Spring 2021
Alto B *puts an orange in Theater S’s backpack*
Alto L *takes orange out and put it in Alto B’s hoodie hood*
Most of the Altos, Flute K, Baseball J, Chess A, Bass Clarinet A, and several Trombones witness this.
Halloween 2021
Alto B *enters grumpily*
Alto L: Didn’t like your oranges?
Alto B: Yeah, it was weird but… WAIT!!!
October 30, 2021
Alto L to Alto H and Theater S: So I live kinda near Alto B. And tonight is door bell night…
Alto H: You aren’t going to…
Theater S: Oranges?
Alto L: Oranges!
Back to Halloween 2021
Alto B: THAT WAS YOU?!?
Alto L: Who else would have the means, motive, and opportunity?
Alto B: YOU PUT A BUCKET OF, LIKE 10 ORANGES ON MY PORCH?
Alto L: It was 15.
Alto B: What?
Alto L: The bucket had 15 oranges in it.
Alto B *sputtering*: Why???
🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N
Alto L: You didn’t read them?
Alto B: WHY WOULD I READ THEM???
Note:
Alto B is just used to it at this point. It has continued on. Nearly the entire band knows the joke at this point. It has expanded to apples and pears last year. He hides things back now.
Alto L: Who put 17 string cheese in my bag?
Alto B: You finally found them? It’s been 2 weeks?!
Alto L: Why 17?
Alto B: Because that’s how many I could get from everyone that day at lunch.

Nie Huaisang is such a character. He can faint on command. The character guide in the novel describes him as a dandy and lists his weapons as saber (ostensibly) and crying (actually). He stalked a canary for several days and then sneaked it into class. He collects porn and shares it with his friends. He's in a sword wizard society and his clan in particular is known for their blades but he never once has a fight scene. His characteristic accessory is a paper fan. He failed summer camp twice. He formed a Golden Core nearly a decade later than everyone else his age. When his brother was killed he set in motion a several years long revenge scheme that involved both careful planning and insane improv. He built a reputation on not knowing anything. He threw himself on his brother's killer weeping and saying "if you don't help me I'm killing myself in front or you." Truly who is doing it like him
#mdzs#nie huaisang#i love him he's so much#he's not a character i have brainrot over but i love rotating him in my mind#he really is the 'eating the chess pieces when the smart kid isnt looking' meme

Ten years on, I have so many questions about one line of dialogue in Teen Wolf 3B...
We see the chess board with all the names on it and the names correlating with the pieces would suggest that Stiles has an understanding of chess at the bare minimum. But was Stiles a chess kid? And if he is/was or does play chess, how did Peter know? Does Stiles play chess with Peter? Is this just Peter's way of saying Stiles knows how to play games? Is he saying Stiles knows how to strategize and think tactically?
#I can't tell if it's bad show writing or unacknowledged character traits#teen wolf#stiles stilinski#peter hale#the potential for chess kid stiles AUs#but also this has me asking SO MANY QUESTIONS#yet again--ONE THROW AWAY LINE#like coach and his “four years younger” line

Genuinely if you feel like everything is going terribly, start by fixing one thing at a time. Once you get the ball rolling it all gets easier. Start by taking a multivitamin or by getting better sleep. Pick one thing and focus on that one thing until it's better. And CELEBRATE EVERY SUCCESS NO MATTER HOW SMALL.
Do not fall into the trap of downplaying every little success!!! If that little success is "I made my bed today" FUCK YEAH BROTHER. if your success is "I got out of bed today" FUCK YES MY DUDE. I am so proud of you. If today is your first day clean I'm so proud of you. If you're not clean today but you're not as bad as you were yesterday I'm proud of you. If today is the day you decided to pick up a book for the first time in years I'm proud of you.
You can ignore your failures. I'm so serious. You failed? Move on. Learn from it, don't dwell on it. Spend all your time focused on your next success. Cause you WILL succeed. It may not look like the success you expected. But you're gonna make it.
And success is different for everyone. For some people success is just contentment. For some it's graduating. For some it's being sober, being healthy, being in less pain, being more comfortable with your body, adjusting to a new sense of self, divorcing a terrible spouse. Whatever it is, I believe in you and I love you.
#im so proud of everyone im going to cry#It makes me so sad to see people focus on what theyve failed at in the past cause bestie!!!!!!! its already over! focus on the present!!!!#you can do it#shatter the glass ceiling#make your new prosthetic your bitch#beat your brother at chess#go to sleep at a good time#spend quality time with your kids#youre doing so great

For all those skiing accidents Bruce gets into, he must have to actually go skiing a couple of times just for the press coverage.
And before he buys the Planet, Perry sends Clark out to do a piece on the skiing industry and hopefully get an interview with the walking safety hazard that is Bruce Wayne.
Or honestly, have them meet as civilians at any of Bruce’s extreme sport covers. Because galas are boring as fuck and I wanna see Brucie Wayne try and teach Clark Kent how to ski.
#batman#bruce wayne#superman#clark kent#superbat#bruce trying to figure out how competent he needs to pretend to be at skiing#because all of the accidents happen in remote mountain ranges since no ski lodge would allow that sort of bad press that often#and he needs to be moderately competent in order to sell doing the high stakes skiing#but the whole point is that he often ends up in multiple casts so he’s gotta be somewhat accident prone#and then there’s clark from kansas who can fly but has more experience cross country skiing than downhill#and bruce entertains himself flirting with the reporter he knows had been at a couple of galas but always had a different story to cover#maybe the get snowed into the lodge and just end up playing chess or something and bruce can’t tell if he’d rather have his kids here#or is thankful they aren’t here to wait him fail so badly at flirting with the cute reporter#idk how to reveal their identities maybe they both get an emergency JL call but god let them meet somewhere not a gala

