I am a firm believer that any fanfic can be decent — good even — no matter how cringe or wish-fulfilling it is as long as there's good grammar, punctuation and structure.
#Lily Talks#I am an English major#About to become an English teacher#and my soul hurts when I read a really good premise for a story#that is immediately destroyed by poor grammar punctuation and structure#Suspension of disbelief only works on narrative#If I have to read multiple characters talking in a single paragraph I'm out#It hurts my eyes#And if the story looks bare because dialogue is on its own paragraph#it means it needs more narration#you have that power#go for it#I could go on so many rants like this#Maybe I should become an editor instead#Hehehe

DpxDc AU: Justice League requires all of its youngest members to list at least one adult emergency contact in case something happens out in the field- And Lancer did tell Danny to put his number down if he needed help!
Lancer wanted to call CPS, wanted to call them for years, but something was wrong with his beloved town and the government agents that came were always… ill mannered. To say the least. So with the young Mr.Fenton appearing wounded in his class on multiple occasions, sleeping through lectures even more often, Lancer felt himself gradually accept that no other adult was going to step up to protect this child.
He figures out his Identity as Phantom and it makes his rage boil hotter than Dante’s sixth layer of hell. Danny refuses to abandon his parents (who continue to hunt him unknowingly), and he refuses to let any of his ghostly responsibilities fall wayside (this CW fellow is a real piece of work!).
But for all the things he expected when he told Danny that he could be trusted and could help- Ms. Manson and Mr.Foley coming to him for help, patching wounds, offering snacks and covering for Danny when attacks occurred in class- he hadn’t expected the Justice League to be knocking on his door.
Lancer blinked at the appearance of Batman in his classroom after the final bell, but then his stomach dropped.
TELLTALE HEART THATS THE BATMAN!!
“Phantom listed you as his emergency contact. Have you had any recent communication with him?” The deep, gravel voice startled Lancer.
Lancer checks his phone, Danny had skipped class today; and while Lancer was working with Danny to get him after school lessons and tutoring for all of the hours he missed, it was uncommon for him not to respond at Lancer’s text asking for a confirmation of his safety.
“Not in 24 hours, but I can message him again.” Lancer is shaking as he types on his phone to team phantom-Who wouldn’t be nervous at both the implications of Danny’s safety and the Batman??
Superman flies into the room from the open doorway, “No luck, without a heartbeat I can’t find him. Where ever they have him it’s lead lined or he’s keeping himself invisible.”
SCARLET LETTER ITS SUPERMAN!?!
Danny doesn’t reply to Lancer, and neither do Danny’s friends.
“He has two team members with whom he is inseparable, if none of them are responding then all three have been accosted. I’m coming with you until we find them.” Lancer declares and while he’s sure that Batman is unimpressed, Superman gives him a sad smile and nods.
Thus Lancer joins the Justice League for a day, Helps to save Team Phantom and Informs the takedown of an illegal government agency.
Batman also slides him some adoption papers and a card for a lawyer if Lancer decides to formally adopt Danny. Lancer also wins a Wayne Excellence Award for Teaching that year but he’s pretty sure the money is unrelated to Danny’s alter ego- after all, Lancer is a fantastic teacher.
#dcxdp#dpxdc#dc x dp#danny phantom#dp x dc#dc crossover#dp crossover#I like to think that lancer learns so much about the IR from Danny that he becomes akin to a consultant for the JL and JLD#like a ghost appears and if Danny is in a different dimension or smith they just call his English teacher#lancer being a bro to Danny is my fave#but I’m biased cause I had an English teacher who noticed my mental health decline before anyone else bothered to care#lancer gets a check in the mail and it’s for a ton of money and it’s labeled JL Hazard Pay#Bruce: game respects game#lancer corrects both Constantine’s information and his grammar

"i could never be a stay at home mom i need a career what if my husband left me or died? i would never depend on him" okay but ladies some of you are english majors. that's worse
#side thought: whenever there's an inspirational story about some poor kid making it out of the projects and being the first in their#family to go to college and then it's like...they get an English degree and become a teacher#i get that that's better than the alternative but also like. eh.

