I just realized

Over 19 years ago

In maybe 3rd grade

I created a religion in art class

Because we had to make wire statues and I felt like mine needed a back story

And then in middle school I needed to make a mythical artificial and myth for creative writing

And like

I was talking to myself

And I did my double crossing prayer hands fallowed by throwing my hands up and nodding my head and I said

Helven we need to talk

And then it hit me

I've been having conversations with a god I made up over 19 years ago

I blame tic tok and Instagram

Everyone is having less Patience to watch longer shows.

Why watch 20 episode when you can only watch 8?

Why tell a 20 hour story when you can do it in 2?

Why watch a 5 minute tutorial when you can watch a 15 second one?

There's less Patience and less focus these days.

No one is able to sit still and focus long enough to watch a 20 hour story being told even if it's split into 20 part cause that's 16 parts more then they can focus long enough on

With all our technological advancements

We're loosing the magic that Television once brought.

The escape from our lives

The excitement of catching a show together with friends of family

The joy of making a weekly plan to only watch that one show with your loved ones

Now everyone is watching everything in short bursts

Watching the same things but separatly on their own devices

The joy of family viewing is gone and with it the golden age of television.

Also

Give me back the old superman and batman live action tv shows.

That was good viewing

So. The Acolyte is canceled.

Disney seems to not understand that cancelling a show after one season with an unfinishied story will lead to people never starting their tv series.

1. People will wait for at least 2 or 3 seasons otherwise they might never get a complete serie. And this will lead to even more cancellations.

2. We used to wait like 1 year for 20+ eps. Now it s like 8 eps every 1.5/2 years. Be serious people are tired (i mostly blame stranger things for this but yk).

I like what youve done for Luna, but I just worry how Nightmare Moon might be leaning into "Evil Alter" stereotype which is very dangerous stereotype to perpetuate as someone who is not plural/system/has DID or OSDD/ etc. We are not a monolith in opinion so I do suggest looking for good resources from people who are writers and part of those communities if you wanna continue that general route with Luna and Nightmare Moon.

This isn't really fleshed out yet, but I wanna get to how Nightmare Moon isn't actually evil or even the "dark side" of Luna. Luna's arc in the AU would involve negotiating with Nightmare Moon and working to integrate her as a part of their identity, rather than reject and fear her.

do you think solomon would be able to survive a week of not being allowed to call mc adorable? no or no

NO. Big no, lol.

Although this does lead me to wonder why he'd need to stop calling MC his adorable apprentice for a week. Like does the rest of the cast make a bet with him to see if he's capable of going a week without the petname or does Purgatory Hall have an intervention about his excessive use of it?

--

"And then, listen to this! My adorable apprentice used the spell I taught them to whisk the demon away like it was nothing. You should've seen it," Solomon gushes while everyone around him seems to groan and roll their eyes.

"There he goes again with the "my adorable apprentice" thing," Asmo sighs.

Mammon pipes up next. "Yeah! And it's gettin' pretty damn annoyin' too!"

"They're not just your apprentice, Solomon," Satan scolds.

Solomon can't help but chuckle at the stink everyone seems to be making. "What, I can't be thrilled by how MC is exceeding under my supervision?"

"No, you can," Simeon starts, "it's just...you refer to them as your "adorable apprentice" a lot."

"A lot, a lot." Luke adds.

Solomon sits there in silence, soaking up what his roommates are saying. He hadn't realized how often he called MC that, though now that he thinks about it, he can't deny it. When he speaks about them he can't help but be proud.

Belphie then brings up a point mid-yawn. "I bet he couldn't go a week without saying it."

"I second that bet!" Mammon interjects with dollar signs reflected in his eyes.

Lucifer sighs next to him not wanting to entertain this more then he should, but he had to admit that this was probably a bet Mammon could win. "I have to agree with Mammon. You do say it an annoyingly often."

"Ah, so we're betting on this, are we?" Solomon grins, not passing up the opportunity to prove himself while having a little fun. "Fine. I bet that I can go a week without calling MC my "adorable apprentice"." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the Devildom equivalent of twenty dollars and throws it on the table.

"You're on!" Mammon exclaims.

"I believe in you, Solomon!" Luke cheers.

