Chelonia and it's parallel to the Van der Linde's.

(ps. this is a hot take.)

On the surface, Chelonian's and the Van der Linde gang are two completely different contrasting ideologies: Chelonia is a religion that is a "menace to all (our) liberty" because it goes against the usual Christianity and "Dutch's Boys" are "infamous killers". That's all in the headlines, the papers, the view most of society will interpretate these groups like.

They recruit people almost identically. Actively recruiting the young and feeble men and feeding mush into their brains to devotion. Your trust is in this formation and you'll die for this formation happily as it's expected of you. The greater of the two "evils", because turning your back against the pact is turning your back against freedom. Or, so is believed.

Both Helgerson and Dutch also preach similar ideologies.

Anders Helgerson is the messiah to Chelonia. He idolises the belief that this wisdom of the cult and the master will shine the dark out of mans heart, only if you listen in to this and this alone. That there is a land there for them, Chelonia, that you will only reach if you have faith.

Dutch is no different come to the games events. He preaches Evelyn Millers words, writes his own speeches he has no doubted-ly preached time and time again, always insisting on the same faith that's kept them stringed together. He also says that there's a land out there for them, Tahiti.

Jamie and Arthur are also a nice parallel to note too. Buried so head deep into this life that begun as being so open to these profound beliefs probably unimaginably good to prior lifestyles. Any outside "threat" attempting to convince them otherwise has them instinctively defending this belief, an unreliable narrative, but when they come face-to-face with the reality of their situations (i.e.: Dutch's revenge plan on Bronte contrasting "revenge is a fools game" & The initial shock Jamie goes through after pointing a gun at himself) doubt seeps through. This fog of false clarity they've both been under begins to dim.

I'll talk about their parallels at a later time, but it really outstands me how they both yearn for the same things. A better future. Mary, too.

Corcovado National Park, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, is accessible only by boat or aircraft. Early one morning, Alejandro heard there were bull sharks near the beach and set off to look for them. It wasn't long before he heard a very loud noise - splashing and a hammering sound. Out of the sea came a huge crocodile with a large green turtle in its mouth, which was flapping its flippers and opening and closing its eyes. 'With a fast movement, the crocodile held the turtle by its flipper,' says Alejandro, 'and then, with a flick of its jaws, grabbed the still-living reptile by its head. I willed the crocodile to be still for a moment, while I struggled to keep the camera steady.' He managed just one shot before the crocodile headed for the sea and the mouth of the river, clutching its strange prey.

津波に遭っても生き抜いた生物の貴重なデータが一覧にしてありました。このようなわずかな種類だけだったとのこと。オウムガイとかカブトガニとかさすがだ…。(アオウミガメは5年後にここに戻ってきて、クサガメは震災の7年後に亡くなられたとのこと)

強く強く生き抜いた彼らと、混乱の中瓦礫の中彼らを救い出し、青森に運んでくれた職員のかた、守り育ててくれた青森のかたがたを心から尊敬します。

This aquarium suffered significant damage during the 2011 East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. They were hit by a massive tsunami, and only 8 species, a total of 21 individuals, survived, including Nautilus, horseshoe crabs, shrimps, and sea turtles. I have deep respect for them and the staff who protected them.
