i'm thinking that with the headmaster being genderless, inhuman, and not entirely capable of grasping human tribal politics, sage canyon would become a magnet for those who don't fit in elsewhere. no one would be able to get away with discriminating against muggleborns or genderqueer students or based on skin color or anything like that, because the headmaster would always judge the case on the facts, and would simply, completely fail to comprehend what is 'unacceptable' or 'disruptive' about a child having the group-membership markers of a demographic that is not, in fact, banned or subject to formal enmity in any way. and having to explain themselves to an infinitely patient entity that honestly has no clue what they're talking about... well, bigoted teachers tend to get embarrassed and look for other postings.
Except for the ancient bigoted granny teacher, who is shameless. (She's got tenure probably) (Huh, reminds me of my old World Music teacher) That definitely works for the types of people in the character deal right now, too, based on the gender config points alone.
yeah, the headmaster isn't going to fire a teacher for being bigoted, it just keeps making them explain their remarks. granny doesn't mind explaining, so she sticks around. and she doesn't get to actually do the, you know, "one million points from gryffindor because i never got to fuck potter's mom" thing, because that is not a listed reason for moving digits from one collective number stack to another.
Granny lives in hope that one day she'll convert the headmaster to her own personal batshit denomination of a heavily fire-and-brimstone brand of Baptism
the headmaster is extremely curious about religion as a concept, and attends granny's bible study class regularly, although its questions are often embarrassing for everyone but granny.
Oh! I was going to talk about this earlier and then I checked facebook and tumblr and my emails and watched half a season of 30 rock and forgot But! Do we have owls? Pigeons? Since this is the southwest, my head decided that falcons are a great idea, but there's also foxes. messenger foxes ... we could fox them Spoiler: Spoiler: gif from best movie of all time #this is unironically my favorite movie
The bible study class is surprisingly popular, and also at least 50% non believers at this point. "Just gimme a sec, I have to fox this letter!"
i'd be fine. It's just really cheery evil people creep me out a lot more. though it might be fun? I was really tired last night sorry
yeah. i'm now wondering how differently the second wizarding war would have gone if hogwarts was run by a horror.
I am totally gonna put my apathetic towards religion wixen into the bible study group. The foxes would be great.
Shush, nothing to apologize for. Also thought, there might be several entities trying to take over the school/portal to wtfverse one after another? So you might have a human wizard, a smiling god, and something from the other side of the portal, sometimes getting into each others way.
ideas for a thing. add if you want A MESSAGE FROM THE SENIORS TO THE FRESHMEN #advice #that teacher 1) we are aware of The Thing In The Lake worship The Thing In The Lake 2)the headmaster has no face. accept this. 3) [English teacher] is bigoted. we are aware. she also makes great tea and cupcakes. agree before hand what gender y'all are presenting as as a group. her bible studies group is fascinating. 4) avoid crow > avoid coyotes >> coyotes are awesome and crowd are shifty >>>*caws loudly >>>>*howl >>>>> turtle things you're being stupid. >>>>>> sorry >>>>>>> sorry
I just like this idea. Like "Wait, you're here? But it was my turn to wreak awful vengeance and take my proper place as the blood-sworn unholy ruler of the universe!"
