The way a student of mine tried to argue that he didn’t need to learn how to read outside of the basics because “it’s not necessary anymore. We have AI.” He had a whole (obviously poorly worded, he couldn’t use AI when talking to me) speech.
I’m seriously concerned about my students. They’re 14-15 and a lot of them are bordering on illiterate. Their English teacher plays the audiobooks for their assigned reading to them because there’s no other way to keep the stuff that they do “at grade level.” They simply refuse to read because it’s SO HARD for them (and some just can’t.)

Real quick can we talk about how some of the best written females in Shōnen are from FAIRY TAIL.
Like the fan service of that show, out of control, flat out makes me uncomfortable sometimes. But the amount of development female characters get? Amazing. Some of the best. My Hero Academia could never.
Jellal was introduced to further ERZA’s character development. How weird is that? It’s normally the other way around.
Can mangakas just figure out how to write female characters for once in their life? It’s not that hard. Just write them as if they were men.

*Eren x Reiner shipping noises intensify*
I love Xiao Xingchen and his murder boyfriend sooooooooooo much
Husband: I know you don’t need any more evidence that Clive is in love with Jason, but I just found some more so let me play this bit for you *plays the book 3 epilogue*
Husband: Jason was burning so hot that even someone with the fire essence had to step back, and Clive’s up there getting his face burned off just to be near his body.
Anyways, true love exists and I found it. And so did Clive.
By the time they move onto actual like, cuddling, Clive has managed to bring his work with him so that Jason can hold him while he looks at it (“it’s so comfortable and relaxing. I don’t know why.”). Jason is breaking internally, telling himself it’s okay to continue cuddling Clive because he’s acting honorable.
But really he spent about five hours the past two days reading up on Clive’s specialty so he can hold a better conversation, and it’s not even the first time.
Jason, situated behind Clive on a couch, holding him while Clive reads over research paper: I actually read that one recently.
Clive: …. You read it?
Jason: yeah. I liked their approach to X
Clive: Me too. *goes into longer rant about it*
Clive leaves an extra big tip (he never tips) and it’s like a punch in the gut.
Professional Cuddler AU
Jason who takes on odd jobs and one of those is as a professional cuddler. Clive is, as always, a researcher at a local university. I struggle with how to get Clive to hire Jason, but I’m going to say it’s Belinda who does it as a joke for his birthday. Clive, of course, shows up because he’s not going to be rude.
Jason is immediately aware that Clive isn’t at all into it and offers to start slow. It’s a 3 hour session (damn, Belinda) so he asks if he wants to have a conversation instead. Start with small skin contact like hand holding or letting their legs touch.
So Jason brews some tea out, and they sit and talk. Letting their legs touch under the table and extra skin contact. Jason talks to Clive, asks him questions, and Clive has a pleasant time being able to talk about everything with someone who is personable and will listen to him. (What he really needs is a therapist, but Jason will do)
Despite originally not wanting to go, Clive books another session.
Writing smut does, in fact, take a lot more out of me that it used to, I’ve learned lol.
This is basically what happened after Jin lan city right
His opinion is rly important to SQQ 😤😤
