Here’s an AU: what if, instead of pressuring Boq into inviting Nessarose to dance and opening THAT can of dangerously obsessive worms, Galinda went and said “Hey, you know who’s a perpetually lonely outcast who I would just loooove for you to go dance with? My dorky green roommate!”

How much of the story would change? Elphaba would probably insist that Nessa go to the dance with them, and so she still might have fun and meet somebody who’s into a more controlling, rights-taking-away-ing partner. Boq would attempt to confess his actual motivations for inviting Elphaba, and then immediately start to lie because it’s too awkward to be called out, but Elphaba would probably see through the whole “you’re beautiful” thing and call him out again. So then he’d explain that he would have gone with anyone if it’d make Galinda happy, and Elphaba breaks it to him that Galinda was probably just trying to get rid of him, and they spend the rest of the evening commiserating about the confusing rules of popularity and social gatherings and people not just saying flat-out what they mean.

And the more they talk, the more they realize they have in common. That and they’re probably the only people in the ballroom who actually care about their education. So now, much like the novel, they have become friends.

How much would this change the rest of the plot? What if, as her friend, Boq is the only one un-magicked in the Lion cub lesson, and he helps Elphaba set the Lion free? What if Boq steals all of Fiyero’s character development? (Heck, we could even be seeing a different ship, though I don’t really care.)

If Boq doesn’t get trapped with Nessa and tin-ified, then what is he doing through all of act 2? Is he directly helping Elphaba? Is he just trying to find her again like Fiyero was? And where is Fiyero now? What’s he doing? Genuinely rallying against the evil Witch, or having absolutely zero career because he never moved past his initial attitude at Shiz?

If there’s no Scarecrow or Tin Man, then what changes about Dorothy’s journey? (Actually, I know exactly what happens. She and the Lion both fall asleep in the poppies, and without their non-breathing companions to rescue them, they die a tragic death, the end.)

Without Kiamo Ko at her use, where does Elphaba hide out? Without nearly as many tragedies on her hands (would Nessa not die somehow??), would Elphaba still feel ready to give up? And if she doesn’t fake her death, then what’s the climax? Does she take some new action against the Wizard and win? Is she able to reveal the truth? Does she get to be known as good?

I don’t know. The point is that, back at Shiz, Galinda tries to humiliate two people at once by pushing Boq at Elphaba in much the same way she gave Elphaba that hat she hated, but it actually turns out for the better.

(And hey, if Elphaba still becomes friends with Galinda, and Boq is friends with Elphaba, and Boq then also becomes friends with Galinda… Hey, the guy can dream, can’t he? 😋)

#wicked #wicked musical #wicked AU #elphaba thropp #boq bfeeson #galinda upland #fiyero tiggular #apparently fiyero’s last name is spelled differently in the musical vs the novel #the more you know!

Me in my astrophysics conference: haha this guy kinda sounds like Minecraft youtuber cubfan

Me: *remembers that cubfan is an astrophysicist*

Did some frantic voice comparisons and it’s almost definitely not him but god, imagine

I know very little about astrophysics. But I am a occasional sound nerd.

Mic quality and small sound adjustments (EQ especially) can dramatically change the sound of someone's voice. It doesn't make them sound like a different person, but if used in the right ways it can do a lot in terms of magnifying the parts of someone's voice that make them sound unique and suppressing distracting other elements. The result sounds a lot more professional, and the person speaking can sound a lot more real and alive in a video as a result! However, it does mean that in real life (without the EQ and with the everyday echoes off of surrounding objects and whatnot), most of these really distinctive voices probably sound a whole lot closer to Just Some Guy. Voices, how technology perceives them, and how people perceive them are fascinating.

Point being...your astrophysics conference speaker is almost certainly still not Cub. But if he was, it might be a little harder to tell than you'd think. :)

#i think about this a lot actually #one; because i used to help with sound for a band and i very quickly learned that certain things just...illuminate a person's voice more #it's like the difference between a flat coloured drawing and one with shading; highlights; lighting; etc #it's still the same drawing; but the second one is a LOT clearer and more atmospheric #and might at first glance seem to be done by a whole other person #this means a lot of things #first; that not every entertainer is just naturally blessed with The World's Best Voice; they likely just have a good voice and great sound #which is an admirable skill that comes with lots of time and practice and i envy that #second; it means that between my utter uselessness with recognizing faces and voices in the first place; and this extra element #if i ever do meet a Hermit there's a 98% chance i won't realize it until like three weeks later #and i know i live within reasonable-ish (not likely but reasonable) distance of at least one Canadian hermit #i am probably much less likely to meet one than you are if you live in America #but i am still more likely to meet a hermit than i am to recognize that I've met one lol #and honestly i think that's for the best #they're people. I'm a person. if i did encounter one I'd want to just let them vibe #but yeah #have fun getting that education with probably-not-Cub!#sorry for the sound ramble :)#ask

20 old asks that I should’ve gotten around to answering ages ago.. 😬

Daww shucks, I’m glad I could make this year a little brighter for you. :}

Aww! Thank you! I’m so glad! I’ll be sure to keep making it! :D

Oh yeah, this show has got some good angst factors floating around in it behind the scenes.

And really? Huh, I always imagined that he was just holding it with his hand draped over his abdomen. :/

Why thank you! ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

Hmm.. headcannons? Well... let me see...

I think that chances are? Captain Barnacles would teach some other crew members how to pilot the Octopod in case of an emergency. Like Peso, Tweak and Kwazii for example, maybe even Dashi too. Kwazii already knows, but I feel like he’d get some proper lessons in case of a serious emergency.

Also, I feel like Peso would be effected by this experience quite a bit. I always imagined that growing up with a huge family? He’s used to being surrounded by loved ones and safety at all times. Now that he’s an Octonaut.. he doesn't have much of that anymore. I imagine he’s always a little on edge because of that and doesn’t like to be alone. Imagine how alone and scared he must’ve felt when every single crew member was down and out and he had to pilot the Octopod through the roaring 40s! I still don’t know how he did it.

Peso would probably become really jumpy and nervous for about a week after the incident. Not wanting to be left alone, especially not alone in the HQ. Because if he’s alone in there and something goes wrong? He might have to pilot the Octopod again.

I also feel like.. you know.. after seeing the Captain nearly pass out right in front of him? He’d be on edge and kind of following him around for a while to keep and eye on him.

There’s a lot that can be said about the aftermath and how everybody copes with what they experienced. 90% of the crew was poisoned and then their medic had to pilot their ship out of water so rough, that even the Captain himself would call a challenging task.

Just imagine if you were in the crew’s shoes, how would you feel if that happened?

I don’t blame you for not realizing I was gone, I forgot I was taking a break too XD.

As for the comfort habits? Hmm... I hope its okay that its going to be text and not a drawing. So, things that certain characters do to other characters to show affection? I cant be too sure..

For Captain Barnacles though? Its always a paw on the shoulder, its like his default. You did something very well/correctly? You in need of some comfort? He wants to show you that he cares about you? Captain Barnacles will manifest beside you and pat you on the shoulder. I think for this reason specifically, none of the crew members get startled when some one touches their shoulder suddenly. They instantly think its something positive coming from the Captain.

Maybe Kwazii would reassure them everything is going to be okay, and then go out on a mission to do everything he can to fix the situation? That sounds like something he’d do. Maybe he’s not too great at comforting people so he just seeks out to fix the problem that’s making them upset in the first place instead.

I feel like Peso would... uhm.. well.. hmm.. comfort habits, something he does do to comfort others... Uhm.. I mean, I know how he likes to be comforted, but not really how he’d comfort others..

Well.. uh.. I’m having trouble with this one. I think most of the other crew members would just stick close by to who ever needs comfort. No one really likes to be alone when they’re upset..? Sorry, my brain is mashed potato's right now, I cant think of anything coherent. <:/

If I remember correctly, I grew up with the UK version. I always would watch Octonauts on the family computer on YouTube. And YouTube only had the UK version it seemed so that’s what I’m familiar with.

It still feels so weird to hear Peso and Dashi’s new voices in the Netflix adaption I tell you what.

Daww thank you! I’m glad you like my silly little headcannons! Here, have another!

The Captain sleeps with a weighted blanket because it mimics the feeling of having a thick fur coat, which he grew up with and no longer has.

ᵇᵇʸ

Thank you!! UHG all these compliments! Its too much! XD

THANK YOU!!! :DDDD

I mean, hey, yo do you man! I personally don’t ship anyone so its none of my business. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha I will do my best, and hey! I’m flattered that you were drawn to my Transformers art! I feel like it was the least liked of my workings..

Thank you! That’s all so sweet!.. Although I wish I could say I don’t feel pressured to post more stuff.. dang near have and elephant sitting on my chest.

I feel like a case where they’d all have a sleepover is either just for funsies.. or if they all went through something really scary. Something that effected them all and they’re all still shaken up.

Perhaps then they’d all gather in one room for a night to sleep soundly, being reassured that every crew member is safe and accounted for.

If Ratchet ever did, he sure wouldn’t like him. XD

Thank you! I often use Peso’s, (and Dashi’s) British voice when thinking about his dialogue.

Hmm.. I’m not sure, I don’t know many shows. But I can probably guess what kind they’d like.

I can see the Captain liking light hearted shows/movies about family, what ever those medias may be.

Kwazii likes anything action packed and/or scary pretty much. Doesn’t even really matter what the shows about, he just likes scary and actiony things.

Peso probably likes lighthearted and comedy themed shows/movies.

Dashi probably likes romance movies, but the lighter ones, not the like.. rated R ones.

Shellington probably just watches documentary's and educational shows because he’s always looking to learn new things.

For some reason I feel like Tweak would like movies/shows that have a superhero type element to them. Like My Hero Academia for example.

I feel like Professor Inkling would probably like old timey comedy shows, like The Three Stooges! I bet he’d love that, and I’d totally watch it with him XD

They all seem like nice characters. Pinto is a pretty cool little brother, he’s always rooting for Peso you know? Aside from that one episode. Everyone’s siblings seem pretty nice.

Koshi is a little baby bean, best little sister ever.

The Captains sister its awesome, 10/10, 100%, she’s fantastic. Giving Captain Barnacles silly nicknames and being supportive of him. Telling her cubs all about how strong and brave her brother is and junk, the best sappy supportive sister ever.

Pearl seems pretty nice too, she gives off motherly/big sister vibes. Over all I think the sibling characters are pretty neat and fun, I wish we got to see them more often. <:{

Headcanons of what would be the children of boys with MC ???

