are Sad News or...

When someone says "hey i have good and bad news" they take for granted that the outcome of both the things they are about to tell you will make you happy and then sad, respectively. But the truth is that the bearer of these news doesn't know if they are bad or good. Trump won the elections. Wether this information is good or bad depends solely on the person receiving the news. That being said: I bring NEWS. Period. For starters, I think that if you have followed me for a while you know that I am not in the USA. (Please don't come asking where I'm from cause I never tell :) sorry, that's personal info i want to keep personal) Well that, added to the fact that where I am at in the world has terrible basically non-existent postal service, means that I have to order things through a courier. My packages are delivered somewhere and from there delivered to a place where I go pick them up in my town :) Harry's album is one of the things that was supposed to do this trek. And it's the thing that has not done the trek. So today is Monday and I thought by now I would have AT LEAST received an E-MAIL that my package has been received in the states and is going to make its way to me, meaning that by Wednesday i would be in the clear to pick it up. Yeah, that hasn't happened. So I'm CD-less. That book that was supposed to come with it? Dont have that either. What do I have? My ritual to listening to my favourite artists. As a promise to myself my first listen has to be the physical CD in my laptop and me with headphones at night and separated from the world. Until I get my CD I wont be able to do that and I can't track my purchase. I also don't know for sure if it's just taking its sweet time or if it's lost in space and NEVER making its way to me, i dont know that for me to go all out AGAIN and buy another CD so i can FINALLY give it a listen. This is all information you probably didn't need but I've been going insane for the past few days hoping to get my CD and not even getting news and I dont think I've had a set of sadder days than these last few ones. I deleted tumblr from my phone and re-installed it to type this out and will then leave again. I will be missing out on Harry on James Corden until I get my CD because I refuse to listen unless it's on my silly fucking ritual, why? Because it is how it is. Because it's important to me. And lord knows if I'm committed to something it's to this fucking absurd ritual. And now I'm crying in public how fun. Honestly: being without tumblr, receiving notifications from the blogs I have notifications on and scared to go in cause it might be spoilers, knowing everyone is actively JAMMING to Harry's music (that has thankfully not been spoiled for me) makes me extremely sad. I never imagined just how much I actually spend on tumblr and chatting with the amazing people I've met but apparently it's a lot and not having it is the worst and I'm depressed and sad. I left group chats just so I could stay spoiler free and now... well I guess the news are that I'm gone from tumblr... Indefinitely. Is that good news? Bad news? Idk. I dont know if anyone cares I just felt like saying it. I'm no one so it's not like I have someone actually waiting for me to come back and I know i said monday cause well MY NAIVE SELF thought I would be jamming to Harry's first album by now. But i'm not and I don't know where my CD and book are. Idk if I can get them elsewhere and I don't know if I should even buy it again because well... what am i going to do with 2 of Harry's CD and Book in case the first order does arrive? Lord knows I can't give one away because... POSTAL SERVICE WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT EVEN IS THAT OVER HERE? NOTHING , ITS A LIE THATS WHAT. So yeah. I'm just... I dont even know if I should say I'm sorry cause like... is anyone even surprised i'm a big piece of shit at this point? I don't know. I don't know what to feel i'm visibly empty these days. So i'm going to try and idk... contact harry's support? Contact the courier? And then maybe buy a simple CD without the book cause ha ha lord knows I'm not make of money for me to go and buy the same thing twice just cause I'm impatient. This post is a big fat sigh. So. Yeah. I just want my CD so I can listen to it and finally continue with my life except it will be better cause it's gonna be a life post-harry's album. I don't want to cry at night for 5 days in a row and who knows how many more cause who knows where this CD is in the world. I'm very sad. I'm just... I'm gone. Iv.
