Math nerd au 👀 i love that funky lil accountant
WIP Wednesday Game 8/16/23 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU
"What's 8 x 42?" Matt says as they head towards the front door.
"336." Neil answers without any hesitation waving to the hostess.
".02 x 85?" Matt tries for something harder." Matt asks opening the door for Neil.
"1.70" Neil returns opening the second door for Matt.
"You're seriously just doing that all in your head?!" Matt exclaims as they walk out into the warmth of the South Carolina sun.
"Well, I am here to get my degree in accounting." Neil says with a shrug and Matt can see him visibly enjoying the warmth after sitting in the cold of the restaurant.
"Oh cool!" somehow their own majors and future plans had not come up at any point during the course of their lunch conversation. "I'm in business administration, though I'm hoping to be able to play Exy professionally." Matt says scratching his cheek a bit in embarrassment.

stress reliever
pairing: chan x self insert (female)
description: college au! school was hard and you often find yourself taking life a little too seriously - that’s where chan comes in. after being paired up for a science project (that’s worth a lot of your grade), you become irritable and stressed. the problem being, chan doesn't like attitudes. 
warnings: fluff and smut themes, lots of dirty talk, male receiving oral, dom!chan, bratty and sub!reader, degradation and public sex ig???
word count: 2.5k
requested by: @coffeechangbeanie​ (slightly adapted the plot - not by much) also based on this unholy gif of chan. ur welcome
Tumblr media
“and that leaves chan and y/n” your professor said, nodding at you both. “i expect every single person to do their part in this assignment, is that clear?” he continued. the class acknowledged his wishes, despite half of them being asleep. 
you looked to your side to see your project partner, chan, who coincidentally happened to be your current fuck buddy. you had absolutely no idea how this came to be. you were a quiet, quote-on-quote ‘nerd’ and most boys at your school didn’t look at you. at least, that was the case, until you caught chan’s attention. of course, you found him insanely attractive. after all, his big lips and buff body ran around in your mind most days. you mostly saw him at school, as well as the very few parties you attended. you never considered approaching him, though. he’s usually found beside dozens of girls (hotter and more popular than you), pretty much begging to ride him. 
you also never considered the idea that chan, of all people, would approach you and offer you help. the very few times that boys spoke to you, it usually consisted of them for help with the work that had been set. yet, the ‘relationship’ between you two started the day he saw you staring at the paper in front of you with utter distress in your eyes. 
-
“y/n, right?” he spoke from behind you, his hand making an appearance on the table next to you. instantly you felt a knot in your stomach as he leaned over you, “you are looking particularly stressed” he continued. 
“u-urm, yeah a bit” you choked out, trying to swallow your nerves away. “maths is hard” you near enough whispered, not daring to look at him. 
“hmm, that’s not good. is it?” he sympathised, which sent shivers down your spine. the deep tone in his voice made it sound more like a groan, one that you had daydreamed of frequently. you shook your head frantically in response, acknowledging his words but fearing what your mouth would blurt out. this was quickly noted by chan, who radiated confidence like you had never seen before. you felt him bend over, his mouth now level with your ear. “can’t you use your big girl words?” he whispered. “want me to help you?” 
you gasped quietly at his seductive words and although you may be shy, you certainly are not stupid. his choice of words gave away exactly what he was offering you and as nerve-racking the experience may be, you were certain that a man as fine as him was going to know what to do in the bedroom. 
and well, you were right. 
-
“so when do you wanna get this out of the way with?” chan asked, snapping you back to reality. he noticed the dazed look in your eye, it was very apparent you were daydreaming about something. “thinking about last night?” he smirked, his hand now placed firmly on your thigh. 
you tutted in response, “no actually, i wasn't”. you tried to suppress your emotion, considering his guess wasn't too far off what you were actually thinking about. “stressed” you explained in attempt to change the subject. his hand moved to your lower back, rubbing gentle circles to soothe you. although chan was strictly your fuck buddy and stress reliever, he always provided you with comfort when you needed it. “relax, y/n” he told you, “we’ll get it done and we will get a good grade for you”. 
although he wasn’t the type of student that particularly cared about his grades, he at least tried to get a half decent grade - to some extent, at least. “can we meet up in our free period tomorrow?” you looked at him, wanting to get this stupid project over and done with. he nodded, secretly knowing it meant he would get some alone time with you. 
“cool, thanks”, you smiled forgetting where you were for a second, too busy staring into the chocolate brown eyes next to you, until the loud ringing of the bell made you jump. you were relived to have an excuse to look a way from him. 
without fail, every time you made eye contact with chan you were left with a pool of wetness between your legs - he knew it, too. he would stare at you, his head slightly titled back with his perfect pink lips begging to be kissed. he would lick his lips while staring at you, making them glisten in the most beautiful way possible. from his point of view, you looked desperate for his touch and he thrived off it. he often laughed at the expression on your face when you frantically deny that you aren’t turned on - you both know he can read you like a book. 
you hopped off the lab stool before bending down to pick up your bag, making sure chan had a good view of your ass. you heard him chuckle, “already wet from a bit of eye contact?” he teased. you smirked as your back was facing him, not offering him a response to his question but rather throwing your hand up to wave him goodbye. most likely, you were going to pay for that behaviour later. chan made it clear from the very beginning that he wanted you to be verbal and most of the time you were, except the odd occasion when you felt bratty. 
although you could count on chan to help with the project, ultimately you never split assignments with anyone 50/50. there had been one too many occasions of classmates fake promising you that ‘i’ll do it later!’, for you to fully relax. you headed towards your usual spot in the library, a table that was slightly hidden away amongst the endless shelves of books before setting your books down on the table. 
you picked your phone up which led you to the realisation that only an hour had gone by. you sighed, throwing your head onto the table in frustration. this project was a lot harder than you thought it was going to be and will all due respect to chan, if you didn't understand, he wasn’t going to either. 
your entire body had been screaming for you to go home and sleep for the past four hours, yet you refused and continued to sit there in complete and utter annoyance. it wasn't until the clock read 11pm that you decided enough was enough and picked your bag up with significant force, stress seeping from every inch of your body at this point. 
when you arrived at your apartment you immediately ran to your bed, not bothering to change - sleep was your priority right now.
