Theory: some High-Ends use the corpses of past OFA users
There aren't tons of High-Ends. They can't be mass-produced so easily, and there's only one that's blatantly female, literally named Woman and with a tall, defined figure
Maybe Woman's original identity is already confirmed, but... she's similar to Nana in build, isn't she?
It's hinted that All For One actually kept Nana's corpse. How, 20+ years later, could he give Tenko his grandmother's pristine hand? Is he just keeping their hands? Or their actual corpses?
Also, when looking at corpses to give multiple Quirks to, One For All users are the best for this. Having inherited One For All, their bodies had maintained multiple Quirks when they were alive, even if they couldn't use more than their natural Quirk and One For All's physical ability. And to their bodies, One For All doesn't count as just one Quirk; the natural one, and Yoichi, are already too much for a human. But Shinomori shows that it counts each previous user's Quirk, on top of Yoichi's and one's own natural one.
Their bodies adjusted to holding multiple Quirks, and when they were alive, they didn't become deformed or lose brain function. They were perfectly fine, and only had shortened lives—but that doesn't matter as corpses.
Nomus go brain dead when they have multiple Quirks. But the past users didn't, being completely fine, making them perfect for Nomu development.
High-Ends can think. They're all physically powerful, and One For All users make the best basis, even from leftover embers and physique. So why not use that great base to make the best outcome Nomus (High-Ends)?

Did bakugo just say I can't defeat him by myself at the end of the chapter ?
I think you have to read it together with the panel at the end of the last chapter. To me, it feels like maybe what Bakugou was meaning there: "how could i have ever hoped to beat that?" and in this chapter the answer is "no way I could have done this alone".
I also understand it that Bakugou is not talking only about this last portion of the fight, which was more or less a one-sided targer-practice. AFO's monster form shows all the immense amount of power he gathered - but by the time he faces Bakugou, he's been weakened blow by blow by all the people who fought him (and all the people who supported them like Melissa building the AM suit or the Class B girls working with Mt Lady), and also AFO has been let down by the vestiges. Plus, Bakugou's victory is tied back to Yoichi and Kudou's will, who have started the chain that linked up to this moment.
These are just the events in the final fight that got AFO to the point where he's a child, where he's rapidly rewinding, where he's desperate because Shigaraki rejected him, where the ghosts of the past haunt him to irrational anger, where the quirk factors are rebelling against him. It's a nine-generation fight and a present-day group fight where finally all the stars align to beat him. It's the fight of the people AFO called "extras".
Bakugou simply gets to be the final link, the "killing blow". (Not literally, I don't think Bakugou is killing AFO technically). But that in no way shape or form is meant to mean that Bakugou could have faced him alone when AFO first rewound to prime form and soloed him. Picture AFO as a raid-boss in a video game, Bakugou as the DPS who goes down in the beginning of the raid, gets revived by the healers with a power boost just in time when all the other members of the raid party have been knocked out, and gets to land a final blow (which is still pretty cool because to achieve that, it still needs Bakugou's genius to quickly catch up to his new abilities and coming up with a good plan on the fly with his impeccable battle sense. I don't think just anyone could have done that - it needed a pretty special talent.).
Bakugou - because he was down for most this fight - probably has no idea exactly who contributed or how. He probably has no idea if his friends and other heroes are even alive. But I guess seeing All Might in AFO's clutches must give him an inkling that things went to shit at Gunga and that the heroes were literally throwing every last bit of resource they had at AFO, including the quirkless guy. Bakugou is simply the (last?) piece of the chain - linking poetically from the origin of OFA to OFA growing beyond its users thanks to All Might's Symbol of Peace and becoming not just a literal power-stockage for one person, but an ideal that links all the people together who want live up to those ideals. (Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next chapter, AFO's final demise would connect back to Yoichi in some way. If Bakugou was Kudo's revenge, I think maybe the last laugh should go to Yoichi - in the vestige world - or the Yoichi stand-in, Tomura).
From Bakugou's perspective, last time he tried to stand up to AFO alone (in Shigaraki's quirk-erased body), he got dissed and badly beaten and died. He knows he had to be rescued, revived and he couldn't do it by himself (self-exploding sweat notwithstanding).
I think this is simply an acknowledgement of how at that point he was looking at it wrong - because of course nobody can beat this guy alone, and also it doesn't even matter. The important thing is that they can do it all together if everyone does their part. So I think Bakugou is now maybe at the point where he finally lets go of the idea of measuring his own heroism mainly through power-scaling lenses of his own quirk. Because Explosion is stronger right now than ever. And even at its strongest, it's nowhere near the level of AFO's accrued power. But Bakugou can still win, because he can unleash his power and AFO can't. It's about Bakugou's idea of the "perfect victory": trusting your allies, playing your part, connecting the chain and trust that someone will have your back when you are in trouble. It's also about acknowledging people who helped you, who taught you, who made you stronger (this is something Deku has always done, but we barely ever see it from Bakugou who used to believe that he alone was hot shit).
That's literally the theme of the entire endgame. Nobody gets a win alone - not Izuku, not All Might, not Bakugou, not anyone.
Some of the execution was not great, but I'm fairly certain this is the point HK is trying to make - everyone was essential. Bakugou never could have done a 1 v 1 against AFO.
And on the other hand, that's the villain's downfall. In the PLF war, it was the bonds the LoV built that saved them. But AFO's possession of Shigaraki left those bonds in a sorry state, left the LoV scattered, each member fighting only for their own goals.

I would LOVE to hear the zoro lecture
zoro lecture!! not three hours long bc i value my time & sanity but it is unplanned 👍 like all of the posts here at transdykezoro
actual ramble is under the readmore. bc it got LONG.
ok so zoro is fascinating as a character to me bc he’s got three main factors directing his behavior: his grief and subsequent extreme loneliness, his refusal to ever be the weakest person in any given place, and his pattern of being incredibly devoted. take into consideration i am only just finishing skypeia
his grief and loneliness are fairly easy to spot. it’s the root of his dream, and why he follows luffy in the first place. however!! it also shows up in other places.
the first example that i can think of is when nami went back to arlong park. luffy is certain that she’ll come back with them, that she wants to be with them.
zoro isn’t.
zoro consistently casts doubt on luffy’s confidence, and switches from liking and being friendly with nami to acting like he hates her.
you might be asking how this connects to his grief and loneliness. it does, albeit in a roundabout way.
don’t take this next section as fact, because i’m a teenager and not a psychologist. but judging from how zoro was a kid when kuina died (and he was already an orphan), and a young teenager when he started bounty hunting, he’s definitely traumatized. and his particular trauma is caused by his grief.
grief, especially when the death happens when you’re a kid, changes the way you see the world and how you see other people. based on his past, i’d say that zoro probably made that huge switch with nami partially because of her betrayal (sadness can appear like anger, but he still didn’t trust her as much after as far as i remember) and partially because he has a history of losing people. at least subconsciously, her betrayal made more sense than her coming back.
the next instance in which his grief shows up is when robin first joins the crew. nobody really trusts her (for good reason imo) but zoro is the one who goes on record multiple times (in the manga) in saying that he’s keeping an eye on her and will fight her if she tries to betray them.
but he trusted luffy instantly! so what’s the difference here?
the one that i see is that while robin made her first impression as a mysterious, cunning enemy, luffy’s first impression was him being dumb, annoying, and brave as hell. and also - luffy found zoro at a moment where zoro was unimaginably lonely. he’s not with johnny and yosaku, and seemingly hasn’t been for a while. he’s been traveling around east blue for a while mostly on his own, following the traumatic deaths of three people close to him.