Aaron:

Probably more than two, but they'd have a gap in between. Two sets of twins. And in full moon Aaron would be apprehensive.

Three boys and one girl, maybe? He is a very present father and the kids absolutely adore him! But they wonder where daddy goes in full moon... You tell them the truth, but hey, they're worried!

One day, however, Aaron turns and goes for his usual hunt in the forest, but then he hears something faintly familiar in the woods. Yelling.

"Aaron! Aaron!" He sort of knows who this is. It's his mate. He is wary, but stays put until you're in sight... With two cubs. His eyes widen comically and he snorts, jumping in surprise. He sniffs the air wildly and realizes those are his cubs. He accepts them, nodding at you and turning his back to you. You sigh in relief, knowing you can count on him, but god... They're going to eat the shoes.

You thought the other two were normal children, until Ivan yells your name into the distance and when you run to see them, well. There are four little holes on Ivan's hand while he holds a diaper. You can only sigh. Good luck, mc.

The third boy and the girl are the little bats. The boy is a little weird but that's how Aaron likes it. Hehe. Like, he's just so cute! One time he'll be right here in daddy's arms, and in the other... Huh? WhERES MY BABY? HE TELEPORTED.

And the girl! Oh, she's so sweet! Once Aaron danced for her and when she swung her fat little arms, she created a shockwave that made him fall on his bum! That's it, daddy's little warrior!!!!

He's a great dad and he'll train his kids from the beginning. He's gentle yet strict, and your kids seem to love training with him. He also likes reading with his kids and teaching them about nature and how to hunt in their human forms. (The kids like it bc the actual rewards are fruit for the cubs and frozen bunny blood popsicle for the vampires.)

Raphael:

Just a little boy.

He's tiny, and no talk him bc he angy. Yes, he's got some bite to him. He likes wearing big hats and he paints. Biggest garden assistance for Vlad. (He likes Aaron more. He has a plan of owning the garden when Vladimir dies, but he doesn't know yet... ToT)

He's very educated and supportive of people with disabilities and he learned to paint with different textures and layers so his daddy can feel his work!!!! Raphael cries every time.

Raphael is comprehensive and tends to pay his head way too much every time he does some "oopsie". He also supports his kid and teaches him how to do stuff without seeing because he thinks of the day his kid will have to fend for himself and walking at night in the dark wasn't good when he first started.

Raph trusts his kid with the boys, but Aaron and Vlad are his go-to if he can't spend some time with his kid because he knows they'd only do what they think it's best for the kid. He also eggs his son on when it comes to exploring and running around. No sun though!

(You often catch him walking around during daytime. Y'all just Do. Not. Know. How y'all can't see where he is hiding until you realize this kid can literally conceal himself anywhere. Also he's very good at not burning himself so you stop worrying at some point and he'll just start sleeping during day)

Was he doing that just to scare Raph? Oh, he'll see what's scary. No kisses tonight >| |(

He's also extremely protective of his kid even though he tries to get him to see the world. A minute late and he'll be lectured severely, so please step in sometimes or they'll fight and raph tends to cry. It's gonna take him time to realize his kid can handle himself because he's fragile in your vampire's eyes.

Beliath:

You can see her ANYWHERE. She has two beautiful curled horns and an extremely ravishing purple hair full of curls. She isn't stoppable. She's confident, smart, social, a business woman! She's five! she's not only Beliath's daughter. She is fashion itself.

Beliath is her number one fan, supporter and manager. He'll spend the rest of his life moisturizing washing combing and zipping things up and down if that means his daughter is the most ravishing kid in this city.

One day you'll wake up panting to your kid sitting in bed looking at you as if she was a psycho though. You were dreaming just now of your kid waving at you. Yep, she's got her daddy's powers. A few months later, she's going to be itching her back like crazy. Beliath is going to be jealous because hey! He had no wings! >:(

One day he'll wake up with her appearance all twisted and then she'll create the sickest illusions like a goose head and a penguin wearing glasses. You'll have a lot to teach.

Beliath scolds her A LOT and she gets grounded A LOT because she's him but smaller and they fight a lot over how she should learn how to be humble and try her best instead of just thinking she's the best but she won't listen bc... She's the best?

She's the greatest performer ever. Knows how to dance and that's what she does the most. Another party animal for you. Now turn them Barney songs on!

For some reason, she absolutely LOVES Raphael. I think it's because he's got shiny outfits and he's chill so she can brush his hair however she likes AND read her books for him. Lives rent free on the library reading princess stories and complaining about the princes.

Vladimir:

A boy. He's shy, sweet and super articulated. His hair is blonde and he loves to wear nice clothes. Another one who'll bicker with his dad like he's talking to a kid his age.

Also he can hipnotize others in a specific way that turns him invisible when he wants and he can be persuasive, but it's hard to develop your powers when your dad is always complaining about the millions of cars you left on the floor and you're grumpy so every time you hide on the walls and turn invisible he complains and you go "tch, old hack" and he hears you. Tough life, grrr.

Even though they fight SOMETIMES, all they talk about when they're together is cuddles, studying and gardening. Vladimir is the actual mom if you wanted to be addressed to as the mom, just forget it lol, if not it's fine, you have a mom for your son.

He grounds your kid and talks it out calmly because even if they fight, your kid is a very good listener and he knows when words are well-meaning.

They sleep together a lot like two old grandpas and you have the advantage of Vladimir not knowing about modern cameras. Have fun!!!

Your kid ends up growing up to be an ABSOLUTE gentleman. He's funny, smart, handsome and really educated. Momma owl Daddy is proud!!!

Ethan:

IT'S A BOY AND A GIRL. BEWARE. HELPAJDHIAJDIAJD

They're trouble. Trouble.

Ethan yells, rips his hairs off, jumps and rolls on the floor but these kids, they're absolute raccoons! The girl literally can control minds Neil style and the boy is a tracker just like his father.

Honestly they're smart, but they just like to use it to make his dad go crazy!

They love each other tho, they rarely get in trouble and they behave when you say so. They're scared *laughs evil laugh*

Ethan teaches them many things and since he can't fight so much, he sends them to train with whoever they like. The girl usually hangs into Beliath's sleeve and they get along super well. He teaches her hand in hand and the boy goes with Aaron because his tracking skills are developing. Sometimes he takes both of them and teaches them knife combat and how to be a good medical support because again, being a vampire is tough.

The boy likes embroidery and Ethan thinks he's weird because he makes some sick Dinosaurs but he tells him to go off. He likes how well made they are.

The girl enjoys violence fighting more so she trains extra hard.

Ivan:

This is the sweetest kid of the bunch. Your little girl. Is the shy baby you see clinging to their companion's shirt/pants in the street. She likes gardening herself, not with anyone else. She plants some flowers in a space Vladimir didn't use and she shoos everyone off, but gently bc babygirl is never mean... Until she finds out she has fangs

She's going to run to you crying and pull her lips up and squint as if struggling and then BAM, fangs are out! You'll have to explain with Ivan what's going on. She understands *sniff*.

Ivan is head over heels for her. They read together, they play board games and she's extremely skilled at every single one. She loves to pursue education on her favorite themes and she likes fiction.

Little girl also loves fashion and she wants someone to teach her how to sew. If you don't know it's okay, she'll put extra effort in learning to teach you!! "You'll see, we'll be sewing in no time, I'll teach you too!"

Sometimes you wonder if you're being a parent right because she just doesn't get grounded. You speak once, she never does it again. Is she really Ivan's daughter? "Hey!" "Shut up, go back in the hole or I'll use the stick!" "Ouch, stop!"

She turns very aggressive when she fights though, to the point where you're worried about the others when they teach her, because she fights like her life depends on it and she doesn't hold back until she overexerts herself. Turns out your daughter can use some sort of gravitational field and if you don't stop her, she might send one flying or pull them right into her clutches, so be careful.

Overall 100/10 great kid. Ends up designing hundreds of clothes and lives her life peacefully.

Here is all of the Grian incorrect quotes I have so far, some of them are made up while others I switched up a bit. Also I have a headcanon where Grian is kinda of depressed after leaving Evo, I also have a headcanon where Grian and Doc are rivals but still cares about each other (short of, it's like. If one gotten hurt the other would say some rude comments and the other would just go along with it). I also have another headcanon that Grian, Npg, and Robo Grian are all brothers and that even though they fight they do care for one another. Grian is the eldest of the brothers while Robo Grian is the smartest of the three and then there is Npg, the innocent and dumb one but is also the mischievous one besides Grian. Also yes I do ship Npg and Ex (There will be a lot of different ships in here as It turns out I am a mutilshipper).

Disclaimer: These incorrect quotes will have reference to death, depression, cuss words and such. These are surely just for fun! Please don't take this literal, also can someone please give Grian a hug and a break. It looks like he needs one.

---------------------------------------------------

Grian to Npg who currently has tnt: Um, excuse me sir. Where did you get that? *Noticed that Npg has disappeared* Um o-okay, this is fine.

Grian: If you're over 5'10, or 5'10 you are a tree, if you are under 5'10 you are a squirrel. Find your tree, claim it. It's your tree now.

Grian to Mumbo: Listen, I don't know when to shut up but when I do. It's probably because I am thinking about what I am doing with my life.

Grian to Doc: I will kick your ass so hard that you would be yeeted to the Nether.

Grian talking about Doc: Ok, how do you politely tell someone you want to hit them with a brick?

Joe: One wishes to acquaint your facial featured fundamental item used in building walls. Repeatedly.

Grian: That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Iskall: Fuck, Mumbo is going to kill me I fucking lost Grian

Iskall: *Sees Grian with TnT* Grian! Grian! Grian no! *Sees Grian fly towards Doc's base* Grian! Grian! Grian no! Goddamnit, Grian!

Joe: Consuming 85 chocolate bars, 70 cups of coffee, 13 consecutive shots of alcohol, 2 ground cherry bits or 1.59 gallons of water is enough to kill you.

Grian: Oh. Neato.

Grian: Hang on, I gotta do a trip to the grocery store.

Joe: Grian no-

Grian: Time to go to sleep….

Anxiety: Sup bitch

Grian: Wha-

Grian: *Busts through the living room door* I FUCKING GOT DOC!

Impulse: Hey Grian, I have a question.

Grian:

Impulse:

Xisuma: So you're telling me that you went to a factory FULL OF GRIANS…

Iskall: Horrifying, I know

Mumbo: I would've liked a Grian too!

Doc: I would've hated a Grian.

EX: I would like a Grian… just so I could have s-

Iskall: Please don't

Xisuma: *Thinking* Why must I have a brother like this?

