Interns & Teachers hcs best to worst
Morris obvs we know doesn't wanna trade his mentorship with Milla so they must get along well, or at least he thinks so! I think he really respects and admires her, and wants to impress her. Milla on her part is textually a very good teacher and caregiver so she probably has given Morris a lot to work with to grow and improve. Maybe Morris was even more of a rascal and trouble maker before we met him and Milla taught him to at least put that energy toward something productive. Like Pirate Radio!
I don't USUALLY like going to extra material for things I think are true but the art book says Adam is senior to the other interns which I think implies he actually has spent plenty of time with Truman, rather than the impression the game gives of "none at all hes in a coma, lol".
That being said I imagine their mentorship is on a very professional feeling level. they get along and maybe Truman even tries to be friendly and casual with the boy, but Adam is super focused on being a good student and working on his big historical project. After the mole incicent though maybe he loosens up! He nearly lost the chance to talk to his mentor ever again after all.
Gisu and Otto are super duper casual in contrast to Adam and Truman. Gisu skateboards into his lab, yells WHATS UP TEACH! Otto says something abt his latest project before throwing a wrench at Gisu who catches it mid sick skate flip because Otto just expects her to help with said project in exchange to credits + not having to do homework for a week. They barely talk outside of this bc the agreement is not spoken and just based on vibes and knowing winks.
After the games I think Lizzie swings back to Compton's and he gives her a stern look and a raised eyebrow like you didn't do my assignment? and Lizzies like dude I tried man. and she thinks shes gonna get a lecture but instead Compton's like I'm sorry about that, let's start over, and then they play chess and he wins 3 times in a row. He learns Lizzie likes "weird" and "ugly" animals like bugs and rats and he makes some new assignment about just observing them in the wild, maybe try to talk to them if she can! and reporting back to him. Lizzie still thinks thisis a bit lame but at least she doesnt have to set up a Goat Trap so its an improvement
Sam learns what Coach did at camp and she doesn't do anything actively malicious but she does give him horrible stink eye for like a week. afterwards they go back to getting along surprisingly well aside from all the times Sam says some shit that sounds oddly like a threat but it goes over Oleander's head like half the time.
If Adam and Truman are a good professional vibe, Norma and Hollis are a bit of a stinky professional vibe. Hollis obviously thinks shes a capable young girl, she did let her teach class while she was off meditating about bills. But Norma wants so much more than that and tries so so so hard to impress her even though she ALSO thinks her homework assignment is boring and childish. She goes to Hollis' office like I want a different assignment, with the unspoken want "do not treat her like a child". and Hollis is like oh ok do you want to learn some advanced techniques that come from reading this big dry book of theory as big as your head. and Norma is like well, no. and Hollis is like ok then do your assignment very neutrally and Norma leaves thinking SHE HATES ME!!! bc I think Norma probably has. bad responses to rejection.
Hopefully Norma improves over time though bc I think! I think Hollis could possibly see a lot of potential in her!! She might even see a girl who's impatient, prone to rash decisions, and wants to prove herself so badly, and see herself in her. which is something that's only just occured to me but i enjoy the idea a lot so thats where I'll end this.

