#(AKA the one who supposedly got all the autism)

[lunarlegend]

can't stop thinking about Ignis & Noctis both being autistic

Noctis: "Actually, my brother got all the autism." :/ -waves to someone without making eye contact- ... -looks down and starts meticulously separating all the veggies from the rest of the food on his plate- "...Anyway, let me tell you about this fish I caught the other day-"

[untraceable-ace]

Alright everyone shut up and sit down it’s time to talk about the origin of “vaccines cause autism”

Most of the information I’ll be discussing in this post comes from this video by hbomberguy on Youtube, and I’d recommend you check it out, especially since I’m just going to be summarizing the key points of the origin of the concept, while he goes much more in depth into the situation and lists his sources (plus he actually delivers the information in a pretty entertaining and funny way that makes it much more digestible and not nearly as mentally draining).

But if you don’t wanna watch a nearly two hour long video on the subject and basically just want a tl;dr on it, I’ve got just that for you under the cut

Content/Trigger warning for child abuse, medical abuse, and medical malpractice. Please take care of yourselves yall

So long long long story short:

Most of the vaccines cause autism bullshit can be attributed to one Andrew Wakefield, a (now ex) doctor from Britain, who in 1998 published a study in the Lancet medical journal claiming that there was a link between the MMR vaccine and something called “autistic enterocolitis” aka a form of non specific colitis that caused autism, and was supposedly caused by the MMR vaccine

Guess what though? His claims in the study were entirely speculation, and most if not all of the information contained in that article was complete and utter faked bullshit.

Prior to the study being released, there were about 30 people who believed vaccines caused autism, and those 30 odd people hired a legal team to sue vaccine companies. Said legal team hired Andrew Wakefield to find evidence that a vaccine could cause autism.

Unsurprisingly, there was no evidence that vaccines caused autism (i know, shocker right /s). But Wakefield had already seen a second business opportunity in turning people against the MMR vaccine.

He made a patent for an individual vaccine and planned to sell his own single vaccine, and encouraged the public to get three separate vaccines instead of the combined one, in the hopes that people would buy his individual vaccine and he’d therefore get rich off it.

So guess what? He faked it. He claimed there was evidence of something called “Autistic enterocolitis” that was caused by the MMR vaccine that was causing autism in children, and the British media ate that shit up.

Trigger warning for child abuse and medical malpractice

And what makes it even worse is that he didn’t just make this up, no no, he desperately tried to find any evidence that autistic enterocolitis was real, and in doing so put multiple children through a ridiculous amount of unnecessary and invasive procedures (such as colonoscopies and lumbar punctures) and damn near killed a child through a colonoscopy (a procedure that a child should never have done unless absolutely necessary due to high risk of the procedure going wrong).

And a good handful of these children weren’t even autistic in the first place.

He gave the parents consent forms that did not detail the exact risks of the procedures, and in fact left out the risks all together, meaning the parents couldn’t even give accurate consent for their child.

Andrew Wakefield was discredited and struck from the medical register after his horrible practices came to light, and the UK’s vaccination rates recovered.

But this mother fucker lives in the US now.

Texas, to be specific.

And because of him, our vaccination rates are at an all time low.

He’s not even actually antivax, but now he has to be, otherwise people are gonna stop paying him money. Then how will he afford his secluded mansion in Austin Texas /s

Fuck Andrew Wakefield. If I ever see his face it is fucking on sight.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

sojme reasons winston billions is totally autistic and everyone is just mean

b/c i’m autistic and i say he is

why Couldn’t he be

tics and fidgets are persistent......aka the repeated drumming on table / armrest......

the wince-ston thing he does when self-correcting........even the :\ which happens repeatedly

coming across as Blunt (rude) b/c of speaking straightforwardly.....e.g. “you’ve also never seen them cut off their own father’s head before”......frankly he was just being honest in the interview but it’s obviously Arrogance if he’s but a humble interviewee And daring to just be real about how good he is......presumably the loss of the other secret basement quants occurred thanks to something along these lines......i guesssss “i can’t absolutely guarantee it...like i can my coding” was also deemed Too Arrogant but he’s just being correct

another “overly” straightforwardness in his answer about the discrepancy between realized gains and expectations or whatever........he Could have gone ahead and said it might be front running, as he says he started the email due to making that hypothesis already, but his immediate answer is a more technical one.......not necessarily Knowing instinctively what element to respond to / what the implied Important Part is, going for the most factual answer......

kneejerk instinct to Factually Correct that can come off as grating / pedantic....”it’s pronounced ‘owned’”.......

