#The same principal applies to friends

Something something...sometimes you have to teach other people how to love you. It's more important that someone is willing to learn to love you, then holding them to a standard that they should just inherently know exactly what you want. Likewise, you'll have to learn to love them.
That's life, learning. Always.

Hilarious that the same people defending any and all questionable choices the Bad Kids make (namely Kristen lbr) by saying "They're just kids! They have all this trauma and it's fucked up to expect teens to be good and nice all the time!" are the same people insisting that Kipperlily is an evil bitch and the Ratgrinders deserve to die.
#it's almost like the rules of empathy and nuance only apply to characters you like 🙃#we know absolutely nothing of significance about the Ratgrinders#and i can't wait for Brennan to remind us of that#you want to complain about Kipperlily using her families money to try to buy the campaign???#The entire shrimp party that kicked off Kristen's campaign was bankrolled by her rich friend#Adaine is a total bitch to anyone who isn't in her immediate friend group#Fig is a literal full time criminal at this point#they have at least 50+ murders under their collective belts at this point#the only verified difference between the Bad Kids and the Ratgrinders at this point is that we know nothing about them#I hope they are the biggest red herring Brennan has ever pulled#because I feel like there are people in this fandom who are so used to self-identifying as victims that they've become full bullies#and they're projecting that shit in some really gross ways#The same way Brennan had to remind Adaine that she wasn't the only one with a shitty life when she was dunking on Zayne?#how about we all take a big step back and try to have a little more perspective#instead of jumping straight to being triggered by a CHILD who had the audacity to not love your faves behavior#let me die#if i die#d20 fhjy#fhjy#dimension 20#kristen applebees#kipperlily copperkettle#the bad kids#the ratgrinders#we have no context on what those kids went through in all the time the Bad Kids have been running around doing other shit#Aguefort is an awful school and their friend is dead#maybe she has a reason not to like the super special “chosen one” that got personally resurrected by the principal and keeps failing upwards#i didn't want to be a Kipperlily defense page#but the energy of the Kipperlily hate reeks of double-standards and unprocessed high school bitterness

The Gremlin Game Designer's Creed
Rules are toys, and the process of rules-mediated play consists of smashing their faces together like little girls making their Barbies make out. Unless a rules module is explicitly intended to be enacted solo, it should present a generous surface area for other rules to bite into. The most elegantly self-contained piece of rules design is, collaboratively speaking, also the most useless.
The principal function of "player characters" as discrete collections of mechanical traits is to furnish each player with an assemblage of shiny things to show off to other players. Mechanical abstraction is well and good, but if you abstract away the act of curating one's collection of shinies, player engagement will suffer.
The GM, if present, is a fellow player. Ensure that they have their own toys and shinies to play with. The failure of a game to provide these is often a major contributor to why nobody wants to run it!
The most effective way of encouraging players to do what you want is to make a number go up. This applies to both to rewards and to misfortunes; a number counting up to disaster a much more visceral motivator than a number counting down to zero.
Crunch is good. The defining feature of tabletop roleplaying is that rules produce stories. The act of interpreting the outputs of the rules and the act of telling the game's story are the same activity. Be mindful of what kinds of stories your rules want to tell; you may find that their opinion on the matter differs from your own!
Actually assembling your game's rules is as much a process of discovery as it is of invention. In the course of designing and playtesting, you may find that your own game has rules that you didn't know about. Where did they come from? It is a mystery.
Randomised outcomes should be made mandatory with care and restraint; randomised outcomes should be made available with delirious abandon. As far as is practicable, players should always have the option of asking the dice what unhinged bullshit should happen next. Corollary: lookup tables are your friend.
Players don't need your permission to depart from the rules as written; granting it is arrogant. By the same token, however, it should never be unclear to players whether they're departing from the rules as written. Let the thought process behind what you're writing hang out for all the world to see; folks will be rummaging in the game's guts anyway, so give them easy access.
If your game has a default setting, explain it as little as possible, but always let the rules and presentation reflect it. Seeing an entry for "poorly made dwarf" in a table of player character backgrounds will fire a group's imagination more strongly in three words than a chapter stuffed with worldbuilding lore could in ten thousand.
You don't need to be good at naming things as long as you're good at puns. Wordplay, alliteration and rhyme may also serve in this capacity, as, in a pinch, may a well placed dick joke.

Fuck it. UA instructors as...things the staff from my college have done, I guess?
Because it's been three and a half years since I graduated and I miss that place every single day
Tumblr media
Principal Nezu
Principal Nezu has everybody's names, faces, and quirks memorized before the first day of school. This is never acknowledged.
(Recovery Girl also learns everybody pretty much right away, but she interacts with them a bit more directly than Nezu, so it doesn't seem quite as weird)
Somehow Nezu manages to both be so chill and yet have no chill.
Nezu once texted Mic to ask if he was available for a call about some program at school and when Mic didn't answer within 15 minutes because he was DRIVING Nezu just called him anyway and was like "is this a bad time? I can call you back :)" Like, no,no, We're both here now, let's have this conversation now. Go ahead
One time Nezu pulled the Big Three out of their classes and brought them into his office to sit them down like he was about to have a Big Serious Conversation, and then he just says "Do you think...it would be possible for you to visit the first year hero classes...and tell them about your experiences? :)" Mirio and Nejire are both going "yeah, sure", while thinking why did we have to get pulled out of class like this was something really important? Amajiki is hyperventilating.
Power loader
Power Loader is like some kind of cryptid.
He just shows up when things need to be fixed, fixes them, and then disappears again. He never says a word. Don't question it, just be grateful and let him stay in his hiding place
Random knowledge. Whenever the rest of the staff has some random question that no one else can answer. Ask Power Loader. He knows. He always know. Don't question that either, he's just one of those kind of people
Power loader and All Might are the only two teachers who were asked to come to UA instead of having to apply
13
Actually 13 falls somewhere inbetween applying and being asked to join the staff, because she kind of created her own job.
She just had a meeting with Nezu one day to be like "Your students need an Unforeseen Simulation Joint! Here's what that means and why you need it" And Nezu went "... :) You're hired!"
All Might
Toughest person anybody knows. Can not handle spicy food.
Everybody loves him. Anybody who doesn't isn't cut out for hero school. This is not bragging, it just happens to be true.
All Might once listed one of his credentials as BAMF. (Izuku absolutely lost it that day)
While discussing I Island with Izuku, All Might very casually stated "My ex husband lives there" as if that isn't an Absolute Bombshell to drop You can't just Say That and NOT ELABORATE WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE AN EXHUSBAND!?!!???? (Izuku lost it even more that day)
Present Mic
Mic has a bad habit of talking a little too fast. Nobody's ever 100% sure what he said.
Also he swears. Like. A lot. Like, he would get in trouble as a student for swearing.
There is a drawer on Mic's desk that's labeled 'Present Mic's Top Secret Hiding Place' and anybody who notices it is just like ??? because it's clearly labeled and Not a Secret. But Mic is very scatter brained and will lose anything as soon as it leaves his eyesight. Having a specific place to put things help with that.
EraserMic
Married. But they don't really talk about it, and they don't act married in front of the students, so a lot of them don't realize it
It's actually surprising because they have pictures of them and their kids on their desks. All you have to do is go to the teacher's office. It's not a secret. It's right there.
There's a class for the second years on like, heroism and personal lives or something. Eraser and Mic get to teach part of that unit because they have experience being married heroes.
One year when Aizawa says that he's married to Mic one of the students asks him why
That same year, when Aizawa reveals that there is one teacher he will never be friends with (like, even more than all the other teachers), just because they have nothing in common other than working at UA, and the same student asks him if it's Mic
People assume Mic gets special treatment as Aizawa's husband. This is not true. If anything, he's more likely to get the short end of the stick and be asked to cover for Aizawa.
Eraser Head
Aizawa forgot that there was supposed to be a chaperone for the remedial licensing training and said he would probably be the one doing it. He was not. He sent Mic. Thus proving the previous statement true.
Bad at interpersonal relationships
Has a bad habit of mumbling. Students are never 100% sure what he said
At some point, the people around him start referring to doing anything overly rational as 'pulling an Aizawa'. Yeah. ...yeah...

