#while their teacher was out of the room

[fictionadventurer]

All the tour groups in Springfield should be very proud of me for how well I refrained from sharing all my fascinating Lincoln facts.

#there were so many school groups! #a giant one came in RIGHT AFTER i entered lincoln's cabinet room #part of me was screaming 'children i NEED to tell you about all these idiots and their insane drama!' #a smarter part of me understood that would be super weird #so instead i regaled different individuals of my own traveling party after we had the room to ourselves #then at lincoln's tomb we lucked out in getting there during the ten minutes of the day when school groups weren't there #which meant we got a personal tour from a guide who seemed thrilled to have grown-ups to talk to #he and my dad chatted about fishing for a long while in the entry #it didn't feel disrespectful because it totally felt like the kind of conversation lincoln would have understood and joined in on #and then we went on our way but the guide then chased us down to share all the fascinating lincoln stories as we went along #(shout-out to lefty you were great) #and then a school group found us so we made a graceful exit #but outside a teacher was explaining to a different group about how robert was significant in his own right so he's buried at arlington #and the RESTRAINT i showed in not immediately informing them that he was present at three presidential assassinations! it was rather heroic #and then when we toured lincoln's house the guide (who accidentally made it clear he was a revolutionary war buff) #(which made it a bit hilarious he was stuck with lincoln) #asked for questions before we started and someone asked about lincoln's 1860 election campaign! #aka one of my SPECIAL NICHE AREAS OF OBSESSION! #you cannot imagine how desperately i wanted to tell him ALL ABOUT seward and thurlow weed #anyway it was fun to go back now that i actually know stuff about lincoln #but it was also a bit frustrating because now i know how much they leave out #(though there was cool new info and artifacts) #(the blood-stained piece of laura keene's dress was very morbid and very cool) #also it reminded me that i still have that book on the 1860 election i've yet to read and the hype is so real #presidential talk

so john smith is a character that ten "made up" (ie. the tardis generated him to fit the time period it picked). a fundamentally empty person that he can't control will do. someone that is missing the inherent parts of what makes ten himself, like not just his two hearts but things that truly deeply matter to him. things like not hurting anyone or not abandoning a companion or not being someone that teaches children how to shoot a weapon and fight in a war. human ten might show echoes of normal ten here or there like the art or the intelligence but their differences are rly kinda the point of the arc. multiple times human ten is given the opportunity to give himself up and sacrifice himself for those around him and it's only until the very, very last minute that he makes the decision that normal ten would've done in an instant. this isn't your normal amnesia storyline; ten temporarily erased himself from existence to give the family of blood a chance of dying peacefully, and replaced himself with someone else who wouldn't do that same thing; who is so ordinary and complacent and cishet and probably even likes the texture of pears

#obligatory asterisk on the not hurting anyone bit but like. ten IS a pacifist i think this is one of his defining character traits #and one of the main things he carries over from the growth that nine did over his season #tenth doctor #dr who #sorry i needed to get out my thoughts on the human ten arc it's still haunting me #BECAUSE. ten's humanity while being a time lord is such a constant theme with him #i don't think john smith embodies humanity more than ten does. just a different aspect of it. #you could def argue a more uglier side of it. bc like. [gestures vaguely] lmao #for a second i thought it was a normal amnesia storyline tho and i thought it was cute that human ten was a teacher. #bc im of the opinion if ten existed in a modern au he'd be a high school teacher. undeniably #opinion redacted as i actually found out what was actually happening tho. lmao. #nobody gets this stupid arc like i do i have grievances with it but it Says So Much About Ten #while he isn't there at all. this is the point. he isn't there and martha has to take on everything by herself #skimming the confidential eps for that arc and the show making martha go through all that. was probably them trying to show that martha #is like strong and capable and has grown to such a position of trust for ten across the season. However. [gestures vaguely] #white british writer's room that doesn't get that racism isn't just some episodic villain martha has to face this one time #10 era

We’re having a lot of issues with daycare and for the first time in 6 years, I don’t feel comfortable sending my child there. I haven’t been super happy with them regardless (never experienced any of this stuff with my oldest) but I’m also a veteran daycare mom so I understand how it works better than someone who has only utilized it for 1-2 years and I’m close with the owner and a lot of the teachers. I am typically in the “relaxed” pool of moms where I don’t let little things bug me but since June, we’ve had too many things come up that we are like, what are you doing???? I’ve spoken to the owner and her assistant about it (more than once!!!) and expressed my concerns about her teachers lack of communication and how they handle things. And the last week the current teachers are handling things very badly and I really don’t like it. Like considering keeping her home today because I don’t know that I trust them anymore.

