#life as a TA

[smallfrenchstudyblr]

Dark Academia ? Light Academia ? I bring you F-in-the-Chat Academia aesthetic :

Website of the database you need to use right now is down

The library does not have the book you really, really need

Emails that go : "Subject : Your submission to our journal. We regret to inform you..."

Coffee machine being restocked when you desperately need caffeine

Grading season but it's 70 essays on the same topic

Emails that go : "Subject : Conference - CANCELLATION"

Coffee spilled on yourself right before the lecture

4 different forms to fill to be reimbursed of your train tickets to a conference

Classroom is closed and no one has the keys

"Has... anyone done the readings ?"

Emails that go "Subject : Today's class cancelled" when you just arrived to the room

Internet down in the whole University.

I just keep thinking about a silly little like one-shot scenario of sometime during the course of Neil and Andrew being at Palmetto there being a graduation requirement where Neil has to be a TA for one of the like lower level math courses, or a teacher asks him to be a TA since he had such an excellent grasp on the subject material.

And per most colleges in the United States of America there are a lot of classes you have to take just for your General Education.

Guess who had been putting off taking his Gen-Ed for Math?

Andrew Minyard.

Guess who is signed up for Neil's class since he just let his advisor pick it for him?

Andrew Minyard.

Guess who hears his classmates giggling about his boyfriend and talking about going to Neil's office hours to try and get a date with one of their schools campus hotties?

Andrew Minyard.

Andrew never misses a class and certainly never an office hour. He doesn't need to ask Neil anything but he is always there. He has no doubt that Neil would fail to recognize any attempt to flirt with him and that Neil only has eyes for him. It is more that Neil is so unaware of people's attraction to him that he sometimes doesn't realize when people are going too far.

It was already bad enough that he had to give his phone number out to everyone in the class in case they had questions. Plenty of people reaching out with questions that DID NOT PERTAIN TO STATS 1000.

Andrew walks out of the Stats class with an A+ with extra credit and his own offer to be a TA but declines.

#Just a silly little thought of a 5+1 that I might do someday #If I ever get through all my BOUNTIFUL AUs #or maybe on the side for fun as I write those #IDK #Just remembering my TA days #Longest semester of my LIFE #AFTG #Andreil #Also like #If anyone wants to write this #pls tell me about it

I had the weirdest dream last night that they made an AOS animated series which had an episode that made it canon that Bones was secretly a superhuman cursed to remain immortal until he had cured all of humanity's suffering, but also that he gained his powers from the pierogi his mother made in a mall food court. I guess his mother was also immortal, but that was never explained.

This, of course, set off a lot of furious online discourse about whether TAAS (the alternate animated series) was actually canon or not. The cool thing to do when anyone insisted it wasn't was to just reply "ok gene" (as in Roddenberry, who reportedly didn't view the original TAS as canon), and it started trending as a tag. Because nobody capitalized the name, people outside of the fandom had no idea what was going on. Tumblr started speculating that scientists had discovered the "okay gene," as in the gene that made you feel okay, and everyone was saying "brb, gotta get my genome adjusted to add in the okay gene."

It was ironic, I thought, because if TAAS Bones could only actually discover the okay gene, he could cure all of humanity's suffering and finally get some rest.

...I have got to shut off social media.

His back against the earth, cushioned by grass, oh how much Arthur longed for stars above to reach out and ask,

"What do you yearn for?"

He envisions their silent presence, with all burdens they store.

Perhaps they have a haven where his secrets sleep, only to be awoken when the yearning's deep.

But with no stars to ask, his heart remained back, tucked away in the confines of inked pages, bound by leather and secrecy.

𑁦𐂂𑁦

#ta da #brain soup poetry #sort of #something really reaches to me with the fact that arthur isn't strictly religious in any one way but he believes in nature and higher powers #he spends majority of his life outside in forests or plains anywhere #and he always seems to have the best view of the stars #when you find the meteorite site in the forest he writes that it “came from the heavens” #arthur to me is a cosmos in his own #a milky way of brilliant stars #that's the best way I can describe the depth to his character #ahh #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #arthur morgan #mick thinks

I thought the biggest issue with ChatGPT would be students using it and me not spotting it.

