It's nearly 9/11, so it's time once again for us to all brush up on how to intervene if we see Islamophobic* harassment happening...

* These techniques also work great for defending people from transphobic, homophobic, racist, or other types of harassment!

Not to worry, you're struggling to put two and two together because there actually hasn't been more than one hint in regards to who is behind the voices, or how the voices come to be in the first place — this hint being the voice y/n heard moments before discovering Chet in the dining hall — and the why has still yet to be revealed. You'll hear an explanation for that very, very soon.

And. What if I were to tell you that there is, in fact, a route which ends in you taking them home with an "I can fix them" mentality?

Nick himself said that his knowledge is confined to the leaks prior to s4, the s4 scripts from his verified source (likely within a source) and basic knowledge most fans paying attention have been able to formulate about s5 based on what has been released officially/unofficially, trends from Netflix and common sense.

He is saying based on all that, he doesn’t think byler is happening. 

And if we think back to what the Duffers themselves shared in the 4x09 script, it literally implies Mike’s monologue worked, and that it was entirely genuine. This tells me that the script the Duffers released for Emmy consideration, is not that far off from what Nick saw for himself. 

I think it’s likely Nick got something that the average below the line worker might manage to get their hands on if they tried hard enough. A copy they know they have to water-down to prevent these very situations from happening.

Unfortunately for the Duffers, it just so happens that they didn’t scrub their watered down copy hard enough.

Unfortunately for Nick, he admitted that it’s possible and even likely that the production will release things that aren’t exactly accurate with the sole purpose to lead fans sleuthing astray, without realizing it may have ironically already happened to him.

Win A Commission! Guess the book, win a drawing!

To be absolutely fair, this is a fanon interpretation of the above characters. On the book cover, they’re white (my version had one blonde and one brunette) sisters. However, it was me and a friend’s favorite book once upon a time, and she always imagined Addie, the main character, to look like her.

So to give you a fighting chance, here are three hints:

1. The book is about sisters

2. One is named Addie

3. One likes physical activity like swordfighting and running, and the other likes fiber arts.

Good luck!

When did Iruka become a teacher?

I was making an Iruka timeline and realized we don’t have a clear answer, but rather multiple conflicting ones. So I tried to compile the informations somewhere! Here are some different indications as to when Iruka may have become a teacher at the Academy.

The first basic fact we have is this: Iruka would very probably not have become a teacher before he became a Chūnin, which happened when he was 16 years old (birthday May 26th).

IN THE ANIME/MOVIES :

The Childhood episodes show Iruka teaching Naruto’s generation while they are at a very young age, possibly 5 to 7 (see the “Naruto” and “Shikamaru” episodes). This would make Iruka 15 to 17.

In the movie The Last, Iruka is already a teacher in the Academy flashback. The children in this scene are all 7, making Iruka 17.

In the Rookie Instructor Iruka filler arc, a flashback shows Iruka asking to become an instructor. Kakashi is present in this scene and is already back in the field and in jōnin uniform, meaning this is after he left ANBU, which happened when he was 22-23 years old. Kakashi and Iruka have a 4 years age difference, making Iruka at least 18-19. This is already conflicting with the previous anime appearances.

IN THE MANGA :

There are even less indications in the manga than there are in the anime. At the very least, Iruka was not Sasuke’s first teacher (Sasuke entered the Academy at age 6), although nothing indicates whether he was already a teacher or not.

To me, the only reliable clue is in the flashback of Naruto and Sasuke’s fight at the Academy, supervised by Iruka (which spans over multiple chapters, beginning with Chapter 538 and ending with Chapter 697). The flashback is set post-Uchiha massacre, making the Naruto’s generation at least 7 and Iruka at least 17. I’d say that Naruto’s generation looks around 9-10? (compared to their Naruto Part I selves)

(There is also the fact that in Chapter 1, Iruka seems to have been around for Naruto’s two previous attempts at passing the Genin test, which would suggest he’s been teaching Naruto for at least 2 years. But since that’s already an entire problem in itself -Naruto would be 2 years older than his comrades, unless the exam happens multiple times a year like the Chūnin exam-, I’m not gonna use it.)

