as someone who was previously a 17 year old and has worked with 17 year olds, even a genius 17 year old would not be a good CEO.
Tim would be A) losing his mind during meetings bc they're long and boring and B) getting into shit around the WE offices bc that's what teenagers do.
When I was 17 I was rolling my friends down ramps in trash cans at school, in the cafeteria. I was also drawing dicks in paint on theatre set pieces (before covering with more paint) and stealing props from the theatre department. Straight A student with a 4.0 gpa but I was still doing dumbass shit bc teenagers have squishy little under developed frontal lobes and very little impulse control.
look me in the eyes dc and tell me a seventeen year old would make a good ceo
#making tim the ceo of we was a) hilarious and more importantly b) one of the dumber plot points of red robin#anyway i love this comic 10000/10 understood the assignment (skaterboi tim agenda)#tim drake#hes a high school dropout#hes never been to business school#why would you put him in charge of a multibillion dollar company#sure hes smart but he wouldnt be able to just run a business#i swear tim being ceo was the most unbelievable part of red robin#and yes im including the spider lady who kills people by touching them#batfam#dc#dc comics

the vibe im getting from FHJY is that this is the season where they really lean into the high school aspect. that probably sounds bonkers since its called Fantasy High, but like. hear me out.
Freshman year, they come at high school from the "John Hughes" "80s teen movie trope" vibe, which is to say different from the real-world experience of high school.
it works great! operating in that frame of reference makes everything flow really well, and hits all the high-school-related-media notes in a very satisfying way while putting its own spin on it and not getting bogged down by the actual slog that is high school in reality.
there's still a lot of more modern inspo, but it stays in the kinda expectation-suspension-tropey area of how 80s movie high school works.
Sophomore year is spring break! I believe in you! They're not at school! They're on an adventure!
They lean into being a teenager and coming-of-age themes a lot (obvs), but the only big reference point to the institution of high school is that it'll be worth 60% of their grade.
A huge point, to be sure, and the exact kind of objectively unfair but somehow not against the rules shit that happens in high school, but not the main driving force of the season.
arthur aguefort also does a bunch of wack shit but it's more fantasy than it is high school although its a lot of both.
they lean into adventuring as a set career path much more, with the school giving money for hirelings and offering a basic incentive for other students to go, so that's a loose connection to the real-world career counseling high schools have, but again, not the main thing.
VERY Important though: we are now very much in the present. The viral shrimp party, livestreaming Kalina, online banking, the epic of Gorgug building a cell tower? this isn't john hughes 80s town anymore, this is now. (at least in Solace).
Junior year
almost everything in the trailer is about academia
we've got the cool doodles-in-the-margins style art and intro
in the interviews and BTS (so far), the cast have talked a lot about what they were like in high school (not the 80s)
and the precedent that The Seven set where the MacGuffin was getting their GED? It's time.
we're getting into what is actually hell about high school - the institution itself. the arbitrary standards that academia in the US holds, and how it leaves behind, punishes, and fails its students in its extremely important role of preparing them for life as an adult.
i could talk about this all day, but personally for me the quote from the trailer that shot me back to my junior year of high school was "You have perfect grades, and it still might not be enough for you to graduate"
riz's arc this season is shaping up to punch me in the academia trauma and personally i can't wait for the catharsis
Brennan has shown time and time again that he Gets and wants to tell stories about the ways in which the US education system affects, hurts, shapes, traumatizes, changes people, and how they survive and recover from it and make their own lives. I for one am so so ready to see that reflected with the bad kids.
#original post#fhjy#fantasy high#fhsy#d20#dimension 20#dropout#brennan lee mulligan#look i just have a lot of feelings#and opinions about how people just accept that high school is hell and don't ask why? who benefits?#tbh evan kelmp being like 'this is tracking' is what made me first notice that like#brennan Knows what he's talking about and wants to talk about it#the seven really dove deep into it and I fuckin loved it

just to watch him die
#beckett's first kill#his name was henry#beckett was 18 and he wasn't involved with organized crime yet#he was a high school dropout he was selling drugs and doing some home robberies and he sang sometimes at bars#(which is how he met nia he liked performing at her club because she paid him the best)#he worked with henry a lot it was just a petty money argument they got into here like it was nothing it just escalated. somehow#he told nia it happened and asked for help and the rest is history#and this isn't even where beck got his scar that was ANOTHER fight with charlie where CHARLIE almost killed beckett and-#ts4#ts4 render#ts4 edit#the sims 4#beckett#blood sports