yes, luffy technically blackmailed him, but zoro was kind of in a place where he’d take any chance that still allowed him to follow his dream. luffy understood that, and accommodated that. because he’s luffy
robin came in as an enemy and an ally to someone who mocked and almost killed luffy. and, importantly, she came in when zoro was experiencing something he hadn’t in a while - a stable, committed friend/family group
trauma also makes people hypervigilant. hyperviligance is when you’re basically always in some level of survivor mode. zoro’s in the grand line, a place he can’t survive in without his crew, and his emotional survival depends on his crew’s (mainly luffy’s) survival. robin is a threat to that. of course zoro trusts her the least
going onto the second motivation. it actually stems from the first one in that it’s rooted in his promise to kuina, but that’s normal for zoro.
zoro needs to be the strongest, or on par with the strongest, in any given situation he’s in. this changes a bit with luffy’s protagonist-ness but i think that zoro perceives himself as only a slightly worse fighter than luffy. and he’s fine with that bc it’s luffy.
in my opinion, it’s because zoro thinks that if he can’t win against someone who’s not a swordsman, how versatile is he? and if he loses to a swordsman, then he’s not on track to being the best, and then he’s not keeping his promise to kuina, which is i think his way of keeping her in his life
this factor in his behavior doesn’t stop when he’s not fighting, it’s spread to other parts of his life. i think that’s because zoro’s had a very unstable life so far, and so he controls what he can to make it more stable for him.
a side effect of all of this is that zoro seems incredibly masculine (in the traditional sense that i grew up with. i’m a white usamerican btw). this has inspired admiration and envy of some male fans. but also a not small amount of lesbians love zoro, and relate their experiences to him (like me) (from what i can tell).
i think you can kind of compare zoro to sanji and find out why. sanji’s masculinity, to me, seems incredibly performative. he’s in love with every girl he sees, he’s the one that’ll protect them, he wears a full suit on a tiny ship, but that’s not who he is when no one’s watching imo. sanji’s masculinity seems externally motivated.
zoro’s masculinity is rooted in his promise to a female friend he had when he was young. it’s incidental. his hair is short because it’s economical and easier and he’s muscular because he needs to be strong and likes being strong. it’s an internally motivated behavior, and seems like he’s just being himself. i think that that idea is very relatable to a lot of queer people and aspirational to a lot of cis guys (although maybe i’m giving some of them too much credit)
the third and final driving factor of zoro’s behavior is his loyalty. he’s perpetually loyal to kuina, and has been for about a decade. he changed his life for her when he was a preteen. that’s loyalty.
but now, he’s also intensely loyal to luffy. his loyalty to luffy and his loyalty to kuina sometimes come into conflict, but that hasn’t had a big impact yet, but i am excited for that possibility
#aaaahhh i’m sorry it took me so long to respond#as you can see it got long#one piece#orangetasteslikefruit#leon gets asks#hm should i put this in the main tag...#why not#roronoa zoro

Saw the first part of the AoT finale.
And this once again just hit at the right time for me personally.
It's not just about 'oh protect the kids' 'oh Eren is the poor victim bby'.
Eren is a victim AND perpetrator. He literally tells you this.
I'm currently feeling that sentiment of 'take responsibility you stupid fucks' very deeply.
But to start somewhere, I think the strongest part of this portion of the story to me is absolutely the character writing.
Eren is horrified at his own thoughts and what he felt in the future. (In fact the reason why he is stuck in his head are at least partially his own destructive feelings from the future. He's interesting because he has feelings. His future self wanted this while his current self is sitting there horrified and crying.)
Him not being free is absolutely the right read. It's simply about not being able to see past his feelings – his state of mind. Which is absolutely influenced by several factors as well like OG Ymir's feelings, his knowledge of the future outside of his feelings and his father's memories.
But he's also genociding people. And getting out of that prison is only possible if he is willing to engage with other perspectives. It's all this sort of a greek tragedy loop where his own dark thoughts amplify everything else and the other elements amplify his dark thoughts.
And because he values freedom so much, he could never actually restrain anyone from fighting back.
It's these character elements that determine the narrative direction. The story at this point is deeply character-centric.
Yet despite all seeming lost, his opponents feel it's worth to keep fighting for those who yet live. They can't take back what happened, but they can try to move forward in the circumstances they are in. I think this sentiment is so deeply important going into the finale.
Hange's decision is all about this position of responsibility she was pushed into following Erwin's death, too.
She values the pursuit of knowledge, so she picks Armin as the commander.
I really like her response to Yelena because she's basically talking past her. She admits she failed with Eren, but she never says Zeke is right.
In line of with this moment with Hange, I think a lot of this has very specific emotional nuances and I find that really important.
Yes, Eren's friends are begging with him in Paths, but I also think it's not just because they just love him so very much.
They are also desparate to throw everything at him because he's kind of destroying the world and killing humanity.
So any reason is okay as long as it gets through to him.
Just like that speech by the old guy is equal parts military speech, emotional desparation and thematic statement.
I could logically and clinically tell you that someone else could've technically replaced Hange or maybe Hange held on too long to the point of it being too much.
Or how Annie just could've pieced herself together and gone with them.
But to me it at least all makes sense from the character perspective.
I think it makes sense Hange went instead of Armin or Reiner or even Jean not just because she felt responsible and all Titans are needed, but also because she is also a better, more experienced fighter. What the anime improved is the sense of suspense of just how close the escape was. Her feat was successful as much because of her skill as it was luck and while I think this was the intention to begin with, I think the pacing and depiction of her battle was so much better in the anime. It was a desperate charge picking out Titans in a smart way to protect that one building.
On the other hand, Annie was drafted against her will. It's dumb another strong weapon chooses not to fight in the middle of an apocalypse, but we're also in the middle of an apocalypse and it's better to not have a liability making things worse in there.
That's the kind of story I view this series to be. And technically the story never brings of the experience thing or Annie being a potential liability, I think the framing makes at least the tone clear.
And the very final chapters are the peak of this, I think.
Which is also why it sucks that Historia is treated the way she is. Everyone else is great and gets to be complex and she is sort of just written out in the most sloppy way possible. I think her scenes will all probably be consolidated in the finale into a single timeline, if that. (Though the truth is, I think even completely skipping them would treat her better, so I'm sort of holding out for that.)
I think the final chapter is exactly like this. I think it has a much more nuanced, but more importantly consistent thematic perspective than people give it credit for undermined by not letting it sit has much as it should and follows through from this material.
We can't change what happened, but we can try to make the best of the circumstances we are left with and move forward the best we can.
I think this series is flawed in more complex (and to me interesting) ways than I see claimed, too.
I think there is nuance to the potential read that the story is about Isayama painting a facsmile of imperialistic Japan as victims because he clearly wrote the the representitive of the fictional Japan in her story regretting her actions of exploiting a minority and admitting they only care about themselves.
Hizuru was basically destroyed because of its own greed and that's a very clear (and true) statement about Japan.
She goes on to say you only truly understand you've done wrong once you've actually done the wrong thing.
This feels like an apology to me. And that's good, but she's also a tertiary character, so much does it matter?
And how much of painting Hizuru as an ally is patting yourself on the back?
This story is full of these nuances to me, be it in a straight-forward reading of the text or on the meta level and that's why I will always have a soft spot for it.
I think there is so much more to it all on all levels.
But right now I felt like addressing these elements.

