#VERY wrong

Literally every fanfiction in which Feyd-Rautha survived the duel...

[ghost-bxrd]

Is Jason struggling hard trying to deal with envy that Tim has taken his family, his place in the court, his dragon? Of course, but at the end of the day Tim never owed Jason’s memory any respect or loyalty. But the egg he stayed up late whispering his hopes and notions of friendship and happiness and protection, patient and gentle for years, despite everyone telling him it was a lost cause. His egg –now a dragon– has forsaken the only person to dedicate themself wholeheartedly to its safekeeping. So Jason might eventually get to a point of understanding and tolerance with Tim but the little dragon must have felt him off in the distance and given up on him. It is the only way the pieces fit together. How can Jason accept that? He never faltered in his belief in his egg but as soon as he seemed weak it discarded him for someone easier to love.

It certainly seems that way to Jason, yeah :/

(Jason has no way of knowing that Robin hatched only a few weeks after his perceived death, and that the little dragon was inconsolable for many months to the point of near starvation, and that Dick and Bruce were so wrung out about Robin’s impending loss that Tim snuck into the dragon caves to try and coax the baby dragon to eat something, and that Robin didn’t just latch onto the first best person he saw, no, Robin felt that Tim came the closest to Jason’s kindness and uplifting spirits for the first time in months….)

I feel we do not get enough out of the fact the two straight up mad scientists of the Forsaken are Aginor (biology) and Lanfear (physics).

(Graendal and Semirhage are not mad scientists, they're walking medical ethics violations)

Why do you think Makoto using the NWP was the wrong thing to do? The despair states class 77-b were in was objectively bad and self destructive and removing them so they back to normal should be a good thing. Also I wouldn’t say what Makoto is doing with the NWP isn’t more brainwashing, it’s deprogramming.

I've talked a bit about my hatred for NWP and how it is used in DR2 here, but it really comes down to this:

Forcibly removing people's memories to make them better people is not the correct answer.

Forcibly removing people's memories and reverting them back to a previous state and then rewriting over those memories with new ones is not the right answer.

Especially when you take DR3 into account and that Makoto etc. didn't know about the brainwashing video or when the Remnants fell to despair, they're just making best guess scenarios and wiping out all of their time at Hope's Peak, which effectively means they are wiping out their memories of real Chiaki and replacing them with DR2!therapybot!Chiaki, which is NOT the correct answer, no matter how you slice it.

The end of DR3 is very good about this - you don't make people better by removing the bad thing. You don't make things better by removing the memories of your past, even if they're memories you regret or hate or don't want to ever address again ever. Those memories are still there. They're still important.

Removing memories is not an effective or even good way of deprogramming people who are brainwashed.

Makoto's luck kicked into full gear with all the stuff that happened in DR2 and the shutdown and getting the Remnants as we see them in DR3, which is not a result of them having their memories removed. They still have their memories and are able to recover.

And yeah. Brainwashing is maybe a stretch (it's Junko's word for it, after all) - but they are reaching into a group of people's heads and mucking around with their brains and making choices for who they want them to be and how they want them to be that way (no, no, you can't be Remnants, so we will remove everything that led to that development and make you into someone we want by meddling with your brain)....

Sounds a bit like brainwashing.

Not the way Junko did it, for sure.

Still sounds a bit like brainwashing.

Girl's got a point.

HOW MANY NMOVIES ARE THERE I WATCHED 18

I hold firm by my idea that Shockwave's time with GHOST is partially to do with why he changed his opinions on the terrans (of course some of it is plot magic, possibly most of it if I'm wrong), because it makes sense to me that Dr Meridian had been tinkering with said mind control technology on Shockwave as a primary test subject. Like. That would be horrible, but it makes sense considering the other shit we saw GHOST and Mandroid pull on cybertronians.

The life of two himbos

[emptymanuscript]

Eeehhwwwgggh, it got worse.

Horror’s basic distinction of life versus death is a binary opposition that allows for no complexity: one is either dead or alive.

Truby, John. The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works (p. 24). Picador. Kindle Edition.

And hoo boy, no. That is not correct.

Again, anybody with less clout and knowledge, 1 star and DNF. At this point I'm probably going to refuse to give more than 3 stars because even if he does pull it out, he's presenting things in an ass backwards enough way that I think it will do more harm than good.

How do you write the brilliance of the anatomy of story and then go on to write this drivel however long later??

What the hell, man???

i am not imune to swordfish propaganda

[random-gamer1942]

I was gonna rank the sbg main characters and joke about it being an objective ranking and everyone else being morally wrong, but then I realized that no matter how I ranked them, I disagreed. So instead, here's why I love all the characters!

Logan's arc of learning to stand up for himself felt really good. Although I feel the least of a personal connection to him, I respect the hell outta the kid

Taylor is such a fucking sweetheart. The way she always knows the right thing to say melts my heart every time. Her helping calm down Ben specifically is so wholesome bro

Tylor may look like an ass on the surface, but he probably cares most about the others. Also, his impaling has gotta be in the top 5 moments in media that effected me most at the moment

Ben, for me specifically, is kinda relatable as hell. I don't talk about this, but I used to have semi-frequent outbursts as a kid. And having interests that 'don't line up with how you look' also is something I've had quite a bit. Seeing him be such a gentle giant reminds me of the person I hope I am to my friends

Ashlyn's antisocial behavior hits kinda close to home, and She kinda reminds me of a very good friend of mine. I really respect how she's clearly struggling all the time, but still decided to become the leader and keeps the others 'in line'. Also, as someone who does Taekwondo, I love her go-to roundhouse kick -> spinning hook kick combo

Aiden is so fucking unhinged, I love it. He says exactly what he's thinking, does exactly what he wants, and doesn't care about what others think. Even better? When he doesn't. When he decides to not do one of those things, or to even help someone (Ashley), even if it goes against how he'd usually want to act. Because what I love most about him (and why he just might be my favorite character), is that deep down, he really does care about these people more than anything

(Sidenote, I keep misremembering Ashlyn as Ashley, Tylor as Tyrone, and Logan as Gordon. To my knowledge I've not written them like this anywhere, but if I do accidentally do so, you'll know who I'm talking abt)

Bud loves to be on my desk, walking around, laying down when I am on Webex. I have to bat her tail out of the way, it’s both funny and embarrassing. I was cleaning out a drawer and found this, and thought a little cat seat would help calm her down.

I was wrong.

[ask-brad-bakshi]

you seem like the kinda guy who has a thing for dads. yknow, middle aged, receding hairline, wears a lot of flannel and probably is very proud of his expensive barbeque shit. you know the type.

Completely wrong. And dumb. Where is your evidence. Please stop
