Part 1 of this thing that doesn’t actually have a steady flow

But wouldn’t it be so funny that the guy you get along with just fine is the brother of the guy that you feel like wanting to shower after making eye contact? Because I think it is

Apologies for the weird colors I did my best with the lighting I have 🧎‍♀️

#Vash and Wolfwood share an arts optional major #major??? SUBJECT OANEMW #Vash needed the credits and WW wanted to learn after a kid at the orphanage asked if he would be able to teach him how to draw #he saw it was possible for him to take it so he squished it in. he then found out how bad he is at painting big he does his best #and Vash helps him becasue he finds it awesome how a teaching/education major is trying to expand on his field #so he is always encouraging and patient. even if they like very different artistic movements #I also imagine WW being super organized with his notes #he is a generally organized person but he did not care about notes in his previous major #now his motivation are the kids so he really is putting the effort this time.they aren’t flashy but they look neat and do the work just fine #I also think he knows that those two HAVE to be related but is in severe denial until two weeks later after meeting Vash this happens #trigun #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun stampede #vashwood #trigun fanart #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #Nai saverem #millions knives #Trigun Uni!

Ahhh!!

This time I’m here with zora kid oc concepts for me and @werewolfsister !!

On the left is Kenne and Bazz’s son! On the right is Esis and Viri’s daughter! (That Kenne would be a surrogate for).

These two half siblings are very much loved by their parents!! But they definitely bicker to each other haha. I know that Bazz and Kenne’s kid would be quiet and probably spend a lot of time hiding behind his parent’s leg or sitting in nature and being alone. Then Viri and Esis’ kid would be finding random critters in nature to show her brother who is probably terrified. And tease him about being scared.

//this is just Wolf Children kid dynamics who can blame me I love that movie//

#fish kids!! #Esis teaches his kid how to give the finger to others #Viri meanwhile teaches the daughter royal etiquette! which she uses for scheming. #Bazz enjoys his son exploring at his own pace #as Bazz doesn’t want his kid to feel pressured to be something just because of him… like how Seggin pressured Bazz into being a guard #kenne just refuses to explain conception #don’t ask her she’ll have war flashbacks #spaghetti #spaghetti isn’t related Its just what I had for dinner #zora may #ZoraMay #zora oc #zora #Zorasona

I feel like my main beef with the Danny Phantom fandom is that they’re always torturing Danny when Vlad is RIGHT THERE

#mott txt #like come on guys TORTURE THAT OLD MAN #danny phantom #Danny Fenton #dp #vlad masters #vlad plasmius #maybe it’s bc I’m a teacher and I teach kids Danny’s age but I rlly do actually hate content of him getting hurt …hurts my heart #he was only 14 <\3 #like 14 yr olds ate so small and still so child like I hate to imagine it #vlad on the other hand…..beat that old man’s ASS #he deserves it AND it’s sexy #also I just find vlad so interesting and for some reason I’ve always related to him (before s3 at least) #all my fanon headcanons of vlad don’t really include s3 tbh #what am I even talking abt at this point

Hello! Very random and no worries if that's not your intention for the blog, but I love reading about your teacher experience and insights! Take this ask more so as encouragement to write more about it if you feel like it, because I'm going to start teaching soon (and yes, many people I've met have warned me about both its miracles and horrors lol) and it's really helpful to hear others' experiences :)

Thanks for the ask! Honestly I'm just a first year, so I don't have a tonnnn of advice to give. But here's a few general first year tips from one to a future another:

1 — No matter what, having a good department team is ESSENTIAL. You're going to be relying on them a lot your first year for help, advice, curriculum stuff, behavioral management stuff, etc. Talk to them, get to know them, have lunch with them, share issues/seek advice from them. You're going to encounter situations that your degree did not prepare you for (likely, in the first week lol. For me, it was Day 1) and having people around to help you judgement free is going to be crucial. I was super lucky that my department team and all the teachers from other departments that I work closely with are really amazing, easy to work with, etc.

2 — You're also going to want a good relationship with the "other" departments. The library staff, tech staff, sped department, guidance, janitors, etc. They're all lovely people, so don't be afraid to pop in to introduce yourself on the first week!

3 — Crazy things are going to happen. Like....all the time. Don't bring them home with you. As soon as you exit the doors, shake it off. All your students made it on the bus to their parents alive, so it's fine. Your job is done for the day. I've been going to the gym a lot right from school, and it's been really helpful to prevent myself from taking anything home with me so to speak.

4 — Document, document, document. Did something happen? Document it, email a copy to whoever's applicable: admin, guidance, sped, BCBA, etc. "Hello, just emailing a summary of what happened today" is not an uncommon email for me to send out. If an IEP isn't working, well at the next IEP meeting it shows they have 10 emails in the last month from you about little Timmy's hourly verbal threats and attempted physical violence to his classmates, so maybe the BCBA needs to do some data collection to adjust his BIP, or they need to give him a 1-1, or give him more resource intervention, etc.