Jay dressing up as the monster of Frankenstein to angst at Bruce. Bruce naturally doesn't get the message. Alfred resists the urge to slap his head.
#tim never read Frankenstein#it was a class assignment but he looked for the summary on internet like the high school dropout he is#dick read it as a child also for school but didn't pay much attention#damian has read it but he was little and he just isn't making the connection#dc comics#jason todd#tim drake#dick grayson#damian wayne#duke thomas#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#batfam#batman

I fucking love the dumpster fire that’s the Nemesis crew <3
#Tfp#GOD they’re so stupid#we got: theater kid and literature school dropout with rabies and an addiction to crack#The guy who thinks he’s Better Than You (He Is Not)#but has the vibe of ten sopping wet cats and a chicken stacked up on top of each other covered by a coat and wearing heels.#The guy who is Better Than You. But has points revoked because he’s definitely the kid who hissed at people in the hallway in high school.#The medic who probably doesn’t have a valid medical license and WILL blast Baby Got Back while putting you under for a major operation.#(Him and his assistant have the Most/Worst Girlypop Medbay Playlist KNOWN TO MAN.)#(Yes they sing along)#The medic’s nurse who’s also kind of a himbo that strikes up conversation at the water cooler. DO NOT SEPARATE THEM.#The STEM student who was let off his leash and given funding to fuel whatever’s the fucked up science experiment of the week.#This week’s special is Jurassic Park but the dinosaurs breathe fire now and can fly.#Spider bitch that’s never invited but shows up anyways.#The One (Mostly) Normal Guy

trying to stay fed with only the money i get from art commissions is actually so fucking rough like all the business i was getting instantly died once my June sale ended. i have 8 cents left and am surviving on crackers and poptarts.
#weed screams#i literally got nearly $400 last month. $300 of it was spent on groceries. groceries for ME ALONE.#tbh I'd probably be fine rn if i hadn't bought tickets to see Kikuo....#but I've never been to a concert before and he's literally my favorite artist. i want to experience something for ONCE.#wait i forgot i have to factor in money i spend on stuff for my cat.#so yeah it costs me like around $300 a month to keep me and Ham taken care of.#last month i met that goal bc of my big sale. i don't usually make even HALF of what i got then.#comms outside of sales come very rarely for me :( it makes it really hard to um. survive.#im glad food and cat stuff are my only usual expenses though. if i had to worry about rent I'd be DOOMED.#sometimes i wonder like ''why don't i just get an actual job?'' and then i remember im a disabled high school dropout 🙃#these days even ppl with GREAT credentials are struggling with unemployment so what are my fucking chances???? slim to none.#the economy is in shambles

i love being a math tutor so much you dont understand like. theres the obvious stuff, like when a kid who was getting 60s proudly shows you they got an 80 on their last test, or getting to watch someone gradually improve at something they were struggling with and gain confidence in it. but theres also little stuff like. a girl told me last week that i taught her a new word. one kid asks a lot of questions about what hes learning about, wondering what something is or how it works, and i always explain it to him (as long as i know the answer) even though its usually not relevant. and he told me that he appreciates that i do that and even apologized because it makes him want to ask more questions about other stuff (he has adhd so he gets sidetracked a lot lol). and it just. like. that tangible sense of making a difference, even in small unexpected ways, is so so important to me i dont ever want to lose it
#hmmm maybe i should be a high school teacher#i always talked about wanting to be a teacher as a kid and my dad always told me i was better than that#he probably wouldnt say that now that im an unemployed dropout huh. anyway#i love explaining shit to people i love teaching someone something new i love learning and i absolutely love math#and most importantly. i hate the way kids who score low are treated. by their classmates and teachers and parents and everyone#as someone who experienced that entitlement and superiority from the other side and now#works directly with kids who constantly underestimate their own abilities and are convinced that theyll just never get better at it#its awful. god is it awful. and if i can make a difference to even one kid whos struggling then that matters so much#anyway sorry to get all sappy about this ive just been thinking about it a lot