Tumblr media
18+ only no exceptions.
Smut, making a porno, renting a porno, p in v sex, oral sex, f, and m receiving. AU and the upside down/Vecna never happened.
Eddie and the reader reunite after the reader ends her first year at college. They catch up on old times and decide to try something new. (Slightly pervy Steve.)
Word count: 3.7K
Eddie and the reader reunite after the reader ends her first year at college. They catch up on old times and decide to try something new. The year is 1986 and the reader and Steve are ex-lovers. They went on one date but Eddie is her soulmate. (Steve shows up at the end.)
Ao3
Thank you to @bunnsandroses for being my beta reader and to @bimbobaggins69 for hyping me up with this fic!
You and Eddie were lovers in high school. You both loved playing Dungeons & Dragons and listening to the same metal music. Eddie was seen as an outcast and a freak, but you loved Eddie regardless. Eddie was the school freak, but you had that spark with him. No matter what other people said about him, including that he was a 'trailer park disaster' and 'reject outcast' and 'loser', you wanted him, anyway. People could be cruel, but you saw through Eddie's tough facade and accepted him. He was so important to you. His band was amazing and you would always be there side stage watching him. Everyone knew you were his and groupies knew to back off. Eddie was the leader of the Hellfire Club. When you were alone with him, you couldn't take your hands off each other. He loved your breasts, hips, thighs, neck, and lips. Eddie was your first everything. Your first kiss, your first official relationship that was serious, and you were both virgins when you met. Steve met you through Robin being your mutual friend and you went out on one date with him. Her and Steve's friendship as besties was goals for you and Eddie. Not that Steve wasn't a nice guy- he was but Eddie captured your heart and Steve agreed he would be friends with you instead of date. Steve and Eddie met at a party where Eddie was selling weed and hit it off quickly becoming friends.
Eddie loved kissing your body, and it was special every time you made love. Talking and giggling during sex with Eddie was always a must. Whether soft or rough, he knew what you liked, wanted, and what drove you wild in all the best ways. There was nothing more important to him than getting you off first. He was a giver more than a receiver, and that's the way he liked it. The way he touched and pleased you was better than anyone else. Despite your closeness, your graduation came before his because he kept getting held back. Not that he lacked the intelligence, but it was the drive. No matter what people thought, he was pretty smart, but didn't fully apply himself, and even though he wanted to graduate with you, it just didn't happen, unfortunately. Eddie graduated spring of 86 and despite the odds he made it. Principal Higgins was flipped the bird by Eddie and it was well deserved. Higgins had put Eddie through so much bullshit. Knowing he was about to graduate made you so proud and he had already passed his classes. It was going to be just you and Eddie in Hawkins for the summer.
Your dream was to go to an Ivy League university and although you were at a great university, you ended up getting into your dream school out of state, and you would miss Eddie. You went anyway and when you finished your first year at college, you came back home to Hawkins. Eddie visited you during Christmas break while you were with relatives in another state. Eddie and you had phone sex while you were away when you weren't having 3-way calls with Steve. It was amazing to be back home though, and once you crossed state lines to Indiana and got to Hawkins, you went to Eddie's place first. Once he saw you, his face lit up so brightly. After hugs and pleasantries, you went grocery shopping, drove back to your place, cooked, and had a nice dinner. Even though he was used to typical spaghetti-o's, cereals like Cheerios and honeycomb, it would be nice to have a home-cooked meal. It was your parent's guest house that you had made into your loft for the summer. After dinner, you ended up on the couch with him flipping through the channels. It was the weekend, but nothing good was on. You had an idea and you wanted to try something new. That day Eddie wore his signature Dio vest and you wore your own custom Hellfire Club t-shirt he had made especially for you in high school. It drove him wild in all the best ways when you wore it for him.
He wrapped his arms around you, and you snuggled close in his embrace.
"Babe, it's pointless. I can't find anything good on TV. Do you have any other ideas about what you want to do?" Eddie asked sounding a bit bored.
"I do. Since it's not too late, maybe we could rent a movie?"
"Good idea. There might be something there that will keep us entertained."
Hand in hand, you walked together to the video store. Family Video. As you walked to your destination, you shared a joint and got all giggly and just enjoyed his company.
"No Eddie, not Family Video. There's another store I've been hearing good things about."
"Oh really? So we can't go see our friends Steve and Robin?"
"This place has other types of movies. But I guess Family Video would have some too in the back room," you told him with a wink and raise of your brows as he looked at you, a curious gaze on his face.
Eddie lazily shrugged and continued walking with you. Only moments later you were walking into the store, Family video, and made your way to the back room. Adult pictures, magazine cutouts, along with triple xxx movies on VHS, and displays of the new releases and employee picks of the month greeted you. The place even had video booths where you could watch videos. The cashier was an average-looking guy, and he greeted you both with a smile.
"Oh, I see, so this is where you wanted to go. I'm a bit surprised, princess, but pleased, so why not…"
As you made your way over to more displays, you immediately noticed the horror section.
"Vintage horror porn looks like a pretty good place to start, don't you think?" You asked with a grimace as you stepped closer to the tapes.
The covers were colorful and vibrant. There was a big selection and since you loved horror movies as much as Eddie did, you decided this was the best place to find the perfect movie. You picked up a VHS titled Necromania and read the description of it. It sounded quite interesting, and it promised not only vampires and hot lesbians but also funerals, morgues, cemeteries, and autopsies. You looked at Eddie, noticing his ears perk up and a wide grin form on his face. Hopefully, there would even be a rock n roll soundtrack.
"How about we go with this Ed Wood movie, hmm?" Eddie whispered in your ear.
"Sure, it sounds interesting. Why not? Let's do it."
He wrapped his arms around your waist and kissed you on your neck.
"Eddie, not now. You know what that does to me."
He smirked and gave you a shit-eating grin.
"I'm not done with you yet. Trust me. Let's just get this rented and we can go back to your place. And if it gets boring, we can occupy ourselves in other ways. Maybe make our porn."
You couldn't tell if he was joking, but you certainly couldn't wait to find out. Eddie took the tape, brought it to the counter, then paid for it. You left the store with him casually. You were partly glad Steve and Robin weren't there that night to see you buy this soft-core adult film. On the way back, you spoke little, but you both held hands, and you knew he was just as excited to watch the porno as you were. Eddie brought out the kinky side in you, and you loved it. When you got back to your place, you turned on the lights dimming them, and then made your way to the couch and plopped down onto it. Eddie put in the movie and pressed play as he sat on the couch with you. You got into his lap as the movie's opening credits rolled. You couldn't believe you were doing this with Eddie, but it was exciting and thrilling for you. As the first scene begins, a necromancer meets with a couple, inviting them into her mansion. An argument ensues soon after they are in their room to reveal the necromancer watching them. So far, it seemed promisingly suspenseful. The necromancer performs a ritual of magic and she then has sex with a man staying in the house out of pity.
"So, what's the verdict so far?" He asked curiously as he moved his hands to your breasts and squeezed them.
"It's fine. I'm sure it will get better."
Shirley, the necromancer, meets Barb, and the two end up having sex. While watching this, you could feel arousal pooling at your core and you wondered if Eddie was getting turned on by the movie.
Eddie leaned in and whispered in your ear,
"Sure, that's hot, but you are even hotter, babe."
You smiled widely at this compliment and grinned on his lap. He focused his attention on the screen and did his best to ignore you for the moment. Watching the movie didn't last long as you caressed the bulge in his pants, patting it. He was rock hard at this point as another sex scene unfolded, but it was because of you that his cock was hard. As you palmed his cock, he spread open your thighs and caressed you over the thin material of your panties. You moaned softly for him as he fingered you. The sensations you were feeling were so erotic as he massaged your clit. Neither of you was paying much attention to the movie anymore, but it hardly mattered. He knew he couldn't resist you much longer. You craved him, and you were almost totally soaked now as he left sloppy kisses on your neck and moved his fingers even faster inside of you. As soft mewls escaped your lips, low grunts were heard coming from him.
He couldn't get enough of you, and you were simply irresistible to him. He wanted to make you feel good, and you wanted to make him feel good, too. He needed you so much and wanted to hear your soft whimpers and moans. It was his goal to have you be even louder for him. You weren't even paying attention to the movie anymore, and neither was he. Neither of you could care less about the movie now that you were so focused on the love of your life. Before you knew it, he had you pinned down, and he was leaving kisses up and down your body across every bare inch of skin he could reach. This wasn't enough for him and he removed your shirt to get better access to more of your body. As he kissed you and groped your breasts, you reached down to palm at his cock through his pants and undid his zipper. He quickly undid his belt, and you removed your bra.
As he went right back to kissing you, you moved your fingers down to your inner thighs and pushed your panties to the side. As you fingered yourself and he tweaked your nipples, you kissed him even deeper, tangling your tongue with his.
"How about we film this? I would love to get some memorable home movie footage of us," Eddie offered as a suggestion.
"Well, if that's what my man wants to do, then I'm game."
He went over to the satchel he had with him and got his video camera, almost forgetting about the movie already pushing it to the back of his mind. As you were fingering yourself and getting off, he turned the camera on focusing it on you in a closeup. He replaced your fingers with his and you moved your hand to his cock, stroking it from the base to the tip, being sure to catch any pre-cum as Eddie filmed you and smiled at the camera.
"Such a good girl stroking my cock like that. Getting all hot and bothered by that porno. What a good little slut," he praised you.
You moved onto your knees and sucked him off, wanting to give him the most pleasure you could and wanting to give him what would hopefully be the best blowjob he ever had. You wanted to make it messy, so you spit on his cock to lube it up and stroked him some more before taking him into your mouth inch by delicious inch.
"That's it suck it just like that," Eddie urged you as he bucked his hips up and into your wet, warm mouth.
You took him so deep that you were practically choking on his length as you worked your mouth like a pornstar would. Drool ran down your chin and onto his cock as you pleased him. He wanted to make you feel good too and pulled you off his cock so he could kiss you. Eddie tasted himself as he handed you the camera. He then spread your legs out before him and wasted no time devouring your cunt.
"Fuck yes baby just like that," you coaxed him encouragingly as you filmed him with the camera in one hand, your other hand tangled in his brown curls.
He lapped up your juices and spread your folds as he stuck his tongue deep inside your pussy. The moans and sounds of pleasure escaping your lips were music to his ears as he eagerly sucked on your clit. He knew just how to work you with his tongue, getting even closer to making you cum as you filmed him eating you out.
"I need your cock, Eddie. Please," you begged as you zoomed in closer on the camera to get a clearer focus on his face.
"Oh really? Gonna make you feel so fuckin' good baby," he promised as he looked up at you with doe-brown wide eyes.
"Need you to fuck my pussy," you pleaded.
"Use your words first," he cautioned you with a stern look before he slapped your ass.
"Please fuck my pussy, master," you told him firmly.
He picked you up with ease and turned your body over so you were on your hands and knees for him. He made sure that the camera was getting a good shot of your pussy and his cock before sliding into you inch by a delicious inch. With clenched teeth and low grunts, he eased inside of you, loving how tightly you gripped his cock.
"I love how tight you always are for me, princess. It's so fuckin hot," he boasted as he gripped your hips, his fingers digging into your flesh, not giving you time to adjust to his length. He missed you for so long, and he desperately needed this.
His hands on his cock were no substitute for your pussy and he craved it. One of the things he missed the most besides your company was your body and pussy. Eddie loved how it looked, tasted, and felt.
"Fuck my pussy hard, sir," you begged as he fucked into you roughly, his balls slapping against your pussy.
"Fuck yes, that's my girl. So eager for me, aren't you? Like always," he growled as he fucked into you even harder and faster. His fingers found your clit, and he rubbed slow circles on it as he fucked you, his cock pumping in and out of your already wet folds. Precum formed on his cock as you rode him.
The slick sounds of wet pussy mixed with the sounds of skin slapping against skin and bare flesh were heard distinctly. The smell of sex lingered in the air and the loud sounds of your moans and Eddie's groans echoed off the walls.
Eddie was getting closer than ever to cumming and you were close to release yourself.
"Tell me how good my pussy feels," you cried out for him as you thrust your hips back onto his cock and tweaked your nipples.
"It feels fantastic. Best pussy ever," he told you as he looked into the camera. He continued to piston his hips inside of you and groaned low and deep as you moaned for him and he finger fucked you.
"I'm so close, Ed's," you warned him as his fingers and cock nearly drove you over the edge.
He slapped your ass and kept his fast pace as he fucked you harder and harder, causing you to cum all over his cock and cry out his name.
"Gonna cum. Where do you want it?" He asked you seductively.
"Inside me, please. Inside."
With just a few more thrusts he found his release cumming deep inside of your pussy, making a complete and total mess of you.
Soon after you and Eddie had come down from your highs, there was a knock on the door. He turned off the camera and got up to see who it was. Once he was aware, that it was Steve, he began putting on his clothes.
"It's Harrington," he informed you.
You got dressed as well and got up to go to the door with him. Once he opened the door, Steve noticed your flushed cheeks and Eddie's sex hair.
"Well, I didn't want to interrupt anything. Just wanted to say hi again and catch up since you are back. I'll just go through if you want me to," he stammered, trailing off now.
Eddie whispered to you, asking if Steve should stay and see the video. You whispered back an eager 'yes.'
"You weren't interrupting. Come on in." Eddie gestured with his hand to the living room.
Steve walked in and followed you both to the couch.
"We have a home video. Wanna watch?" Ed asked with raised brows.
"Sure why not?"
He pressed play, eager to see what Steve's reactions would be like. Steve became a bit flustered as the movie began becoming more sexual. You soon notice Steve's visible bulge in his pants, wanting to go again and feeling turned on by him watching your sex tape.
"Touch yourself. I can tell that you need it," you whispered in Steve's ear.
Eddie noticed Steve's erect cock and grimaced. He felt turned on himself and was pleasantly surprised at how the night's events were turning out.
"You are so hot, Y/N," Steve told you as you patted his bulge.
"Take a turn with her if you want to, Steve. Be my guest, man," Eddie told him with a crooked grin on his face.
"Touch me, Steve. Do anything you want to me," you pleaded, wanting him to defile you.
You met Steve's lips in a kiss, tasting him. You had waited so long to do this. You got up, straddled his lap, and then kissed him as Eddie began filming.
"Let's take this to the bedroom. Make another movie," Eddie suggested, all smiles.
"I have a confession to make first though. I was looking through the Family Video rental history and well I found out you guys had rented that adult film. Was on my break when you were there so it was pretty easy to figure out what you two would be up to tonight. I also was outside watching from the window for a bit so…" He trailed off with a slight blush once he confessed this to you and Eddie.
You secretly wondered how much he did see. Well, it didn't bother you that much, but his confession was good to hear. Despite going out before on one date with Steve, you hadn't done anything except heavily make out. Both of you knew Steve was secretly a bit of a perv even if he didn't admit it. When he was at your place before he had stolen panties. It was unspoken between the two of you but you knew he had done it. If he had done it while you were away for college and snuck in to steal more you wouldn't be surprised either.
"Doesn't make a difference to me. How about you baby?" Eddie smirked as he held your hand.
"I think it's fine. I mean we are all adults here, aren't we? But Steve I have a question have you taken my underwear before?"
Steve's cheeks flushed and he tried to form words at first but nothing came out.
"Yeah I did. Maybe once or twice," he admitted with red cheeks.
"Well as long as you admit its alright then."
With that you picked up your used panties and stuffed them in Steve's back pocket which made him grimace.
"I have a confession too, Harrington. I also have a crush on you. Hey, you like my girl, she likes you, and you like her. Let's all have some fun," Eddie admitted as he reached out to tap Steve's shoulder.
"Really? Then prove it," Steve dared to challenge Eddie with crossed arms.
"Wait for the cameras to start rolling, big boy," Eddie told him with a big grin.
"Since that is settled then let go," you told them firmly taking charge.
You got up, your hand still linked with Eddie's, took Steve's hand, and all of you went into the bedroom with the camera and tripod in tow. Eddie and Steve kissed passionately for the camera with tangled tongues. You came countless times just from giving Eddie and Steve head and with the help of your fingers. As you took turns giving each of them head, they helped you with the blowjobs. You and Eddie going down on Steve, then you and Steve going down on Eddie. It was the hottest fantasy come to life. In turn, you were a total and complete mess for them as they took turns eating you out. Then they fucked you- Eddie from behind and Steve from the front. They used all your holes, and you were more than happy to let them use you like a fuck doll as everything was filmed. Going into this threesome, you had hopes of making one of the hottest videos ever, and it turned out to be just that. After that night together, you confronted Steve telling him you knew he had stolen underwear of yours in the past and as his cheeks became flushed you slipped a pair of your nice lace panties into his hand. Something told you that a repeat of that night would happen again and you were pretty sure Eddie and Steve both would be just fine with that because you definitely were.