*buzz, buzz* 
your eyes flickered open to the painful sound of your alarm, desperately throwing your arms around until you found the sounds source. you sighed, staring at your ceiling, contemplating if the pain of going to college was worth it after all. 
forty-five minutes later you were ready and heading out of the door, ready for another day of stress. you felt your phone buzz in your pocket, smiling to yourself knowing exactly who it was going to be.
[08:49am] chan: still on for later baby girl?
[08:49am] y/n: yes
you thought by now you’d be used to the pet names he called you, but you sure as hell were not. 
[08:50am] chan: ok. excited to see your little pretty face. 
[08:51am] y/n: science project, remember? 
you rolled your eyes in annoyance and shoved your phone back in your pocket. yes, as much as you wanted to ride chan’s face and be fucked into oblivion by him, you had other priorities right now. you barely slept last night because of this stupid project, the last thing you wanted was chan to be all over you when trying to complete it. 
-
"you’re late” he teased you as you walked into the science lab where you agreed to meet. your eyes gazed at your watch, which showed 1:33pm. you scoffed, “hardly”.  
you took out your laptop and textbook, tossing both onto the countertop next to chan, before making your way over to the stool to this right. he noticed your demeanour straight away, usually you would have apologised for being late - even if it was only three minutes - and you would have crawled to his side offering to make it up to him. he decided to remain quiet for the time being though, the longer your attitude lasted, the more reason he would have to get his way with you. 
you opened up the textbook to reveal the notes you spent hours on last night. “you already started?” he queried, pulling the book closer to him with a confused look on his face. 
“yes and it’s going to be a hard essay to write so we better get on with it” you noted, opening up a word document on your computer. 
“and you started writing it?” he asked, this time in disbelief. 
“only a few hundred words” you shrugged like it was nothing, even though it took you hours. he sighed, “its a project for two people, y’know?” 
“yes chan, of course i know that. i was in the class with you when it was given, was i not?” you snapped at him, running your hands through your hair in frustration. he meant nothing by his words and you knew he was right, you probably should have waited to start it but your inability to cope with stress takes over you sometimes. 
“attitude, y/n” he warned you sternly. alongside the rule of always being verbal and answering his questions, chan also had a rule against bratty attitudes. if he sensed an attitude on you, he would fix it via a punishment - something you were *somewhat* familiar with. the few times you were bratty it was usually because of how irritable you become when stressed. “was just saying”, he defended himself. 
you ignored his warning, continuing with “you weren’t gonna be the one to do the background reading, were you chan?”. 
once you made the mistake of turning to face him and realising he had an eyebrow raised at you and a dark look in his eye, you knew you well and truly fucked up. 
“get on your knees” he ordered you, which for some reason, took you by surprise. you gulped, hesitating for a moment before he told you for a second time. “don’t make me ask three times, princess”. 
you scrambled to the floor and placing yourself under the desk and in-between his legs. “what have i warned you about multiple times?” he asked, placing his finger on your chin, forcing you to look at his eyes. 
“n-not to be a brat” you stuttered, his gaze making you nervous. 
“that’s right” he hummed. “and what do you continue to do?” 
“b-be a brat”, you admitted. with deadline season around the corner you hadn’t been able to help your attitude lately. 
he nodded, appreciating your honesty. “now, i’m going to fuck that attitude right out of our mouth” he told you as he slowly lowered his jeans. “and you’re going to take it like the good girl i know you are. isn't that right?” 
you nodded frantically and bit your lip, scared you may end up saying something you shouldn’t. “remember princess, you gotta be quiet otherwise we’ll end up with an audience” he warned you. “but something tells me my pretty little slut would like that” he hummed, running his hands through your hair before grabbing it in order to control your head. you instantly felt the heat rise in-between your legs as you listened to his filthy words. 
you opened your mouth wide in anticipation for him, hoping it would work your way to his good side. he teased his member at the end of your mouth, knowing you probably wanted this more than he did. you felt his grip tighten on your hair as he pushed his way into your mouth with no warning. you battered your eyelashes up at him, hallowing your cheeks and trying to suppress your urges to gag. 
“you like being used like this, don’t you” he groaned in a low tone. your mouth felt insane around him, there was no way he was ever going to get used to this feeling. you hummed in response, sending vibrations down his member and earning another honey glazed moan from him. 
you tapped his leg and he pulled back, knowing that was your indication that you needed to breathe. you still hadn’t learnt to take him like this fully, his sheer size being too much for your petite mouth, but he loved the way your mouth looked so full as he thrusted in and out of it.
“god, look at you” he appreciated, “you're taking me so well after that bratty little outburst of yours” he groaned, his head rolling back in pleasure. 
although you could hardly ignore the pool of wetness that was growing in your underwear, you were aware chan would catch onto any slight movements you made to try and release yourself. right now, you had to focus on your breathing and making chan cum. 
although he was being careful not to be too rough with you, his pace picked up slightly as you drew him closer to the edge. you moaned around his member again, adoring the sight you saw above you. “fuck baby” he moaned, i'm gonna cum all over that tongue of yours”. 
you wiggled in excitement at his words. you adored the taste of him (considering he ate exceptionally well), but you adored the fact that you were the one that made him feel that good. 
his thrusts continued to pick up pace as you coughed slightly around him, but moments later he came undone all over your mouth. “hold it” he told you as he bent down to pick you up from the floor. he did this a lot, he liked to watch and make sure you swallow his cum - otherwise there’d be another punishment over his lap. 
you obeyed, waiting for his instructions. “okay, you can swallow”. you promptly swallowed his mess, opening your mouth wide to prove to him it had all gone. 
“that's my good girl” he cooed, pulling you onto his lap into a gentler manner. “what’s with the attitudes, huh?” he asked. now he punished you, it was time to make sure you were actually okay. 
