Random Facts about Doctor Who You Might Not Know, Part 74

Putting this here now because I forgot it was in my drafts

After fixing an office printer, the Sixth Doctor told a Constable to try being nicer to to it next time as he had hurt the printer's (she/her) feelings. The Doctor also rejigged her parameters to sing in 15 languages, and the Constable was urged to attend the printer's concerts. (Audio: The Hunting Ground)

The Soothsayer of the Lupari said that the Doctor had forgotten the Lupari before and would have many encounters with them. The Fourth Doctor hadn't wanted to hear about his future. (Audio: The Dying Breed)

At Henrik's in 1948, Polly saw a tin of beans for the first time and lost her toy bear. When they landed nearby, she and Ben went looking for her bear while the Doctor got involved with talking to entities imprisoned within the tins of beans. The bean tins were able to stop time for everyone but the Doctor, Ben, and Polly. Since there were two Pollies there, both were not frozen. (Audio: Lost and Found)

The Eighth Doctor once got stuck in a time loop where he was killed over and over again by Alcestis in a very Prometheus-like fashion. (Novel: Fallen Gods) (Highly recommend this to those who like to see the Eighth Doctor in pain.)

The War Master once posed as a provost at the Braxiatel University. (Audio: The War Master)

One time when the Second Doctor was talking about George III and George VI, Jamie realized that he and Zoe's history were full of many Georges, meanwhile he had been fighting George II. He wondered why history was full of these Georges; where were the McCrimmons? (Audio: The British Invasion)

Eighth Man Bound has been described as a game only the "neonates" of the Time Lord Academy. These students have been imprinted with the codes needed to allow them safe passage through the vortex but has not endured the decades long "rituals of graduation." (Novel: Christmas on a Rationale Planet)

One time, Litefoot recalled that the last time he had seen the Doctor was when they had been in an incident involving the Decayed Master. He had called the Master his friend, to which the Doctor had instead claimed the Master was his archenemy, his archfrienemy. (Audio: The Jago & Litefoot Revival)

In year 50 of the Academy, the Doctor fed a snapping wart fowl with Valyes's summer produce. The Eighth Doctor did not want Valyes to find out because he would "go spare." (Audio: The Next Life)

Tatiana Kregki was a WW2 Soviet Air Force fighter pilot and Night Witch. She was an exact physical doppelganger of Polly Wright. (Audio: The Night Witches)

Edward Marlow looked remarkably like the Eighth Doctor (Audio: Other Lives)

Similarly, Peri looks remarkably like Queen Anne. (Audio: The Church and the Crown) (DW really likes this trope, huh?)

Sissinghurst was a teacher accused of being a witch. She referred to the Sixth Doctor as "Valeyard." After the Doctor stopped the Carrionites, she died. (Audio: The Carrionite Curse)

Iris Wildthyme produced Suitors at her factory called Wildthyme Unlimited. The Suitors were robots designed to look exactly like either the Fourth or Third Doctors. The Fourth Doctor, Romana II, and K-9 Mark II. Harry Sullivan and Sarah Jane Smith also investigated and met up with the Doctor there. (Short story: Suitors, Inc.)

"Gallifrey" means "they who walk in the shadows." (Novel: SLEEPY, The Pit)

so i saw the wicked movie!

honestly considerably better than i would have expected from the trailers, it was clearly made with love and i do recommend seeing it if you're a fan of the stage show

but if there's one thing i'm a bit sad about, it's glinda's wardrobe colours

like. the costuming in this movie is amazing! and i have no criticisms about the design of glinda's outfits, they're really good!

but they're all pink

and i care a lot about the thought that went into the costuming of wicked (particularly how important blue is as a colour here), so for those unfamiliar with her original outfits, lets go on a tour of them!

in chronological order for glinda, we start with the school uniform

notably not pink, but white. blue and white are shiz's colours, so she's not actually breaking any uniform rules (this will be important later), but she does want to stand out. this also contrasts elphaba's entirely blue uniform (all the other students wear stripes), and the fact that every other elphie outfit is black, because they are and always will be diametrically opposed

she keeps this one through a lot of the first act, until around popular, which is when we get her actually pink dress! and this is glinda actually being honest for the first time, so it makes sense this is the most accurate to her personality dress she gets (and i did love the extremely dramatic dressing gown she got in the movie here)

glinda in the emerald city gets a yellow dress and sunglasses! and honestly while there's not a lot of symbolism in this one it is strange seeing defying gravity not involve the yellow dress (and also i think it would have made that yellow brick road bit have more weight but you know)

now here's where i say that thing about the white will be important later. defying gravity is the act break and the timeskip. and now it's important to note - every single outfit glinda wears in act 2 is blue

and i think for her the blue represents the status quo. she was never an outright rebel in act 1, as we see with her uniform, but she did want to make her personality and choices known, she wanted to forge ahead with something. it's defying gravity where she definitively makes that choice to conform, to pick up that colour she originally had left behind, and to work for power within the system instead of defying the system (elphaba, notably, wears all blue while at school but from one short day onwards always wears black, because that's a status quo she no longer cares to hold up)

act 2 opening with thank goodness, she's a little older, she's got more power, she's a community leader, and her outfit reflects that, in the most business look glinda could possibly have and still look like glinda (i do love this one just from a design standpoint)

her wedding dress isn't just blue but also has a lot of green in it, which is fun on multiple levels (because green is the colour of the wizard, and what madame morrible wears after the reveal they're working together on this, but also was elphaba's from the start)

and her last outfit is also her first outfit, but i told these in order of glinda's life not the song order, because this is the pinnacle of who she's become. this is her dress right at the start before the flashback, and then for for good and finale

it's enormous, it's princessy, it mirrors the dress from the original wizard of oz movie, and it's blue. it's the combination of who she always has been and who she's decided to become. everything she always wanted to be, at the cost of everyone she cared about

and im so curious to see how the movie costuming goes for part 2

OMG… the virtual Angel one was so good I loved how u writer! I never thought I would find someone on here who knows about kpop…. ANYWAYS now that that’s out of the way I was thinking of a bakugou x reader also inspired by a kpop song called Bad Boy by Red Velvet…. If you can pretty please!!!

Ps since you know kiss of life tell me your favorite groups!!!!

he’s a really bad boy <3 (16th August 2024)

Katsuki Bakugou x Reader

Prompt! Y/n, who is the complete opposite of Bakugou ends up in a very complicated dynamic

a/n i actually got addicted to the recommended song virtual angel and been listening to it every day! my top kpop groups are kiss of life, aespa and ive along with an honourable mention of global group katseye!

Y/N wasn’t like most of the other students at U.A. She had a reputation—one she didn’t earn by being the loudest, the strongest, or the most ambitious. No, Y/N earned her reputation by being completely unbothered by the noise around her. She was known for her calm, almost serene demeanor in the face of chaos, something that made her both admired and envied by her classmates.

Bakugou Katsuki, on the other hand, was the opposite—loud, brash, and always ready for a fight. He thrived in chaos, often causing it, and no one in their right mind would try to cross him. Well, almost no one.

From the moment Y/N walked into Class 1-A, she and Bakugou were like fire and ice. He was the explosive force that could light up a room—or burn it down—while she was the cool breeze that effortlessly put out flames without breaking a sweat. She didn’t back down, didn’t flinch, and most importantly, didn’t give him the satisfaction of a reaction when he tried to rile her up.

At first, Bakugou was intrigued by her nonchalance. Then he was frustrated. But eventually, that frustration turned into something else—something more dangerous. Bakugou, the ultimate bad boy, had fallen hard.

It wasn’t that Y/N was doing anything overt to get his attention. She was just doing what she always did—staying calm and collected, making quick work of any challenge thrown her way, and letting Bakugou’s fire burn without letting it consume her. And maybe that’s what made her so irresistible to him. She didn’t need to fight for control because she already had it—effortlessly.

One afternoon, Bakugou found himself cornering her in the training grounds. He was seething with that familiar fire, the kind that usually sent others running. But Y/N didn’t run. She simply crossed her arms, staring up at him with that same, maddeningly composed expression.

“You think you’re better than me, don’t you?” Bakugou growled, his voice low and dangerous.

Y/N raised an eyebrow, not even bothering to uncross her arms. “No. But I think you’re trying too hard to prove something.”

Bakugou’s eyes narrowed. She had a way of cutting through the bullshit, seeing right to the heart of what was really going on. It was infuriating. And maybe a little bit... attractive?

He took a step closer, his voice dropping even lower. “You think you can handle me?”

Y/N didn’t budge, didn’t blink. “I’ve been handling you so far.”

There it was again, that calm confidence that got under his skin in a way that no one else ever had. He wasn’t used to being on the back foot, wasn’t used to someone playing the game better than him. And that’s what this was—a game. One that he was determined to win.

