And there's several other things happening here and yeah it was electrical truck and keeping Trump on the up and up and they say they know he's up to and they do and they also threatened him and it was not friendly

-there's other things happening this a****** next door is clueless my son doesn't like him and doesn't want him there and people don't get that either I'm taking over a huge fleet and we need to put it out there occasionally our operations are going to be dark you won't see us going around messing up bleach directly and you're going to repentance when you find out what we're like your area of expertise doesn't really cross over that much into hours and there's only a few of you who are trained and they're dwindling because of these major Morris and battles soon you're going to be completely oblivious and we need it too and we have a plan and to help the masses as well. But we just want to let you know that we don't like you people and what you're doing is making it much worse and the pseudo empire hates you and they know they were pretty big it's an awkward situation but if they're doing something to you you might back them up because you're constantly annoying us and harassing us and you will not shut up you think it's doing his harm so we're going to do harm and you're stupid and shut up Trump you're going to pay for your comments pretty quick too

We have a lot of class A destroyers and we know what to do with them. Our son of course knows about Saturn and we do as well and was sent to detachment to make sure that the max don't gain control and it's a very large one so doing the job you said you were doing and it went pretty quick at it we also have some more information about what's going to happen today and here as well in Charlotte county

1. Is going to be law and order it was declared this morning the pseudo empire is going to start taking over the sheriff's office and police and found their actions in recent couple weeks to be horrendous and especially at the grocery store can't go in there without them being there and I love to waltz around and mess with people so they're going to take it over and that's with them and mess with them

2. It's a huge number of people watching the show and these warlock pretend no one is they're getting slaughtered all over the world the pseudo empire doesn't want it and minority molok don't want it they're being hired and even deputized to shut you down unless your actions and activities are so negative globally

3. There's another element to this yes, it is that you're being repulsive on purpose it has not served your cause and it isn't serving it now and they have to stop you from doing it that's what they're saying everyone is sick of you and they're clobbering you and arresting you capturing you and killing a lot of you Mac morlock because he refused to stop so it said in town all over the world that there's three other groups not going to attack you to shut you down and relatively soon

4. Other items that are happening and are definite Johnny remillard and Dan next door are going to be evicted. Stan found it amazing how many idiots were trying to make his nephew puke no take a poop before he gets to the restroom and he saw him speed up and use the throttle only I thought it was smart and it works sometimes and he's holding it in and took forever to clean up it's a sign that it became a pain now people hate it before no they don't hate our son or Stan but they are despicable people and he's a loser this guy damn and he says what do you think you're going to get and out of his mouth came a whole bunch of stuff I said okay so we're going to go take those things to prove it wrong and we started taking the stuff from him he's going I see I was in that so he had to get hit so he gets hit for it a lot of people are catching on if he says he gets that out of his mouth that's what you go after plus we have to I and he says he spends his night in misery and things it's too stupid to remember so a son said you said you get this and they're going after it they said they do it every time it's just to shut you up you're stupid and he says okay so he sleeps wakes up and he says I can't take that s*** from him I said I don't think you should take it from anyone because we're just going to crush you because you won't listen to anyone you're a freaking moron and you start getting attitude and then he got put down he said I've had it we're stupid and we're doing it wrong it doesn't work this is doing to one person and your entire claim is dying and as a matter of fact you're race and it said well it's causation so yeah it's causation and he kept talking I said why don't you shut up and if you don't you did then we had to shut him down

5. Other things are happening here and around the globe they are pulling the idiots out of position of power and a lot more than normal they're ripping them out

6. And really few people are miserably freaking weak and stupid and you think he's going to sit there and feel sorry for all of you at the same time as all of you are marching him around abusing him you're freaking stupid in nuts they don't live in reality we have to tell you everyday and see yourself getting shot you can't figure it out you two have been hit quite a bit because you're dumb f****** mouth that's true they plan to do stupid s*** like little kids so we plan to take your stuff have a nice time losing a juvenile delinquents now just like your scum and they don't get it but they will they'll have to fight the f*** when they juiced up like they used to do to us all the time it's nice it's really nice yeah that comes down to you guys did your job these people are so awful that it kind of discounts everything because everybody let him get out of control and haven't be awful so I'm using them to take over the realm and really nobody is playing the brakes everybody's got an excuse for these suck and really this sucking you dry I just making mistakes so so but for real the people who are weak and doing what they want are also going to be escorted out we find your name a lot bill and they say you're pushing him against all of us and Tommy f in the slew of others who they have on a list to expel and they mean it too there's other things happening it was pretty big this is big and it's global this area they're expelling people

When I talk about bitter Kanthony stans this is what I mean...

They do the same with Luke calling him both fat an anorexic, they can't make up their minds. This is why even though there are some decent stans, the fandom in general dislikes Kanthony stans. Because the most vocal are like this person.

