in secondary school my form room teacher was a really strict, by-the-book lady who took herself very seriously and generally had an odd, hard to crack sense of humour, but it was a known thing that she was married to one of the maths teachers, who was the loudest, most emotional guy in the entire world, and it was so funny bc everyone in the school was baffled that they were married but my form room, in having her as our form teacher for five years, got like. VIP extra rare insight into their marriage to the point people would beg for anyone in my class to trade gossip about it like looking back it's hysterical how invested we all were in this couple and one thing we'd always tell people was when the maths teacher would just. show up at our classroom. because basically for people who don't understand form room, it's the class you go to every morning - the same one, the same teacher, the same people - for five years to do registration, and the maths teacher didn't have a form room so sometimes when he was bored before first period he'd just. show up to ours. and every single time without fail my form teacher would rip his head off for it bc it was 'unprofessional' and he was 'bugging her' and he'd wander off again with his tail between his legs but without fail would do it again another day. like he would just show up at her classroom whenever he was free and she'd be like 'well IM not free. get out' and we'd all be there like this is fucking golden i can't wait to tell literally everyone. one time he beat her to class and started doing the register for her and making up new names/butchering our actual names as he went and when she came in i actually thought she might throw a chair at him.
#this is a really random storytime. what prompted it you ask? well i am thinking about erasermic. sorry#you generally become really close with ur form tutor as well bc like i said. same woman every morning for five years#i had beef with mine but in a very niche way. like i loved that woman to bits and she really liked me and wanted the best for me#but because of the Everything I Had Going On at that age id just fight her tooth and nail for no fucking reason đ#but yeah by our last year she'd just very casually tell our class her family drama LMAO#she'd come in like 'mr ____ was absolutely infuriating this morning i guarantee he's going to be here in 5 minutes grovelling'#and sure enough he would and we'd all be there like GET FUCKED MR ____ WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID#it was so funny đ but yeah anyway. erasermic. you know im right

today's spooky poem is neil gaiman's "vampire sestina", featured in the collection "smoke and mirrors". as any poet will tell you, a sestina is a fiendishly tricky beast, so i'm always impressed when i find a good one - and this is, i think, a good one! you can read a little more about sestinas here, and if you've got some free time on your hands, you might try your hand at writing your own. (well, why not?)
VAMPIRE SESTINA
I wait here at the boundaries of dream, All shadow-wrapped.  The dark air tastes of night, So cold and crisp, and I wait for my love. The moon has bleached the color from her stone. She'll come, and then we'll stalk this pretty world Alive to darkness and the tang of blood.
It is a lonely game, the quest for blood. But still, a body's got the right to dream And I'd not give it up for all the world. The moon has leeched the darkness from the night. I stand in the shadows, staring at her stone: Undead, my lover... O, undead my love?
I dreamt you while I slept today and love Meant more to me than life - meant more than blood. The sunlight sought me, deep beneath my stone, More dead than my corpse but still a-dream Until I woke as vapor into the night And sunset forced me out into the world.
For many centuries I've walked the world Dispensing something that resembled love - A stolen kiss, then back into the night Contented by the life and by the blood. And come the morning I was just a dream, Cold body chilling underneath a stone.
I said I would not hurt you. Am I stone To leave you prey to time and to the world? I offered you a truth beyond your dreams While all you had to offer was your love. I told you not to worry and that blood Tastes sweeter on the wing and late at night.
Sometimes my lovers rise to walk the night... Sometimes they lie, cold corpse beneath the stone, And never know the joys of bed and blood, Of walking through the shadows of the world; Instead they rot to maggots. O my love They whispered you had risen, in my dream.
I've waited by your stone for half the night But you won't leave your dream to hunt for blood. Good night, my love. I offered you the world.
âNeil Gaiman
#october poems#fun fact when i was in undergrad we had a tutor who HATED sestinas. hated em.#one of his big rules when he handed out poetry assignments was NO SESTINAS#which is of course the best way to ensure that every student in your class will at some point write you a sestina#never underestimate the bloody-mindedness of english literature students