5 — This isn't so much of advice, more like reassurance. The small moments when it clicks for a student and they get something, and then the confidence and excitement shows, it's really the best. That's probably why I've fallen so in love with working where I did. The other day, after weeks of struggling to help this student with Downs with his math, I tried a totally different approach based off a few example problems I saw in a math intervention workbook and hOLY HELL IT WORKED. It totally clicked for him, and the kid was so excited to do a problem out on the board for the class. It was amazing. Another student with an LD who I've been helping heavily school aced a quiz in one of her classes and legit ran into the room to show me. Cue me literally jumping out of my chair to high-five her, and her calling her parents to deliver the good news. Like, little things like that are really really special, and they're going to mean so much to you. And I hope you get to experience LOTS of them too!

#ask #not dp related #teaching #it's a great career but it can be stressful if you don't have other outlets #having lots of hobbies outside of school has helped prevent burnout significantly #i also do gig work in my other career outside of school #which has been another great outlet! #i have ppl i work with who i can see are reaching burnout now #and being in a place where you dread going to work every day is both not good for your mental health #and also isn't good for the kids you're working with #so preventing that is honestly key #i'd like to think that it's because i haven't been afraid to rely on those around me for help when i need it has been a huge factor #if something happened i have a few veteran teachers who have kinda taken the mentor role on me that i can go to #and when they need a judgement-free listening ear im open to be that person for them as well #i've also gotten to know some ppl in other departments pretty well #which is helpful when i'm struggling with a specific student #i can go to one of their other teachers and see how it's going in their classes #compare notes and whatnot

bob's burgers s7ep14 A plot: the kids start a religious cult

B plot: bob realizes he has autism

#the subplot is SOO funny to me just linda trying to teach bob basic social skills for 10 minutes straight 😭 #its so awkward and relatable #and he's SO BAD. WITH THE CUSTOMERS #he's allowed to be bad w/ them bcuz he has kids who are mostly okay with them and linda #txt #bob's burgers

Mike trying to rationalize why Henry is okay with his dad hurting him, even when Michael isn't okay with him hurting his siblings. Even when nobody is okay with Michael hurting his siblings.

It wasn't as bad, right? He never laid a finger on them. They were only words.

Maybe it's because Mike is older. This bleeds into his protests, his haphazard attempts to protect. "Please, he's only six." Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him the way that you hurt me.

William finds this entertaining. He makes note of these things, wonders if he'd respond differently if William tried something else.

Maybe it's because William is an adult. He learns not to trust anyone older than him, but to let them do whatever they want. He learns to freeze; to shut down.

This makes him an easy target later on.

Is it because Michael deserves it? After Evan dies, he's sure that must be it. Willian knew what he was, and he only gave him what he already had coming. Michael was a murderer, after all. He deserved everything anyone might do to him.

It was his own fault.

#really hinting at the plot point in ch 4 of blips here #i kind of talk around it bc people are cagier w that subject than physical abuse #but it's very important to me that you know it happened as a culmination of mike's conditioning #to just shut down and let people do whatever they want #it 100% wouldn't have happened without william being the way that he was. even though he wasn't present #and wouldn't be likely to do something of that nature himself #it's also related to michael growing up with a well meaning friend who doesn't respect his boundaries #as sort of a cautionary tale to actually teach kids these things #nobody commented on my themes yet so im just fucking telling you all lmao #fnaf #michael afton #william afton #character study #sort of #character meta #also sort of #mike's actual writing #cw abuse #implied csa #with the easy target line #and the ending line

#when i used to work at burgerking the parking lot literally looked like that and it would be dark and I NEVER STOPPED THINKING ABOUT THIS #the two weeks i worked at burgerking is hwen i made like. my weird au related to genesis apocryphon #duudeeee #when i first found out about it i lost my mind because i came up with my whole concept of be.ginner bible tapes traumatizing someone to a #point where they have a horrible fear of angels and gab. is like Hm... this is gonna be Really Funny and teaches some 20 year old about the #universe #but ends up being a good thing ? ? #< i havent gotten far to the au i still am processing how they would interact with eachother upon first meeting #i have to say my absolute favorite scene in man.dela is gab and dave like ? ??!!?!? I SAW IT LIVE LIKE WHEN IT WAS PREMERING AND I LOVEEE #VOL 4 ITS SOO GOOOD #i never really talk about this anymore but for a bit of last year i hardcore kinned si/x and like oh my god #dadtruder being CANON made me so happy because i was fighting for my LIFE to other mand/ela fans i know and NONE OF THEM AGREED WITH ME #i rewatched vo/l 4 with like 5 different people the day it came out i am not kidding #my initial getting into the series was really strange #it all started by seeing someone in an avatar of him in vr chat ?? but like a long time before that i saw someone who did this AMAZING #FANART OF HIM and when i staw it i just Stared at it for an Hour. #but there was someone in a del/taru/ne world on v/rchat and i just stared with autistic eyes i wanted to ask for the avi so bad but i was #way to anxious BC IT WAS LIKE.

feel like the main reason billy hargrove is such a ‘controversial’ character is because you can’t put him in a neat little box

