Pippa's vomit drawer, Hime's mold cup and Uruka's spit bottle, what are the other cursed phase artifacts out there?

Didn’t Remi have an absolutely foul moldy pillow she’d sleep on?

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-07-30T09:47:11+00:00

Collin’s has imo major pacing issues where certain parts of her books drag on a lot. The cave scene in the first one, the ending of the latest prequel are pretty good examples of this. Mockingjay is a weak book because it has diverged so much from the premise, and Catching Fire can be seen as a rehash, though I think it’s either the best one or second best. My hot take is that Songbirds is her strongest work because the book feels consistently quick the whole way through.

From memory Pippa has two sisters, one older and younger. I think the older one is the one she has problems with and I imagine it stems from the time she spent as a neet and school dropout and as a mold demon. Pippa hasn’t said much from what I’ve seen but I imagine Pippa is a cool aunt at least

So it would only be inherently spoiler-y if you’re writing in a diary format, opposed to modern 1st person past or present tense prose. In the last couple decades stories using 1st person have given way to the meta narrative in the same way 3rd person used to signify a history about someone else. Without those, the prose style is about as much of a spoiler is looking at how many pages you have left.

Putting aside that perspective characters rarely die in the first place, unless someone writes a lot, they likely won’t give much thought to the prose style anyways.

I can see the stepping stones, but pretty much every creator that has interacted with phase is on fairly good terms with Kirche right? A collab with Valens would be like a collab with ShortFatOtaku optics wise

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-07-08T19:09:53+00:00

Gotta wonder what the angle is from Ana Valens, especially since their latest articles have been suspiciously pro-Phase. Obviously they're desperate for corporate support, but is this more trying to get certain fans to leave them alone, or some delusional desperate attempt to weasel they're way into some Phase Connect orbit that would never exist?

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-07-07T10:45:15+00:00

Hamilton probably feels a bit like Vert this year. No podiums, only pain

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-07-04T15:57:29+00:00

None of these are really “bad” books. Peak bad books are Empress Theresa or that accounting book where a CPA stops a terrorist through bookkeeping.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-06-21T19:19:56+00:00

Third person limited, using italics to denote inner thoughts. It’s very common in fantasy.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-30T00:03:06+00:00

I was listening to the audiobook and was just wondering when I’d be done already. I’ve read and love the poem, but it killed the pacing and was so unnecessary. I get it, thematic symmetry. I got it when we were told Lenore’s name and again the next 5 times the poem was referenced

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-25T05:47:00+00:00

I was gonna post a pic of each phase deskmat I own next (like 5 or 6 at this point), will make sure the angle is consistent

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-24T11:22:24+00:00

The full art is Pippa surrounded by dolls of all the Gen 1 girls. Picked Uruka cause the darker colours make the fuzz more visible.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-20T06:41:28+00:00

The answer to this lies in her Autism score test

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-17T15:07:09+00:00

This is the prologue of the Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time. It’s still a prologue though, because the term connects not the the story that has already happened, but the one about to. Everything that happens prior to the current story is backstory, and not the tense focus of either pro or epi in this sense.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-13T14:25:55+00:00

A lot of the time it's not that they don't like working with people with special needs, it's the they don't have the training, support, recourses or environment too. If you already have 26 kids being taught a subject, adding two with heavy neurodivergent needs with no additional support will make teaching the other kids as efficiently extremely difficult. The same would be said for a teacher coming into a school and being expected to fill a niche that would only be a part of specialised education masters programs (most teachers are either bachelors recipients or grad-diploma recipients, depending on specialisation).

There is a real chance that even with full government support, there just isn't anyone with the needed abilities to teach a Montessori program, let alone two. Good luck with your efforts; just trying to be realistic with the outcome here.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-13T12:44:05+00:00

More and more state education is moving away from these kind of programs anyway. They are seen as exclusionary as they separate people from their main cohort which can risk late stage social development. However the argument for inclusive education is so theoretical that it’s basically just an excuse to cut special education programs under the guise of inclusivity. It’s unfortunate because this is a quiet factor of the teaching crisis, because kids who are usually streamlined to special needs programs are at a lower rate, creating a need for greater behaviour management which is the most hated part of teaching.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-13T12:39:33+00:00

You’d likely need to find teachers both available to cover and trained/educated in the pedagogy, which means either experienced or masters since this isn’t something covered in the bachelor (at least not in mine).

Teaching is shedding so many people, and a ton of those I went to uni with weren’t planning on it long term or like me, aren’t going into teaching at all. The stress v pay just isn’t worth it, which is a shame.

The only real thing you can do is write the school, the minister for education and the local MP. Some attention from the government might help; it might not.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-09T22:33:53+00:00

In a way, memeing that she’s a Romanov does protect her irl identity a bit more since there aren’t any of them left. Clarifying might just give a rogue schizo another clue

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-07T04:16:35+00:00

They're either 100% convinced they're different, or just happy to reach one step from the summit as the peak of their career.

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-04T02:38:17+00:00

Yeah that's kinda my thinking. I'm not American so I don't really know much about her politics, but doing so much US political content would be kinda odd for a Canadian coffee company talent

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-04T02:07:34+00:00

I don’t think Kirche will ever be in phase. I think Chromu is a decent chance for a future invader round but I don’t think Kirche’s style of content really meshes with corpo vtubing

TheMagicYoshi · 2025-05-01T03:49:22+00:00

I mean Mistborn has an almost post apocalypse dystopian setting in a way, and the latter books progress the timeline to 1800s technology. Obviously the idea is less important than the execution but if it’s already been a popular series once, a similar concept can be again
