“Can you take anything seriously?” 

“I’m very serious about not being serious.” 

Rory leans against her desk, putting her hands in her face and groaning. “Matthew, I swear to god, if you make me do this entire accreditation thing by myself, I’m throwing you out the window.”

“Don’t threaten me with a good time.” Rory glares at him, Matthew’s feet up on one of her classroom desks, throwing a rubber ball he brought from his room in the air. His computer wasn’t even open, despite the fact that everything they needed to do was online. “Relax, this doesn’t even have to be done until next year.”

“No,” Rory says, getting up from her desk and slowly walking towards him, trying not to make any sudden movements like a wildlife photographer trying to get a shot. “We need to have all the documents together so the accreditors can spend the next year going through everything.” She snatches the ball from him mid air, pushing his feet off the desk with her other hand while ignoring her protests.

“Why do we need to be accredited, anyway?”

Rory sits down, letting out another long groan. “It proves we’re a legitimate academic institution so that parents keep sending their kids here and we can keep our jobs.”

Matthew laughs, leaning back in his chair. “I’ve got fall backs.” 

“Like what?” she snaps, trying to comb through the Google Drive they were supposed to both be looking at.

“I could be a hockey player.”

Rory laughs, trying to stop once she sees the offense Matthew felt flash across his face. “Sorry, yeah ok, you could totally be a hockey player.” 

“Aren’t you supposed to be encouraging people's dreams?”

“I encourage my student’s dreams all the time.” They sit in silence, both of them staring at each other for a moment too long before Rory looks away, telling herself the smile forming on his lips was just her imagination. “Can you please open your computer and help me pick out a good test from the department?”

Matthew listens, but not without making a big deal of it. “Why does it have to be a test? The accreditors want an assessment.”

“Tests are assessments.” 

“Projects are also assessments.” 

Rory stares at him, knowing that what he was saying was true, despite her refusal to give him the satisfaction of being right. “Ok, then, do we have any good projects?” 

“I have my Netflix project.” Rory stares at him again, having no idea what he was talking about. “I give my students this template,” he starts, sending her a link. “They’re assigned one of the major events we talked about during the unit. You know how on Netflix or Hulu, they have a screenshot and a summary under each episode? They have to do that in order to describe the major themes and the timeline of the event itself. It helps them see chronologically what happened, and gives me an idea as to whether or not they can be assessed on it later, or if I need to go back and help them with it.” 

Rory’s mouth falls open. “Why didn’t you put that in the drive?”

“I did. You just aren’t the project type of teacher.” 

“Hey,” she tries to counter.

“Look, Rory, all the students know that you are a test teacher, not a project teacher. I mean, I don’t blame you, tests are easier to grade, but projects are more fun to have the students do to get them engaged with the material.” 

Rory clenched her jaw. “Tests are what I was taught to give as the cumulative assessment. Projects are fine, but that doesn’t cover everything.”

“There are ways to give projects that cover everything.”

“Can we just get through this so we can go home?” Rory snaps.

Matthew holds his hands up in surrender, a smirk on his face that sent a wave of rage through her. She knew the students loved him. He was the ‘fun teacher,’ the one that all the students wanted to have. 

But she was a good teacher. Her students got great scores on their AP tests, and her students did better on the final they both had to give at the end of the year for the class they shared. She didn’t need to be fun to get her students to learn.

“There’s nothing wrong with doing things the way they were when we were in school,” she says, begrudgingly dragging his Netflix project into their accreditation folder. 

“Did you like school?”

Rory stares at him again. Why was he asking so many questions that caught her off guard? She was so good at anticipating all of her students' questions, so why couldn’t she do the same with his? “Yes.”

“You enjoyed studying for test after quiz and doing homework sheet after reading?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I hated it.” The two of them sat there for a moment, the only sound coming from Rory’s clicking around in the drive. “It wasn’t creative enough. That’s why I give the projects. Students like when you break from what we did or what their parents did because they aren’t their parents, and they definitely aren’t us.” 

