#the things that killed me were 1: not doing my homework and quizzes

[quibbs126]

Yeah…pretty sure I’m not passing engineering. Which means I will most likely have only passed 1 class this semester

*sigh* well, I guess I just have to hope to do better next semester

1:30 pm, Monday 

(Groan) Todays been shit so far I’ve had 7 pieces of homework assigned, 3 pop quizzes and now I’m in the principles office for braking a kids fucking nose!

… Well I may need to explained the last one.

(Back to just before the fight)

Hey Kent, wanna burn down the school with me later? I ask my friend Nick sarcastically.

You know I would love to Miss Daria Wayne but I have a prior engagement he respond in a fake British accent kinda soundin like Alfred.

We both start laughing and start discussing plans for an upcoming mission then Nick had to excuse himself to the bathroom. But then Callum Wellson comes strutting up to me.

Hey sewer rat , what should we talk about? Oh, superhero’s or maybe even anime? He says in fake excitement.

Piss of Wellson, I don’t want to look at your snobby mug let alone talk with it I quip hoping this jack ass would leave me the hell alone.

Shut it Wayne, why don’t we talk about the fact your parent only adopted you so they wouldn’t get shade from the media!

Idiot they didn’t adopt me I’m Damian Wayne’s biological daughter really this guy has to check his facts before he start his idiotic accusations.

That what I mean you came into there lives when things were going great for them. They just announced their pregnancy and how Mr Wayne inherited Wayne Corporations.

He pauses looking at my face. Maybe he was right they were doing just fine without me better even did ... did I .... destroy that?

And all of a sudden you come along and turn there world upside down a sewer rat that’s a pain in the ass. I wouldn’t be surprised if they left you on someone’s door step or even .... 

He didn’t get to finish his sentence before I was on top of him pounding my fists into his face. Hearing a loud audible crunch, probably his nose but that didn’t stop me.

The only reason I did stop was because the teachers where pulling me off of him I got I good few swings but they wouldn’t let me go.

(Back to current time)

So here I am waiting for my ...... father to show up. I don’t think he will, he never really showed up for anything before why would this be different?

Oh my baby! I hear a screeching voice well ..... screech.

What did that little she beast do to you the woman continues as if I’m not even here well nothing new there.

She looks at me and if looks could kill i’d currently be decaying. She then looked at the head master  I want that little affair maid mistake expelled at once!

..... what did she call me?

I stay quite for the rest of the meeting while Max defend his innocence and his mother continues to throw insult my way.

Then the infamous Damian Wayne walks in well there’s a first for everything I suppose.

I look u to meet him in the eyes but he just glares at me so I go back to staring at my hands.

Hello Mr Cowlick may I ask why I have been called here my da.... Dam... Mr Wayne asks.

After the Head master explained Callums side of the story and how I’ve not spoken he continues on to how I have a weeks suspension.

Right, I will see to paying for you medical bills, again I am extremely sorry for the trouble Daria has caused.

You should be Mrs Wellson quips.

If you mind head master I need to call my assistant to cancel my meeting.

Oh that’s  no problem Mr Wayne I’m on to my lunch anyway Mr Cowlick says before gathering his stuff and leaving.

Mrs Wellson and her son leave the room and .... Mr Wayne gives me a look that says wait outside.

As I walk out side the room into the school hall Mrs Wellson bends down to be eye level with me.

There is no place for a sluts daughter among the blue bloods.

She states before taken her son and walking out the building. Maybe she’s right I was technically a mistake. I’m not supposed to be hear I should of died with the rest of my “kind”.

My thoughts are interrupted by Mr Wayne who just calmly tells me to get in the car.

Once in the car we start driving home in silence..... oh great.

As soon as we arrive home he tells me to go inside and into my room and to stay there for the rest of the night.

I do as he says knowing what I have to do now.

I walk into the house to be meet with a two year old Thomas trying to climb up my legs. I simply pick him up kiss his head and place him back on the ground.

Raven is standing in the doorway looking disappointed I guess didn’t matter much now dose it? Won’t be here much longer already ruined there lives no point making it worse.

I’ll bring you up you dinner in a hour she says I just nod walking to my room as soon as I’m in I lock the door. Shuffling threw my things looking for my duffel bag fining it under my bed I start placing clothes in it. 

Some jumpers, hoodies, my hero costume, domino mask and finally a little ratted hyena plushy I bought  on my first time at the zoo (it was pretty cute). I can feel my eyes becoming watery so I angrily rub them against my arm I climb out the window using the ivy the grows on the house.

So I guess this is it, on on my own ... again.

(1hr or so later)

Damians Pov

I was sat at my office catching up on work I missed. What am I going to do with that girl?

My thoughts are disturbed by my personal phone going off I look at he caller idea.

Beloved

Hello Beloved are you ok? I ask a slight tint of worry in my voice as I question the reason for her call.

Damian she says panicked do you know where Daria is I can’t find her I’ve looked every where her clothes are gone her duffel bag to! 

What...... 

I’ll be home in 15 minutes I’ll call John and my brothers don’t panic my love we’ll find her I say before hanging up.

(back to Daria)

I was walking the streets of Gotham not in a to nice of an area but it was alright. I stop by a small 24 hr store deciding on going in to get some essentials I have 34$ that should last me for a while if I pay for  only the necessities. 

I go outside getting ready to cross the road before I catch sight of my ..... 

UNCLE JASON! I’m so screwed I pull my hood closer to my face and start to jog a little not enough to be noticeable but fast enough to get out of there.

I walk over to the slightly safer part of town as it gets dark finding a little park I climb one of the trees to stay in for the night.

(About 2 weeks later Daria has been sleeping in the tree every night but explores Gotham in the day avoiding her family and friends).

Hearing voices I shot up nearly dozing off I look around trying to remember what the hell I was doing.

I look threw a clearing in the leaves and branches and see Dam.... Wayne. He’s pulling out his phone all of a sudden my phone buzzed and I go to turn it off before my wring tone starts.

He didn’t hang up tho he just listened to the voice mail.....

Hey it’s Daria Wayne I’m ether sleeping or eating so get lost or call back later p.s Nick u probably know more about the homework assignments than I do so I wouldn’t bother askin!

He chuckles before he frowns again walking in the direction of home. I started to miss it actually the way Raven would tuck me in after a nightmare or how Thomas used to try to climb on me to get me to carry him.

I know it’s selfish I know I’m a horrible person if I’m ruining there lives I should stay out of them but ..... I miss them.

I realise it started raining no pouring I was instantly soaked I gave in. I wanted my family even if the didn’t want me .... 

So I stared walking home, then jogging, then running and now full on sprinting. I fell slicing open my arm on some broken glass but I can fix that later I want to got home!

I’m standing in front of the door all I have to do is knock, just Knock. Why aren’t I moving, move god dammit!

I move my non injured arm so it’s letting my fingers hover over the bell. 

I take a deep breath silently apologising for the destruction my birth caused before I pushed the bell a little sing song tune plays.

I can hear the thudding of feet before the door is yanked open. 

There stood Raven her eyes red like she had been crying and her body trembling like she had seen a ghost.

Hey ....... Umi I say struggling to look her in the eyes. She just falls to her knees grabbing me and squeezing me tight.

She pulled me in the house and there I see Mr way... I see my father stood there with a blank face.

Hi dad I say above a whisper he just falls to his knees grabbing me and hugging me so tight. 

I wince at the contact to my arm and the glass being further shoved in. He pulled back before looking at me with worry.

I just chuckle nervously I may have fallen on some glass when walking up the street I say rubbing the back of my neck with my good hand/arm.

Suddenly I’m being lifted onto the kitchen table having my jacket carefully taken off. Raven went to get the fist aid kit I guess while dad focused on cleaning the wound and removing the glass.

Once that was done I needed 15 stitches that was ...... fun.

Once it was done tho they started the best part ..... Scolding.

What were you thinking do you know how worried we where.

Anything could have happened to you!

Your not brain dead so where did this stupidity come from!

As the continued I started to quietly sob all I did was make thing word I stressed them out more.

Never do that again Daria Martha Wayne do you understand ?!

.......

They noticed my solum expression and the room was quite so, so quite.

Ra... Umi looks at dad before turning back to be she lifts my chin so we’re making eye contact.

You mean so much to us, we would be broken if we lost you understand that Daria you are apart of this family and we love you.

I couldn’t take it anymore how could I do this to them!

NO YOU CANT LOVE ME I scream.

