#this is the funniest thing in the world to me

[ilickedyoursaltlamp]

Did this once with a student who was calling a classmate gay as an insult (first graders). Asked him to tell me why it was funny, if he knew what it meant, and why it was something to make fun of. It didn’t happen again.

saw a tiktok by a male elementary school teacher about how he's realized one issue w/gen alpha boys saying all these awful things is they aren't facing social consequences for it. so much of "boys will be boys" approaches and appeasement have created this. I think one of the reasons my younger brother never engaged in this sort of behavior is because of me rejecting peer pressure and choosing to distance myself from my dad. the worst thing you can do is stay quiet. the fact that teachers are having to come on social media and say "perhaps tell your students it's WRONG to joke about toddlers being raped" or whatever is fucking insane. call me crazy but I do NOT remember it being this bad when I was younger. there was edgy humor yes (for example the r slur was way more normalized) but the type of humor discussed in this post is something i'd typically associate with like, frat guys. I do remember when I was maybe around 6 years old I stumbled across pedobear and thought it was hilarious, problem is the teacher lectured me without even telling me what the fuck the meme is implying or why it's bad. so in part over-sanitizing topics makes things harder as well.

anyway, one teacher mentioned he's been asking the boys why the jokes are funny. this is actually somewhat similar to what I do with my adult coworkers when they say something awful as a joke; I pretend I didn't understand the joke and ask them to explain it. they go quiet and get uncomfortable every time.

cognitive empathy is learned and not born, so speak up whenever you can encourage it, with adults or children.

blowing up ur phone...

─ obsessed bf!gojo x gn!reader ⋆. based on: 22 - lil candy paint, bhad bhabie

gojo had a bad habit.

a bad habit of blowing up your phone.

it wasn’t the 'three texts in a row' kind of blowing up, either.

oh no, gojo satoru didn’t do small-scale chaos.

it was an art form for him. the type of masterpiece that made your phone buzz off your nightstand at 3 a.m. with thirty consecutive messages that alternated between blurry selfies, close-ups of his sunglasses, and texts like:

“hey👋 (with the intention of getting midnight sushi)”

“do u think panda would let me dye him pink? 🤔”

“pick up plzzz i jsut saw the funniest video on instagram but i accidnetally exited tje app it and cant find it anymore so i'm jsut going to explain it to you in detail”

and tonight was no different—except this time, it came after your first real argument.

you couldn’t even remember what had set it off anymore, but it had ended with you storming off and gojo… well, doing whatever gojo does when someone’s mad at him (probably eating mochi and sulking).

soon enough, after an hour or so of no contact, the first barrage had begun: thirty consecutive texts ranging from the initial

“i’m sorry 🥺👉👈”

to a dramatic

“why do you hate me? 😭💔 (don't answer that.)”

you’d ignored all of them, determined to let him stew.

but then the calls begun.

ring after ring, voicemail after voicemail, starting out with intense professions of love that slowly faded into desperate pleas for you to call him back, text him back, to respond just once.

and when those went unanswered too, he escalated.

your phone buzzed on your nightstand, flashing yet another text. this time, it came with a photo—gojo lying facedown on what appeared to be megumi’s couch, his hand clutching an empty box of tissues. the caption read:

“i’ve been crying for 84 years 😢 come back pls”

you rolled your eyes, but the corner of your mouth twitched at the photo despite yourself.

he’s impossible.

another buzz. this one said,

“fine if ur not gonna answer just know ur the light of my life and i’ll literally wither away like an unwatered houseplant if u don’t forgive me soon 😭 also ur socks are still in my room do u want me to wash them or nah”

the buzz after that said,

“actually nah i'm not bothered to wash them"

and then another buzz.

"also ur prettier when ur mad 🥰”

the audacity of this man.

you let your impulses get the better of you and texted back a stern "leave. me. alone."

and not even a second later, your phone screen lit up with gojo's face for the umpteenth time.

you groaned, snatching it up and finally swiping to answer to put an end to all of this.

