#i have coursework dude

[communistkenobi]

What do you think of captain picard so far? I didn't like him at all and skipped episodes that focused on him.

completely sauceless 1) french 2) monotone 3) has not rolled around on the ground once

[melodic-haze]

I HAD NO IDEA U WROTE FOR HSR OMG.. what do you think of bratty sub seele who just wants you to put her in her place?? i love her so bad i feel sick omfgjdksn

☆ — DEMO TRACK: sub!Seele x dom!Reader

☆ — NOTES: 🌈THE MORE YOU KNOW🌈 YES I DO WRITE FOR HSR!!! I've been on the grind recently too. Like initially I found it kinda boring but I came back bc of Acheron so now I have it running in auto the bg while I'm doing coursework. I'm waiting for Robin but I'm still in FUCKING XIANZHOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Bratty sub Seele ohhhhhmygod anon I think I'm going to COMBUST dude

All that bravado and what does she use it on? Fucking pissing you off to the high heavens above

She's a headstrong character!! She don't gaf ab what anyone thinks when she KNOWS she's in the right (and even when she's wrong she'll still put up a fight lmfao)

Unfortunately for you (or fortunately, whichever way you look at it 🤷‍♀️), she LOVES going out of her way to be deliberately infuriating too, making sure you're watching her all the while

You're glad that Seele and Bronya are enjoying themselves. Really, you are! Having Belobog united again proved to be a good decision, and having them spearhead the tides of change turned out to be more than beneficial.

..But for some reason, today just seemed off. You don't know why, but you felt irritated.

Maybe it was what you ate this morning, maybe it was something that happened yesterday.. or maybe it was how Seele behaved.

You accompanied her to help with the efforts to unify all of Belobog once again, but ypu feel yourself regretting it when you see how.. business seems to be conducted.

It started off as small touches here and there; the Wildfire member giving Belobog's brand new Guardian a pat on the back, or a touch on her shoulder to grab her attention when the latter was focused on the paperwork in front of her. But then it progressed—Seele leaning into Bronya's back to read something that caught her attention, holding her hand when it isn't really necessary...

Of course body contact isn't really rare between the two—they formed some kind of bond when Bronya was stuck in the Underground—but there was just something extra annoying to how your girlfriend had haphazardly draped herself on the Silvermane Commander's body.

You did feel bad for feeling this way, especially when Bronya was involved because the poor girl did nothing wrong! But when you see the Underworlder smirk right at you as she went to hug the new Guardian for a problem now solved?

It was really hard not to get annoyed.

What's worse is that it seems that Seele knew that well.

You try to drag her away for a little "break" and she fully denies ANYTHING she's done

"You know," she says with a smug grin, "if you're going to try and help, then you should probably start by analysing what we do less and helping us with the work more."

You crossed your arms, "Don't know if you've noticed, but I have been doing it. Oh, but you were practically all over Bronya, so it's no surprise you didn't notice a thing."

She shrugged, "I've just been showing my appreciation for her efforts. Being the Supreme Guardian seems like a hassle, so."

While you do agree, you can't help but feel your blood boil a little at the smug look on her face.

She knew what she was doing.

And you can't have that.

You don't drag her back home immediately, no. You did still have a job to do, and it'd be rude to leave Bronya alone last minute!!! But when you were basically allowed to go, you drag her back IMMEDIATELY. She's gonna be complaining all the while, and even if you snap at her and tell her to behave she won't. It's like she WANTS to be punished (she does 🤷‍♀️)

And when you do get home? Ohhh you need to take action right that very second bc she'd STILL a huge loudmouth, she won't shut her gob about how you're 'overreacting' or something........so you may as well use that mouth for something

Instead of snapping at her, snap your hips to her mouth 🥰 let that dick fill her mouth up, give her something else to do aside from constantly talk shit and essentially dig her grave even more than necessary!!! Don't hold back either, cuz if you do then she's gonna taunt you. "'s that the best you've got? Please," she'd go. Make her work on you before absolutely ABUSING her face, make her gag and forget whatever retort she had ready. Oh, she wanted you to be rougher?? She better not come crying to you by the time you're done 🫶

You pull out of her after a bit but you're not done. Oh NOnonono absolutely not lol you turn her around and push her down so she's on all fours with her back facing you. You have to punish her thoroughly, you can't just leave it half-assed!!! Slap her ass hard, do NOT hold anything back this bitch is gonna keep whining you like a little brat otherwise. You need to discipline her properly, so keep abusing her backside until it's all red and her eyes are glazing over

Oh, but what's this???? Despite the fact that she's yelping and screaming from every hit you inflict on her, when you palm her cunt you realise that she's soaking wet down there, and she only gets wetter the more you spank her. Is your poor little baby actually getting off on this?? Actually pathetic lol

Just like everything else in your session, fuck her fast and HARD. Absolutely abuse her hole down here just like you did her other one until she can't even form fucking words anymore. Don't stop spanking her either!!! So much would be happening at once and her tiny little brain won't be able to handle it, turning into mush as you fuck her sooooo dumb

The pace you went at was absolutely relentless, only ever stopping when you felt tired, not if she needed a break. And why would you ever ask her if she needed a break? Even as she kept begging you to stop because it feels too much, she can't think anymore, why would you ever consider actually thinking about her? If she really wanted you fo stop, you both know that the safeword is right there.

Plus with the way Seele looks right now—mouth agape as drool trailed down her chin, eyes rolled back, slick coating your cock and her thighs—you don't really think she wants to stop. Quite the opposite, actually.

"Is this.. what you wanted the entire time?" You grunted as you pulled her neckerchief up to get her closer to you and maybe cut off her breathing, but when you feel her buck against you with moan, you find that she isn't complaining in the least. Your force never falters as you spoke, "Me having my way.. with you.. and reminding you where you belong?"

You hadn't really expected an answer from her in this state, not like you cared when you were more concerned about essentially reducing her into nothing but your pretty little fleshlight, but you see her nod shakily.

When she hums out in agreement, it comes out as more of a whine when your tip hits that particular spot inside her, "Y-- Yeeeesss..! Fuuuck, I've been sss-- such a bad girl-- ohfuckfuckFUCK right thereee... I'll do whate-- whatever you want just pleasepleasepleaseeee don't stop I'm almost--"

You rolled her eyes, "If you wanted attention, all you had to do was say so.. but if you love this so much then what's stopping me from just--" you let go of her neckerchief and slipped yourself out while your palm hits her stinging skin particularly hard, "--taking it all away from you?"

There, she lets out the biggest fucking whine as she drops before she screams out, her legs quivering and her pussy fluttering around nothing. Her cum gushes out of her, wetting the surface underneath you, as her body shook at the force of her orgasm.

"I didn't give you permission to cum, baby."

"'m.. s-sorryyy... Please don't be mad, I--"

"'Sorry' this, 'please' that, you get the opportunity to be a dumb brat and you take it happily but the moment it's something you want, you try to be a good girl." You turn her around so that she's facing you and you hit her inner thigh with a glare, to which she sobs so pathetically, "You're being selfish, Seele. I think I need to break you in again, make you remember how you behave."