explaining my blorbo associations pt2: jules who i do not draw often im so sorry u look like that babygirl
song: i actually... have never made a jules playlist LMAO my jules brainrot is so academic i could spit theories for him but not songs. so i had to dive into my spotify likes and find something. goldilocks spot is actually from a very old jolyne playlist i made but i think it also fits jules. to me it's a song about being painfully aware of how... average? not-outstanding? just there? you are and the angst that comes with it, the bitterness towards other people (in jules' case, for not seeing him as who he knows himself to be—a noble). but there's also a stubborness and pride that keeps you from fully confronting those feelings/that dilemma and finding peace within it, which is fitting for the persistent turbulence within jules... a lot of this is my (quite liberal?) interpretation tho so yeah
color & object: purple is the color of royalty and lavender is pretty and calming and healing. quite the nice set of descriptions for someone like jules :)
animal: i dont kin assign animals often so this was hard. but i chose raven as a parallel to doves... because jules' dove of happiness was/is rosemarine, and because jules is almost like rose's shadow in many ways... also ravens are kinda bad omens i feel like for all the gentleness jules shows he is also obviously capable and willing to do terrible things, he's selfish and prideful and even a little greedy... and lol i think the negativity also fits some of his self-image
drink: tea! of course! what else would i put
aesthetic: i think classic dark academia with all its elite-ness and occult-ness and general fucked up-ness would be a very average jules genre. smack him in a dark academia plot a la secret history and he's right at home lol. even his fallen noble status makes for an interesting pov in a dark academia story. the genre's potential for class analysis and commentary too is jules de ferrier
other: i think it was a fic which was about jules and perfume which made me think about this association... lavender was the scent too so that is another explanation to the above lol. as for the shadows again it's cos of his duo thing with rosemarine but also everything he does is kind of... in the shadows... he has engaged in shady shit (gang moment???) and is often lurking/observing situations (as the right hand man yk) and also just him looking out for the people he cares about even if in incredibly convoluted ways (see: rosemarine and jules' deal with the thugs who wanted to beat him up when they first arrived at lacombrade). he does the dirty work in the dark or smth like that. tbh there are a lot of oppositions with rosejules, the light/shadow thing is pretty on the nose i think but my favorite is probably the feminine/masculine. (disclaimer thisis an idea spitball Only so pls do not sue me for incorrect use of terminology; im sorry feminist theory i promise ill read more of you BUT a lot of the ideas kind of branch out of 2nd wave ideas/concepts i believe)
because publicly rose seems to take the patriarchal role as the superintendent (ie. being the disciplinarian, having power, being the symbol of the institution) while jules assumes a more matriarchal role as advisor, someone more approachable and "kinder" than the patriarch... then it all gets skewed because of auguste's presence, so they actually switch with rose being "feminized" and jules being "masculinized" but anyway LOL i have many thoughts on this specific kind of. feminist/queer inspired reading of rosejules
i hate his ass so much cos it's so fucking hard to break his character down in a comprehensible way. the thesis topic thing is only partly a joke. i genuinely think with the depths i am going to look at this i can find something in him or maybe im just delusional lmao i probably am

The cause of Omens
Never know how to word this all bc it's weird and unexplainable and you gotta get into a pliny type mindset to get a feel for soulsring lore but. I see this theory shared a lot, but I dont think Omens were blessed by the crucible. Or otherwise affiliated with it.
First up.. the game never says so. Obviously that doesnt mean much with fromsoft but it's so explicit with the misbegotten. You're told that that's why they're like that. Why are the omens not referred to as such as well? Only evidence for omens being crucible touched or whatever is the animal features thing, and that one crucible talisman being located in the shunning grounds. Additionally, why are omen and misbegotten even different if its the crucible affecting them both? Why do omens get covered in horns and occasionally some animalistic traits, while the misbegotten are just a mishmash of animal parts with minimal horns?
I have a different take on why Omens are like that. I think it’s “The Fell Curse”. I don’t know what it is exactly. But dung-eater is all about it, and I believe it had something to do with Death, and souls returning to the Erdtree.
Tumblr media
So after dung-eater’s quest, you get the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. Why I believe the Fell Curse is the same thing as the omen curse is because 1. The seedbed curses you give dung-eater grow omen horns on them. Just as the omens, who are cursed people, grow horns. There has to be some connection there. And 2. Margit the Fell Omen. The word Fell isn’t used in many other contexts, and of course, Margit is an omen himself. Though there is also the Fell God, who has something to do with fire iirc? Don’t know if it’s connected.
As for the curse’s connection with death, that gets more complicated. The Seedbed Curse’s description says that the curse “prevents dead souls returning to the Erdtree, leaving them forever cursed.“ Typically, all who die return to the erdtree.
And then, there is Godwyn, who did not die a proper death. I think he is in a similar situation. Just as omen horns grow all over on curses and cursed people, his likeness spreads across the Erdtree’s roots. And furthermore, I noticed something else when watching videos of all endings.
This is the sky in the Blessing of Despair Ending
And this is the sky in the Deathbed Dream, where Lichdragon Fortissax is fought
Tumblr media
THEYRE THE SAME. Albeit the deathbed dream has more red lighting, though I assume that’s just for appearance. That has to mean something right? The pattern of holes in the skies remind me of the growth of horns all over Omens, and the stubs on dung-eater’s omen armor. And then there is Godwyn, who, like the Omen, gained all those animal features. But he’s got nothing to do with the Crucible. He became that way after he died. I think that can happen to beings whose souls will not/did not return to the Erdtree.
