Aaa so glad you like our blog! Thanks for the prompt, this was so fun to talk about!!

The Pitt Works at a High School 📚

Robby and Jack are principal & vice principal. The high schoolers feature him regularly on the school’s meme page. They’re printing out pictures of Robby’s face and drawing on it. He rips them down when he sees them but he can’t keep up with them.

Before he was promoted to vice principal, Jack used to conduct marching band. Jack stands next to the army recruiters who come to the school, wearing shorts to give students a harsh reminder that they don’t have to choose this path.

Dana is the actual school nurse. She gives the kids lollipops. She knows ALL of the school drama. Robby tries to get it from her, but she’s a brick wall.

Samira is the guidance counselor. She’s decked out with brochures for every college and is amazing at matching students with universities. She has no idea where she’s going to grad school, but helping kids find their undergrad programs make her feel like she’s got a handle on things. Plus, she is such a safe space to talk to. She has the COZIEST couch in her office.

Whitaker is the brand new home ec teacher who wants to get in good with the students but is a huge pushover. They go to town ragging on him. He talks about his experience raising a baby and the students are shocked to hear that he’s… a father? Well… not exactly

Frank is the gym and sex ed teacher. He really wants to connect with the students and tries to get them to talk to him, but no one seems interested. He’s always reminiscing about his glory days as a linebacker before he hurt his back.

Ogilvie is the drama teacher. Lecturing the students on the gay subtext of Shakespeare.

Students give Shen dunkin gift cards on teacher appreciation day.

Trinity is the librarian. She lets students eat in the library every day and has created a little safe haven for the outcasts. She runs GSA in the library after school. She coaches the girls basketball team. (Yeah it’s a lot, don’t think about the fact that she’s never at home) The basketball team is in a legendary prank war with coach Frank and his football team. One of Frank’s players joins GSA and realizes they shouldn’t be enemies (insert joke here about playing for the other team)

Javadi works admin along with Princess and Perlah. They pack extra lunches every day to give out to the kids who forgot. Javadi writes all the morning announcements and they’re actually amusing to the teens

McKay is an english teacher (because every gay person had a really crazy relationship with an english teacher at some point). She sits on her desk and her students are dead silent the entire period. The first day McKay shows up without her wedding ring, the entire school loses their minds.

Similarly, Ellis runs the auto shop class and has students lined up to take shop who do not intend to learn anything about cars.

Gloria is the superintendent. She shows up to school and finds the printed photos of Robby and grills him about it. Trinity hides the sharpie marker on her hands.

Mel teaches history and gives amazing enthusiastic lectures. She shows up to school wearing dorky t-shirts that have puns on them. Students get extra credit if they go to the renn faire.

Donnie and Jesse are manning the cafeteria, giving everyone fist bumps. Donnie sets up an open mic in the cafeteria every Friday. The kids love it.

Park the Shark is a math teacher. Every student prays not to be in his class.

Whitaker burns his hand on the home ec stove on his first day teaching. He goes to see nurse Dana and she asks him what grade he’s in.

y’all better eat this up because we got banned from tinder while making this one

Robby

Pt. 2 - Frank

I need everyone to look at this image that I photoshopped for my birthday party invitation

bonus + templates under the cut

• Dana wears a "free mom hugs" shirt

• Jack shows up shirtless, with a leather harness (we just listened to his quinn audio, slutty Jack Abbot is on the mind, ok?) and Robby's wearing a biker hat. Classic.

• Frank Langdon starts out awkward, but very well intentioned. His heart is in the right place and he wants everyone to know that he's a safe space. He's handing out fist bumps and high fives.

• Cassie McKay is bull-riding, wearing the pink Chappell Roan hat, and she's doing an amazing job.

• Trinity is wearing a rhinestone-studded baby tee that says "dyke." This is nothing new for her, so she's keeping her eye on people who are there for the first time.

• Robby steals Whitaker away from the crowd and takes him to the basement of an old gay bar to reminisce about a note he wrote on the bathroom stall in 1996. Whitaker thought this was going in a different direction, but is supportive nonetheless.

• Shen is getting an iced coffee - Not a Dunkalatte this time. Cold brew. On tap.

• Dana approaches a safe-sex tent that is giving away merch for people who can answer questions about PrEP. She's rejoining the group with so many free coozies, stickers, lollipops, branded pens, sunglasses, beads, etc.

