K-12 english teachers are such important figures in society because you read a short story in english class when you're 13 and it lives in a piece of your heart for the rest of your life

So, suppose I began posting fake AO3 summaries featuring popular tropes, but about famous literature. Who would be down to treat them as writing prompts?

Examples (using Dorian Grey as bait because that book already has a fandom)

Dorian Grey Coffee Shop AU Dorian Grey is a philosophy major, stressed out of his mind for midterms. Basil is a barista, passionate about both coffee and his latte art Instagram page but struggling with depression. It's love at first sight for Basil. Dr. Wotton is the most popular professor at the school, but he has a reputation for affairs with students that nobody can quite prove. Dorian is in his class, but Basil just knows that the minute grades go up, he's going to make his move - and possibly ruin Dorian's life.

Frankenstein, Onecest Style A relatively young, bright-eyed Victor Frankenstein receives a dire warning about his own future. When he has the opportunity to meet his power-hungry and half-mad future self, he is horrified, and knows that he has to do something to save him. This feeling is made stronger because the future Mister Frankenstein has an innate fascination with such a scientific oddity as his temporally displaced self... and treats Victor in a way that he's never been treated before.

A Rose for Emily lich AU One day, Homer Barron wakes up.

[incorrectclassicbookquotes]

I've had to read A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner multiple times in my time in school. The first time was in my tenth grade English class. The second time was in my freshman year of college. We are now reading it again. In A Rose for Emily there is a character named Homer Barron and in the book it literally says "he liked men, and it was known that he drank with the younger men in the Elks' Club." As I've stated before in another post I went to a Catholic high school and in that class when asked what that line meant I said that Homer Barron was gay and my English teacher said I was correct. Cut to my freshman year of college, I had an extremely self described "liberal" teacher. When we read this story again I brought up Homer being gay and she basically said something along the lines of "gay people didn't exist back when this book was written." Like my Catholic school English teacher had no problem talking about Homer being gay why do you a self described "liberal" have a problem with it?

Update: We finished talking about A Rose for Emily today and my English professor said Homer might be gay so take that freshman English professor you’re apparently the only one who didn’t figure out that Homer might have been gay.

I didn't even notice this holy shit that is fucking hilarious

on a somewhat more serious note I see a lot of people complaining about Vaggie's unhealthy perspective of her relationship with Charlie and how her whole existence is devoted to supporting her partner but I think the flashback to her losing her wings helps explain it

like of course it's unhealthy, but she has room to grow and that's what storytelling is all about, and it makes sense that she is so single-mindedly devoted to Charlie because she lost absolutely everything and Charlie was the first and only new thing to enter her life since

she doesn't have other interests or reasons for living because she lost all of that when she was expelled from heaven, but I look forward to seeing her develop as a person and the evolution of Chaggie to a much healthier place

relationships in media don't have to be perfect, it's realistic that many of these relationships have unhealthy aspects but that's what makes us root for them is that they can improve

Your place is real.

It’s not just an expression. It’s where you physically belong.

You’ll feel it when you get on your knees and all fours.

You’ll feel like you’re finally home.

the fact that ml has a built in mechanism for adrien to talk to the IDEA of emilie à la the steven universe episode “storm in the room” HAUNTS me. like if he got ahold of félix’s kwagatama he could have a full conversation with the version of his mom who renounced her miraculous (and who KNOWS when that was?? as early as when she got pregnant and then handed it off to the fathoms? she wouldn’t really have had a reason to use it again after that.) oh i can’t decide if he would find this cathartic or devastating or both. your mom is dead but she’s here and she can’t answer for any of her crimes because she’s hardly even committed them yet. the crime was you. she won’t believe you were a crime. your mom is dead but she’s here and she’s so young, she’s the age she was when she conceived you, when nothing bad has happened yet and she can’t stop marveling at your face and how it is so like hers. your mom is dead and she won’t believe you now when you tell her it was your fault. your mom is dead but she’s here and she loves you and you can’t touch her, she’s real and not real at the same time, just like she was when she was alive.

#felix could also do this obviously. but in this house(my brain) we think about adrien #ml #emilie agreste #adrien agreste #anna rambles #sorry i’m thinking about emilie agreste a lot and also rose quartz. it will happen again #if the show never explores this thing they’ve set up i will………….be unsurprised #(lol) #but it is making me crazy to think about it
