SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF HERE SOMEONE IN MY ECON CLASS JUST ATE ONE OF THE CLASS TADPOLES

[catsushinyakajima]

I’m sitting by a trash can at the bus stop waiting for the bus for the past TWENTY minutes and I am also late to class (my own fault for going to the gym instead of heading to class early :/) SO ANYWAYS-

Voltron headcanons (realistic and college AU, also inspired by my own college misery):

- they’re all stem nerds. All of them. I know a lot of people HC them as liberal arts major which is great! but they are canonically astronauts (one part of canon that I like)

- Lance would be the kind of guy to be like “WE GOTTA HIT THE GYM EVERYDAY THIS SEMESTER RAHHHH” and then dip the second midterms start. Every single semester. Without fail.

- Keith found lectures useless since he could just “read the textbook”. He never showed up to a single class except for exams and somehow passed. He only stopped the habit when multiple friends scolded him for it.

- Coran would be in twenty different clubs. Correction: he would be PRESIDENT of twenty different clubs. No one knows when he joined them. The clubs range from archery to competitive coding to mental health awareness. (“Hey Coran are u free tonight?” “No sorry, the Roleplaying Ancient Romans club is having a bake sale tonight” “the what-)

- hunk would do a LOT of volunteering. He’s probably cook for shelters but I can also see him tutoring underprivileged kids in engineering :)

- Pidge would have a surprising amount of school spirit. Not bc she likes the college or the sport. She just wants to hate on the other teams. Also if her tuition is going to the football coach’s salary, she might as well be passionate about it.

- Allura is a triple major. Maybe even a quadruple major?? She’s the girl you see constantly stressing about their schedule. “Okay so should I take this class…that makes me have eight classes total all back to back” “WHAT” “what if I did a minor in psychology?” “Allura how tf are you going to fit that in there”

- Shiro is a TA (teaching assistant) for calculus or physics or something. Because the world hates him it’s an eight am class where the professor teaches wrong content and then dumps twenty hours of grading on him. “So you find the derivative under the curve” “Professor that’s not-“ You will never see him without a coffee.

- Hunk has beef with the Dining halls. They don’t season their food and they don’t even have much to begin with. On the other hand, Lance practically lives there. He’s making the most of the meal plans he paid for.

- At least he sticks to tastier things. Keith, who also practically lives at the dining hall, will eat salt and pepper chicken four times a day (“it’s protein”)

- it’s how Keith and Lance have had most of their meals together. Notably, also alone.

- aside from living at the dining hall, Keith also lives at the gym. This explains why he’s never at class.

- pidge has a car on campus. It’s Matt’s car or whatever. Not only can she not park for her life, she also can’t stop getting parking tickets. She uses the tickets as wall decor for her dorm.

- Lance skateboards. He’s pretty good at it. He’s only fallen twice, and both times had been in extremely public settings. Once was in front of a bus stop with fifty people. He tried teaching Coran how to skate and Coran accidentally slipped and launched the board towards the main road.

- Pidge plays clash royale in class. Shiro roasts her for it but then secretly also plays word games in class

- on top of having four majors, Allura also has four internships??? Everytime she posts about something that seems relaxing, it’s misleading. She’ll post herself getting drinks and SIKE it’s a networking event. She’ll be going hiking SIKE it’s a colleague bonding trip. Girl cannot take a break.

- Keith hates frats. Even educational ones with job opportunities. Even if he knows all frat boys aren’t shitty, he refuses to budge on his stance

- Shiro is the kind of guy you’d be talking to and ten people come up to him to say hi. Everyone knows him. Even if he doesn’t know them.

Since the show codename kids next door is canonically set around the 2000’s…do y’all think that their world was affected during the 2008 financial crisis?

Can you imagine being a villain called Jerome the Gnome. Your villain origin story comes to be when your wife Linda has once again nagged you about your Gnome landscaping business that’s on the brink of bankruptcy and your bratty kid walks up to you, while your up in arms with bills and complaint letters from parents talking about how your beautiful lawn gnomes are coming to life and forcing their kid to do yard work, and asks for a pillow pet rainbow monkey. It’s a pillow and it’s a pet rainbow monkey, your kid cries. You lose it and you yell won’t even have a house for a goddamn pillow pet, Candace! So now your kid is crying and your wife is bemoaning about how her old British college buddy Lawrence would NEVER do that to her. But you’ll show them…you’ll show them all once you unleash your secret project…Gnome Dome! A dome that encloses front yards and forces those snot nose brats to do most of the brunt yard work so you don’t have to hire anyone anymore and parents would have no choice to buy your gnomes lest their kid get wood chipped by seven gnomes stacked on top of each other.