Doc: You're younger than me, because I remember dropping you on your head when you were a baby.

Grian: Well, what were you dropped on then, your face?

Doc: *Thinking* Fuck, he knows-

Kidnapper: We have your son.

TFC: Grian?

Kidnapper: Yes

TFC: *Looks behind him to see that most of the hermits are gone and turned back towards the phone* Yeah, good luck with that. *Hangs up*

Kidnapper: That's strange *Turns towards a tied up Grian* Anyways, looks like your little family isn't coming to help yo- *Sees the Hermits already had Grian untied and they all have weapons*

Kidnapper 2: Oh shit

And the sign said she just wants a birthday party and because I'm a grown-ass man… I bought her… *Pearl comes up to Grian who started petting her* and now I'm gonna give her the BEST GOD DAMN BIRTHDAY EVER!

About: Alleilyn Willowwing

Tagged by @curiousartemis for this a few days ago, but getting around to it now lol. So cool to learn some more about Imi!

And now, a good character page for Alleilyn! Adding a Read More cause it’ll probably be lengthy.

Name: Alleilyn Willowwing

Alias: Leilie. It’s a penname she uses when she writes to Ayrenn (who has her own alias). Their letters are mostly personal, but it’s a precaution incase their letters fall into the wrong hands. Ayrenn is a Queen, after all. (Lore wise, I think Bosmeri use a special type of paper called vellum, if they write at all, with a special type of ink. So I might find a work around with magic.)

Gender: Female.

Age: 24.

Species: Bosmer (Wood Elf)

Zodiac: aquarius / aries / cancer / capricorn / gemini / leo / libra / pisces / sagittarius / scorpio / taurus / virgo / unknown

Abilities/ Talents: Alleilyn is skilled in alchemy, restoration, and is well-learned in her knowledge of anatomy. She’s also worked closely with the Vinedusk Rangers, so on top of field medicine, Alleilyn has also been a scout, and can track/ hunt with a bow fairly well. Finally, Alleilyn is also a skilled necromancer, but she isn’t particularly proud of it; as she recovers her memories, she slowly pieces together how and why she has this skill in the first place. (I saw a writing prompt once about how healing and necromancy are similar, and I thought it would add an interesting layer to her character & story.)

~ Personal ~

Alignment: lawful / neutral / chaotic / good / neutral / evil / true

Religion: Alleilyn follows Yfrre. (My knowledge of tes universe religions isn’t that great tbh)

Sins: Envy / Greed / Gluttony / Lust / Pride / Sloth / Wrath

Virtues: Charity / Chasity / Diligence / Humility / Justice / Kindness / Patience

Language(s): The common tongue of Tamriel, and Bosmeri, though I’m not sure if the Bosmer officially have their own language.

Family: Alleilyn was close with her mother and her sister, Nivaia, but she never really knew her father, as he died when she was young. Her mother, since she raised them both on her own, doted on them and saw to their education and skills, so they could be independent. Nivaia (28) joined the Vinedusk Rangers, and helped against the Blacksap rebellion, but she died in the battle of Cormount. (Does backstory count as spoilers when Alleilyn is recovering memories in story?) Although she was never quite the same after Nivaia died, Alleilyn still remained close with her mother until she was sent, unwillingly, to Coldharbour.

Friends: Alleilyn has always preferred a good book to socializing, but she did make lasting friendships when she studied and practiced with the Mages Guild and the rangers. There was never any time, or will, for friendships while she was in Coldharbour; so even after her escape, she initially thinks of Lyris and the Prophet as tentative allies. She doesn’t know what to make of Razum-dar either, but after awhile, he starts to grow on her.

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual / Bi-Pansexual / Homosexual / Demisexual / Asexual / Unsure / Other

Relationship Status: Single / Dating / Married / Widowed / Open relationship / Divorced / Not ready for dating / It’s complicated (with the planemeld and getting her soul back, it’s the last thing on her mind. Of course, life doesn’t always take intentions into account... 😏)

Libido: Sex god / Very High / High / Average / Low / Very low / Non-existent

In unofficial lore, or so I’ve read, Bosmer have the highest sex drive of all the races 😂 so that’ll be fun once I get to Romance (within reason).

~ Physical ~

Build: Twig / Bony / Slender / Average / Athletic / Curvy / Chubby / Obese

Hair: White / Blonde / Brunette / Red / Black / Other - caramel brown/ blonde

Eyes: Brown / Blue-gray / Green / Black / Other

Skin: Pale / Fair / Olive / Light Brown / Brown / Very Brown / Other

Height: 5′2

Weight: 110

Scars: Knife wound above heart, whipping wounds on her back.

Facial Features: She has an almost gaunt, but youthful heart-shaped face with wide eyes, green as the deep woods, sharp eyebrows, an upturned nose, and full lips. Freckles are scattered over her cheeks and nose.

Hair Style: Alleilyn usually wears her hair in a braid or updo when she’s traveling, doing missions on behalf of Ayrenn, or working with patients/ alchemy. When she isn’t busy, or is doing light work, she’ll keep her hair down. If she’s roped into a formal/ political event, Alleilyn will wear a more ornate style, with complex braids or buns.

Tattoo(s): None. She might consider one though, depending on what it is or why she would get it.

~ Choose ~

Dogs or cats? I’m not sure she’d get a house cat, but I can totally see her with a senche cub. Undecided on how she’ll get one though—as a gift from Ayrenn, or maybe she rescues one in the wild.

Birds or nugs? I’ll be honest, I have no idea what nugs are.

Snakes or spiders? She’s not afraid of snakes exactly, but she’s not fond snakes after dealing with the Maomer.

Red or blue?

Yellow or green? (She doesn’t have any particular favorite colors, so I’ll assume these are for aesthetic)

Black or white? 🤷‍♂️

Coffee or tea? I’m not exactly sure how it fits into the Green Pact, if they can, but Alleilyn buys teas from merchants that come from outside Valenwood. She tries not to make it obvious though, when around other Wood Elves.

Ice cream or cake? Alleilyn enjoys her treats when she can.

Fruits or vegetables? She follows the Green Pact pretty strictly, so her diet is mostly meats, nuts and dairy.

Sandwich or soup?

Magic or melee? Alleilyn isn’t much of a fighter, but she will fall back on conjuration magic in desperate situations.

Sword or bow? If she must use a weapon, and not a staff, Alleilyn will use a bow. She hunted frequently with Nivaia and the other rangers, so she has an accurate aim.

Summer or winter? Alleilyn is used to the heat and humidity of Valenwood, even if she doesn’t remember it right away.

Spring or autumn? Alleilyn has learned to be appreciative of life, especially in the jungle, which is rife with it everywhere. Spring is a time of rebirth, but autumn is the time before winter—or hardship—which is equally necessary in life.

The Past or The Future? Ironically enough, despite having little to no memories before the prisons and misery of Coldharbour, Alleilyn feels almost trapped by the past. She doesn’t know how she got there, what she could have possibly done to deserve her fate, and ultimately, who she is. The only tangible memories she has is being tortured, and nightmares of her tormenters.

Well...that got dark. It does get better for her, I promise. Anyway, I’m not exactly sure who to tag for this but I’ll list other writers: @daedriclorde, @parasite-core, @stardust-crow, @maxgraybooks, @pearlll09, and anyone else who’s interested!

#tag game #writeblr #fanfic #oc: alleilyn willowwing #got a new laptop!#it's weird being on desktop rather than mobile #anyway I'm probably going to change my wip name #it is a wip after all #to be honest i've never finished a long term-ish project #there's so much potential in the themes and stuff but im not sure I'm a skilled enough writer to pull it off #But. I'll be a better writer by giving it my best shot #begone imposter syndrome!

Raising Werewolf Cubs Under His Bed

Posted on Archive of Our Own here.

Riddle laughed his high laugh again.

“It was my word against Hagrid’s, Harry. Well, you can imagine how it looked to old Armando Dippet. On the one hand, Tom Riddle, poor but brilliant, parentless but so brave, school prefect, model student… on the other hand, big, blundering Hagrid, in trouble every other week, trying to raise werewolf cubs under his bed, sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest to wrestle trolls… but I admit, even I was surprised how well the plan worked.”

Um… hey. Hey, Tom? Mr. Riddle? Dramatic ass “I am Lord Voldemort” person-sir? Do you mean human children???!!! Hey Joanne, do you mean human children cause werewolf cubs? Werewolf cubs have gotta be human children.

There are four explanations for this line that I can think of. One Doylist (explained out of text), three Watsonian (explained within canon).

The first explanation: JK Rowling did not come up with werewolf lore until after she had written the third book. That explains why she keeps writing about people being afraid of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest even when it wasn’t a full moon and shit like this. She just hadn’t come up with the facts yet.

This explanation, while probably correct, is boring as hell and we will be disregarding it.

Explanation number two barely warrants an entry. Riddle was trying to think of a magical creature and just said werewolves without considering what that would mean. This is somehow more boring than explanation one.

The third explanation is more fun. Wizards are, to put it kindly, mildly, and with some of the love in my heart, dumb as shit.

The Hogwarts education system is shaky at best. Thinking of how little math wizards know makes me want to cry. I would say something like “The class of History of Magic is so poorly taught that I doubt any of the students even know that ___” but like. The class of History of Magic is so poorly taught that I can’t come up with an obvious example of Wizarding history.

Due to the shaky Hogwarts education system, I can partially excuse Ron for being stupid in the area of “what are werewolves” when he talks about werewolves in the Forbidden Forest in book two, as of his two Defence teachers the more competent was Quirinus Quirrell.

(Lockhart’s teachings on lycanthropy involve him curing someone of it by sticking a wand down their throat and saying a spell, which… If it were that easy then Remus Lupin would have had a much better life. If he could fix his furry little problem by eating a wand, the man would have had unicorn hair and cypress soup every night for the rest of his life.)

(That being said, Ron should know more about werewolves. Molly or Arthur should have taught their kids things like that.)

Tom Riddle, in contrast to Ron, went to Hogwarts before the position was cursed. Given that he was the one who cursed it, this makes sense. Riddle had a stable education that, theoretically, involved a competent professor. He should know better.

But also, wizards are dumb as shit.

They seem to have no standardization to their education except for aiming for the OWLs and NEWTs. What educational standards has the Ministry released for teachers to follow? Probably none, that would be too competent. (Ignoring book five, ew.) Just because werewolves were covered in DADA during Harry’s time at Hogwarts doesn’t mean they were in Riddle’s. Maybe they were covered in Care of Magical Creatures, which Riddle would almost certainly not take. Or maybe they weren’t covered at all.