“gojo, what part of ‘leave me alone’ don’t you understand?!”

“oh my god,” he gasped, his voice overflowing with fake relief. “you’re alive!”

“i—”

“you weren’t answering, so i thought maybe you’d been kidnapped! or fallen down a well! or—”

“i ignored you,” you interrupted sharply. “on purpose.”

“no yeah, i got that,” he said breezily, completely unfazed. “but we're talking now! the devil sure does work hard, but gojo works harderrrrr."

"gojo—"

"so, how much did ya miss me?”

"gojo."

"also did you see my text about the socks?”

"gojo!"

“aaaaand i’m outside your window by the way.”

“you’re what?”

“outside!” he chirped back like it was the most normal thing in the world.

sure enough, when you yanked open your curtains, there he was—gojo satoru, standing on your lawn in a hoodie two sizes too big, clutching a mismatched bouquet of convenience store snacks and flowers that you could just tell he had made himself.

“ta-da~!” he grinned into the phone as you watched him hold up the haul like it was an olympic medal. “i come bearing gifts!”

you gawked at him. “are you serious?”

“deadly,” he said, his smile widening so much you could even see it from your vantage point. “i brought your favourite snacks, and also, i stole these flowers from my neighbour’s garden. don’t tell anyone.”

“oh my god.” you smacked your forehead, torn between laughing and drawing your curtains shut. “it’s three in the morning.”

“yeah, well, you didn’t answer my texts,” he said, pouting dramatically. “do you have any idea how sad that made me? i’m so sad, baby, like, devastated. i swear i saw my life flash before my eyes.”

you folded your arms, mock unimpressed. “what’s sad is that you think this is going to work.”

“it’s already working,” he shot back smugly. “you’re talking to me, aren’t you?”

you hated that he was right. you hated even more that your annoyance was quickly being replaced by amusement. he’s lucky he’s cute.

“toru, just go home,” you sighed, though your voice lacked its earlier venom.

“not until you forgive me,” he declared, dropping to one knee with such theatrics you were surprised broadway hadn't whisked him away already. “or at least let me in so i can grovel properly.”

“you’re unbelievable.”

“yeah. unbelievably in love with you.”

you threw a pillow at the window, even though it wouldn’t reach him, giving yourself a minute to think.

okay, more like a few seconds. to be fair, you were sure he had learnt his lesson. and, well...you were craving ramen, which happened to be placed front and centre in his haphazard bouquet.

“fine!" you whisper-yelled into the phone, a smile already creeping its way onto your face despite your best efforts to stay mad. "but if you wake up my neighbours, i swear i'm locking you out.”

his grin practically lit up the yard. “deal!”

and just like that, you were stomping down the stairs, blanket in hand, ready to let in the most exasperating, ridiculous, adorable man you’d ever met.

because, really, how could you stay mad at him?

Finally a good Lesson! No. 55

Spoiler under the cut~

The beginning was pretty meh still, the subject with Raphael was dropped for the moment with him refusing to talk about his feelings.

Then we skip to the Sorcerer's Society HQ with Satan and Mammon as our "knights" or rather bodyguards.

The reaction of the sorcerers are priceless lol

And the funniest thing happens when you interact with one of them when you thank one for accompanying us!

Sorcerer C confirming MC is popular outside her bubble!

Then we test out magic with some device with Solomon attacking Mammon for the defensive magic to activate, destroying a wall and the device in the process.

Mammon ain't happy, nether am I but that's Solomon for you. At least he apologized beforehand and was smart enough for not attacking Satan lol Imagine the disaster!

And at least Somon got to pay so eh.

Don't mind MC surpassing Solomon. No biggie. We're built that way~

Then we skip to a meeting with Dia, Barbartos to talk about the former event.

Solomon apologizes again.

MC must have the best stink eye. Love the dynamic!

