omgg i love ur writing broo it has my giggling, kicking my feet n shi and the fact that u also do fem black readers OMG I LOVE U anyways putting my appreciation aside, what abt nerdy freaky armin (if u havent already ofcc) like u cant tell me that man is FREAKYY (i ❤️ freaks)

˗ˏˋ꒰ 🍒 ꒱

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤

A/N: you are the cutest patoodiest 💗 mwa thank u sweetiepie! and ur absolutely right UR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! yk what they say it's alwaysss the quiet nerdy ones!! 🥰

Pairing: ARMIN Arlert x f.reader

Summary: Min's the nerdy valedictorian with a freaky side 🥰

Warnings; 🔞 mdni, SMUT, this isn't fully proofread 👀, sub.Armin/some light dom.Armin, stereotypes (nerd, popular girl), mean reader, dirty talk, public sex (library, during class), facial, handjob (reader giving), oral (reader giving), light humiliation/degradation, bondage (blindfolding, tying hands), mean names (freak, loser), creaming in his pants, hair pulling kink, slapping kink, begging, toys (vibrator), use me kink (or whatever it's called), lmk if i missed some i was in a freaky state of mind while writing lmfao

♪ spice up your life come and get a freak

Min is the quiet blond boy that sits next to you every chance he can get. He follows you like a puppy from class to class, trying his best to interest you — the pretty popular girl of his wet dreams — with every nerdy topic that comes to mind.

Yes he's blabbing your ear off about the importance of maths, but really he's thinking about what what color panties you wear. Do you prefer lace or plain? What's your favorite position? Do you prefer backshots? Missionary? Full Nelson? Mating press?

You wouldn't suspect the school's valedictorian to have such a nasty mind.

He just can't wait 'till you give him a taste. He knows you will 'cause he's been so good to you, always helping you study for tests and even taking notes for you when you're skipping class. He's been such a help.

The first time is his fantasy come true; you jerked him under the desk during a lecture. He shuddered n tried to focus on what the professor was saying, but how could he with your fingers wrapped so tightly around his pulsing cock? :( The poor boy came in his pants and enjoyed every second of it, even when he had to embarrassedly excuse himself after class to 'tend to an emergency'.

He loves when you make his glasses fog up from how hot his face is and how heavy he's breathing. He loves when you make them slide down the bridge of his pretty nose, mouth hanging open while you make out with his cock in the library.

That all started because he asked you "can you k-kiss my cock?"

Now he melts and falls apart, desperately muffling his moans by biting down on his thin textbook. When he's close he grabs a fistful of your hair n tugs your head back, pulling you off his cock with a sloppy pop — starting to jerk himself over your face.

"C-can I cum on your face?" he pants, already deciding that he would regardless of what you say. He had to see his milky white cum painting your face.

"Oh? You're a fucking freak," you giggle sweetly, sending a rush through his body, "Of course you can cum on my face."

He absolutely folds when you call him a freak. He lives for the moments you expose his kinks, too.

Of course he's into bondage, why wouldn't he be 🙄 he loves using a neat silk tie as a blindfold... on himself, not you. He squirms and whines and pleads, "Let me see you, please."

Don't forget to cuff him to your bed and milk him nicely!

If you wanna get him achingly hard and sensitive for you, you gotta degrade him :( call him a freak, call him pathetic, call him a loser, humiliate him for cumming in his pants, tell him he's your toy.

And if you wanna make him cum loads then you should consider indulging in his slapping kink — his hair pulling kink — everything. He just wants the popular girl to pull his hair while she rides his cock like a toy.

"Please please please use me — use my cock like your toy n' call me a loser again. Please! Mmm yes yes yes I'm pathetic for you, Y/n ~ " he has the cutest high pitched moans.

He also begs you to use your vibrating toys on his cock :( <3

Speaking of begging... he is always, always begging. Pawing at your skirt to get your attention, eyes pleading for you to sneak off with your favorite loser so you can squeeze in a quickie before class.