i hate hanging out with kids because of the way people treat kids and the social rules surrounding speaking out when you don't like how a kid is being treated. like, if you're hanging out with a group of adults and one of the adults is cruel to another, there are many ways to say, "hey, don't treat them like that." or you can even ignore that person and tell the person who was wronged, "i can't believe they were so cruel to you." but with kids you're really not supposed to say anything at all unless it's your kid. and it's crazy because the stakes are so much higher. an adult being treated cruelly has so much more agency. they can leave, they can speak up and probably be listened to, they can be cruel back and not immediately be vilified. a kid usually just has to endure it. and judging by personal experience they don't even internalise it as "that person is cruel" it's more like "this is normal treatment."
#it's such a minor example but last time i saw my babiest cousin he had a messy nose so i grabbed a kleenex#and everybody said 'ohh he hates when you wipe his nose' but then i did it and he just rolled with it#and everyone was like 'wow so weird!' and then i became the nose wiper for the next few hours#and it was kind of an ongoing puzzle that he'd just let me swipe at his face repeatedly#then i saw someone else do it and realised what it is is he doesn't like it when someone scrubs the fuck out of his face#which i can personally relate to quite a lot#so i said 'oh that's what it is i'm just way gentler with the tissue'#and i got a dirty look and an awkward pause ☹️#like every time i go hang out with him there's always something like that where i feel like i'm pissing everyone off by having an opinion#meanwhile these same people keep rapists around like it's nothing#i got invited to see the baby this weekend and i don't even know if i should#i love him but the older he gets the more moments of 😨 i'll experience#and judging by experiences with my now-teenage cousins it will only get worse and even more high stakes#it was miserable finding out my 16 year old high school dropout cousin was astronomically high every day and had been for six months#and no one else really thought much of it at all#i hate this fucking family :'(#adam yaps

as always if you can please reblog and explain in the tags your mental reasoning as to why you think he is that age :)
#in my head jimmy is FOR SURE between 17-19#he’s immature and very idol heavy#not to say adults can’t be both of those things but like. he’s definitely a kid#i know that when he was babbling about killing that girl he said ‘back in high school’ but i can’t imagine him not being a dropout#jthm#johnny the homicidal maniac#r#poll

❝ does anyone else find it peculiar that all my female friends are still high schoolers despite being nearly 20 ? why is xiao still wearing a school uniform ? asuka pulled up in a school uniform, didn't she turn 18 about 5 months ago ? why is alisa going to school, she's a robot, & she's designed to be around xiao's age ? is something going on that i'm not aware of ? are they even going to school, or are my friends involved in a cult ? ❞

(cw for gun violence & racism mentions in tag post)
#was reading about the kid who got shot for ringing a white man's door bell#and feeling so angry bc i can't help thinking that white cultural demands perfection from black victims#oh a kid got shot? how were his grades? what extracurriculars did he do?#i would be just as sad and angry about this shit if this boy was a high school dropout#i would feel like screaming even if he had been ringing door bells as a prank instead of trying to pick up his siblings#i want to live in a world where children don't get shot#where white people aren't ruled by the irrational fear of black and brown people that's been taught since this country was colonized#and as always I'm sitting here looking at the situation & knowing that my whiteness keeps me at a distance from being like the victim here#as much as it repulses me to think about it-- i know I'm closer to the shooter#so many years of watching this violence unfold again and again is like staring at your guts spilling out of you#viscera and mess and rot all spilling out.#and just when you start to think you've made progress cleaning it up it all explodes out again#ugh.#sorry for the imagery it's just. this kid shouldn't have been shot and neither should trayvon martin or mike brown#or the countless others who have been turned into cardboard cutouts with lists of achievements and names we're supposed to keep saying#over and fucking over#i don't want to say any more names. bc i don't want there to BE anymore.#sorry i just had to get that all out

i think a high school au for my object ocs would actually be very funny but i couldnt decide between making sunshine and two teachers ar the school or stupid nerdy ass kids And two just beats sunshine up on the playgroudn daily. bcuz theyre like so much older rhan everybody else and sunshine IS a teacher. but two would have tormented sunshine if they knew each other as kids. He needed to
#hypothetically sunshine and two would be 12th grade#starr would be 11th#rainbow jayden bubblegum and blue would be 10th#watermelon would be 9th#building block would be like a genius 10 year old who skipped a few grades and is in 9th grade now#kind of ruins the vibe of their actual show BUT it would be really funny#also there arent a lot of characters so idk who the rest of the classmates would be 😭 just random extras i guess#imagining jayden and rainbow in a class with all of blue's siblings..... god help them!!#two's sister couldnt be alive in this au but since she was in her 20s when she actually died how old would she be instead#and how did she die bcuz it couldnt be an abusive boyfriend if two is only 17 and she's 3 years younger than him#overthinking the high school au i have no actual desire to write i just think it'd be funny. none of them need to be in a high school#apart from bubblegum who actually is in high school#JAYDEN IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROPPOUT FOR A REASON‼️‼️ 😭#he's actually still a dropout in this au he just hangs around the back of the school and smokes weed. he's rainbow's weed smoking bf#likely thing for him to be#txt#object ocs
