Beck: Paige, there’s someone I’d like you to meet.

Paige: That’s the real Tron? He’s alive? Then…no offense, but why did he need you to be the Renegade?

Tron: Reasons.

Beck: Shut it. Now look, I want the both of you to get along.

Tron: As long as you like her and she doesn’t betray us, I’m happy.

Beck: Oh. Really? Great!

Tron: Paige, if you hurt him, they’ll never stop finding your remains.

Paige: I wouldn’t expect anything less.

Beck: What did I JUST say?

I wonder how Galbatorix felt when he found out that two teens he was looking for, who were literally in different parts of Alagaësia, somehow met and decided to team up

One Piece Academy chapter 47: Lost Dog part 1 (Quick translation)

source | index

(Law and Cora don't appear in this week's part, we'll see them next week!)

"A Grand festival for Onigiri lovers, the Onigiri Expo!"

<What appears before Luffy's brother Ace kun is... Onigiri? >

Onigiri: Waff!

Ace: The heck are you?

[Title Card: New World High "Moby Dick School" 2nd year, Fire fist Ace kun]

Ace: A baby bear?

Onigiri: Waff!

Ace: If it waffs then dog, I guess...You a pup?

Onigiri: *huff* *huff*

Ace: Here, take the skin of my steamed bun. See ya.

(walks away)

Sorry, doggo. I can keep a beetle at best as a pet.

Onigiri: (look at him rofl)

Ace:.....

Hoop!

*puts Onigiri down*

*starts running*

HOW 'BOUT THAT??

Onigiri: Waff! Waff!

Onigiri: *plops*

Ace: !

(Don't look back...!!) *dragging himself*

(rip dog)

Ace: DARN IT!!

Ace: Fine, fiine... my loss.

Well, it's definitely a lost dog so that takes some weight off... let's search for your master, shall we?

Onigiri: *marveled at butterflies*

Ace: Try actin' like a lost dog, will you...

Well, let's go! Er...... Norimochi!

Onigiri:.....

Ace:.... Guess that's not the name.

(T/N: Norimochi is mochi wrapped seaweed so Ace was pretty close! Reminder that Onigiri is named by Luffy, so the bothers have a similar naming tendency lol)

<DOOON! >

White Chase Smoker sensei]

Smoker: How long does a freaking cup of coffee take? Tashigi!!!

Tashigi: I'm sorry! There are so many types of beans;;

Someone: *light coughs*

Ace: Sorry for the inconvenience, but... do you perhaps recognize this dog?

Smoker:

Ace: 'guess not? Sorry for the trouble! 👋🏼

Smoker: You!!

Smoker: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

Tashigi: *brings coffee* Decided to go with the regular after all!...Huh?

Ace:!!

Oop!!

Ace: The dude from earlier.. ain't that too flashy for a greeting?

Smoker: You sure look carefree... Whitebeard corps second commander, Portgas D. Ace.

Ace: Mm? You're that guy from Luffy's class! If I remember right, smokey-

Smoker: It's Smoker!

Ace: Right, Smoker sensei, tutoring my li'l brother.

Smoker: Cut the crap. You stayed at our school for two months, made a name while I was away on a business trip, then quickly transferred to Moby Dick School branch.

Only if you hadn't moved there... I would've thrown you and your brother into the reform room and straightened you out!

Ace: Well, now I'm practically in a different school, so let all that slide, maybe?

Smoker: No can do. As long as I'm a teacher, and you're a thug!

Ace: What a boring reason.

Aight, let's have fun!

Smoker: But before that, why's that dog with you?

Blue: A Retelling of "The Blue Castle" by M.J. Rednow

Valancy is not a rebel. Every moment of her day is controlled by the artificial intelligence that monitors her movements, but she doesn't dare to resist strict rules of Stirling Society. Any who object are cast out of their safe city and banished to the toxic, dangerous Wilderness. Yet Valancy dreams of freedom, inspired by the secretly subversive writings of John Foster. His supposedly scientific texts speak of the beauty of nature and spark thoughts of society beyond Stirling control--yet, for Valancy, these can be nothing more than dreams. Then the infallible AI medical doctor informs Valancy that she has less than a year to live. Valancy realizes that she doesn't want to die never having lived, and she begins to push back against the restrictions of her life. She speaks out against the pointless rules, helps an invalid deemed useless to society, and is eventually cast out into the Wilderness, where she marries a mysterious outcast who teaches her to brave the wonders and terrors of nature--and maybe, to bring down the Stirling society once and for all.

The previous classics professors at my institution were both there for A Really Long Time and my department is in one of the oldest buildings on campus, so occasionally my chair or our department secretary will take me, The New Classics Professor, into a little-used office or classroom, open a closet door, and say, "Well, this is J's or C's stuff, I've been afraid to touch it in case it's important."

cue me staring in appalled astonishment at an entire closet filled with boxes of slides, or old LIFE magazines, or boxes of squeezes, or dozens of rolled-up maps.

so, uh, yeah, I guess this summer I'm going to have to figure out how to use a slide projector just to figure out if the slides are important enough to figure out how to get funding to get someone from the library to digitize them. (there are also several slide projectors. there's actually an overhead projector in the classroom I teach Greek Art & Archaeology in, which me and the jaded millennial non-traditional student in the class are just like 'ah, our childhood' about.)

I am just old enough that I had professors who still used slide projectors, but I myself have never had to use one. (last time I had a prof who used a slide projector was in, uh, 2010? I was actually in his class the first time he ever used a powerpoint, he had to have a graduate student come in to hit the spacebar for him to move from slide to slide.) (yes, he's retired now.)

(I'm a history professor, but there used to be a separate classics department in the same building before it got folded into the history department when a bunch of departments consolidated. the classics department has always been on my floor; there's still "CLASSICS" signage in the hall.)

For the genre prompts since I.. read a lot of non-fiction in 2024 (which if you can use that.. kudos?) I'm gonna go with a good ol fanfic trope of hurt/comfort

i'm fully cheating rn. this is the part i cropped off my last piece to make the composition work but i'm using this as an excuse to post it anyways.

Okay I just realised this but Vasco's two moles under his eyes reminded me of this old saying that two moles directly under the eyes mean you get bad luck in relationships. Intentional or not, this detail is a nice little easter egg to his relationship with Machete and any he had beforehand!

The duel in the volcano takes on a very different light once you unironically start shipping ViGreenDow, I realized…

Random reminder that fat people are precisely as good, important, worthy, beautiful, valuable, and deserving of respect and love as thin people are. Including really really fat people! There is no version of you that is superior just because they weigh less. All the different-sized versions are identically wonderful.