“That’s for sure,” Rory mutters, taking a drink from her water bottle that had been sitting on her desk.

“Yeah,” Matthew shrugs, standing up from the desk with his laptop still open in his hands. “The students are able to recognize tension between people.”

Rory takes a moment to realize what he means. “We do not have tension,” she lies. 

“We do,” he winks, Rory trying to hide the chill she suddenly felt. “I’m just waiting for you to let it break.”

voltron nhl au ✰ .ᐟ by me and @cvrsedly

this is a combination of our joint ongoing obsession with vld and my bestie's hockey brainrot. the team allocation is based off vibes and location and not on paladin colours (rip pidge). close ups of the players below:

[thejaytapes]

As deadly as he is charming, Panther Caroso is a deadly mercenary and serial flirt. If he's not shooting his shot with you romantically, it's probably because he's shooting you dead.

After kicking Pigma and Andrew out of Team Star Wolf, Leon recalls Panther's skills as a pilot and suggests him as a new member to the team. Before working for Star Wolf, Leon and Panther had been hired together several times to take on the most dangerous missions. Leon knew he would be a reliable replacement compared to his predecessors. Even if he can be easily distracted by a pretty face of any gender...

finally giving fem danyal her own au and fulfilling my 'danny is an animal whisperer' agenda at the same time: mother of monsters danyal 2.0

i say "2.0" because TECHNICALLY 'mother of monsters danyal' is an au I made back in June for Dark fem!Danyal (who I promptly named Layal). However, I haven't posted much for her yet, and I like the "mother of monsters" premise too much to leave it only to Layal. Plus Danyal in that au was going to become the mother of monsters anyway, just with significantly less world domination and mass extinction.

'Animal whisperer' Danny has been something I've been thinking about since my latest DP 'wolfpack au' post and it's! So fun to think about, and who no better to assign the idea to than Danyal Al Ghul? Who comes from a family infamously known for their love of animals and nature?

Fem Danyal is just purely self-indulgent. *gestures wildly at her* i just lomvb,,, her,,,, I've only really mentioned her in context of the 'Things in Threes' au/my first Danyal al Ghul au with the facial scar, but she's!!! I love her. She deserves her own au <33

So kill three birds with one stone! Make a post about it.

Anyways, Danny has a large lair. Similar to cult leader danyal, her lair is a giant mountain region resembling nanda parbat with a big temple/palace-like area built into the mountain. It's large, it's overflowing with natural flora, with its own mini-floating islands hovering over some areas, and it's also completely empty.

Danny takes one look at her lair upon first meeting, -- noting that it looked relatively smaller from the outside -- and promptly, with the elegance of an Al Ghul, goes "What the hell??" Because yes, while she does enjoy her own solitude and privacy, this is a bit ridiculous.

For heaven's sake, there's even a massive lake in there! What's she going to do with all this space? Can she make it any smaller? Why is it so big in the first place? This looks borderline like one of the mega-islands!

She finds out later that apparently, the amount of ectoplasm a ghost has can have an effect on the size of their lair. And since she has such a large core, her lair reflects that. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, it's bigger on the inside so it doesn't take up "too much space" on the outside. Don't worry about it too much.

Danyal isn't totally opposed to having such a large lair, she's just... a bit baffled by it. It feels like so much wasted space is all. All this flora and no fauna to enjoy it with. It's practically eerie.

She decorates her temple-palace area, transforming rooms to match her needs as she sees fit. In the center of the inner gardens is a massive tree that she likes to climb, with twisting, winding branches. Sam and Tucker have honorary rooms, even if they can't safely leave the specter speeder for long periods of time, even with proper safety equipment. So does Jazz. Ali (Dani) has one too, but he can actually use that one, and Danny brought him to her lair so he could decorate it himself.

She has a personal garden, but for the most part she lets the flora exist as it is. Too much space to cultivate it en masse anyways.