So maybe Tom Riddle hasn’t learned about werewolves in school. He knows about them when he’s older though, so what gives?

Here’s the thing. This Tom Riddle hasn’t had his dark magic field trip yet, the one he goes on after he graduates. What if he doesn’t know about werewolves, but he thinks he kinda gets the gist, and, being Voldemort, assumed he was correct.

Hagrid could have been raising puppies under his bed and Riddle could have been like. “Ah, yes. These are werewolf babies. I am correct on this and will not be corrected by anyone ever because I am the pinnacle of all things knowledge.”

Diary!Tom Riddle is #ForeverSixteen. He is a teenager who insists on being called “Flight of Death” (or, incidentally, Flight from Death, which, yeah). He wears eyeliner, he listens to fascist!MCR, he wants to commit genocide, you know, just regular teenage boy things. Yikes.

(Can you imagine 72-year-old Voldemort having to interact with his 16-year-old self? This insolent boy who doesn’t even know what werewolves are? Harry wouldn’t have had to destroy the Horcrux, Voldemort would do it himself to get the kid to stop talking.

Tom Riddle, age 16: “Lord Voldemort is my past, present, and future.”

Tom Riddle, age 70ish: “You’re about to be past due if you don’t shut up.”)

Anyway, that’s our third explanation. Tom Riddle is dumb as shit. This is backed up by the fact that 1) he is sixteen, 2) wizarding education is a hot garbage fire, 3) grown Voldemort is dumb as shit. He refuses to do research into things he thinks he understands in his seventies, why would he be any smarter at age sixteen?

This explanation is less boring. This is the one that I consider to be the closest to canon one. This makes sense, and it involves making fun of Voldemort’s dramatic bullshit and narcissism, which I approve of.

I like this explanation.

But explanation number three? It doesn’t hold a candle to explanation four.

See, here’s the thing. I believe that Voldemort is dumb as shit and that his education could have been pretty spotty.

But I also think that the boy that has rediscovered Horcruxes by doing too much research would not be completely ignorant of what werewolves are and how they work. They’re considered to be Dark Creatures™ so he would have come across them at some point when learning of the Dark™ Mysterious® Arts©.

So what if.

What if he wasn’t talking out of his ass?

What if Hagrid WAS raising werewolf cubs under his bed? Or, not cubs. Cubs implies non-people.

What if Hagrid was keeping werewolf children under his bed while he was attending Hogwarts?

Picture this: 11-year-old Rubeus Hagrid gets his letter for Hogwarts. He’s overjoyed. His father is a bit surprised that Hagrid, a half-giant, received his letter, but he is also overjoyed.

(The fact that Hagrid got into Hogwarts at all with wizarding prejudices as they are is honestly remarkable. We know that the Wizarding World is awful about treating those who aren’t pure-blooded wizards like people and Hagrid being a half-giant isn’t exactly subtle.)

So Hagrid goes to Hogwarts. He learns. He makes friends. He probably gets in quite a bit of trouble with teachers because he’s never been someone with a ton of common sense or tendency to follow rules. Being in trouble doesn’t bother him too much, he’s young and usually, he doesn’t think about consequences for his actions. Besides, often the reward is worth the risk.

So Hagrid finishes his first year having loved the experience. And he goes home for the summer.

Let’s say that Hagrid and his dad live on the outskirts of a relatively small Muggle town. They’re not quite in the wilderness, but they’re not quite in the town proper either.

A new family, the Canids, has moved next door since Hagrid has gone off to Hogwarts. They have two children roughly Hagrid’s age, a daughter named Freki, age 12, and a son named Geri, age 10. Given Hagrid’s friendly nature and the general boredom that comes with a long summer, the three of them quickly make friends and begin to spend quite a bit of time together.

(Forgive my mixing of Norse and Latin etymology here, I refuse to spend more than three minutes googling names that mean “wolf wolf” or “moon moon” that haven’t already been used in canon.)

Then, one day when they’re hanging out, something weird happens. What exactly it is, I’m not sure. Maybe a branch breaks while they are climbing a tree and no one gets hurt, despite how high up they are. Maybe Hagrid says something unthinkingly cruel on accident, and Geri’s feelings get hurt, and Hagrid’s hair gets turned pink. Maybe Freki finds a magical creature that Muggles aren’t supposed to be able to see. Maybe their father is off fighting in World War II (it is 1941, after all), and there is some unsetting news from the front, and one of the kids causes a sunny day to become a rainstorm.

However it happens, Hagrid figures out that he’s got two underage wizards on his hands. And he knows Freki (age 12) hasn’t received her Hogwarts letter.

Hagrid has never been one to keep his mouth shut. The man at the age of 62 let slip to a group of eleven-year-olds that 1) he had a three-headed dog, 2) the name of the dog was Fluffy, 3) Fluffy was guarding something that was owned or created by Nicholas Flamel, and 4) you can put Fluffy to sleep by playing any kind of music ever. He is not one for subtlety, or for secrets. Honestly, he might have told these kids about magic on accident even if they hadn’t shown signs of being wizards.

So he confronts the kids about the strange things that have been happening. Freki goes dead pale the second he opens his mouth. She begs him not to tell anyone in the village that there is something unnatural about them, Rubeus, please, you don’t know what people will do if they find out.

Hagrid’s confused. If they find out what exactly? Having magic is wonderful, you get to go to school and learn and make friends and discover all sorts of interesting facts and creatures and-

There are two ways this could go.

Either Freki and Geri don’t know about magic and they are delighted to hear about this wonderful place where they could be themselves, and also maybe they could get some help for this weird thing that has been happening to them since they were little kids and there was a wolf attack. Hagrid has to figure out very quickly how to deal with the fact that 1) he has to explain magic to his two friends, 2) his two friends are werewolves, 3) his two friends will not be accepted into wizard society, and 4) he also has to explain that.

Or Geri and Freki already know about magic. They didn’t know that Hagrid knew (they are in a Muggle town, after all), but they knew about magic. Maybe their mom was a witch and dad a Muggle. Maybe the other way around. Maybe both parents are wizards. Maybe they are the descendants of Squibs. Whatever their parental background, they have heard about Hogwarts. And they know the reason that neither of them had gotten Hogwarts letters, know the reason neither of them would ever get Hogwarts letters. And gently, sadly, they explain to Hagrid their situation.

And as Hagrid finds out that they’re werewolves and starts to process what that means for them and their future, Hagrid becomes indignant. And I mean Hermione-founding-misguided-but-well-meaning-organization-SPEW level indignant. I’m talking “thou shalt not insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me” level indignant. Indignant might not be the right word. He gets angry.

Remus Lupin will be the first werewolf to legally receive schooling at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But if Hagrid has something to say about it? Freki and Geri will beat the record illegally by about thirty years.

(This is a man who has been alienated his whole life for his half-giant status. He knows the feeling of being discriminated against for something he can’t change about himself.)

(This is also a man who tried to raise a dragon egg in a wooden cabin. He doesn’t necessarily think things through.)

And so begins Operation Get-My-Friends-A-Wizard-Education.

Phase One: Preliminary Education.

Hagrid spends the rest of the summer teaching these two kids everything that he can remember from his first year of school. He’s got a month. He’s got his books. He’s got enough determination to intimidate God. He’s only got the one wand, but he’ll make do.

And as late August comes? He thinks they’re ready as they’re gonna get.

Phase Two: Smuggling Time.

Now, Hagrid is an oversized lad. And one of the things that comes with being an oversized lad is oversized clothes. And one of the things that comes with oversized clothes is an oversized trunk.

Hagrid also has an undersized father with an oversized heart and an undersized sense of what is a normal and sane thing to do. (The man had sex with a giantess for Pete’s sake!)

With a little convincing, said undersized father could make said oversided trunk be even more oversized on the inside.

Geri and Freki? Welcome to the Hogwarts Express, viewed from the luxury seats of “Inside Hagrid’s Trunk.” No complimentary beverages, I’m afraid, and the view’s not great, but all the oversized clothes end up being quite comfortable cushions.

So Hagrid smuggles two kid werewolves into Hogwarts.

Phase Three: Ah, Shit, Didn’t Think This Through… Er… Live Under My Bed I’ll Bring You Homework

So they live under his bed while he teaches them everything that he is learning in all of his classes, sometimes in the dorm room when no one else is there, sometimes in the Forbidden Forest when they can sneak out, sometimes in empty rooms around the castle. They spend each full moon as deep into the forest as they can go, hoping against hope that they won’t hurt anyone and they will be safe.

(In this universe, the rumors of werewolves in the forest came from somewhere. The stories of glimpses of wolves through the trees during this time were passed down through the generations. “My aunt’s cousin’s friend’s dad saw a werewolf in the forest” may not be the most credible of sources, but in this case, it holds a grain of truth.)

They are careful, and, for a while, they don’t get caught.

How long are they at Hogwarts? I don’t know. A while, certainly. A month? A semester? A full year? Maybe they make it through to when the Chamber of Secrets was opened and everyone became more suspicious and more alert before they were found out.

Once they are caught, the Canid children are promptly sent home. After all, you can’t have monsters in a school like Hogwarts, and what are werewolves if not monsters.

The staff lets Hagrid off with a warning, thinking maybe this was a one-off occurrence of idiocy. But they do view Hagrid with more suspicion after that. After all, he brought monsters into the school. Who’s to say what he’ll let in next?

That being said, Tom Riddle’s probably just dumb as shit.

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎.

hi, friends ! i’m admin fox ( 23. she/they. brt. ) and i’m so excited to get this going ! it’s been a wild journey to make this group happen but everyone seems so nice and all of your muses are so interesting it’s def all worth it ! this is romeo dubois, my himbo baby and all around hot mess. if you’d like to plot with him, please feel free to message me on discord at pedro pascal stan blog#9349 or send me your discord @ and i’ll message you there !

