My dad: *texts my mom the day after Father’s Day to see if I was mad at him because I didn’t call him*

Also my dad: *sends me a text on Easter and then radio silence for months* *does not call to ask if I have plans for my birthday* *does not text to check in on me* *does not invite me over to his house for anything ever* *allows my stepmom to use his money to prioritize her kids over me* *literally doesn’t ever act like he wants anything to do with me actually* *cancels or changes plans at the last minute because he decides he wants to drink instead* *offers to help my mom pay my car payments and then never does* *gets us gym memberships and then cancels them without warning because he didn’t have the money and just doesn’t tell me* *cannot hold a thirty second conversation without mentioning ‘the Chinese threat’ or ‘Covid was invented by democrats to replace Trump in office’*

My dad: Why doesn’t my child call me? I am the specialist most important person in the whole wide world. What could she have to be mad about?

I don’t live my life thinking a lot about money, trying to ‘get’ more money, or not having enough money yet I am not motivated by money either. The act of receiving more money does not make me rush to hurry up and finalize my books or open up my school. I can’t remember the last time I worried about money because having money is an intimate frequency and energy of FREEDOM. You have to break the frequencies of constantly penny-pinching, being stingy, allowing how much money you have in the bank to dictate your mood or living afraid to buy the very things that you need that will expand or evolve you, which is not the same thing as shopping all the time as a coping mechanism for being human, incurring consumer debt or being irresponsible and reckless with your money. And your life force will never thrive when you are a slave or prisoner to money.

The Practical and Spiritual Journey to Making More Money —You Must Enlist Your Warrior and Your Energy

You have to look at earning money like a game and enjoy growing your money and playing the game or else you never win. Not just saving or hoarding it away in your bra but allowing your money to work for you while you sleep like putting it in stocks. I have a degree in Accounting and have always believed that women were born to be skilled in financials but we are socialized to perceive ourselves not. But when you were born with a womb, you are naturally gifted at multiplying a seed into something much larger and intelligent like a whole baby. You are a natural amplifier, nourishing and growing what has been received. Be willing to look into investments and not be afraid of accumulating “healthy debt” and learn to move your money around in order to grow it. Look to investing part of your earnings into different funds, even if it is just cutting back on buying coffee and putting that money you would have paid for a daily coffee into a savings that will accrue and be used to invest in the future. If you already have cash flow, getting rental property to airbnb or sell (everyone I know that is quietly wealth-oriented owns at least 2-3 homes) which can be overwhelming to think about when living pay check-to-pay check but just beginning to think about how you can earn more money from your own money passively gets the ball rolling in your consciousness like what would it be like to open up a laundry mat, build it up and sell it in a few years for huge profit? Laundry mat ownership is such a fast lucrative business, just like what you see in the hood in movies. Or buy a raggedy house, build it up and sell it for a higher cost and incredible profit. Some of you straight and bi women entrepreneurs who are ready for good lovers must find love and attraction with lovers who are builders and handymen and can help to upscale and modernize your home that you can then resale for great profit and stop messing with dusties who have zero skill sets and create more stress on your life. 🙏🏿 Because when you live a highly stressful, parasympathetic, flight or fight life, the first thing you lose is your sexual desire or libido i.e. your umlimited creative power. No thank you!

If you have a spiritual business like me, you can do deals underneath the table but also work towards a LLC to legitimize your company which gives you tax breaks and allows you to earn more money. Something about going through the channels to make something official moves it from just being a hobby to a legit business. As magical spiritual woman, your power move is to attract someone willing to invest in your work as a start-up. If you do, you must cherish this person, love this person with all your heart, hips and soul (if the relationship is romantic but of course it can also be platonic or familial, either way, love this person), adore them deep and true. The person, this angelic being, this God, is saving you massive stress and headache. Their presence in your life serves a larger purpose —you must help them to understand this because our world teaches us to be so fearful and suspicious of being helped or helping someone rather than gracious and honored. Too many people are missing out on great blessings of interdependence because they live afraid and suspicious of the big heart of another human. So sad that many amazing beautiful people are stuck in their little corners hoarding away and missing out on healing, thriving, and experiencing the gifts and/or talents of another human because of how we have been wired to perceive the desire to meet one another’s needs and desires by status quo culture. To be a woman who can love someone in ways that relax their body so deeply that they can finally get out of their head and rest well and regenerate their tissues at night is incredibly priceless.

**This is not the same thing as looking for a handout, walking around broken like the world owes you something or hoping someone will help because you tell a victimization story. It is about being mature and resourceful and consciously manifesting what is needed and not simply what would be cool or cute potentially through love and loving.