The rooms quite again......

IM THE ONE THAT RUINED YOUR LIVES, I TURND YOU PERFECT LIVES UPSIDE DOWN.

ALL I EVER DO IS CAUSE PEOPLE STRESS AND PAIN AND ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT BECAUSE NOBODY WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH A SLUTS DAUGHTER!!! I scream tear gushing down my face.

Heaving trying to catch my breath I was suddenly pulled into someone’s arms.

I look up to meet the eyes of my comforter it Dad.

You Daria Martha Wayne are no Sluts daughter you are our daughter. We love you so much and nothing will ever change that.

Funnily I fall numb hugging no clinging to his telling them I was sorry and how stupid it was for me to leave.

(Time skip)

We are currently in Mr and Mrs Wayne’s room were Thomas and Daria are curled up between there parents.

The End

[o-pandora-o]

Brothers in the Human Realm

No one was a demon to begin with (maybe luci though but-). You meet the brothers as human in the human realm. How would you meet them?

Lucifer:

Apparently some schoolmate of yours have done some violations in the school grounds and they used your name

You were sent to the Principal's office where you were questioned by Principal Diavolo about your wrong doings

You were trying to defend your innocence, but it was no avail

Coincidentally Lucifer was just dropping paperwork to Diavolo

Lucifer is your strict and scary and handsome college professor

He overheard the conversation and he defended you since he knew that you weren't lying

"Mr. Diavolo I must say, MC is one of my exceptional students, they would not do something as idiotic as that, and I clearly observe the behavior of my students"

Your H E R O

The next day, someone gave Principal Diavolo evidence of those who did wrong

Your name was cleared

Apparently you saw Lucifer giving those schoolmates detention, threat, and punishment. You may or may not seen a hint of killing intent in his eyes

You decided to thank Lucifer

"No worries, I just clearly observe the actions of what is mine"

H O L D U P

"Wha-" you replied

"Ah MC I have to go to my next class, take care"

Mammon:

Is a famous model, often the cover and centerfold of the monthly Majolish

For you Mammon was okay? I mean he is famous and many people likes his face

You were going to buy a limited edition  sunglasses that have hint of yellow and orange

You went to a sunglass store and asked the attendant if they they still have it but apparently the one on the display is their only stock

You decided to buy it

Apparently, Mammon also came to that specific sunglasses store looking for sunglasses that is the same as the one you bought

"I'm sorry sir, but apparently it was already bought and we have no stock" the attendant said

"Who bought it?"

"They did, sir" the attendant said as they point to you

"Oi! Can I buy the sunglasses from you? I'll pay double, no one can refuse the great Mammon"

"I'm sorry but I have to refuse. I really wanted it." you said

"Don't you know who I am? I'm-"

"The Great MAMMON, who is a famous model and often seen on Majolish magazine" you cut him off. "R-right! Now can i buy-"

"Nope sorry" you replied as you rushed to the exit

"Oi! What's your name? And contact details" he asked

"the name is MC, thats all you can get from me" you said as you rushed to the crowd

He was swarmed by the number of fans who saw him

He managed to find you and he chats you "Can I buy the sunglasses now?"

In the end it wasn't just sunglasses you talked about, you also talked about his struggle of being a model and your life

Leviathan:

Your username DestructoSheep is well known in the realms of Obey them

You always rank 2nd in pop quizzes

However no matter what you try, you can never beat your enemy, L3v1

Today, you got a letter from obey them, acknowledging the top players and giving them limited edition items

Ofc you have to go (there are limited items after all)

So you arrived early at the meetup place, no one was there yet so you played some obey them

A purple haired male entered the room, he looked fidgety, nervous, and he was mumbling something about normies

Cue giving of merch

The purple haired male tripped on the tiles and he dropped his phone in front of you

You helped him up and picked up his phone only to see his player name is L3v1.

"You.... You are L3v1." you sai

"Y-Yeah?W-Why?" he said as he was going to grab his phone away from you

"Waaaah! I'm DestructoSheep nice to meet you, oh but you can call me MC" you said as you reached his hand for a handshake

"I-uhhh I'm sorry I'm not used to touching, thats very normie-ish" he said as he averted his eyes

"My name is Leviathan, levi for short"

"I've always thought that the top player is always prideful and such but here he is being shy" you said as you chuckled

"H-hey! I'm still the best one in obey them mind you! I got every event cards at lvl 150 and skill lvl 10 and-"

"Yeah yeah I know" you said

After both of you received the merch, you both talked nonstop about obey them, other games, and anime

It was more like Levi bragging the amount of games and anime he played and watched

It was almost dusk till both of you notice the time

"Ah i got to go early, need to cook dinner. Chat me sometime!!!" you said as you gave him your contact details

Expect no sleep cuz both of you kept chatting till dawn

Satan:

He saw a kitty in a box in an alleyway near his apartment

Everyday, he often stops by to give the kitty enough food for the day

Is often disgusted by the fact that most people dump their pets in trash because they don't have anything to feed it

Saw you going to the alleyway

He suspected the worst and he thought that you were gonna harm the kitty he was feeding

"Hey don't harm-" he stopped

He saw you feeding the kitty

"Ah I assume you thought that I was gonna harm it?" you asked

"Well I thought the worst, humans are naturally scum anyways, but even so I do apologize"

"Ah it's alright, it's not a big deal anyways" you replied

"You come here often? I mean to feed the kitten that is" he asked

"You can say that, but not as often as you do" you said

"How did you know?did you perhaps-"

"Ah I happened to saw you feeding the kitten, I was just shy to approach you" you said

"Well I come to believe that people who are close to cats are not necessarily bad"

"I have to say I have to agree" you replied

"Ah I have to go, let's chat here again next time" you added

The alleyway became your meeting place to chitchat about cats

Asmodeus:

The famous M.A.D. Company released a new and limited edition Devil Set makeup and you were dying to get a hold of one

You spent a day looking at different stores but it was either unavailable or sold out. However, you were lucky to find another store that has one last stock.

You didn't notice someone else was also going to get it and so both of you grabbed the last set

"Uh... I'm sorry I have been looking this for the whole day, may I have it?" you politely asked

"Awww sweetie, I have been doing the same thing! Can you be a dear and let go of it?" the male with champagne-colored hair replied

Cue 1 hour of both of you saying "let go" or "it's mine"

"I have an idea! Let's just buy the set and divide it" you said

"Ohh! Good thinking! I will take the lippies, Devil shadow palette and the foundation!"

"That's literally EVERYTHING IN THE SET"

Cue two more hours of bickering.

Both of you didn't notice someone took it while the two of you are bickering

You noticed that it was gone

"Um... Someone already bought it while you two were... fighting" the saleslady explained

Both of you left the store empty handed and sad and you decided to break the atmosphere

"Pffft I'm sorry for fighting because of a Makeup set, btw my name is MC" you said

"I'm also sorry dear, although I wanted it I still didn't get it. I even missed my appointment to the salon!"

"And my name is Asmodeus, perfect name for a perfect being!" Asmo added

"Alright Mr 'Perfect' " you rolled your eyes

Let's just say that both of you talked about makeups on your way home.

Beelzebub:

Beel is your classmate during Physical Education class at college

Is a famous football player in your campus and he is also known for his handsomeness

His practice hours were often morning to late lunch and late lunch til dusk

During late lunch you saw him in the cashier by the cafeteria, asking if they still have cheeseburger available

But to his dismay, the cashier said "I'm sorry you already bought the last cheeseburger, and that's the last quota for the day"

He seemed sad and still hungry

You still have a cheeseburger to eat, but when you saw the time you knew you weren't gonna make it on your next class

When no one was looking, you decided to approach Beel and gave him your cheeseburger

"Are you giving this to me?"

"Yeah, I was going to eat it but I don't have much time for my next class" you replied

"Thanks, I owe you one"

You saw how happy he was when he got the cheeseburger

You were shocked how fast he ate it

Did he like inhale it or something

After your class, you noticed that he texted you saying "Thanks for the cheeseburger, I'll repay you next time you get hungry"

Let's just say you both got closer after that

Belphie:

It's your first day of online class, and your first subject has a 4 hour lecture

You forgot to disconnect your meeting link and you didn't notice until you were about to do homework

As you were about to disconnect, you saw that you weren't alone and you're classmate is still connected

You didnt want to leave him so you tried your best for your classmate to notice you. You tried spamming and saying " hello"

After 1234 attempts he finally noticed you

"Ah I'm sorry I slept during the boring lecture, thanks for waking me up"

"Ah it's no problem" you replied

"My name is Belphegor as you can see, but you can call me Belphie"

"My name is MC" you replied

"Say... How are you still here after hours after the lecture?"

