What Is Your Defence In?

What is your defence in? This is a question every one of us must ask and answer. Another way to ask this is, what do you boast in? What makes you feel superior or inferior to others? It’s time to consider if we see others as we see ourselves.

We are still reeling from the senseless attack that sadly led to the loss of the lives of three young girls who had their entire futures ahead of them. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and others who are still recovering from the physical and psychological trauma of the attack. Unfortunately, the attention, prayers, love and support that should have been directed to the victims…

Common Miconceptions about qJaiden!

She likes or is proFederation! False!

-She is not fond of the federation at all and the only ones she truly cares about from them are the Cucurucho's, the ones she spent 2 weeks with in isolation, which obviously has problems of its own. She has stated and told people multiple times that only cucurcucho matters to her and not the federation as a whole.

If it doesnt matter to a character in the server or to you as a viewer and you align cucurucho the same as the federation, thats completely fair, but its important to include that distinction when talking about qjaiden's character as the difference is important to her and her perception.

She was raised/an experiment by the Federation/Cucurucho! Uncomfirmed!

-it has not been stated anywhere the true nature between qjaiden and cucurucho's/the Federation's past. All we know is that qJaiden "helped" the federation/cucurucho in some way and they need her help again. It is not canon that Cucurucho was ever her father figure nor that Jaiden is somehow a mother figure/caretaker of them.

qJaiden is naive! False!

-Jaiden is fully aware of cucurucho's wrong doings and is not naive about the fact that they may be manipulating her. Although she IS attached to them, remember that the whole reason she started working with the Federation is for the gauranteed safety of the eggs, which they failed to do. She is not ignorant of this fact btw, she's aware that they failed to keep their end of the bargain but she's also aware that she's gotten far with her relationship with the Cucurucho's and consequently the Federation, which she believes may be used to her advantage. She's also not always agreeing or in line with what Cucurucho does, as seen when she found out about the Happy Pills and Forever being drugged, which ended with her waiting for hours to confront Cucurucho in anger but spiraled to somewhat of a breakdown as she becomes scared and nervous and tells herself that she cannot mess up their relationship now as she has gotten so far. QJaiden is fully aware and understands the drastic consequences that her actions may take, she is not naive or ignorant.

Impromptu list because reasons. If im wrong about anything or if you want to add something then tell me!

It genuienly confuses me when people think Hobie is general alt instead of just punk.I don't mean the broader miconceptions of what is or isn't universal to being alternative,i mean i've straight up seen people call him other cultures.'Hobie is goth'No????You can be punk but not goth because there's a million punk aesthetics and Hobie never said he's goth punk.'Hobie is a skater boy'He never said he's ska punk either and you cannot tell me Gwen actually listens to Avril so she wouldn't introduce him to her music.'Hobie is emo'SpiderPUNK.IT'S HIS FUCKING NAME OH MY GOD MORE PEOPLE KNOW HIM AS SPIDERPUNK THAN THEY DO AS HOBIE I'M-

[kazoosandfannypacks]

Any of you guys had any miconceptions about a media from your friend's fandoms, only to get into the fandom and go "wait. that's not a thing?" I'll go first.

For some reason I always assumed Riptide from Percy Jackson was a talking sword. I think I just saw a bunch of posts about it and got it conflated with Dust: An Elysian Tale, but yeah. I was very disappointed to find out the sword doesn't talk.

(Also— this post is a safe space to talk about past mistakes. If I see anyone on this post making fun of anyone else for not knowing something at one point in their life, it's an instant block from me.)

i remember being really young and watching inuyasha late at night and i think there was some sort of attack or something that was referred to as a ‘miasma’ but I thought inuyasha said ‘my asthma’ and for a really long time I was like “oh yeah of course... he has asthma... he said it in an episode but it’s weird we never see him use an inhaler, i wonder why they never address inuyasha’s asthma??” like I was just waiting the whole series for his asthma to finally become relevant to the plot hgggh

@soup-stain that's actually a great question! I'm answering here because there's a character limit on replies and i think other people might have a similar question.

I think the first place to begin is keeping you from getting a virus is NOT the primary purpose of any vaccine, it's to make sure you don't become very ill from it. With a flu shot, for example, it's not that you're never getting the flu, but rather that if you're exposed to it, it'll probably just feel like a cold or you won't get any symptoms at all so you don't notice. And when you're not as sick, you're coughing less, sneezing less, and in general the contagious period for you is shorter and you're less likely to pass it on. All of this is also true for the COVID-19 vaccine.