Her breath hitches and she looks at you with such wide and teary eyes, but you know with the way her pupils are blown wide that she more than wants this.

By the time you're near finished, you COULD actually have her cum on your terms.....OR you could absolutely deny her of that privilege because really, why would you ever reward her for being a little shit????

Pull out of her when she hits her peak and make her suck your cock as you put a vibrator in her pussy in the lowest possible fucking setting. She's gonna whine and plead you to help her finish but don't help her 🤷‍♀️ tell her to leave it in until tomorrow's day ends. If she doesn't act like a whore like she did today then you'll reward her greatly!!!! But if not? Then you'll be doing this all over again, having the vibe in her and stimulating her in public until she learns to behave

That's what she wanted after all—to be punished appropriately

She acts like she's against it too, but if she was then she would've made it genuinely known and she could take it out herself.....but when you see her put her clothes on the next day with the toy peeking out before she coves it up with her panties, well. Doesn't seem like she really hates it after all 🫶

hiii congrats on 400 i love ur blog!!

i have a headcannon that jason takes architecture in new rome university to pursue his vision of rebuilding temple hill. can i request an architecture student!jason fic? maybe some engineering student!leo tossed in as well idk haha tysmmm! ~~♡

ೃ⁀➷ Screws and Ceramicsೃ⁀➷

author's note: I'm sorry this took so long!! I'm back on my writing spree finally!!

“The exterior facade of the Colosseum consists of four levels, with the bottom three levels composed of 80 arches each. Structurally speaking, the arches make possible the immense size of the structure-”

Jason adjusted his glasses as he was trying his hardest to copy his notes down, as quickly as possible, the professor was going kinda fast but Jason didn't blame him.

They have so much coursework for this semester. New Rome coursework for architecture students included the basics of Colosseum construction, Parthenon preservation and the surprising malleability of marble.

Currently Jason was learning the basics of Colosseum construction. It wasn't easy, but Jason was willing to give it his all, he even asked Annabeth for advice. His dream was to redesign temple hill, after he was done finishing the minor gods project. The only way he could get the permission to professionally redesign the structure of a long existing camp, was to get a degree to prove that he was worthy enough.

Romans do not play when it comes to buildings. Moreover, he didn't want anyone to call him a “nepo baby” and that he only got to design temple hill because he was Jupiter's son. Annabeth had already moved up levels of the architecture courses, and graduated with Percy. Jason was two years younger, by the time Annabeth had graduated, he was only then finishing highschool in California, so he still had a long way to go. Thankfully, Leo took engineering in NRU, so Jason had great company.

“Man, all these Romans do is yap yap and yap in cursive. They know nothing about how engineering works.” Leo babbled, complaining about his professor, who was a legacy of vulcan.

Jason scowled. “What are you implying, Leo? That we Romans know nothing about building stuff? That's the biggest stretch I've ever heard. They've built the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Domus Aurea, the Pantheon, Trajan's Column, Trajan's Market, the Catacombs, the Circus Maximus, the Baths of Caracalla, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Mausoleum of Augustus-”

“Woah woah calm down. I see you've clearly learnt all the names of those Roman buildings for your upcoming exam, thank me later for discreetly testing you. Looks like you really know your stuff dude. Romans are still mid engineers though” Leo winked. Jason stared at him bewildered. He hadn't even realized that he spit out all those Roman building names, he'd been up all night studying them.

“Iuppiter te perdat, valdez” (may Jupiter come at you, valdez) Jason muttered.

“Aww come on, don't go all Latin on me now, did you curse me out?” Leo questioned.

“maybe.”

“Well, whether you realize it or not, I seem to be the only one who somehow get you to apply whatever you've learnt in class dude. I mean, I've said like two sentences, and that's enough to get you to yap about Roman buildings and Latin curses” Leo laughed.

Well, he wasn't wrong.

“also you are only proving my point that Romans yap in cursive, I mean, have you seen yourself speak?” Jason gave him a pointed look.

“don't worry, it's cute.” Leo said, patting Jason's hair.

“Well, maybe i yap in cursive because I'm actually knowledgeable.” Jason replied, tersely smiling.

“a little too much of a big head but fair point.” Leo admitted.

“Anyways I'm starving. In honor of you insulting us Romans, Let's go eat some nice Roman food," Jason said, dragging Leo to the cafeteria.

“Leo, what's wrong?” Jason asked as he slipped inside Leo's dorm room. He hadn't heard from leo in a few hours now and he was getting worried.

Leo was scrambling anxiously, his hands seemed to be having minds of their own as his eyes darted around the room.

“I have like, 2 projects due tomorrow, and I swore to myself that I'd start on them early but I was having so much fun it totally slipped my mind-”

“Okay. Alright. First off, calm down. You still have like, 10 hours till your next class. You can still get it done by then, stressing out only prolongs your progress-”

“Give it a rest Dr. Phill” Jason rolled his eyes.

“I'm just trying to help”

“Well it isn't working, just letting you know, man”

“What's your project about? I'm no engineer, but maybe i could help with building the outer structure or solving machine equations to help make it work better-”

“Oh please yes. I need all the help I can get right now”

Jason smiled.

And so. The architect and engineer started their nerdy fiasco.

You’re so art deco

Chapter two

Description: you are a struggling college student who needs some cash. Your friend suggests a sugar daddy but you wouldn’t do that. Right?

I’m so sorry it took a bit to get up but here’s chapter two! Also sorry abt the 1975 reference I was listening to that song. -A

“WHAT?!” Grace’s jaw dropped as she heard the news. “But I thought you didn’t want a sugar daddy.”

“I was wrong. And I’m sorry.” You heard yet another ping from your laptop.

“Is that him?” Grace looked baffled as you nodded. “What did he say?” As you looked you had seemed to find a mirror selfie. Of Johnny wearing a nice button up shirt and some slacks.

“Goddamn.” You spoke.

“Goddamn is right!” Grace exclaimed. “What do I even do with this information.”

“Please don’t tell anyone I wanna keep this lowkey.” You pleaded with Grace.

“Okay but only because I love you.” Grace started to get ready for bed herself.

“I love you too I’m gonna send him a pic back do I look cute?” You asked as she laughed.

“Yeah, totally.” She smiled as you took the picture. This was probably the happiest she had seen you since you moved in.

“Thank you so much, you’re literally the best!” You were grinning as it sent. “But we should get ready for bed.”

“I know you might be a little wired with this new sugar daddy but I’m ready to go to bed.” Grace laughed.

“Goodnight Gracie.” You pulled the covers up onto your body. “I love you.”

“Night (y/n/n). I love you too.” Grace smiled as you began to shut your eyes and drift off into sleep.

Waking up you checked your computer.

@johnC95: good morning Doll. Hope you have a good day.

@Y/n: good morning Johnny. You too. Luckily I’m off today.

