Chapter 4

“Why Foster decided to put the vampires in charge on the kitchen witches’ day off, I’ll never know.” 

“Who should have been in charge?” Mekhi asks as he walks up behind Macy. “The dragons? Roasted marshmallows only get most of the student body so far.”

Except that dragons need to eat food, too. Vampires do not. It makes more sense to put a dragon in charge than a vampire. 

I’m halfway through my frozen yogurt when a hush comes over the dining hall, right about the time the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I look to see everyone staring at something behind me and I know—even before I turn around—who I’m going to find.

Chapter 4 summary: Macy and Flint continue to complain about the vampire’s lack of cooking skills, while Mekhi keeps insisting that the cooking “isn’t that bad”. They get into the cafeteria, and things are weird and red or black. Everybody loads up on the self-serve fro-yo that’s at the end of the line, if only because the “Swedish blood pancakes” don’t look good at all. 

And that’s it. That’s the entire fucking chapter. “The food’s not so bad!” “Blerg!”

Chapter 5

I don’t need to turn around to know Hudson has just walked into the cafeteria, but the way Jaxon’s hand tightens on mine gives me all the added confirmation I need.

Chapter 5 summary: Jaxon starts walking towards Grace. The entire thing needs two goddamned pages for a single moment, as Grace explains about how everybody else is reacting. The number of fucks I give about this is in the negatives. 

He finally asks if he and his friends can sit with them, and again, it’s the most fucking dramatic thing in the entire fucking universe. It’s not even exciting either, which is the worst part!

Grace and Jaxon force themselves to make awkward small talk, which is starting to become physically painful to read. Although they’re literally the only ones, as around them, the others laugh and joke and are generally having a good dinner period. 

Jaxon then holds Grace’s hand, and for a moment, she thinks that things might be okay. And then Hudson appears. 

Chapter 6

A second later, it’s like everyone notices him at once. Each person at the table stills as if holding their collective breath even as their eyes dart everywhere—except toward Jaxon and me.

The problem is that everybody reacted this way when Jaxon walked in. 

So now I’m wondering if all conversation pauses whenever somebody new walks in, no matter who it is. Simply to be dramatic. 

I follow him—of course I do. Because I’d follow Jaxon anywhere. And I can’t deny the tiny part of me that hopes he’s finally ready to discuss how we can make this work.

Chapter 6 summary: Hudson comes in, and he’s brought cheesecake. He gives Grace and Jaxon a weird look before he starts to joke around with Macy about playing chess with her later. But then everybody else gets in on this thing, and Grace feels like she and Jaxon have been unintentionally left out of the conversation.

Grace knows that Hudson is trying to make things less awkward between everybody, especially the other vampires and Grace. Yet, he goes around and does things like this that makes Grace feel so uncomfortable. 

Eventually, Jaxon gets up to leave, and Grace goes with him. 

Chapter 7

At least until the tears start to roll—silent and steady—down my cheeks.

Chapter 7 summary: Outside the cafeteria, Jaxon keeps walking until they’re outside of Macy’s and Grace’s room. Grace then has a panic attack, and Jaxon talks her down from it. 

He then embraces her, but once the hug is over, he tells her that none of this is working out. He obviously blames himself for all of the shit and pain that both of them are in now, even though Grace tries really hard to tell him that he’s not at fault here. But he’s quick to point out that he’s the one who had the bond-breaking spell casually in his trash, like the thought of somebody like his dad trying to ruin all and any happiness… had never once occurred to him. 

Grace then begs him to tell her the punchline to the joke. The one he started way back in the first book, but then life kept interrupting him telling her the punchline. He tells her, and they have a weird moment of “Wow, that’s the stupidest joke ever”, which used to be kind of their thing.

She starts to tell him an even worse joke, but he kisses her. But then he turns around and leaves. Grace starts to cry, knowing that it’s finally over between them now.

THERE IS SO MUCH FUN TO BE FOUND IN THE WORLD OKAY!!! NEVER FORGET!!!!!! SOMETIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO FIND BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN IT ISNT THERE!!!

