#will's in trouble for teaching her that

“So what time should I start counting the till?”

Nat, chewing on the end of his pen, looked up from his checklist and over to Seo-yoon. “It’s supposed to be around 6,” he said. “But honestly, you can just do it whenever there’s a break in customers.”

“Right,” she said, and returned her focus to sweeping the floor.

Nat added this to his list. Count till at 6. Or whenever you want. Caleb wouldn’t approve, but what Caleb didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him. He frowned down at his page of scribbles, meant to be a guide, and resigned himself to redoing it later. He kept thinking of new things and everything was out of order.

The new girl was tiny and wiry, Korean, looked a bit like a coat-hanger someone had twisted into the shape of a human person. She was young, too, younger than Nat had anticipated. She couldn’t have been more than nineteen.

“What do I do if there is no break in customers?” Seo-yoon asked.

“There’s always a break,” Nat said. “It’s the night shift. Sometimes there’s hours between customers.”

“But if there isn’t a break?”

Nat narrowed his eyes. “Okay, so, really, you can just flip over the CLOSED sign whenever you want,” he said. “You want a break? Just take one. An hour. Two hours. No one's gonna know.”

Another scribble. Take break whenever you feel like it for however long you like but don’t tell Caleb.

idk what it is abt me and writing scenes of protagonists training people at shitty jobs but there's one in ATDAO too. only where tris earnestly does his best nat just makes stuff the fuck up

anyway call this a belated snippet sunday

okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??

edit: i started writing it

Unpopular Opinion

The people who become master benders without having to put in the hard work and without having to struggle aren't Azula or Toph or even Aang, they're Katara(becomes a master good enough to teach the Avatar within a month of finally getting formal instruction) and Zuko (get's a convenient dragon-shaped powerup rather than having to actually master the fundamentals).

[ID: A drawing of two SeaWing dragons from Wings of Fire facing each other. Tsunami has her back to the viewer and is smirking with her ear tipped forward. She has mostly medium blue scales with dark blue along her spine and snout. Some of her aqua blue bioluminescent face scalers are lit up. She is smirking at Whirpool who floats in front of her. He looks stunned by the audacity of what she is saying in aquatic. His green-yellow scales are lighter on his belly and darker on his back. He has large ears for a SeaWing, which are adorned with several large hooped earrings each. Over his left eye, he has a small golden monocle which is suspended in place by a fine metal chain attached to one earring and one eye brow ring. Between them, in glowing and floating letters, it spells 'Squidface'/ End.]

The scene that made me laugh is when Tsunami learns how to speak Aquatic and the very first thing she learns how to do is basically swear. Headcannon that squidface is the SeaWing swear that functionally means dickhead. Which I think fits Whirlpool well. I tried to make him as oily as possible. His ears normally droop under the weight of all the hoops. But he's so surprised that they're sticking up quite a bit. He also has some big ears for a SeaWing. All the better to put more hoops in. I may do a bit of a redesign at some point and give him gages because that would be sweet.

Love Tsunami. Next up is a scene that made me cry.

I’m the anon that sent in all the Ruby stuff! It makes me so happy that you love her so much. I didn’t expect her to be such a beloved character to you and I was kind of nervous that you would have hated her tbh. ^^;

Something Ruby related — I had a fic about Twig and co. confronting the siblings before I ultimately scrapped it because I could not write villainous characters without making them feel cliché. I do remember this one line said by Ruby’s sister when she lashes out towards Twig:

“You wouldn’t get it. You have a cushy life style and you baby your daughter instead of actually raising her. We’re doing that ungrateful, spoiled brat a favor — we’re teaching her how to survive. You wouldn’t know the meaning of that with that silver spoon in your mouth.”

I don’t blame you for struggling with not making the siblings feel cliché— writing villainous characters gets 900x more difficult the second you don’t want to make them sympathetic. Ark was fairly simple for me to write, even in scrapped scenes where he was all-in with his villainous role during the events of the post-game. Twig’s aunt, meanwhile, gave me a heck of a hard time while I was developing her backstory.

I don't know if it's the religious trauma or the dead mom trauma but the conservative christian insistence on not teaching children about their bodies in school and insistence that this knowledge should be private in all circumstances with no exceptions should be seen as suspicious at best and criminally malicious at worst

My only academic talent is explaining complicated concepts to ten-year-olds using analogies of food and toys.

in my humble opinion, I think Summer is actually really good in school but just doesn't put the effort in to it. like she just doesn't care enough to study or anything, and still gets good marks (she'd get 80% without studying).

she also wouldn't help Morty because he probably falls asleep during tutor sessions, gets pulled away by Rick, or she just gets frustrated with him maybe

and the main reason she doesn't study or anything is because her friends don't think it's cool, and she wants more free time to sniff glue or something idk

Kore!

I drew some delicious glowy Tron guys because I love that movie so much. The original one has such good designs but most people have only seen the new one. Got kinda obsessed and made little backstories for each of these guys.

a few months ago I ran into one of the students from my very first year of teaching and he was talking about the first day and how he was like "damn you just made us start reading right away no get to know you game or nothing" and the gentle outrage in his cadence made me SCREAM-laugh