I believe Theo not only can speak french, but is even MORE fluent in reading french than english. The Doctors may have talked to him in both languages but I bet most of their books and notes were in french and Theo got used to only reading in this language
#all of this to say that theo barely got Cs in English class#he was the slowest reader#and i don’t think he knew half the authors they had to study lmao#on the other hand he was in advanced French class and often corrected the teacher#also#Liam looses his mind every time theo speaks in French#even if he knows very well Theo is just insulting him#i love thinking about these silly things#headcanons are my best friends#imma give the bilingual struggle to every one of my fav characters#i have this whole fic where after 6B Theo and Isaac become bff and ends up living together in France#theo raeken#(I missed talking about my boy)#teen wolf#thiam#(this whole post is kinda influenced by Emotional by MalloryMadeIt which I strongly recommend)

ive got an essay due at 3pm tomorrow and ive not even looked at it i am so so unserious about my degree and by the grace of some higher being i somehow keep managing to crawl through it's actually getting a bit funny
#me and an old friend of mine used to have a running joke during a-levels that im just one of those people where shit Works Out#and it started bc we shared two a-levels (english and economics) and in BOTH classes i regularly didn't do the homework#or the reading etc and yet it would ALWAYS work out for me#like we'd walk into a class neither of us having done the homework and they'd get yelled at while i went under the radar somehow#or that one english essay i got the highest score in the class when i literally hadn't even read the fucking book it was on#and when we pointed the theory out it started just becoming really prevalent#like no matter how late i am for things i'll arrive and by some miracle the thing im late for is also late (e.g a train or teacher)#like im just one of those people that has very very mundane luck#and low and behold i am fighting this degree with bloody fists putting the absolute bare minimum in for my own sanity's sake#and i SOMEHOW keep pulling through. literally failed two modules last year and STILL got a 2:1 average#and the last essay i wrote was the worst essay id ever done in my life and i get my standards are higher bc ik im good at essays#but the point still stands and you know what? i got a FIRST#literally was pure waffle i have never blagged it so hard and i got a FIRST#and all this shit just makes me cockier and cockier and go even more by the skin of my teeth and it ALWAYS WORKS OUT#it's soooo silly but im not complaining. anyway ill keep u posted about this essay <3 it's econ history so is actually interesting#but the most ive done for it is ask the sc ai lmao and for context degree-level essays usually require a good few days of graft#live love laziness#hella goes to uni

Okay so I’ve purposely not read anything about the new companion/her actor, but like, with the way RTD has started off his return, with Tennant’s costume and calling him the 14th doctor and overshadowing Gatwa’s entrance and naming Donna’s daughter Rose, it all really feels like he’s trying to milk nostalgia to bring him/the show back into the good graces of its worst critics from the past few years.
Like, with Ruby Sunday (what a name…) being a young blonde girl immediately after the Doctor’s return to Tennant’s body, I feel like RTD’s just going to use her to be the vessel for the Doc’s Very Own Morality Nostalgia Trip/Getting Over Rose Time like he did with Martha, which I think was a pretty universally disliked decision.
Maybe I’m wrong, but Doctor Who has been built over the past half century to be a show about moving forward, and all of these gestures look more like bringing things “back to normal” to me, which i think is the wrong move.
#doctor who#not to be overly negative#I would LOVE to be proven wrong#and of course I’m still excited about everything in the future of the show#but with Disney having some creative control now#and russel REALLY not going with the flow of everything the show’s become since the end of his run#it feels sort of… not even cheap; just in poor taste#people were excited for his return to see what new stories he could create; not to see the old ones all over again#I hope he still lives up to expectations but right now he’s really treading water#this really does sound so angry; I promise I’m not; it’s just that this is the only outlet for my thoughts on this show and this is the only#show that makes me think like this at all#so most of these posts are just thought experiments and exercises in argumentation. I still love this show with all my heart#:)#but yeah I hope I made my argument clear. I wish I could show my blog posts to my English teacher bc everything here is better written than#anything I give him fhgdhfgdh#russel t davies#millie gibson#ruby sunday#rose Tyler#doctor who series 14