#this is such a strange sucky feeling for me #because a year ago i never had an issue ever #and then she broke her tooth #and while the tooth isn’t the issue #the way her classroom handled it was absolutely horrible #and the only reason I didn’t pull her out is because we went on a vacation after and I was able to not freak out on them #and since she broke her tooth in June it’s been a downward slope of bad choices and terrible communication #it’s really the preschool room #older toddlers was fine #we actually said we think it’s been since when the one teacher passed away in November #it’s just been doing downhill since then!!! #I don’t know what to do

i haven't been having the best time lately

#sorry vent incoming in tags. you dont have to read you really can skip this #/so the day before yesterday i had a major argument with mom. about something incredibly small but she got super mad at me (basically i #suggested she might have made a mistake while cleaning the oven bc when i turned it on i smelled and felt burning chemicals. like- #-teary eyes and sneezing i wasn't imagining it. and she got super mad and started yelling) #for the whole afternoon it was either silent treatment or yelling abt how what i said is 'unforgivable' #and ofc rejecting apologies and attempts to calm the situation down bc 'this isn't something you can just fix with an apology' #i literally just asked if she's sure everything went right with the oven cleaning. bc it was done in a rush. #so anyway at 10pm i HAD to get the situation to a manageable level bc i was starving and she was in the living room (we have an open kitchen #) so if i wanted to get sth to eat i'd have to confront her. so screaming match ensued again with me apologizing and explaining my point - #and her yelling over me. it went on for 40 minutes. finally after me apologizing like 70 times she calmed down but said that 'what i did is- #-unacceaptable and she does not give permission for it to happen again'. i went to sleep without getting anything to eat of course. #and this fucked me up. bc i really thought we were doing better. i really thought our relationship would only get better now esp after we - #-bonded on vacation. but turns out not. and shes still lowkey mad. #THEN yesterday im studying for a zoology exam and mention it on the phone with her #she goes 'who do you have zoology for'. i respond with the name of the teacher. confused. #'professor (x) died on friday.' #?????????? #'it's not published anywhere yet so yeah YOU have to tell your class' #i had a panic attack legit. i threw up from stress. i couldnt do it. first off bc of shock and secondly bc how am i supposed tojust jump #into group chat like 'oh hey btw professor died' #thankfully the info was posted officially by uni at 10pm. so i didnt have to do it. but mom kept pressing me to the whole day #i was nauseaous all of yesterday bc of it. i couldnt manage to study anymore after the shock. sure he was older but he was so energetic and #seemed healthy. i wouldnt have expected it it was just. a huge shock. im still not over it #like you cant know someone for half a year then not be shaken when they suddenly die yknow. and mom is lowkey making fun of me like #'what were you emotionally attached??? he wasnt anyone close' #no he wasnt but im still shaken. and being mocked is only making it worse. as is having to keep studying for his subject for the next few- #-days. #sorry ok vent over theres just. a lot happening for me and im struggling i needed to let it out ig. theres just too much at once #vent #death mention

i have obtained a SIGNIFICANT and POTENTIALLY CARCINOGENIC BIOHAZARD and im BEYOND EXCITED ABOUT THIS

