so after the prof cancelling like 8 classes in old english, losing quizzes and assignments and grades, never making expectations clear, barely explaining what he was teaching, etc, we didn't complete all of the things on the syllabus and i don't think i can. calculate my grade going into the exam?

there's supposed to have been 9 quizzes with the lowest mark of that 9 dropped; at my best count there was 6 and i have no idea if we can still expect that lowest drop

there was supposed to be two tests and no exam, but i suppose the exam is the second test bc having an exam was his plan from the start and the dept wouldn't allow it so he's doing it via loophole + we did do one test already

we completed 2 translations as expected but i won't have the second one returned before the final exam is due, so no idea how i did on that since i felt ok abt the first one and only got a 50

i also don't have my essay back, which was like 20% and the only thing i've felt confident abt all semester

multiple quizzes and assignments were returned with random numbers on them with no indication of what they were out of (i was given a quiz back with "12" written on the top? 12 out of what? 12%?)

can't find half of the quizzes- i don't think i even have them. i have 1, 3 and 6. we were emailed some of the marks, so they might be in my inbox somewhere? but i don't have the physical quizzes and can't use them to review or like. learn from them

also the prof is out of province rn i think. this is the third time this semester. so i can't meet w him to check up on this

like i need a 65 average in every course to stay in honours, if this course fucked it all up for me i'll lose it i really will. i THINK i'm over that but i have no fucking clue. and not to catastrophize but if i don't get a 65 i can't do my essay next semester and everything is completely set up for me to go do that already, and ofc then i won't graduate in spring and won't get the degree i worked my ass off and paid a fucking exorbitant amt of money for that i am almost finished. i hate this fucking school man

#its a miracle im even passing. i shouldnt be i dont know shit #but it genuinely is not my fault this prof is the worst #hes ancient so he barely makes it to class (he hasnt been on time once all semester) and hes sick all the time #he can barely hear us talk and keeps losing and forgetting crucial shit for class #almost every time he cancelled class it was last minute and i mean within an hour of class starting. i was already in the building #he doesnt really teach so much as say shit and then act confused when we dont understand immediately #he Stated that he knew we wouldnt understand basic grammar bc we werent taught it. which is true and was said kindly #and then acted surprised when we didnt fucking know what a preposition is or the difference between that and a conjunction #hes also just. super boring. but thats just me i can see how he would be fascinating to someone else #and thats the worst part hes not even a terrible guy hes just a bad prof. hes nice hes just absolutely clueless #he literally gave us each a different translation of beowulf from his own collection for a project and let us keep them #shame i cant fucking read it! bc its in old english! and i still cant read old english!#its way beyond time for him to retire but he just. wont fuckin leave apparently #levi.txt #i couldve taken middle ages and the movies. middle ages and the movies gets to write a screenplay as a final assignment #middle ages and the movies gets to go watch the green knight and is taught by a prof i think is really cool #but noooo intro to old english is the only medieval studies req that fit into my schedule bc i live in a fucking hell dimension

Fallout oc interview

I saw @tarberrymentats do this and I want to do it too cause I have no impulse control

1. Choose an OC.

2. Answer them as that OC.

3. Tag 5 people to do the same.

I tag anyone who wants to do this!

1. What is your name?

”Audrey Harper.” Audrey pauses, “My married name was Anderson, but I’ve dropped that since coming from the vault.”

2. How old are you?

“30 when I went into the vault. I guess officially you have to add two hundred so years”

3. What do you look like?

“Blue-Green eyes, dark hair. I have a break in my nose that didn’t heal right, I got it from a scrap in grade school; but my glasses usually cover that up.”

4. Where are you from? Where do you live now?

“I was born in New York, raised in Boston my whole life. Now I’m living in the middle of Fenway park.” Audrey smiles. “Right next third base.”

5. What was your childhood like?

“It was alright.” Audrey shrugges her shoulders. “My family was well off, but it was easy even at a young age to see what the world was coming to. Mom and Dad took very good care of me though, I wanted for nothing.”