#he’s complex baby #billy hargrove #i know it’s a reason #but i’m saying the MAIN reason #because you can’t say he’s good or bad #he does shitty things while being in an actively abusive situation #he reacts to trauma in a way a lot of people do but don’t talk about #he loves metal and drives a fast car #he teaches kids to swim at the pool and protects his little sister #he’s ‘cool’ #he works out smokes and drinks beer #his dad calls him slurs #he’s sensitive he’s angry #he cries a lot and he knows how to pack a punch #we get his backstory and it’s not pretty #he’s messy #he’s human #and that’s why so many people relate to him #not even wank this is purely an observation #because nothing is ever black and white #people want to hate him because it’s easy #easier than understanding #which is also what happens in the real world #it’s interesting i guess #anyway i love him so much #because dacre did all this #made billy into the character he is #feeling oddly positive but it’s like i relate to billy a lot so when people say shit and i actually think about it it helps me understand #stuff in my own world if that makes sense

there are millenials who, as far as they are concerned, were taught to read by THE lt geordi la forge of the star trek enterprise

#i am one of them #so nice of that space man to come down to earth to teach us all to read #he forgot his glasses which is something i also did when i was a kid #relatable 🥰 #star trek next gen #star trek next generation #star trek #geordi la forge #lt geordi la forge #can i get a woohoo from anyone who learned about the joys for reading from their childhood crush

truth be told team I’m a little tilted today because some young folks were complaining about their apartment being ghetto and like cringed faux-apologetically & giggled when I walked past them

every other day I step outside I can feel the memory of I Have A Dream disappear from my mind like Sora entering Castle Oblivion but Ill keep it a buck: its a small price to pay for takoyaki being in walking distance

#at this point -- yknow seven years into living in this neighborhood -- ive accepted that there is quite simply something wrong with people #and since it wont be fixed in our lifetime or before climate collapse I might as well live my best life and eat until I busttt lets go #loosely related but like when people say these antics will somehow end when baby boomers die I laugh like girl stoppp playing #its not enough to teach your kids not to say hard r nigger you need to incorporate anti-racism and understand black people have feelings fr #looked at me and giggled like I was a punchline to a silly joke girl im lifting my hands off the keyboard

in a perfect world i think i would be a science teacher

#idk i was taught so much misinformation about science growing up and i know kids these days dont have it much better so i wanna make it so #kids can learn and be fascinated by (real) science as much as i was as a kid learning about dinosaurs and space #not how i was as a kid learning about vaccines and medicine #and i truly do think that a foundation in one science will make it exceedingly difficult to be misinformed in any other science #since they all operate on the same exact principles #idk i want future generations to be as fascinated and filled with wonder about *everything* that young me #because nothing is as freeing as learning how everything truly works #i want future kids to be as fascinated by evolution and space as i was #but also with any other field of science because i think the more the general populous knows how things work #the less shitty our societies will be #and countless people will benefit in the long run #i want to teach the future generations of a future sunrise that i will never see #i want people invested in every aspect of learning and bettering our understanding of everything #including empathy and learning to relate to your fellow human and also your cousin species #because literally everything in this fucking universe is related to eachother #we are all born from the same stardust that would form the most massive of galaxies and the most minute of organisms #we should be taught that life is a miracle and we should treasure every bit of it we possibly can

did i ever get around to mentioning that my least favourite era of tf cartoons (2010-2017, all technically in the same 'continuity' even though. their obviously not actually. and also. that real bad comics lore) there is so much messaging around the idea that like "you need to stick up for yourself" but it will always be completely encounter to the way everyone acts, the meanness of the humour used, and that like... you have to stick up for yourself! against your direct superiors! no they are NOT beholden to you 'sticking up for yourself' and have no particular method of account. You just! Have to! and once you do! they will, ofc, due to their good nature, realise the error of their ways and redress.... i mean. maybe. at least until next episode?

do i think this has ANYTHING to do with how propagandist each show is regards to... the government, the military, police or even yeah religion, and or how they characterize their settings with having NO tf civilians/non combatants.... WELL.

#some shit #its not called cisformers #this era being sandwiched between the show that said oh the good guys govt is act like. a military propagandist state and antagonist force #[common animated w] #and the show thats like. why the war started is unclear but these ppl use to be friends and civilians but the complex relations between #warring factions makes actions reverbate like dominoes thus reestablishing peace is very hard for material practical reasons #[beloved CV narrative focus] #WELL #did think of this cause of an actually poignant real world post whoops #2010-2017 era shows ofc being. the edgy one. the preschool ones. and the copaganda one <- my favourite of the lot. believe it or not. #this is less moral outrage that THE KIDS MEDIA ISNT teaching good lessons and more like. how put. lacking both the emotional depth #to do actually good moralizing. OR the sophistication to just. have fucked up shit happen and like. damn. thats fucked up. #which again. is less caused because of the media and age demo its for. cause the shows b4 and after ARE NOT THIS. #but more. i always suspect. those FUCKING MOVIES. setting us back SEVERELY. #(in terms of how preschool age shows have no civilians is like. how everyone needs A JOB. in the SYSTEM #no Hey its COOL. if ur just. a kid. or. an unaffiliated Guy. hanging out)