“sorry, channie” you apologised, twiddling with your thumbs. “been really stressed. shouldn’t have taken it out on you” you admitted. 
“yeah, you shouldn’t have” he nodded, “but it’s okay. feel better now?” he asked, brushing your hair behind your ear. you nodded in response, your stress levels now significantly lower. “talk to me properly next time princess. i’ll help you” 
you agreed to approach him next time you felt like this, knowing it would be better for both of you. you placed a small kiss on his plump lips, hoping off his lap and sitting next to him - suddenly remembering someone could enter at any second. he giggled at you, considering you didn’t care if someone entered 5 minutes ago.  
“thanks chan” you smiled at him, picking up the pen in front of you, ready to give this project another go. 
“no problem princess. i like being your personal stress reliever”

Rehearsal (Peter Parker x Reader)
Summary: Peter and you have to rehearse a scene for your theatre class, which just so happens to have a kiss in it. (Gender neutral reader!)
Prompts: 1. “Why would you do this?” 22. “This is the part where you kiss me.”
Warnings: good old fashioned fluff
Note: Lol this one kinda got away from me. I used a random number generator to choose the prompts and only expected this to be like 800 words max but I ended up with over 2k so. but I really like what I ended up with so I hope y’all do too <3 mostly from Peter’s POV btw. oh and I tried to keep it gender neutral but it’s natural for me to write with a female reader so let me know if I accidentally left a few she’s/her’s in there.
Word Count: 2.1k
Masterlist
Peter Parker is a nerd. He’s good at science and math, which is why he’s attending Midtown School of Science and Technology. Despite the STEM focus the school has, there’s still a requirement for at least one art-related class in order to graduate. When Peter chose an entry level Theatre class, he hoped it would focus more on the study of famous plays than actually having to stand on a stage and act. Peter was very, very wrong. For the first assignment of the semester, students had to pair up and perform a short, dramatic piece. He had been paired with Y/N Y/L/N, who he had a minor crush on. Ok, major crush. After he and MJ broke up last year, he honestly didn’t think he’d find anyone else for a while. But then Y/N transferred to Midtown, and he was whipped right from the start. 
“Look man, you gotta use this opportunity to make a move!” Peter and Ned were walking down the hallway between classes, Ned trying to convince Peter again that this was a great chance to finally tell Y/N how he feels. “Just look up some cute scene for the two of you to perform! It’ll be like when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fell in love on set!”
“I’m pretty sure they broke up, Ned.”
“Whatever. The point stands.”
The pair approached their lockers, where you were waiting. You had a few papers in your hand, which held your attention until you noticed Peter in front of you.
“H-hey. What’s up?” Peter tried his best to contain his stutter, but couldn’t help it. Y/N just had that effect on him.
“Hey Pete, I, um, I found some potential scripts for us to use for our assignment. I thought you could look over them before we rehearse at mine on Friday? I like them all, so whichever you wanna go with is fine...although I did put a star next to my favorite piece.” You handed half of the papers you were holding to Peter, keeping copies of each script for yourself. Peter noticed that the copies you kept had already been highlighted and annotated, while his were straight from the printer. Except for the small star at the top of the first script in his stack. Before Peter could respond, the warning bell began to ring, signaling only a minute to get to your next class. “Just text me whichever one you want, and we can walk to my place after school tomorrow to rehearse.” You said this as you began to walk away, giving Peter and Ned a small wave before you turned around to race to your final class of the day. 
~~~
Instead of paying attention to his teacher’s lecture during Chemistry, Peter spent the 50 minute period reading through the scripts you had chosen. Peter already knew he wanted to perform the script you liked, but he was nervous. Your favorite scene happened to be the only one which called for a kiss, but he didn’t know if he had the guts to go for it. He could easily choose either of the other scenes and call it a day, but...well, was this your way of making a move? Had you intentionally chosen the script with a kiss to find out if Peter liked you? Did you like him? Or did you just choose that one because you genuinely thought it was the best option?
The bell rang, interrupting Peter’s thoughts and signaling the end of the school day. Hopefully a few hours of swinging through the streets of New York would be enough to distract Peter from thinking about you all night. For once, Peter was actually hoping New York criminals would keep him busy.
~~~
When Peter slipped through the window of his bedroom, his thoughts were unsurprisingly still revolving around you. Despite a somewhat busy night - two muggings, an almost-car crash, and one lost little girl now safely back with her mother - He still hadn’t been able to come to a decision. Half an hour ago you had texted Peter asking if he had chosen a script yet, and he still hadn’t responded. 
“Just go with the script they want, Pete. Even if Y/N doesn’t like you, at least you’ll get to kiss them.” He thought as he removed his skin-tight supersuit and changed into some sweats and a t-shirt. He grabbed his phone from the pocket of his backpack, and, after another minute or so of arguing with himself, finally began to type.
8:31 pm
Y/N:
hey pete, have you decided which script you wanna do yet?
9:06 pm
Peter:
Uh, yeah. I think the one you liked is the best.
9:08 pm
Y/N:
yesss, i was hoping you’d choose that one. i have great taste ;)
9:08 pm
Peter:
Haha, yeah, you do. We’ll rehearse tomorrow after school right?
9:10 pm
Y/N:
yup! i’ll meet you by your locker again :) see ya tomorrow pete
Peter decided to let the conversation end there. Honestly, he had no idea what to think. What does “I have great taste ;)” mean? Is that a reference to the kiss? Does this mean they like him? Or is it just a joke? Peter sent a screenshot of the conversation to Ned for help, but Ned being Ned wasn’t helpful at all. 
9:15 pm
Ned:
Just. Make. A. Move. 
9:16 pm
Ned:
Betty thinks you should make a move too.
Despite his confusion and nerves over tomorrow’s rehearsal, Peter managed to fall asleep at a reasonable time. Hopefully tomorrow he’d get the answers he was looking for.
~~~
Peter waited by his locker after the final bell rang. As the hallways began to clear, he noticed you making your way over to him.
