Now that I think about it, those kids actually have the same schedule for the exam subjects now. It's just that, the classes were divided based on their performance in each of the subjects.

Oh, and I reread chapter 25 only to find out that both Connie and Meg were indeed in the same group with Anya, Damian and Ewen there.

Now I wonder what will happen next...

Saw/shared a post that mentioned 'youtube grammar' yesterday and I checked the tag and

Its basically the thing where people mishear words or phrases and then say it wrong. Some examples are

'manner of fact' instead of 'matter of fact', 'eck cetera' instead of 'et cetera' 'I could care less' v 'I couldn't care less'

And the poster blamed this on lowered education standards, lack of education, and basically people not learning grammar rules and not being able to break down what language a word is from to figure out pronounciation. Im not saying thats wrong, I dont know.

But I also have a running joke/recognition with friends who are bilingual or speak multiple languages, about how sounds get mixed up your head, and sometimes you'll even think of the right word but your muscle memory will write or type another. The example that started the conversation in earnest was me spelling the word 'pneumonic' instead of 'mnemonic'. (If you're going ooh this is his tumblr, hi! :D).

In a comment I was just writing, I wrote think instead of thing. I knew the word I wanted was thing, its the word I thought, its not the word I typed.

Also today I wrote 'mood' instead 'move'.

Its not a lack of education, or a misunderstanding of grammar, or mislearing a phrase. My fingers just mess it up sometimes, because somehow the link between thought and typing has to do with the sounds, not the root or the spelling or possibly even the language. Because, pneumonic.

I dont know if this holds the same with the spoken word, I dont know what those pathways are, and to begin with Im neither a linguist nor neurologist. Im just noticing patterns with myself and my friends.

If anyone does know facts or science about this, please do chime in!

For the Green Lantern/MHA ask that just got posted: I'd argue that Bakugou would get a Yellow ring, not a Red. Because Atrocitus at one point says the Red rings only attract people driven by rage gained from personal loss. He even calls rage coming from things like prejudice/ignorance/threats as fear in disguise. And Bakugou's rage comes from his myriad issues, most notably being afraid of Izuku and the fear generated by his inferiority/superiority complex. All his rage is a front for his fear

I actually did toy with him getting a yellow ring. Part of why I decided against it is I did want the subtle implication that was going over Bakugou's head; namely that the red rings (in main DC canon at least) aren't going to villains. Overwhelmingly the yellow rings do. Like if I did do that as a proper AU I may have done it that Katsuki got a yellow ring, along with how Shigaraki did, and Katsuki having to handle in a sense the way the rings rolled out that he was viewed as only being 'worthy' of a villainous ring.

Though now thinking on this I could actually have done something super interesting with Bakugou getting a yellow ring (and in a sense being forced for at least a time) and having to join a villainous organization (the Sinestro Corps), and Shigaraki getting a red ring (since a lot of his issues *do* stem from personal loss in the form of his family) and thus for a time being part of a group that more leans towards anti-villains....

Additionally, I fully changed Bliss’ backstory because yeah. The Reboot is major character assassination but I can’t stand the idea that they want to imply that Professor Utonium

A man who has gone above and beyond to protect his children (to a fault) would just let this happen? Would just accept that Bliss had like exploded and disappeared, just shoots her with a stun gun after all these years of believing she was dead? Yeah hard NO.

Even if it’s his first “child” he is a dedicated and caring individual and he would have worked harder and done whatever he can to help with Bliss’ unstable nature. 

So to me it made more sense that the Professor would keep Bliss in stasis, working with her through the years with the plan of reveal once she was stable to prevent drama and complication. It might not be the best choice, but Professor often goes overboard doing what he thinks is best for his girls and I felt this should be no exception.

oh shit i had an additional thought about Faith: 

we all know that Sam would have let Roy heal Dean even if he’d known the truth, that he’s a hypocrite for so strongly condemning it later

but Dean doesn’t now that

the fact that Sam apologizes bringing Dean to Roy, his insistence that he didn’t know and that letting anyone else be healed is wrong—it’s all sending a very particular message to Dean: that there are limits to what Sam would do for him. if Sam had known, he would have let Dean die. Sam doesn’t love or need him as much as Dean loves and needs his baby brother

“must be rough, to believe in something so much and have it disappoint you,” Dean says.
