#Insane BS and Bloodshed

Walker Season 4 Deleted Scenes

4x01: The Quiet

Stella enters her dorm room and turns the light on. She locks the door before turning around. Her steps slow as she sees the window. The glass is blank and shows a clear night outside, with the blinds up and the curtains pulled aside. Stella drops her purse on the floor, quickly walks up to the window, and closes the blinds and the curtains. She then walks over to the bed and pulls her boots off, leaving them on the floor as she gets into bed still fully dressed. She reaches for a round fluffy pillow and holds it to her chest as she lays there silently. Ambient sounds from the dorm hallways can be heard throughout the scene.

4x04: Insane B.S. and Bloodshed

We pan up from an abandoned drink on the bar of the Side Step to see Sadie staring in through a clean spot on a cloudy window. We hear a robotic voice telling her to leave a message at the beep. She then leaves this message:

Hey, Ger. Um, I thought I'd catch you closing up the Side Step.... But, uh, I just wanted to say bye. Some tour stuff came up. Big opportunity! Um, I wish I coulda stayed longer, but I'll try and call from the road. Um.... Keep an eye on Stella for me, okay? Thanks. Alright, bye Ger.

As she talks, we hear some real regret in her voice and it's clear she's not telling the truth.

While she was on the phone, a car pulled up, illuminating her with headlights. Someone honked the horn, prompting her to quickly end her message. She rolls her eyes and grabs the backpack she left on one of the outdoor tables and heads for the car that's parked off screen.

4x10: End This Way

A light gray truck slowly drives down a road in a sunny area. As the truck pulls to a stop in some shade, we see Cassie is driving with David Luna in the passenger seat. After stopping the truck, Cassie pulls up her phone and starts poking at the screen. She says that the gazebo they're looking for is supposed to be on the north side of the lake, but she can see one much closer. As she confusedly looks for more information, she complains about the low quality of the map on the website she's looking at. David suggests they just go check it out and starts getting out of the truck. As he rounds the back, Cassie follows him out.

4x13: See You Sometime

Scene 1:

We see Stella and Liam walking alongside a fenced in field. Liam is looking over the horses and Stella is talking about her confusion over college and everyone expecting her to know what she wants to do with her life, echoing her earlier plotline about being unsure what she wanted with her life.

But, now that everything is done with the hunt for the necklace, she's remembered that, in her heart, all she wants to do is help people. She's not entirely sure what that looks like yet but lists psychology, sociology, and criminal justice as options she's looking at. Liam teases her and calls her a "regular Cordi Jr.", making them both laugh.

Stella then shifts the conversation to the rescue and suggests getting help for the rescue. She starts to explain that she's been collecting resumes but she needs help when Liam interrupts her and says they might not need more help, as he's recently received an offer to buy the horse rescue and he thinks they should take it. They've got it off it's feet now and it helped them both a lot, but it's clear that they're both at a point where they have different priorities. It's time to let it go. Stella asks if Liam is serious and Liam confirms that he is, but that he won't go through with it unless she's okay with it.

"So, what do you say? Should we move on to greener pastures?" he asks, holding a hand out to shake. Stella smiles and shakes, agreeing that it's something to consider.

Scene 2:

Sadie closes the trunk of her van and turns around. The camera pans over to show the farmhouse as August exits the front door. August apologizes and says he just got her text and starts to explain that his graduation party is actually at the main house, but stops talking as he sees what Sadie has.

The camera jumps to show her standing next to a pile of music stuff- August's old things he sold earlier in the season. She presents it all proudly.

August, in disbelief, asks if she really got all his old stuff back and Sadie says she did. She says he shouldn't give up on music. August, still shocked, agrees, saying he was thinking the same thing. He has a lot of decisions to make about school and he was actually thinking of waiting a year to make some money, work on photography and now his music.

Sadie then says she might need a roadie. August, in a different stage of disbelief, asks if she's serious. She nods, saying it's best to make music with people you trust, and that after everything that's happened this year, she trusts him. She says his family.

August thanks her and they hug. He then awkwardly brings up that they're not technically family in that sense and she tells him not to ruin the moment. Besides, they both have places to be. They both laugh and start carrying August's things back inside, where they belong.

Scene 3:

At Ranger HQ. Cordell, in his civilian clothes, enters the bullpen and interrupts Trey at his desk. They fistbump in greeting and refer to each other as "partner".

Trey asks if Cordell is ready to hit the ground running and Cordell explains that while he is excited for everything that's coming next, he's just put in for a leave of absence.

Trey, surprised, asks if everything is okay. Cordell says that it is, or that, at least, he's trying to make it that way. Trey nods in understanding and says he's not going anywhere.

Cordell then notices a sticky note Trey is holding and asks what it's about. Trey hesitates and explains that an old army buddy of his named "Jenny" has been repeatedly calling him and he needs to figure out what it's about. This old buddy of his is the kind of person that will just show up and "it might be a good time, but it's never good news". Cordell laughs and says he knows the type.

Trey then moves the conversation along, saying it's not Cordell's problem and that he should go have a good time with his family, wherever they're going. They laugh and hug as Cordell leaves and he says he'll "see you soon, partner". As Cordell leaves, Trey sits down with a smile on his face.

That whole conversation between Cassie and Luna right there by everybody was very reminiscent of Sam and Dean thinking nobody could hear them, lol.

HEY GUYS!!

"SPN Parallel, There Frontal Lobe Isn't Developed & SHIT HIT THE FAN!!"

[nikethestatue]

so confused how people see Az as an entitled fuckboi but still ship him with their beloved Gwyn when:

1. This man pined over Mor for 500 YEARS. Not days, hours - YEARS. He is 540 and pined over Mor for 500 of those??? Insane.

2. The reason he moved on from Mor was Elain - this is not debatable, that is canon text. Cassian (you know, lord of bloodshed, the MOST reliable narrator, Velaris fashion police) even notes Az has moved on. Nesta knows WHY Az has moved on. Az clearly shows he is at the very least, attracted to elain (obsessed, head over wings, but potato potahto I guess)

3. This man was tortured by his family. He does not have good self esteem. He already thinks his position as spymaster/lead torturer is bad, he is ashamed of his own hands and struggles with feeling worthy on a GOOD DAY. He knows it’s wrong to have feelings for Elain (bc she has a mate and he was ordered to stay away from her) but HE STILL HAS them. He can’t help it, he loves her?? Is that not the most heart wrenching thing youve heard?? How is he entitled when man himself doesn’t feel worthy of even touching her NECK???

Like how can you read that bonus chapter and say “yeah Az is an incel he is a fuckboi only lusting after elain” like this dude is clearly torturing himself with the feelings he has for her ?? How is he only after sex?? Do we want to whip out Cassian & Rhys’s POVs about their mates? The same thoughts.

It boggles my mind, truly, to attempt to understand gwynriel. elucien - I don’t ship but I do understand. They have been declared mates…that’s about all they have but at least that is there.

How can they be out here saying Az is evil incel fuckboi but then ship him with Gwyn… a priestess that was SA-ed and going on her own healing journey?? It makes no sense.

“Oh but elain needs light and azriel is just darkness she won’t be able to understand him” idk seems like it’s been said multiple times they understand each other without a single word.

“Elain can’t handle his darkness, Gwyn will heal him” … heal him how exactly? Through her laughter and song and pliable bones? Like she is not a therapist. She is bad with secrets (canonically). She can’t even leave the library. So what makes HER capable of handling “azriels darkness” like ?? What is she going to do someone please genuinely tell me? I would ask a gwynriel but they will get angry and tell me I’m a monster against SA victims or some bs.

Also what the actual hell is this so called “azriel’s darkness”?? Why we doing this “I can fix him” mentality in 2024? Sure man has got self image insecurity issues but it’s something HE has to fix … himself…

All I ever see from gwynriels is the craziest shit they are trying to pass off as theory because they literally hate elain!!? They ship elucien… only so it gets elain away from NC

They send her to spring court to be with tamlin and the flowers. They send her to day court to be with sunlight(? Even tho the night court has… sun…?)