• Samira wins the dunk tank on the first try (she used to be a softball player)

• Ogilvie is snapping his fan, duckwalking in the dance circle on the street

• Jack is going home with so many phone numbers that he'll never call. But in making friends, he accidentally got invited to a leather daddies meetup. He will attend.

• Mel would be so impressed by the drag queens, asking them all kinds of questions about how they made their costumes, swapping sewing tips from her experience with renn faire costuming

• Frank becomes the Dancing Queen. Someone has given him a pink feather boa and he finally understands what ABBA was singing about all along.

(Inspired by currently waiting for my flight)

Jack always sits in the emergency exit seats. He has the evacuation guide memorized. Quizzes Robby on safety procedures and what-if-scenarios while Robby is trying to nap

Robby has a lot of opinions about exit procedures when the plane lands, is constantly grumbling about how everyone just stands up. “It’s meant to be a zipper”

Whitaker gets stuck helping people put their suitcases into the overhead compartment, helped one person and then it just became his job

Mel absolutely loves the free cookies they pass out. Trinity gives her extras, pretends not to want them

Langdon watches Rocky on every flight he’s ever been on, he just finds it really moving

As soon as the safety demonstration is over, Ellis puts on a neck pillow and slips on a sleep mask. Passes the fuck out

Princess reads cheesy romance novels and tells Perla about major plot points

Mateo packs in one backpack, no matter where he’s going or how long the trip

Victoria’s suitcase is as big as her, she just wants to be prepared for anything

Dana has befriended every person she has ever been sat next to on an airplane without really even trying

Samira has never not once gotten lost or confused in an airport. She’s just that on top of shit

Don't think about why they're all at the club. Just have fun

• Jack keeps getting mistaken for club security. He plays along, throws a few guys out of the bar. This is normal weekend for him.

• Ogilvie shows up to the club wearing a fedora.

• Mel is letting her hair down, literally. She is getting schwasted at the bar with Mohan, they're trying every fruity cocktail.

• Cassie and Frank are designated drivers. Frank is also keeping a close eye on Mel to make sure she's doing okay.

• Trinity has made it her goal to get Whitaker a date by the end of the night. (Get that boy off the farm Trinity)

• Robby is talking up some girls, and asks them if they want to see his bike. They're impressed and ask, "do you trip?" Robby: "Yeah, I'm going on a trip!" / "Yeah you aaare!" They give him a shot of something.

• Cassie is holding court in the women's bathroom, hearing out drunk girls about their love lives, convincing them to leave their abusive boyfriends. And she's loving it.

• Donnie is breakdancing with Jesse in the middle of a dance circle.

• Shen is getting down, iced coffee in hand.

• Dana used to be a badass bartender back in the day, she gives the bartenders pointers and shows them some tricks.

• Every bouncer and bartender knows Princess by name.

• Victoria is out of her element, clinging to the wall. Mateo offers her a dance and helps her relax!

• Joy is wearing a crazy rave fit and Mohan helps her get her eyeliner even. Trinity asks Dennis to accompany her to the bathroom, and they all end up helping Cassie in her free counseling program offering advice. Dennis is there because he is one of the girls. Dennis: "Hear him out, it could be okay--" Trinity: "Slash his tires."

• The two girls who talked to Robby earlier enter the bathroom and start gossiping. Girl 1: "How old do you think that guy was? Do you think he's ever done shrooms?" Girl 2: "Which guy?" Girl 1: "The sad one. With the motorcycle." Our bathroom crew is immediately SO concerned for Robby.

• Robby meets back up with Jack, who has freshly delivered some Narcan to someone. Robby is feeling WEIRD. He explains the girls gave him a shot, said something about his trip? There is genuine delight in Jack's eyes when he realizes. "Buckle up, brother."

• By the end of the evening, Mel's makeup is running. She's on the dance floor, screaming, "I FUCKING HATE ELF!!!" Robby is beside her, tripping balls. "I HATE MY MOOOOOOOM!!!"

• On the ride home, Mel is really nauseous. Langdon: "Not in my car!" She grabs Ogilvie's fedora from his head and throws up in it.

• Robby didn't expect to have to leave his bike in the alley and is really worried about it. He is experiencing ego death in the back of Cassie's cluttered car. He's using a crumpled up takeout bag as a pillow, haunted by every ghost he's ever lost. He had a great night.

Bonus:

This is how the group finds Robby
