The nearest kind of association is not mere perceptual cognition, but, rather, a handling, using, and taking care of things which has its own kind of 'knowledge.'

Hello!

I kinda have an idea of classpect for all the archons except Morax. Not sure what to give him, Blood? (contract and bond and all)

What do you think is god tier is?

I’d say that Mr. Morax would b a Mage of Blood!

Experiencing bonds both contractual and familial throughout his immortal life.

Archives!!! Do people ever record statements you collect here, for archivist enrichment? And if so is there a tag for that?

The archives are currently lacking the equipment, manpower, and time needed to produce audio recordings of statements. Not enthusiasm though, and if we do get to recording audio, we will announce a tag for it.

What do you think the Wednesday crew would be as DnD classes VS what do you think they'd choose to play?

oo thats a fun question!

wednesday: she'd pick necromancy wizard and also IS a necromancy wizard. i could also see her playing a swarmkeeper ranger, grave cleric, or mutant bloodhunter, if she's feeling fancy

enid: she'd pick either circle of the moon druid or a beastmaster ranger but is actually a totem warrior barbarian (wolf totem, obviously)

bianca: i dont think she would ever willingly play d&d but she'd BE a college of glamour bard

xavier: he'd pick an arcana domain cleric or enchanter wizard but is a shadow magic sorcerer

tyler: he'd probably pick something like battlemaster fighter, but he'd be either an oathbreaker paladin or a pact of the archfey warlock

eugene: he'd be and play a swarmkeeper ranger with a swarm of bees. enough said

Real knowledge arises through confrontation with real things.

from Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work by Matthew B. Crawford 

do you know who else likes horoscopes and astrology? teenage girls. it’s my very strong held belief that the girls on shinchan’s class adore him. maybe in the first week the girls sat in front if him were gossiping with each other about boys, and one of them was complaining and the other scoffs “god, i bet he’s a libra” and shinchan snorts. thus quickly making it know to the entire freshman grade girls that shinchan is without a doubt the expert on the subject. they be making star charts and calculating couple odds, planning perfect days for outings etc etc. the girl next class who plays tarot and shinchan have a Reputation, they’re revered guides and advisers. one bad word out of shinchan’s mouth will tank any boy’s chance at getting dates (not only bc of the horoscope thing but bc actually shinchan is a very sweet weirdo who has a strong moral code). between shinchan’s army of devoted girls and his biceps, and later on takao, the boys of his class maintain a very health respect for him. and that’s wo even considering his basketball mythos.

i like the vibes of most of this, but i think there's more of a western, irreverent treatment of horoscopes + superstition going on in your depiction anon.

bc i'm diaspora chinese, i can't speak for japanese culture. but it's been kinda agreed amongst a lot of my asian friends (huge demographic where i grew up) that we're all culturally superstitious.

it wouldn't be a "ugh i bet he's a libra" type remark. the girls would be worried, full discussion "idk if B-kun is compatible... he's been blah blah blah..." and her friend might pull up the latest magazine and say "what was he, again? libra? we should consult. get his blood type, too?"

and our weirdo shin-chan wouldn't be able to help but "hmph. a libra with AB-blood type is highly untrustworthy. this will not end well for you" (it's also a thing to ascribe blood typing with personality typing, too)

first girl starts whimpering and is about to burst into tears, the other girls glare at shin-chan for being so tactless

=

but it plays out as he says. turns out, 'B-kun' was double-dipping girls from different schools.

=

the reputation evolves. if you can brave the cold tsun-tsun front that is shintaro midorima's everything (having takao around to shit on him helps), catch him on a good day, he will be willing to disseminate your horoscope concerns. but this is a guy who is not direct when it comes to helping people, believes in people needing to do their best to get the best payout (so if it feels like people are using him as lazy google rather than as a genuine in-depth resource he's not helping).

he shares an unspoken mutual respect with tarot-chan in the next class over.