Poor nerdy Armin just wants you to fuck him 'till his glasses slip right off, 'till his cock hurts, 'till you wring him dry of all his cum — is that too much to ask for?

The Eighth Doctor has referred to Time Lord society as "bitchy" before. (Audio: Seasons of Fear)

Maximelos and the Three Ogrons was a children's fairy tale on Gallifrey that the First Doctor heard as a child before being initiated into the Academy. (Short Story: Nothing O'Clock)

Peri once turned the song "Wild Boys" up in order to drown out the Sixth Doctor's opera singing. (Short Story: A Star is Reborn)

Susan failed her maths exam because she had forgotten that Britain hadn't moved to the metric system yet (despite the fact that the First Doctor had tried to get her to remember at least that). (Short story: Extracts from the Doctor’s 500 Year Diary)

The Doctor had a bear when he was young but had to release it when it started eating all the furniture. (Audio: Cuddlesome)

Jo and Cliff Jones frequently work with David Attenborough (Short Story: Greyhound)

The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler got caught in 1914 Belgium in a battle between Germans and an alien Warfreekz. Rose stopped the war by singing "Angels" by Robbie Williams, which made all sides think she was the Angel of Death come to take their dead to Heaven. (Comic: Warfreekz!)

The Doctor's TARDIS has an entire snowy mountain range inside of it. (Audio: The Settling)

The console room of the Monk’s TARDIS has a comfy chair covered in comic books in it. (Audio: The Black Hole)

The Tenth Doctor recovered from his regeneration in part because of tea but also in part because he took energy from his Third incarnation, who was nearby. (Short story: The Christmas Inversion)

The Sixth Doctor continued to try to fix the TARDIS chameleon circuit after Attack of the Cybermen. This caused the outer shell to shift to all sorts of odd forms, such as Nelson's column, a giant strawberry, a train engine, a clock, a Christmas tree, a giant Radio Times, and more.

↳ series mlist

September 20th, 2025 - SOUTH PARK, COLORADO

“I’m telling you, nobody’s gonna care about what happened at that party in ten years,” Craig said, for what felt like the tenth time. The ravenette was so sick of this conversation that he opened and closed the weather app on his phone the whole time.

“But I will remember.” You stressed, tossing your math book into your locker. 

“You have to chill out, Christ.” Craig put his phone in his pocket, leaning against his locker. “I mean, you got drunk and said a lot of bullshit, so what? So does every drunk person on the planet.” 

“I also punched that guy at Circle K.” 

“Give me one drunk person that doesn’t get aggressive or do dumb shit? Have you seen Stan’s dad?” 

You deadpanned, “Please don’t compare me to Mr.Marsh.” 

Craig laughed as you closed your locker, “C’mon, he’s the reason we have Supercut.” 

“But when I reach for you, there's just a supercut.” You jokingly sang. Walking to your least favorite class. “Fuck, i’m gonna fail that test.” You said, staring at the teacher through the open door, who was writing down ‘TEST TODAY’ on the chalkboard. 

“Yikes, good luck.” Craig removed his arm from yours, going over to his class next door. 

“Fuck..” You muttered, groaning as you walked into the class. You sat at your desk, getting out your pencil, watching the teacher pass out the paper packet for the test. You sighed, seeing how much you had to do, four whole front and back pages. But even with this shitty test at the begining of the first quater, life could always be worse. 

After a long, cold hour and a half, you finally thanked the gods that the bell went off. Grabbing your stuff and test, tossing it into the complete bucket before walking to your locker. Opening it to toss your bag into it, you had lunch finally, which meant you had your first client for the day. Bebe had started a small side hustle for the girls to do back in freshman year, giving anyone who needed it, relationship advice, Love, and Sex. This wasn’t something you always did, but with Red going to be gone for the first half of the school year, you offered to help after years of Bebe asking you to join. 