Everyone else follows suit, pooling their money in the middle while declaring their bets. Lucifer, Mammon, Satan, Belphie, and Barbatos all betting he'll lose. Leviathan, Asmo, Beel, Diavolo, Simeon, Luke, and himself betting he'll win.

And so the games begin.

Through the week, he does find it difficult to hold back from using the petname. There are several instances when talking about them almost slips him up, though he's always able to catch himself before saying it. It was a term so used to sitting on the tip of his tongue that it was hard to let go. Everyone goes around to check in with each other and him to make sure he hadn't lost the bet yet. All of them stay surprised at his determination to get through the week, but remain skeptical in his ability to actually see the week through. MC, while oblivious to the bet, has even caught on to the absence of Solomon's petname praise.

It's Thursday during their after school lesson with him when it happens. He'd been quizzing them on the different types of magic and they had correctly named each one. They were even able to identify their own and his without extra prompting. Solomon was so caught up in his pride and love for them that he said it without thinking.

"Fantastic! Just what I'd expect from my adorable appren-" he trails off, his eyes widening as his heart sinks.

He just lost the bet.

MC stares at him, worried as to why he cut himself off like that. "Um...are you okay?"

Solomon stands there silently in defeat before replying solemnly, "I need to go make some phone calls..."

--

"Solomon! Just the sorcerer we wanted to see." Simeon greets once Solomon enters the common room after receiving a text from the group chat calling for an emergency meeting.

Solomon glances around to see Simeon, Luke, and Raphael dotting the room in the sofa and chairs. The odd thing is that they all seem relatively calm. Simeon pats the cushion next to him on the couch with a smile, and Solomon immediately obliges and sits down.

"So, what's the emergency?" he asks.

"Oh, this isn't an emergency," Luke says while swinging his legs. Simeon finishes for him, "it's an intervention."

A brow cocks on Solomon's forehead. "An intervention? Is this about me spending too much time in my room again?"

Simeon chuckles. "No. Although we may need to talk about that sometime soon."

"It's about MC." Raphael says, cutting to the chase.

"MC? Are they alright?" Solomon glances quickly between his friends as worry gnaws at his heart.

"MC's fine! It's about you and your obsession with calling them your "adorable apprentice"." Luke explains.

Solomon pauses, almost tempted to laugh at such an asinine reason to call for an intervention. But he sees the seriousness in everyone's eyes and realizes this is actually happening. "Is this a joke or..."

Raphael shakes his head. "I'm afraid not. You use the term so much that we thought maybe it was time to talk to you about it."

"I don't use it that often," Solomon says, slightly offended by the notion. "I praise them accordingly."

"And accordingly would be...all the time?" Simeon asks with a knowing grin.

"Well, I..."

Simeon got him. Okay, so maybe he had a problem, but it's not like it's a big deal. "Why wouldn't I want to praise them for their hard work as my student? I'm sure you all would do the same."

"Maybe so," starts Raphael, "but there's a difference between being proud and being obsessed."

"Yeah, we're just concerned about you, Solomon," Luke adds.

He sees the worry in the little angel's face and sighs, having no choice but to endure this "talk."

"This is barbaric. A man can't even gush over his apprentice anymore..."

The whole of Purgatory Hall laughs at Solomon's pouty joke before continuing with their intervention.

"They say it takes a month to break a bad habit. From this point forward, when you're speaking about them just assume everyone knows MC is your adorable apprentice," Simeon suggests. "You can praise when praise is due, but you don't need to overdo it."

"Fine, I'll give it a try." Solomon mutters, not happy with the compromise. Deep down he knows he'll be lucky if he lasts a week.

New unstable video dropped, more lives were changed, the usual.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a bad teacher

Like my class has made no progress

And then summer school comes along and I'm always with the older kids (or younger kids who likes me. I will take kids from other classes just to spoil them)

And I see how my old class compares to the older kids and that they can pretty much hold their own.

But I have to spend extra time with other students the same age as my old class, giving them extra help or work just to get them up to where they should be for next year

And I realized

I'm good

I might not do everything like circle time because I prefer to have actual unscripted conversations instead of a scripted conversation and if I can spend a couple more minutes with my kids focusing on their weak areas that's even better.

But almost all of my class is capable of doing what they need to do and ready for the next year.

I am awesome at my job

And I still find it hard to believe

Also

I hate school