I think this is even why omens are called that. They could be seen as living omens of a potential age of the curse.
Basically, Omens are afflicted with the fell curse. I don’t think they’re blessed in any capacity. They are plagued with nightmares where they get haunted, they wind up with so much painful looking horn growth, theyre cursed and remain cursed even when they die. And for this they should get some goddamn compassion. not thrown in the sewers and hated and forgotten.

Not a promt that was sitting in your inbox when it was wiped but thought to send it in case you were low on them or when you open to requests or not do which is okay! I was wondering what the Pedro boys would think/do with a S/O who still sleeps with a childhood teddy bear? I was a child who had a problem sleeping alone in her bedroom and had terrible nightmares. My grandmother gave me this little bear for my birthday that really helped me up to adult hood. I can sleep without him but it's still nice to cuddle up at night 😊
Finding Out You Sleep With a Teddy Bear:
Javier: He raises an eyebrow at it when he sees the teddy bear sitting in a place of pride between your pillows. He’s not going to say to much about it unless you bring it up. His theory is whatever works to help you sleep. The more serious you get, the more that he slowly makes sure that the bear sleeps on the nightstand while you hold onto him. Although if he works late and you are asleep holding the bear when he gets hold, he’s smirking to himself while he wraps his arms around you and the bear.
Ezra: You are truly lucky to have managed to keep a bit of your childhood with you in this life. That is something that is remarkable. Whatever makes you feel secure. Anytime you prefer to hang onto him rather than the bear, Ezra makes sure that he is given a place of honor to stay safe while he watches over both of you. 
Mando: Doesn’t say a word about it. But when the Crest is flooded, somehow the bear that he never acknowledged was washed and mended and set on the cot for you find later on that night. But he doesn’t have a clue how that happened. 
Catfish: He thinks its pretty cute. You never use it often anymore. But when he’s late coming to bed, he smiles at the way that you hold the bear, even as you are reaching for his side of the bed. If it makes you feel better, he’s all for it. Lord knows he sleeps better when he’s holding you, so he gets it.
Tovar: Doesn’t understand it, but doesn’t comment on it. But then, he’s never had the luxury of keeping anything from his unpleasant childhood. Will cut anyone else who says a word about it though. In a heartbeat.
Whiskey: Loves it. He will bring you back a stuffed animal when he comes back into town from a trip. He claims that it’s so your teddy bear doesn’t get lonely when he steals you away to hold onto your full sized teddy bear. Him.
Max Phillips: Smirks at it every time he sees it. Teases you about it a bit, but wouldn’t actually dream of telling you to put it away. Just likes to play with you. He would never admit that when you are gone, he takes care of the teddy for you. Washing it and he repaired a tear that you weren’t even aware was there. 
Marcus: Thinks it sweet. May have bought you a doll bed to put the teddy in for the nights that you don’t hold him. When he makes the bed, teddy always gets put on it amongst the throw pillows. Also tracked down the manufacturer for when/if you have children together, he can give you a new one for the baby. 
Oberyn: Your little bear is precious. It reminds him of the dolls he had made for the snakes when they were little. They still have them. So he understands. Your bear is a welcome addition to his bed.

Godzilla vs Kong 2021 Film Online Revision
For all these years I thought Godzilla was my bro but then I watch this new trailer andhe's smashing cities up You're embarrassing me, 
Tumblr media
I told them we werefriends. The new GVK Teaser is completely breakingthe internet right now and Titan Level Trailer has one big question hanging over it. Whyis Godzilla destroying the cities and is he really the one doing it?Will the real godzilla please stand up? Well throughout this video we're gonna bebreaking it all down and going over our thoughts and theories on what's really going on.There will be heavy spoilers here as we'll be discussing some of the leaks but nothingbeyond what you could learn from the trailer if you were looking closely enough. If thisis your first time here then welcome to the  show, I'm your host Paul the Mega G when it comes to breakdowns, now let's discuss what's really going on.Ok so the premise of Godzilla Vs Kong online makes it seem like the Towering Titan has had enoughof Fish and Ships and he's decided to move his attention to land.
