Dean Smith

Dean Smith

PE and health teacher

“Coach Smith”

“Pure-blooded” American

Cousin of Sam

Actually cares about his student's health

Like if you were struggling with running your laps, he would run beside you to help encourage you

Although he doesn't like “rabbit food” like his cousin, he still tries to change the cantine’s food to have less grease

Only guy ever who can teach sex-ed and not make it awkward

Even for the Asexuals in the room

No one knows how he does it

If you’re on your period and try to get out with running he will not put up with that

“Exercise actually helps with the cramps Karen”

You will play dodge ball, there’s no escaping it

You will get a huge bruise from playing dodge ball, it’s brutal

But he does have a couple teacher vs student matches throughout the year

He also has a fondness for baseball, no one knows why

If you tell Gabe that he actually likes curling he will kill you

Is every student’s second favourite teacher (after Gabe)

Actually, no one calls him Coach Smith, everyone just calls him Dean (yes even the students)

The Issue With Theatre Club

Okay so, everyone talks about how people who do sports are, like the hottest on campus. But have you seen some theatre kids? Most of them are in BOTH sports and theatre, but that’s not what makes them attractive, no no no. It’s fact that...okay so I’m not sure what makes them hot, but I’ll give you an example. I don’t want to name names, so let's call him John. 

So John is this new guy who’s Brittish. Already...you know...yeah so anyway, he’s playing Oberon in our school’s version of MSND. I was standing in for Titania because she wasn’t there, and this guy, looks me right in the eye, half swaggered over to me and said (in a Brittish accent mind you) “Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania”. That shouldn’t be allowed.

Or this girl, let’s call her Erika, she looked like an emo teenager, but with clear skin, a nice tan and really nice hair. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY! This should be illegal.

You know what? It’s really like that sometimes.

the penalty box in hockey is such a funny concept to me. big fighty men go in the naughty cube. imprisoned for sports crimes

Spider-Sona

I’ve been trying to get human proportions more accurate when drawing. So here’s a spider-sona that I’m quite proud of. 

August 21st is Fanfic Writer’s Appreciation Day  💕

Let’s be honest - we all forget to leave a comment sometimes. We don’t always go out of our way to click the “come talk to me on tumblr” link on AO3 to scream about the fic in the author’s inbox. On August 21st I encourage you to take a moment and show fanfic writers that you appreciate them!

How can you do it?

leave a comment and kudos on every fic you finish reading. Doesn’t matter how short. Doesn’t matter if you’re just repeating what other people have already said. Just be kind! Keysmashing, Caps Lock, and live commenting appreciated! (Bonus points if you leave a comment on every chapter)

ideas for what to put in a comment: one | two

floaty review box for ao3 (super useful for commenting as you read + it has a ‘review tips’ button if you feel stuck)

reblog ficlets, drabbles, fics, fic rec posts, etc. Put a nice comment in the tags. Remember that likes, while appreciated, don’t give the writer any exposure, meaning the posts don’t reach more people

go to your local fanfic writer’s inbox and talk to them about their fic of your choice. Let them know how long ago you’ve read it and what story point/sentence/scene still makes you smile when you think about it

send thank you messages to fic writers. In a world where you have to pay for almost everything, they’re supplying you with countless hours of free entertainment. It can get quite lonely without getting messages acknowledging the hours they spend writing stories - let them know their time and effort is appreciated

make fic rec posts and @ the authors whose fics you’re recommending! (believe me, fic writers love to see their stories in these posts)

create something inspired by a fic! You can draw fanart, make a moodboard or aesthetic post, or even write a song for the fic you love. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro doesn’t matter - the thought alone is what counts more than anything <3

buy the writer a coffee if they have a ko-fi page and you have some change lying around c: Caffeine keeps most fic writers awake when they struggle with a particularly slow draft or a difficult scene. More coffee, more content.

These are only some ideas out of the sea of possible ways to appreciate fanfic writers. On August 21st show the writers in your fandom(s) some love <3
