warrior nun nacho libre au...

adding on to this, during a set after ava confesses she has feelings for bea, she does a slightly blasphemous set theme and starts with madonna's like a prayer and ends with belinda carlisle's heaven is a place on earth

i desperately want to write a college radio station warrior nun au, sort of like the subplot of pitch perfect 1. mary running the radio station and having ava and beatrice join as interns, ava making mixtapes for beatrice, who claims to be there because she just “wants to learn more about communications”. lilith being horrified by beatrice putting on what’s up by 4 non blondes while they carpool.

Pass the aux around the escape van and you get an amazing road trip playlist.

[final-cut-bro]

won’t be moving on from them anytime soon so i made a playlist

[final-cut-bro]

i wholeheartedly believe that ava listens to a lot of 90's and 2000's indie rock and alternative when she isn't listening to the poppiest pop music she can manage. like, yeah she thinks N*SYNC is god's greatest gift, but she also has the taste of a 2009 college radio station

edit: library au collection (<read more here!)

When Alexis first receives her timetable, she’s convinced someone at the scheduling office has made a mistake.

It just doesn’t seem possible that her 8am for Human Evolution and 6pm for Observational Astronomy are taught by the same person, unless this Silva just so happens to have specialties in two, wildly different niches.

But, as most small inconveniences are in the first week of freshman year, the typo is brushed aside until Monday actually rolls around, and Lex drags herself, her laptop, and an overpriced iced latte into the lecture hall.

Professor Silva—if this is, indeed, Professor Silva, and not the unwitting victim of the mistake on Alexis’ schedule—is already there, and seems to be in the middle of setting up her PowerPoint.

Lex takes a seat just as the screen lights up.

A respectable plain, white background, adorned neatly with the words:

Human Evolution (ANTH0001)

Dr Beatrice Silva

Gotcha, Lex thinks. This is the Silva class.

The professor herself is a stern-looking woman, all perfect posture and no-nonsense demeanour.

Thirty seconds after the clock strikes 8, she turns to address them.

“Good morning, everyone. My name is Beatrice, and I’ll be your lecturer for this semester. My office hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there’s a page for you to make appointments on the student portal. Emails will be responded to within 24 hours during the week, and within 48 on the weekends. There are no attendance requirements, but I do, unfortunately, have to administer penalties for assignments that are turned in late. Reach out to me early for extensions. Any questions?”

A hushed silence blankets the room.

“Excellent, let’s get started.”

The second slide is a screengrab from Night At The Museum, featuring the cowboy and the Roman gladiator, captioned in almost unreadable cursive text with ‘I ain’t quittin’ you.’

Dr Silva just sighs.

“On my wife’s insistence,” she says. “I find it…what’s the word that you use nowadays? Trite? No. Cringe?” A smatter of quiet laughter. Alexis muffles her own into her fist. “But the sentiment remains. If you have any trouble at all this semester, do not hesitate to approach me. Then she clicks to the next slide, which is a snapshot of their syllabus. “Alright, then. We’ll be starting with…”

/

Alexis commits the crime of sitting down on her bed between classes and accidentally falls asleep for three hours.

Her subsequent dash across campus to make it in time for her seminar is equal parts humbling, humiliating, and, as it turns out, unnecessary.

When she gets there, the room is full, but their professor is nowhere to be seen.

There are some whispers of, ‘If it’s been fifteen minutes…’ that are quickly cut off when the door slams open.

A woman rushes in, slightly disheveled and a little out of breath. Her hair—short and artfully messy—is styled in a cute half-up-half-down look, and her socks are mismatched.

“Sorry, everyone! Got a bit uh, caught up.” She drops her laptop onto the desk, where it clatters with a sound that makes Alexis wince. “Hello! It’s so great to see you all! I’m Ava, and I promise to have everyone’s names memorised by next week!”

A PowerPoint is hastily pulled up, and Alexis almost laughs when she sees the title slide.

A very crudely drawn approximation of their solar system, complete with a stick figure looking into a telescope in the bottom left. The words on the slide themselves are, inexplicably, in Comic Sans.

Observational Astronomy (PHYS0003)

Prof. Ava Silva

It takes a moment—Alexis, to be honest, is still maybe half asleep—but the puzzle pieces do click.

Maybe there hadn’t been a mistake on her schedule, after all.

My wife, Dr Silva had said. Perhaps this is her.

Professor Silva puts her hands on her hips, beams out at them, and her smile is so bright Lex would swear it could rival the sun.

“Alright! First things first, I don’t have office hours. I’m not in there a lot, so please email me if you want to chat! More than happy to meet elsewhere too, if that’s what you’d prefer! Also, no attendance requirements. Show up, or don’t! Just as long as you turn in your assignments. Though I do recommend showing up when we start getting into the observatory.” She points two fingerguns at them. “And lastly, I’m afraid late penalties are out of my control, but I really hate giving them out, so ask for extensions! They’re free!”

Lex is starting to think she’d made some very good choices for her freshman year subjects.

Professor Silva clicks to the next slide, and it’s a gif from Toy Story, featuring Buzz Lightyear saying, ‘To infinity, and beyond!’

Right, Alexis thinks. They’re definitely married.

rachel maddow’s mechanic: the annotations, pt 1

california: chvrches -  when we’re introduced to ava, her career is in shambles, she’s bordering on irredeemable, it’s really quite hard to see her as a  likable character. the ending of her deal-- especially why it ended-- seems trivial. this is ava’s intro, but also her core conflict. on the surface, it appears dramatic, just as ava seems to be self-centered, but past that, there is a sense of self-preservation. ava cannot face going home. her shame is not just skin deep. - Waste a month, waste a year Waste the time you could've been here Count the debt, count the tears Count the truths and all of my fears - szn 1 ep 1 primarily, but we also see this in ep 4 of season 1 when ava is on the phone with her mom.
