#but my theory was proven true: just read and have fun and thats all that matters

[hanzajesthanza]

i finished narrenturm, and strangely enough, it felt like i and the story were in sync. just when i was beginning to feel bored, it picked up. just when i was feeling overwhelmed with action, it slowed down. just as i felt i wished something magical would happen, it did, and just as when i felt a need to return to the mundane, it did. a ��wish and you will receive” reading experience!

[geah-i-am]

YOOOO LETS DIGEST SAMS WINNEBAGO TRAILER!! 

1. sO MANY HATS!! Guy seems to just has the one, but Sam looks to have about 14 of them!! He must loose his hats often, or they become damage in a way that could get people to ask questions.. ....if you look at the book, Sam has some crinkling to his hat like Guys, so maybe in s2, we’ll get to see Sam’s breaking point!! MAYBE MULTIPLE!!

2. Seems he has been on Gluff Bluff for a while as he could of fucked up his engine from bursting through his fence crash barriers, and probly sold his tiers for grub money cuz he’s not goen anywhere. Even gave some flowers a bed cuz I meann.... why not???? might as welll put the space to good use, and it’s something to talk to.

3. He stole those do not trespass signs. No doubt. Why would he have so many if they didn’t get suck in his trailers grill from his previous escapades. 

4.  its not shown in the pick, but he has pulled up a chair towards the cliff with a telescope, presumably to study the Zoo’s security system and plan out his route. Annnnnd possibly to creep in though families windows. To see what it’s like... you know...........to....... have a family...🙃

5. His “house” number is 8351, which when I looked it up, the numbers symbolize 

“ the message relates to the field of money and work and says that It is worthy of respect if you managed to find yourself in work and are putting your heart and soul into it. This is the basis of a well-being not only on the material but also on any other level of life.

which is true, Sam’s line of work takes your absolute dedication as your life is on the line, but the pay out is pretty guaranteed and, with how much he makes with one delivery, that’s enough to travel and fund his dream of finding his mom.

6. Now for the inside!! For the obvious, He’s gotta fresh batch of clean hats ripe on the tree, the golden spatula from spongebob (even gotta stopper on the back omgg), cute babey egg mug, a jar of... something,, suger??, and its proven he does eat something other than geah and its pb+j

7. The map has....42 pins?? Most likely indicating the eatery's that dish out geah (tho idk why some of them are in the water...) and it also seems he’s already set out his route for him and Mr. Jenkins, and even when met with detours he was still able to direct them in the general direction of Meepville. (Except in Goat. Sam has been cool with every detour up until goat showed up and all he could focus on was getting the fuck outta dodge. Guys the one that can improves and think of something on the spot. after they came back from the mountain and on the bus, that's when they were right back on track, as Sam brought out his Stovepipe Junction tour guide. (or maybe he stole it some how from the bus stop idk))

8. He’s also collected a massive stockpile of maps, 6 boxes full. With a little plant thats not getting enough sun in the corner. 

10. He’s knitted a very long scarf to keep him worm 

11. From what we can see, about 8 vanity license plats for his various aliases, but the top two are what draw my attention. If you piece them together they read Season 1-2, Debbie 324

I’m pretty sure this is a hint to the name of Sam’s mom as the only two diners we get to see the name of have some variation of a white lady D name: Donna’s and then Diane’s Diner

plus,, if Guys mom’s name is Karen, the most logical step from here would be...

Deborah

Not sure what 3 24 is tho,, could be the age Sam was abandoned and how old Debbie was at the time. Before the 1970, the average mean age for first child mothers was 24.3. And considering Sam’s earliest memory of his mother was her making breakfast, and the age from which a persons first memory can be retrieved is usually at the age of three, I’m gonna guess this is the case until proven other wise,,

fun fact: 324 is the luckiest number in numerology, and it symbolizes your on the right track to achieving your goals, regardless of setbacks, and to leave the past behind you and move forward to a positive future. 

But yeh,, its a small little camper, doesn't seem to have a kitchen, or bathroom tho... could be why Sam eats out and showers in the rain.. 

But ohhh man I cant wait to see the other half next season!!! Guy’s gonna have so much fun repairing that dust bucket. Hilariously, sand and dirt clog up the airflow to the engine, which leads to overheating, and poor oil quality, which means frequent maintenance, and a higher chance of Guy getting his face blown off 🤣🤣

Thank you for reading this theory dump, probly more to come..

 i love you 😘💚💚💚

Ok, time for my review of Kh3 Re:Mind Dlc

This is gonna be long, so be prepared, and yes there will be many spoilers so if you dont want spoilers of the game then you probably shouldnt read this, but if you dont care then stick around.

I will start off with my unbiased and critical opinion.