Ha.

No.

The biggest issue is students using it, me spotting it and having no recourse whatsoever to do anything about it.

I'm sorry but the second they showed Mary Jane, I was completely distracted from the actual plot.

They just casually resolved a 26-year cliffhanger! She made it back! Spider-man saved her! AHHHHHHH!!!!

#sorry folks i was a spider-man tas kid first and foremost #if you resolve a cliffhanger i've been waiting most of my life over #then yeah i'm going to be focused on that #anyway cheers to another solid episode and cheers to spider-man 98! #marvel #xmen 97 #xmen spoilers #spiderman the animated series #spiderman #mary jane watson #peter parker #stargazer rambles

Ar-Pharazon from the Reverse Gondolin AU and as Witch-King of Numenor - thanks to @who-needs-words for helping develop this idea!

#silm #silmarillion #second age #ar pharazon #reverse gondolin au #(well more like the aftermath of gondolin reversal) #this au has consumed my life #on the plus side inspiration for feanor is finally reemerging from under the metaphorical couch so i might get something finwion-y done soo #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so much to draw so little time #seriously though golden nazgul is such a cool idea #whatever the mordor equivalent for the angband trio is (sauron pharazon and shelob maybe?) is going to look so cool in black and gold #black/gold black hole shelob!! #and prince elrond is super finwiony looking #also he has his wings & glowiness out a lot more so that'll be fun #but yeah basically in the au Prince Elrond realized via foresight what was happening/going to happen in numenor #so he went there and disowned ar pharazon (by extension removing him from the throne) and crowned tar miriel rightful Ruling Queen #then later when sauron showed up he came back kicked sauron out and outlawed the death cult #but between that time sauron secretly recruited ar pharazon by promising him kingship in exchange for his support #and anyways ar pharazon survived all the way to the TA as the Witch King #(mr. angmar here gets to be second in command of the nazgul sorry) #-imagine this guy showing up to be all 'bagginssss' though #the witch king of numenor is somehow even more dramatic #also the whole 'no living man can kill me' is. a bit different coming from a guy who has many enemies in the form of #a) his cousin the Ruling Queen of Numenor #b) his uncle the choice-of-elves-peredhel #c) a bunch of Faithful in the Halls #the dead guys aren't too much of a problem #but i wonder if he heard that prophecy and worried a whole lot more about the Ruling Queens #or Prince Elrond who in the au has very definitely embraced his maia-ness #and then imagine his surprise hearing 'but no living man am i' and it coming from. a random human lady.

i love you actors that just get their characters like ta does macau.

#macau #kinnporsche #ta saying macau is whiny? but also brave enough to question things? how he's needy and wants attention? how he only has vegas? #YEAH. YEAH. YEAAAH. #him saying that macau feels like bc hes the youngest of the lot he feels so average with nothing to offer?? #so his dad just overlooks him and dismisses him COMPLETELY. GODDDDD. and THATS why he does feel loved. #compared to vegas who does EVERYTHING asked and still he made to feel worthless by his dad #OOOFT. yeah the minor family dynamics are where its AT. #god its SO interesting to me how ta's like macau knows he wants attention and care but the difference is that #he isnt shy to ask for it. compared to vegas who wont but CRAVES it but wont Say It. #and thats ALL BC vegas all his life has TOLD macau to TELL HIM WHAT HE NEEDS and that vegas will give it him #so GOD that smile in the epilogue??? hospital scene?? WHEN HE SEES HOW HAPPY VEGAS IS WITH PETE?? #AND HE SMIIIILES AT THEM??? BC FINALLY VEGAS SPOKE HIS DESIRES??? OH GOD IM OK IM OK IM OK.
