#third grade teacher

[i-am-a-secret-ssshhh]

One of my favorite bits of trivia about myself is that in the third grade (I was in Kansas at this point), my teachers would take turns reading to the entire grade. (It was three classes per grade, all three classes were in one room and were separated only by imaginary barriers)

One of my teachers had an accent (a very midwestern accent), and she decided to read Little House on the Prairie, this meant that for a long time I thought there was a character named Paul. Until I tried to explain to my mom about Little House on the Prairie and this thing that "Paul" did, and she was so confused.

It took her a good fifteen minutes before she realized I meant "Pa" and not "Paul".

You're an incredible fic writer and I wish I could write you something that you would enjoy.

Thank you!

Here's the thing. Write. Write write write, and then write some more. Every reader is going to enjoy different things. I will admit I'm a fucking snob when it comes to style, so even a lot of published stuff gets five paragraphs out of me before I decide whether to keep going. But writing is a muscle you can hone however you want. You wanna be verbose and dig into details? Lift some weight reading prose you enjoy. Are you aiming for brevity? Read some lyrics, some poetry, dig in there and really see what parts stand out to you that make 20 words feel like a novel.

Write shit that makes you so incandescently angry you title it GARBAGE HEAP DO NOT LOOK. (In five years go back to it and see how much is salvageable)

Write something that makes you weep, or laugh, or even just smile to yourself because you know, you KNOW it's gonna hit someone right in the solar plexus.

Use your own hobbies as jumping off points. Use your interests as heavy handed metaphor.

All I can say for sure is if you wanna write, you gotta... actually write. Sometimes I heed this advice myself, sometimes not. Sometimes I think something in particular is gonna hit and it doesn't. Sometimes I do something I don't even realize that has people pounding on my metaphorical door to yell at me.

Write for you, first and foremost, and then go from there.

early series Wolfe and students dynamic is insane. he wants them all to fuck off forever. he sees his younger self in them. he’d rather be doing anything else. he’ll throw hands with anyone who threatens them. he sent two of them home on the first day by random chance and didn’t care. they’re the future of the library. they’re just kids. he’ll take a bullet for any of them without hesitation. if he has to answer one more stupid question he’ll walk into the sea and never return.

Book one of the My Teacher Is An Alien series: Oooo the substitute teacher you don’t like is an alien! Wacky antics while we try to unmask him! He hates Earth music, so play your flute at him until he breaks!

Book four of the My Teacher Is An Alien series: Three children are tasked with finding evidence of decency and civility on Earth to determine whether the human species is fit to join the galactic council. Through this, they witness the gross excess of capitalism that can allow warehouses of food to waste away while children starve. They see the black heart of cruelty and apathy, and it makes them furious and want to do something to change it. Their findings will determine whether the galactic council will allow the planet to continue developing or if it should be destroyed now before humans develop space flight and start interstellar war. Humans used to be telepathic.

So I was thinking about that modern AU, trying to figure out how to incorporate FCG because robot (literally he's just a pastors son. Duh)

but for some reason my brain said "Ashton's service dog" first. Then I thought about Ashton needing a service dog because of brain stuff. THEN I thought about Ashton needing a service animal AND a mobility aid.

So I'm just living for Ashton in a wheelchair rolling through school. They've got the key to the elevator. They've obviously got a whole dog at school that people try desperately not to pet.

When someone decides to bully FCG (Francis Charles Grady) or Laudna, they get out of their chair to their full height. People freak because they didn't know he could walk or stand. Ashton just shrugs because "you know what they say about assuming"

And when Dorian shows up and asks about it not as tactfully as he probably meant to Ashton pops a wheely and is just like "what's sadder than an orphan with a wheelchair and a service dog? Unfortunately it didn't get me adopted. People just don't want their inspiration porn in house anymore I guess."

And they try to be chill. They try to avoid those harsh topics with their friends because they don't wanna be a bummer. It'd bring down the mood to say "sure I can walk but sometimes my spine is on fire and my calves are full of knives so I don't." It'd suck to say "I can walk fine until I can't." It's not relatable to say "my whole body hurts all the time and if I want to be able to do other things like think, I should probably be sitting."

Slowly their friends get them to understand that they don't have to put on a brave face for them. They don't have to pretend like it doesn't hurt. They don't have to pretend like it doesn't bother them. Their friends care about them. Hell they're even down to help if they can. Anything to make Ashton feel like they are wanted, that they're not a burden.

You ever sub for a class and you’re like who tf is your normal teacher

Show and tell in kindergarten, one girl brings like her nail painting set and so some girls are playing with some of the nail stickers. They want to share with me too so I take them. Some of the boys are looking on from across the room and one of them is like “boys can do that??” and I’m like “well I think people should do whatever makes them happy, don’t you?” and suddenly they all go rushing over

like I’m so sorry your normal teacher doesn’t seem to let you explore life outside of rigid gender roles?? At a school that is supposed to be super progressive about all that??

I've developed a new strategy to countering unhelpful urges to self sabotage out of spite- This approach is 'Would my friends* yell at me** for this?'

So, currently I'm dealing with the ordeal of 'if one more person tells me to drink more water for my chronic illness, as if I don't know my own chronic illness better than they do, then I'm going to intentionally drink as little water as I can for a week in response'. Unfortunately, 1.) I live with people who tell me this often, usually in spats they started, so I'd be drinking... not much water, and 2.) self sabotage is fine and great and fun (not really) until it's at the expense of your own health (really) so I've had to figure out ways to get my brain to back down from this. Because I have gone through with it before to bad results with frustratingly little satisfaction at the end of the spiteful road. Mostly, it just makes me black out more.

The current working strategy for...not-doing-this is 'would my friends yell at me for intentionally dehydrating myself', or 'would my friends yell at me for calling ritz crackers an adequate lunch' or 'would my friends yell at me for telling my parents I'm going on a walk, only to go sit on the curb a block over in January for an hour'? The answer tends to be yes.

Because here's the thing. Will I do health/wellbeing things out of compliance to authority? No. I actively want to do them less every time I'm told to, at this point. It makes me want to become the problem people think I am. HOWEVER, I will do these things for myself, my own future and wellbeing, and for my friends who care about said future and wellbeing. SO FAR this approach of stopping and asking, 'would [friend's name(s)] appreciate this?' actually works really well, because no, they'd absolutely not appreciate me doing that, and I currently value their opinion far more than other people's.

So congrats to my friends for getting me to drink water (or gatorade, or liquid IV or whatever else) by existing!

*This includes mutuals. Feel free to substitute with 'would I get a concerned anon about this?'.

**Note that my friends are lovely and would not actually yell at me <3 Some of them might give me some negative discord react emojis about it though lmfao :drew: :deadash6: :imnotmadimjustdisappointed:
