#my student years ago

[spikeisawesome456]

I realized I didn’t post this earlier. But I saw Alex Hirsch the other day! He was at a Barnes and Noble in San Diego (which I’m in for Comic Con, ha) and while I sadly was unable to get a ticket for an autograph, I did stop by to see him at least. And then, the next day, I went back to pick up a copy of The Book of Bill that he’d signed, since I know Barnes and Noble sometimes has extras they sell the next day. It’s a little disappointing it’s only his initials, but I get he prolly didn’t want to sign hundreds of stickers with his full signature, ha. And I have his full signature on a Stan and Bill toy box that someone who was a fan of my FB page sent me years ago, so it’s not like I don’t have anything with his signature.

(Which is here, if anyone wanted to see)

Overall, it was neat to see him, even if I didn’t get to interact with him. :-)

I love talking to rabbis as a recent conversion student because the interaction goes something like, "you're converting? Now?! At this time, at this moment in history?!". And they always talk about this influx of jewish convert students they've seen recently, and it's like...

There's this level of respect I get from rabbis for converting at this point in time, but... Has there ever been a good time to be a jew in the last thousand years or so plus? I'm imagining that rabbis and jews in general back in 1492, back in 1290, back in 1349 would have said the exact same thing. So, really, there is only a time to be a jew. Maybe it's not a "good" time, yes, but it is a time. And to me, that's good enough

In the middle of the third millennium BCE, schools of writing known as edubba sprang up across Southern Mesopotamia. Aspiring government or temple scribes copied and memorized phrases and names of trees, animals, countries, cities, villages, stones, and minerals. They wrote essays describing their daily routine. "I recited my tablet, ate my lunch, prepared my new tablet," declared one fragment from about 2000 BCE, by which point the pictograms had assumed a distinctly wedge-like shape. "When school was dismissed, I went home... I told my father of my written work, then recited my tablet to him, and my father was delighted."

What probably happened

Jorge: yeah, I wrote EPIC and its super successful, I paid off my student loans, but I can’t get the idea of writing the Iliad as well…I’ve got so many ideas for it but I just don’t know if I could commit…

Lin-Manuel Miranda: (puts a hand on his shoulder) Jorge…do not throw away your shot

comic about something that i still don't understand

[tora-the-cat]

wait a minute. why do we not talk about Kabuto's gennin sensei who was Orochimaru's student and Anko's teammate and the sensei of three fairly obvious orochimaru plants but also. Seems to be a genuinely loyal shinobi of Konoha? Cheers on Ino-Shika-Cho during the konoha crush? Is at the thirds funeral mourning him? IS NEVER NAMED OR SEEN AGAIN????

ohhhhhhh the reason why the treaty between japan and britain specified an end to diplomatic immunity was because kazuma was never meant to return to japan the assassin swap was tying up Three loose ends: the man who supplied the fake evidence, the man who planted the fake evidence, and the determined revenge-obsessed law student who was going to get to britain one way or another and discover and expose the fake evidence!

unlike asa shin who was still a willing player in stronghart’s game they had no reason to actually safeguard kazuma against repercussions because it would be better for them if he did get sentenced for it! and kazuma played into their hand almost perfectly, there are even moments when you think he might have done it.

how excited do you think stronghart felt when he found out kazuma was alive and in london and in his control, and jigoku had no idea and was offering to kill gregson instead? all of his ducks were in a row and he could get rid of them all in one fell swoop!

i think sebastian would’ve grown up to be either a curse-breaker, healer, or professor. he came way too close to azkaban for him to realistically become an auror imo. my hc though is that he became the hogwarts dada professor and one of his students was dumbledore

just remembered something again. when you were in school was there a time where you were visited by a circus that made everyone at your school practice a big circus performance that you would perform at the end of the week
