Something that no one definitely wanted and i wanna procrastinate on projects and essays.
Atlantis: the lost empire x dbh
What have i done.
This isn't even the entire movie.
It's just like the beginning that's it.
Connor as milo thatch would be a snacc honestly.
Fun fact about me: I wanted to be a language translator for the UN, and then I wanted to be a UN ambassador, now I'm settling for an aerospace engineer.....maybe a linguistics professor..

What do y'all wanna be when y'all grow up?

"In a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea."

You groaned as you hauled papers and maps into your shared room? Space? Whatever you put your shit into your shared space with Connor Andersen, Cartographer and a linguist. And mildly obsessed with finding the lost city of Atlantis, kinda like you.

You were the top mechanic and linguist in your college classes. Not to brag or anything really. You look around for your dorky friend only to find him giving out a speech...to a couple of masks and literally just himself.

You stand and watch in the background "So by comparing the runes to this Viking shield," you chuckle lightly as Connor struggles to pick up the shield "I found out that it was mistranslated so by changing this letter instead of Ireland we get, Iceland!" You clap "Wow
Mr. Andersen that was amazing I'll fund your entire expedition to find the city of Atlantis." You smile.

"Wow you thought it was great?" He pushes up his glasses "Yea I-" the phone rings and Connor sighs , jumping onto the chalkboard to reach the phone "Cartography and Linguistics, Connor Andersen speaking... uh huh. Yea. Okay." He places the phone down and nods in your direction.

"Got it." You mumble and walk over to the boiler, being careful not to step on any masks or books. You turn a few knobs and hit the boiler with a wrench and it makes a loud noise.
"Is that better? Uh huh. Alright. Bye." Connor sighs.

"I know you want to find that place Connor. Your grandfather would've wanted you to also."  You take the special hat out of its ritual-like box and place it on his head "Perfect." You smile and the hat falls down and covers his eyes "even better." You and Connor laugh until you hear something in the shoot.

You pick up the letter "Dear Mr. Andersen and Ms. (L/n) your meeting has been rescheduled for 3 pm." You frown in confusion and hand the letter to Connor who looks at the clock which reads 3:10 pm, and another letter comes in the shoot.

"Dear Mr. Andersen and Ms. (l/n) due to your apparent lateness your meeting as been cancelled-" "They can't do this to us!" Connor grabs his hair while you only shake your head and grab your coat

"We'll convince them."
"I'll make them be convinced."

Latin is a pretty fun ass language to learn
Maybe I can learn Gaelic or like really old languages.
Those languages are fun