And you can't even truly say it's over disappointment about their season, though that is it in part. Because while I didn't watch the show when it debuted I went back and old conversations and know what I found? Kanthony stans harassing Daphene/Simon fans talking about how much better their season would be and how Anthony is the true head of the household and they are the ones the family truly look to guidance for and basically the foundation of the entire family. They were pulling this before the season debuted and referenced the books. Which I hadn't read either. Well, I've since read a majority of them and you know which character was more prevalent in the books? Colin. NOT Anthony. Not saying super huge part because the books are mostly standalone's but he legit plays matchmaker for at least 2 couples and sits in a tree with Gregory to support him spying on his love interest. Anthony's biggest role is mainly with Eloise for a couple scenes. Maybe Daphne, I dunno since didn't read that one but the others not really.

They also harassed Queen Charlotte stans when came out.

Colin/Pen, Luke/Nicole have gotten it the worst but mainly because dared to follow their season and they are convinced the show's theme should have been changed to follow the lives of Kate and Anthony Bridgerton rather than other seasons getting their own book.

I have seen them call Nicole a racist and claim hates Simone while turning about and hating on the predominately African American driven show of Queen Charlotte. I've seen them hate on Daphne for the scene where she does force a result in bed with Simon, but ignore Anthony setting up Daphne to marry her would be rapist and dangling two sisters while also disposing of his mistress like trash. I've seen them mock Luke for occasional stutter and when told of dyslexia/adhd mock that. They call him ugly in seasons 1 and 2 (and yeah gained a few pounds after covid season 2 but most people did) and what they really mean is he was the only brother not stripping naked onscreen. When they call him boring, that is what they mean. Because it's not about the storyline, but soft core porn feel denied.

BTW, no idea if do some sort of montage with Colin overseas with women or not this season or just sort of infer it but that is why they love Benedict the most of the brothers btw. All the flings where hey...may be lacking a story narrative but he's butt is on display so all is good. I personally think the actor would have rathered more of a relevant sl but just me.

I have seen them say Nicole broke up Luke's prior relationship with an affair as well as say she slept with half the cast and production/casting to get attention on the show. Nevermind she was first cast because she plays THE Lady Whistledown character which the entire show revolves around, at least in the first several books.

I've seen them say Luke can't act when clearly that is untrue as his micro expressions are excellent if he is able to convey thought and feeling in brief clips/scenes and he is one of those actors that can act with their eyes which I love. I have a personal preference for actors who don't need to rely on excessive physical movements to act. He is one of them. Also received high reviews for his recent play. but when you aren't given a particularly heavy sl to act out there is only so much you can do, which is why really looking forward to this season.

And yes...the names they call Nicole because a little overweight. Hon, if anyone is living vicariously through the show it is not the people who enjoy Penelope because we liked prior diverse characters. It is the people who apparently only want one shape (perhaps because they are not thin themselves) and wish to imagine a world in which they were that shape in particular. Sure, people may identify with Pen/Nicola as most people aren't their ideal weight from a medical standpoint but if they liked Daphene and Kate (and most did) that fantasy is not what is driving them to watch. And if you are only driven to like characters based upon their appearance and not their worth as a character, well, then you are shallow and should just go watch porn where you can get that without the pesky inconvenience of character development.

Because I've NEVER been into shows where its about sex. This is why I rebelled against Riverdale. Sex depicted on screen is fine, not against it, but I don't want it for the sake of wanting it. I need to care about the characters and see development. This is why I FW Benedict's sex scenes after the first run through. They bore me. I'll watch Anthony with Siena because there were actual feelings there but I FW the bedside scene montage with him dripping coins after sex. So yeah I will watch Colin and Penelope but that is because it's 3 seasons of development so I'm invested. But if Benedict hooks up without another random woman, outside the first time, likely won't watch again. Alice and Will? I love them so if they have one I would watch. I'm on the fence about Violet and Marcus because not sure in what form the relationship develops. I had NO interest in Ledger and young Danbury. They keep saying it was love but the writing/acting didn't convince me anything but a lonely middle aged man in crisis who did not agree with his wife's prejudices reliving his youth by seeking out a newly widowed woman who had been groomed for an old ledger and not a lot of experience with men outside of that. I could certainly see how a connection might form between them, I just don't think the writing made that connection well.

At any rate, the people who have a problem with a sex scene with Nicola can shove their prejudices off a cliff. The people excited for their season aren't the ones with the issues. As for Luke, he was always the most traditionally handsome man of the brothers and if the only reason you couldn't see that is because wasn't naked half the time...also your problem. However, even if he weren't, I don't really care. Some of us watched shows with a variety of body shapes and or people not considered classically attractive in our life times and don't have an issue with it on screen because I've always been attracted more to personality first. For physical attributes, I tend to always notice their eyes first so I can't say I identify with the first. Next trait I notice is hair color. I like dark or brown hair for men but people can dye their hair so hardly a requirement. Personality? I like good humor. It can be good natured or sarcasm or whatever. Also like someone who is isn't generally deceptive. Doesn't mean have to be an extrovert, you can be served, but not into liars. Also like people who are generally principled. Maybe don't agree with them on everything, but changing your opinion based on tides of the moment...not into that. Which is actually why I like the sl for Colin.

He's generally been straightforward, good humored and principled but had one slip up with Penelope end of season driven to seek good opinions of people's who's opinions are not worth being sought. Paying the price for that and I think ultimately will further cement him as the principled brother he generally always was. Because no one is perfect but that that one slip up is understandable because still young and young people often feel pressure to blend in. But it is so against how he is in general AND HAS BEEN TO THAT POINT with Penelope that you see instant remorse and self loathing when she brings it up to him. It will also make courting her a bit more difficult so it's a nice lesson, it's a relatable lesson and a totally believable one for any time period. It's also one where you see him pay a price and redeem himself and ultimately grow as a character. I like that.

