day 4/? of semester b at home
today was my first official online uni class- an identity workshop. rather than using skype or an online call platform we used our exciting uni platform as a chat forum, i found it interesting to see how people approached the task (such as posting the questions in order of completion or all at once like I did). i think it will take some time to adapt to, but i did manage to make notes in the way i would normally (typing into the thread and then transferring onto pen and paper).
hoping to finish saint death today, and moving on to researching boy, snow, bird with some academic articles and journals

Claude Debussy - Suite bergamasque, L.75: 3. Clair de Lune
Reminiscing our memories you look at my body. Cold on the ceremonial stone, placed in the woods, protected by the flowers given by those who would never meet me again. 
Disconnected from the silent mourning of others behind you and getting closer, you once more caresses your thumb on my cheek and bend over touching foreheads with closed eyes. By doing so, you feel the essence of my being disturbed, begging to be released. And with a single drop of a tear you kiss our last kiss and whispers “goodbye, for now.” 
Taking backwards steps, towards your assigned position, you watch with our loved ones as my body dissolves in a million little pieces and it is taken away. When it is gone, you don’t watch the guardian initiate the chanting, or even hear the beautiful choir singing for my safe passage. 
As they cry in the pain of premature loss of a loved one, a loud cry of sadness and anger, you tilt your head upwards with a bitter smile. 
Well… Yes, you are the only one who will get to be with me again, and yes, it will be forever. But wasn’t I taken too soon from this part of the journey?

I probably don’t understand enough about linguistics and translation etc etc, but what on earth is it about the French language that makes it so dense when translated into English?
(Note: I attempted to take French in uni, failed one semester of it which made me very sad, and switched to German to complete my language requirement.)
I read so much French literature and the English translation always seems so much more dense and complex and convoluted than the literature I’ve read that’s translated from, say, German or Russian or Japanese. Is the density because of the sentence structure itself and the difference between English and French sentence composition? Is it the decisions of direct translation vs translating the meaning/feeling of a word? Both? Something else entirely?
I’m in the middle of rereading Les Miserables for the third time and also reading The Thief’s Journal by Jean Genet and it’s just interesting to see the similarity between language density. And I just want to know why. (And maybe understanding why the translations are so dense will help me understand why I’m bad at learning French no matter how badly I want to learn lol.)

1 and 12? 😊
1. What made you start writing fanfic? 
Well, it is a bit of a long story! I have been reading fanfiction for X-Men and specifically for Rogue/Gambit (romy) ship since 2006/2007… I think (I have forgotten!!!) and it’s been a habit that I have not given up. It helped me improve my English and I made lots of friends because of that. It inspired me. I had some ideas for X-Men fanfiction but they never became a reality cause I was very insecure about my English language skills.
In 2015 I left Greece to live in Germany for 3 years to start my PhD. Since then my handling of the language has improved a lot and I have developed strong  skills in scientific writing because I do all my work and thesis in Englsih. I like writing a lot, which is helpful for research. In early 2018 I was recovering from burnout/depression and I was not working for a few months, my income was zero. I was looking for a creative hobby to do something and socialise so I signed up for an affordable creative writing seminar in Greek. The spark returned and the Romy ship was once more official in comics and stronger than ever. During chats with my romy fandom friends, who always root for me, I had a crazy idea inspired by my real life experiences of online dating: what if Rogue used an app to find someone else than Remy during their therapy sessions, as they happened in their mini? And thus my first one-shot was born!  
2. For E-rated fic, what are some things your characters keep doing? 
I have not written anything E-rated so far, and my part in the collab fic “Le Gift” was not E-rated. For my new story “To the edge of your sky” there are some sex scenes that play in my head, but I would not like to spoil them. Perhaps there will be some scenes with violence as well. Either way, we are still many chapters away from anything sexually M/E rated.
My intention is to write Alexander and Cassandra as two adults who know what they want and are very willing to please each other but also explore some paths, they are both mid/late 30s after all. I do not like to read graphic sexual scenes that remind me of porn videos; I like it when they are part of the character/relationship development, so I hope I achieve this as well. I also love innuendos. But let me hint that Cassandra’s love for smutty literature MIGHT be an inspiration ;)