But as Y/N turned on her heel, leaving him standing there in the training grounds, he realized something that made his heart pound in his chest. Maybe this wasn’t a game he could win. Maybe this wasn’t about winning at all. Because for the first time in his life, Bakugou Katsuki found himself wanting something he couldn’t just take. He found himself wanting her.

And the worst part? She knew it.

Y/N wasn’t stupid. She saw the way Bakugou looked at her, the way his eyes lingered a little too long when he thought she wasn’t paying attention. She saw the way he tried to goad her into reacting, to get some kind of rise out of her. But she wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction.

She wasn’t going to give in to his fire. Not when she knew that she could make him burn brighter just by staying cool.

But she couldn’t deny the thrill she got from their interactions, the way her heart beat a little faster when he was near. Maybe she liked playing this game too—liked knowing that she had the ultimate bad boy wrapped around her little finger without even trying.

Because at the end of the day, Y/N wasn’t just unbothered. She was in control. And that, more than anything, made her the most dangerous player in the game.

But even the most controlled people have a breaking point. And as Bakugou continued to push, Y/N began to wonder if she’d finally found hers. Because while she might be able to handle Bakugou, she wasn’t so sure she could handle what he was starting to make her feel.

And that scared her more than anything.

Y/N leaned casually against the wall of the training grounds, her gaze steady as Bakugou stalked toward her, his usual scowl firmly in place. He stopped just a foot away, the air between them crackling with tension.

“Something you need, Bakugou?” Y/N asked, her tone calm and indifferent.

Bakugou’s eyes narrowed. “Why do you always act like nothing gets to you? Like you’re untouchable.”

“Maybe because I am,” Y/N replied, a hint of a smirk on her lips. “Or maybe it’s because I’m not interested in playing your games.”

“You think this is a game?” he growled, stepping closer, his voice low and dangerous. “You’re not scared of me?”

“Why would I be?” Y/N shrugged, unfazed. “You’re all bark, Bakugou.”

His eyes darkened, a slow smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. “You really think you can handle me?”

Y/N didn’t back down, her voice soft but firm. “I’ve been handling you just fine, Bakugou. Question is, can you handle me?”

The training grounds echoed with the sound of rapid footsteps and the crackling of explosions as Y/N and Bakugou clashed in an intense sparring match. Sweat dripped down Bakugou’s forehead as he launched himself at Y/N with a powerful blast, but she moved with the grace of someone who had done this a hundred times before, dodging his attack with ease.

“Too slow, Bakugou,” Y/N taunted, a sly smile playing on her lips.

Bakugou growled, frustration simmering beneath the surface. “Shut up and fight me properly!”

“Gladly.”

Y/N’s movements were fluid, almost effortless, as she weaved through his explosive attacks. With a calculated flick of her wrist, she created a powerful shockwave that sent him staggering back. Before he could recover, she was on him, flipping him to the ground with a swift move that knocked the wind out of him.

Bakugou landed on his back with a grunt, staring up at Y/N as she stood over him, her breathing steady. He scowled, anger flaring in his eyes, but beneath the surface, there was something else—something he wasn’t willing to admit, not even to himself.

She had beaten him, fair and square, and for a split second, he couldn’t help but think that the way she looked, standing victorious above him, was incredibly hot.

“You done yet?” Y/N asked, her voice laced with amusement.

Bakugou clenched his jaw, trying to ignore the strange flutter in his chest. “Not by a long shot.”

“Good,” she said, offering him a hand to help him up. “Because neither am I.”

The 1-A common room was buzzing with chatter as the class gathered for a rare evening of relaxation. Snacks were spread out on the coffee table, and everyone was lounging around, enjoying the break from their usual hectic schedules.

Y/N sat comfortably on the couch, leaning back with a content smile as she watched her classmates banter. Bakugou was sitting on the armrest beside her, arms crossed and a familiar scowl on his face.

“So, Y/N,” Kirishima began, leaning forward with a grin. “How do you deal with Bakugou so well? You’re the only one who doesn’t end up as an explosion target.”

The room erupted in laughter, and Bakugou shot Kirishima a glare. “I’m right here, you know.”

“Exactly,” Kaminari chimed in, smirking. “You guys bicker like an old married couple, and she’s always got you under control. How do you do it, Y/N?”

Y/N raised an eyebrow, her smile widening. “It’s simple, really. I just don’t let him get away with his usual crap. Someone’s gotta keep him in check.”

Bakugou huffed, looking down at her. “Like you could keep me in check, dumbass.”

“Oh, please,” Y/N shot back, rolling her eyes. “You’re all bark and no bite, Bakugou. I just don’t take you seriously when you throw one of your tantrums.”

“Tantrums?!” Bakugou growled, leaning closer, his eyes narrowing. “I don’t throw tantrums, you annoying little—”

“See what I mean?” Y/N interrupted, unbothered. “He’s like an overgrown toddler.”

The class erupted into laughter again, and Bakugou’s scowl deepened. “I swear, you’re the most infuriating person I’ve ever met.”

“And yet,” Y/N said, smirking as she looked up at him, “you’re always hanging around me. Makes me wonder if you secretly like having someone who can actually put up with you.”

Bakugou opened his mouth to retort, but the words caught in his throat. He clenched his jaw, turning his head away with a low grumble. “Tch, whatever.”

The class exchanged knowing looks, nudging each other as they watched the two continue their playful bickering.

“Well,” Mina said with a grin, “you two sure know how to keep things interesting. It’s almost like watching a rom-com.”

“Yeah,” Sero added with a chuckle, “except with more explosions and insults.”

Y/N just shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips as she glanced at Bakugou, who was still grumbling under his breath. “I guess it’s just our dynamic. Wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Falin Revealed in Five Keywords

5 keywords section from the Adventurer's Bible, this is transcribed from the EHScans translation for more info you can check this post. My own notes will be at the end of the post.

1. Family

Due to the mysterious abilities she was born with, Falin was shunned by the other villagers. Cognizant of the role he must serve as village chief, her father got her out of the village by enrolling her into the magic school. Luckily for her, Falin never really noticed the fear and antipathy the other villagers held toward her. Though she understands the anger Laios harbors toward their parents for expelling her from the village, Falin hopes that one day her older brother and their parents will be able to mend the rift between them. She sees her father as someone who is clumsy with his words, and her mother as someone who is prone to bouts of worry.

2. Magic School

Falin enrolled in the magic school* at the age of 10, and ran away from it at the age of 18. Though she views it as the place where she first met Marcille and experienced some enjoyable moments, she also sees it as a place that's too stifling and strict for her liking. Falin's tendency toward wild behavior considered uncouth for young ladies her age and occasional skipping of lectures created an awkward distance between her and the other students, and she never really got used to life at the school.

3. Eyesight

Falin has been nearsighted since she was little, and has a habit of squinting when she's looking at things. Incidentally, being turned into a Chimera improved her eyesight, and she seems to have dropped her habit of squinting.

4. Romance

Though she was betrothed, she had never met her fiancee, and the arrangement was broken off after Falin enrolled in the magic academy. She was quite taken aback when Shuro abruptly asked for her hand in marriage without even having suggested that they begin a relationship first. Although she didn't have any special feelings for him, Falin harbored the thought that she might not have any more people propose to her in the future, so she considered accepting**; at the same time, she worried that accepting would be unfair toward Shuro if she didn't have any feelings for him.

5. Complexion

Falin has beautiful, pale skin, even though she doesn't really go through any particular care routine. She tends to blush bright red very quickly, and experiences some hang-ups about her appearance every time Marcille calls her "cute".

------

*EhScans translates as "magic academy" but since in this blog I always refer to it as "magic school" I changed it to keep consistency.

**Spoilers for post canon but this is revisited in an extra

***In general I'd recommend also reading the official english for this one, I think this version is weirdly worded in some parts but that's also true for the official english in other parts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (perhaps the original is also weirdly worded or perhaps it's just me)

♡ - THE PLAYER CHARACTER: VANIDA, THE IDOL || THE MONSTER - ♡

An in-depth bullet point list, regarding the lore of my PC

Full government name is Vanida Thompson

Born from an ongoing sexual affair between her mother who was an unnamed sex worker & her father, an infamous underground fighter / thug

Her father & Bailey grew up in the Orphanage together and were childhood friends ( & maybe more ); before her father was arrested for killing her mother when she was only 3yrs of age

Vanida has no idea who her parents are, and her father's connection with Bailey

Originally, was someone very sweet. A bit clumsy in her execution, but was someone very earnest and determined. Never wanted to exclude anyone and tried becoming friends with everyone.

Had a big baby crush on Sydney that helped her power through horrors ( unknown to Sydney who was still in the closet ), but also made her spiral more when things kept getting worse ( "An angel like her would never date someone filthy like me." )

Thought Avery was into her at first, and was very excited about being noticed by her until she realized that Avery bought her from Bailey

Used to work vigorously at the Cafe until she passed out, got recommended for therapy by Harper. Never went to a single appointment because she kept forgetting due to work. She never misses a single payment!!

