#im truly so disappointed

[nivea-ah]

I am so horribly disappointed by the Paris Olympics, I can't even frame a sentence without having to take a pause to just scream in fury.

Vinesh Phogat from India was the first wrestler ever, man or woman, to reach the finals and have the opportunity to play the Indian National Anthem at the Olympics. She usually always played in the under 53kg category but due to some issues, she went with under 50kg.

She then went on to ANNIHILATE all competition by winning so wonderfully, it made all Indians proud. She won the semifinals, progressed to finals and even had an opportunity to win it. However, at night, she realised she'd gained roughly 3kg and wouldn't be able to participate with that weight. She ran on a treadmill with thick jackets on, sat in a hot sauna, didn't eat or drink anything and, in desperation, cut her hair off. After all this effort, her reading was 50.1kg and she was eliminated from the Olympics.

The weight of 100g pushed her back to the last position, not even letting her get her well-deserved silver medal. Due to severe dehydration, she fainted on the venue and was later admitted in a hospital. Just today, she announced her retirement.

In spite of not winning the gold medal, she is a champion, not only because of her other accomplishments, but because of her relentless support and participation in the wrestlers' protest against the then chief of Wrestling Federation of India for sexual harrasment. She spent months on the streets of New Delhi to get the government to do something and nearly threw all her medals in the River Ganga to get the authorities to act. She was a champion through and through. Gold medallist or not, she truly is gold.

monstrilio – gerardo sámano córdova

[TEXT: Our son died before the dogwood pushed out its first flower, a bloom so simple with four white petals and a burst of yellow-green in the center—a beginner’s flower. I believed that flower was my son reincarnated. One believes the stupidest things in grief. I spoke to the flower and called it my son. And then I laughed because how ridiculous—how cruel, really—it would have been if my son was reincarnated as something so ephemeral, frail, and beautiful. I killed that first bloom with one swoop of my hand. Dead again, my son could become something else: the shell of a tortoise, strong and ancient, or a hideous fanged creature deep in the sea where he’d see wonders even he could’ve never imagined.]

I’m sorry you didn’t like the ending of Cobra Kai 😔 I did but I can see why other people don’t and I definitely have issues with it. I also really was fond of the movies growing up, because they made me believe I could stand up to bullies.

Thanks 💛 And I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I think what was so frustrating about these episodes for me in particular is that like. Everything that truly ruined the season for me would have been fixed with pretty small, minute changes.

Like, I don’t actually care Robby didn’t win. It sucked to watch but Miguel getting the final victory does make more sense narratively. I still very much dislike the way it all happened, but at this point I also didn’t expect any different. As for Johnny’s win…I think the entire mini arc of him being intimidated by Wolf and feeling unconfident was fine. And I get they wanted to end the show with a tournament win for him. I think it’s stupid personally, but again it was obviously always going to go down this way. But the way the show pushed this idea that he needs this win. That getting a first place trophy is actually the only way to redeem himself. It quite frankly just doesn’t make sense, especially when you contrast it with Robby’s arc. They could have left literally everything the same, but actually let Johnny realize that he doesn’t need the trophy. He doesn’t need to win a dumb tournament. Let him find strength in all the things he has now that he never did before—his son, Miguel, Carmen, the baby, Yaya, the entire Larusso family. People who love and care about him. And let that be what makes him able to persevere against Wolf and secure him the win. Have Johnny realize he doesn’t actually need this, thus letting him actually narratively earn the win in a satisfying way.

And as for reopening Cobra Kai—great! I always wanted and expected the show to end that way, from season 1. They could have kept the exact same scene, except without forcing Johnny to continue peddling the No Mercy bullshit that Kreese literally spent the entire season trying to make amends for. And then have him approach that kid with glasses and let us think for a second he’s about to bully and ridicule them, only for him to subvert expectations and actually say something constructive like “doing karate in glasses is dangerous, you need get some contacts.” The end. It would have been so easy. And that’s what drives me the most insane

what if. what if they pull something like majima getting his memories back somewhere along the game but he keeps on acting like he doesnt remember shit cause of all the hell he went through but also put others through. what if someone finds out and he breaks. what if he finds himself in this new state, new life just to loose his identity to trauma again. what if-

i know ive been mean about sally rooney in the past but part of me has always wanted to like her so im so tempted to read her new book because then maybe i will FINALLY get it like maybe she will actually move me this time! but at the same time i dont care and i dont want to care id rather spend my time on other interesting books, books that i know appeal to me thematically and subject wise and that ive been recommended or whatever..... and yet. the sally rooney itch remains and i dont think it will go away until i actually enjoy one of her books

[puhpandas]

every day I think about the insanely good potential that a Carnival freeroam has like it could have an incredible atmosphere brand new animatronic variations vanny cassie villain it could give EVERY character screentime and not feel too cluttered it could heal me

[foolish-edworm]

beyond upset at the good omens s3 news, but good on them for booting g*im*n fuck him honestly. i hope everyone working on the episode puts their whole pussy into it and gives us an at least halfway decent ending to this show.