Monarch are stumped, fan boys are outraged and absolutely no one knows why the jollygreen giant had decided to turn on the people that love and adore him.It's seoul crushing, and I don't mean that he stepped on the capital of South Korea...eventhough it looks like he may have. 
Tumblr media
Clearly something else is going on and fromthe trailers it looks like humanity has decided to take Kong in order to stand a chance againstthe atomic breath breathing bohemoth. But what if it's all one big misunderstandingand the king of the monsters is actually being framed for what we see him doing?Well if you go over the trailer with a fine tooth comb you'll notice that there are twodistinct moments that confirm that Mechagodzilla is indeed in the movie. After the initialattack that opens things up you can clearly see his classic metallic shape moving overthe the citizens that we see hurtling down the stairs faster than I clicked the trailervideo when I got the notification from Warner Bros.In another part of the first look we can see the character Ren Serizawa standing infrontof a control panel with a dinstinct metallic titan shape with the systems reading at Maximumcharge. 
Ren is actually the son of Ishiro played byKen Watanabe in the prior movies and it's clear that he's inherited his father's understandingof the Titans and has managed to craft his own.The place that we see him is clearly a Mechagodzilla control room and this signifies to me thathe is definitely being used by the humans. Now if you've been keeping up to date withthe plot synposiseseses that have been released for the film you'll know that recently therewas one released that said the terrorist group Apex were looking to find a way to wipe allthe Titans out in one fell swoop. Apex themselves are rumored to have builtthe beast through Ren who has used the brain of the severed ghidorah head from King Of The Monsters and the gigantic titan skeleton from the 2014 Godzilla film.Though he appears in a very small way in the trailer he's clearly gonna be laced throughoutthe film and this is even shown in the logos which have a distinct blue electricity flowingthrowing them. Now because of his dad it's difficult to tellwhether 
Ren is gonna be good or a bad guy but if Tobey Maguire has told me one thingit's that people with that haircut are rotten to the core. However I do think that he mayhave been tricked by Apex who would've been like "I knew your dad...in away...after Itried to kill him several times." Now though we know little about Apex, apparentlythey are trying to lure Kong and Godzilla out into the open so that they can have thepair fight against one another and then when the winner is weakened they simply send Mechagodzillain to finish them off. Not finish them off like that you dirty badboy. This technique is something that we saw Spectredemonstrate with the Siamese Fighting Fish in From Russia With Love and it's commonlya tactic used in most VS movies where the two opposing sides team up to take out thegreater evil. So it definitely is a possibility that Mechagodzillacould be the one carrying out the attacks on the cities in order to make the real onelook bad. I've even saw theories on my trailer breakdown that said that Mecha could be wearinga gigantic kevlar suit that just makes him look like Godzilla.It's like when you were a kid and you used to stand on your mates shoulders and weara trench coat to sneak into the cinema. 
Tumblr media
However, I'm gonna say something controversial...somethingthat you might wanna sit down for if you're #TeamGodzilla.Ok so I don't actually think that Mechagodzilla is the one who's doing most of the city smashingand I think it is indeed Godzilla. In one scene in the trailer we can see him blastingout his atomic breath and this then sweeps across and causes many casualties in the explosionsthat arise from it. Now it may be a Kevlar suit but I think thatthe trailer in several ways is hinting to us that both Titan's are under some form ofcontrol or another. With Kong we see a young girl who holds upan idol that seems to calm down the gigantic ape and throughout the teaser there's lipservice paid to the fact that the pair have a special bond. 
Whether he recognises similaritiesin her to the other people that he's eaten in the past we don't know but we very muchhave this idea that he can be manipulated in some form or another even if it's willingly.Similar to this I believe that Kong will be under the control of Apex who, rather thanplaying their hand have found a way to manipulate Godzilla into going wild in the middle ofa city. King Of The Monsters clearly demonstratedthat the Orca device was a way to bring the Titans under control and I believe that thisdevice has been perfected and placed in Mechagodzilla as a way to have the metallic monster manipulateGodzilla into destroying the humans. Now I am more than willing to accept thatit could be a possibility that Mechagodzilla is just dressed up as the Titan but I feellike that cheapens that battle in many ways if it turns out to be true.What we really wanna see is both Kong and Godzilla fight and to have a reveal that hewasn't even fighting him this entire time I think would make the movie just feel slightlyshallow. 