BSC: Back to School (1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
n/a: You all know the drill, enjoy and let me know <33
INDEX
It did not hit you that the summer was over until you were in your shared room and a T-shirt landed in your face. You throw it back to the owner, your best friend and the most fabulous person in the building, Dina.
“Are you not going to unpack? We have to get ready for the ‘Welcoming dinner’, hurry up, put your uniform on!” She was almost done with her suitcase, putting it under the bed once she did. Her hair was in a messy ponytail, she could see that as she approached her vanity with a brush, freeing her hair from the tie, her dark curls fell gracefully on her shoulder, she was focused on brushing them until her eyes looked at you in the mirror.
You were sat in your bed with a frown in your lips, you had such a nice summer and you wanted to extend it more, It’s not like you hated the school but homework, exams, activities you are obliged to do… that’s not something you like. The stare of Dina was too intense making you stand up and start undressing to put on the uniform which consisted in a dark brown skirt, a plain white shirt with a red, white and black tie and a light brown blazer with the pin of the school.
This year you had a glow-up, it’s not as if you were bad looking the other years, but this one? You were radiant not only because the uniform finally hug your body in a right way but because you caught Jesse watching you once you enter accompanied with Dina, that made you jump a little bit once you two were out of his sight, screaming on Dina’s ears. The cold bedroom made your enthusiasm go down and that’s when you sat on your bed and realized that you were at school.
“I can feel it in my bones, this year is my year” you said applying kiwi chapstick in your lips, doing the sound ‘pop’ twice “The way he looked at me? He’s obsessed”
Dina couldn’t help but laugh opening the door of the room “He soooooo is, now, let’s go dine, delulu”
“I’m not delusional!” you protested following behind her “Why are you walking so fast?”
You catch up to her her, linking you arm to her as you two laughed in the hallway, casually saying ‘hi’ to others girls that were heading to the dinning room. The school was enormous, so the girls and boys rooms where in different ends, each of the with the same installations such as common room, community showers, etc.
In the middle it was the dinning hall, the library, the music room, the principal and professor’s offices and more, there were three hallways that connected to the other building where classes where taught, you could find you locker there and the study room. The school was surrounded but a lot of woods and deep into them, there was a cabin where sometimes people threw parties but it was mostly for the third years to use exclusively whenever they wanted, you needed an invitation to go there.
“Hate this” You said standing behind your chair “Why do we have to wait? Can she just give her speech while we eat?”
Dina rolled her eyes shushing at you, you rolled them too looking around the room while the principal was giving the speech on how this was a new year and blah blah blah, you couldn’t care less as your eyes landed on the most amazing guy in the room, Jesse. A dreamy sigh left your mouth as you look at his perfect styled black hair, how amazing that shirt was on his chest and arms ¡Oh, his muscles! You could moan just to think of touching them.
The silly smile that adorn your daydreaming face faded as you saw a hand on his shoulder, your eyes diverting your attention to the girl besides him, his “bestfriend” Ellie Williams. Of course, she couldn’t be one minute away from him, always by his side, you’ve heard rumors that she usually sneaks to go to his room AT MIDNIGHT.
You found it outrageous, they never officialese anything but you knew there was something between them. Everyone in the room started clapping and so did you, shaking your head to let those thoughts fell ans sit down to start eating. “I’m so mad right now, I feel less hungry”
“Then why are you filling your plate?”
“Because I am hungry, Dina!”
“I am not your enemy, don’t talk bad to me” She put some rice and peas on her plate and filled her and your cup with water.
“I know, sorry, It’s just- Doesn’t she have anything else to do then be around him?”
Dina looked at the direction you were so fixated, watching Ellie and Jesse eating and laughing with the rest of the people in their table “They are best friends, you and I are always together, attached to our hips”
“It’s not the same and you know it”
She huffed exhausted knowing that you could go for hours talking about those two, so she just started talking with somebody else, you later joined in once your stomach was relaxed and you felt more happy and enthusiastic. When the dinner finished, everybody left slowly the room, some talking with other about the summer, others on their phone or simply walking but ¿You? You were sprinting to your room, tugging your bestie with you.
There was going to be a party in the cabin, everybody beside first years was invited, that meant more time to appreciate the beauty of your soon to be boyfriend. You were excited as you opened your wardrobe searching for something good but not too much.
“I need to look like a slut but not like a slut, you know hat I mean?” you asked Dina showing her two tops and waving them, she pointed at the one in your right “Cool”
She started getting ready too, flared jeans and a cute top was her outfit, she was not going to touch her hair again, she just applied some mascara and she was done. You felt kind of jealous of how pretty she was, and her personality? She was amazing.
“Look at that ass, girl!” you hyped her up slapping it “Are you trying to end the year with boyfriend just like me?”
“Something like that…” she shrugged. Her phone started vibrating, it was a call, you assumed, because it kept going “I’ll take it outside, are you ready? let’s go in five”
You nodded looking at her taking up the call with a ‘wait, I’m not alone’ as she went outside. Whatever, you had to practise your smile and the tone you wanted to use, ugh, this was hard, flirting was hard ¿Why couldn’t you just cast a spell on him and start dating? Skip all the awkwardness and straight to be the love of each others lives.
The door opened and Dina knocked looking at you “Come on! Everyone is gone!”
“I’m ready”
The walk towards the cabin was more sneaky than anything, it wasn’t until you were close that you could hear the music and see the bonfire outside, most of them were already drinking or smoking. The nervous feeling in your stomach was growing, you were hoping to look good, you were hoping for tonight to be the start of something good.
“Let’s have a drink to calm you down, honey” She said sensing how tense you were “Something light but enough to relax”
Inside the cabin there was too many people, you did not cared about that, you cared about not being able to spot Jesse anywhere, not outside, not inside. “Maybe coming today was a mistake”
You look at the inside of the cup that was handed to you frowning your lip in a sadly way, Dina shook her head holding your hand and taking you to the middle of the room, spin you and make you dance. Rolling your eyes you started dancing with her, having fun for a moment, sipping on your cup and maybe adding a little bit of more liquor in it.
Dina had her phone on her hand, checking time to time “Uh- I have to go outside for a moment, I’ll be right back!”
“For what? Dina!”
She was gone from your eyesight, you hated that, this has been her behaviour the whole summer too. You thought that maybe she had a sneaky link but eventually she would talk about it with you ¿Guess what? Almost 3 months and she didn’t.
You let yourself fall in a space in the couch, taking out your phone and replying to some messages from other friends, it’s not like you were 100% a loner but the only one who got you and you could be yourself was Dina.
“Why the sad face? This is a party”
You turned facing the stranger that was talking to you, just to find the face of the last person you wanted to engage in a conversation “None of your business”
She laughed while drinking whatever was left in her cup “Hey, I was just trying to be nice, your loss cause I’m actually very funny”
“If I need someone to make me laugh, I’d hire a clown, are you a clown?”
“Whatever you want me to be, I could” Ellie lock her eyes in yours, your mouth opened slightly narrowing your eyes as you moved aside.
“Yeah, no… Where’s Jesse? I mean-” you cleared your throat, you couldn’t give yourself away, letting Elie know your feelings for her best friend “You guys are always together as if you too were something more than friends”
There, you said it, now just wait to see her reaction or response. She stayed silent for some seconds before bursting into laughter, what was so funny? You didn’t get it.
“Oh, god, you are so funny” She wiped away a tear that came from laughter. “First of all, I like girls”
“You like girls?! Since when?” You were confused, you’ve never heard of this, not even in the gossip forum. That meant that Ellie was not competition any more, this was your year! You were screaming mentally and jumping all around.
“Yeah and I don’t know”
“Cool” now you could gift Ellie one of your friendly smiles, you turned your body on her direction, putting all your attention on her. She must have felt the shift in the whole vibe because now she was the one moving aside. “What were you saying about you being funny?”
The time went flying, you found her very entertaining, she actually someone you could easily talk to about anything ¡Gosh! You could have befriended her a long time ago if you weren’t so judgmental. You barely noticed when Dina came back and touched your shoulder.
“Finally! Where were you?” She sat in your lap.
“Outside, I told you. Hi, Ellie”
“Hi, Dina” she said kind of nervous, scratching the back of her head. You looked between them two as the energy was starting to feel off, that was until Jesse appeared in the picture in front of Ellie.
“Ellie, some of us are going to play poker, do you want to join?” He turned to look at you and he smiled “Hey, girls”
You silly laughed, biting your lip slightly before saying ‘Hi’, you couldn’t believe he was talking to you, even if it was just courtesy, HE WAS TALKING TO YOU. He said ‘Hey, beautiful lady that I want to marry soon’ with his eyes.
“Yeah, let’s go” Jesse helped her get up from the couch and you wished to be her at that moment to just casually touch him “See you around”
She was talking to you, but your eyes were only on her friend, Dina had to pinch you discretely for you to react “Oh, yeah, see you!”
Ellie waved ‘bye’ before disappearing from the room. You finally could breath and giggled pushing the dark haired girl out of your lap and to the couch, not only you found out Ellie liked hers but also Jesse talked to you, the tarot reader was right, this year was the year of love for you.
“Can we go? I’m so sleepy”
“Yeah! We have so much to talk and scheme tonight, I just found out about something so fundamental!”
“Fine by me if that means you’re going to talk alone and let me sleep while you pretend I’m not”
“Yeah”