I don't want to see Robin being a good queer mentor to Will. I want her to be so broken inside that all the advice she gives is 1) clearly her projecting 2) sardonically pesimistic and 3) simply bad, terrible advice. I want to see her rambling about her own traumas and end by telling Will the world sucks, that everyone hates you, there's no happy endings and the best thing you can do is crawl into a hole in the earth and cry.
Will feels slightly intimidating watching this weird girl have a mental breakdown in front of him, so he just says "I think I'm gonna go ask Steve"
#steve may be the token straight friend but whatever advice he gave dustin worked#so maybe he's onto something#robin buckley#will byers#the robin-will 'friendship' I want to see is Will as a reflection of Robin's younger self. still a little bit hopeful about love.#only for Robin to realize just how deeply broken she's become through the years as she talks to him and watches horror settle on his face#i think that's more interesting than just having her give him advice to get into mike's pants.#does robin look like the type to give good romantic advice?? does she?? she can't even fix her shit and she's supposed to fix will's#maybe they talk a year or two later after Robin finds herself again. and Will has grown and found his own path. and she tells him she's#happy for him. that he's doing well. that her old english teacher would be proud (will doesn't know who this ''mr. hauser'' is but he#doesn't bother to ask) and that he should hold onto his friends. they're important.#my posts

youtube
#THIS IS SO WHOLESOME#AND SO CUTE#ze with children is always ❤️❤️❤️#cant they schedule a school visit each week at least once?!#love how excited the kids get when they see him ❤️❤️❤️#ze was genuinly impressed with the little boy speaking english#and how sweet the kids are when asked who he is#its not “president” or something its just a simple “volodymyr zelenskyy” or “zelenskyy” ❤️❤️❤️#hes just one of them ❤️❤️❤️#also how its just “pm of netherlands” or “mark” and not “rutte” 😄#how much ze was invested in what the little boy was doing at the board ❤️❤️❤️#i think ze would make a very good teacher#who knows maybe after he retires from politicans and if he really doesnt go back to showbusiness he becomes a teacher#olena would probably be very happy about that much calmer life 😅#“darling i made up my mind about what i want to do now”#“okay my love tell me (please dont say astronaut please dont say astronaut please dont say astronaut)”#“teacher!”#“YES! i mean...sounds like a very good idea”

Digimon T.C.G (Trading Card Game) {Revival} ~ Andiramon (Sample Card)
{from here!}
The card was previewed alongside a new "Tamer" card for 02 movies character Wallace BT17-088, from the 02 movies "Hurricane Touchdown" and "The Golden Digimentals", two separate movies in the original Japanese version.
Notes/Trivia: "Antyla", from Antylamon, the U.S. dub name, is a misspelling of "Andira". "Andira" is one of the Twelve Heavenly Warriors of Buddhist Mythology (one of the major religions of Japan). {Wallace, meanwhile, is an American Chosen, implied to be connected to the U.S. group of Chosen (though once mainly acting solo + within the movies specifically), specifically from the region of (one based off of the real-world) Colorado. "Willis", Wallace's U.S. dub name was a misspelling of or taken from "Wallace" and intentionally modified, but it is also a real English "name" of English, Norman French, and Scottish origin, that seems more commonly used as a surname. It may be less commonly used as a first name, but it isn't necessarily "wrong" as an uncommonly used first name that originates from a surname. "Wallace", in comparison, is a common given name meaning 'Wales' or 'of Wales', but it is also used within England, Scotland, and the United Kingdom in general.