“Sorry, I hope you weren’t waiting too long. My English class is basically all the way across the school.” You looked nervous. Is that good? Or bad? Have you been thinking about the kiss too?
“Y-you’re fine. I’ve only been here for like a minute.” That was a lie. Peter’s Chemistry class was just across the hall from his locker, but you didn’t need to know that. After he finished talking, you seemed to lose all sense of nerves.
“I guess it wasn’t me causing the nerves then…” Peter thought, his mood dropping a little.
“Oh good. Let’s get going then, my apartment is only a couple blocks from here.” And so you began the short walk to your place. You made some small talk on the way there, talking about your other classes instead of the one class you did share. 
“You have Mrs. Jenson third period right? I have her during fifth. Maybe we can study together for her tests...I know the school year just started, but I can already tell she’ll make her tests unnecessarily evil.” You said as the both of you entered your building. 
“That’s a good idea, I know someone who took her class last year and they said she always had essay questions. Not to mention 5 choices for multiple choice questions instead of the usual four.” Peter responded. As he spoke, they headed towards the elevator, and Y/N pressed the button, causing the doors to immediately open. After hitting the number 4 on the wall, the doors slowly began to close. Despite the unfortunate news he was sharing with Y/N, his voice had a hopeful tone to it; They want to hang out with him again. Sure, it’s just loose plans to study for a test sometime in the future, but hey, he’ll take it.
“Damn. History has never been my subject, so I’ll definitely need the extra study time. I can never remember all the important dates.” Your phone buzzed after that, causing you to glance down at it. As you responded to whoever had texted you, Peter was left to his thoughts when the elevator began to move. It wasn’t until the elevator doors opened and you stepped out that the conversation resumed. “That was my mom, guess she’s gonna be at work for a few more hours. We can order a pizza if you want, I’m not sure how long we’ll be rehearsing today.”
“Pizza, uhm,” Peter’s voice cracked, “Pizza sounds good.” Peter cursed to himself, but if you had noticed his voice cracking, you had the decency to ignore it. You pulled your keys from your backpack, and unlocked the second apartment on the floor. 
“Cool, I’ll order something online. Pepperoni ok for you?” You asked as you walked into the apartment, holding the door open for Peter. Peter only nodded, not really trusting his voice for the moment. He took a second to look around the place as you closed the door behind him. When you came into his eyesight again, you were looking at your phone, presumably ordering the pizza. “Since my mom isn’t here we can rehearse in the living room, it’s just this way.” Peter followed you as you led him across the apartment, then sat on the couch. He tried to give you space as you continued punching in the pizza order. While you were busy, Peter opened his own backpack and pulled out the script you had agreed upon. Last night he had highlighted his lines, although luckily for this assignment the teacher had mentioned that memorization was optional. After all, the school year had just begun and it was a beginner’s class.
“Ok, pizza will be here in like half an hour. Now we can get to work!” You quickly pulled out your own script from your backpack, and turned to face Peter. “Do you wanna just read through it a few times, then once we’re used to it we could start working out the blocking?” You suggested.
“Y-yeah, sure, that works for me.” Peter was relieved at this option; read throughs meant he didn’t have to worry about the kiss yet. “Your character starts, right?”
And so the two of you began reading through the script. It was short, only a few pages, and featured someone on the day of their wedding, and the man who was trying to convince them to leave their fiance. At first, the reading was a little awkward, as neither of you had any experience in acting, but by the third or fourth time you had gone through the script together, both of you were feeling much more comfortable. Instead of sitting away from each other on opposite ends of the couch, you were close, the way your characters would be. The blocking had even begun to take shape naturally, so you and Peter stood for the fifth reading, walking around the room, trying your best to embody the characters as they argued. This time, as you approached the end of the script however, Peter’s nerves returned.
“Why would you do this? Just barging in here on my wedding day?” You said, trying to act as frustrated and confused as you felt your character would be. 
“You and I both kn-know you don’t love him! You’ll never be happy with him!” Peter tried to keep his nerves in check, but he knew what was coming.
“And how do you know I’d be happier with you?” Following the stage directions indicated on your script, you stepped closer to Peter. Instead of continuing with the scene, Peter just stared at you, no longer looking at his script. “Uh, Pete?” He still didn’t respond. You were confused, until you looked back at the script. You weren’t sure how you had forgotten, after all, this is why you chose the scene in the first place. “Peter, this is the part where you kiss me” You said quietly. You had taken his choosing of this scene to mean he liked you too, but you weren’t sure. His eyes widened a little at your words though, which made your confidence drop. “O-or not, um, we could do a stage kiss, or you could just kiss my cheek, or we could just cut it complet-” Peter cut off your rambling by putting his hands on your cheek and bringing his lips to meet yours. You were shocked, but easily melted into the kiss. He was gentle as he kissed you, his nerves disappearing the second you kissed him back. After a while, you both separated from the kiss. Neither of you spoke for a minute, just staring at each other.
“U-um.. that was ok, right?” Peter whispered, as you were still pretty close to him. You only smiled, and gave him another short kiss as a response. Before you guys could do anything else, there was a knock at the door.
“Pizza!” Someone said loudly through the wood. Before you could make a move, Peter had grabbed his wallet and was already walking towards the front door.
“I’ll pay...after all, what kind of gentleman would I be if I let you pay on our first date?”

#4yrsago Felicia Day's "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)"
Tumblr media
Felicia Day's memoir You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) starts off as a cute, snarky story about how a quirky upbringing turned Day into a nerd superhero; by the end, it's become an illuminating, frank look at the commercial realities, injustices and insecurities that everyone trying to earn a living online must confront.
Felicia Day started out as a math prodigy and violin virtuoso, home-schooled by her oddball mother while they followed her Army doctor father around several postings in the American south. Socially awkward and isolated, Day became an avid gamer and an even more avid participant in online forums for gamers, finding camaraderie and comfort in the early years of the networked world.
After a very early graduation from UT Austin, Day left her family and moved to Los Angeles to find a career in movies or TV, and got stuck in the moderately compensated, soul-deadening world of commercials. When she started playing World of Warcraft to escape the tedium, she experienced a bout of clinical depression that had her stuck at home, playing WoW day and night while her personal and professional life disintegrated.