IN THE DATABOOKS :

Now okay, this is where I’m gonna sound a little crazy, but I’ve tried to calculate a likely age for Iruka to have become a teacher based on his number of Databook missions. Having become a Chūnin at 16, Iruka couldn’t have done A-rank and B-rank missions before this moment (or only on accident, I guess). Given that he doesn’t take missions during his teacher years (at least up to the Konoha Crush), Iruka’s 74 B-rank and 12 A-rank missions must have mostly been completed in the timeframe between his becoming a Chūnin and his taking up a teaching job. Shikamaru, who we see becoming a Chūnin, completes 9 B-rank and 19 A-rank missions in around 2 and a half years. If we assume A-rank missions take longer to complete (which isn’t at all a given but I’m desperate for clues), this gives Iruka around 3 to 3 and a half years to complete his own total, making him 19-20 when he becomes a teacher. 

CONCLUSIONS :

My personal preference would be for Iruka to have been 19 when he became a teacher at the Academy. The first two anime indications can be easily discarded: the Childhood episodes are simply cute filler episodes to end the anime, and the Last movie has more than one inconsistency. Iruka being 19 allows for the Rookie Instructor arc to be partly canon, as well as the manga indications: the Naruto vs Sasuke flashback would happen only 2 years or less after the Uchiha massacre, and Iruka would have been Naruto’s teacher for a total of 3/3 and half years (enough to have an initially strained relationship, then a more understanding one, and for Naruto’s memories from the Academy to be mainly associated with Iruka). This gives Iruka around 3 years on active duty as a Chūnin before retiring, and thus enough time for his ‘empathy’ for the enemy to become a worrying trend, if we take the Rookie Instructor arc as canon. 

(Also given that Naruto is 18-19 in The Last when he teaches at the Academy, this seems to be not too weird of an age for someone to start teaching.)

So there you have it! Obviously there is still some weird stuff anime-wise ; Iruka progressively becomes more of a Teacher Archetype throughout Naruto’s story, which explains why he’s often put in anime episodes despite being a literal teenager (yeah Konoha is fucked up about age anyway but even them probably don’t want a 15yo with anger issues to teach their knife-yielding middle schoolers).

Doodle Gets Radicalized by Shitty Bad Chinese Historical Romance Novels:

Episode #503: Marriage, Social Mobility, and Reason Number One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Three on Why the Patriarchy Can Get Fucked

While reading another SBCHRN today, came across a saying that went something along the lines of "a man should marry a woman of a lower rank, but a woman should marry a man of a higher rank". (That said, it's still not really acceptable to marry too far outside your station, e.g. a peasant woman marrying a wealthy official would be seen as, like, a gold digger)

Which is interesting, bc this means that people ARE aware that marriage was the only way for a woman to improve her social standing back in the day. AND that there's a sort of unspoken social contract that since the system is already rigged against women in that way, men kind of have a moral obligation to uplift lower class women if they can.

Which is...nice?

BUT

THAT means the welfare of not-so-well-off women are basically hinging on rich men not being assholes. (I don't think I need to elaborate on why that's. Like. A lot to hope for.)

Which is BAD. The welfare of women relying solely on the goodwill of the men in their lives, in a time when being a woman meant having essentially no financial independence, little to no education, and very few rights, is like, really really bad. "Men should uplift women through marriage :)" is AT MOST a nice gesture, a nice thought to have, a safety net, but it CANNOT BE a replacement for a broken system that is inherently rigged against and actively punishes women for being women.

Oh whoops! It's 2 am! My consciousness is fading! Tune in next week for episode #620: Neither Your Evil Mother In Law NOR That Bitch Who Keeps Trying to Steal Your Man Is The Antagonist, Actually, The PATRIARCHY IS 🔥🔥🔥

I got distracted when I was doing the sketches of dear old sad monkie man and that I randomly made a supposed monkie man of my own!

Just a random thought this is a real boring and average kind of bizzyboy that sits around (tbh they all do that already ) and enjoys doing things like word searches n' stuff, boring bizzyboy doesn't really do anything that bothers/inconveniences anyone and all around a mellow fella!