They say she will turn evil. They say it’s only lust between them. They say she looks bad in black (this girl is described as having beauty to bring kings to their knees… I don’t think people care that she allegedly cannot pull off black)

They hate elain because elain is beautiful and kind and sweet and NOT a warrior and they don’t connect with her. And the loooooove azriel bc honestly a man who doesn’t say anything is just easier to shape to someone’s own fantasies. And they looove Gwyn because she is pretty enough (not devastating beauty) and vague enough that they can self insert.

And elain is also still a character in development. But the few things we know about her were apparently dammning enough that they have written her off completely.

But the fact is she’s the only character relevant enough and has shown an interest in azriel that is reciprocated. So why are we even fighting still? It’s been over since SJM wrote “death and the lovely fawn” even after she made her mated to Lucien.

He is only an incel fuckboi when it comes to Elain though. It's never with anyone else. With Gwyn he is a gallant hero.

Yeah, I never understood what qualifications Gwyn possesses to 'heal Azriel's trauma' especially considering her extremely, EXTREMELY limited life experience. She is 28, acting like she is 13, because she's lived in a closed environment all her life, had her basic chores, but everything was taken care of for her. Then she moved to the Library, where she is in the same situation. Not denying *her* trauma, but she barely dealt with it herself, and until Nesta, didn't do a very good job at it either. She only just began functioning, though still unable to join society and doesn't want to leave the Library. Even to go to a wedding! And this is the person they think is going to 'heal' Azriel's darkness? Can 500 year old 'darkness' even be healed? I feel like Azriel is what he is and I don't think there is much 'healing' that's going to happen. He is essentially Lorcan--he'd thaw for his girl, he'll be friends with Cassian and Nesta, and that's pretty much it. And the girl who'll accept him, who already accepted him is Elain.

Also, GA girlies need to remember that it's not a woman's job to 'fix' a guy and his 'darkness'. It's Azriel's responsibility, if he so desires.

Will never hear an Elriel talking about Elain 'healing Azriel's darkness'. Homeboy better take care of that himself because there is Dusk Court shit to take care of.

I'm sooo excited for this ep!! I mean, Justin alone would already have me hyped lol. But the Jackal storyline coming to a head? YES PLEASE.

Between the promo and the photos, it all looks very intense. Add in Justin and I can't imagine not loving the episode!

[the-gayest-sky-kid]

no actually i think its insanely funny that childe the guy who fell into the abyss and is constantly itching for a fight is the Most Normal Guy in Zapolyarny Palace. not only is he like the only one with a normal lifespan but he's also the most sane. Childe. is the most sane guy in the fatui harbingers. mr snow is the perfect backdrop for bloodshed.

dottores probably got like 24 clones of himself (including the omega build, and if he did the whole greek alphabet) that he wasn't afraid to just kill out of nowhere and also does frequent human experimentation. signora had been alive for over 500 years and was also a witch. nobody likes scara for good reason and he's been alive for centuries and is a puppet. arlecchino runs the house of the hearth. pulcinella has fucking elf ears. sandrone has her ruin guard puppet bs. capitano is apparently extremely strong. columbina is fucking creepy and has wings coming out of her head. pantalone is rich and looks like baizhu which is creepy. pierro is literally from khaenri'ah.

childe is literally the most normal guy out of this group which is astounding

[hypnoticcastiel]

i feel very conflicted, idk why. i reblogged stuff that is very fresh and new for years during my hyper-active years. but hotd s2 is a fine wine, not an orange juice bottle. so i try to watch only 1 ep per week. and digest, fully comprehend wtf i just watched in that ep.

while an improvement compared to s1, s2 still couldn't fully convince me but the 4th ep is finally a full spectrum of the insanity during times of war. if you haven't watched the ep yet, stay away from such reblogs and spoilers. you want to enjoy the fine wine...!

the good:

larger scale warfare than what we usually get thus far

a real sense of dread in the idiotic big picture politics bc all the strategy blahblah turns into fields of blood for the low rank cannon fodder people

the family dynamics on both sides (i learned team-green and team-black) show cracks or the typical hand-of-fate circumstances that can reshape history, the real and the fictional

rhaenis what's her title is finally shining as her own commander and not just a tool or advisor to others

in a world (even on her noble rank whatever) dominated by male warriors she's not only capable but also willing to go through with a concept or what she wanted to achieve even if she personally pays the highest cost. usually the top ranking ladies and gents would not risk their lives in petty skirmish or winning a piece of land from the enemy while arrows and fire is raining down.

the bad:

the fact that dragons are a bit or very different in this fantasy world than in some other... they can only be felt sorry for. yes, even the ones of the evil empire call it what you want or those of brash arrogant kiddy emperors and none of them deserves the fatal bs their riders put them through.

Ameon or what's his name (man, i thought these names would be european style but i just hate them) is not well enough defined character yet. but we are at 2x04... so wtf do writers do with him. if they make sooo strong and skilled, he outshines all of team green and the confrontations get boring. he needs to be used with care, no joke, he + his brainless dragon tool are basically the HULK of the show.

the dragon bloodshed can only happen bc the majestic creatures are created as simple tools in this universe. why no nuances??? why not having some dragons obey and some disobey SOME orders. would'nt that make plotlines with warfare even more complex. but ok, the season has some more eps for me in store. no final judgment yet. speaking of final judgment, that imperial guard leader dude is a bag of grievances and bs and macho toxic problems. it's not that he isnt allowed to have hatred towards rhanerya but he goes beyond that and thinks he's somebody better bc he was a male 'victim' of female noble mishandling. he seems to forget that most of the men use women in westeros to much worse extent than rahaenyra ever used him for her needs.

i need a bit better colors. i dont ask for disco glitter costumes or dragon scales with neon coating shimmering in the sun, but a bit more color-life in the production.

[cookie-waffle]

Conservative Americans really are a special breed of insanity. I see other countries. some of which are often considered highly conservative and with a lower quality of life for people in certain marginalized groups (lgbt, women, non-religious, etc)

And yet…. a lot of them are making huge efforts to help Palestine, despite being conservative. Meanwhile, conservatives in america continuously request more bloodshed and horror. Idk if it’s the desensitization of violence in the news, conspiracy theory bs, or boomers playing with lead paint toys as kids. But there is SOMETHING deeply wrong and disturbing about the psychology of American conservatives today.

As an ex Muslim who was insanely devoted. let me tell my story . via /r/atheism

Submitted October 19, 2020 at 11:03AM by PM-ME-BOOBIES-PL (Via reddit https://ift.tt/2T6FM9L) As an ex Muslim who was insanely devoted. let me tell my story .

Sorry for bad English , English isn’t my first language and for formatting (am on mobile) (and extremely long post)

As the title suggests , I’m an ex Muslim . I live in an Arab Muslim country (Egypt) and have read the Quran many times and even memorised a lot of verses in it . I used to pray five times and pray the sunna. A lot people say that Muslims should leave Islam when they read the Quran because there are 100 verses that say that we should kill infidels and disbelievers , there are some verses that say that in the context of war , but the problem is that the difference in culture between the west and the Arab world makes a huge difference in the morality of the people , for example , Islam hates LGBTQ+ people and it never tries to hide it , but the difference in culture makes it so Muslims don’t see anything bad in hating them .

I started to doubt Islam when I finally left my echo chamber and started to read online on the causes of LGBTQ+ and if it is really a choice or not.( spoilers alert, it isn’t). I found it really fucked up that god would make people this way them punish them for being the human that he created , but me being a Muslim my whole life , I couldn’t just disbelieve , i was so far in my belief I couldn’t just stop believing . Then I read online that Islam is the first feminist religion. So I started reading about it online ( spoilers alert , it isn’t) These people who claim that Islam is a feminist religion never read the Quran because here in the Middle East , where every Muslim grows reading the Quran and finishing it in Ramadan , believes that men are inherently better than women ; for example, in a court where debt is the main issue , Quran says in 2:282 that a mans testimony is worth two women . Most Muslims will say that men are more honest and that women are more emotional , and in another verse in surat al nisaa verse 34 , it literally says that men are better than women and should hold authority over them .