She overcame her depression and her problems with Warcraft by writing the pilot for The Guild, a super-low-budget, guerrilla web series about a young woman who shared her insecurities and her MMO addiction. The show was an early Youtube success and, when she couldn't find studio backing to continue the series on decent terms, became an early crowdfunding success, too, as gamers worldwide rallied to the show. Independence and success in a heretofore-unsuspected gamer market got The Guild sponsorships, first from Xbox and then from Youtube -- it eventually ran for six seasons.
Day was a success, but her personal life was a disaster. Although she was getting better roles -- you might know her work from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Supernatural -- she was also under so much stress that her hair was falling out, she was suffering from panic attacks, and her acid reflux went critical. Between the misogynist trolls that come with the package for women in public life (especially when it comes to gaming) and her difficulties with perfectionism and delegation, her business was on the verge of destroying her.
Throughout this story, Day's memoir is funny, lighthearted, and sarcastic, peppered with memes featuring embarrassing photos from her childhood and adolescence. But as we come to the chapters detailing the mistakes she made in her personal and business relationships, the telling takes on a brutally frank, confessional aspect. Day's unflinching look at the traps she fell into as a "success" are a welcome addition to the canon of "how I made it" stories, and a reminder that we live our own blooper reels and experience other people's highlight reels.
The final chapter is an essay about Gamergate and her experience with gendered harassment, including multiple doxxings and disgusting, violent sexualized threats, and what that's meant for Day's lifelong view of herself as a gamer. It's a must-read.
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) [Felicia Day/Touchstone]

Dec 4 Dancitron Movie Night - Power Rangers (2017)
According to Prowl, the blue ranger is the only important part of the movie.
Swoop 7:58 pm *toddles in, lets out a BIIIIIIIIG yawn and streeeeeeeeeeeeetches* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:59 pm *Soundwave waves while moving the seats. He's late today and he has several dozen scratches up both flats of one arm and its matching side. Only one of the twins is here. Do the math.* Swoop 8:00 pm Bird? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:00 pm [[In a while.]] Swoop 8:00 pm : < *lays SO SADLY in front of one of the sofas* *look how sad he is* *look* FakeProwl 8:02 pm *oh, lovely, Swoop is quiet today.* *greeting/permission ping, sits, slumps.* Swoop 8:03 pm Soundwave Soundwave ItsyBitsySpyers 8:03 pm [[What.]] Swoop 8:04 pm When Bird? : < Bevel 8:04 pm Hey! *trundles in and goes to sit down* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm *Soundwave pings Prowl hello, notes the slump - still not sleeping, his fault, light burn of guilt - and nudges a wordless sense of affection and concern his way.*
[[Greetings, Bevel. Later, Swoop.]] Swoop 8:05 pm Later wheeeeeeen? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:05 pm [[He does not know. When she feels like making an appearance.]] Swoop 8:06 pm You Soundwave tell Her Bird Me Swoop am here now. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:06 pm [[She knows.]] Swoop 8:06 pm You sure? : < ItsyBitsySpyers 8:07 pm [[He is speaking to her right now.]] Swoop 8:07 pm :V Bevel 8:07 pm Are you ok, Prowl? *they've had like two conversations this means they're friends or something* Swoop 8:07 pm Say HI Hi to BIRD FakeProwl 8:07 pm *leans on Soundwave and returns an affection ping.* FakeProwl 8:08 pm ... Why? *Prowl's friendship criteria are much more stringent.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:08 pm ((...i've never seen the video for this before wow))
*Leans in as well. If Prowl doesn't want to respond to the concern, he won't push it. But he'll still have it.* Tarantulas 8:09 pm (( i had no idea this existed, magical Swoop 8:09 pm *sad kicky feet* *pushes a chair over, clearly this chair is at fault and now it's dead* Bevel 8:10 pm *shrugs* You are all slouchy. Tarantulas 8:11 pm *tarantulas comes in and sees a sad swoop. hhh. hopefully he's sad enough that he won't see a giant spider mech skirting the edge of the room* FakeProwl 8:11 pm ... *sits up straighter and resumes leaning on Soundwave* Swoop 8:12 pm *totally sees the giant spider mech and sad rolls closer, limbs everywhere* Twincast 8:12 pm *slides in and settles somewhere unoccupied* Bevel 8:13 pm *she senses a brush off and that's ok* Tarantulas 8:14 pm ....Yes, Swoop? Swoop 8:15 pm Her Bird not here : < *yawns* Tarantulas 8:15 pm I'm so terribly sorry for you. Swoop 8:15 pm *grabby hands* Bevel 8:15 pm *waves to Tara* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:15 pm *Soundwave tries not to be amused by Tarantulas' response to that. He fails.* Bevel 8:15 pm There is a person in a fish tank. Magnum Ace 8:16 pm -pings Soundwave for a bridge- Tarantulas 8:16 pm *oh hey bevel, u get a wave back* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:16 pm *Bridge incoming. Same place as before.* Swoop 8:16 pm *grabby hands AT u spiderbot* Tarantulas 8:17 pm ...Soundwave, would it be against regulations if I got permission and suspended Swoop from the ceiling Swoop 8:17 pm : > ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm *Soundwave considers this.* Bevel 8:17 pm Is that against regulations? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:17 pm [[...Today, not if you have permission.]] FakeProwl 8:18 pm *tiredly watches Swoop and Tarantulas. He's prepared to have to fight a dinobot to protect Tarantulas.* Tarantulas 8:18 pm *alright Mr. Grabby Hands, u ready for this* Swoop 8:18 pm *ALWAYS* FakeProwl 8:18 pm *... he might fall asleep in the attempt but the attempt will be made.