Wei Wuxian Modern AU Idea

Ok, ok, ok. So I was at fencing today, and today was an enrichment day, where we learned how to rewire foil swords and dismantle body cords, and I had an idea:

Fencing Armorer Wei Wuxian.

Hear me out here: He's a brilliant swordsman, but even better at creating and using talismans and cultivation devices in canon. So I figured the modern equivalent of that would be an armorer for fencing! Because, as I learned today, fencing equipment is complicated and requires diligence and focus and a certain level of mad-scientist energy, which we all know our favorite protagonist has in buckets.

This could also easily be paired with something like Wei Wuxian injuring himself on purpose so Jiang Cheng can have the spotlight as Madam Yu demands, and finding a love for repairing equipment and teaching youth the basics! Ooh, this could also be a cute au with the juniors taking Wei Wuxian's fencing class and plot things happening!

Idk, I just thought he would absolutely love taking the equipment apart and putting it back together. Bonus! Testing the equipment for brokenness involves complicated-looking devices, I'm sure he would love making simpler and easier versions of for the juniors!

#I had a lot of fun taking apart the body cords myself #one thing I'm always sad to see not get included in fencing au fics is the technical aspect of it #as my fencing instructor told me today: every fencer should at least know how to repair a body cord #and I never see any of the characters even mention things like that #I also don't read a whole lot of fencing fics so maybe I haven't found the right one #idk #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #mdzs au #wei wuxian #fencing au #lyngracetalks

"Oh so when James Kirk refuses to believe in no-win scenarios it's 'changing the conditions of the test' and 'commendable original thinking,' but when I, Bradward Boimler, can't accept the possibility of failure and retake the Kobiyashi Maru sixteen times–"

#lower decks #star trek lower decks #brad boimler #in my headcanon his first performance wasn't *great* but he did technically pass #but by refusing to accept that he hadn't beat the test and insisting on retaking it he turned his pass into a fail #and he *kept* retaking it until the instructor point-blank told him that there was no way to beat the program #And that the whole point was to experience personal failure #And *even then* Boims was like “so you mean by failing I actually HAVEN'T failed at all!”#“No that's not– ugh you know what sure. Gold star kid. Just get out of my office." ”Did I get an A+?“ ”OUT!“#Completely missed the point of the exam and they basically pity-passed him after the seventeenth try #Mariner on the other hand already knew what the point of the test was ahead of time #(She didn't cheat she was still a goody-two-shoes at this point) (An older classmate or friend happened to mention it around her)#But she *did* think it was a bullshit test and just pretended to be humbled and accept defeat in order to get a good grade #She doesn't believe in no-win scenarios either #It's part of what makes them a good team

needing to yap but having no friends to yap to because they’re busy is just like. okay. I’ll rant in my notes app (the modern day equivalent of getting so bored you talk to a wall) while I wait for them to come back from war (their jobs or outings or whatever the fuck)

#mikey talks #yes I technically am at work rn but we are having break time because the instructors like us apparently

its not even 11:30 on the first day of school and i'm done for the day. is this why morning people are like that?

#granted. technically the only class i had today was canceled. i only met with the instructor cuz of my disability stuff #and that was more just both of us making sure we're on the same page re: the attendance requirements #(i'm ok to miss as long as i email her asap. if i miss too much she'll check in with my advisor. that's scary so i'll be good about emails)#i technically have access to the homework for this week but we're going over how to use the programs in lab tomorrow so i don't wanna yet #the other class i've got online access to the prof said we're gonna go over things tomorrow in class #and i don't have access to anything else until the rest of them open up their canvas pages #so there really isn't that much i can do yet anyway #but its still very odd. first day of school and i'm done before lunch

Tumblr kind of sucks for asks like this but im looking for good resources on teaching HEMA fundamentals to absolute beginners. I’m taking over the fundamentals course for one of the schools I attend and would like to not be flailing wildly. YouTube, essays, whatever, is fine.

#hema #my school’s instructor for the fundamentals/intro group is leaving us in a few months #and they asked if anyone was willing to take over #and i think im good at teaching technical concepts #and like doing it #and i think its a good way to get better on my own right #But I’ve been doing hema for like maybe 10 months #and sparring for all of 5 #which like #its hema #so thats okay #and ive got a decent martial arts background #but im still learning the fundamentals myself lol #my first round of classes is going to be shadowing the current instructor so ill get a chance to find what im lacking

wow

I sure do love signing into a class and getting a video from my instructor aggressively insinuating that myself and my classmates are idiots because he was using a very specific definition of the word teamwork, that was not ever in the book we're reading from, for our last assignment. So far the course has been us independently reading parts of the book, uploading our presentations that are based on a bare-bones rubric then the instructor boomer yelling at us in a video about how we're idiots for not understanding the exact and unspecified definitions he has for things (oh and it all has the underlying flavor of that kids these days need to be more independent and to stop being 'soft' ignoring that this course is supposed to be teaching us things rather than confirming that we know things)

#he reminds me of my dad (derogatory)#it really feels like he sets us up with an assignment knowing that we're going to fail it in some way and instead of doing anything to #keep us from failing or to help guide us around those spots he is waiting gleefully in the wings to call us stupid #this last one was how he doesn't do group projects because there will be slackers and he went about it in the worse kind of way #instead of focusing on how no group projects means that everyone can individually earn their grade he went for the angle of it's to #punish slackers #so yeah #very much a course I don't want to repeat especially if this is the only instructor for it #school stuff #and yeah I might be a bit sensitive to being called stupid (see my first tag for a clue) but fuck man this is borderline not professional #the underlying message that I'm receiving from it is 100% not but the way he's saying it skirts on the professional side technically #looking forward to writing up the course evaluation for this one but he'll probably take the negative reviews as a badge of honor #he's got the same feel as a teacher who is proud a bunch of students fail their class #because that means the content of the course is difficult or whatever

My accounting instructor is the only no-bullshit instructor I've ever had, is this just an accounting thing where they don't want any extra nonsense unless there's a good reason for it because i love it

we have a discussion board assignment and the directions say: "don't feel the need to post a new thread, if someone else brought up the topic just respond to them" and we'll still earn the points

#wow amazing thank you accounting prof #i dont know if community college instructors are technically professors but i dont care lol

WHAT possessed me to take a foreign language being instructed in a language im not completely fluent in. WHO let me do that. im gonna make it work or explode trying but my GOD

#languages #im taking nahuatl being instructed completely in spanish #IM ONLY LIKE 85% FLUENT #which is like. mostly but things do slip through the cracks #though to be fair #didn’t help that there were technical difficulties as this is over zoom and it’s en made #so there were people in the room talking on our end that the instructor couldn’t hear because we muted ourselves #so they were talking at the same time #they didn’t even solve the technical problem they just got in the way #it’s not their fault but like. guys. my dudes #anyway I learned one word #and like half of six words #this is gonna to force me to better my Spanish #it’s sink or swim rn boys

fml there's a meeting for my editing class tomorrow and i've done maybe 1/10 of the material bc i'm supposed to be doing it during work hours and [screaming with mouth closed] however i'm still showing up and i have been advised that this will "build character" by counteracting my dweeb tendencies throughout my formal education

#text tag #technically i have until may to finish it but it's cringe that i have an opportunity to get further information from the instructor and #won't be doing that
