#she does not teach

[fandomfluffandfuck]

You ever have one of those professors where you're just like... how? How are you,, employed? Y'know, as an instructor. A teacher. Someone who is supposed to teach. How did you get here because, in the least mean way I can possibly say it, so fucking bad at your job?

#don't get me wrong #I've had plenty of shit teachers and professors but Oh My God #she is making my life living hell #she's a seemingly bright and cheery and nice person #but she's a nightmare instructor #she does not teach #she gives us an impossible amount of work to do all by ourselves throughout the week #she has labs that are half written and are too complex to fit within the lab time #she holds us after lecture to continue talking about stuff that has Nothing to do with the content of the class #literally every class and lab! #she makes us take THREE #I REPEAT T H R E E #quizzes every week #there are three smaller group projects throughout the term and one overarching large group project throughout the term #and she's the only fucking instructor my institution has hired for this class that is REQUIRED for nearly every degree #i'm exhausted by her #like #she's a nice person #but the way she teaches makes me wanna fucking die #anyway #i have homework to do (for her class 🙃 of course) #personal #thoughts #i have to complain about this everywhere apparently... to my friends... to other students... to tumblr... yeah. its bad and i apologize lol

once i was in a creative writing class in college, and in a bit of humor i wrote the line:

"Um," I said, eloquently.

And my teacher was so adamant that I had to remove it because "um is not an eloquent word, so it makes no sense" and i was like my brother in christ it's called Irony

#she was so so adamant about it like. #ma'am. #specifically i did it that way because i wanted to express the fact that the character felt particularly foolish #like their brain being all like 'oh nice job what an eloquent way of putting it dumbass' #but without writing all that out ya know. #but no it was 'wrong' and it had to be removed :/ #creative writing courses have never done a damn thing for me tbh #i know there has got to be a better way to teach it so that it doesn't quash someone's creativity #but i have yet to find one that does so #people are so weird about writing as an art compared to other visual arts :/ #lulu talks

Post war clones living in apartments and such, one day some group of shinies (they will forever be shinies because they were some of the ones that never went to war they are designated vod’ika forever lol also fix the fast aging issue kk) is sitting in an apartment hanging out watching movies or something when someone knocks on their door. They open it up to a crying woman and they’re all ‘Omfg’ and she asks them to take care of something in her apartment because she’s scared. These vod’ike who have never gone to war are ready for this. They can handle this. If their ori’vod could punch droids and snub their noses at Sith, they can handle a domestic dispute for a neighbor.

It’s a spider. She’s scared of spiders and was trying to relax when she found one above her bed. They dispatch the intruder and comfort her with awkward shoulder pats and telling her she’s brave for asking for help.

They have finally done it. They found a vod’ika who’s more vod’ika than them. They’re keeping her. Does she know how to use the instant pot? It keeps scaring them into changing dinner plans. She can help with that.

#star wars #the clones #post clone wars #let them adopt random pathetic creatures they find like their mandalorian roots demand #none of them fall in love with her she’s just their baby sister now #she does know how to use the instant pot tho #she teaches them and they spoil her with random meals and she adores her big brothers

French cooking: you need to be able to make 5 mother sauces that all have daughter sauces and also if your measurements and cooking time is off by any amount the ghost of that chef who killed himself because the fish shipment was late when he was cooking an important meal will appear and ridicule you

Hungarian cooking: to make a chocolate cake, first add a tablespoon of paprika to your sautéed onion,

#my mother doesn't let me try making dishes she doesnt know but the end result is that she teaches me the basics of stuff that she does know #which is still great #i love cooking #like sure the random recipies and my trusty pizza dough that we make at the dorm are great #but having a solid base to start with that lets me make several different things? even better

this is probably an unpopular opinion with the amount of "everyone is married with kids" type future aus people make for sonic characters but i cannot see sonic getting married or having a kid ever. if he did somehow end up with a kid hed be the worlds first transmasc absent father or however the joke goes

