"AP's European cousin with greater intent for academic harm"

Summary:

All of the organizations if they were high schoolers in the International Baccalaureate program, written by an IB Diploma senior trying to cope with the fact they have 4 HL exams this year and 3 of them are long essay based. Senioritis who? You've obviously never been an IB Diploma senior

This is a purely self-indulgent crack fic. Incorrect quotes, crack snippets, chatfic segments galore. Many fictional events inspired by real life. Coauthored by my fellow IBDP friends, who I share in the suffering with
If you are also an IB student and I got something about the difficulty settings of your course egregiously wrong, give me a mild kick to the shins in the comments (I'll fix!! I promise!!!)

Chapter 1: Starting headcanons list

Chapter Text

Woohoo headcanons time, as with every single one of my AUs


Character sheets(? Sentences? Bulleted list?)

(Baseline: Everyone is in the same grade/age and everyone is all in IB Diploma)

UN (Unity):

  • Academic sweat who tried to max out their HLs. English HL, History HL, Global Politics HL, Environmental Systems and Societies SL, Math AA HL (the poor fool), French SL; Global Politics EE
  • The poor fool, they have to write 10 essays
  • Why did they choose HL math? Great question they don't know either
  • Has all their CAS evidence but hasn't written a single reflection in 2 months

WHO (Heathers):

  • STEM extraordinaire. English SL, History SL, Biology HL, Chemistry HL, Math AA HL, French SL; Bio/Chem literature review and then had to speedrun an experiment EE
  • I think she would be the kind of person to cry about being cooked for an exam and then cruise through
  • The humanities ones in the group are kind of afraid of her. Because what do you mean she voluntarily chose to have an extra Group 4
  • Speedruns all CAS the night before the check-in deadline

ICJ (Julia):

  • A very similar academic breed as UN. English HL, History HL, Psychology SL, Environmental Systems and Societies HL (because law focus), Math AA HL, Latin SL (the only one who knows how to tell stories about violent political murders in their Language B); Social and Human Anthropology EE
  • "English? Idk man I just stop thinking and write"
  • Kind of gave up struggling in the pure math department. HL Math made her question her life decisions
  • CAS activity minmaxxing

Peacekeeping (Piers):

  • English SL, History SL, Physics HL, Social and Human Anthropology HL, Math AA HL, French HL; Math EE but he tells everyone it's about physics
  • "I'm going to calculate how much I need to rotate this chair in the air so you experience enough acceleration to shut up" (Courtesy of the_cryosleep)
  • Really interesting affinity for LaTeX and typed his entire EE in Overleaf
  • Does CAS to procrastinate on the reality of homework

MSF (Marie): 

  • English SL, History SL, Biology HL, Chemistry HL, Math AA HL, French HL (WHO: ??? Where did you gooooo); Biology EE
  • Cause of the large burn mark on one of the chemistry lab ceilings
  • Professional French HL slacker
  • Somehow reasonably on track with CAS and is approaching the endeavor somewhat correctly

Additional (will update as I get ideas)

  • The real-life expectations of them to be successful at diplomatic/humanitarian endeavors manifest as academic pressure in this AU. This is why everyone is in IB Diploma and most are in Math HL
  • Also because having the non-STEM people suffer the horrors of Math HL is funny (Weeps in prospective IR major in Math HL)
  • It's all a big happy platonic family of academic suffering
  • All of them kind of just. Slack off in foreign language. They also kind of all avoid the arts like the plague because of the massive portfolio requirement
  • All of them hate the A in CAS
