imagine tim drake passing his english lit classes purely because of his stalkerish obsession with jason todd leading to him hacking into jason's laptop and reading all his old lit essays and book blog
#dick: you got an A in english lit? i thought you hated that subject. how'd you manage that?#tim: i had a really good tutor#jason finding out years and years later when he remembers his old blogs and logs back into it to find spams of comments from tim#like 'i got an A in my macbeth paper cause of you!!' 'youre the smartest person ik' 'i got another A' 'i wish you could actually teach me'#and jason freezes like.. why tf did tim find my blog 5 years ago and use it like a tutor#dc#tim drake#jason todd#batfamily#batman#robins

thinking abt a stephcass magical girl 90s-00s vibe shoujo manga with all the tropes. them being childhood best friends, Cass pining for Steph while Steph is completely oblivious bc she's crushing on Tim (she's in her comphet era) and keeps bugging Cass abt which boys she likes (she likes none)
also reverse tuxedo mask situation with Tim where Steph 'crushes' on his civilian identity but hates him as a hero (at least in the beginning)
just endless possibilities for shenanigans and cute shit
#babs is their homeroom teacher#dick is their pe teacher that everyone has a crush on#jason is a senior that tutors cass in english#tim does photography in for the school newspaper#and duke writes for the paper#bruce is the headmaster lmao#yea idk#stephcass#batfam#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#tim drake#dc#dcu#dc comics#my brain

Nik and Verbs.
I feel like Nik would hate Verbs. Like that one meme that goes:
*cue ballroom classical music*
Nik: I hate verbs in English.
*imagine Nik just dancing with Price, ballroom dancing.*
Price, raises a brow, as they dance:
Nik: I dance.
Also Nik, gives Price a peck on the cheek: You dance. He dances.
Nik,lets go of Price suddenly.To point at Graves dancing alone: Why!?
Price, looks baffled af. But before he can say a word Nik goes like:
Nik:*in a quiet voice* is he dancing more than me...?
Price, tries to comfort Nik by putting his hands on Nik's cheeks:
Nik: I don't think so.
Price, very confused:
Nik: six-hundred and forty-five people dance and he dances!?
Graves is still dancing in the background, Kate can be seen trying not to die laughing, the boys are shooketh and looking at him, Price has his hands on his hips and sighs:
Nik after a few moments of silence: How much is this motherfucker dancing!?
*Cue price on giving him a kiss on the cheek and reaffirming him in Russian with a chuckle or two. He also explains verbs more.*
#lmaoo nik hates verbs#price and nik love dancing/slowdancing and no one can tell me no.#someone mightve already donw this#graves is being an asshole#just an odd little thought i had just now !! it's an odd thought hour#bro pls get tjis man an english tutor#mwii#nikprice#john price#incorrect quotes#phillip graves#modern warfare#cod nikolai#john soap mactavish#kyle gaz garrick#modern warfare 2#simon ghost riley