Your first target? A house with a big ass treehouse. So you go in there and you’re just shocked with what you see…You’ve been living in a fixer upper of a bungalow at risk of repossession from the bank and these kids are living in a whole ass five bedroom and a den? TAX FREE?! A screaming bald kid resembling an IRS agent jumps you with a wood plank in a gun followed by his cool buddy speaking in third person. When you catch your breath you ask “Hey…what’s the rent in this place?” and a kid with a helicopter helmet says “We accept credit and crash and all your bones in a …CAST!” As he proceeds to spin you around before throwing a pie in your face “Ohhh I got another one! Like the pie in your face…we’re living…rent-free!”. Surely your own joke of a life can’t be as bad as the jokes you’re hearing, right? WRONG! You get shot with a Teddy bear bullet by a demon in a green sweater. “My Financially Savvy Rainbow Monnkey says that job security is important and always check on that credit score.” Your gnomes are falling apart around you just like how your marriage with Linda is going to be after she finds out you dipped your toes into the emergency fund for this project. As you rue the day you majored in ceramics and dabbled in shady day trading, some Australian kid with a fuckass bowl cut pulls THIS out

ROMANCE AUS #7

Sorry for shouting. Please and thank you.

7. made out while in costume at a halloween party (lando's outfit for reference)

“This is ridiculous,” Lando hisses, uncomfortably pulling at the pink ruffly collar around his neck as he makes his way into the kitchen. It’s already fairly packed, mostly because Lando had tried to stall actually arriving at this party for as long as possible. “I look like a fucking idiot.”

“I think you look….” Alex appraises him, looking at Lando’s ‘sexy Princess Peach’ costume with a shit eating grin. “Well. Like a princess.” Lando glares at him and makes his way over to where the booze is set up, pouring himself a hefty shot of tequila and knocking it back immediately with a wince.  

“Really putting the peach in Princess Peach with those hotpants,” George agrees, entering the kitchen and patting Lando on the shoulder as he passes him on the way to the fridge. He’s dressed as some kind of Greek god, and Lando’s 99% sure he only picked it because it was an excuse not to wear a shirt.

“I hate both of you and I’m unfriending you on Facebook the second, I get home,” Lando grumbles, adjusting the stupid tiara on his head and pouring another shot of tequila.

Alex laughs. “A bet’s a bet, mate. And you lost.”

“Yeah, my fucking dignity,” Lando says, pulling at the back of the hot pants in the hopes it will at least cover some of his ass. He’s never making another bet with George and Alex again. “Anyway, at least I am wearing something original instead of, what,” he gestures at Alex’s outfit. “A cowboy?”

“Ken!” Alex says, completely unbothered, doing a little spin.

Lando snorts, rolls his eyes. “Right. And who’s your Barbie, then?”

Charles chooses that exact moment to swan into the kitchen in a bright pink cowboy suit complete with sparkly cowboy hat and white cowboy boots. “Lads! Are you ready to get wasted?!”

“Of course,” Lando says. “Why did I even ask?” And knocks back another shot of tequila.

--

It gets better, after a while. He’s starting to get considerably more drunk which makes him feel considerably more comfortable about looking like a very scarcely clad Princess Peach, and he’s starting to have actual fun.

So of course, that’s the exact moment George decides to ruin everything again. “Lads,” he says. “I have fantastic news. I have spotted… A Mario.”

Alex and Charles holler like George had just told them they’d won a million bucks each. Lando frowns. “So?” He asks, regretting it immediately when he’s suddenly faced with three absolutely shit eating grins. “Oh, fuck no,” he says, suddenly realizing what they’re hinting at. “Absolutely not.”

“Come on, Lando, you have to,” Charles says, putting on his big stupid pleading puppy dog eyes. Lando hates him. “It’s Mario,” he adds, like that somehow explains everything.

“Yeah, what is Mario without his Peach,” Alex agrees, not even trying to hide the smirk on his face.

“I am not making out with some random dude dressed up as Mario just because you guys seem to think that people in matching costumes need to make out!” Lando exclaims. “Actually, by that logic, why aren’t you two making out,” Lando says, gesturing between Charles and Alex.