At first, you declined because you didn’t know the first thing about love. Hell, you could barely say the word without gagging. But now it wasn’t as terrible, you still couldn’t mutter the L word, but most of the time the person would go on and on, so you didn’t have to say much other than some advice on what to do. The job paid well and was a piece of cake. 

Walking over to the girls' bathrooms by the football field, you spotted Annie Nelson with a random guy. He seemed visibly saddened, sobbing as he tried to help him before she said something, and he nodded, walking off and past you back to the school as Annie went into the bathroom. Huh..that was weird. 

You made your way into the bathroom, seeing Bebe pay Annie.

“Uh…Am I not working today?” You asked, closing the door behind you.

Bebe jumped in surprise before she smiled, “We’re changing plans. And before you get upset because you do. We’re moving you to sex topics.”  

Your eyes widened, “What? Why?”

“This is way more difficult than I thought it would be.” Bebe walked over to her make-up chart, wheeling it out into the open. “Your appointments have started diminishing, and that is absolutely nothing against you, but…Babe, you’re- um..” 

“Bad at this,” Annine added as she counted her payment. 

You scoffed, “How? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do this, I thought I was doing good. The couples I worked with are still together.”

“Jess dumped Jack.”

“Well he was a manwhore.”

“Chris and Vanessa are still fighting.”

“That one is not on me.”

Bebe sighed, walking over to you. “I’m saying this as a friend. You’ve never been in a relationship, so you can’t work relationships anymore.”

“Bebe..” 

Bebe looked over at Annie before she sighed, shaking her head. “Fine. You get one more chance. But-“ She paused, walking over to each girl’s money chart, you had never seen them before, but seeing just how much less money you made hurt your ego a bit. “You’re working both relationships and sex. And you’re going to beat Red’s score from last year.” 

“She has five thousand. I barely have..” You squinted your eyes to read the numbers.

“Three hundred and seventy-two dollars,” Annie answered for you.

“Thanks, Anne.”

“Well, you start as soon as you can.” Bebe tilted her head, “Clyde’s throwing a party this Friday, show up and find some people to bring into the club for help, and then we’ll start counting your appointments.”

There was a tense silence between everyone, those numbers lingering in your mind. Sure, you could turn this down and just accept this wasn’t cut out for you, but when did you, [Y/N] [L/N] ever back down from a challenge, especially beating Red of all people? 

“I’ll do it. I’ll beat Red and make six-thousand. I’ll be at the party.”

Bebe smiled, “Yay!” She clapped her hands together. “Okay, I’ll see you later for cheer practice.”

You walked out of the bathroom, kicking a rock out of frustration.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Oh my god, why did I agree to that?” You started saying to yourself as you paced, running a hand through your hair, “Just make six-thousand dollars, yeah, I can do that.” 

“Are you good?”

You looked up to see a random freshman trying to walk into the girls’ bathroom. You straightened yourself up, “Uh, yeah.” Quickly walking away from the kid and the bathroom. 

“And now I have to make 17 times more than I did last year.” 

“Why didn’t you just say no?” Craig said, as you two waited for Tweek to get out of his art class.

“I don’t know. I have something to prove, right?”

“No, no, you don’t. We live in America, just say no.”

“And I don’t even know how I’m going to seem credible enough for people to schedule with me.” You ignored what he said, messing with your backpack strap. “Bebe has a boyfriend, Wendy has a boyfriend, Annie is just very nice to talk to, I have nothing to base my advice on.”

“You don’t need a boyfriend to be credible. You just need to be honest with what you know.” Craig waved at Tweek, who was leaving his last class. “I don’t know why you feel obligated to do this.”

“I don’t know why either, but I’m gonna prove them wrong.” You smiled at him before walking down the hallway, blowing a kiss at him as a joke, only for Craig to flip you off. 