* SEBASTIAN STAN + CIS MALE + HE/HIM —— have you seen ROMEO DUBOIS around? they’re a THIRTY-SIX year old PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER known around town as the LOOSE CANON. not only are they broke af, but they’ve been in town for SIX YEARS. they’re LOYAL + LAID-BACK, as well as CHILDISH + UNHINGED, but what else would you expect from an ARIES? low-hanging grey sweatpants. back muscles. a beer bottled tucked on the back pocket of a pair of jeans.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘.

romeo was born in eldora to two very absent parents; they were one of the few middle class families in town, with his mother always traveling for work and his father at home, drowning himself in alcohol. from an early age, romeo was left to his own devices; he was the one who raised his brother even though he was still just a child himself when cain was born, with no skill or mental capacity to take care of himself let alone an infant.

his parents’ marriage was in shambles; the whole town often spoke about how unfaithful mrs. dubois was, and how her husband only stood by her side because of the money she made. romeo was too young to understand what ‘cheating’ meant when the rumors first started, but he still got into plenty of fights by the time he entered his teens and the infamy of his mother’s choices were echoed throughout high school bleachers

it didn’t take long before people started recognizing romeo as one of the trouble makers in town; his anger against his parents and the horrible situation they forced upon him made its way out of his chest with the blink of an eye, lashing out at everyone and anyone he could. in the height of his teenagehood, romeo knew the name of every single cop in eldora’s precinct. he got into so many fights it was hard to see romeo without a bruise on his face, got drunk and wrecked his car more times than anyone could ever count, and he even spent a few nights in a cell after a particular incident involving the break in of several homes around town. still, people pitied the kid, and many would leave him off the hook no matter what kind of bad trouble he got into.

despite his bad manners and constant anger, romeo excelled in sports. more specifically ice hockey, which he had to take a bus three towns over to be able to practice every week; he loved the freedom of the skates, and he was large and violent enough to be unstoppable in the rink. his prowess caught the eye of many, and by the time romeo was legal to drink he was shoved in an airplane and taken to canada where he could practice and properly excel in his craft.

by the age of twenty-three, romeo was back in the united states playing for the jersey devils, a team he wasn’t too proud of, but it paid the bills and it brought him the notoriety he felt like he truly deserved.

by the age of twenty-seven, romeo dubois was captain of the chicago blackhawks and making more money than he could ever know what to do with it. twenty-seven was also the year he got married to the victoria’s secret angel he’d met just eight months prior; anyone that has ever met romeo will say he peaked in his late 20s, though he would say they were the most miserable years he’s ever had.

it all came crumbling down on his 29th birthday, when romeo was arrested in chicago for a car accident that nearly took the life of a young mother; he had two male escorts and over a pound of cocaine in his car, and even though his lawyers managed to bribe his way into a short six months prison sentence, the media wasn’t so kind. romeo lost his job, lost his reputation and managed to lose every single penny he had once his wife divorced him.

once romeo was out of jail, he had no place to go other than eldora. he’s been back into town for six years, working as a p.e. teacher at the local high school solely because the principal was a family friend that pulled many strings to get him the position. he currently lives in the dingy motel in the outskirts of town, spending most of his time drunk and high--- and for a man who swore he’d never be like his father, romeo’s had never been more wrong.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄.

literal himbo. that’s it, that’s his personality. hot & stupid, absolutely joey tribbiani kinda guy-- you know, if joey was an asshole and not the absolute sweetheart he is.

v selfish, will do whatever it takes to make sure he comes out on top of every situation. still, if he thinks someone is worthy of his loyalty, he’ll stick by them no matter what.

big liar. seriously. has no qualms about making shit up on the spot so that his narrative is the one being told; damn good actor, too.

big hoe ( it runs in the family, the bad tongues would say. ), will sleep with anyone as long as they’re paying attention to him for long enough.

he was in the closet his entire career, and now that he’s been shoved out of it romeo has no intention of going back--- calls himself gay as hell way too much for someone who’s actually bi.

6′3, broad shoulders and still with an athletic build even if he doesn’t play anymore; romeo’s far too shallow to let himself go, even if working out nowadays kills a little bit of his soul every time.

covered in tattoos, with a well trimmed beard and hair styled perfectly so that it looks messy enough; romeo has the ‘i look like i just woke up and yet it took me three hours to get ready’ nonchalant look down to the t.

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.

a party friend --- romeo’s only likable when he’s drunk; thankfully, that seems to be the case most of the time. this person only comes around when they want to get drunk or high, and of course romeo’s always ready to take it up a notch.

a best friend --- they are always on each other’s corner; this is someone that sees romeo for who he really is instead of the bad guy façade he wears, and loves him despite his flaws; maybe they even lived together for a while when romeo first came back into town? could be a childhood friendship or something new.

a protege --- for one reason or another, romeo has deemed this person worthy of caring for and protecting with his life. like a momma bear, except you’re not a bear cub and he certainly doesn’t know how to care for anyone. could be funny if this was clearly someone that doesn’t need protecting.

a one night stand --- like a said, big hoe. maybe romeo and this person that a night together ( or more than one ) and he simply never called back ? probably doesn’t even remember about it, acts as if it never happened; could be fun if they had been friends beforehand.

an ex --- they were pretty serious at one point, maybe even lived together ? and then romeo fucked things up; it was definitely a self-sabotaging thing, where he felt like he was too close to happiness and subconsciously couldn’t allow himself such a thing. maybe he cheated, or maybe he started picking fights for every single small thing, or hell, maybe he even started ghosting them and spending the nights away from home. whatever he needed to do to get them to break up with him.

a hate fuck --- they hate each other, but they can’t keep their clothes on around each other either; every argument ends up in heated sex, and at this point they aren’t sure if they’re fighting because they can’t stand the other, or if they’re doing it because they know where it’ll end.

a fan --- someone that knew him from his time as a hockey player ! romeo def feels very uncomfortable around them, a constant reminder of the good life he’s lost.

friends of all kinds --- romeo’s a social butterfly on his good days, so give him all sorts of friends ! co-workers, old friends, some new. anything !

Tagged by @love-and-cubs-and-white-wolves Thank you sweet, this was fun to do!

1. Why did you choose your url?

I don’t really know where it actually came from, but it’s the same name as I am on pretty much everything. So it’s just easy to use.

2. Any side-blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

I have @yo-necesito-ayuda which is a blog that I used for when I was learning Spanish, I am still trying to learn that language but I found learning through Tumblr wasn’t the best way for me so I found other ways to do it. However, I still have the side-blog because I have no idea how to delete.

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Years! I can’t even remember not having it. I did fully delete it once (by accident, I was trying to change the theme or something) but I immediately remade another with this name.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Not really. I sometimes queue stuff (like a birthday post) but not often.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I started because my favourite band is Asking Alexandria, when I started and had my old blog I had a very tight nit group of friends on here. I was also on Twitter (which I’ve since deleted for good and will never return to that site) where I would talk to people over there as well. But then we all got different interests and when I accidentally deleted my previous and restarted, I kinda had a second to realise maybe they weren’t treating me all that right.

6. Why did you choose your icon & header?

A very talented woman on Instagram called @/merue.art that I commissioned did my profile picture, it’s of me and my turquoise green check conure, Dandelion. I love it so much that it is on everything.

My header is of the WILTY trio, need I say more

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

I have no idea how to find out? But I think it’s my

‘What moves by itself?

Henry, what moves by itself?’

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I have quite a few, I have my Mackologists and a few from The Witcher fandom and still a few from my Asking lot

10. How many followers do you have?

115, tiny number from what I used to have but I’m hardly on here so it’s to be expected. Plus, I don’t really post the ‘popular’ stuff, I have quite a varied blog so I doubt many people would want to follow that because it’s hardly consistent and I don’t follow many people myself.

11. How many people do you follow?

283, for the same reason as above. I’m not on here much and I hardly follow people. I have quite a lot of posts though which I’ve just seen the number of

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

Pretty much all the time

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

Depends on what I’ve got going on in my life, at the moment not a lot due to two massive assignments I have due for my MSc

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

I try to avoid getting into arguments. I’ve had a few on animal blogs before because of how misinformed they are. I study animal management and conservation, so to see false information being spread so quickly and easily does upset me. But I quickly realise the people I’m talking to are too ignorant to want to open up and change their minds so I guess, they think they’ve won when really they’re just too stupid to argue with.

15. How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

I do ignore them. My blog is for me, it’s my happy place and I post things that I love and I try to stay out of all these ‘you need to reblog, if you don’t you’re heartless’ like no, I don’t need to reblog this to show who I am. That’s reflected in myself in everything I do to help and conserve animals. My tumblr presence is where I express my happiness.

That being said, I have learnt and educated myself from a few of these posts. So even if I don’t reblog, I probably am still going off to find some more details and information on that subject.

16. Do you like tag/ask games?

I enjoy them, a lot.

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I reckon quite a few

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I don’t. I love all of them so much and they know that. But most of them know who I do have a crush on (and no guys, I haven’t messaged him yet)

20. Tags?

@comedyfan2013 @flatnumberseventeen @mackologists-r-us @hawt4brits1981

This was so fun!

Updated. 12/2020

Checking things out, recently divorced, rubber bear in Minneapolis area. Dog Dad, corporate educator, musician, chef, well rounded, passionate, creative, ridiculously educated, big time left, bleeding heart liberal, with a hint of sarcasm and cynicism.

I don't have time for religion unless they are paying me to sing. I know who I am, what my faults and my good qualities are.

Stats: 51, 6'1", furry, belly, cropped hair, green eyes, salt and pepper (more salt these days) full beard, size 11.5 boot, 7 1/2 gloves, 7 3/8 hat, 8 cut, 8 gauge septum, right ear. No tats, yet.

I'm here to chat, make friends, keep up with current ones, check things out, maybe have some sex and definitely some bondage fun.

I'm a beefy guy, with a big chest, a tummy, and the heart of a teddy bear.

I don't really do the hook up thing, unless I'm super horny - which doesn't happen that often, but has been happening more since the divorce. I would love to have sex (it's been over a year now), but I tend to take things slowly when it comes to initmacy. Now bondage and rubber play, thats a whole 'nother story...Let's do, and do it NOW!! I love to be tied up and am really good at tying other people up (Eagle Scout and all) and I sleep in rubber several times a week and wear it daily.

I really want to find my elusive "unicorn" someday What does that look like to me?

A furry, responsible, rubber bear or cub who wants to build a future together as my partner, not a dependent. A man who knows who he is and what he wants. A man who understands needs vs wants. Someone with a little drive and ambition. A man who isn't afraid of hard work, fun play, and deep intimacy.

Yeah, that's a unicorn alright, I thought I had found him, nope, not yet. They say that marriage can be a wonderful thing. So can divorce. I will seriously date again, if the right person comes along, not sure if actually marry again though.

Let's talk about sex, about fun, all the things:

Do these words get you going?

Rubber, leather, boots, gloves, uniforms, bondage, GOM, vac rack (yep, I have one), sleep sacks, gimp sacks (have those too), full coverage, layered, masks, edging, venus (I want to try this so badly), sensuality, kissing, control, passion. Recently discovered nip and chastity play, and have been stretching my hole too.

Sexy is a confident man who isn't pushy. Read that again. Who ISN'T pushy.