He is my misfortune 🎀
~Lorenzo Berkshire x reader~
WARNING: cursing
°Nepriateľ milovníkov°
Fluff
Summary : You unhappily end up tutoring a boy who brings you more misery than life itself
• |Reader is in Hufflepuff
• | I plan to make another part/parts. But I don't know if you will like this part, so I'll see 🎀
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lorenzo Berkshire. A lot of people think of this name as a smiling face of a boy who is always positive, laughing and sometimes even kind. The only thing that comes to mind with this name is disaster. Everywhere he goes something always goes wrong. Either I'm unlucky with him or I really don't know anymore.
For example, my Hufflepuff friends and I were in Hogsmeade. It was cold, so we went to the Three Broomsticks to warm up like every student at Hogwarts. A pleasant atmosphere prevailed there, at least I felt pleasant until I saw his face. At that moment, I sighed and realized that another problem was on the way.
We sat down at the table next to his. And why ? The reason was clear. Berkshire wasn't sitting there alone, he was there with his crew. For my friends, it was literally a feast for their eyes. I don't understand what they like about guys who just drink, smoke and change girls like socks.
That's not my type at all. I'd rather have some nice boy who likes to cuddle, go on cute dates, buy me flowers and..."What the f*ck?!" I was snapped out of my reverie about a boy who might not even exist by the boy who was the most annoying to me. nerves. "Sh*t Berkshire watch out! Great, I'm all wet now," oh of course who else but Berkshire could have tripped over his own feet and spilled butterbeer on me. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, this really wasn't on purpose," Berkshire apologized with a smile on his face.
I heard how his friends started laughing in the back, especially Malfoy, another icon of the school. I wanted to cry. I don't understand why he always has to do this to me. "I said sorry, don't be so relational, it's just beer, it will dry out," I looked at him in disbelief.
"Yes, it will dry out. But it's your fault that it's wet!" I stood up and left the room. Why does he always have to do this to me? Fool. I got on the first carriage I saw and went back to the castle.
This happened about a month ago, I'm currently sitting in the library completing an assignment on herbology. I really don't enjoy this subject, but somehow I still manage it. Unlike Berkshire. Whatever he is, I feel sorry for him. He's been sitting here in the library since lunch, and I can see he's still doing the same thing, with a herbology book spread out in front of him.
During that time, I managed to make elixirs, astrology and now also herbology. Maybe I would help him, but that's what he needs. Unfortunately, the butter beer cannot be washed off. He's lucky he covered my old sweatshirt and not a new one.
Curfew is in a moment. I pack my things in my bag and I look at Berkshire, but he is already looking at me. Why is he looking at me? Better do your homework, moron. I smirk, take my bag and leave the library.
The next day I enter the greenhouses, as I expected, I had a good homework and so did the others except Berkshire. "Mr. Berkshire, I don't want to worry you, but you're failing Herbology," Mrs. Sprout said sternly. Berkshire didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the ground. "Are you going to do anything about it, Mr. Berkshire?" the teacher asked him. "
Well...I...I don't know..." Mrs. Spraut just sighed and announced: "Mr. Berkshire, I suggest that someone tutor you. He will tutor you for 3 weeks, 2 times a week. And I already know who ." She suddenly turned her gaze to me. Wait. NOT. He probably can't be serious. After all, one more moment in the same room with him, and that boy will set my hair on fire with his happiness.
"M...Mind..Mind me?" I stammered back to her. "Huh? Do you have a problem with that Mrs. (y/l/n)???" "Um, no?" I replied, more of a question than an answer, "excellent! You can leave at the end of class!"
What on earth did she dip it in, and why me? I ran out of the greenhouses into the corridor to make it to the next class. "Hey! Wait!" "oh god what do you want?" I turned to face Berkshire. "Wouldn't you like to go...ah!" I reached for his shirt and pulled him to the side "You were standing in way, Lorenzo," "Oh, thank you." So wouldn't you like to go for a beer with me? We could..." "No! There's no way I'm going anywhere with you anymore. The last time you had a beer in your hand, it ended on me. So no!" I said even before he could finish the sentence and I turned to leave "Jesus, you're terrible," he said with a laugh in his voice "but I still don't like you!" I said and went into the corridor.
As I expected, it happened. He chased me. "Why are you following me like a lost puppy?" "I was waiting for you to calm down," I looked at him in disbelief. "You're kidding, aren't you?!" "When was I kidding," he replied with a grin. I swear if that boy was closer I would slap him. "Oh well, well. So what do you want so urgently that you're chasing me," "I just wanted to ask about the date of the first meeting," he said quietly. "Why didn't you ask right away?"
"Because you didn't let me talk you into it?! Did you!?" that bastard... "When is convenient for you?" I asked him with a sigh. "Whenever you want, I can do it any time," "Then Wednesdays and Fridays. I want to have peace from you during the weekend," "Mrs. (y/l/n)'s order!" he turned and left. Oh god it's going to be a month.

I feel like anyone who's about to embark on attempting to type out a character's accent phoentically (at least as well as one can with English) should probably stop for a moment before they get going and ask themselves, "How would I, myself, feel about a fic where the one character who sounds like me had their speech written out like this and every other character just got their dialogue left in standard spelling?" I feel like a lot of people would tone it down a bit, at least, if they'd done that thought experiment first.
(Anyone who answered "but I don't have an accent!" isn't allowed to write out anyone else's accent, ever. This rule may seem harsh but you need it. Really, you do. Because you've never had anyone treat your accent as abnormal or comical or wrong, so you really don't know what you're inflicting on others here.)
#writing stuff#have you read that fic where the socially prestige accent is the one being carefully typed out “like it sounds”? no? neither have i :(#the obvious note-for-Americans on typing out UK accents is that most of them carry some connotation of class and/or 'education'#within the uk: ask yourself why a Geordie gets typed out but not some dude from the Home Counties#typing out an accent is - usually - a roundabout way of saying “this person talks WRONG! they're not NORMAL!”#you may also find 'Scottish Twitter' informative for the distinction between in-group and out-group 'transcriptions' of accent/dialect#(i use that example only cos I'm Scottish btw)#(oh yes EVERYONE thinks I have an accent! and many of them attempt to replicate it badly in text!)#fun story: one time i had to learn the [IPA] for a linguistics class and the examples were 'standard' English pronunciations#and I went in the next day BAFFLED by why the book insisted that 'boot' and 'foot' don't contain the same vowel sound#(cos they fuckin do don't they?!)#the tutor explained and was v interested in the fact that to me they're the same. i was then asked to demonstrate again for the class.#but i - alas - was not offered repeated examples of however the fuck people say boot and foot in RP :(#(this was IN SCOTLAND btw)#anyway mibbe jist dinnae dae it? mibbe?#and if you do you have use the actual IPA. there now i've made it more trouble than it's worth for most people.

