imaging early charlie's struggles with newly not-as-much-of-a-murderer vaggie like-
Charlie: (shows of a doodle of vaggie) "This is you!"
Vaggie: "Okay?" (she drew FANART of me???)
Charlie: "And this red color-" (points to doodle) "-is you anger level."
Vaggie: "....all of me is in red."
Charlie: (contemplative) "Yes. It's unusually high, for someone of your size."
Vaggie: "Look. If this is about that demon from yesterday-"
Charlie: "It's about that demon from today."
Vaggie: "What, her? She bumped into you! On purpose!! She basically walked herself right onto my spear-"
Charlie: "You threw it at her head from across store!"
Vaggie: "And if it wasn't for her stupid, perfectly-timed sneeze-"
Charlie: "You're lucky she sneezed right then- she was giving you weird looks the whole time I was yanking the spear outta the wall and dragging you away!!"
Vaggie: "I could've taken her."
Charlie: "She was an overlord, Vaggie, and six feet taller than you."
Vaggie: "She'd've been a foot and half less taller with her head missing."
Charlie: "Okay."
Charlie: (drawing a new doodle of vaggie) "This is you ALIVE. THIS-" (taps doodle aggressively) "-is our long-term goal!"
Vaggie: ".....our?" (gay) (disbelieving)
Charlie: "..." (bi) (desperate)
Charlie: "...SO! WHO WANTS PIZZA!?"

max the sucking/fucking dichotomy reminds me. i think u would very much enjoy the game dildo-knife. you draw a graph on a whiteboard (or a blog) and you secretly determine two axes to plot things on.
(classically the game is introduced with 'utility as a knife' and 'utility as a dildo' hence the name)
then the other participants suggest items, and you plot them on the graph according to their values. when people think they know the meaning of the axes they may try to guess them as well. the game ends when both axes have been guessed
oh my god this is so good!

Apparently I reached the option limit and can't list Solomon, but if you truly think that he would win send me your dissertation in the comments because I'd need to be convinced.

Pomodoro and Cornell study technique: PART 1
having an exemplary method for taking and reviewing notes is imperative if you want to improve your understanding of the material covered in class.
Cornell note-taking method
what is it
the Cornell method is a note-taking method that aims to improve grades by creating a more efficient note-reviewing system
the process
the page is split into three distinct sections (the note-taking area, the cue column and the summary area) and each has a specific purposes
during the lesson notes should be recorded within the "note-taking section". in this section of the page aim to write notes that are as complete and informative as possible. when you get to summarizing the notes, it will be helpful as you will have more to work from
the cue column is the area to the side of the page where words that are specific but relatable to the notes go. this column plays a major role when it comes to reciting the information and assessing how much of the information you truly understand. these words should act as gentle reminders or prompts for the content covered in the "note-taking area". filling in this column should be left until after class when more time can be allocated to thinking of a suitable word
the summary should reiterate the content from the "note-taking area" and rephrase it in a simpler way that uses fewer words. it can be found at the bottom of the page and makes it easier, at a glance, to see what is covered in the notes
Tumblr media
why use this method
as you can see due to the colour coding each section works together in this method to achieve the 5 R's of studying
record
recording meaningful facts and ideas in the "note-taking section". at this point, it doesn't need to be neat. just an area to quickly get important information down
reduce
in the clue column choose a specific relevant word for each paragraph to act as clues for what the paragraph as a whole is talking about. This helps to clarify meanings, reinforces continuity and improves memory
recite
cover up the note-taking section and, using those "specific relevant words " in the clue column try and write down the information from the notes from memory. using this method of reciting means that you can visibly see the gaps in your knowledge
reflect
find out how the notes are relevant to your course of study or class and make your own opinions on the process or organisation. Knowing its relevancy helps to avoid it being forgotten as it implies that you have a deeper understanding of the matter
review
spend at least 10 minutes a week going over the notes and testing yourself on the subject matter in order to fully ensure that you understand
the website used to gather this information