Alex shrugs. “We already did.”

“When you were trying to create, what was it? ‘The world’s funkiest cocktail’ in the kitchen,” Charles adds.

“I can attest. I watched them do it, it was hot,” George says, and takes an obnoxious sip of ‘the world’s funkiest cocktail’ through his straw. “This is very funky by the way.”

“Thank you,” Lando says primly. “Still not making out with Mario.”

Alex gets a very dangerous mischievous gleam in his eyes. “I dare you,” he says, and George and Charles simultaneously let out a gasp that would’ve been very funny if Alex hadn’t just doomed Lando’s entire night.

“Oh fuck you,” he says, glaring, before knocking back the last of his own glass of ‘the world’s funkiest cocktail’ and slamming his cup down onto the bar. “All right, where is that fucker.”

“That’s no way to talk about your future husband.”

“Can it, George.”

Alex snorts. “He’s on the couch in the living room.”

“All right,” Lando says, shaking out his limbs like he’s going to run a fucking Marathon instead of make out with a guy that might not even want to make out with him. “Here goes nothing,” he says, before making his way back into the living room.

It’s pretty packed, but he finds the couch easily, ducking behind two girls dressed like Wednesday and Enid before coming to a standstill in front of the guy dressed as Mario. He even has one of those stupid stick on moustaches, though he’s ditched the gloves, the pair lying abandoned on the arm rest next to him.

Other than that he’s. Kind of cute. In a sort of boyish way. He has something weirdly familiar, though Lando can’t quite place it. “Hi,” he says, trying to stand in a way that accentuates his. Something. It must work regardless because the guy’s eyes snap to Lando and then widen ever so slightly, the light flush he had on his cheeks – probably from the heat – darkening considerably.

“Lando,” he blurts out, and Lando falters a little because huh. So he does know this guy. That’s a little. It’s probably not a great start to trying to woo him, not remembering who he is. The guy must notice Lando’s confusion because he adds. “Oscar? You’re in my econ 101 lecture.” His eyes dart away and then back again, lingering for a moment on Lando’s thighs, that are very prominently on display.

“Right!” Lando says, though he doesn’t specifically remember Oscar. “Monday 8am. My favorite class.”

Oscar laughs, a loud, sharp thing that sort of seems to startle out of him, folding his body ever so slightly forward as he does so. “Yeah, that one,” he says, and he seems a little tense now, his shoulder dropping ever so slightly.

“Where’s Luigi?” Lando asks, changing the topic before he has to reveal he still doesn’t technically remember Oscar, nudging Oscar’s cap with his hand, watching Oscar’s eyes widen when Lando leans in a little closer.

“Oh, uh. Fucked off,” Oscar says, blushing slightly. “He uh. There was this girl, so.”

“Ah,” Lando says, nodding. “Daisy.”

Oscar’s brows knit together in a decidedly cute way. “Daisy?”

“Yeah,” Lando says. “You know. Daisy, Luigi.” He gestures between them then, “Mario. Peach.”

“Right,” Oscar says, blushing impossibly more. “Right, yeah. Mario and Peach.”

“Exactly!” Lando says, and then, because he’s getting signals, and because Oscar has been trying very had not to stare at Lando’s. Everything. For the past five minutes, he sits down. In Oscar’s lap. “Peach and Mario,” he says, as Oscar flails a little and seems to have some kind of internal panic about where to put his hands.

Lando solves it by grabbing them and putting them on the flimsy little waist of his body suit. Oscar lets out a slow shuddering breath as he glances up at Lando with wide eyes, but leaves his hands on Lando’s waist, as Lando readjust himself, puts a knee on either side of Oscar’s thighs. “As I was saying,” he says. “Mario and Peach.” And then he takes Oscar’s face in his hands, takes off the stupid moustache, and kisses him full on the mouth.

Oscar makes a tiny little noise in surprise, fumbling a little as their teeth clack together, but then suddenly something in him seems to snap, and he kisses back. His hands are suddenly everywhere, from Lando’s waist to his back to his ass, squeezing down in a way that makes Lando moan into his mouth, an opportunity which Oscar uses to slide his tongue into Lando’s mouth, kissing him like a man starved.

Lando lets his hands slide from the sides of Oscar’s face into his hair, knocking the Mario hat off and tugging ever so slightly, eliciting a delicious little moaning noise from Oscar that he swallows eagerly. It goes on like that for a bit, each of them giving as good as they get, when Lando finally pulls away, breathing a little heavily.

