—ask collection!

a collection of mostly very old chats and sweet asks that i never got around to answering! thanks for the patience and love!!

beware, fairly long post... woops....

chat asks.

darling: Eu-jin is best boy. Change my mind.

vanya: i am physically incapable of fulfilling that request, how dare you do that to me... i’m biased since he’s my own oc, but i would die for my (very best) boy eu-jin... who can resist such a gentle yandere that loves you so whole-heartedly?

that reminds me! he’s actually based off of kuroyuki and gekkamaru from the otome nightshade, so if you want similar characters by any chance, do check them and the game out ♡

darling: I was watching the dub for Part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre adventure yesterday...Mista called himself Daddy and I like- sdfghjfgsdhnhnmj!! My heart can't take this--

vanya: WAIT HE DID???? i’m not even big on daddy kink and reading that made me go 😳 this is vital information to know... what episode was this??? for research purposes, of course. gotta perfect my yan! mista, after all~...

darling: for yandere songs, have you heard of the major to minor covers by chase holfelder :O? the way he delivers the lyrics in some songs (betty, all i want for christmas), added with the key changes to minor, is really fantastic, and gives a stalker-ish vibe imo! and he's a really good singer in general

vanya: i have!! a good chunk of them are actually on my personal yandere playlist, so i end up hearing them frequently when i’m writing!! i haven’t been keeping up with his uploads recently, so ‘betty’ is completely new to me and just, wow???????????? this man is an absolute god send for us “romantic” horror fans... ♡

this ask gave me such a lovely idea, though, darling: assigning yandere types/mbti based off each of chase’s minor key covers. i think i’ll do that just for you. ♡

darling @blossomiich: I reread some of your old character interaction asks and saw the one with Jotaro hugging his Darling after a panic attack and the elephant seal plush reminded me of the iconic C H O N K Y ringed seal plushie that was kinda trending and I can totally imagine Jotaro having one of those >w< that's so adorable!

vanya: i honestly don’t remember that interaction, but then again i don’t remember most things hmghng so i looked it up and

j...just imagine star plat hogging it and not letting joot cuddle with it 🥺 the duality of man...thank you for this cute image...

darling: Umm, sorry for asking this. I'm just curious because of your bio language in your header. Are you Chinese too, perhaps?

vanya: no worries!! i’m mixed guyanese (indian, chinese, & possibly black and/or portuguese), but my family only celebrates (or rather, acknowledges?) our indian descent, since the majority of our family is predominantly east indian.

my header is actually a quote from a danmei novel (and one of my all-time favorite fandoms), tiān guān cì fú (heaven’s official blessing)!

darling genki stan anon: Omg you're writing for free now, i didn't expect that one lol. It's a cute show innit? Not a nagi stan but I feel like nagisa has that kinda unsnapped personality that would make him peak delusional yandere material lolol like oikawa but less threatening and without his head being up his own ass 😂. Hope you're doing well!! -gsa

Gdjsjs im such a fool, i think my last ask said something about not thinking you'd write for free when i literally just pointed out kisumi on your sideblog LMAO my bad 😅 😂 also ill hold back on the gen chan requests because ive already asked so many in the past! Thank you though 🥺. Also feel free not to post this, it can just dip into my onesided chats with my lil flower 💐 so long as you receive them im fine 😌 -genki stan anon

vanya: nagisa isn’t my favorite (kisumi is), but gods if he wouldn’t make a great yandere. honestly, out of the iwatobi boys, nagi is probably the most unhinged. i wouldn’t peg him as delusional, at least not at first; i think he’s very lucid and knows exactly what he wants and how to manipulate people in order to get it!!! kisumi is fairly similar now that i think about it... i might... have a type...