"I forgot to disconnect" you replied

"Uh idk if this is too much of a favor to ask, can you wake me up again next time? After lecture that is, I don't want to be late for other classes"

"Sure, I don't mind I guess" you replied

After that, both of you got to know each other and you forgot to do your homework and you became a personal alarm clock

Week 4.

-

Oct. 23

I woke up around 3PM.

Spent some time watching YouTube, listening to music, and filling out and posting last week’s log.

Then, did today’s DD. 40 side leg raises with EC (20/20; from floor, both legs moving). One of the exercises that feel good for the hips. At least the tendons part. The less fun part was the pressure of skin and hip points into floor through bunched up pant fabric/elastic - not enough innate cushioning. Ah well. Good exercise.

Spent some time on the usual, wanted to get some writing done, but experienced some technical issues that killed my mood that night. :/

I did get to bed before 2AM, yellow zone.

-

Oct. 24

I woke up around noon.

Followed up with tech support, chatted and got going with today’s DD.

2′ balance hold with EC. Decided to effectively double this by sending 2′ on both sides consecutively, for more of a challenge. Lat 30″ or so each took a bit of digging in for the calves, last 1′ or so of it all took some digging to keep arms up the whole time. But I enjoy that it’s pretty meditative work.

In between rapport with tech support and noting that my region was under a Flash Flood Watch (thankfully, it didn’t get to that point for us) made me stressed out.

I did make some dinner. Turkish-spiced chicken with apricot sauce. I thought it was pretty tasty.

Spent rest of day on the usual stuff. Got to bed in the red zone.

-

Oct. 25

I woke up around 11AM.

More correspondence with tech support, made preparations for my appointment, and attended therapy. It was... pretty emotional. But important.

Got home and did some homework I was given from therapist and then got going with today’s exercises...

First, today’s DD. 2′ elbow plank, no EC. I wound up splitting it into ~1′30″/30″. Intense, started re-watching WTIT on phone while I did it, helpful distraction.

Last, Day 16 of the FP. Level 3, no rest. Tendon Strength Day. I was listening/watching more of WTIT as I went along. Pretty intense, but a fun distraction from some of my feelings.

Spent rest of night on much of the usual, some research, some quizzes. Got to bed a little later than yesterday.

-

Oct. 26

I woke up around 2PM.

I did some exercise right away.

First, today’s DD. 40 plank knee-to-elbows with EC. I did things 10/10/10/10, was tempted to drop the plank but didn’t. Well, I did try to have the knee make contact.

Last, Day 17 of the FP. Level 3, no rest. Fast Paced Cardio Day. Shoulders felt it the most, with all those split jacks. But doable and pretty brisk.

Spent rest of night on usual stuff. Also read some fics and contemplated on using a different art program someday... but I’ll more seriously look into it after the iZ!AU is done and posted.

Got to bed later than yesterday.

-

Oct. 27

I woke up around 2PM.

I started on some exercise right away.

First, today’s DD. 50 back leg raises with EC (25/25). I decided to do a balancing variation - aiming to only allow drop to switch side or to complete it. A pretty breezy exercise, though i did wobble a few times.

(After some chatting and the usual...)

Last, Day 18 of the FP. Level 3, no rest. Strength Day. Got surprisingly aerobic. But it was manageable. Had to mind my knees throughout and my shoulders really felt the fatigue build up.

Did some of the usual, but also made some dinner, and got some writing done.

Got to bed earlier than yesterday, still in the red zone.

-

Oct. 28

I woke up around 1PM.

I started on some exercise right away.

First, today’s DD. 40 windmills with EC. I did a few extra, in case few reps were incomplete (not quite making contact between hands/feet). A fun exercise!

(After some chatting and the usual, again...)

Last, Day 19 of the FP. Level 3, no rest. Fast Pace Cardio. It went alright. No hopping into/out-of planks still. Be easier on the knees. A few instances I did a some extra [slow] climbers, mostly because Ia lapse of focus. Very manageable.

Spent some time on the usual, but also some more writing.

Got to bed earlier than yesterday, still in the red zone.

-

Oct. 29

I woke up around 2PM.

I did some exercise right away.

First, today’s DD. 30 frog jumps with EC. I used the space I had to do 2 jumps forward and 2 jumps in reverse. Got me a bit winded. I like this a bit more than squat hops (where you hold a squat while hopping), ties with squat jumps (where you jump upright from the squat). It was manageable. Amusing too, but not as high in preference as combat work.

Last, Day 20 of the FP. Level 3, 30″ rest. Tendon Strength. Oof, this work is INTENSE. Left my hips/thighs feeling like noodles. Pffft. But it is good work that I value.

I did some dishes and made some dinner. One-pot chicken sausage and bean soup. I like these kinds of recipes, a bit easier to deal with later.

Spent rest of night on the usual, also watched the Scooby Doo special with a friend.

Got to bed later than yesterday.

Chapter 5,

The lessons begin

Monday evening, just as the sun was beginning to set, you had arrived back at the mansion of magic (kinda a cool name for it huh?) with your stuff packed. John and Serafina insisted that since you were to be studying magic, it would be wise to just go ahead and move in with all of them, so as to not draw attention to yourself as you practice the spells and incantations you were about to learn.

Brian and Roger greeted you outside the mansion and as you opened up your car door and shut it Brian tells you.

“We’ll take your things to your room. John and Serafina expect you in the library right away.”

“Are you sure you don’t need my help taking in my stuff?” you ask the Elf and the Nokken.

“Child we’ve taken down large ships and giant trolls long before you were born. I think we can manage a few dozen boxes.”

“Okay. But it’s not a dozen boxes. Just seven or eight really.”

“Alright, now go on. They’re expecting you.” you head on inside and walked towards the same library where you first found out the truth about the young couple.

The two of them sitting together with Serafina on the same red velvet chair she sat at last time while John was leaning against it with his back.

“You’ve arrived. And right on time to. Be thankful you weren’t at our school. If you were even a second late, you were punished with detention.” John said.

“Believe me. My elementary and junior high schools definitely didn’t take tardiness lightly. Once my teacher in the 4th grade would literally smack your hand for every minute or second you were late with her ruler.” You shudder at the memory.

“Be thankful it was just a ruler. When Serafina was late one class, she was forced to work in the Forbidden forest with the grounds keeper for a week.”

“At nighttime. But it wasn’t all bad. Hagrid was fun to be around.” Serafina said.

“Hagrid?” you ask.

“An old friend of ours back in school. He first worked the school grounds during our 1st and 2nd years but by the time Year 3 came around he was promoted to Professor of the Magical creatures class.” Serafina responds.

“But enough of that. Are you ready to begin your lessons?”

“I’m ready.” You said confidently before turning around to walk out.  That’s when John says to you.

“Uhh where do you think you’re going?” you turn back around and say.

“Aren’t we going out into the garden or something to practice some magic? Like flying or levitating stuff.” The two of them then started to laugh.  At this point you were confused.  Why were they laughing? You thought you were actually gonna be learning magic and the point of learning magic was to actually do it.

“Oh sweetheart. I think you’re mistaken. So long as John and I are your professors, you will be learning the same way we were first taught.” Serafina turned to John and he nodded before going straight to the bookshelves.

His long yet elegant fingers stroked across various book spines till he would pick out a book and levitate it in the air before going onto the next one.  The book would follow right behind him as he would continue his search for more books.

Occasionally he’d blow off some dust from a book before joining it on top of the growing stack.  Finally he picked one last book before walking towards you.  He allowed the books to fall gently onto the table beside you before walking back towards Serafina and taking her hand in his.

“Let us know when you’ve read all of those.” He said as he guided Serafina out of the library.

“All of them?!” you exclaim.

“Basics darling. Always start with the basics.” Serafina’s voice soon called out.  You turn to the six Encyclopedia-sized books and let out a groan.

“And I thought I could kiss homework goodbye after I graduated.” You whined quietly.

‘If you’d like I can give you some cheese with that whine.’ John’s voice suddenly said in your head.  You jump back fearfully looking around. ‘Telepathic connections. You’ll learn it if you get cracking on those books. And if you’d want my advice, it’s best to read all the books at once. Saves time.’ Then all went quiet.