Lost her virginity to the nun at the Temple when she was trying to get lichen for the Science Fair. Now, she hates the Temple with a burning passion and thinks they are the worst

Kept getting assaulted so much, that she succumbed for a bit; becoming a sex worker at the Brothel since "might as well make money off of it"

Went through a 2 year phase of anger and apathy. Would let anyone date her, or sleep with her. ( Which HC Whitney then dated after; cause we love gay girls who try to be close with the girl they like by taking their 'things' )

Her relationship with Whitney started the night they had one night stand at the Pub, when Vanida was trying to score clients. Got claimed as Whitney's girlfriend the next day. She didn't think Whitney was serious about their relationship until Whitney showed up to the Orphanage and pulled a gun on Bailey in the winter of their third high school year. ( Vanida also earned a gun kink )

Is now Whitney's number 1 ride or die. Wanting to please her so much, while also wanting to take a page from her book on riding the chaos, that Vanida changed her whole look & personality ( sorta ) (( this is how we got Vanida of today ))

Presents herself now as someone very chatty & sociable. Charming and almost ditzy-like with how she giggles and smiles to make people like her. She still is writhing and rolling around in her hatred and anger under her mask. She hates, or resents, almost everyone. Has become someone extremely mean-spirited.

Decided to use her body for something more productive, and that's by using her sex to have almost the entire town at her beck & call. Most will do anything to just have a chance with her, and Vanida takes full abuse of it. Her demonic transformation really helps with this.

Sees all relationships as transactional & only develops bonds that she thinks will provide use for her ( either socially, or protection ). As a result, it is almost near impossible for Vanida to cultivate a normal, healthy bond with others that is genuine.

The only ones she has a semi-normal bond is Bailey and Niki, because they both are upfront with their intentions with her, and don't seek her out sexually.

HC that she gets into a lot of yelling fights with Bailey, resulting in getting her ass beat by him. It's how they father-daughter bond

Loves going to 'parties' with Avery, because the more secrets she knows, the more she can use them for her own benefit. Knowledge is power ♡

A top student, with big popularity. The town calls her Venus, the criminal underground call her Sabre

A hedonist

The Underground Farm has tried kidnapping her, but she always manages to escape somehow. Remy just admit you're obsessed with her-/j

Her end goal is to have total control of the entire town for the sole reason to humiliate everyone in power for letting a "slut" have power over them. Bailey is somehow spared in this plan because Vanida has a soft spot for him, because he was the only person to check on her when she'd crash out in early gameplay. Even if all he did was yell at her.

And that's all ( i think ) regarding Vanida, my PC! Thank you for reading! ♡

[localgremlinboy]

I have been sitting on these for a long time because I wanted to have some more varied stuff but I haven't had time to write anything! So here's what I've got! Honestly these are some of my favorites

[part 1] [part 2] [part 3] [part 4] [part 5] [part 6]

- Whenever he's kicked out of an area or event, Oswald proceeds to start shoving anything not taped down into his pockets. He doesn't need the stuff, he just likes to be petty and ruin it for everyone else

- Bane has done a series of infomercials for various products & services that only air on late night product channels. Alfred is the only batfamily member who knows, he was doing laundry late one night and nearly lost it

- Mr Freeze writes restaurants/companies when they wrong him. Like nice formal letters, signing them and everything

- The Joker has an imdb page. Actually a lot of the villains do but like the Joker has one he updates with fun facts. Who says they're accurate but they sure are fun

- Riddler freaking hates puppets. Their soulless eyes say it all. He refuses to or "work" with puppets. That being said, Scarecrow has chased him around with Scarface once or twice "for science"

- Scarecrow has and still does write letters of recommendation for his ex students. He freaking still has Gotham University letterhead paper and everything. Honestly some of his students have gotten the job from his letter alone (maybe it's out of fear but like it's still a win), and they 100% send Jonathan thank you gifts in Arkham. He's got one of those dorky teacher scrapbooks where he keeps the thank you letters. One of his students even crocheted him a little plush scarecrow. It's like, they don't love his crimes but you know that was ol kooky professor Crane for ya

- Harvey kind of has a soft spot for sitcoms, he used to watch them with his mom growing up. One of their favorites, ironically, was night court

- Bane has a famous chili recipe and he makes one batch a year. It's fucking delicious! He makes an edition with meat and a vegetarian version too. Of course consults Ivy for home grown excellent quality vegetables and she gets first dibs in return

- the Joker has not one but TWO released albums. One is essentially a mash up of all the serenades he's made Batman listen to over the years and the other one is called "The Holidays with the Joker: Christmas selects edition"

- Scarecrow's car is a mess. He's got a work truck of course but his main car is like a wood panel sedan that he's been driving since he was a professor and refuses to get a new one. It's a fucking mess, he has like clothes, papers, garbage all over the place. He still has term papers he forgot to grade under the seats. Riddler HATES his car, with a passion

- Riddler has gone through the pain and suffering to teach all the rogues how to use discord, he had once hoped it would make their crimes more efficient. They have a group chat but it's mostly suffering on his end as all chaos ensues

- Scarecrow owns a Halloween train village he has set up in one of his lairs. It plays instrumental versions of Halloween songs as it goes around the track

- Joker will push open cups off of tables because he can. He's got the chaotic energy of a cat awake at 3 am

- Riddler and Scarecrow's friendship starts like super formal and co worker like but after like a year and a half, evolves into a weird symbiosis. Jonathan points at random ass objects or books and goes "you" when he's with Edward. Eddie has a habit of fixing or picking debris of Jonathan, usually when they're crimeing. Also one time, they were both startled so bad by Batman that Scarecrow jumped into riddler's arms like Scooby & shaggy, except they both held onto each other for a second before toppling over. Robin then unmasked them like scooby doo

- Harley & Ivy are frequent Panera customers and often get pick up orders there under "codenames" given by Harley. All the workers know who "Plantmamma" and "the quinnanator" are but like they tip great and everyone should get to enjoy soup

- Bane has one CD in his car, it's a 2010 greatest hits CD that someone accidentally left in there. Who you ask? He has no idea

- Harley has a getaway playlist preloaded in her phone for car chases

- Riddler and Scarecrow watch reality tv/game shows together. They binged all of survivor and the amazing race in a year. It was a joke at first but they both got really into the shows. They have both applied to be on amazing race together and unfortunately haven't been called back

- Joker still uses cassettes (and vinyls probably) except he mixes them himself and labels them all stupid titles like "Birthday bash #9", "Baty's mix", "what's the deal with airplane food?", "etc". But he also has a tape recorder and makes notes to himself and labels those ones too, so he gets his personal notes mixed up with his music jams all the time. He goes to put on some epic clown music and instead it's a twenty minute recording he made of himself eating fruit loops

hey, what's your major again?

summary: my credible expert opinion on what the aot characters would study in university. what are my qualifications? the dozens of hours i’ve spent staring at my school’s program bulletin trying to figure out what i’m majoring in

genre | includes: headcanons, sfw, minor language, uninformed percy jackson reference (pls don't hate me if im wrong)

characters: eren jaeger, mikasa ackerman, armin arlert, sasha braus, jean kirschtein, connie springer, historia reiss, ymir, reiner braun, annie leonhardt

author’s note: had this in my drafts for months now. i just need to post it so it stops haunting me. might do the rest of the marleyans and vets in the future! lmk your thoughts, my only tumblr notifications are from p*rn bots, so i'd love to hear from real people lol. enjoy <3

eren: sociology and public policy, 4+1 program for a social work masters

there’s only so many times you can hear “you’re gonna be a doctor just like your dad” before you start to believe it. that’s why eren started out with biology on the premed track. the thing is, he really didn’t care for it. eren is really passionate about lessening equity gaps and is a firm believer in “if you want something done right, do it yourself”. this is why i see him making the switch to a double major in public policy and sociology. he wants to know about how society got to the point of perpetuating disparities so that he can fix them. but he also knows that the government fucking sucks and thinks its naive to expect policy change to be the only method of change. and like the maniac he is, eren is enrolled in a 4+1 program so he can get his master’s in social work when he’s done with his undergrad. he’s determined to graduate with both degrees in just 4 years though. rip his summers.

armin: international relations and military ethics, minor in communications or smth

everyone always says armin would study marine biology or oceanographic studies, but i honestly think that it’s a passion that he pursues on the side. he takes marine bio courses for his breadth requirements, but knows he’d end up hating the ocean if he spent the rest of his life studying it. he also strikes me as someone who would rather run buck naked into traffic than sit through multiple semesters of organic chemistry. armin was always a good public speaker, though, despite being a bit insecure. that’s why his speech and debate teacher during sophomore year of high school recommended model united nations to him. he was hooked after his first conference and now genuinely sees the path of international diplomacy as his calling. that’s why he’s majoring in international relations. his concentration in military ethics is something he tacks on in his junior year after taking some courses and publishing research with dr. erwin smith. he probably minors in communications because he can.