Now with a new pep in your step, you knew you had to do it. You were going to do it. Looking around the school as you walked to your cheer practice, you spotted different potential clients. A couple fighting there, a girl staring longingly at another girl, a boy trying to make a subtle move on his girl, your options were wide open and ready to be helped. As you made your way to the gym, you got tugged into the small equipment closet. 

“Hey!” You shrugged your arm away from the person before they turned the light on in the closet. “Stan?”

“I need to talk to you.”

You perked up, “Oh, did you want to book an appointment?” 

“Appointment? What? No. I need to talk to you about Wendy.”

“Did you guys break up again? That’s shitty if you did considering you guys took a big leap into your realtionship.”

“You know?”

“She tells me everything. I went with her to get the stuff from Walgreens.” You explained before throwing the topic out, “But what’s going on?”

“I didn’t get into the college she wants us to go to.”

“Oh shit. I’m sorry.”

Stan shook his head, “It’s fine. I wasn’t expecting to get in the first place. I just don’t know how to tell her.”

“You want me to ease the blow?”

“If you don’t mind…I know you’re close with her.”

You nodded, “Yeah, I don’t mind. I’ll do it. That’s what friends are for.”

“Sorry I haven’t come around much, been dealing with shit.”

“Don’t worry about it.” You dropped your backpack to hug him, “I’ll talk to Wendy.”

“Okay, just don’t do it yet. She was pretty excited that she got in, and I want her to have the week to celebrate.”

“Yeah, of course.”

The closet door opened, breaking the moment, and you quickly pulled away to see Craig and Tweek.

“What are you two doing? This is our makeout closet.” Tweek said, picking at the buttons on his button-up. “Oh my god, were you two here to make out? Aren’t you with Wendy?” The blonde teen freaked out, grabbing Craig’s arm.

“We were just talking.” You got out before Tweek had a panic attack.

“Yeah, talking about how she’s dating Kyle.”

“What!?”

Stan shrugged, nudging your shoulder to follow along. You stammered, “Yeah, we were.”

“You’re dating Kyle? Thought you hated him?” Craig said, blindsided but a little offended, You never told him, despite how close you were.

“It’s new.  We-we agreed we’d just keep pretending how we were until we were ready to tell everyone.” 

“And I was telling her that Kyle told me about it, and I’m happy for them,” Stan added. 

“Right…” Craig said before waving You and Stan away, “Now go, you’re cutting into our time together before detention.”

You quickly grabbed your bag and walked out, letting the couple close the door before you grabbed Stan’s arm.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”

“I panicked.”

“Panicked so hard you told them I was dating Kyle?” You scoffed, “They probably wouldn’t have just moved on if we told the truth.” 

“Telling the truth would sound even worse. Besides, this is the makeout closet.”  

“You dragged me in there!” You stressed.

“Look, we’ll just tell Kyle in case they say something.”

“Craig won’t.”

“What about Tweek?”

You paused before sighing, “Good point. Where’s Kyle?”

“Gym.”

You walked over to the double-doors, throwing one open, “You’re explaining this shit to him.”

The gym was filled with the cheerleaders and basketball players, the groups were separated on different sides of the gym. The cheerleaders were barely warming up, telling you you weren’t as late as you thought you were, and the basketball players had just taken their first break. Stan walked over to Kyle who was sitting on the bleachers, the redhead smiling at his friend. You see them exchange a few words before Stan waved you over, you didn’t miss how Kyle looked you up and down.

“I forgot you were a cheerleader.”

“I forgot you existed.”

“Guys.” Stan being the peacemaker stopped this small words, he looked at both of you. “So, um, Kyle…[Y/N] needs your help with something. I gotta go. Bye.”

“Stan!” You shouted back for him, “That asshole.”

Kyle crossed his arms. “So?”

“Stan told Craig and Tweek we were dating..”

“He what?”

“I know. I just wanted to warn you about-“ You glanced over at the girls, seeing Bebe and Annie talking, before you realized this was your shot. If you could make everyone think you pulled the one person that couldn’t stand you, that would boost your ratings. “about how everyone already knows. Tweek blurted it out.” 