my guy’s got scripts and shit you Know he’s approaching situations planning out what to say.........he didn’t think of “you ever done math meetup” Or the “look, i was really glad you called etc” lil monologue right then spontaneously............he had a whole shtick for his interview.......he was Ready To Go with his admonishing monologue (admonishlogue...idk) in 4x11 you just Know it

speaking of his interview shtick........i think it’s pretty obvious it’s not working right off the bat and he’s choosing to persist in spite of this But Also probably a case of maybe not picking up on all the social cues here quite fast enough / properly.........fair b/c the whole thing lasts like 20 seconds

speaking of his admonishlogue........i think also (probably......) the delivery of all of it and word choice and such come off as Weird / wrong / kind of ridiculous or not-worth-taking-seriously or whatever (i mean that’s the stance most ppl take about Anything winston says but) and it’s like, first of all back to the script thing and how clearly he Had to have thought all of that out beforehand which comes off as A Lot when he’s just unloading it all at once like that, and the sort-of Formality in the language he’s using is another ~autism thing~ and might also serve to make it seem too weird to take seriously or whatever

speaking of even further.......i like the return of the “moi” lmao again that evidently just strikes people as further Weirdness but it’s not too hard to have things internally repeated to the point of becoming a regular part of your vocab......he’s not saying it all the time but the fact he does Twice and in completely different circumstances sure seems to suggest it does just naturally come to him sometimes

speaking of even further..........like almost every scene he appears in he’s shot down but this Particularly matters in s4 when he’s around Multiple People and is again shot down in pretty much every scene he’s in save for ep 12 and his second appearance in ep 8 where he doesn’t speak.......like, does anyone like him? harbor particular respect for him? not have contempt for him?? signs point to Who Knows But Probably Not Really.........to take a quote like, yeah he’s being dunked on sometimes all the time sometimes, but that sort of more subtle disdain is like Aha The Autistic Lifestyle........to paraphrase a quote: the Quiet Rejection And Exclusion that autistic ppl are likely to receive...........see also the “can you believe this guy” type of nonverbal reactions that seem to indicate that people Know he’s unlikely to pick up on them; coming across Clueless or Dense for not always detecting / understanding nonverbal cues or even verbal signals that supposedly imply something that’s not actually being said............rude. he’s not Not fitting in because he Has to........kind of being cordoned off by everyone else

seriously like where do you see him Trying to not appeal to people....trying to be difficult or ~rude~ or whatever........he has good contributions but ppl are just dismissive of him b/c he’s Weird and not to be taken seriously.....he comes in trying to be Super Confident but despite continually being Accurate about how good he knows he is (which is continually frowned upon) he doesn’t have anywhere near the arrogance of like 94% of people on the show........he keeps getting dunked on but and all these other grown men who are like twice as old as probably-mid-20s winston would just like, have their delicate egos explode and flip tf out on everyone if that happened Once to them, but winston just seems to take it all in stride.........when he botched the interview so hard he spent the next however many weeks in Depression Time he was still listening to what taylor said despite having no reason to think they’d get in touch with him again like they did, and when they met up again it’s obvious he’d thought about what taylor in particular might actually want from him......ppl are acting like he’s just some dumbass nerd who happens to be good at computer things which isn’t really impressive cuz no one cares get a life etc.......he’s Not.............he’s out here listening to other people even if he doesn’t have reason to think it’ll be some Advantage for him and he is always Trying and just providing amazing quanting and these overlooked insights and is getting no respect b/c he comes off as odd and thus is deemed annoying / ridiculous

anyways that like weird quiet universal social rejection is like ah yeah this smacks of autism

would that anyone would like him right off the bat......would that we could Know he has one person to consider a friend who considers him a friend in turn........anyways

the point is he’s autistic b/c i say so

[spinnerprincess]

so, so here for like, I guess holistic is maybe is the word? holistic ways of therapy, or maybe more accurately, of finding and developing coping methods. 90% of the problems I have could be/should have been treated from a different angle entirely than I encountered with supposedly good programs. long thoughts (and ableism) ahead:

okay, so maybe first thing you do is teach her homework skills, you say. show her how to set timers and plan it out! that'll solve everything!!!! haha. yeah that kind of treatment did nothing actually. if anything it made it harder for me because here I was running up against a mixture of anxiety and frustration and being told "oh, you're doing it wrong, just do it THIS way and it'll get better" shockingly didn't help.

actually not only did it not help but the sessions were so ineffective at targeting and aiding my issues that I believed executive dysfunction was a misdiagnosis for years after lolololol

homework finally worked for me in college because I learned how to accurately assess how long homework would take me, both when intensely focused and when not focused, and allowed myself to plan in loose, vague but certain chunks of time. I learned that what worked for me was being able to say "I'm doing this now" and not have it interrupted by family or others, was being able to choose my workspace and background noise. nothing rigid. ever. freedom to work through it at any pace I needed.

some assignments still fell through but compared to my track record in high school it worked wonders for me. and I never repeated the experience of feeling paralyzing anxiety and shame so intense about having to turn an essay in a month late that I failed the class simply for not turning it in. which happened to me. for high school English. aka my future bachelor's degree.

so why did this work for me? how did I find what worked for me? well because I wasn't goddamn thinking about it for homework, which for years gave me pretty much constant horrible emotions. no, I stumbled into these methods by realizing that for some reason my brain didn't like certain forms of routine and did like others. plans made one way would stick and feel fantastic, other plans made me feel cramped and awful. sometimes spontaneous decisions were perfect and other times they caused me to freeze up and panic.

