The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

[ physical book, read in finnish & english ]

the story of a man who starts off as stale as if the colour beige was a human. he's a diligent office worker in a government department that evaluates orphanages for magical children. he's so good at making bland, objective reports that the stuck-up management of the department decides to send him to an orphanage for particularly troublesome monster children, hidden away on a remote island in the middle of nowhere. the man takes a train there, fearing for his life because he's pre-emptively so scared of these children. on the island, he befriends the children and learns that he's been living a stupid, prejudiced, boring life with no colour in it whatsoever all this time. also he falls for the leader of the orphanage and they have a gay little romance.

➕ obvious first things first. this is a gay love story, i'm all for it. a really soft and sort of mundane one about two middle-aged men too, where them being gay isn't a big deal, actually it's probably the smallest deal of them all. lol the romance was incredibly cheesy but you never see THAT in literature

➕ it's a hearty story about prejudice and acceptance. magical beings in this world are so viscerally hated that nobody cares about your sexual orientation or skin colour, but if you're a dragon or some shit then YUCK! EW! STAY AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN YOU HEATHEN! it's kind of amazing. this is also completely void of any mention of religion which i enjoyed. all the bigoted hate and prejudice in the entire universe is truly just packed into there existing magical people in this book. i personally felt it first and foremost symbolised the lack of empathy for people with disabilities (both physical and mental) because there are so many nudges towards that, but it's probably just in general also. angry goodreads reviews are saying it's a very poorly executed nudge towards native americans actually but i'll run with my own interpretation anyway

➕ hands down my favourite thing in the entire book is lucy. he's the reason i originally kept reading at all because i was so enamored by a little 6yo satan. i could have read a whole book just about him really.

➖ well this is a tough one to review. basically what happened was that i took the finnish translation from the library. and i kind of fucking hated it. it's a very literal-feeling translation, a lot of the dialogue is so stiff you barely understand what the characters are sometimes talking about, the language felt very infantile. i don't think the magical creature translations really work. they turned talia into a goblin instead of a gnome, that's a whole fucking different creature? there are just many many things i don't like about it. then i suddenly had to return the book to the library so i put a reservation on the original english one, thinking if i'm gonna finish this, it has to be in english. so i got that one and had no issues with the language or anything else whatsoever. i should definitely have read in english from the beginning. i didn't return it to the library yet so i might go back to the beginning and revisit some of the scenes in english to actually understand what happened

➖ this is like.. well it's not a very small children's book, and not exactly for teenagers either because the contents are so softcore, i feel. it's either for rather childish adults or for pre-teen children, maybe. edit: actually i don't see anyone call this a children's book online, just "YA" which it fucking isn't. much confusion. are you telling me this nonsense is a book for adults. either way, although the message is very good and all, the whole book is hopelessly childish in a way that made me feel like it didn't need to be. it's just a bit too simplistic at times, like helen's character, she does a 360 in a matter of a couple of lines with very little basis. idk how to well put it, maybe that it felt like there's ingredients for more here and that the characters are built in such a way that they could have been so much more if only the book took itself more seriously and went deeper at all instead of staying so surface level and turning everything into a joke. the entire plotline was also very predictable, basically you can tell what happens as soon as linus it sent to the island and that doesn't make a very exciting book to get through.

➖ i hated linus so fucking much in the early chapters lmao i get it that it's all about his growth but man. the premise of his character is that he's excellent at his job, very good at being objective, does his background work super well. then he goes to this island job and is immediately mad prejudiced (although working with magical kids is literally his job, this job he's supposedly so good at, but now he suddenly can't take them anymore), proceeds to not even read the files of the children. he goes to this orphanage that HE KNOWS from THE INFORMATION HE GOT has been as it is for some time, and the first thing he does is hate all the children on sight and decides that lucy will kill everyone in the house any minute now and he's the only force stopping him. although he knows perfectly well from the beginning that lucy has been living with the other kids all this time already without anyone dying. the only difference is that he's there now so why would lucy suddenly blow the place up (other than to kill linus because he's so insufferable, which would have been 100% fair). it was so nonsensical, it felt like the story was just made up on the go without any thought put into if it makes any sense how linus is reacting to things. actually i just hate reactionary characters in general like stop being a fuckign buffoon imbecile and use that brain of yours that's so big. he's literally even complaining about his fucking cat all the time, jesus christ let her be a cat. is it supposed to be funny? then mark down the humour as another minus because it's not

➖ i seem to be the only person on earth who thinks this (edit: goodreads says i am not, in fact) but i wasn't that big a fan of how hard this kept hammering in the EVERYONE!!SHOULD!!BE!!ACCEPTED!!! message, i prefer subtler ways of storytelling tbh not every single scene needs to be about this.

