I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

Autumn Blaze takes a human history class. The professor deserves a pay raise.


I thank the pre-readers, but won't implicate them by name.

That poor professor is going to take up drinking at this rate.

Or by the end of the semester he's going to have a dead eyed look when she threatens to set the classroom on fire and calls her bluff. Hell, if it's not a bluff he might just calmly evacuate around the burning classroom as everyone else panics already writing up the incident report.

Or they go in halfies and write the Nature paper together.

Autumn's Believe It Or Not, coming soon to a YouTube channel near you.

Okay...dummy, let's review: You allowed what is basically a mythical creature into your classroom, gave her a prominent seat, did ZERO research on her race, then posed leading questions about mythology and you're surprised she had conflicting answers?!

...no wonder you don't have tenure...

I'm with the professor, while I would LOVE to sit down with her and discuss possible connections between our worlds, compare notes, possible class discussions, I would not even begrudge her doing a presentation of her own.

That being said, her constant interruptions and colorful discussions wouldn't be appreciated DURING CLASS. And that bit at the end COULD be taken as a threat which could invoke me contacting campus security and possible expulsion from the class if not the university.

Autumn Blaze is like Pinkie Pie but without a filter and a lot of repressed energy (from the silent years).

yup. In my notes she was "fire!pinkie, reality bender, happy to be learning."

Goddamn it Sock.

Was worried I'd forget why I love Autumn Blaze so much.

Thank goodness this story was published in my time of need. Would love to share a class with her.

This was hilarious, made my day! :rainbowlaugh:

Okay, that was hilarious :pinkiehappy:

Oh, so that's where Kirin Beer Greek Fire comes from! :pinkiegasp:

Autumn Blaze should learn to control herself a bit more.

Interesting story! I was hoping it would play out a bit longer though

Thank you!

And with comedy, it's best to write shorter than you think you need, to ensure the jokes don't wear thin or wear out their welcome. I see these little fics I write as the prose version of a Monty Python or Key and Peele sketch: they need to be smart, sharp, and mostly, short, to work.

Okay, that was friggin' funny. Though I will admit, I'm with 11493919— if Autumn was willing to wait until after the main points of the prof's presentation were finished and not interrupt him at every corner, I'm sure he would've been much more open to hearing her side of things.

"It means," Autumn Blaze said, "he's overworked, underpaid, and has to sell his blood plasma to eat."

Fun fact: if you went to a state school, your professors' salaries are all public information since they're government employees. Go look up your favorite teachers and feel sorry for them.

This got a chuckle out of me. :moustache:

Sock, no!

But on a (marginally) more serious note:

"I'm 'Autumn Blaze.' It's a mononym, not a first and last name. But it has a space bar in the middle of the mononym. A spacebaronym."

That's the cutest, and most in-character thing I've ever read.

Autumn Blaze was Season 8's gift to crackfic writers.

Kirin pee is beer Greek fire.

Actually, probably not that simple.
She would have needed to Nirik it up a bit, similar to how enzymes turn starch into composite sugars.

So Kirin pee is still beer.
But throw some Nirik flame into it and you have Greek fire.

You know...

After reading this, I am of the firm opinion college and university post-secondary education would be a lot more...interesting with G4 attendees in the classes...

Luna explaining orbital mechanics in the Astrophysicist educational track would be hilarious...

This was a hoot! Made me laugh a lot!

She walked to the front of the classroom and put the two liter bottle, now filled with a clear liquid, onto the lectern. "I made some Greek Fire. Give me an 'A' and I won't prove it."

I’d be interested in seeing her prove it. :p

"I could stand to see a little more..."
~Jayne Cobb Firefly

It's been awhile now...

Isn’t anyone but me going to bring up the WiFi...??

"I made some Greek Fire. Give me an 'A' and I won't prove it."

Ok I laughed WAY to hard at this 🤣
