unnecessarily specific college!au f1 driver headcanons, part 3. professors edition!

(if you want to start from the beginning: part 1, the undergrads, here and part 2, more undergrad headcanons.)

alonso

- major: archaeology (never graduated)

- left school in the final year to be a skydiving instructor and then went on a site dig in Central America in the early 2000s

- there’s a plaque with his name on campus because he’s climbed like 4 of the world’s highest mountains, gone in a submarine into the Mariana Trench, and discovered at least one new species along the way

- other claim to fame is being in the national newspaper’s crossword at the age of 23

- notorious for breaking the rules when on expeditions and skirting the line of safety but gets away with it because he’s a big name in the field and brings investment to his (sort of) alma mater

- appears once on campus to give an inspirational talk. doesn’t rehearse, switches it to a q&a format at the last minute, people enjoy it anyway (because it’s not rehearsed). George tries to strike up a conversation with him afterwards and Alonso just pawns him off to his PA

- wears a different coloured bandana to every dig/hike/expedition. hates closed toe shoes.

vettel

- teaches: molecular structures in microbiology

- precise prof and a tough grader, but nice

- came over a competing college several years ago. people from that college say he was a demon and a notorious asshole when he taught there, but he doesn’t seem that way now.

- lando starts a betting pool about when Vettel will have a proper meltdown (it happens not when lando suspends the prof’s hole punch in a cube of jelly. it actually happens when charles and him cannot see eye-to-eye about the future of ocean conservation)

- wears ties with animals and insects on them. his favourite one is a gift from charles when charles graduates, it has bumblebees and his initials SV on it.

- alex digs up an article one day and everyone gawks at it because prof seb won some cross-continent European woodworking competition when he was 15

- nobody knows if he’s dating anyone, only to find out on the last week of second year that he’d eloped

hamilton

- teaches: philosophy of ethical economics

- has done several ted talks and is often invited to international forums with world leaders (like the WEF, Bloomberg Sustainable Investment Forum etc)

- there’s a student GC trying to predict what his hairstyles will be like every month, usually with 50% accuracy

- one of the first profs to pioneer public access to the private university via open university modules; definitely has a tie up going on with EdX or similar

- people think max will be the one to piss him off in seminars but it’s actually george who has deeply different opinions to prof hamilton on the issues of land tax

- famous for his induction / opening year classes which involve all students standing on their chairs in a circle and chanting an invocation until they can state the colours of their auras. it’s bizarre and somehow it works

- his TAs are the coolest people ever

- somehow fits a 36 hour day into 24 hours

- his spotify wrapped includes the hamilton soundtrack, britney, 90s rap, and Tibetan gong soundscapes on his 10 most listened of the year

- his favourite word is mobius. only him and nico know that this used to be their safeword.

rosberg

- taught: political economy

- former prof who went into industry and is now a venture capitalist

- used to be super close friends (“close” “friends”) with Hamilton. they went to the same prep school, rushed at the same finals club, were famous via the university debate team for their immaculate takedowns of other teams including a legendary debate final in their late 2000s student years

- had a massive falling out when rosberg decided to pursue a career instead of staying in academia

- feels a deep connection to andrew garfield’s portrayal of eduardo saverin

- similar to carla, dad’s name is also on a lecture hall, but nico had much more of an inferiority complex about it

- prof wolff once told him “i don’t see your future here ever surpassing prof hamilton’s”. Nico rage-quit once he had an offer from a VC firm and now Nico spends every other media interview subtly making digs about this

- somehow still lives in the same apartment complex as lewis though he drives a much better car now (a benz GTC roadster)

y'all ever think abt how it was julie having the affair and it is even said multiple times that she was the one who left him, yet wilson was still the one who left their home and moved in with house. like. he couldn't bear to stay in their home alone. he immediately ran to house and stayed on his couch for weeks. suffered through his pranks and his laziness and his manipulation. telling him he wants him gone while sabotaging his attempts to leave. and he only left once he got a girlfriend again.

