#i just know he likes teaching kids stuff

[abbeyofcyn]

Do you have any fun headcanons about the Rise turtles?

Mmmmmm do I have anything that's not already adopted by the fandom as fact (e.g. Leo having trouble sleeping/insomnia)

Donnie likes shell scratches (just not by Shredder and the like)

That's it

#ask abbey #behold my infinite creativity #i can't even decide if Leo would prefer to be a dad or uncle #i just know he likes teaching kids stuff #like skateboard tricks and fighting #and how to piss off Donnie without getting into trouble

emo Nico x scene Will Solace...

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #will solace #solangelo #i need them to be cringe (affectionate) teenagers okay #give me Will with a hardcore homestuck phase and streaks in his hair dyed with kool-aid and striped armsocks #date night is Will teaching Nico how to make kandi bracelets #if youve been here awhile you may know i am a scene Jason believer and the same concepts apply here #listen i just think. emphasizing Nico being emo and giving him a scene boyfriend #its very important though that only certain riordanverse chars fit the vibe to be scene kids #like i dont think Percy would be as much as i want him to be #its antithetical to his character (internalized ableism/bad self-loathing/keeps his head down) #Will and Jason on the other hand would use XD unironically and have a total ball making sparkledog fursonas #Alex Fierro. DEFINITE scene kid. Magnus is already just kind of a little emo. Sadie is a definite yes. Carter. maybe. #i think he'd be adverse at first but kinda get into it casually yknow. he'd dig kandi bracelets at least. #probably get really into linguistic breakdown of xD rAnDoM speech just for fun #Walt no but he could. like. i think he'd be open to trying it. but its not his default state. #Zia. doesnt have the energy but i kinda wanna see it regardless. i think itd be fun for her but on her own she'd lean more goth #Leo? maybe. depends. he's more into doing stuff ironically. Piper. yes. but specifically as an f-you to conventional fashion #Reyna no. Frank maybe. Hazel yes. Thalia maybe. Annabeth hmm. maybe #i think thats all the main casts. Alabaster? YES and i wanna see it. #anyways thank you for coming to my emo x scene ted talk and character evaluations in the tags

scribbly first date type affair (continuation of my modern au stuff)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #idk when the next modern au thing will be so i'll just post this by itself. hehe #that art was one of qifrey's first drawings. it was of a creepy eye. (it was around the time he got glasses as a kid) #(and was told that he might lose his sight completely one day so he became an emo because he already wanted to be an artist #like beldaruit who ran his foster home where he encouraged kids to draw art to express their feelings.) #and an insidious deviantart group called The Brimhats idk stole it & reposted it. he never got to the bottom of who exactly did it. #but one day. they will fucking suffer. #(he believes their goal was to develop AI art as they said stuff like 'all art should belong to everyone anyway' & 'there shouldnt be rules' #but actually they were probably just regular mean ppl who have moved on to new things in life than stealing kids' art on deviantart. #who knows though.) i want people to retain their disabilities or general tragedies like beldaruit would be in a wheelchair #and coco's mum is in a coma. but its just so funny if qifrey just has regular bad eyesight #and it's so cute that he would say he doesnt think of beldaruit as a dad & is distant with him but now basically runs a foster home too #where he doesnt just encourage like he was encouraged but actively teaches kids from sad backgrounds to become wonderful artists one day #anyway i am so fucking hungry now goodbye #P.S. BELDARUIT IS NOT OLD !!!!!!! i mean if qifrey is late 20s or older in canon like i want... i guess he..but.... NO !!!!!! 😭 #*edits in some follow-up drawings* #oru: i couldn't c-c-confess my feelings bc it always seems like he's worried about something..i shouldnt bother him.. #qif: *always worried about how to confess his feelings* #ive decided meeting at 7 on da is kind of ridiculous actually. i think they probably meet at like age 10 in canon..not immediately =_= #since beru-sama is like 'he finally found a friend'. whatever... this'll be my last art post for a while probably so see ya <3

sometimes ill be doing some normal everyday task and ill stop and realizing that im doing it pissed as hell cause i started thinking about yolanda saldivar