From the title menu alone you already know what this game is gonna be about. Kairi is gonna be center focus, or should say specifically Sokai, and Riku will be virtually non existent.

Now I know what your thinking, well duh its all about saving Kairi of course Riku wont have that big a role and she’ll be the main focus, and to that I say no shit sherlock I already knew that. My issue isnt that it was Kairi focused because I already knew that and still pre-ordered the DLC, but my issue is what this title screen represents and my fears were proven correct.

Let me elaborate

Riku is just as much of a friend to Sora as Kairi is, from the beginning of the series its always been Sora, Riku, and Kairi, thats the way its ALWASY been. But from this title screen I could tell Riku’s bond with them wasnt gonna be present at all and I was right.

I’ll elaborate further

I know Im jumping way ahead here but bare with me, at the end of the game after Sora rescues Kairi they travel the worlds together, Sora notices he is fading away which is why he goes to the many different worlds he has visited but now with Kairi, spending his final moments with her before he finally disapears.

See the problem? Sora doesnt involve Riku at all in his final moments being alive, he is just completely absent during his entire remaining life. Sora only spends time with Kairi during his final moments, Riku wasnt shown with them once.

I know some people say well we dont know how long Sora was alive before vanishing and he was probably the one who organized the party, but did we see that though? did we see any signs that Sora was alive for more than a day or two? did we see Sora talking to anyone like he was setting anything up? NO, it was all about Kairi and Riku was completely forgotten.

I can understand if Sora wasnt dying then it wouldnt matter how much time he spends with Kairi alone, but Sora was fading away ANY SECOND and he didnt spend any of his remaining time with Riku at all, even at the beach party who is Sora sitting next to alone with before he finally vanishes? Kairi. That is inexcusable and a huge insult to Riku and his bond with Sora, hes just completely excluded, that is unforgivable.

These new added scenes to the ending actually made it worse than the original version of it, before we didnt even know Sora was around for more than a day and just assumed they all had a beach party afterwards to celebrate getting everyone back and saving the world, but now we know Sora was actually around for an extended period of time and made no effort to spend time with anyone other than Kairi, not even his best friend Riku did he spend time with for his final hours, that is despicable.

Another major issue is how Sora keeps saying his journey started with losing Kairi in this game, as if Riku wasnt ALSO lost that day, as if Riku wasnt the reason Sora kept on his journey even after saving Kairi and sending her back to Destiny Islands, as if he didnt fall to his knees and bawl his eyes out finally reuniting with him, as if he wasnt content with spending the rest of his life trapped in the Realm of Darkness with Riku, as if for the entirety of the base game of kh3 Sora wasnt constantly and only thinking about Riku and how many things he wished he could show him.

Apparently in Remind none of that happened, none of that mattered, it was Kairi that was his main motivation, it was Kairi that started his journey, Riku wasnt involved in it at all.

That is a huge issue with this DLC, it treats Riku like a side character and of little importance to Sora, in the base game they handled them fine minus that on instance in the Keyblade Graveyard where Sora says ‘Alone, Im worthless’ even though Riku’s right there but other than that their relationship and bond was handled very well but in Remind? practically non existent.

Now onto the story aspect, if your not into time travel and have trouble understanding the many variations of it then your gonna have a bad time because it gets VERY confusing to follow, which is why you should never introduce time travel because it becomes way too complicated to keep track of and not only that you also have to worry about things like paradoxes, ripples in time, alternate timelines etc. Its a complete clusterfuck to keep up with and manage so time travel really shouldnt have been introduced in this series.

Chirithy tells Sora that no matter what he cant change the past again, yet there are times where Sora does just that so exactly what cant he change? for example, when Roxas appears he asks Sora to do him a favor which is essentially getting the X back from Xemnas in their names. Sora does several things to make this happen and even Kairi gets a couple swings at Xemnas this time but then the two of them are basically caught and restrained inside shadow balls [pause]

See the prob? this is a huge change to that fight, Kairi never took a single swing at Xemnas, she just stood there and got snatched up, Roxas never asked Sora for help getting the X’s back from Xemnas, and Sora and Kairi never got restrained by Xemnas and knocked out.

Chirithy explicitly said Sora cant change what happened and no matter what he has to accept it for what it is, yet here he is, changing what happened. Maybe you could argue well this is an alternate timeline, even if it is that makes all of this irrelevant and means it never happened because the true ending is the one where it didnt happen, making this semi useful Kairi moment really pointless because at the end of the day its not canon, her being useless is the true outcome, none of this matters.

That is extremely disappointing, so even if you alter the past for the better it doesnt matter because its an alternate timeline and that timeline isnt the real one making this whole redo pointless and time consuming for a short DLC that was an extra 30$ to play.

