GOD i hate this idea that not graduating when anticipated is considered “late” or “not on time” because it only just reinforces the stigma of being behind, not being as good as your peers, etc and it’s garbage! if you graduate at a time later than you had anticipated, youre still worthy of respect and you still graduated, whether it was a semester, a year, or thirty years down the line
My favourite characterisation of Spark is when most of the time he’s the standard dopey meme loving fuck who dabs and acts immature etc but when something serious happens he absolutely wrecks shit, then goes straight back to memeing five minutes later