6. What groups are you friendly with? Are you allied with any factions?

“The Minutemen took me in as soon as I can out of the vault, gave me firm standing in this new world.” Audrey glances away for a moment, “I—uh—I also have worked with the Railroad a few times. Trying to track Kellogg.”

7. Tell me about your best friend.

“Kerry Long would be my best friend.” Audrey smiles, “She’s the one who found me up at the vault entrance and she taught me how to use a pistol. Kerry is a very strong woman, I have got to say I admire her.”

((Kerry Long belongs to @abstract-apocalypse ))

8. Do you have a family? Tell me about them!

Audrey tenses, clamming up.

“I—I have a son out there somewhere.”

9. What about a partner or partners?

“Not anyone at the moment.” Audrey blushes. “There is hope for the future, though.”

10. Have you ever heard of The Brotherhood of Steel? What do you think about them?

“I have met a knight or two that were patrolling with the Minutemen.” Audrey frowns, “I can’t say I’ve very fond of them. They are extremely rude to Nick.”

11. Who are your enemies, and why?

“The Institute. But they are everyone’s enemy.”

12. What about The Enclave?

“The Who?”

13. How do you feel about Super Mutants?

“They are something I’m not fond of running into. I’ve never run faster than when a suicider was after me.”

14. Have you ever fought a Deathclaw?

“Nope. Don’t want to.”

15. What’s the craziest fight you’ve ever been in?

“When I was in Sanctuary a group of raiders decided to attack a fully fortified settlement. I didn’t do any fighting myself but it was so impressive watching the Minutemen fighting.”

16. Do you like fighting?

Audrey frowns, “Not really. I don’t feel cut out for it.”

17. What’s your weapon of choice?

“I use a pipe pistol Kerry gave to me. It’s not much but it can stop a raider.”

18. How do you survive? Your wits, your charm, your skills, brute force, some combination? (a.k.a. what’s your S.P.E.C.I.A.L?)

“A partial college education doesn’t really do me much good in the wasteland, but I feel like it’s given me enough smarts to get by.” Audrey shrugs, “I feel like I get lucky most of the time.”

((S3 P6 E5 C7 I8 A6 L9))

19. Have you ever been in a vault? What do you think about them?

“Yes...,” Audrey trails off. “I’m not very fond of them. Brings back bad memories.”

20. How do you beat all the radiation around here? Has it affected you?

“Rad-X and Rad-a-way are pretty effective. Mostly I just stick to Diamond City so I don’t have to worry about it too much.”

21. What’s your favorite wasteland critter?

“They usually are the same as they were before, but I still love dogs.”

22. What’s your least favorite wasteland critter?

“Radroaches. They were terrible when they were small and even worse now that they are big.”

23. How do you feel about robots?

Audrey smiles, “I like them. Some have quite the personalities.”

24. How many caps do you have on you right now?

“Uh,” Audrey pulls some out of her pocket and counts them out. “Ten.”

25. Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla?

“I was actually fond of Sunset before the war. My family had travelled out west once and it was my favorite drink. Didn’t have it back East and Nuka Wild doesn’t come close.”

26. Do you do chems?

“Nope.”

27. Do you ever think about the Pre-War world?

“Sometimes.” Audrey smiles fondly. “It had it’s problems and I know it was doomed but it’s hard not to miss it.”

“The little things like having ice cream on a hot day, getting dressed up to go on a movie date. Just the little mundane things.”

28. What’s your deepest regret? What would you do differently?

“There are a lot of things I regret. I wish I would have confronted my husband about his cheating. I wish I wouldn’t have stopped school to be with him.” Audrey sighs, “Nothing I can do about it now though. I can only move forward.”

29. What’s your biggest achievement? Or what do you hope to achieve?

“Is surviving an achievement?” Audrey smiles. “For a pre-war housewife, who just had a baby and is out of shape, I am fairing better than I ever thought I would.

