[ 𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬 ] : sender is voicing their negative opinion about a person who appears to be close with the receiver. / bernadetta von varely, as your professor, i feel it's necessary to inform you that I believe Mr. Bearkley is holding you back from your true potential. you're not shooting for the stars. you're not giving it your all, and Mr. Bearkley is enabling this behavior. Think of your untapped potential. Let's put aside our beef and focus on getting you in tip top shape.
* for you i would.
i dont have a fakedeep poetry line caption for this. ive been trying and trying to think and just cannot even make one up. odin dark of norway you have insulted mr bearkley and you simply must perish never mind i got it. uhhh something something you think you're the shit but you aren't even the fart. or how did that one go again? ah fuck never mind. here we go
professor dark is a funny little man. he wears funny flip-flops attached to his pants, he bellows from the thesaurus glued to his lungs, and he strikes poses in public that her mangled corpse could not be caught doing if all the saints and their mothers possessed her right now.
bernadetta has heard the lecture before. she has heard it from seniors and students alike, and the first half of it nearly puts her to sleep. her lips twist down in an affronted curl.
potential this, potential that. some of them mean well—she feels all the more rotten whenever they're kind—but all of them learn. they all eventually learn she's impossible to deal with. stupid, ugly, whiny, worthless. why bother?
they all give up. she is fine with that. she gave up on herself, too, ages ago. bernadetta is fine with slinking back into the shadows, letting herself be forgotten in sweet peace...
...yet when odin dark dares accuse the only friend and confidant she's had for years, her eyes snap open. bernadetta recoils, her arms tightening around the armored bear stuffy as her body half twists to obscure it from the madman.
"what are you talking about?!" the fight in her flares up, a petite spitfire in the fray. feathers ruffled, she quips with a tiny stomp of her foot. "mr. bearkley doesn't have anything to do with this! bernie's stupid and worthless all on her own! you don't know him, or me! so... so there! y-you can eat your fell flip-flops, mister!"
she doesn't mean that, not really. clumsy and rash on occasion as she may be, bernadetta knows—she knows, she knows so much more than she is equipped to convey. she knows she isn't being fair. she knows mr. dark only means well. she regrets every mean thing the second it flies out of her mouth, and it shows in the way her eyes fearfully flinch. but that is mostly all she really knows—she holds her sword by its knife end and wildly, frantically swings.
she freezes like she's been hit, a half-stammer of syllables caught like rocks in her mouth—sorry, i—but no, it's too late. it's always too late. she made her bed and she instantly dives into it. she staggers, she spins in the opposite direction. the rapid patter of bernadetta's boots is the last thing odin hears of her.

i love and miss goofy dabihawks . mid fight in a less extreme hero/villains universe hawks making a reference to a cartoon he used to watch and dabi's like 'Okay pause i swear no one else watched that show but ME. name three characters from it?'
and hawks is like (sheathes feather blade) 'Listen the fuck up bastard.'
hawks: (enraged) u burnt that entire street down and now ur expecting me to NAME CHARACTERS from MAJ-I-NATION to PROVE im a REAL FAN??? IT WASNT EVEN GOOD
dabi: (didnt like it either) (obstinate) it deserved an oscar
hawks: THE ENTIRE STREET, DABI
dabi: ur always nagging me go nag compress its all his fault
hawks: oh with the secret fire quirk he's been hiding all along?
dabi: dont be so crabby. HE said this street looked burnable
hawks: and ofc u went 'ill hop to it!' instead of using your CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS!!!!!
dabi: (mad) i dont hop
hawks: (handcuffs him) touya todoroki you are under arrest. you have the right to remain silent. anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. you have the right to an attorney. if you cannot afford—
dabi: YOU PISS ME OFF, TAKAMI
hawks: (relentless) —an attorney, one will be provided for you. do you understand the rights i have just read to you?
dabi: (sullen) no read them again
hawks: touya t—

I love Silas and Colum as a reflection of what Harrow and Ortus could have been. I love that I feel also that part of why Ortus is not that for Harrow is because he did not step forward to teach her. Harrow and Silas both are horrifying, self-suffering teenagers from some of the more extreme practices of the Nine Houses. I think the detestation the Eighth House has for the Ninth House circles back more to the way they are also weird and extreme and secretive.
Especially when you line it up to what we see of Ortus and Harrow as necromancer/cavalier in HtN. I can't help but think if Ortus had gone with Harrow, he would've seen that, too, and measured himself to the Eighth cavalier.

so I'm finishing up The First Battle and like. yeah gray wings "tell the stars you won" line fucks hard but where did this come from. u spent like 3 books doing nothing but whining over everyone hating ur brother for being a power hungry dictator. where did this change of mind come from. ESPECIALLY SINCE MINUTES AFTER U GO BACK TO CODDLING HIM.
this chapter should've been from his pov. like I wouldn't hate this nearly as much if we saw his thought process; the brutal realization thar he can't keep denying that clear sky is a shitty person and everyone was right about him. idk. either that or give the line to thunder.
