ASKS - Mini Stories/Headcanons/Ideas
Little ask-stories sent to my main blog, posted here!
violetsnowstorm555 said: Archaeology majors agree never to dig anywhere near campus for fear of what might come up.
Anon said: What about that one kid who thinks the fair folk are actually ALIENS
k4t3yk4t said: There was that one occasion with the Vegan™ freshman who discovered the black fur coat in her roommate's closet. She was so appalled... She stole it, not to keep, but to confront her roommate later about. She never got the chance to. She wasn't seen for months, but eventually came back. She was different, when she did, though.. And never went near the pool again.
unicorn-aly said: The Girl With The Eye Tattoo on The Back Of Her Neck™; To always be kind to That One Janitor; don't pass that broom closet unless it's a life or death situation (and even then run as fast as you can); to say your purpose and you mean no harm when you enter That Room; leave exactly 9 cups of vanilla creamer under that tree; don't step on the tiny hills lest your head should face the opposite way for the rest of your life; never ever EVER pick up and keep the things you find in the mini garden 2/3
(I can’t find the other two asks connected to this which is a tragedy bc this fragment is a Gem)
chaoswolf1982 said: I am sooooo tempted to headcanon that EU is one of the places where citizens from Night Vale attend for higher education, but due to NV's own innate weirdnesses, those who've attended find absolutely nothing unusual or strange about the place, it being equivalent to them as being a quiet and plain small-town college. A good math program, decent arts scholarship, but nothing particularly stands out about it.
scarymaryanne said: OHMYGOD I'm in love with Elsewhere Uni! Just thinking about the RAs and how far they are willing/allowed to go to keep their students from getting nabbed. Like a rota for who rings the bells at dawn and dusk and no one will ever skip that duty, not again. And watching for signs of who might get taken. You can't foil them all the time cos they get mad but that tiny dance major on your floor is TOO fragile to revel with the Gentry and you will camp outside their door with salt and iron and the RAs who go in at the end of the year to get back those who were taken spend all year hoarding favours and gifts to use to get people out. They keep the crows sweet because while they would never, ever spy on the Fair Folk they've been known to drop tidbits of information and gossip that come in handy. They're the silver tongued English and Poli-sci majors who know exactly how to wheedle those who were taken back home
thecommrade said: EU idea. That one kid that everything seems to revolve around them. Are they the ring master? Are they a fae? Do they have forbidden dark magic? Nobody really knows. They're honestly too crazy to get a straight answers from them. Its always some cryptic poem of nonsense.
themarginalthinker said: They slide their notebook towards you. "I won't bite, promise!" You look down at the offering, the bullet points and neatly written summaries of the professor's lecture. Though sleep-deprived you are, pull away, sudden sickening realization of what you've done. They're smiling again, and there's something pinched between their fingers - a single hair. You'd taken their offer. They took their due. You don't acknowledge them day after next. Their eyes don't match. You know that hair color. You try to get your bearings on what's going on in class, not paying a whole lot of attention to the new student. Who is paying a lot of attention to you. "Bad week, huh?" They ask. You nod absently, suddenly realizing you don't know anyone really well in this class enough to ask for notes. Damn it..."Want to see mine?" The new student asks. You look over, finally - they seem friendly enough, an why not. Their eyes do not match. "Um..." You hesitate. They smile and /their eyes do not match/.
roseverdict said: headcanon: EU's school song rings a little longer, a bit louder, at home games. and in dorms. and honestly it's always playing just out of hearing range for the upperclassmen but the freshmen are freaking out that there's the song aLWAYS GOING-