I like storyline where you don't absolve people of sins but flesh out the mistake and then evolve. I felt they missed the mark with Anthony in denying him that sl personally. I am hoping they don't deny it to Eloise.

RD would do that all the time with Archie and Betty and I HATED it and in return ended up hating their characters. You don't do well by your characters by brushing off penance and redemption. Those two things often make the character better.

Description:

Luke Skywalker is on the run.

His one-in-a-million shot on the Death Star has ensured his status as the most wanted person in the galaxy. With few friends, no family, and no mentor, he finds solace in his fellow Red Squadron survivor, Wedge Antilles, and his vibrant but mysterious found family. As he disentangles their carefully crafted secrets, he is drawn to an inexplicably talented assassin with a unique connection to the Jedi.

Is it okay to ask you why you dislike Elizabeth/Col. Fitzwilliam?

Well, sure.

The main reason is that I think their dynamic in the book is really bland (and purposefully so). They have an easy rapport because they're temperamentally similar, but it doesn't leave much of an impression on either of them in the end.

It's pretty noticeable (IMO) that Elizabeth tends to have that kind of rapport with charming, outgoing people in a way that's clearly influenced by her vanity, but ultimately her strongest relationships, and the ones which affect her feelings and character arc the most, are with the quieter and more reserved people in her life: Jane, Darcy, Charlotte, Mr Bennet. So Elizabeth/Colonel Fitzwilliam, like the occasional Elizabeth/Bingley I've seen, seems very counter-intuitive to me if you’re going to go for Elizabeth/not Darcy (not something that generally appeals to me, anyway).

On top of that, I think Colonel Fitzwilliam is extremely idealized in the fandom, while I've always felt that he should have made his position clear to Elizabeth long before he did. I don’t buy that he was just being nice; IMO he was bored at Lady Catherine’s and flirting with Elizabeth made for a fun diversion, and while he’s too decent to go further than that, he didn’t fully consider her situation and feelings. It’s not a huge deal, but I don’t think his conduct is perfect by any means.

Also, I’m a Darcy stan, and what little Elizabeth/Colonel Fitzwilliam I’ve read has a distinct edge of “so there, Darcy” + an impression that Darcy is the only one who really needed to change and grow, which I find actively annoying since I think Austen goes to pains to balance Elizabeth and Darcy in P&P. So my general associations are pretty negative.

warnings: a couple of swears, a smidge of Another World hate

word count: 0.8k

summary: you’re one of the first people who sees the finished ‘TPWK’ music video...

“Right,” Harry let out a shaky breath as he came and sat down beside you on your sofa. “Are you ready?”

You nodded, “Don’t be nervous, Haz.”

The Treat People With Kindness music video was officially ready for you to watch. You knew how hard he’d worked on it and you were already proud of him. TPWK was an instant favourite of yours when you first heard the fully completed album around a year ago. As well as this, you had fond memories of dancing around the kitchen as it blasted from your speakers. Which was shortly followed by curling up and sobbing on the sofa as Fine Line echoed across your flat, as you said something along the lines of ‘You got me on such a high with Canyon Moon and Treat People With Kindness, only to hit me with fucking Fine Line? Asshole’. “I just want you to like it,” he mumbled.

“I like everything you put out,” you smiled, squeezing his hand.

“Except Another World. You don’t like that,” he said, faking a frown.

You laughed loudly, “Yes, except Another World. But, firstly, you know that song was shit. And, secondly, that was, like, ten years ago now. I think you’ve improved since that... interesting choice of song. Right, now roll the clip!”

And, one of the very first things you were met with, was Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s face. You paused just as quickly as Harry had pressed play. “Woah, woah, woah. Hang on a minute. You mean to tell me that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is in this and you didn’t tell me?” you asked, your jaw hanging loose slightly.

“I’m sorry,” he laughed, “it was a surprise.”

You squinted your eyes at him, “Is that why I wasn’t allowed to come to the set? You wanted her all to yourself, didn’t you?”

“I’ll invite her to the wedding,” he offered.

“No, don’t bother, traitor.”

You couldn’t not smile at the sight of your fiancé dancing about on the stage in his little sparkly jacket. And, soon enough, you found yourself entranced by the little word Harry had created. You’d occasionally make small comments like ‘Look how cute Charlotte and Ny are!’ or ‘I can’t believe you got to hold Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hand’. “I’ll tell you what, H, your dancing has come a long way since X Factor,” you joked.

He sighed. “I knew you’d say that. You promised to never bring that up again.”

“But, baby, it’s so iconic. Wait, why do you get to hold Phoebe’s hand? You get to hold her hand and you deprived me of that. I should be the one holding her hand. You woke up and chose violence today, H.”

“You’ve been spending too much time on stan Twitter again, haven’t you?”

And so, as the video came to an end, you were endlessly proud of your boyfriend. He’d managed to pull off another incredible music video for another one of his incredible songs. You engulfed him tightly, staring into his precious green eyes. “Did you like it then?” he asked.

