Vince x Rody Headcanon:

For their first date Rody took Vince roller skating, Vince was terrible at it and when Rody finally convinced Vince to allow him to help, they held hands the rest of the date

Bonus Christmas headcanon:

Rody mentioned he played the guitar but had to sell it because financial problems, so for Christmas Vince buys him one

Rody would give him the biggest hug

ARE SO PERFECT ACTUALLY

my fav is the guitar hc because i could see that

also i wholeheartedly believe whenever rody showed up to work in rollerskates vince would always be in awe bc rody seems to work 109% fine in then

You and @silence-between-seconds got tumblr married and you didn't invite me? How dareth thee

well it was a very rushed, chaotic and scandalous affair in our defense so we didn’t really invite anyone lmaoo

(we committed several atrocities including arson among other things and then hoarded lots of bread and danced in the moonlight and flipped everyone off for no reason what about it)

Sometimes writing is speeding wonderfully through the plot, prose, dialogue and scene setting and then getting stuck for half an hour on "he smirked"

"He was bold enough to sound amused, smirking at you."

"A smirk adorned his boldness"

"The smirk—"

"The soft smirk—"

LMAO anyway I had a really long busy day and I'm gonna rest and catch up with DMS and asks soon <3

One of the top comic bullshit bits

The thing about teaching kids reading and writing in school is, I do think more schools could stand to intersperse the classics with some modern YA/juve fic, because

Keeping kids interested is important to helping them learn. That's easier if they're engaged, and they will engage more readily with popular stories. There are plenty of good popular stories, just like there are shitty classics.

Compare and contrast is a GREAT way to introduce them to ideas like unreliable narrators, protagonists you're not necessarily intended to like, narrative styles, etc.

You have to teach someone HOW to read critically/with intent. it's not something most people just know how to do. And you can do that with any text; arguably, they'll take to it more readily if it's something they want to read. Then getting them to apply it to something they're less engrossed in as a learning exercise is less like getting blood from a stone.

You don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This doesn't have to be Divergent 'instead of' 1984. It's 'Divergent and 1984, tell me things that you feel they had in common and did not, explain how the explored themes of governmental control and how this damages society as a whole and individuals in particular'.

If the only books you're letting them read is a curated list from 30+ years ago, you have to expect pushback and shouldn't be shocked when they're like 'why can't I examine [popular series actually aimed at them here] instead'.

I truly have no idea how the ari and dante film will play to you if you haven’t read the book but for ME as someone who loved it dearly as a teen the movie is like a letter from an old friend 💗 it’s very special to be able to reconnect with something previously important to you that makes you thankful for everything you have experienced since that point and I feel like aitch alberto created a faithful adaptation best appreciated by the people familiar with this story

Who needs a man when you have hot chocolate shots to keep you warm? (It’s me. I need a man)

very silly question for all my Super Dark Times friends, but do you think Zach is more Pisces or Cancer (or other)