After I started reading about all these dumb rules , I started doubting a little , but I thought , hey we always like to say that Islam is for all times from the age of the prophet till the end of the world , so I started reading on the way the Islamic system works because if it is for all times then logically that system will be better than anything we use today (spoilers alert , it’s not) . First of all , it’s extremely violent , since Islam came at a very old barbaric time , the laws are very very violent, for example, you have premarital sex? You get stoned to death or in some other cases you get whipped a 100 times . You steal ? You get your hand cut off . You fucking said that a person is bad or a trader is a scammer ? You get whipped 80 times. You gay ? You die . I found all these laws to be very outdated , and the inherent problem with islam and most religions, is that a system needs some flexibility. A judge should be able to rule on your punishment depending on multiple factors , not just if you did it , you’re fucked . After all of that , I decided to look about how a government should be handled . Basically the leader gets all the power in the nation. The Islamic government works as a leader and his advisers. The people get no say on what happens which essentially is an insult to modern democracy,some people in Egypt even say that democracy is this evil thing .

After all of this , I decided to read on how the prophet lived his life , the first thing I thought about was “A prophet from god would surely practice what he preaches right ?” Nope . The prophet married nine times but ordered people to marry 4 times max , also one of the marriages (Aisha) she was 9 when he bed her which is insanely fucked up, but Muslims try to justify it saying “back then they aged faster” which number 1 has no scientific basis , number 2 there’s literally hadeeths by Aisha in sahih Bukhary where she was playing with toys with her friends .

After all of this I was mostly convinced that Islam is mostly bs , but I thought to look at the Muslim community from my new unbiased look. First of all , Muslims are the most hypocritical people you’ll ever meet . They justify killing apostates by saying “they spread fitna “ fitna is essentially spreading doubt and false ideas among the Muslim people , but they find it okay to talk about Islam to Christians and atheists , aren’t you also spreading fitna to these religious communities? , then they also justify all the wars and bloodshed by saying that in the times of the prophets and the sahaba, to spread Islam they’d send a messenger to Neighbouring countries but these countries would kill the messengers so this calls for war , but they fail to realise that these messengers are also causing fitna to these other countries .

Me finally saying this feels so good , I’ve felt the need to get this off my chest , but I can’t because here In Egypt I’d get shamed , imprisoned and most probably killed if anyone found out .

In conclusion , stop delivering the message of god and start preaching for love and tolerance . I feel much better now that I don’t hate LGBTQ+ and I actually started having them as friends online whom I love

TLDR , Islam is bullshit and feel free to ask me any questions about Islam or Arabian culture in general.

Could you eleborate on your tags in this post? I really like your metas! If it's not too much trouble! /post/163702439009/do-you-think-flint-enjoys-violence

Hi anon! Well, I’m going to try and keep this short, but it’s about Flint. SO. :D 

I think @sidewaystime did a wonderful job of talking about how Flint’s relationship to violence is a complicated thing. What I was responding to was a post series Discourse that seems to be divided at the moment along whether Silver was ‘right’ to do what he did to stop the war or not. A lot of the argument for the “yes” side of that argument seems to rely on painting Flint as someone whose anger was entirely (a) born of reasons personal and (b) completely out of control. 

So let’s address (b) first. There are examples where Flint’s rage *is * out of control: Charlestown comes to mind, the Maria Aleyne, post Charlestown murders. In fact, post Charlestown and until the Maroon Island [i.e. until he resolves something within himself with the help of Dream-Miranda] is the closest I see him as being completely batshit insane with rage/sorrow/despair. But as I see it: at no point during this time is he unaware of the consequences of what he is feeling/ doing either to himself or other people. I bring this up because I think there’s a tendency to read Flint as unaware of his own True Motives. Some of this comes from the Miranda/Flint fight in 2.05  What she says (yells!), is that he hasn’t been “clear” about his goals TO OTHER PEOPLE. A corollary to that is that he hasn’t been open about what led him to this goal. And this is absolutely true. Flint discusses his grand plans with exactly two people before that- Gates and Eleanor, both of whom remain unaware of the tragedy that drove Flint to Nassau. Miranda is saying that without communication he is closing every door to achieving his goal except the one that leads to more violence. And this is where she says -paraphrased- [you are fighting for the sake of fighting, because that’s the only state you can function in]. And I think people have taken that and run with it as though it was an Eternal, Unchanging Truth about James. Although the very next thing that happens in the plot is that he listens to her and chooses a less violent path. 

And that’s the kind of thing I feel gets missed out: all the times he doesn’t choose a violent option even though it exists. Btw, that is a thing he has done from the first episode. Yes, he kills Singleton brutally, but hey, remember the literal first dialogue that we hear from him in the entire series is him putting a stop to his crew murdering someone? He listens to Eleanor, agrees to a dialogue with Vane in S2. He listens to Miranda about Ashe. Eleanor, again, in S4, in the middle of the freaking war, he allows himself to be taken hostage if it means there may be a chance to win the war without excessive bloodshed, even when that decision is hotly contested by his own people. 

This is not a man who is incapable of not choosing violence, it is a man who deploys violence strategically. This is a man capable of swallowing his pride and anger, if he sees a way to achieve his goal without violence. Is the Peaceful Way his first instinct? NO. But is he incapable of taking that path? NO. 

Here’s Flint in 3.10 telling his back story to Silver: 

Flint: Madness is such a hard thing to define, which makes it such an easy label to affix to one’s enemies. Once it had been applied to Thomas, once our relationship had been exposed, defiled, scandalized… everything ended. There were times that I was persuaded to sue for peace since then, but that was the day that on some level I knew… that England was broken… and that sooner or later a good man must resist it. [emphasis mine]

Ok, let’s back up a bit. Earlier in S3, Flint has a chance to end a war before it even starts, an offer he absolutely refuses.  Why does he? 

3.07, On the beach with Governor Rogers: 

Woodes Rogers: Lord Thomas Hamilton. I didn’t know him, but I understand you did. Miss Guthrie tells me you were part of the first effort with Lord Hamilton and Peter Ashe to introduce the pardon to Nassau. As with most things, the men first into the breach bear the heaviest casualties. But in the hindsight of victory, they were the ones whose sacrifice made it possible. Without Lord Hamilton’s efforts, your efforts, it’s likely I wouldn’t have been successful in my efforts to finally secure the pardon. All I have done here is finish what you began. I am now what you were then. And without you, there would be no me.

Flint: Clever.

Woodes Rogers:  Thank you.

Flint: So that’s what this is. We’re all reasonable men, we all want the same thing. You offer me a pardon, I accept it, this all ends? 

Woodes Rogers: Maybe. The pardons are on the table. No one is being hanged. No one’s even being tried. They’ve all been forgiven, just as you wanted. Just as Thomas Hamilton wanted. So what is it that you’re fighting for that I’m not already offering?

Flint: Thomas Hamilton fought to introduce the pardons to make a point. To seek to change England. And he was killed for it. His wife and I went to Charles Town to argue for the pardons, to make peace with England, and she was killed for it.England has shown herself to me. Gnarled and gray… and spiteful of anyone who would find happiness under her rule. [emphasis mine]

So here we go: Flint listens to Woodes Rogers’ proposal- which sounds exactly like what they were working toward just a few months ago?? But this time he refuses it. Because he sees right through it, and he recognizes that there is no possibility of reconciliation that does not include absolute surrender to England’s [”civilization’s”] Rules. The Rules that include continued slavery. That include men like him being condemned and ostracized. Woodes Rogers’ proposal sounds exactly like Thomas Hamilton’s- except that the intent was completely different- Thomas wanted to change the status quo and Rogers intends to preserve it. 

And you know what? He’s fucking right. Because literally the next fucking thing that happens when Flint refuses, is that Woodes Rogers ceases being “reasonable” and  ALSO tries the oldest trick in the book: gaslighting. 

Woodes Rogers: “ Then let us be very clear about something. I am reasonable in seeking peace. But if you insist upon making me your villain, I’ll play the part. So let us assume that, as of this moment, the unqualified pardon is no more. From this moment on, any man participating in the act of high seas piracy will be presumed to be one of your men, an enemy of the state. I will hunt him, I will catch him, and I will hang him. And while I am aware of your feelings on the subject, I am no backwater magistrate cowering in fear of you. You know where to find me. [emphasis mine]

Right: because somehow demanding freedom from slavery is “making [you] a villain”. 