* Tarantulas 8:18 pm So, Swoop, does that sound amenable? Magnum Ace 8:18 pm -and he's coming through, as trying to find a seat when he can- Swoop 8:18 pm What? Specs 8:19 pm *the dragon rushes in with a batch of silver-mercury drops and a soft-looking hide bag around her neck* *she looks both frazzled and frizzy* FakeProwl 8:19 pm ((i already miss prince's joker aesthetic)) Tarantulas 8:19 pm You wanted UP, did you not? Swoop 8:19 pm YAH! Up. FakeProwl 8:20 pm You're just encouraging him, Tarantulas. Tarantulas 8:20 pm What ELSE am I supposed to do? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:20 pm *Rumble hops up to go help the dragon with the bag. Maybe to pick them up and carry them to a seat, if they want. They look almost as bad off as Prowl.* Magnum Ace 8:20 pm -he's getting good at climbing up to high places now- Swoop 8:20 pm : > ItsyBitsySpyers 8:20 pm *Soundwave nods to Ace. Welcome, Leaguer. He sees you're already figuring out how to get up the couches.* Bevel 8:20 pm Oh hey the dragon is back. FakeProwl 8:21 pm Persist in ignoring him, bridge him out when his efforts step out of line. Either he'll give up or we get to regularly bridge him out. Both are preferable to teaching him that he gets what he wants if he just whines long enough. Bevel 8:21 pm *she'll get up to help if there's a need for it* Swoop 8:21 pm *grabby haaaaaands* Magnum Ace 8:22 pm -he is, and he thinks it's a bit funny- Tarantulas 8:22 pm *a sigh as tara scoops swoop up anyhow and starts webbing him loosely to the ceiling, in a way that sw can tell he can get out if he wants. tarantulas isn't dumb enough to try and make it permanent* Specs 8:22 pm Oh! *the dragon takes the bag back* These are my snacks. I was repairing the kitchen, and forgot to eat. *she looks sufficiently embarrassed by this* *she's also definitely accepting being carried. please and thank. she's so tired.* Magnum Ace 8:22 pm -and going to free one hand to wave back at Soundwave- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm ((ok so let's see. another movie i watched like six months ago (next week's too) so we got... idk i remember some bullying, obviously there's violence, bad parenting, there's probably flashing because it's that kind of movie)) Twincast 8:22 pm ((noted Swoop 8:22 pm *wraps himself around tara like a koala and is totally fine with this unless Tara tries to stick shit around his back where his wings connect, if he does, there's a FLAIL in coming his way* Tarantulas 8:23 pm If both Swoop AND I can get what we want - and what I want is simply some peace and quiet - I'll try anything. FakeProwl 8:23 pm *sighs. turns back to the screen.* Magnum Ace 8:23 pm -and he's successfully made it onto a couch- Specs 8:23 pm *the dragon waves at Bevel* Back, and with a snack! *lazily waggles a wing in the direction of the mercury drops* And with some for me too. Swoop 8:24 pm No wings Tarantulas 8:24 pm *no flailing required, swoop. you're hoisted up and steady now, supported in whatever acrobatic pose you so choose. tarantulas has you all the way across the room from where prowl and sw are, which is where he's going now* Magnum Ace 8:25 pm . . . ItsyBitsySpyers 8:25 pm *Soundwave takes some small delight out of seeing Swoop so deftly handled without wasting his energon for once, curls one feeler around Prowl's shoulders, and pats the spot next to them with another.* Magnum Ace 8:25 pm -already not okay with this!- Twincast 8:25 pm *Oh, this is the new one--he hasn't seen this one. yet.* Swoop 8:25 pm *considering he's going to hold onto tara as long as he can, swoop's going to end up more or less in the same sitting position he was when he was being held* *wiggles his wings* Whirl 8:26 pm *pokes his head in* *drinking in this grim scene* Specs 8:26 pm *waves at whirl* Hi! Whirl 8:26 pm So... Shaka, well the walls fell, right? *bobs his head at the dragon and trots on; he will make his way to the usual table. Who awaits him there tonight?* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm [[Sokath, his eyes uncovered.]] Magnum Ace 8:27 pm ..... ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm *Rumble. Frenzy's... er. He had a bad day. Zori is slowly making his way across the ceiling toward the seat.* Swoop 8:27 pm ((EW)) Whirl 8:27 pm *snickers and bobs his head at Soundwave* Magnum Ace 8:28 pm -miiiight have sunk down on the couch- Specs 8:28 pm *the dragon makes a bit of a face* Well now I definitely lost my appetite. Bevel 8:28 pm *Bevel is also at the table* FakeProwl 8:28 pm Kailash, when it rises. Most likely. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm *Soundwave is oblivious.* Whirl 8:28 pm ((i love these opening shots)0 Ratchet 8:28 pm *pops in late with all the aplomb of a Ratchet who is late* Bevel 8:29 pm *so none?* Twincast 8:29 pm *waves* Ratchet 8:29 pm *FASHIONABLY, YOU NERD* *fashionably late* FakeProwl 8:29 pm *... small ratchet or big ratchet?* Whirl 8:29 pm *excellent. A good crowd; he will sit and offer a claw for Zori to ascend to the table* Swoop 8:29 pm *is suspended from the ceiling, ratchet, someone other that you finally attached an Ark troublemaker to the ceiling* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm *Soundwave huffs softly at Prowl. Both him AND Whirl making references tonight. It is a good start.* Ratchet 8:29 pm *smol Ratchet, and he has _never_ done anything like that* Swoop 8:29 pm *uses his wings to get swinging just enough for maximum sleepy baby relaxation* Whirl 8:30 pm *also shoots Prowl an amused look* FakeProwl 8:30 pm *nods at Ratchet. hello.* Whirl 8:30 pm ((HWHWHAAAT THE HELL i know that face. he's in ST2)) Ratchet 8:30 pm *nods back* Twincast 8:30 pm ((TY I thought I was imagining things) Bevel 8:30 pm *waves to Ratchet* Whirl 8:30 pm ((that's why he looked so familiar in ST...(( ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm *Zori wiggles, then drops down onto the claw. It's like being mobbed by a feather.* Tarantulas 8:31 pm *has sat down next to prowl and soundwave should it be permitted* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm *Of course it was permitted. He tapped the space next to them didn't he?