Work Text:
Murdoc:
• Wait, how did he even get this job and why hasn't he been fired yet?
• Teaching is honestly just a shitty day job for him. Once he earns enough, he's quitting to become a famous rock star with his own band! He could see it now: fame, glory, girls. It sounds like a dream come true. But until he had the money to make that dream a reality, he was stuck as the school's social studies teacher.
• When he quits his job as an "educator", it's going to be very similar to the fuck you scene from the movie "Half Baked".
• He is disliked by the students in all of his classes.
• He has a habit of arriving 30 minutes late to class. Sometimes he'll show up completely sober, while other times he'll show up drunk.
• The pickle has WAY too many political views that he refuses to keep to himself.
• If Murdoc falls asleep at his desk, one of the kids might try to either draw a dick on his forehead and take a picture of it, or they might try to put a 'kick me' sign on his back. But they have to be EXTRA careful or they might wake up the grumpy goblin!
• If he does wake up, he'll be extremely mad and end up giving the whole class a pop quiz first thing tomorrow morning.
• He finds grading papers to be too difficult, so he doesn't bother doing it.
• The only time Murdoc actually teaches his class something about social studies is when the principal or some other important staff member walks into the room to see what's going on. Once they're gone, he goes straight back to sleep.
• He believes that Stuart Pot, the new music teacher at school, is an idiot. He decides to give him the nickname '2D' because he feels that the man is too dense. Murdoc has walked by Stuart's classroom a couple of times before and has overheard him and his students singing while he plays the piano. To hear more, he would usually place his ear against the door. He had to admit that the guy had some really nice vocals. Plus, he's tall, pretty, has blue hair, and both eyes! Murdoc makes a mental note to remember to make that Stu-Pot guy the front man of his future band once he gets the money he wants and decides to quit.
• Murdoc only tries to 'befriend" 2D because he's a music teacher and also because he wants him to be his future front man.
• When he learns that the teacher of the class with the highest test scores will receive a large bonus pay, he decides to change his style of "teaching", forcing the students in his class to study intensely for the upcoming test. However, the kids end up getting low scores.
• He has been embezzling money from the 9th grade bake sale.
2D/Stuart Pot:
• He is the new music teacher!
• He quickly becomes well-liked by students and co-workers.
• Stuart is a nice teacher who carries himself off as a goofy professional who knows what he's doing.
• Believes that every one of his students will become a great musician one day.
• At times, he enjoys teaching while music plays in the background.
• He may accidentally give students test answers when they ask for clarification on a question
• He will write original songs for his class to perform.
• Has an after-school club where he teaches students how to play piano, keyboards, and melodica.
• I can imagine him being an actual teacher in real life.
• Stuart is a bit terrified of Murdoc because one time, when the two were on lunch duty together, Murdoc was explaining to him a dream that he had last night where he launched his car through a music shop that Stu-Pot was apparently working at and had knocked one of his eyes out! “ Oh, uh, o-okay… W-Well, it’s a good thing you aren’t actually going to run me over with a real car, right?…RIGHT?!”
Noodle:
• She has a full real name, but prefers to be referred to as Noodle, which was a nickname she received in her childhood.
• The children generally call her Ms. Noodle.
• She's the teaching assistant for Stuart's class!
• She's kind because she helps everyone in the class who needs it, even the spoiled kids.
• She's in charge of the guitar club after-school!
• She really likes the guitar club since it provides a safe and fun environment for students to come together and enjoy music.
• She's a master at playing acoustic guitar and ukulele!
• You'll most likely find her in the teacher's lounge playing on her pink handheld game player while drinking tea and munching on the candy and snacks that they have in there.
• The teacher's lounge is her favorite room to be in for obvious reasons.
Russel:
• He's a no-nonsense math teacher who will joke around with his students from time to time, but then gets very serious with them when it comes to their grades.
• Mr. Hobbs is skilled at making math fun with a capital F!
• They didn’t do so well on a test? Not a problem! Russel will happily allow a student to retake it, as long as they go home and study.
• He will greet each student by their name when they enter his class.
• Russel has a general concern for his students and desires the best for all of them.
• His students can count on him being genuine
• Will bring treats for the class if they did really well on a quiz or test!
• Allows his students to use their phones once they have finished all their work.
• When his students throw him a surprise party in the classroom on his birthday, he breaks down in happy tears.
• Murdoc's classroom is situated across the hall from his own.
• Russel doesn't know why, but he feels that Mr. Niccals is teaching for all the wrong reasons.
• He really doesn't think Murdoc should be teaching teenagers, or really anyone. Russel couldn't think of anyone less qualified to be a teacher.
• Whenever he's in the teacher's lounge, he likes socializing with other teachers like 2D or Noodle, but never with Murdoc. Russel tries to avoid him.