learning those distinctions and navigating them for other things - classes, my social life, hell, even just what video game I'm in the mood to play - eventually allowed me to distinguish the specific levels of fluidity vs routine structure that worked for me and helped me navigate my executive dysfunction - which I belatedly realized was what I was doing.

so this is what I mean by a holistic approach: you have a kid who's bad at doing her homework, probably because of executive function. newsflash: she knows it's important. she's not deliberately procrastinating. and she's pretty ashamed that despite being such a "smart kid" she struggles to do it.

so don't help her using goddamn homework! ask her about other things. tell her, it's okay if she struggles! she's different from other people, and you just want to help her get done not as much the homework, but anything.

maybe her room isn't clean, but she does LIKE it clean - how can she make cleaning her room work for her? what about afternoon activities? does her parents' tendency to call her out of her room randomly interrupt her ability to get things done - not just homework? does making sudden plans with friends work right away? no? what about with an hour's notice? etc.

I imagine a world where the support I needed went beyond the direct problem with the RESULT of my executive dysfunction, and actually helped me deal with the dang thing. that would have been... incredible. and I know it's possible! I know a thorough therapist or social worker or whatever else could do it. absolutely.

but homework support failed me. completely. do instead I failed freshman year classes, and then, threatened by parents with being permanently cut off from internet friends, spent the next year working myself into a near-suicidal depression just to keep up with neurotypical students and get the best grades of my high school career.

pro tip: I got good grades in college that didn't require me to sacrifice my mental health. while autistic and dealing with executive dysfunction. stunning I know. not every autistic individual safely can - or should - or needs to of course. my autism isn't everyone's autism for sure. neither is my executive dysfunction.

I just mean to demonstrate that treating kids for the symptom, I suppose, and not the cause, doesn't work. Like at all. And the difference between a failing student in high school and a very successful student in college - both of them me, and the high school student being the one receiving professional "treatment" - demonstrate that divide pretty nicely.

it's also almost like... they tried to treat only the problem that neurotypical society cares about... and not the invisible problems, the ones the neurodivergent person herself is dealing with, and would like help with, which greatly affects her ability to deal with the neurotypicals-should-do-this problem too... shocking. [/sarcasm]

Another example! Showing me smiley faces when I was a kid, to better learn reading emotions, didn't do shit for my ability to read them in other people because that came more from a mixture of mild face blindness and trouble connecting with my own emotions. if someone had helped me find ways to cope with those things, instead of targeting a frankly kind of ableist notion of "she's bad at normal conversation :////" then I might have found my coping methods for that sooner, too.

...small aside. how did they diagnose me for like 1/2 the supposed symptoms of autism but not. actually. figure out that I was autistic. (I guess because AFAB, is probably the answer,,, wonder if that one and only one therapist I actually liked would have figured it out, given more time.)

Top 13 Characters I Hate That Everyone Else Likes!

There are many characters we all hate and often times, we’re not the lone strangers when it comes to hating them. There are characters that are practically made to be hated on. Than there are characters in which everyone seems to enjoy but I for one can’t stand and this is it. From number 13 (which is basically grating) to number 1 down right I can’t fathom why anyone likes this character, here are my top list of characters I despise but everyone seems to like.

Rule’s for this list. I’m only listing characters that people really do like for whatever reason. I’m not gonna be listing characters that everyone does hate such as Angelica Pickles from Rugrats. I don’t care for that character either, but I’m pretty sure she was made to get under people’s skin. These are characters that people do enjoy, even if some were meant to be annoying or unlikable. I will be also including anime, western animation, comics and movies (Though these will be from animation, not live action.) and only from media I like. There is no point of putting characters from shows I don’t like.

Warning there will be some mild cussing. I try not to cuss so much in these. These are mainly characters from kid’s media, however, there is one from a comic that is aimed more for older audiences so just a heads up.

As usual if you like these characters, that’s perfectly fine. This is just my opinion and I hold nothing against anyone from liking or even loving these characters. So let’s get started!

13. Jeremy and Angie from Digimon Fusion

I’m gonna be brief with these two as they’re mainly annoying and kinda pointless, than actual hate. These two I just felt very little purpose to the team and shoot, they didn’t even get their own digimon until the near end. That and that horrible dance and singing sequence episode “Rumble in the Jungle Zone”, just made me annoyed at them even more...

12. Meilin from Cardcaptors/Cardcaptor Sakura

Again I just find her mostly pointless than I actually hate her. I would have put Sakura here because of her voice, but that’s because I only dislike Sakura in Japanese because of her voice. I like her as a character.  Meilin is just well...There. That’s it. You could have taken her out and there wouldn’t be much of a difference. I feel like she was just made to prove Syaoran isn’t a complete loner and actually has someone that does like him back home. 