Skip to a few weeks later, on her next visit to Clockwork. She developed a habit of going to see him semi-regularly just because. She enjoys his wisdom, and he has a lot of stories to tell, and when he's not being the cryptic and esoteric timekeeper, he's a bit goofy.

(pushing my dadwork agenda here,,, i think Danny deserves to go 'hey, Lord Clockwork, do you want me to buy you something' while she's at walmart, only to receive a singular glowing sticky note that says 'cucumber gatorade'.)

(She insists on referring to him with his proper titles even for the most mundane of things because it's proper, but Clockwork sees a future where she eventually calls him "Cee" and by all things in existence is he determined to get there. Anyways,,,)

On her next visit to Clockwork, just as she is about to leave, Clockwork stops her and goes; "Ah, I have something for you. Hold out your hands."

Danny does as such, and Clockwork doesn't give out things often, so her curiosity has spiked to the highest levels. He turns away from her for a moment, using his staff to summon whatever it is he needs, and when he turns around.

He drops a fish into her hands. Granted, a fish in a small glass tank. But a fish nonetheless. A small one, roughly about the size of her finger, with a blue-black, eel-shaped body and four sets of glowing eyes. She can see thin, almost translucent, but spiny fins down its back and the start of bioluminescent markings. It's swimming around in circles in its small container.

"Lord Clockwork." Danyal says all too calmly.

"Yes, Danyal?"

"What is this?"

"That is an adolescent leviathan, Danyal." She’s transfixed onto the tank, but she doesn’t need to see Clockwork’s face to hear the smile he’s stifling.

The myriad of emotions that runs through her all at once threatens to overwhelm her, and she can’t tell if the feelings are negative or positive. So she carefully closes her eyes to breathe in through her nose.

“Clockwork.”

“Ah, I see you’ve dropped formalities.”

She ignores that.

“Why have you given me an adolescent leviathan?”

She's expecting the trickster to look amused when she opens her eyes. Instead, he just looks endeared. "I know you're fond of animals," he says, "and you always look amazed when you come across an animal of the realms. So I thought you might enjoy taking care of the young beast, it's mother is dead so it has no one to care for it."

Oh.

"But, if you don't like it," Clockwork's hands reach out for the tank, "I can simply take it back--"

Danyal shifts the tank out from his reach and hugs it possessively. "I never said that. How do I care for it?"

And so clockwork gives her a list, and when Danyal returns to her lair, she sets up a large tank in her room for the leviathan to swim in -- it's much too small for the lake right now, she thinks. She'll feel better if it's somewhere she can find it. She names him Suhā.

Suhā grows quickly, and by the end of the mortal month she transforms one of the rooms into a large pond for him to swim around in. He's a very loyal beast, recognizing her as it's mother of some kind. Danyal takes great care ensuring that her beastie gets quality care, and Suhā swims to the surface to see her when he senses her in the room.

It spirals from there. Somehow, Pandora catches wind that Clockwork gave her a leviathan, and so the next time Danyal visits the Greater Athens, she gives her a baby chimera. It's eyes are still sealed shut, Danyal can't bring herself to say no. She names the little beastie Firas.

Frostbite hears about it too, and not to be outdone, gives her an animal she's never even heard of. Infinite-realms born, apparently. A fox-like creature with two small horns like an impala, four eyes, and tall legs. The name isn't something she's quite sure how to write down, and she's positive that her friends won't be able to comprehend it. She names her Eira.

Getting the three of them used to each other was... interesting. Suhā tried to eat Firas when Danyal first introduced the two, and they've hated each other ever since. Firas and Eira are seemingly getting along. Her island already feels full enough with the three of them on it.

Of course, that's not the end of it. With her luck, she begins stumbling across other monsters. Realms-borne or otherwise. An injured hydra in the Grecian islands that, through lots of trial and error, Danyal is able to rehabilitate and heal. It routinely comes to visit her afterwards.