Oscar looks equally debauched, breathing heavily, eyes wide and hair messy. He looks… He looks fucking hot, and Lando vows to pay more attention in econ 101, next time.

“Mamma Mia,” Oscar breathes out, in a terrible Itatlian accent, and there’s a little twitch to the corner of his mouth, even though his words are incredibly deadpan, and it startles a laugh out of Lando. Hot and funny. Yeah, Lando’s definitely going to start paying more attention.

But for now, he presses his lips back to Oscar’s, and sends a small little thank you to that bet he lost. Maybe he should start losing them more often, if it gets him this.

so, im trying to answer my discussion post and want to copy the question on the text response so i don't have to scroll up....

and it didn't copy well so instead i got:

out of sheer panic i almost hit sent.

[atopvisenyashill]

Okay if you're in hater mode I get to ask the question I've been dying to ask for a while: top five dumbest criticisms of hotd.

And on the flip side, top five dumbest moments in got.

EXCELLENT.

“they’re excusing the targaryens practices bc of the prophecy.” no, they are not. just because someone has a magical reason for doing something does not make them inherently justified. cersei has magical reasons to suspect both sansa & tyrion of treachery does that mean the way she treats them is justified? of course not. aegon having a dream, and rhaenyra being motivated by that dream, is not “excusing” anyone and i need everyone to get a fucking grip.

“alicent has overstayed her welcome in the narrative” the story is called the princess and the queen. their sides are named after them, not after rhaenyra and aegon. aegon means nothing in this conflict. it’s alicent who helps kick it off, it’s alicent who is the titular queen, it’s alicent who gives them the name the greens, it’s alicent who rhaenyra has an issue with. not fucking aegon.

“they took away rhaenyra’s femininity” no they didn’t but even if they did you can eat my ass about it

“alyn is anachronistic bc he yells at his deadbeat noble father” idek what to say to this one it’s so goofy.

how do i choose only five. the baela stuff (“rhaenyra is usurping her!!!”) irked the shit out of me, but i think a lot of the “it’s transphobic to do butch rhaenyra/trans rhaenyra” stuff made me lose my mind but that’s kinda related to the other point, when people would be like “you can’t compare aegon to alicent, he’s a rapist and she’s a rape victim” you guys….maybe the “you’re porn brained if you call alicent & her relationships w her kids emotional incest” bc like, if you’re going to bitch at least be aware of what you’re bitching about!! emotional incest is a term commonly used to describe parent-child dysfunctional dynamics like!!!!!!

top 5 dumbest got moments

“bran can’t feel anymore” and we just don’t engage with that ever again in any sort of substantial way

jaime just fucking off to dorne? to get myrcella because ?????

arya getting mad over sansa’s hostage letter enough to try to kill her. they couldn’t even go for the fucking ship plot that everyone is always bitching about bc they cut that from the show, so arya just gets nonsensically mad bc sansa wrote a letter saying “please bend the knee” while her father was in the dungeons and she was alone and 13. okay.

the shae knife scene. maybe this isn’t the worst offender but it still hands out to me like i remember watching it and going “no….surely not???”

can’t even say “they forgot about the iron fleet” bc the entire way the iron fleet is written is dumb. i said this before but someone just announces they have the fleet and then at the end of the season they get shit kicked and someone else announces they have it. this happens like 5 times in a row. genuinely might as well have just cut all the greyjous but theon at that point like 😭

[iwatcheditbegin]

I’m learning many people failed economics class. People don’t know what trade deficits, tariffs, and competitive advantage are. It’s sad and scary at the same time.

[uncertaininnit]

ben Linus would be anti union

[maaaxx]

Crack modern atla au but where zuko is still chasing down aang but instead of him trying to capture him, ozai owns a car dealership and he sends zuko to contact aang about his cars extended warranty

[ladyoftheharbour]

every time i give my boyfriend a little kiss in the library before i go back to work after visiting him while he's studying i am afraid i'll open the next post on the confessions account and see like "short brunette girl and tall dirty blond guy stop with the pda in the library it's gross." bc there is a definite theme of people getting shamed via confessions for like. holding hands in public on this campus. whatever

[liesmyth]

You have math class in English? Wrow

I'm not even doxxing myself because there are like 4 different unis in my city offering that degree entirely taught in English. The language is the easiest part ngl makes it easy to pirate textbooks 😎