11. Jeri from Digimon Tamers

What can I say about her? She creepily talks through a puppet on her hand, ironically at first acts like the boys are weird for constantly liking Digimon despite she talks through a puppet and of course getting into Digimon despite not wanting to at first. Gets depressed because her Digimon is killed, thus becomes a damsel puppet for the D-Reaper to get stronger and well did I mention she talks creepily through a falking puppet?! I don’t blame her for being depress and obviously, she probably suffers from something like autism and of course, the loss of her mother, but that doesn’t mean I have to like her. I found her again, pointless, creepy and annoying. She just became a thing for the Tamers to rescue when she should have just stayed a side character.

10. Toralei from Monster High

Out of all the characters in Monster High, Toralei has to be the weakest. She doesn’t change or go through any development. All she does is just cause trouble so something can happen within the series or in the movie. She’s self centered and a brat. Least with Cleo, she developed and matured and became more humble. The only change Toralei ever had was that she stopped having lackies around. I guess even they know that Toralei is not worth hanging around. 

They got rid of her in the reboot but just gained a character that’s just like her.

 : /

9. Bibury from Kira Kira Precure A La Mode

She’s got a creepy smile and her face always seems off. She’s also annoying and the fact she wants to basically falk a shadow creature thing is just disturbing. I get being down right loyal but it seems she’s got more feelings than being a loyal servant to Mr. Shadow thing...... 

8. Binkie and Steelbeak from Darkwing Duck

Putting both because they’re from the same series. I have another one like this. Let’s start with Binkie.

Binkie is blindly self centered in away. She often acts like her way of doing things is the best way and whenever she tries to help, it just makes things worse. Though, my hatred stems for the fact that Binkie tried to change Gosalyn into something she is not. A dainty little girl and worse, made Drake feel bad for not raising her as a “perfect little lady”. Yes, she basically follows the stereotype of a house wife and believes all young women should be pretty, sweet little things. I don’t mind when girls are sweet and motherly. I don’t approve of forcing people into being something they are not.

Steelbeak I hate because he’s one of the most annoying villains. That laugh and his voice just grate on me, not to mention his smug attitude. I get villains are kinda suppose to be like that, but when you combine that attitude with that voice and laugh....You get the most annoying things on the show next to Binkie!

 The only time I like him is in the comics and the Negaverse fanfics that feature him helping the Friendly Four out, but mainly because I can’t hear his voice and in the fanfictions of course, he’s not as pampas. That and I just didn’t find remotely interesting compared to the rest of Darkwing’s most colorful baddies. He just felt like a bond villain wannabe. 

7. “The Dark Magicians” aka “The Annoying Stooges” from Maho Tsukai Precure!

First off, they dare call themselves “Dark Magicians”. That alone is an insult to Dark Magician from Yugioh, shame on you Toei! 

Second, these guys are the worst villains in recent Precure series! They are incompetent, they can’t do anything right and worse, they’re the reason why Orba, the actual kickass villain died! The better, handsome and more redeemable villain died while these guys got revived and a second chance at life! These guys didn’t do anything remotely redeemable and finally, Sparda (the witch spider there) is a rip off of Arukenimon from Digimon! So she’s not even that original...She does the exact same things as Arukenimon does, just more incompetent!

6. Sailor Neptune and Uranus from Sailor Moon (Old Anime)

They would have been good if they weren’t bitches! Omg! In the manga, they were decent, in fact, I love Haruka/Uranus in the manga and Crystal anime! In the old anime, these two were just intolerable especially near the end of their debut season and Sailor Stars. They turned on Sailor Moon, they turned on their own companions and take their missions way too far.

At least in the manga and Crystal versions, they showed they wanted to be friends with the other sailors and they viewed Sailor Moon as their true princess. They valued the other scouts as equals. 

In the old anime, all that’s thrown out the window. “We’re better than you because we need to make the ultimate sacrifice. Something you kids can’t understand...” Despite the inners and Sailor Moon died like twice saving their world. Where were you two again when the moon kingdom was under attack, you stupid bitches?

5. Yakumo from Shinzo

Normally, I try to avoid hating characters from being weak and not able to fight, because let’s face it. That’s realistic. Especially if they’re motherly and kind, that’s always a spiritual strength to stay humble in the face of those that abuse you.

However, when your path for peace constantly makes you blind and gullible enough to trust others, not realizing what’s going on in your surroundings. Also to the point of scorning your friends for fighting, despite they’re constantly trying to make sure you don’t die on your very important mission for peace, yeah you deserve every single hate coming to you and that is what exactly Yakumo deserves!

All she ever does in the dang series is preach about peace and not realizing she lives in a hostile world where many  will take advantage of her, because supposedly she’s the last human being and they want her dead! There are episodes where she outright abandons her friends, to follow another person whom she just met, if they make her believe she will help them out best or if they convince her they can help her without the use of violence. Not to mention she is constantly a damsel in distress. I get being weak and not being able to fight, but at least learn to be more cautious and smart to avoid getting yourself in danger! Human beings are weak in general but there are ways with using your head to keep you safe.

