Visto Un heroe debil (T1).

Oh wow. Me ha gustado mucho aunque a veces es un poco flipada en las peleas, pero es el sello de los coreanos.

Trata temas como el bullying, la amistad, las decepciones de manera magistral. La verdad que los coreanos son expertos en tratar el bullying de manera intensa.

Los primeros 4 capítulos son "felicidad" con los protagonistas y los últimos 4 puff "brutales" pero son necesarios para conseguir esta serie.

Lo bueno es que este mes estrenan la segunda temporada :).

I asked you nicely. I asked you to stop.

Some things I noticed from the new Sleep Token song (Caramel).

Vessel seems to be talking about behind the mask instead of lore, from what I interpreted from the song. Some of the lyrics sound more personal then lore. Such as ‘shouting out my real name’, and so many other lyrics.

It seems like he’s talking about the toxic side of the fanbase, the ones who have leaked their real identities, addresses, birth certificates, locations, and much more personal information. It feels like he’s speaking personally, and out of distress and anger — Which is SO valid and SO understandable.

To the ‘fans’ who have done this to the band, and to Vessel. Please listen to the lyrics, please don’t leak their information, don’t try to find out personal things about them, RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY.

Sleep Token is anonymous for a reason. Appreciate the music they make, the characters they’ve created, and the lore and creativity they put into what they do. Stop trying to go into their personal lives, they’ve shared and will share what they want to, WHEN they want to.

What if Bella smelled completely neutral to vampires? Not delicious, not like food, but not repulsive or sick either? (except I guess she smells the same to Edward because I assume her not smelling delicious = her being crushed by a van and not meeting any other vampires.)

I'm sorry, anon, beautifully, what happens is a lot of Edward angst.

Remember Edward smells her first, he smells the smell, it's so bad he loses his mind. The family wonders what the fuck happened. And then... Bella is nearly hit by a van.

She gets to meet Dr. Cullen in the hospital, and Carlisle thinks to himself "huh". Maybe, after so many centuries, he can't even discern what smells "good" or "bad" anymore, he's so immune that this girl that caused Edward to lose his goddamn mind is kind of mid as far as scents go.

She's just... bland. Doesn't even smell edible, really.

Edward's... a little confused, but takes it in stride as Carlisle's theory is likely right: he's grown so immune to the scent of blood that it means almost nothing to him anymore. Good for you Carlisle.

Then comes the rest of the family.

Bella has been invited over by Edward with almost no notice, Rosalie has fled the scene with Emmett, the rest of the family is there to greet her in the most stressful situation for them imaginable.

She arrives--

Esme feels like she's hallucinating. Bella just... doesn't smell. Well, she smells, but she smells like cardboard. It's not unpleasant, it's just meh. Esme hears a choir of angels singing. Her love for her son is so much that she is now perfectly immune to his girlfriend/the love of his life's scent. Esme is not in danger of accidentally eating Bella.

It's a miracle.

Jasper is very very confused. Is he just... blanking out? Is Edward's desire for Bella's scent so overpowering that it somehow makes it weaker? She doesn't even just smell bad for a human, she just... doesn't smell. Jasper isn't interested. At all. This has never happened to him.

Jasper also counts it as a minor miracle and feels very grateful.

Alice doesn't know what's going on but decides not to care. This will not get in the way of her and Bella's friendship and will even prove to be for the best while she's in this pesky human stage. Victory.

It's not until Rosalie and Emmett meet Bella at the baseball game that it's revealed that the Emperor Has No Clothes.

Rosalie and Emmett both point out, quite vocally, that Bella smells like tree bark. What the fuck is up with that? And you, Edward? You're into this.

The illusion is shattered and Edward realizes... no one else is smelling what he's smelling. They're not even smelling remotely what he's smelling. And yes, that's surely a good thing, but she should also smell sort of good to everyone even if she's not their singer? Right?

Edward is not into tree bark!

(Bella is oblivious to all of this, per Edward, she smells like black tar heroin.)

Edward is genuinely distressed about this.

However, before it can distract him too much, the bad thing occurs: the other vampires are coming and SHIT FUCK BELLA'S RIGHT HERE FUCK. They do their rapid disguise plan, hoping for the best...

Edward watches in disbelief as these threee genuinely don't realize Bella is human. Sure, they've disguised her... but she's standing right there, there's even a breeze that moves her scent to her. They stare at her for a moment and one of them asks, "Why does she smell like tree bark?"

Edward is losing his fucking mind.

However, before he can get too distracted by that, James eventually does realize this girl is human and decides he doesn't care if the girl smells like tree bark, he will kill her for sport anyway because he'd love to go up against the Cullens and fuck up their shit.

Canon proceeds.

And proceeds.

And proceeds.

And proceeds.