#i can only see sonic with a kid if its some random kid he accidentally adopted or whatever #and if he had a partner whatever they have going on probably wouldnt fit the typical idea of how having a partner works at all #i dont think sonic is a very romantic guy to be honest. and being in a serious relationship or ''settling down'' wouldnt be for him #i guess you could argue his feelings towards that sort of stuff could change once hes an adult #but i kinda. dont like. the idea of him suddenly becoming interested in romance and wanting to settle down #as a sign hes ''finally grown up'' or whatever. because lack of interest in romance isnt an immature trait you have to grow out of #some people never want that sort of thing and thats fine #anyway i dont hate fankids to be clear i think theyre fun in concept . like from a design standpoint #taking traits from characters you like to make a new guy out of it is fun #i just cannot imagine those things ever actually happening does that make sense #actually while im at it i dont think rouge would want kids at all either . people want her to be motherly so bad but she just is not #she is the cool older sister figure who teaches you how to steal from the pin container at hot topic without getting caught. not a mom

wormie wormie wormie wormi-

#tiny little guy!!! teeny thing!!! #i imagine that wormie acts kinda like a cat mixed with a crow #also she Violently wiggles her whole body when she sees barnaby. thank you for coming to my ted talk #fully convulsing. acting as though she's jello in a centrifuge #and she Does Not Stop until she is held so barnaby has to figure out how to pick her up w/o hurting her #its very amusing in my mind... hes laughing his ass off as she flops all over the place #she doesnt make noise except for very brief quiet squeaks!! #also wormie is not technically female. no one knows what the fuck she is if anything #but barnaby started referring to her with feminine terms and it Stuck #kinda like finding a cool object and going 'oh she's neat' #yeah like that! #wormie lore hidden in the fantasy au... #scribble salad #wh fantasy au #im melting picturing barnaby holding her by the 'handle' #he commissioned the harness himself... made out of the same leather as his gloves! & the same etched design as his boots! #guys im so soft thinking about them.... barnaby and his little pet worm... #i imagine he teaches her tricks... carries her on his hat.... baby talks her cause she's just that tiny how could he not.... #im picturing a Scenario where barnaby full speed full force bodyslams eddie who was just walkin along #like Full Force. eddie flies back ten feet and leaves a groove in the dirt when he lands - everyone goes Hey What The Fuck Barn?! #but as soon as he does it barnaby is rushing over like 'omfg im so sorry but i had to - you were about to step on wormie'

Another thing that fucks me up about Thancred & Ryne's relationship through most of shb is that Thancred KNOWS hes messing up he KNOWS hes making tons of mistakes with how he deals with Ryne. He knows full well but doesn't do anything about it. He knows he should reassure her but he doesn't, and he probably doesn't even think he can. Because he knows it won't be completely genuine (and Thancred doesn't even know how to be genuine to begin with) and Ryne is too smart to not see that. And because Ryne already has such a low view of herself she'd never accept his words even if they WERE genuine. Because she still knows that Minfilia means more to him than she does.

And Ryne knows that he's fucking up the entire time too. She knows that he's stressed and grieving but she also thinks she knows his feelings better than she does. Ryne assumes a lot about Thancred, she fills in the blanks between everything he doesn't say or do, but she always fills them in negatively. To her, the default is ALWAYS going to be people wishing she was someone she wasn't, because that's all she's ever know (Vauthry saw her as just "the Oracle" and Ran'jit saw her as just another "Minfilia"). She knows Thancred knows she's not Minfilia, but she thinks he wishes she was (and she's not really wrong, but it's not correct either).

And Thancred is scared to say anything, because he doesn't want to decided her life for her, because he knows Ryne's life is her's to do with as she pleases, but in doing so he inadvertly pushes her towards the option no one really wants. Minfilia doesn't want to come back at Ryne's expense, Ryne doesn't want to just be "Minfilia" for eternity, and Thancred doesn't really want to lose Ryne either.