➖ the world building could have had a bit more substance. not much was said about the system of magic existing in this universe so it was all a bit vague.

⭐ score: 4- -- a lot of negative thoughts again but overall i rather liked this, despite my ranting (and being shocked that this isn't for children). i guess something about this touched me deeper than i realised because i was AGAIN crying at the end. what's with me crying at the end of books these days??? what's happened to me. i don't cry at things. i'm probably ill and should call in sick to work

[chandralia]

the awful humor of me reading through a summary of what happens in ch 362 fearfully repeating to myself "i'm Sure he is Not going to Die" only to freeze at the last sentence and have to change that statement to "im Sure he is Not going to Remain Dead" 🥲🥲🥲

if i keep repeating it that will make it true ahaha hori please my life is literally in your hands..... hearts can be restarted i trust u to do the right thing here........

LITERALLYYY I swear I went through every emotion possible last night

Being anxious before the leaks, not knowing if it was going to stay with Bakugo or switch over to someone else, feeling giddy at Bakugo saying “Izuku”, then going “oh my god” at the 2nd user being mentioned, PAUSING at Bakugo going into a “white space” with All Might’s spirit (this is where the “there’s no way?? Hori wouldn’t do that ahah…” started flooding in), GASPING AT HIS ︎HEART STOPPING,, I KNOW IT’S IRRATIONAL BUT I STARTED SOBBING, I turned off my phone and just cried for a bit because I really did not know what I was gonna do.

Went through the five stages of grief, went back on twitter, saw everyone was feeling the same, including feeling weird at accidentally laughing at humorous posts, but that’s leaks night.

ANYWAYS HE’S GONNA BE FINE, Hori said he hopes those who love and hate him will enjoy it, and so far the haters should be satisfied… He wouldn’t have ended chapter 360 like this if this was the end for Bakugo

Plus he just got a new quirk awakening !! And ShigAFO was reminded of the 2nd User. Also Bakugo “immediately understanding what’s happening” when he sees Vestige All Might feels like it’s weirdly part of some plan???? And there’s a reason it’s written as “his heart stopped” since you’re right, hearts can start again!!

Hi, I hope you're having a nice day.

I'm curious about the Singularity. I wonder if it will be solved or if the characters will ignore it. It seems relevant in the wellbeing of the future generations.

If New Order still exists, I think it could serve as a solution since it can do anything, apparently. My idea is that the quirks cease to exist but I'm not sure if it's a good one. Like, the pros and contras for the story and its themes, the characters' arcs.

I would like to know your thoughts on this. If you have blogs talking about things related, I would like to read them too.

And I have another questions:

Do you think both AFO quirk and OFA will dessappear?

Is Shigaraki's adaptation to AFO artificial?

Hi @alchemist-fantasy! I hope you’re having a good day too. Sorry for taking a bit to answer your ask; you had tough q’s and I want to make sure I answer as best I can!

1. Will the Singularity be solved?

I think the Quirk Singularity will be addressed, but not solved or cured. Figuring out how society should handle the Singularity is an enormous global threat, much like climate change is for us. Unless there’s a big magical event that strips all quirks from the DNA of every human (and animal!) on the planet, the world will need to plan for the Singularity. I don’t think even New Order could do that because of the touch + say its name activation requirements.

I also don’t think Horikoshi will go for the magic option because another solution — collective action that reaches deep for the humanity within a superhuman — is much more aligned with the themes of the manga. In other words, MHA currently has a society that suppresses quirks and doesn’t teach people how to control them or live with them (oh, and society unleashes superpowered “heroes” on anyone who uses their quirk in public for any purpose, accidental or not). Vigilantes goes into this in more detail, as does Team Up Missions Ch. 1, where a man’s quirk built up poison gas in his body and he didn’t know how to regulate it or release it safely (and he got arrested for, uh, leaking in public).

But what if society collectively invested in letting people use their quirks for the purpose of learning their limits? So they could control those quirks? What if Dr. Ujiko is wrong, and the secret to stopping the Singularity isn’t upgrading the “hardware” at all? What if school taught unbelievably powerful kids how to regulate their emotions, use their quirks safely, and take care of the people around them? What if quirk counseling and safety resources were available to everyone, even adults, so there’s no risk of falling through the cracks?

