Write down ideas whenever they come to you!

Me in 2015:

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

Ted Logan x Smart!Reader Headcanons

Pairing: Ted Logan x Smart!Reader

Warnings: Language, tooth-rotting fluff, both reader and Ted are a lil insecure

Requested by Anon! I hope you like it <3

Thank you to @casuallyobssessed for proofreading <3

Requests are OPEN

It’s no secret that you are smart. Like, everyone-knows-you’ll-get-the-question-right-so-why-bother kind of smart. The kind of smart that meant that you didn’t get to play review games before tests because, even if it was you against the rest of the class, you would still win

Because of this, you were a hot commodity when it came to group projects

People would be praying that they would win the lottery of being your partner or in your group, some going as far as attempted bribery to get you to pick them

But you always picked Ted “Theodore” Logan, aka the class clown

Maybe it was because of his puppy eyes and fluffy hair. Maybe it was because he laughed at your nerdy jokes, just like how you laughed at his jokes about rock bands. Maybe it’s because you don’t treat him like he’s stupid (cough cough Mr. Logan cough cough)

Maybe it was because he talks to you like a normal person

You would go over to his house, or he would come to yours if he needed to get away from his dad. Mainly, you’d both just work on homework and listen to the cassettes that Ted would make for study sessions

It was nice, having someone who saw you as just you. Not as a nerd because of your interests and not as a good grade ticket because of your smarts

The thing is, though, both of you are fucking blind when it comes to seeing that you have crushes on each other

Blushing whenever you bump arms, doing that awkward little shuffle dance to get around each other

Ted doesn’t let you look in his notebook because his handwriting is “too messy, babe!”

He actually has a page filled with your name + his name in little hearts and doesn’t want you to see it

Bill knows about it, everyone in your class knows about, the whole school knows that you two are into each other

But both of you are oblivious

“She’s so not into me, dude!” Ted says, pouting as he picks at a slice of pizza. BIll has spent the last fifteen minutes trying to convince Ted that you like him just as much as he likes you.

“She so totally is, dude!” replies Bill, exasperated that his best friend is being this much of a dickhead about his crush. “She always picks you for class projects. Like, out of everyone, it’s always you!”

“Nah, that’s probably just because I don’t bug her about stuff.” Ted mutters, even as he feels his neck turn red. “She’s, like, so smart, Bill… And she knows all this cool stuff and there’s no way she’d be into me!”

Meanwhile, at your house

“Oh, come on!” Your friend says, slamming down her pencil in frustration. The topic of the Ted-situation had been brought up, cueing another rant from your friend. “He has such a major crush on you! I mean, have you seen how much he smiles around you?”

“He doesn’t!” You protest, pushing your thick glasses up your nose in a nervous tick. “He’s cool! He’s in a band! I’m just the nerdy girl who helps him with his homework. At best, he sees me as a friend.”

“How are you so smart but so stupid!?” Your friend sighs, holding her head in her hands.

Bill, after winning the impromptu food war, finally convinced Ted that he should ask you to Homecoming. His logic?

“It’s like prom, but less commitment!” He grins as he helps Ted draw a cheesy line from Star Wars on a poster. “Like, yeah, I think you're cute, but let's see where it goes.”

Ted, on the other hand, is losing his shit. The plan is to do his little Homecoming-proposal thing on Friday, right when school gets out

Your friend, yes, that one, gave Bill your schedule so Ted would know which door to stand by with the poster

All that's going through Ted’s mind is how you're going to reject him. You wouldn't even be mean about it, which would somehow hurt more. You would probably just smile and shake your head and he’d be left standing there with his heart crushed into a million tiny pieces-

His palms are sweaty as he holds the poster in a death grip, waiting for you to exit the school building. He’d managed to skip out of gym a few minutes early to set up

Students start to empty out, thankfully ignoring Ted as he waits for you. Nothing more embarrassing than having a crowd of his peers witness his romantic failures

You’re shepherded outside by your friend and you stop short when you see him

Ted, goofy, sweet, adorable Ted, is standing there with his face as red as a tomato and holding a poster that reads ”Why Join The Dark Side When You Can Join My Side At Hoco?”

The letters are a little crooked and the colors are a bit smudged, but the smile that breaks out on your face takes Ted's breath away

“You wanna go to Homecoming with me?” You ask softly, looking up at him. He shifts nervously from foot to foot, cheeks still burning as he looks anywhere but at you.

“Y-Yeah… I mean, as long as that's okay with you, babe!” Ted scrambles, not wanting to make it seem like he’s trying to force you into anything.

“That would be most excellent.” You grin, using his own charming vocabulary to answer. Feeling bold, you pry one of his hands off the poster and link your fingers with his. Ted blinks at your hands for a moment, looking in complete awe from the fact that you’re touching him.

Off to the side, Bill is motioning wildly for Ted to do something! Kiss you, hug you, just something!

Ted swallows nervously and nods before quickly leaning down. Once his face is level with yours, he leaves a soft peck on your cheek that makes your skin flush the same dark pink hue as his. You hide your face in his chest and Ted swears his heart is going faster than the guitar solo in Free Bird

A/N: oof can ya tell I was using some stuff from high school for that first part? where was Ted when I was in high school? would've picked him every time <3

The Demon's Bride

[thatgingernerdgirl]

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

Some days, I don't know how to explain my sexuality other than: It's the equivalent of the italicized Oh.

Oh?

Oh.

[thatgingernerdgirl]

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

[thatgingernerdgirl]

I don't know if it's my lack of ambition, but if I found out he left his family to be with me, I would totally be like: "That's so romantic! Let's enjoy our cozy life with *absolutely* no drama."