What I mean to say in the above is that: Flint’s refusal to arrive at a compromise with England is not because he’s “out of control”, it’s because he is clear sighted about how systems of power work. He’s cut through all the bs that is “civilization” as per a colonial power and has found it to be rotten to the core. And that is what he pitches to the Maroon Queen: the absolute truth, not just about England (which she knows already) but also about the consequences. There is no certainty about anything- but trying is better than not. 

And now coming back to (a) which is that Flint’s anger is entirely personal. To which my answer is: of course it is. There are people who can devote themselves to larger causes and fight oppressions that they do not themselves experience personally, and I think those kind of people have amazing empathy, and may we all be more like them.

 But the sad truth is a large number of us do not wake up to systemic injustice until we experience it personally. And then what? Are we supposed to sit on our hands and say, ok, this anger of mine is really selfish because it has its beginnings in something awful that happened to me, and now that i recognize it doesn’t just happen to me, it happens to a whole lot of people both like and unlike me, but I’m not going to do anything about it-because maybe I’m playing out my own issues? 

But (i hear you say), this isn’t just about filing a petition on change.org, it’s literally starting a war. 

Ok, first off: I’ve said it before- the war is already on. Slavery is an act of war. Imprisonment of  “sexual deviants” is an act of war by the State on the individual (and larger queer community). Flint and Madi were attempting to change the terms of it. And secondly, let’s give rest to the idea that it was Flint alone who wanted a war. 

Mr.Scott to Madi: 

Mr.Scott: “ I wish you and I had not been so separate all those years.I wish I could have found a way to be a better father to you. But over time, I was determined to leave you something behind, to give you the one thing that no one could ever take away and that would make you strong enough to understand their world, interact with their world, wage war on their world. But if their identity lies in their stories, I wanted you to know them so that when we are ready to call them enemies, you would be ready for it.”  [emphasis mine]

This is an absolute recognition of what I was saying before: the war was ongoing. Mr.Scott and the Maroon Queen have spent a lifetime to prepare Madi to respond to the war on their people. In Flint, the Maroons had finally found an ally that could actually help them get somewhere. 

And as for Flint, the discovery of the Maroon Island led to another realization: and that was he no longer has to wage war alone. That there is solidarity to be had.  And that came at the end of the period where he was at his most self-destructively lonely. And having found himself on relatively stable ground again, he’s able to both articulate the effect and the use of rage/hatred. 

Here’s a conversation with Silver, in 3.09 about the punishment meted to Dobbs (over attacking one of the Maroon Crew)

Flint: That’s not why you did it.

Silver: Really? Would you like to tell me why I did it, then? 

Flint: Well, I wasn’t there, but, um, I’d hazard the guess that you learned of what had happened, told him how fucking stupid he was, and in that moment, he gave you a look that amounted to something less than contrite. And in that moment, you felt it. 

Silver: Felt what? 

Flint: Darkness. Hate. Showing indifference to the authority that you sacrificed so much to acquire, disdain for refusing to acknowledge that his actions, had you not intervened, would have led to an outcome that he would have held you responsible for reversing. Pride. Questioning what kind of man you are if you don’t seek retribution for the offense.

Silver:  So what are you saying? You saying I went too far with him?

Flint:  Maybe you went too far. Maybe you didn’t go far enough. Maybe you did it just right. The point is that while you were doing it, you heard a voice telling you that disciplining him would prevent him from repeating the offense, a voice that sounded like reason, and there was reason to it, as the most compelling lies are comprised almost entirely of the truth. But that’s what it does. Cloaks itself in whatever it must to move you to action. And the more you deny its presence, the more powerful it gets, and the more likely it is to consume you entirely without you ever even knowing it was there. Now, if you and I are to lead these men together, you must learn to know its presence well so that you may use it… Rather than it use you.  [emphasis mine]

Silver: You have some experience with this, I imagine, living in fear of such a thing within you? 

Flint: Yeah, I do.

Silver:  I can’t tell if this was a warning or a welcome.

To repeat: this is not a man who is wandering around in blind, selfish rage that’s indiscriminately targeted and can only be quenched by blood. This is a man who’s been through hell and come out on the other side, and then says “I cannot believe we’re as poorly made as that”. Which makes me want to burst into tears, even as I type this. 

 OK WOW. I NEED TO STOP. I’m not sure if this is what you wanted to hear, anon. :)

When Whit showed up last week I kind of got the feeling he was hiding rather than threatening. I'm glad it turned out that way.

‘Hunger Games’ gave today’s teens the best blueprint for defeating the NRA

Peeta and Katniss: Playing the media game in’ Hunger Game: Catching Fire ‘ figcaption>

Image: lionsgate

Inside the Capitol, the political elite have become immune to the regular destroys splashed across their screens. They’ve rationalized it as the price they have to pay for their way of life. But a handful of teenage survivors of the massacre are starting to speak out, use their status as heroes to start questioning the whole system on live TV.

The teens are enunciate, telegenic, highly media savvy, and highly dangerous to the president’s party. They’re the best chance for profound political change that anyone has seen in years, and they end up provoking revolution.

SEE ALSO: The standout instants that built CNN’s gun control town hall feel like a game-changer

That, of course, is the basic plot of Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy, in which the eponymous plays pit teen “tributes” against one another in murderous trials by combat. It’s likewise a pretty good description of what happened this week in American politics as the teen-led #NeverAgain movement continues growing into the most powerful army for change since #MeToo.

For days we’ve been amazed as the survivors of the Parkland massacre have repeatedly spoken truth to power — specifically, the moneyed power of the National Rifle Association and its bought-and-paid-for politicians. But should we be so surprised? This is exactly the response we should expect from a generation brought up on dystopian YA novels in which downtrodden teens rise up.

They wear their nerves on their sleeves, and we cannot assistance but love them for it.

Not that Emma Gonzalez and her countrymen are immediately inspired by Hunger Games protagonist Katniss Everdeen. But there are distinct parallels. Like Katniss, these teens have just the right combination of righteous fury and unbelievable calm under pressure. They are strong enough to be visibly vulnerable. They wear their hearts on their sleeves, and we cannot aid but love them for it.

Thrust into situations not of their choosing, their authenticity stands out in a ocean of political artifice. When their friends die in a preventable misfortune, they call BS. And they have the cunning to know how to stretch out their moment into a movement, planning national marchings and strikes that ensure we’ll be talking about this at least two months from now.

As author Patrick Tomlinson noted on Twitter, it really shouldn’t astonish us if teens are following the YA dystopia playbook. Especially not given the lane the generation in power has played the responsibilities of the the bad guys.

Really? You followed the damned script to a T. You pumped up millions of kids, for two decades, to believe they and their friends could make a difference. Then you thrust them all into a dystopian nightmare of violence and persecution.

And NOW you’re shocked they’re all Katniss?

The Lesson of the Mockingjay

Suzanne Collins was initially inspired to write Hunger Games in 2003 by an unsettling juxtaposition on her Tv. She was channel-surfing, flipping between a reality display and the U.S. invasion of Iraq. It wasn’t too much of a stretching to imagine a future society that ritualized war, turning the killing of adolescents( who are, after all, the majority of members of combatants in most modern conflicts) into must-see TV.

That setup soon became a cliche, the premise that launched hundreds of thousands of post-apocalyptic dystopias. But appear more closely at the original, because what really interested Collins was combat by media: how the teenage participants in the ritual oversee become all that Tv attention to their advantage.

Re-reading the book trilogy today — as opposed to rewatching the movie quadrilogy, which focused a little much on the action and bloodshed — “thats what” comes across. Katniss and her fellow tributes are hyper-aware at all days of the cameras, of the viewing public, of the scale of the game and the specific characteristics of the audience.

They’re in the fight of “peoples lives”. They’d better damn well be trained and ready.