i had another devastating thought about the nature of matches and murphys relationship - specifically what i means to raise a child when you know nothing about their parent.
like he doesnt actually know matches?? he has no stories to tell, no memories to share, he doesn't even know if she was allergic to anything or what her favourite colour was. kirby's going to ask about her mum one day and murphy will have nothing but the smell of smoke and blood, and regret like a hand around his throat.
"She stood for what she believed in. She was stubborn and fierce and never let anything keep her down for too long."
god he'd be sitting in his living room with this random fucking kid, haunted by two ghosts - bc Ronnie would've known what to do, and Matches never should have died. and they're both dead because of him.
"She loved you."
#more from the vault (mine and ghosts dm's)#so for anyone new here bc im terrible about actually posting things#ronnie is one of murphy's childhood best friends. he; pj and ronnie all grew up together#ronnie wanted to be a teacher. he left the vigilantism to pj and murphy and he spent his spare time giving lessons to the street kids#and tutoring their classmates#that how he knew matches - bc he was helping her pass two of her classes#ronnie died completely by accident. there was nothing either pj or murphy could have done but murphy still blames himself#and matches was only involved in the fight that killed her bc murphy needed her expertise#so eventhough shes a grown ass woman who can make her own decisions he blames himself for her death too#AND THEY BOTH HAUNT HIM#i love murphy he's my favourite#hes so pretty and competent and clever and weird. i HAD to fuck him up a bit#so he falls in love with unattainable people bc its safer than being genuinely vulnerable#and he lives with guilt around his neck like a noose#<3#murphy carraway#matchstick (crime lord)

never getting over the moment in memoriam when spence is holding henry for the first time and jj mentions yale and he goes âyale? yale? do you wanna go to yale, henry? that was your godfatherâs safety school. i can get you into caltech with one call.â
#genuinely jealous of the bau kids#like they had an uncle spencer at their disposal. bet they all could get into good colleges because they had the best tutor ever built into#their uncle. theyâre having trouble in college and spence calls up being like âdonât worry i taught a class full of phd candidates on this.#youâll catch up in no timeâ#criminal minds#spencer reid#jj criminal minds#jenifer jareau#bau team#bau kids

Sol I gotta ask, when you read japanese, are you at the level where you can read it casually, or does understanding it still take effort? Because even though I've got the basic gist of my second language down, I still would struggle with picking up a novel and consuming it, actively translating the text in my brain takes so much extra effort than skimming words in english đ„Č
If it's baby level I can read it just fine haha but longer stuff is impossible without Yomitan because there are just so... many..... kanji......... Picking up a physical novel or newspaper and being able to understand 100% of it is still beyond my skill level, but I am probably at least to a point where I could give like a vague summary of what's happening.
I'm not sure how many kanji I have memorized exactly... When I started the Begin translation a few years back I probably knew maybe 200 (what was I doing translating books at just 200 kanji?!?) and I'd be surprised if I knew less than 800 now, which is nearly a third of the recommended number needed to fully understand a newspaper (~2200). That's just kanji though, my actual vocabulary is a lot higher than that lol
I'd love to take an actual Japanese class some day... Self study has gotten me REALLY far but, like you, there are a lot of times where I have to translate it into English before it clicks with my brain, and I think I would be a lot more efficient at translating in general too if I had more professional studying. Maybe some day!!
#asks#I'd like to take the class in person because ADHD brain needs a 'focus space' to go into study mode#But I live in like the middle of a super western European no man's land as far as Asian languages go haha#Too bad I'm not working with Thai or any of the Chinese dialects...#There are a bunch of Thai and Chinese immigrants here and probably classes/tutors for those languages too#Still endlessly funny to me that I only went with Japanese because my best art supplies only had Japanese language packaging#Now here I am like nearing 3 books translated....