This is the lesson of Eri, of course, but it’s also present in this final battle with Shigaraki. If the heroes can demonstrate that saving Tenko is the key to helping Shigaraki control the strongest body in the world — a body that can withstand the Singularity; a body that can shapeshift to meet fleeting desires for violence — doesn’t that prove emotional regulation is the key to keeping humans in control of quirks?

I’m guessing the series will likely end with the characters and governments working together on a plan to modernize and adapt society to the looming challenge of the Singularity.

2. Does New Order still exist?

No, I’m pretty certain it’s gone. Not only did Star herself say this, but it would be weird for New Order, which was never mentioned before Star, to suddenly roar to life and save the day. As you pointed out, New Order could be used to do ANYTHING, which I personally find narratively unsatisfying compared to themes that have been built up over 360+ chapters.

I think New Order is more likely a clue for how to defeat AFO — that is, we already knew quirk factors could be fatigued, but Star proved that quirk factors can deal damage to other quirk factors AND can be extinguished. AFO cannot get rid of quirks; he can only take from someone or bestow to someone. Otherwise he relies on the power of his quirk to keep the vestiges within it under his control. I think AFO eating the rebellious vestige in Ch. 356 might be an example of this control (or else it’s him learning to break a basic rule of his own quirk, which surely has some other downside?).

3. Will AFO and/or OFA disappear?

I suspect AFO and OFA will disappear if the story needs them to. Not to be cynical, but if there’s a sequel or second spin-off heading our way, Horikoshi has laid the groundwork for more copies of AFO to be hanging around out there. And where there’s AFO, well….

That said, I have a sneaking suspicion that Tenko will hold OFA, at least for some period of time. Aside from the “ten” in “Tenko,” he has a body that can hold a post-Singularity quirk…which is what OFA is now. Tenko is the only quirked person capable of holding OFA. Otherwise it has to be someone quirkless, and the next generation (1) isn’t likely to have many quirkless people; and (2) the quirkless people that ARE born would break their bones worse than Izuku if they tried to wield OFA.

4. Is Shigaraki’s adaptation to AFO artificial?

Sort of. Shigaraki underwent a physical “remodeling” procedure that was four months of “hellish agony” in order to have a body strong enough to hold the AFO quirk and its stockpile of stolen quirks. Then he had the AFO quirk itself implanted, which involved some way of ingesting foreign DNA/cells. After all, AFO couldn’t pluck a hair from his head and say, “EAT THIS!”

But is that remodeling procedure “artificial”? Maybe it is in the same way that any transplant, implant, body modification, or cosmetic surgery is superficially “artificial” because someone’s body wasn’t “born that way.” However, it’s not “artificial” in the sense that these procedures can heal people or affirm who someone truly is. (I’m trying to be super clear here that I don’t agree with or condone TERF nonsense.) I think there’s some in-universe truth to the “healing” power of the procedure for Shigaraki too. He thought he needed more physical power to live out his dream of destruction. Think about how he is smiling, serene and gleeful, in the moments after he awakens in the war. Shigaraki believed his family was holding him back, rejecting who he truly was, and with his new body he was free.

Until AFO takes over, Shigaraki is confused; he thought he’d feel “satisfied” upon waking up reborn with the AFO quirk. He doesn’t understand why he has such a strong desire for OFA, or why his body turns out to have some vulnerabilities. Shigaraki is chasing the feeling of freedom, like he can take on the world with nothing to stop him, and his choice to change his body is an inherent part of that.

Hi, I really love Betterfield. It's one of the most beautiful neighborhoods I've ever seen and I love the way you designed it. I especially love these early summer night pics, they're so gorgeous. I'm also very impressed by your graphics. What kind of graphics card or computer setup in general do you have, if I may ask? I'll need to buy a new computer soon and I'd love for my game to look like yours.

Hi dear Anon! :) Thank you very much for your kind words! 💜💜💜 Actually Betterfield is a remake of @ousmeo’s remake of @criquette-was-here​‘s Dullfield. When I first saw that neighborhood it was love at first sight, and I wanted that map to be the base of Betterfield (which already existed). I modified and redecorated it many times, this version of Betterfield is the 2020 version, but there were many before. I have to say there’s still a lot of work with this to finally be complete. Anyway I’m thankful for all of the wonderful neighborhood deco creators!

