The thing about college AUs is that they often focus on students and fail to realize that at many higher education institutions the employees are this close to breaking out into open warfare. A W359 college AU where they are students would not work. A W359 college AU where they all work at a community college and still want to kill each other the same amount would be entirely believable.

#the Hephaestus has powerful community college energies #run down underfunded held together with spit and prayers #people assume everyone there is secondrate and couldn't do any better for themselves #then they get acquired by a for profit and when the shiny Urania Institute people come swanking in #they're like hands off our garbage #the only reason the fma college au was low on faculty drama was bc i thought of most of it while in grad school #now I am on faculty and god. I thought grad student drama was bad #I mean tbf grad students are often teetering on the cliff's edge a bit more but still #one time they upcycled our computers (not replaced them. we got slightly newer used ones)#and they had to go back and install internet explorer bc a loadbearing part of our accounting system requires it #i work at the Hephaestus station of colleges #Hilbert is still doing horrific experimentation but in a lab that's not even as high quality as the local high school's #wolf 359