mikasa: forensic science

mikasa had no idea what she wanted to do when she started uni. she’s good at nearly everything. like never gotten a B in her life and is the student who the curve is based off of. but excelling in every environment you’re put in often means you don’t know what you’re best at. she knew deep down that she wanted to do something justice related like her childhood best friends did, but she’s no public speaker and has no interest in political reform. she was, however, emo in high school and heard a fair share of undertaker jokes at her expense. it wouldn’t hurt to look into right? as cool as the title sounds, morticians don’t make enough money for the job they have. fortunately enough, forensic pathologists do and mikasa looks good in a lab coat. she would never admit it to spare armin and eren’s feelings, but when they, as children, recreated the crime-solving shows mrs. jaeger always had on, mikasa always wanted to be the brains. so criminology and forensic science it is. (side note: she definitely joins the military and they pay for her education)

jean: structural engineering and industrial design with a minor in studio art

more than anything, jean wants to provide for his mom and knows he can’t guarantee a retirement of luxury for her as the freelance artist he wishes he could be. he’s decent at math when he tries and doesn’t hate physics, so he decided he’d give structural engineering a try for at least a semester or two. he wasn’t expecting to get much from it, to be honest. he had a plethora of backup plans waiting for his supposedly inevitable distaste for engineering, but he found that he didn’t hate it at all. someone once told jean that he had the makings of a great leader and he didn’t believe them until he started taking the lead on design projects and producing incredible results. his only qualm is that he just doesn’t get to be as creative as he wanted to be. that was easily rectified by an additional major in industrial design and a minor in studio art. he’s unbelievably busy, busier than he anticipated when he started his post-secondary journey, but he’s content and there’s nothing some extra coffee can’t solve. 

sasha: environmental science and sustainability

sasha spent her childhood ankle-deep in mud and fighting her way through forest thickets without a compass. an upbringing like that doesn’t leave your spirit, no matter how far into the city you go for school. so sasha’s always been passively passionate about the environment. that passiveness became significantly more prominent when part of the woods she grew up in was cleared out to build an industrial complex. it was then that she started researching and writing petitions about preserving wildlife and making environmentally conscious decisions. her work actually got her the scholarship she’s on (because god knows it wasn’t her grades). and she genuinely loves what she does, so why wouldn’t she keep learning about it? the environmental science and sustainability program at the school is small, but tight-knit and known for churning out changemakers. sasha knows she’ll be one of them one day. just hide your plastic straws from her, okay?

connie: computer science and chinese

stick with me here okay? everyone expects connie to be a douchebag marketing major whose hardest assignments are graphing functions and making posters on photoshop, but he’s a lot more invested in his education than he looks. don’t get me wrong, connie has always struggled academically, but that’s because so much of early education is pre-determined. he performed way better when he could choose what courses he took. it’s kind of like percy jackson being dyslexic in english because he was wired to read in greek. connie can’t keep his eyes on a history textbook for shit, but will gladly sit in front of the c++ code on his pc for hours. he doesn’t even get mad when he realizes that he was missing a semicolon. connie loves how versatile of a future he could have with a compsci degree, because, let’s be real, he could never survive in a typical office environment. definitely takes a bunch of chinese classes and doesn’t realize that he has enough credits for it to be a minor until his second to last semester.

historia: political science with a minor in international relations and child development

historia is a lot like eren in the sense that she knows her time is best spent doing hands-on work in the fields she cares about. she realizes this sometime after reconnecting with her estranged father and volunteering at the orphanage she grew up in. but now that she’s publicly associated with a powerful political figure, historia doesn’t get to do what she wants, only what is expected of her. that’s how she ends up on the pre-law political science and public policy route. the nickname “ms. president” that connie and sasha give her only further reminds her that she’s heading down a path she never wanted for herself. after lots of encouragement from ymir, historia decided to take child development courses on the side. even if she doesn’t take on the full minor, she’s taking some classes she cares about. maybe she’ll find use for it someday. at the very least, it’s her first step in becoming the most selfish girl in the world.

ymir: data science and business management

ymir is smart. much smarter than she presents herself to be, almost as a form of protection. nobody expects much of someone who is aloof, so it makes it easy to slip through the cracks to remain safe and comfortable in the shadows. business management is notoriously low commitment and easy to skate by with. guaranteed internships, post-graduate employment, and so on. To anyone who doesn’t know ymir well, it’s perfect. but they have her mistaken, ymir will do as little as possible to go as far as possible. sure, she can live comfortably with a business degree, but it could be better with a little bit of data science in her arsenal. she’s intelligent enough to pick up on it, and determined enough to make it her bitch. yeah, academia is a money-sucking pipeline into the capitalist hellscape, she doesn’t believe in it yada yada, but at the end of the day, ymir’s gonna get the bag. so what if she’s gotta sleep through some stats classes to get it?

reiner: behavioral economics

reiner’s mother had convinced him his whole life that getting a high paying job would fix their lives and bring his father back. believing “perfect grades lead to a perfect life” made high school tough for reiner; gifted kid burnout is no joke. it really messed him up. he wasn’t sure if he could withstand the pressures of university, but here he is. reiner was never allowed a therapist, so he figured pursuing psychology would, at the very least, give him some answers and be a good pathway to a medical degree. he loved getting to understand how people work and why they act the way they do, but something was missing. he found out what it was when a guest lecturer spoke in his economics class. he knew making the switch would be risky, it’s a new field and his current career options are really only research, academia, or government, but the interdisciplinary study of behavioral economics is calling reiner’s name. 

annie: biomedical engineering and kinesiology

annie’s entire life revolved around her father, including the injury he was never able to heal from. the one she gave him. he’s claimed to be over it, she’s forgiven, but annie will never feel like she’s earned that forgiveness until she gets rid of the problem entirely. how is she going to do that exactly? with biomedical engineering. she has years of hell in front of her, especially with her concentration on biomechanics, but she doesn’t care. annie will throw herself into her work to get the results she wants. she takes the highest amount of credits possible every semester so she can graduate early. you’ll most likely find her chained to a study cubicle at the library at all hours of the day and running on 2 hours of sleep, but it doesn’t faze her. she tacks on a minor in kinesiology because it makes sense and she had most of the credits for it anyway. and as if it couldn’t get worse, she probably TAs for a thermodynamics course or something crazy like that.

Ted Lasso Severance AU Ideas

Ted Lasso

Closest character correlation with Mark, with some elements of Helly’s mental health decline

Department Head of Macrodata Refinement

His soon-to-be ex-wife Michelle died in a car accident about two years ago, he was offered a job at the London branch of Lumon a few weeks after the accident and he accepted it and moved himself and Henry out to Richmond

Decided to accept the job and get severed because he didn’t want to feel the anxiety and grief caused by Michelle’s passing, and because Beard and Jane could help him take care of Henry

Was a high school football coach that also taught history before he worked for Lumon, Michelle was an AP Lit teacher at the same high school, Ted still regularly gets messages and mail from former students of his and Michelle’s after moving to Richmond

Beard is Ted’s closest friend (they met in college) who moved to England with his girlfriend and now-wife Jane about a year before the accident

Both his innie and his outie struggle with anxiety

His innie suffers from much more severe generalized anxiety as well as suicidal ideation

His outie’s anxiety is much more focused around Henry and his role as a father

Roy Kent

Longest working member of MDR

Used to be a professional footballer but suffered a career-ending injury to his knee about five years ago, started working at Lumon after his girlfriend at the time, Keeley Jones, recommended it to him

Him and Keeley broke up after Keeley decided that she also wanted to get Severed because Roy was throwing a fit because he didn’t like the idea of not knowing if they saw each other at work or not

Gruff and grumpy, hates Jamie with a burning passion

At first just wants to keep his head down and work on the files, but once he’s swayed he’s an unstoppable revolutionary force (closest to Irving but without quite as much Kier-worshipping)

His innie hates Jamie but is also vaguely aware that his feelings for him may border on romantic and/or sexual, also has a crush on Keeley J. from Optics and Design

Jamie Tartt

Youngest member of MDR

Grew up in a poorer community that Lumon funneled a bunch of money into and essentially raised the kids with the intent to make them Severed Lumon workers

Cocky and a little stupid, brags about all of the perks and benefits that he’s won from completing files (kind of like Dylan)

Completely ok with breaking all of Lumon’s rules and regularly pushes the boundaries of every supervisor figure he has had

Has a crush on Keeley from Optics and Design and regularly bitches with Roy about who gets to flirt with her because they both have a crush on her

Constantly jokes about having sex with Roy to which Roy just responds with death threats

Nathan Shelley

Newest member of MDR

The son of the CEO of Lumon, Lloyd Shelley

His outie is cruel and confident, and doesn’t view innies as “people”, also resents his own innie because he feels that it is a manifestation of the “weak” parts of himself

His innie (Nate E.) is extremely timid and has low self-esteem and latches onto Ted pretty soon after arriving

Nathan is the outie, Nate is the innie, essentially Nate is Nate in season 1 and after his redemption arc in season 3, whereas Nathan is Nate during the bulk of season 3

Rebecca Welton

Manager of the Severed Floor at Lumon

Rupert is close with the CEO of Lumon, Lloyd Shelley, and after the divorce she wormed her way into the company and is attempting to burn it down from the inside

Trent Crimm

Principles and Practices Editor, works in the Optics and Design department

Writes most non-scriptural materials for the Severed floor, as well as edits materials sent in from the non-severed floor to make them acceptable for Severed employees

Took a job on the Severed floor at Lumon after he came out to his wife and got a divorce so he could focus entirely on being a father to his daughter, Primrose (Rosie)

His innie has a giant crush on Ted, and his outie also has taken a liking to Ted because he knows him through Beard because his outie helped Beard edit his book

Anyhow that's some of the basic character stuff I have down right now, I'll probably make another post later with some notes on Keeley, Jade, and Beard's roles as well as some general plot notes

Bucky and the Kid Pt.1

This is my first fic on here, and I'm not completely sure how this works. But I am doing my best here.

