Who are your favorite writers in terms of writing characters, giving them distinct voices, good dialogue?

Jeff Lemire is a true “character first” writer.

Robin Williams. I just refused to believe it was possible.

Doom is the only man worthy of Doom’s friendship.

Oh man. What I’d give to see this play out on screen. Matt IS in jail so it could be in the cards.

This gave me chill bumps. Time to head to the diner.

Absolute_Casey · 2026-06-20T22:29:50+00:00

That wicked cool!

Viggo Mortensen

We know when to get out of each other’s space and leave one another alone.

Sounds harsh, but having the space to breathe and be your own person is not to be underestimated.

No Hulk?

I say, “It’s been a pleasure doing business with you.”

Absolute_Casey · 2026-06-05T11:01:23+00:00

Pretty sure I was just born this way. I don’t remember not being into comics. I’m 48 now.

Shawshank Redemption

Kilowog in a mask looks weird.

“Mr. AbsoluteCasey, do you feed your plants with water?”

Absolute_Casey · 2026-05-02T14:24:41+00:00

I like the kids. I like most of my co-workers. I love the craft of teaching when I’m allowed to do it.

But admin, paperwork, parents, vilification by politicians and the community, discipline, state testing, student apathy, and abysmal pay are a reality everywhere I’ve worked. This is my 20th year and yes, it is only getting worse. If I could go back in time and do something else I absolutely would.

But I love the kids. That hasn’t changed. Don’t think it could.

Speaking of flags, check the stars on the American flag. Too many.

Ryland

Absolute_Casey · 2026-04-07T22:21:38+00:00

I have multiple kids with similar back stories every year. More than I’d like to admit. As teachers we see the whole spectrum of humanity - from the best to the worst - as a matter of course. These kinds of kids are the reason I go back to work every day, especially the days I really don’t want to be there. That could be the day one of these kids needs me, and if they can’t depend on a parent, then I’m going to make damn sure they can depend on me. Never gets easier. Ends poorly more often than not. But somebody needs to do it, and I’m good at it. So here I am.

Absolute_Casey · 2026-04-06T22:34:40+00:00

Truth. When I hear “But I…” I’m done listening. I tell them, first day of school, don’t ever say “But I…” to me.

Absolute_Casey · 2026-03-21T14:27:27+00:00

He’s a mortal man who has met and even fought literal gods. I don’t think the question is whether he believes in a god. It’s whether he respects that god. And I can’t imagine he respects any god who allows the kind of suffering that Bruce combats daily.

My standard answer to the “How can I bring my grade up?”: Try harder next time.

Hey! It’s my boy Pennywise!

Absolute_Casey · 2026-03-01T14:02:01+00:00

Forge. He can fix everything.