We get an explanation for the power up as well.

We also must appreciate Satan's critical thinking. Was shouting "YES!" I love a man with brains~

Solomon knows why but can't tell them and we finally get a back to the Nightbringer topic, the time travel shenanigans. I was certain the power up from MC was due to the 666 they spun back in Meowcao that didn't get explained but apparently it has to do with having two pacs with the brothers.

I still have a problem with this answer. We know Solomon knows Nightbringer who yet has to make an appearance, he's thrown the player to the past and Solomon claimed to be asked by the brothers to bring us back. Yet when we did get back there was no trace of worry or that we went missing in the first place.

So I believe there was a new timeline created and Solomon's wording "this world" makes me still think this is not the OG timeline. Most events still happened but maybe s1 went a bit different? In Nightbringer Belphegor calmed his hatred for humans so I don't know if the really tried to off MC.

What I'm trying to say is:

So we get this new updated power because Nightbringer sent us back. What good is it for Nightbringer? We somehow must get back to the whole point of the Nightbringer App being created in the first place. We still don't know about that Adam guy we freed. We don't know about Nightbringer, about the Little D's having their own agenda.And if this is truly the OG timeline, how could the double pacts not mess everything up?

Anyway, back to the lesson, because I was rambling.

The next day Raphael went missing, not being in school nor in his room.

Then an earthquake? happens and we get sent to Babel, the place Raphael is guarding.

Maybe he is running ammok? They made a good cliffhanger, let's hope they don't mess it up again. They sure tend to built up and drop the tension the next second.

Bonus:

Diavolo and Lucifer on a date :D And Solomon dropping by but still being all business

He's naturally a bit concerned since MC is human. I still think he has his own agenda tho. He loves MC but still does his own thing. You can't fully trust him. Don't forget that.

the funniest thing to me, now that I think about it

you know how they're like the ultra slow burn? I really meant that when I said I don't know what would be enough for them

BECAUSE THEY'D SOMEHOW PLAY THIS SHIT OFF

like they can lie SO much and make themselves believe SO MUCH their slowburn feels like an episodic comedy by itself by just HOW much the status quo of them not being together doesn't change

now I'm slowly starting to believe if they actually got together it'd be like a world ending event, like something that wasn't meant to happen like, my god, who knows what their cosmic guardian shit can do

Consider SMG3 and SMG4 very competitive staring contest (they just want an excuse to look into each others eyes for an unreasonable amount of time but neither of them will admit this) (They keep challenging each other to rematches over and over and their eyes hurt so bad from not blinking nearly enough. Nobody can get them to stop and they both go blind)

and let's not forget how they'd tease each other

and something tells me that 3 would be very funny saying to 4 like, careful or my rizz might get to you

but in my mind, they will stop

not of their own accord, of course! They just get told by maybe Tari or Boopkins that oh they must have such a strong bond now since looking into each other's eyes is known to deepen relationships

and then Mario comes in like, oh so they're gay?

And they immediately both look towards Mario and not each other so they both lose at the same time, shouting that they're not gay

buuuuuuuuuut..... they would somehooooooooow end up continuing in private

yea it gets weirdly intimate, so does the teasing

not as in sexual but they get really close to actually Talking About How They Both Feel

but fail 😭😭😭 they need to be in deathly danger to admit it I swear

In genetic genealogy there is this thing or concept, how you inherit about 50% of your mother's DNA and about 50% of your dad's DNA, so if you AND both of your parents were to get DNA testing, you could 'make' a (digital) genetic 'sibling' using the other 50% of DNA of either parent that you didn't inherit, and that sibling is called. The evil twin.

One of my favorite things in the LOTR books is Sam being obsessed with Elven magic and wanting to see it and when Galadriel finds out she basically tells Sam "I don't know what the fuck magic is but I can show you the future in this bowl of water if you want" as if that's just a normal ass thing to be able to do.