So the time travel is very confusing and even if you follow it, it ends up being very disappointing when you realize none of it matters.

Moving on to some of the tied loose ends, Im glad they explained why Aqua froze up after saying ‘We stand together’ and I like how we get to see how Young Xehanort came to have the beliefs that lead to what he did and also MOMs subtle influence on him succumbing to darkness.

He told Xehanort that he would outgrow the robe and no longer need it because if he was truly powerful then he’d be the one controling the darkness, this leads to Xehanort later begining to travel without the robe and being corrupted. So we know now that MOM also influenced that as well and is very sketchy, even more now than he was before since this action greatly influenced what Xehanort eventually does and all the pain he caused, all of which would have probably never happened if it wasnt for him.

But thats just my theory and what I got from it.

I liked that we got to see Namine for a brief moment where Sora basically brushes her off and completely forgets about thanking her, this is a plotline Im pretty sure at this point is just never going to get resolved. He just tells her to go to the Final World and walks off, which makes no sense because Sora was surprised to see her in the original playthrough.

Another change was Lingering Will dying to protect Sora, again this never happened because Sora was busy fighting alongside everyone in the maze while Lingering Will and Terranort were fighting away from them. After Lingering Will died for him then Sora is pretty much squeezed to death by Terranorts Stand, or atleast knocked unconscious.

So much about these are just so confusing as to how they are happening when Chirithy said the events couldnt be changed I just stopped questioning it.

But atleast this time its made clear that Namine is the one who sent Lingering Will to help everyone and how she did it, so now people can stop saying Kairi is the reason everyone survived because it wasnt, without Lingering Will they would have all died a second time.

Basically the first half of the DLC is just recap with some minor changes and additions to the cutscenes, you get to play as other characters like Riku [optional] Aqua [not optional] and Roxas [optional] but other than that its basically the same thing all over again for the first 3-4 hours of the DLC, that is ridiculous.

The new content finally starts when Kairi is shattered, funny how the game gets good after Kairi dies xD I’ll stop.

Anyway once Kairi dies is when we finally get explorable Scala, but not without having to endure an insane fight with tons of heartless and nobodies and yes its more complicated than you think. It doesnt matter how many heartless or nobodies you kill, they will keep coming until you kill this one red heartless with way more health than your average heartless has.

After that you can pretty much wander around Scala as you wish and this is the only time where you can buy items or food so make sure to do that if your low on items. If your low on money there are minor enemies there that you can kill to get some so take advantage of this opportunity because your not getting another one.

Your goal in Scala is to basically run around, solve a couple puzzles, and get 5 of Kairi’s heart shards, revealed to having to be 7 later on. Sound fun? besides being able to see more of Scala’s layout, not really. But its a good place to take a breather before getting back into the big battles ahead.

Unfortunately your actually forced to fight the armored organization again but thankfully you dont have to do the ENTIRE final battle over, just that one section which I appreciate but wish we didnt have to do any of it at all.

So after we’re done Scala we get in MY opinion the two best parts of the entire DLC. We get to see what was going on with the rest of the keyblade wielders back home and it was INSANE and extremely well done, everybody had a chance to shine.

When everyone was swept away and Mickey was down and out, it was amazing seeing Mickey push himself back up and slowly with what little strength he had take on all the armor organization BY HIMSELF severely weakened, yet still powerful enough to hold them off and stand his ground. He really showed us WHY he is the King, so THAT I really enjoyed. It was extremely well done and one of the most memorable parts of the DLC.

The next part was even more insane and well done, which is us getting to fight as all the keyblade wielders against the armored organization and even get some cool dialog and team attacks in between, it was just amazingly well done seeing everyone work together and switching between characters was just so epic and enjoyable.

Honestly I could play those two parts over and over again and enjoy it everytime, their just that good and the most memorable in the entire DLC.

Coming back with Kairi and killing Xehanort together with all the keyblade wielders including Kairi this time was satisfying to see but it excludes Xehanorts and Eraquses final words, I mean yea seeing Xehanort have a semi happy ending put off alot of people but at the same time, seeing Xehanort come to the realization that he was wrong about everything and giving the Wayfinder trio closure by seeing their master one last time and hearing his apology to them just held more weight to me.

Im not saying I think Xehanort should be redeemed as easily as he was, but I feel like excluding Eraqus and their final words made the ending feel hollow, just ok we beat the bad guy, happily ever after now. Thats pretty lackluster and unsatisfying In my opinion.

Finally the ending....

Heres where Im gonna be biased and give my personal thoughts. Warning if your a fan of Kairi skip to the very end of the review where I give my overall rating

I hate the ending, for the reasons I listed in the beginning but also many others. I get the main focus was gonna be Kairi since the DLC was about saving her, Im not mad about the obvious, Im mad about the execution.