The tributes adapt to the reality of reality TV culture. They both strive and receive media coaching from any person who is cares to advise them. And here is the perfect rejoinder to any conspiracy theorists who think they have a “gotcha” in the idea that the Parkland survivors were coached for their TV interviews: Why shouldn’t they be? They’re in the fight of their lives. They’d better damn well be trained and ready.

Katniss and the ever-scheming President Snow.

Image: lionsgate

The battle for the future of Panem is a game of chess in which everyone is treating Katniss as a pawn — including, crucially, Katniss herself. When both the president and the cynical leaders of the resistance treat her as a strategic media asset to be either built up or torn down, why wouldn’t she take command of the narrative herself?

The lesson of the Mockingjay is this: if you’re going to be the story anyway, be the tale on your own terms. Attain it count for something good.

SEE ALSO: Powerful New York Times ad calls out lawmakers funded by the NRA

The Parkland teens are use their instant in a way most activists is simply dream of. Less than a week into their political tenure and they’re participate in the NRA on in the spotlight of the Tv arena, and actually constructing it appear weak by comparison.

They’re strolling right up to Marco Rubio, who has taken the most NRA dollars of any senator, and asking politely that he stop — to a standing ovation. Live on CNN Wednesday night, like a poor parody of Hunger Games Tv host Caesar Flickerman, Rubio could have been focus on his own media power: “People buy into my agenda! “

In American politics, this is how you win: via memorable sight in which you look like the strong, savvy, and reasonable one.

The NRA actually is weaker than most people belief. Many gun owneds already know it’s a shell of its former ego, a front for producers that sends out membership cards to anyone it can get in its database whether they wanted to join or not, artificially inflating its numbers to 5 million.

But that fact alone doesn’t effect any change. What you need is someone with a measure of impunity to step forward and say loudly what needs to be said: The emperor wears no clothes. The courtiers all knew it, but it took small children to say it. And for the first time in a decade of legislative success, the NRA abruptly appears to be on the back foot.

NRA chief Wayne LaPierre is now incoherently calling about socialism. This is a new level of insanity for the NRA.

And you know what’s inducing it? They’re intimidated. Because they know the kids at Stoneman Douglas are more powerful than their money.

Snow and Trump, separated at birth ? strong>

Meanwhile, the person who is fills the Oval Office is trying to have it both ways — but largely attaining everything there is about him. This week ascertained Trump mouthing vague support for a minor piece of gun regulation, likewise making outrageous remarks about arming teachers and then, in another desperate bid for a news cycle, claiming he was misunderstand. Somehow, again, the president’s deflections helped him muddle through; the person who is took $30 million from the NRA has not receives an one-tenth of the ire that was directed at Rubio.

Our non-fictional chairperson doesn’t have one iota of Hunger Games President Snow’s cunning. Snow was supremely silver-tongued and faked empathy well, whereas Trump has to be coached to say things like “I hear you.” But they have at least this in common: they know it’s good optics to be seen on Tv talking to the teens, whether in a White House “listening” event or a Panem-wide victory tour.

One sign of the present strength of the #NeverAgain teens: They haven’t yet been the targets of Trump tweets. He’s made a half-hearted stab at suggesting the CNN event was rigged because one teen who drew out of the event claims he was fed a question( which CNN denies ), but “hes having” bided away from assaulting the children themselves.

This was more surprising than you might gues. The man with the world’s worst impulse control, who has ranted at Gold Star households and judges, who casually fired his FBI chief, insulted America’s allies and retweeted abominable lie-filled racist videos, still won’t dare touch these kids directly.

“What is to prevent, say, an uprising? ”

Possibly because, when it comes to controlling the media narration, game recognizes game. More likely, he only doesn’t know how far this thing could go, or whether he and his NRA buddies could have a youth revolution on his hands.

“If a girl from District 12 of all places can elude the Capitol and walk away unharmed, what is to stop them from doing the same? ” President Snow asks in Catching Fire . em> “What is to prevent, say, an uprising? ”

An excellent question, Mr. President. To which we might add: if a bunch of children from Parkland, Florida can defy the organization that basically bought the U.S. Capitol, and walk away with sky-high permission ratings, what is to prevent an uprising of teens from all across the U.S. from doing the same?

Teens on fire: Of course the 'Hunger Games' generation knows how to fight the NRA

Inside the Capitol, the political elite have become immune to the regular killings splashed across their screens. They've rationalized it as the price they have to pay for their way of life. But a handful of teenage survivors of the slaughter are starting to speak out, using their status as heroes to start questioning the whole system on live TV.

My how-to guide for world peace :)

Were all fighting the good fight, trying to make the world a better place, so please help to spread the word. We can no longer afford to remain silent when we have something to say, we can no longer afford to remain passive when action needs to be takin, we must do what we can, what is best for each of us/all with what we have so that we can help to set a solid foundation for future generations to build upon:

You want to know how to make world peace a reality, well, here you go folks :)

Along with food forests, wire/tunnel like structures over sidewalks made of material that will not rust and stuff that have food and other plants growing/wrapping around them making for a beautiful walk and plenty of free food that you can grab along the way, countless things can be done to cities/buildings/etc to green things up and make them look really cool/artsy/etc and as eco/tech friendly and/or whatever depending on the structures/etc, also having multi storied/layered plant troths/trays/pots, gardens, bee friendly flowers/etc, many people around the world can grow enough food in there backyards and cities to more then feed the entire populous, you can have multi layered gardening/growing/food trays, trays placed on walls, growing ops in houses/buildings, on walls and so on with the proper lightings/etc (And yes we can build underground and in other cool areas too for those who wish to do so, and a company known as AeroFarms have indoor multilayered setups and produce plants/food with 95% less water and no soil, which would be a huge help in many parts of the world :)

There is more then enough room for greenery and the lot and we will have several times more then enough green energies/power/etc, as well as water/liquid/food for everyone/thing (With no money there is no worries about processing the salt water and converting it to fresh water through desalination plants and other methods like reusing/recycling your own water, complex/flexible/highly effective and pyramid +Self moving automated solar panels and magnifying glass like effects and complex wind turbines and countless other things with systems/methods and so on that would cost an absolute fortune back in the days of money that people can now actually use and have many do at home methods :)

For lots of grass and more barren spaces/etc to have trees/plants/bushes/etc, where ever/whatever will not interfere with pipes/repairs/infrastructures/be too much trouble/etc. There will be more then enough changes made to allow for people to figure out how to make sure that we no longer require pesticides and other harmful things and that rabbits and other creatures do not eat/ruin/destroy everything and get out of control with population, diseases/etc, of course, I am referring to being humane, so that we can all, humans and non humans alike properly benefit and have full lives, not to mention all of the water recycling/reusing methods and all the rest of it that will be put into place for everyone - No more money folks, no more money, oh, and as a friendly warning, when cleaning up the air/etc make sure you have the right balances and don’t change things to quickly, and having too little greenhouse gases/etc can result in another show ball earth like that of around 600mil years ago, so be sure to let things get better naturally and balance themselves out as we clean up the lands and waters of the world :)

Plus many more non polluting energy sources/etc to support everyone with a comfortable lifestyle, including the once homeless/etc who will be living in what were once banking/corporate buildings/etc/etc, these buildings and other structures/etc being converted into living spaces and other useful outlets for true/guaranteed sustainable living for all (there will be no more insane waste of space/resources and all the rest of it and just here on Earth alone there is far more then enough materials/etc for everyone and we can clean up our mess and make this planet better then it has ever been) and speaking of space, yes we should pay attention and learn from it, as in having enough professionals/equipment to monitor 100% of the skies for killer rocks and other dangerous cosmic activities and have more attention/action on plans to take care of an otherwise possibly lethal situation, to be healing/monitoring the earth/ourselves/life, we can continue to explore Mars and the rest of it with our machines in far greater details later once we have solved enough of our own troubles :)

You’ve got all kinds of web services that allow you to design your own home, gardens and countless other things, including ideas/inventions and the likes, those along with schooling/teaching websites with different courses, hobbies and so on and so forth can all be easily available to us and people who are good at them being their to help out in the community/etc (obviously not a how to guide on how to build a nuke and such) and managed by the experts in those said fields so that you know all the info you are getting is legit :)

You may think me crazy for this one, but for those who are going to die, no cure/etc (If around people/etc they should have nothing that can spread), I feel that if they want to they should be allowed to go out with a bang (Same with anyone else who meets the proper criteria), having a video cam with live feed strapped to them while skydiving without a parachute (Being in an area where they wont collide with others/etc). Other events, having ancient roam style/etc arenas where gladiators/people fight to the death. Have rooms with magnetic fields/electricity. As well as countless other stuff (I would also want to participate in something if I was diagnosed with a deadly whatevz if I was ever suffering too much without a cure and countless other activities that can be created/etc that will immortalize people).