With Yakumo, she doesn’t seem to have a brain in her head! She constantly gets herself in trouble and everytime she scorns Mushra, I want to slap her and tell her “Bitch, you’re living in a hostile world, everyone here wants to falking kill you! You better be grateful you teamed up with those who want to protect your sorry ass and don’t want to turn you into mince meat, because you’re not gonna bring peace to anyone if you’re dead! But maybe there will be peace when you’re dead because you would shut up!”

I HATED her so much that it was always hard to watch this fairly decent and creative series! I like Shinzo and many of the characters in it, as well as the designs and concepts of the creatures that inhabit in it. However, Yakumo just makes it insufferable so many times! Say what you will about Binka, her little follower but at least Binka, despite blindly following Yakumo, is a rather fun to watch character! Binka’s adventurous and can fend for herself. She can be a bit of brat, but that’s easily understandable for her age. Binka isn’t even a teenager so she’s gonna be a little bit bratty. That’s kids! Yakumo is just obnoxious and what Mushra/Mushrambo or anyone else sees in her, I will never know!

4. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast (Both movies)

No one is annoying as Gaston!

No one is overrated like Gaston!

No one is a disgusting, pompous pig like Gaston! 

You don’t have to be a feminist to see exactly what I mean!

Seriously, I’ve been sexually harassed in real life and this guy, while doesn’t do that, he comes close to it. The new movie makes him worse as he smiles smugly when he is turned down, thinking he can get the woman he wants. (Though, being Emma Watson is playing the lead in the live action film, honestly, he doesn’t know what the hell he’s getting himself into. So quite frankly he deserves her.) He treats women as a trophy and yeah, I get he’s suppose to be unlikable, a lot of people like him as a villain. Quite frankly, you can give me Myotismon or even Julio from Cross Ange. Least even when Julio attacks others with his fleet, he gets his coming in the end and is quite hilarious when things don’t go his way.

That and though the song is fun to parody as, it’s the weakest of the original film’s score. I always mute when his song comes on because I can’t honestly stand it really. Yea, in terms of revelation, Gaston at the time, was a game changer for villains. He was not powerful, not evil until he was pushed enough and it showed that anyone can be like Gaston (ironic to his song). However, that doesn’t stop me from hating him and being mind boggled at why people love this character. I never found him funny, engaging or interesting. He’s just annoying and I’m glad they tossed him to a fitting end!

3. Etemon from Digimon Digital Monsters/Adventure 01

Put two of my most hated things together (Elvis impersonators and monkeys) and you get the most annoying thing to date! He can’t sing, he’s cringy to watch especially in his mega form where he’s naked for some reasons...Why this character is liked is beyond me! There’s a reason why when some people mention good Digimon villain, Etemon is almost never one of them. His arc actually could have been edited to where Datamon was the real mastermind and done less painfully quicker.

When he comes back, there is absolutely no point to him! None! The other Digidestined don’t even face him! He just comes around, gets tortured by the more better Puppetmon and then gets killed by Saberleomon and Zudomon! He does nothing but kill Leomon! That’s it! Well done Bandai! We didn’t need a good character with a killer design in his evolution form! Just give us a metal monkey that can’t sing and is completely pointless!

Whenever the Digimon 1st series did a rerun, I would wait and not watch the episodes of Etemon’s arc. Thank the heavens, we got Myotismon after this guy! He was an improvement, especially since I had feared what Digimon would become after dealing with this weak, annoying pathetic digimon! I was just about to throw in the towel until finally Myotismon shows up and makes things interesting again!

2. Jimmy From Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

Got a question. Why the hell do people like this character!? He’s like Gaston if he was a wuss in the body anyway and Disney somehow allowed him to rape and murder people. That’s basically what Jimmy is and yet, so many fans of JTHM like this character. I have him in my fanfic but guess what? He’s constantly tortured and keeps losing in my fanfic, because he doesn’t deserve anything more than to be tortured and not redeemed for his crimes. 

Not to mention, but it was believed he was made by Jhonen Vasquez (the same dude who did Invader Zim) as away to tell fans that just wanted Johnny to be a mindless killer, to falk off! He is repulsive and deserved what Johnny did to him in the end. 

Yet in spite of that, people somehow still like him in the fandom and some even pair him up with Johnny, who hates him as much as I do. It’s sad because I like Eric, yes, Eric can be pompous too but he didn’t rape and stalk people. He killed one kid with his giant fang but that was played out for laughs and it’s actually unclear if that kid died. Eric is redeemable and can be likable if given proper development. Sadly, Eric gets kicked to the curb where no one seems to know him despite, showing up twice and even making a cameo in a Invader Zim episode, thus making more appearances than Jimmy. Jimmy doesn’t deserve to be redeemed ever and it still mind boggles me that people draw fan art of him, not getting his ass raped by a saw blade! 

Before I get to number one, let me give  quick dishonorable mentions.

1# Ciel/Cure Parfait from Kira Kira Precure A La Mode

Honestly, I hate her Precure design and think she can hit the Mary Sue levels at times, but Ciel as a character is at least humble and kind, so I don’t hate her.

2# Most of the characters of Cross Ange

Left them out because too many to count.

