artists.

the writer. messy notebooks, messy desks. messy head. scribbling all over their arms. night owl. never being able to finish a project. losing too many ideas due to forgetfulness. passionate about everything. know-it-all. not knowing their own limits. trying to make flowers bloom, even during heavy storms.

the poet. quiet. visual mind. head filled with ideas, struggling to find the right words. not being productive for three months and then writing six poems in an hour. reading the entire dictionary several times. noticing little details that no one else does. laughing quietly. wishing to be enough, someday.

the painter. failing at consistency. having paint all over their face, clothes, and desks. spending more money on art supplies than on anything else. notebooks filled with doodles, tears, and flowers. radiating sunshine. heavy mood swings. supporting, and being supported.

the performer. loud. not hesitating to speak up, for themselves, for others. trying to see the good in everything. rain, and the smell before rain. drinking more coffee than their body can handle. reading every book at once. laughing and crying at the same time. being honest. the helping hand everyone needs.

The Hogwarts House as Students (Based on People I Know)

Gryffindor

listens to anime osts while studying

highlights everything, gOD

acts like a roman orator during class reports

“pisses off” the teacher with their jokes but is secretly probably the teacher’s fave student

mnemonics

either studies ahead of time or DOESN’T SLEEP FOR 48 HOURS BECAUSE THEY PROCRASTINATED (there is no in between)

 flashcards galore

gets elected as class president because their friends thought it would be funny (but is actually pretty good at the job??)

determination to succeed even when they’re already too done with everything

Ravenclaw

has 100 highlighters and a system for how to use them

“do you think i’ll still have to take the exam if i die from caffeine overdose?”

really creative bullet journals (or minimalist layouts)

“how do you have such perfect handwriting?” “oh, it’s always been that way.” *actually spent 1000 hours perfecting it*

scrolls through the studyblr tag and calls it studying

posts something on studyblr and calls it studying

procrastinates a lot tbh. 

classical music

gets anxious about not studying. still not studying because they’re too anxious to start. (relatable?)

always getting irrational thoughts about their “failing” grades

Hufflepuff

lots of colorful pens

a e s t h e t i c  study spaces

extra af when it comes to projects (they’ll probably wear a mammoth costume during their report about the ice age. y’know, for authenticity)

working really hard for a subject they are not good at. feeling very satisfied when they get a high grade on that subject.

probably expects the worst so they don’t get disappointed

helping others study

sharing their notes

comforts other students who are having nervous breakdowns but they probably need comforting as well

all-nighters. 

Slytherin

motivational quotes

studying extra hard for a subject someone told them they’re not good at, purely for the satisfaction of proving them wrong

they’re e x t r a af, in general

getting really high grades, but only seeing that one grade that was lower than they expected

either really organized or really messy (but, like, in an organized way)

mind maps and flowcharts

look calm as fuck when it comes to tests but it’s probably because they’re disassociating lmao

working hard not just because they like it, but because they simply don’t like the thought of failing

really supportive of their friends but at the same time bitter when they get higher marks at something (but only because they see it as a sign of personal failure)

has high standards for them themselves. at the same time, they feel like everyone expects too much of them.

Downtime

[Mick can’t sleep in his and Len’s old room anymore. Ray is a patient man, and Mick is a patient reader. Sara gets a message from Rip, just for her. Stein meddles, lovingly, as best as he can. Somehow, the team comes back together, and Mick gets some rest.]

atomwave roadtrips

first of all, this is unbearable for mick because he just wants to listen to some fucking metal but ray is very audio sensitive and it gives him a migraine so they only thing they listen to is npr or the npr podcast this american life. which like mick can fall asleep pretty easily too but also MICK YOURE DRIVING 

like thats obstacle 2, is mick INSISTS on driving until he’s literally about to pass out and ray is like, PLEASE let me drive. And he does, and mick is like out in five minutes, so i think ray drives for a couple more hours and then pulls into an inn so they can have a SLEEPOVER <3 <3 <3 ~ray: oh no!!! the room only has one bed!!! what will we doooo ~mick: you shouldve just left me on the side of the road

i like that i’ve gotten 2 paragraphs into it and i haven’t specified where they’re driving from or to or why or for how long and im kind of like, i dont want to even get that complex with it i dont want to ruin the magic that is ray’s npr sing a longmick: you cant sing along to NPRray: well not with that attitude you CANTmick: what if i drove us off the road. what thenray: oh you