please feel free to send in gen-chan requests whenever you want!!!! i’m kinda super asocial, so it’ll take me a while to answer, but i love getting asks from you since you’re so sweet and excitable!!! your little flower reads and cherishes them all!! 🥺

also darling genki stan anon: Sorry for spamming you with asks hdjkdks, u dont even need to reply im just kinda brain empty venting here whether you recieve them or not 😂 i just needed to confess that while yes i am #1 gen simp, and he is undoubtedly my fave oc of yours but that Ilya tentacle smut had me very much so highkey kinda 👀, had to re read the genki oral style drabble to bring my head back. He dont even need to worry about luca bc that man a thot. I think therin is a thot too but like lowkey, a classy thót -gsa

vanya: omg i’ve kept this one for forever mnmghngh i might’ve even answered at some other point, now that i think about it... but i just 🥺 gosh i hope i find my muse soon, because i really wanna write you a genki fic 🥺 hhhh

the ilya tentacle smut was so in character for that boy... i have no clue how to write monsters, much less tentacles, but i’d honestly do anything for him 🙏 kinky russian boy...

therin is definitely a classy thot, the kind that only bangs the finest concubines then turns around and slut shames you for banging the very same prostitutes gbfmngnfg rules don’t apply to him, in his kingdom...wish that were me tbh ✊😔

sweet asks.

darling one: i've read almost all of your dazai and chuuya fics and i love them so much!! your formatting is also super aesthetic just a question, i saw on your kofi that you also draw so i was wondering if you drew all the header arts?? bc they're all super pretty :) have a great day!

darling two: Just wanted to say love the writing and the way your format your posts is so aesthetically pleasing. One day I hope my posts looks half as good as yours because I legit can't get over how pretty and organized it looks.

vanya: omg thank you so much!!!! one of my bffs, yue, is to thank for the formatting and aesthetic choices, really! if you wanna see more of her aesthetic formats and posts, she actually runs a few blogs! you may know her as @milkscafe, formally @milkaaton! i adore her and her aes choices so much 🥺

as for the headers, i don’t draw 99.98% of them! i have drawn a couple, but they’re so few and far in between since i almost never finish my art wips haha... my older posts are lacking proper credits because i’m an absolute idiot, but i’m slowly working my way backwards to credit them all where possible! they’re all indeed super pretty!!!

have a great day yourself, my love!!

darling: THEY’RE NOT BAD CONTENT, I LOVE THEM ALL

vanya: this was in response to a now-deleted lil blurb but i kept it in my inbox because i wanted to say i love u very much and seeing this ask each time i open my inbox makes my heart skip a beat ♡

darling: Listen I love your writing, you inspired me to start it myself! I've always loved to write, and read of course but your style and concepts just stick with me. If you where to write something besides Yandere content/fandom content and started your own series? I would read the shit, out of it. I'm always nervous to interact with my favorite writers because you know, I'm afraid of the impression I'd leave but I just wanted to say this anyway! 💞💞💞🔫😳

vanya: wowowow fgfnmgnfmngfg that’s such a high compliment my brain just gmfnbgmnf go boom fogjfngnfg and thank you for the interaction, us writers truly appreciate it no matter how awkward or nervous you think you may be / come off!!!

darling one: As a writer, your post struck a nerve with me. I don’t send feedback to writers I like nearly as much as I should (and certainly not as much as I’d like in return as a writer). So, as such, I’m going to start doing that when I can, starting with you.

You are an incredible writer. You were one of the first yandere writing blogs I found and you’re still one I check in on regularly to see what you have been working on. You can portray a sense of suspense and intrigue in a natural way that many other writers - published ones included - struggle with. You delve into the darkness without it feeling forced, and you have an amazing grasp on the psyches of the characters you write for (which is a quality I adore in writing and strive toward myself).

I’m not great at ending these things so I guess.. you keep doing you? Because the you is great and I appreciate it.

darling two: hey. i'm here to tell you that from the bottom of my heart i love you and your writings. i really admire your writing skills. you inspire me. one of your posts once saved me from a nervous breakdown. thank you for everything you do. you're a wonderful person. good luck!

