poke bosses teacher au

Giovanni: lawful evil foreign language teacher. don’t talk in his class he will kick your ass to the detention hall so fast. makes you ask to go to the bathroom in italian and won’t let you go unless you get it perfectly. your homework is due on friday? he wants it no later than thursday. persian sleeps under the desk. no you can’t pet it. no it’s not allowed to be there but are you gonna tell giovanni ‘no’??? all the moms love him on parent-teacher evenings.

Archie: chaotic good gym teacher. you wanna sit this one out? yeah sure just make up for it by cleaning up the pitch afterwards nbd. if students start going at each other he just starts chanting “fight! fight! fight!” yells across the pitch at full volume just to tell someone that they’re doing great. dodgeball every friday. for the love of all that is holy don’t get him started on the ocean. still mad that the school won’t let him build a pool.

Maxie: chaotic neutral geography teacher. “buckle up kids because today we’re talking about rocks.” gets side tracked talking about how global warming is gonna end us all. intentionally marks stuff as incorrect if he doesn’t like the student. never lets the class watch videos unless they’re ten years old and cheesey as fuck. will whisper test answers to crying students. still mad that the school won’t let him take a field trip to a volcano.

Cyrus: lawful neutral physics teacher. marks everything so precisely that you get marked down for using the wrong ink colour and writing outside the box. “i’m gonna spend the entire period talking about how wrong you are, jeremy.“ if you fall asleep in his class he lets you rest and writes down what you missed but expects you to catch up. if students try to talk about their problems he literally has no idea how to respond and just ends up going “that’s rough, buddy.”

Ghetsis: chaotic evil history teacher. probably lived through all the events he’s teaching. “this will be on the test.” it wasn’t on the test. laughs evilly during the test days when he knows what he taught wasn’t on the test. definitely should not be around children. his son brings in cookies every so often and things get super awkward. totally wears that dumbass cape to class and if you laugh at him he calls your parents.

Lysandre: lawful good business teacher. gets super pissy if he sees you using your phone in class. gets into fights with mr sakaki over whether pyroar or persian is better and drags his students into the debate. you get detention if you say persian. complains loudly in french. don’t ask him about mr sycamore he won’t shut up. gets mad when people say his name wrong. stylish as fuck, seriously, you’re in class, why are you dressed so nice???

Guzma: chaotic neutral substitute teacher. you should totally check out his mixtape. you don’t want to? he’ll show you anyway. he knows you’re supposed to be studying for the test, but he just puts on a movie and takes a nap. “oh shit, quick, open your textbooks and pretend to look busy.” sells cheat sheets during lunch break. actually super supportive if students are going through a rough time??? will absolutely fight mr harmonia.

Writing x Characters When You Aren’t x, A Masterlist

x: a variable used to represent something unknown.

We’ve seen an influx of questions about how to write stories based around characters of color, disability, non-binary, etc. when the author does not fall into these categories. Rather than have these posts take over the site, we’ve decided to compile a list of resources to help our fellow writers become more educated about writing what they do not immediately know. However, this list is not the end-all-be-all of knowledge; one should always try to learn from someone with first hand experience in any topic. The world is constantly growing and changing, and because of that, there will always be more to learn. The admins at Plotline Hotline want to help writers form respectful, informed, and realistic characters that broaden the narrow range we see in literature today. 

*Be wary that some of the topics listed below contain sensitive material. Reader discretion is advised.* 

As always, the links I found to be especially apt will be in bold. Topics are listed alphabetically, excepting the “other” section.

CANDYMAN, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been.