“I loved it. You’re so talented, did you know that?” you grinned.

“You do remind me everyday,” he smiled back, admiring your face, which was illuminated by the fireplace.

“A few minor criticisms, though.”

You watched as his face dropped. All he wanted was for you to love it. “What?” he asked, fiddling with his fingers.

“Sarah wasn’t in it nearly enough,” he let out a sigh of relief at your words. “You did her so dirty! She got, what, 0.2 seconds of screen time?”

“Are you actually just in love with the women in my band?” he sighed.

“Who isn’t? And the Phoebe Waller-Bridge stunt you pulled, that was a low blow, Haz. First a film with Florence Pugh and now a music video with Phoebe Waller-Bridge. If you do a Fine Line music video and then put Anya Taylor-Joy in it, you’re sleeping on the couch,” you said.

He laughed, “I’d never do that to you.”

“No, seriously, Harry, it was amazing. Everything you do is,” you grinned, running your fingers through his messy head of brunette locks.

“Except Another World?” he smirked.

“Yes, except that. But you know what this means?”

“What does this mean, Y/N?”

“You have to teach me the dance.”

“Y/N, you can’t dance, love.”

“Well, I didn’t think you could either until you showed me this!”

Now is the time for guts and guile.

[nataliedanovelist]

GF - National Treasure

An AU in which Ford and Stan didn’t have a stupid fight, and the Pines family had been entrusted with a secret generations ago...

~~~~~~~~~~

The pair of eight-year-old twins carefully opened the screechy door to the attic. Inside the room was filled to the brim with boxes and old random stuff, but Mabel and Dipper knew better. They grinned and started to explore.

They were at Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford’s house for Thanksgiving. Normally the weather is bright and sunshiny and it’s perfect for making leaf piles and running around, but not today. Today it was raining with the occasional ring of thunder and a flash of lightning. So rather than go outside while the adults sat around the burning stove and talked about boring adult stuff, the kids decided to go on a little adventure.

Mabel flipped a switch and a sad hanging lightbulb turned on. Seeing what they wanted, Dipper grinned and started to climb cardboard boxes like steps for a book up on the highest stack. Mabel held the boxes still for her brother, and together they retrieved the old maroon book encrusted with a gold emblem. Mabel made sure Dipper climbed down safely, and then they looked down at the book together with their backs to the door, a poor decision.

“Whatcha got there?”

The kids gasped loudly and turned around. Standing side by side was their great-uncles, the only other pair of twins in the family. Grunkle Ford stood in his slacks and red sweater-vest with a brown dress shirt and trenchcoat, a soft smile on his face and his six-fingered hands in his pockets. Grunkle Stan had his arms crossed over his beefy chest, smiling slyly at the kids, as if telling them silent that he was proud of them for being so sneaky. He wore worn blue jeans and a faded white tank-top, and had an old maroon robe on.

“Uh…” Dipper stuttered, still a little startled by the sudden appearance and for getting caught. “Um… we…”

“You both know you’re not supposed to be up here.” Grunkle Ford reminded them gently, not sounding at all angry, rather amused.

Dipper nodded, but Mabel was bold enough to admit, “We just wanted to know the truth.”

“Ah,” Grunkle Stan pulled a cardboard box to himself and sat comfortably. “I guess I’m up for a little storytelling.”

Grunkle Ford sat on a separate box and asked his brother, “Are you sure about this, Stanley?”

“They’re old enough.” Grunkle Stan said confidently, ruffling their little heads. Giggling, Mabel crawled up onto Grunkle Stan’s lap and Dipper sat on Grunkle Ford’s lap, the book still in his tight grasp.

“Tell us a story, tell us a story!” Mabel pleaded, bouncing on Grunkle Stan’s lap.

“Okay, okay.” The old man chuckled and began to tell his story. “It was 1852…”

“No it was not.” Grunkle Ford interrupted. “It was 1832.”

“Shaddup, I’m telling the story!”

“I’d let you tell it id you would tell it correctly.”

The kids giggled at the playful bickering and Grunkle Stan joined in. “Alright, fine, it was 1832. It was storming, kinda like it is right now, and late into the night. Charles Carroll was the last guy who had signed the Declaration of Independence and was still alive.”

“You do know what that is, right?” Grunkle Ford asked the children, who both nodded.

“We learned about it in school.” Dipper informed.

“Oh, good.”

“Anyways,” Grunkle Stan injected, excited to tell his story. “Charles Carroll was part of a secret society called The Masons.”

“Like me!” Dipper gasped.

Grunkle Ford chuckled and ruffled his hair. “That’s right, my boy. That’s right.”

“You see, this Charles guy was dying.” Grunkle Stan went on. “And so he had his stable boy drive him in the dark storm to the White House so he could talk to Andrew Jackson.”

“Why?” Mabel asked.

“Cuz Charles had an important secret to tell the president before he died.”

“Did he talk to him?” Dipper asked.

Ford shook his head. “No. He never got the chance. You see, the stable boy went to alter the president, but he wasn’t home that evening.”

“Probably too busy kicking Indians outta their homes.” Grunkle Stan muttered bitterly.

“Stanley,” Grunkle Ford hissed warningly.

“So, with no one else to tell his secret to, Charles locked himself inside the carriage with the stable boy, our grandfather’s grandfather, James Pines, and told him his secret.” Grunkle Stan said.

“What was his secret?” Dipper asked.

The old men exchanged smiles, then whispered at the same time, “A treasure.”

A crack of thunder and lightning made the children hold onto their great-uncle tightly. “A treasure beyond all imagining.” Grunkle Ford muttered.

