what gets lost in discussions about kaiba's education w/ gozaburo is that they only had about four years of it, and then gozaburo unexpectedly died. granted, the text indicates kaiba was a little baby genius, and we do know gozaburo crammed his schedule with social sciences and economics and languages, so he probably DID learn a hell of a lot. but i think sometimes we're like, "oh, gozaburo definitely taught this 12 year old how to hold his liquor," as though this wasn't something that could've waited until he was 18 or so, and as though anyone would expect a 12-year-old to drink with the adults at a business dinner, and as though gozaburo was planning to die sooner rather than later (teaching kaiba to hold his drink is one example of this.) like it doesn't make sense that kaiba's education was "complete" by the time gozaburo died.* some parts of kaiba's education as Capitalism's Best Most Neoliberal Avatar have to have been incomplete due to gozaburo's death. imo.

*all of this to say, in terms of being a ruthless villainous bastard who will eat up anyone in their path, gozaburo probably looked at seto sitting across the table during the takeover and thought, "there is nothing else i can teach him," and left, through the window. THAT part of the education was complete

"L'Oiseau de Nuit" by Jean Cocteau

L'oiseau de nuit, il vole sans bruit Il est seul dans la nuit, il est seul dans la ville Il cherche une lumière, il cherche une étoile Il voudrait trouver une âme, il voudrait trouver un abri Mais la ville est froide, et personne ne le voit.

POV: You are a Royal Navy captain in 1808 and have successfully captured a French frigate, but as the French captain hands you his sword you misgender one of the ship's boats.

Swiss culture is feeling like you never know enough languages because you keep meeting people who speak like 1527839302 languages and leave you feeling like you need to work/study harder.

hmm french ppl love manga don't they. maybe i can find a way to read the rest of this story in french

[star-spangled-man]

this might sound random but if you suffer from doomscrolling (ugh dont we all) and feel bad about it, try switch your apps to other apps that help grow ur brain!! like kindle, audible, podcasts, heck even fun puzzle games, or something to help you learn a new skill like duolingo or some course on youtube!! I know you don't want to hear it but trust me it actually works! I cant cut it out cold turkey but I can swap them for something else and still stimulates my brain and gets it moving! Take it from me, I have been learning languages for a whole two weeks now and its actually like "wow I did that!! go me!!!"

try find a new skill or hobby that makes you and your brain happy!!! teach yourself things! learn new things!!! ahhhh there are so many things out there my friends!!!

Poésie mercredi#8

"Petite philosophie" by Agnès Varda

Les feuilles mortes tombent et se ramassent, Les amitiés naissent et se délassent, Les coeurs battent et les gens se lassent, Mais la vie continue, c'est une éternelle farandole.

...but

...if I buy a book in French and read it, it'll suffice to jog my memory without having to submit myself to duolingo's agony or waste money in a language course when I technically know the language but I'm so rusty I can't speak it anymore?

The 5th edition of my annual birthday + life updates post! ☕️🖤

Despite receiving two dreamy French university offers, I will be continuing to study psychology, this being my fourth year out of six!

I will be studying modules in intermediate statistics, biopsychology, cognitive psychology and the philosophy of knowledge. I’ve been yearning to do these modules since the start of my degree hehe

I will also be taking classes in the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, even though the materials list burnt a huge hole in my wallet rip </3

I’m so excited to be 23, and I hope this next academic year will be kind to us all~