30. What do you want for the future? For yourself? Your friends? The world?

“I want my son...,” Audrey frowns. “Or at the very least answers. I want to maybe settle down with someone... be at peace after all of this.”

For the "if they had a kid" meme: If Red Snowing had another kid, after Emma&Neal.

(I’m totally doing this as though Emma was de-aged to being the youngest) I have no restraint so here’s all three kids in age order.

Oldest Child:

Name:

Neal Robert Charming (16)

Gender: Male

General appearance: He often wears jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoody - his favourite colour’s blue so he often wears those colours. But also can pull off wearing a suit pretty well. Normally wears a watch. In general just a really chill style like his personality. He has blue eyes like David’s and his brothers, and hair only a little lighter than Snow’s which curls when wet, he’s fairly tall and will end up around David’s height.

Personality: Neal’s really chill, he’s super intelligent and really into reading, he has a really good imagination and get’s along with Henry. Never without a book in his hand. Has a kind heart and would stick up for anyone if they’re in being picked on, which is the only reason he’s ever gotten in trouble at school. He also quite likes swimming, it’s one of the only sporting activities he does. He’s very mature and extremely close to his family and extended family. Apt at sword fighting. Once broke a kid’s nose for laughing at his brother’s dyslexia.

Special Talents: He’s a product of True Love, like Emma, so has magic like she does. He’s really good at it, he often uses it to entertain his siblings, or to clean up/ fix things they’d get in trouble for.

Who they like better: He loves all of his parents equally, there’s not really favourites, but he and Ruby have similar personalities and she’s the one who buys him the most books (as she and Belle are close friends and Belle’s always telling her about books)

Who they take after more: He’s very much like Snow in looks and personality, but also inherited David’s charm, and Ruby’s sense of humour.

Personal Headcanon: Neal’s gay and is very open about it, he’s obviously supported by his family, especially his parents because none of them are really straight. (They’re all bi, David is more interested in females he’s like a 1 or 2 on the Kinsey Scale) He also goes on to study literature at college outside of the town.

Face Claim: Young Logan Lerman

Middle child:

Name:

Tyler James Charming (14)

Gender: Male

General Appearance: It changes from day to day, it’s normally similar to his big brother’s with jeans and a graphic t-shirt, sometimes he wears shirts and jeans which looks pretty smart, sometimes it’s a football (soccer) shirt and jeans or shorts. He has hair only a shade darker than Neal, his eyes are also blue like his brother’s and father’s but a bit darker, his hair curls when wet, he is also like his brother in being rather tall for his age.

Personality: He’s really funny, he likes comics and comic book characters so. little nerdy, he gets along well with his big brother and little sister as well as their parents but also gets along really well with Henry (who got him into the comic book characters). Bit of a Captain America wanna be, he sticks up for what he believes is right which sometimes gets him in trouble at school but he believes it’s worth it. Very sporty - he’s on the soccer, baseball, and track teams. Quick temper over things that matter. Rather mischievous. Once broke a kids nose for laughing at his brother’s sexuality.

Special Talents: Ruby’s his biological mother, she passed on the werewolf gene so he started to turn when he turned 12, but she prepared him so he can handle it very well - he and Ruby go out running in the woods when its the time of the month. He can perform very weak magic when he’s in his human form (because the werewolf genes tend to overpower the magic ones) he mainly uses it to invent things or to fix things like his skateboard.

Who they like better: He and Ruby obviously have a connection as they’re both wolves together, and he admires his father’s knight/prince morals and humble roots, but he’s such a mommy’s boy it’s unbelievable - he’s often around Snow.

Who they take after more: Like the rest of his siblings, he’s the perfect mixture of all three of his parents, he looks very much like Ruby, and isa bit of a badass like Snow, but he’s very like David personality wise.