Have all of the violent enough criminals/etc put together in scenarios similar to “The purge” films (With no time/weapon/etc limits and devices that make sure no one suffers/is tortured at truly unheard of levels while they are still alive/etc) in secure enough locals and so on and so forth (Grand masters/best of the following: Human lie detectors + Lie detector machines, Body/Vocal language experts, Social scientists, Psychiatrists, Aura readers, Spiritualists, White hat hackers, Psychopath/Sociopath finders/etc…whatever for whatever scenarios/etc, all the best the world has to offer in screening people) and I confess that I would want a front row seat to stuff like this, and I don’t think that any of this will be a criminal act (Though I am sure there would be crowds of people that would disagree), on the contrary, I mean, just look at the darknet/web, countless people being abused/starving/etc/etc/etc, so much crap is just so wide and vast WITH innocent enough people who are being tortured/manipulated/takin advantage of/etc against their will/etc, THAT is what people should be fuming about…

You still here?…Good, now, a real solution for this and over 50% of all the destruction/suffering is simple, for as many of us as is possible to either go vegan or as close to it as we realistically can and to push to make more of the proper resources/etc to be made available around the world & as for the rest of the BS only a small amount would remain if money/currency was no longer used, and guess what, if we do enough things right, there will be no need for the bloodshed and everyone, yes, everyone (Myself included of course) can get all the aura/spiritual/physical/mental/emotional/etc help that we truly need as there will be more then enough available to truly do the best we can so we will not suffer at any of there hands, with there also being no forced executions/etc, as there are things that can be used, as the more people that follow/do what is right (Guess “right” is subject to interpretation, I suppose), the more resources/advancements/etc that will be made available/easier it will be, please, the future is depending on us T_T :)

Also, if humanity as a whole is so hopeless, insensitive, violent and the likes today and is not like the so called good old days, then why is it that over 99% of us really don’t want to cause real trouble/problems? We want a better world, and many of us when properly motivated/informed/moved/etc will fight for it (1 in a 100 people equals out to around 70mil - Even if it ever happened where 10%/700mil were at these levels, that still leaves 90% of us). Just to be clear, with this total, I don’t mean only the rich (As in the 1%ers) causing problems, I am referring to all of humanity in all levels/races/etc, and I cannot emphasize enough times about how great humanity really and truly is :)

Anyways, of those few bad apples, very few of the trouble makers are out to cause any real harm that is not due to any events in their lives, just look at the news, they have to scrounge around and even report on other countries/etc to get you stories about this so called chaotic era that is supposedly so bad, look at all the killing the starvations and countless other things that are so tragic/heartbreaking and unnecessary. We are by nature a diverse/peace loving species, so peaceful in fact that virtually all of us just keep taking the shit (Even the kinds that keep getting worse) that the system and the few &%$^&%^&*%&*^&^$@$!@@$#!@#@%$$&^%*&^**^$^&##%@%$$@@$&%^^%s (Who are that way for whatever reason/s) keep throwing our way, lolz :)

If anything we are becoming more enlightened and less violent as time goes on, and yes far more harmful things are coming to light…because of technologies, better understanding, communications which of course can make things seem worse with less being kept behind closed doors/etc and lets not forget about how things can be bent out of shape, the prize winning acts, the tweaking of technology, the lies, false reports/etc/etc/etc that are truly worthy of an Emmy (How many people do you think want to actually go to war/fight as oppose to wanting truly diverse world peace?), far less stuff being hidden/etc/etc/etc. Peace on earth is already here, within our very grasp and aside from the rare persons, who knows, maybe with enough communications certain people can be found to properly help them too) we can properly help everyone who needs it in todays world, great medical, food/etc/etc/etc for all to make life as best we can for us, right now, right this second if we all want, peace around virtually the entire globe and in the not too distant future, all of it, and this will happen, if we let it :)

Here hows it can go with the learning facilities/courses: Music, theatre, making glass and stain glass (Even glass/materials with 100%UVA, 100%UVB, UV400 protection all the way through) + creating with them, metallurgy, welding, auto mechanics/machines, art/drawing, woodworking, computers programming, animation/movie/video game/programming creation, cameras/devices, media, marketing, cooking, countless eco tech/planting/greenhouses/etc so we can have chocolate and all kinds of exotic fruits/etc without having them shipped to us from a gal…er country/place far far away, specialized tanks for exotic foliage, on land and and underwater with temperature/humidity/etc controls and have our own well maintained mini ecosystems and in turn help to save and even bring back extinct life using life/etc that will be happy/do well/etc in these places :)

and buying a roll of tape in Canada that was made and shipped to us from China, ridiculous, such a waste of resources, all the plastics, wasted and currently harmful fuels, pesticides, cheap shortcuts Foods/drinks can be made far healthier/better and much greater quality for other stuff as well), its never ending the unnecessary and extreme sufferings/craziness thats going on with the monetary system, lets have teachings of true/real family/people/humanitarian/emotion, inventors/innovators, psychiatry, how to truly think for yourself and when/how to be a leader and a follower, how to communicate, use ones own common sense, how most of us can be enlightened Rams as oppose to being Sheep for the Wolves, help each other and how to find/spot those that need it, to truly work towards being the best, ever changing/evolving version of you, how to best use technologies to learn the maths, etc, etc, etc, the list is endless, and it too is truly forever evolving, this will open up so many more possibilities that will no longer be out of reach for so many, and there are waste to energy plants that burn garbage/etc without releasing harmful toxins in the air and produce energy (Without money, just think of all the extra energy that would be produced by these and other facilities/methods/etc), and recycling plants/practices/etc are getting better :)

Peace is great yet we should not let down our guard all the same as others may be just biting their time and waiting for the perfect moment to strike with their nukes or what have you, but no worries I am certain that in the not too distant future that we will all be able to manage everything and not have to worry about such things, besides, they live on this planet just as we do and who in their right minds would actually give the orders/etc to use weapons that are that powerful to cause global chaos, cause, again, we all share this world, but at the same time, at least for now, we should keep our nukes, guns/etc, why, because anyone could strike behind our backs and with the proper usages/etc these as far as I am concerned are good things to hold onto, in the right hands, for those that are ready/etc, well, north Korea is just one of the places that just happens to come to mind for the nukes, so yeah, lets be careful, and if we are to get rid of weapons, be certain without a doubt that it actually is the right thing to do, well, it all goes to say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best, someday everything will truly be alright, I am certain of it, we just have to let go of the areas of our current system that are holding us back so that we can eventually, truly get to this point :)

Transportation, not a problem, especially with so many brilliant minds finally being freed up to make it greener/better/etc for us all, plus with so many people being much more community based, in their own towns/homes/cities so to speak we will not be needing to use transport so much, besides how many drive back and forth to jobs that are not even needed or farther away then they need to be (Many jobs out there today should already be obsolete “not the skills of the workers just the jobs” and as for the ones that are truly vital there will always be more then enough people with more then enough skills who love the vital ones/will be more then happy enough to take care of them and us as a whole are naturally a cooperative species and long to share our talents, be with others and just help one another out and even now tons of people volunteer and help others (And yes some of us are introverts/etc, but this can be a good thing too you know), the community/etc who still have jobs and especially when we are free things will be far better then they are now, which is what will happen when we stop using money and move passed the monetary system) and the rest, we will take care of, handle things/help each other as a community, no longer have absolutely ridiculous/plague proportions of waste in regards to food/items/etc so it won’t even be an issue (We’ll keep figuring everything out together :)