darling three: I wanted to tell you that thank you for writing such wonderful beautiful writings and that you take time to edit and write I hope you are taking care of yourself 💖❤

darling four: Thanks. I was having a hard time and deleted all my apps, but as soon as i opened my phone my first instinct was to look at your blog and i got my motivation back. Thanks (:

darling five: Hi ! I just wanted to say I really enjoy the stories you write and how they are detailed so well ! Stay safe and I hope you have a good day/night ! ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

vanya: ahhhh, these are very old asks mostly dating back to my “tumblr writing community is dying” post, and i’ve kept them this entire time because i’m just so starstruck. i have no clue how to reply to compliments, so i’m not sure what else to say besides that these asks made me very happy and got me through a few insecure moments!!! i’ve actually been feeling a little down about my writing recently, mostly because of lack of motivation / inspiration, so revisiting these really warmed my heart, so thank you truly ♡ i’m certainly keeping the originals in my inbox until the end of time!!

darling @monstrously-obsessed: psst, this local cryptic mom thing send all of their love for you 💕

vanya: your local herbo says she loves you very much momster 🥺 mwah

also, to the anon worried about my safety:

thank you so much for pointing that out!!! it hadn’t even crossed my mind when i made those ocs, so i appreciate your concern! i was contemplating revamping those two as is, so this is a great place to start! thank you again!!

Kahoot App Brings Necessity of a Test Program to the Classroom

Kahoot, an on-line quiz system from Norway that is rapid getting market share in institutions throughout the USA, plays out like a tv video game show entwined with a video game.

Cast in the function of game host, teachers present a multiple-choice test-- on, claim, plant life or English grammar. Utilizing the Kahoot platform, they forecast one quiz question at once onto a white boards or display at the front of their classrooms.

Players commonly have 30 seconds to click a solution on their laptops, tablets or smartphones. They gain points for right selections, and also additional points for clicking faster.

Throughout the solution duration, Kahoot emits a catchy countdown song, reminiscent of retro video games like Monkey Island. A gong appears when time is up, and the classroom board quickly tallies the course's appropriate as well as inaccurate responses. Next, a leaderboard appears, rating the top 5 pupils by points accrued.

Kahoot's gamelike features as well as simple layout have assisted turn it right into a classroom phenomenon. Of the 55 million elementary and senior high school students in the USA, concerning 20 million utilized Kahoot last month, the firm said.

" It's enjoyable. Everyone is doing it. It pulls all the kids in," Tosh McGaughy, an electronic discovering specialist at the Birdville Independent School District in Haltom City, Tex., informed me just recently. "They obtain competitive and also thrilled."

Still, it's prematurely to inform whether Kahoot will eventually enhance finding out for pupils or just provide edutainment.

" Are they took part in the content after the video game mores than, two days later on, or at some time in time when they are not having all the bells and whistles going off?" asked Heather Collins, an electronic discovering researcher and also chairwoman of the behavioral as well as social scientific researches division at Trident Technical University in Charleston, S.C.

Kahoot, an use "in cahoots," takes advantage of a number of education and learning trends. One is "engagement," or the belief that the a lot more an activity interests students, the extra determined they will certainly be to discover. One more is "gamification," the practice of using elements from games to nongame worlds.

" It is an easy game-show layout," Johan Brand, the chief executive of Kahoot, said in a phone interview.

The spoonful-of-sugar approach to understanding can be applied regardless of subject matter. "We as a firm are not curious about what they are instructing," he claimed. "We are interested in just how they are playing."

As well as several pupils are playing to win, partially by completing on speed.

" They think the cellphone is much faster," Ms. McGaughy, the digital understanding specialist, claimed. "So the competitive kids make use of the phone."

The website additionally lends itself to social sharing. Students are currently uploading their Kahoot position on socials media-- or group-texting it, even when they do not come in first.

Here is a trainee publishing on Twitter as @beansalaad: "I finished 5th in the @GetKahoot quiz 'Exactly how does the Constitution protect freedom of speech' out of 22 gamers, with 4,754 factors!"

But the consistent competition and metrology might additionally be repulsive.

" Some people enjoy being placed and having points and status," claims Neil Selwyn, a teacher of education and learning at Monash College in Melbourne, Australia, that studies how institutions use modern technology. "Yet I wager it doesn't attract every pupil in the same way." Editors' Picks The Painful Inquiry: Is New York City City Worth It Anymore? The Hardest Part of Having a Nonbinary Youngster Is Other Individuals Lock out of Disney World, Where Do These N.B.A. Teams Go Next?