Hello! I was always wondering and wanted to see what your opinion is, but do you think the hero ranking in itself is/was a good idea? Because essentially if it were to be removed wouldn’t that weed out the heroes that aren’t “good” people? Because it seems a lot like a public popularity contest to me in my opinion. I would love your take on it as well!
For the sake of this, I’m focusing on the hero side. I think that rankings play some part in the civilian side, but that’s more of a different discussion.
Yes, I do think that ranking heroes against each other is a good idea, though I want to try and address some of the concerns you are presenting. For starters, it doesn't seem like much of a popularity contest. Popularity is a factor, but it doesn't seem to be the biggest contributor. If it was, you think we would see less effective heroes near the top. But no, a lot of the heroes are extremely competent. And if it was based mostly on popularity, you think that someone as unpopular as Endeavor wouldn't have made it as high as he did. It seems that it's based more on strength, cases solved, and general contribution to society. Even then, publicity and civilian engagement are still a major part of hero work, so being popular is technically the sign of an effective hero.
I also don't understand how removing the ranking system would weed out "bad" people. Because by removing the rankings, that doesn't suddenly remove a lot of the attractive aspects of hero work, like earning money and popularity. The only difference would be that heroes and the population at large don't have any metric with which to judge them. You don't get rid of them unless there is some kind of cataclysm, like what happened with Gigantomachia, or you completely remove those aspects of hero work, which would be far worse for hero work than any kind of cataclysm. So who would that really remove? The only one I can think of is Endeavor, but that's a specific vendetta against All Might for being the strongest rather than a desire for the number one spot as stated in Chapter 165.
The hero rankings do a lot to help. The biggest draw of the ranking system is how it rewards good hero work and pits heroes against one another in a non-confrontational manner. One of the most important parts of development is competition. Whether they know it or not, each hero is in a competition against each other. If you want to make it, you need to get good. While the high paycheck gives incentive, the ranking system gives a metric by which the heroes can ascribe to themselves and other people. By constantly comparing heroes, it gives the heroes something tangible to work towards. You go higher in the rankings, which gives you more publicity and more payout from things like sponsorships, higher wages, or however else heroes may earn money.
In doing so, it's fostering growth. You want to go up in the rankings and get all the benefits that implies? You need to train harder, you need to save more people, and you need to learn how to market yourself as a hero. This gives the heroes some tangible comparison and incentive to do better at their job. Without this measurable metric, a lot of heroes are bound to stagnate. It's a lot like sports stars in the real world and how they try to practice and train relentlessly to make themselves better players to improve their statistics and public image. Only now, creating this competition ends up making more effective heroes and saving more lives, which is ultimately the point of all this. With this system, it pushes heroes to do better. Better heroes mean fewer villains and more lives saved.

Abyssborn Part 2: Abyssborn Children
Second type of the Abyssborn are the children to a natural born ones. They are the only gen besides the progenitors to have the title because they are the only ones with the full range of abilities. It is dramatically cut down after them. And arguably, they are the more dangerous of the two. Because they are, essentially, the manipulators and devourers of possibility. More on that in a minute.
How they come about...I think is evident. I jest but in the previous post, I did put out how they are usually the result of a high magnitude wish. One that can alter the world as the being desires. Usually this child is raised by the one that granted the wish since y'know, the other parent was shunted from the world by the present parent's need for power, revolution, what have you.
It's a responsibility, sure, but you know what? You want big things, gotta put a little work into it. And honestly, most of those children have an innate loyalty to this parent so it isn't terribly hard to get them to go along with their parent's schemes. And they kinda can't ignore it either. Their core is imbued with this wish so they seek out achieving it because there is a need within their being that wants the goal desperately.
Now as for what these Abyssborn are packing...it depends. They for sure are not wish granters because they do not possess the same 'basis' as their Abyssborn parent. However they do have the adaptation ability although it works a little different. For when a child is born, they take on an appearance like their parents, a striking feature, and the traits of the strongest being at the time of their birth. It's so that they have a 'baseline' they can always default to since, again, they are not the same as the void dwelling parent. They can grow up to travel worlds and change what traits they can take on but it takes practice.
Besides this, they have I guess superpower basics. They possess immense strength and durability. Their healing factor is also abnormal. For the being that they adapted to, they have all of that being's strength and powers. However, they also have their weaknesses. For example, Tannim had adapted from a fire dragon. Dragonsbane affects him like an allergy and he takes more damage from ice based abilities.
So far, so good. What makes them terrifying though? Well, it's technically not something overt. It's just that when an Abyssborn is pursuing 'their' wish, it's so fervent that it drives them to taking up all they can in search of it. This includes potential and possibility. They can instinctually find those with great potential, Fateweavers, and loiter about them to either meet more potential, passively take from these beings or start to steer where they want things to go. And if they slay others, they can steal the possibilities that were left behind. So basically if someone was killed 'before their time' or with 'x, y, z left unfulfilled' an Abyssborn can take the potential they would've had and it empowers them.
Honestly, most of the fear is from the experience of those that have witnessed Abyssborn achieve the wish of their parent. And there are usually two variants to what happens from it. One is that the scale and completeness of their goal has driven their home world to destruction. The other is that the Abyssborn destroys it themselves because they are left with an emptiness that can turn to anger or despair. It is because of this destruction that these Abyssborn are also called Harbingers. And this is why it usually does not matter that their Abyssborn parent can return to the world because the child likely has destroyed it or made such a scar on the world itself that there is not much point to coming back. And from that destruction do Harbingers reap an entire world's worth of possibility, making them able to pull of feats at a grand scale or basically like a huge battery.
Now this isn't absolute but it is a trend with Harbingers and it is why 'Regulators,' bodies that oversee that world orders are being adhered to, are very disdainful if not hostile to both Abyssborn. It's too much power just floating out there and it cannot be trusted that they'll do the 'right thing.' However, the one thing with that...they cannot interfere so long as it is shenanigans within that Abyssborn's home world. Because it is their HOME, regardless of how anyone feels about it. However they leave to another place, it's fair game and they do experience the phenomena of the world trying to eject them.
As of this writing, I have two Abyssborn and they both fall under the category of a Harbinger: Balmoral and Tannim. Balmoral is an Abyssborn that was born for immense change. Seeing with his current status, it can be inferred that this change was meant to be with the Unseelie Court. As for what he is......I'll leave that as a question mark for now. Tannim as stated adapted from a fire dragon. However, he is a very big exception to the purpose of a Harbinger. So he's considered unusual next to other Abyssborn.

h henlo i wan tto ask a question, whats classic doctor who and whats modern doctor who?
Ah! hi!
So, the television show Doctor Who started in 1963. The original concept was that it would be a bit educational, with the time travel used to teach about different historical periods, geography, the dinosaurs, you know, but it turned into a straight up wild sci-fi romp pretty quickly. The Doctor was originally played by a gentleman named William Hartnell, but when he eventually left the show they replaced him with Patrick Troughton, explaining it as a quirk of his species that allows him to ‘regenerate’ into a new body when he’d otherwise die. Thus began a grand tradition….
The show ran from 1963 to 1989, with seven different doctors, before dying out. My personal favourite Doctor is Seven, Sylvester McCoy, but probably the most famous/popular is Four, Tom Baker. A TV movie was made in the nineties with an Eighth Doctor, and yes he’s canon but I’ve never seen anyone get that excited about him. Everything up to this point is Classic Who. (There’s also extended universe radio plays and novels.)
