wait what if in scammers to lovers izuku still stopped gentle criminal and la brava from attacking ua but like… by talking to them or something
Just completely changed their worldview or something they’re like “wow this conversation has changed the way I look at the world and I think I’m a better person because of it. I’m going to follow my true passions now, thank you”
“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!]
"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.
i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