solongraggedydoctor said: Elsewhere university. Their are three distinct types of non believers who attend. All three arrive unaware of the far world type 1) rapidly changes their views on the world, and accept and believe. Type 2) they willingly follow the rules, as they've seen what happens otherwise, but they say they don't believe, if just so if it turns out to be a joke they don't look stupid, they get got a few times. Type 3) they outright deny, and oddly, no matter what they do, nothing happens ... And oddly, no matter what they do, nothing ever happens to them. They show disrespect, follow none of the fae rules, and are still left alone, but then, towards the end of their final year, they kinda just seem to disappear, and no one really seems to remember where they went, and even years after the fact, no one you know has had any kind of contact with type 3, other than rumours that they moved away, and did something unnoteworthy.
las-lus said: About elsewhere university: Kids who dont notice time running slower because "fuck, isnt this how it usually runs in calculus' class?". Kids who Starr drawing weird shit on their notebooks and their friends dont know if its from that weird geometry class, if they started a new drawing style of If they've been abducted. Im majoring in physics and really I cant stop thinking How hard would It be for us to notice If our friends had been taken
kass-king-of-sass said: Hi, just wanted to say your stuff for elsewhere university is amazing. I don't know if you're still accepting stuff and I've never submitted an ask like this before but here goes. I've been imagining mischievous or angered fae living in residence halls and playing tricks on the inhabitants. Pulling the fire alarm at 2 am, locking people out of their rooms, messing with the thermostats, burning food in the microwaves, things like that. All the hallmarks of a bad roommate but with a fae twist.
Anon said: There are certain alleys on campus that, on some nights, lead to faerie pavilions. If you bring them an offering, the fair folk will let you dance with them and will not harm you as long as you don't eat the food and leave before dawn.
Anon said: Oh, oh! I'm an interior design/architect student! Just imagining all the little tricks of the eyes that you could learn from the fae and then implement in human design is so exciting!
Anon said: sorry im sure youre getting a veritable INFLUX these days but imagine: student at Elsewhere whose parents' expectations have guided them into med/law/some other 'esteemed' course but theyre secretly into/good at art or singing or something. the fae would have such good sport luring them away after they sang under their breath in the wrong part of campus or one of their pages of doodling got blown in the breeze out of the window :3:3
Anon said: A freshman who lives off campus in her own apartment but Knows more than any other freshman or off campus student. She smiles and speaks carefully eyes always watching she goes by a name that's familiar to some until one night at a party she challenges one of Them to a game of 21. She drops 2 pictures on the table one of 2 girls a younger her and dark haired girl with a duffle bag in her hands and the other is of the dark haired girl with a boy who has empty eyes. "I want to see my sister again"
Anon said: In the end, it turns out she was never any different from you. She just happens to be from Iceland, just happened to have grown up with Gentry in her garden and the sea in her back yard. The one place where one lives with Them in the mountains, the one place where even the government respect Them. She never needed salt, she had hemmed her skirts with rocks and painted her nails with volcanic ashes. You conclude that international students can be just as foreign as the Fae (3/3)
Anon said: A student invested in geopolitics strikes a deal; "Give me the power to stop the corporate damming and I'll make sure no human ever nears the Nile". After all, the fae doesn't care whether their actions hurt the humans, and the student now posses unprecedented bargaining chip against at least four different governments

