If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

It indeed is

I can’t believe I thought at the start of this degree that engineering was going to be knowing a bunch of formulas and putting numbers into them for the answers. not anymore buckaroo

u make the formulas from physics derivations, and put that into a computer that does all the mathematical modelling for you

never seeing a number again

Ever since I was a child I knew my greater calling: to organize, to sort, to arrange in little boxes

It’s their greatest invention as of yet

Shouting my thoughts into the void while reading the Shadow Saga-

Peter Wiggins character development across all the stories was so well done and it's rare to see so many facets of a single, non primary character. He is imbedded across both Ender's and Bean's storylines yet each one reflects different traits. While Ender's storyline goes into Peter as his baseline, cunning self (Ender's own experience of his brother) while Bean's storyline shows him as human, with the need to be considered by his parents as something more than 'Ender's brother'.

Also, it's interesting to see how the Wiggin parents interact with Peter. It's almost funny how there's a little spite to it all, even through they clearly support him as Hegemon. They're also great characters who are built across the story it's so well done

Ofc the stories become disjointed some times, with some themes falling short and Petra's loss of character growth, but I feel like Peter, John Paul, and Teresa become really elaborate characters in ways that weren't necessarily expected