Too Much for Him to Handle
By Anita Smith
Tumblr media
He couldn’t hold her love In his hands. It burned him Because he was not used to a love So pure Without expectation, Lacking judgment of him, And Unconditional. He let it go And couldn’t grasp it again. It was too unfamiliar and unusual So he went back to loving the superficial And continued to feel alone.
Anita Smith developed a passion for writing and literature as a young girl growing up in the South. She has a BA and an MA in English and was formerly a high school Englsih teacher and composition professor at a technical school.

Hi!
I haven’t given any updates to this void of a website in a long time, and at the very moment I set foot on this hell I see rumours of it being taken down (ok, I guess?)
woa woa my english has gotten so much better since I first started (bitch you got a degree in fucking english literature).
(You win a selfie if you read to the end!)
When I was 16 I really wanted to look like Irene Adler, to have as much class as her and have a similar relationship as she has with Sherlock (healthier ofc), I expectations from a kid. The episode aired seven years ago and last friday my gf (are we dating??? are we a couple?? idk help??) took me to the theater and said I gave the same vibe as Irene Adler. Now looking back I have a relationship with a guy the most clever, most annoying, most sexy man I know which has similarities with the one she has with Sherlock.
So to sum up this bullshit, some things in my life make me super happy and I honestly would have never expected to get to this point, I’m just deeply failing at university (It’s super hard to manage, HIQ kid here hi!).
PS: I’m only writing this to avoid finishing my essays on Ireland and englsih grammar.
PPS: I always wear this hair-do at the moment, I didn’t do it especially for this post. (feat. messy flat, full bookshelves, no makeup, cliché christmas jumper.)

