not to like completely expose myself here, but in high school, there was this teacher (a real ' you either hate him or love him' type) that I had and then the rest of my siblings all eventually ended up having since he taught like a hs diploma requirement class.
i wouldn't say we're like 'close' or anything, but there's definitely some kind of relationship my family has with him since both my parents are his coworkers and me, plus my four younger siblings, all took his class. like he stops by to chat with us when he sees us, makes jokes and messes around with us, and one time, my sister told him to bring her back a specific type of japanese drink she had while we were in japan that she's not able to get in the states after she found out he was going to japan for the summer, and he did.
anyways, a few years back (?) one of my siblings got to taking his class and pointed out he reminded them of schlatt, and after agreeing to that observation, I pointed out that schlatt's mc skin looks nearly exactly like the guy, like suit and all too.
now it's like a running joke amongst my siblings (at least the two that do know schlatt) that he's our 'at home schlatt.'
but the issue for me over the last couple of years is like,, "do i like him because he reminds me of schlatt? or do i like schlatt because he reminds me of that teacher??"
because fuck, y'all,, after I graduated and like,, started to have more one-on-one conversations with the guy whenever I'd go to younger sibling school events and shit,, like,, i just started to see him in a different light. whether or not it was because of the schlatt comparison remains to be unseen, because part of me also wonders if i started to enjoy schlatt and his content as much as i did because he reminded me of the teacher i totally do not have a crush on.
idk where i'm going with this but like,,
idk i'd let him hit, either one idc