Max Hightower, a senior at Sherman High School in North Texas, always loved theater. He sang in his school’s chorus and was in school plays but had never landed a speaking part.
Then, two weeks ago, he was cast as Ali Hakim, a leading role in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Oklahoma,” after another student was cut from the roster.
“It was just overwhelming,” the 17-year-old told HuffPost. “I was so excited. I ran and told all my friends.”
But that joy was short-lived. Max was called into the principal’s office on Friday, where he says he was told about a “new policy” stating that students could only be cast in roles that aligned with the sex they were assigned at birth.
Max, a transgender boy, would no longer be able to play the male part of Hakim. Local outlet KXII first reported that Max had been removed from his role.
When Max left the principal’s office, he saw a line of other students who had been cast in the musical and were waiting to get the same disappointing news.
“We just had this giant cry sesh outside of the choir room,” Max said.
Sherman High students and parents who spoke to HuffPost said that about a dozen students ― transgender, nonbinary and cisgender alike ― were cut from the show because their sex assigned at birth did not match the sex or gender presentation of the roles in which they were cast. Three parents said their cisgender daughters who had been cast in male roles or wore masculine clothing for their roles were cut from the show due to the school’s new rules.
Meghan Cone, the communications director for the Sherman Independent School District, told HuffPost that there isn’t a blanket policy on how students will be cast for future performances and that she was “unable to address the number of students impacted.”
“As it relates to this particular production, the sex of the role as identified in the script will be used when casting. Because the nature and subject matter of productions vary, the District is not inclined to apply this criteria to all future productions,” Cone wrote in a statement.
Like most plays, “Oklahoma!” does not note that sex should factor in casting.
The school’s performance of “Oklahoma!” has been postponed until early 2024 because the district learned about “mature adult themes, profane language, and sexual content” in the show, Cone said, adding that the district is working to produce a version that is “appropriate for the high school stage.” The musical revolves around two fiery love triangles against the backdrop of Oklahoma’s journey to statehood, but Sherman families said the school has put on the musical in the past without any issues.
“It’s very clear to us and all the other parents and families that this isn’t an issue about ‘Oklahoma!’ itself or the content of the show,” Kayla Brooks, who said her daughter lost her part, told HuffPost. Her daughter had been cast as a male ensemble character in August.
“This is an issue about a trans kid who got cast as one of the lead roles,” Brooks said.
CJ Price, a senior at Sherman High who was also removed from her part, said that she and some of her cisgender female cast mates were told they could no longer participate because they preferred to dress as cowboys instead of wearing dresses.
Students said they were told that they would be recast in new roles that align with the school’s casting rules.
Cone said she did not know why some cisgender female students were cut for playing male roles or wearing typically masculine clothing but that the “sex of the role as identified in the script” would be used when recasting. “No recasting has occurred at this time,” she said.
Max’s dad, Phillip Hightower, said the school had been fairly supportive of his son’s transition — Max had, for example, worn slacks and a black tie when performing in concerts — and that he was “so taken aback” when he received a separate call from the principal informing him of the school’s decision to remove his son from the role.
Some parents told HuffPost that they suspect a community member complained to the school district after Max was cast as a lead, and they said they plan to raise the issue at the school board meeting next week.
“I am really disappointed that the school district didn’t take the opportunity to educate the concerned person about gender-blind casting and the history of theater,” said Betty Price, CJ’s mom. “But instead of doing that, they had a knee-jerk reaction and decided to make a policy change that has now forever ruined the history of theater at Sherman High School.”
Christina Shelton, the mother of an another transgender student, said she’s waiting to find out if a production her child is involved with will be similarly affected. Shelton’s child is in the school’s University Interscholastic League theater program, a statewide organization that brings schools together in competition.
“Is this politically motivated? Is this religiously motivated? What are you supposed to tell your kids?” Shelton told HuffPost. “It’s just not a friendly place for LGBTQ students.”
Phillip Hightower said he has been closely following how far-right forces have taken over a school district in Grapevine, just an hour south of Sherman, over the last year — including accusing a top-rated queer teacher of “grooming” students.
“That is the atmosphere we’re living in. I feel like the same thing could happen here,” he said, noting that he thinks his district has adopted more extreme and explicitly Christian policies recently.
Texas’ Republican-controlled legislature has introduced more than 140 anti-LGBTQ+ bills this year, according to Johnathan Gooch, the communications director at Equality Texas. Seven such bills have passed, he said, and have caused significant harm to trans and queer kids, including restricting access to gender-affirming care.
“I think it’s important to state blatantly it is illegal to discriminate against anyone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity under federal civil rights law, specifically Title IX,” Gooch told HuffPost.
Title IX is a civil rights law that bars sex-based discrimination, which includes protections for transgender students in any school or educational program that receives federal funding.
“It’s a difficult time to be queer in Texas, and schools need to be safe havens for these kids. It’s important that our schools affirm young trans kids, support them, encourage them in the arts and in their school work,” Gooch said. “These policies are just piling on, creating toxic climates that only further harm young people in the state.”

