The last fictional character in your photo library, is the person you gonna sit next to in a 8 hour flight!

OHHH EMU?? Not bad

Does my oc count? She'd be alright to sit next to...

i guess im sitting next to one of my ocs too (she's the sweetest, the flight wouldn't be bad at all)

oh..........crap......well that'll be an interesting flight

it was Caine, what did y'all expect

Excellent. I possess 5 fingers on each hand so I'm happy with this.

also tagging @marbled-pulse because I don't want to hijack @/evyyy77

ummm does this count as caine or bubble??? if it’s bubble i’m so screwed i could NOT put up with him for so long. if its caine then it’d probably be fun as long as he’s not crashing out like in episode 8

@vs-vapor @ilovebugs99 @caine-the-chair-smacker @alastormooseboi @zekehasarrived @kreechurthecrazykat + open tags :3

oh? not bad... considering i lowk have a crush on him or whatever

My first try on the design of a character in my bf's game. Definitely not the final one, I believe. His name is Ekko btw

I think I'll survive

it's gamzee (x2)

I KNOW THERE'S MULTIPLE OTHER FICTIONAL CHARACTERS BUT THERE'S TWO GAMZEES AND THEY'RE THE MOST PROMINENT ONES SO

UHM. I DONT FUCKING KNOW??

it’s either my sona YIFA or just @muffinstuffins11 . idfk and idrc.

I just hope her ahh doesn't cry as I have to treat her like I'm her mom...

WHOAAA YES MAMA YES

(Fanart not mine)

Oh I’m so plotting Tim’s demise with him

I think hed die in the folds of the seat

im sitting next to gay psychotherapists..yippee..

(yes the art is mine)

ZUCKER!!! YESSS!!! :DDD

Right. I asked @goldenhydreigon47 about Goodra. I was wondering why this thing was here.

She'd be adorable, so...sure, why not?

Anyways

Seems I'm next to Stay Gold who just left the Backrooms, so I suppose hearing their tales about it and Golshi's antics wouldn't be half bad.

i think it would be pretty pleasant

We stay winning

Besides the logistics of getting an 8 foot tall telepathic horse man into a plane comforts, I think we chill

Maya and Phoenix would be pretty calm, but I would have to worry about impromptu murder accusations

Yeah I think I'd be just fine.

HAHAHA, MY SEATMATE IS MY ART OF WESLEY WESTON-

Yeah, I think we'll get along swimmingly. Thanks for the tag, bro.

Not bad if not much for conversation

This is going to be a very pleasant flight.

It's gonna be an enjoyable flight for me at the very least

thank you for the tag @raspberry-ribcage @li-rheinn and @inhalingstardust000 <3 <3 this was such fun!

Also why cant smut be fluffy) // canon-compliant or fix-it (depends on fandom) // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high-school romance or middle-age romance (i like both a lot) // time travel or isolated together // neighbors or roommates // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or genderbent // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane (surprisingly i like no capes aus a lot)

A lot of these depend on my mood and what fandom I'm reading lol, but these are the general stuff!

And then he left and became a middle school science teacher. And that turned out to be his real calling. He was bright and creative and a little bit brilliant and a genuinely good scientist, and he gave that world up to teach kids and he loved it. Even after everything, after the Petrova Taskforce and Project Hail Mary and Tau Ceti and ultimately ending up on Erid, his calling is to teach kids.

As someone who has dipped in and out of the science communication/science education world myself, it's so important to me that Grace loves teaching, and especially that he loves teaching kids. People really devalue science communication work, and there's often this unspoken assumption that the people doing it just aren't "smart enough" to become real scientists, so they do scicomm instead. And everything about Grace flies in the face of that -- he's perfectly capable of doing the science, but it's not what he loves the most! What he loves and values and finds important is teaching, and I adore that. It's so refreshing to see, and such a genuine love letter to educators, and to everyone who chooses to prioritize communication and education regardless of how specialized they may or may not be in their field.

is to be a teacher. And

that’s so important.
