Insane seeing Zam self reassuring herself that she did well, she expressed what she was there to say, etc vs Ace sitting in the White Room, quiet for the most part, telling himself he "doesn't know how to navigate this" and that "there's a million thoughts in my head, but I'm just going to sit here" like OUGH

something that hindutva types (and north indian supremacists generally, which are overlapping but not quite the same categories) get really angry about is whenever you mention that the people of the indus valley civilization were very probably actually dravidian-speaking "south indians" rather than indo-aryan-speaking "north indians" because indo-aryan speakers didn't exist/half of our ancestors hadn't migrated from the central asian steppe yet. bc indo-aryan speakers are descended from native dravidian-speakers and these central asian steppe peoples and they don't arrive to the region until the time of the vedas which happens much later. north indian supremacists refuse to believe that dravidians could have built the oldest civilization in the region bc it entirely contradicts the hindutva line about north indian hindus being the indigenous people of south asia. anytime this is mentioned hindutvas go fucking crazy like frothing rage it's wild. when u see stuff about hindutvas changing the history books to be more in line with hindutva ideology this is part of that

"descent to evil" is such a mean phrase. still grown as a person, more determined for a cause than ever, still gotten stronger... that's an ascent.

"Because Richard (III) usurped the throne, his retinue is inevitably seen as inimical to the crown and therefore in an important sense independent of royal authority. In the context of Edward IV's reign, in which the retinue was created, neither assumption is true. The development of the retinue would have been impossible without royal backing and reflected, rather than negated, the king's authority. Within the north itself, Gloucester's connection subsumed that of the crown. Elsewhere, in East Anglia and in Wales, that focus for royal servants was provided by others, but Gloucester was still part of that royal connection, not remote from it. In the rest of England, as constable and admiral, he had contributed to the enforcement of royal authority. When he seized power in 1483 he did not do it from outside the prevailing political structure but from its heart."

-Rosemary Horrox, "Richard III: A Study of Service"

People like to make fun of YA worldbuilding tropes that sort teenagers into arbitrary categories based on arbitrary characteristics that nonetheless have a huge impact on the teenager's future.

This is not unrealistic however, because the german education system sorts 4th graders based on their "academic merit" as determinded by one of their elementary school teachers into one of three (sometimes four) further type of schools, which has a drastic impact on the likelihood of you even getting the qualification to attend university.

Yes, your entire academic career path is dependent on whether your elementary school teacher likes you or not. Don't worry, some states think that's bullshit too and instead make fourth graders sit entrance exams for the education level of their (parents') choice. (Although the teachers still get a say). That's why sometimes have news articles about the burn out rates of elementary schoolchildren in Bavaria.

But don't worry! Politicians love to complain about... to many people in recent years receiving the qualification to attend university...