And about my graphics setup... Well, it’s interesting you asked it, because yesterday I was about to write a post dedicated to this theme, I’m just not sure about some things so there’s a lot of testing still waiting for me, but here (after a lot of useless talking) I answer your question. 😁

So, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 520, with Intel i7 7500U, 8gb RAM, and two graphics card, an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX and an integrated one, Intel HD Graphics 620. Oh and I run the sims 2 from an SSD. That’s it in general, but if you interested I explain how I manage to run the game with such a beautiful graphics these days under the cut.

Warning! It’s going to be messy and huge, and more like a long boring story than a tip, but can be useful for someone. (I’ll write it down properly someday)

------cut should be here but tumblr refuses to put it here, and put it at the top of post instead where I can’t delete, sorry------

When I bought my laptop I was really dissapointed, because I was only able to play the game with the integrated card, and it wasn’t bad but kind of annoying when I knew I have better. If I tried to enter Betterfield with nvidia, the game crashed on the neighborhood loading screen. Uptil some point I was like okay, then I’ll play with integrated card, nevermind........ but of course I’m dealing with those problems like almost everyone in the community the random crashes and purple flashing.

I’ve dedicated half of my life to solve these problems. :D Sims 2 really is an annoying game! I’ve tried every possible solution what can be found over the internet, there were always some little trick what helped, but after some time the troubles came back. The last year was intense. There are a lof of clever people out there finding new ways to get rid of the crashing and flashing issues coming with new and new solutions and I couldn’t be more grateful to them. When I say I‘ve tried everything I’m not kidding. And I was like okay, I’m going to pretend my integrated card doesn’t exist and I will fix NVIDIA. However there are those annoying issues with both of them........

I’m trying to mention everything what helps me these days to run a smooth and beautiful sims 2 with a huge CC folder (67k+ file lot of them really high poly). First the 4gb patch and the Graphics Rules Maker. These two are pretty common.

There’s one solution what seems like to help a lot of people but for me it never worked, the DXVK method. It looks really useful, and time to time I give it a shot, but somehow never works out for me, my game crashes whenever I try to use it. But the tip @episims made is one of the most useful things I’ve ever seen, and the one by @dramallamadingdang as well.

Absolutely useful, but somehow never enough. Maybe because of my huge CC folder, or some broken mod, or my computer specs, or just windows 10 or sims 2....... whoever knows....So I was messing around with nvidia profile inspector according to iCad’s tip, trying to reach beautiful garphics with low ingame settings. It was a complete failure. Maybe my expectations are too high but those looked terrible! I decided to turn everything to the best in nvidia control panel (profile inspector seems too complicated for me), and then checked the game again. It was still ugly as hell with low ingame settings. Then I thought what the heck, and I’ve turned every settings to the best and highest, and went on checking Betterfield.

It was something I’ve never seen before. A completely smooth, lag free, purple flashing free, crash free wonderful game, with beautiful textures, smooth edges. With the highest graphics setting in and out of game! I loaded my biggest lots which are always crashing or flashing, none of them did! That was the time when I first posted about Betterfield.

The next day I was really happy, started my game thinking it’s going to work... well, I was wrong, but not too surprised. It crashed when I loaded Betterfield. I took a deep breath and started to think through what have I done yesterday what helped. And after I’ve tried some method I guess I found the little trick what helps me from that day to reach that “dream state of sims 2” again.

So, I have an almost empty neighborhood which I named “stop crashing b**ch”, that I use for testing and etc... I did the graphics tests I mentioned above there as well. So my first thing when my game loads up is to load that neighborhood and a household in there. In the household I set all of the graphics settings to the lowest (expect smooth edges). Then, I load up Betterfield. I have to mention here Betterfield is really a huge city, with tons of decoration, lots, and households (which could be corrupted as well XD). So, at that point Betterfield loads up just fine, but remember the settings are on the lowest. Then I enter one of my biggest lot, which used to be nothing more than a purple flashing. And in the household I turn the garphics settings to the highest again. And that’s it. Ugly textures are refreshing, becoming high res and beautiful, Sims 2 runs like a dream, and beautiful as a blooming flower! At this point I usually test night mood and turn on and off some lights just to see everything is fine for real. After that I can enter to my other big households, lots, without any crashing or flashing. Once I look around everywhere in 360 degree it’s absolutely lag free. Same goes for the neighborhood itself. Beautiful in day and night. :)

The only reason I haven’t share this little discovery of mine, because there’s one lot (Betterfield High School) which is still causing the purple flashing (even if it’s just a huge unfurnished building...), and sometimes there are some objects here and there randomly flashing... but according to the purple game I had before it feels more like a small bug or something :’)....