TL;DR

Bella is never made aware that she smells mid, by everyone except Edward, and it makes no difference to the plot except that on the side Edward is byronically angsting about the fact that Bella smells mid to everyone except him.

I totally get Dr Robby's frustration with the parents of the measles kid. First you didn't vaccinate your kid against a fucking preventable disease. Second you're not letting the doctors perform a simple procedure to SAVE YOUR KIDS LIFE. Because you READ ON GOOGLE that he could be paralysed? EVEN IF that was true, which it isn't, would rather have a kid who's ALIVE but paralysed or a kid WHO IS DEAD because you decided you didn't want an autistic kid (and vaccines don't cause autism and even if they did, there's nothing wrong with kids with autism. In fact I'd rather have an autistic child than a child who's dead because of a disease that was preventable and I'd rather have a child with autism than a child who's spreading diseases like a disease fountain and putting other kids at risk because I didn't get him vaccinated) LIKE USE YOUR BRAIN.

I get it that the parents scared. That you're scared for your child and the life that he might live with a disability but if you're concerned enough with "life" and "oh every being has a soul" bullshit to stop women from getting abortion then think of this has preventing abortion after your child is already out and alive in the world.

I actually want to address this a bit. I was in a kinda bad place last night when I wrote this. i need to make this VERY clear.

blocking the tags doesnt help, the fact that people out there romantize my trauma just sucks.

Addressing these two comments I got.

I, under no means, need people to "cater to my needs" I would have to block 99% of the things I see if I cared about that. I am simply sharing how I feel and how it damages me. I do not need your pity or accommodation. So, bro, if my opinion bothers you, just block it and move on.

If I bother you, just block it instead of hiding behind the anonymous mask.

I also want to make it clear if this is your way of dealing with your trauma, THIS IS IN NO WAY DIRECTED AT YOU.

Thank you for all the support. If any of y'all need anything, my ask box is always open. Dont let losers behind a screen tell you how to deal with your trauma. I stand by what I said.

NOTE: I am a survivor myself, I am NOT trying to "limit art" I am just pointing out my problem with it.

you know what.

I am so fucking tired of rape fics. I am a sexual assault survivor and you sexulise rape. why. why do I work so hard to get better and it all get ruined by some horny asshole just like last time. THESE CHARATERS DONT WANT TO RAPE YOU. rape is horrible, its NOT sexy. its traumatizing. why do you keep talking about it and writing about it. STOP MINIMIZING MY PAIN WITH YOUR DERANGED FANTASIES.

Simon Riley isnt a rapist

Leon Kennedy isnt a rapist

and belive it or not Jonathan Crane ISNT A FUCKING RAPIST

dont tell me not to kink shame

do not tell me to skip it

you cannot tell me that my trauma doesn't matter

STOP WRITING RAPE FICS

Opinions on ShadowVanilla or whatever it's called?

Do not argue in the comments if someone disagrees.

[prettytanii]

Ok but srsly putting the fact that someone writes smut against them in an argument is so corny especially when you're the one who heavily dabbles in it yourself and it's not just the other person like no, you're not slick for gaslighting someone especially after the person finally snapped at your weird ass behavior like please cry about it I don't care if you cry in a corner abt it if you wanna bitch abt it take it to my dms because I will be dammed if I don't side with someone I've known longer and have more respect for

So Silco, Vander and Felicia were friends. The relationship between Silco and Vander crumbled after Felicia's death on the bridge (s1 ep1), but at this point the girls are already quite grown up. Could it be that Silco and Vander have been involved in their upbringing all these years? That's why they approach Vander so calmly on the bridge - they know him. Could Powder have thrown herself into Silco's arms in ep3 because she somehow remembered him and by that time he was the only member of her family?

Something you need to remember is that journalistic photographers are still artists at heart. When you are providing a source of information that is to be seen as "the truth" you are going to frame things to look a certain way.

You will publish the ones that look like what you want. The framing of Luigi Mangione's transportation is incredibly evocative of paintings of Jesus being arrested. It also (not so) coincidentally is often the framing of a hero being captured for the greater good.

This is ON PURPOSE. Do not discredit the artist by calling it a mistake. This was on purpose. The artist supports him and is framing him as a hero.

No matter how much corporate news may attempt to drown out the support for Mangione, artists always have the ear of the people. A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it?

I urgently needed to talk about the last scene between Sonic and Shadow in the third movie, because I think what they did is simply beautiful. 🥹💙❤️🖤

Before Sonic 3 came out, there was debate over who would be the one to change Shadow's mind since at that point, there was no solid indication that Amy or Rouge would appear. I was a fan of the idea that maybe they'd have Jojo be the one to remind Shadow of Maria's wish, since she was an established character from the start and fits the profile like a cheerful, caring, and optimistic girl.

