Actually so annoying to be academic rivals with someone in a completely different tax bracket than you. Like cool okay you’ve been able to take every ACT since you were eligible. You have private tutors at your beck and call. You can buy college major textbooks to read for fun. But I’d just like to remind you that I, the one who shows up to school in new clothes I feel guilty for letting my mom buy me, am on par with you. We are equals, constantly competing, and the only thing keeping this equal is the fact that you have more opportunities.

i will never giggle as much as when a character says to their love interest to not fall in love with them, but then they’re the one who falls in love first

《Wandering Hearts》

Part-II

Varsha

Vivan breaks the silence with, "Rhea, are you alright?," Vivan's question catches me off guard. Instead of asking why I'm here, he inquires about my well-being, leaving me momentarily stunned. As I gather my thoughts, I respond with a composed "I'm alright." Yet, beneath the surface, my mind churns with a whirlwind of questions. Is he following me? Why would he? Could he be from the same place as me? The notion is unsettling.

The growing silence becomes increasingly awkward as he leans towards me, prompting me to inquire, "Where are you getting off?" He responds, "Wildflower, I'm not leaving until the train reaches its final destination." Realizing he's from Jaipur, I retort, "Same here." He chuckles and remarks, "Ah, now I understand where you get that attitude from."

I despise him, I'm consumed with rage, I've always tried to treat him well, but his arrogant ass doesn't warrant it. Frustrated, I grit out, "Move out of my path," but he just leans against the door, blocking me.

Good Omens academic au

Crowley as the eccentric astronomy/physics professor at a university.

Aziraphale as either librarian or theology professor at the same university.

They meet and argue over the ineffableness of the universe. Crowley and Aziraphale have the same conversation about Earth that they do at the beginning of s2 ep1. They fall in love through arguments and academic debates adoring the other's intelligence. Everyone else around them [mostly students] is placing bets on whether or not they are together. Some say they're married others say they despise each other but ultimately they never find out that the professors are actually too emotionally inept dorks who love each other but think the other person doesn't care but they will take any contact they can get so they argue and debate about the same topics.

Maggie is the music student to whom Aziraphale is renting an apartment and Nina is the grumpy campus coffee shop owner.

"They hate each other"

"Nah, not really"

[memoires-blessees]

if the "going insane late at night in the library whilst half drunk on the knowledge I am both absorbing and drowning in all while my rival sits across the aisle from me and keeps sneaking glances as I lose myself in these pages" isn't a little gay then I don't want it.

[poetryofmuses]

I hope one day, all of us are able to find the love that cures us, that feels like home, soft and welcoming, the love that fixes something in us that wasn't even broken, I hope one day, you and I find each other.

[lesbian-disaster-academic]

omg what if we were academic rivals who called each other solely by our last names and also we were gay and maybe we kissed a little bit??? hahah just kidding. unless,,,

[madocsmurderouschild]

getting that degree isn't motivation enough, i NEED an academic rival who challenges me and says things like, "darling, i hope im not making it too difficult for you because, i only intend on making it worse." "nervous? afraid you'll lose or afraid i'll win?" "thinking about giving up? pathetic. too low, even for you." –i just need it ok? only for educational purposes

[crowleyscleaninglady]

Okay so tell me if I’m crazy for this…

I am very excited to go back to school to pick an arch enemy. I will pick them from the class and they will be my academic rival. I will do everything I can to beat them and know more than them. I don’t care how nice they are- I can be friends with them but in my head they’re my nemesis

manifesting a small town academic rivals to lovers trope for me when i go to college🕯🕯🕯