Then the show was revived in the 2000s, with the fantastic Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. Thus begins NuWho! I love Nine a lot, he’s genuinely on par with the earlier Doctors for me, but I personally trailed off watching partway through Eleven’s tenure because the writing wasn’t working for me anymore so I’m not the person to ask about later NuWho.
So that’s the technical, era-based answer as to what the difference is. As to why they feel so different, there’s two main factors (in my opinion).
Classic Who had a noticeably low budget most of the time, and was (necessarily, due to its era) mostly practical effects. Its intro theme was one of the first popular pieces of music created on synthesizers! Ever! Classic Who had a campy enthusiasm to it that I personally really love, and while it wasn’t afraid to get emotional or scary (there’s a long-standing joke about kids watching Who from behind the couch, hiding from the monsters) it was primarily very fun.
The other thing is that the story format was very different. Where NuWho tends to have single-episode stories some of which contribute to a season-long plot, Classic Who ran on ‘stories’ of anywhere from two to a dozen episodes. While there were recurring threats and sometimes those stories linked, they were for the most part fairly self-contained.
(Of course there are other differences but those are the ones that make the strongest impression on me)
If you want to give classic Who a go, I’d suggest trying either the very first story ever (An Unearthly Child, four episodes long) or something from the Baker years like Horror of Fang Rock or Planet of Evil. Or do what a lot of us did and just start watching from the first episode you bump into, be completely lost, and fall in love anyway.
Tl;dr: Classic Who ran from 1963 to 1989 and is campy and fun with self-contained serials. NuWho ran from 2005-present and is sparkly and dramatic with individual episode stories and season-long plots.

Things that do not need to be in the Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness Movie:
SPOILERS AHEAD!
DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE MOVIE!
1. No need to overpower Wanda or bigger guns will be brought in. Nothing wrong with that but I want to see Wanda learning through the Darkhold and also working to resist it’s dark power.
2. Doctor Strange is not stupid. He is a very intelligent man who would make some good decisions but the movie ruined that except for the times he saved America Chavez and showed Wong respect. He also wouldn’t have revealed America’s location in seconds. He doesn’t personally know Wanda. He’s never interacted with her before. He wouldn’t have revealed so much just because she is an avenger and they fought beside each other but never acknowledged each other.
3. Leave Christine alone. Strange doesn’t need a love interest. Christine deserves better. She didn’t need to be in the movie except for her wedding scene.
4. I don’t know if it is only me or does Strange’s love for Christine feels more like an attachment to the past rather than real love. (Don’t attack me) They don’t need romantic love to exist on the same plane. The line where Strange says that he loves her in every universe is just … meh. If it was explored more and the movie was actually focused on strange that it would’ve been more believable. Why go back to their love when Strange clearly was ready to move on in the first movie. Give him Clea or someone else so he can have a fresh start.
5. Doctor Strange is supposed to be the most powerful sorcerer but he didn’t do shit. He had a better fight scene against that octopus style demon than against Wanda.
7. I would’ve actually liked to see Wong THE SORCERER SUPREME have a good fight scene. He didn’t become the sorcerer supreme only based on a technicality. There were other factors and I would’ve loved to see those.
8. I thought we established in WandaVision that Wanda is not a villain but more of a morally gray character. She didn’t need to be the villain. Any other villain would’ve been fine. Strange has a whole background story that could’ve been explored and still included Wanda.
9. I would’ve preferred if this movie was focused more on Strange than on Wanda. Following that Wanda should’ve had her own movie to explore many other factors than just becoming a villain.
10. Why bring the Illuminati with some of the strongest heroes and kill them in seconds??? What was the point?? I think we established that Wanda is very very very strong in the first 30 mins. Did not need that. Where are the 15 cameos? Why did they reveal the cameos in the trailers/teasers? Nothing surprising in the movie? I read so many posts that predicted half the movie.
11. Wanda didn’t have to die! So tired of the woman become too powerful to control or will go to the dark side so she must sacrifice herself or her powers to save the world. Overdone.
12. One of the best things about the movie is that they mention Spider-Man. Wong and Strange remember him!!!
13. The movie was too fast paced. Again Wanda didn’t need to be a villain. Mordo could’ve very well served that role. They could’ve gone many ways except for that one. Doctor Strange wasn’t explored enough. The storyline was a bit cringey. Sam Raimi did not do anything impressive. Yes there are many things that were good but the movie did not live up to its hype.
Please do not come after me. These are some of my thoughts on the most hyped movie of the year that turned out to be not so amazing.

Just wanna say this: the High-End Hood should've been Shinomori's corpse.
Yes, it's confirmed Hood is some random fighter from the underground, but it just makes more sense if it were Shinomori at the base?? At the least, I think it'd be verrry fascinating
Although it might be a bit cliche, like if Kudo were Bakugo's ancestor, but it'd be a nice piece of trivia. It wouldn't have to be said outright. Like AFO losing Yoichi's hand cuz of All Might.
Endeavor just fights and kills Shinomori, a cute hermit that gave the rest of his life because of OFA, and Bruce's trust in him over said Factor. Even using his turn to build up strength, Shinomori was looking forward to the future too
A parallel of wanting to be the strongest is drawn between Shinomori and Endeavor. Even after death, the duty of OFA haunts even a corpse.
For why it makes sense if Hood were Shinomori;
Shinomori and Hood wear the same kind of pants (Hood's is ripped, but he's a Nomu and corpse, so it makes sense). It even ends just below the knee. A colored version because I don't want to open the anime;
Shinomori's desire to avoid the strongest (AFO) could've been tweaked by Garaki to look for the strongest instead
Hood looking for the strongest person (hero) could even be Shinomori's desire to give OFA to someone strong enough to protect and grow the Factor. As a hero, someone trustworthy
My [OFA Users are High-Ends theory post] for why Shinomori would be a good base for a High-End
AFO didn't know his face, so the High-End could've been named Hood to keep up themes. That AFO didn't know his face, and even now, he has a "hood"; Hood's face isn't visible beyond glowing features at first
Endeavor burned Hood and said to rest. This could've been Shinomori getting his cremation, and that Shinomori could relax (about OFA)
Endeavor said Hood is possibly Endeavor from the past or the future. In the past, Shinomori wanted to grow his strength for the Factor, so technically, Shinomori wanted to be the strongest. The strongest he could be, at least
The fact we know Shinomori underwent an autopsy, and that Garaki works in morgues to harvest corpses
The knowledge that multiple Quirks kills the normal (not-AFO) person is found in Shinomori. Finding this out, this could've been the reason Garaki and AFO specifically use corpses for Nomus. That way, there's no life force to drain, and technically no drawbacks to the wielder
Garaki was alive during Shinomori's time. Considering these panels,
This happens chronologically. AFO knew Bruce only had leftover embers (he could tell the same with All Might), which is why he looks so dismissive of his corpse. He's just wondering where Yoichi could be now.
AFO met Garaki after he killed Bruce. With all his followers and the way AFO is sitting, he's likely in search of Yoichi in Shinomori. But he never sees or meets the wielder. Thus the way he has his head down, as if upset and ignoring the insignificant crowds
That's why, when he finds Banjo, he's smiling. Yoichi is right in front of him again, after 18+ years of nothing.
Garaki was probably alive for all the OFA users. He's already looking middle-aged when he first meets AFO, and his Ability is just longer life. So he looks younger than he actually is anyway.
Since AFO faced all the previous OFA Users (sans Shinomori), AFO had access to their bodies when they died. Meanwhile, Shinomori ends up in the morgue anyway, likely by Banjo.