Read all the books at once? How was that even gonna be possible? These didn’t even look like a full book series.  But John is your professor now so if he says it’ll save time, then I guess I don’t have any other choice.

Plus reading all those books one by one will take forever. Hell it took you 2 months just to finish Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. You pick up the books, oh god how you have not missed lugging around textbooks! And set them down at the desk nearby.  You pull up the chair and spread the books out one by one and you read each title.

The BOOK OF NOIR

The Incantations of Azarath.

The Enochian and Demonic hieroglyphs

Mythical creatures: Their origins and weaknesses

Hexes, charms and potions

Origins of magic

Okay then.  You turn the desk light on and open up each of the books and you start your reading, beginning with the “Origins of Magic”.

You decided to read at least seven pages for each book before moving onto the next one.  After reading the “Origins of magic” page limit you then turned to the ‘Incantations of Azarath’ which talked about white witch magic and how it can be used in battle as well as healing.

After that you proceeded with the Book of Noir which talked about the history of black magic and forbidden curses.  Followed by the Hexes, charms and potions, Mythical creatures, and stopping with the Enochian and Demonic hieroglyphs.  Page by page you devoured each and every single word and symbol.  You also took down some notes to ask John and Serafina to go in more depth about when you didn’t understand something.

You practically swallowed every bit of information you could. Of course Serafina would come in when it got so late that she felt you deserved a break and you could continue your readings tomorrow night.  Exhausted and tired from only reading a quarter of all six books, you allowed her to guide you back to your room and you just passed out right there on your bed. Not even bothering to change out of your clothes.

Weeks passed and by around the second week of May you finally finished reading all the books that your new ‘Professors’ had assigned you to do.  At first you thought they would then teach you how to do magic but wrong-o! Now it was quiz time.

Thankfully it wasn’t a written quiz, but your worst fear was that it was oral.  The three of you would walk around the gardens or go down to the lake and they both would quiz you on things from each of the books.

Like today for instance, you three were at the lake walking all around the perimeter of it and John asked you.

“True or false: A witch or wizard can freely mess with time without consequences. Say if they were to meet themselves from a past experience they had a week ago like talking to yourself when you had pizza?”

“False. It is forbidden for a witch of wizard to be seen by anyone at all when they mess with time. Terrible things can happen to wizards and witches who mess with time.” You answer.

“Correct. And—who was the first ever wizard to exist in history?” he asked again.

“Merlin. Born at the beginning of 24 AD. And he had three apprentices that made up the royal wizard bloodline that exists today.”

“And who were the three apprentices?”

“Balthazar, Morgana, and Archimedes.”

“That is absolutely correct.” John said impressed.

“Little fun fact, John here comes from Balthazar’s bloodline.” Serafina said.

“Really?”

“Yep. He is John’s great, great x11 grandfather.”

“So you’re like one of the royal wizard’s? That’s so cool!”

“It’s really not. Believe me I never really liked my own family history. At least up to a point. Don’t get me wrong Balthazar was a powerful wizard and a good one too. Never dabbled in black magic unlike Morgana the traitor. Thank god I’m not related to her.”

“I think we all are.” Serafina said.

“What about you Serafina? Are you tied with the royal bloodline?”

“Oh no, no. Not at all. My family—” she trailed off as she looked down at the lake.  Her eyes distant and solemn.  But quickly she recovered herself and said, “my family came around after the ties were broken. Long after Morgana’s betrayal.”

“After sealing Morgana away and burying his mentor and brother’s bodies, Balthazar was the only leading wizard to teach the rest of the witches and wizards of England. Soon families just started sprouting out but each of them had destined tasks to perform for the kingdom of Balthazar.” John explained.

“Now onto your knowledge of mythical creatures.” Serafina now took over for the quizzing. “Name the two weakness of a harpy.”

“You first need to strike them at the heart, but to fully be rid of them, you need to burn the body with fire.”

“Mm-hmm. Now which dragon is known to be the strongest? Fire or ice?”

“Fire.”

“Ahh! Which one? Blue fire or normal fire?”

“Blue fire because it’s hotter than even a bolt of lightning.”

“Correct. I dare say you must be as clever as I was when it came to magical creatures.”

“I’ve got a question.” John suddenly spoke up. “What is the one way to kill a Nokken?” we then heard an offended nicker as just ahead of us was a horse.  But it was made of pure water.

“John Richard Deacon! You know how Roger hates you asking that question.” You turn and could see Roger’s pure white glowing eyes narrowing down at John.

“I’m merely just asking a question. And Nokks are known to have one weakness and I’m curious to know if (Y/n) knows it.” The two of them turned towards you and you say.

“Well uhh—their one weakness is. Wait don’t tell me don’t tell me I know it!”

You all were so focused on your answer that you didn’t see Roger slowly walking up towards the three of you still in his water horse form. He silently snuck up and stood behind John who had no idea just who was behind him.  You stop answering as you just stare at John.

In a split second, Roger grabs John by the sleeve of his shirt and threw him in the lake.  John let out a cry as he was thrown like a ragdoll into the water before coming up for air.

Roger then pranced around behind Serafina whinnying out what sounded like a laugh.  He then reared up as he continued to neigh and whinny.  Both you and Serafina couldn’t help but laugh as Serafina said.

“I told you love. He doesn’t like that question. Especially coming from you.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah ha-ha you got your laugh. You happy now Roger?” Roger set back down and his head bowed lowly, but his eyes still narrowed slightly at the wizard.

“That’s a Nokken’s weakness. Saying their name. In some aspects it’s been known to be the very thing to kill them. But for this cheeky stallion here it gets him to calm down.” Serafina tells you.

“Now this may not be my place to ask but I’ve gotta know. I mean Rog did kinda say it but I wanna hear it from you Serafina. Has he ever won at winning you over? Cause the book said that Nokken’s power over women is impossible to break. Even married women who have claimed to love their husbands have fallen prey to the Nokk’s powers.”

“I’ll admit when I first met him he was—charming, attractive, and cheeky. Like he is now.” Roger then came over nickering softly as he gently nudged her back with his head. “And I’ll also admit I did fall for his spell so it’s not like I was immune to it. But my love for John was stronger. And when I called out a few various names to free myself from this cheeky stallion’s control, I called out the name Roger and from there I was freed. He let me go. And returned back to the waters, never again to take me as his prey.”

“But he still flirts with you whenever he can. Much to my dismay.” John says as he finally gets himself out of the water. “Even though he was one of the witnesses to our wedding.”

“Yes but it’s a playful flirt. Trust me my love when I say that I’ve seen him flirt. And what he does around me is not flirting.” Roger nudged her head softly with his as he nickered lovingly.  His glowing eyes closing and his ears bent backward as she placed a hand under his muzzle, stroking it.

Roger then suddenly melted away.  His horse shape turned into nothing but a puddle but you saw it move right underneath Serafina’s feet.  Soon his horse form came back as she was now riding on top of Roger’s back.  She giggled and said.

“Not now you cheeky stallion. Maybe later, right now (Y/n) needs to continue their quizzing.” Roger huffed annoyed and looked up at her with pleading eyes. “No, no, no. No. No and no.”

“You know he’s not gonna stop. Why not you go and indulge him for a while, I can handle the quizzing for today.” John said as he snapped his fingers and dried himself off.

“You sure?” she asked him.

“Yes, yes, yes no go on before I change my mind. Besides he could do with the exercise, he’s gotten fat in this form.” Roger then roared in John’s face.  His tail twitched in anger as he also snorted in John’s face.

“Steady Roger, steady.” Serafina eased him as she stroked his strong and powerful horse neck.  Roger immediately calmed down as he closed his eyes once more and straightened himself up. “That’s my boy. Now you want to go for a ride?” Roger huffed pridefully. “Then give me a ride I won’t forget.” Then with a flick of his water-like body, Roger and Serafina took off running down the lake and soon disappearing out of sight.

“And you’re sure that wasn’t flirting?” you ask him.

“He just does that to irk me at times. But I trust Serafina, plus all that there was just him wanting to get his way like a child having a tantrum.”

“It’s just from how you and Serafina are with each other, I’d hate to think a so called friend would get in the way of that.”

“I appreciate that someone at least agrees with me but you shouldn’t worry yourself over. A Nokken’s name is a powerful thing, once one has power over it, their spell is broken. And since Serafina spoke his real name, he won’t try anything. It’s their law. Come along, I think we’ve had enough fresh air for today, we’ll continue the quiz inside and wait for them to arrive back.” John then guides you back to the mansion and you proceed with the quiz inside.

