#memorize by repetition

[itstheheebiejeebies]

I'm a simple guy, I see the tail number on the Just-A-Snappin' and I turn to mush. That's my emotional support plane that gets wrecked off screen

i love frontiers with my whole heart but it would have benefited so much from having the platforming be tied into the environment itself instead of placing assets all over the islands. i don't necessarily have problems with the assets either but i'd imagine they would've served their purpose better when used far more sparingly and probably have them tied further into the ancients' technology to emphasize their artificial nature. that probably would've made the exploration angle of the game more memorable as well by making the player concretely interact with the environmental storytelling at hand more often instead of giving them funny rails and springs and platforms that take the focus away from the environment around you in favor of delivering a more traditional platforming challenge where the island is just a backdrop

The younger man had stood out amongst the hoary-headed sages congregating in the rented hotel. His sport coat was a loud bottle green check, his hair past his collar, and he was holding his champagne flute like he was afraid it would sprout wings and dart away. Nobody was speaking to him, and Rufus could feel his hunger for acknowledgement from across the room. It was cute, like a jealous puppy. Rufus had given him what he wanted. “Who, me?” His deliberate, wide-eyed innocence was more alluring than the real thing. Rufus had thought briefly that he was wearing mascara, his lashes were so dark. “Oh no, I’m unattached.” Rufus had never discovered how his apprentice had managed to get himself an invitation, or if he had ever had one to begin with. He’d displayed a startling flair for shapeshifting after having only been introduced to the rudimentary principles, leaving Rufus to wonder even years later if he had been in the habit of it before they had met. He was also very beautiful. Not everything could be chalked up to magic. When asked why and how he was there, he had only explained his motive. “I want to apply with the council, as an apprentice,” He’d smiled winningly, tipping his head towards the crowd milling around them. “But I don’t know any magicians–and that’s no way to get a placement, of course. So I thought, ‘why don’t I go somewhere there’s lots of them?’” The smile had turned coquettish. They’d made eye contact.  “Find somebody my speed,” Rufus had honestly doubted whether he was a good match for him. The younger man was obviously brimming with magic, enough to make Rufus’ teeth hum. He would have fought any of the other men in the room with his bare hands for a chance to train him. “And you think I’m your speed?” “Yes, I do.”

Need something fun to read this weekend? Might I suggest the first chapter of my ongoing novel project? If gay wizards, poorly-considered revenge quests, trans Goths, & the early 2000s are up your alley, consider following the link above (or right here) to start reading for free! 🧙🌈

The exquisite painlessness So brief, Heretofore unnoticed and dreadfully ethereal: As when awareness shifts, That terrific veil lifts And the agony, Like lightning strikes back in.

🔥+ opera

love the fact that two of the three of these asks i got were exactly the same prompt, lol. anyway i'm gonna say it: i like it when operas have repetition in their arias and recurring motifs throughout the opera!! #bringbackthedacapo. and i like having distinct sections of recit and aria. late romantic and modernist stans dni i guess...i simply think that the music is better when it's memorable sorry 💖

Enjoying Imitation

In my previous article. I discussed imitation, repetition, and memorization. Imitation is important for learning purposeful movement and other skills. Imitation is the first step to learning. Read the article by Simmi Vasu here. Repetition is another important step in learning. While we don’t pay much attention to the role of repetition, Ananth’s Bharatanatyam experience made me tune into the…

of course it's a good idea to incentivize good test scores etc. but the issue is a complete lack of oversight for the layout of the test, making them extremely easy to cheese into being just a memory regurgitation exercise rather than a problem-solving exercise.

the best high school calculus only teaches you limits in order to test your mental arithmetic and memorization, and you can forget about epsilon-delta entirely babey. similar is the case in other subjects. truly problem-solving based exams take weeks to grade!

nobody is doing it like harrowhark nonagesimus. she ran a planet alone from the age of ten. she memorized a 10000 page fanfic out of pure repetition. she lobotomized herself to command f and replace every instance of her gfs name. her favourite food is gruel. she constructed an entire time bubble in death to provide backstory for her lobotomy. she hallucinated coffee au fanfiction.