Okay, what I got is Sims 2 with highest graphics settings in game and in Nvidia control panel (like 8x edge smoothing and stuff...), working beautifully, the only thing I have to do before playing my HUGE neighborhood with my HUGE and high poly CC folder is to load up an empty neighborhood, enter a family, set the graphics to the lowest, then enter my big city, enter a big lot (or whatever, I’m not sure about this part), and set the graphics to the highest again!

I’m not sure if everyone have read this or if it makes any sense (bc of my crappy english), but I promise after some more testing, if I think it’s actually useful, I’m going to share a proper, understandable tip about this. ^^”

When your crush is angry all the time

Ch.3

Sharks or whales?

  Ch.3 

Sharks or Whales is not a stupid question 

Bakugou pov

°•○●○•°•○●○•°•○●

"I noticed it, you aren't slick katsu!"

"The fuck? Noticed what!"

"You know what, how could you"

"WOULD YOU STOP CRYING ITS ANNOYING AS FUCK"

"you don't even tell me you love me, but you can do that"

"The fuck...we only started dating like a week ago"

"Yea but- but- i"

"You what? Huh? Tell me what your talking about or get out of my face"

God, I really need to stop making impulse decisiones. I could just keep fighting with her though...she is always hotter when she is angry. That's how this all started in the first place, at that damn sports festival. Why did I have to find it so hot? 

Fucking occhaco, are you really only my type when your in battle? 

"Just shut up okay." 

"Wh-"

I made myself quick to press my lips to hers and when she gasped I skipped my tongues in too. I wanted to be slow and sensual, even with tongue, but I couldn't. The slower I kiss her the more I remember how much I am not right for her. How she is feeling something but I can't feel it anymore. I skipped my hand behind her back and drew our lower bodies closer together. 

At least occhaco is a good kisser. I bet that stalker bitch from earlier isn't. I bet she is crusty and musty and fucl she was hot though. No. She is weird, she probably got in here because of her mom so she is spoiled. What a fucking princess. 

All of a sudden chaco trips on something and is pulled away from the kiss she falls backwards and landed flat on her ass. It takes some work not to laugh but whoever did that is going to die. Even if I wasn't really enjoying myself there, I could've been. They wouldn't know. 

I look down at my girlfriend in shock. What catches my eye first, though, is something wrapped around her ankle. I bent down to see what it was. I quickly got confused because she had a dead vine wrapped half way up her call and an equally dead rose on the end of it. 

"What the fuck"

I look back up to see the stalker doing her own thing and talking with shitty hair and a dulce face. It has to be her, no one else has this quirk. I don't know her quirk, but nobody else would've done this. Fucking wierdo. 

I start walking across the classroom to where she is sitting on top of her desk, manspreading and laughing with my extras. 

"No, I'm a serious shark or whale?" Y/n asks with the most serious face I've ever seen.

"Uhm sharks, duh"

"Why though?" 

"Sharks have cool sharp teeth and they move super fast" 

"Everyone says that, but think about this...whales are so big and fat and they dont even care, they are just fucking bosses, being slow as shit and still monchin on krill and small animals, they dont even have to fight or anything"

"I-y/n you-"

"No, imagine you could just walk around with your mouth open and food would just go in. "

"Oh my god, she is right," dunce face made a stupid look of awe at the girl. 

I wanted to snap her for fucking doing that to occhaco...but for a second I was actually distracted by how she was right about shitty whales. Fucking wierdo, though.

"Oi, stalker bitch" 

I could tell she was a creep by how fast her eyes lit up after I yelled at her. Who does she think she is? She likes it when i'm mad or something? 

"Me!? Yes sir, what do you need?" She hopped off of her desk and practically bounced over to me. 

"What the fuck was that, you shitty stalker?" I spoke darkly and pointed to where me and my fucking...girlfriend had been kissing. 

"What do you mean?" She asked, looking at me with a serious face. 

"That fuckong stunt you just pulled with the fucking flower," I hissed leaning down as I yelled at her. 

"Oh, I was jealous." She said once again completely seriously,  but she had a bright smile on her face. Why is she being so straightforward, has she never met a guy before? Half the girls in this school crush on me, obviously, but they wouldnt dare say dumb shit like that to me. 

"THE FUCK" 

"I saw you kissing your girlfriend, and it made me get this feeling like i wanted you to not do that...I mean, are you dense, never been jealous before? Or do you not know what it means..."

"I KNOW WHAT IT FUCKING MEANS, BITCH! BUT YOU DONT FUCKING KNOW ME, BACK OFF!"