Now, like they say, if you've read this far - congrats! So, send me a damned message already!!

Love a good beard and fur. Red bearded bears step to the front of the line please.

Turn offs: scat, blood, excessive pain, overly pushy guys, folks who communicate in single words, passive aggressive anything, addicts still using, 420 during/for sex, sugar daddy chasers - you should be able to support yourself and your fetish on your own, sugar daddies - I probably make more than you do, and guys I could snap like a twig (sorry).

Chat me up!

Teen Au prompt! JB are paired up for home ec and must care for a fake child (Jaime 100% posts a pic of them prepairing their unit with the caption "making babies")

I hope you enjoy, Anon! I do love my Teen AUs. Just an FYI, PSHE stands for ‘physical, social, health education’, and it brings back lots of memories of awful sex education videos.

PSHE was the only one of Jaime’s lessons where he was comfortable sitting in the back row. Everything else, he needed to sit up close so he could get a better view of the whiteboard. But not in this class. In PSHE, he could sit in the back on the left-hand side. In the right corner was her. Brienne Tarth. Jaime tried not to stare, but he couldn’t help it. He’d had a crush on her since primary school.

She caught him staring, as she often did, and scowled into her book.

The teacher, Septa Donyse, got the attention of the class. “Today begins our annual project. This year, it’s taking care of a child.” She handed out pamphlets to the student at the end of each row; Jaime passing his across two empty seats towards Brienne. “You’ll each partner with someone to take care of a doll for two whole weeks. Every day, I will require you to update your progress online for feedings, changings, etc. There is an app you can download, and the headmaster has reluctantly allowed you access to your phones for the next two weeks so you can receive alerts.”

Septa Donyse then retrieved a cardboard box from behind her desk, filled with the dolls. “Now, pick your partners.”

A few heads turned to stare at Jaime; two girls already rising in their seats to claim him. But he knew who he wanted. And with Baratheon out sick, Brienne didn’t have her usual partner. He and Tarth were having a baby!

Just as Jaime stood up to join Brienne, Connington raised his hand. “Hey, Septa Donyse, do you think Tarth could be excused?”

Bushy slapped Connington on the back, joining in on the ‘joke’. “Yeah, I mean, Tarth’s never gonna have sex, so it’s not like she needs to learn how to take care of a baby.”

The rest of the class, apart from Jaime, burst into laughter. Connington, enjoying the attention, continued. “Yeah, it’s not really fair to Tarth to make one of us her partner. Getting her hopes up that anyone would want to raise a kid with her is kind of mean.”

“Enough, Mister Connington, enough!”

The class quietened at Septa Donyse’s outburst. Connington dropped to his seat and scowled at being reprimanded; Mister Tarly let them get away with murder in PE. Still, it came too late for Brienne. Her face was ruddy; her knuckles white as she clenched her books. Jaime saw her hand trembling as she raised it.

“Yes, Miss Tarth?”

“Can I go to the loo, please?”

Septa Donyse nodded. “Of course. I’ll allocate a partner for you.”

“Thank you.”

Brienne did her best not to run out of the class. But she was mocked, and jeered, as she made her departure. Jaime didn’t relish a string of detentions for punching Connington in the mouth, but he did kick at the chair he leant back on as Jaime passed to the front. A few of the girls in their class still tried to get his attention, but Jaime ignored them all.

“I’ll partner with Brienne.”

Septa Donyse raised an eyebrow. “I will not tolerate bullying in my classroom, Mister Lannister.”

“Nor do I. Let me have one of the dolls, and we’ll work in the library for the rest of the period.”

She was right to be wary. Jaime didn’t have the best reputation; he was sarcastic and biting at times, but he was never a bully. Still, the Septa agreed to list Jaime and Brienne as partners. He took the doll, who had her mother’s bright blue eyes, and made his way to the girl’s toilets. Brienne had once told his younger brother to never let them see you cry. Everyone knew what she was doing, but at least she didn’t give them the satisfaction of witnessing it.

“Hopefully you’ll grow up brave like your mummy,” Jaime said to the baby doll he carried in his arms. He shouldered open the door. “Tarth?”

A tampon was thrown at his head. “This is the girl’s toilets, Lannister!”

“Not as clean as I’d thought it would be.”

There was toilet paper stuck to the ceiling, the sanitary towel dispenser was broken, and there was graffiti everywhere. A lot of rude words about Brienne the Beauty, and more than a few comments of I bet Lannister has a big cock. Smirking, Jaime crossed to the stall at the far end.

“We’re partners for the project, Brienne.”

“Why?”

“Because I want to be the father of your children.” She scoffed from inside the stall. Jaime wasn’t joking. He’d had many a daydream about them together, married, with unusually tall children. He knocked again. “Listen, Tarth, you’re hardworking. I figured with you as my partner, I’ll get a good mark.”

The stall door opened. Her brow creased, momentarily, as she took in the sight of him cradling their love child. “I will not do all the work.”

“I never said you would. I’m rather attached to little Joanna,” he said, bouncing the toy baby in his arms. Felt nice.

“You’ve named our baby Joanna.”

“After my mother. Joanna Lannister-Tarth. Or Tarth-Lannister. Either way, she’s got your blue eyes and my good looks. We’ll probably have some agent asking her to do baby modelling or something.”

There was a flicker or a smile. “You’re an idiot.”

“Yes, well I’m an idiot you had unprotected sex with, and now we have a child together.”

Brienne’s face flushed at the mention of sex. Jaime just smiled and held their plastic lion cub closer. This project was going to be so much fun.

Why Scar made Kovu his Heir Theory.

(I do not own the Lion King franchise, that belongs to Disney, and this is merely a personal theory, so this is just my own opinion and if you disagree, that is completely fine for we all have the right to believe what we want to believe.)

As the title states, I have always wondered why, in the Lion King, Scar made Kovu made his chosen one, his heir to become king. This post will have things I noticed in the film, things I read from interviews, as well as my own educated guesses. No idea how accurate my theory is, but I still thought it would be fun to share. This will not include Lion Guard because I don’t see that show as Canon and I don’t follow the live-action Lion King logic, so just letting you know.

Observations

In the film, Lion King 2, it is mentioned a few times that Scar wasn’t Kovu’s father, that Scar just took him in.

And it is confirmed that Kovu isn’t even Zira’s son, she adopted him

I can understand why Nuka, Scar’s actual son, wasn’t chosen. Since he, let’s just say, doesn’t exactly give the idea that he could be a good king, or at least the king Scar would want his heir to be.

Vitani had a good chance to be Scar’s heir, she pretty tough and I can imagine her being a good Queen. Though I guess Scar wanted a male heir since it is more traditional for a King to rule Pride Rock than a Queen.

So why would Scar want a cub that is no way related to him to be his heir?

Theory and Supporting Details

My Theory is What if Scar DIDN’T Know? What if Scar didn’t know that Kovu wasn’t actually his son?

Because I don’t imagine him being an attentive or loving mate to Zira, I imagine that as long Zira did what he wanted, such as being a loyal and devoted queen and giving him cubs, he wouldn’t spend more time with her than he felt was necessary.

The way he was as king supports this opinion to me. He was a terrible and lazy king. He allowed the Pride Lands to become a wasteland and was willing to let the hyenas and lionesses starve because he didn’t want to take responsibility and be a real leader. As long as they obeyed him, did what he wanted them to do without question, and he got to do whatever he wanted, he didn’t care about anything else.

In a deleted scene, Scar even stated that he doesn’t care if he had the lionesses’ respect, he only wanted their obedience.

So I really imagine the hyenas being the same way. As long as the lionesses fed them and did what they wanted, and as long as the hyenas got to do whatever they wanted without consequence, they probably wouldn’t really care what the Lionesses did and wouldn’t focus on them unless it impacted the hyenas or Scar in some way.

So I imagine that it wouldn’t be hard for Zira to be able to do a bit of sneaking around herself, since she’s proven to be as manipulative and cunning as Scar. And I bet that as Queen, she could get away with more things since Scar and the hyenas wouldn’t see her as a threat due to how obsessively devoted she is to Scar.

But I imagine that Scar was getting angry and frustrated with her for not giving him the ‘perfect’ heir. Nuka would be a definite disappointed for Scar and Scar would be disappointed that Vitani was a girl.

Scar’s anger at Zira would probably make Zira more desperate to give Scar a perfect heir, especially if she knew that Nala was Scar’s first choice to be his queen.

So I bet in desperation, she would find a cub, who would be Kovu, and claim it to be her and Scar’s son in an attempt to please him.

I admit, I’m not entirely sure where she would find an orphaned cub, but the Pride Lands were dying at this time, so I imagine that she found a dying rogue lioness who died of starvation or some other disaster and her infant cub.

I think the lionesses of Pride Rock would know, or at least have suspicions about the cub true origin, but probably wouldn’t say anything since they would believe that if it meant this cub would be able to survive in the dying Pride Lands if Scar thought it was his son, than they would allow it, probably wouldn’t like it, but wouldn’t say anything to jeopardize the cub’s life. They wouldn’t really care for Zira, keeping it a secret would be for the cub’s sake rather than hers.

I’m sure Scar would be suspicious at first, but I think after seeing how strong the cub looked, he would accept the cub since it would mean that he would finally have a worthy heir.

I think it was only after Scar’s death and Simba reclaiming the throne would Kovu’s true heritage be revealed. Perhaps Zira tried to claim that Kovu was supposed to be the next king instead of Simba since Scar was dead and Kovu was Scar’s chosen one.

I think one of the lionesses who were against Scar and knew the truth would reveal the secret, believing that since Scar was gone and the Pride Lands were becoming healthy and lively again, it wouldn’t matter anymore since that cub wouldn’t be King, Simba would be and wouldn’t exile an innocent cub.

Zira would probably say something like it doesn’t matter, Scar chose Kovu and Kovu was the rightful heir, not Simba.

After fighting for so long, Simba would eventually have no choice but to exile her, her family, and lionesses that agreed with her that Kovu should be King.

This is just my own personal theory, so this isn’t 100% accurate. If you have other ideas, please feel free to share, I love to hear other theories or what the crew who worked on the Lion King films say about Kovu being Scar’s heir.

5 Things to Consider When Training a Puppy

Most new dog owners will no doubt fall in love with their adorable new pet. We all know that cute puppies, Oul ni, are full of vitality and love, and no matter how heavy you are, it is very difficult to watch puppies play and choose your new pet. However, training should be done if your puppy is still a child. If you want to grow your puppy as a healthy and social dog, then you need to learn and understand puppy training tips that follow. https://medium.com/@dognamess/dog-names-find-the-perfect-name-for-your-dog-c0b864eebebe

What to understand when training your puppy.