*May 19th, 1926*

A month into the magic lessons, it was then you were finally deemed ready to perform some real magic.  First up was basic levitation spells.  With Serafina’s old wand, you and her were outside in the garden trying to levitate a feather.

“Now remember; the key to getting the spell to work is not just pronouncing the spell correctly, but also in the wrist.” She waved her wrist before flicking it downward in a fluid motion as she said. “Wingardium Leviosa!” soon enough the feather levitated in the air then as her hand glowed red, she allowed the feather to dance around in the air.

She set it back down and said.

“Okay, now your turn.” Taking a deep breath in then exhaling you follow the motion she did before to get the spell to work.

“Wingardium Leviosa!” you point her wand down at the feather but it just sits there.  Still as a statue.

“Again.” She told you.  You try it again but again the feather doesn’t move.

“It’s not working!” you whined.

“It takes time. John and I didn’t get it on the first try. No witch or wizard does. Plus I think I know what the problem is.”

“What?”

“It’s the way you’re saying it.”

“But I’m saying it the way you told me to say it.”

“Yes but that’s not what I was referring to.” She tells you. “You’re saying the spell like you’re impatient at a dog or cat when they keep doing something wrong. You are the only you in this whole universe, which makes your own form of magic that much unique. So John and I can give you the books, teach you the right spells but that last 1%. Comes from you.”

“So if I mean what I say, the spell will work?” she nodded softly. “How do I find that out?”

“It’s in there somewhere. You just have to concentrate and reach deep down. Now deep breath in.” you inhale deeply. “Slowly out.” You exhale slowly. “Wand at the ready.” You raise your hand and point it at the feather. “Concentrate. Reach deep within, and say it.”

“Wingardium Leviosa!” you say proudly.  Soon enough the feather slowly raises itself up.  You stand there with bated breath as it continues to raise up before finally dancing along the breeze. “I did it.” You mutter.  You let out a laugh, “I did it! I actually did it!”

“Well done, (Y/n). You’re on your way to becoming a bonified (witch/wizard).” Serafina praises as she catches the feather with her left hand and places her right hand on your shoulder.

“I wouldn’t have done it without you and John. Thank you, Professor Serafina.” She nods at you with a soft smile.

A/N: Lots of spoilers for Spiderman Homecoming.

Part 1          Part 2         Part 3         Part 4

Things had been awkward since Peter found about your father being Tony Stark. At the time, the two of you tried to joke, saying that you found out he was Spiderman and he found out you were a Stark. It evened out, so you thought. Maybe it wouldn’t have been so awkward if Tony hadn’t asked you to watch over him. When Peter found out about that, he seemed slightly offended, but acted as if it didn’t bother him.

About two months had past and you were still worried that it wouldn’t be the same between you and Peter. You managed to defend him from Flash, who took pleasure claiming that Peter is lying about his Stark internship. Flash then turned to you and stated that you were lying about being a Stark. You let him say what he wanted, but the whole school knew when Happy, Tony’s well known body guard, picked you up from school.

Since he was selling the tower and focusing on moving the valuables to the facility upstate, Tony had been too busy to do anything with you lately. Even when he wasn’t busy, he was traveling to places that you wished you could see. He reasoned with you that, once you were out of school, he’d take you anywhere you desired, but with how little you’ve seen him lately, you wouldn’t be surprised if the promise suddenly slipped his mind.

The Academic Decathlon team was how you distracted yourself from missing your dad, even if you joined solely because of Peter and Ned. Nationals were in D.C. and as Liz Allan quizzed us during the bus ride, Peter answered his phone. He looked at you with exasperated eyes before mouthing, “Happy”. You knew about the tracker they had in his suit so you only nodded sympathetically and snatched the phone out of his hand. “Happy, we’re on our way to Nationals in D.C. I swear that we’re fine.”

The overprotective bodyguard retorted, “I would have appreciated some warning from your end about this.”

“I don’t have to tell you where I’m going all the time,” you groaned, “Besides, I didn’t want to worry you while moving.” Tony had signed the permission form a while ago and, since it’s only you in the penthouse, you didn’t feel the need to tell Happy. You noted that he called Peter before you.

Happy grumbled a bit before saying something along the lines of “It sounds fine” and hanging up. You handed it back to Peter who smiled at you with relief. It was weird because Peter wanted to hear from Happy since the civil war. You looked at him curiously and he tried to act casual, going back to the reviewing. Turning to Ned, you asked, “Is Peter alright? 

“Yeah, of course,” Ned stuttered, “Why wouldn’t he be okay? He’s probably just worried about the Decathlon.” 

You shrugged it off and paid attention to Liz’s next question. She looked at the notecard and asked loud enough so everyone could hear, “When plutonium -239 decays to uranium -235, what type of radiation is emitted?”

“Alpha,” you called from the back. Liz smiled widely and nodded, clearly confident in the team. It meant a lot to her, so you were determined not to screw up.

The quizzing continued until the bus arrived to the hotel that was right outside D.C. To your surprise, Michelle offered to room with you. You didn’t know her that well and only said that you weren’t as annoying as some of the people she could have roomed with would be. You took it as a compliment and didn’t acknowledge it anymore. 

Somehow, after being in the same room as her, Michelle managed to get you into a book she was reading. You legitimately could not put it down, which made her laugh a bit at how enamored you were with the book. You rolled your eyes and knew that you wanted to be friends with this girl, despite her blunt comments. 

Meanwhile, Peter and Ned were tinkering with his suit and came across the training wheels protocol. Peter begged Ned to disable it, but it said an administrator’s password was needed. Ned asked, “Great, what are we going to do now?”

Peter shook his head, thinking about his options. A few moments later, his eyes lit up with the answer. He picked up his phone with a smile. “Lucky for us,” he stated while typing, “The daughter of an administrator happens to be a few rooms next to us.” Your name popped up and he hit call.

You were still distracted by your book so Michelle stated, “Your phone’s ringing. Looks like it’s Peter.” She pulled a face at the mention which made you laugh before picking up your phone. “Yeah, Peter?”

“Y/N! What’s going on?”

The question made you furrow your eyebrows. “Oh, you know,” you replied sarcastically, “Stripping to our underwear and having a pillow fight.” Michelle made a disgusted face at the mention. “The usual. How about you?”

“Hacking into the Pentagon,” Peter replied just as sarcastically.

“Touche.”

“Y/N, do you trust me?”

That confused you, but you answered surely, “Definitely. Why?” At that point, Liz was at the door, trying to convince Michelle to go swimming so no one was listening. 

Peter hesitated, “Could you give me your father’s password?” Before you could even say anything, he started to ramble, “I accidentally sent this embarrassing email and I just want to delete it before he sees it. It’s so stupid, but I really don’t want him to think I’m a dumb kid that can’t use his own email.”

You interrupted him, “Peter, promise me that you won’t tell anyone or use it for something else, okay?”

In his room, Peter looked guilty, but he looked at his suit again and his want to prove his worth returned. If that meant lying to possibly the girl of his dreams, so be it. “I promise, Y/N.” You told him the password, trusting Peter completely. He had been your best friend for a while now and, even though things were less than ideal, you still had some feelings for him. You knew that he was stressed out about proving himself so if giving him a password to delete an email would calm him down, you’d do it.

After getting the password, Peter gave it to Ned, who looked at him with wide eyes. He couldn’t meet his friend’s eyes and only sighed, “I know. She’ll be furious.”

“You’ll be lucky if Y/N’s only furious, dude,” Ned replied as he entered the password and unlocked the suit’s full ability. 

After giving Peter the password, you were a little nervous when he hadn’t shown up for the decathlon. The team didn’t need him, since Michelle managed to win it for them. After a quick celebration, the team decided to get a tour of the Washington Monument. Despite being willing to stay with Michelle on the ground, she seemingly examined you and gestured to the entrance. “Go see it.”

In line for security, Ned was talking to someone on his phone when you thought you heard Peter’s voice. Before you could ask, Liz took the phone and asked him where he was and if he was alright. You leaned in slightly to see if you could hear anything, but you were forced to go through the detector and then enter the elevator.

As chaos ensued in the elevator, the all too familiar Spiderman showed up, just in time. Everyone managed to get out, although there were a few scares along the way. When you finally got out, Spiderman stared at you for a while, as if he was thinking or perhaps listening to someone. You were confused as to why Peter would stay there for so long, let alone look at you. Before he could do or say anything, the web connecting him to the ceiling snapped. As he fell down the elevator shaft, Mr. Harrington, the teacher in charge of the academic decathlon team, yelled down, “Thank you!”