[bacchuschucklefuck]

this whole thing being abt rage is also really interesting. I feel like it comes up so much in fiction as a motive because it's the one emotion that's unifyingly restless while everything else can be petrifying, and just personally nothing hits like impotent rage for me, esp. with teen characters, esp. with characters whose rage is stoked by Someone Else to further that Someone Else's cause. like you'll have done all that in a bout of passion and when you're done you look around you and nothing has changed. those sentiments don't get quelled by being satisfied. righteousness withdrawal is a horrible thing to intentionally drag someone into, least of all just some kids.

Here’s the thing. We can assume that Williams knew about the one-reserve rule from the start, and yet she took on two reserves, knowing one would be cut. It's clear from her interactions with Nick and the way she talks about him that she's betting on him, but she kept Eugene as a safety net just in case Nick couldn't improve fast enough. She's using her students as pawns to win against her old rival rather than seeing them as people she's supporting in achieving great things.

The way she approached cutting Eugene was so insensitive and shitty that it feels fucking malicious. She chose to publically cut him from the team, and to make it worse, she started it off by saying she needed the best on the team, then immediately gave the slot to Nick. That is simply an unnecessary prelude--there is no reason she needed to 'justify' her choice by outright telling Eugene he's not good enough.

Yes, Nick fenced better at camp, and yes, Williams is justified in her decision. What she's not justified in is stringing Eugene along when she knew from the start he was deadweight only to publically kick him off the team right before they actually start the season. Her treatment of him was callous and--hopefully unintentionally--cruel.

[princessnijireiki]

it's always such a strange thing when people say stuff like, "oh, my developmental cognitive delay, mental illness, etc NEVER gets believed in, not like PHYSICALLY disabled people," or, "oh, I NEVER get accommodations for my physical conditions in school, not like other students' LEARNING disabilities," "THIS kind of thing I experienced is uniquely oppressive and one of many roots of evil in the world, other power structures & people in positions of authority are NOT as harmful as the one I experienced, and the world is soooo much nicer & easier to everybody & every kind of cripple except me"

like I know of all the social media platforms tumblr has the rep of being the pity party site, but while you truly may have suffered and nobody is here to diminish that, y'all are moving very weirdly through life

JK Rowling’s books are a building. And she stopped after creating shitty, waterlogged, deeply structurally unsound blueprints and half the scaffolding. Then left it to the elements (aka her Twitter), damaging it nearly beyond repair.

And the fandom looked at this, and put on hard hats. And they tore down that scaffolding, and took those blueprints and changed it into something that would work, and they built the most beautiful building you’ve ever seen.

The building JK Rowling designed was deeply flawed, it would never pass inspection, it would collapse under its own weight and lack of structural integrity within seconds of being built. The aesthetic design was tragic and hideous and offensive. But the fans looked at all of that, and said to themselves, “this building is fucked up, it will never be good if left like this, and everything about it is terrible and makes zero sense. But goddamnit, I have trauma and I can fix it because it must be done and no one else will.”

JK Rowling may have designed that original building. She may have had the initial idea. She may have built that unfinished scaffolding. She may have drawn those blueprints.

But this building is no longer JK Rowling’s.

Old draft i found and wanted to post!!!

monodeku AU fic idea thing where people can fuse (like steven universe gem fusing minus the gems) but ONLY if they have a strong emotional bond.

its their second year of highschool, and the two are friends (monoma swears they arnt). they bonded over their shared appreciation for quirks and such.

At some point they are on patrol and izuku's danger sense goes off for some reason (maybe something falling, maybe a villan idk, haven't thought of the details) so he grabs monoma in a panic to help him avoid the danger.

but instead of moving him they accidentally fuse.

after the initial panic of "oh god what why did we fuse" (mostly from monoma) they have to head back to campus. but the issue is, they don't know how to unfuse.

another thing, i came up with their fusion quirk!!

Its called "copy and paste". basically, it works like copy but the user can give the copies to other people as well as using the copies themselves. the time limit still applies for the copy and the paste.