Mr. Brand name, a digital marketing as well as experience designer, started Kahoot with 2 colleagues in 2012. It has because raised about $6.5 million from its very own workers, from the Research Study Council of Norway and also from Northzone, a venture capital firm that was one of the very first capitalists in Spotify, the streaming music solution. The owners focused first on the American school market, introducing the item in 2013.

Mr. Brand previously established video games services for firms like Daimler and Unilever. He likewise worked on an advertising and marketing job to help family-run inns, scattered throughout the Norwegian arms, come to be a lot more collaborative-- by talking up their fellow inn proprietors to guests as opposed to competing with one another on resort facilities. Visitors found the proprietors' tales so engaging, Mr. Brand name claimed, that they grew a lot more thinking about seeing other arm resorts.

Mr. Brand name's know-how in recognizing stimulations that can activate powerful emotions came in useful as the founders were working on Kahoot. He stated that some of his thinking was additionally inspired by a publication entitled "Hooked: Just How to Build Addictive Products."

" We are making use of music, timers as well as points, these psychological triggers," Mr. Brand said. "We are not just making for the rational feeling," however creating "for the emotional side-- where you fall in love with what is taking place."

The brand name's novel social-learning tale notwithstanding, Kahoot looks like a little bit of a throwback to a much more antique instructional technique: behaviorism. This is the idea of teachers shaping student actions by handing out gold stars, stickers, factors and so forth.

Readers that went to institution in the pre-laptop period may have played class games like multiplication bingo, an offline workout in which students win honor or rewards for being the quickest to remember their times tables. Today, pupils may use Ascend Math, a learning app that awards pupils that complete a degree by letting them play short video games.

Of course, factors, bells, computer game leaderboards and all kind of other mind stimuli can end up being habit-forming-- like ice cream. That does not make them great for trainees.

" If you get an ice cream sundae on a daily basis after dinner, you are mosting likely to anticipate that gelato sundae each day after dinner," Professor Collins, the finding out scientist, stated of Kahoot.

Mr. Brand stated Kahoot was not meant for educators to use with their courses daily, but once or two times regular.

" Life can not simply be a Kahoot," Mr. Brand name joked. "Really, that would certainly be extremely boring." A lot more seriously, Mr. Brand stated: "From the outdoors, Kahoot might look frivolous. But if you are an educator, you can see pupils are mentally participated in the product."

He added that the startup was a lot more focused on checking out exactly how the test system influenced pupils' passion in going to institution and also discovering, instead of their scholastic performances. A little study by the start-up of university student in Norway wrapped up that there was no significant difference in test results between those who took a Kahoot quiz and also those who took a typical quiz theoretically. However the Kahooters reported enjoying their experience a lot more.

" We are considering emotional engagement," Mr. Brand name said.

Kahoot is totally free for teachers, who can post their very own surveys or choose among a number of million quizzes that individuals have actually posted. The company has actually started to create income by charging authors to consist of tests with their product on the site. It likewise uses a fee-based solution for business to make use of Kahoot for consumer advertising and marketing or to engage workers in corporate information.

Several educators run Kahoot to obtain a quick snapshot of how their course is doing.

" They can obtain prompt feedback on the amount of trainees addressed properly and which questions trainees are still dealing with," stated Susan Rieke-Smith, the superintendent of Springfield Public Schools in Springfield, Ore. "Then they adjust the lesson prepares for the next day based on that data."

Some teachers also use Kahoot to introduce a lesson, as a way of igniting trainees' interest in taking in unfamiliar material.

Nolan Sullivan, a social researches instructor at La Salle Academy, a Catholic senior high school for boys in Manhattan, chooses to utilize Kahoot without the video game music or the gong. He states he frequently asks his ninth graders to devise their own questions on topics they find out in course, such as middle ages or Islamic history. After that he includes them into the quiz.

Asking his trainees to produce their very own inquiries, he says, gives them additional motivation to comprehend their lessons. It additionally has them returning for more.

" When we are doing test preparation, my pupils will claim, 'Mr. Sullivan, are we Kahooting tomorrow?'" he told me. "Kahooting is an actual word now."
