One thing I wish I'd see more of among Ratio fans is some thought about how he views himself as a teacher.

Like yes, of course he refuses to compromise on the quality and rigor of the education he imparts, and he would find it unforgivably unethical to lower his standards in order to pass more students who had not genuinely learned the material. This is core to his character.

However, as someone who is a teacher IRL, I know the absolutely miserable feeling setting that kind of standard can cause. There's the obvious disheartening sense of disappointment ("Are students these days really not capable of doing the work correctly? Is our future in danger, if this is the highest level of understanding our current generation of students can achieve?"), but even worse than that is the self-doubt.

"Is this somehow my fault? Am I not teaching this material in the right ways for the students to learn? Is there something I could have done differently to get through to these students? Would a better teacher have a higher passing rate?"

We know that Ratio does (or at least did) struggle with feeling inferior to the Genius Society, so I think it is also likely, as much as he absolutely will not budge on his academic standards, that he has doubts about his teaching ability as well.

This is the man who wants to educate the entire world to cure the disease of ignorance, and yet only 3% of his actual students are able to get there. How can someone who gets so few of his direct students to a state of enlightenment hope to enlighten the whole universe? If so few students are successfully learning the material of a given class, doesn't that mean the teacher is doing something wrong?Would a better teacher--would a genius, maybe--not be able to impart their knowledge more efficiently and educate even the most challenging of students?

As someone constantly struggling with that balance between keeping academic standards high while also meeting the needs of today's students, I think the passing rates of his courses must affect Dr. Ratio much more deeply than I've seen fans discuss. I think he would question himself harshly over his class success rates, and I think he must be constantly trying to push himself to become the best teacher he possibly can be.

tl;dr: I hope one day the HSR fandom will stop sleeping on the fact that Ratio is an actual practicing professor who probably has astronomical levels of teacher angst. 😂

JUST RECEIVED SOME OF THE NICEST AND MOST THOUGHTFUL AND DEEPLY IMPACTFUL FEEDBACK ON MY WRITING I’VE EVER GOTTEN I’M SO EMOTIONAL OH MY FUCKING GOD

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

Okayyy I was gonna do this earlier but anxiety, however I cannot let such a masterpiece go underappreciated any longer. 

Your fic where Rayla asks Soren to walk her down the aisle at her wedding (the devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me) made me so emotional 😭 the way she asked him, the reasoning because she doesn't need her parents the way she needs them, how Soren called her his sister, how she told she loves him and kissed him on the cheek, how he said that she looks beautiful and like a fairytale, THE BLUE ROSE AND THE SYMBOLISM OF THAT 😭 😭 😭 😭 

I always had a thought that he would be in the wedding in some way and the fact that someone else put this into words so eloquently and perfectly and preciously just makes me so ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ !!!!!

As a huge fan of the Sorayla sibling-ship im in a puddle melted onto the floor, on the verge of actual happy tears. I dont think you understand what you did to me and my heart. Thank you so much 💓💓💓. You are an absolutely fabulous writer and creator. mwah 😘

LITERALLY WHAT OMG THANK YOU 😭

Me rn (bc I ❤️ Aziraphale):

It honestly just started off at like midnight as "Soren should give Rayla a flower at her wedding. What flower? OOH BLUE ROSE BECAUSE HE TRIED TO KILL HER WHEN SHE WAS HOLDING ONE." And I had an idea in my notes file of "Soren and/or Ez walks Rayla down the aisle bc her parents suck" (or at least something along those lines lol) and then it was like lightning struck. I just love it when things click!

PS, my personal fave moment is Soren choosing Rayla over his sister and how I wrote that. I reread it and kick my legs 🤭

(the fic, if anyone's interested!)

I’m glad you appreciated the whole back and forth between them AHHHHH yes and more hints between her and Hongjoong huhu and Sannie being a cutie hahaha IM GLAD U LIKED MY LITTLE JOKES HERE AND THERE, like Mingi choking on water HAHAHA

Thank you for taking the time to read the new chapter and leaving me feedback ;-; I really love hearing from you all.

Cute fluffy stuff is always super fun to write because the fumbling stages of romance where characters are still trying to figure out how to express their love are just so cute. The stammering, the blushing, stolen glances, the sweet words, it's all just so sweet! Plus fluff always allows for scenes that are very intimate emotionally, like sharing a piece of themselves that most folks don't get to see, or them just deciding at long last to open up and entrust the care of their heart to another person. It's magical and so, so beautiful! -🍶

for real like i love writing my long fics that only have one or two dirty or suggestive scenes bc i get to flesh out the details and relationships for characters!! its one of the reasons why my jean kirstein fic holds such a strong place in my heart, i worked on that bitch for a year and put my heart and soul into it, and i fucking loved it

[taegularities]

love you 🥺🤍

[allylikethecat]

oh ally that kiss prompt was soooo good! i love how you write domestic contemporary gatty i need 20k words of it 💖

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it! I had fun writing it- there is something so soft and special about a domestic contemporary Gatty situation that is a nice break from all the angst that I usually write!

I make no promises regarding a long form contemporary fic- but maybe it’s something I’ll think about, and see if any plot bunnies strike after I finish one of my other chaptered WIPs!

As always, thank you so much for reading and your continued support! Your messages aways make me smile!

❤️Ally

hey!

i read and liked itty bitty pretty when it only had 11 notes and seeing how it’s jumped in popularity is AMAZING! just wanted to say that it was such a good read, you honestly nailed steve’s character and his internal monologue was such a treat to read. a lot of the time some fics never feels like steve, but i think you nailed his dorky yet cocky attitude to a t.

i could go on and on but i’ll spare you. anyways, i’m excited to see what else you have planned!

much love, anon ali :)

hi love! okay so i've been rereading this over and over bc 😭😭😭😭😭 I ADORE YOU SO MUCH OMG THANK YOU!!! 😭😭😭 hearing that the fic actually feels like steve means so so much bc i was worried i wouldn't be able to do his character justice so AAAAAH THIS MEANS THE WORLD THANK YOU!! 😭💓 !! you'd genuinely just made me so happy so just, sending you all the love you angel !! 🥰🥰

💋 Itty Bitty Pretty

by far the best feedback on my edits is FUCK YOU in the tags ngl

[scuddisher]

Omgg I loved ur RZ Michael smut!! It was so so good 🙈 are you ever gonna write more

omg thank you, love! i haven't written anything for slashers in a hot minute, but the original idea for the rz! michael smut was for it to become a series of one-shots between reader & michael! i haven't written much (i was waiting to see what kind of feedback I'd get on it, but clearly everyone knocked that out of the park lmao), but i still want to write more! the story haunts me lol

if i do write any more of the series, it'll be posted on my slasher blog @leatherfaceish btw! that's where any new slasher stuff will be (i have even more wips brewing rn...)