tell you what, flags. i dont think ive ever seen anything with raul esparza in, but i could probably spot him accidentaly in a large crowd, thats how familiar he is to me now.
Good! this can be my legacy, spreading the appreciation
Although I do recommend checking out some of his better roles (chilton in hannibal, bobby in company) since they’re I think pretty objectively worth watching and are in entertaining works

I KNOW WHAT THE LAST AIRBENDER IS! It's when you've got a fan attached to a bendy pipe. And the last kink in the pipe is the last airbender, because it's the last time the air bends!

Do me a favour please? I'm really bad at spending money, like i spend lots, just not in high amounts on single things, so can you help me justify to myself spending £30 on the silhouettes tarot? I need it
Ok, well actually I’m going to do something I don’t normally do. I’m going to tell you what I DON’T like about the Silhouettes Tarot. Because I lusted after this deck for over a year, before the second edition came out, but after the first one sold out. And when I finally had it in my hands... I was underwhelmed! I still use it fairly regularly, but it’s not everything I thought it would be.
So here are the majors, I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of them but whatevs.
Now the Minors pretty much stick to a color theme. It’s hard to tell sometimes the difference between Chalices and Swords tho, because Chalices are bluish and Swords are purply, but they’re not the same shade throughout the suit, so it’s easy to mistake a Sword for a Chalices or vice versa at first glance.
So when we look at the suites as a group, here’s where they start to bug me. Most of these cards seem to have an underwater theme, which is awesome! But then you look at like... the 2 or the 8 or 9 and it’s like... wait, what’s going on here? These cards don’t seem to fit. Are we sticking with an underwater theme or what? What’s up with the damn hats?
And some of the cards use these big flowers as Chalices, like the Ace and the 6, but then like the 5 uses these urn looking things, the 7 & 8 use hats... what’s up with that?
Swords next so you can see how easy it might be to mistake the purples for the blues. And we have the same issue here with sticking to a theme. Umbrellas? Toys? Thorns? Glass? There’s nothing here making the suit a cohesive group, and I think this might be the worst suit in the deck, but they all have this issue.
With the Pentacles, it’s mostly the 2 and the 8 that bug me, but overall not so bad. There are actually Stars to represent pentacles in *almost* all of the cards. Can you tell I like things to match, just a little bit?
Ok, I really have to say I love the coloring of the wands, because after all of the cool colors of the other three suits, this fiery orange/red REALLY stands out. It’s kinda weird because there seems to be a garden theme kiiiiiinnnnnddddaaaa like the Pentacles are trying to have. In this suit those damn puppets on the five are what really rub me the wrong way. I love the 3 and 4 but again, shouldn’t those tall tall flowers belong to Pentacles?
So I’ve complained quite a bit and now you might have a couple reasons to save your money (*cough* for Prisma Visions if you don’t have it *cough*). BUT on the other hand.. I don’t think I could have NOT bought this deck, even knowing what I do now. The anticipation that I worked up before I finally got it was too much to give up for nothing. And I really do still enjoy working with it and it reads just fine. It’s just not my favorite like I thought it was going to be. I don’t use it nearly as much as I had planned to.
If you love it anyway.... fuckin buy it! If you’re not sure anymore.. wait for something else to come around, and ask me again later ;)

I don’t see any homo/biphobia toward white males (my demographic, so the only one I can comment on) so no problems here Mike!
Thank you, that's good to hear! I too am a bisexual white male (White-passing Latino if you're nasty) and I gotta hold it down for my people!

solongraggedydoctor replied to your post: solongraggedydoctor replied to your po...
Easiest way of getting a boy to hold hands with you, is by holding his hand. Literally just grab his hand, and unless you physically repulse him, he’ll keep hold. If he likes you in anyway, and you’re stood still he might start playing with your hand
but what if he finds it weird? or if he's physically repulsed? i mean, usually i can tell if a guy is physically repulsed by me but what if he pulls away? what kind of excuse do i use? 'hello there boy i would like to hold your hand and i do apologize for overstepping my boundaries i'm going to go die in a hole now excuse me'
thank you for being this awesome teacher by the way XD sorry if my questions are dumb

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman.

I will fight to the death over sweet popcorn v salty. Sweet is best
A challenger, huh? Allow me to give you my legit, logical reasons why you are wrong.
One. Popcorn has the texture of something like a combination of crisps/chips and bread. These are two savory foods. When popcorn is fresh, it is crunchy, like chips/crisps. With this kind of texture, I would be inclined to make it taste more like the familiar chips/crisps, by augmenting it with salt. Unless you have only ever had stale, “soft” popcorn, and I have the greatest pity for you if you have, you can see why combining the texture of popcorn with salt makes more sense than combining it with sugar.
Two. Have you ever tasted plain popcorn? It has a pretty bland taste, but it does have a hint of savoryness. Putting salt on a savory food makes much more sense than putting sugar on it, especially if you’d be absolutely dousing it with sugar. The moderate amount of salt complements the savory taste, and the varying amount of butter combines with the salt in order to make that perfect taste that comes hot out of the machine in the cinema or the microwave at home.
Your move.
