her clothes are comfortable but she is Not

@redteamshark is running a fic rec day, so here we go!

Indelible Ink by @angel-ascending

Jester wants a tattoo and she's found the perfect artist to do it. The question is, can she pay for it?

My rec list needs to start of with @angel-ascending‘s work because they write the first works I went crazy over for Campaign 2!  Seriously, all worth reading!

A Warm Feeling by @princessamericachavez

“So the Traveler is there even when you can’t see him?”

“Oh, yes!” Jester smiled at him. “I mean, not all the time because I’m sure he has other cool things to do every day, but most of the time, yes. He’s around.”

“How do you know, though?” He insisted.

I’ve determined that @princessamericachavez just excels at cute moments.  Here is one.

Art & Science by @blindvogel and @shadowedhills

Percy and Vex's blind date at the art museum leads to a Very Serious science experiment back at Percy's apartment. 

I’ve not done one of these in a while, however, I wanted to rave over some of the authors I love:

@raedmagdon [Ao3] She has written so much of my favorite fiction. She tends to write Mass Effect, The 100, and others. I currently own all of her books that have been released and she’s lovely to talk to.

@littlefists [Ao3] Put Your Guns in the Ground is lovely. Go read it. 

@anneapocalypse [Ao3] Anne’s fic The Drop is by far one of the best Carolina fics out there.

@redteamshark [Ao3] I love Bunce and their work. I will never stop recommending their work.

@zalia [Ao3] Zalia’s fics, especially Kitten Food, are excellent.

There u go Bunce! It’s great to have a dancing partner that won’t feel you stepping on their feet.

Cutie potatie (like cutie patootie but for potatoes)

0o0!!!!!!!! it’s perfect

Yeah, you can just read a play on the page but it really helps to have some context for how it would be performed, to be able to visualize it coming to life on a stage. High school students often don't have that context. The language can be opaque, and even more so if you aren't used to reading poetry. There's a lot of hurdles to get over to truly get immersed in the text. It's far from impossible, but in a classroom it requires a teacher with the commitment to getting students there. I was lucky--I had English teachers who did in fact show us performances of the plays in addition to reading. We also watched some modern films inspired by Shakespeare plays (Ten Things I Hate About You, Clueless, etc) and discussed how they'd been adapted from the original texts.

(I'm joking this is a joke I promise.)