#brushing my teeth like 😡😡😡😡 #selena quintanilla queen of tejano and queen of little mexican american girls that cant speak spanish (me) #when i was like 7 years old i was having a TOUUGHH time at school #cause kids were saying like oh your mom looks weird she doesnt look like our moms! #and my dads white and im very white like visually #so i was getting a lot of people asking like What Are You are you adopted etc etc #and then on the flipside all of my cousins speak spanish but i dont #cause im the youngest and by the time i was born all the spanish speakers in my fam had learned english #so it was very like whatever way i turned i wasnt fitting in #so my mom sat me down and made me watch selena and i criiies and cried #like no i dont look like her but we’re both 3rd gen girls who were a little lost with their cultures and stuff #also dont tell my mom any of this she says im white passing to white ppl but mexicans always Know #which is true ive had mexican people ask if im mixed or wtf is up #its gotta be my nose like 100000% #i think my nose and body type and hair are the noticeable features #i was also raised super culturally by my moms side of the family #also i think its funny that spanish speaking people dont assume i speak it so theyll be talkin shit or something and ill know #i understand it but i dont speak it #but im getting better!! i think i probably can speak it im just not at all confident #i had to drop highschool spanish cause my teacher thought i was cheating #and she did not care when i was like girl i promise i only know this cause of my abuela pls believe me #sorry im rambling i have no clue where this is coming from #but when my grandparents moved here it was like #like 50s racism running rampant #so my grandpa tried to ditch EVERYTHING and like oretend he was italian cause that was more acceptable and all that #so he got rid of every tradition and tried to smash it down as much as he could #so of course that rubbed off on my mom #but my grandpas sisters never tried to hide it #so me and my mom have really bonded over like relearning our culture and i get to go to his sisters to teach me and its just really nice #yeah ok bye

I'm definitely not the only queer person who's kinda wary of Christian ppl they encounter online right?

Like I see a profile that clearly states they're Christian and they post like Bible verses and shit and I'm just. Hoping they're not queerphobic. Or saying some dumbass shit like "hate the sin love the sinner" or whatever while pretending that's not queerphobic

If they're interacting with me first it's pretty safe to assume they're not gonna be like that bc I'm very obviously queer (🏳️‍🌈 + pronouns in bio) but if it's someone who hasn't interacted with me at all I kind of instinctively avoid interacting with them out of fear of them being that way. Y'know

#ramblings #i think it's bc even tho i've never been religious and my family isn't like a super uptight christian family #i have encountered a preacher who was homophobic and transphobic before #he's puerto rican too which just makes me disappointed in my people tbh #i grew up surrounded by a lot of accepting ppl both within and outside of the family #as well as a couple gay/trans ppl #i was always taught that that's just the way some ppl are and that we should respect that #even if we didn't fully understand everything and weren't up to date with the latest most accepted terminology and stuff #ppl were just respectful and let others be themselves #so it's extremely hard for me to understand why other ppl would be queerphobic #i mean. i kinda get it. it what they were taught growing up. just how i was taught to be accepting and respectful #but why ppl would continue to teach that to their kids and perpetuate queerphobia is really what i don't get #like. accepting that ppl different from you exist and that's ok isn't going to kill you #maybe learn abt the world from other sources besides the bible and try to see different perspectives #instead of shutting yourself off to just one way of thinking and hurting ppl in the process #anyways. i think it's also bc i've seen too many really religious ppl on the internet who are also queerphobic #and they have these big platforms of ppl who support them and share their views #and like. i shouldn't generalize. but they paint an ugly image of christians in general #also like. christians throughout history don't have the cleanest track record #but i know a lot of christians nowadays aren't like that. in fact i'm willing to say most aren't #but still it's like. better be safe than sorry y'know #idk man

i teach this kid usually twice a week and he's a bit of an asshole sometimes, but we're slowly building up a relationship and his writing is really improving and it's genuinely such a joy to see. i told him yesterday that i was really enjoying reading his writing as it became more detailed and he asked if that was a good or a bad thing so i told him that it was a really good thing, i liked what he was writing and that he was becoming much more clear in it and it was cool to be able to see his writing form. and this kid, this fucking kid trying not to look pleased because that's uncool i guess, but the excitement and pride and happiness that crept into his voice after that, it's one of the most beautiful things about teaching

#and he IS improving so much i am really really looking forward to seeing where we can take his writing as he goes on #i think he could write some really interesting stuff and i think it's something he would enjoy so much when he gets a bit more confident an #comfortable with it . he's definitely got ideas whether or not he can articulate them and i would really love to read them #it is part of the reason that i want to get back into ME writing more proper fiction writing because i do a lot of it with kids #and i just want to refamiliarise myself with the process of it through doing it as well as teaching so i can help them more #also because i miss it but that's a given #anyway i fucking love the fact that i have students i know back to front and i know what they need to work on and i know how they operate #best and it's just like yeah yeah absolutely good for you you'll get there