* Ratchet 8:32 pm Heh. Kind of an Ironhide, isn't that one. Bevel 8:32 pm I like him. Ratchet 8:32 pm *waves back to Bevel and goes to sit with Whirl and Zori* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm #little Ratchet! FakeProwl 8:33 pm ((that's the pettiest thing i've ever seen in my life)) Bevel 8:33 pm *welcome to the table then, she'll wiggle her fingers at Zori in greeting* Ratchet 8:33 pm Hey, you're smaller than me, kiddo. *...... right?* *did Zori get small again* Whirl 8:34 pm *will also look over at Ratchet and, after a moment of surprise, bob his head* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:34 pm *He is. But his Ratchet is bigger.* Whirl 8:34 pm *it has been a dog's age* Swoop 8:34 pm ((dude they had to go print an 8x5 and she had to either sharpen those scissors so they'd be able to pin something in the wall or work out so she could embed dull metal into a wall)) ((girl doesn't do thing by halfs) FakeProwl 8:34 pm ((she's a cheerleader, i'm willing to bet that was raw muscle)) Swoop 8:35 pm ((maybe they need to recruit her. she has mad potential in the area of murder)) Specs 8:35 pm ((billy is relatable)) Whirl 8:35 pm ((most likely)) Heh. Heh heh. I like this Billy. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm ((one sec y'all my audio died)) FakeProwl 8:36 pm *... prowl likes the human with the pencils.* Swoop 8:36 pm *leans back as far as he can, this is actually pretty okay..... would be better with bird....* Ratchet 8:36 pm What'd he do? House arrest for what? Swoop 8:36 pm *sends her like ALL the emojis* *ever* Specs 8:36 pm *the dragon sneaks something out of the bag. crunch crunch.* Swoop 8:36 pm *mostly relevant but some that are just fun emojis* Whirl 8:36 pm Something involving a cow. Probably stole it. Grand Theft Bovine. Ratchet 8:36 pm *and gently boops Whirl, because* Heya, friendo. Been a while, huh. Specs 8:36 pm *around a full mouth* I don't see why bringing food in for your friends is a bad thing. Whirl 8:37 pm *nudges Ratchet back, probably with more force than he intended to* Sup? You been taking care of yourself? Magnum Ace 8:37 pm ...... Swoop 8:37 pm ((when is this set?)) Ratchet 8:37 pm Oh, sure, I'm alive, aren't I? FakeProwl 8:37 pm We didn't get the details. We saw him in a car chase with the police. Bevel 8:37 pm He did not turn in his friend who helped him either. Whirl 8:38 pm Darmok and Jalad! Ratchet 8:38 pm Ha. I like Billy. FakeProwl 8:39 pm *"can you stop touching me now?" oh, prowl REALLY likes this human.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm *Soundwave pings Tarantulas.*
(txt): Query: What fuel desired during movie night? FakeProwl 8:39 pm *he doesn't like being touched, he can memorize and calculate exact times?* ... What's "the spectrum"? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm *It has occurred to him that Tarantulas might want things that they don't normally keep on stock. He IS a spider.* [[...He does not know.]] FakeProwl 8:40 pm Hm. Swoop 8:40 pm *might actually fall asleep here* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm *SUDDEN BIRD* Specs 8:41 pm *the dragon gapes a grin* He doesn't get humor either? Not a bad human. Swoop 8:41 pm !!!! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm *Who is just as scratched and scraped up as Soundwave is.* Swoop 8:41 pm *wiggles* HI BIRD! Bevel 8:41 pm That sounded like a good song. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm {{meh meh screamy punk meh scratch Bird meh meh MEH hello Swoop}} FakeProwl 8:41 pm Well. If it comes with an extremely heightened memory but an inability to process humor, it sounds like a beneficial trade-off. Twincast 8:42 pm *wonders if diving into water at night is good for humans. prolly not* Swoop 8:42 pm You Bird fight Starscream? Magnum Ace 8:42 pm ....? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm {{No. Him Lord. Bird not fight.}} Tarantulas 8:42 pm @SW: ::None, hyeh. That is to say, I'm perfectly fine without.:: Swoop 8:42 pm You Bird win. Him suck at fighting kehehhhh. Coward!

Good stuff.* Specs 8:43 pm *the dragon shudders and eats a another cronch* Diving into the water is probably bad anyways.

Specs 8:45 pm *Whirl, would you like an epaulette now? because you're getting one.* Ratchet 8:45 pm Best way to trap a Decepticon. Whirl 8:45 pm *always welcome, little dragon* Tarantulas 8:45 pm @SW: ::Certain. Besides, it IS slightly awkward to refuel in public. Questions abound.:: Magnum Ace 8:46 pm Best way to almost die ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm //Dunno 'bout that. Killed Beachcomber, not us.// Ratchet 8:46 pm For about five minutes, anyway. Doesn't work too well on Autobots either though, so that's a bonus! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm @T: (txt): ...Point taken. Acknowledged. Magnum Ace 8:47 pm Restricted area.

Drink in hand, Whirl's going to return to his table and hunker over it like a horrid gargoyle, as per usual* Ratchet 8:55 pm Wrote your code myself, didn't I? I should know. Twincast 8:55 pm Yes, yes he did Bevel 8:55 pm Yes. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm [[Humans have lighter codes than he is accustomed to.]] Specs 8:56 pm *a horrid gargoyle with a fancy epaulette* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:56 pm *Oh, oh, if the dragon is a shoulder decoration, can Zori be too? He has lots of legs. They'll be the fringe.* FakeProwl 8:56 pm I think that says more about the other humans than about the enforcer. Whirl 8:57 pm *you are quite welcome to, Zori. Whirl will even help you up, if required* Magnum Ace 8:57 pm Are they supposed to be a team? Is this what is going on?

THEN
How would you describe yourself in high school? Rats nest hair, nerdy but trying to hide it, pretending to be much more athletic than I am.
Who were your best friends? Capitol Hill Kids and so many others, I wanted to be friends with everyone.