More on the earlier topic. Tropes and the modern fantasy genre: Tracking the evolution of genres is a bit of a hobby of mine. The development of the fantasy genre was heavily influences by Tolkien and The Lord of the Ring especially. Tolkien's works popularized high fantasy and brought Fantasy back into the realm of what is respectable for an adult to read. That said Tolkien did not originate many of Fantasy's tropes, and if we were to look at the Legedarium as a modern work, it would be quite subversive as the tropes in Tolkien's work predate the whole Fantasy genre. In the current meta D&D has the most influence, some direct but mostly indirect. But let's track some of the influences from Tolkien through D&D into more modern fantasy. (Please note this is all extremely reductive, like I'm cutting out all the conan the barbarian).
Perspectives on the past:Tolkien was a philologist, someone who studies the stories and histories hidden in words, (That's how the Silmarillion happened.) and he was deeply influenced by his work materials such as Germanic and Anglo Saxon epics. Let us look at Beowulf in particular. Beowulf as many other old stories were when the documentation/nationalism craze took over Europe recorded at a later date than it originates, or to put it another it was a heroic(in the old sense) epic as told by a Christian scholar than analyzed centuries later by the Brits. As much as it is about the warrior culture of the time, the final lines are a mourning for the end of that culture. A grieving goodbye for the end of an age. Sound familiar? Tolkien's Legedarium too is about the inevitable march of time, regardless of what happens next, the past will never be again. I should note here that Tolkien was a Catholic traditionalist (with all that implies) in the early 1900's. Thus (along with other inlfuences) established the trend of Fantasy looking back. Later fantasy works drop the inevitable change part (especially TTRPGs I'm looking at you 40k) and often end up in a static world that romanticizes the past. FE games often feel like that, nothing ever really changes. If we look at the world in Echoes compared to Awakening, what has really changed?
War: For all of Tolkien was immersed in heroic epics, his attitudes on war can better be traced to his experiences being deployed to the front lines in WW1 and losing all his friends but 1 to that war. Tolkien is a WW1 author though he is not often thought of that way. Tolkien's thesis is essentially that war is a terrible thing that humans have made and should be avoided. Hey hey have you guys read the fanfiction Tolkien wrote for "The Battle of Maldon"???? Its called "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son" and its great. It is also the work that most succinctly (hahahahahahha) states his anti war sentiments. And of course its in the style of a dialectic. Its a good read. He is highly critical of the idea that war is in any way glorious. An idea that a lot of later fantasy flat out drops. There is no glory in war, only loss.
Heroes: despite everything Tolkien still believed in heroes (In a way Jackson and the movies didn't really). But in response to the great warrior heroes of legend, Tolkien believed in the everyday hero, that every ordinary person has the potential to rise to the occasion and help. Fighting capability and violence does not make a hero, but character and spirit, and doing what needs to be done. The best example is Sam. Tolkien also spent a lot of time playing with and subverting the traditional tropes of heroes. For example Turn who is set up as a archtypal hero but who keeps  messing up and making things worse. Maedhros whose traditionally heroic qualities box him in and also make things worse. This stance on heroes also tends to be dropped with many Fantasy heroes destined or special in some way.
Lastly, above I often referred to Fantasy and in doing so mostly meant the image of fantasy that many have in their minds. This image is primarily derived from books publish in the 80's and 90's. In the last decade I have seen Fantasy have a rebirth, reincarnating into something new and fresh. In other words the archtypal Fantasy in many ways no longer exists. Current fantasy is influenced by urban fantasy, videogames, and the re-imagining of old mythology. Its also much more diverse. I was getting tired of the vaguely european coded straight cis male teenageer that grew up on a farm. I am excited for this future.
I forgot the eurocentrism!!!!
Tolkien as a white Englsih dude living in England in traditional academia and essentially being a European lit major was eurocentric af. I doubt it was intentional, just like I doubt Tolkien was aware of the extent of his racism and misogyny. Most people are to a degree, and if you are never challenged on it a person can go their whole life without realizing that they have assimilated a lot of bigotry.  The 1800's and 1900's saw the rise of nationalism all over Europe, its how WW1 started. Every nation was having a big dick contest competing "Hey look! my culture/history/literature is better than yours". That's why philology was so popular, its about a langauge's history and tied to national identity. Its also why philology fell out of fashion because the Nazi's were really into that stuff. That's another influence on the Legedarium "A Mythology for England" Finland had the Kalevala but what did England have? Also. British Exceptionalism was totally a thing back then. The glorious British Empire~~ So all of that ended up in Fantasy. You can see it really well in D&D's Forgotten Realms. The Sword Coast (europe coded) is presented as the baseline and everywhere else is oooo~ so exotic and foreign. Now tracking this into JRPGs is where is gets real interesting because japanese society has this weird fetish for "The West", and white people. So you end up with this old romanticization of a kinda european-ish looking setting that's really disconnected from reality. Bloodlines: The belief that X group of people is inherently different from Y group, feeds ideas of racism. As does the belief that because X group is different from Y group, descendants of X group have certain traits (moral, behavioral, political, etc) that make them different from Y group, that lineage means something. And Tolkien was caught up in these old ideas (these have been debunked).  He did make progress when people wrote in about anti-semitic implications for the dwarves, including rewriting the Silmarillion (again), but I don't know if her ever fully dropped the idea. Consciously he was very much against racism and everything the Nazi's stood for, but subconsciously like most other white people at the time he held within him the seeds of racism.

