from-james-to-lily:

i need a jily AU where james and lily are both first year graduate students

  • james is a math major
  • lily is a chemistry major
  • lily is taking her midterm in class for her physical chemistry class
  • it’s quite possibly the hardest class she’s ever taken
  • why is there so much math
  • why
  • because of the exam, classrooms and times are rearranged and the typical statistical physics class that meets here was canceled
  • but james, not reading the emails, saunters in twenty minutes late
  • what an idiot lily thinks as she hears somebody walk in
  • he doesn’t even realize he’s in the wrong class
  • oh there’s a midterm? hm, i could’ve sworn it was next week
  • the teaching assistant just smirks, hands him the 26-page exam packet
  • james finds an empty seat and realizes he forgets a pencil
  • he taps the redhead sitting next to him for a pencil
  • lily looks up
  • kill me he’s cute
  • why are all the stupid ones cute
  • she all but throws an old green pencil at him
  • she goes back to problem three, confused out of her mind
  • maybe i’ll just take up baking i could make a living off baking ugh why didn’t i study harder what does this symbol even mean again
  • she doesn’t even notice he’s flipping through the pages, scribbling some answers and derivations
  • an hour into the exam, he sits up and turns in the test and leaves
  • does he just not care

    lily screams in her head how did he even get into this university

  • finally, after the eighty minutes were up, she turns in her exam with utter defeat
  • a week later, her professor announces the top score, a 96%, beating the rest of the class by solid 20% margin
  • how on earth does anyone get 96% on that exam, it was impossible!
  • her professor continues: “to a mr. james potter”
  • the class of fifty looks around: who the heck is james potter
  • after a moment of confusion and nobody claiming the test
  • lily turns red
  • that was him
  • halfway across campus, james potter walks into his organic chemistry elective course with an old green pencil behind his ear
  • man i hate organic chemistry

why is it humans not humen

bc “human” comes from a latin root (homo > humanus > humaine > human) and “man” (and thus “men”) comes from a germanic root (mann > man) 

so you get humans, not humen, since “humans” doesn’t play by germanic rules

look at that i asked a question and i got an answer THANKS

English isn’t a language, it’s three languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat.

That is the best description of the English Language I’ve ever seen. Thank you for that

There is a certain booth in a certain Denny’s haunted by the ghost of Andy Jones. His tortured soul remains barred from the afterlife lest he settle his unfinished business, an unfinished glass of Fanta. At certain times of night you can hear him. “sip”…”sip”…”sip”. But like Sisyphus and his boulder, every time Andy’s Fanta nears the bottom of the glass, a server comes by to top him off. Always tending to the refills. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Trapping him forever in this ether between the realms of the living and the dead.

this is both just this website’s level of surrealist humor and a great advertisement for the attentiveness of denny’s wait staff on giving free refills and I frankly dont know how to handle it

BLACK AND WHITE TO COLOR SOULMATE AU

Okay okay so basically this is the soulmate AU where you see black and white until you see your soulmate AU.

And of course the soulmate thing adds to the love square.

  • Marinette first sees color when she is very young. She is walking down the street and is faced with a huge Agreste Brand poster starring the young Adrien Agreste. 
  • Adrien first sees color when he meets Ladybug. Right when she falls onto him, his world is full of color and he’s ecstatic since he thought that due to his limited contact with people, he believed he would never find her.
  • One day Marinette hears Adrien talk to Nino about soulmates, but is saddened to hear that he met his soulmate the day before school started, so she believes it’s impossible for her to be his.
  • Chat Noir asks Ladybug when she first saw color, hoping that it would be the same day that he saw her, but she then tells him that she’s seen color ever since she was a little girl.
  • love square and angst ensues.