3# Characters from shows I hate such as Spongebob Square Pants, Jimmy Neutron, Fairy Oddparents, Teen Titans Go, CatDog and Adventure Time.

4# Angelica from Rugrats/All Grown Up (Who actually likes this character?)

Now...The number 1 character I hate but everyone else likes is...

1. Diaspro from Winx Club 

Ugh!!!!!! Where do I even begin with this freakin character! She’s like if Angelica grew up, gain powers and actually became a princess. All she ever does in the series is cause problems because she wants Sky! She wants to marry Sky and have him all to herself and you know, it’s clearly for lust and power purposes. Sky is a prince and marrying him, she gets to be queen with a “hot king”. If she actually cared for Sky, she would have just let them be in the series and move on. 

However, she doesn’t. Since season 1, all she does is be some love rival for Bloom. Some people say she deserves Sky more than Bloom. I beg to differ. She’s endangered lives, even the whole dimension just so she can have Sky to herself and it doesn’t matter who she hurts or nearly kills. She should be locked away in the Omega Dimension for her crimes! Not just banished but truly locked away there for all eternity! 

As said she does not care for Sky. She just wants him for power and as a trophy and you know she doesn’t truly love him, because she tries to manipulate him and take advantage over him losing his memories! Someone that truly knows and deserves love wouldn’t do such a thing. 

An excuse is “She’s lonely and might not have a good family” as some fans have speculate. Her family was devastated when they thought she was kidnapped! She’s a spoiled little rich girl! That’s it! And there are plenty of characters that are lonely and can be stuck up but develop more as a character. Stella for instance. Aisha! You got plenty of princesses that have been lonely and yet develop to be better!

Not to mention she doesn’t even try to change. Her last appearance was in season 6. 6 years and not bothering to change at all! Still wanting “her man” instead of growing the hell up and moving on like a grown woman should!

I had heard in the comics she’s quite humble, least not as crazy. I read the comic and that is true she’s not as bad, but still pretty petty and unlikable. Yeah, Bloom gets jealous of her but then she comes to Diaspro’s rescue showing Bloom can put differences a side in the end. Bloom does need to be less jealous and clingy, but at least Bloom’s not trying to kill people for not getting her way. Diaspro out right tries to murder her on several occasions in the show and her pettiness in the comic is just annoying . I get rejection is hard but you gotta move on some time. That’s life!

Not to mention, she is voiced by the ever stuck up, can’t get over herself Ariana Grande for most of the Nick’s seasons. I like Ariana’s singing but she’s like her character. She needs to falking get over herself because she’s got nothing on Celine Dion and Alicia Keys in terms of talent and personality.

Seriously, if you like her, I just don’t get it. Me, I personally would have thrown her in the Vortex of Flames in a heartbeat for what’s she’s done. There’s wanting a man and being spoiled. She takes spoiled and obsession to new heights. Every time I see her on Winx, I change the channel!

And that is why, she is my number one most hated character in animation and shoot, media in general!

