Miles Is Taller Than 42-miles Because Of His Spider Bite. This Is Like When Your Younger Brother Have

based on a real conversation I had with my brother just now. which means you can do the dragon tier list

Alright, *cracks knuckles* here we go,,

1. Iconic lines:

“The three of you are a team. You’re going to work together and fight together and, yes, even eat together, for the next five years. I have chosen you not just as individuals, but as a combination. No one else will be joining you, because that would alter the combination.”

- the only thing rufus did right

Aaron stood up, gripping his fork in his hand. He looked furious.

“It wasn’t your spot,” he spat out at Jasper. “It’s more than just points. It’s about who the Master wants to teach — and I can see exactly why Master Rufus didn’t want you.”

- EVERYBODY CHEERED, ATE THAT BTCH UP MAN

They all yelled in excitement. Tamara yelled because she was happy, Aaron yelled because he liked it when other people were happy, and Call yelled because he was sure they were going to die.

- theyr so silly i love them 🥺🫶💕

2. Omg lore ok

The quincunx - fire, earth, water, air, and chaos

- ngl i forgot about the order of the elements so thats epic

4th rule of magic. You can change a thing’s shape, but not its essential nature.

- ok i remembered this one, but i think the authors did forget tho, would be rlly cool to see this more idk

Dispersing rogue elementals before they can cause harm is one of the important tasks mages are responsible for, he’d said. If they feel threatened, they can disperse back into their element. It takes them a lot of energy to coalesce again.

- huh.

3. Id rate this 7/10

Id say its better than the first 5 chapters, chapter 6-10 needs some work but it was enjoyable enough.

They did an excellent job in exploring the characters and their dynamics here. Thats huge plus for me.

4. I wish they expanded more on the other lessons thats not sand stuff

Magisterium is very much a school. And the fact that the main trio only gets their general magic education once a week then goes back to sand sorting is awful to do to kids.

It's incredibly unrealistic for them to be able to pull off other magic spells without practice. Its one thing to know it in theory and another to actually do it. I understand what theyr going for with the "learning control" sand lesson thing, but its also another to apply what u learn on a completely different thing. You can't just go from earth bending to air bending in one go all cuz u "learned control". They learned how to control sand. Sand has completely different properties from fire!!!

HE DIDN'T TEACH THEM ANYTHING OMFG. HE DIDN'T EVEN TEACH THEM HOW TO MOVE THE SAND- THEY FIGURED IT OUT ON THEIR OWN- AND HES JUST GON LET THEM COMPETE?!?!?????

and don't get me started on the wyverns istg.

One thing that i get out of rereading tit is slowly but surely disliking rufus even more istg.

DAY 2 OF TIT BOOK CLUB

(really sorry for the really late post, tumblr was a bitch and didn't post my post 2 hours ago when I originally made it) ANYWAY

Here's the prompts for today! Answer them at your leisure and remember to have fun!

What is the most iconic line in the chapters you've read? (keep in mind when I say "iconic line" i also refer to really funny lines, such as a snarky comment from call)

[For me, it's this!

“I’m going to kill you,” Tamara said very calmly. “I am going to sort your guts into piles.”]

2. What is the thing that you forgot about (piece of lore, something that happened, a character line) but upon your reread you remembered it and you're genuinely shocked by it?

[For me, it's the fact that Rufus told Call the reason he took him as apprentice is to punish himself 💀]

3. Rate these chapters as well! Are they better than the first five? Worse? [I like the first five chapters more, i give these ones a 7.1]

4. (optional) Something you wish would've been added at this point in time specifically

[I would've preferred if we got some lore drops about the mage world, but that's just me!]

Pt 1.

Animal Communication class with Princess Uma

Prev // Next

I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that Sophie was the only one kidnapped, and Agatha literally broke out of Gavaldon and trekked through the Woods to go and rescue her, and she pulled up to the Good reception desk (my subconscious did not remember there was not such a thing) looking like absolute shit with mud and twigs and everything all over her like 'hi I think my friend's here I'm looking for her' and whoever it was behind the desk (possibly Anemone icr) was like

But then Dovey started trying to gaslight Agatha into believing she was meant to be there as a student (typical) and Tedros was there briefly but then I gained full consciousness rather than partial consciousness and thought 'well that's not the plot of 2013 hit novel The School For Good And Evil'

If you're ever worried about whether your writing is too self indulgent, I just want you to remember that Sharknado had 5 sequels. I'm only partway through watching Sharknado 6: It's About Time, but already they've traveled through time and ridden a pteronadon into a Sharknado so they could use the magic teleportation portal inside of it to travel forward in time to King Arthur's time, where they are currently battling a Sharknado full of fire-breathing dragon sharks with Excalibur, which is a chainsaw sword that calls lightning. You're fine. In fact, be a little more self indulgent if anything.

Why Tedros of Camelot is not a Mary Sue

I’ve seen a bunch of people on the SGE wiki calling Tedros a Mary Sue/Marty Stu/Gary Stu and I disagree so here’s a FRICKING ESSAY.

