There is a new teacher on campus, though I've yet to find her class on any roster or class sign up. A pale woman with silver-white hair and eyes like silver coins, wearing a dress of cloth-of-silver silk that gleams like moonlight, teaches strange history, obscure languages I've never heard of, and marine biology in the East garden, the one with the moon-shaped pond that changes shape with the phases of the moon. She's only there when the moon is out in the sky, never there during the new moon, and always sits with her feet in the water during lessons.
I've been attending her lessons when I can, and I've never heard her repeat a story, nor forget a face. I brought her a plate of seashell cookies one time, and the next time I was there, she gave me an ink bottle of what looks to me liquefied moonlight, and a pair of beautiful teardrop shaped silver pearl earrings. There's just something about her that keeps me coming back, even though I know I shouldn't be out after dark. Hearing her lovely voice and seeing her lovely smile again is worth the risk and lost sleep, though, and nothing seems to be able to follow me once I enter there.
Anyway, if anybody is interested in some free credits, come by Miss Moonshine Silvertail's night class, come by the East garden after nightfall.
For day 19, I decided to draw Professor Fig. From start to finish, I loved him! He really is an extraordinary character and I needed to pay tribute to him for Day 19❤️

On the Ethics of Asking Your Professor on a Date by MelayneSeahawk (T)
On the one hand, it seems wildly inappropriate to proposition his professor. On the other hand, it’s not as though he’s some infatuated adolescent looking to increase his grade—he doesn’t even have a grade. No harm it at least asking (though, maybe at the end of the semester, in case Dr. Crowley says no. Besides he should probably figure out the man’s first name first…)
He LOVES fried cutlets ok? And since he's too awkward to go to the food court and get some, he asks us to go fetch some for him. He gives us the money and tells us to get 5-6 cutlets and pack them up and hand them to him. And also gives us some extra money so that we can buy snacks for us.
2. Politics Professor:
He's so jumpy (he's comparatively young to other profs), most of the days he comes to class and after a few mins of studying, he starts singing some random old Bengali songs. And then again goes back to teaching. He sings like 3-4 times in our 40 mins class.
3. Sociology Professor:
Hates the society but teaches a subject that revolves around the society 💀 so his class is this hilarious combination of learning wonderful stuff about sociology and social anthropology and then a few roasts here and there about how fucked up the society is.
4. Language Professor:
I'M TELLING YOU SHES QUEER! She manages to find queer rep in EVERY piece of literature we study 💀💀 and goes on a rant of different possibilities. Also she makes AUs for some stories that dont have a satisfying ending. She's really cute.
5. Home Science Professor:
This has happened only twice, but still. He gave us an extensive lecture on how to NOT burn a cake/pie. And then immediately burned his own 💀
A crown of interlocked antlers sits atop the projector in my class. There's a candle constantly lit and burning. The teacher is human. I think. How do I know?
The practical answer is salt or silver or simply asking directly and carefully phrased - the Gentry cannot lie outright.
The more helpful answer is perhaps that one does not have to be inhuman to necessitate caution. Perhaps live in ignorance and be polite and wonder forever, safely.
The professor answers your question with something that makes no sense, and then he asks if that answers your question, and of course you must say yes. -- Michael Lipsey