The Sokai agenda was so forced and apparent its not even funny, they shove it in your face so hard yet when Sora is talking with Chirithy he still refers to Kairi as a friend, really? your shoving this pairing down our throats just to have Sora still friendzone her? Im not mad because I dont want them together anyway but I hate the games being played here, you either want them together or you dont, pick a friggin side Nomura.

And while we’re on the subject, I hate, HATE, how this game is so heavily romance focused when Kingdom Hearts was NEVER about romance to begin with, it was always about friendship and bonds. Not in this DLC though, no now its all about Kairi and being with her forever, traveling the world together, holding hands, all this lovey dovey nonsense nobody invested in the plot could give a rats behind about.

Sure people who are into Kingdom Hearts for the romance of course they dont mind, but Im pretty sure MOST people invested in this series are in it for the story, not some stupid pairing, and I HATE how much they shove it down your throat because it is just so forced and obvious what they were doing.

This was all damage control for Kairi, who has been a useless damsel in distress and dues ex machina in every single game shes been a part of. I repeat, EVERY SINGLE GAME SHES A PART OF.

Kh1 - Kidnapped, unconscious, Sora needs to die to save her.

Kh2 - Kidnapped, held hostage, Sora needs to find and save her.

Kh3 - Kidnapped, unconscious, is killed twice, Sora needs to die to save her.

Do you see what I fricken mean? Every fuckin game its the same danm thing over and over and quite frankly Im sick of it. You might as well say this is a Mario game because Kairi is princess Peach always gettin snatched up and Sora is Mario always going through insanely deadly trials to get her back, and then it happens all over again.

This DLC was damage control for that, instead of immediately getting snatched up by Xemnas she actually gets a few good swipes at him to no avail of course, and then she fights together with Sora against armored Xehanort, all of which is just damage control for her not doing anything in the entire franchise and pandering to her fanbase that are constantly screeching for playable Kairi and for her to do something.

It was also damage control for how non existent their relationship was and what a joke its been since Kh1. They arent fooling anybody because thats exactly what this was, otherwise why you have to try so hard to CONVINCE us how important she was to Sora? why did Riku have to get sidelined so much just to boost Kairi up? why’d Sora completely disregard Riku as a part of his journey? why did Sora not spend ANY time with ANYONE for his final moments alive? its so obvious why. The only way to convince anyone shes actually important and relevant is to play down everyone else or exclude them entirely.

Congratulations, you got your wish, good for you fandom, but at what cost?

The time they spent forcing so much Sokai could have been used to tie up way more loose ends than there were but nope, gotta squeeze in that Sokai, thats what yall really here for right? fuck off.

The two best moments of the game was so short lived its not even funny, this DLC was full of so much padding in the first half, forced romance and pandering for damage control they forgot to actually make this a decent DLC.

Since I recorded my gameplay from start to finish I can actually tell you the amount of old content vs the new

3-4 hours of mostly what we already seen with a few changes, I only died twice

1-2 hours of new content, probably less because I got lost and died alot

That is unacceptable, 30$ for only 10% new content? that is a robbery.

Not only that but the worst part is the Limitcut episode, databattles have always been optional for competative players who like the challenge. Now you are FORCED to fight these INSANELY hard bosses, all 13 in order to get the final bits of the aftermath of the story.

WE PAID FOR THIS, this wasnt free we PAID for it and yet we’re basically told ‘Hey if your a casual player and want the rest of the story? well you gotta fight 13 of these insanely hard databattles that used to be optional but now their madatory for you to get the rest of your moneys worth. Too difficult? cant do it? well too danm bad, get good or go home we got your money already so screw you guess you’ll never know’

That is a fucking robbery and a huge slap in the face to people who are invested in the story, not proving their the best by fighting insanely difficult battles no matter what difficulty your on. It wouldnt be an issue if this was always the case, but these battles were always OPTIONAL for competetive players to do if they WANTED to, but now its mandatory and if you cant do it then oh well middle finger to you.

I couldnt even beat Vanitas, I fought him first and then Luxord and I couldnt beat either of them so I just said fuck it and went on youtube to see what I paid to see for free. 30$ wasted on a game I cant even finish, your out of your fucking mind if you think thats fair and excusable.

Thats why at the end of the day I give it a 5/10, its not good but its not bad either, its just decent. But if you asked me if it is worth the time and money? fuck no, my advice? watch other youtubers play it and keep your 30$

If you want it just to play as some of the characters, experience the new content for yourself, and play the databattles then by all means get it.

But if you think thats not enough for you to spend 30$ for then dont get it.