“A treasure that had been fought over for centuries by tyrants, pharaohs, emperors, warlords.” Grunkle Stan added.

“And every time it changed hands, it grew bigger and bigger.”

“And then suddenly,” Grunkle Ford snapped his fingers. “It vanished. And it didn’t reappear until over a thousand years later, when knights from the first crusades discovered secret vaults beneath the Temple of King Solomon.”

“You kids do know who King David and Solomon are, right?” Grunkle Stan double-checked. When Dipper and Mabel nodded, he went on with the story. “The knights who found it agreed it was too good for anybody, so they brought the treasure to Europe and formed a group called The Knight Templar.”

“Over the next century, they smuggled it out of Europe.” Grunkle Ford narrated. “They formed a new brotherhood called The Free Masons, after the builders of the great temple. But then the Revolutionary War happened, but by then the treasure had been hidden again.”

“And The Free Masons now included folks like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere.” Grunkle Stan said. “They knew they had to make sure the British never got their dirty hands on it, so they devised a series of clues and maps to each location. Over time, the clues were lost or forgotten. That is, except for one last clue, and that’s what Charles wanted to give to the president, but he gave it to James Pines.”

Grunkle Ford and Dipper opened the book, and the old researcher pulled out an old piece of paper, then read it out-loud to the children. “The secret lies with Charlotte.”

“Charlotte?” Mabel repeated. “Who’s she?”

“No one knows.” Grunkle Ford answered. “Not even poor Charles Carroll knew.”

“But, the Masons and the Founding Fathers were clever, like us.” Grunkle Stan reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill, showing the kids the symbols. “The unfinished pyramid, the all-seeing eye. Those are symbols of the Guardians of the Temple. They’re speaking to us, just in a language we don’t speak yet.”

They all heard warm chuckling and looked at the doorway to see Dipper and Mabel’s father standing in a red flannel and smiling at the warm scene. “Or they thought it looked cool and decided to put it on their money so other countries would take them seriously.”

Grunkle Stan shook his head and pocketed his cash. “Your old man doesn’t believe in the Free Masons anymore.”

“I just think our Founding Fathers were a little too busy fighting for their lives and freedom to have time to hide the world’s largest treasure and leave clues on how to find it.” Alex said with a shrug. “Anyway, we really should get going. Thanks again for having us over, you guys.”

“Of course, we’re always happy to see you all.” Grunkle Ford reassured as the old men put the kids down and stood up.

Alex went downstairs, and Grunkle Ford and Stan moved to follow, but a small voice stopped them. “Grunkle Stan, Grunkle Ford, are…” Dipper stopped, shy and hesitant, and rubbed his arm bashfully. 

But Mabel understood him and finished the question for him. “Are we knights?”

Grunkle Stan laughed and Grunkle Ford chuckled warmly at their children. “You both wanna be?” Grunkle Stan asked.

The kids nodded excitedly.

“Okay. Kneel.” Grunkle Stan instructed.

Dipper and Mabel obeyed. Grunkle Stan shed his robe and grape it over Dipper’s shoulders, meanwhile Grunkle Ford took off his trenchcoat and decorated Mabel with it in the same manner. Then Grunkle Stan took out his pocket knife, popped it open, and held it upward, like a sword.

“Mason and Mabel Pines, as great-great-great-great-grandkids of James Pines, do you take the duties…” Grunkle Stan snorted. “Heh. Duties.”

Grunkle Ford groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose while the kids giggled. “Do you swear to take the responsibilities of the Templars, the Masons, and the family Pines?”

“We so swear.” Dipper and Mabel harmonized, and then Grunkle Stan lightly tapped each of their shoulders with his tiny sword.

At once the kids got up and hugged their uncles, Mabel to Grunkle Ford and Dipper to Grunkle Stan, but the old pair of brothers brought them all together for a big warm hug.

The pot is on the boil at our son's place so he's going to post a couple things for me and with me and Hera and Freya

-and with some of Olympus yes we have a situation here the whole place is a swill hole and that's our son's neighborhood and has been deemed that by the max and formally called that and he said it's no place for him to be stuck and that's what they're doing to him and it's horrific and they don't understand things that are going on as we explained over and over and it's major stuff and we won't we don't want to tell them once again they're always in the damn way and they're stupid he said it was later in the day and he said that they don't understand why you would have to stop ships like that and some people got it and they're pulling people out of their houses all over Charlotte county and fort Myers and Mac went on to say that they're despicably stupid and he knows about it now he said these people are slow to react about everything and nothing ever works that they do and I want them the hell out of here we figured out what our son is saying you have like no motivation to do anything and that's what it means so we are going to town all these idiots and other people are too

