"It's the last week of class for many of you, which means it's preeeetty much blow off time. Amirite?"

He was totally right.

"So, I'l make this easy on ya, mmkay?"

Maybe.

"Hopefully ya'll are done being sacks of emo about fake future kids and are ready to get back to work. Today, you'll be working with a very demanding client."

Who was currently scribbling on some probably important papers on Deadpool's desk. Oh, they could just get some new important papers from IKEA.

"Jan here needs an outfit that says 'Look at me, I'm much more awesome than a Skywalker' and you people are gonna design it for her. Got it?"

"An' giraffes!"

Deadpool nodded solemnly. "You heard the woman, and giraffes. More awesome than Skywalkers and giraffes combined."

"I hope you all had fun with your day off and the crazy fog and the GODZILLA."

A beat.

"...wow, he gets bold and caps. Good for him," Deadpool said, pausing to give that consideration. "So, I hope you all are all ready for today's photoshoot. We'll be doing it in pairs. One of you will be a mad scientist with the whole need to cackle and build things that will unmake all of reality. And the other will be a monster. But make it pretty, goddamn it. Or so help me, I'll go steal some sort of beam from Reed Richards and use it one you."

And that might end with Clor. No one wanted that.

Instead of class today, there was just a note on the door. A note made of fail. Fail.

What the hell are you guys doing here? Get your asses back to the dorms where there's no crazy making fog. This isn't a Stephen King novel. No one gets to wander about and deal with monsters and unholy abominations upon nature.

Well, maybe Warren does, but that's different! He's all X-Meny and... How the hell did I manage to ramble in a note?

So, anyway. Get home, losers.



[[...Fail, me. Fail.]]

Modeling for Dummies

There was no green in the classroom today. Oh no. None of that crap for this teacher.

But there was a TV and a very classy documentary on the fabulous lives of models in the 90s. You know, before all the reality TV.

"So, today you're all gonna learn the fine points of being thin and pretty and unattainable back when that still meant something." A beat. "And probably snorting coke like it's goin' out of style, but thems the breaks."

Oh, models. You cads.

"Now, watch closely and you can almost feel the bitchy hatred the women have for each other. Like puttin' a buncha alpha dogs in one room. And no, not like that Justin Timberlake movie with Warren there."

God, Ben Foster. Crazy much?

"Now enjooooy."

It was Thursday, that meant it was class day. Isn't everyone just so excited? C'mon! Show your teenage angst filled excitement!

No? Fine.

Screw y'all.

"The weekend that we never speak of is over and done with and it's back to business as usual, kiddos. But not without subjected you to horrible trauma by making you all relive those painful memories for a photoshoot," Deadpool said brightly. "Now, there's a box of... okay, they might be t-shirts I got at the dollar store instead of fabulous costumes. I'm cheap. Deal. So play about in Imagination Land where you can sparkle like a vampire and shit."

So loving, Deadpool.

"Now get to work."

"Oh, that week off didn't last long enough, kids," Deadpool informed them, taking a nice, healthy sip of his completely PG coffee that wasn't Irished up in the slightest.

Really.

"So! In show business, which there is no business like, they say never work with kids or animals. Which means ya'll need to take pictures with kids and animals for my amusement and for real life experience in the matter blah blah blah. We all know this class is for funsies. Unless our T.A. is harboring dreams of making it big as the next Ashton Kutcher. In which case... dream big. Dream big."

And ignore the weird meta. Please?

"Get to posing with them!"

"Next week is spring break and we all know what that means, right boys and girls and maybe something in betweens I'm not judging except for when I am because it's fun," Deadpool said, fiddling with a DVD case in his hands.

There was even that small, awkward pause that normally only appeared on Dora the Explorer for kids to get their brains together and stop bouncing around to bippy music or whatever they did these days.

"That's riiiiight! It means Deadpool forgot to write you a midterm! Yaaaaay!" Oh, the fake glee was fun. "So, instead, you all get punished with this classic Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks movie about what happens when writers take acid. Won't that be fun?"

A beat.

"Yeah, I don't care. Gleam something educational from it and you get a gold star."

"Now, I know you were all looking forward to meeting fashion icon Katy Perry and editor at large Nina Garcia and famous fashion designer Michael Kors, but sadly that was all in Tim Gunn's head," Deadpool informed the class sadly.

"But you all got a lovely... vaguely wearable former sweatshirt out of the deal. Which makes up for things, right? Right!"

Hey, just be glad he didn't being in fugly bows for people to wear as well.

That was totally for next week.

"So, as we all know from watching any modeling show ever, swimsuit season is now. Because they enjoy making malnourished kids prance about in nothing but twine and scraps of fabric while it's freezing could out. It's a thing. So... I hope ya'll are read to get your swimsuit photos on. Or just puss out and have me mock you from now until you break from the emotional pressure and have to go to a shrink. But we all know shrinks don't do anything, people. We all know that."