It's only as the final decision is at hand that Thancred really shows that he DOES care about her as an individual person. It's only after Ryne has already decided to take her life into her own hands that she gets to understand, just a bit, of how he really feels.

#AND ALSO like. ryne probably decided to stick around with him after he saved her #both because she feels indebted to him #and also bc she knows that while his treatment isnt ideal #its also much better than anything else shes know #ranjit kept her locked up in a cage completely by herself with maybe some books to pass the time #and hes harsh and literally does not care for her opinions or needs or anything #shes there as a memento. a memory of all the minfilias he saw die. and as a threat in need of imprisonment #ranjit never cared to teach her anything or tell her stories #but thancred did #thancred taught her how to protect and provide for herself #he told her stories about his friends and their adventures #he let her play when time allowed #he let her just #be #whenever it was possible #she probably thought this was all bc he saw her as minfilia #but she was too excited to be able to do stuff to let that stop her #if shed be just 'minfilia reborn' anyway #why not be one that at least got to have fun sometimes? #the one that could hunt and swim and cook #im so Normal about them #thancred waters #ryne waters #minfilia warde #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #xander rambles #xander being insane about ryne

sometimes when you’re new to having a body, you gotta see what kinda crazy stuff it can do

#aurora ghoulette #aurora ghoul #phantom ghoul #aeon ghoul #ghost bc #the band ghost #ghost fanart #nameless ghouls #phantom is like a little kid #look at me! im gonna do something cool! look! #and then he does that shit #to aurora especially since she’s new too #maybe she hasn’t tried that yet…. maybe she doesn’t know about this cool feature! it’s called balance on your head and stretch your legs! #i imagine someone set out a yoga mat for him to do his little poses on #rain tried to teach him some proper yoga but he gets bored #and starts doing weird stretchy stuff with his weird stretchy body #weensyart

Am now contemplating an AU where instead of being cut off from the Avatar State after Azula hits him with lightning, Aang accesses the wisdom of Avatars future instead of past.

Of course, since the Avatar line was reset, there’s only one person that can be.

Korra.

#like she’s not equipped to help him with some of his conflicts in s3 for sure #but I think even just hearing from his future self that he does ok would be a comfort #bonus Korra could teach Aang some spirit bending early and give him a more refined version than the lightshow against Ozai #avatar #atla #lok #avatar the last airbender #legend of korra #avatar legend of korra #atla aang #avatar korra #max writes #max.txt

okay so Morgan has a set of bells we used to teach her to ring when she needed to go out, right. she has LEARNED, however, that this means I need to walk to her location to put her leash on. therefore, here: an incomplete list of reasons my dog wants my attention right now immediately urgently:

need to go outside I have to potty.

there’s a PERSON outside and you aren’t DOING ANYTHING

you are in the bathroom and I can’t get to you and I am mad about it

you are in the kitchen and I can’t get to you and I am mad about it

you are upstairs, where I can get to you perfectly fine, but upstairs is boring and I want you to be downstairs instead.

I want to nap downstairs not upstairs. why are you upstairs

you’re paying attention to your computer and I’m mad about it

one of you just went outside or left and I urgently want to go outside to find them. no I don’t need to go potty.

you made me leave the dead bird outside. righto let me go get that.

BORED. CHASE ME.

BORED. PLAY TUG-O-WAR.

I am starving. yes I’ve had my meals at the normal time I am starving.

you have a sandwich on the table and I want to distract you

you have a sandwich on the table. not to worry let me show you that sandwich so you know I want to eat it.

BORED. PAT ME.

BORED. PLAY FETCH BUT CHASE ME FIRST.

you’re paying too much attention to your phone and I’m mad about it

my toy broke :(

you won’t let me in the kitchen. not to worry let me lead you over to the baby gate so you understand I want you to take me into the kitchen

BORED. GIVE ME FOOD.