I feel the problem with texts like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Sunset Boulevard, and The Memory Police is that my analysis feels too off-the-wall compared to what they want us to regurgitate ._.
#Like... did nobody catch on the abusive household environment Christopher was in during CIDNT? HIS DAD LITERALLY PUNCHED HIM#Though perhaps I was uniquely advantaged in analysing that text because everyone else was thrown off by the autistic protagonist#meanwhile me... who is all too damn aware.......#it didn't distract me from the real meat of the novel at all. I just went 'oh so this is your flavour of 'tism' and looked for the real#substance hidden between the lines~#In SB nobody seems to talk about Norma's cluster b disordered personality as being a product of her environment#or her seeming overreliance on horoscopes and outside opinion because having her life dictated by others prevents her from focussing on the#painful truth of her situation#And now the novel i'm currently doing which already seems to be versed in the imperfections of japanese culture#i had a thought connecting the idea of 'the new cavities in my heart search for things to burn'#and the book-burning later in the novel which stirs up the protagonists memory of things it shouldn't-- birds for one#consistently when things are destroyed in this novel it creates some emotional response in the townspeople#and that's the reason they hunger for destruction? It breaks their emotional numbness? They're trying to fill their heart's holes.#Fire is antithetical to snow too; the persistent winter is explicitly a symbol for the persistent nothingness that the island is becoming#Hhhhh i know it's all vague conjecture atm but i know the teachers are gonna hate it :/#i feel like the one thing english as a class has taught me is that any expression of my written creativity is wrong ^^;

I don't want to brag or sound too optimistic about it, but after three weeks of training at a private college, I think my lessons with this one particular immigrant student (who has serious motivational problems lemme tell ya) are finally starting to get through and there's been improvement.
Only slight improvement so far but I have spotted some, so maybe not all hope is lost yet.
Remains to be seen I guess.
#personal#so in case anyone's still wondering i'm studying to become a tutor/instructor/guidance counselor etc. etc. whatever it's called in english#and currently i mostly work with immigrants with language. sometimes i help high school students as well. but mostly immigrants#and there's this one immigrant student who's been there since last spring. and he still barely even knows the basics because he's 'given up#according to him that is. he told me this at least three times yesterday and i told him that's a problem#so i've been trying to hammer it through his head that he can't be sitting in classes and using his phone when he's supposed to be learning#or expect me or teachers giving him all the answers when he also needs to show a little effort and help us back as well#and that he needs to participate in pair and group activities in classes because we're a team and we need to work together#so basically he's been asking me to either teach him or then find someone who can teach him#i told one of our teachers this and she answered that he could also participate in evening activities at the college but he's not doing tha#and according to him he doesn't 'mingle'. so i told him maybe he should once in a while. get out of his comfort zone. at least try#to my surprise he actually showed up to one of the evening activities that i hosted. didn't do much anything there but sit but still#that was effort. he did exactly what i said despite it making him a little uncomfortable so that's improvement#so then yesterday he asked me about teaching him the language again. i told him i host a homework club at tuesdays & thursdays @ 3:30-4:30p#he showed up there yesterday and was the only student. so i had time to teach him basic greetings. weekdays. months. things he shoulda know#and i thought it's all probably in vain but i tried. so today. he was in their class and actually doing pair work and reading stuff aloud#and even translating some stuff when i asked. calling it easy. and that he's trying to use his phone less and memorize this stuff instead#to which the rest clapped at and cheered him on for. and i told this to the teacher afterwards when she asked me about him. and she gave#me a thumbs up and looked a little surprised but also delighted. because he's been a popular subject amongst ourselves for a reason#so i don't want to get too optimistic about it. because he still has an attitude problem. but he's tried a little at least. so there's hope