Yeeeah.

"So, pick a swimsuit and prepare to get your pose on, kids."

So, Deadpool had plans for class today. Plans that involved trying to make them do a photoshoot underwater, but not looking stressed or like they're drowning. And could they just stop with all the bubbles?

Jeeze.

But, instead, everyone was in for a surprise, it seemed as someone wandered into the classroom to get people to make it work before Deadpool could even start to mock anyone.

"Well hello, designers! I must say I am pleased as punch to be able to join Heidi today to mentor a new breed of fashion designers. Today we're going to see what you can do with recyclable materials. Namely all this hoodie sweatshirts that I found abandoned in the room I woke up in this morning. Now you have one hour and zero dollars to make this fashion work for none other than fashion icon Katy Perry! Isn't that exciting?"

Deadpool had to stare for a moment, before just going along with it. Because it was awesome. "You heard the man, people. This isn't like my homeland in Germany where people can't even afford such nice sweatshirts." Yeah, just go with it. "And, for the love of god, I seem to be preggers again. Damn you, Seal. Damn you!"

"Well come on designers! Time's a wasting! Let's make it work!"

"So, since movies help us all learn how the real world works, today we'll be watching something about the glamorous world of running a fashion magazine," Deadpool announced when everyone had arrived. "Isn't that just so exciting kids?"

Yeah, he didn't believe it either.

"Okay, so maybe I just wanna stab things and that's not condusive to fashion. So enjoy Anne Hathaway, but she's not showin' off the goodies in this movie. Just so you guys all know. You'd have to sit through an Ang Lee movie for that and oh god is it boring. And the the guys goin' at it in that movie? It's like watchin' dogs fight. Angry, angry, sexually repressed dogs."

Awkward time now.

"So... enjoy the movie."

After handwavily informing the kids to meet up in the danger shop, Deadpool was positively giddy about the oh so awesome fashion show that would be happening. There was even a poorly constructed runway set up for it!

"Now, I don't want you kids to feel nervous or anything about having to parade about on stage in something you created where anyone could just walk in a mock. It's not that big a deal. It's just one day that could get you labeled 'that chick slash guy who face planted on the stage because their outfit was crap'. So... you know."

Deadpool shrugged.

"Get over it. And I didn't wanna make you guys do this alone, so I got you someone to walk with. Noooow, it's possible these poorly photoshopped lil' fellas are part of the shop and won't actually bite you. Or, it's possible some of them snuck in and enjoy wearing unitards and vision obscuring masks. I dunno. But this is what you gotta deal with as a real model."

Yeeeeah.

"So, have fuuuuuun."

When class filed on into the room today, there was a massive pile of fabric, construction paper, glitter and glue waiting for them. It was a challenge day, apparently.

"So, class. Today we're gonna start in the deep end of fashion tomfoolery. That's right, we're talkin' 'bout couture." No, there were no hand outs on it. There was a link. Hello.

"If you're still a lil' bit confused as to what looks all couture, I'd say... pretty much anything Lady Gaga wore is an attempt at it. Except the unitards. Bitch is crazy for unitards. I mean, I met her once and she sang me an awesome song, but we didn't sit around and chat about her fashion. Mostly because I still have my manhood and was a vampire at the time."

A beat.

"Not a sparkly one."

That was an important addition, you guys.

"Today, you all are gonna make up your own batshit design so next week you can do a little turn on the catwalk in it. Shake your little tush on the catwalk, yeah," He continued seriously. "So get your asses in gear and make me something Lady Gaga would be apeshit to wear."

The classroom was empty except for Deadpool's desk. Because this was the beginning of a special journey and chairs only got in the way of it.

...look, if he was gonna be Tyra, he needed to come up with random things the kids couldn't have this time around. For funsies. And to lure in the readers. Hello readers. Are you enjoying the post so far? No? You want more introductions? You're a cruel person.

"So," Deadpool said, ignoring any slurs against those who saw this on their F-list. "Welcome to Modeling for Dummies. In this class, you'll learn the way to succeed in a high pressure situation that wouldn't happen except for on TV, with challenges that have no real bearing on obstacles in your future careers." A beat. "Unless you come from some crazy ass world. Then maybe."

He continued on, trying not to dwell on those insane worlds. Really, it was for the best that he never met Karla.

Magic cock rings.

"So, since everyone has been doing introductions everywhere before this, let's assume I don't care about your names, hopes, dreams or grade. Because that would probably be true. I don't care. But I say that with love. Instead of something that will make ya'll get with the drinking game, I want everyone to pick a classmate and make up some random crap about them that would make them an edgy model. I'll go first!" Oh yeah, this'll end well. "One time, Chuck Bass beat a hobo to death, but then realized the error of his ways and became a priest. It was a touching life lesson that we can all learn from."

One day, people would learn not to allow him to teach. One day.

"Oh, and mini-me. TA. Have fun with the job."