1. You need to establish yourself as an alpha dog.

Dogs are pack animals and as usual there is a pack leader who sees other dogs as leaders. It is important that you fulfill this role.

Certainly, puppies need to understand from an early age that they will always try to learn what is right and wrong from you. It is very difficult to persevere with your puppy, but the dog was teaching good manners, he would not behave as he grew up, he would probably live longer.

Therefore it is important that your puppy receives obedience training.

2. A puppy is born with knowledge of English.

Any dog, regardless of their age, understands all English words, so it is up to you to teach your dog. Unfortunately, puppies do not have time to understand what your voice or tone of actions are. In this case, don't get angry with them if they don't react the way you want them to. Unfortunately, you will find that puppies do not have enough time to respond to cues given by your voice or tone of actions. So be patient if even a small bundle of your fur will not react the way you want.

3. Start exercising immediately.

From the day you have your people, you need to train them. When training your puppy, make sure that you are aware of the importance of effective obedience training as you will see that a dog that behaves well will reward your training efforts and enjoy being with you. As I said, you need to teach etiquette when bringing your puppy home. Start with what you accept.

Unfortunately, all dogs have very few memories, regardless of age; For example, when you are training and when you are distracted, your puppy has an accident. If you catch him and then turn his nose to pop, you didn't teach him that popping inside is unacceptable. More likely, your puppy may not remember what he has done to you and what you do scares him. If you flatten your puppy improperly, it is likely that it will mature into a poorly trained and deranged dog, which in the case of a prey example either hides it or picks up evidence so that you do not punish it. Can. So make sure to control your emotions while exercising.

you. The more you train your cub the better.

Studies of dog behavior have shown that trained dogs develop into smart dogs at an early age. So the truth is that at a young age a well-trained puppy is more likely to be a properly trained adult dog. So he has to train when your father is young.

5. The social part is an important part of your puppy training.

Immediately when your dog is small, you need to get your pet to make a habit of meeting others, even if it is another dog, a member of your family and a complete stranger. Proper socialization of your dog can prevent many behavioral problems. Therefore, it is very important that this aspect of training be started as soon as possible.

Lifting your pups is an ongoing activity that can be fun but you need to be a little patient. Nevertheless, those efforts are worthwhile because you bond with your dog and build a well-socialized and educated dog that you would love to associate with.

The Most Hideous Creatures Known to Man, part 1 (A three-hour tour)

Stan continues to find his calling. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with his methods...

Part 5 of the Flipside AU.

It was only a matter of time before Stan’s clientele in the forest (he’d set up in a glen near C-beth’s place as his unofficial barber shop) began expressing curiosity about the human world.

For all the myths and legends about the amount of time they were supposed to spend kidnapping children, seducing adults, casting spells on farmers’ crops and so on, the creatures in Gravity Falls had surprisingly little direct interaction with humans. Even the gnomes were mostly limited to stealing food from their cupboards or window sills while they were sleeping, except when they were trying to find an offering for their queen (both of the Pineses had made it adequately clear to the little group they found sneaking into their Ford’s house one night that they were not available, thank you anyway).

Stan wasn’t sure if this ignorance was the case for anomalies all over the world or just the ones in this tiny part of it. But as he cut their hair, cleaned and polished their scales and massaged their shoulders, they began peppering him with questions about what it was like for human people.

“How do you get anywhere without wings?”

“What’s it like not having gills?”

“Where do the magic lights in your houses come from? Do you have a wizard who controls all of them? You have a lot of them, so he must be ever so powerful.”

“What is the significance of those strange boxes humans hold up to their ears sometimes? They can stand and talk to them for hours-are they some kind of listening insects, since they have those long antennae attaching them to the bigger boxes?”

He answered their questions as best he could, making educated guesses (or maybe kind-of-sort-of flat-out lying) if he didn’t know the answers...but after a while he realized that it didn’t seem to matter what he told them, as long as he made it sound exciting. The creatures ate it all up in delight, amazed at the way humans seemed to use this strange kind of magic called SCIENCE to make things happen.

And just like with the idea for how to get unicorn hair for his brother, an idea began to spark in Stan’s brain.

“So, let me get this straight,” Stan said one afternoon as he finished putting curlers in a beard cub’s fur, “None of you have actually seen a human up close besides me?”

“And that brother of yours,” C-beth whinnied, looking up from her copy of Whinny, Pray, Trot. “And the occasional visitor to my glen, or hikers, or-”

“No no no, I mean, you’ve never seen humans in their natural habitat.”

The little group-unicorns, fairies, beard cubs, even a mermaid sitting in the nearby pool-all looked at him in sudden interest.

Stan grinned. “What would you say if I offered to give you guys a guided tour?”

Of course, not all the creatures could afford to pay in gold and jewels, like the unicorns. Those who couldn’t had to pay in other things, like samples: skin samples, hair samples, feather samples, tooth samples, any kind of samples they could spare. Stan would bring them home for Ford to study, and he’d get dizzy with excitement over how he’d “been wanting to study this thing for ages, thank you Stanley!” and immediately run off to his lab to put it under a microscope or whatever. It gave Stan a warm feeling in his gut, knowing that he’d given a valuable contribution to his brother’s research, and in the meantime he could use the treasure the unicorns gave him to handle other expenses, like the mortgage and groceries and stuff.

If it wasn’t samples, it was things like mushrooms, which he could then give to the gnomes in exchange for favors, or enchanted items, or whatever else could be used to set up an elaborate and profitable barter system.

It was like nothing Stan had ever imagined for himself, but somehow it all worked like a charm. And now here was a perfect chance to make an addition to it.

If I tell Ford about this, he’s either gonna love it or hate it.

****

For the moment, Stan decided to keep it a secret from his brother. At least until he got all the details worked out and stuff.

This required him first finding a map of Gravity Falls, and marking out places that seemed like the best “attractions.” Then he had to think about how he was actually going to conduct these tours a) without any humans noticing, and b) without letting the group of nosy anomalies wander off and get into trouble, or (in some cases) cause trouble.

It took him the better part of a day to come up with a plan, which turned out to partially involve the, ahem, liberation of a very large golf cart from a nearby Santa’s Village, and a pound of jerky for the manotaurs in exchange for them tracking down the invisible wizard and bringing him to Stan so he could strike a deal with him. To his major disappointment the wizard refused to give up the potion that turned him invisible, but he did lend Stan something that was in some ways even better: a few bottles of what he called “un-notice powder.” I hope I don’t need to explain its purpose.

Once he had these and a few other things thrown together, he was ready to take the first group on a wild tour of...the Human World!

“And on your left, you’ll see ‘Greasy’s Diner,’ home of the perpetually broken spinning pie trolley!”

“Oooohhhh!” The various anomalies leaned so far to the side of the cart that Stan was worried they were going to tip them all over, staring goggle-eyed at the restaurant. To prevent this, Stan hurriedly put the cart in park, and then, remembering what the gnomes were like, he slipped the keys into his jeans pocket.

“Twenty-I mean, two hundred gold pieces or the equivalent in samples to come in and get your picture taken with it!” he proclaimed, rushing over to the door and pushing it open. He promptly had to jump out of the way to avoid being stampeded by the eager crowd.

Inside the diner, the guests looked up in bewilderment at the door, which appeared to have been pushed open by a sudden freak wind. Susan Wentworth, the head waitress who worked there (and who was kinda cute, Stan had to admit), rushed over to close it, and Stan barely moved out of her way in time.

The tour group (ten gnomes, thirteen fairies of various sizes and colors, a Moth Man, the invisible wizard-who’d insisted on coming at a reduced price as recompense for his being manhandled and bullied so rudely, and Stan had decided not to argue with a man who could turn him into a frog if he got mad enough-a manotaur, and the mermaid, who the manotaur was carrying in a portable cooler filled with water) stared agape at the inside of the room, before hurrying over and taking turns being photographed in front of the pie trolley. They also had fun prodding at the humans, swiping bites of food from their plates, and taking pictures of them pretending to squeeze their heads or whatever.

Stan watched the chaos with a smile, and took the opportunity to eat some blueberries off the top of a plate of pancakes belonging to that dumb Gleeful kid.

****

Their next stops were the town hall, the cemetery (where a few Category 2 ghosts tried to sneak on without paying, but were scared off by the silver mirrors Stan had strategically placed on the cart), the library, and the high school, before finally they stopped in front of an electronics store.

“Behold!” Stan leaped out onto the sidewalk, arms spread wide. The dramatic gesture was nearly ruined by a few teenagers who nearly walked right into him (because of course, they didn’t notice him), but he managed to dodge out of their path just in time. “Ladies and gentlemen-I guess that includes most of you-”

The tour group laughed.

“-For today’s final attraction, I give you the most horrifying, dangerous, yet incredibly enticing invention of mankind yet: the Idiot Box!” He gestured at the display of televisions in the front window, which were plugged in to different channels about news, sports, movies, and so on.

The anomalies gasped, staring at the images darting across the screens in transfixed amazement. He could practically see their eyes turning into hypnotized spirals like in the movies.

“These fiendish devices control the minds of millions every day, encouraging them to buy things they don’t need, eat foods that aren’t good for them, and become emotionally invested in the lives of fictional characters who they are never gonna meet in real life!” Stan had no idea where most of his words were coming from, but he was on a roll now, and there was no stopping him. “And all it takes is a little bit of electricity and a good channel-”

“I WANT ONE!”

Stan blinked, startled out of his spiel by the manotaur’s roar.

The beast abruptly hurled himself out of the cart and charged-right. Through. The window. He smashed several of the televisions in his excitement, but he managed to snatch one up intact, ripping the plug out of the socket and hoisting it over his head triumphantly.

Not even un-notice powder was enough to prevent the people inside the store from noticing the wanton destruction.

Time to go.

****

Fortunately, Stan managed to herd everyone (several of the other creatures had rushed into the store to snatch devices for themselves in all the excitement) back into the cart and take off before the cops showed up. Even better, the un-notice powder didn’t completely wear off until they were back in the forest, so even if the townsfolk noticed them fleeing the scene, it wouldn’t have been anything too distinct. Probably.

Stan gladly accepted a few extra tips from the happy group as they left the carts, hurrying off into the forest and chattering excitedly to each other about all the things they’d seen.

“See ya later, everyone! Tell your friends! And remember, we put the ‘fun’ in ‘no refunds!’”

Huh; I like the sound of that. Gonna haveta remember it for next time.