#the bhiohazard in question? a couple of nastyass turnouts!!!! a jacket and some pants!!!!! #yeah theyre sitting abt three feet away from me but dw!!! theyre in a big garbage bag so its ok ^-^ #basically the EMT program (that im almost done with. as a side note but woot woot) is selling their old student ambulances #since theyre a bitch to maintain and we have a newer indoors simulator (its like. the back of an ambulace built into a room) #(like the back and one of the sides are open and it doesnt have a drivers compartment (duh) and no tires but is otherwise a Real Ambulance #which we use for practicing) #anyways so these old student ambulances gotta get cleaned out before they can be sold yeah? #and as it HAPPENS!! theyve been storing a SHIT TON of nasty filthy smelly turnouts in there for the past While #like probably 12-16 Large garbage bags full #(for those who dont know: turnouts are what those fucking. firefighter uniforms are called. like the ones they wear In Fires) #and they dont know what to do with them so theyre gonna get thrown away next week #so my TEACHER!!! was like 'yall if anyone Wants any of that shit you can literally just help urself' #so i went down today and poked thru some bags and GOT STUFFS!!! #anyways i am excited not only bc Turnouts Cool but ALSO bc theyre Super Fucking Insulated #bc theyre meant to be worn inside Massive and Super Hot fires #which yeah protects u from extreme heat but my GENUOS BRAIN also realized this: they would be STUPID COZY in cold weather #and i happen to be moving to a rather cold part of the states in a few months!!!! #so now i have free winter gear and its EXTRA SEXY STYLE #however u CANNOT clean turnouts at home bc #a) they gotta be washed with Extra Strong Industrial Fucking Machines #(called 'extractors' not 'washing machines') #and b) #they can and WILL leech nasty fucking toxins from structural fires into your machine and contaminate everything forever <3 #so ive reached out to some 'send away' turnout laundry services #idk if theyre gonna do it tho cuz um. im Not associated with a fire department <3 #so if that fails ill just do the best i can at home!!! <- research mode Engaged #either way theyre sexy and Yes i can still smell them despite them being bagged in a Super Rugged Industrial Manly Garbage Bag #(i didnt tie it super tight) #btu thats ok whats life without Danger <3 #whatever the fuck

i love acting like a model student bc you can get away w so much shit bc teachers just end up trusting you. do u know how many books i stole from school from the teachers i didn't like. so many. or the amount of times teachers would send me away to work by myself bc they trusted me to not cheat or actually do my work. amazing plays by me.

#when my teacher let me take a whole test during my lunch period while he stepped out of the room the entire time #or when i asked if i could go to the spare classroom across the hall bc i wanted peace and quiet to work and she said she normally isnt #allowed to do that but did it for me anyways bc she trusted me to behave so i went on my phone the whole class #nice #like thanks for making my life easier lmao

i miss being in band in middle school.. there's nothing like being in a band or an orchestra its literally one of the peak human experiences.

#bs #i didnt even like my instrument or cared about music at all either i was constantly doing the bare minimum #band is just PE for nerds #i remember one of my friends being like 'you should choose pe as your elective next year its literally just a class where you play games' #and girl. she had no idea. she could never understand #band is just you go you vibe. you hang out. you sit in a room and 'practice' (aka just talking but play your instruments every few minutes #so the teacher doesnt get suspicious) #i think it helped that i was playing one of the easier instruments so i could get by on not practicing ever and no one cared #well one time when we did a jazz song i had a solo and that sucked cause i had to try #but other than that playing trombone was just doing really simple simple basslines and just sitting there while the clarinetists did solos #and our teacher gave us t-shirts and took us to dennys one time

[disappointment-comics]

something to be said about bakugou getting the Troubled Teen Industry redemption treatment. like of course he deserved to be corrected for his early series behaviour but. some of y’all just wanna see “bad” kids get their “comeuppance”

#too tired to elaborate on this but if you actually look into effective behavioural management in students #vs TTI tactics (humiliation loss of autonomy endangerment escalation etc) #it’s just really clear to me that a) hero society fails even those it’s built to embolden and b) #a lot of fans don’t actually care about accountability or growth or earned redemption at all you just wanna see a bully get kicked #it’s fine if that’s what you find fulfilling in fan content but like girl don’t lie #to me the strength of his redemption arc is NOT that he underwent trauma and it made him ‘better’ it was that he chose to be better #learning that the proven most effective form of de escalation for physically violent kids in classrooms is to just. let them leave the room #literally blew my mind but like. of course. stop making a spectacle out of anger and celebrate pushing angry people to the limits #teens who are allowed to be angry but must be conscious enough to recognize when they themselves are a hazard #and being able to leave the room for everyone’s safety instead of making everything a confrontation #of course that’s the most successful method. like yeah difficult kids are people. #anyway while I’m here TTI is abuse #and i know bkg discourse isn’t even that relevant anymore nor did i explain this well but whatever #it matters to me idk. #this post is dedicated to former bad kids and UA teacher! bakugou truthers #he runs detention. to me. #bnha #bakugou katsuki