Personal Headcanon: Snow taught him archery which he picked up very quickly. He’s also smart like his brother, but has dyslexia so he has to work harder than Neal does (Neal helps him without making it a big thing which Tyler appreciates) He started to love musicals when they watched one in New York in one of the family’s trips out of the town (which happen very often) and joined the drama group at his school, he is very good and gets the main part, he was very shy to tell his family about it, his whole family (parents, sibling, his ‘uncle’ Henry, his Grandparents (Regina and Robin), Granny, and his ‘cousins’ all go to his shows)

Face Claim: David Mazouz

As a wolf:

Youngest Child:

Name: Emma Ruth Charming (3)

Gender: Female

General appearance: She’s the only of the three kids who has blonde hair like David, it’s normally really curly, she calls it her lion hair and objects to having it brushed but will put up with Snow braiding it for her (if Snow can get her to sit still for long enough). She’s the ultimate clothes thief which David and Ruby blame Snow for as she’s a little bandit, so she often has one of David’s plaid shirts which are so long they drag on the floor. She point blank refuses to wear pink like ever. She’s normal in jeans and t-shirts which have animals or Disney characters on them. She quite likes the colour yellow so wears a lot of that, would live in pyjamas and character/animal onesies if she could. Normally has her blanket and a lion plush toy/teddy with her. She’s very small, even for her young age, as she deaged to what she was like in her first childhood - so she was small from neglect and from being premature. She’s always cold.

Personality: The troublemaker of the three, somehow managed to inherited all of all three of her parent’s stubbornness so they have their work cut out, has good intentions but will often put herself in danger (’No Emma, you do not touch daddy’s sword, especially not to try and fight a mean witch.”) She is very loving and rather clingy, especially to David, she’s adored by all the waitresses at Granny’s where Ruby will take her with her to work sometimes if David’s working at the station and Snow’s teaching. She adores all of her family and extended family, but is a little shy around strangers. Very cheeky, gives Tyler a run for his money, and mischievous. She goes through the habit of trying to climb as high as she can up the cupboard and the many bookcases in the house, she’s also awesome at hiding cause she can fit in small spaces, luckily Ruby can always find her with her werewolf senses. She can remember the abuse from her first childhood which gives her nightmares so she often sleeps in her parents’ bed, so also will become scared suddenly when she remembers things, its something which will take a long time to heal. Otherwise she’s very happy and energetic, she’s extremely loving and loves spending time with her brothers and being read stories by Neal, and watching movies with Tyler (who claims he only watches the animated ones for Emma that he doesn’t like them at all.)

Special talents: She’s a product of true love so will be able to do magic, but she hasn’t grown into doing it just yet, she loves watching her brothers and Regina (whom she calls grandma) perform magic.

Who they like better: She loves all her parents equally but she’s such a daddy’s girl, she’s always following him around every where and wanting to play games with him or watch movies, or just cuddle - so much so she gains the nickname Koala from the way she clings onto him, not that he minds. Her mothers aren’t jealous or envious in the slightest, they think it’s adorable.

Who they take after more: She’s a perfect mixture of all of them, but is marginally more like David in personality. She looks like a little version of Snow but with blonde hair, her eyes are a shade of green between her two mothers’, but they have flecks of blue in them.

Personal head canon: She’s always hyper so her parents are very careful with what she eats, she also has to have special shakes to help her grow as she’s so small, she’s a little behind developmentally but they’re not too worried. When she’s a little older she gets (re)diagnosed with ADHD. She’s never been afraid of Ruby, or Tyler, in wolf form, sometimes the only way she’ll take a nap is if Ruby turns into a wolf and cuddles up with her. She loves going on the trips she and her brothers are taken on around the US (and a little later the world). She often can’t sleep at night, she will have nightmares and wake up or she’ll cry whenever they try to put her down, the only way she’s guaranteed to sleep is if David takes her on a drive, in which case she’ll fall asleep in her carseat.

Face Claim: Mia Talerico.

Send me a ship and I’ll tell you their child!
