Fascinating Read.

[narwhalsarefalling]

I just read your theater group staging a fake car crash and then having a fake funeral for the people who fake died before prom and just wanted to say my high school did the same and reading it in your tags made me realize how fucked it was

a lot of things american schools do are kinda fucked

a full contact sport that encourages getting concussions in an academic setting

school shootings

expecting a ton of children who don't have jobs to pay for their own lunch

we all have to stand for the flag every morning. workplaces and universities don't do this. we also have to have a minute of silence that was SUPPOSED to originally be for the victims of 9/11 but its been more then 20 years and they havent taken it out yet. if you live in texas, you have to do the texas pledge of allegiance too.

homework. if you had a salary job and were only working for 40 hours a week but your boss asks you to take home work, you would fucking quit. kids don't have that option

Yea, he's still a little tired.

I haven't done any modern/academy AU stuff in a while, so here we go.

Hotaru is usually an early riser, but not so much when he stays at Ume's. (Real comfy bed)

my augmented reality community garden again - outside in the sunlight this time ☀

the idea for this one is to show how AR glasses could be used in future classrooms - with children exploring virtual gardens together and learning about plants via facts hidden in their roots. 🌻

shizuha's parents reveal!! I love them sm, they're always wanting to know more abt karma since shizuha rarely ever bring friends home except asano, and they really like him too💀💀

eiri is an accountant who has a hobby in baking, so every week they have new dessert somewhere in the fridge whenever she's free

daisuke is an elementary school math teacher,, he often does tutor classes at home as well so a few kids are acquainted with shizuha and ayaka, although shizuha is definitely more favoured since ayaka always seems to pick pointless fights w the kids instead TT

We walked through VERY tall grass to get to Lake Bishop, so that we could experience in reality that a lake was a body of water surrounded by land on all sides. That it was muddy and we could step into it and feel the already very cold water only added to the fun!

I just wanted to say that your face is IMMACULATE and that it deserves to be hugged.

my job as a sub teacher often makes me brainrot scenarios of ‘zuha interacting with kids/being a teacher …

like he’s so kind hearted by nature that i can just imagine him being super patient and gentle with children and naturally, all the kids love him. if they see him in the hallways they’ll instantly run up to give him a hug, wave or call out his name🥹

the kind of teacher who plays with with his students during recess or does activities ( especially arts & crafts ) alongside them. he very much has an emotional connection with the kids which is why so many love him! including the parents !!

I wanted to ask you a couple questions about the school structure for the Veil if you can talk about it. It seems like the academy and university are fairly closely linked but do they operate basically the same as our hs/uni do? Like picking a major/trade kind of thing. I think I saw that Audric was listed as a post grad but still a trainee so is there reaper uni classes then a sort of practicum afterwards? I hope this makes sense. I’ve tried to write this ask 5 times now

So, I spent some time rooting around my files, because a long while back I drew a map of the campus grounds for the spire...but now I can't find it, so i wonder if it's one of the unfortunate victims that got jumbled when I moved to my new machine. Ah well. But yes! They're quite literally linked, since that's why I even went looking for the file. The two campuses are side by side and share certain amenities.

so these are some super rough unfinished concept things from my files, but this ought to at least show the physical setup. There's a primary school within the spire as well. Somewhere in there. I haven't decided yet, not that it ultra matters, so let's just say it's somewhere in the middle. As for how they operate-- You got it already, more or less! The schools themselves are famous for their reaper program, having been founded by the same scholar who founded the organization itself. Of course, with Veil attuned students being one of the rarer attunements, the island's --uh, resources , to put it kindly, and the focused study needed to train those who would take on the veil's blight, the schools have a bounty of academic wealth to impart on hopeful magi graduates as well as those seeking to become eidolons. So there's several fields here that will gain a shining education in their field if they put in the hard work (... And, strangely enough, they have a pretty good classic lit department.) Using reapers as an example, the path would be as follows: Enrollment to secondary school and all basic curriculum classes as normal > attunement > undergrad prep courses for the reaper program if it's accepted (most do) > first stage of graduation undertakes the Eidolic Aperature (Uncap Ceremony, breaking the limits of magi's natural magic limit) > If successful, second stage will complete the full graduation ceremony and go on to university > training /studying intensifies, focusing more on study (the nature of liminal tears, wraith winds, corruptions, and the tools reapers operate) and choosing which field they will pursue in the program, while all are given a basic training course in specific magics and hunting techniques that ramps up until > completing the four year program, grad students engage in full trade training, working as the island's main service of hunters, scouts and sentries. Audric is currently in the final stage of this, hence the gossip quoting him as "Just a student, but practically the real deal." Primary school is fairly standard as can be, but it's a bit more fun to learn those classic subjects when you have the fun of enchanted textbooks and a kind, quirky siren for a teacher who plans fun aquatic fieldtrips. At least she tends to be everyone's favorite (She's also a grad level professor who works specifically with Aetherbiology majors and Reapers in their first years of university. She's one of Audric's favorite professors-- if not his top favorite.) Lichgate in general is something of an outlier for how its schools operate, though. It isn't exactly standard practice to smash them together at the very top of a spire, or to offer such an exacting focus from the moment of enrollment (on in some certain cases, attunement) until you've essentially gained your equivalent of a doctoral/masters. The location sitting right on the Veil's most unstable liminal tear is to thank for that-- and of course, even if you don't care as much about your education, it somehow manages to be the safest campus. As long as you follow the rules, obey curfew, don't wander off, and do exactly as your professors say during any off-spire excursions, especially.