Overall Re:mind gets a 5/10, useless padding for majority of the first half of things we’ve already seen and cant skip because theres new scenes mixed in, forced romance that nobody but shippers care to see, severely lacking new content, and unfair extremely hard mandatory databattles just to see the final aftermath of the story which is kind of important setup for the next game.

Fuck this DLC, this was my fist time EVER buying a DLC for ANYTHING and thanks to this its probably my last. So thank you Re:Mind, for ReMinding me why I never bought DLCs in the first place.

Ps - Im so glad playable Kairi was optional, thats one of the only things this DLC did right.

[wingedhumanoid-remade]

@wings-united because you’ve blocked me and I can’t reply to your messages. which is hilarious.

Oh i reallllllllllllllyyyyy am loving this. Are you actually reading um, anything im saying? Lets start with celocanths becuase you apparently didn't do any fucking research. Celocanths. dont. have. more. than. four. limbs.  Neither do any other devonian fish. I said it really slow so you'd understand. The "limbs" you are referring to is called a "limb-like appendage," heres some photos so you can grasp this concept.

See how that worked? The other fins do not even vaugly fuction as limbs, cause theyre not.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb_(anatomy) "Limbs are jointed." "one of the projecting paired appendages (such as wings) of an animal body used especially for movement and grasping but sometimes modified into sensory organs." You dont look at fish, see their fins and go "HEY the've got more than four limbs!!!!" Come on. Ok, so now that that god awful excuse of a "rebuttal" is out of the way. My earlier statement still stands (hint because its a law of evolution) How did we evolve another fully functional limb. N other species on earth at the complexity above like, an amoeba, has EVER EVOLVED A NEW LIMB. Tell me, Kah.  So why do you think avians would grow new limbs? ell me exactly how the limb developed. "Evolution doesn't get to make whole new mechanisms out of whole cloth. Note that both bats and birds had to sacrifice their hands to make wings. Evolution didn't just tack on wings. Their arms and hands gradually changed into wings. They re-used the basic existing structures and pectoral muscles. It's a hack. Evolution is always a hack." "The only mammal to successfully gain true flight are bats, and they have been diverged from the rest of the mammalian tree for 100 million years. We just have not been evolving for long enough, and more importantly we have been evolving to fill a completely different evolutionary niche than the one filled by flying animals. It is basically impossible for evolution to change trajectories so drastically on such short notice." Why would the avian ancestors  "need" wings? What sort of circumstances could occur that would drive us to need wings that are not already resolved by us having exceptional creativity and cooperation between our kind? Evolution just doesn't work the way you're looking at it - "it would be nice if we had wings, so let's evolve some".  Even if wings were needed for the survival of the species, extinction is a MUCH more likely outcome.  (hy didn't the dinosaurs ALL just become tiny, so they could survive?  It doesn't work that way.  The ones that HAD become tiny - the ones that eventually became birds - DID survive.  That's how evolution works - you don't evolve what you need, you survive IF you've evolved what you need.)

Avian ancestors did not go from "lump on back" to "wings." Cause for that to happen you need a reason to have the lumps form in the first place, and then STAY there. What purpous would having extra stuff on your back to carry around have? How would that be an evolutionary advantage? "Regeneration is literally the growth, or regrowth of limbs, and it acts on stem cells. Wing growing is a form of regeneration, but it is creating new limbs. How did the gene for those limbs evolve, thats what I'm asking.  I know what regeneration is and it only works if theres a genetic code for those limbs to appear.

"You’re right, evolution edits what’s already there. Like cells, which create and grow things" No organism has ever had evolution start randomly mutating some cells on its back to grow a new limb, or anything even close to that. "My friend. We are not birds, therefore it would be impossible for us to get a pointed face, specialized heart" HOLy shit lmao. You really don't have a grasp on evolution. Theres no. reason??? avians wouldn't  have gotten a more pointed and streamined face shape. I'm not saying avians would just fucking. grow a beak? Im saying they would have become you know, shaped like they were ment to fly?

“To think that Homo Avians (IS, not could be, IS) a thing that would  be possible is simply stupid.” I’m,, holy shit.   You’re essentially telling me that avians aren’t possible and that  i don’t exist. "

HOLY SHIT ARE YOU. Serious?

Oh my god. I'm just stating the fucking facts my dude. Taxonomy is a real thing, and one rule is that organisms with a different amount of LIMBS do not get grouped in the same genus. Sorry? Again, get it through your thick skull. Just cause I say the classification of "Homo Avian"  wouln't make sense, doesn't mean I think growing wings is imposible. How many times am I going to have to write that before you fucking understand?