=

eh he might see the type of things that the girls are devoted to (re: dating and love) as a bit frivolous, but he'll acknowledge the ones that are putting their full effort into success. there's understanding that develops.

he's like the class pet lmao.

after seeing him go through death without his lucky items and takao's very real fear that the shin-chan event horizon could also threaten his life, there is a very healthy respect for everything shintaro midorima. leave him to his own happenings. he's the class cryptid. the teachers might scold him but his classmates just deal with it. the boys start jokingly (but not really,, but what if...?) asking for shin-chan's blessings on things

"i am not a priest nanodayo" >:(

they have to rearrange the class display for the school festival because shin-chan got bad vibes lol

oh yeah, the boys are more secretive about it but they also ask for his consultations on dating compatibility - this one is even funnier bc takao basically sharks them for a consultations. and uses the money to buy the two of them snacks

❛ is this seat taken? sorry, it’s a bit crowded here. ❜ / lumi.....

Seldom are the times that Lumine decides to indulge in him in a manner she would usually do so behind closed doors, away from the peering eyes of the world, but when she does Tetsuya has to make a conscious fight against a tickling urge to laugh. Why, he can count the many times she would allow herself to be selfish in public in a single hand and when she does it is always in something, Tetsuya would deem, as a little spectacle for him specifically. Or at least he finds it rather humorous. It is so ridiculously endearing, it adds to her charm he supposes, he'll give her that. It adds to her charm and it provides him with a little source of entertainment. It's no secret to neither of them that Lumine's favorite spot to sit is on his lap, time and time again she does it when it's just them out and about or in her humble abode of a realm that she's got in that teapot of hers. She was so bold as to claim his lap her own personal favorite spot to the point where she just does it without consulting with him first and of course he allows her to get away with such a thing. Who is he to deny his darling something such as that? Besides, he gets to have her close, so truthfully, who's benefiting off of her liking for sitting on his lap. Tetsuya would say it's him of course.

To her credit the bar is rather full, at least if one doesn't take the time to scan it properly. There's a couple of empty stray chairs here and about that she could use and he's wondering if she's noticed them or not. Lumine is quite observant so there is simply no way she hasn't caught wind of them, he's most certainly not about to bring them up though. "You mean the seat that's specifically reserved just for you?" He rewords her question in a way that is more appropriate. Nobody has rights to his lap, only she does, she should be thankful. What a lucky girl she is. It is a privilege after all, not a right

His face threatens to betray him, the bubbling of contained laugher brewing within him at why she simply does not say that she just wants to sit on his lap. So, he brings his hand over his mouth, as if to ponder her question when there's no need to. The knowing look on his eyes more than likely giving him away already. His problem is that his face will tell you before his words do, it's still a work in progress, however he has come to note that this only tends to happen in situations where he's being... genuine. In situations where it is required for him to act a certain part because of circumstance, he can pull the act. A class act even, worthier than any seasoned actor with countless of awards for notches on their belt. (Give him his Oscar, Leonardo DiCaprio who? Robert De Niro where?). Though that is neither here or there for with an exhale he's able to simply chuckle that laughter off before nodding his head to her, abiding to what she desires even if she did go about it in such a silly way. Almost like she's embarrassed to just ask him. He makes a mental note to do something about this unsolicited shame of hers that's rather loud in public... his darling doesn't even know the taste of shame when they're tangled up in the sheets of her bed. She probably even forgets that embarrassment and shame are a thing. Perhaps a little project for him to keep himself pleasantly entertained with later. He folds the idea as if it's a little note and tucks it away inside that brain of his.

"Go ahead darling." He grants her request with a well-controlled smile, a small nod of his head. "Your throne awaits," he can't help himself but to tease much to her chagrin more than likely as she takes her seat upon his lap, making herself comfortable. Once she has done so, Tetsuya, who arguably may lack far too much of the sense of shame, wraps his arms around her, embracing her. Does he care that he lacks shame? No, of course not. He believes that makes him a far more tasteful individual by default, compared to the common people anyway. "Next time," he begins softly against her ear, "just say you want to sit on my lap. There's nothing to be embarrassed about, okay?" As if to motivate her further he presses a soft kiss upon her shoulder to seal his point.