When Peter started avoiding you after the trip, you were incredibly furious. He had only pretended things were normal so he could get your dad’s password for his stupid email problem. You thought, since he was your friend before he found out who your dad was, that he wouldn’t try to exploit you. You apparently thought wrong.

While you felt sorry for yourself, you had no idea how much larger the seemingly infinitesimal situation was. It started after school when you were doing your homework in the tower, possibly for the last time. Tony, who you haven’t seen in weeks, stormed into the room in his Iron Man suit. He exited the suit and you knew that he was angry at something. You wouldn’t have guessed you until his glare met your eyes.

“What did I ask you to do?” He seethed, making you jump slightly, “I asked you to watch over him. Make sure the Spider boy doesn’t get into any trouble.” You didn’t trust yourself to say anything when your dad was this mad at you. “What, did he beg for you to give him my password so he could hack his way into a multimillion dollar suit and chase after guys with alien tech?”

Your eyes grew wide at what he had said. Shaking your head, you muttered, “Peter wouldn’t do that. He wouldn’t lie like that.”

“Well, guess who just saved him from being ripped apart because he was meddling where he shouldn’t have meddled? All because you couldn’t say no to him.” Tony crossed his arms and stayed further away from you. “What made you think giving him my password was a great idea?”

Glaring at your clenched fists, you sighed to yourself. Peter had used you. Used you to get all the features in his suit unlocked. He could have gotten killed because of you. “He told me that he sent you an embarrassing email and wanted to delete it. He lied to me.” You slowly unclenched your hands as the anger turned to sadness. “I knew he shouldn’t have found out about you.”

“So you knew him before the airport fight?” Tony groaned, “So of course you would give the password to your dear friend.” He rubbed his face, deep in thought. “That’s it. I’m pulling you out of there.” You began to protest, but Tony wasn’t hearing any of it. “You’ll be at the facility now and I’ll find you a different school.” He walked back to his suit before grumbling, “I have to talk to a certain boy about his suit.”

With that, he left the room to fly off and meet Peter. You hadn’t realized you were holding back tears until they fell from your eyes. Your first conversation with your dad in a while and it was that mess. Trying to focus on homework was pointless, especially since you weren’t going back to Midtown anymore. Your own fault. Only smart people should go to Midtown.

On the rooftop, Peter was shocked when Tony Stark actually came out of the suit. He thought Tony was still away, not caring what was happening in New York. Tony had calmed down from his discussion with you and pieced together that Peter had hurt you by using her to get into the suit. “So, using my daughter to hack your way into a multimillion dollar suit? How did that work out for you?”

“Mr. Stark, I swear Y/N knew nothing about it,” Peter said quickly, not even bothering to defend himself.

“Oh, I know,” Tony scoffed, “I had hoped that you wouldn’t have tricked her, but I don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

He asked in a quiet voice, much different from his confident tone when he thought that Mr. Stark wasn’t there, “What do you mean?”

“I’m pulling her out of Midtown as soon as possible,” he stated, “Hopefully before the end of the week. She’s going to be leaving in the upstate facility and I’ll find a new school there.”

Once he heard those words, Peter’s heart felt as though it was in his throat. “Upstate?” He merely repeated, unable to process that he had forced you to leave Midtown. You had mentioned something about convincing your dad to let you stay in the penthouse, but that plan didn’t seem to work.

“Upstate. Further away from all this.” If Tony noticed Peter’s guilty expression, he didn’t show any sort of sympathy when he took the suit away from him.

As he walked home in the oversized t-shirt and Hello Kitty pajama pants, Aunt May was waiting for him, furious since he left school and had been keeping secrets from her. When she asked what was going on with him, Peter looked up sadly. “I lost he- t-the Stark internship,” he corrected himself and took a seat, obviously distressed.

May’s expression softened, since she knew how much it meant to him. “What?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, what happened?”

Peter began shaking his head slightly. “I just thought I could work really hard and he-” His head began getting lower and lower as he tried to explain what happened without actually saying what made him Spiderman was taken away. He took a deep breath. “I screwed up.” May began to comfort him and he spent the rest of the night regretting not just losing his Spiderman suit.

By the time Tony returned to the tower, you were in the same room, asleep. Despite your room in the tower, Tony found you in the most uncomfortable position. Your head was slung forward onto the table and barely cushioned by your arms, homework surrounding you. Upon closer inspection, he saw the dried tears on your face and bags under your eyes. He knew you had trouble sleeping, most likely due to the stress that being a part of his life brought.

Gently, Tony nudged your shoulder. “Come on, Y/N,” he said softly, “Let’s get you to bed.” You probably wouldn’t remember it since you were so young, but Tony used to say that to you every night. He smiled as he remembered the few memories he had with you when you were a toddler.

Your eyes fluttered open slowly, raising your head from the table. Offering Tony a tired smile, you merely nodded. As Tony led you to your room, you thought about what he might have done to Peter. You settled in bed, but before Tony left, you asked, “Are you mad at me?”

“No, Y/N,” Tony answered truthfully, “I was scared that the kid could have died. You’re a bright kid, but you’re still just a teenager.” There was a moment of silence. “Are you mad at me for making you a part of this world?”

“Not even for a second.” With that, you fell asleep, completely dead to the world. Tony smirked to himself before closing the door.

The next morning, you didn’t go to school since you had to gather all your things that were scattered between the penthouse and the tower. Tony was still going to keep the penthouse, but he was going to permanently reside upstate and, as he told you when you asked, as your legal guardian, Tony couldn’t leave you by yourself there. By the end of the day, you were situated in the facility.

The facility was very nice and secluded. Michelle, who somehow got your number, texted you like she didn’t care, yet still wanted to know where you were. You smiled at the wording and texted back requesting to meet up sometime so you could borrow more of her books.

Then Ned texted you, asking if Peter was right about you not coming back. Your dad must have told Peter that you weren’t coming back and you knew already that Tony took the suit. Peter had lost his suit, but he didn’t lose his powers. You had a feeling that this wouldn’t be the last you heard of Spiderman. You reassured Ned that you’d still hang out, but he seemed discouraged.

As for Peter, you hadn’t heard from him at all. That hurt you the most. He hasn’t tried to apologize in any way for breaking his promise and putting you in a compromising position with your dad. Your hopes of actually hearing from Peter ever again were crushed. To distract yourself from him, you spent a few days focusing on moving fully into the facility.

After Peter’s eventful Homecoming, Tony told you immediately his plans to invite Peter to the Avengers. You were ecstatic for Peter, but you knew Peter well enough to know his ambitious nature wasn’t nearly as strong as he made it out to be. You didn’t think Peter would join the Avengers any time soon.

The next time you saw Peter caught you off guard. You were merely moving some boxes around to bring into your room. Passing the foyer of the facility, you glanced down quickly, but was not expecting to see a familiar set of brown eyes. The box you were carrying slipped from your hands and unfortunately happened to land on your foot. A sharp pain shot through my foot and you leaned against the wall, wincing. “Y/N!” Peter yelped from the bottom of the stairs.

“I’m good,” you mumbled back. As fast as you could, you practically limped back to your room, leaving the box in the hallway. Peter looked at your retreating figure like he had been defeated. Tony was about to divert the reporters’ attention when he noticed Peter’s look of misery. He approached him and clapped a hand on his back. “Now, I’m not going to promote chasing after my daughter,” Tony told the startled teen, “But, since there are certainly worse boys she could be with, I am here to inform you that Y/N isn’t going to just forgive and forget unless you try or show some determination. She can hold a grudge for years.”

Looking at Tony, Peter asked curiously, “How do you know?”

“You’re looking at a survivor,” he stated casually, “But it took a while, if you’re willing to put in the time.”

He stuttered, “I meant h-h-how did you know about m-my-”

“Feelings for Y/N?” Tony finished, “I have eyes.” His expression turned serious as he looked at the teenager that had hurt you just a week ago. “Are you going to try?”

Peter looked up to the hallway before returning his stare to his idol. He nodded as he answered firmly, “With all my being, Mr. Stark.”

Clapping his shoulder again, Tony chuckled, “Right answer, kid.” At that time, Tony decided that Peter would be good for you, especially if he was that persistent at fifteen. Squaring his shoulders, he smiled at Pepper before joining her with the reporters, leaving Peter in the foyer. Peter was lost in thought before Happy nudged and guided him to the car to go back to Queens.

