Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didn’t respond so she said it louder and he still didn’t respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said “I can’t understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.”
HOLY SHIT
one time we had a sub that was handing back papers and called my name. I asked if someone could grab it for me and she started mocking me for not even standing up. taunting me asking why I was not walking up to the front to get the paper myself.
my classmates went dead silent and after the sub’s laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me
I had a sub in English once, on presentation day. And everyone goes up and does their thing, and then its my turn. The whole time im stuttering and mixing up my words, having to stop and re-say my sentences. The rest of the class is used to this and claps. However, by the time its over, the teacher is 100% done.
Starts saying horrible thing about how im going to have to get over my ‘fear of public speaking’ and how she’s heard 8 year olds give better presentations (plus worse things but I don’t really member them). By then im in tears and on the brink of a panic attack, and then she starts telling me off for crying
The rest of the class is horrified. Then this boy stands up. He never been my friend and we never really got along, but he’d never bullied me. He told her in a pissed off, cold voice that in freshmen year I got a concussion and that I never really recovered from it, so all that was medical related and I couldn’t help it. Then he starts telling her off and the rest of the class joins him.
The teacher is mortified and tries to cover her ass, but the whole class walked out and that boy took me by the shoulders and we all walked to the principles office and told him what had happened. Lets just say she isn’t teaching anymore.
Also, turns out that boy had a sister like me, who couldn’t really speak. We’ve been best friends for 8 years and i’ll be his best woman at his wedding next year.
The moral is that Teachers, even subs, and adults shouldn’t scold kids before knowing the whole story, because shit like that can fuck up kids self-esteem for the rest of their life.
“Hold me back! It’ll be hard for them to post SHIT opinions after a break their hands with a hammer! Fucking, HOLD ME BACK!!!”
if your only kid suddenly showed abilities of great power at the cost of breaking his bones each time he used it and was in a school that was being targeted by legit villains and you saw him break all his fingers TWICE in a row while fighting in a tournament on live tv, you would probably be an emotional mess too
arm socks are Always worth it. if you cant make them yourself, buy them online. there is no amount of powder or final seal (in my experience with ben nye and kryolan) that will keep paint on your hands and arms
know the different types of paint available to you. ben nye is relatively cheap and easy to use, and is waterproof if you seal it right, but is Hell to remove. also imo it feels disgusting on your skin. kryolan is water-based and a lot lighter in feel than ben nye, which i like. ime it’s a Lot messier and more smudgy than ben nye though (esp if you sweat a lot) so i dont recommend it if you’re cosplaying, say, gamzee or kurloz and want crisp lines (these are just my experiences though; i don’t cosplay regularly so i recommend doing your own research)
test ahead of time and if possible make sure your arm socks match your paint. its not a huge deal if they dont but it does look better, i promise
i suggest practicing eating w/ lipstick on if you’re not used to it, just because it’s a pain to have to reapply if you want to eat at a con
HERE YOU GO KIDDOS THIS IS AN ASK I ANSWERED A WHILE AGO !!!!! EDUCATE URSELVES. ive been doing this for years and i had to learn shit the hard way!!! listen to this advice so you dont have to struggle like most homestuck cosplayers did back in the day!
the fact were back to yelling cosplay tips at people says so much. WHY ARNT WE A DEAD FANDOM YET END THIS
because!!! if u arent aware literally homestuck cosplayers not sealing their paint at conventions has actually caused vandalism problems it was a HUGE issue and lots of conventiones had to fuckin.. change convention rules to adapt to a bunch of grey 12 year olds running around and ruining the venue. hiveswap is going to invite new ppl into the fandom and this needs to be said
Why Venom Snake always putting shit on his face?? The average person’s face does NOT get this bloody in a fight, Snake. Snake. Snake? What are you doing with those ashes, Snake? SNAKE, NO
