I do not trust this Sydney fella from OMITB. All that coughing, hiding his face from Oliver and Mabel (and us, the audience). Coughing like a man “too weak to kill”? Knew Charles for years and years?? That just screams murder to me

HARPER & LILY in “DARK KNIGHTS” SACRED LIES: THE SINGING BONES

[pinkrangersarah]

For all the reasons I've seen for people to either love or hate James's arc in V8, I've never once seen anyone bring up his semblance. Specifically, I've never seen anyone mention what a disservice it was to have it merely mentioned on Twitter and never once bring it up in any sort of way in the actual show.

I hate information being released on the side and never once being brought up in the canon in any sort of way. It's lazy. It is relying solely on the audience to have seen it and to take your word for it. It's like adapting a book into a show or film but leaving out important details about the world and/or characters, relying on the audience to have read the book first (which a vast majority of them will not have done).

James's semblance, to put it simply, is tunnel-vision. It "strengthens his resolve to carry through with tough decisions", basically cancelling out rational thought and ignoring consequences. This is a major piece of information about James's behavior that is never once brought up, and because of that I can understand why a lot of people didn't like his 180 heel turn into antagonist territory--I didn't either for the longest time, and because of this a part of me still doesn't. While parts of his downfall were done subtly and done well, this particular part of it was not.

"But why would his semblance ever be brought up in conversation?" Good question, one that could be easily answered by the three characters in the cast that definitely should know about James's semblance: Qrow, Ozpin, and Watts. Qrow and Ozpin had been working with James for years, and before that it is implied that Watts and James also worked together for a period of time, getting to know each other fairly well. It makes absolutely no sense for neither of these three to ever once bring up the fact that James's behavior is likely due to his semblance interfering with his ability to make decisions. Hell, I can even imagine Watts being delighted by this; Watts knowing how James's semblance works and how to take advantage of it would definitely benefit Salem.

James Ironwood was such a fascinating character, but the fact that his semblance felt like an afterthought is a major disservice to his arc, in my opinion.

Should I be allowed to include Sims 2 Store/preorder/exchange content in Calcinidae Bay

There are several reasons why I'm keeping Calcinidae Bay CC-free but first and foremost it's to see "how far can I get with only TS2 Maxis content?" and so there's always this nagging voice in the back of my head saying "but this is TS2 Maxis content".

Lots that I share will remain CC-free, and I'm not including Stories conversions. Only things made by EA, for TS2.

And it ends like this

On the one hand, so epic, also make sense this manga is about Samus' past. On the other I kind of would have liked to see how they would have depicted the fight against Mother Brain here and the aftermath of it even a bit

But all in all this was a great read! And gave me so much info and insight on the lore that the metroid games so far did NOT gave me

Rewatching Mamma Mia - and although I still love this movie madly, the tears can't help but dwell in my eyes...

This is all I ever wanted to have: a nice little house with land about which I could have been telling funny stories about my ancestors to my best friends... Childhood friends, who scream happily when we meet each other after a long time no seeing, and whom I can hug and share secrets without being afraid for my family's life and health... My dear mom also being able to share her feelings with her best friends, instead of just keeping all the pain in herself, making me feel absolutely powerless... the family concerts or karaoke nights... I've never been to karaoke, btw! I have a professional opera voice, I performed solo, in the best choirs, on Kyivan Philarmonic's, on other stages - multiple times! and I've never been to karaoke with my family or friends! Isn't it crazy? I wish it was so easy to visit my family... I always wanted to dance and sing freely, with those whom I love.

Mamma Mia 1st part is like a pure concentrated happiness, an unreachable Heaven, which seems I'll never be able to own... but you see, it will work out. Even if some things are irretrievably gone, lost, killed, destroyed, missed - I have the clear idea of ​​what I want out of life and what I don’t.

Sorry about the theater of emotions going on my face from across the room. I'm trying to resolve an argument that I made up between two fictional characters.

[crystalelemental]

I am a professional. Obviously I do not pick favorites among my colleagues. But all I’m saying is one of them notifies me when the popcorn machine is on during lunch period and tells me when we have random days off they know I know catch, and the rest of you are on thin fucking ice.

[shadesofdeviant]

....yes I would assume so.

About once a day I go through the mental gymnastics of going "god I should probably make an art insta, for ~professional purposes~ and ~networking~ and ~cultivating an audience~"

And then I scrunch my face up so hard my features cave inside my skull thinking about conceding to using an algorithmic social media platform in 2023, let alone a facebook product

(please don't take this as a call to suggest alternative social medias to me sdlkfjs I mega super promise you I am aware of them)

[fluxedbuds]

listen. I know you're all addicted to desert duo but when you're a worldhopper, it's not the worse versions of your friends that haunt you- it's the people you love, and never see again.