Summary: A former soldier, haunted by their dark past of being programmed to kill, tries to live quietly with their cat, Alpine. But when a mysterious vigilante reporter catches their attention, they find themselves at a local cafe, where they meet a kid who looks strangely familiar. As they talk, the kid’s smile and demeanor bring back unsettling memories, making the soldier question if their past is catching up with them in unexpected ways.

Warnings: Unexpected child, and the iconic tin man Bucky Barnes

Pt.2 Pt.3

There was another nightmare, another person killed. They didn’t deserve this. Nobody did, not the way they programmed me to kill without thinking. I know it was someone important. Someone who wouldn’t have needed to go unless HYDRA saw them as a threat. 

The morning was slow, and Alpine swatted at the dust in the air. She stopped only to curl up on the couch beside me to read, and eventually, she would start to doze off. I clicked the TV on, scrolling through channels, barely listening to them for a full minute. There were at least five news channels now, which was nice for different types of information, but some didn’t even post helpful news. There was a story that did catch my attention, a vigilante reporter, passing out papers and flyers instead of using the internet. Many people interviewed thought that it sounded like the Eddie Brock Show. And would talk about the different articles they found.

Nyx Articles

After pulling out my phone and doing a quick search, I found barely anything about the person. But there was plenty of their work, forums that held the records of all the papers, and even some rabbit holes about who the person was.

It had been an hour, and Alpine was awake again, ushering out a large yawn and stretch.

“How do you feel about an adventure, huh?” She gave a small chirp and leaped off the couch. Moments later she arrived with a jacket and sat by the door. 

Several people were in the same cafe with laptops, making the IP address difficult to locate. Walking around would help after standing in the corner for two minutes. I walked towards the counter where several pastries and a large chalkboard menu on the wall stood. 

“Can I help you with anything?” A voice asked, not rudely; but definitely with enough force to grab my attention. “If you’d like any recommendations, I really like the mini plum cobblers. And we also have a lot of tea options, or coffee if you like that better.” They continued, I looked down and saw a kid sitting on a stool behind the register. They had what was to be assumed the employee uniform on, and hair back behind a cap. They were looking up at me intently, waiting for a response and I realized I was standing without response for too long. 

“I’ll try that cobbler thing, and just a water,” I told them quickly, fishing out my wallet for some change.

“Alright, that will be $3.72. Unless you have a military, student, or teacher discount.”

“I don’t think you would believe when my service was done, kid.”

“I mean, you don’t have to add it, but if you do, then I just have to check your ID, " they said, not fazed by my response. I pulled a five-dollar bill out and handed it to them.

“Keep the change, kid. Sorry for taking so long over here.” They smiled, pulled out a container filled with the cobbler, and handed it to me, wishing me a nice day. I sat down at one of the empty tables, Alpine taking the opportunity to pop out of the loosely zipped jacket and look up at me. 

“Don’t worry I got something for you,” I told her, opening the lid to the water so she could hydrate. I took out my phone and checked that I had found the correct IP address, when still correct I looked around trying to see if anyone had the same style of paper on their computers. After a while, with the cobbler being gone and Alpine starting to fall asleep again; the kid from the counter came over. Book and cup in their hands.

“Hey, I was wondering if I could sit with you. Most of the tables are filled up and I don’t like having my back to the door on the booths.” They explained, their hat was off, letting albeit familiar-looking styled hair from years ago.

“Yeah, as long as you don’t mind my cat. She gets grumpy when she’s tired.” I told them, offering a chair. They set their stuff down and cooed at Alpine before going to their book with intention. The book was titled ‘The Radium Girls’ and my mind went back to the aftereffects that caused many of those people to have their jaw fall off. I remember it was mainly the rich people who were able to live afterward, affording the treatments and surgeries.

“Sorry if this bothers you. My mom usually picks me up after my shift, but we just got a new kid yesterday and I think it’s gonna be a while before anyone gets here.” They apologized, marking their place in the book and setting it down. They started to pick at their hands, light and dark scabs littering their hands.

“Don’t worry about it, do you want to talk about it? Or is this something that is private?” I asked, turning towards them. They looked lost in thought before breathing a quiet sigh.

“My parents do foster care and adoption, so there is always someone who is going to be coming and going. My parents adopted me when I was I think a toddler, and they were really good at helping people. They still are don’t get me wrong, I just think they forget that they need to also remember that they are people.”

“You sound like you’re close to them.” I tried, after a few beats of silence. They smiled and put their book away, turning towards me.

“I never got your name when you took your order, " they said as if it were an epiphany. 

“James, James Barnes. Though a lot of people call me Bucky.” I told them,

“Nice to meet you, kid.”

“Nice to meet you too Mr. Barnes, I hope I can talk to you again.” They smiled, and then I noticed an all too familiar grin. One I see in the mirror every day when I wake up, and see I don’t look like death. That was my smile, and that was my old hair, and my stare, on a random kid.

⭒˚‧ ︵‿⭒ཐིཋྀ Your life in My Hero Academia for @mysteriawrites ཐིཋྀ⭒‿︵ ‧˚⭒

You've always admired magic and wizards. Playing with a wand all day long, you accidentally transformed a big spider into a cute kitten. This spider was so big and scary, you just wanted to see something cute instead. That's how your quirk appeared for the first time. Your quirk created a furor in pro-hero's community. Even though, you were very young, you got a lot of job offers. Hero's agencies literally fought for you. But you already had a goal to go to U. A. High School. Being one of the students got in U. A. through official recommendations, you attracted a lot of attention of your classmates from 1-A class and of the whole school. But more importantly, you made a lot of new friends and got a boyfriend, who loves you more than you can imagine.

Your Quirk: Magical Girl | Hero Name: Enchantress

Your quirk allows you to transform animate and inanimate objects into whatever you want by your wand. There are a few rules for transformation:

You're able to transform animate objects into animate objects and inanimate objects into inanimate objects. It means that you can't transform a human into a chair or a mug into a frog. But you can transform a human into a frog and a mug into a chair.

You're able to transform something only using your wand as an intermediary. You can't use your quirk without a wand or similar intermediary.

There aren't time limits for transformed objects, but there are quantitative limits. It means that you're able to keep only a limited number of objects transformed. If you want to transform another object, you have to cancel your quirk for something.

If you use too much your power, you get abdominal migraines.

And you, like all Magical Girls, have your own familiar — Magical Cat. This cute animal is your friend, who helps you during battles and also is able to talk to you.

It took time for Todoroki Shoto to realized his crush on you. The first time, he just looked you, how you laugh and make fun with Izuku, Tsuyu and Momo, how you, following your motherly nature, play with Eri, how you selflessly rescue civilians on the mission. Shoto enjoyed your presence during your short conversations. Your caring and empathetic nature attracted him. And then Shoto started to feel a strange excitement and rush of heat to his face whenever he saw you. Maybe, you have something like a one more secret quirk, Shoto thought.

Izuku: Todoroki-kun, glad to see you!.. What happened? You look confused. Shoto: Ah, it's you, Midoriya. You're just in time. What do you think, is it possible that she has two quirks? Izuku: Eh? What makes you think that? Shoto: She makes me feel strangely. Like I get nervous around her or want to protect her when she's in danger... These who heard this — shocked by his clueless.

The confession didn't take a long, so you two are the most talked about couple in U. A. High School. Shoto, being a straight and honest boy, show you his love through words of affirmation and physical affection. He isn't frustrated by PDA, so your friends usually feels that they want to have boyfriend or girlfriend too, looking at you. But can we blame them? You and Shoto are literally relationships goals.

You two especially love home dates in your or his dorm room. Shoto never received enough love and affection from his parents, that's why he's very touch starved. He loves cuddling with you, while you and him are laying and watching anime or reading books. And if you play his his hair, while you're cuddling? Oh, my dear, Shoto literally melts.