@johnC95: so where do you go to school?

@y/n: UCLA.

@johnC95: oh cool, I’m not that far from there. Would you wanna do like coffee?

@y/n: sure, when would you wanna meet up?

Your heart pounded in your chest. What were you going to wear? How were you going to do your hair? What if he didn’t like you when you guys met up?

@johnC95: I’m kind of booked for the next couple days. Is Saturday okay?

You look at the calendar. Saturday was three days away. You looked to see if you were working as you typed.

@y/n: lemme check my schedule. I should be good though.

As you doubled checked you sighed in relief

“Thank god.” you said to yourself. “I’m off on a Saturday, for once.”

@johnC95: sounds good! I wanna hear your voice again so bad.

@y/n: maybe we can talk later tonight. Btw what’s your number?

@johnC95: oh I’m sorry it’s (xxx)xxx-xxxx.

You type it into your phone putting it under the contact ‘Johnny <3’. As you text the number you feel a strange sensation in you stomach, like it was being tied into knots. Why was it that you were so nervous to text him?

You decide on a quick ‘Hi it’s y/n :).’

‘Hello doll :).’

You sighed as you start to get out of bed.

‘What are you doing today?’

‘I’m not sure I might lounge around my dorm, do some coursework, just try to relax’

‘Fair enough. I really do wanna hear your lovely voice. Or even see that beautiful face (y/n).’

‘Why don’t we talk right now? Even if it isn’t for long.’

‘I’m going to be with my daughter soon and I want to make sure she’s my first priority.’

‘You have a daughter? What’s her name? How old is she?’

‘Her name is Cassie and shes 16.’

‘Okay awesome!’

‘Sorry gtg she’s here!’

You wonder what she was like. You went to your closet pulling out a baby tee that said ‘reading is sexy’ and a pair of low rise jeans. Putting on socks you lace up your black converse. Then putting on music you decided to do your hair and makeup.

“This has to be a little over kill to just go study.” You laughed to yourself as you put on mascara.

“Bitchhhhhh.” Grace yelled as she entered your dorm. “Hot psych guy wasn’t in class today. I wanna cry.”

“I’m sorry dude.” You turned to her with a frown. “Wanna grab coffee with me before I have to go to the library?”

“Sure. The local one though. On campus. It has such better coffee.”

“Obviously, it’s a local coffee shop. They’re always better.” You laughed. “But let’s go.”

You grab your stuff not forgetting your phone and headphones. Grace opened the door back up.

“Nice shirt.” Grace winked as she held the door open.

“Thanks, my friend got it for me.” You winked back. Remembering when you and her got baby tees on the boardwalk. Laughing she led the way to the shop. You held the door open for her as you guys chatted.

“Dude would you love me if I was a worm?” Grace asked, cackling.

“Are you like a talking worm or a regular one?”

“What the fuck?!” She giggled. “A talking worm! It’s so funny, like ‘help (y/n) I got turned into a talking worm!’ That’s so crazy.”

“It’s a hypothetical in a hypothetical!” You chuckled as you guys got up to the counter.

“Iced coffee oatmilk?” grace asked.

“Dude I asked I can’t let you buy it. It’s on me this time.” You tried, knowing she wouldn’t let you.

“No seriously. Dude, I love you and you deserve this.” She smiled. “Two medium iced coffees with oat milk please.”

“Fine you win, but I’m paying next time.”

“Never going to happennnn!” Graced took out her card. “Thank you so much, have a great day.”

You guys sat down and waited for your coffee as you talked about the whole sugar daddy thing.

“I’m nervous to meet him.” You admitted. “Like what if he doesn’t like me?”

“He’s gonna fucking love you!” Grace exclaimed. “Are you kidding me! You’re literally the best!”

“You’re right. I’m being silly.”

“Oh our coffee is ready!” She ran to grab them “I’ll walk you to the library. It’s a sucky walk without a friend.”

“You’re right.” You agreed as you felt your phone buzz.

‘I think can’t wait to hear your voice again.’ You smiled as you type back.

‘That is really sweet. Thank you Johnny.’

‘Cassie is gonna go out with a friend tonight. Should I come up tonight?’

‘Sure.’

“SHIT!” You yelled. “Grace. We need to go back to the dorm.”

“What’s wrong (Y/n)?” she followed you as you took a break neck pace towards your dorm building. “Stop running!”

You only stopped briefly as you texted Johnny.

‘So what were you thinking?’

‘Maybe we do dinner. How’s Italian sound?’

‘Great what time were you thinking?’

‘How abt I pick you up @ 8?’

‘Perfect!’

“WHATS GOING ON?!” Grace yelled out of breath.

“It’s happening tonight.” You stared in awe.

“What?”

“ITS HAPPENING TONIGHT!”

“Oh-then lets go!” You both started running again. As you reached your dorm you both hastily got inside. “What are you thinking about wearing? Where is it? How long until he picks you up? “

“We’re doing Italian, he’s picking me up at eight and I have no fucking clue!”

“I have an idea how about that black and pink floral dress with kitten heels, my viviennes, that heart pendant and pink floral clutch?”

“You are literally a life saver! And how about a y2k claw clip half up-half down look for my hair?!”

“Let’s do this.” You laughed as Grace pulled out the outfit while you hopped into the shower. As you showered you thought about Johnny and that feeling came back. You cursed those damned butterflies as you calmed yourself down.

Making sure that you were properly cleaned you popped on some of the 1975.

“I like my men like I like my coffee, full of soy milk and so sweet, it won’t offend anybody.” You sang as you put your makeup on and danced around your bathroom.

“Dude I love that song!” Grace yelled out as she pulled you out of the bathroom.

“You’re lucky I was done.” You feigned a serious look. Before cracking up.

“I’m gonna help you get ready.” You stepped into the dress as she checked your messages with Johnny.

“He said ‘I can’t wait to see how gorgeous you look when I come pick you up, doll. And you sent me the right building?’’

“Text him back ‘awww Johnny, you’re too sweet. And yes I did.’”

“Okay and sent!” Grace watched as you put in the earrings. “Don’t forget the pink claw clip! It’ll match better!”

“Thank you grace!” You fixed up your hair and did final touches to your makeup.

“Wow, (y/n/n). If Johnny doesn’t like you, I’ll be your sugar daddy.”

“Gracie!”

You heard the buzzer to be buzzed into your dorm. Looking at your phone you saw his text.

‘I’m here.’

‘Okay buzzing you up!’ As you did so. Soon enough you heard a knock at your door. Letting him in you saw that he was even more gorgeous than on the screen. His perfectly quaffed hair was about to be in silver fox territory as he had evidence of smile lines beginning to form at his eyes. He was tall and muscular. As you could see from the curves of his suit.

“You look- wow.” He stared, face full of awe.

“Thank you Johnny. You look good too.” You smiled, catching a glance at what was in his hand. “What are those?”

“Oh-” his trance had been broken, as he held them out for you. “These are for you.”

“Thank you so much! They’re beautiful!” You took the bouquet.