But not every woman is ready or qualified for the aforementioned experience because you do have to develop skills that will be greatly useful, nourishing, nurturing, decompressing, relaxing or expansive or beneficial in other ways to another person. You can’t just be attractive or whatever. You have to be a woman who has developed a certain ease and peace in her body and life first and and that is what joining my school and online temple will help you master. And I personally believe you must also really love someone if the harmony is right because 1. love is incredible and healthy for the body to experience for however long it lasts 2. love is essential for the brightest sustained outcome. I’m not talking about the “sprinkle, sprinkle“ foolishness being promoted online. I am advocating for more love between people and all that comes with truly loving someone.

Be so skillful in your mature womanhood that you don't run from challenges, but face and engage them head on, and refine, recalibrate, and evolve beyond them. Never lose the boundaries that you are running a business albeit a spiritual one but still a business. Stay devoted and disciplined, both are essential. Work towards hiring people who can help you scale and grow eventually.

The Spiritual Journey to Making More Money—You Must Invoke Your Lover

The key to having more money is to learn to surrender and trust and truly allow the universe to be your provider, which is not an intellectual idea but a frequency of feminine energy. This is less about gender and more about the willingness to live a little bit beyond the egoic surface layer of reality of urgency that tells you to hurry and produce, to hoard or take or trigger you to constantly need to check off a to-do list, always needing to plan or to cross your t’s and dot your i’s which will allow you to buy that nice house and cute car eventually, but could greatly inhibit your energy from flowing where you never really can feel the joy of a simple moment pulse up your spine because you live in stress and overwork for external things that never make you fully truly happy.

No matter what stage of life you are, the undercurrent of your reality must feel like more relaxation and freedom if you want to have more money but not exhaust yourself in rigorous pursuit and constant labor for it.

I had to learn to draw in the frequency of freedom—to laugh at myself, to play, to rest, to relax, to do silly shit like twirling throughout my day —when life was very stressful, drama was high, and money was low. Neighbors would see me twirling. I would sometimes twirl for customers whose shopping totals were over 200 dollars. Because changing frequencies or weaving new realities is most potent when life is hard. You have to discover strategic ways to do the things you really want to do in life but was told you couldn’t afford. You must also have this hunger and desire to play the game of life to win while laughing at yourself along the way as you refine more and more and develop intimacy with the currencies of relaxation, love and freedom, which naturally include having more money.

But do not just copy and paste and take from others. Give. —India Ame’ye

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Introduction to Armchair Activism

Current feelings about the state of radblr.

Fundamentals

"Yes, Everyone on the Internet Is a Loser." Luke Smith. Sep 3, 2022. YouTube.

An activist movement can be a place to build community with like-minded people, but action is its foremost purpose, not community. To allow yourself and other activists to remain effective, you are obliged to abandon your personal dislikes of other individual activists. Disagreements are worth discussion, but interpersonal toxicity is not.

Connect with in-person community and do not unhealthily over-prioritize online community. Over-prioritization of online community is self-harm.

Luke is a loser, but his channel is teeming with entry-level digital literacy information and advice pertaining to healthy use of technology for us cyborgs.

"Surveillance Self-Defense: Tips, Tools and How-Tos For Safer Online Communication." Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Hackblossom, outdated, is discontinued. The EFF project Surveillance Self-Defense is up-to-date, comprehensive, and follows personal educational principles of simplicity and concision.

To learn more about general (not focused solely on personal action) cybersecurity, visit Cybersecurity by Codecademy and Cyber Security Tutorial by W3Schools. Both contain further segueways into other important digital literacies.

Direct recommendation: Install and set up the linux distribution Tails on a cheap flash drive.

Direct recommendation: Develop your own home network security schema.

Direct recommendation: Always enable 2FA security for Tumblr, disable active / inactive status sharing, and learn to queue reblogs and posts to protect against others' interpretations of your time zone.

Direct recommendation: It's both possible and relatively simple to host your own instance of a search engine using SearXNG.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture.

As a remote activist (even if also a hybrid activist), none of your action should be taken on, using, or interfacing with non-zero-knowledge-architecture services. Tumblr is, of course, a risk in and of itself, but you should not be using services provided by companies such as Google, Microsoft, or any others based in or with servers hosted in 13-eyes agreement nations.

Search for services (email, word processor, cloud storage) which emphasize zero-knowledge architecture. Businesses whose services are structured as such cannot hand over your data and information, as they cannot access it in the first place. If they cannot access the majority of your metadata, either - all the better.

Communications for Armchair Activism

"Technical Writing." Google.

Contained within the linked page at Google Developers, the self-paced, online, pre-class material for courses Technical Writing One, Technical Writing Two, and Tech Writing for Accessibility teach activists to communicate technical concepts in plain English.

