hi this is your local car enthusiast reminding you that if you want to drive in a sustainable way, the best thing you can do is maintain your current vehicle for as long as physically possible, and if it dies on you, buy a used car with decent-to-good gas mileage. if possible, learn manual.

EVs are usually powered with lithium ion batteries, which is of debatable environmental friendliness and rife with human rights abuses. needless to mention that the US already produces an insane amount of waste and people buying new, expensive EVs en masse will make this issue even worse. simply put, in the vast majority of cases, you, as an individual, will produce less waste and pollution by keeping your current vehicle as opposed to buying a new EV.  EV sales are dependent on well-intentioned people who care about the environment not researching what they’re buying. governments & companies are advertising them and making laws in favor of them because they’re making money, not because they’re good. do not fall victim to consumerism. they are banking on you not knowing any better.

I really dislike the fact they made Adam a sexist douchebag who demanded to have control over Lilith. It paints sexism as an innate, hereditary quality that men "can't help" but adapt.

If you really wanted to critizise christianity, focusing on how it teaches mysoginy to its followers could have been interesting. Children don't just come up with these concepts; they're taught by adults and society.

Viv could have written about how god taught Adam about hierachy and how he needed to be in charge because as a man, he was supposedly closer to god's true image than Lilith, a woman. How god had rigid ideas about who should be in charge because of his own arrogance, and how he tried to make women subservient to men because equality threatened his heavenly hierachies.

Of course he was against Adam and Eve eating the apple. It gave them the self- awareness and knowledge to question his ideas and reject him.

Hazbin could have been so interesting, but instead, Viv went with the "men are pigs, they're born like that and it's in their nature" route that only ends up affirming sexist believes.

A few words about Charlastor

Today I saw this post:

(Sorry, I can't post the link, Twitter doesn't want to work on my computer today :\ )

I will quote it here because it made me think again:

Currently, the closest person to Charlie is Vaggie, while Alastor invades her space, Vaggie and Alastor are opposed to each other, Vaggie wants to run a hotel for Charlie (her whole life is based on Charlie...), while Alastor has his own reasons (more on which later we don't fully know) and the two are portrayed as opposing forces pulling Charlie, Vaggie in one direction and Alastor in the other. Charlie's relationship with Alastor will deepen in future seasons (which the author wrote about, that Alastor and Charlie are the main characters of HH and what we see after the pilot), thus distancing it from Vaggie, which we see already in the first season (and what I wrote posts about ), that Charlie's relationship with Vaggie will surely deteriorate as it goes on, their quarrel over Vaggie's lie was, in my opinion, just the first glitch in their relationship (although not very well written in my opinion anyway), at some point in the story Charlie will had to choose between Vaggie and Alastor (and Niffty):

And considering the other screenshots, they are either forshadowings only to the fact that in future seasons Charlie will be getting closer to Alastor and away from Vaggie, or they may generally herald Alastor's victory over Vaggie, it depends, they are definitely confirmation that the further the seasons, the more Charlostor's content we will have than Chaggie's, the only question is which one will be the endgame?

Alastor stealing Charlie:

Significant bed scene, Vaggie wakes up without Charlie, alone, and Charlie is later in bed with Alastor on a heart-shaped pillow:

Besides, I read about Zoophobia and old sketches of Alastor and Autumn, and in my opinion Autumn reminds me a bit of Charlie... but in order.... First, let's go to Roo or Eve (if you prefer), well, I saw one Tik Tok and I definitely agree with it:

Charlie actually resembles Eve much more than Lilith, it always surprised me that Charlie has more father-like features both in appearance and character, and has none of Lilith's (especially when it comes to her ahem... physical qualities...), but I thought they just made her a typical "daddy's girl" and that's it... but if Eve is Charlie's mother and not Lilith..., we still had Lucifer's comment that he stole from Adam both wives, both Lilith and Eve, and although he married Lilith, he probably slept with Eve..., then the only question arises: why did Lilith decide to raise a child that was not her own?

Roo (Eve):

Charlie:

Lilith:

Lucifer:

Charlie and Eve (Roo) have exactly the same nose, the same lines under their eyes (Charlie in his demonic form has them) and the body sharp is the same, Lucifer by the way does not have a nose (:D), Lilith has a completely different nose, only Eve's nose matches Charlie's....