A griffin with a broken wing that she moves permanently to the island that likes to keep to itself, but tends to come down when she's near. It gets along best with Firas.

A panther-like monster from the Shades Woods that had six legs and three tails, with ends that reminded her of a venus flytrap. It stuck around the heavy foliage and she can only make out where it was when she saw its golden eyes reflect.

She befriends a young indrik with its leg injured, and much like the hydra it follows her back to her island, and stays there in the mountains. It comes out when she's alone, much like her other beasts.

She receives two more leviathan -- one from clockwork, and one she finds herself while exploring the deeper and darker recesses of the Ghost Zone. It was huddled against the carcass of its mother, and she managed to befriend and get close enough to it to bring it back to her island. Suhā is fully grown by then, with a head bigger than Danyal herself and he still likes to stick her head out of the water for nuzzles when she's near.

He's not very happy with his new siblings, but he's not trying to eat them when she's not looking. So she calls it a win in her book.

And it's not just large beasts either; smaller animals begin popping up when she's not looking. Bird-like creatures and small mammals, and she swears she saw a doe (or something resembling a doe) grazing in the forest while she was walking by.

She takes back with her a lone snake egg once, and it grows so big it wraps around her island and sleeps with its massive head on the mountain beside the temple, like some smaller breed of Jörmungandr.

And on and on it goes. Some of the beasts she comes across never step foot onto her island, some of them follow her back, while others she has to carry back. Not all of the ones that follow her stay, and Danny rehabilitates the injured and releases them when they're fully healed.

It's hectic, and busy, and frankly she loves it. Some of her rehabilitated beasts return to visit her, or to have their children somewhere on the island, or whatever it is they need to do.

She becomes a bit infamous for it. She goes to visit Dorathea once, and as she's walking through the streets she can hear some of the denizens whispering while she walks past.

"Is that her?"

"Her highness' friend? Yes--"

"--that's the one--"

"--Mother of monsters--"

Danny's not sure how to feel about that.

Although, she can't say she's opposed.

Danyal Al Ghul, Mother of monsters, raiser of beasts. It has a nice ring to it.

Randomly coming in to say I love your bear Price and panther Ghost and hope they get more naps and love. <3

hehe thank you! here's a small panther Ghost wondering into Price's fur for some naps <3

Bonus MEAAAW

[sea-lanterns]

Imagine Orca! Yelan and Panther! Arlecchino fighting over the vet, only for them to silently agree on sharing her because they both like the way she trembles when they get possessive over her.

Oh to be shared between two powerful women who could smite me in an instant if they desired

Vet Reader coming to feed Yelan by the sea and finding that Arlecchino had followed her as well, making her feel vulnerable because now she had two apex predators eying her up like she’s food.

I imagine that Yelan and Arlecchino’s first meeting is similar to Furina and Lynette’s first meeting (except Arlecchino doesn’t bap Yelan on the nose) so Arlecchino just peeks over the edge of the water and watches as Yelan stares back at her with the same amount of interest. They seem to be silently communicating something to each other, but the Vet can’t exactly tell because they’re both such stoic women. Nevertheless, the tension is clear, yet being the mature adults they are, they nod in agreement for something that the Vet doesn’t know about…

Despite seeing each other as mate rivals, they both silently communicate that they enjoy “scaring” their dearest Vet, so expect to find yourself being circled on both land and water, as both women are keen on making you tremble out of fear and something else <3

i do not personally watch the panthers, the flames, or the oilers, but the one thing i have learned from approximately one week of reading mattdrai fic is that leon is the palace knight on a quest to trace down this rare artifact who gets set up by a guy he has a one night stand with who manages to follow him covertly and steal the artifact out from right under his nose, leaving him to certain death at the hands of booby traps various, only for leon to survive and have to chase him down, catching up to and running into him in many silly and perilous scenarios where matthew (the thief, obviously) keeps accidentally falling into his arms and saying, “we have got to stop running into each other like this”