"Plain Language." U.S. General Services Administration.

Plain language is strictly defined by U.S. government agencies, which are required to communicate in it for simplicity and quick, thorough comprehension of information.

"Explore Business Law." Study.com.

Extensive courses are offered to quickly uptake principles of business law such as antitrust law, contract law, financial legislation, copyright law, etc. Legal literacy is often the difference between unethical action of a business and its inaction. Legal literacy is also often the difference between consideration and investment in your policy idea and lack thereof.

"Business Communication." Study.com.

Now that you're able to communicate your prioritized information, you may also initiate writing with bells and whistles. While other activists care most about the information itself, business communication allows you to communicate your ideas and needs to those who you must convince worthiness of investment to and win over.

Logic.

Learn it through and through. Start with fallacies if you're better at language and work your way backwards to discrete mathematics; start with discrete mathematics if you're better at maths and work your way forwards to fallacies, critical literacy, and media literacy. State that which you intend to state. Recognize empiricism and rationalism for what they are. Congratulations: you are both a mathematician and a law student.

Economic Literacy for Armchair Activism

"Microeconomics." Khan Academy.

"Macroeconomics." Khan Academy.

The globe operates on profitability. Women's unpaid labor is a massive slice of the profitability pie. While it's possible to enact change without understanding all that drives the events around you, it's impossible to direct or meaningfully manipulate the events around you beyond your scope of comprehension.

Understand economics or be a sheep to every movement you're active in and to every storm that rolls your way.

[waythroughtheice]

One of the best parts of Geo Wily is that Luna will eventually show up.

I can't decide if its funnier if she ignores the cult completely or starts trying to organise them so Geo can actually go to school. She definitely doesn't really blame him in this universe.

She's seen what they can do when Geo isn't holding the toddler leash. (He had a sick day.) They would have broken all of the transportation infrastructure if they didn't get a wheezy call from "boss" telling them to knock it off. This was a couple years ago. Who knows what they'd do now.

If Luna just. Casually ignores them there'd be shenanigans involving the Cult trying to recruit an entire school. Luna'd have enemies.

If she helps organise the Cult the cult thinks they're all dating. Geo has a poly? Dating a superstar girl too? Okay. Kid has skills. (Geo only learns they think this several years later.) But hey. They also listen to his friends now?

When the cult finds out about Megaman they are super supportive about "stealing your enemies' name!" Less supportive about the superhero bit. Mostly because he's being chased by cops already. Why is he making it worse. The cult declares Zero (I hope that's the name Kazuma uses. I might be guessing wrong. Limited knowledge) their enemy arount this time. Balance semi restored.

No matter what all happens Wily is insistent that this is all according to his plan. (There is no plan. Wily is a liar. Wily is just glad his kid has friends his own age.)

Hope knows about none of this. Kelvin was very careful to keep her away from the Cult. She has made friends with the Cultists that drop Geo off regularly. She thinks they're Kelvin's cousins. Geo is sufferig with knowledge. The Cult behaves when Hope is arount. Help Geo. Please?

Omega-Xis and Wily teach these kids swears. They are horrible influences. Tom gets adopted by Wily and the cult. Geo only hears little stories. Geo does not know what is actually happening and asks the Cult to keep him safe from any rivals. Making it worse. Viscous cycle. Boreal keeps increasing security but they "kEEP GETTING IN THEY'RE LIKE ANTS I SWEAR! Oh hey Geo. Can you do something? It usually gets better for a bit when I talk to you. Because today Tom got-" it takes years for everyone to figure it out.

Geo still area hops. Confusing every cop keeping and ear out for the Wily heir. Copper is the only one not worried about plans. Copper has seen Geo yell at his cult that he has no words and then lecture them about not causing chaos for four hours. Copper at this point has seen some shit.

The Cult (and Wily) only really get dissapointed in Geo and Co. when they work for the police in three. And even then The Cult also does not want a meteor to the face so they can deal with it *cue another four hour Geo lecture.*

Kazuma should help with the meteor. I just think it'd be funny if they met while neither was ripping the other's name to shred by mistake. Bonding.

Solo is still normal Solo. The cult wants him. The cult will never get him. They want the rival on their side damn it!

Sorry just now I'm invested. (God fucking damn it I already have things to do.)

LOLOL

Okay, so--

I think Luna would regard Geo as a rival. Think of it! He has so many supporters already, and actually Luna discourages Geo from going to school (Geo never goes back to public school in this verse, too busy with homeschooling multiple grades ahead and his rivalry with one Kazuma Hikari.) They get into shenanigans with each other, and Luna decides she wants a cult following of her own. (The world trembles.)

