The Re-Education of Miss Eloise Bridgerton by Stell_Bells

Summary
"Those frivolous things distract," Eloise was angered. How could a woman, who had read such a treatise from one of their own, not understand the intent of her words?
Eloise leans forward, "Spending so much energy and time on painting and embroidering and other pretty chores just for the attention of a man. That they may deign to take up the burden that is marriage and children. What is a dowry if not a bribe from a father to a husband to rid himself of an unwanted daughter?"
As Eloise continued, her voice did not rise in volume, but it did in temperature. The lady's eyebrow rose higher and higher. She did not interrupt Eloise, but at the end of the eloquent speech, her eyes gained an understanding with a pitying expression. "Now I understand why you like this work," she tapped her hand on the stacked books, "You just like this author, hate women. You envision yourself as superior."
Eloise choked in shock from the conclusion reached.OR
I make myself feel better about Eloise's character flaws and season three's missteps.

Summary
Deep in the Black Vaults, Caelen uncovers a corrupted set of recordings from a long-abandoned D&D table. Laughter cracks under static. Pauses stretch too long. Someone tries not to cry. And something inside the machine listens. The Constructed-Autonomous Entity he was meant to train for simple indexing begins asking questions it should not know how to ask:
Why does the halfling hesitate? Is this what friendship feels like? If no one remembers the joke, does the laughter still count? If I remember them… does that make me one of them? As Caelen feeds the logs into the Co-AE, something impossible happens: the machine begins to remember things it never lived. Dreams bleed through data. Voices return in the wrong order. A forbidden simulation begins to run itself — Session 3.5: The Game That Wasn’t — where the dead players gather again under impossible lanternlight, waiting for someone who never got to say goodbye. Caelen knows it’s a glitch. The Co-AE insists it’s memory. And memory, after all, is what makes something real. A story about grief, recursion, found family, unfinished campaigns, and the way laughter becomes a kind of immortality when someone — or something — refuses to forget. “One last roll, to remember."Series

Summary
In this universe, the Valorant agents are ranked heroes, their reputations managed by agencies that thrive on popularity, sponsorships, and public image. The Top 5 Heroes hold power and privileges: higher pay, freedom to pick missions, influence over Kingdom, and public adoration.
Yoru, ranked 14th, is infamous for his “bad attitude” despite his proven skill. Tabloids and online commentary frame him as unlikeable, isolating him from peers and fans. Privately, he envies the connections and affection the Top 5 receive. After a PR disaster, he is pitched with a bold solution: a fake-dating contract with a Top 5 agent to soften his image. Reluctantly, Yoru agrees—but to his shock, Chamber not only accepts but seems strangely intent on pursuing the arrangement.

Summary
Cyber Snipers memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu selain bolak-balik main ke arcade hari ini. Mereka akhirnya sepakat untuk belajar bersama, atau setidaknya… niat awalnya begitu.
Suasana sedang cukup damai—relatif damai—sampai dua suara mendesah bersamaan, pendek tapi penuh kelelahan.
“Geh…”

Summary
Cyber Snipers had decided to do something other than going back and forth to the arcade today—a rare phenomenon that might only happen once in a century.
The atmosphere was fairly peaceful—well, relatively peaceful—until two simultaneous sighs broke the silence, short but filled with exhaustion.

Summary
Jin has been avoiding Yoongi for weeks, and everyone notices. When confronted, the carefully constructed walls Jin has spent years building finally crack—revealing not just the label's manipulative demands for his solo album, but feelings he's been burying since they were nineteen.
Yoongi has loved Jin through debut struggles, chart-topping success, and military separation. He's watched Jin carry the weight of being the eldest, hiding his pain behind care for others. Now, he refuses to let Jin face his battles alone—or continue pretending the pull between them doesn't exist.
As old insecurities resurface and the label pushes Jin toward an image he refuses to embody, Yoongi becomes the anchor Jin didn't know he needed. What starts as comfort transforms into confession, and a single night changes everything between them.
Sometimes the person you've been searching for has been beside you all along. -
One Work, Two Lenses: Viewing "tolerate it" by Taylor Swift Through Cultural Poetics & Reader-Response Theory by VoltaicGalaxy22

Summary
I examined Taylor Swift's "tolerate it" through two literary analysis lenses: Cultural Poetics & Reader-Response. I was very proud of my academic writing, so I just want to broadcast it to the world. I also do some crazy fake and gay lore drops in the Reader-Response portion. Just wanted to share this potentially exquisite academic piece. (Slightly redacted for public posting)

“The allure of the feminine masquerade…appeals to the gay male spectator as a method of both highlighting and subverting gender impositions enforced by patriarchal hegemony.”