However, seeing that in the end they made it so that Sonic was the one who talked to Shadow and convinced him to fight to save the world, surprised me and at the same time fascinated me infinitely more. Because they managed to make the change organic by connecting it with narrative elements that were also raised and developed from the beginning; Sonic's grief over losing Longclaw and his paternal relationship with Tom, making this moment something special and significant for both of them:

It is a moment of connection and understanding between two people who have lost the person who was once the most important in their lives, who loved them when no one else did and gave them a home,

That for a long time they had to deal alone with the pain and guilt of having been the trigger for their deaths but, as they emphasize in the film, While Sonic was able to find a family that would love him and help him get better and cope with that pain, Shadow was alone and the only person he interacted with after awakening, only manipulated him in order to fulfill his revenge.

Until this moment, where Shadow finally meets someone who not only knows his pain perfectly but has also learned to move forward and not let it corrupt him even in the most difficult moments, and who in turn motivates him to do the same.

All of this contributes fantastically to their connection, as it is no longer just that their personalities and ways of acting are opposite, but also the way in which their stories correlate and at the same time distinguish each other, creating a new and emotional parallelism between them: They are two sides of the same coin, two extremes that ultimately come together to bring out the best in each other.

Which is beautifully reflected throughout the final battle. Sonic and Shadow display effortless synergy, supporting each other, backing each other up, and even casually joking around.

A good reminder of the great chemistry and dynamism they used to have years ago. Unlike now that they make it seem like Shadow barely tolerates Sonic, before they both had a friendly rivalry where they respected each other, valued each other and helped each other without problem. And I'm really glad the movie brought back some of that dynamic and reflected it in such a natural and fun way, and I hope that continues for future SCU projects instead of sticking to the current direction.

And I'm not just saying this because I'm a fan of Sonadow, but because I genuinely believe that this is the most natural direction for their relationship after all this time.

Well, definitively this needs to be checked out…

Actually I’m quite surprised nobody else has come into this pairing before. Sure, TF fandom has a serious lack of straight pairings (canon and fanon) and Elita is taken as Optimus’s romantic partner since the very beginning of the show in the 80s cartoon. However, it’s a fact they are almost antagonists in IDW comics.

On the other hand, Shocklita has become quite notorious after TF-One. Yes, in the cartoon, Shockwave’s logic circuits crash after learning there are women alive, but TF-One helps a lot to create this pairing  due the interaction between them both (basically Elita punching his only eye, yet being collaborative with each other). I buy this as crack pairing, but I don’t know if it could work… at least in the TFOne universe.

But regarding to Starlita, the thing is Scream’s very first interaction with her is like this…

And it’s quite surprising nobody else has taken a different look to those two. Perhaps b/c the fandom also has a thing against pairing Scream with female characters, but you cannot deny this scene is very suggestive (yet toxic, I know).

So I don’t think this comes from nowhere. Actually, there is lore for them.

(In IDW she's very different).

Also, in TF One, Elita is prisoner of him, but he treats her with more respect. Also, at this point, Scream is not a Decepticon; in fact, B127 sees him like a legendary hero! TFOne Starscream was the leader of the Elite-Guard, the ones that fought against the Quinns along the Primes! So, I hardly could say he’s a villain… not yet, at least.

Elita doesn’t seem to be aware of those facts, but B127 knows those “legendary heroes”, and she has no reason to think otherwise. And in certain deleted scenes,  we see Scream working together with Elita, B127 and Orion in a rescue mission under Iacon. Portraying Scream as a coward (something I could argue in other continuities, too) was added afterwards.

So yeah, G1 Cartoon Starlita and TFONE Starlita aren’t exactly the same. Perhaps it could work.

**And regarding TFP Starscream and Arcee. I also ship them because I find there are material for that. Sure, they seem to hate each other because of the reasons we know, but the fact is TFP Scream seems to be oddly obsessed with her, and he claims he wants to kill her yadda-yadda… But he has many chances for that, but never does; in fact, he even saves her life. To say the least, I think he respects her, and she hates him on a personal level because something that actually happens in wars… not because he wanted to hurt her, unlike Airiachnid. 

Im sat. Explain Starlita right now 😤 I want to understand the appeal

I’m gonna be real, there is no logical appeal to it that has to do with the shows of the lore. It is a made-up ship that came out of the blue…

I have absolutely no lore, no videos or any interactions between them that says ‘yummy ship’ but it’s how they would interact that gets me. If they did interact someday, it would be like Arcee and Starscream in TFP but Elita wouldn’t crash out.

Starscream is a somewhat egotistical and cowardly decepticon while Elita is a stoic and strict general. Elita is able to keep Starscream in his place when he’s saying some delusional stuff.

When the war is over, the two would definitely have some tension. It’s a little like Enemies to Lovers combined with Strangers to Lovers. They’re both the second in command ( I think ) and their opposing personality wise.

Personally I like the dynamic more than how they would go mid-war. It’s a fun rarepair!

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