AFO shredded Yoichi's body apart, so there's no corpse left. He killed Kudo, Bruce, Banjo, En, and Nana; but not Shinomori, who died of old age, or All Might or Midoriya, because they're still alive.
He has access to the corpses of the previous holders he killed himself, and left relatively intact. And Banjo may as well have given him Shinomori's corpse to figure out what killed a relatively-young, healthy man.
With access to those corpses, AFO and Garaki could've preserved the corpses of OFA Users to make High-Ends
(Maybe see this post where I elaborate why OFA users make great bases for High-Ends)
#this post is again based off of my tags on another post#namely my [OFA users can be the base for High-Ends theory] post#my points are based off of when i watched the anime so manga translations wont be a perfect match#i dont wanna go to the anime cuz its problematic but also. its a fight. thats a lot of panels to track#meanwhile i have manga here thats static and not as hard to access#FOR A MANGA WITH SO MUCH SUBTLE DETAILS PEOPLE SHOULD THINK MORE ABOUT THEM#YES ITS A SHOUNEN BUT MAN. ITS REALLY SMART.#small details really show that thought was put into it yknow#bnha#spoilers#hikage shinomori#mha#ofa#afo#one for all#all for one#garaki kyudai#my hero academia#boku no hero academia#bruce#kudo#banjo daigoro#nana shimura#en tayutai#yoichi shigaraki#hood#nomu#analysis#maybe? i thought about this so maybe its considered that

ROLEPLAYER.QUESTIONNAIRE
THE.MUN
How long have you been roleplaying?. It's been at least 10 years, that's for sure. Maybe a little more, I don't really keep track anymore.
What platforms have you played on?. I was biggest on Gai.aOn.line and N.eoP.ets in the public sphere before coming to Tumblr. Other than that it's always been private over texts with my closest friend.
Do you make other fanworks, or just roleplay?. When I'm inspired enough I like to write fanfics! But lately I just like to fantasize and find works other people have done. Mostly art, I can't bring myself to read fanfics.
Do you prefer canon, divergent or au?. Personally I like to stick to canon when it comes to backstory. But when it comes to rp? I'm open to change. Let's see what we can do!
How many languages do you write in?. Just English, anything else is google translated and I'm really sorry for that 😂
Where you do you get your inspiration?. I don't know a lot of the time, especially right now when I'm struggling to want to write. Used to be I could just watch or read whatever canon was available or consume whatever I associated with my specific characters. But, life has gotten in the way too much lately that it doesn't always work.
Do you write with music?. Depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes my playlists are enough, sometimes I go and find some specific mood playlist on YouTube. How I'm feeling matters and also the tone of whatever I'm writing. But, over all typically yes.
THE.MUSES
How many characters do you write?. On this blog I have 8. Outside of here, all my FANDOMLESS and other canons? It's hard to say when you have to factor in side characters as well haha! But I have like 10 other blogs at least.
Who was your first rp muse?. The first one... Actually would be the first two. The original story my friend and I tried to write, I had two characters, Xaviee and Cassia. They were the best sort of opposites attract that I still love, even if I've long since stopped writing them.
Who is your most recent muse?. Most recent on this blog is technically Aiden Pearce of Watch Dogs, even though he hasn't been officially added yet. Before that is just another idea who also does not have a blog yet.
Which three (3) OCs do you wish got more attention?. Well... My OCs are all other blogs, I don't want to seem like I'm trying to beg for any attention there (I'm taking a break from them at the moment) but, @itsagraywcrld Eloise Gray and Cody I especially wish got more attention. And also my boi @homemadehappiness Simon Baker. I love my babies, I just need the inspiration to get back to writing the.
Which three (3) canons do you wish got more attention?. Oh god Jordi Chin, Elias Bouchard, and Zenyatta for sure. They are by far my 3 strongest and faves. Zen hasn't gotten any attention, but I've been more or less hesitant to reach out as much. I need to sort him out again.
What song always reminds you of a character? Which one?. My OCs absolutely have them, but the ones here I haven't really found yet. Aside from ones that came out of the canon material like Run Boy Run by Woodkid for Five. Sound of Silence might fit for Oliver Banks 😂
Do you have character playlists?. I'm terrible at making playlists 😂 I have Pinterest boards though.
Do you have characters you used to write, but don’t anymore?. Oh so many. Some I truly love more than others, but have no way to really know how to take them out of their respective stories. Also Tohru Honda. She's one I'd love to write again, but don't know if I will.
Any you’d love to bring out of retirement?. Mmm... Not sure about that one chief. It always depends on what I'm into. Though I will say, one that I may very well take back out is Yato. As soon as I get my butt together and finish Nor.agami.
Characters you love, but could never write?. Markus (DBH) is one. Now I don't think I NEVER could, he just doesn't mesh with my brain I guess. I'd love to try, but I really don't know if I would succeed. Or if I even should try. I'm already hesitant on Aiden Pearce.... I think my problem is main characters 😂 they are harder for me. Five is pushing that boundary just enough. Oh, writing ahead, I'd love to write like the Ma.ndalo.rian or something too, but I'm too afraid to touch anything sta.r wa.rs. I don't know enough to even try. I just love the show.... And aesthetic....
THE.SHIPS
Do you like shipping?. Yeah! Absolutely. The good, bad, and ugly.
Single or multiship?. Multiship!!!!
What was your first ship?. My very first two muses, that I mentioned above, technically would be the first ship since they were written to be together. But my first ship written with another person... Was my first Det.roit: Bec.ome Huma.n blog for Simon. I had such a wholesome ship with a Daniel whom I adored and still miss to this day and just hope they are doing well.
Which ship have you always wanted to try writing?. Right now? I wish there were some DBH blogs still around so I could write with Josh. I... Totally ship him with Simon and with Markus. But I'm open to ship him with basically anyone because it could be fun!
Are there any popular ships you love?. Well.... I love Simon/Markus for DBH, and also Markus/North wholeheartedly. Looking to Magnus Archives? Who the heck wouldn't love Jon/Martin.
Ones you hate?. Hate is a strong word... Because just because they aren't for me doesn't mean I hate them. That being said, I highly dislike Zenyatta/Genji (romantically I can't get behind it) for overwa.tch, for Magnus - Elias/Peter Lu.kas (I like the vibe of a divorced couple but not it actually being that. I just don't see it), and also for watch dogs Jordi/Aiden.
Any guilty pleasure ships?. Simon/Daniel was definitely a sort of guilty pleasure for sure. Also Simon/North? Just love?? And Elijah/Chloe. I ship them romantically as much as platonically.
Do you ship anything ‘problematic’?. I have had a truly problematic one in the past, but that's all I'll say about it.
Do you have any ships you miss?. I kinda already jumped the gun with Simon/Daniel. I haven't really had many others that didn't last or aren't with people I still talk to. I honestly haven't had too many ships in general really. At least not on the canon side of things.
Do you prefer common or rare pairs?. Oh god rare pairs. They're so much more fun.
THE.FANDOMS
How many fandoms have you written in?. Uh? Less than 10 that's for sure. I dabble mostly in fandomless work.
What was the first fandom you wrote in?. I think it was technically Fruits Basket, I do remember I did some OC writing with a friend that didn't last.
What fandom do you wish more people knew? (And tell us a bit about it!). The only one I can really think of right now is the Magnus Archives. Which, I mean, is fairly popular but it definitely deserves to be bigger. It's a horror podcast that is told through the perspective of an archivist reading first hand encounters with the paranormal. It's really well written and the sound design is BEAUTIFUL. And the fandom is pretty dedicated.