u were keatposting in my asks. now i must do the same in yours since my brain is so obviously filled with him. share ur keating thoughts i know theyre hiding in there!!!!!!!!
i'm just gonna thoughtsdump about this it might not be coherent?but here we go
a lot of my keating thoughts are kind of depressing uh
i think the really tragic thing about this movie (or one of them i guess) is that in the end basically everything that happened likely didn't matter enough in the long term. and one of the biggest losses is that i kind of do think that after keating left, almost none of the students would continue to apply what he taught them. the biggest exceptions to this would be todd and sort of half charlie, i do pretty much agree with the post canon idea that it's likely that todd would end up an english teacher. and i think that he's probably the only person who would genuinely continue to actually apply what keating taught him. charlie i think would continue to be rebellious for a bit longer and then eventually sort of fall in line with what his parents wanted from him in the end, the best outcome is probably that he'd go on to be some sort of artist but i don't think it's super likely that that's what he'd do long term/all the time if that makes sense. for the rest of the poets, i think they'd all go back to how they were before pre-keating. i think you mentioned that neil was really the person who understood keatings lessons the best, which i agree with, and him dying likely prevented the rest of the poets from really getting it before keating left. basically my thought about this is that at the end of the movie, todd and keating are both fundamentally changed, but the rest of the poets aren't, and how much they were able to change is not enough to create a lasting impact.
on a lighter note someone said that possibly the most impressive mark of what keating did was that hopkins stood up on the desk at the end. and while i think that the combination of todd being able to stand up on his desk first, and how keating and neil made it possible to do so is more impressive, i think it maybe comes in in close second for me (i know i just went on a tangent about this not mattering that much but it did matter a little bit and this is still very impressive. like the guy shown to be the Most skeptical stood on the desk that's a lot)
i've seen a theory floating around every once in a while that keating's experience with the first dead poets society might have been similar to what happened with neil, like he had a friend in the society who also committed suicide, and i kind of don't like that theory very much? i guess there are a few elements to it, the biggest being that if someone died the first time, i don't think that keating would even entertain the thought of restarting it. and the second is that i honestly think we could come up with something a lot more interesting.
keating went to welton during ww2, (there's a small possible plothole/timeline issue which is that nolan tells keating he taught english "way before you're time," per the annual, keating begun attending welton in 1941, when nolan was probably about 40 and i suspect not principal since there isn't really any familiarity between the two. my personal theory which i actually really like now that i'm thinking about it is that nolan wasn't at welton from 1941-1944 for some reason, probably ww2 related. not sure Exactly how, nolan's old enough that it's unlikely he would've actually fought unless he had been in the military before, but that could also be interesting, idk there's a lot of possibilities) the us joined ww2 at the end of 1941 so for almost the entire time keating was in school, that would have been going on. and i think that would have put a very unique type of stress on the school and i think it would be really interesting to think about the poet's experience during that time. what i do think happened in lieu of someone dying is probably that they got in some significant amount of trouble at some point, or possibly that they didn't exactly get in trouble but that there was some other issue related to the administration.
other interesting details from the annual: keating was varsity soccer captain and editor of the school annual, likely how he got dps under his name. also btw keating was the soccer coach during the movie if that wasn't clear since the soccer team is. just keatings class minus cameron whose doing fencing. and i only realized this after reading the book (which i do not reccomend if you want to read the book just read the old script it's got all the same stuff and i honestly think the writings better in the script)
anyways i think we should come up with more theories about the original dead poets. bc i think that could be interesting.
i think we were kind of talking about the keating/neil parallels a bit and i'm just gonna talk more about that as well bc i'm a bit insane about it. so like as previously mentioned!!! neil is the one who fundamentally understood keating the most probably (todd and charlie also understood keating but in different ways kind of??? and i think you've spoken about this before too) and there's a lot of like; keating likely starting the original dps/neil starting dps 2.0, both being editors of the school annual (sort of), both encouraging people (todd) to express themselves in ways they might not have thought possible
the way keating and neil's storylines end are also similar. they both set out with a specific goal and while they are successful at first, they are both stopped in ways that are ultimately kind of catastrophic. not fully coherent about this yet but. wanted to add it.
also just wanted to briefly mention keating and mcallister bc i really liked their relationship, all of m thoughts have already been said but i just wanted to add that
keating is in a position where he understands what his students are going through in a way that none of the other teachers do and throughout the movie i honestly think his goal was at least partially just to make their lives just a little bit better. like some of his students would get it and some wouldn't, but for all of them they have one class where the teacher is nice and not as strict or exhausting or gives them ridiculous amounts of homework. and even if keating is just. the one class that's a little bit easier. that still probably helps so much with how the environment at welton was. obviously keatings ultimate goal was probably to teach his students to think for themselves and about what they specifically want but i think the smaller impacts of like. ok here's one class where the teacher isn't a hardass is meaningful too.