Moving on, we know that Alastor made a deal with someone, many people speculate that he made it with Lilith, but there are also people who believe that with Roo and I, although I also considered Lilith at the beginning, it was thrown in our faces this 7-year break (that Lilith has not been in Hell for 7 years and Alastor disappeared for 7 years), seems too obvious..., moreover, we know that Lilith had a contract with Adam (end of episode 8), and Adam did not know Alastor, so how could Alastor have an agreement with Lilith and be with her for these 7 years in heaven, if Adam didn't know him at all..., while Roo..., and this is where the issue of Zoophobia begins, i.e. Viv's first idea, where most of the HH characters came from:

In Zoophobia we had the so-called KayCee, i.e. chaos itself and the main antagonist, interestingly KayCee liked apples (a reference to Eve and her picking an apple from the Garden of Eden, the first sin?):

KayCee had white hair, horns, and the original Alastor was in love with her:

So KayCee is nothing other than the prototype of Eve.

Moving on, the original Alastor was also obsessed with Autumn, the character of Zoophobia, a blonde deer:

Autumn is a very helpful and good-hearted character and: ,,Although outwardly he appears mature and rational, in reality he is extremely insecure, suffering from low self-esteem. Autumn continues to seek recognition and thanks from others for a little help from him, showing that he needs the appreciation of others. Autumn is also very sensitive and short-tempered: in the webcomic, when Rusty teases him about the little antlers, Autumn explodes in anger and violently scolds him."

Doesn't this in some way resemble the description of Charlie..., a girl with a good heart, wanting to help everyone, and also sometimes quick-tempered (when, for example, heaven rejects her or when Susan pisses her off :D )

So we have Eve, who used to be KayCee, and Charlie, who has a lot of Autumn in her, and if it turns out that Charlie is actually Eve's daughter, Charlie will be a combination of KayCee and Autumn, considering her appearance and character traits are taken from both, two characters that the original Alastor was crazy about ;)

And finally, some shots of Charlie and Alastor:

And remember about Niffty and KeeKee, they are very important, after all they are in the HH logo :)

KeeKee, a pet belonging to Charlie and Niffty, Alastor's ,,pet" ;)

Sorry for the long post again, but I just can't keep it short :D

Thank you for reading and have a nice day, evening or night :)

I’ve asked Palestinian Americans who have also drawn parallels between themselves and the First Nations Indigenous peoples what exactly they knew about them or their histories. Given that I’m Canadian and my first work clinicals were on Coast Salish reservations it’s a topic close to my heart. I asked them if they knew the differences between First Nations, Métis and Inuit. They didn’t. I asked if they knew about the six nations. They didn’t. I asked if they knew about the the Proclamation of 1763. They didn’t. The Sioux wars? No. Trail of Tears? Nope. They had zero knowledge on any of the nation’s social organization, spiritual beliefs or traditional ways of life. I already know you have no idea about the symbolic meaning of that headdress or that they were worn by Sioux, Blackfeet, Crow, Plains Cree, and Cheyenne people... And I don’t know whether to laugh or cry that he’s been drawn in a grass skirt? (the men wore leggings). Indigeneity is also not a matter of genetics. It’s defined by historical continuity on a specific common place of origin/land. There is a distinct social, economic, linguistic, cultural and political system which predate colonial societies. The differences just within North America are so widespread it’s impossible to draw those kinds of comparisons… I’m begging you to learn the bare minimum about the people and the histories you’re appropriating.

Adam Redesign

Outfit ideas doodles by: @midnighthybrid1

Shows off his tattoos of his name & his wife Eve.

Adam & Lute sees eachother as friends or co worker.

The golden claws are his rings that was gifted by Lute.

I combined the outfit because I cannot decide which one.

His hair is based off Greg and he’s black or Jewish idk if Eden is from Jew or Africa.

He would be a chill guy and he’s a rockstar in heaven but a vice general in my rewrite Adina is the leader of the exorcist. He doesn’t cuss that often his fans looked up to him.

When he saw Elvis Presley or the other band he became obsessed with rock as he became a rockstar he’s excited and tell every musician coming to heaven that he said that their music inspired him to become a rock star.

He’s was Charlene caretaker when Charlene is born,created by god's hands Adam been staying in heaven about a year as he takes care of Charlene he see her very boring but Charlene see him as a father Adam gets to attached to her when he is holding her.When Charlene grew she still see him as a father figure and Adam began to see her as a daughter by supporting her dreams.