As much as I love Godzilla I'd love if wehad a moment like in Batman V Superman where he says you were never a god...zilla and justsmacks him in the face similar to what we see in the trailer.Now the reason that I think that Mechagodzilla is able to manipulate the other titans includingthe big dog himself is because in the trailer we see two Nuzuki titans attacking Kong.According to the leaks these are natives of Skull Island however they also state thatthis place is now more of a sanctuary to the titans in which they have all fallen underthe rule of Kong rather than constantly being at war with one another.Thus them attacking him does signify to me that they may also have been sent crazy bythe twisted ways of Apex. 
Tumblr media
Though this may not be the case it's evenpossible that the explosion which we see at the start of the trailer is actually the energyoverride of Mechagodzilla which will draw Godzilla to the area and then have him goape shit when the Orca is activated. I feel like those are probably the most likelypossibilities and though it pains me to say it I do think that the Godzilla we see inthe trailer is the real one. It just makes the most sense to me that he'sthe one causing all this death and destruction and if the rumoured monsterverse is goingto spring from this film I think the best place to start is with the humans not reallyknowing whether they can trust him or not. 
Obviously I'd love to hear your thoughts thoughand whether you agree with me or not in the comments below. Take care, Peace

On a sunny Saturday Morning with a group of ethnomusicologists to be, this is because we are still students with a passion for ethnomusicology. We went to visit a town called Keiskamma Hoek in a small village that is known as St.Matthews. We went to a Xhosa community and more specifically to a man who calls himself a prophet and a traditional healer which is known as the leader of the community. As soon as we approached the community, we were accompanied by a group of old Xhosa women singing traditional Xhosa songs. Their music hits home. Thisi is because I also come from the Xhosa culture as well. And when they were singing, the songs reminded me of the moment I had to experience when I had to go through the Xhosa rites of passage i.e circumcision. Most of the songs that they were singing are songs that mostly women sing for young men when they are coming from the initiation school also known as eSuthwini. However, one of the songs that they sang is also generally sang by men most of the time. It is called Somagwaza, it basically means ‘I will stab you with a spear’. It is about the origins of circumcision in the Xhosa culture and how it became part of the Xhosa pantheon. There is a myth or parable in the Xhosa culture of how circumcision came about. It says that there was a boy which later was named Somagwaza, because of the fact that he introduced circumcision to his culture. They say the boy was walking through a forest one day with his dog and he went deep inside the forest. When he arrived in the deep forest, he took out a knife, which would be a spear according to the context of the song and he cut his foreskin off. However, it got so intense that he could not walk back home. So his dog tried helping him by pulling him out but it could not until the dog left him and ran back to the village. When the dog arrived in the village, it barked so hard at the elders and moved a few step back. It kept on doing that until the village elders realised that it was showing or telling them something. So they followed the dog until they arrived to the helpless boy lying on the floor. When they checked what was wrong with the boy, they realised that there was a difference in the boy’s genital parts, a difference they never saw before that distinguished him from all the other men in the village. Therefore, he was called Somagwaza/Stabber of the spear because he introduced the rites of passage for young men in the Xhosa culture to manhood. And he also did it on himself with his own bare hands. However nowadays, young men go through the rite of passage initiation through the hands of others because it is considered that no one can circumcise themselves but the originator of circumcision Somagwaza. In addition, there was another song that was sang that I deeply resonated with. It is called ‘ngelinyi langa uzomdinga uMama’ meaning ‘you will need your mother someday’. And most of the other songs I was familiar with as well, this is because some of them were sang by Rhodes University students during the fees must fall protests. As we were accompanied by these beautiful and emotional songs, we got the opportunity to meet community leader, traditional healer and prophet of the community of St.Matthews, Siyabonga Ngonzi. He is a very tall and kind men that comes from the Xhosa clan called ‘Ngconde’, which is the name everyone in the village called him by. As soon as we enter we greeted him and everyone introduced themselves one by one. And after that, he made the statement; “In the Xhosa culture we have to first eat and drink before we do anything, however, before we even do that we first need to pray”. And eating meaning eating a lot of food because I even lost count how many times I have eaten during my stay there. We went inside the hut which looked like a gathering place for traditional rituals to be performed but also looked like a gathering place