Botany...Of Course, Pt 1
Summary: Peyton is the new Botany teacher at Nevermore. They are a telepath. They find themselves on a trip with Principal Weems. They discover what happened the year before they became a teacher at Nevermore, amongst other things. (Multiple parts)
Tw: None?
Note: This is my first fanfic, I don't know if it's any good! Let me know though. PS. I'm in love with Larissa :) ~2300 words
Tumblr media
You were the new Botany teacher at Nevermore. You didn’t hear much of what happened last year, but judging by the fact that nobody wanted to talk about it, it wasn’t good. All you knew is that the botany teacher had died, and Larissa almost did too. Around three months ago, your friend Ren who worked at Nevermore told you to apply for the position as you had just graduated from your teaching degree. You were extremely grateful that Principal Weems had decided to give you a chance. Being 25, you felt really young and immature around other teachers, so you always tried to be incredibly professional and helpful.
One Friday you were walking to your room after classes. As you walked through the main doors to outside, Larissa was coming in. “Oh Peyton, I haven’t seen you this week, how are things?” she chirped when she saw you. She was wearing her green dress and matching coat with black gloves. This was your favourite outfit of hers if you’re being honest. “Hi Principal Weems, things are great! I’m learning a lot and the students are so well behaved.” “Well, so far, but that’s great to hear!” she said in a tone that seemed a bit hopeless, but caught herself. She paused for a moment and looked you up and down. You didn’t know if that was the end of the conversation and you should go? It sounded like she was going to continue. She was still staring at you, a slight smile on her face ,like she was pondering something. You stared back at her, eyes drifting to her outfit. You loved her style and how she was so confident and put together all the time. You envied her, for more reasons than just that. "You know, I don't have any plans for tonight, care to join me for some wine? Or just to talk if you're not into that. 8pm?" she asked you so sure, and batted her eyelashes when she did. You stuttered when you answered, surprised she would want to spend any time with you. "Yes, uh- sure Principal Weems, I would love to!"
You were facing her grand office doors, your phone read 7:50pm. You were trying to pick an outfit and get yourself together all night, you were surprised you weren't late. Confidence and having your crap together wasn't exactly your strong suit. With ten minutes to spare, you went for a walk through the hallway. Looking at some old photos, you noticed Larissa in one, a photo of award winners from 1991. She won a Literary award and a…Botany award? You thought that was the cutest thing ever. Young Larissa, how you would've loved to meet her. You knocked on her door once and when you went to knock again it opened. She stood there, her face lit up. You weren't surprised she was in a good mood, it was a Friday night, "Ah Peyton, come in!" You walked in and stood in the middle of her office as she gestured for you to sit on the sofa in front of the lit fireplace. As you sat, she poured you a glass of wine and took a sip from hers. She passed it to you and sat next to you, crossing her legs, her knee touching yours. She didn't say anything, just looked at you, again. You were usually uncomfortable with people staring at you, but you couldn't say much, you did the same to her. "I really like your dress, it looks stunning on you" you said, sounding nervous but giving her a sincere smile anyway. Ugh, why couldn't you just say 'I like your dress' and leave it at that, she's going to think you're a weirdo. "Why thank you, I did get it made specially for me" she said with a wink. Of course she did you thought, it hugged her perfectly, as it should. You grinned and looked away, trying to hide it. She asked you about your classes and how you felt with this being your first teaching job. Truthfully you loved it. The kids seemed so happy to be here and learn, and you loved teaching. You didn't know if you would when you took your degree, but you're glad you ended up here. "I'm really grateful to you Principal Weems, I think this was the best place for me to start my teaching career" you beamed at her after a couple glasses of wine. "Well good, I'm so glad to hear that."
You wanted to ask her about last year, about what happened and why the botany teacher died. You didn't want to ruin the mood though, or have her thinking about the time she almost died. You could, of course, try to find it in her memories, but only if she would allow you to. "So, do you have anything interesting going on lately?" you asked, genuinely curious. She poured another glass for you and her, and took her time to answer. "I am going to a principals conference in two weeks, it's being held at a very fabulous hotel in Tennessee" she trailed off, looking into the fire. Looking back at you, "I do feel rather lonely going though, usually I wouldn’t mind, but lately I just want someone to share things with, you know?" You did know, you knew all too well. Was this an invitation? Or was she just confiding in a friend? You weren't the best at picking up on hints or social cues. "I'll come with you" you said in a sarcastic tone, looking into the fire. You would go with her, but you didn't know if she wanted that. "What would you do when I go to the conference?" Oh, she was serious. "Well, I've been there before, they have some shops, including coffee and really good pretzels and cinnamon buns, and they have three different conservatories, it's absolutely incredible. I can get some ideas for our conservatory, maybe you can write it off as a work trip." You were surprised with your response, and so was she. You didn't realize how much you would love to go on vacation, especially with Larissa. She thought it adorable how you called it 'our' conservatory. She smirked down into her wine glass for a minute, then at you. "That sounds very convincing Peyton. If you really want to go, I can book your flight. Unfortunately, we would have to share a room. There are no more available, it's always very busy there." Unfortunate, for who you wondered. "Oh, I don’t want to infringe on your trip Principal Weems, I know it would be much more comfortable for you to not have to stay with me." You looked up at her as she moved closer to you, "Nonsense, it will be fun getting to know each other, maybe you can teach me a thing or two…about Botany, of course."
You leave tomorrow. Since Principal Weems proposed you go to Tennessee with her, you have only talked to her about your trip details. You were excited to get away for a few days, but being alone with her for that long scared you. What if she thought you were boring, what if she thought you didn't like having fun, or what if she thought you weren't responsible or professional? You didn't know which was worse. You had a gift, you thought, you had telekinetic abilities. Not very typically though, like feeling emotion or reading peoples thoughts. Yes, you could move things with your mind, but you were more telepathic. You could see a memory in someone's mind if it was a very joyous or very traumatic one. You could erase a memory/knowledge from someone's mind, and you could give someone knowledge as well. If anything went really wrong, Larissa wouldn't remember it, if you had something to do with it. "So, you're going away with the principal. Tsk, tsk Peyton, does she know you're into women?" Ren loved making fun of you over anything you did. You've known each other for so long, you both loved to bat back and forth. "No, she doesn't, and she's not going to Ren...because it's not like that." "Well, I've worked here for years, and she has never asked me on a trip, but whatever you say Peytato." You packed your favorite clothes, some dress pants and nice shirts, a dress and maxi skirt, your favorite penny loafers and platform sandals, and a black two piece in case you went swimming. "Toni, these bras and underwear are frigging old, are you trying to turn her away?" You didn't know how many times you had to say it. "Ren it doesn't matter, nobody is going to see them" you sighed. "Bullshit, we're going shopping so get ready, now!"
As you both arrived to the airport, you were nervous to get on the plane. It had been awhile since you were on one. You thought that it was fun to take off, but the rest of the trip was anxiety ridden and you could never relax, let alone sleep. As you boarded the plane you took your seat and looked out the window. You had booked your ticket after Larissa, so you couldn't get a seat next to her. As a man sat next to you, you became increasingly more nervous. You didn’t like feeling of doing something scary alone, let alone sitting next to a stranger, a man, doing it. Looking around to see where she was sitting, you bit your nails, you couldn't find her. She saw you looking for her with worry on your face and nails in your mouth. She was sat two rows behind you, and would've been so easy to catch if you had just looked back. Putting your head down you fiddled with your ear buds, maybe they would help with the noise. You closed your eyes and leaned your head against the window. A few minutes later you felt someone's hand on yours, and you froze, not wanting to open your eyes. You realized a mans hand wouldn't be this warm, this soft, this- you opened your eyes, red nails. You looked up beside you and Larissa was sitting there, giving you a reassuring smile. "Rissa, this isn't your seat" you beamed at her, being so relieved that you weren't alone. She smiled wider at your use of her nickname, "I know, I asked that man to trade seats. I saw you looking for me. Do you get nervous on planes? Why didn't you tell me?" You didn’t tell her before, you didn't want her to worry about you. "Yes, I just don't like them, they're loud and crammed and I always feel alone. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to bother you, since we didn't have seats together." "Well, we do now love."
You were laid back next to Larissa, chest rising and falling slowly. She watched you sleep, glad that you were no longer nervous. She thought you looked so beautiful and at peace. You later awoke with a jolt and looked around, just turbulence. All of the sudden you were hit with the urge to listen in on peoples conversations, and you found yourself detecting whether they were being truthful with their words. or not. One man sitting behind you, "Yes, I brought the gift for your sister"- lie, a flight attendant, "We don't have any juice left" - lie, a woman in front of you, "My husband is picking me up when we land" - blatant lie. "Ugh, Wednesday Addams will be the death of me" you look to Larissa who is in a huff, totally engrossed in and typing away on her laptop. You didn't know if she was talking to you or if she even meant to say that aloud. You observed her, her nose was scrunched up, her lips were pursed, otherwise she looked perfect. Perfect posture, perfect hair, perfect outfit, perfect jewellery, soft hands with nails painted perfectly -wait. You didn't pay attention to what she really said, you were too caught up in observing her. "Larissa, what did you just say?" Looking at you confused, she tilts her head and tries to recall if she had even said anything. "Oh, I didn't mean to speak aloud, apologies for waking you." You were asleep? "No worries, but what did you say?" Typing away again, you waited for her reply. "I think I said that Wednesday Addams will be the death of me" she said with a chuckle. You stared at her as your heart ached a bit, you didn't detect that as a lie, though you couldn't say it was the truth, you couldn't see into the future. She caught you staring, "Peyton what's wrong?" Nobody knew you could detect lies, as it was something new to you, and it only came on at random. In fact, nobody knew of your telepathic powers, besides the fact that you could control objects with your mind. "Uh, nothing, all good" you said softly with a forced smile. Turning back to the window, Larissa shut her laptop and put her hand back on yours. "You looked so peaceful sleeping, I'm happy you passed some time getting rest." You smiled up at her, her face so sincere, so true were her words. "I never sleep on planes, I guess I must feel safe enough with you that I can relax." She gave your hand a squeeze, "Only 20 more minutes" she said with excitement in her voice. You smiled, relieved to be landing soon. You took a chance and laid your head on her shoulder, hoping to god that she wouldn't reject you. To your surprise, she laid her head on yours and said in a low almost vulnerable tone, "Peyton, thank you for coming with me. This is so much better than being alone."

Tumblr media
Chrissy doesn't know what she’s doing.
She really doesn't know what she’s doing.
She puts the car in park and tries to calm her nerves.
It’s going to be fine. She’ll knock on the door and Eddie will sell her sleeping pills and she’ll finally, finally be able to sleep through the night. She has nothing to worry about.
She gets out of her car and walks up to the door of Eddie’s trailer, looking around before she knocks on the door.
The door swings open after a minute and Eddie looks at her for a beat like he’s not sure what he’s actually seeing is true.
“Chrissy Cunningham. Do my eyes deceive me?” Eddie has a smirk on his face and Chrissy gulps.
“Your—no, it’s me,” she says awkwardly, bringing her hand up to wave at him.
She hasn't really seen Eddie since graduation—in the sticky, late May heat—when he flipped the principal the bird and ran off the stage with his diploma in hand, the same smirk on his face that he’s wearing now.
She thought he was probably going to be one of the people who left town immediately after graduating because he didn't seem to like it here, didn't seem to have any reason to stick around now that he’s graduated.
She thought he’d be peeling out of town in his van before the sun even went down the day of their graduation.
So she was surprised when she saw him the other day—just catching a glimpse of him from behind as he was leaving Melvald’s.
And she’s been hemming and hawing for days now about driving up to Lover’s Lake and trying to find Reefer Rick because she can't talk to her parents about how she’s not sleeping and she’s not with Jason anymore and he wouldn't have been able to help her even if she was.
She finally decided to come here when she realized that she doesn't even have her friends to talk to about any of this either.
It’s not that they all abandoned her when she and Jason broke up, but her friends are all dating his friends and he was always around and Chrissy hated how sad he always looked at her whenever they all hung out.
So she drifted further and further away from them as the school year came to a close. Even with the anxiety about college, she thinks it’ll be good to get a fresh start, away from Jason, away from most of her friends who don't really feel like her friends anymore.
Maybe after some time, some distance, she could talk to her friends again, but she can't even remember the last time any of them reached out to her, so it would feel weird reaching out about this now.
And because of all that, it felt a little bit like fate, seeing Eddie, still very much in town. She formulated this plan to get sleeping pills or something from him because he’s the only one she knows that might be able to help her besides Rick, and she’d much rather take her chances with Eddie than with Rick.
“What can I do you for?” Eddie asks when she doesn't say anything else. He tucks his hands into his pockets, leaning forward into her space.
“Can I come in?” she asks, nervously picking at her fingernail.
“Uh, sure,” Eddie says, not sounding sure at all, but he opens the door wider and steps out of the way, gesturing her inside with a sweep of his hand.
She steps past him and tries to remember to breathe. It’s fine, everything is fine.
read the rest on ao3!