this friday will mark one year since the queen died

what the fuck

#sep 8 2022 will be unforgettable to me for one reason in particular btw #that day my school had the fire alarm go off #but it didn't go off in one room which was where the spanish class was #and i was in that class #and one kid looked out the window and pointed out a bunch of students lining up outside #and they were like 'hey i think there's a fire drill going on right now' #and the teacher was like 'pff if there was they would've told us' #then she opened the door to check; being fully convinced the classes across the hall would still be in session #lo and behold the classes were empty #so we scrambled outside #and while we were outside #that was when the queen died

[asahina-mafuyu-official]

>That’s not my fault, I mean she chose to-

By the way, that is DIRECTLY your fault. You persuaded her to. Don't be surprised if people consider you an accomllice or something

She wouldn’t have done it if she wasn’t so desperate for approval! I can’t be blamed for her lack of common sense!

#roleplay #asks #//Oh look she’s aware of what she’s doing #//OKAY NO BUT LIKE #//THERE HAVE BEEN TWO TIMES WHERE I’VE WALKED INTO AN EMPTY SPANISH ROOM AND KEPT THE LIGHTS OFF #//AND CONVINCED MY CLASS TO SIT IN THE DARK AND SHUT THE FUCK UP AS A PRANK #//AND BOTH TIMES I HAVE TOLD THE SAME GUY HE SHOULD LOCK THE DOOR #//AND HE DID #//(So if any teacher has bad humor while it can be pinned on me and I don’t wanna pin it on him the locking out isn’t my fault)

do uyo think a monkys 🐒 and a sketin 💀 can be friends

a thought bubble appears above my head with the memory of having my picture taken with a monkey at the ripe old age of 6, and upon leaving the monkey would trip me and start dragging me by the ankle back to the photo chair, prompting the photographer to fucking book it for that monkey.

hm probably not i don't think.

#ask #raidendotcom #i still have the photo across the room from me #ive shown it on here before. well minus actual me. since i replaced me with Boe for the sake of not having a picture of me as a kid on here #tldr: went to the mall with my mother. photo booth with monkey. chaos and destruction. #id have to ask my mother what she remembers from the moment and if she has any details ive forgotten #i dont think so though. its pretty clear in my brain #the monkey didnt hurt me beyond maybe a rug burn from the impact of me hitting the carpeted floor #yknow whats funny. idk if ive ever told that story around the time it happened. or back in 2005 i mean. #that wouldve been in 2nd grade. ik i talked to my friends about how i played baseball for a short while #and having to come back to school after spraining both of my wrists #or. i sprained my wrists from falling out of a swing cause i wanted to do a backwards 360 while sitting #and i was missing for a few days. my mother told my teacher what happened and she thought i broke my ribs #though i came in one day with two blue casts and they were like ''ohhhhh your WRISTS. not your RIBS'' #anyway a lot happened in 2nd grade i guess. #in all serious raiden. minus my irl experiences. i think so :) perhaps :) #thank you for the ask raiden :) watch out >:)

Training a colleague on my time saving methods for various processes and she tells me I'm easy to learn from bc I'm so patient and nice and I 😭

#Creepy chatter #I was originally going to school to be a middle school art teacher (I've tutored math/english/science but art was the golden child) #And honestly? Learning to keep my patience at 17/18 while 12 yr olds threw rubber erasers around the room made me like a blue whale at sea #Sorry bud no more rubber eraser tomahawks while I'm teaching but I think you'll have a lot of fun once we finish the instructions #Whips out paint. Get an apron bud bc we're getting messy with purpose!! #Anyway health care professionals are miles away from being nearly as difficult as 12 yr olds #And I LOVED the 12 yr olds!!!! They're fun! And they act like that bc they're growing up! #Confusing hellish age for us all but at least we have games of exquisite corpse that make the kids laugh until they crumple #Anyway if I can teach a kid to do 3pt perspective I can teach a health care pro about caveats for things like malignant leiomyoma #Myonecrosis is like little baby compared to a middle schooler holding an x-acto knife for the first time