Yaoyorozu Momo is your best friend in U. A. You both are the students who got in U. A. through official recommendations. And you bond over your similar quirks: Momo is able to create something new, you're able to transform objects into something new. You two can be found together learning or drinking tea with sweets. Momo knows that math and tests are difficult for you, so as your friend she always makes sure that you're ready to midterm exams. She'a an amazing teacher! Even though you have some troubles with math, after lessons with Momo you somehow pass all exams with good grades. Momo loves that you're her friend! Be it pajama parties, baking or tea time, you two always have a lot of fun together. Even though Momo's love experience is based only on movies or books, she supports your relationships with Shoto a lot and tries to give you some good advices. The other girls have to stop her though, because sometimes it's nonsense.

Midoriya Izuku has a crush on you. A big and fat crush, which almost impossible to ignore. The first time, Izuku admired just your quirk. He spent a lot of time writing facts about you and your quirk in his notebook. But you were not only a powerful hero, but also a kindhearted girl. You always helped Izuku, took care about him, not to mention that you were sincerely interested in his notebooks and listened to all his ramblings about quirks and heroes. Izuku was heed over heels for you before realizing it. You'll never know about it, because crushing your relationships with Shoto is the last thing Izuku wants to do. Even though, he can't be your boyfriend, he does his best to be your good friend and don't stutter during the conversations with you.

Tsuyu Asui is one more your friend in U. A. You two always have good relationships, but when you confessed to other girls during U. A. girls sleepover party that you have a crush on Shoto, you and Asui became close because Tsuyu wanted to help you. She heard the conversation between Shoto and Izuku about you. You and Tsuyu are the good friend now. She loves teasing you in a friendly way, you're able to do the same thing though.

Todoroki family adopted you as their own daughter/sister. They support your relationships with Shoto a lot, they already hear the wedding bells. Especially Fuyumi, you're her precious little sister she loves and adores. The first time you two met, Fuyumi did everything she could to make you feel comfortable in their home, telling stories about Shoto and showing you his childhood photos. Fuyumi is a shipper number One of "you x Shoto" couple and sincerely can't wait for a moment when you'll become her sister-in-law. Natsuo supports Shoto and you in his composed manner. He loves that you two have such a good relationships and protects you from their father. No need to protect though, because Endeavor absolutely accepted you! You already have a powerful quirk, deserving to be a part of Todoroki family. But your empathetic personality helps their family to become closer. Enji appreciates it. It took tome for Shoto to introduce you to his mother. But when it happened, found out that there was nothing to fear. You and Rei got closer immediately, bonding over your precious Shoto you two love a lot. Todoroki family is maybe not the most friendly family, but there is one thing on which they concur — you're the Treasure to their family.

Happy Birthday Teruko Tawaki!

It's the protag's turn for a birthday post! You know what that means! Small character analysis, fun facts and songs that remind me of her! Let's celebrate! Just make sure to bring out the fire extinguisher before lighting any candles... actually just keep the extinguisher handy in general :v

-Being the protagonist of the series, we actually know quite a lot about her backstory. Enough to know it's quite sad in general terms. This is because she appears to have supernaturally horrendous luck, which she claims affects her and those around her. She's mentioned several instances of highly unlikely, unlucky situations she gets into constantly. From washing machine explosions, vehicles crashing, theaters being "too flammable" for her, all the way to being stuck in a killing game where she gets betrayed, stabbed, her friends die, etc.

-She's an orphan who's never known her parents. She had a brother who was compassionate, but constantly hurt by her misfortune. That brother got adopted when Teruko was around five, and she's never seen him since.

-She doesn't have an ID, which meant she had to attend schools by stealing uniforms and infiltrating them. She then usually gets caught and repeats the process several times a year. She is also in a lot of medical debt as a result of her constant injuries. Given all of this, she actually prefers living trapped in the killing game, though obviously she'd rather not have people killing each other around her.

CW Suicide

-That said, it seems her luck prevents her from dying. She told Xander that she wouldn't die because she was the Ultimate Lucky Student, and it was implied she's unsuccessfully attempted suicide by hanging.

CW over

-This misfortune has led her to develop a tremendously pessimistic view of the world and her life, believing her fate can't be changed and resigning herself to her bad luck.

-This also extends to her relationships. She tried to be amicable at the beginning of the killing game, but after Xander stabbed her, she decided to stop trusting everyone else. She now carries around her unique weapon, a hunting knife, for self-defense. This is a pretty understandable reaction given everything she's gone through, but it will inevitably go wrong (prediction).

-Her numeral in the David MV is unlucky number 13 (XIII). Go to 1:22:20 on this video for an explanation!

-The secret quote on her page's source code is "It is an equal failing to trust everybody, and to trust no one at all." Probably something she'll say in the final trial, given that this is one of the main messages the series seems to be aiming for.

-The quote on Mai's page attached to Teruko is "Some years ago, she was searching for someone named ‘Teruko Tawaki.’"

...

-Yeah, Teruko's relationship with Mai is one of the most mysterious parts of this series. Given that quote, it's very possible they knew each other several years before the killing game, got separated, and reunited some time before the killing game. After all, Teruko does remember meeting with Mai in the CH 1 Ep 6 dream sequence. If you want to read some of my other opinions on Teruko and Mai, I'll recommend reading the related portion of this post.

-Though adding to that, Teruko and Mai seem to have matching phone charms :D

-There is a lot more to talk about with Teruko, but I'm done for the day :v

Fun facts!

-Her nationality is "legally in question", whatever that means.

-She's left-handed, the only lefty in the cast!

-In kanji, her name is spelt 田脇【た ・ わき】暁子【て る ・ こ】

-She has prosopagnosia, aka face blindness. And fun fact about me, I actually have this too! I may have learnt about it when Teruko was a bit too relatable in that one conversation-

-Her favorite color is red due to "association." Possibly because it's Mai's hair color. Her least favorite color is pitch black because it's unsettling.

-Her hair recently started turning grey, probably from stress. Wild.

-Her favorite ice cream flavor is red bean.

-Her sexuality is unlabeled.

-She smells of dirt, sawdust, and burnt smell.

-Straight from a Q&A, "Her fashion sense diverges from what she’d actually wear. Secretly she wants to wear girly, cute things, but is unable to afford that kind of thing. She likes skirts."

-She likes fresh food, food which can be prepared without endangering herself with knives and stoves.

-Her birthday, January 7th, lands on "distaff day", "I am a mentor day", "old rock day", "bobblehead day"... still don't know how these come about. I think my favorite for this day is "I'm not going to take it anymore day." That's hilariously in character for Teruko xD

Fusion Dance:

FF in the zombie apocalypse

Fluent Freshman AU | Unusual Fic Asks

I need you to understand what this has done to me. 1. I didn't think anyone was going to ask about FF for some reason and 2. The concept of FF in the apocalypse is so funny to me because I write a lot of him based off of me and I have ALWAYS told anyone who asks that if an apocalypse happens I am not the plucky young lass doing whatever it takes to survive type. (Like I get word that One Piece is cancelled because Oda got eaten it's like 'ok I gotta go ask that man some QUESTIONS in the after life' and I'm OUT. I just don't have that drive in me!)

BUT FF is that kind of guy.

---

FF had been ready for the end of the world for ages. He'd felt the world quake and tear itself apart plenty of times. The first time had been after the car accident. The second time had been when he realized his mother wasn't going to stand up for him. The third was when she said "I do" to a man who hadn't made it a secret what he thought about FF.

The end of the world kept happening for him, so it was almost bizarre when finally everyone else agreed that it had happened.

He didn't really pay attention to the news, only to the increasing anxiety around campus as more and more infections occurred and there were talks about locking down the campus. His anxiety ramped higher and higher until he found himself in a state that he hated. A state where it was all so much that he lost the ability to feel anything at all.

The numbers kept climbing, the infections growing closer, and FF couldn't calm down enough to feel anything.

Then a Palmetto student was bitten and weirder it was someone he had known if only because they played on the same team.

He dodged out of the way of Jack's open mouth as he heard Sheena scream. His senses for an unexpected back attack had been heightened from years of dealing with his step brothers and further from the mindless bloodlust of Black Friday shoppers.

Jack lunged for him again.

"No cure - 100% fatal at biting stage" flashed on the TV in the lounge yesterday. "Self-Defense Recommended" the news anchor said numerous times.

He couldn't bring himself to do it though.

Aaron walked into the hallway and Jack's attention turned. He lunged mouth open and-

FF found the courage to swing down his Racquet.

Sheena just kept screaming as she ran out of the hallway.

Aaron looked shocked looking between FF and Jack on the ground.

"The infection has hit Palmetto." FF says with a deep breath trying not to feel sick, "I'm not staying on campus." he says wondering how many more students had broken quarantine like Jack.

"Where are you planning to go?" Aaron asks giving Jack's body a wide berth as he stepped around it.