[desceros]

hi sam!! kind of a different request, but would you list as many of your favorite orchestral pieces as you can? association with turtles v welcome but also optional! i have trouble doing my coursework because i can't listen to anything in the background while doing it (shows, music with lyrics), but i listened to scheherazade because of you and really loved it, plus got some work done to boot!! i'm not sure where to start in looking for more music like that so i thought i'd ask you. :)

oohhhh what a FUN ask, thank you so much!! i promise i am going to TRY to be REASONABLE with how much i talk about this. if i really did mention "as many as i could" i think i'd find out if tumblr has a character limit in text posts, hahaha!

so my favorite symphony of ALL TIME is symphony 9 by dvorak. absolute must-listen. my favorite moment of the entire piece (which you HAVE to listen to the entire thing to get REALLY feral about) is the last huge chord progression in the fourth movement that takes the db major brass chords from the second movement and puts it to the BOMBASTIC TYMPANI EB MINOR EXTRAVAGANZA from the first movement and makes me want to CHEW THROUGH BEDROCK, RAHHH

aside from that, here are a few that i love a lot and totes recommend:

all of scheherezade is, of course, absolutely stunning. it's one of my favorite pieces of all time. if you haven't listened to the other movements, i highly recommend! in this same vein is you liked that are pieces like the stepps by borodin, the polovstian dances (also borodin), marche slav by tchaikovsky, and to some extent saint-saens piano concerto no. 5 has some similar themes, particularly in the absolutely DELICIOUS second movement. it's called "orientalism" and while the, uh, intent has a history of. to say generously. problematic undertones. the pieces themselves are lovely.

russian easter overture by rimsky korsakov. i played this one in high school and man. it's just so FUN and PRETTY.

symphonie fantastique by hector berlioz. it's the story of this dude having a really bad acid trip. no i'm not kidding. also the fifth movement has the dies irie in my favorite iteration ever. eat your heart out, mozart.

...actually just literally anything by tchaikovsky. gun to my head, i'd say he's my favorite classical composer. i'm partial to his ballet work because that's what i played a lot of personally, but his overtures and concertos are quite fun. his romeo and juliet overture is extremely famous (though i personally vastly prefer the opening part over the latter, more famous part). every violinist you ever meet will be traumatized by him, though. so do be careful.

speaking of concertos: my favorite (ugh. i'm a traitor) is probably the barber violin concerto. it just has this. cinematic vibe to it that makes me think of something magical.

(....though the elgar cello concerto and the grieg piano concerto may have something to say about this.)

the planets suite by holst is very fun. you've probably heard mars, and you may recall the romance theme from jupiter if you've seen the movie braveheart. it's one of those mainstream pieces most people have heard. my particular favorite movement is uranus. it's so bouncy and fun!!! classical headbanger music here

beethoven is quite fun to listen to. for his orchestral work, i'm partial to symphony no. 5 since that was the first one i played and the drama of it is enthralling. (yes. i think it's better than nine. sue me.). that said, between you and me, i like the egmont overture better than his symphonies. that low open c on the viola is just so god damned juicy—[door bangs open] OH NO. IT'S THE PRETENTIOUS POLICE. THEY FOUND ME

i'll stop there. these are a few symphonic pieces, since you asked for those specifically. i also really love chamber music (which is just the strings section, sans the woodwinds/brass/percussion/etc), but i find those amazing to listen to as well! anywho i hope you enjoy some slash all of these and good luck with your studies!!

Mamma Masterlist

The Lake House

Summer 2018

"Jim! Can you get the door honey?" Ellen's voice sounds from inside the house, making Quinn chuckle from my side, our luggage in his hands.

The door swings open, revealing Jim Hughes, the yelling of the boys clear as they run around the lake house. Our last summer before Q joins the Canucks full time.

"It's Quinner and Ruthie!" Jim bellows, and it's clear where the Hughes boys get their volume from. "Hi sweetie," He greets me, pulling me into a tight hug.

"It's nice to see you too, Dad," Quinn greets, making his father laugh as he pulls away, going to hug his eldest.

"Don't act like it's not clear that Ruthie is the favorite child," Jack speaks up, the chaos having calmed as all the boys crowd the hall that Jim lets us in to.

"Q," Jack greets his brother, Quinn setting down our bags for a moment to hug his brother as Luke approaches us, the 16 year old heading straight into my arms.

"Hey kiddo," I welcome, giving him a tight squeeze. "You're practically a string bean. When did you turn into a giant?"

He chuckles, giving me another squeeze before pulling away. "The same time you got old."

"Old!" I yell, shoving him back. "How dare you! I am barely four years older than you! Q, Moose is being mean to me," I complain jokingly.

"Dude, you never call a woman old, Ladies 101," Jack advices, him and Lu switching places as I pull the 18 year old into a hug. "It's good to see you Ruth."

"Always good to see you kiddo," I return, looking towards where Trevor, Alex, Cole and Jamie stand. "And hello to you boys."

"Hi Mom," Trevor is the one to respond, and from the corner of my eye I can see Quinn roll his eyes at the wild teen.

"Speaking of mom, where is Ellen?" I question the Hughes.

"Right here, sweetie, which means it's my turn for a hug!" Ellen speaks up, apron still on as she pulls me into a hug. "God, I've missed having another girl around," She all but groans.

"How does it feel, knowing our parents like your girlfriend more than any of us?" Luke asks Quinn, the younger boy wrapping his arm around his brother as Jim disappears with our luggage.

"I don't like her more," Ellen defends, pulling back with a directed look to her sons. "She's just the first girl in the family. Let me appreciate her," She requests, smiling brightly before looking to me. "Why don't you get settled sweetie? I need to borrow Quinn for a few minutes to catch up with my oldest baby."

"Of course Ellen," I assure, giving her a side hug before making my way to Jack's friends. "Now, who wants to tell me what y'all have been up to?"

"Is everything ok Mom? We talk almost every day, there's nothing to catch up on," Quinn questions as his mom pulls him into the kitchen, leaving Ruth with his brother's and Jack's friends, all of who call her mom.

"What are you and Ruthie planning about Vancouver? Is she going to stay at UMich?" Is the first thing out of Ellen's mouth. "I think you should propose before you take off. I trust her, but men will hit on her otherwise."

"Whoa Mom what? I'm not proposing just because I'm moving to Vancouver," He denies the crazed idea, not admitting it had run through his head as well. "And Rue is staying in Michigan. She has to finish her degree."

"Oh poor thing, with her exams and student teaching schedule, and you everywhere all the time it's going to be so hard for her to visit, or for you to visit."

"Isn't student teaching just a couple days a week?" Quinn questions, having thought it was just like any other class when Ruth had said she was applying.

"Honey, student teaching in 5 days a week, 7am to 5pm, on top of coursework. Ruthie said it'll be a lot but she thinks if she leaves immediately after work on Fridays she'll be able to visit you on weekend-"

"I can't let her disrupt her life and scurry around to see me," Quinn interrupts, his Mom knowing where his head is.

