There’s so much to unpack here:

Pack of Beakers

Goth Beaker

The Beaker snitching and pointing out the photographer

The Beaker that’s about to unload on the photographer

The terminator strut before the ass whooping and you know he’s moving at speed because of the blur

The ominous feeling that you know this is 3 in the morning

The thing neurotypicals tend not to understand about the ADHD brain is that it really only has two gears

I turn to the chalkboard and carefully write out

If you think about it, there's a good chance that Ayda and Fabian could've crossed paths long before Sophomore Year. Since Fabian said that Bill had taken him to Leviathan several times before and would've undoubtedly met with Garthy, even in passing, I don't see why the two of them couldn't have been friends for the day or two.

A bored seven-year-old Fabian finding Ayda curled up underneath a table with her spell book because it's the only place in the Gold Gardens that's quiet enough for her.

The two of them introduce themselves with their full titles (Fabian Aramais Seacaster, son of Bill Seacaster and The Wizard, Ayda Aguefort, Mistress of the Compass Points Library) which both appreciate and agree that the practice should be more widespread.

Fabian being immediately on board to test out any and all of Ayda's known spells. Rushing up to somewhere high to test out Feather Fall, Jump, and Longstrider. Trying to see if they could stretch the 120 feet limit of Message any farther or make Sleep work on someone with Fey Ancestry. Fooling around with Prestidigitation and sending secret letters in Illusory Script.

Heading up to Compass Points to stargaze and test out their knowledge of constellations. Fabian proudly points out the formation that he's named after. Ayda proudly shows off her collection of books and gets Fabian to sign up for a library card though he can hardly read yet because all the letters won't stop moving. Which is okay because she will read to him as long as he'll listen.

He teaches her how to dance. She takes him flying. Fabian scraps his knee and with Cathilda nowhere around he's this close to crying and though Ayda has no healing spells, she brings him an orange and that's good enough. When night comes, they sing sea shanties to each other until they fall asleep on the other's shoulders.

They say goodbye like they've been friends for years instead of days and Fabian promises to write to her and that his Papa will bring him back soon. But Ayda doesn't see much of him until he's back in her library with a band of strange, young Solisians looking more haunted than she's ever seen him.

Just... Fabian and Ayda being like summer camp friends without the summer camp.

I know I’ve featured this scene on the Nazi Punch of the Day, but this version seemed particularly timely given the ongoing attacks on education.

[hermit-dragon]

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972

i hate when you google a word and some fucking company comes up instead. Do you think you are more important than the english dictionary you piece of shit corporation

i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling

bro your whimsy. you forgot your fucking whimsy. your solemn and somber attitude is scaring the hoes

i do think there should be more stories and shows and stuff about guys falling in love with butch women actually, i think that’d be a good thing. and not ‘this is as butch as twitter can handle’, i mean butch as can fucking be without apology, and making those boys weak in the knees about it. i think it’s great actually to have f/m romances that exist to break gender norms, too. i think it sucks that the only mainstream het romances that exist are either about women who are already feminine or with women who are just a little too scarily masculine and have to be fixed into being girlier. that’s shit.
