love doing something I call ‘the big leaf test’ where I put my hand on a leaf and if the leaf is bigger than my hand I go damn that’s crazy

Okay so there's this offer for younger kids at my school that they're being watched the afternoon too and can do their homework and stuff, and the three women running that are actual gems and also you bet your ass they know you whether you're way too old for that or not, right?
Well, one of them approached me today randomly, like completely out of the blue. She just. had a favourite jacket that doesn't fit her anymore and since it's a favourite, she wanted someone she knows to have it and apparently thought of me. Now, the jacket is a tiny bit too big and it's ver, sturdy and kiiiinda military style and looks sick as fuck and that's amazing and in conclusion i love that woman.
But also, my brain apparently saw the jacket and went "that's soooo marquis de carabas", and you know what, my brain's right, it does look a bit similar to how i always picture his coat. Therefore I'll be adding a shitton of pockets inside :D
in conclusion, i got a fantastic jacket today, kinda-but-not-really? teachers are the most amazing people on earth and i need to learn how to properly sew with a machine and all RIGHT THIS SECOND

I like that takin' over the asylum is justttt popular enough that if you check the tags (both here and on ao3) like once every few days or so then, yes, you'll probably find something new... but just barely. a single post. an updated fic. MAYBE some art. if ur lucky.
so funny to me I love smaller fandoms

Thought on Flights Inspired by Other’s Post: Okay, stay with me guys and consider- Flights are generally treated in canon as this big ‘let me prove I am the biggest and baddest’ and the bronzes catch everyone because they’re awesome, yadda yadda, but. But.
Flights as where the ‘males compete for female affection’ meets ‘avian courtship dances’.
Stay with me! Especially with the golds being as possessive as they are over ‘their’ bronzes, Flights being in part a sort’ve ‘do as I do’ aerial dance of sorts ahead of everything wouldn’t be so impossible. Doubly so when you consider that dragonkin are telepathic, so this isn’t just testing physical prowess, but possibly also the strength of the bond between Chaser and Riser. Triply so when you consider fuckers are out there getting hurt chasing greens, implying that it’s not just a matter of outpacing fuckers but of keeping up. You’re more likely to hurt yourself trying to mimic a barrel roll than you are having to do a quick turn, especially when you’d have been training in the latter for Fall.
So, the concept goes, the Riser will be doing acrobatics while the Chasers mimic them. While doing this, the Chasers 1) have to avoid colliding with each other, and 2) can respond more quickly and fittingly if they have a stronger bond with the Riser due to telepathy adding a bit of insight into what they’re going to do (on top of any ‘I know they like to do this’ that may come from knowing each other well). The Riser then chooses from amongst their Chasers based on who can keep up (and in a perfect world also whose rider their own is down for a round with)- either able to last for the less intense but far longer Flights of the rankers or able to keep up with the shorter but far more intense Flights of the small chromatics.
Does it perfectly fit something we’d see on Earth? No, not really. Does the fact these are literally alien creatures with alien abilities, 2/3 of the species of which are genetically engineered abominations against God[affectionate], give us some wriggle room there? I think so.