WHAT MUSIC THE BAD BATCH WOULD LISTEN TO ACTUALLY THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION I'm kidding this is my very humble opinion. anyway let's go

Hunter — this man is the epitome of classic rock to me, (I know this is not a new take) but in much more of a AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow and Thin Lizzy way more than anything. I also see him being a lowkey Hendrix fan, and dabbles in some of the more psychedelic stuff from that time, a little Jefferson Airplane perhaps ('wish you were here' is his fav Pink Floyd album). I've been on the record saying that ZZ Top wrote 'sharp dressed man' about him and I stand by that, but I also see him rocking out to 'black night' by Deep Purple in particular

Wrecker — I see him getting on with most things, anything that gets him moving honestly, which is why I think particularly disco is his bag. man loves Donna Summer I'm telling you. I also see some acoustic guitar stuff there too: country, folk & singer songwriter stuff for when he's not up and dancing. big Johnny Cash guy from start to finish, every song. prefers the Creedence Clearwater Revival version of 'proud mary' (despite loving Tina Turner)

Crosshair — grunge. post-punk. garage rock revival. I'm talking The Strokes, Radiohead, Pixies. perhaps The Smiths thrown in there too. he likes Nirvana but he's not vocal about it because they're too 'popular' to be seen liking. he's pretentious but he keeps it to himself. 'boys don't cry' by The Cure hits home for him. secret Bowie fan but you couldn't torture that information out of him.

Tech— he will listen to anything that makes him think. he's analysing all the time. anything from Wagner to the Velvet Underground to math rock. in my minds eye he's a Dire Straits fan, and it's not so much a secret as he just doesn't let on. he appreciates the value of music in the same way as wrecker though, thus, one of his favourite songs is 'move on up' (the extended edition only) by Curtis Mayfield. the groove + the talent of the players + the interesting harmonies and rhythms, to him it's the perfect song. he's interested in the technological developments that brought in new genres and is fascinated by 80s music, as well as recording techniques like on 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band' (but it's not his favourite Beatles album, that would be 'Revolver' ofc)

Echo— a big fan of anything soulful, singers are the main appeal for him. he loves listening to a rich voice. Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone right up to Florence + the Machine, Hozier and Adele. also has a thing for britpop, and he's more in the camp of Blur over Oasis, but he likes both. musical theatre enjoyer on the downlow. 'before he cheats' by Carrie Underwood is his go to karaoke song, and he cleans up every time (he's the best singer, but Wrecker still gives him a run for his money)

Guess who :3c (Patreon)

[moonlitkilljoy]

so. the line of tape. it's existence makes me lose my marbles to no end, but probably not in the way you'd expect. it's the fact that even with this clear divide they STILL spill over into the others space. i've see a lot of people talk about it as if it's this clear divide in the lab that hermann and newt steer clear from but that just isnt the case!

if it was, you'd expect the lab to look something like this layout

but look at the actual movie

it looks like more akin to something like this

newt's samples, tables, and stands for his dissection tools spill over the line right into hermann's space. there's definitely room on his side of the lab for everything, he's just. spread out across the entire lab instead. AND it seems like this is what the lab usually looks like, hermann only makes to point out the entrails on his side and not the rest of newts things, it's a shared space— not a divided one. what i'm saying is that even though hermann makes a big deal out of his side of the lab versus newts side vis-à-vis the intestines, he definitely doesn't care that much about separating himself from newt OR his space from newts space in general. the way i see it, they argue and bicker a lot but ultimately they find comfort in the others presence, hermann just doesn't want to deal with potentially-hazardous kaiju intestines right by his things ^^;

Imagine person A lightly tracing “I love you” over and over again on person B’s back, assuming that person B is asleep. When person A is lying on their back, getting ready to sleep, person B moves closer and wraps their arms around person A, whispering softly, “I love you too.” Bonus if that’s the first time person A has ever declared their love for person B.

Person A: Ava ; Barbara Melissa

Person B: Janine ; Melissa Barbara

Doing a Jekyll and Hyde/TMA crossover because I'm obsessed with both of these things. So here are my ideas of the characters so I can share my madness:

Jekyll is a Spiral touched Eye avatar, who in his college years was tormented by a creature of the spiral because of how different his outter and inner being was, but this pushed him into seeking information about what was following him getting the attention of Beholding until he fully but willingly fell into it's service.

Hyde is an Eye touched Spiral avatar who makes up that parts that were already designated to the spiral before Henry made his choice to fall for the Eye. Henry tried to get rid of all the spiral and evil in him when taking to potion but made Edward instead, because he was pure spiral he was basically born into being an avatar.

Gabriel is Lonely touched. He started to fall into the lonely once cousin dies, having not really had a connection with anoyone outside of him for years (im having his cousin die from seeing the trasformation and Edward's powers not Hestie for plot reasons.). But Henry seeing the spiral, stepped in so that the lonely couldn't take him. But it still has its affects and if Gabriel wishes he could give into the lonely at anytime.

