Raving Mad Cao

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

can we? 🥺

You need to eat some vegetables in your diet or you will become a lich.

You have to wear a life jacket or you will literally drown and die.

You need to be able to exist in public spaces with children.

Ambassador: The Flannel Lesbian. Practical, a bit swole, and very pretty.

Galaxy: The Lipstick Lesbian of the group. Pretty, all curves, a bit top heavy.

Constellation: The ever beloved Butch of the friend group. Overbuilt and ready to DO THINGS.

Defiant: Small but feral lesbian. You're into it but also wtf. Manic Pixie gremlin.

Intrepid: Nerdy e-girl that loves purple, cat ears, and has a surprising right hook. Gets into weird shit.

Sovereign: Trans, gorgeous, and always wears the BEST possible heels.

Miranda: Always alone but so cute you can't figure why til she decks a guy. She looks between the ages of 13 and 30 all at once.

Oberth: Tiny gay med student who knows everything about everything. Goes down with so much as a light slap (and yes that has a dual meaning)

Constitution: Connie to her friends, and everyone is her friend. She's rarely around but part of the Old Guard.

NX: Has been part of the scene as long as anyone can remember, and is an avid activist.