[pawphin]

#okay i know it sounds silly #but seeing stuff like this just further encourages me to becoming a teacher of some sorts #i teach piano and i love when he is proud of himself and showing off like FUCK YEAH DUDE!!! YOU DESERVE IT!! #ive thought about being a teacher ever since i watched assclass in 2018 and honestly it sounds right for me #i wish it was a better job in general but i cant imagine being anything else #working with kids is so healing and teaches you so much patience #gonna talk to my counselor about potentially switching majors

#grogu djarin leaving din w the imperials and minding his own business until he bumps into someone wearing a lot of red. and he stands there #for a moment. before going 'fucking SHIT i need to go back' #grogu having to fight an aq vetinian version of a mudhorn (aq vetinian mudhorn?) and getting his ass kicked until din steps in to help. he #passes out afterwards and grogu's like 🧍‍♂️until he remembers he has to actually kill the beast #'listen idk what kind of magic youve got going on kid but i still have a job to do' '(empathetic signing)' 'still dont know what that means #grogu would prolly teach din a lot more stuff than canon din had taught grogu just because roleswap din is a lot older than canon grogu #(<- this provides speed effect x2 to the attachment bar) #role swap

So I was back to subbing at the elementary school today, which as I've mentioned is my favorite place to work. In some ways it's just the most comfortable to me; this is now my fourth year in a row I've had some kind of job associated with kids of that age group who attend that school, so I know a lot of the students and faculty. Actually, a lot of the faculty who work there today have been working there since I was a student.

Most of them recognized me immediately when I started showing my face there, like I didn't graduate from there over a decade ago, age 11. There was one para, who now works as a library assistant, but who used to monitor lunch and recess. I didn't remember her name but I knew her face. The first time she saw me subbing she was just like "oh, hi Diana."

I was talking to her this morning before school started because a first grade teacher unexpectedly called out, so I filled in for her for the first hour of the day before I started the job I clocked in for and a replacement could be found. But this library assistant usually leads the morning meetings with this first grade class and would help me with attendance and all those other beginning-of-the-day responsibilities.

She was saying to me "You know, why don't you work here full time? You're good with kids. You'd be good at it." In other small talk we'd had last year she had asked me similar things, like if I'd ever consider taking up a steady job at the elementary school, how my school was going, etc. I'm in between college right now but currently not taking classes. And I mentioned how I'm trying to take more sub jobs at the middle and high school so I get more well-rounded—that actually is the age group my education major is in. I've been working with the preschool-to-fifth-grade age range but my plan has always been middle-to-high school English.

And I was telling her about that, and I was like "You know what? When I tell people I want to teach older kids, some say to me stuff like 'oh you never know, you might change your mind'—and only recently I've been wondering if I really would. But I hate it when they're right!"

And that made her laugh. But it's true! I do really love working with the littles, as it turns out. Been doing it several years now. But in terms of anyone who's ever mentioned that to me unprompted, I wanna be like... hey, what do you know?!?!

#i have complicated feelings about it #my elementary school is a good place to work though. maybe i would be a para or smth full-time. id consider it #tales from diana #it's just. actually no one would ever say that to a man lol. that's probably why that bothers me #altho. i did actually get my one friend to start subbing in the district too. #male friend. my age. does other stuff for work so he doesn't sub as much as i do. #has the same level of education as me but has considered becoming a teacher someday and i was like 'why not try subbing?' #so i sent him the application and then that was that #and he. like a lot of men. doesnt primarily WANT to teach elementary or early childhood. #great news btw. a 5th grade teacher retired at the end of last year and one of the new hires is the first #male classroom teacher this school has had in YEARS. the only other male teacher is the gym teacher. thats SAD #but yeah so i was telling him 'i know u might be intimidated by working w kids but you should really try it' #'you might like it more than you think' #what's funny is tutoring and working in childcare didn't make me feel like i wanted to start teaching younger. at ALL #but subbing around has made me rethink it. but then again it also might just be #i get the most boring ass shit to do when i sub at the middle or high school. #subbing at an elementary school is so much more involved no matter what youre doing #with olders it's like. ok here's your assignment your teacher left you. sit at your desk and shut up #i realize the bias that is at play here making me reconsider my future path lol.