-we noticed that his septic is messed up and he was going to say something no he said it he said if it's in the backyard it'll probably fail a lot if it's in the front it's kind of sits there and survive somehow because the pavement seals it in and water doesn't get to it so he looked around and like nobody was reacting and they kept saying it's failing anyways and what we say is it feels a little when it starts working, they say why do you want to fix it and it's because it's open sewer and because we think we could make it work and help design it secretly and they get mad they said we already got open sewer buddy and it's not much and they're all saying it too what's happening here is nothing so trying to push for the septic to be replaced or fixed and they just barely want the objects and they're horrendous people and Stan doesn't want to do it at all and Israel is rejecting it and he is a stubborn nothing doesn't want to do anything ever it is nobody but it starts having an effect and it started today and people looking at it they were going after the people that say the wrong stuff and it's amazing there's a big push for it and he also said if I have money and it said it before that people tend to threaten me a lot more and he's got cash on him and a lot of people are threatening him and they feel good about it whether they get anything or not and it's ridiculous and it's going to get hit and there's nothing in it for you and it's not really a game so a lot of people saying that too and if you had like a million dollars in the bank you'd all be trying for it and trying to get into buy stuff and he would look like he was loaded and would probably act like it and right now nobody can even tell what he's doing it's a fun deal

I'm going to publish cuz I saw how the first paragraph affected people

Thor Freya

I saw it too there are a lot of them that said we're not doing a damn thing here he's not out of his way he's not displaced the sewer works most of the time kind of stinks occasionally but then it has recovery and it's not like ours which are new and they don't work at all lots of times they're not really mad and they said we know which ones don't work and it started laughing

Hera

I see that he gets it it's this old system that works and some old timer made it from scratch and says probably a relative and Ken says he knows who and it works great it is an odd system it's oddly designed and it's lasted for a long time and it takes finesse and nuance and a friend is too young to know although he figured something out the other day yeah urine and a unclogs the clog and it breaks up some solids and you just don't add too much and it works and the system comes back and it works and it was amazing but really you probably don't want to mess with it but everyone's bothering me and you're saying if you don't do the roof you might have to move people are pressuring me on that one too

Stan

They also noticed that if the roof is messed up they're going to fix it even if it's not a new roof and everyone's paying attention to it but it is plastic and they don't want plastic up and it makes it look really bad and they haven't seen that it's attracting attention and nobody seems to want to do the roof so those are things too it does have an effect and the one that works is like this

Here's a roof over said they're maintaining it it's plastic it doesn't really do it whole health a lot except make it hotter and it kills off the fungus and the moisture somehow leaves cuz the heat

Thor Freya and he's sweating out the Prilosec and other chemicals they find it on his laundry no but somebody tested one of his garments he left behind and no he didn't do that except for the pillowcase and they did test it and yeah there's a bunch of chemicals in it

Olympus

[non-sequitura]

Non-sequitura Disney in-depth analysis (after making a tier list)

Warning: SUPER longform. If you don’t know a movie well, you should skip the summary. I tried to be light on spoilers, but they’re there.

I went chronologically from favorite to least favorite. So S tier is, in order from fave to least fave, The Incredibles, WALL-E, then Zootopia.

S tier (Something I consider high quality AND a movie I greatly enjoy. I would love more Disney movies be like this.)

The Incredibles - one of my favorite movies of all time, possibly THE favorite. Rockin social commentary, epic action scenes, memorable characters, not a minute of screentime wasted, great take on the Fantastic Four, hilarious parts for both adults and children, an interesting villain, etc. 

WALL-E - I love how social commentary was done here. Also skies above, what a beautiful love story. Really blazed a trail in non-verbal storytelling (especially given it was an animated kids film!) Robot animations are particularly delightful. 

Zootopia - another social message delivered excellently and entertainingly. I love Judy and her persistence, I love the expressiveness of the faces and the epic city setting. I love Judy and Nick's banter. This movie deserves to be remembered longer than it has been so far. Admittedly, not one of my fave villains, which makes it my least favorite of the Ss. 

A tier (either super high quality or something I greatly enjoy and deem of at least reasonably good quality)

Mulan - this movie did everything right. Truly feminist protagonist, an icon for strong Asian women, fairly culturally accurate (tho Mushu confuses me), GORGEOUS and iconic music. Lets a relatively natural romance develop. I frickin love the action scenes, I love the emporer. Sadly, this movie just didn't lodge its way in my heart as well as Pixar did. Pixar just has some magic, yo. 

Cinderella - my gosh what an underrated protagonist. Her family straight-up abuses her and she never loses sight of her goals for a better life. Iconic visuals helped bring Disney out of bankruptcy. A gorgeous alto singing voice. 

Wreck-it Ralph - alright alright ppl don’t crucify me for this. I honestly can’t think of much wrong with this movie. Vanellope and Ralph’s vitriolic best buds relationship is adorable, her forgiveness of him is heartwarming and (relatively) deserved, rockin’ Owl City song, epic visuals that mix together bc of all the different games. ALSO ONE OF THE BEST DISNEY VILLAINS NO CAP. One of the only twist villains I like. And we stan the romantic pairing. 