they do absolutely share a bed because it’s not like they haven’t had sex at this point and ray just sucks mick off for like an hour and mick is just like holy shit why are you being so romantic and ray is like im just overwhelmed with how much i care about you and how happy i am to be with you and mick is like oh. …………. thanks?ray: i love you toomick: oh he said the word

mick has a nightmare in the middle of the night and ray wakes him up and mick wakes up gasping im fine lenny im fine and then remembers it’s ray and is like well i guess i just continue descending into hell

the next morning ray doesn’t mention it and mick washes him in the shower because he feels really bad and ray lets him drive and they pull into the nearest greasy spoon and ray of course gets egg whites and wheat toast and mick gets 50 pancakes bacon sausage eggs hash browns etc and of course he has to have his mouth full when ray goes “im not mad at you i still love you i meant it and it’s okay that you called me lenny because you miss him but it means you feel safe and familiar laying in bed with me and that’s all i really want” and mick who, again, has his mouth full, is like mpfs? ray steals a piece of his bacon. and mick thinks maybe he can deal with npr for another couple of days 

they get back to the car and ray is like look!!! i got ear plugs so you can listen to your music and mick is like you did that for me? and ray is like yes of course!!!mick: sighs, puts on this american liferay: youmick: shut upray: oh mickmick: SHUT UP

ray makes them pull over at whatever horrible roadside attraction they come across and when they take a photo ray kisses mick’s cheek and when they leave mick drives them out of the way so he can pull away into some out of the way cornfield and fuck ray senseless

mick as ray falls asleep in the seat next to him as they keep driving: you’re alright i guess

[leienlawliet]

Ok, so I know absolutely no one in this fandom nor I have actually interacted with it that much, but somehow imagination kind of came to me today and I feel like I should share this with you all? 

So.

I’ve got the feeling that once you win Mick’s trust there’s no way out unless you go and betray him for good, for it being so hard to win that you actually have to prove yourself over and over until he knows you’re trustful. And once you are under Mick’s wing you’re just, there. He knows so and he doesn’t need you to be happy about it nor even cares if you actually care about you being considered trustful by him. The same way a mother hen would see an abandoned baby duckling and say “this is my chicken now, not yours. Stay away.” 

I think something like that would also happen when it comes to relationships. He wouldn’t talk about feelings, he’s not a talkative guy, he would just see if he’s not imagining things, understand their chemistry for how it is, and give that person a place in his life, a place for the other to fit in. He doesn’t need to put it into words, he just finds where and how the other one fits in his life and says “ah, there’s that” and moves on. Now, imagine that maybe Ray and Mick have been fooling around for awhile, Ray may think it’s nothing serious, Mick never talks about it nor shows anything about what they have going on between them. What happens in their rooms stays in their rooms, only them and Gideon are the wisers, and whenever they’re with the group they act as they usually would, as if nothing changed. Imagine that for this or that reason they have to go back to their time and talk to Lisa, and presentation time is up. Imagine Mick saying “that’s the team, except for him. Haircut and I are together”. Imagine he kind of forgot to tell Ray that. Imagine Ray’s face. Imagine the group’s faces. So of course Ray wasn’t even remotely aware of what Mick thought about him, about them, he didn’t even think Mick would consider them an item. So when the words are out of Mick’s mouth the first thing he says is “Wait, what? No, wait. What?” because suddenly the woman in front of him looks very threatening, all sharp teeth and wild smirk much like her brother, and his teammates aren’t exactly helpful with their reactions: “Wait a sec, they’re shagging?” / “since fucking when?” / “oh dear lord I didn’t need that mental image in my head, thank you Mr. Jackson” among others. Cue for lots of awkwardness, weird looks, embarrassing chats, and meetings that last way too long for Ray to be able to snatch a private moment so he could get to talk to Mick alone and without prying eyes around. “I’m not saying that I don’t want us to be together, okay?” Is the first thing Ray says once he gets Mick all for his own “All I’m saying is that before you go around telling people that we are together you should’ve at least.. asked me, if I wanted to be with you. To… date you” and it’s incredibly stupid how jittery and nervous he has been feeling since Mick outed them just like that. “But you want to, don’t ya?” 