"Then it sounds like you have some thinking to do, Honey," She says softly. "Because that girl out there would do anything for you. Move anywhere, travel anywhere, and do everything she can to make you two work. And it sounds like you don't want that work for her."

And as much as Quinn hates it, his mom is right. He doesn't want the constant stress and traveling for her. He loves her too much for that.

anyways HI. its been uhh... two weeks since last post but about a month since any actual life updates. so im gonna do... that!

gonna split this one into tumblr specific updates and personal updates since i figure the latter is a little less important to some people. not trying to sound mean there, i get the feeling!

anyways, tumblr specific updates!

the big update is that i completely revamped my carrd. theres a lot more text now, and the layout doesnt look as good on mobile as it does on desktop, but i still like how it looks a lot better than the previous version.

i also added a new tag to my pinned. the tag is just this 📁 emoji, and its sort of a catchall tag for posts about media that i like. since i got rid of alter tags a while ago and i dont really like tagging specific franchises, i figured this works better for now.

my pinned post was also updated to reflect this change, and theres even a new tag guide/explanation!

okay now for the more personal life related updates. theres a LOT you have been warned!

where did i last leave off... right, the delaware trip! okay well i say that as if a lot happened on that trip. which is incorrect.

the only real big thing about the delaware trip was that i was kind of suffering for the whole trip since i had just been put back on adhd medication, and the dosage was WAY too high so my body did not adjust well at all and i was having like horrific symptoms for the whole week. and i wish i could truthfully say that the dosage of that medication is sorted out now but i cant!!!! 🥲

in the four days between the end of the delaware trip and the first day of school i went to a friends belated birthday party... which was the only time i hung out with any of my friends for the entire summer actually. but the party was still fun...!!

the rest of the updates are gonna be school related. since the next significant thing after that party was the first day of senior year.

my classes have all been manageable so far. i think the stress is definitely going to pile up soon with college application deadlines swiftly approaching, but the impending reality of that hasnt really set in yet. it is definitely nice to be taking classes i genuinely enjoy this year, even if the coursework is difficult!

i dont remember how much ive talked about my social standing at school on here but tldr it sucks. i dont have any genuinely close friends or a dedicated friend group that enjoys my presence at all. something something the we should call fiona interview quote... thats basically described my social situation for the past several months.

in terms of theater. hoo boy. well you see, our drama teacher (and shows producer) is on maternity leave. and not only did she switch the order of plays and musicals again (the fall show is a play this year), but she chose two plays for us to do this fall.

basically both shows are one act plays with no real lead roles since the scenes arent connected at all. performances will go like: show one, intermission, show two. and the "no lead roles" thing would be great except for the fact that this is one of my two senior theater productions with this school and i would like the chance to earn bigger roles, you know?

anyways auditions came and went and the cast list was released last thursday. and you will never guess who one of my romantic scene partners is. well. its my ex 😁👍

i mean besides the fact that i have to pretend to swoon over my ex, im really happy with my roles. i got double cast in one of the plays as opposed to one role in each play, and i like the play i got double cast in a lot better. and i only auditioned with two scenes from that play, and got cast in both of those scenes that i auditioned with, so i assume the director really liked my auditions?

also one of the scenes im in (not the one with my ex) is fully just an internalized homophobia turned "dude i think i love you" scene and its just SUCH a good scene. i really like my scenes and characters, i am just rightfully worried about rehearsing a romantic scene with my ex for two months...! but it will be fine. probably

okay this is getting REALLY long but uhhh general not-life-related updates.

undertale day!!! we split a chara less than 24 hours after the newsletter dropped 👍

my cats fifth birthday was last wednesday!!!!!! i could write a whole essay about how much this tiny beast means to me but just know i love her lots okay?

okay. okay. i THINK thats everything i have to say. uhh this is the part of the post where i talk about future tumblr updates and status.

idk. idk!!!!!!!!! the stress and busyness of senior year is kind of starting to get to me a bit so i might just disappear for a few months. or maybe ill continue updates every couple of weeks or every month.

i definitely want to return to posting here as regularly as i used to, but i always either avoid it for some reason or have other things i need to be doing instead. so whos to say how active ill be! i definitely dont know!

[cryptid-intraining]

Let me introduce you to a strange beef I have with one of the creative members of Criminal Minds.

There was a period of time where I was really into forensic psychology, I was intrigued by the concept of it depicted in Criminal Minds so I started reading forensic psychology textbooks and coursework. There was one section in Criminal Profiling: An Introduction To Behavioral Evidence Analysis by Brent E. Turvey (Fourth Edition) that touched on a now retired FBI profiler called Jim Clemente, in a section about the often flawed and biased nature of the court testimony given by so called "expert profilers". In fact the first half of the textbook is basically just dedicated to explaining how untrustworthy and frequently inaccurate profiling is. Turvey preceded to absolutely rip apart the way Clemente presented his credentials and proof of expertise in the most coldly brutal yet academic manner. For context there were ten whole pages specifically just discussing SSA Clemente's expert witness testimony.

And obviously what I'm getting at is the fact that Clemente was the advising expert on Criminal Minds. He was naturally retired by this point, since I don't think agents are allowed to advise on TV shows when they're still active, but he had worked on numerous high profile (hah) cases before he left the FBI.

Now, onto why I really don't like this dude.

Just looking at the show, it's not clear how much of an influence he had on it, at least not without knowing a little bit about our man Jimmy. Once you do, it becomes clear that he straight up copy and pasted elements of his own life onto the show in some bizarre cool person narrative ego trip.

Have you ever noticed how many times the members of the BAU bring up the case of the DC snipers? It's more than once if you weren't counting. How they often mention how accurate the profile was and generally just use it as a touchstone of "good" profiling?

You'll never guess who created that profile in real life.

They never go so far in the show as to actually name drop Clemente but the constant reference of it is as good as.

We all know and love the team leader of the BAU, right? Good old Aaron Hotchner. His backstory is pretty interesting as well, wouldn't you agree? Prosecutor to BAU profiler, that's neat.

You know who else started as a prosecutor before being recruited as a profiler for the BAU? If you said Robert Ressler you would be wrong but if you said Jim Clemente you would be bang on the money.

There are more, much smaller bits and pieces I've noticed on rewatches. Phrases and metaphors that I've heard Clemente use on video before that he's clearly adding to the scripts (he's done several breakdown style videos on YouTube), it's just a little bit here and there and it irks me to no end.

There isn't anything sinister here. Nothing actually problematic. I just know too much about retired SSA Jim Clemente and I need other people to know about this too because I'm rewatching Criminal Mind and I just can't stop seeing his influences in the shows and it's so annoying.

Find your 3 oldest WIPS. Then list for each:

The inspiration- Why it's still a WIP- Will you finish- Why or why not-

Try not to mean to yourself!

Oh gosh.

First of all ty for the ask!

Secondly, I have to really dig deep into my folder here. The earliest I could find was from 2017... Jesus.