“So, everyone?” Kyle looked around the gym, catching a few people looking in his general direction. 

“Yeah, so we should just leave it alone. Better yet, we can pretend?” 

Kyle scoffed at your sudden wordvomit, “Yeah, right. Goodbye, [Y/N].”

“Wait!” You grabbed his arm, “Please, please.”

“No, [Y/N].”

You backed up before you moved to stand in front of him, “Annie, Annie Nelson. I could get you a date with her.”

“I don’t- How did you-“

“Doesn’t matter. We’re running that club Bebe started, the dating advice stuff. Well, I could use my own credible source for dating.” You said, “Since Stan already said we were dating, I could use you to help get more appointments that way people will think my advice is something I use in my own life.” 

Kyle looked at you unimpressed, glancing over at the girl you brought up, the silence killing you.

“You said everyone already knows?”

You nodded, “Yeah.” 

“Fine. What the hell.” Kyle shrugged, “I’ll help.”

“Really?” You were genuinely shocked he agreed before you got serious, “Clyde’s throwing a party tomorrow night, i’ll send you the details.”

Kyle nodded, taking a sip of his water. “Right, now I think we’re both missing out on practice.”

“Yeah, fuck, um..Thanks, I really owe you one.” You waved bye to Kyle, rushing over to your girls.

This might just work out, you thought as Wendy scolded you for being late to practice.

Top 8 Nick x Charlie fics I’ve read (Jan 2025)

clueless (all the damn time) by thirteenick [T]

After a week and a lot of awkward attempts at starting conversation, Nick now knew a few things about said boy: his name was Charlie, he was 15, he played the drums (!!!), he was really, really smart, he was gay… And… He made Nick's heart stop, in a way that only the biggest of the crushes are capable of. But also, on the other hand… He barely even acknowledged Nick's existence. or Nick Nelson is hopelessly in love with his new form partner, Charlie Spring. The cool nerd drummer player makes his heart jump out of his chest and become incapable of starting conversation. Because there is no way Charlie could possibly like him back… Right?

gold rush by steelknuckles [G]

Charlie thinks Nick is pure gold. Nick, of course, also thinks Charlie is pure gold.

in the bleak midwinter by glaspen [T]

Nick thinks of his mum, and how she always tells him that kindness is brave. Nick’s been finding it so hard to be brave, recently. Prompt: alternate meeting au. nick and charlie meet in the park during christmas break right after charlie gets outed. nick is out with nellie and charlie is taking a walk and is clearly upset and nick notices him and goes to talk to him and tries to use nellie to cheer him up because for some reason, it pains him to see the boy so sad. Title from In the Bleak Midwinter by Wolf Alice

in your own made-up language by glaspen [E]

Nick and Charlie go to different universities and hit it off immediately when they meet at a party. What happens when their paths finally cross again, nearly a year later?

Lavender Fields by scienceisrealyo [E]

31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything. Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.

lifetimes by steelknuckles [G]

If Nick really thinks about it, Charlie reminds him of the best parts of his life. Even the ones that happened before they met.

the way you look… by kaalee [M]

Charlie wears eyeliner as part of a class assignment and Nick is not prepared for his feelings about Charlie Spring in eyeliner. Things ensue… EXCERPT: In case anyone doubts that Nick Nelson can do maths, 1 is actually the smallest whole number amount someone can be prepared to see Charlie Spring in eyeliner and a tight t-shirt without it actually being 0%.

Who Needs Luck by kingdomfaraway [G]

Charlie was about to leave when someone else came from the back, this time a tall guy, who looked like he walked straight out of Charlie’s favorite type of dreams. He was broad-shouldered, with arms that would rip a branch in half, with thighs that could squash a watermelon if put to the test. He had dark blonde hair and a scruff auburn beard that made Charlie think of places he’d like to experience beard burn at. He was, arguably, the most handsome man Charlie had ever laid eyes on. Which probably meant he was straight, or an arsehole, or married, maybe to Darcy even. The two of them started talking, not loud enough for Charlie to overhear, but after a second Darcy looked at him, followed by the guy. Charlie had to quickly look down but he was pretty sure he was just caught staring at the pair of them. He had such shit luck sometimes.