"But..." she looked at the floor again, I swear if she fucking cries I will throw her. 

Her aura went 360 and for some reason I got a shitty feeling in my chest, but it was moving lower...I think. Was I horny right now? What the fuck, no. 

Her head came back up and she was smirking, I wonder if this is something she got from her mom...

Those e/c eyes met with mine holding an erotic feeling that shot down my whole body. Her face was so fucking pretty right now, for no good reason and she fully lifted to peer up at me. It was much too effective in turning me on, since I was already leaning towards her a bit in my anger.

I grosled at the feeling, and then she rose her finger to point at me, just like fucking lunch time. She pressed it to my chest making me want to hit it away, but for some reason I waited to see what she would say. 

"I only really came to see you..." she spoke in a ridiculously seductive tone but at the same time...a whisper. 

"W-"

"Shh" her finger was brought off of my chest and pressed to my lips in a huh motion. 

"Don't worry boom boom, I know I don't know you but if you would enlighten me im sure I could understand you a bit better...I only have one question..."

"SPIT IT OUT YOU SHITTY STALKER!"

as soon as i yelled her finger retracted and her face returned to an innocent smile. Why does this bitch have so many faces? She looked way to excited for her question, while I was confused as to why it felt like two seconds ago she might litteraly try to fuck me, and now she looks like a kid in a candy store. 

"Sharks or whale, bakugou? SHARKS OR WHALES!?"

oh fuck this shit...

Timeskip* one week of y/n being totally confusing but also sexy later. 

Y/n pov 

°•○●○•°•○●○•°•○●○•°

I think I did something bad. I think I actually got them to break up. I don't wanna do that because my new friend mina explained what homewrecking was, and that isnt my goal. I just want to know if seeing his face all the time makes it less special, or if this crush is more. 

I shouldn't have gone so hard in combat training I guess..

"Whatever, its was stupid anyway"

"Yeah, uraraka, you deserve better than him, fucking dick"

The cute round-faced girl had tears bordering her eyes and was allowing everyone to comfort her in her loss. 

I felt pretty fuckibg terrible about what I had caused, I mean they were in a real relationship. If I had been dating somebody for a long time, and then some weirdo showed up and ruined it...I would hate her. 

"I cant believe he is so mean.." she clung to who I think is yaoyorozu, and cried into her chest. 

"It's not your fault, you didn't know he was all like that, it was only a week"

The creation- quilled girl spoke as she pet occhaco's hair and soothed her. Wait a fucking mintue. They only were dating for a week? The fuck?

"Hahahahahaha oh my god" I couldn't help but break out into laughter. 

This past week I came to teams with the fact that maybe her and him had something real, so I figured I'll settle for being free from hell, as opposed to trying to..I don't know. I don't even know what my plan was when I moved schools. I wanted to see him, meet him, make him angry again or something. 

However I never thought through a plan. So I suppose I would just have to enjoy the fact I can have male friends now. I started to back off, but one week, and she is crying over him burning me up a bit. What the hell?

"Y/n what the fuck!?" Ashido whispered and yelled at me. 

I turned a bit to face her, instead of the ridiculous scene in front of me. She had her brows furrowed and looked at me like I was crazy. 

"Think about it mina..they dated for one week...and she is crying because they broke up..it's like..it's like...bahahaha," i couldn't finish the thought without laughing but asido seemed to also find my humor in this situation. 

I saw how she almost laughed before catching herself and feighing seriousness. The other girls, minus occhaco and momo, had turned their attention towards us, looking wearily at our closeness. 

"Excuse me, I AM GOING TO GO TEACH Y/N SOME DECENCY" mina whispered yelled again, turning to face me with a fake angry look. I wasn't sure what was happening, because I have never been in a situation like this before. So I let out a little giggle and nodded, my face red and starting to hurt from the smile and laugh I couldn't suppress. 

Mina grabbed my arm just under my elbow, gripping it almost tight enough to hurt. She dragged me around the corner of the living room, into the hallway of yaoyorozou's house. We had all been told to rush here after school for an urgent matter.

When I first read the group texts I kinda thought it might be an orgy, so I figured I would come even though I didn't really want to. However..I showed up to this mansion to find a crying floaty-girl and a lot of food for some reason. It confused me because at my old school girls didn't really cry, or get sad, or be emotional. When they did it was usually about reason things, like a stolen diary, hair pulling during combat training, or one of the worst offences at my old school: playing pop music. 

Yeah, it's a weird thing for a ton of princesses and rich girls to care about..but I've seen girls lose eyes over playing "mad at disney '' in the dorms when we all know it is pretty much a sin.