Follower: literally no one asked for a depressing ass life update

Me; …… lol you wild anyways

I hate not being able to ask for help and i hate not being able to stand up for myself. Growing up i was thrown into a lot of fights between my parents and i always felt like i had to pick a side and stick to it and i usually sided with my mom for reasons we dont gotta get into rn so me and my mom have been super close like my whole life. She was all I had for most of my life because i was a kid playing parent since my mom worked a lot and my dad wanted to do whatever he wanted, so imagine little me barely out of elementary school trying to make sure my 5 year old brother is doing homework and the angry 8 year old isnt being a complete asshole to the 5 year old. I never really got to just be a kid cause i was making sure the house wouldnt fall apart under our feet, so now that im being thrown to the wolves as far as growing up goes I don’t think its fair that when i ask for help i get looked down on and belittled and get looked at like im some stupid kid, like, i was never allowed to just be a stupid kid so how come now that im 18 and dont know how to do everything immediately am i suddenly a stupid kid who probably cant make it in the real world? Its bullshit and not fair. Tbh its not just that i cant ask for help with cause growing up i thought asking for help meant weakness and i had to be strong cause i was the oldest and asking for help meant stressing out my mom even more than she was cause she had a hard time putting food on the table by herself.

As for standing up for myself, okay i havent hidden that my mom hasnt been supportive in any way after i came out cause i try to cover it up with humor, but like, she was my best friend for so many years when i had no one else to lean on (and thats a story for another day tbfh) she was like all i had. She was supportive of my writing even when it sucked and when i wanted to be a teacher but its like she did a 180 or some shit. Okay so when i switched to wanting to do psych she was kinda like “okay but make sure a certificate will be transferable or whatever” and one time i said how i THOUGHT about MAYBE doing english as a major cause i love writing and i thought maybe i could start up a publishing company that mostly published books centered around minorities cause that seemed like something id enjoy tbh, but she shitted all over even the thought of majoring in english just like “What job could you possibly get with an english degree?” and her friend, with an english degree, told me an English degree is basically useless and like??yes i understand english isnt the most employable degree but maybe i want more to life than a job, maybe i wanted to do something im passionate about or something (dont get me wrong im really passionate with my current career path but still it was an idea i was really into and wanted to learn more about and i still wanna double major but besides the point) I couldnt even explaing why i was thinking about that major i kinda defulted to head down, shoulders drop, say “yeah maybe you gotta point” and like thats not fair to me i dont think. That was the start of the slippery slope of her becoming more and more unsupportive with everything i do. I didnt apply to that many schools and most the final 2 were Elizabethtown College and University of Bridgeport, Etown was way more expensive and i kinda didnt want to go there tbh but they said i could apply for free so i did. Now for college i did EVERYTHING myself. I looked up colleges, compared prices and scholarships, took notes on all the majors and minors i thought i could want, applied on my own and anything else I did by myself. Looking back i realize i probably shouldve applied to more schools or looked more at the professors or something, but i didnt cause i didnt know to, but she gave me such a hard time with UB. She complained about everything about it until i finally said “fine ill just go to county and then Rutger or something” (which isnt a bad plan and wouldve saved me a shit ton of money but i wanted to get tf away from jersey) Thats when she said fine and said she’d help financially (even though the loans getting transfered to my name after i graduate but okay). So there was kinda a wedge in our relationship but nothing huge we were still pretty close but we just ignored certain subjects like school and shit. Then in the summer she gave me hell for not working like we agreed i wouldnt work during the school year cause i speant so much of junior year wanting to kill myself and was so fucking depressed we, as in the both of us, decieded on that, than in the VERY begining of summer i broke my fucking ankle, so i couldnt really walk anywhere and i dont drive (side note, i hate when driving gets brought up because just sitting behind the wheel gives me so much anxiety, like yes its a good skill to have but i cant drive so please leave me alone i hate myself for it enough) Plus i speant a majority of the summer super depressed and anxiety ridden and kinda scared about a lot of stuff.So it was nice to hear i was lazy and ungrateful when somedays it took everything to get out of bed to feed myself let alone clean up around the house. Also as a certified Millennial™  I cover my self hatred and depression with jokes and memes o the one day i make a joke about it and she said “you dont really hate yourself, you wouldnt know what that feels like” Okay 1. I most definetly hate myself just cause i dont walk around super edgy and emo doesnt mean i stopped critizing my every action, just cause you dont notice me not letting myself eat/eating everything in sight doesnt mean i dont wish i looked like literally anything else. No i hate myself i just cover it up so fuck off.

Then theres coming out (which gets its own paragraph cause its a fucking mess). I came up via a letter that i left in her room and she didnt say anything for maybe a week so i speant a week with my defult being panic attack or “maybe everythings gonna be okay i mean she hasnt really said my name i dont think and maybe everythings okay and youre just freaking out for nothing” but nope we had a talk and if you dont know apperently you have to know right out of the womb that your trans. My moms best friend has a niece whos trans and she was given so much shit from the adults in her life just and still does (this kids literally 14 and they treat the poor girl like such shit its awful) and i was never into sterotypical “boy things”. I didnt like sports other than soccer but only for fun, I was very much the quiet kid who usually had his nose in a book, so i think that mixed with seeing this little girl treated like trash by people we both loved and looked up to (cause my moms best friends family is kinda like a second family to me) i never thought that could ever be me. Later in life i questioned my sexuality and looking at a bunch of terms and things some of them related to me, but i thought no ill put that on the back burner for now just cause maybe im just projecting/thinking about it too much rn. Then even later in life Kate came out to me and we talked and i noticed some similarities in what she said to what i felt, so i looked up terms and definitions and took online quizzes almost all day everyday to figure out what was going on with me. Almost as long as i known Kate shes been my safe person, especially with this just in case I realized no this isnt who i am or whatever, but either way Kate was a huge support and great person to rely on and my fears and other stuff. After more constant quizzes and reading and asking myself if i just wanted to be a *~special snowflake~* and testing waters and shit I decieded yes this is who i am...shit im gonna have to come out. My mom basically said “you arent trans, youre making this up and being ridiculous. Im not calling you that name and i wont call you he/him and that hurt a lot. Like she didnt even say Alexander she said “whatever name you put”. Mind you im absolutely heart broken cause i thought if anyone my mom would be supportive. She offered if Kate ever wanted she could crash with us and she calls her best friends niece the right name, but when it came to me she thought it was fake. Now at this point im trying not to cry out loud and im clenching my jaw so hard it hurt till the next afternoon. I dont know if its just me or what, but it feels like after that shes rubbing it in. It feels like shes using my birth name more and saying she/her and shit. She also acted like i was an idiot like i know that changing my name is a process, but she also said if any of my college stuff had Alexander on it she wouldnt help pay for it which really hurt. I really try to ignore/avoid her just cause it hurts less than figurative slaps to the face its like, *slap* girl, *slap* birthname, *slap* liar, *slap* making it up, *slap* thats not how it works, *slap* youre being disrespectful as hell, *slap* you arent a boy *fucking uppercut*, but i cant always ignore her which leads to tonight.

