#annoying teacher’s pet

I guarantee you could have polled every single kid in my grammar school in 1977 and not one of us was trying to be Donny for Halloween.

James Vowles is thriving as Williams team principal in this universe, but I just know that in another one he's either a physics or maths teacher that everyone loves. He's just so good at explaining complex things in ways that people who don't have much knowledge on the subject would understand, and his voice is so calming and reassuring.

Thinking about Dragon Age Origins (again) and my Amell is the type of mage that would openly say "You use blood magic? Skill issue. Can't be me" and Jowan would actually want him to be obliterated by a fucking templar

every time gale gets that tone that turns any conversation into a lecture where he's the professor and I'm the student despite the fact that I've given him no reason to assume I'm stupid, I'm like "you're so annoying. why would anyone ever dislike you" kshsks

i don't even have a crush on her anymore but sometimes I think about how I made sure to change my schedule to make mine overlap with hers like wtf I barely talked to this girl for 4 months and I was trying to insert myself into her life as discreetly as possible and still epically failed in the end. we hung out 3 times and it was awkward all 3 times bc she was clearly just passing time for the sake of it. well.. at least I tried! she had a beautiful smile..i feel like a fucking loser she was STRAIGHTTTTTTTT god anyway..

@fumalsamakah : ❝ hope is the fool’s ally. ❞

WHEN SHE SPEAKS, HE LISTENS ; a rarity by far, but it's rare for anyone at all to become notable enough to him to take note of, let alone respect. she is his commander, his leader, his former teacher, someone whose strength is meant to be honored inasmuch as it's reviled by their enemies. recalcitrant and brusque and occasionally cruel ( apparently ) he may be, but he knows when and where to show respect and deference. call it a remnant of his childhood : spare to the heir, noble upbringing, always meant to follow and guide, to follow HIS KING to the very end, all that tripe.

❝ —— always with your teaching points, ❞ for as much as he shows deference physically, head tilting and body turning to face her, that hardly means he'll change his mannerisms otherwise, his patterns of speech ; something she knows well. felix will never be anything nor anyone but fully and wholly himself, inherently resentful of the idea of changing the self at all, really / should anyone expect such things they aren't worth his time, and byleth is always worth his time.

he would have been sorely disappointed and would never have bothered follow her this far had she not been. she had met and surpassed all of his boyhood expectations, not even trying all the while.

sunlight catches off of his blade as he turns it deftly in his hands / sheathes it / a satisfying shhhk. ❝ yes, naturally. when reliance is placed upon a folly such as hope, the battle is long lost, ❞ hope has no place on the battlefield, neither the physical one nor the one that dwells within him ; hope is a foolish, distracting thing, a beseeching siren lost amongst the waves, waiting and ready to drag all who follow its call to their sure death.

❝ hope is borne of fear. an enemy, let alone an army, cannot hope to claim victory should they be suffering in the throes of such a thing. ❞ spoken as if a student in classroom, raising his hand and delivering a textbook perfect response / the comparison is somewhat apt / he does not want for praise from byleth, but he of course wants to impress his teacher. who doesn't?

Everytime someone writing a fic has Noel mention The Blue Angel and calls it a French film I lose years of my life

10 and 11? Happy new year!

Something that made you cry this year?

Pretty much everything, since my tear ducts are on a hair trigger. I cry at sad commercials, heartwarming tiktoks, when the orchestra music swells during a meaningful moment in a movie....I made myself weepy just thinking that maybe my mother was tearing up as she hugged me goodbye. It's kind of ridiculous. My only consolation is that I rarely cry about the real things happening in my life---and when I do it's about things too personal to discuss with the internet at large.

Something you want to do again next year?

I'm joining more book clubs 😈

My dad has a physics PHD so when I was 13 and finally doing actual science classes in school I thought everything they were teaching was just common knowledge because string theory had been explained to me at like 8 years old. Also didn't help that we're both autistic and I couldn't stop asking questions so everything from the universe expanding to quarks had received a thorough infodump.

growing up with a psychologist for a mother was so funny because my sister and i would be like “mo-om why do we have to go to bed now” and she would respond with a long explanation of the research on the effects of sleep on the brain and body followed by another explanation on permissive vs. authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting styles, with citations

as it turns out, flirting with tens of students is our dear professor's thing and not only that, but hooked up with one during a field trip. my obsession and attraction has disappeared completely thank you very much <3
