My Brain: WRITE IT WRITE IT WRITE IT
Me: *smacking my brain with a ruler* NO! WE HAVE A THESIS CHAPTER TO FINISH OR THERE WILL BE ~ANGRY EMAILS~
Some thoughts tho:
Percival, when absolutely forced to attend meetings, will do so with a book or continue with his work. He responds, “Well, when anything important comes up I’ll be sure to pay attention.”
He typically answers all emails with one word answers unless he’s looking something. He’s avoiding looking at the emails from his publisher, and wonders if ~SOON~ is an appropriate response to ‘when will you be sending your book?’
He is a surprisingly good teacher, but really only for final years and postgrads. New admin staff fucked up one year and put him down to convene a first year survey course - it was a disaster. After several complaints that he kept ordering people out of class because they hadn’t read the material/wouldn’t participate/were idiotic enough to pull the alpha card and challenge him, he responded with “I am not here to spoonfeed spoiled imbeciles". From then on he only gets guest lectures on first year modules, where he proceeds to scare the shit out of them and gain additions to his yearly following of besotted youth.
Coffee lets him function. Good red wine lets him sleep (occasionally. Or at least lets him feel like he’s relaxing).
Jacob opens a hipster coffee shop/bakery beside the university. At first Graves rolls his eyes but then he tastes it. Now he’s never out of the place (god help you if you take his favourite window seat). Jacob is on a one-man mission to make the man smile.
Grindelwald was his supervisor way back when and they’ve ended up at the same institution again. Graves hates him with a fire that terrifies and arouses everyone around him. When they both attended the same roundtable session at a conference it had to be called to a halt before the fight got physical (they had spent the past thirty minutes slating each other’s work and general existence while everyone else was like 👀)