AOT Freshman Year Headcanons✨
(as collective, chaotic things I've witnessed)
Eren- He offered the door to his crush but got nervous and annoyed of the butterflies, so he slammed the door in front of them.
Mikasa- Arrived at school at 5AM, just to satisfy her habit of reading in the dark. Let's say she did achieve her very-dream of being a gothic princess as screams echoed the room when opened. [Let's be real, who wouldnt be creeped tf out with someone with pale skin, black clothes, dead eyes, and a cold voice in a dark, suffocating, traumatic classroom? Our girl became an epitome of a white lady.]
Armin- Cried for having an 95%, like bro bffr he's the highest of the batch, but just because of the singular item on how he wasn't able to apply the Proportional Congruence Postulate thoroughly, he'll whine about it for the rest of the week.
Sasha- Prepares a full-course meal to school in the morning and at the same time, begs people for food, possibly asking money to splurge it on more snacks.
Connie- Hacked into the principal's computer to help Jean with the stalking cuz his beloved friend wont stfu about a certain someone. (Spoiler alert, didn't get caught.)
Jean- fell in love with a caring ass teacher after seeing her dolled up for an event after school.
Ymir- Was advised by a morality teacher to go to Confession, read the Bible everyday, pray the Rosary after every meal, and seek mental help LMFAO
Historia- Volunteered to clean the dishes after cooking class.
Reiner- Had a mental, spiritual, identity, sexuality, and a mid-life crisis amidst a career talk.
Pieck- Slept through 3 periods without getting caught.
Hange-Explained Covalent, Ionic, and Metallic Bonds using formulas at a class discussion. They explained it so passionately and excitedly that no one, not even the teacher understood because bestie was just that advanced 💀 HELP
Erwin- Listened to podcasts to apply to a planned and perfected presentation.
Levi- Didn't sleep at an exam week with the help of 5 literal Liters of Coffee just to prove Hange's scientific theories on the negative effects of sleep deprivation wrong.
Yelena- Joined the basketball varsity team without knowing anything a single bit about basketball to impress a crush and actually passed. (Just bc of bro’s height privileges)
--------------------------------------------------
A/N: I miss aot so much. Even if the seasons have changed, I'm still in disbelief that its over. To feed in my delusions, this is how I cope with the grief.)

Can I get a ML Salt Prompt? With a hint of Felinette.
There are things that Sabine Cheng doesn't like when it comes to her daughter well-beings. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Caline Bustier treats her daughter as a servant doing the teachers job when its suppose to be her job to do it not her daughter. She heard complaints from her daughter at the trapdoor but also finding out that she is Ladybug and the Guardian of Miraculouses but she also knows that her daughter is MDC from the very start. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Lila Rossi for targetting her daughter by manipulating the principal and her daughter's classmates she had decided to do something about before Caline Bustier. She had a hunch that this girl is trying to blame her daughter for something she didn't do it happen before when she was young. She depises bullies. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Alya Cesaire treats her daughter as a doormat but also asking for free stuff even she told her mother to pay for it she doesn't do it. Yet she still wants free stuff like the designs that her daughter makes she did not like it one tiny bit. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Adrien Agreste who seem to be a sweet boy but after her daughter told her the advice that he told her, she was not having it. She told this to Nathalie and Gabriel to discipline Adrien about this high road advice towards her daughter that is enabling bullies for no reasons even Gabriel is annoyed by that advice he had given it to Adrien but it was meant for Tabloid Reporters only but decided to do a different method for Adrien to get his high horse about this high road advice a method only for bullies. As soon as Gabriel realize that his son is on thin ice with the Dupain-Chengs he had to do something about it and possibly for Ms. Marinette Dupain-Cheng to be his future intern or Audrey. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ While Sabine decided to do something for her daughter happiness about Lila Rossi, Alya Cesaire, Adrien Agreste, and Caline Bustier they have crossed the line on the mama bear by poking it. Sabine only wants her daughter to be happy away from the toxic class and those so called friends who wanted to make her daughter as a doormat or a pushover by claiming that her daughter is a bully. Clearly she was not having it.
Sabine decided the big guns by calling her mother about the Cheng Family Company in two different branch one in Shanghai and the other in Beijing to be lent to her daughter as the heiress. But she needs her daughter to learn about the family business from her side. She called her mother about the DEAL that she made with her mother after marrying Tom Dupain.
She called one of her close friends in China by enrolling her daughter to Central Academy of Arts it was the same academy that she attended when she was young but this would be good for her daughter.
Marinette gets to be transferred to Central Academy of Arts in Beijing for her business as MDC but also for her family business too as she meets Felix Graham de Vanily along with her cousin Bridgette who is arrange marriage with another Chinese Branch Family who is the heir of CEO Long Company.
As for Chloe luckily for her she was taught Mandarin/Cantonese from Sabine Cheng she is now applying to Central Academy of Arts with Marinette away from the toxic school back in Paris that she convinced her father to stop the donating towards the Dupont for a good reason. As her father listen to his daughter's reason he was not happy about what happen when Chloe explain what exactly is happening in the school.
At the end Lila Rossi, Caline Bustier, Adrien Agreste, and Alya Cesaire got into a alot of trouble with the parents and the school board by the Mayor himself who had reported it with Sabine Cheng afterwards. The students of Caline Bustier well their parents got super pissed and decided to withdraw their children from the toxic school into a homeschool or a new school for a fresh start.
As for Nino well he apologize to Marinette before she transfer to China for her new school with Chloe Bourgeois but he still gets in trouble by his parents so he is at his new school to continue his dreams since his parents owns a Music Label Company.
The Police Officers and Roger found something at the CCTV footage in Dupont on the main part with Lila Rossi. Roger wasn't very happy with this girl being friend with his daughter after finding out this girl is working with a terrorist they did what they had to do is to arrest this girl Lila Rossi but also informing this to Nadja Chamack about it as well. Italy is in thick ice with Paris right now cause of Lila's actions. Lila's father is not happy nor her mother isn't. Lila's mother decided to disown her and fix her family honor from the embarrassment that her daughter made.
Caline got fired from the School Board for her silly methods and also enabling bullies too while Damocles gets demoted as a principal for doing his job horribly against School Board demands. But Damocles gets his redemption after realizing his mistakes but wanting to redeem it as a good principal like his brother was in from a different school.
Adrien well to him he didn't have any social skills due to his father abusing him so why not let Nino to be concerned about his well-being by calling the CPS on Gabriel clearly Nino wanted Adrien as his new brother along with Chris it would be alot helpful for him to gain social skills. Gabriel also fired Lila Rossi in person he was pissed when Chloe told him the truth about Lila sexually harrassed, blackmailing, and calling people of his son's classmates as a bad influence even if its Lila who is a bad influence to his son by some classmate of his son who sent it to him but seem to be on struggling with the CPS but decided to let it go.
Lastly Alya got the major hint of lawsuits by celebrities and Ladybug as her parents forced her to delete her Ladyblog down for posting false stories. But she has to pay the amount of money that she asked free things from Dupain-Chengs. Sabine already made a restraining order on Alya Cesaire, Adrien Agreste, and Lila Rossi for good just away from her daughter.

Hello! If requests are still open, may I please request headcanons for Sero and Shoji with a very jealous, clingy, insecure fem s/o who's that way because her ex partner cheated on her ? Ignore Shoji if you don't write about him. Thank you 💗
[ I've never written Mezo Shoji actually, at least not from what I can recall. But anything is worth a try. ]
Tumblr media
The first time he used his quirk on you was when you interrupted a conversation he was having with Ashido. You hated seeing how she made your boyfriend smile and laugh and had to put an end to it. But grabbing Hanta's arm while hissing out multiple threats wasn't the best idea and resulted in him taping your mouth shut.
He let most incidents slide thinking that jealousy was normal in a relationship, but noticing how clingy and worried you'd become when he wasn't around or talking to others concerned him. After a little investigating, he found out about your past relationship and how poorly you were treated.
"I promise, we can kiss and cuddle all you want later but...principal Nezu is coming!" you knew there were certain rules regarding relationships and dating at Yuuei, but this never stopped you from trying to show how you felt during school hours. Hanta on the other hand didn't want to get in trouble.
When you weren't in school, you were always by Hanta's side and on the rare chance you weren't you were texting him constantly. Many of your classmates and friends had tried to distract you or outright told you that you shouldn't be so clingy. But, you brushed their words off. After all, what did they know?
From time to time, you'd let your paranoid thoughts get the best of you and would ask or rather accuse Hanta of cheating on you. He noticed this usually happened when he was too busy to spend time with you. "Why would I do that? What we have is pretty great, don't you think babe?" he'd always try to reassure you somehow, but it didn't always work.
After you had gotten into a fight with someone else who was spending more time than you would have liked with your boyfriend, Hanta revealed that he knew you were cheated on in the past. "I know it's going to take a while, but we can work on your insecurities together, and just know that as long as I'm a hero, I'll never give up on you or us," he promised.
Tumblr media
Mezo always put you first, especially when you began your relationship with him and he learned how poorly your ex had treated you. He thought it unforgivable for anyone to hurt or betray you, and silently promised he'd right the wrongs that had been done to you.
You knew that having a "hero" for a boyfriend would be difficult but you didn't realize how jealous you'd be when you witnessed him saving others and how they'd praise, touch, or flirt with him. But, you also didn't hesitate to walk over and bluntly state that Mezo was yours.
He noticed that at times, you'd go through extreme measures to be by his side. Like when you purposely applied at the same agency as him for your student internship. "You know, I'd be acting the same even if you weren't here," he told you. At the same time, he didn't mind the way you clung to him during patrols.
At times, you'd try to practice self-discipline. Instead of acting on your jealousy and insecurity, you'd hold it in. This usually resulted in you becoming a crying mess and Mezo having to comfort you. "Do you really think anyone else would want to date someone who scares children with his face?" you had to admit, it was nice knowing that you were the rare type that saw past his facial features.
On some days, you felt overly clingy and didn't want to separate yourself from Mezo. He would usually accommodate you by carrying you on his back with his tentacles surrounding you as a precaution. "Your weight feels nice on my back..." he'd comment, but he also found your overall presence to be comforting.
When your one-year anniversary came, Mezo decided to surprise you with a promise ring. "Just in case you need proof that I won't disrespect or cheat on you. That I wouldn't do anything to lose you," he said, slipping the piece of jewelry onto your finger with ease.