Project Psychology - AgedUp!Peanuts Fic, Peppermint Patty and Lucy 😭

Written in 2020, Lucy asks PP to come over and help her with her coursework. That's it end tweet.

Inspo - Have no idea, however, I think I mentioned it in another AgedUp!Peanuts fanfic that Lucy was studying psychology. She invites Patty round to ask her a few questions about sexual preference and gender identity... That's literally it lol.

Why is it a WIP - Idk dude, probs cause I forgot about the fic, and the premise didn't interest me enough

Will I finish - Not sure, haven't read it in a long time. But I don't think so.

Why not - Not in the fandom too much anymore, and I have other pieces I'd like to write.

2. Demons Rule This Camp - an OC fanfic???

THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 2017 WTF (Brief synopsis: two characters Kayla and Lennox are at a summer camp, and demons infiltrate and try to get them to leave, however, they use the humans to their advantage... What the hell)

Inspo - No joke, a Minecraft chat room. What the hell.

Why is it a WIP - I think I just forgot.

Will I finish - Absolutely not.

Why not - I have another demon that I'd like to write about. However, it is funny that even back then I loved to write about that sort of thing.

3. Rain Rain Go Away - AgedUp!Peanuts fic PP / Marcie

I think this was made in 2020 too, but I'm not sure. Marcie and PP are late for a quiz, lol. It begins to rain hard so they take shelter under a park slide. Patty finds in Marcie's notebook a poem about her, and they confess their love yadayadayada...

Inspo - Aww. This one was based off of Vince Guaraldi's piece, Rain Rain Go Away. It's beautiful if you haven't heard it.

Why is it a WIP - I literally just didn't finish the ending! I think It could probably stand on its own though.

Will I finish - Mmmm probs not, my writing style is so different now.

Why not - I'm not really vibing with the entire plot, but the idea of the rain is cool. I'll just leave it in the drafts for now.

And there we go! Jesus, I just went through the 5 stages of grief reading those. Thank you for the ask. I know you were probs expecting some Bob's ones however, all the Bob's fics I've written have been posted!! Except for one teehee. <3

[theshadowrealmitself]

Who wants to be salty with me?

Anyways, so I went to my first day of class today (I have no fucking idea why they started the week on Thursday?) which was,,, terrifying. there were so many people, despite the professor’s assurances the coursework looked terrifying (mandatory coding class, I’m shit with computers), and I just kept thinking “I don’t belong here, I’m not smart enough”

Honestly spent the entire lecture on the verge of tears

But I made it through!! Treated myself to some food afterwards, I’m sure it’s just the first day jitters

Anyways, that wasn’t the salt stuff, just some updates about my day

The salt stuff is that the professor made a discord (never had a prof make it, it’s always been student created ones), and it’s only got 3 channels and one of those channels is for pet pics, apparently the professor found that it helps students deal with stress, and tbh I’ve really been enjoying it, there’s so many cute pets!!

But one dude decided to write that he didn’t have any pets so here’s a pic of him in his apartment and then just posted a selfie in it????

I don’t like it, it reads one of three ways to me, 1) he thought his face was such a blessing (since this channel is for de-stressing) 🙄 that he had to share it to help us, 2) dude couldn’t stand not participating and needed attention, or 3) it’s his own inside joke with himself which I still hate

Now there’s just this dude’s face when I scroll through the pet pics and it annoys me 😭

Okay mini rant done, just had to be a hater for a couple of minutes, back to wishing the very best for all my fellow students just trying to navigate college

[aemonded]

Okay, so my best friend and I pieced together why Rooster was so pissed at Maverick for pulling his papers solely based on the dates giving on his record in the movie.

So to give you a timeline, Maverick pulled his papers and Rooster is 35 at the time of the movie.

The records say Rooster graduated college in 2009, but it shows that he enlisted in 2004 at twenty.

So what basically happened is that Rooster applied for Annapolis, which is the naval college, didn’t get in because his records were pulled at 20, and had to enlist as a basic dude. 

The records then say he got promoted around 2006, which makes sense- and that’s when he started to take online classes to attempt to be an officer the long form way around. 

This is why he says his career was set back, because he basically had to start off at the bottom of the pecking order (pardon the pun), and then do college to skip some of the steps, which took him six years instead of the four years if he’d been admitted into Annapolis.

If you come out of Annapolis like a lot of enlistees do as officers, they get a guarantee as pilots, and then you get assigned your type of pilot you are. A super-straightforward process. 

So basically Rooster had to do regular college, while he was doing his regular enlisted job, for SIX YEARS to get to the same position Annapolis would have done in four. And he had to do really well in all his coursework to be like PLEASE LET ME BE A PILOT.

It also says his address is Virginia Beach, Virginia, and the University of Virginia has programs for active military dudes, because it’s near Quantico, which is the biggest Navy base in the United States.

So either he did some coursework before that he paid for on his own, or worked until twenty/ took care of Carole, and then enlisted. Attempted to go through Annapolis, got rejected because Maverick pulled his papers, and then had to enlist as a regular schmuck and then most likely once he got his promotion in 2006, then they were like SURE WE’LL PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR SCHOOLWORK because he was finally on the officer track/ was seen as serious enough to do his degree work, and then this man had to complete three more years of coursework remotely at sea with bag-ass shitty wifi. 

Even though there’s the GI Bill, it’s harder to get involved in higher level officer coursework/ or degree coursework as a “grunt.” So that’s most likely why it took him three years to apply, and why he started classes in 2006 when he got promoted. 

So on top of all this, imagine poor Rooster just having to do his entire degree remotely and having to have his big ass type away with two fingers (cause you know he’s a two-finger typer), for three years along with active duty, in order to graduate and get to the same level he would have been if he’d gotten into Annapolis in the first place.

On top of all that, there was still no guarantee that he could have been flying jets after all this. Because it’s a draw system after you choose like your top three choices for being a certain type of pilot, and not like, the straightforward process it is at Annapolis where you can get assigned a jet pilot right off the jump.

So like, he also had a hell of a lot of luck, because if he had been given the other two options, this poor asshole could have been flying a chopper or some shit.

SO TO BE FAIR MAVERICK I’D ALSO BE PISSED AFTER YOU MADE ME DO MY ENTIRE DEGREE BY BASICALLY THE MODERN DAY EQUIVALENT OF PIGEON CORRESPONDENCE BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T HANDLE YOUR GUILT PLUS HAD TO HAVE A HELL OF A LOT OF LUCK SO I WASN’T FLYING HELICOPTERS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE THANKS MAV IM 35 AT THE SAME RANK AS A 30 YEAR OLD

Hey Bea so I just got the best idea for a Steve Kemp read that I think not just me but everyone that follows you and Harry Styles fans will agree with me so here is the idea. Harry is in the town. And Steve and reader surprise the girls at dinner has surprised the girls with Steve taking all his girls to the concert so the girls plan Steve's outfit and the girls plan their outfit. While the reader takes her boys out for dinner then they come back and teach reader how to play video games. I would love to see this be written because if you write this would be the best Christmas present ever.