"My grandma lives in Washington State. It's pretty rural. I'll go there." He says because she's stood by him through every other end of the world. If this is the one that takes then he wants to be sitting next to her.

"Sounds better than sitting here." Aaron says with a shrug and FF could see that he was shaking from what he'd just seen.

"I'm sorry you had to see that." FF says because he knows what Aaron had done to protect his brother. Aaron looks at him with wide eyes, "He was past the point where he might have been saved. We can't hesitate." he says because that's what the news anchor had said.

Aaron takes a long and shaking breath and nods.

FF nods back to him before turning and heading in the opposite direction of the exit that Sheena had run towards. He heard Aaron's footsteps following him, well this is embarrassing that they're going the same way.

"Where are you going now?" Aaron asks.

"CVS." FF answers.

"Smart, medical supplies." Aaron agrees.

Oh, that is also a good plan. FF was just planning on taking a shopping basket and knocking every last bottle of Pepto Bismol into it. "Yes." he says.

"I'll text Andrew." Aaron says and for the love of god FF did not know what he would be texting him. "Hey, thanks...for uh...saving me." he says.

They haven't decided how to charge people quite yet for the Infection self-defense cases.

"Don't mention it." he says and honestly wishes he could tell Sheena the same.

Some thoughts as I replay Mass Effect 1:

-Hackett is one of the ones to recommend Shepard as a spectre. No wonder he feels comfortable calling them up for missions through the game. He probably feels Shepard owes them a few.

-One of Joker's first lines is that he doesn't like having spectres on board. That tune changes quite quickly.

-The game eases into aliens. For the few couple of hours the player only interacts with humans and one turian. Another turian is shown in a cutscene. Geth, which are basically advanced robots, are enemies you can kill without guilt. It's not until the citadel that the game really embraces alien diversity. Bioware's wariness on how comfortable players would be about aliens shows very clearly.

-During the Eden Prime drop scene Kaidan is the one to ask about survivors. Of course he is. Kaidan, you paragon.

-Everyone learned about aliens in school. Everyone is an adult. First contact was 30 odd years ago. How exactly did the curriculum get updated so quickly that everyone learned about this in school? Bioware, your timelines make me cry.

-Manuel definitely got hit by the beacon at some point. Interesting that he also saw Saren, but his speech is so confusing no one realizes he's talking about a second turian.

-Nihlus may feel differently about humans than Saren, but he is Saren's student. He skipped all the survivors and made a beeline to the beacon. He's not cruel, but he is efficient. The beacon is the priority.

-Nihlus, we hardly knew ya. Every time I replay it's always surprising how short his screen time is. And those faces when he interacts with Saren... Bioware did a very good job on making him nonhuman but still recognizably expressive. The difference in facial expressions between ME1 and MEA are light years.

-Benezia is clearly used to Saren's tantrums. She dodged like it's something she does on a regular basis.

-Kaidan, about informing the Council about Saren: "Makes sense. They'd probably like to know he's not working for them anymore." Love this man.

-Kaidan only gets migraines. Having experienced one recently, that's a big only. And he's soldier that's frequently in combat. I hope the future has excellent pain killers.

-For this playthrough I'm planning to have Tali and Liara as companions, so I'm skipping everything on the Citadel that isn't necessary or unique to the first visit until I pick them up. It makes the game feel quite different. I usually spend hours on the Citadel during my first visit; this time I'm leaving quite quickly.

-Pallin's skepticism about humanity makes more sense when Harkin is considered. Harkin was the first human in C-Sec, he's corrupt as hell, and humanity did a lot behind the scenes to protect him. Pallin's big on following the law no matter what. No wonder he's not impressed by humanity.

-Anderson has extreme tunnel vision about Saren. From the minute he's mentioned he's convinced Saren's behind it and he's doing it solely out of hatred of humanity. He repeatedly brings this up.

Meanwhile, in the game I get the vibe that Saren doesn't care about humanity too much. He doesn't like them, he might antagonize them if the opportunity comes up, but they're not worth the bother to put actual effort into tormenting. Humanity just isn't that important to him.

-Love those silent interactions between council members where they just look at each other. Again, the difference between ME1 and MEA is stark.

-Going by the Geth core Tali retrieved, Saren considers Eden Prime a victory. The tantrum he threw indicates otherwise. Does he really consider it a victory, or is that just a speech he gave to motivate the Geth?

-At this time, I'm not convinced Anderson believes in the Reapers. He still thinks it's Saren, he just doesn't think it's worth debating Shepard on it.

-I genuinely like Udina as a character. I'd hate to be around him, but he's determined to do a good job, pragmatic, and truly devoted to humanity. Also nice to have someone around who pushes back against Shepard. ME3 wastes him.

-Garrus mentions that he rose in the ranks through C-Sec. What was his actual rank? Detective or the like, I presume. Pallin knows who he is, and that's impressive considering the number of officers there are. Even with Castis as a father.

-Tali mentions Quarian overseers to the Geth when speaking to Shepard. The game definitely pushes the slavery parallels with the Geth, even in ME1. "Overseer" is not the first term I'd use for supervising machinery. Or maybe that's the American cultural bias showing through.

-Everyone info dumps in ME1. Everyone. Enjoyable, but a bit exhausting at the start of the game when it feels continuous.

-Liara in ME1 is a completely different character than in ME2 and ME3. I'm hesitant to consider the change natural growth. It's a shame, because ME1 Liara has quite a bit of potential. They didn't need to rework her character for the later games.

-First time playing on Insanity, and I'm surprised at the lack of trouble I've had so far. Everyone says the battle with the krogan at the end of Therum is difficult, but I only died once. I might regret this later, when I get to the Uncharted worlds...

Piper’s Relationship With Each Character: Part 4

FINALLY FINISHED THE STUDENTS I've been so busy I am very sorry! Now it's time for the final batch of students! Still have not finished Book 6! May do the staff next, but I want to start new projects so that may not be for a while!: Ignihyde and Diasomnia SPOILERS FOR BOOK 6 and 7, may change after chapter 7 has completed. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Idia:

Never really got to see him in person until bumping into him at the festival in chapter 5 (a change to the original story). The first thing she told him on a whim was, "your hair is pretty" which he responded by booking it back to his room. Other than that, the whole STYX attack was probably the most stressful and overstimulating moment of her life at that time. Plus, he had her cat... so. But, she is able to sympathize for his situation and loss and partially forgave him after the whole fiasco (emphasis on partly, she is gaining more boundaries and focusing on her own needs at this part of the story).

She found herself fascinated with video games since her journey at S.T.Y.X, so Ortho (forcibly) asked his brother to recommend her games. Seeing her fascination with animals and creatures, plus her status as a beast tamer, Idia recommended her a game where you caught monsters and fought others with them. Piper thought it was a little harsh at first, but soon became obsessed with it. Soon she and Idia became monster catcher buddies; battling, trading monsters, and exploring each other's worlds. Idia even got her a plush version of her favorite monster.

Ortho:

Reminds her a lot of herself when she was a kid still playing in the woods. His playful spirit, his dream of adventure, and only wanting what's best for others. Makes her wish she could be that young again and be as playful as she wanted to be. But, he gives her the opportunity to go back to those days through hanging out and playing games with each other from time to time. He even brings (forcefully) Idia to play as well. Even though he is a robot, she still treats him like a human being. Especially since he became a 1st year student along side her and the gang.

Malleus:

WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN!!! Ok, so first of, just like the other Yuus, she was never really scared by him. More fascinated by his mysterious, domineering, yet charming and distinguishable demeanor. She did not know how powerful and well-known he was after all. Which in turn, made him fascinated by her. The nickname "Hornton (Tsunotarou)" certainly caught him off guard, but made him ever more curious about the "child of man."

Piper soon found herself to be more curious about Hornton as well, so they started to hang out with each other alone. She now has an encyclopedic knowledge on gargoyles now because of him. In return, she talks about stuff she likes and stuff from her home world. She soon learns that Hornton is just a dorky guy who likes to be where he can be himself and be surrounded by the things he loves, just like her. She also relates a lot to her loneliness, while hers was more voluntary than his. Things went south when she told him she may have found a way to head home. Ended up with her and the school asleep.

Silver:

In her story, Piper and Silver meet earlier than the other Yuus. He and Sebek first appear after Malleus's first appearance in Book 2 and actually introduce themselves to her. Their second interaction involved him defending her after she was being bothered by students who she stopped from pulling a prank on a sleeping Silver. The more they saw of each other, the more their friendship grew. Piper was definitely excited whenever animals started to form around Silver, wishing she had that ability.

Ever since the incident, Silver tries not to fall asleep around her. But, she understands that it can't be helped sometimes. Whenever he does go to sleep or she finds him asleep, she tries to stay with him so nothing happens to him. Sometimes, when Piper needs a break from everyone, she hangs out with Silver. For someone who is basically a fairytale knight in shining armor (which she adores since she loved reading fairytale adventures in her home world), he is also one of the calmest, down to earth, kindest people at NRC. She's happy to have someone like this around. Even if she does consider herself too "boring" to be around him, which he disagrees with.