Robert isn't aligned with an entity but the Eye does try to pull him to it. He researches the different powers and knows more about them than anyone. He takes great strides into helping Gabriel away from the Lonely not wanting to lose a friend like that. He also loves studying Henry and Edward having never seen someone with two entities attached to them like that. And after some research lobotomizes himself so he doesn't feel fear anymore so he can more safely study the Dread Powers.

Some story information under cut for those who would like it

They form a very gay 4 way relationship after some tense times. Henry desperately tries to keep his Eye powers from fucking up everything by either just Knowing things about his partner's or by ripping out their statements whenever he gets peckish.

Edward and Henry's relationship is hard as they work for such opposite entities, but they manage to slowly work things out. Henry likes to annoy Edward with random Knowledge that is unneeded or wanted at the moment while Edward manifests doors and illusions around Henry constantly. Hyde once accidentally trapped them in his hallways for two hours as he can easily make door appear while not in control of the body but making them actually do what he wants requires full control. They both have to feed differently so Henry has to always give Edward control after some time so that he can run off and horrify someone, this intern though helps feed Beholding as Henry can watch everything. It's a win win though it doesn't fully feed Henry's hunger and inevitably he as to find someone of his own to traumatize.

Hestie and Henry have a love filled but very tense relationship as Robert told Henry not to fall into the dread powers but he didn't listen. This is why they stop talking for a bit and instead of just Henrys mad science. One day Hestie found Henry alone trying to focuse on his studies only to find him bearly hanging on after not having eaten a statement in almost 2 weeks. At that point Hestie let Henry compell a statement from him. Henry tried to refuse, not wanting to hurt him, but eventually with some persistence and Henry asking a question in his weakness eventually got what was needed. There relationship was hard after that but it was the start of what would lead to their romantic relationship.

Gabriel has the favor of the Eye as he does love snooping into things and spent weeks trying to find out what Henry was really working on in his labs. And once Henry stepped in to help keep him from the Lonely their relationship was very quick to become romantic.

Gabriel and Robert have a platonic lovers sort of thing going on and Gabriel goes to Hestie first if he sees anything strange so that they can tell Henry together, which helps keep him from accidently pulling a statement from either of them or asking too many questions. After a while this isn't needed as henry can better control his eye power but it's always used as a fail safe just incase.

Robert hated Edward at the beginning, never having liked the spiral after seeing it's effects on people(being a doctor and all), and never liking how Edward could just know so much (thanks to Henry's connection to Beholding) to better fuck with people. But after Edward saves Hestie from almost dying several times, they start getting along.

Edward instantly loves Gabriel, due to Henry's love of the man, but has a problem with jealousy and throwing every man that ever talks to Gabriel into his corridors. This does include Robert but Edward always lets Robert out because Gabriel gets mad at him for it, Robert also gives Hyde a stomachache due to not feeling any fear. This loss of any other connection outside of the main cast doesn't help with Gabriel's loneliness but Edward is learning to control himself(it takes a while)

I do have my thought process for why Edward would be Spiral though I'm open for any other ideas if you would like to contribute to this madness.

gay person that points at gay people

[tomwambsmilk]

It's 100% true that the Roy siblings did not choose to be Logan's children and Tom and Greg and the old guard did choose to work for him so their relationships to Logan are fundamentally different, and the degree of culpability they bear for their own moral degradation is also wildly different. But workplace emotional abuse is also very real and omnipresent in the way Logan treats the people who work for him. And one of the impacts of workplace emotional abuse is creating an extreme attachment to the abuser and becoming less cognizant and even defensive of their abuse towards yourself and others, and in cases where the emotional abuse is institutionalized and systemic it can also create a strong aversion to leaving because your whole sense of personal identity becomes wrapped up in the organization and so being forced to leave can cause an intense psychological crisis. I don't think the situation of working for Logan is at all equivalent to being his child but I also think that it's a bit misguided to imply that Tom and Gerri and Frank and Karl are operating from a place of pure rationality without any undue psychological influences when they make the choice to stay with and support Logan

You can take one quick look at my blog and know that I’m a very post whatever I want, for myself first and foremost kinda bitch, of which I absolutely am, but I won’t lie and say I haven’t had my days where I go “why bother” when I spend hours editing a story post, and see it get way less engagement than a GIF set I spent probably 10 minutes in Photoshop slapping together.

These feelings can coexist, lol.