WARNING: This is gonna be a full-blown essay. Also I’m using Mary Sue as a gender neutral term because I don’t see the point in the term Gary Stu but I’m not opening that can of worms…Also, very mild book 3 and 4 spoilers.

DISCLAIMER: I’m tired and grumpy. I’m not trying to attack anyone with this post and I am not usually this tired or this grumpy. But today I’m tired and grumpy. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08YRWuK4bso watch this because I’m too tired to repeat her message.

Reasons why Tedros of Camelot is not a Mary Sue

1) Tedros has flaws.

Mary Sues are flawless characters - and this includes characters whose flaws are physical things, or things other people have done to them. Mary Sues are “X character is kind and brave and caring and has unlimited superpowers but they have two different coloured eyes and their parents hate them so they’re totally flawed.”

Tedros is not flawless. Tedros is stupid. Reckless. Impulsive. He holds grudges. He is stubborn. He values his pride too much, which leads him to land everyone in trouble. He is absolutely terrible at communicating. He has SERIOUS trust issues. Did I mention he’s stupid?

But this doesn’t make him a bad character, because…

2) Tedros grows as a character.

I would argue that Tedros is the character who goes through the most character development throughout the series. Tedros begins the books as someone who sees the world as black and white. He is someone who believes he knows the boundaries between good and evil, and refuses to change those views. Take his first proper scene with Agatha, for example. When Tedros sees the gargoyle in Agatha’s arms, he doesn’t stop to ask himself what is going on - he instantly categorizes the gargoyle as evil, and kills it. Even when Agatha protests that the gargoyle was innocent, he just considers her evil by association. He does the same thing with his mother - he resents his mother for abandoning him, so he paints her as the villain of the story, building up his father as a hero, despite having seen his father’s descent into paranoia and alcoholism. He refuses to change his views of Arthur = good and Guinevere = bad. He also holds grudges and doesn’t trust his princess, despite Agatha often knowing better then him.

But throughout the books, Tedros learns. He learns that people are multifaceted, and that there is more to people than Ever or Never, boy or girl. He learns to swallow his pride and let Agatha take the lead. He learns to put away his prejudices and admit his own flaws. He even learns to forgive his mother, and actually listens to her side of the story. And even though he does have a bit of a backslide in book 4, he apologizes and proceeds to be more careful about his actions. In fact, he does this even better than Agatha, who continues to keep trying to take charge even in book 6, when it’s not her battle to fight. (No hate to Agatha. It’s just that Tedros’s arc is slightly more impressive.)

3) Tedros is not a personality vaccum.

Part of the problem with Mary Sues is that they cause everyone around them to lose all personality beyond what is needed to make the Sue look good, as the whole universe’s point is to make them look good. The world literally revolves around a Mary Sue. A smart character cannot be as smart as the Sue, an edgy character cannot have a backstory which is more tragic than the Sue’s, an attractive character cannot be as attractive as the Sue, etc.

But with SGE, this is clearly not the case. Every major character has a reasonably developed and multifaceted personality. (Except Anadil, but Anadil’s whole thing is that she doesn’t have a personality.) Think of Hester - she was introduced as Sophie’s edgy, cool, black-hearted rival. But as the books progress, we see a different side to Hester: she is very driven and determined to prove herself as more than a girl, as seen when Evelyn Sader revamps the school, she is very emotionally mature, as shown when she doesn’t hold a grudge against Hansel and Gretel, and she clearly cares about her close friends a lot - even though Dot is constantly the butt of Hester and Anadil’s jokes, they are willing to do anything to protect her, even attacking the Sheriff.

Another example is Reena - she is present throughout the books as Beatrix’s sidekick, and she is often thought of as nothing more than that, as Sophie explicitly states. But in book 6 she suddenly takes control, revealing herself to be a strong leader, quick-thinking and smart and a QUEEN.

This started as me defending Tedros and dissolved into me just stanning best girls Hester and Reena……..anyway back to the show.

4) JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE A CHARACTER, THAT DOESN’T MAKE THEM A MARY SUE.

Being stuck up is not a Mary Sue characteristic. Being perfect is. Look me in the eyes and tell me this dopey golden retriever of a prince is perfect.

In conclusion:

Tedros is not a Mary Sue. He is a bicon and a puppy and I love him.

(Thoughts on OTK coming soon!)

Kinda late participation post but huzzah

1. Fave lines:

"I think you deserve an ice-cream sundae — the biggest one we can get — on the way home. Your favorite kind, with butterscotch, peanut butter, and Gummi Bears. Okay?”

- i forgot that call is a kid with weird and crazy af preferences cuz wdym ice cream with gummi bears? That's so 💀💀💀 He does deserve it tho, kinda sad this wasnt mentioned again,, makes call rlly silly

If you could fly, whispered a small, treacherous part of his brain, it wouldn’t matter so much that you can’t run.