Day 30-35

6-13-17 Day 30: I was told that I wasn't approved to leave a week before my sign off date for my cousins wedding and papas birthday. My mom already bought my plane ticket and everything. My mom emailed the lady who denied the request so hopefully something can be changed. We're technically over staffed so there's no reason for it to not get approved. I would only be leaving a week early, that's it. I also went to st Nicholas (the resort) and laid out. It was so relaxing. And it feels good to wake up and not sleep all day. After work me and Rain went to the crew mess to see what food they had. We started walking and saw something weird from the side door. So we kept walking and sitting there was an entire pig completely cooked and cut open. It was terrifying. And it was stuffed with all of this weird stuff. I completely lost my appetite. Tomorrow is day at sea so it's gonna be a long day. And of course I'm still awake at 3am. It's hard when I don't get off until 1ish and I'm wide awake. 6-14-17 Day 31: sea days fucking suck. I started at the slide. We have 3 with only a worker at 2 of them. Some random worker comes up to me and just hands me a walkie talkie and then walks away. Doesn't say a word. I was switching through all of the channels until I finally heard a police signal. They were looking for a red mustang and were saying all of these codes. I was so confused. Finally I found a worker and asked him which station I should be on. I then had a parent come up to me complaining about how there wasn't an attendant on the little slide. He said there were tons of kids getting hurts as well as one of his. He was not happy and was putting it out on me. I apologized and said I would let someone know. And at this time I didn't know which channel we were supposed to use for the walkie talkie. The communication here is terrible. And the language barrier obviously doesn't help. Some girl came up to me and said you're the first American worker I've met! Which is true. We have a steward that comes and makes our beds everyday and changes the towels. For the past 4 days he's come in and made my bed as well as given us fresh towels but has not touched rains bed. We never see our steward so we haven't been able to ask him. It's so confusing yet so humorous at the same time. Our room looks so nice and then rains bed is all over the place because he hasn't touched it! We have this thing where guests can submit feedback and if they mention our name we get a shout out. If we get 10 shout outs we get a day off. I got 2 last week and 1 this week. It seriously feels so good that I was the reason someone had an amazing vacation. And that these guests went out of their way to recognize me and my hard work. A mom came in today and gave me and Alina gifts. They were rocks she had painted herself. They were so cool. She was Israeli too 😋 I met a family in camp today. They have 9 kids and another one that passed away. Their mom home schools them because they're moving to Honduras in September for a mission trip and are living there for a year. The oldest is 21 and the youngest is 1. It's so cool to get to know these families. And when the kids hug us goodbye and the parents thank us and truly mean it, it's means the world to me. I also met another family with 9 kids. It's crazy to me. And the youngest 2 were twins and were so cute yet so annoying. I miss my kids back at home so much. Typical kids are so annoying and have so much drama. My kids at home are exciting and bring something new to me everyday. There's actually a huge amount of kids who come on the boat who have autism but I don't always have them in my age group. Right now it's 3:03am. I went to crew bar after work. I met a new girl a few days ago from Tennessee. Her name is Candace. She sings in one of the bands. She's super nice and I love having another American around. Because she's a singer she has her own room. Today we got a list of boats and the positions they need. Rain and Alina are signing on to the breeze in September and October. That boat has a circle c position starting in November which is a huge possibility for me. I need to request it tomorrow before it's too late. I need to find somewhere to bring my laptop and eat where there's good wifi. Thankfully packages will come tomorrow too. I haven't been taking a few of my medications the past few days because I ran out and they didn't get here in time. Which is probably why I had a bladder spasm today and yesterday. NOT GOOD. Also got some paperwork today that said MR again. I've corrected them so many times and they can't get it right. Kinda like the Filipinos (I finally spelled it right) who don't know the difference between he and she and her and him. The notes they write to the parents are comical. "You child great. She love play with toy. The boy make a friend and has polite." No joke that's what they say. There's also tons of mistakes in the schedules we give out to guests which is super frustrating. This week my name wasn't on the schedules given out to the parents which sucks because they reference those when it comes to writing reviews. There was names of 2 girls who I've never even met...aka they were on the boat 2 months ago. If I see a mistake I just circle it and put it on our supervisors desk so she doesn't know who did it. Oops 😶 I want it to be tomorrow so I can sleep and get stuff done! I also forgot to write about what happened this morning. In the Kiera of my dead sleep I hear loud weird music. I sit up and realize it's coming from the announcements. The bridge (where the captains are) accidentally turned their awful music on and everyone who was in their cabins could hear it. It went on for a good hour as I smashed my head between the pillows. It was comical at first and then I was just flat out furious. 6-15-17 Day 32: today I got off in Long Beach by myself. I took an uber to a local outlet mall where I sat at Starbucks and got some stuff done with the wifi. We were given a list of positions needing to be filled for the rest of the year so I went and did some research on all the boats. I also set up my account on how to get paid from here. They give us a debit card that the money goes on. We can do direct deposit but it wasn't working for me :/ I also sent my dad a Father's Day gift card online. Then I went across the street and ate at California pizza kitchen. I got to face time my mom and update my phone and stuff. Then I learned there's a bus that I could've used for free that goes from the terminal to the outlets. Poop. I didn't know how to use it though so I just took an uber back too. I asked my supervisor about requesting a boat and she said I can't do it until I have my evaluation. When I asked her when my evaluation would be she said "before you leave" well no fucking shit before I leave. I told her the position I want is going to be taken by then and she didn't respond and just kept looking at her computer. She's such a shitty person it's like humorous. We have this other lady we work with who acts like she's our supervisor and she's not. I've literally never even had a conversation with her yet she thinks she can boss us all around. She confronted me about how I turned off the tv and how I didn't do it right. There was a sign saying to not turn off with a certain button and that's the one I turned it off with. Obviously if I would've saw it I wouldn't have touched it. It was a mistake lady...speaking of mistakes, so we are all required to write notes to the parents about their kids and how they've been doing (it's meant to help us get good ratings) well today I decided to read some and I was totally taken aback. These people do not know how to speak English. I felt embarrassed giving them out to the parents because the letters make absolutely no sense at all. It's so awkward. And one of the ladies wrote all the same things on all the cards and put a line where a name would be. Once she met the kids she went in and wrote their names on the line. Like obviously a parent is gonna know what that means, it means everyone is being given the same card and they're just going in and writing all the names down which isn't the point of them. Went to go pick up my packages today and my medication still isn't here. So I haven't been on 3 of my medications since Sunday. And my mom called Sunday and they said they would over night them here which obviously didn't happen. None of them are super serious but I've definitely been getting bladder spasms now that I'm off one of the medications. I'm also off my thyroid medicine as well as my medication that helps me stay awake during the day. I'll have to call my mom tomorrow and tell her but there's nothing she can do because we can't get mail until Sunday. 