went to bed and woke up in a cold sweat realizing that claudia's play, the birdie one, is both a direct analogy for her story and also foreshadowing of her death WHILE ALSO nodding to pauls death
claudia'a single minded, desperate drive for freedom eventually lead her directly to her death. she was "nailed down" by lestat (by LOUIS, actually- lestat only kept her for him.), and tore herself free at the loss of her 'foot,' being a stand in for the personal pain she suffered for freedom
no matter what she or anyone did, she was going to die painfully, because she was so desperate to be free that everything was suffocating. lestat, louis, romania, the coven. the only thing that didnt rot in her mind was madeline, because... there simply wasnt time. madeline was fresh and new and, given time, would have probably suffered the same heel-turn claudia gave to everything.
of course thats because she shared louis' hopeful outlook. being free of her parents? would fix everything. when it didn't? maybe if she had louis, it would be worth it. but its not, lestats still here, louis is still in love with him... killing lestat, thatll fix it, and she and louis will be happy in romania, right, the homeland for vampirekind? not quite, so better try paris, the city of love. that doesnt work. the coven, though, will give her what she wants, right? she'll be happy with other vampires?
the only person who makes her happy is? a modern version of lestat? a weird white woman she met on happenstance, who has little to no care for societal norms or faux pas. a blunt, kind of funny, kind of sad woman who lost her family but has a capacity for enduring because what else is she going to do? die? no, she cant do that. she had no friends because she was weird and offputting and had dangerous rumors, no hangups on loving claudia, no hangups on dying or being a killer.
that's... just lestat. without the immortality and the specific traumas, of course, but like. claudia's most beloved person was a funhouse mirror of her most hated. which really speaks volumes for what they could have had, because it wasnt just a clash of personalities. it was lestats bpd clashing with hers and both of their attachment to louis clashing. if lestat had been better at sharing, if louis had been better at loving both of them, if claudia had been less angry at the world for nothing but existing? maybe they could have been a good family. a happy one forever, just like they all wanted, but were unable to give each other
#love.claudia#like im casting spells on people. love claudia#thats a command#claudia de lioncourt#claudia de pointe du lac#tagging both since she would like to be a dpdl but in truth she is a lioncourt#lestat also taught her way more than louis did and i think louis resented lestat for it#les taught her to hunt and feed and protect herself#he taught her chess and piano#which for all her underhanded insults about it#beyond having more experience#theres not much you can teach about chess#taken from someone whos dad LOVES chess and keeps trying to play it with me#outside of the pieces and the strategies theres not much you can teach#because it all depends on who your other player is. claudia losing to him isnt a matter of him teaching her poorly on purpose but more#he knows her better than she knows him#which is also true#but louis detested all the things lestat taught claudia#even smugly rubbing her “docility” in lestats face when she struggles on her first kill#lestat could have been a good dad if he knew she loved him and louis still loved him. lestat loved her and taught her#louis just showered her in gifts and affection and support (which she also needed!! dont get me wrong!)#sigh#lestat de lioncourt#amc iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#louis treated her like a kid when she needed to be an adult and lestat treated her like an adult when she needed to be a kid

new idea: chess.com chatfic starring constantine playing chess during workhours and her opponents being the kids from SPDM. its basically like the breakaway incident but no one dies and its really jsut this middle-aged woman lording her wins over a bunch of twelve year olds in chess.com chatlogs
#reverse 1999#constantine#certified storm moments#madam z watching her smile at her phone sinisterly and wondering what plans is she scheming but constantine just checkmate’d this one dude#and js tearing apart their moves and obliterating their confidence in chat#in actuality her opponent is the spdm kids crowding around a computer at their friend’s (matilda) house and they were all taking turns#trying to plan their moves. vertin mans the computer but she has no idea how chess works. the other kids too have barely any idea but at#the very least they’re trying. they still lose though (see: breakaway incident)#i just love putting constantine in goofy ass situations

Steve harrington is fucking good in Chess, he could easily go to Chess Olympics and get in the top 10 best players.
He started playing when he was around 6-7, his nonna teach him with and old and beautiful chess board made of wood, the pieces of chess where shiny and not made with the traditional black and white and materials, no, they where made of a green bright stone that he can’t remember the name, and the other half where bones of animals that where already dead.
Steve was the one who ask to play someday, and nonna excited access to teach him. He was good, a natural you can say, and he enjoyed so much, that every time he was at nonna’s house, they play, not always following the rules, sometime they change them and makes originals, with backstory’s and wars. But nonna dies when he was 12 and he stop playing, even so he remember how to play.
Now, the chessboard and the pieces are save in an old oak box with the carving “Stevie and Nonna Lina chessboard.”
#steve harrington#steve stranger things#stranger things#imagine steve harrington#steve deserves the world#steve harrington angst#italian steve harrington#steve harrington headcanon#steve has shitty parents#steve knows how to play chess#steve is a sweetheart#steve harrington whump#hispanitalian steve harrington#chess#im proyecting myself onto steve#i miss playing chess storys with my nonna#steve will start playing again because erica test him#Erica find out Steve plays chess because she see the chessboard on a box it says: Stevie and Nonna lina chessboard.#steddie#The kids will find out about how smart is steve in chess.