- this broke my heart,,

- when i first read this, i got so excited cuz i thought call would be able to fly at some point in the books. That it'll be his main thing, his specialized powers or smth. Imagine my disappointment when he only gets to fly during lessons, and nothing beyond that.

2. Best character aside from the main trio:

Master Milagros. They really captured the essence of a newly graduated, new hire teacher. The awkward introduction, the confidence in their work, and vibe, everything is so cool with her. And probably the nicest and sane and actually-cares-about-students out of all the masters in magisterium so,,,

3. Id rate it a 4.5/10

The prologue and chapter 1 really did a great job on setting the themes of "magic is scary" vibes. The tension built up for the entrance exam was well done.

But what comes after that is a shit show. The entrance exam ended up feeling like a human trafficking scheme. The exams itself feels rigged. The masters, the adults who are responsible for these children, feels like they don't care about them at all. These masters should NOT be teachers omfg (yes. Even Rufus.)

And not even the introduction to the school itself made things better.

So,, yeah,, its hhhhhhhh fun? happy tentitversary

DAY ONE OF TIT BOOK CLUB

<------ if you're confused about this post, i suggest to check this one out)

Ok I’ve decided I’ll stop screaming in my posts.

I trust everyone has done the reading 👀👀👀

Anyway! To spark the discussion, here’s three questions to start with! reblog or reply with the answer

What is the most iconic line in the first five chapters of TIT?

The best character in the first five chapters beside the trio (the one you find the funniest, the most intriguing one)

Rate the first five chapters on a scale from 1-10, either based on how the rest of the book compares or simply in general

Also, apologies, but I will be tagging everyone who interacted with the og post, if you don't wanna participate, just ignore this!

(AU where the tale of sophie & agatha ends with the first book, rafal never stored his soul with evelyn, and sophie & agatha return to the school afterwards)

Not many people attend the funeral.

A few of Professor Sader's former students do, which is surprising. They're all historians and academics and authors, and they burn miniature copies of their books for him, raised dots shining on the paper. Some of them are familiar with the School for Good's vast grounds; some, those who were Never students, are not. But they close ranks like it doesn't matter at all.

Agatha learns, from Professor Dovey, that Professor Sader was a much more involved teacher before them. To Evers and Nevers alike. He'd distanced himself from their year; probably because he knew what was coming next. She sniffles a little as she says it.

Professor Sader's two older brothers are both there; both must be seventy at the least. The oldest, January, burns drawing paper and fine sets of paint, his face desolate. He speaks of Professor Sader like he raised his younger brother, and from what Professor Dovey says he practically did. How it must hurt, for your brother to leave you behind one final time.

His husband Matthew drops a stack of notes into the flames, the familiar dots glittering on the surface. He'll place a hand on Agatha's shoulder, later, and thank her for coming; tell her that Professor Sader was waiting for her, all this while. January will turn away, so Agatha doesn't have to see him cry.

July is the second brother, and he lingers a distance away from the casket. He doesn't burn anything, but he does step closer— just for a second— and whisper something Agatha doesn't want to hear.

Professor Sader has a sister, too. A half-sister. Her name is Evelyn, and Professor Dovey speaks of her with a quiet exhaustion. She taught at the School once. She doesn't return: not to see her brothers, not to say goodbye.

But one of her sons does. Rhian, he says softly when Professor Dovey asks. He looks very much like Professor Sader did; maybe that's why the adults can't bear to look at him, at the Sader who still has his whole life ahead of him. He never knew his uncle. January sent them the invitation anyway. His twin brother Japeth hadn't seen the need to go; but Rhian had always wanted a family.

The Sader brothers are kind to him. But they don't look at him. He goes to stand next to Agatha instead, like some odd pair of cousins. She doesn't object.

Who else? Not even the faculty attend. Most of them made no secret that they thought him insane. There's Professor Dovey, of course, and Lady Lesso by her side, for once silent. They each burn little paper models of houses: Professor Dovey's is a model of his rooms in the School, and Lady Lesso's is a replica of the Library of Virtue.

Then there's Callis. Agatha hadn't even known they knew each other. But she received an invitation from January, along with Agatha's, and their whole twisting story had come out. Their mutual respect, as researchers, as academics. Their friendship. The way Professor Sader had saved Callis' life, given her a way out of the Woods, just as he'd saved Agatha's. Just as he'd saved the School. Callis burns him paper clovers, the smoke reflecting in her gaze, curling up into the distant sky.

And Agatha rounds it off. She hadn't known Professor Sader, not really. But he'd known her. He'd cared.

He might have been something like a father to her, in some other life.

Just not this one.

She burns her copy of The Tale of Sophie and Agatha for him. She'd transcribed it, with Callis' help, into those patterns of raised dots. Professor Sader had never gotten to read it. He'd given his life for it. She thinks he's owed at least this much.

Thank you, she says quietly to him, as the smoke rises. She hopes that he can hear. She'll make sure people remember that it's his story, too.

NEVER!agatha