ACOTAR 6 Theory
Here's my crack theory in it's barest form. This is meant to be fun, since now we know magic beans exist, so nothing matters anymore. But here is what my mind has been churning around since my CC reread and preview on SJMs website.:
(Spoilers for CC2, ACOSF, and the Prologue and First Chapter of HOFAS)
The girls in Koschei's lake are mystics and he's using them to glean information about the trove via going into people's minds or outright spying inside spaces that should otherwise be warded. Hence, "shadows can be blinded". I think he needs some combination of the Trove and Truth Teller to break his confines (for what? Here's where I'm not sure. At present, I do think he is Asteri, which is another word for Daglan and Death God, and he was entrapped by one of the OG fae rebellion who threw the Asteri out. Yes, this means his "siblings" the Bone Carver & Weaver would also be diminished Asteri not at their full powers)
Rigelus drops hints about having a masterful plan that he completely orchestrated via manipulating every event to work into what the Asteri need. This includes "tugging" people to do what he wanted (Hunt & Bryce joining the rebellion to activate their gifts etc) without them even realizing what was happening. He was aware of everyone's actions, because of the mystics. So nobody willingly betrayed Bryce/Hunt/Ruhn & co. It happened because he simply had access to that information and he played them like chess pieces on a game he was always going to win.
My theory banks entirely on Koschei playing the same game, which I believe was hinted to us via the "I've been preparing for you for a long time" line in ACOSF. Bearing that in mind, if he does truly want Truth Teller and the trove, who else is conveniently looking for information about the trove? Merrill. Who conveniently got information about the trove from TWO PEOPLE who were asked NOT to share said information? Merrill. Seems like the type of strings some overarching Big Bad would pull to get the chess pieces to align in such a way to bring the trove to himself without him doing any of the work. **
Also conveniently, what does the IC have at their disposal to also be able to glean information about a shadowed foe? A Seer. Granted, Elain has already said that most of Koschei is all "mist and shadow", but perhaps there will be a way to break through that mist and shadow (maybe using truth teller, which she was able to wield and possibly winnow with........But that's a theory for another time). Perhaps she will need to start shielding her unwarded mind of "tangled vines" to keep him out. Perhaps she can use tangled vines to get through his mist and shadow.
There's other pieces to this theory that I'm not discussing because they involve spoilers for CC3. But I wanted all of this in one place so I can come back to it later and adjust/erase/refine as needed once I have the actual book in my hands tomorrow <3
** The Merrill-is-Compromised Theory has already been discussed by several other beautiful people in this fandom, and if you can tag them in the comments, I'll add to this post. TY!!!

Ok. Ok but. "You came back wrong." No you didn't, darling. You came back changed. You may as well say that you came back and I was wrong, because I changed too. How could someone go through what you went through without changing? Your skin feels too tight? Those limbs, not your own? Memories scrambled, crying when most would laugh, shadows in the corners of your eyes. Yes, you came back different. And maybe you'll never be the way you were. That's the curse of being alive, love. You'll never be who you were yesterday, and yesterday you were not who you were the day before. But I loved who you were last year, last week, yesterday, and I'll love every you every tomorrow. And you've never turned your back on me for changing, so why would I do that to you? You came back and I was wrong, because how could I go through losing you without changing? Hold your hand a little tighter, listen to your breathing a little closer, and maybe one day I'll change again and relax in your arms again, but for now you belong resting in mine, whoever you are, because I didn't bring you back just to blame you for being alive.

