Do You Ever Wonder About The Function Of Academic Subjects In SGE? Like: How Does Studying Literature

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

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!

two of my irl friends thinks tedros is so bad- and its so hard to defend him TCY made him worse-

tedros is a misogynist pig and this fandom is tone death to how tagatha normalizes abusive relationships

i remember putting this on the back burner because i REALLY didn't want to piss people off but never mind op speak your truth.

in my own personal opinion, i wouldn't say they're ab//sive but there is toxicity in their relationship between books 4-6 that just got brushed over or handled completely incorrectly. i liked their relationship in the third book bc they actually learned how to properly communicate but forgot in book 4 and onwards. as much as i love tedros, he did not not unlearn his misogyny at all, it just shows up at the most random moments. like at one point he's like omg agatha my feminist queen my equal my not like other girls alt girlfriend! i'm so glad she doesn't suck up to me and tell me lies to make me feel good <3 and then came book six where he complained about the exact things he liked her for??? nah i'm just going to say this is soman's inconsistent writing and lack of thought in writing their relationship problems. like why completely subvert something established to make them argue when you could use their miscommunication problems to make them argue and then solve it?

i also didn't like how they just pretended the six month ignoring thing didn't happen because wtf that was just horrible to read and besides other characters joking about it, neither tedros nor agatha brought it up besides that mere apology in the celestium. and even after that they didn't properly communicate. like i really wanted to see them resolve their miscommunication problems and tendency to shut each other out and handle their problems on their own. but no, we brought back the sexism thing and made tedros a complete misogynist to develop his relationship like ?? what was the reason ??

i think there's more i could say but i haven't read/reread the books in a solid year so it's not fresh in my mind but yeah here's my take on it. i love them lots but these were pressing things i noticed in regards to op's post.

can you do bakugo deku and ochaco at a carnival pls 💗🧡💚

ok 👍

I love themmm ( pt. 1 | pt. 2)

Bunch of sketches cuz ive been drawing angst a lot and these kids should be having fun instead

No Magic?/Collegium? AU idk its mostly for the casual vibes of it all

Call would def be the listener to the yapping of Aaron and Tamara.

Also long haired Call, the authors basically wrote him as an edgy skater boy, might as well give him the guitar n long hair

---

ATLA! AU

Tamara is a fire nation noble, Aaron came from the water tribes, and Call is an air nomad who survived the genocide (cold massacre oof) and now lives in the countryside of earth kingdom.

Who's the Avatar? Both Call and Aaron. Call was supposed to be the next air nomad avatar after fire nation avatar verity torres. But he died which made the cycle continue to Aaron, but Call didn't really die so now both of them became the avatar.

They would probably have 2 elements each, Call with Air and Fire, while Aaron would have Earth and Water. Wow, even in atla!au theyr each others counterweight, soulmates fr.

school for good this, school for evil that. where's my school for the morally grey?

Camelot funds is a mess and i hate it

i'm so dumb confused, please someone help me, idk anything about economics.

The whole finance thing of camelot is making me so angry, ITS SO CONFUSING. Why did it took 6 months for them to figure out whats the problem- shouldn't they had a discussion with the bank about the finances since the arrival or after the coronation? There should be a meeting with Tedros, Treasury Master, and a bank representative.

WAIT- APPARENTLY THE TREASURY MASTER IS ALL LIKE "he's not officially a king, so no." WTF? WHY IS HE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THAT?? KIng or not, Tedros is still royalty, and waaay above you in title and have authority over you. You don't get to say no because its your jOB?? to discuss finances?? omfg.

"They taxed the poor and the middle class at double the rates Arthur did and cut the taxes of the wealthiest landowners." wtf wtf wtf wtf- wait is this because of the mistral sisters? how the hell did they managed that-

And- why does the mistrals sisters able to hide the money? and how they managed to get away with it? why didn't the bank got suspicious over it? I mean- they have the ability to do something about it.

In OTK - Vault 41. Albemarle said "Camelot Beautiful is a fraudulent account. You and your sisters have been stealing Camelot funds and stashing them here for years. And now, voila, the funds flow back to Camelot, just in time for the new king to spend it."

Its possible! All Tedros had to do was talk to albemarle- its not like he's gonna refuse. (What was tedros been doing in camelot all those time??? like seriously man-)

Lady gremlaine has albemarle's business card so that means they can get an audience with him- why didn't she told tedros? why didn't she do or say anything about it? and she helped raise funds for CB, and knows something is sus, why didn't sHE DO ANYTHING- 6 MONTHS. SIX MONTHS??????????

.

In conclusion, Lady gremlaine shouldn't have separated tagatha. The combined force of their braincells couldve fixed camelot.

Haha… yeah… that’d be crazy…

Dont mess with agatha

Just a quick sketch, the gargoyle scene in book one, but modern au