Sebek:

ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE IS SEBEK. Like I said before, Piper meets him and Silver in Book 2 after Malleus' appearance. They asked if she's seen Malleus, which Piper says no because she has no idea who he is and does not know it is Hornton. Cue Sebek yelling in her face saying some righteous speech about 'how can she possibly not know about the great and mighty prince Malleus Draconia.' Which leads to Piper covering her ears and starting to sink into the ground and Silver apologizing for Sebek's actions. Definitely not a good start.

Now, whenever he is around, she wears her earmuffs. When she was in the dream relm and her earmuffs were gone, she had to adjust to Sebek's voice. Luckily, Silver was able to explain Piper's oversensitivity to Sebek and he has gotten better at controlling his volume around her. Now, she feels like she doesn't need earmuffs or headphones when he is around anymore. Sebek also respects her for her bravery (as well as being friends with wakasama).

Lilia:

Reminds her of her father back in her home world. Fun-loving, funny, caring, tries to be 'hip' with the kids. The only difference being that Lilia does not push his kids into something they don't feel like they can do (at least to her knowledge). Usually is around when Piper hangs out with Malleus or Silver, asking if they ever need anything and saying normal parent things like, "you kids have a good time!"

Besides Trien and maybe Crewel, Piper feels like Lilia is the only adult that she can depend on whenever she needs an adult. And those father skills come in handy. Dad hugs, dad jokes, dad food... well maybe not that, but pretty much anything she needs, she can go to him. Her respect for him as a father grew exponentially after seeing his dream and learning about him, Malleus, and Silver. Does make her miss her parents back home, but at least he can be her temporary dad until she gets back home... at least he was.

Oh my god!! I saw this movie twice within 72 hours and trust me, it’s worth the hype.

Everything about part 1 of Wicked is perfect! From the score of the songs to the design of OZ and Shiz University to the cast itself is perfect! Pure perfection on a plate and everything that a Broadway fan could ask for.

I’ll break my review down into multiple categories: Cast/Characters, Music, Setting, and Warnings since there are atleast a couple of things you need to know before going into this musical movie. So let’s begin!

Cast/Characters: What makes this movie perfection is the use of actors/actresses with actual Broadway experience. Showing that there was a lot of respect towards the show and the legacy that the show has on past, present, and future fans of this wonderful show. I have to say, Cynthia Erivo and Arian Grande-Butera nail the roles of Elphaba and Glinda (Galinda). There mannerisms, chemistry, and voices blended perfectly with the score. We see how the polar opposites of Glinda’s perky and upbeat blends in with Elphaba’s grounded and blunt personality. Erivo plays Elphaba to a tee from the voice and mannerisms to when she’s happy that her green skin/powers are starting to be seen in a positive light to when she is at the Ozdust ball and is embarrassed by her attire, all of the strength that Erivo shows is perfection. Her simple but elegant mannerisms when putting on the hat to doing the dance made me tear up. All of the strength Elphaba has to conceal in order to not care what the other students at Shiz think is exhausting all the time. It’s unfortunate that this occurs but not uncommon for people who have a slight but significant difference feeling like they have to conceal/ blend in so that others don’t judge them. That theme resonates throughout the show/movie and Erivo defintely highlights this theme perfectly. Also, Defying Gravity and The Wizard and I are the ultimate anthems that Erivo’s voice encaptures and will get in your head non-stop, so fair warning. Ariana Grande-Butera’s portrayal of Glinda was honestly so much fun to watch. She was perky and energetic without having it be overboard. I don’t know if people know this but Grande-Buerta got her start in the 2009 production of 13. Although she has been away from Broadway for a while, it was nice to see her go back and portray such a beloved character perfectly. Her energy and range of emotions was done amazingly from the way she dances with Elphaba at the Ozdust ball, transitioning into the number Popular was breathtaking. I’m sorry in advance for talking a lot about the Ozdust ball scene during the number dancing through life (Fieyero’s song), its just my favorite moment in the movie, but more on that later. We see the expression of guilt/layers in Glinda when she is able to be under the teachings of Madame Morrible after Elphaba recommended her. It simply showed compassion and softening her hate towards her, showing her kindness after all the hate she’s been giving her and the ostracizing. Her eyes and stillness at the dance shows her guilt, looking at Elphaba and joining in. Showing the strength and vulnerability in her character for the first time. The expressions and choices every actor makes is glory.

It would be unfair to discuss this movie without crediting Michelle Yeoh’s Madame Morrible, Johnathan Bailey’s Fieyero, and Jeff Goldblum’s The Wizard. Michelle Yeoh shows such vigor in playing Madame Morrible. The one issue I always had towards the end when Madame Morrible calls Elphaba a “wicked witch.” (Apologies in advance for spoilers) its always yelled and I understand its a theater so you can’t get away with that low threat, however for me it grates on and we get this over the top version of the line that cuts away from the intensity. However, Yeoh’s portrayal of the line in that sharp, threatening tone throughout OZ has a a balance where I can still understand the threat of how Elphaba’s life is in danger but also soft-spoken and cuts like a knife into the ever-growing tension that the scene calls for is brilliant and shows impeccable detail towards how these characters need to be portrayed. Yeoh’s interpretation was perfect because we see her poker face when it comes to Elphaba and we see how there student-professor relationships affects each of them which is something we didn’t get the opportunity to see in the Broadway version of this piece. It was intertwined perfectly while keeping the pace of the movie. Fieyero was loving and charming. The way he uses his charm to influence the students without having it feel too-culty or forced in is the way it really should be. Finally, before going on Goldblum and Dinklage added to the film because we could see layers of how there characters are affected by the actions of Elphaba in different ways. While Dr. Dillamond is pleased and overwhelmed by the compassion Elphaba shows towards him, despite everyone’s stance in Oz that animals should be seen and not heard while the wizard (Goldblum) at first is impressed but slowly turns threatened by her power and uses his influence to turn everyone against her. The depth these characters had to go in order to make the characters seem believable is impressive and demonstrates the respect everyone had while making this piece.

Honorable Mention: Marissa Bode, who plays Nessarose Thropp is the first actress to portray her in an accurate light as she is also a parapalegic. It demonstrates the respect Chu had for these characters and wanted them to be portrayed perfectly. Well done to Bode, who did a great job of representing Nessarose who just wants a fresh start but never can.

Music: First off, the score is incredible and fun fact: during the climax, Erivo sings Defying Gravity live and does her own stunts. It’s crazy but true, however we see the dedication she had to portraying Elphaba and doing the character justice in that scene. The singing is out of this world, along with the choreography to the songs, the fun these characters are having (Popular, The Wizard and I, and Dancing Through Life), but also the heartbreak they also are experiencing in certain songs (Something Bad and I’m Not that Girl). The voices each actress/actor adds to these iconic songs says a lot about the influence and respect this show has on everyone involved. Spoiler: Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel have the perfect cameo during One Short Day, which is awesome to see them pas the torch towards not only the actresses, but also the new fans of Wicked. This cameo speaks to paying homage to the legacy of what they brought to these characters, which is sweet to see and don’t get very often in musical movies (transitioned from Broadway shows, to be specific). Anyway, it’s indescribable these musical numbers and I highly recommend seeing the movie to understand what I mean. My only criticism is they didn’t need the song, A Sentimental Man as it was a very slow song and it did drag on a bit, however for the most part the songs help with the pacing of this film.

Setting: Oh my lord, the setting was so gorgeous. Every detail that went into building the world of OZ/Shiz was perfect. To the yellow brick road at the start (again, sorry about spoilers) to the different shades of green that encaptures the spirit of Oz, which makes the dedication and respect everyone on the set showed towards getting this movie adaptation right. I don’t want to give too much away but every detail from costumes to place felt like the directors were bringing us there and wanting us to experience the highs and lows of the character’s journey with them. Ugh!!!!!! This movie was amazing, I can’t go over it! However, with the amazement of this movie, there comes a few warnings.

Warnings:

1. This is a two-parter. Despite my knowledge of this, the movie doesn’t do a great job of advertising this in my opinion so be prepared that you won’t see numbers such as No Good Deed, As Long as Your Mine, and For Good in this movie. The second part will be out on November 22, 2025 (hopefully)

2. The run time is 2 hours and 40 minutes, so be prepared to sit for a long time (along with the trailers, which should take no longer than 20 minutes).

3. No singing. Despite both times this wasn’t an issue in my theater, you will get a promo that shows everything you don’t do in the theater, which includes singing. Depending on the theater, you may get the warning sign, you may not. But be prepared for the sign!

Other than the warnings, this movie is worth the watch in my opinion and recommend any broadway fan of the show or musical fan to see this movie!

Thanks for reading!