it will never stop surprising me how certain parents want tutors to improve their children's grades in one month. ma'am, you son doesn't know how to form the plural form of a regular noun. he won't understand the difference between past simple and past continuous after 10 one-hour long lessons. i doesn't make me a bad tutor. it's how learning works for heaven's sake.
it will also never stop surprising me how certain language learners beat themselves up over not reaching fluency after 6 months of studies. girl, you have a full-time job and a social life. you won't be able to read shakespeare-level literature after 35 hours of studies. it doesn't make you a bad learner. chill out.

My first column with the online newspaper re: restorative justice was published! Which is very cool! I'm so chuffed about it!
...Except that the editor inconsistently capitalized a particular common noun throughout the article (!) and also removed my Oxford commas (!!!!!).

Nothing is worse than if I come across an excellent summarised fic with sexy ass tags and then the first line is a clunky, grammatically off sentence that we're taught in high school on how to avoid
#i know i know im picky#but in my defence they used the word cold twice in a sentence and it was so clunky#its just a turn off#ive become too much of an asshole#but if both my high school english and my masters tutor would throw it out for the same reason dear god#it wasnt a dol fic or anything dw#this isnt a bitchy side comment about any fics from my beloved mutuals#dol has oretty well written fics ngl#slay you lil perverts#but it was an arkham knights fic and i immediately turned around and left after the first sentence#like cmon dog#reread your first draft and unfuck it#quinceyeasyspeaky

I think I might’ve teared my tutor a new one…
#oh let me tell you I let all out#like crying snot falling screeching#I questioned everything and let me tell you I was not surprised when I asked if they had actually researched anythinh about the topic#and she said no#that out job is to do the research so they can ’’learn’’ and use it as a material for future lessons#and I’m like sure.. I can do research no problem#but have you considered the ethical AND ecologial side of this?#and she literally goes ’’tbh no.. I have not even thought about that’’#jesus take the wheel (actually take the whole fucking car)#plus she had no idea why I’m the only one in a group of just exchange students#and don’t get me wrong they’re very sweet people#but I’m not a project manager nor a babysitter#one of them has studied english for ONE YEAR#and she’s strugggglingggg#so we got to the point where instead of fucking around with fucking crypto wallets and NTF’s we could study the rise fall and darkside of#metaverse cryptocurrencies etc#and don’t ask me what the innovation is because the tutor had no idea either but…#I rather write a thesis about this than fuck around with blockchains bitcoins and whatever the shit#thank FUCK I’m seeing Kuumaa and Käärijä this weekend#might’ve actually done something really stupid if I didn’t have something else to think about#irl shenanigans

love when this is referred to as the gifted kid website. shockingly my mental disorders made me mentally disordered and school never really vibed with that so. couldn’t be me
#ppl always talking about their whatever grade reading level and how many books they’d read as kids and im just over here like🧍🏽#I’ve never been actually bad at english or reading but I couldn’t focus on reading books to save my fucking life#I hated those sheets where you had to read like a certain number of books or whatever over the course of a semester or the year or whatever#my GATE test scores for english were super high but my math was bad enough that I never qualified#and adhd made me not even perform well in English half the time because I couldn’t pay attention I couldn’t read long books I couldn’t turn#in my assignments or if I did they were late and etc etc etc#don’t get me started with math#I was the worst in my class in third grade at minute math and never made it to the levels of minute math my classmates did#(they posted results on the wall for everyone to see)#and in 6th grade I was put into an additional remedial math class#throughout middle-high school I was at the level of most classmates in terms of the classes I took but that’s only because I was not allowe#to fail and was put through absolute fucking hell with a billion tutors and grueling hours of extra work from them and blah blah blah#like I remember how I felt in those tutoring sessions and half the time I actually wanted to cry.#I didn’t start doing solidly genuinely Good in school until senior year of high school.#not coincidentally around the same time I started taking adderall I think#I had accommodations by 9th grade but they didn’t do that much except for the function that let me turn in assignments up to 2 days late#without penalty. which i had teachers question sometimes and i had to pull the Yeah it’s Literally Against The Law to not allow me this car#anyway. point is. i was never in the gate program and most of my friends were and it was mostly adhd related#adhd is considered such a quirky nothing disorder nowadays that I don’t even like mentioning I have it really. because what people think of#when I say the term is Not what i actually dealt with and made school torturous and made my parents lash out at me for things and etc etc#depression and dysphoria did not help either. but I digress#I’m not sure why im making this post#kibumblabs
