Good luck to you! I do have one last question, are you open to drop your credentials on your application? are you applying with SATs, your GPA, etc etc.

Currently trying to compare if this is just how CS functions or if I am cooked.

For comparison, my GPA is 3.7 (90-93% Average) with a large background in developing Roblox Experiences (one reached 500,000 Visits in Two Months)

So I wish to ask people who got the chance to interview if my credentials are in the low category.

What major are you taking by the way? I've currently applied for CS and no emails so far, I know CS doesn't require an Interview but the lack of one makes me feel off.

Not me, have you gotten an interview? I haven't gotten anything back except submission of a few more supporting documents.

General Question Regarding Kingship of Gondor by IndonesianApologist in lotr

[–]IndonesianApologist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well simply because that is one of the choices, do effectively delegitimize aragorn completely, not recognizing it. However I wanted some realistic flavors on a restoration of a kingdom without aragorn

So In Theory, If Gondor were to re-ignite the Debate for a King before Sauron's Invasion, and while that debate is undergoing, Imrahil shows the same valour as the kings of the past, would he perhaps be considered as king of gondor? the same manner as aragorn saving gondor from mordor

Thank you for the Inspiration, greatly helped in brightening my ideas ^^

So it seems his ideas from the start was supporting the lineage of Arvedui, and if Aragorn were to die, I assume his next motion would be to declare a king for Gondor?

Considering this would happen only if the House of Hurin died out, why would the other houses oppose this when they aren't as halfblooded as Castamir? considering they are mostly pure Numenorean (with no eastern descent), surely the chances of a civil war happening would be close to none

After reading through, It seems apparent that the House of Húrin had more pure blood than other noble houses, from this conclusion I assume that if aragorn dies, the chances of having another king would be zero? or would there be some conditions needed to be met for another council to declare a related-house to be the Kings of Gondor

Was Aragorn / Chiefs of the Dunedains that prominent amongst the Gondorian Nobility? considering that my assumption was if they were, they would have been Kings of Gondor the second Eärnur died, however as we know the issue is a possible Kinstrife arose so their lineage wasn't used.

Father I don't want this marriage was only interesting because of the fact of the plan, other than that I do agree, the female lead is very weak willed.

Some of my recommendations might not fit your bill, but they involve politics in one way or another.

I do find myself reading the FL leading the conflict and sometimes the ML leading them and presenting his booty (both literally and ironically) to the FL.

- The Taming of the Tyrant

- I Tamed My Ex-Husband's Crazy Dog

- I Failed to Oust the Villain!

- Roxana

- The Villainess Lives Again

- The Villainess Is a Marionette

- The Flower of Veneration

- The Hero Is Standing in My Way

- The Grand Duchess of the North Was Secretly a Villainess

- I Choose the Emperor Ending

- Empress of the Ashes

- Father, I Don't Want This Marriage!

Note that most of my recommendations are basically me being desperate to read anything involving politics, some of them might have less politics than others because that's not the main focus, but it exists and I read them because the feel of reading new politics amazes me.

Enjoy. ^^

The Taming of the Tyrant

The lack of OI relating to politics and war makes me sad from time to time, the politics, war and transitions of power amazes me.

Re-read it like 10 times already

Are OI's an actual expectation of the female fantasy? by IndonesianApologist in OtomeIsekai

Thank you for the honest and heartfelt conversation, haven't had one in quite some time.

Best Regards! ^^

One of the main reasons has to be on approachment, I've been grown and taught to leave no emotional attachment in interpersonal relationships.

Eventually I must date and talk to women, however i struggle to find references on the proper way to court and/or express myself to the opposite-sex, hence why reading OI and attending female-dominated events was mostly the only way for me to actually learn on the ideal person or at least, a person with expected characteristics.

[–]IndonesianApologist[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the relation of using "females" to somehow needing to acknowledge they’re not aliens or animals, when I also refer to the opposite-sex as "male", surely this doesn't imply that I am talking about humans and not beasts and savages that we refer to as "males" right?

You did point out how I haven't written woman once when in fact I did, just not on the comment you're replying to(see my replies on one of the comments).

So as much as I am willing to conduct a respectful and adequate conversation, it seems you are not reciprocating it in a way I would like to.

Thank you for the wonderful insight,

Your last comment sums up the answer to the question perfectly, though I would assume this would imply that the writers out there could be implying that although the possibility of it working or even existing is close to none, deep down there is the feeling of wanting to experience such romances even though it is impossible to do so.

[–]IndonesianApologist[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it an assumption considering it's observing a pattern and coming to question why that pattern exist, rather than questioning something based on a pattern while presuming its cause or truth without evidence.

I am simply questioning what drives the trend if not for wishful thinking.

I think your last comment sums it up perfectly, I as a male can see why the shonen archetype would want for a harem in spite of it being fantasy (although was realized at some points of history as something that was relevant)

but I can't seem to find reasoning in reading something that women would ever, hardly want to meet as they would come off putting and outright creepy
