#you LIE TO YOUR SUPERIOR? oh! oh! laps! laps for johnny for one thousand years!!!!!

okay as for the wizards: yes, nerdjock johnny is so canon. i've mentioned this before but sometime around 3rd/4th year Ollie, Johnny, and Isabel start doing study groups together, since theyre in the same house and can do homework together late at night without sneaking out. which doesnt mean they never sneak out to see their own friends, but it's more convenient. sometime around 4th/5th year this becomes commonplace, and isabel&johnny start doing it together regularly when they get back from quidditch practice.

wizard johnny is one of the best duelists in their year. it's where his offensive experience comes through best- hes got quick reaction time, he's relentless, he loves feeling like/being the best and the strongest and the roughest toughest buffest kid in school. freak. i dont remember if dueling is its own class- i think it's part of DatDA? regardless, he's really good at it. aside from that I think he would be really good at Charms, especially jinxes and hexes that are good for prank pulling and troublemaking. ESPECIALLY since AU johnny grew up in the human world- can you imagine being an elementary schooler taking math every day and then you never have to take math again. instead you get to learn to fly on a broom and turn peoples hair blue. hed go nuts.

i think the subjects he'd suck at are herbology, divination, and care for magical creatures. 1) plants are too flammable 2) futures too metaphorical 3) he keeps picking fights with anything that looks at him funny. but he goes to class early (to catch 1st years for mugging and still be on time) and writes his wizard essays (with help from the haunted knights helmet under his bed) and only sometimes lights the library on fire (sorry stephen yes he'll make it up t'him by helpin 'im look for the giant squid) and thrashing almost everyone during dueling lessons (shut up guerra). and during their study sessions he'll bitch and groan and make a fuss but at the end of the day you think hes gonna let someone be the reason HE gets a bad grade? HELL no. guerra better sit her ass down if she knows whats good for her 'oooooh she had to stay late and talk with coach oop blah blah' yeah and hes already got a head start cause'a it an hes not gonna waste time catchin her up. <- he says that while gathering up every page of notes hes taken so far and shoving them into her arms. and then makes a big show of wanting something to drink so he makes tea. and wouldnt you know it, he """""accidentally""""" made enough for two. by the time he gets back, isabel's caught up and he's got a spare cup of tea that she better not let go cold. but if she does he can warm it back up so just let him know ok he'll do it

rereading paranatural (again) and johnny claims to deeply value his education (chap 1 page 36). i kinda feel like it's a joke in that it's not a joke and i want to know your thoughts and opinions. on everything ever but mostly that panel on that page :3 you can make this about the wizjo au if you want

ohhhhh i LOVE this question. and that line. thats actually one of the lines i've filed away under 'key characterization insight'

it would be REALLY funny for johnny to have meant that 100% seriously. he's serious about his bad guy status, hes serious about his workout routine that includes LARPing, hes serious about beating on nerds for income. and johnny putting that same weight into his classes is really funny. yeah to answer your question i am a firm believer in johnny 'secret nerd' jhonny. thats like, best johnny imo.

johnny Deeply Values His Education jhonny wakes up early so he can ambush unsuspecting nerds without being late to class. johnny Deeply Values His Education jhonny watches chemistry videos in his spare time to learn how to blow things up. johnny Deeply Values His Education jhonny CANNOT skip because what if they learn something that is deeply integral to his future as top dog and hes NOT THERE?

and like i don't think that means he'd be good at it. i think hes probably shit at it. too much of a free thinker and the public school system isnt friendly to that. i think i described it best in my Johnny Becomes An English Major After Sharing A Brain With Forge post:

basically i love nerdjock johnny. thoughts are: Fuck Yes and opinion is: It Rules.