This sounds a bit sad, but I'm someone who used to have absolutely zero faith in my artistic abilities. I've been writing my entire life, and haven't had too many self-confidence issues with that (well, I've gotten down on myself about my writing before, but I've gotten a lot better about that). I've always known I have the ability to write, as I've been doing it almost my entire life.
But drawing was a different story. I used to always tell myself "Ha! I just need to stick to writing. I'll never be able to draw. Are you kidding? Look at all of these talented artists. And look at these gorgeous realistic anatomy they can do!! I'll never be able to do that. I have no artistic ability whatsoever. It's just not my thing."
That was really my first mistake, comparing myself to other artists, and judging my ability to draw before I even tried. But another thing that really lowered my confidence in my artistic abilities was this one moment in my English class my Sophomore year of high school. We had this assignment to make a short comic based on the story The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe. I'm sure everyone knows that story. I did mine, and forgot to sign it at first, and my teacher saw. He was always a harsh grader, but he held up my paper, not knowing it was mine, and called it Kindergarten work. In front of the entire class. Needless to say, I was mortified. I immediately redid the assignment, losing almost all of my faith in my own artistic abilities.
But something changed when the Pandemic hit. I got an iPad, which made digital drawing so much easier and more fun. And I just had a lot of time on my hands because of lockdowns. And I thought to myself: Huh. Well, maybe I don't have to draw realistically. Maybe I can practice my drawing skills more by drawing more cartoony art.
And that's exactly what I did. And now I'm proud to say I'm actually confident in my art now!! I sort of have my own style now, which has definitely evolved over the years. I guess that's just what can happen when you practice and try to push aside the self-doubt festering in the back of your mind. It wasn't always easy, but I kept trying to encourage myself instead of just putting myself down.
Now I can proudly say that I've gotten paid for my art, and my clients were all thrilled with the results so far. And I can't wait to keep drawing for people and making them happy. I think I've definitely come a long way from so-called "Kindergarten work".
#personal#doodler's daydreams#drawing has now become on my absolute favorite hobbies#now i don't know what i'd do without it#i think i've just been thinking about art a lot considering i managed to make an art piece for EVERY SINGLE DAY of roudise week#that was a massive accomplishment for me and i want to try doing that again for more ship weeks/other events#if boblin week happens again this coming may y'all better get ready#anyway who's laughing now tenth grade english teacher!! look i've gotten paid for my art now i have the right to brag a little~

a thing that irks me about wgxn as lsz's Best Parents Ever and lsz himself calling them his fathers iiiis that aren't... parents and basically ancestors... kinda important in chinese culture? yknow, like *gestures at some of the characters' complicated relationships w/ their parents, their legacy and last wishes*? lsz discovers he's a wen and doesn't immediately go "ah well, doesn't matter, they were Problematic and i feel more like a lan anyway", but rather goes to the nighless city with wn to bury the ashes of their family and build a cenotaph for wq. that means he still wants to honor his ancestry, especially since he's the last surviving member of his clan. would lsz just... conveniently forget about all that -- about his parents, whoever they were, who died in the war -- for lwj? hm
#there was a post or perhaps a thread or maybe even more than one#about how the juniors would SURELY mistakenly refer to their sect leaders as mom/dad and i was like. g#i think kids call teachers 'mom' because they're still young and don't have much contact with adults that aren't parents/their family#members. so when you want to call an adult and your brain malfunctions you either go mom or dad (so: the usual)#but if you're a disciple of a sect you have a Bunch of older people around you each of which has their own name -- sect siblings#teachers etc not to mention other sects' members -- so i feel like it would be much more difficult to make that mistake#especially since i'm not quite sure disciples at that age would see the sect leader a lot unless he's personally teaching them#but ig that doesn't happen very often if he's busy with other things. there are other disciples and elders who can pass their knowledge dow#idk it just seems kinda... western? american? i can't say. to assume an adult who's important has to be a parent/parental figure which is#ALMOST the same as parent really! and can be referred to as 'dad'/'mom'#like. no! not really! a 'teacher' is not just your ms smith who taught you english and always praised your handwriting!#it can very much be the person who pushed you to become the person you are right now because they saw your potential#and without them you wouldn't be where you are. this kinda person you send gifts and cards every year for decades after graduation#because you're this thankful for everything they've done for you.#shrimp thoughts#this is not to say that he doesn't feel grateful for everything lwj's done for him -- he saved his life -- but that still doesn't have to#equate to Being his father. wzl didn't call wrh his father either and look how dedicated he was

I don't wanna write about how terrible the education system is in English class....I wanna write about the gay scientists that just want to heal after working 24/7 for a war only to get separated for a decade AND a nonbinary gremlin with autism and ADHD.
#if my English teacher wants me to write about the education system#then I'll write about the lack of creativity allowed in a class designed to help students become good writers#My hc is that both Hermann and Newt are autistic#also that they both have ADHD only Hermann got the unfun version of it#I also have the unfun version#newmann#charlie kelly
