Modern Feminism: From Susan B Anthony to Bea Arthur - Second Period - 09/05

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

As the students filed into the classroom, a certain song played on repeat until everyone was there. And then for a little while longer because it amused Deadpool so very much.

"Oh Bea, is there anything you can't do?" He sighed dreamily, gazing off at a spot that very well might be a thought bubble with her image in it, but that's neither here nor there.

"Gooooood morning kiddies! And welcome to Modern Feminism! I hope you're all here to learn about the women who made our lives so much easier. Your lives. The womenfolk. As I am of the Y chromosome persuasion." Deadpool coughed awkwardly, vaguely wondering if having a husband made him teaching this class okay with the womenfolk.

Okay, so he just liked the phrase womenfolk.

(Womenfolk. Heh.)

"Today, being the first day, is, as always, a blow off. Because if I didn't make it so, I'd have to egg my own house," He told them seriously. "So let's get started on the condescending intro activities and introduce ourselves! Tell everyone your name, why you're here, why Bea Arthur is a goddess among women, and what your strong womyn-- that's with a y, by the way-- name is."

Haku

Talk Amongst Yourselves

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Or enjoy the music, the beautiful music.

Haku hid his head on the desk and groaned. That song was going to be in his head the rest of the day.

Jenny toyed with the idea of electrocuting the stereo, but decided to save that for if the music continued throughout class.

Okay. Even Turtle, She who Practically Worshipped the Ground Mister Deadpool Walked On (And Then Would Try to Sell it on E-Bay) might have been boggling just a weeeeeee tiny bit.

Demyx was very tempted to play other music to drown Deadpool's music out. But that would be bad to do the first day of class, right?

Ron just stared at Deadpool and wondered why an insane person was teaching class.

Anathema wondered if Deadpool's outfit wasn't a touch uncomfortable.

Faile just stared.

Mac was slouched on the desk, trying to subtly block out the sound. Well, that song now wasn't going to leave her head for the rest of the day.

All she really had to be thankful for, was that at least this time he wasn't going to try and make her into America's Next Top Model.

Dawn realized she maybe should have expected this--he was, after all, Rikku's favorite teacher and mentor.

And now she was wondering if there was a Bea Arthur version of Cuban Pete.

Meg just stared.

You would think that cell phones and a guy who sets himself on fire would have prepared Beauty for meeting Deadpool.

You would be wrong.

Jack was certain he was in the wrong class. Why is the professor wearing pajamas? He stared.

Robin reflected on how he'd never actually met Bea Arthur.

In order, or so help Deadpool, he will kill you where you stand!

...

Or mock you. One of those two.

"My name is Haku. I am here because I signed up for this class, I've never heard of a religion worshipping a B. Arthur, but Professor Deadpool seems to be it's only suplicant and again my name is Haku."

Demyx waved at Deadpool. "I'm Demyx; I'm here so I can drive Professor Deadpool's car again. This is the right class for that, right?" He pulled a much-battered printout out of a pocket and studied it. "...Oh, no, different subject. Anyway! Um, I'm Demyx, I don't know who the Bee woman is, and I'm a boy - I don't have a girly name. Marluxia's kinda girly, though."

"My name is Jenny Sparks, I'm here because my schedule got hacked, Bea Arthur is a goddess among women because the teacher said so, and I say again, my name is Jenny Sparks. I don't sodding need another."

Re: Answer the Questions

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Tell everyone your name, why you're here, why Bea Arthur is a goddess among women, and what your strong womyn-- that's with a y, by the way-- name is

"I'm T.R. Wexler, which, by the way, is my strong woman name, but everyone calls me Turtle, because T.R. is too intimidating for most people. I'm here because one, I can finally take a class with Mister Deadpool and two, I intend to be a modern feminist, so I might as well do it properly."

Yes, she had full confidence that she could learn that from him. Go figure.

"And I still have no idea who Bea Arthur is. But hopefully that will change?"

"I'm Evie Carnahan. Evelyn! Evelyn Carnahan, and that's my stronger name. I'm here because I want to help women get the vote in England, without having to go on a hunger strike when I get back to 1917, and because Professor Deadpool taught me how to drive! So he's very empowering." Evie drew a deep breath. "And I believe Bea Arthur is a goddess among women because, um. Because." She frowned. "She has very good posture? And is tall? And she has her own song."

"I'm Jeff," Jeff said, looking mildly confused as always, "My mother's enrolled me in things again, and Bea Arthur is extraordinarily well preserved for a woman her age. Er, I'm not entirely certain I have a womyn name, I think you need to have breasts for that."

He paused.

"...Jeffina."

Talk to the Teacher

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Because he's very friendly.

And still humming the theme song.

It is so totally your fault that I just spent half an hour memory-tripping through cheesy 70s and 80's sitcoms (please tell me I'm not the only person who remembers Out of This World) and I love you for it.