I don’t know what army drill sergeants are like, but I have been through marine boot camp and I’ll tell you some drill instructor stories/facts if you wanna hear.
At the beginning of recruit training, you meet your drill instructors. They recite something called the drill instructor creed to you. You can google it, but one thing that really stuck out is that they say “thoroughly indoctrinated,” they actually use those words. Like they come out in front of you all and say they’ll indoctrinate you.
The stated purpose of the screaming and insults is to get you used to stress. They talk to everybody as if they’re gonna go infantry. Like, I’m just a pencil pusher in the air wing, but they will talk to everybody as if we’re all going to be in trenches someday with mortar rounds pouring down on us. “If you can’t handle drill instructor sergeant so-and-so screaming at you, you’re not going to be able to handle an actual battle”
I don’t think any of my drill instructors had combat MOS’s, but they would still talk it up like combat is a fact for every military member. I remember our senior saying something like “if you think boot camp is bad, maybe you should watch your best friend fucking burst into flames in front of you. Puts things into perspective.”
As another, specific example of this. Our drill instructor was once counting us down, and somebody at the last second ran to the bathroom to grab something they forgot (I don’t remember what). DI says “BITCH WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING” and he says “SIR THIS RECRUIT FORGOT HIS BLAH BLAH BLAH” and our DI stopped screaming and just says “so, if an enemy plane was flying overhead, and you moved, and gave away your position, and got the motherfucker next to you killed, and he doesn’t get to go to home to his family… would you be able to take that back?”
The screaming is two-way. This is generally not accurately portrayed in movies, most likely because it would be profoundly unpleasant to listen to. The most you’ll see in movies is them saying something like “I can’t hear you maggot,” but they are actually demanding top volume screaming every time. Every single thing you say you have to scream as loud as you can, and they’ll scream at you while you do it. Everyone loses their voice in the first couple weeks
There are a lot of drill instructors who have perpetually raspy voices as a result of the screaming. At that point you never hear them scream, just whisper in a raspy voice. If you as a marine want to imitate a drill instructor, you just do a raspy voice and say something like “that’s crazy, recruit” and everyone will get what you’re doing
What you were calling “smoking” is technically called “ITing,” IT is short for Incentive Training. It is officially forbidden to IT an actual Marine, it’s considered hazing. You can only do it to recruits in boot camp. Our senior told us that it’s a punishment, but it will also make you stronger. ITing as a punishment often happens in groups, and/or you’ll often be overtly punished for someone else’s actions.
Doing things properly under stress is really emphasized in boot camp. Like, there is a proper way to address everyone, to hold things, to walk, to do ANYTHING, and if you fuck it up they immediately start screaming. For example, you have to refer to every single person by their full billet title and rank, like you can’t just say “Sgt XYZ” he’s “Drill Instructor Sgt XYZ.” Some titles get really long, because they’ll specify more stuff, like, try remembering under stress “lead series chief drill instructor gunnery sergeant so-and-so.” When you talk directly to people though, it’s just sir or ma’am. You have to say the proper greeting, and you have to request permission to speak before saying what you wanna say. You cannot say first person pronouns, you refer to yourself as “this recruit,” refer to everyone in a group as “these recruits,” and use third person pronouns for any following mentions. “Sir this recruit was filling his canteen sir,” for example. Here is an example of an ideal interaction which goes well, you’re a recruit who wants to go to the bathroom:
>“good morning sir, recruit max1461 requests permission to speak to senior drill instructor staff sergeant triviallytrue sir”
>“what bitch?”
>“sir, recruit max1461 requests permission to make a head call sir”
>“run.”
>“aye sir, received sir, good morning sir”
Now of course, you’re screaming at the top your lungs, your drill instructor is screaming at the top of their lungs, and they will start blasting the fuck out of you if any part of this ideal interaction breaks down. Suppose you don’t scream loud enough, suppose you forget to ask permission to speak, suppose you forget the proper greeting, suppose you say a proper greeting at the wrong time of day, like “good morning” when it’s the afternoon, suppose you say “I” or “me,” suppose you fuck up the billet or the rank or the name, suppose you say “yes sir” instead of “aye sir,” suppose you say “bathroom” or “toilet” or any other normal word besides “head,” suppose you add an extraneous word like “emergency head call” or “desperate head call,” suppose you say “thank you” or nothing instead of “received,” or forget the second proper greeting and just run off, all of these offenses could and would warrant a blasting from your drill instructor, and might lead you to a situation where they tell you to run, only to immediately scream “get baaaack” before telling you to run again
There’s a great book called Making The Corps where a Marine interviewed everyone he went to boot camp with including old DI’s and officers and he organized it all into a chronological narrative book. Highly recommend if this subject interests you. The movie Full Metal Jacket is very accurate portrayal of 60s boot camp (R. Lee Ermey was a real drill instructor), but boot camp got massively overhauled back in the 80s so even when the movie came out it was more a portrait of the past. Notice they’re all called “privates” instead of recruits,” and they don’t refer to themselves in the third person. Some of the obstacle courses you see aren’t used as frequently anymore, and they never go through Basic Warrior Training or the Crucible
Drill instructor school is a repeat of boot camp, except everyone takes turns being drill instructors. I saw a bit of it. They were all standing in a formation like recruits, and there was like, a chain of two drill instructors. One is screaming at the guys in formation, the other was screaming at the guy screaming at the guys in formation. “FUCKING CORRECT HIM! BLAST THEM! SCREEEAAAAM!”
I like that triviallytrue is the drill sergeant