I am tired but won’t go to bed because I’m a dumb little baby and you aren’t doing anything about it

any combination of the above

needless to say in her mind it’s a very multipurpose bell,

#the morgan dog #there’s no good way to teach her the bell DOESNT get our attention because. Well. It does #and the fact I’ll then take her outside whether she wants it or not seems to be a sacrifice she’s willing to make

[cr-nack]

I’m not saying anything bad happened, but Rogue getting with Magneto when she was so young, impressionable, and vulnerable is lowkey giving me the ick.

#she was so young and this older man is just guiding and teaching her everything like… #I’m not saying grooming but it does leave a weird taste in my mouth #I thought she was a little when they got together #rogue #magneto #Xmen 97 #x men 97 #x-men 97

[asphy7]

He reminds me of the barking dog man

#myart #rogue trader #warhammer 40k rogue trader #marazhai #marazhai aezyrraesh #does he qualify as baby girl? #my wife used to play 40k and she’s been teaching me about the lore slowly #but I will still probably butcher said lore for my own amusement

thinking about link post-calamity finding comfort in hanging out in gerudo town in his disguise because nobody knows who he is there. instead of being Link, the Hero of Hyrule, he’s just Link, the quirky little hylian vai who runs around buying all the fruit and arrows and keeps trying to convince furosa to finally let her order a noble pursuit from the canteen. but he also surprisingly finds comfort in wearing his lil outfit for other reasons…

#botw #totk #botw link #totk link #femboy link!!! #genderqueer link!!!! #once zelda discovers he had to wear the disguise and eventually that he actually kind of likes it #she teaches him to braid his hair in some of the various styles she does #sometimes even when he presents more masc for his knightly duties he starts putting some lil braids in to keep his hair up while he fights #it’s pretty and practical! #or sometimes he’ll wear some jeweled earrings instead of his inconspicuous little hoops #they’re pretty but also provide element resistance! #PS zelda thinks he looks super hot in both the desert voe armor and the vai outfit #but it different ways #she is queerly attracted to her pretty lil knight #zelink #gerudo link #riju will also do his hair and give him accessories to try on when he visits #her clothes are too small for him #she tries to do gerudo eyeliner on him and zelda but it’s a little too intense for their softer hylian features #buliara walks in bcuz she only gratingly approves of riju inviting both zelda AND link in her quarters #and realizes…they’re all just having fun :) #and also if you don’t mind my input my lady the color of the sarong you were gifted 4 moons ago would suit the little voe much better

Deaf Billy signing onto Blind Max’s hands and them just giggling because he’s signing dirty jokes into her palms. They start laughing harder when Max signs back, making fun of his boyfriends singing. Billy makes fun of her partners clothes because Lucas and El now exclusively wears stuff that feels nice to the touch instead of things that match and they both look a little silly.

Just Billy and Max bonding even though he can’t hear her voice anymore and she can’t see his grin, so he’ll laugh, raspy and little off because he can’t hear it himself, and she’ll be honest with her expressions, beaming at him so he can see she really does enjoy having him back.

#I hc that Billy could have gone deaf after his death because of the mindflayer ripping itself from his head #and the disconnect ruptured his eardrums and probably left it a little hard to emote properly #so his reactions are a little off or hard to read #but he really does mean well #max & billy <3 #it took him a while to learn ASL but El and Lucas dedicated a lot of their time to teaching him just for Max #so they sort of understand what they're talking about but they don't hold it against them #steve and eddie are still learning so they can't make out a lot #but they practice with each other a bunch #which just leads to them knowing a lot of swear words honestly #Max is pretty much fluent in it because she refused to be unable to talk to her undead brother #steve and eddie also learn a bunch of really cheesy phrases because they love watching Billy get giddy over it #just max and billy being disabled and still being little shits #harringroveson #elumax