Gilear and gortholax i am rotating them in my mind

#random thoughts #fantasy high #gilear absolutely fucking instigates it are you kidding me #like after a while of gilear and gorthalax hanging out for fig's sake they're in a weird 'only friends cuz out kids are friends' kinda thing #except their kids are the same kid #also they both work at the school so they're in meetings and at school events #and gilear keeps the cooler in the locker room stocked with drinks and snacks for the bloodrush players so you KNOW #you KNOW they're bumping into each other #the teachers have a bimonthly get-together where the location changes each time #sometimes it's at krom's diner or basrar's soda fountain but it's MOSTLY at the black pit for drinks #before gorthalax started his job gileat never attended one of these get-togethers because 1. he's gilear and 2. couldn't afford it #gorthalax didn't hear about it until he was in a conversation with a fellow teacher and gilear and the teacher brought it up #gorthalax's like 'why didn't you tell me about this??? we're going' because that man LOVES SOCIAL INTERACTION #and he offers to cover all gilear's drinks because he just wants him to get out of the house already #and gilear's like 'well if you're paying i suppose it would be rude of me not to indulge' #gorthalax is the designated driver for the night </3 baby can't drink #gilear gets absolutely SMASHED for the first time in god knows how long #he goes from ramrod straight 'i am extremely inebriated' to loose and giggly and leaning into gorthalax's side because he's very warm #and there is some point in the night where gorthalax goes from 'hell yeah im helping my friend have a good time' to 'oh dude' #'i think you should sit down' to 'oh you are VERY MUCH COMING ONTO ME and you are VERY DRUNK' #he eventually takes gilear home early (it's fine porter doesnt drink either) and stays there until he falls asleep #and also sleeps on the couch because he's a LITTLE concerned gilear's gonna get up to some shit #just imagine gorthalax sleeping on this tiny couch. like a mastiff in a cat bed #he ends up cooking him breakfast which gilear takes in the COMPLETELY WRONG WAY and is like 'oh god did we . . . ???' #and gorthalax is immediately like 'NO NO NO YOU WERE WAYYYY TOO DRUNK I JUST STAYED OVER BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU'D HURT YOURSELF OR SOMETHING' #'btw your kitchen is like. super sparse. i bought you some groceries.' #gilear is also very apologetic for coming onto him 👏 the 👏 whole 👏 night 👏 and hopes he didn't make him uncomfortable #and gorthalax is like 'oh no you're fine i would have stopped you if you crossed a line. would have stopped you very easily actually' #'im eight feet tall' and gilear's like 'that you are' #gilear's flirting is the epitome of 'how tall are you?' 'idk 8 feet 8'5 with the horns' 'with the horns you're SO funny' babygirl's deranged

look at this pic of me my mom took when i was 15/16(?) with the camp counselor i had a crush on

#don't ask me why he wore a kilt i still don't know #he was the gun range/archery teacher though i specifically joined that activity to be near him... his name was brad #it was so weird because i had come back from camp already this was the week after and i was going back to get some stuff and he #just so happened to be there and i think he was like 'what are you doing out here shouldn't you be in your cabin?' bc he thought i was #still AT camp instead of just visiting. idr how i got him to take a pic w/ me but it was kismet :) i have so many funny anecdotes abt camp #like i think this was the same year that my friend partnered up with him^ during some huge group activity where we kept changing partners #and i calmly exited the room of like 100+ people & broke down in the bathroom because i was so jealous of her bc she related to ppl easier #but she also accidentally touched a different counselors dick that year while we were in the lake and she got banned from ever coming back #because she had a huge fear of the camp director shooting everyone like she had constant nightmares abt it and she was trying to get over #her fear of him that year by being near him more and talking to him but uh. he misrepresented what she was doing and made it seem like she #was trying to seduce him or something so she got banned and cried all the way back home when our mothers came to get us... it was tense #i had genuinely never seen her cry before it was so fucking crazy to me. anyways... pretty wild stuff