Keep in mind the countless materials (Such as all of the plastics, rubbers, glass, metals/etc/etc/etc) that have been tossed (Including many that currently cannot be recycled) wish can be used for countless things and several people with very creative minds in their field will continuously think up awesome ideas/innovations to keep things advancing/going and have continuous, inventions/innovations/creativities that will be so vast and as we truly enter this new resonance era, oh and as for the money of the past, it has been put in many of the DuckTales/Scrooge McDuck style money bins “Built as close to the real thing as is realistically/safely possible with unique looks/designs/etc for each area” with their own currency symbol of course - Amount/sizes of these bins/buildings depending on the monies of each place that have not been kept as souvenirs, fun to go in for a dive, or should a say a swim (Of sorts) every now and again, lolz :)

We can have greenhouses and other stuff galore and we don’t have to give up chips, pop, pizza and countless other great things, plus, amongst other things scientists have already created small bacon strips from stem cells and it wont be long before medical science can create all body parts and even allow for all foods/drinks to be healthy and delicious while being custom made for you and even creating your own unique items and so much more, we will have no scars or nothing, all that being fixed, perfect health and immortality if we wish it and eventually we can be awesome blend of tech/biology, not like the Borg, no, no, no, but to actually register as a pure biological being, kind of think of the future us as being much like a fair number of anime characters with super heightened senses/reflexes/etc and also having the ability to live fully without being negatively overwhelmed, overwhelmed is so crazily and freakishly awesome in the right ways, trust me, oh, and another cool thing, if we loose body parts they’ll grow back, heck eventually we’ll even be able to regenerate like Majin Boos evil half from Dragon Ball Z, but in this case even every last vibe would have to be somehow wiped out, it’s gonna be truly beyond awesome :)

We will feel and know countless things and can mentally be them, nothings dead, everything is alive, separation, nothingness and so much else are illusions, all be it very entertaining ones, life/everything is God and God is a 4D brain, that God is thinking/dreaming reality and I do feel that we ourselves are a madly complex simulation created in a sense by Gods dream, that “all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream” as Edgar Allan Poe would put it. Anyways, God being 420degrees and greater (Not speaking of the illusions of temperatures as everything is absolute zero “In the most beautiful of ways when ready”, but angle wise), anyways, experiencing so much, all at once, fear is enhanced awareness after all, and hell will be the new heaven, nothing boring/nothing seeming far more dead/hell, but a heaven that is far, far grander then anything that any of us can currently comprehend, and thats just within the beginnings of true wakefulness :)

Imagine eventually seeing countless shades and even varying colours on things that to you now appear to just be one colour/shade, imagine nothing looking flat, having colourations/looks thats are far far superior to a solid/liquid light/Gemstones/medal/silver/crystal/diamonds/buttery/etc combo and being super sharp in detail to say the least, far far fewer things appear so bright to us that they would end up appearing as purely white when they are really not, and naturally, what will be seen/experienced at night will also be truly awe inspiring with far far fewer things appearing as purely black which are really not, seeing, noticing and feeling so much of what is around you, the smells, the sticky/liquid air and so much more, with technology and eventually ourselves we will be able to create plants/creatures, Gemstones, Pokemon, oh, and quick question, but, have you by any chance seen the brave little toaster? (An excellent movie), going in and out of cyber realities, machines/robots/etc constantly upgrading/repairing themselves/etc, heck, pretty much whatever, changing/creating even out of nothingness (Since nothingness is yet another of the countless illusions that we experience here) with being able to properly change the proper vibes/waves/tones/frequencies/etc at some point in the infinitely beautiful/complex songs of life and properly channeled/focused sounds/energies/waves/etc will for the most part be the tools of the future :)

At some point for those of us who still choose to keep at least enough of our being within this realm, we can even be far beyond Odo/changelings from StarTrek DS9 (We will be forever evolving “What you may like to call” Gods that are truly beyond comprehension to the people of today), you see, quite a few things that are “proven” to be impossible today will be proven to be reality tomorrow, and quite a few things that are “proven” to be false today, well, you get the picture (Magic is real, and as has been said before, what is called/believed to be magic is quite simply science/reality that is not yet well enough understood and this is a future that is so far beyond any of our ideas of beauty that it will truly change our perceptions/us in countless on top of countless ways) the future truly is going to be awesome beyond our current imaginings, but, we have to make our forever leaps forward truly begin to happen in this day and age by setting the real/true groundwork/starting point :)

Today people miss so much that they speed through life, talk so much yet say so little, it is very frustrating and is so easy/simple/lacking that its difficult and quite frustrating in many ways to say the least (No offence intended) when compared even to the whale/dolphin and countless other sounds of the beginnings of true/real/universal communications, communications that easily change depending on moods and everything else around you, anyways, people today also being sped up in their actions, their speeding past/being ignorant of so much of what is all around us (Again, no offence intended), and their sped up concepts of time, but in the future we will both move at incredibly fast paces that to us quite a few of our moments will seem as being anything from not being seen at all, to being a blur to perfectly still and anywhere in between, yet our concepts of time will be ultra slow to the point where to the people of today it will seem as if they are not moving at all and the air will seem far far thicker then molasses, so many vibes, electrical feels and fluids right through and on you always moving kind of feeling like having slimy/fiery/electrical/vibrating insects both being and eating alive everywhere/everything, the what to us are like devouring hellish like pure/screaming/demonic evil thats out to devour everything but magnified countless fold beyond anything that our current physical selves can experience/survive as we would be truly torn apart at all levels (Sounds like hell, believe me, I know, but trust me, it isn’t, not when were ready enough for it, to be opened up to it/etc, for this to be ever growing/increasing states of continuing enhanced awareness, a truly incredible life, truly giving a whole new look on being sharp as a knife), and our movements will be fluid/effortless and life will be a continuous flow/dance/form of art of super enhanced awareness as so much will be experience every moment, and life will truly be beyond kick ass folks, now, even though this is a while off, isn’t that something worth fighting for? :)

So, yeah, currently, we are basically like little blips/tones/vibes on the musical scale of the fabrics that make up what is, not just here in the 3D but everything, with the complexities of the earth and life on it all together being like an electron around the sun, now, with that in mind, lets get to God, shall we, so, at any rate, picture the entire solar system (Meaning the whole roughly 2 lightyears worth of it as any effects from the gravity of a solar systems star/s dictates its size) as like the complexities of a rather simplistic atom, and if that wasn’t enough for you, picture everything that is as being like an average adult human as a rough/approximate analogy to the true God/everything, I believe that bees how it actually is in comparison if you count in all laws, all dimensions, the whole works as we are all God…mind blown yet? (This is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the wonders I am describing in a couple of books which I have on the go that I am hoping to finish/publish at some point and maybe even make a movie of my life someday, drawing the audience into my world :)

Anyways, back to reali…er, the modern world, vitamins can be automatically added to foods/drinks/etc to best meet our individual needs (3D printers can create the parts needed to self replicate themselves and even print edible food) and we can even have more grocery stores then ever before with all the good stuff while still keeping things tasting great without the chemical and all the cheeping out and so much other extreme enough stuff that some do to save a buck and gain power/etc, its ruining our planet and causing so much suffering that is just truly beyond ridiculous, but thankfully soon having humane dairy/meet/etc created in the lab then in the comfort of your own home…so many countless/awesome things can be done for the world today (One of many other things that can be done, well, those beautiful/fancy ice hotels/sculptures/etc, many can be made in areas where they will not melt, oh, and eventually we wont even need to eat, we will be able to simulate tastes/sensations/etc and will always have all of the fuel/etc that we will ever need, think Im off my rocker, well, try talking about all of the things of todays world to a fair number of those of around 200-300+ years ago :)

Okay, so, anyhow, with so many brilliant minds free to invent/improve things by continuous leaps and bounds without the countless atrocities/sufferings of money/greed, creativity/life/etc will truly keep evolving by never ending leaps and bounds, but like Egypt (Look at their revolution after their internet was cut for a bit, a small number of the populous stood up to this and look what happened and how virtually all the attacks were done by hired people to try and stop it - Even in Canada and around the world there have been many things like this going on, you may want to watch Alex Jones police state movies amongst many, many other film makers/films that go into great detail about animal cruelties and so much else that are proven to be fact. Anyways, now imagine Egypt on a global scale with we the people always standing our ground-as peacefully as possible of course, but being aware of the trouble makers and continually learning from experiences and handling things better all the time :)

