I like non-SGRUG / humanstuck AUs where the kids don’t get to be ~famous movie directors~ or ~highly skilled experts with 3 PhDs~ but just, like, work in a bank or in a bakery or sth normal like that and generally their INTERESTS didn’t translate into a Profession they are highly successful in and gain tons of money and fame from

BUT

an AU where medical students Jade Harley and Kanaya Maryam. They did the anatomy course together, maybe, they both were very unafraid to get their hands dirty and very hard working. They did pretty good! At that point Kanaya maybe still thinks she’ll go into Obstetrics. Idk why, maybe a family background, maybe the young student line of thought that she totally already knows her calling, and what’s calling her is pregnant people and reproductive rights! She knows!

Except obviously, where Kanaya’s heart really will be at is Orthopedic Surgery. She’ll do one internship and know that’s her thing. Cut open bones with heavy bonesaws and replace broken hip joints. Take a kid’s broken knee, cut it all open and fix it. She’s got the stamina and the strength and the I see a problem I fix a problem mindset. She’d love it. She’d have real fun doing her work.

Now as for Jade, Jade is brilliant and can do and be anything she wants, of course, but maybe she’ll drop out anyway. Do something else entirely. Everybody puts Jade into physics and they are right. Jade would carve her way where no paths exist. Whatever she does, I see her less working in actual health care and more in developing new medical tech, probably.

Though she also could be that brilliant that she stays to research and teach at university and becomes that one really demanding but also incredibly inspiring Anatomy Professor. After all we’ve got one Sylph of Space who heals space, and one Witch of Space who manipulates & understands space. Fitting!

Imagine, Professor Harley, an energetic woman, maybe a bit scary at first glance, kickass long grey hair, wow, that hair!! You all fall in love with her a bit. Kind of abrasive, at first, but she’s just really good and fair and caring where it matters. And her tall, strong wife, Kanaya Maryam. Quieter than Harley, but also arguably scarier, who’s an Orthopedic Surgeon and a good person. If you ever have to deal with her, you’ll know how good she is. They are long past their dorky, hesitant teenage years but not past their dorky interests. They are neither ‘elegant’ nor ‘dignified’, but they are very there in their bodies and the space they take up in a way that demands respect and you’d love them for it. You’d love that they so visibly exist in such a place. With their kickass hair and their strong arms and unashamed to love, it’s as if because they are so there, you have a bit more space, too.
