Also, do they ever learn to write a paper even without citations? They never seem to take an English class! No wonder they have such problems writing their essays, no-one ever teaches them how, they just seem to get thrown in at the deep end!

yeah! I feel like a lot of HP meta deals with their lack of english (and math) classes though, so I didn’t want to get into THAT whole Thing.

some schools just do… all exams, all the time, and no essays, or essays with bibliographies but not actually citing each statement. at least this is what I’ve gathered from how bad some people in my uni classes have been at understanding the basic concept.

but how is that preparing them for academic life??? arghh. (honestly professors who encounter this should like. write up an angry form letter about this and then ask each of these kids who their teachers were so they can go straight to the source.)

Noooooo... let the corset man live...

Haven’t done any yet! And thank you for the birthday wishes (:

What do they do when they need comfort? Do they seek out a person, a food, an activity, etc?He tends to dive into his work. But the mundane work, not any occultism stuff because that sometimes just makes him despair. Simple corset-building work. He also likes buying fabrics and things. Purchasing supplies is grounding for him because it takes his mind off his troubles and feels productive.

What are they like when they are drunk?He’s really friendly. He gives so many compliments. Gets a bit touchy feely. NOT IN LIKE, A HANDSY WAY but like. He just touches people more than he does when he’s sober. Like. He’ll tell someone how nice their cravat is and then grab it to see what it’s made out of.

have you watched the legally blonde musical?