And it’s also incredibly infuriating how passive Mick feels about it all, how calm he looks, as if the whole conversation was pointless, as if it were as simple as “you want to, I want to, where’s the problem?” …Maybe Mick does have a point though. “Sure, I do but…”  “Then there, problem solved.” And with a swing of his beer Mick stands up and leaves the room, not without giving him a firm pat on his shoulder. Maybe Ray’s overthinking it, maybe it was really that easy. Still he can’t help but sigh, feeling resigned about it all. Don’t get him wrong, the whole prospect of being an actual, facebook official couple makes him thrilled, he’s happy, he’s so happy he believes he won’t be able to stop smiling for decades. That’s not why he sighs though, it’s just that something at the back of his mind tells him that Mick’s way-too-forward ways will get him into a way lot of trouble. He’ll remember exactly that thought when, five years from then on Mick comes to him, slams a ring into the table (an engagement ring in fact!) and leaves the room right after saying “We’re getting married”. “Wait, what? Mick? Mick! What did I tell you about asking first!?” Ray asks while running after him, ring now secured in the palm of his hand. At least this time he told him first instead of doing so in front of the whole team, that has to count as a win somehow, right? Right?

So…I’m rewatching s2 of Legends, and I’d forgotten just how good Abominations was to Atomwave fans. 

Mick calling Ray by his first name not once but twice

Ray putting sprouts on Mick’s sandwich (probably as a low-key way to get him to eat something healthy)

That soft little touch Mick did right before Ray injected him with the serum, and Ray promising that he’d take care of him

Ray going one-on-one with zombie!Mick armed with his fire extinguisher filled with aerosolized serum 

Zombie!Mick dive tackling Ray and yet not biting him or hurting him in a significant way

Ray checking up on Mick after the zombie incident and bringing him a sprouts-less burger   

Ray confiding his insecurities and Mick telling him that being an outsider is not a bad thing

MICK GIVING RAY THE COLD GUN

[edwardgma1]

Yes Atomwave is back with matching crowns

[zaritarazi]

I'm pretty sure that if atomwave was happening the rest of the crew wouldn't even notice because 1. Legends are team Not My Problem 2. Mick and Ray are just so Mick and Ray. Like Ray starts crying because Mick got a cut on his arm? Classic Ray. Ray accidentally says "Bye, love you!" to Mick? He did that to Stein last week. Mick calls Ray "hot lips" during a team meeting? Typical Mick nickname. They both act cagey like "umm, we gotta- in the other room." No one asked. No one ever asks.

mick suddenly has a lot of weird red marks on his body? that’s mick mick always has weird marks on his body. ray is having trouble sitting down? that- that one is actually a little weird. jax couldn’t sleep last night because ray and mick were being way too loud? that sounds like a personal problem, jefferson, honestly

jax: THEYRE HAVING SEX 

sara: wow you should get a peabody FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM GOD, JAX

[sillyhypotheticals-blog]

Mick: We are screwed.

Ray: Hey, no, hey. I don’t wanna hear that defeatist attitude… I wanna hear you upbeat!

Mick: *more upbeat* We are screwed!

Ray: There ya go.

college advice from someone who’s been on both sides of it

So I’m finishing up my Ph.D. and preparing to depart for the real world (no, just kidding, I’m going to be in school forever, only in a different capacity) and I thought I’d put together a list of some college tips to share with you all. I graduated with my B.A. in 2012, magna cum laude, with 2 majors, 1 honours thesis, 2 on-campus jobs, and 3 music things. Since then, I’ve gone to grad school and also taught six semesters of first-year seminars. Now I’m going on the job market for teaching positions. All of this means that I’ve seen both sides of the college experience, as a student and as an instructor. There are a lot of great & useful college advice posts going around studyblr this time of here, and I wanted to add my own. I hope it’s useful. So here we go, with a “read more” because it’s long (sorry if you’re on mobile):

academics

find your classrooms ahead of time (profs’ offices too)

figure out how long it will take you to walk between places

figure out where your best seat will be & claim it

say hi to the people next to you, learn their names

take notes in class

take advantage of extra credit

try your best not to fall asleep in class (and if you do fall asleep, apologise to the prof afterwards)

bring your glasses if you need them, don’t be stubborn about it

check out the library, wander in the stacks, talk to the librarians

figure out how & where to print

buy used books/textbooks, or rent them, but be careful with ebooks (some profs don’t allow them)

plan breaks into your class schedule, or block everything together, whichever works best for you

work out the pros & cons of 8am classes and/or night classes

plan ahead – have a planner, put things in it, do them

fake deadlines are a thing (write down earlier deadlines, trick yourself into meeting them, bask in satisfaction)

grades won’t be what they were in high school

keep in mind GPA values: a 3.5 will see you graduating with honours

be nice to the departmental administrative staff, thank them for helping you (even with small things)

office hours versus emailing profs: both will get your questions answered (probably) but if you can go and talk in person, do it

profs & TAs are people too, they have lives, they have bad days

if something comes up, talk to your prof, be honest but don’t overshare, just show them you’re trying

on that note, try