Do you like crossovers?. Yeah! As long as it plotted out and not thrown together for shits and giggles.
Which fandom have you always wanted to write in?. I'm trying desperately to write in the Watch Dogs fandom but man is it empty! Aside from that? I don't know, I don't really look at them like that.
Do you prefer animated, text, or real life media?. As long as it has a good and compelling plot to hold me, I'm game for it all.
What is your favourite genre?. I guess I love sci-fi most? I love robots... But I also love when sci-fi mixes with like - well, western is such a good one. We.stwo.rld did that beautifully, and the Mand.alori.an too oh my god. You can't tell me Mando isn't a space cowboy.
Least favourite?. Romance maybe? Like, not romantic comedy, just straight up romance. It gets so boring in my opinion
What tropes do you love?. Found family for sure, any sort of family trope. Friends or rivals to Lovers is good too. love/hate rivalries??? Frienemies??? Star crossed lovers... I like drama and fluff.
Which do you hate?. Right now I can't think of anything, but I'm sure there's something I can't stand. I don't really like purely romance to begin with, I need there to be a bit of action or drama or just more than just the two. But I wouldn't say I even hate it. Just not the top of my list.
Do you write in any dead fandoms?. I pretty much live in dead fandoms at the moment. Watch Dogs is all but buried, I don't think Magnus is very active, at least I haven't noticed it to be, and Detroit definitely died off, even the new people probably won't last without more around haha! (Not that I'm calling anyone out or anything! If you are writing I just don't see you. COME TO ME. I beg you, I want to write with you......pls...)

karasu is on the borrowing clothes side of the spectrum ?! omg that is so cute i'm actually gna cry is it bcs of his crow tendencies? does it have anything to do with nesting or something similar? <33
scent marking + nesting
featuring: azra, karasu, zekhan (others very briefly mentioned)
cw: nsfw/mdni content is below the read more. includes scenting as a possessive/mating behaviour; sharing/borrowing clothes and sharing a bed; references to non-explicit sexual activity (masturbation, cum marking/eating; tw: slightly dubious behaviour and blood mentioned briefly mentioned).
a/n: the nsfw behaviours described are slightly darker and more indulgent. they may appear in headcanons or one-shot fics for them but won't be present/prominent in their "official" canon stories.
Being a crow is definitely part of it! It drives a lot of Karasu's impulses to give MC things and he's honoured if MC gives him things too. His nest used to be bland, cold and almost sterile, but over time it slowly fills with more colourful items and luxurious fabrics and comfortable furniture.
In terms of general world building, scent is important for all the other demons too (or that's how I like to write them).
Karasu and Zee are more attuned to scenting behaviour because they’re “born” demons with animalistic demon forms. (Demons like Diavolo, Barbatos and Mephisto would fall into this category as well.)
Azra and the demon brothers use scenting behaviors too, but for fallen angels the instinct and urges are usually less intense. (Satan is an exception due to his unique circumstances, his are quite strong compared to his brothers.)
There’s a bit of nuance to show the subtle differences between them when it comes to borrowing/sharing clothes with MC as a way of sharing their scents:
Azra and Zee want you to smell like them. They lend you their clothes or scent you somehow whenever they see you. They also want their clothes and bed/linens to smell like you.
Karasu technically borrows your clothes but he also doesn't want to inconvenience you. He buys you some oversized shirts or sweaters or pajamas to wear at the nest. When you’re not there, he wears them himself until the smell fades away.
Nesting is a factor too. All three are very protective of their homes and they don't like visitors. Karasu has the strongest nesting urges. He fills his nest with things you like and the gifts you give him. He buys things for your room at the House of Lamentation and leaves his feathers there. Azra and Zee are both motivated to make their homes comfortable and safe for you to stay (because in a perfect world you'd never want to leave).
Speaking of scenting and marking...(nsfw portion below)
All three of them want to mark you with their cum—inside if you'll let them, but your skin and clothes are perfectly fine alternatives.
Your scent also helps them get off if they're a bit desperate or lonely without you.
Azra is the most "tame" of the three. He's content to lay on your side of the bed and breathe deep while he jerks himself off.
Karasu is a bit more needy. He'll put your clothing on his pillow and bury his face in it while he ruts against his mattress. He'll hold something up to his nose (or just drape it over his face) if he's on his side or back.
Zee is similar to Karasu, but he has a higher predatory instinct. Sometimes he has the extra impulse to lick or suck on fabric that might be freshly stained with your slick or cum or blood.
(They might do these things privately in early stages of your relationship, but they'll stop if you don't want them to continue doing so once you're in a relationship. They'd rather fuck you than jerk off alone anyway.)

I cant stop thinking about this tonight so ill annoy all of you. this is on caribbean racial dynamics, us imperialism and Bad Bunny at the Grammys.
it is sponsored by gringx, and to a certain extent, also LatAm twitter, who have spent days arguing about racism wrt to Bad Bunny at the Grammys. Their arguments show off a lot about how racism is seen from a Caribbean gaze vs a USAmerican one. And the perpetual insistence of USAmericans to impose their viewpoint on the whole continent.
And it’s kept me angry for like three days straight, bc i log on and see “Bad Bunny is a white american :-)” when he’s. a. colonial. subject. if his residency is in PR, which i believe it is, he can’t vote for Congress or President. He’s subject to legal discrimination and still lives under the framework etched out in the Insular Cases, which are so racist they inspired Nazis in Germany, and was decided by the same court that came down with Plessy V Ferguson, but unlike Plessy, they are still the law of the land.
So, he’s just materially not seen as white or American and collapsing that bc of how he looks is offensive to say the least, not to him, but to the rest of us who get told we’re citizens while our land is USA property. O sea, do they know that, technically, our citizenship can be revoked? It has a legal basis, due to the Jones Act of 1917, and not constitutional bc “the Constitution does not follow the flag”. The House committee that deals with our issues? The “Natural Resources” one.
And then going back to their claims that him winning the award is racism bc he’s white, well, there’s a lot of arguments over on PR twitter about how BB is not seen as white, and while im not sure they hold up, it does showcase the role of $ and how positioning in the colonial system shapes class/race dynamics. For example, many say that BB is not seen as white in the Caribbean due to his kinky hair, features and moreso his social class - he comes from a barrio in Vega Baja, a town in the outskirts of the metro area.
People who are deemed “white” here are usually not just light-skinned but also part of the upper class elite that acts as colonial intermediaries. And even in this class there are differences and contradictions. So, lots of PRicans don’t see Bad Bunny as white. (Even if i’m personally very skeptical of these arguments).
So my main point is that bc gringxs impose their clearly incorrect race dynamics, or even fellow Latin Americans who try to see the Caribbean through a Central and Southern American lens - the real race and racism dynamics get obfuscated. Suddenly, we have to argue about what is clearly fact - Bad Bunny and Puerto Ricans are not Americans and are colonial subjects - instead of asking ourselves what whiteness and blackness means in the Caribbean.
Which is often different than the USA. For example, in the USA, one drop of nonwhite blood deems you as nonwhite. In the Caribbean, people were/are eager to “mejorar la raza” (better the race) and erase ties to blackness through legal processes originally invented by the Spanish, and marriages into “white” families, even though the Caribbean is Black. The Caribbean’s strongest cultural ties are precisely in West African cultures. But a lot of Caribbeans won’t accept that, and that’s a strong factor in anti-blackness here. And racism here is often much worse and less discussed than in the United States.