[bunnysnuff]

Teenagers.

Pairing: nick nelson x sister!reader.

Trigger warnings: sibling fights.

Request.

Nick was hunched over his laptop at the kitchen table, trying to make sense of his assignment. His mind was foggy, the due date creeping up, but there was something even more pressing. From the living room, the faint sound of thud followed by a string of muttered curses.

"Hey, you okay in there?" Nick called, not looking up from his screen.

"Fine," You snapped back. "Just... nothing's working."

Nick rolled his eyes. This was routine. His sister, 16 and as temperamental as a thunderstorm, had this knack for making the smallest problems seem like the end of the world.

"Do you need help with your homework again, or are you still trying to make that thing you call art?" he asked, his voice light but with a hint of concern.

He could hear your sigh dramatically, like you were about to launch into a full rant. "I told you, it’s a collage," you drawled, punctuating it with another frustrated sound. "And I’m not doing math right now, okay? It's just...ugh."

"Alright, alright." Nick finally looked up from his screen, rubbing his eyes. "But seriously, we’ve got like, one day until your next class, and you haven’t even finished your project yet. You really want to keep dragging this out?"

There was a long pause, and he could tell you were deliberating, probably trying to figure out how to dodge doing anything remotely productive.

"Can you just...leave me alone?" You shot back, voice sharp. "You’re not my parent, Nick."

He exhaled, massaging his temples. "Yeah, I know I’m not your parent. But I am the one stuck with you right now. So can we at least pretend you’re doing your part? Just a little bit?"

There was another beat of silence, then the sound of her slumping dramatically on the couch. "I don’t want to," you muttered. "It’s not like it even matters. I’ll get it done… eventually."

"You keep saying that," Nick replied, his voice a little softer now. "But eventually isn't cutting it, and you know it."

"Yeah, yeah," you muttered under your breath. "You're always so... on top of things."

That hit a little too close to home for Nick, and he couldn't help but smirk. "Yeah, because I’m actually trying to graduate, unlike some people I know."

"Whatever," You groaned, clearly trying to avoid his teasing. "I’ll get it done. Just... not right now. I’ll finish it when I feel like it."

Nick chuckled, shaking his head. "Alright, you do you. But don't expect me to bail you out if it all falls apart."

You didn’t answer, but he could tell you were already mentally tuning him out. It was always like this: a constant push and pull between doing whatever you wanted, and him trying to make sure you didn’t burn out. He just had to hope, like always, that you would pull yourself together before the deadline, even if that meant a few more epic meltdowns along the way.

"Okay, well," Nick sighed, turning back to his laptop. "Let me know if you need help with the art... Or anything else, I guess."

"Yeah, whatever," you mumbled, already getting lost in whatever chaotic mess she’d decided to focus on next.

Nick smiled to himself. It was frustrating, sure, but this weird, roommate-like bond they had was...something, at least. They’d figure it out.

Eventually.

Plant World

Yuri: Hello.

Ben: Hi. I’ve got a delivery here for Yuri Okamoto-Nelson.

Yuri: Yes, that’s me. This must be my order from Plant World. Excellent!

Ben: Yes. Japanese orchids.

Yuri: That’s right. Thank you.

Ben: They’re sensitive to temperature, so don’t leave them outside.

Yuri: Don’t worry. I’ll be unboxing them and hiding them from my husband… I mean, getting them settled in the sun room straight away.

Ben: I’m sure he’ll never notice them in there. Not until they start flowering, at least.

Yuri: That will give me time to think of an explanation.