[maxdibert]

Frankly, I don’t even think Severus owed it to care about Lily, let alone James. After all, she was someone who deep down believed James’ abuse was no big deal. Because if she had thought it was as bad as she made a very big, very public show of making out that she did, she wouldn’t have dated him a year later and then married him (regardless of the friendship being over)

I don’t think he owed anything to any of the Potters either, but his concern for Lily is understandable given their history and the fact that she probably represents the only happy moments of his childhood, which is why he developed such a strong emotional dependence on her. I mean, for me, someone who dates my abuser knowing they’re an abuser gets zero respect from me. But in Snape’s case, we’re talking about a very dependent relationship on his part, so it makes sense.

What I was trying to clarify is that no one owes anything to a person who has actively abused them. You don’t owe them respect, empathy, or compassion. Saying that Snape should have cared about James’s fate is like telling a woman who’s a victim of domestic violence that she should care about her abuser—like, wtf?

Mike kept his eyes open while kissing El. Like that's- that's canon?????? That HAPPENED!

Sometimes I need to just like restart and remember the first time I learned that when it was like oh it's CANON canon. Like at first I was like "what a cool direction they've started going in season 4 that they planted one or two seeds for prior" and that shit is like "no bestie this has been a 4 season story not a one season story that was hinted at" and OOOOOOOOOH.

Mike kissed El eyes OPEN??????? That's REAL??????

And it's the fact that it's not super noticeable too. Making it not so much for us and more-so just what Finn or Shawn and The Duffers felt he would do in the moment. Because like it isn't super visible at all. It's from a distance, it's in low light - you can't really see it. But it's happening. Because the story exists as a real thing for the characters and not for us. They're gonna do things in the background that are being done because that character would do that not because it's important information for us to have in that moment.

And this is one of them. There are lots of other things pointing to his queerness. At the time I found out about this moment, I already knew he was queer. It had been adequately conveyed to me. This is not something you would see on a watch in which you're collecting it as information. This is just there because it's true. This is just there because audience be damned, it's what Mike would do in that situation. The truth of his character is that he would keep his eyes open during that kiss, don't cut it because you can't see it. It isn't for you too see it. It's for it to be true.

[butterflysonnets]

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

I Really Don't Have Hope For Eve If She Appears

I am going to be honest I really think the way often in non-Christian media Eve is reduced to a straw submissive wife to use as a tool to bash Christianity. People say Christianity hate Eve but in reality that's only certain Christians who miss the point she wasn't to blame but Adam who did nothing to stop Eve from being mislead and just followed her lead. Also again why would Eve even like Lucifer since it's implied he seduced her as well because she went to point fingers at the snake for lying to her. Seriously, I would love instead of being seduced by Eve she actually despises Lucifer to this day just like how in depictions Lilith despises Adam. It would be a parallel with one another where Lilith has animosity for Adam due to their rifth while Eve has no love for Lucifer due to him condemning her husband and her descendants to being cursed.

I know the theory is she is going to be Roo or is impersonating Lilith, but either way I think they are going to botch it real good by not acknowledging how Lucifer screwed her over. And if Cain appears they are going to make it so that he's her son with him or something. She is going to be made the villain for lashing out at him and we all will treat her as a harpy who needs to get over what he did. I would love to have an adaptation where Eve despises Lucifer for the good reason and her animosity towards him is justified. And again I don't want her to be a helpless abused wife because that angle is bs when in the Bible showed she had a backbone and didn't appreciate being thrown under the bus. Again I want more depictions of Eve with more of a backbone and her relationship with Adam could heal as well. It would be the subversion of them always fighting or divorced.

[romanceclub-confessionss]

Confession:

Here I come again talking about LI favouritism (by authors) and I have to say that Chasing you 2 is a record (for now, I'll counting the rest of books later). I made an account with diamond choices only to find out the amount (with this last update counting), I'm not surprised, but:

Eve: 5 scenes

Ellia: 5 scenes

Sam: 6 scenes

Rachel: 6 scenes

Ezra: 8 scenes

Alexander: 11 F*CKING SCENES, like, twice as much as one LI! Eve and Ellia have to put together their scenes to get close and even that wouldn't help!!!

That's apart from the free choices to increase stats, which of course his are also more frequent. For the love of everything nice, try to disguise it a little ma'am!!

Also, I need more scenes with Ellia and Eve!!!