Living in a small town for pretty much all your life is like being in a sitcom thatâs been going on for way too long
#you end up being like âitâs season 27. why are we now bringing back a character who hasnât been seen since season 16â#aka guy i had a crush on in secondary schoolâs mom is in my pilates class#ya girl never forgets a face so as soon as she walked in i was like âi Know her. i swear to god i know herâ my mom was like âyou donât know#anythingâ i was like âhush. itâll come to meâ#it bothered me throughout the whole class but then at the end i walked out into the church car park and literally laughed#she has a personalised number plate with her surname and first initial. i turned to my mom and was like âdonât ever tell me i donât know#something ever againâ sheâs like âwhatâ because sheâs not even familiar with this person as a concept#so i have to explain about the time this boy turned up at my house unannounced and was like âdo you want to go for a walkâ and i was like#âhell yeahâ so we went back to his house and his three dogs jumped all over me and his mom asked me about a bazillion questions#that was 11 years ago#i have not seen her since that day but i swear to you i remembered her. i just couldnât figure out from where until i saw the car#anyway heâs doing like a postgrad in geology now somewhere. i bet sheâs mad. she was one of those parents who hires like a billion tutors#and hopes their kid will become a doctor. babe your first mistake was sending him to a state comprehensive with a bad ofsted rating đđ»#literally just pretending to be catholic long enough to get him into the catholic school wouldâve done way more than hiring tutors#and it wouldâve been free! no one can tell me lying to the church gets you nothing#my best friend from primary school went there and got to do free violin lessons and learn german; japanese and french AND they had macs#meanwhile i was playing cricket without a bat because our school couldnât afford bats. life isnât fair#personal

Did. . . Webtoon just gave us a Zephyr Ă Altair modern/high school AU nobody asked for??
THESE TWO ARE SUCH CUTIES I'Mâ
#honestly this is something i didn't know i need until now!#JUST LOOK AT THEM STILL SHOWING THEY ARE THE CUTEST COUPLE AROUND#zephyr adjusting his sunglasses with his middle finger is such a zephyr move XD#they are such goofs around each other and i am here for it#altair gives me the vibe of a class president and the best girl around even though she doesn't know it/refuses to acknowledge it#meanwhile zephyr is a menace yet surprisingly one of the smartest ppl around#these two probably met when a teacher assigned a tutor to zephyr despite he doesn't have a single failed grade#but the teacher still refuses otherwise and reasons that having a tutor would tame his wild side down#ofc what the teacher didn't know is that altair can also be a menace whenever she wants but she does keep zephyr in check at the same time#and boom! sparks fly drifting from slightly rivals to friends to lovers#doom breaker#reincarnation of the suicidal battle god#zephyr#altair

Two math/physics students I have tutored in the last year have been hired as peer tutors this semester. Both of them took calc 2 in the spring and are taking calc 3 and differential equations now. They have the same instructor for those classes, and he's the head of the math department as well as the person who got me my job. He's known me since I was in precalculus in 2019 and I had him when I took calc 3 and diff eqs too. Well both of those classes for this semester just got back their first exams and one of my little tutor boys didn't do so hot. Let me be clear, I respect this professor but he is the biggest hardass in the world. He told my now coworker that his calc 3 exam was the biggest disappointment in both of those classes and I wanna throw hands.
#differentials and calc 3 are tough classes but lets just say this instructor does not receive the best scores on his exams#except from me for the most part and i was kind of favored for it#class average for this first exam in the class hes teaching now is a 40 and he doesn't grade on a bell curve#i can say from experience that tutoring is and isn't an advantage while you're enrolled in your own math class#because at work you get refreshers on material you're already familiar with#but sometimes you get so burnt out from working on other people's classes#that when its time to sit and actually do your own homework you can't think straight anymore#im not a student at this school anymore i told tutor boy that if the professor has a problem with him he can take it up with me#some of what the guy does is extremely unethical in teaching but he doesn't know that#because college professors don't need to have education degrees like k-12 teachers#im gonna throw hands some things just aren't right#shut up kaily