Hominids are in the superclass Tetrapoda contains the "FOUR-limbed vertebrates known as tetrapods"

https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/21772/why-dont-mammals-have-more-than-4-limbs https://www.quora.com/Why-arent-there-any-species-of-mammal-with-six-legs https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-any-mammals-have-more-than-4-limbs-Why-didnt-they-evolve-to-have-multiple-legs-or-arms-like-insects http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/vertebrates/tetrapods/tetraintro.html

"Adding a limb, on the other hand (no pun intended), is pretty expensive. You're not just adding a single extra part, but a whole network of additional blood vessels, bone structures, tissues, and what-have-you. These all need additional nutrients and a good set of genes to ensure they work together properly. On top of this, you also need the limb to not be a disadvantage. It needs to be in a useful place anatomically and immediately offer an advantage as soon as the extra limb mutation comes into play. These mutations can occur, but it's vastly more likely that they're a disadvantage. Take frogs, for example. It's not altogether uncommon for frogs to develop extra legs. What usually happens, though, is you end up with a frog that's clumsier and slower and packing more meat. Predators tend to like that sort of thing, so the mutated frogs don't live long enough to produce offspring so that the extra limb(s) could eventually become useful."

= OH boy. Have I been WAITING to roast Project Icarus. 1. "The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members" "Project Icarus is THE ONLY GROUP THAT CANG GROW WINGS, and anyone else who doesn't have the special"gene" i just made up IS TRASH AND HOPELESS"  

2. "The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality" Do I..... even have to say it? "US vs. "The stupid dreamers." Did you see how fast your group turned against us? Immeditly going from "friends" to "I HATE YOU RETARD NONE OF YOU HAVE POTENTIAL AND CANT GROW WINGS" etc...etc...etc... I could go on.

3. “Wouldn’t it be exciting to really know the secrets of being an avian?” HOLY SHIT. THATS LITERALLY HOW PROJECT ICARUS WORKS. "We, PI, are the ONLY group who knows the SUPER SPECIAL METHOD and the real SCIENCE of growing wings. All the other group are fucking stupid." My group is exhibiting NONE of those behaviors you’ve just “quoted”.

4. "I’m 100% positive that if someone joined your group and decided that Sahde’s was more logical, you’d threaten them, hackle them, be utmost bitches. " Ooh my god... the IRONY. You mean, hackle them and be utmost bitches like.... when sahde removed me as an admin when I didn't agree with her? When she told me to leave and make my own group cause I wans't going along with your cultlike beliefs? Actually, in my group I'm encouraging you know, actually free thought? As in "we all have differing opinions on how wings are grown, and thats ok." So yeah, good try bud but we aren't going to be like PI was.

5. "You’re making everyone in the group feel guilty and terrible." WHERE LMAO. Me? Me as in IM the one going around calling my members retards and stupid cult members like a child? oh right, thats you :/. Oh and crow, whom you persuaded to go into my group, lie, and then leave after calling us all "a cult full of dreamers." yeah. ok. and then the blocking of course. i've been blocked by almost everyone, expecially you becuase you didn't want to hear what I was saying anymore. I understand blocking oliver, and I do not condone their behavior and I definitely have asked them to stop sending you and the others edgy messages. I have not sent any one of my members to go yell at anyone from PI cause I have some common decency. You can talk to them if they hurt your feewings.

As if you and Ro are some holy angelic saints who are never mean uwuwuwuwuwu. if you're felling guilt, maybe theres a reason.

6. "invites random people to attempt to grow wings who will never grow them" You mean like.......................................................... you? sahde? ro? whom have never grown wings yet and not even proven their own ""theory?""" yeah......... thats smart. remember when sahde lied abut having wings?that was fun. remember? not cult-like at all.

We don’t let in random ppl, we haven't let anyone in. All my group is made up of ex-pi members who were tired of the bullshit. I gave them the option to leave and didn't force any of them to stay.

7. "The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader" GOD this is really funny. sahde can explain this one to you, shes already gone on a rant about it before.

8. " Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished." ajhsbasjdhgjaskdashkjahfjhfldsjfh

http://www.csj.org/infoserv_cult101/checklis.htm

tdlr. i could do this all day. i know you’re never going to admit “hey maybe im wrong, my theory doesn’t make sense in terms of evolution” because you think you’re so smart and are again, full of yourself.

Please. Actually acknowledge the science instead of spouting bullshit.

[lunara-eclipsio]

Look! Galra form Keith stuff! Theories!

Might contain spoilery stuff. Probably, maybe, and perhaps.

So, just to warn you all, I’m pulling all my evidence from memory as I cannot be bothered with taking screenshots and figuring out how to put them into text type posts. So please, correct me if I’m wrong.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “Keith turns purple when kissed by quintessence” and stuff but I think not.

Keith’s hand goes all would-make-Lance-cry-in-horror-splotchy purple when he gets struck by the black lightning magic death ray by that one weird guy in Keith’s failed snatch scene.