Additionally, the way mestizaje here works means that a fake indigenous (taino) identity are held up over West African ties. Claiming to be indigenous is often a way to distance people from blackness. So there are Latin Americans who don’t understand that it works differently than perhaps in México and Central America (although I took class with an anthropologist who worked in México and saw so much racism from Mexicans that didnt want to admit Black Mexicans exist).
But you wouldn’t be able to see any of this through a USAmerican perspective. Instead you see takes such as “Spanish is a colonial language and we should revitalize indigenous Caribbean languages” that not only do not exist anymore in the Hispanic Caribbean islands, but are claimed by racists.
And the Caribbean being Black? This is were the Bad Bunny discourse goes off the rails, because he repped Bomba, Plena and Merengue which are quite obviously influenced by West African traditions.
Here you have the crowning absurdity of this discourse and the ways in which the Caribbean is in a lose-lose situation with Latin America and the United States. You have both USAmericans and certain Latin Americans who want to claim Bad Bunny as latinx, when, as any Boricua or Dominican will tell you, his music is rooted in Caribbean Black musical traditions.
So, USAmericans on twitter call him white, Latin Americans argue with Caribbeans for pointing out his music is rooted in our experience because “we all are supposed to be Latin Americans” (which latin americanism and Bolivarism is something we should all sit down and Think About What That Means For a Moment). And meanwhile our Spanish is derided as “colonial” (by USAmericans) while Latin Americans and Spaniards have made fun of us for decades (”Soy de Puerto Rico. “Ah vienes de PueLto Lico”) bc our Spanish is colored by West African languages that, for example, didn’t distinguish the L or the R as much at the end of a word.
So, to end this rant, Caribbeans are sandwiched and unrecognized, there are terrible imperialistic takes on the internet, and I get to go on two mile long walks to calm my anger bc I accidentally scrolled too far on my Twitter timeline.
A Fun Fact if you’ve made it this far: Bomba and Jazz share the same cultural tie, just w/ different instruments: Jazz is played on guitars, pianos etc while Bomba gets played on drums. But both are musical genres based in improvisation and West African rhythms. The Bomba dancer and drummer improvise because the drummer has to follow and compete with the dancer. it’s the same cultural tie - West Africa - in different contexts.
#am i going to regret posting this tomorrow? possibly#bad bunny#grammys#its continually amazing to me that I can quote fucking 19th century law#thanks to having to navigate a colonial system#while americans whip out wikipedai as a gotcha. i wanna die.#yall are so lucky its 3 Am bc this essay would be twice as long#if i tackled the he's a straight man discourse bc of his GLAAD award#thats. thats. quite an essay.

Local Search Engine Optimization Efectively to Use
The web is becoming more and more local. Google aligns the results more strongly depending on location-related properties. This helps local businesses to assert themselves against online shops. Localization and the network initially seems implausible. The WWW has often been described as a gateway to the world that allows networking around the world. This is of course correct and makes understanding within international organizations easy. A user who is looking for a service provider does not want to see offers from the other side of the globe, but offers in his immediate vicinity. Through regional SEO, these search queries can be addressed with a regional context for businesses.
Search engines use a variety of techniques to determine a user's location. The user gives the strongest sign himself when he adds a location reference to his search query, eg SEO Agency Hamburg. However, through current procedures and the use of other factors, it is also possible for the search engine providers to locate the approximate location of a user. So it is possible that a search query from NRW shows alternative results than a query from Thuringia.
This potential for customers is best accessed through local search engine optimization. As already explained above, regional search engine optimization also promises a more accurate approach to new customers for classic offline businesses. Regional companies even receive direct funding from Google. Combined maps and Yellow Pages entries, so-called Google Places, help users to find the direct route to a regional company. Institutions receive funding from specialized SEO professionals. Such search engine optimizers have the knowledge to optimize local entries and prepare WWW pages in a targeted manner for local users. Companies can use a new one. In order to optimize a website for local requests, separate factors must be considered,
SEO agencies also offer the service of mobile search engine optimization. Mobile search engine optimization places great technical demands on the agency. With elaborate web design, the different smartphones must be addressed in order to ensure a flawless presentation.

Important Aspects Of Further Education
Education is the strongest strength that anyone can possess. A well-educated person can transform society for the better.
While traditional school and university education remain the essence of learning, students today wish to enhance their knowledge and skills beyond that as well. For this reason, the concept of further education is becoming widely accepted.
In layman’s terms, further education encompasses any and every learning is that beyond the age of sixteen, but not in a formal school or college setting. It may include any course relating to an academic discipline, a vocational course, or a skill development one.
Since this is a popular trend today, students are always on the hunt for a trusted further education service provider.
The professional provider can understand student needs and cater to them adequately. There are many aspects that further learning involves, let us explore some important ones!
1. Curriculum designing
The curriculum of further education is an important factor in deciding its efficiency. Learning goals and objectives have to be fulfilled in the curriculum. Moreover, it should be in accordance with the desired teaching pedagogy.
2. Resource creation
Once an appropriate curriculum has been designed, the necessary resources have to be created. The education provider curates content in the form of handouts, reading material, notes for various subjects, etc.
3. Assessments
Assessments are a vital aspect of any type of education. When it comes to further learning, they become all the more relevant. Since practical knowledge also needs to be assessed apart from theoretical, the assessments must be crafted in an innovative and comprehensive manner. A holistic overview of the student’s performance is given through these.
4. Vocational tools
A further education service provider needs to focus on using a lot of vocational tools. This implies that he or she should facilitate skill development for the learners. Multiple niches can be covered such as arts, designing, management, dance, technical, and alike. The perfect skill development tools yield better learning outcomes.
5. Localized material
Further education does not have a language restriction or more so a common language. Students from various ethnic backgrounds enrol themselves for such courses. Thus, there arises a need for localization. The content and course instructions are translated and interpreted into multiple target languages. Subtitles and captions are also used if needed.
6. Practical experience
If students are going out of their way to acquire some additional skills or knowledge, they expect some practical experience of the same. They want to imply what they learn instead of just mugging up more and more concepts. For this reason, service providers make arrangements so that students can get practical experience in their respective fields from time to time.
7. Consultation
Consultation is an integral component of all learning. Oftentimes students are perplexed and unsure about what they want to or should pursue. In such a scenario, some expert guidance can set them on the right path. Expert consultation is given to students if they need help and profitable decisions are taken.
Conclusion:
Thus, a prolific further education service provider is a must to implement successful further education. The expertise and ability of a qualified person can infuse the much-needed skills and competencies that the students desire. In today’s rapid world, students are growing above and beyond bookish knowledge to upskill themselves.

JJK x FGO because I’m having brainrot
You, who becomes humanity’s last Master and Satoru, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer there is. There’s a lot of things that goes wrong but maybe you two become a right.
*:･ﾟ✧ this is 1.7k+ words and this has a part 2 no im not sorry. there’s a lot of messy exposition and im sorry for t h a t. part 2 will explain the reader’s side of the story
satoru gojo x gn!reader
tw: very messy plotlines of fate lore (tracing and magecraft, mystic eyes, mage’s association, the clock tower, fate grand order lore), swearing, spoilers on shibuya arc, my hcs and views on gojo satoru (idk if this counts as a warning but it’s really how I view him as a character)
• Okay, but imagine it-you a budding jujutsu sorcerer, aiming to be the strongest there is. You had decent amounts of cursed energy and decent cursed techniques, you were ready to aim to the top to be the best sorcerer there is!