#hanging out with kids is so funny #if you ever want an undeserved confidence boost literally just hang out with kids and teach them how to do something #like a funny trick with your hands or watch a movie together #because they legit think youre an amazing wizard for the most normal stuff #like me telling my nieces that the characters onscreen were named linus and charlie #they were like HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT #or me knowing the words to the 12 days of christmas #its like well kids the song is actually a couple hundred years old #or reading a book with my cousin and knowing a character's name literally because i read it on the page and he was like 'are you a genius' #also they show you the funniest things as skills like #sitting on the ground and you just have to applaud like its the Olympics #which i of course do because they applaud me for knowing who charlie brown is #p

Man, working with kids is so entertaining. This 8th grader I’m teaching is so enamoured by me and I just lie to him abt the most inconsequential shit lol.

#I love kids they’re so funny sometimes #brah this little boy is so fucking funny like #him and his friend got into an argument and he was like ‘let’s arm wrestle about it’ and his friend was like ‘you won’t win’ and this kid is #like ‘I won’t but I’m still gonna do it’ #hes like i know im gonna lose but I’ll still fight you #one day I asked him if he liked his ass beat (in a more professional manner obv) and he was just like ‘yes’ I was like ????😭😭😭 #omg he’s got Ranpo vibes lol. very very son boy energy #today I told him that I have a skateboard and his eyes LIT UP and he was like CAN I TRY PLEASEEEEE #I was like child…… #he said he wants to learn how to skateboard and I low key want to teach him?? I kinda like hanging out with him he’s very entertaining #very sharp as well like he’s a great learner and catches concepts very well he’s just a little insufferable at times but like. I get it yk? #he’s annoying but in like a charming kid way. like it’s endearing in a way. like sometimes you wanna toss him into the ocean but you also #wanna protect him yk? now I know why fukuzawa felt so compelled to adopt Ranpo like I get it now #I feel my parental instincts swell 10x when I’m with that kid #low key makes me want a kid but I know I’m not fit to raise a kid but like gradual exposure like this is enough for me I can’t care full #time for a whole other human. though teaching them stuff is so fun lol #text

i think im in big trouble

#i hate history so much #i think i once made a post about ''the reason i hate it is because i dont understand it but im getting there and economics is interesting #and politics is too i just hate it because i dont understand it'' bc i genuinely thought so. no i just hate it so fucking much #i have a presentation next week about a current event and i have to answer ''how does this affect canada'' and its gotta talk about either #economics or politics and i know NOTHING about that. literally 0. today this kid got humiliated because his current event was about a #school shooting recently and it was like social psychological soething and no econ/politics and i wanted to die #its gonna be me next week im actually going to cry i hate history guys like. i'd rather physics and thats saying SOMETHING. it also doesnt #help that my history teacher is like. bullshitting everything. he's so smart dont get me wrong. one of the most philosophical and smartest #men i've met but holy jesus fuck he can't teach. he can talk and talk and talk but he doesnt teach you how to get those conclusions and #actually apply them to like stuff. yeah i have to talk about the economy and shit but how do i do that. i can memorize thigns he says but #that's not understanding???? there's an alternate history teacher and im actually going to cry bc hes an actual teacher and he also likes #me very much. (he is literally paying for my physics tutoring...). anyyways that's that. #also at work i won an award for personnel with most customer 5/5 stars #like god i love my job #and today i might or might not have purposely flirted with a man so that he could do the survey that gives me 5/5 #lol #produce guy is actually a robot i fear. either that or he genuinely doesn't like me because

[cinnabeat]

no tbh congrats to axel for basically raising two kids on his own like i think if they werent in the organization there wouldnt be nearly as much angst

#like. they really do try to communicate with each other #but its hard when your every move is scrutinized and any hint of emption is mercilessly shut down #and when everyone says one of you isnt real #and one of you has to kill the other #and everyone has to disappear #lmao MY POINT IS that the way axel talks to xion and roxas is like sooo similar to how i talk to my little brother sometimes #like they ask a question and the way he sometimes goes what do YOU think #or the way he explains things like i get it bro i too explain things like that to my little brother #and how its SO OBVIOUS he wants to shield them from the bad stuff but its really hard #like how parents need to be told to just let their kids get hurt sometimes bc you cant keep them safe all the time #like you can warn them all you like you can teach them all you know you can protect them as long as your able to but eventually theyre gonna #make their own decisions bc theyre independent little people and you have to just sit back and accept it and be there for them if it goes wr #wrong. except going wrong for roxas and xion means never coming back #and it might be the right thing to do in the end in a way but. it also really isnt #its both selfish and selfless #you just cant win :( #michi tag #thats not to say axel didnt fuck up lmao cuz he did but i think given the circumstances #it was the best anyone could do #unfortunately their best sucks shit but like again what can you do 😭