Grinning to himself, Stan finished putting everything in the large treasure chest he’d brought to collect everyone’s payments, locked it, and then drove back towards home, feeling that on the whole this had been a pretty good day.

It was just his luck, however, that Ford would be standing in the driveway as he came up, hands on his hips and wearing his “there had better be an amazing explanation for this” expression.

The cart came to a slow stop, and Stan gave his brother a weak smile.

“...Hey, Sixer. I got you more samples.”

teacher!day6

Characters: Day6

Genre: slice of life

Words: 2.5k

Description: how Day6 would be like as teachers!

For context; Kindergarten: Ages 3 to 6 Primary school: Ages 7 to 12 Secondary school: Ages 13 to 17 Tertiary education: Ages 17 to 19 University: 19 onwards ---

SUNGJIN

Honestly...seeing leader as a teacher for a particular age group is hard

Because I feel like he'll be good with all ages

I can see him being the father-like teacher that admonishes the young ones cutely

But at the same time I can also see him being stern with the older ones

So..............................................

Just for leader............................

I'm not going to specify which age group he's teaching HAHA

Sungjin as a teacher would just generally be the "father" teacher

He’ll scold the kids when he has to

Even though he really does not like doing so

Might accidentally make the young ones cry with his stern lo

But when that happens he immediately softens and pats their hair / offers them a warm hug to soothe them

The little ones will always rummage around his bag for snacks just because his bag is practically BURSTING with them

But removes them from his bag fairly quickly – Sungjin as a teacher is still fiercely protective of his food HAHA (imagine a mother bear picking up her cub by it’s nape – that’s what it looks like when Sungjin removes the kids from his bag)

But ok jokes aside

Sungjin as a teacher is really caring

He might express his emotions very well

But he does care very deeply for his kids

Sends them away on their last day of kindergarten with a smile on his face

But sobs buckets later at home when he reads the cards they give him with their cute handwriting and drawings

Sobs more when he sees them draw him as a bear

Because he cannot decide if it’s cute or tragic that they see him as a bear after all the years of teaching them

Sungjin with the older ones which generally be more stern

Less smiles

Because he’s got an image to keep

The most the kids will see from him is his odd facial expressions when his slides / mic messes up when he lectures

Most are too intimidated to approach him

But for the brave few that do

They are pleasantly surprised

Because it turns out

That prof Sungjin is actually a pretty approachable guy with a wealth of knowledge to share with his students

And eventually this evolves into that sort of relationship where the kids begin to see him as a friend outside of lessons

Which leads to the most ridiculous encounters EVER

For example

‘hey prof’

‘I can’t believe you called me to fix your heater’

‘it’s winter! And the student services centre wasn’t responding’

‘the things I do for you guys’

‘thanks prof!’

Grumbles about coming out on a winter day during term break

But still fixes the heating for his kids nonetheless

But don’t worry

They repay his efforts by treating him to food when school starts again ;)

Overall

Sungjin as a teacher is generally one that does not show affection openly for his kids much

But deep down

They all know that he truly cares for them

Both academically and non-academically

JAE

Tertiary educator

Jae would be that really chill prof that the kids love alot

He’s not going to bother them too much even if they enter lectures a little late – he understands the tertiary education is tough and well, waking up late once in a while is not a sin

Probably not the type to bother them too much even if they doze off in his lectures – as long as they catch up on their own

He accepts it if they have a tardy appearance or are disorganised – he was like that as a student as well

But he will not accept tardiness in the work

Will get an earful from him if they slack off / hand in work late without a valid reason

If a student is constantly missing school

He’s going to check up on them constantly

And follow up with them regularly to make sure they get the help they need and are coping well from there on

Even though he’s a strict teacher

He always reminds his students that their mental health is more important than their studies

Which is why his students feel comfortable going to him for advice when they’re troubled with anything

And when I say anything

I really mean anything

From anxieties about their studies

To relationship problems

Jae listens to them all

And adjusts his response accordingly

If he has to be firm to snap his students out of their own self-deprecating mindset

He will

But for those that can’t handle his toughness

He will opt for being gentler with them

But no matter what

He will stick with his kids till the end and see them become a better version of themselves

Jae takes mental health very very very seriously

And his students appreciate him very much for that

Because he feels like one of the very few teachers that care about them

For who they are

Beyond their grades

But serious stuff aside

Jae is a fun teacher

Always bringing props to class to demonstrate a concept

Working in videos into his lectures to make sure the lecture is less boring

Probably the type of prof to bring in a soft toy and tosses the soft toy to a student when he wants them to answer a question

Tries to work in field trips when he can

But he’s not just all fun and games

He’s definitely very willing to stay back after lessons to help students work out the knots in their head

The only time students get scared of Jae:

When he debates too fiercely with them on model UN

Sorry

It’s in his blood

He loves arguing for a living

He will argue at every chance he gets

Even against his students

But other than that

He’s a very chill teacher

To sum it up

Teacher Jae is very much like Teacher Sungjin

Not much emotions in class

But outside of class

He will do anything for his students

He will stick by them

Until they become better and believe in themselves

YOUNG K

Secondary school teacher

Honestly Brian as a teacher is the easiest to write for so here goes!

Young K as a teacher would be so well-loved by everyone

but not because he's overly lenient / overly nice to them

He's well-loved for the right reasons

As a teacher he's the right mix of tough and soft

At this awkward of age learning to be a teenager, most kids will have a hard time adjusting to new bodily and emotional changes and I feel like Brian as a teacher would be really helpful with easing students into being an teenager

For this bunch of awkward teenagers still trying to find their identity, his honest advice would be really helpful in getting them to understand themselves and the world that they're still trying to figure.

He'll also be really attentive to those that get left out, always remembering to include them in class discussions by for example, calling them to answer questions. Similar to how he'll always laugh at Wonpil's jokes even when others are not paying attention.

He'll also be really good for this age group because he's very aware of the feelings of his students, which helps at this stage when some of them might still be sensitive.

When a student makes a joke that might potentially hurt another, he knows how to rein in the former without hurting them as well, thus saving both groups of students from potentially being hurt emotionally.

he also has enough child-like wonder in him to keep up with the enthusiasm of some boisterous students

As teenagers, they'll still get easily excited about things and Brian would help to fuel that excitement / passion by participating in their activities.

For example, if they ask him to act silly with them for class performances, Brian would surely join in and be willing to be as silly as he can possibly be with them. (Cue Old K outfit from Youth Encore concert)

Overall, Brian's personality is so versatile which is perfectly suited for the wide range of personalities he'll meet in teenagers

It really helps him connect with all of them

And this emotional connection in their formative years will make him a very memorable and well-loved teacher for years to come

WONPIL

Definitely a kindergarten teacher

There is no doubt on this

Nope

No one can change my mind on this

Not one bit

Wonpil just has so much child-like energy in him he is the PERFECT fit for being a kindergarten teacher

When the kids show him something they made / drew, he'll have the ability to match their level of excitement and make the children feel so loved and validated for their efforts

Which i feel is extremely important since kids began forming impressions at this stage and Being ignored might lead them to gradually close off / lose their passion for their interests

Wonpil will be that beacon that keeps the flame of passion burning bright in their little bodies

Always asking them what each item they drew is

Why they chose to write this poem on this particular subject

But this also means he’s prone to burn out at the end of the day because he does his best to give his utmost attention to each child

But no worries

Come a new day

When they greet him with a enthusiastic greeting early in the morning after their parents drop them off

Gone is his fatigue and all that’s left is a warm fuzzy feeling in him and a wide smile on his face

Might occasionally lose a kid when out on field trips because there’s just so many of them and only one him

But no worries

Turns out the kids are just playing hide and seek with him and they eventually come out of hiding

Finally feels like he can breathe again when he sees them

Carries the little rascal in his arms for the rest of the field trip

Until everyone else clamours to be carried by Teacher Wonpil

That’s when all hell breaks loose

But thankfully

He’s got a good team of teachers to help him rein in the little ones

Also the type to stay back in the centre till late at night until the parent of the last child comes by to pick their child after working overtime

Never complains though

Just sends a smile their way and reminds them to rest early before cleaning and locking up

Also the type to look out for any kids that might have trouble interacting with the rest of them

Coaxes them out from their corner using every method possible

Magic, acting silly – you name it, he’s done it

Really gives his whole soul and body into making sure every kid under him feels loved and included

When they cry

He holds them close and pats their back until they’ve stopped crying / they’ve fallen asleep

During naptime

Tucks each child in so carefully that other teachers try so hard not to shed a tear watching how much care and love he gives each kid

Cries every Teacher’s Day when his kids shower him with so much love and presents

By the end of the day

His eyes are puffy and red from all the crying done

Meanwhile his hands are full with all the presents he’s gotten over the course of the day he struggles to even wave to say goodbye to his kids

All in all

Kids love him

Parents adore him to bits

The other teachers consider him the real gem on the team

Wins ‘Best Teacher’ award every year

But the other teachers aren’t even jealous

Because they all know he truly deserves it

DOWOON

Drum teacher

Sorry but I can’t see this cute fluffball as an educator in a formal setting

As a drum teacher

Dowoon is chill

Like super chill

Has a lesson plan

But does not follow it strictly

He teaches his kids the basics

But lets them free later

They can play whatever song they want

But the moment they start singing along and lyrics contain profanities

His eyes get wide

His ears get all red

And he immediately turns down the music before telling them that they can’t sing that song

Sweats bullets for the rest of the lesson

With the young ones

He’s very patient

Teaches them step by step until they get it right

If they need more help

He’s willing to give them extra lessons

At no extra charge

As long as the student truly wants to learn

He will put in the same effort to help them excel

For those that are slightly better

He challenges them with tougher pieces

The tempo is faster

There is more variation in the beats

By the end

This kid is probably sweating buckets and completely tired

But when Dowoon extends the bottle of water to them before shooting them a thumbs up

They are ready for round 2

Very accepting of students of all abilities

He makes it a point to include every single student at the annual drum concert

And when I say every single one

I really mean every single one

No one gets left behind under Teacher Dowoon

He might seem forgetful

But Teacher Dowoon actually has a great memory

He prepares small gifts and cards for each student during their birthday

Often times it is an encouraging message appreciating the student for their efforts

Which motivates his kids to continue to work harder

Even years after they’ve graduated from his drum academy

They still thank him in their award winning speeches

And sends their kids to be taught by him

Just like how Dowoon is loved by the entire universe

His students love Teacher Dowoon in the same way

And he truly asks for nothing more

Then for his students to be happy doing what they love and to grow up being a good person
