Each time an overblot occurs:

[sideblogdotjpeg]

have been thinking about professor sol even. professor bufo with no clearly discernable lesson plan. sol bufo ostensibly martial arts professor who spent two weeks running a yoga and meditation program and shows up to the next class with crochet hooks for everyone. professor bufo who is technically supposed to be assigning grades to students but hasnt given anyone less than an A because "i think they worked really hard and they did a great job :)" (referring to the ugliest and most malformed pot holder anyone has laid eyes upon in their life). professor bufo who is on his way to cluelessly kickstart the sexual awakening of about half the cohort of the academys new students. sol bufo adjunct professor who is gone half the year and his first class back is so immediately and easily baited into going into a long tangent about how cool his friends are. sol who is pretty sure hes easily the most useless professor on campus and almost cries when he sees his little desk overflowing with thank you notes at the end of the year. professor bufo absolutely fucking gloriously hot in the tightest little sweater vest because there were faculty complaints when he wore a crop top to class.

I would never wish growing up in a hyper religious African house on my worst enemy. The cognitive dissonance is insane especially if you grow up in the West yet your family (and other African families around you) insist on clinging on to asinine “traditions” that are really just covers for abuse.

I really love my new job, it’s such a huge stark contrast to probably one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had (and quit like a month ago lmao)

like everyday is a beautiful day when you’re not working at a middle school and have to deal with kids fighting everyday

I went to kind of a sketchy high school

So when I was a kid, my parents split, and I ended up going with my mom to live in a different town so she could be closer to work. I was hoping to go to the same high school as my friends, but where we moved was an entirely different school district (and would've been too far to drive anyway), so I had to just settle for staying in touch online.

This new school though, I had no idea what tf was going on. The building was what I can only describe as "run down." The teachers were arguably more absent than the students, just completely checked out and totally surrendered to the chaos that the students created on a near daily basis.

As for the students, I for the life of me could not understand what they were saying. I don't know if it was their accent but I just could not parse it at all -- all I could do was stare in confusion when they tried to talk to me. Sometimes I'd think they asked me a question and nod, much to their chagrin.

So anyway, this one time I realized that I forgot my pencil and eraser in their case at home. Not that I usually needed it at that place, but I liked to be thorough and prepared. I went up to this one kid who looked relatively friendly and tapped him on the shoulder, wanting to ask him if he had a spare writing utensil I could borrow. And he turns around.

And

No kidding

He has a gun.

This kid has a gun. It's not even a little derringer or a pistol or anything, it's pretty BIG. But that's not even the strangest thing he's holding

I look at his other hand and he's got 2 microphones. He tosses one to me and I catch it, scared out of my mind. Then he raises his microphone to his face and goes:

"BA WA WA WA WA WA"

and looks at me expectantly.

I stare back, stunned in primal fear.

He repeats, once again going:

"BA WA WA WA WA WA"

Into the mic he's holding and looks at me. So, taking a guessing at what he wants me to do, I force my trembling hands to raise the mic he tossed me to my face and say back into it:

"b-ba wa wa w-wa wa wa"

I fucking hated that school, dude.

Finally sorting out the massive pile of papers in my chem folder…

True story, as a teen I was against what music was popular at the time, and it was the late 2000s so it was 'emo shit' and I thought I was 'too cool' for it. I was literally a Pokemon and Sonic nerd, I wasn't cool (I still like those things too, mind) but as I became an adult I realized that I actually DO like 'that emo shit' and here I am, freshly turned 30 and still into all that stuff I claimed I was too good for when I was 15. I guess it's really not a phase. :^)

I love that you were into sonic and Pokémon lol. I have a Jigglypuff pin on my lanyard for work and my friends judge me (and my two jigglypuff plushies but she’s so girly pop???). We were fighting so hard against the emo and for what? Why did we need to be different? Lmao. I know for me it was because these new girls were the ones bringing it into the fold. I remember singing along to some Jonas Brothers song (🤮) on the radio in PE and those two girls coming up to me and screaming TEENAGERS SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME. And I was like…ok, queens. One of them judged me for wanting to read Twilight, too, even though literally everybody was reading it in 2009 (I think that’s the year I was in sixth grade Idefk anymore man) because she was like…ooooh everybody’s copying me. Regardless, I ended up actually really liking that girl (when she stopped being judgemental!!!). She has beautiful daughters and here I am with a neon emo band tumblr account.

If he was supposed to endear himself to his father, why would he not do it in his father’s first language? The language that would mean more to Bruce?

He’s not comfortable with informality (for good reasons, I doubt he was allowed any at the LOA), it’s why he uses last names and full names even for Dick, the first sibling he called their first name

That’s what will make the “baba”, the “dad”, the nicknames so much more impactful when they do happen. The rarity value

Damian stepping outside of his comfort zone of rigid, insistent formality should be exceptional, not a given, just like the change from “Grayson” to “Richard”

Bruce has to fucking earn “baba” the same way he earns Damian’s trust, the same way Damian slowly comes to admit that Bruce has a point about being nice to people

It can’t just be a given

To paraphrase a saying: anyone can be an “abi”, but it takes someone special to be a “baba”

wait i finally realized why headcanons about damian calling bruce "baba" have felt so wrong to me. yes most arabic speakers call their father baba, like how most english speakers would say dad or pa, but damian doesnt talk like most people. he calls his father Father. do you know of anyone that calls their father father? he wouldnt say baba, he would say abi (slightly formal way to say my dad) or walidi (more formal way to say my parent). normal arabs call their dad baba but damian isnt normal