Who was your biggest Central crush? Jonathan Kretman, 100%.
What was your favorite after school activity? Playing soccer or going to Perri Carlson’s house and getting into trouble. Describe the dumbest thing you did in high school.   So many options to choose from. Adult me definitely looks down on my decision to repeatedly riding with friends who were less than sober. Or anything that happened in the studios. What was the most trouble you ever got in at school? In school suspension for forgetting a textbook. How often did you bribe Maria with food so she'd look the other way when you ditched? Never food, always fake notes from my parents. Who was your favorite teacher and why? The entire math department was great, because I was a closet nerd and love math. It's 2008, and you're in your room getting ready for school. Describe the outfit you pick out to wear in as much detail as possible.   American Eagle flare jeans and a neon t-shirt/tank top with pumas or adidas indoor soccer shoes or Uggs, depending on the season. What was your most embarrassing hallway moment? Honestly, no one moment stands out, but likely something involving the ’06 boys. What was the most memorable thing that happened during a school dance? The year they had homecoming in the cafeteria and people were laying down on the floor getting twerked on, while the administration walked around with spray bottles. Did you agree with the twerk ban? Why or why not? Absolutely not, twerking was a defining feature of Central dances. Did you go to prom? Who was your date? Andy O’Neill in ’07 and Neal Wehrwein in ’08. Both years were so fun! What were the top 3 songs on your iPod nano? Glamorous – Fergie, Behind Blue Eyes – Limb Bizkit, Mr Right – Mickey Avalon What was your favorite TV show? We didn’t have cable so I didn’t catch up on TV shows until college. Did you win any yearbook superlatives? Which ones? Were they accurate? Nope! If you could go back and relive one day of senior year, what would it be and why? Graduation and the senior lock in, because who wouldn’t want to be locked in the basement of a semi-prisonesque feeling building with 400+ of their classmates one last time? How did you imagine your life in 10 years would look? I figured I’d have my career sorted out, be married, and likely have kids.
NOW
What do you do for a living? I just started my first real job as a General Surgery resident at the University of Chicago Hospital! Where do you live? The south side of Chicago Describe your house/apartment/room in your mom's basement: I recently moved into a 2-bedroom condo on the South side of Chicago. Tell us about your family (married? kids? pets? unwanted alien babies?):   I live with my geriatric cat, Lyra, and intermittently see my wonderful boyfriend who, unfortunately, is living in New York at the moment. No kids, but lots of plants! Do you still hang out with any of your friends from high school? Absolutely! I love the Central crowd. How have you changed since high school? I am way less crazy, more boring, stopped hiding my inner nerd and stopped pretending to be athletic. My hair is also way better groomed these days. How are you the same? I still love a good throwback Fergie song, reading fantasy novels (yay Tamora Pierce) and am an advocate for twerking.   What do you miss the most about your Central days? Rolling out of bed 10 minutes before I had to step out the door and spending all day goofing around with my friends. What do you think your 18-year-old self would think about your life today? I think she would be impressed that I somehow became a doctor and also annoyed at how boring I am. What are the top 3 songs on your phone? Miguel, Beyonce, and my Latin Jams playlist What is your favorite binge-worthy show? I am a huge Orange Is The New Black fan, and now we have a whole new season to binge! What Central teacher do you wish you were currently friends with? Mrs. H from ceramics. Who from high school do you stalk the most on social media? Anyone who recently got married or had a baby. Who are you most excited to see at the reunion? I won’t be able to make it but I wish I could see everyone! I can’t wait until the next one. If you knew then what you know now, would you change anything you did in high school? I would probably have brushed my hair more frequently and been more confident in myself.

Felicia Day's "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)" #2yrsago
Tumblr media
Felicia Day's memoir You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) starts off as a cute, snarky story about how a quirky upbringing turned Day into a nerd superhero; by the end, it's become an illuminating, frank look at the commercial realities, injustices and insecurities that everyone trying to earn a living online must confront.
Felicia Day started out as a math prodigy and violin virtuoso, home-schooled by her oddball mother while they followed her Army doctor father around several postings in the American south. Socially awkward and isolated, Day became an avid gamer and an even more avid participant in online forums for gamers, finding camaraderie and comfort in the early years of the networked world.
After a very early graduation from UT Austin, Day left her family and moved to Los Angeles to find a career in movies or TV, and got stuck in the moderately compensated, soul-deadening world of commercials. When she started playing World of Warcraft to escape the tedium, she experienced a bout of clinical depression that had her stuck at home, playing WoW day and night while her personal and professional life disintegrated.
She overcame her depression and her problems with Warcraft by writing the pilot for The Guild, a super-low-budget, guerrilla web series about a young woman who shared her insecurities and her MMO addiction. The show was an early Youtube success and, when she couldn't find studio backing to continue the series on decent terms, became an early crowdfunding success, too, as gamers worldwide rallied to the show. Independence and success in a heretofore-unsuspected gamer market got The Guild sponsorships, first from Xbox and then from Youtube -- it eventually ran for six seasons.
Day was a success, but her personal life was a disaster. Although she was getting better roles -- you might know her work from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Supernatural -- she was also under so much stress that her hair was falling out, she was suffering from panic attacks, and her acid reflux went critical. Between the misogynist trolls that come with the package for women in public life (especially when it comes to gaming) and her difficulties with perfectionism and delegation, her business was on the verge of destroying her.
Throughout this story, Day's memoir is funny, lighthearted, and sarcastic, peppered with memes featuring embarrassing photos from her childhood and adolescence. But as we come to the chapters detailing the mistakes she made in her personal and business relationships, the telling takes on a brutally frank, confessional aspect. Day's unflinching look at the traps she fell into as a "success" are a welcome addition to the canon of "how I made it" stories, and a reminder that we live our own blooper reels and experience other people's highlight reels.
The final chapter is an essay about Gamergate and her experience with gendered harassment, including multiple doxxings and disgusting, violent sexualized threats, and what that's meant for Day's lifelong view of herself as a gamer. It's a must-read.