2 Ways You Could Utilize teacher To Become Irresistible To Consumers.
Who Else Intends to Delight in teacher.
School sources appear to become easier ahead by as innovation developments and also individuals around the globe end up being a lot more interconnected. Incorporation is performed with the very best of intentions, yet I assume that a great deal of teachers just typically aren't planned for it. I want that teacher education and learning programs were doing even more to resolve this. In order to end up being an educator you not just need to have your undergraduate degree yet you additionally need to get your masters in order to educator for a certain amount of time in specific college districts. A variety of language institutions where I reside in Crete will work with educators without permits. While this growth is occurring the teacher is introducing books to the pupils, the teacher will certainly often appoint each publication an analysis degree. Tip 9: Advise students of research projects and also other products the teacher pointed out in the lesson plan. Kenigson says that an objective of Western education and learning must be totally free discussion, and that administrators and also educators ought to motivate such in support of a principles of respect in the class. Guitar instructor software is a effective and innovative teaching tool that can certainly be valued by both the music educators as well as their trainees. I do not simply indicate they have actually ended up being much more flexible (which they definitely have actually as demonstrated by two pupils touching their forehead to their toes titan gel for the first time recently). And, by asking the appropriate concerns throughout your teacher interview you will certainly separate on your own from the other prospects looking for the exact same mentor task. Tomorrow several pupils taught by these instructor will become doctors, designers, attorneys, high business symbol and also whole lots more. One of my friends is an on the internet high school literature and also writing teacher in Florida. As a house education mommy, I have actually a freshly found appreciation for exactly how hard it is to do it well! Although the job of teachers in this situation might be more complicated and difficult, they still should do as well as meet the requirements that have been put into place. In addition to the details rules and also guidelines pertaining to multicultural in education and learning, teachers ought to be well versed in the struggles that multicultural pupils deal with. Educators obtain new pupils time after time, which needs teaching the same points year after year. Superb ... Educators is our guiding light.I have an optimal teacher, his name is POULE SIR.I miss you. Although targeted at UK moms and dads as well as educators there are products there which will be suitable for all Englsih-speaking countries. But students and educators have a wider series of opportunities, because they can use education-only clip art. Our mission is to facilitate methods for art instructors to collaborate to help one another grow. When the economic climate has a hard time, this is the finest as well as only method to make sure that your organisation will proceed to broaden as educators in your local location shed more and also extra pupils. In some classes, even the best-designed lesson plans might not work as the educator intended. Their team of 6 American and also 11 Indian artist instructors held a week-long program for over 200 orphans. Whether with seminars or phone conversations, you must be in touch with all your kid's instructors; not just the ones whose courses present an obstacle.
Discover How To Beginning instructor.
For example, if his/her class contains numerous Hispanic students, the educator might familiarize him or herself with practices of that society or find out the best ways to speak some basic Spanish vocabulary. The brand-new CEO is a Lot of money child that gathers 200K salary from FSE, but has no public school teaching exp. Songs instructors find an urgent need to multi-media mentor devices as it consists of an unabridged guitar lesson and tutorial that tactically teaches the trainees with chords, ranges, composition, improvisation, method researches, and songs theories. Still, in most places teacher works pay well and also afford sufficient vacation time to make them appealing. There are absolutely great deals of techniques that could assist people expand these abilities, however numerous fantastic instructors have excellent mentor intuition. On-line teacher workshops are in the process of being created and also will be offered shortly. Additionally, with the built-in laser tip instructors can point out any essential info on the table from any type of range. You have to require that all of your trainees spend for every single week of the year regardless of whether or not they choose to appear (without comprise lessons). Educators and moms and dads can utilize the gathered details to exercise how rapid students read publications as well as to which students honors ought to be given. Return to professionals say that for a winning teacher resume, your resume need to have mentor ideology included.
9 Ways teacher Can Make You Unyielding
There are messages as well as resources such as this for ALL topics in the key field, and also these are fantastic due to the fact that unlike High School educators, key educators aren't professionals - we may have a couple of subjects we truly take pleasure in mentor and have an unique passion in, but we still have to be prepared to educate across ALL the KLAs. In the beginning these certification programs were not needed by the teachers training yoga, however with the expanding commercialization in every field, now all training institutes have started going with licensed people. Since they could be of great aid to the educators in charge, there are some infant day treatment facilities that utilize TA's. Whether you have any passion for mentor or any other aspect of education, you will certainly not delight in concerning function on a daily basis if you do not like youngsters. In mentor analysis particularly, it is very important for a teacher to be able to identify what a pupil is fighting with and also the best ways to aid the pupil boost.