So good news right off the bat! The COVID-19 vaccine will make sure you don't end up in the hospital and make it less likely that your germs will mess someone else up. There's also some exciting research coming out that shows the COVID-19 vaccine might reduce viral load, or the amount of virus in someone's blood (this affects how many COVID-19 particles you would exhale into the air). So that's another way it reduces spread potentially!

Not to mention any vaccine, if enough people in the population are inoculated, would create herd immunity. Herd immunity is when enough people are resistant to a virus in a population that it stops travelling freely and replicating! This is great because people who can not get vaccinated (disabled people, immunocompromised people, people with allergies, and children who do not have vaccines yet) become protected from the virus too! This is the goal! But it takes everyone else getting vaccinated to actually happen, or else the virus will continue spreading and mutating.

Finally, you're right, this is not our "traditional" vaccine so to say, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. It's an mRNA vaccine, meaning our bodies will use that information to produce the surface proteins of the virus (imagine it's like the virus's hat) and then create antibodies that recognize and attack those.

tldr; vaccines make sure you don't end up in the hospital, they DO reduce spread, they create herd immunity, and them being made with mRNA don't make them any less effective

@chaoszonenate ahhh 'm glad I'm not alone! 🥺 I suspect the source of my miconception will implicate my edgar sympathies, but i think i took ash's intimations about edgar helping treat her "condition" to be about vampirism, and not the blood of hate—because otherwise, what would that conversation have even looked like?

elisabeth: I'm going to hire you on purpose and I need your help curing my terrible blood disease.

edgar: I'd be delighted to assist! can you describe this disease for me? its symptoms? does your blood have any especially volatile properties i should be made aware of before moving into clinical trials?

elisabeth: excellent questions! anyway good luck with that.

like... this outcome just gives them both SO little credit that i dismissed it, bc (potentially unpopular opinion) i think they're both shown to be smart in other ways; but then, implicating edgar and elisabeth's intelligence is no less a writing problem than my former position of believing the thematic nature of vampires had been fundamentally misunderstood

my other gripe about stephane beauverger neutering Vampyr's vampires (and ok, probably my edgar sympathies too, don't laugh) had just primed me to suspect him of the latter, rather than the former

@musicofthespores bless your heart (sincere)! i appreciate you sharing your market fresh memories with me, truly u have been indispensable :D

You do realise that phobias will never be rational, considering that phobias are literally defined as irrational fears.

that's true! sorry i do not think out every single thing i say here, esp in tags haha but yeah you are correct, phobias are not rational.. if i remember correctly this is in response to my tags on the insect phobia thing? the reason why i say that when people talk about fear of bugs is that almost everyone believes that being afraid of bugs *is* rational - it's such a widespread fear that people actually believe that they *should* be afraid of bugs, that it's normal and it makes sense... it doesn't!! there is an extreme minority that can actually hurt us, you know... and almost none of those live in close quarters. highlighting that the fear of invertebrates is irrational is important to combat these beliefs. there is really no reason to fear them, just respect them and leave them alone, they won't hurt you, yknow? theyre literally tiny extremely fragile guys that help us *way* more than they hurt - we couldn't survive without them. even cockroaches have benefits in small amounts (pretty sure they eat mould, and other insects) - and they're extremely harmless. they don't even carry diseases really, that's a miconception.

but yeah. nit picking a stranger's tags on tumblr won't get you anywhere. i hope you at least think about this topic as it's very important and relevant to everyone!!!

I was talking to my mom recently about common miconceptions about depression, and how a lot of people think it's a constant doom and gloom feeling. For a little over a year now the lid to my coffee grinder was slightly broken so i had to stand and press it down whenever i made coffee. My pour over funnel had 2 cracks in it and wobbled on the pot. My kitchen sink had a broken piece on the bottom that made the whole faucet jangle when you touched it. Nothing was completely broken, but all those things were broken enough that it made using them inconvenient and annoying. That's what my depression feels like most of the time, not constant doom and gloom, but a frequent occurrence of things just not working as well as they should.

[superel-a]

its so easy to tell when people believe the miconceptions of characters . i just feel bad for the writers of said characters whos portrayal is getting disregarded for the stereotypes

[mgic881]

Creativity is beginning to appear as a miconception, along with everything

Humans have blurred the lines between hunting and creating. This could be to reinfornce the value of fundamentally oriented thought. Further, fundamentals are the gods’ purest forms, by human gaze at least.