The same beam of bubonic plague that was used to suck the quintessence out of a planet.

The same frayed glow-in-the-dark black licorice ray that was used to suck the LIFE outta VOLTRON AND THE PALADINS in that one scene somewhere in the finale episodes of one of the two seasons.

(Which, in that scene, when showing the paladins, CLEVERLY HIDE KEITHS ACTUAL APPEARANCE UNDER THE ARMOR - GALRA FORM KEITH ANYONE??? Btw this is important too)

When Keith got struck by the black bean light of terrors in his snatch scene, his hand went splotchy-bad-skincare-purple, and I remember the hand REVERTING to human after getting into contact with the yellow piss. I mean quintessence. Le liquid life force.

So isn’t it safe to assume that when Keith LOSES quintessence, he TURNS GALRA FORM, and when he GAINS quintessence, he GOES BACK TO HUMAN FORM

so yeah

Galra = Keith - Quintessence Human = Keith + (Quintessence x n) –In which “n” is greater than or equal to zero.

So now that I’ve probably proven what I needed to prove, LETS HAVE SOME FUN WITH EVEN LESS EVIDENCE IF ANY AT ALL ASIDES FROM SOME LOGIC

Aliens are different. Aliens are very much different.

Culture, appearance, strengths, weaknesses, all very different.

I’d imagine that the hormones and emotions and general chemicals that make up those different things are also very different.

We don’t know of any other inter species children, we don’t have any comparisons to draw upon, so for the moment I can only make assumptions that will be, if I’m being completely honest, proven false. BUT THATS NOT THE POINT HERE SO

But we’ve also never actually seen Keith in Galra form (AT LEAST WHEN HES CONSCIOUS IM LOOKING AT YOU VOLTRON DRAIN PAIN SCENE).

We all agree he’s gonna look different. We are all also ready for him to also be pretty different structurally. Essentially we all want for fuzzy purple Keith with cat ears.

But that’s all physical.

So what about chemical?

If Keith can physically change his human ears to fuzzy purple cat ears, then I bet he can chemically change, too.

How? In what ways?

Emotions, hormones, instincts, actions, thought process, etc…

So why bring any of this up? You might be asking what this is all about. You might not be asking what this is all about and quite frankly, don’t care. You might be that weird in between that is curious enough to care but at the same time indifferent. You might want me to just shut up and get to the point already. You might wonder, “What does this have to do with Control by Halsey?”

It has a lot to do with Control by Halsey. I got to thinking of all of this by imagineering a Voltron related Galra Keith-centric music video to this song, after all.

But enough of that and the possible fanfic I might write. Back to the content!

So back to the time old question of two minutes ago, perhaps your minute, depending on how fast you read. “So why bring any of this up?” - me, some sentences ago.

Well, I think

That Galra form Keith?

Ain’t gonna go so well.

Humans go through puberty, hormone changes, but we learn to deal with it a live with it, control it. I imagine aliens do the same in their various, alien ways.

Keith has dealt with human biology.

Keith has not dealt with Galra biology.

Yes, he’s part Galra, but that doesn’t mean he’s taken the full brunt of what being Galra may be, we still don’t know how interspecies works. Alteans can shapeshift into other species? Yes, they can. But they don’t share the DNA. They don’t necessarily pick up all the hormones the other species has to offer. So we’re back to making assumptions.

True or false, neither can be proven yet. Probably false, as I am writing this for personal satisfaction.

Emotions, hormones, instincts, actions, thought process, etc…

If he can change physically, he can change in other ways too.

What does this mean for us?

Well let’s be more specific in how our little spitfire could be affected.

Will he have more salt with a dash of pepper? Will we get the garlic!keith that I know and love and joke about? Will he straight (lol) up go to jalapeño’s fiery pits of hell (my personal opinion of jalapeños; others may have different experiences and differing pain tolerance)? Will he be catlike? What kind of catlike? Loving, purring, rubs up against you cat? Biting, hissing, uses you as scratch post cat?

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

And given that we still don’t know that much of how Galra work, they’re biology and whatnot, their actual natural abilities, we don’t know how Keith could be affected.

Honestly, why is this so important? It’s probably not.

Let’s bring back physical changes. If five humans got their butts handed to them in a training simulation set for an altean child, why not have the Galra be naturally strong too?

Now mix them together.

If this IS true (or not, doesn’t really matter) then these changes, depending on which changes you pick and choose from, can lead to an adorable purple pouty kitten Keith spitfire who will crush you in a bear (purple cat) hug, or raging fuzzy purple teenage cat angst and anger and destruction who will crush you. Just crush you, no hugs.