• ... Sure, maybe you didn't belong to a renowned jujutsu family (your mom and dad is just your average office worker), maybe you didn't have anything to your name (if your name ranking first at a Wangan racing game at the arcade was anything to your name), but at least you had something unique!
• You dubbed it as 'Tracing'. It was something similar to making objects out of cursed energy, but it extended more than that. You immediately knew the blueprint of any cursed weapon, tracing on the body as an exact replica is implanted in your memory. It doesn't extend to just weaponry; cursed techniques suddenly became easier for you to copy and paste. No matter how unique and hard it was, you were able to date back to the time it was created, the amount of polishing by ancestors of the craft, and the history of the technique. Because of your 'Tracing', you were readily accepted into the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.
• ... But still, your uniqueness can be summarized as tracing other people's success. Regardless of the pain, you had to endure for you to learn a thousand-year-old technique, the pain of having blood weep through your eyes as you were a one-trick pony (but then you had to wonder, aren't most of the old jujutsu sorcerers also one-trick ponies?)
• Regardless, you were trying to live your high school life and exterminate curses even with the prejudice that you were piggybacking off of other sorcerer's strenuous techniques. Maybe it was because of your ideals and your completely normal background is how you caught his attention...
• Having to interact with Satoru Gojo was a rare chance... a really, really rare chance.
• It was often that you see the white-haired teen training with his best friend. You didn't bother trying to talk to him as he makes it apparent that he doesn't want anyone to talk to him as if they were equals. With how perfectly blue his eyes were as if they were the sky itself, you figured that his jujutsu was all the avoidance that you needed (even though you thought his jujutsu looked so pretty).
• Because you were curious about how his jujutsu works (because even your senpais don't know how his eyes works, more like they don't want to associate with him), you did the best thing that you could think of:
• Go to the library.
• It’s a really simple solution and you doubted that old sorcerers recorded the Six Eyes as part of the school’s library system but shit did you want to feast your eyes on how it works. Sure, the knowledge you were seeking was for personal gain, but you can’t help but want to witness something so mysterious and powerful.
• Who knew that you would be getting the research from the source itself?
“Hah?” The white-haired male drawled out, pushing his shades up as if he was the most important man alive. “If it ain’t the copy-cat! What do I owe the pleasure?”
• You now know how your senpais were feeling whenever they see Gojo. He has this... aura that just radiates that he’s untouchable. Factor in his almost otherworldly and ethereal appearance, he looks as if he doesn’t belong in the same stage as you are. If you were any other normal person, you would buckle under the weight of his stare.
• But you weren’t exactly considered normal. “So how do your Six Eyes work exactly?”
• For the first time in his life, Satoru Gojo was at a loss for words.
• Gojo doesn’t care about other sorcerers because why the hell would he? He and Suguru were the strongest there ever were, why would he give his time to some nameless nobodies? The only people that he remembers were his close friends and to some extent, you. You who went into his life as if his status doesn’t stop you. And he doesn’t know whether he wanted that or not. He hasn’t felt so personally attacked by someone who just screams pure intent.
• Well, pure in the sense that you don’t have any ulterior motive towards Gojo. You were only curious about how his Six Eyes work and that was it. Unfortunately, your curiosity is a weapon for Gojo. He would tease you for not giving you the satisfaction of knowing as he knows how your jujutsu works. He’s seen how you trained yourself to will those techniques for your body to handle, he has to give respect to you. He’s seen how you train and he hates how he relates to someone so average (in Suguru’s terms, a goddamn monkey).
• He wanted to hate you because you were so damn persistent on tracing his Six Eyes but he can’t bring himself to when you seem to see him as Satoru and not Gojo. For once in his life, he doesn’t have to put up a front (he still does, when you try to snatch his shades away). Your self-righteousness and naivety towards him is incredibly annoying that he wants to tear it down but he doesn’t want to lose what he has with you. He’s felt what it’s like to be a normal high school student. Sure, he and Suguru mess around and do stupid things, but he has an entire sorcerer family backing him. You don’t belong in an important sorcerer family, you don’t have any unique jujutsu (although he can’t lie that he’s curious about where yours stemmed from. As far as he’s known, he hasn’t met anyone who has that jujutsu technique).
• But he realizes later on in his life that you were someone missing in his life. Someone having this normalcy that Satoru thinks he no longer has the privilege to attain. He has someone so grounded in his grasp that it made his stomach churn. He has someone to eat sweets with and review it as if you two were Michelin-star chefs, he plays with you on Wangan to compete for first place (he lost. Horribly), he’s met your civilian parents and he has to fight from using his Infinity on them from just how close they were towards him as if he was your longtime friend.
• He didn’t want to put a label on this. Not yet. Not when he wasn’t sure himself despite the beating of his heart each time you held his hand when you two are on a sweets spree. Despite how his face warms when you poke his cheek to ask about Tracing his Six Eyes again. Despite how you make him so weak in the knees--for the first time time in his life; Gojo Satoru was scared.
• But then you were expelled from the institution.
• Years later, with a blindfold hiding his eyes and dragging the first years in another Tokyo excursion, he’s casted his old feelings like trash. He has to when his best friend started a mass genocide and his high school crush left when he came back from a mission without saying goodbye. This loneliness was stifling to him at first, but he would rather take this loneliness than being scared just like when he was back in high school.
• But at least, that’s what he thinks to himself. He still remembers how you were expelled; a cursed object (at least, that’s what you two believed it to be) the size of a goblet but for whatever reason, he doesn’t know what it was. He hasn’t seen this in his life, hell, he was sure Suguru didn’t know about this either. So why is it then, that the elders who didn’t give a shit about you, suddenly honed in on you as if you were a part of the big three families and took you away. He wasn’t even there to try and stop them as he was away in another mission, but he wished that he could’ve pushed his mission away to someone else for him to help you.
• Even if he threatened the higher ups in extreme ways, he could never get a proper answer. Even when he has the grail secure in his grasp and hid securely in his household, he still doesn’t know. He can sense the energy emanating from the grail and he wasn’t idiotic to have anyone else touch the grail but he can’t really make any hasty decision. He would’ve continued to keep the grail in secret until you sent him letters from where you were.
• Unfortunately, you can’t use cellular phones or the Internet to contact people from the outside. The Mage’s Association at the Clock Tower in England was hell for you, with all the restrictions and prejudice against foreigners, especially to someone with your caliber. The best thing that you could ever get contact was mailing letters, no matter how outdated it may be. You hoped that the postal office still delivers letters so that you can catch up with Satoru and Suguru.
• You were happy to hear (read?) that they were doing well (but for a while, Suguru hasn’t written back nor did Satoru mention him in his letters at all). Despite wanting to write about lighter and happier things, you couldn’t ignore the elephant in the room. When you read that he hid the Holy Grail in his possession, you wrote in your letter-excessively-that he should keep it in his hands until you graduate from the Clock Tower. The way you ominously wrote the letter didn’t sit well with you so you wrote some more.
“I know I’m being too cryptic. I’m sorry. But once I graduate here, I’ll spend time with you as long as you want! I even got some dessert cakes that I bought ready to get eaten by you because I know you’re a sucker for them.
I miss you... so so much. When I come back home, I’ll tell you everything-from my expulsion, to my time here, to whatever things left unsaid, I’ll--”
• Before you could write more, your roommate barged in your shared flat. You nearly ruined the letter with a messy, black streak until your blood ran cold from whatever they said.
“You’re getting moved to Chaldea Security Branch!”