Mina pushed me back against the wall of the hallway, and I would be aroused if now for the fact that she backed away and crouched over herself in laughter. 

"I-pfft I don't baha know why but bahahaj you are so right"

I didn't even become surprised by her action, I just laughed with her letting myself slide down the wall. 

"If you hadn't asked pfft bakugou that question, they would probably still be dating!" She was fucking wheezing and an idea came to my mind.

"Hey, ashido, you think if they made it to two weeks they could have scheduled a time to bahah hug in the halls"

"Y/n pfft, I think that's more of a ....3 three week anniversary thing"

We were both in fetal positions in momos big velvet- themed hallway laughing our asses off. We had no idea how the guys were reacting to this strange break up, but if a girl hated me for one of my key personality traits I'd be pretty set on..not dating them either. Good for you boom boom. Pftt ``y-you think someday we can -maybe um..mk-kiss in the mo-mouth"

"Omg your too much bahahaha"

3rd person pov

Meanwhile bakugou, kaminari, kirishima and sero were sitting in separate places around kaminari's room, not minding the huge fight between their friend and y/n...and occhaco for some reason earlier. 

"I don't get it, why did you hit her after she already beat you bakugou..like y/n was so cool and I get you dont like to lose but that royal quirk thing was many as shit and you ruined the vibe"

"Tch, whatever, she is just a weirdo bitch"

"You know that's not true dude...she actually pretty hot"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP DUNCE FACE, YOU WANNA ME TO TREAT YOU LIKE MINETA" 

"Jeez, just being honest. We all know you like it when girls can fight...i mean it's like the only reason you went out with uraraka anyway."

"THAT FUCKING ROUND FACE! WHO IS SHE TO CALL ME TOO FUCKING SCARY." 

"I mean, you kinda were, but she a bit overreacting, sure"

"Shut up sero, if she is scared, she is allowed to be scared. Its not manly to shame her"

"I know kiri, but like, if you are gonna date bakugou, shouldn't you be someone who doesn't cry when he is mean. Cuz like he is mean all the time."

"I guess..I kinda imagined she would try to calm him down but she kinda just made us all feel guilty, huh"

"YEAH CUZ SHE IS A WHIMPY BITCH"

"Shut up, this isn't about you bakugou"

"THE HELL IT ISN'T"

"Hey guys, don't you think it's kinda weird that we are in a like...serious conversation, but we are all on our phones not looking at each other," Sero pitched in, still not taking his eyes off of his phone screen where he was playing clash of clans. 

He was right, the four boys were in opposite corners of the room occupying themselves with different social media. 

"No" kaminari replied as he scrolled through his phone, not actually doing anything on it

"Not really" kirishima added in, as he was searching instagram, looking for y/ns account because he had developed a curiosity to what she looked like out of uniform. 

He had only got a glimpse of her casual clothing on the first day, not enough to even process, and for some reason when you trained you hadn't had a hero suit either. It seemed you would just wear a tank top and sweats during hero training in your first week. 

Unbeknownst to him, you hadn't had one to wear in the first place. Most of your planning for life revolved around being lazy and not needing to do any work. So, unlike the students here, you had not planned or sketched any type of hero suit. You were however working on a pretty simple one that just allowed you to be comfortable while you worked, but mom definitely was going to um...do something about that. 

"its fucking normal tape arms, everyone does this shit" bakugou spoke kinda quietly. He was just hoping no one would look up and come see that he had actually succeeded in getting your instagram. He was finding out... a lot of new things. For one, he definitely wasn't seeing your casual everyday attire. 

His thoughts were a mess, he figured, unlike kirishima, that he would use your first and last name. While his friend used y/n kayama, your well known mother's last name. He had first went on the Internet and found that you scared the last name of a king, and he knew that your quirk was royal from what you explained during your battle with him.

The outfit you wore on the first day had him in for it. As that style was exactly his type, his eyes lingered too long. However seeing you as a ballerina and a fucking princess gave him a weird feeling. He didn't know what it was, but he hated it. He hated you, and your pretty posture and cool style and your fucking princess shit. He even hated the irony in how he called you a princess for even getting into U.A. However, if you were truly the princess of the elementus quirk family...he was going to have bigger problems than your stupid questions in class. . . .

Can you give me any advice on how to learn french with succes? Does listening to french music or watching movies in french actually help, if I'm still not too good at it?