Merry Christmas Bea!!!

Love Every.

part of toxic

It was a quiet night at the Kemp household, at least as quiet as it could be with a bunch of teenagers, a toddler, and a baby. Steve was in a particular good, specially with Daisy spending the weekend home from college, without her boyfriend - which surely did wonders to Steve’s mood. However, that peace and quiet quickly died down just as she called everyone down for dinner. Suddenly, there were people swarming the kitchen table, moving around and having petty fights about who got to seat where, while Y/N merely held Aaron against her side, happy to at least still have one of her babies who was happy just to be with mum and didn’t fight her or Steve in pretty much anything. She strapped Aaron to the high chair, serving him first before the whole family started to dig into the food. 

      - How’s college, Daisy? - Steve asked just as everything settled down. - You know, my old professor works there still. 

      - It’s good. Coursework is a bit too much but I’m doing well. 

      - Nerd. - Ivy mumbled, gaining a glare from her dad. - What? We all know Daisy is a nerd. 

      - It would do you some good to maybe be slightly nerdish. - Steve commented but Ivy just shrugged. - Don’t call your sister a nerd. 

      - What’s a nerd? - William pipped up from his seat. 

      - Mum, Daisy and Dad. - Ivy continued. 

      - And what are you, Ivy? - Y/N questioned. - Because you are exactly like your dad, so what does that make you, darling? 

      - No one say I’m like dad.

      - Everyone says you’re like dad. - Rose added. - Daisy’s like mum and you’re like dad. 

      - Only the cool parts. - Ivy mumbled to herself, looking back to the vegetables on her plate.

      - Great, now that we’ve had time for that, I have some good news. - Steve got up from the table, giving his wife a sneaky look. - I know you girls really like that One Direction dude ...

     - Which one? - Cornelia looked at him with eyes filled with excitement and curiosity. 

     - Which one, love? - he mumbled to Y/N who mumbled a response back. - Harry, right. I got you girls tickets but I promised your mum I would take you. 

The peace and quiet were replaced by girly shrieks as all of the girls got up from the table to hug their dad, making Y/N smile from where she was sat. Immediately, the shrieks were replaced by the girls questioning one another what they should be wearing or how long they had to prepare and if they could borrow someone else’s clothing. 

     - You girls go, we’ll leave in an hour. I’ll wait here for you.

     - What do you mean? You’re not going dressed like that, right? - Rose looked her father up and down.

     - What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?

     - DAD! It’s a Harry Styles concert! - Cornelia and the other girls started pulling their dad upstairs, while Y/N merely held her laughter. 

He definitely could not say that he did enjoy having his girls move around and decide what he was gonna wear - but he did miss his girls. Daisy was out of the house and dating a person whose name Steve never wanted to hear, Rose was moving out to college soon enough and the triplets were getting closer and closer to college years as well. Even if he did not enjoy having a boa thrown around him, these were the moments we was gonna miss. Y/N, on the other hand was finishing cleaning the dishes, with Aaron against her side and William holding her leg. 

     - MUM! WE’RE GOING! DAD, COME ON! - Cornelia screamed out from the living room, while Y/N merely got a peak of Steve, dressed in a pink cowboy hat and a boa. 

     - Don’t. - he pointed at his wife. - Not a word. 

     - You are such a softie. - she held in her giggle. - Bring me a keychain, will you?

     - Depends on what I receive when I come back. 

     - We’ll see.

And with that, the girls and Steve were gone for the concert, leaving Y/N with her boys. She had become rather clingy with them lately, they were her last babies and the only ones who still asked for her help; however, tonight William was much more interested in playing games on the new console his grandparents had given him. She sat down in the couch with Aaron, the one year old mostly drifting off to sleep against her chest. 

     - What are you playing, bubba? - she asked her son, whose eyes were concentrated on the TV. 

     - Mario Kart. 

     - Oh ... that looks fun. - Y/N’s experience with video games wasn’t very large, mostly because Johnny wouldn’t let her near his Atari while growing up. - Can I play with you?

     - No, mummy. It’s just for boys. No girls allowed. 

     - Oh, but what if I play for Aaron? 

William stopped the game, thinking for a second before reaching to grab a controller for his mum. Y/N placed Aaron safely against the pillows of the couch, before sitting down on the floor of the living room as the 9 year old began to explain to his mum how the game worked. After a few rounds, he too had fallen asleep against the couch. She smiled to herself, pulling a blanket over the two boys before going to the kitchen to grab herself a cup of coffee. Everything seemed great in that moment.

1.16.2024

i've been quite unproductive since last friday. i've tried to give myself a proper rest from my coursework so that i can be mentally refreshed for the last home stretch of the bootcamp. i started messing with figma last friday and wow that's a whole new world i entered lol. i'm feeling kinda emo, so bare with me:

when i used to work as a teacher, admin would constantly ask us what our "why" was to keep yourself motivated throughout the struggles (which were too much and too often lol). tonight i remembered my little brother has 6 years before he goes off to college. which means i have 6 years to ensure i have some type of college fund ready for him so that he won't have to go thru college the way i did. not sure how i'm gonna do that with a part-time. not sure how i'm gonna do that with my own student loans to pay off.

but also my bf made me realize i don't have a "why" that is purely for my own benefit. it all somehow leads back to my little brother's wellbeing. i'm not sure if my parents have even started preparing for him going to college, and i also shouldn't have to assign myself this responsibility-- but if not me then literally who?

sometimes i feel sad that i have to parent my sibling (and let's be honest, a veces mis papas tambien), and i'm also exhausted from grinding thru a biochem degree, working at a school that physically and mentally drained me, and now restarting my career. but the grind doesn't stop, especially not for immigrant women, and even less for women in tech (and girl don't even get me started about devs tryna get a job in this economy omfg the LAYOFFS.) sometimes i wish the world would just pause so i can catch up. i'm always catching up!! what's that one greek mythology and/or philosophical figure dude that was cursed to indefinitely push a boulder up a hill? im him fr.

but fuck it we ball!!! a pesar de todo, seguimos adelante. "echale ganas, mija". ahuevo, ma.

[supermarine-silvally]

hey!! oc bingo buddy! uh! oc bingo questions time B) From me @mshrom

1) Does Iryna have a favorite teacher at UA? A mentor even?

2) What did Iryna first think of everyone in her class? Good first impressions? Bad first impressions?

3) What are her favorite subjects in school?

4) Did she always want to be a hero or did she grow up with other ambitions?

5) What’s her family like?

hiiiii omg these are great questions!!! I'll literally jump on any chance to talk about Miss Iryna Oleksandrivna Kovalenko heheh answers below the cut!

1) Does Iryna have a favorite teacher at UA? A mentor even?

Her favourite teacher is definitely All Might. She was absolutely starstruck the first time she saw him in person and could barely get a coherent sentence out (but after having dealt with Izuku for over a year at this point he’s probably used to that hahaha). She’s also very fond of her homeroom teacher, Thirteen.