I find it so often worth disregarding boundaries unknowingly inflicted by the victim.

I've had a rough couple of days at work and was looking to the movies for a bit of distraction, but I  hardly get around to actually watching anything nowadays, because trying  to make up my mind already takes up most of my time and energy. The movie can't be too weighty, because I'm looking for escapism, but it can't be too slight either, because then it won't capture my attention. I really miss having crushes on actors; picking movies to watch was so much easier then.

For instance, I used to have a such a crush on James McAvoy, dating back to the library scene in Atonement. (I never laid any claims to originality). Clearly, he's decided to take his career in a different direction since then, more power to him, but I'm feeling a bit bereft. Anyways, at the height of my infatuation I went as far as using a picture of him as a background for my laptop. Lord knows what possessed me to do that - I had made it to uni without putting up a single poster of a celebrity in my bedroom or writing names in heart shapes or anything in that fashion, because I'm generally just not the type to go in for that sort of thing. And indeed, I never did again.

The problem with laptop backgrounds is that one might forget about them temporarily at inopportune moments, eg. when bringing the laptop along for a group project. My colleague asked me if that was my boyfriend. I was mortified.

Here's the thing: I do believe, from the bottom of my heart, my colleague didn't say that to make fun of me. She was one of those frightfully efficient women, who's super straight-forward - you could always take her at face value (type jock with a golden heart, think Steve Rogers or Carol Danvers); also I just don't remember ever seeing her make fun of anyone, that just wasn't her style. It's entirely possible she really thought the guy on the photo might be my boyfriend, because she didn't recognize James McAvoy (he hadn't been in the X-Men movies yet) and she's a pure hearted creature full of innonence and faith with no concept of notions like "out of your league" and "relative sexual market value"; or maybe just open-minded enough to entertain the wildest ideas, because you never know, do you?

Whatever, I was duly mortified, sure, but I also find it kinda heart-warming, the longer I think about it. Some people apparently really do have hope for all of us.

(It is a really nice memory, actually. I cleared up the miconception about the laptop situation and was saved from further elaboration by the arrival of the fourth team member, who had picked flowers for us to pin in button holes, reason being the beginning of spring,  and I remember thinking how lovely they looked, the girls and the flowers).

Change

Do people really change or the just get better at hiding? or maybe they just go so above and beyond to pretend? change maybe hard, but it’s not impossible? list those things you wish to change about yourself and make it your to do list of your life. I myself want to change a lot of things about myself, but recently I’ve come to conclusion that no matter  how much changes you perform upon your current self it’ll never satisfy you as long as you’re going by other people and society standards. It’s inevitable that no one is perfect, and you’ll never manage to live along with people standards because it’s a manifistaion of an endless race. At some point you will realize that you only matter to yourself, and you will just accept yourself the you are, but the realization is not enough to change the way you look at yourself. It’ll need some practice. I’m not saying that people should not change because change and changing is the way it works, life I mean. But what I’m saying is don’t just change because “people think“ or “They will think“.

We all want to love be loved, but this is one of the hardest things to process over the changes that step down upon you. I myself am one of the people that everyone hates, not because I am a bad person but simply becasue I am always misunderstood. But guess what, this is what people do, they redirect your intentions, miconcepting your actions and acuse you silently of not being typical because you do not match the society standards. But let me tell you that, no one ever thinks the way you do, that’s why people misunderstand you. “كل يرى الناس بعين طبعه“

If you’re clumsy, be it, if you’re hyper, be it, if you’re a tomboy, be it. Someday I don’t know when, but someday, somehow you’ll find someone who loves you the way you are, someone who just gets you, someone that doesn’t judge or do any of those things other people do, not necessarily a love interest but someone you’ll find peace with.

There's this weird like. Miconception, I suppose, that the character development Jaime goes through throughout the books has made him a moral and compassionate person. Is Jaime more moral than he was at the beginning of AGoT? Yes. Is he more compassionate? Yes. But at the beginning of the story, and even through most of ASOS, Jaime had no compassion for anyone who wasn't Cersei or Tyrion (but especially Cersei). He had no morals, he didn't think twice about hurting and killing people, from children to full grown men caught off guard. By ADWD there is definitely improvement. He is less selfish, less committed to Cersei, but he is not yet a good person. He's trying, perhaps, but he is a long, long way away from being the type of knight he admired in Arthur Dayne and Brienne of Tarth.
