omg
Jessie
(it's a joke don't worry - this student has taken a class with me before and is trying to make me laugh)
Jessie
but it worked (LOL)
Jessie
I have a lot of repeat students in this group and I'm like ";-; you like me??"
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
LOL
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
That is so sweet aaaaah it's always so nice when someone comes to you on purpose. Like they know you and still want to see your face and have you teach them stuff? That's great.
Jessie
I suspect I also am gaining a reputation for being easy because one of the repeat faces got a pity pass last semester
Jessie
but eh it's a mixed enough group that I have to shoot for the middle so I don't lose the people who went pale at the idea of reading more than one book
☼ ᴠɪʟ
i'm sitting here like "student, if you can validate this feeling with sources, jessie will accept it"
☼ ᴠɪʟ
but i'm glad they are in joking with you!!
Jessie
lmao I absolutely will accept it
dragillionaire
LOL omg. that's a helluva response
dragillionaire
that's really nice you have this kind of comraderie with your students ;; what a good feel
Jessie
one of them just left and when it was just us in the room she blurted out "YOU'RE JUST LIKE WHAT THEY SAID ON RATE MY PROFESSOR" and I'm like "oh god what did they say about me D:"
Jessie
I'm curious but I've done a lot of damage to myself on that website and decided I prefer not knowing what students say about me there (LOL)
Jessie
apparently the gossip is that I'm chill
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
the gossip here is that I am a hardass lol
Jessie
(LOL) I cannot picture that
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
me as a hardass? aww
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
well, I mean I kinda am. I am stricter than some of the others but I can be fun if they are pulling their weight? might get a bit pissy if they are not doing anything xD
Jessie
yeah, I get pissy too. I fully yelled at some people last semester
Jessie
grown men twice my size crying (unsure)
Sharkleberry
good fir you jessie!
Sharkleberry
they sound like they had it coming.
inadequate tits
amazing
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
haha, I rarely get those here since our oldest usually are like 18 but I do that too
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
mostly I think I am not strict enough lol
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
not sure which part of this gem is my favorite 🧐🤔
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
maybe the assumption that federal agents would be totally down for a good old fashioned book burning?
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
maybe the line about "fuck [they] hit different"?
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
idk, the whole damn thing is just gold lmao
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
this kid is a winner 😂

hobbats
I would absolutely give full points for this answer.
hobbats
"I don't try and justify my intelligence to you" fkjafkla
Jessie
LOL yeah, Northanger Abbey is about a Hermione Granger type that is like "books are better than people and I have no patience for human interaction" and then she bumps into a victorian romance and it's all over
Jessie
that's a fully valid reading of that quote even without the aid of having context for it
Jessie
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕 : also omg HELLO how are you??
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
hey!!! I'm deep in the trenches of toddler life but overall ok lol
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
how are YOU?
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
also lmfao "that's a fully valid reading of that quote"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
is it tho
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
is it 🤣
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
let me uh. just read it one more time here...
Jessie
(LOL)
Jessie
I mean. maybe not proportional
Jessie
but "fuck you Jane Austin you're not the boss of me" is a valid way to react
Jessie
toddler life though!! that's a lot of baby
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
lmfao ok ok I'll give you that
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
it is! she's a trip
Jessie
my uncle had a baby a year ago and he's in the "basically is a cat" phase rn
Jessie
sitting up and staring at you like he's judging everything but is probably just trying to psychically compel you to bring him snacks
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
I don't think mine ever had that phase but it's a cute one
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
and yes God yes so many snacks lol
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
mine is in the talks up a storm and wants to learn about everything phase, which I enjoy
Jessie
(LOL) my uncle's wife and I are both cat people so it's like "dangly things and crinkle toys we've got this!"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
she pretends to be a different baby animal each day, and must be referred to by that name, as in Baby Badger, Baby Rat, etc
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
rofl omg yes
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
I bet you're adorable omg
Jessie
baby badger oh my god precious
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
she was a Baby Fire Truck the other day, which I think might be my favorite "animal" so far
Jessie
baby fire truck
Jessie
I love this child
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
she gave her wet diaper a pat and informed me, "baby fire truck pee"
Jessie
very responsible
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
she cracks me up lol
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
still doesn't sleep much but we'll get there, maybe
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
but how are you? when you're not defending "Jane Austen you pretentious prick" I mean
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
which
Jessie
(LOL)(LOL)
Jessie
I'm hanging in there! life got dramatic, then health got dramatic, then roleplay got dramatic, so I'm currently in a "manage your energy" phase
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
oh no
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
that's a lot of dramatics
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
good for you for knowing when to pull back tbh
Jessie
working on a game setting, putting the Legos together one by one and eventually I'll be like "look at my Lego house do you want to play with your dolls inside of it"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
ooh that's such a nice phase
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
and everyone will knock down your door to throw their Barbies into a big heap on your living room floor lol
Jessie
yeah I'm changing the things that are in my power to change
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
I like that mentality a lot
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
I think you'd do an excellent job. you've got all the right skill sets
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
would love to hear more about it when you're ready to share
Jessie
I mean!!! I hope to accept barbies from all over! but then it's like "maybe I should be prepared for lots of barbies but also realistically plan for like 4 barbies"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
you will have more than 4 Barbies lol
Jessie
oh its not a secret I've been taking feedback in a public plurk while I work on it
Jessie
super messy and unfinished but this is what I've got so far
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
me pulling it up like omg is that Clark fucking gable
Jessie
sure is
Jessie
Clark gable is your evil overlord and he frankly does not give a damn
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
casino and hotel yes yes yes
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
corruption and secrets, yes
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
so it's like an upstairs downstairs hotel California vibe?
Jessie
I think it works as a sandbox atm (I don't think the locations page is linked to nav yet but it's the most recent post in the community. what's there at least (LOL) VERY unfinished)
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
"Can my character buy weapons?

The Elysium does not have any shops which provide any weapons beyond novelty items for children. However, there is a thriving black market, and certainly someone with an eye for seedier spaces might come to meet some seedier people"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
oh look you see me
Jessie
oh I didn't finish my actual sentence - I think it works as a sandbox and I have events in mind but I'm struggling to thread the needle in terms of like. "how much metaplot needs to happen here" and "what is characters' motivation"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
yeah I hear you
Jessie
lmao there's always someone who wants to know if they can get weapons and do a murder
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
I've only modded twice but struggled w those myself so yeah
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
look I don't need to do the murder lol
Jessie
it's in my head!!! but people aren't psychic and I need to get it out of my head and explain it in a way that isn't overbearing
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
but you can't play the joker and not have weapons and seedy people in play
Jessie
and like. "how does this translate into something I can have threads about"
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
god yeah
Jessie
I was originally going to have a tdm up around now for apps in February but lol it's not ready yet still so it'll keep being in limbo until I'm ready to announce it in a more formal way
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
yeah, makes sense to wait for a full launch until you feel ready
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
but I'm proud of you! it looks good
𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚊𝚕
time to make another meal for my Baby Hungry Bear lol but thank you for sharing! I'll read it in more detail when I have a little more time, but so far looks great
Jessie
feed the beast and give her a hug!
Jessie
and thank you ;-;