With the world over there are most likely going to be undercover people and others hired to try and make things worse, people rioting, wars started by propaganda and the likes, so we must keep our heads together and our hearts strong, love will win and we must not fall pray to the bullshit of the few (Percentage wise, there are very few people on earth who are committing noteworthy crimes, you know beyond stealing a cookie from the cookie jar or crying, stuff like that, and far more who are keeping the peace, and given the way things are today, that tells me that we will make it, we are a smart/caring/cooperative/peace loving species), and as for those few who are trying to keep us in the dark they will not want to loose this current system and will try to fight till the end and cause as much fear and the likes that they can to try and keep it, so no matter what they cause or the fear, rumours, false footage, reports/etc that they spew out and events that they try to create, we can’t fall pray to hate, revenge, and the likes, we can’t be the fuel that feeds their flame, and we can not give those with deadly weapons reasons to use them, the military/etc are our friends and they are on our side, they are human beings like the rest of us :)

Also, for schools, a fair amount of what they teach you can find on the internet, which in turn can be far better structured to make it easy to find/study what you wish with plenty of online discussion forms/help available as well as your community/etc - Doctors and such you will need hands on training as well, but what I am trying to say is most everything does not require that you have to be physically present in an actual classroom, especially not with a free community and this can also leave even more areas that can be set up for the gifted inventors, thinkers, futurists and so on to come up with new/improved ideas/inventions/etc for those that prefer not to work from home, and places set up where innovators can invent, talk and get what they need :)

We can all have seeds/food/plants that can grow each year, produce seeds of their own/etc, empty lots/etc can be planted/forested (Best to go by natures rules/growth patterns/etc for planting trees and so on as well as repairing areas and reintroducing native plants/species/etc and videos on Masanobu Fukuokas Seed ball method as well as his natural farming techniques are great and so is the homegrown revolution movement, and you may also want to watch “Earthlings - The movie 2005, DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA ✰ John Robbins ✰ Full Documentary 1991, Fast food nation 2006, ENVIRONMENT | THE MUST-SEE DOCUMENTARY, [Inside LSD] - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER Full Documentary 2009”, amongst many other movies/films/vids/clips/etc :)

When it comes to governments and many other authorities we don’t need them, especially not now, we are a global community and can easily maintain the aspects of anarchist law, and in todays’ world we have more than enough resources and smarts at our disposal to truly work together and make much more wondrous lives for every human being while being able to give the very best of care for all of the suffering (Even if our population was to suddenly double overnight, once we do things right) while still maintaining a very healthy planet, yes, we can still make this world far better then it has ever been for humans and non humans alike even if there were roughly 15 to 20 billion+ people and we will always be able to continue to keep life awesome for all generations to come :)

So awesome in fact that that we may have to use a new word to describe this beyond awesome state, and/or possibly even this new era, maybe something like this one that I thought up, “Phosomancesss” - pronounced as “Faw-Sohm-An-Sisss/Fawsohmansisss :)” (A cross between “Phoenix, Awesome, Om, Renaissance and the hissing sounds of a species once hated/feared by many, know as Snakes”) Definition: A state/place of continuous transcendent evolution :)

I for one would weep to no end if humanity as a whole were to abandon technologies, science/etc/etc as they are (As far as I am concerned) absolutely vital keys to our quality of life, salvation and continuing ascension, completion, awesome lives for the world over and always being there for those that want it, for true freedom and so much more (Someday, because of them we ourselves can become everything that we need so that we will no longer need many of these things, but for now and for a while to come, I say, let those of us who want tech/etc embrace and continue to benefit from all of these things and in turn make lives as best we can for everyone in every way that they wish while remembering to keep their lifestyles/beliefs/etc in mind, lets go wild with museums, amusement parks, religious/holy structures and countless other life enriching/enhancing things :)

As for posting videos and other copyright law/etc stuff, so long as you don’t go plastering your name on other peoples photos/etc you should be allowed to post whatever videos/etc you want while keeping others in mind/etc (Including music, news/etc videos, again, so long as you don’t plaster your name/credit on what you did not create) and to also post your own video creations (Even if you use others photos, clips/etc and giving yourself credit for creating the video is fine just so long as you don’t claim that you created those individual pics/clips/etc, if they are not of your creation) and if people state that they don’t want you to use/post their material for obvious and legit/non crap and non monetary reasons/etc then their personal/etc materials should be kept to them and just having stuff posted on the net, especially if its for the world too see runs the risk of others finding and using it. Also, like so much other stuff, aside from the obvious stuff most of us shouldn’t have/etc, everyone being able to have the computer programs/software/etc/etc/etc of their choosing including otherwise outrageously expensive ones, the sky is no longer the limit, remember, money is no longer an issue :)

When things are truly changing, people will truly be able to heal/bleed out the emotional bullshit and free themselves/there minds, life will be very fulfilling and far from boring without money, to start there will be countless activities/tasks/things to keep you preoccupied whenever you want to do something, not to mention the joys of working together knowing that your helping to clean up the planet and doing countless feel good stuff, help other people/creatures/plants/etc and with people having far more freedoms to invent, create and improve life/etc, just to live, and things will only continue to get better for us as we will in many respects connect like we have connected before and be like one gigantic native American Indian global type of community, we will at last know/feel true/real freedom the world over :)

May your souls of ghostly liquid light spread their cleansing chills 2 hauntingly beautiful tones in the never ending melodies of mysterious holy darkness in life’s eerily eternal song of infinitely awe inspiring complexities, turning fear into enhanced awareness & illuminate the way for others… I am hyper aware, each sense acting as if the others died... Experiences of D Angels through us T_T

More and more, fear becomes realized as what it is, enhanced awareness, and the "fears" (Along with the other emotions bought on) from/of darkness meld together with the light in healing which is a truly hauntingly beautiful thing. It allows for more growth in understandings, sympathies and empathy. It helps to further raise the vibration to not necessarily get rid of the darkness but to make it a part of who you are, but for the better/with it being healed more and more, becoming greater awareness/wisdom & knowledge :)

I find that Transcendental meditation is fantastic, but I can see how it can easily seem too powerful for many as they have either not been through enough in life or have not been through enough training. Transcendental meditation can seem like evil/darkness when in actual fact it is a further transformation into the light :)

Over time it feels as if you are becoming like that of a ghost made of liquid light (Light, that is warm, hot and cool all at the same time), vibrations and tones (An angel), like you are no longer physically aware of weight, substance or material happenings. You/the light has cleansing chills throughout your entire being and feel many ripples and vibrations (Like that from water and really good quality sound systems from all around and within yourself). You become aware that the night and the understandings that come with it are a holy treasure trove when combined with the light/existence :)

Hi guys, it’s me again, and as promised, today is my last review for the movies that were featured in the Dark Universe trailer. As you can see, I’ve saved the best for last. It’s the Phantom of the Opera, the 1940s version staring Claude Rains. Out of all the films I’ve seen, this was the only one that was filmed in technicolor. My guess is that the people who did the trailer turned the clips into black and white in order to bring out the creepyness of the advertising. Now, onto the film. I have to admit, this is by far one of the most satisfying versions of Phantom that I have ever seen. The one thing that I found a bit annoying was the love triangle. I was at the point where I wanted to strangle the inspector and the lead male singer to let Christine make up her own mind. Then there was the ending. I have to admit, I was surprised that Christine had chosen her career over marriage when she saw how much Erik loved her and was devoted to wanting to have a career at the opera after he was crushed to death. On the side note, at least the love triangle BS didn’t end in bloodshed when both the inspector and male lead decided to have dinner together, as friends I mean. Anyway, the opera scenes were amazing and how far Universal has become advanced twenty years after the Lon Chaney version was filmed. Despite having gone a bit insane during the film , Rains Erik is willing to do anything to make sure that Christine has a place in the Opera, and that choosing her career over the guys who want to court her, was her way of honoring the wishes of the man who gave so much up for her.