for the church services. There we had a Christian prayer called ‘eFefe’ which basically means ‘grace’. From that point I realised that the community contested the notion that African traditional religion and Christianity could not go well. They actually merged them together in their theory and practice into one. Even through the interview, the community leader Siyabonga explained how it goes together. He calls himself a traditional healer and a prophet, which is tradition and religion merged together. He became a traditional healer not by choice but because he was chosen by the ancestors to lead and heal the community of St.Matthews. And in the Xhosa culture there is a belief that ancestors are the intermediates and messengers of God. And through his calling he received or was already embodying a gift of getting messages from the ancestors in the form of sound and sight. The message can be an individual message to a specific person or can be about a family or the community as a whole. He just had to accept his calling. In his own words he said; “accepting a calling is not a choice, if you do not accept your calling, your life becomes miserable because you are denying or delaying the work of the ancestors and God. So this is the reason why he accepted his calling, because he had no choice. Therefore, through the ancestors calling, he received the gift of healing traditionally and also prophesying in the Christian sense, and also he mentioned that before the calling he loved church so much. So that is how the elements of tradition and the Christian religion go together or are one. After we finished eating, we told that we were going to a nearby community that has a traditional celebration happening, which is called ‘umgidi’ in the culture, it is the return of Xhosa initiates from the bush. It is basically a celebration of the success of having to go through the Xhosa rites of passage. This is because not everyone returns home, there are few that die in the bush due intense pain or not being strong enough to persevere over it, sometimes the case might that the person who did the initiation might have not been that experienced. So according to the culture, it is a matter of persevering, being strong and finding the right person that is experienced with the Xhosa rites of passage. That person is called ‘ingcibi’ and it has always been a man. Nonetheless, we arrived in this community which is about 3 km from the prophet’s community. Since communities there are situated in mountains, I remember going up the steep slope and I could hear the singing voices from afar. As we arrived we were welcomed and greeted with many beautiful songs sung by these beautiful people wearing colourful Xhosa traditional clothing. As we went inside the yard taking pictures, recording the songs and singing along with the people, similar songs the previous women sang at the prophet’s household. We had to go through the same rules we went by when we arrived at the prophet’s premises, we had to eat and drink. However, during this time there was no time to pray because everyone was in a joyful spirit of singing and that was a celebration. The amount of meat I ate and the stiff shot of viceroy brandy I got from one of the elders conducting the initiate, put me in a mode of wanting to participate more on the celebration. However, we had to leave after that because we had to reach the other side of town where we had our accommodation place situated. Nonetheless, the songs from the prophet’s community were the same as the songs that were sung at the imgidi celebration, Rhythmic, melodic, harmonious, cyclical, interlocking and was always accompanied by a call and response. From the celebration, we went back to the prophet’s house. And when we arrived there, to our surprise we were welcomed by a group of Xhosa Diviners which arrived when we left. All of them were woman. Subsequently, we had to eat again, and of course we also had to pray before that as well. However, they prayed in the form of calling their ancestors names and clan genealogy accompanied by ‘Camagu’ which is a form Amen in the Xhosa tradition ancestral pantheon. Nonetheless, to my shock, I was surprised to see the Xhosa diviners making a Christian prayer as well. This is where my research interest was in the field. How they mixed traditional and Christian elements in their way of doing things. They put us into trance with their enchanting voices and rhythmic dance moves by stomping the dry floor polished with cow dung. And the songs that they sang were a bit different in content and context than the ones the elderly women were singing. This is because most of their songs were not coming from the creative people of the community but were revealed by the ancestors through the prophet/traditional healer in the form of visions and sounds in dreams and in waking life. These songs are sung for specific requests or when the prophet is doing a healing ritual or prophesying. In the evening of that day I was feeling healed and energised as well, even though I could not wait to get to the place we stayed in because I was tired. Nonetheless, even though I myself come from the culture, it was an amazing experience with new things to learn. It made me realise we can belong in the same culture but the way we do things and our understanding of them can be different, which means we have the same tradition but different customs.