Tangled - I’ve talked about this a lot, but Rapunzel deserved the whole world after what she’s gone through. That being said, Gothel is not some shallow monster she needs to escape from, but an intelligent, well-defined monster with backstory. I could totally see this story happening if the world of Tangled existed. Epic love story, hilarious dialogue. Music is… good but much of it is less memorable to me. Visuals are good but not quite at the level/creativity of many other disney films. 

The Lion King - they really put Hamlet in Africa and pulled it off lol. But in all seriousness, no one took the premise of this film seriously at the time and it became sooo iconic. I love Scar and his eventual downfall, I love how Simba grows emotionally, I love the sad moments that don’t overpower the overall feeling of light goofiness. And music so memorable it was one of the first Disney musicals. 

Coco - not a super unique story premise. But an incredible culture to explore with such creativity and sensitivity. I love the themes of death not being the worst and music being so central to the story. Twist/twist villain was memorable and not expected. And yeah, it did make me cry, so props there. 

Ratatouille - the most recently watched of these films for me. This movie is soooo unique! Back when Pixar was truly super out there with their concepts. Super Parisian visuals and soundtrack. It somehow starts goofy (THE OLD LADY TRIES TO KILL REMY WITH A SHOTGUN WHILE WEARING A GAS MASK) but really drives home the message that you can truly do what you want regardless of who you are. Colette can get it. And the monologue by Ego at the end is one of my favorites in film. 

Frozen - Anna is one of my favorite Disney protagonists. She’s so resilient and loyal. Elsa ain’t bad either but she experiences… less character development. The film is a tad too pleased with its own self-awareness for my taste, but there’s no denying how iconic the music and visuals were. 

Inside Out - Alright, this movie hits home for me bc I tried to run away after moving. A super thoughtful, heartfelt depiction of (potentially depression? imo) with great moments of humor. Riley’s inner world is so creative and lovely. Also realistic depictions of Minnesota/California culture. 

Tarzan - Jane! is! smart! and! adorable! Her scientific curiosity makes her very endearing. it’s so cute to see her and Tarzan learn from each other. Also Tarzan’s “found mother” is epic. Solid score. Solid film all around. To quote Lily Orchard, “This film is what Pocahontas tried to be.” 

B tier (one of my favorites but has a few significant flaws that bring it down (or not quite as memorable to me, but consider good quality))

Peter Pan - Haven’t seen it in a hot sec, but I remember being super charmed by this as a kid. Just going out, having incredible adventures, and returning to a warm home at the end of the day. Tinker Bell is hilarious and beautifully drawn. Gets major negative points for the depiction of Native Americans tho. 

Big Hero 6 - I was super charmed by the protagonist, his family/friends, and the setting. The plot/villain’s motivations are a bit of a mess, though. 

Princess and the Frog - This movie has so much flavor to it! The visuals/music are lovely and unique. Tiana is incredible but it’s kinda annoying how EVERYONE keeps trying to shoehorn her into romance. The thing is, her goals are entirely reasonable. Focus on her restaurant, then look to settle down. But they’re like “nooo you’re ignoring the important things in life” smh. Also, epic villain, woohoo! The movie dragged significantly for me when they were in the bayou. Charlotte is delightful. 

Winnie the Pooh - don’t remember it super well, but I think it was charming and occasionally dark, which is an addictive concoction. 

The Little Mermaid - MAN ppl roast Ariel way more than she deserves. Visually, it was… fine. idk. This movie is good. I don’t have much else to say about it. 

Snow White - the one that started it all. Visually, super impressive. Musically, lovely. I find the romance a bit… off. Well, more than a bit. What is it with Disney and kissing sleeping people? 

Alice in Wonderland - a nerdy acid trip. Right up my alley! I also like films where ppl go on incredible adventures and return to the status quo, but THEY changed bc of it. Epic. SUUUUPER creative visual interpretation of Carroll’s book. Brave - gosh I loooove films where a parent and child learn to understand each other. Never got why ppl hated this movie so much. The Scottish flavor is present and fun. Merida made one mistake and made it up. The arrow scene is iconic. 

Cars - a fun ride! (hahaha puns.) We love seeing Paul Newman as a car. 

B-minus tier? (same as B, but problematic, or weaker story-wise.)

Hunchback - man… settings-wise, this film might be my favorite. I also love Esmeralda and Quasimodo as characters and as a duo (though the sexualized depiction of Romani ppl is not epic.) I also don’t find the discrimination against Esmeralda/Quasimodo jarring bc it matches the time period. Frollo is super interesting as a villain. The gargoyles are… def not necessary. Basically, this film doesn’t know what it’s doing with tone. 

Sleeping Beauty - Aurora was my favorite when I was younger because I thought she was the prettiest, and that still defines how i feel about this, basically. Visually lovely - everything is kind of elongated and gothic. Maleficent is spiteful and epic. I have no issue with the fluffier parts of the movie, like the music or the fairies. RIP for lack of consent being a plot point, though. 

Hercules - Megara is incredible. one of the only Disney “princesses” who acts like an adult and has cynicism as a major part of her personality. I love her and Herc’s progression where she learns to trust him (yes, he is genuinely that sincere, it’s not a front.) Muses are unique, whoever came up with them was high on something and I’m living for it. I just think the plot itself was somewhat unrealistic/ weirdly-paced. There are some memorable songs, some less-than-memorable songs. Art style is cool but I’m personally not a fan. EXTREMELY inaccurate depictions of the original Greek gods. 