I’m just going to let this simmer in your minds now, as I’ve got not much more to say. So think about it, don’t think about it, or do the weird in between that is inexplicable right now.

Oh yeah, reminder to correct me if I’m wrong on the parts that actually use evidence. Anyways, time to make like Shiro and be gane. Have fun and Peace out

Libel, Slander, and Defamation: How to Protect Your Reputation in a Digital Economy

Bad reviews hurt a business. If you own the business, they hurt your soul. Nonetheless, platforms like Yelp are the gatekeepers to quality now. You have to accept that not everyone is going to like what you are doing and that any old jerk can leave a scathing review that could damage your credibility. But never feareven in the seemingly lawless world of the internet, there is law to protect you. The good news is that you can protect your business against untruthful, inflammatory remarks. When Negative Reviews Transform Into Defamation Theres definitely a hard line in the sand regarding defamation. Cross that line, and a negative reviewer could indeed be engaging in defamation. There have actually been hundreds of lawsuits over negative reviews posted in online forums, but few people take action. The first amendment only protects the truth. No one has the right to tell lies about you or your business. If a negative review in any public platform is negative AND untruthful, you can sue for damages. That situation is the very definition of libel. A Quick Note From the Legalese Translator: Libel is something that occurs when an individual knowingly makes false statements about you in writing. Someone who does the exact some thing verbally is committing a similar crime, but we call that slander. The difference between the two is simple: were the false statements printed or spoken? The Quick and Dirty is this: Printed = libelVerbal = slander. This content brought to you by The Legalese Translator. Now, you are going to have to prove that a negative comment was untrue if you are going to silence it. If a customer says that they were served an ice cold steak, youre going to have a hard time proving the remark untrue. I suppose maybe the customers steak could have flown off the plate and smacked a neighboring diner in the eye, which would give you some evidence of its temperature. If they have burn scars, you may well have a shot. This is an insane example, but it demonstrates a case where a business is actually damaged by a negative review that can, at least in theory, be proven untrue. This is grounds for a defamation lawsuit.

All About Defamation There are two types of defamation. We mentioned libel. Libel is the act of defaming someone by telling lies about him or her in printliterally, on paper, which can include publication in a news outlet or other online forum. This includes online reviews. The second type of defamation is slander, which is spoken defamation. See that handy chart above if you need to reference back to this topic. Just for fun, were going to give you some examples. Related: How to Keep an Amazing Reputation in the Real Estate Business You see a lot of slander during political campaigns. Remember Lock Her Up? with Hillary Clinton or the myriad of statements about Donald Trumps health? They could all be total fabrications. Even if true, the critics were unlikely to have evidence of their claims. Youd think such powerful people would be willing to sue to keep such commentary out of the media and public eye. But defamation is tricky business. In order to win a defamation lawsuit you must prove the following: That a statement was madeThat it was published for others to see (comments, reviews, etc.)That the statement caused you injury (emotional distress, loss of business, etc.)That the statement was false. That is a tall order, because each of those elements above must be proven fact. Items (b) and (c) are especially difficult to prove without cold, hard, tangible evidence. Awards in a defamation lawsuits generally require the offending party to remove false statements. Damages might be awarded for lost profits or injury, which as mentioned are very difficult to prove, especially if were talking emotional distress. Defamation Suits: Is This The Hill You Want to Die On? You really need to pick your battles carefully. You can spend a lot of money silencing negative reviews that may not actually be costing you anything. Its also difficult to prove that the offending party is lying. Judgments are rare without overwhelming evidence, so odds are you could spend more money engaged in the suit than actually doing things that could improve your business.

How Business Owners Can Manage Negative Reviews Without Setting Foot in Court My personal advice to business owners who are on the receiving end of negative or untruthful reviews is that you respond to it once. Thats a hard rule: Dont beg, plead, or offer free stuff to the hostile party. Once, and only once, is the golden rule. Why? Its enough to show that you are a business owner who cares. It allows anyone who reads the review to hear your side. Reach out to the customer directly if its possible and figure out if you can resolve their issue. Maybe you can get a negative review taken down just by showing a potential client that you want to do better by them. Thats how you win over people whom you disappointed, and we all have off days. And for bonus points: other readers will see you engaging with your customer base. This builds credibility with potential customers. Related: Should There Be a Better Review System in Place for Landlords? Now, if youve taken these steps and you are unable to resolve a negative and untrue comment or review that is causing your business injury, you can file a lawsuit against the perpetrator. Just remember that lawsuits are a long and costly process. Dont drag yourself into a fight if there arent sticks or stones involved. We meant it: ask yourself, is this the hill you want to die on? Do you want to go toes to the mat for (typically) not much reward? If the injury is real and the comment is false, take legal action. Just be sure youre in a fight over something that matters.
