Case Study: China Airlines Flight 611 Crash

In May of 2002, China Airlines Flight 611 left Taiwan on a routine flight to Hong Kong. Twenty minutes into the flight the aircraft failed catastrophically, disintegrating mid-flight and killing all 225 individuals on board. The ultimate cause of the crash was determined to be fatigue cracking as a result of improper maintenance - from an incident that had occurred twenty years earlier. In 1980, a tailstrike was repaired incorrectly, which would ultimately lead to increased fatigue stresses and the fatigue failure that brought down the plane.

It was said by a mutual of mine before as well that there's certain lack of engagement with Shadow Milk's character outside of his situationship with Pure Vanilla, and even the dynamic is being what it seems verrrrry flanderized . aND I think if you really want to angst Shadow Milk its like. YOU CAN do that and i dont know if anyone is doing it right cuz im too scared to look. but like

u have to understand that if there' anything shadow milk feels remorseful, or regretful about, is that he doesn't. its too early i think to say for sure where his character is going, but i think it is safe to say he does not regret anything, does not feel bad about anything he's done or going to do, and probably has never felt bad about it at all.

what makes his character so compelling as a villain AND a personality, is how unabashedly shamelessly sadistic and despicable he is. he thrives in others suffering. there's a chance he spent all his divine self in solitude, aware of everything everywhere all the time. because to know is to constantly find yourself in isolation when people dont want to face the truth. and what he's doing is twisting it the way he wants, lying to the point of willing it into reality.

and how can you angst it? its his lonely realization of the truth he's hiding from, that will never make him able to connect with anyone. its knowing that your beliefs in something greater, something innocent, were false, and you will be destined to be the only one to Know. his perfect world is of lies and hatred, because he's so full of it himself, where suffering and bliss is one as are truths and lies. he's a deeply sad individual and not in a sympathetic, understandable way (unlike burning spice who shows active signs of remorse and suicide ideation as he's struggling with his failures). his conclusion makes him feel comfortable in inflicting and subjecting people to unspeakable psychological pain.

i cant tell you what to do if you want to feel sympathy for shadow milk, but i really think there are far more complex and interesting things you could do with his own failures. he thinks the only way to null his own hatred for the cruel reality is to make others suffer, to make it where he's constantly comfortable and entertained. he thinks if he tries hard enough and torments people enough, it will make, ultimately, a better world of chaos and, I THINK, a world where knowing the truth will equal to nothing.

thats where his entire conflict with pure vanilla is coming from. he THINKS he knows everything, and he THINKS that in seeing pure vanilla so naively believing in truth to be something that prevails, he can make a show of the ultimate proof that all of pure vanilla's beliefs are rubbish, by breaking him. by turning pure vanilla Into him. by isolating him and making him suffer the way shadow milk did, in everpresent and everaware solitude.

tldr he's lonely for the fact that he's an all knowing entity and thus is hateful towards the world and people so he inflicts it upon others in a manner of manipulation and constructing the narrative the way he wants it to be for personal entertainment and comfort. and he loves it. he uses pure vanilla to prove his point. you shouldnt feel bad for him and in fact you should be beating him with sticks every day every minute every second and his angst is nothing but selfish spiral he has no desire to get out of because he enjoys it and uses to justify his actions.

it’s so important to me when optimus and hot rod don’t have a mentor mentee relationship and optimus would never in a million years actively chose him to lead the autobots. i feel like that’s where a lot of other successors fail in appeal to me- like hot shot or smokescreen- because the matrix is essentially gifted to them.

Case Study: Rana Plaza Collapse

In April 2013, in Bangladesh, the commercial building known as the Rana Plaza collapsed due to structural failure. The confirmed death toll was over a thousand people, with thousands more injured; it is considered to be one of the deadliest accidental structural failures in recent history. Multiple reasons were given for the cause of the collapse, including:

The foundation; the building was constructed on an in-filled pond

Illegal construction; the top floors of the building were added after the fact, exceeding the weight limit of the already existing lower floors

And the use of substandard construction material

Even worse was the fact that cracks had been discovered in the building the day before the collapse but workers in the building were ordered to return the next day regardless.

Something that irks me when I remember and think about it, is how some movies and or series mess with the already stablished myths and mythologies just so they can fit to their story.

Let me explain further. The problem is not that said movie/serie has their interpretation of the Gods, Goddesses and myths, I myself have my own interpretation about them, BUT it is when they have to just forget about what CANNONICALLY happened because yes or because whatever reason.

And I know sometimes you can't just show the whole truth but like... Is it really necessary to just mess with an already solid story written thousand of years ago?

Because the Gods and Goddesses are always a representation of human nature, due to obviously being written by humans and they already had their personality stablished, so just mess them to create another personality and story for them is just that: A mess.

TL;DR: Watching sometimes mythologies and mythical characters being rewritten into two different people with the same name just so they fit into the story coveniently feels like canon vs fanon.