C tier (entertaining, but I don't consider it a great movie)

Bolt - I watched this like 11 years ago. It was fun! A cool concept about those put on a pedestal learning their worth even without celebrity boosting them up. Animation was… fine I think. not super memorable to me. 

Frozen 2 - They really took any scrap of character development Elsa had in the first movie, threw it in the garbage and set it on fire. Anna deserved so much better. Songs are bombastic and impressive, have the occasional interesting lyric, but are really weirdly placed and none are quite as iconic as the first movie’s (except Aurora, she does great work here. Also the song Anna sings after she thinks Elsa died.) 

Not a big fan of the vaguely homeopathic theme. Not a big fan of Olaf’s WEIRD character development. Not a big fan of the suuuuuper awkward dialogue and the animations that imply not only that Kristoff is into his reindeer but that Elsa and Anna are into each other (if you’re questioning if they did that, yes, they did, I can find screenshots of some really weird expressions/moments. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO PANDER TO YOUR WEIRD FANS, DISNEY.) 

The voice actors did great work, the animators did great work (look at the details on their clothes! Look at how Elsa’s posture changes to be more confident! look at how they're animated while they're singing!) Some weird costume/makeup choices that make Elsa look like an aging starlet, but she also has some gorgeous moments so eh. It’s a wash for me. 

They really did not know what to do with Kristoff this movie, huh. The only thing that happened to him was singing a cheesy 90s ballad and marrying Anna, both of which were admittedly epic. Also, the trolls got 0 appearances despite being literally psychic. Probably could have helped with a lot. I'm not a huge fan of lore/worldbuilding, and thee was a lot of it here. Overall neutral on it. 

Also a big theme in this movie I don’t love - **** TANGIBLE CONSEQUENCES TO OUR ACTIONS!!! The danger is Elsa’s death, the elements, colonialism, and Arendelle literally being destroyed. None of those end up playing out, so I was left at the end going “this film had literally no stakes.” 

Monsters U - same as above - entertaining at the time! Not super memorable. The ppl we were supposed to dislike kept switching. Doesn’t really match the canon of Monsters Inc (I thought they were supposed to have known each other since childhood so why did they meet in college?) 

Cars 3 - so apparently, everyone HATED this movie! Fun! I never watched Cars 2 (yes watched Cars 1 if you haven’t been paying attention to this list), but I didn’t think this movie was bad at all. Well-acted, some fun chase scenes, the scene where Lightning fails at driving in the simulation is genuinely hilarious, and some interesting perspectives on teachers getting the spotlight for their skills for once. 

Incredibles 2 - I liked this film at first, but then it was… just okay in retrospect. I love me some good family dynamics. The plot here makes not a lot of sense. THEY BUILT UP THE UNDERMINER FOR NOTHING AND THEN FORGOT ABOUT HIM. I was surprised by the villain swap, but it happened so last minute I never really understood their motivations even after they explained them. Tried to tackle waaaay too many messages. 

D tier (I didn't enjoy these or consider them mediocre)

Finding Dory - Maybe I should have put this higher? Like C tier at least. Ah well. Wasn’t a huge fan of the body/physical comedy (not my thing), but it was entertaining and awww finding family is heartwarming. 

Finding Nemo - I remember nothing about this movie. 

E tier (this film has significant problems)

Beauty and the Beast - *sigh*… I want to love this movie. The score is gorgeous. Visually, they could have made it more distinctly Rococo-era France but didn’t (why?) The voice actors did good work and I think Paige O’Hara is SUPER underrated here. 

The Beast is emotionally manipulative with an awful temper that (for MOST of the movie. He doesn’t change.) That’s the main reason this is in E tier. This movie shaped so many generations of people thinking they can change the behavior of someone who treats them badly through the power of love. But you can’t. She learns to “love” the beast under coercion. It’s not Stockholm syndrome - it’s a trashy romance novel. Big fan of Gaston as a villain. He’s an archetype ppl can recognize and it’s so satisfying to hate him.

F tier (I think this film actively harms the industry and would rather it not have been made. Both the one in E tier could be considered harmful to the industry, but I think they had significant enough artistic accomplishments to scrape above that. I'm also generally a fan of "lack of censorship bc it's better to teach what not to do.")

Pocahontas - this movie took real historical events and romanticized them AND sexualized one of the only Native princesses they’ve had. Boo. Nothing wrong with animation!Pocahontas as a character, it’s just people put her in a story that doesn’t represent history well at all (and these historical events, unlike those in say, 14th-century Germany, had super relevant effects on people alive today.) And they portrayed the Native Americans and colonial settlers as equally in the wrong. (though I like Governor Radcliffe as a potential villain and love the line “see how I glitter.” I can’t NOT laugh when I hear it.) Lovely music, though. Nice animation, but the colors are weirdly… muted? 

Bad Garbage (I don't wish this film had never been made, but I wish I never had to see it.)

Planes - this movie was ridiculous. I remember not much about it except that I kinda hated it and that it was super cheesy with tension one could see right through that immediately resolved itself via one twist or another.