Tyler in Season 2
A lot of people are worried about how Tyler will be portrayed in Season 2 of Wednesday. I am also concerned. 
But I’m not as concerned as everyone else seems to be!
The writers convey Wednesday’s wounds, misbeliefs, and fundamental truths clearly. And the specific truths they want us to believe make me think that they will treat Tyler’s character with compassion. 
Wednesday has many misbeliefs at the start of the show including:
Caring is a weakness: from the very first scene with Pugsley, she told him that ‘emotions’ are a weakness, but she means caring because that spurs sadness, happiness, love etc. because anger is an emotion, and she seems fine expressing that via revenge 
People are good OR evil: she reacts as if those boys are pure evil when they are likely just assholes who don’t have their shit together
People can’t change: This is shown when she implies that Dalton doesn’t deserve the chance to have children, implying that he will never ever be good or worthy in his life. This also applies to how she treats herself, she doesn’t fully believe that she is good, and so it doesn’t matter if she does evil in the name of what’s right
The best way to show love is physical violence: she put piranha in the pool to hurt Dalton and his friends to show she loves Pugsley, and she also just tortures Pugsley (waterboarding was mentioned)
Authority isn’t on your side: again, not turning them in, but enacting her own violent revenge. This also goes for parents, teachers, the school system, and the justice system in general
Normies aren’t as powerful as outcasts: She acts on her revenge as if there is no way they could hurt her back in the same capacity, and they don’t, further fueling the misbelief 
Wednesday’s Wounds
Each of these misbeliefs came from a ‘wound’ in her past. 
The main one is that her pet scorpion was murdered in front of her. She felt like those normie kids were evil, and no adult came to help her. And those kids, as far as she knows, never changed for the better. 
Another wound was that she sent her book to an editor, and they rejected her. That might not be a very old or fundamental wound, but it’s another case of her protecting something she loved (her books) with exaggerated violence (dozens of mousetraps.)
Over the course of this show, Wednesday will slowly grow by proving her misbeliefs wrong and revealing the fundamental truths of the world that the writers want Wednesday, and the audience to see. 
Tyler’s Situation
So, going back to Tyler, he will be very useful in disproving these misbeliefs.
But if the writers don’t treat Tyler’s situation with care, it will enforce Wednesday’s misbeliefs, so she won’t grow, and the show won’t be interesting to watch. 
And I think the writers know that. They addressed multiple of these misbeliefs throughout season one, but she never completely out-grew any of them. Which is a great set-up for a multi-season show
Fundamental truths that the Writers need to continue addressing (and how they connect to Tyler):
Caring is STRENGTH
They showed this in s1 with Enid, Xavier, Bianca, and Eugene all playing a part in helping save Nevermore
They can show that caring is strength if Wednesday cares about Tyler, or even if someone Wednesday knows (like Xavier, Tyler’s father, or the new principal) turns out to care about Tyler, and is able to help him out of his situation because of that caring
Everyone is part good AND evil: 
They’ve already shown me that Tyler isn’t just evil, but they need to prove it to Wednesday in season 2
If they don’t prove this Wednesday won’t be able to grow 
Like Tyler’s been saying all along, he’s done bad things, but that doesn’t make him a purely bad person
People CAN change:
They need to show Tyler’s growth! 
This will reinforce the fact that Wednesday can grow too, and help all of these truths fall into place
However, Wednesday won’t be able to see this truth right away - this is where Tyler could get hurt - but if they let him die or make him purely evil, the whole message of the entire show will fall flat 
The best way to show love is CARING: 
If the writers still want Tyler to still be a love interest (unnecessary in my opinion, but I’d live), then Wednesday is going to have to prove to Tyler that she cares about him 
But they can prove that ‘love is caring’ to Wednesday by having those around her care about her, like Enid or Xavier 
Personally, I want Wednesday to see that love is caring by Tyler’s dad caring for him
Authority CAN help: 
Weems proved to be good in the end, as well as the mayor and the therapist, and that will be helpful, but Laurel having been a teacher won’t help this progress
Someone besides a student will need to be a big part of the s2 plot to show Wednesday that adults and authority members aren’t always useless
This could be shown by Wednesday (or Xavier or Enid or another student) working with and adult to get Tyler to safety. It could be any other adult showing true compassion
I doubt Wednesday is ready to work with her parents yet - that might be an s3 hurdle
Normies ARE powerful:
This was mostly proven already in s1 via Laurel and Crackstone, but it was undermined by the fact that they still failed
The other truths would benefit from a normie being powerfully good 
This would be a great chance to throw in an amazing normie therapist who really understands Wednesday’s dark side 
I know this is a lot of information
But I've been analyzing this for a while, and I think it’s important that these ideas are out in the world. 
The writers made Wednesday’s outlook morally grey. She tased Tyler after knowing how hydes work, after all. So, at the start of season two, she likely won’t accept Tyler as a complex and real human being who deserves love. 
But I think the writers know that Tyler deserves love even if Wednesday doesn’t. And I think the writers want Wednesday to eventually know that Tyler is real and complex, and I think the writers want the audience to know that even now!
I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’m far off base. This show didn’t just become amazing by accident. A lot of thought was put into this plot, and Wednesday’s and Tyler’s characters. 
So I think a lot of thought and care will be put into how Tyler’s character is treated in season two because these truths that the writers have set up are caring and compassionate. 
Thank you for coming to my crazy long ted talk!! ❤️ I appreciate you

I like how the eventually AU gives Camila the opportunity to get another adult's perspective on Luz and the Boiling Isles during the human realm stay. Like, no offense to the kids, but when you're a parent and you're trying to determine if your child is in an okay situation, you're going to put a bit more value on the insights of a fellow adult than those of a bunch of teenagers. Let alone when the situation is that your kid had a secret summer-long stay in another dimension.
So I'm imagining one of the rare moments they get to talk when there's no kids around cuz they're all out trying to build a portal door or something, and it's like
Camila: I've just been so worried about Luz, she's always had trouble fitting in, she's never had any real friends, her teachers don't like her, it's hard for her to focus on things she's not interested in and she has trouble applying herself, I know she's smart but her grades are all over the place, she'd rather think about her fantasy worlds instead of do anything to engage with or prepare for living in the real one - except it turns out she's found a REAL fantasy world? And I'm not sure if that makes things better or worse.
Jasper: Uh, your daughter has made several very close friends and is generally accepted by the entire student body, she rediscovered an ancient type of magic usage that everyone forgot about ages ago, her teachers love her, she successfully convinced her principal to LET students study multiple tracks despite wild magic having been forbidden for fifty years, she's handled every adventure and scrape she's ever gotten into beautifully, she routinely surprises and impresses her mentor Eda the Owl Lady who was up until recently one of the most powerful people on the Isles, she broke Amity free of her parents' toxic influence and successfully deprogrammed my son out of a cult, she's friendly and creative and brilliant and everyone who knows her is extremely grateful to have her in their life.
Camila: …
Jasper: …
Both: Are we talking about the same kid?
Which is GREAT
what I love so much about Luz is how much she blossomed in this world and how much her old one stunted her. Makes me crazy that she finished human high school for whatever reason before moving permanently to the isles. I like to think Camila would see that her daughter belonged where she was happy, that the right place for her was, as much as it hurt, not here. And she would rather her be happy than be with her. Obviously she still sees her all the time but like. Luz is herself, all the way, without apology, in the world she found, and she is loved there and understood there. I think vee and Luz make such awesome- foils? Parallels? In that way. Both were brought up in these worlds that suffocated them and stepped into a place where they blossomed, where they could be genuinely truly happy. Vee had only lived in the human realm a few months when the rest of the crew showed up but she'd already fully adapted to human realm stuff! The same way Luz immediately just adapted to everything witchy. Amity and Willow panic at the sight of an alarm clock. Vee is already so familiar with this world she knows how fire extinguishers work, what human food is supposed to taste like, how to speak Spanish and use a cell phone and alarm clocks. The way Luz is like oh NO teenagers but vee just happily sits down and talks to them. These people are like her. They aren't like Luz. Luz is an outsider in the world she was born in and so was vee and it is so much better for them both that they found somewhere they could actually BE.
Anyway yeah lol this timeline Camila can really get the full perspective on how incredibly well Luz has done. From Camila's perspective her daughter ran away from home and when she came back she was wounded, traumatized and seriously depressed. She didn't see how genuinely happy and at peace Luz was there. She is totally reasonable in suspecting this place was Bad For Her.
But while Luz is unwilling to talk too much because she's depressed and all the kids have limited perspectives and probably aren't comfortable talking about luz to her mom anyway- jasper can fully be like yeah no dude you have no idea. She's a bright star people flock to. She's so confident and happy and optimistic and kind. She literally deprogrammed my child soldier son and rescued him from a cult. Won't lie to you ma'am, your daughter has put her life at risk many times and many people have tried to kill her- but they all failed because she is so strong and so loved that he is never alone. Luz is legitimately a hero.
What a wild thing to hear about your child. Both the danger she has been in but also... How much she has flourished within that danger. Your fifteen year old daughter's passion is in saving people from shark attacks or something. It's not just that she's happy, it's that she's strong, fulfilled, passionate, she's filled with a LIFE she never was before.
