One thing that I find really aggravating about people who have never lived in Florida talking about hurricanes is when they're all "WELL JUST LEAVE FLORIDA NOW" bro do you know how long it takes to get out of say, southern Florida? Hours and hours and hours. Florida is so big! My family lives on the east coast closer to the GA border so it's simpler for them to leave. If you live in the south of the state it takes AGES on a good day! Evacuations come down to whether or not you are in a flood/surge prone area and have been told to evacuate. It's actually better to stay put if you haven't been told to go so the roads are clear for those who HAVE been told because unless you take back roads, there's (1) way out to up north pretty much. Impacts vary widely depending on elevation, how far from shore you are, etc. Like, in Saint Augustine, where I lived, the downtown is below sea level so during a bad thunderstorm it flash floods about a foot or so. You don't wanna be there if you're told to evacuate (Hurricane Matthew made this clear). But not every single area is like that. It can make a big difference for people who live right by the water just to go a little inland. I lived in Florida for 5 years and I would never do it again, but it does bug me when people outside the state think they know everything about the it. Not every person in Florida is the guy on his sailboat saying that God will save him. A lot of weird and frustrating stuff comes out of Florida, I get it, but there are actually normal people there who know what they're doing, and this is not even to get into the people who should evacuate and can't. They deserve our sympathy too.

" Orym shuts down the conversation when he brings up his murdered family--"

Listen. Otohan did a Test Run to see if Vax would show up to save Keyleth. a test run, a poke at the bear to see if their large plan to destroy the world as they know it would work, and murdered people in the process. this is level one. level zero of the big plan. and they murdered innocent people indiscriminately.

'oh but they have a point! the gods suck!' It Aint About The Gods!!! the People Killed the People!! just to see a glimpse of a demigod based on a measly hypothesis. the RV and all them don't care about innocent people, they don't care about anyone but themselves!!

that's why their point should not be considered! Hate the gods as much as ya want, Orym's family died for a thought experiment.

Had shower thoughts about IBO in a hotel bathroom so I need to have a quick rant about all the dipshits who hate season 2 because they think Orga “just got stupid” or whatever the fuck.

So I decided to make a compilation of all the adults that tried to deceive/use/betray Tekkadan throughout the show

(Note: i didn’t include Nobliss Gordon because I forgot and the app only lets you include 10 images. Also including McGillis because he’s an adult even tho I consider him an Iron Blooded Orphan (but that’s a rant for another time))

Like, is it REALLY that much of a surprise for an orphan child soldier who gets involved with the mob at 16 to want to financially set his family for life by taking the shortest avenue possible? Growing up, he never met a single adult who didn’t view him as sub-human trash or a literal tool, other than Nadi (the mechanic). His first actual role model was a fucking mobster that commanded a ship full of wives. It’s an absolute wonder he lasted as long as he did as an interplanetary political figure.

In his experience, adults will always try to take advantage of him and his family because that’s just how the world works. It’s only a matter of time before the next adult that works with them will try to screw them over and get them killed. He wants to protect those he loves, and to an orphaned child soldier, the only way people won’t fuck with you is if you’re the literal King of Mars.

This poor kid had the weight of an entire family resting on his shoulders and the pressure to give Mika a place he belongs. AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN. WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING AT SIXTEEN BECAUSE MY BIGGEST CONCERNS WERE OVERWATCH COSMETICS AND AO3 FICS (I know he’s 18 in season 2 but that mfer did not have the chance to mature between the rapidly expanding Tekkadan responsibilities and the Half-metal trade moving to Teiwaz and, by extension, them).

Also, it’s made painfully obvious that Biscuit fulfills a crucial part in Tekkadan’s decision making. He’s the voice in Orga’s head that tells him he’s going too far or he’s forgetting the rest of the family. It makes his death and the inertia they build towards the fatal endgame all the more tragic.

I’m sure there’s other reasons people dislike season 2, but this is, by far, the point I’ve seen stressed the most when people sight their preference of season 1. I, personally, LOVE season 2 BECAUSE of Orga’s failures. He and Mika easily take the spot of my favorite shonen protagonists because it’s so easy to be swept up in the genre of being the scrappy underdogs that always come out on top by sheer force of will and a LOT of luck. But this is the first Shonen I’ve seen that ends with the protagonists getting utterly fucked because of their inability to not push on and move forward. In a way, it feels like a subversion of the genre and it makes it so much more gripping.

But that’s just my two cents. I’m not denying that Orga is an imbecile, by the way. Look, he says it right here.

Like I said, I was only half joking about it being cat week on here. I decided to have Kaine and Aracely get a cat in late 2020 or early 2021 in the AU (winter) (so, when Aracely is 21 and Kaine is ~32)

The cat's name is Donut and he's just like Kaine! (sort of)

Okay wait some of my posts are wrong tho because as much as li lianhua likes alone time and simple productive pursuits he... does not just find fulfillment feeding himself and others at all? He loves complication like mr "im learning how to cook" cool but you also fake raised TWO people from the dead just for the drama of it all. "Well I can't NOT butt in and announce everything in the most dramatic way possible" how does this find the corpse my guy. Fulfilled some weird fake resurrection pact for a manual. "I'm a ghost drifting searching for my brother's body" ur a poltergeist and a menace. You are ALWAYS in the thick of it. "I've left behind fame and fortune for a simpler life" THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL FAMOUS? Incurable. Di Feisheng has his fucking number.