Caroline: Yuri, did I hear somebody at the door? Oh… hey, Plant World! How’s it going?

Ben: Hey, Caroline! So, this is where you live? When I saw the name on the invoice, I had a hunch. I’m glad I was right.

Caroline: We just moved here before school started.

Ben: I live one street over.

Caroline: Cool! You know Mohammad Omar? He just lives around the corner from us. He walked with me to school yesterday.

Ben: So, I guess since we’re neighbours now, maybe I could, uh… walk you to school sometime too. Now that you and Forest are, uh… y’know…

Caroline: I’d like that.

Yuri: Excuse me. At which point did I stop being part of this conversation?

Caroline: Sorry. It’s just that I was kinda surprised to see one of my friends at the door.

Yuri: I thought I’d met all your friends.

Caroline: I have a lot of friends. Ben’s in my class, and we’re in botany club together. Oh, and in case you’re interested, his grandparents are the owners of Plant World.

Ben: Don’t forget to tell him we sit next to each other in advanced math. Caroline’s awesome at math.

Caroline: You’re pretty amazing at math yourself. The way you’re so relaxed when you solve for X…

Yuri: *clears throat*

Ben: I, uh… I should probably go. Other deliveries to make. Lots of work to do.

Caroline: Well, I’ll see you tomorrow when you come by to walk me to school, then.

Ben: We can talk about… Bonsai trees. Yeah. I’d like to, uh… bring one to the Harvest Dance.

Caroline: *giggling* I’m sure if you asked it nicely and gave it flowers—

Yuri: Excuse me—

Ben: Okay. Gotta go. I’ll see you tomorrow, Caroline.

Caroline: Bye, Ben. See you tomorrow. I’ll tell my Bonsai tree you want to invite it to the dance.

Ben: You can tell me what it says in the morning.

Yuri: Goodbye, Ben. Thank you for bringing my flowers.

Ben: With any luck, this won’t be the only time I’ll be bringing flowers to your house.

Yuri: You said you have other deliveries? To other customers’ houses?

Ben: Right! I’d better get on that.

Yuri: Indeed.

I reckon we just confused the fuck out of our math substitute.

(@ieatmacbooks and @1felldownthestairs)

We started the lesson with one of the girls in my class cutting off part of her hair.

We then had multiple concerning conversations. Some about existential crisis's and one about if in 1000 years we'd figure out how to make mpreg real life.

We then had a conversation about all going on a fun field trip to the psych ward together. a girl (same one who cut off her hair) started singing "we're all in this together"

Then two girls starting cutting up a pen and it exploded (Nick nelson core) they put some of the ink in that same girls hair again (she agreed it wasnt bullying)

Then @ieatmacbooks said how bad pen ink tastes. the same girl who cut her hair decided to take that as a challenge and drank some. her teeth were stained blue.

what you missed that day you were absent from fourth grade by Brad Aaron Modlin:

“Mrs. Nelson explained how to stand still and listen

to the wind, how to find meaning in pumping gas,

how peeling potatoes can be a form of prayer. She took

questions on how not to feel lost in the dark

After lunch she distributed worksheets

that covered ways to remember your grandfather’s

voice. Then the class discussed falling asleep

without feeling you had forgotten to do something else—

something important—and how to believe

the house you wake in is your home. This prompted

Mrs. Nelson to draw a chalkboard diagram detailing

how to chant the Psalms during cigarette breaks,

and how not to squirm for sound when your own thoughts

are all you hear; also, that you have enough.

The English lesson was that I am

is a complete sentence.

And just before the afternoon bell, she made the math equation

look easy. The one that proves that hundreds of questions,

and feeling cold, and all those nights spent looking

for whatever it was you lost, and one person

add up to something.”

i don’t know if its supposed to be my own poem or just any poem i like but this one is my favorite one and i also have a playlist dedicated to it

the song that immediately came to mind was this one because it also uses the idea of a classroom to talk about love & life:
