ALSO I am learning how to teach very introverted students, something my natural skillset as a teacher does not help me with.
#one of my greatest tools in the toolkit of my teaching (imo) is that I am unpredictable#I will turn on a dime and I’ll share a thought from the depths of my soul or back of the pantry of my random opinions#that will make them laugh or hook them and they want to hear more#with a group of introverted students maybe they love to see it maybe they don’t but it doesn’t work for them to become engaged#they get so quiet and so still#and not in the good way that kind of happens but kind of just in the scared mouse kind of way#BUT. this past week I kind of had a breakthrough#I totally wasn’t planning on it but the moment was right so I talked to them about them being quiet and introverted (gently teasing them)!#and then I said ‘but do you like it when I just stand here and talk about the book’ and they were like ‘yeah! kind of the pressure is off’#and then I said ‘oh! that’s good to know. because when you’re quiet it makes me feel like you hate me’#(not realizing until I said it that that was the heart of the issue)#and they laughed in surprise (i didn’t say it in a way where I was putting that burden on them in a serious way)#and then I said ‘yeah last night I went home like ‘omg was that a stupid thing to say about Frank Churchill?? no one responded’#and then they kind of shriek-laughed at me and they were like noooooo#and then they said what if we gave you a thumbs up when you were done so you know we don’t hate you#and I said that would be great#and THEN a few days later I gave them an agenda for our discussion written out on the board#where I talked and they listened (I called it discussion with myself) and then they had questions to ponder and things to talk about#with each other. and a lot of time. and THEN I cold called them (they won’t volunteer)#but by that time they were so much more relaxed and they knew what we were doing#so they talked more! and it was so goooood#ALSO idk if it was them#or me who had changed but by the time I got to lecturing at them again#I could feel the quiet warmth that I could not before#(the absence of which is what makes speaking publicly instantly a torture to me l o l)#and it helped so much! like. they didn’t say much (some of them did the thumbs up)#but I had cleared the expectations for them and for me tbh and it helped. I was not waiting for a response from them so in fact I got more#of one. and best of all I could feel them feeling both the warmth and the power of Emma a little bit more#it is starting to click. anyway this is so much but y eah#I’ve been wrestling with this problem a l l year. cracking it in December lol

Shoot out to Great for having the audacity to counter his father. Vegas might be more badass than Great, but he can never confront Gun like Great did his father yeah? So Great won this round lol. Great : 1 Vegas : 0
And Great and Vegas have their crush leave them. At least Great didn't get punched to oblivion. Tyme is a boxer too like Pete (or at least trained a little).
I love how Great's character is a little unhinged (a spoiled brat? or he's just depressed? With med and all. Idk) but it's different kind of Vegas' kind of unhinged. Yeah Great and Vegas are assholes and I love Bible's interpretation of them.
For the next, will Great survive after he got shot? Vegas had survived after getting shot FOUR times. Come on Great, you only got shot ONCE! Be a dear and survive so you can make OnlyFans account together with Tyme! (Although I'm not even sure that Tyme will survive after he himself got shot.) God this series is depressing af.
On a side note, I am somehow glad that it was Tonkla who killed Great. Now it'll be funnier if Tyme's shooter is Tonkla too.

can't believe this hasn't been said before but unhinged!scarlett and unhinged!dave would be an iconic duo. shame pi didn't get a second season bc these two in an alliance would basically succeed in destroying the island, they'd wipe everyone out
the fact that they're both versions of the nerd character so they're already smart in their own ways, the fact that they have absolutely zero fucks to give anymore, their individual darker sides have come out (whether it was hidden consciously (scarlett) or unconsciously (dave)), and they've each attempted to kill/seriously injure one or more contestant(s) (and mess up the island in the process) just to reach their end goal. imagine if these two found a common goal somehow, literally nothing could get in their paths (except possibly each other)
#these two in an alliance that ends with one or both of them turning on the other would be wild#tbh i know ppl talk abt wishing roti getting a second season but the potential in a second season for pi?? there is so much!!#literally half the dynamics have changed and so have personalities for most of the characters in pi#max and scarlett's dynamic change and their shifts in characters#topher could easily shift from chris lover to chris hater. two extremes!!#he just wants to get chris fired or in pain or smth lmao#dave becoming more competitive and less romantic he turns more heartless (and a bit more reserved and unpredictable)#his heart is there its just v shrouded. and repressed memories dave of the finale!!#he knows smth big happened but the memories of exact details are fuzzy (when that mental curtain is ripped away its gonna be chaos)#amy and sammy's change in dynamics. sammy standing up for herself!!#i wanna say sky would join a second season to get a chance at the money (im a shawn winner truther)#but idk if after all that she'll want to lmao#but skave dynamic total shift if sky comes back!!!#dave doing anything to get her eliminated sky slowly starting to retaliate#it'd be interesting to explore ella and sugar's characters if they've changed or not#evil scarlett who doesnt hide it!!#jashawn ain’t gonna join i think lmao they deserve a nice break plus they split the million so#rodney who is still a romantic but starts to understand the truth of boundaries and the rose colored glasses start to break#(he gets a sexuality revelation when he crushes on one of the guys)#just imagine how wack things would have gone with a second season#the different interactions and alliances and friendships and enemies#and the interactions/dynamics in the first season def would have changed in a second one#this is making me remember the whole layout for a second pi season younger me wrote with new and old contestants#anyway! second season pi was so deserved it would have been wack#noahtally-famous#total drama#td dave#td scarlett#tdpi

I can't strop thinking about Spike chain-smoking and unironically listening to "Headphones On" by Addison Rae.
"You can't fix what has already been broken
You just have to surrender to the moment
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better "
He's vibing in the cemetery and if someone asks him what he's listening to he is definitely going to deflect and say Dead Kennedy's or something because he cannot let them know he's having his Pop Girly moment. Dawn comes by and asks and okay, fine he'll tell her, but she has to swear an oath of secrecy. Dawn totally does her classic little smirk at him. And he shrugs and says, "the girl's right. I do need a cigarette to make me feel better."

Fandom: Clinical Trial/Damned Rating: Teen and Up Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Angel has been at the institute for all of a day and a half, and has already been placed into the care of a therapist. Their therapist who is definitely going to be completely normal about them. Not weird, not obsessive, not creepily intense. It's too bad they already know that's not the case.
Absolutely my longest fic to date lol. Still in progress, updates Fridays for at least the next while haha

Using "cw: disability" is a little bit icky. It implies disabilities are something to hide/something to be ashamed of, even though I'm sure thats not your intention! Using the tag "disability" without the cw tag would be better, and still allow people to use the blacklist system if they want and keep your tagging system clean/organized. /gen /nm
I mean I've got cw tags for things like kids and aging, but fair enough. I'll remove all of the "cw"s. (I've never thought of a content warning being inherently negative, personally, but I'm not out to offend anyone, my bad).

I have a friend who I really like who's been responsible for organising a lot of the social things Ive done lately and most of the new people I've met but she's also the flakiest most unreliable person 😭

Mephiles the Dark is a cool name but Mephiles of the Darkness sounds like the evolved form he becomes after you level him up past lvl 66 in Chaos Emerald Pit after midnight while holding a moonstone.