Ok I wrote a huge wall of text so I’m going to try to shorten it 

Movies- No. They’re too long and they’re usually uncaptioned and just no. Even now even if I had a captioned movie I wouldn’t be able to get through it. And videos I almost always watch captioned because holy fuck is spoken French hard to understand. 

Try a youtuber like Cyprien. All his videos are captioned and they use p simple french w/o too much hard vocab. If you’re a beginner you might need to pause to see exactly what he’s saying if he’s talking fast, but generally it’s best to try to get the idea instead of the exact words if you can. Also rewatching videos is fine, I do it all the time, you understand more every time you do it. Also watching it with English captions once and then in French when you know what’s going on is fine too. 

A great  cyprien video to start with is Technophobe it was the first time I was able to just watch a french video and enjoy it without like translating in my head. 

Music- Yes. Just don’t think you have to understand everything. Even if you only get a few words, the point is to enjoy it. Even the stuff you don’t understand, just hearing it now will make it easier to learn later. 

For example, I did a project my sophomore year where I made a music video for a french song and I think I got maybe 2 lines total from the song and I did the video editing so I heard each line *many* times. But still, I heard alot of things that, when I actually learned what they meant later, I never had to worry about forgetting that vocab bc I’d heard it so much it was like I had already practiced it.

Looking up lyrics never hurts too. You don’t have to, but if I really like a song I’ll look up the lyrics so I can understand more of the big picture of what it’s about. Even if I do, though, I still don’t always understand them when I hear them in the song, so so don’t feel like yo have to. It’s about enjoying french media, not making yourself work to learn. If it was about work, noone would choose to do it. 

So just focus on enjoying it and the rest will come. 

Reading- Read books as long as you’re at the level where you’re not overwhelmed and need to look stuff up every sentence. Le Petit Prince is a popular one.

If those are too long for you, you can try stuff like childrens’ books. pauvre anne wasn’t too hard for me when I read it in class sophomore year, also I read a good one that was super easy to understand but it was also, like, very much Not Children’s. We all thought it would have some boring sappy kids’ ending but then someone, I forget who, jumped onto this big water jet that’s famous for being big and strong and killing people on impact and we were like ohhh. That’s where I learned the verb se suicider. I can’t remember the damn name tho ugh sorry. 

Try to avoid news articles and watching the news. Talking fast, big vocab, complicated sentence structures, it’s all v frustrating. 

Also there’s this one site 360.ch that has some interesting lgbt articles that are only maybe a page long. 

Last, some resources. 

Google translate really isn’t the best to use. It work for beginners, but when you’re at the point where you need to like really understand what you’re reading and actually write quality stuff, it’s not sufficient. 

ok so i know what i just said BUT google translate has an extension where you can highlight text to translate it and so you can just highlight a word real quick and then move on instead of having to stop and look it up. It’s rad I use it all the time I couldn’t live without it. 

wordreference.com has every meaning for a word you need. Like if I want to know how to say “really”, it will give me “vraiment”(truly) and also “tellement”(so much, very) and whatever other synonyms for those there are and any other meanings for really. It’s rad. 

linguee is great for figuring out the best word in context. Have you ever looked up a word just to get a long ass list of translations and some of them you know are obvs wrong but some of them you have no idea what they mean what if they’re just as wrong? (ex: looking up “to like”and getting french words for like, enjoy, appreciate, love, adore, etc. And you know you’re not trying to say “I appreciate this food”.) 

So much for avoiding the wall of text. 

Basically, just avoid overwhelming yourself. Everyone has, at some point, felt like they don’t understand anything and they never will. You’ll get there. Just focus on enjoying french media and appreciating the fact that you can enjoy this because of the french you do speak.

Black Clover 360 reaction and spoilers

I know I say something like this every week but I’m looking forward to the anime coming back so I can see Sea Dragon’s Roar in all its glory.

What I like most about Lucius telling us about Yuno’s other futures is that it underscores two things: 1) Yuno is only The Chosen One in this universe because of the Wind grimoire and 2) having Asta around fuels Yuno’s growth as any healthy rivalry should. Yuno was always meant to be strong, but the Wind grimoire and Asta have accelerated that growth.

lol Flipped the page and Lucius is heading to a similar conclusion, that Asta helps motivate and drive people forward, a mark of a true leader really.

“This world… its the future that can't be read. This is the world Asta influenced.” Love this line. Love it so much. Also love that it accompanies one of those Asta and Yuno close up split panels that shows half of their faces.

It’s going to be fascinating to see not just how Asta returns to Clover, but how he fits into this battle, if he even fits into this battle.