My cousins had like a little party for their birthday and it was awful for me (in their defense im not out to them but still it makes me super uncomfortable but its not their fault really). We looked at baby pictures so it was a lot of “omg look how pretty you were” and “oh my goodness i love that dress you look so beautiful there” Then my hair, of course got brought up and people were like “oh you know girls are so much prettier with long hair” and “when are you gonna grow it back out like hers?” (cause you know girls HAVE to have long hair *sarcasm*) so i just kinda awkwardly laugh and change the subject. Of course my moms pointing out all the pictures of me in a dress or with long hair or whatever. Then it was super fun picture time!! I hate pictures (that i dont take cause those are under my control and shit) for a lot of reasons. I always feel like i look fat and i notice everything thats “feminine” about my body and we already went over the self hate thing but still i hate pictures and im visibly uncomfortable while theyre happening. Someone says “oh stop youll love them in 20 years” like or ill hate them cause ill remember being so uncomfortable and so ready to walk home and ill remember not being able to forget that my whole family will probably always think im a girl no matter what i do. Then we get on to college. Im the first to go to college and everyone was like where are you going, what are you majoring in blah blah blah. So i answer their questions and be a polite kid. And everytime someone asked when i was leaving my mom jumped on it “3 weeks from today!!” like shit so by the end of the night my binders starting to get uncomfortable, im socially tired, ive been uncomfortable for 20 minutes, and im hating the amount of hugs im getting cause i can feel my boobs more than and shit. So someone said something about me leaving so i was like “you still have like a month” and of course my mom goes “3 weeks!!” so im fucking annoyed by everything and like just ready to go to CT now so im like “we get it your counting down the days i leave” and she got an attitude so i turn to my uncle and say im about to make it 2 weeks and shes like how about 1? So i just shrug and say okay bye like im unfazzed right now. Then we go drop my brother off at our dads and as soon as we pull away shes yelling at me about my “attitude lately” like what??!! Youve ruined so much for me lately im allowed to be angry! You destroyed my confidence about coming out. You made me feel like something was wrong with me. YOU completely destroyed our relationship and maybe i did too, but you know what?! Im completely justified in being uncomfortable around you! When my 14 year old brother (who has been really amazing and apologized for having to call me my birth name which he didnt have to cause he knew im only out to a handful of people but it was still sweet of him) asked how you were about this you said what you said to me which is fucking bullshit!! Youve treated me like shit lately and youll walk in and start nagging/complaining/yelling at me cause you dont know how to handle your angry which ive delt with for so fucking long!! Like when am i allowed to be mad at you?! When am i allowed to say no ive had it with your bullshit?!! But of course i dont know how to actual articulate this without a huge fight going off cause those just trigger a huge anxiety attack and shit and screaming and fighting is something i avoid at almost every cost because its scary to me fo a million and three reasons. Like im so ready to burry my ass in debt just to keep out of this house like i dont want to be anywhere near here. I dont wanna come home ever. I want to stay in CT forever just so i dont have to deal with this shit which i know probably isnt healthy but whatever i dont care anymore she gives me so much shit i dont care.

But i still feel guilty i guess. Ive never been ANGRY at my mom, i rarely fought with her, she was always my rock and i know what certain holidays, mostly Christmas, mean to her, but i dont know if i can bring myself to come home just to be around her so much and fall back into being called my birthname or she/her or whatever. I dont know i feel bad not wanting to come home because the boys moved in with our dad (which i cant do for reasons that dont need to be talked about atm) and i dont want to make her sad cause shes my mom, but i dont want to hurt myself because shes my mom, you know?

I dont care about our relationships, me being trans isnt going away a few years (which she told me we could revisit this in a few years like bitch what??!!) wont mean anything except me, once again, doing everything completely on my fucking own! Ill be alone and it feel like almost like i always be alone, like maybe ill go to CT and still wind up with the Fuck Up™ gene being very present in my life. Idk somedays i just feel like maybe no ones supposed to saty in my life, which i dont want to be true cause rn i have some amazing people in my life and im scared theyll leave too just meant to be abandoned and alone or something. The thing is im a sentimental, touch starved, emotional piece of shit and i really love people being consistent in my life and being left alone is such a huge fear of mine and i feel like some of my friends are already disappearing from my life (which i know happens and is natural especially after school but it still hurts to some degree ig)

So yeah lifes kinda full of bullshit right now and i cant wait to move out and study almost year round to avoid being home as much as possible and theres really no reason to this other than for me to complain about life and shit ig

That 12-yr-old screaming at you whilst playing gaming for school

The mud-soaked and fog-covered International Warfare I-stimulated landscapes of Battlefield 1 may be brutal environments. Masses of hundreds of gamers log on every day to shred airborne combatants at the same time as piloting fighter planes like the Pink Baron and gallop throughout the desert like Lawrence of Arabia. But the considerable majority possibly won’t analyze whether or not their aerial acrobatics healthy those of Baron von Richthofen���the ace of aces among WWI’s fighter pilots—or if their barren region warfare approaches rival those of T. E. Lawrence—the British strategist who aided the Arabic fight for independence from the Ottoman Empire.

I am a member of the minority. My first foray into gaming came in center school, and my favorites had been based totally on history: Medal of Honor: Allied Attack; Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings; and the seminal Battlefield name, Battlefield 1942 (Battlefield 1 was launched in Oct. 2016). Early on, I wondered how traditionally correct they virtually were, and as I was given older, I grew more curious approximately how efficaciously records might be taught through the one’s games.

A few university professors, together with Matthew Gabriele of Virginia Tech and Pieter Keulemans of Princeton, have found mainstream video games to be beneficial equipment for coaching Some factors of their subjects and for connecting with students. “video games are a totally new medium, and that I assume it makes me, as a scholar, reconsider the alternative media,” says Keulemans, an East Asian research professor who has used the Dynasty Warriors franchise and other games to assist educate the historic narrative of China’s Three Kingdoms, a struggle-ridden and bloody era of Chinese history.

middle- and high-school teachers use video games as properly. “As a trainer, you’re searching for new ways to connect to youngsters,” says Scott Jackson, who has used Task US—a game advanced particularly for the study room—to train US records to his 11th graders at Brooklyn Global high faculty.

Of path, video games, especially the ones designed basically for mainstream entertainment, will not replace textbooks, ancient documents, and other traditional strategies. “If video games had been the most effective manner you accessed records in a school room, I suppose that could be extremely elaborate,” Keulemans says. “I just see it as one more device.”

There’s not a whole lot studies to be had to prove whether or now not recreation-based mastering even works, in keeping with a 2012 paper that college of Connecticut researchers posted within the Review of instructional studies. The studies which have been finished to date lack a cohesive subject matter or line of inquiry from which to attract any inferences approximately video games’ potential to useful resource students, the paper says.

The paper does cite one exciting 2010 have a look at in which seventy-four undergraduates have been split into corporations: one listened to a history presentation and the alternative played an American Revolution model of Civilization IV. Despite the fact that the examiner discovered no substantial distinction among the know-how received by means of both institution, it did propose that people who performed the game remembered the records longer.

history, however, is a long way more convoluted than the in large part linear narratives of many famous games. Each recreation has a tale it desires to tell, and it tells that story by using getting the participant to complete given goals. An instance storyline from Age of Empires II: 1) Persuade a tribe to enroll in Genghis Kahn. 2) Kill a massive wolf. three) You’ve finished it! Historians, in the meantime, want to understand precisely how things happened, now not just that they passed off.

“video games support that you need to get from A to B. In history, humans made decisions and there has been no assure that they’d make the selection they did,” says Gabriele, who makes a specialty of medieval studies. However as a historian, “you’re looking to get across the messiness of records,” he says.

Players have lengthy had many varieties of games to select from. There are first-character shooters including Battlefield, Call of Duty and Medal of Honor; real-time approach games consisting of Age of Empires; flip-based strategy games together with Civilization; and 0.33-man or woman preventing and adventure games together with Dynasty Warriors and Assassin’s Creed. Every style differs in the way it presents history to Players.

First- and 1/3-individual video games, as an instance, allow Players inhabit characters who stay records as it takes place around them, once in a while making records themselves. games like these can spend a lot of time at the facts—weapons, dates, locations and people—However don’t delve too deeply into why things occurred the manner they did, or on the motivations of the human beings concerned. “They’ve one sort of constancy to the reality, But can help you make counterfactual moves, like assassinate Hitler,” says Leah Potter, a former university records instructor who now works at Electric Funstuff, the corporation behind Project US.

“I come across as a minimum 10 college students Every semester that think history is dull,” says Luke Reynolds, a PhD candidate in records at the Graduate Middle of the City university of recent York who teaches undergraduates at CUNY-Hunter university. “simply giving them a bit little bit of interactivity will draw them in, in a manner a textbook won’t.” As an eleventh grader taking US history in 2005, I was one of these college students. The homework regularly involved reading chapters in a thick textbook—examined by using weekly quizzes—However, I couldn’t force myself to bear such drudgery for any time period. As a substitute, I’d spend hours gambling video games. Then I’d spend hours extra looking the net for any data I could discover approximately what I’d simply seen at the display, which includes whether or not Joan of Arc’s comrade L. A. Hire was as much of a beast as he’s in Age of Empires, or if the fortifications on Omaha Beach truly have been as imposing as they regarded in Medal of Honor. These days, I’m able to handiest vaguely image the textbook (closed, because it spent most of its time), But I will vividly do not forget the video games and what they taught me.

But with recreation developers becoming an increasing number of touchy to historic context and the ever-improving abilities of contemporary technology, A few educators see an actual opportunity for video games to extend their roles inside the study room.