She does indeed also have a mentor— The year she entered UA was the year after the canon protagonists did (she’s a year younger), and at that point, in my canon, the UA staff decided to try something a little different and put together a mentorship program for the first- and second-year students. Each of the canon protagonists (who had now moved up to 2-A) was assigned to mentor one of the incoming first-years (my batch of 20 OCs, Iryna included) based on quirk similarity and personal compatibility, and the teams of two would end up competing in what became essentially a doubles tournament for the Sports Festival.

Poor Iryna got stuck with the demon coach from hell— Bakugou Katsuki himself. (He actually ends up being a really good mentor, though).

2) What did Iryna first think of everyone in her class? Good first impressions? Bad first impressions?

(I should quickly specify that all of her classmates are other OCs!) She was so nervous at first that she mostly worried about what THEY thought of HER, especially being not just foreign, but the first student from Eastern Europe that the school’s ever had. Most of them left good first impressions, though. She recognized Monoma Nagito (Neito’s brother) and Iida Tenshi (Tenya’s cousin) from the entrance exam, and they quickly became her closest friends in the class, but she soon befriended the others as well. I think her only classmate that she isn’t always too fond of is Atsushi Ren, who is kind of known to be a bit of a braggart and a loudmouth and she sometimes just wants to tell him to shut the hell up lol

The main person she met at UA whom she had a TERRIBLE first impression of was Bakugou haha when they were first paired together for the mentorship program, he acted like she was the most annoying pest of all time and some kind of cosmic punishment designed to torment him specifically, and she thought he was the world’s biggest asshole and also wanted nothing to do with him (she legit haaaaated this dude so much, it's so funny to go back and read earlier chapters of Ground Zero when they were very much not getting along lol). But they eventually worked it out and became very fond of each other :)

3) What are her favorite subjects in school?

Hero Studies will always be her number 1 class, she love love looooooooves it! Whether it’s rescue/disaster training, developing her quirk/ultimate moves, or just general sparring with her classmates, she’s all over it. Outside of hero-related coursework, she’s pretty good at Chemistry and Physics (but hates Biology with a burning passion) and is decent at math, too. She tends to do well at science-y stuff, the Biology hatred is more over having to memorize terms and always getting them mixed up, especially since she’s trying to learn them in her second language.

4) Did she always want to be a hero or did she grow up with other ambitions?

She definitely always knew she wanted to be a Pro Hero! Hero culture in Ukraine is quite different and a lot more low-key than in Japan, but she grew up watching the few Ukrainian Pro Heroes that were around as well as Japanese and American and other Western heroes on TV and wanted to be just like them— especially All Might, because he was the strongest and the best, but more importantly, because he kept the peace, and that was something she desperately hopes to emulate. When her quirk manifested, she realized she had the potential to be just like him if she worked and studied hard, and as such set her sights on attending the same prestigious hero academy her mother once did.

5) What’s her family like?

Her family is very close! She currently lives (while not attending UA) in the small town of Letychiv with her father, Oleksandr (Sasha), her younger brother, Mykyta, and her grandmother, Stanislava, as well as the family’s pet chickens. Iryna is extremely protective of Mykyta, since he’s six years younger and also quirkless, and would literally do anything for him. Her father and grandmother are super supportive of her having moved to Japan temporarily to attend UA, and she frequently chats with them over video call. She misses them a lot, despite the exciting life she has in Japan.

Iryna’s mother, Reina, is another story. When Iryna was only eight, her mother went back to Japan on what was supposed to be a quick trip, and never returned. No one knows what happened to her, either— not the Japanese police who investigated the incident, nor any Pro Heroes (including All Might) who took on the case, nor Iryna’s family in general. It was like she simply vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. Iryna’s grandmother is certain that Reina left and abandoned her partner and children, but Iryna isn’t so sure. Part of the reason behind her relocation to Japan to attend UA is to see if she can pick up the trail and finally learn what truly happened to Igarashi Reina seven years earlier.

tysm for the questions, they were so much fun to answer!! :D

August 21th, 2023

2231L

Temp 83° Kinda windy

Saddlebunch Keys, FL

Another decently late entry. Well honestly as long as I get some words down that's sufficient for me. Let's see. Yesterday I was able to play Call of duty with Danny and I was able to explain to him the predicament and I was in pertaining to my leave. I love that dude so much, he literally was so supportive and understanding which made me feel kind of worse that I threatened our trip because of the stupid navy. It's really good to hear his voice, and just feel like a normal person again. We call it quits near midnight because I had to wake up this morning at like 6:00 in the morning to get my affairs in order. Had a flight today at 8:00 a.m. so I woke up super early pack some clothes for the gym and did a little bit of cleaning and brought out the trash because once I left my house for the day I wouldn't be coming back until now at 10:30 p.m.. I stopped at baby's coffee. Got myself a little cafe con leche, I don't care if that is considered breaking my fast because that would be literally the only thing that I've eaten all day and it's not even food. Was able to talk to my pops for a little bit on the way to the airport so that was cool. To be honest, I can't really remember if there was anything of significance in that conversation besides for me retelling the story of why my leave had to be canceled so I can train. Flying was good. I feel like I can never complain about flying because I love it so much but my landings do suck. I got a new instructor today and she was very by the book and informative which is what I needed and why I didn't want my last instructor. She was very confidence instilling and I think I landed one and a half times by myself. I have the option to fly the Skyhawk but I really do like the Cherokees. There's something about the lobing aircraft and the design that feels good. Maybe it reminds me of some old navy trainers or something. I took a picture of the interior while I was doing my pre-flight checklist and it reminded me of the interior of a 1998 Honda Civic. So I just did my whole PreFlight with Bad Bunny playing. After flying I drove straight to the gym to meet up with my gym partner. We hit chest pretty hard. I got a serious pump and I was able to sit in the sauna for 45 minutes while fasted. That felt like a challenge on its own. Right now I'm sitting here fantasizing about Popeyes because they just opened up the restaurant down here and my buddy is sending me pictures of him buying it and getting it because he knows I'm fasting. I could really go for some good chicken or a chicken sandwich or mac and cheese, Jesus. Work was boring. I started ground, I feel like I can get it within 2 weeks but also I feel like it's a very steep uphill battle. Not to mention, I have to finish all of my coursework for these two classes by August 31st. Fun times. It's really pedal to the metal here. I have such a short period of time left to get these things done before a bunch of timelines end so it's high stress. All right. Well, the dog is waiting for me at the steps. There's really not much to talk about today, I feel like I am really close to the edge offending this fast, but I really want to last a lot longer so I'm kind of disappointed by myself for feeling this week mentally. I'm going inside. Have a good night.

this mfer be having a whole conversation with the teacher the whole class over the dumbest shit bro this is a U.S. history class starting from 1877 what could you be confused about. The whole coursework begins at reconstruction. I should be allowed to slap this dude for wasting all our time
