Books and Berries

Like look at this guy, eyes like saucers, blown away that someone like Kagi could lack confidence and struggle with matters of the heart, when he's such a beast on the court.

There are no pops and swirls of romance. This is literally Shirahama watching Kagiura and being like...

This though, also real:

Can we all just think about Shirahama noticing the way Kagiura and Hirano treat each other, the same way he observes Sasaki and Miyano?

The way Shirahama is trying to learn about love through others has my whole heart! He's like the world's best wingman 🥰

Now, think about him reflecting on this conversation in the future when he realizes WHO Kagiura loves.

And to see it so normal and subtle, like how Sasaki teases Miyano and how Miyano freaks out and then gets all starry eyed and yaps while Sasaki nods and encourages him?

Then he tells Kagi to leave the sweeping up of the court to him.

Like, go be in love.

“Spanish and Taiwanese scholars have discovered the world’s oldest extant and largest Spanish-Chinese dictionary at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Archives.

The 400-year-old “Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum” (DHS) provides not only the Chinese characters and Mandarin terms to Spanish words, but also their equivalent in Hokkien, the language spoken in Taiwan and Fujian province in southeastern China where many of today’s overseas Chinese came from.

In the Philippines, many Chinese speak “Fookien” or “Philippine Hokkien.”

Ironically, the dictionary, cataloged in the UST Archives as “Vocabulario Espanol-Chino con caracteres chinos (Tomo 215),” was found with the label, “vale muy poco,” that is, “of little value” for contemporary use.

If something has a big fandom, publishers and studios know they can make money off it. This is why we see publishers openly acquiring and selling things that were originally posted as fanfic, like Alchemised, Heated Rivalry, etc. It’s why the horrid wizard woman considers people participating in her fandom to be supporting her political causes.
