Wooooooooo
Cheerio!Kurt Masterlist

I have a massive soft spot for cheerleader!Kurt since I've been rewatching the series, and I'm sure I can't be the only one. This list has zero organization so far, and it's not so much a recslist as it is things I read and did not despise. Note: I don't ship Klaine in the extremely negative, , and considering these are 90% Klaine should give you some idea of my obsession.

*I am seriously not adding any Cheerio!Kurt/Nerd!Blaine fics that became all the rage about three seconds after I first posted this list to tumblr. If a fic gets recced to me by about ten different people I might check it out and then consider it, but that shit is so incredibly OOC it's like sticking pink sunglasses on Blaine and giving him a HP obsession.

So I took the Praxis II on Saturday. It was horrible. Like, I am going to get a terrible score and never get into grad school and will default on my car note and end up homeless. And I can't even find a "this is an average score, the test is out of xxx points" page. It's all people asking what the passing grade for their state is. Which is fine, but not what I need.

Like I said, terrible. Stuff I haven't thought about since I was eleven and in the eighth grade. Stuff like "if a goat is tied in the center of a square field of perimeter 32 with a rope of 5 meters, what percentage of the field can it reach?" Some random dude and I practically wept in one another's arms when we left 063.

Theory of Numbers is kicking my ass. It's like I don't even know where to begin with any of the proofs and my test scores are in freefall. If I can just pull a, idk, 75 out of the test on Thursday I'll probably pass the class. I wanted a B though ;_;

Only one of my recommendations are done, and it's annoying me. I know people are busy but it honestly takes half an hour to hammer out a paragraph saying I don't suck. I'm going to go begging another professor to make one for me so hopefully it will all work out.

AGH. Well, I'm off to my class then the bible study that I'm pretty sure is a thin cover for a bunch of catholic students to sit in a room and bitch. And compare jewelry.

So I'm importing everything I've ever written to AO3. And a lot of it...is not very good. Like, is kind of terrible. But it's more dishonest to censor my Jaina/Jag domestic violence than it is to just put out Dolorosa and pretend I only suck a little bit.

Eh, SO MUCH STUFF TO DO. So of course this is how I procrastinate.

So...I'm done with everything except this religion essay I'm writing right now, except!! my next linear test is on the 2nd. Aghhhhhhhhh

I kind of want to hide. Also, I got stuck on an elevator today. *freaks out*

I hate this religion class. It's not even overrun with fundies of the Christian type, it's a lot of post-Christian people with zero reasoning skills. And the Hindu guy who has issues with understanding the vast scope of Christianity and also how while yeah, Hindus may accept the Christian god so ~everyone is Christian, or whatever, that very idea is anathema to Christian thinking and also my head hurts. And the Muslim girl who proudly mentioned female circumcision because it's more ~equal than just male circumcision.

*goes back to essay writing*

ALSO OF COURSE THIS ESSAY IS INFLAMMATORY YOU IDIOTS YOU WERE ONLY NINE WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE SHIT GOING DOWN IN THIS COUNTRY THEN AND EVERYTHING WE'VE LEARNED SINCE THEN.

I'm totally supposed to be doing homework and working on my resumé right now, but I've been reading fic and now I need to bitch.

I love D/s fic. I love the BDSM AUs.

I'm really fucking sick of BDSM AUs as thinly disguised issue fic about the patriarchy. Like, really. Not because it shouldn't be discussed and valid points are occasionally made. No, because they fucking suck and I don't want to read about insert-character-here being some self-hating damaged sub because all the tops are terrible except for this one! Who is amazing! And lets the sub have boundaries and shit.

you just wrote a Nice Guy into your fic about the patriarchy, good job.

These fics also depress the *shit* out of me. BDSM AUs are my happy place, where there are uber tops and people are told to get down on their knees unironically. And here we have fic where I can literally see the checkboxes the designated SJW-author is ticking off so zie can win points for being so ~deep and ~thought-provoking. Just stop, okay?

Edit:

Having had another two hours to stew in my own juices, I have a few thoughts to add to why the bother the shit out of me.

First, these things are not equivalent. You simply cannot overlay dom/sub over male/female. So many things go wrong, especially when cissexist heteronormatism follows you right into your desire to write about how hard it is for two tops to love one another. It *doesn't work*. I've written and erased about five paragraphs of my hand-flailing on how homosexuality is not equivalent to two doms or subs or what the fuck ever. And I'm offended that you suggested it was so.

Second, I get the feeling that a lot of these authors either don't understand power dynamics or distrust them at their core, which lends everything a really creepy non-con vibe that shouldn't be there.

...And seriously, Morgan as a first-wave feminist? You have *got to be fucking kidding me*.

So it's crunch time, totally not inspired by my incredibly dwindling bank account, and I'm desperately trying to write my resumé and apply for jobs. The thing is (and I'm applying to other shit too) is that in order to teach you have to be licensed or take the "alternative path to certification" which basically means passing a shit easy test and have a BS in the subject. I just don't actually have the BS yet, although I will be finished in December and have my degree in hand in May.

Also, fucking resumés. Really. I have nine years customer service experience, five years hands on accounting experience, have worked with managing and directing teenagers for a fucking eon, and I read/write Spanish fluently. But I CANNOT WRITE MY GODDAMN RESUMÉ. I'm writing what I can tonight, going to take it by the centre at the school tomorrow, I guess, along with dropping by the language department tomorrow to see about minoring in Spanish. Because I'd only need like three more 3000-level classes. I could take a full load of 18 hours and have a major, I think.

I just want to not have panic attacks when I look at my bank balance and wonder where the fuck all the money went.

School is kicking my ass. I spend four days doing nothing but studying. I haven't written anything for my bigbang and I think the draft is due like tomorrow, so oh well there. I've got my linear midterm this evening and my brain feels too numb to study. It's like I pop open my brain at about eleven AM and freakily absorb information for eight hours. It's a really strange sensation.

I'm trying to watch H50 and Suits but frankly they just bore me. And Glee sucks this season (and last season, but Santana is <3). Prentiss is back on CM, and I'm looking forward to the storylines this season. I watched the first season of Cougartown, and it was funny, but it also makes me really uncomforable.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.


Okay. I'm trying to get all these things out before the round ends but also, kink bigbang is coming up and I can't let the characters rescue Prentiss because I can't write fifty thousand words in two months (or a year). So I'm almost done with two shorts, and I'm working on a recs list for one prompt, but here is the first thing:






I'm not a vidder, at all, but I really really wanted to make one, so there you go. Prompt is "dress up", starring my favouritest unsub from Criminal Minds, with added García and company being snarky. It's forty seconds of Creed, so I'm not actually expecting anyone to watch, but eh.