6-17-17 Day 34: I had no time to post yesterday. I've been so exhausted I sleep every chance I can. Even when I need to eat a meal or shower I've just been sleeping instead because it's so needed. There's been so much unnecessary drama around here it's crazy. Yesterday we had a mom come in asking to talk to "Ms Candy" because supposedly she called her daughter big and chubby. We apologized to the mom on behalf of ms candy (she wasn't there anymore) and explained to her that there's a language barrier and was probably the main reason behind the comment. The mom was understanding but that's hard for a 10 year old girl to hear. I can't believe our playlist cast is leaving tomorrow. I've gotten to know all 8 of them so well. It's very bittersweet. I'm excited to see how the new cast performs though. It's hard to imagine that anyone could possibly do any better than what we have now. I met a family yesterday who has 5 biological children and fosters 3 on top of that. And their youngest son has autism, so of course I'm already obsessed with them. It's crazy how many kids come on the boat who have autism. I love being able to interact with them. Everyone always asks me advice on how to work with them and make it a great experience for the child. I seriously talk about my kids back at home so much I feel like everyone is so sick of hearing it lol. I saw a shit ton of dolphins today. They were right next to the boat. I might get off tomorrow and go to the beach at Long Beach. I HAVE to get my hair cut it's like humorous how awful it looks. It's like I'm a human paintbrush and my hair is the bristles. Rain did my laundry with hers :p so blessed lol. I went to the candy store today on board. They have the cutest stuff there. They're starting to put them on all the ships. We have some people from the office on the boat. They told us that they have 4 new boats that they're working on. They said eventually they're gonna have a boat that sails to china. I'm actually really content on work at the moment. Yeah I'm really tired but moving in with Rain has helped a lot. It feels good to have someone I can go do stuff with and I conveniently always know where she is. There's obviously a lot of negatives about my work environment and my supervisor who has a stick up her fucking ass, but there's so many positives that come with it as well that make this experience so much fun. I worked night owls this whole week (10pm-1am) last pickup time is 1245 and the parents are told this every time. Yet we still are calling parents at 1 having to remind them that their children are in our care and they need to come pick them up. It's so irresponsible. And half the time the parents are wasted. Parents are also allowed to check out a phone but just return them before 10pm on the last night which never happens either. Tonight one of the late parents came in and literally just threw his trash on the ground. These poor kids are passed the fuck out, so tired, and their parents leave them there all night. I'm off now and I'm eating at crew mess alone. Which I'm okay with besides the stares. I've had a headache all day though so I needed to eat something. We have to be at a meeting tomorrow at 930 to meet with some people from the office. I seriously need to sleep in so badly but not sure when that's gonna happen. I start in circle c tomorrow. It's so weird switching back and forth. And being alone in there is hard as well. Especially during high count which is now. 6-19-17 Day 35: I finally got my haircut yesterday. Winslow picked me up. Got about 3-4 inches off. The lady charged me way too much though and she didn't even wash my hair. I was so mad. I didn't question it though because I was in a rush ugh. I started my week at circle c yesterday. No joke had 30-40 kids in there at one time it was not okay. One of the moms asked if I was alone and when I said yes I could tell she was worried for me. She told me I was doing a good job though which was nice. A lot of the kids think they're too cool for my club and it makes me so mad. Like then don't come if you think it's too babyish. I got to sleep in today 🙌🏾 I had a training at 130 that only lasted 30 minutes. Such a waste of time I could've been sleeping! It was an environment training. They train us on the weirdest things. Yesterday 2 of the people from the office came. They're the ones that hired me. I talked to one of them about not getting approved to leave for my cousins wedding and she's going to look more into it for me. She thinks the week I'm requesting to leave we'll actually be overstaffed because of an event on board so it may work in my favor! We got to talk to one of the ladies about issues we're having. She said Circle c is going to be getting an iPad that kids can request songs on. Right now we're using cds...and the most recent is from 2015. The office thought we had one this entire time...she was also confused as to why I was only here for 3 months and why I'm switching on and off from camp to circle c every week. Seems like the office doesn't know their shit. Even today when I signed in at my training it said my position was club O2. And the other day one of my papers said MR. So frustrating. It's 230 and I have work at 4. I'm gonna take a nap because I have nothing else to do and I'm tired af. Tonight I got to see the rock show with the new cast. Not. Good. They don't even come close to our old cast. It kinda made me so sad. People come and go here so fast it sucks. I have 2 brothers in my club. One of them has autism and the other one supposedly doesn't. The one who "doesn't" is out of control. He is constantly in my space and not listening to me. He asked me for just dance 16. I told him we didn't have it. He asked me at least 4 more times why we don't have it and if we have it. I told him no and then he asks if he can look in the office just to make sure we don't have it. I told him no and that they are not allowed in there in which he walked right in. There's also been numerous times where I've been talking to a parent and he'll come over and interrupt because he wants me to do something. I don't have a problem with having him in the club but I wish his parents would use a little common sense and supervise their kids more. They come and go as they please which is okay, but the mom never knows where they are and doesn't understand how their behavior towards me and the other kids is hard on everyone. At first the boys registered themselves so we didn't even know that one of them had a disability. On top of that I have tons of kids this cruise which makes it hard and I'm getting sick.