The cult is so supportive of the tiny Boss. He's doing the Great Wily SO PROUD! He's stealing the enemy's name, taking all their supporters.....more people for the cult! They sell merchandise. Geo is appalled.

When Zero shows up (you got it!), they at first fight then become best friends. The cult decides Kazuma Hikari is absolutely the tiny Boss's right hand man. Look at the tiny boss go, subverting the enemy!

Hope is blissfully unaware of the chaos. The Cult loves her and her glorious cooking and baking. Geo is dying in the background.

Omega-Xis and Wily are best friends, in the vein of two old men cackling together in a back room. Yes yes yes to the swears, and yes to Tom getting adopted--Boreal also gets adopted. No he has no say why would he have a say?

Geo area hops, and the Cult is Confused but Very Supportive of his speed. He's expanded their reach! Look at his initiative! They follow wherever he goes, only to find him gone already. Oh well, guess it's time to start recruiting and sell merchandise......

They're disappointed at first until they realize the tiny Boss can destroy the police from within! Such initiative!

Kazuma is helping with the meteor. Such a terror. The Cult loves their right-hand man.

Solo is the lone sane man along with Geo. Geo and Solo meet up for drinks (read, soda) and to commiserate about their lives.

Hey bitches,

I'm 26, almost 27, and I don't have a savings, IRA, investments, anything. The reason for this is because I was very suicidal for a very long time, so I just didn't see the point of saving or making plans for the future, let alone retirement. I ended up moving back in with my parents because I didn't feel safe living on my own or with people who weren't family. It's only a few months ago that my mental health changed for the better, and ironically, now the fact that I am so far behind everyone else my age causes my depression and anxiety to worsen. Fortunately, finances is something that I know I can do something about, I just... don't know where to start.

Currently, I'm busy paying off student loans, so while I have a savings account, I don't put much into it. My job is fantastic in regards to work environment and coworkers and validating that I'm good at something - it definitely helped me find a will to live again - but it doesn't have benefits and it pays far below the national average for this position. I know finding a new job will help the money + moving out front and maybe even the IRA thing, because don't a lot of employers match what you put in there? But I'm admittedly reluctant/scared to job hunt again, because the jobs I had before this one were horrible and made my mental health issues even worse. I have a Bachelor's degree and everything, but since I was so suicidal all throughout university and up until a few months ago, I just... didn't bother looking into internships or anything, so this is my first job in my actual field. I don't know if it's bad to stay at a job that doesn't have benefits or pay too well while I'm still getting my feet under me and figuring out what life is like when you actually, you know, want to live it. And I know that you are not mental health professionals, so I don't know if you have any input there or not.

But generally speaking, when it comes to finances, I'm just... Not sure where I'm supposed to be. How much should a 26/27 year old have saved? Or in an IRA? Or in investments? And how do you balance all those things while paying for yourself to live on your own? Is it bad to stay somewhere that you know pays well below the national average while you're still figuring this life thing out, and then job search again later, when you feel steadier? Or is that shooting yourself in the foot?

I know this is a lot. Like I said, I'm kind of starting from zero in my late-20s pretty much, so... I don't even know where to start or what to focus on. Retirement, maybe? No idea. But any input/advice/articles you want to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for all that you do!

Honeybee... we are SO gd proud of you for staying alive. True--we're not mental health professionals! But we understand mental health struggles and how drastically they can affect your finances. So this is your official permission to forgive yourself for falling behind on money achievements while you were literally battling your own brain for the will to live. That is HUGE. You survived. Don't feel any guilt for that.

Next, stop thinking in terms of where you "should be" at your age. You're starting late by society's standards, and that's society's problem, not yours. Here is our advice on where to get started right now, at your stage regardless of age:

The Financial Order of Operations: 10 Great Money Choices for Every Stage of Life 

[hebrewbyinbal]

We all do it! looking at someone else's achievements (usually in an area we would love to excel too) and asking ourselves, "How did they get so good at this?" It could be anything—learning Hebrew, starting a business, or picking up a new hobby.

There is nothing more natural than looking at others and wondering, "Will I ever be that good? Can I really do this?"

As a Hebrew educator, I hear it all the time. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed when you see how fluent others are compared to where you're starting from. But here’s the thing:

The key to success is in silencing the comparing voices whenever they start going off, and bring your focus back to your own journey and progress.

Everyone who is great at something and once started from zero made it not by worrying about how others were doing but by concentrating on their own next step.

They didn’t get bogged down thinking about someone at step 20 while they were at step 1. They just focused on getting to step 2, then step 3, and so on.

Comparing yourself to others never helps your progress unless it motivates you to push forward. It is quite easy to feel which of the two you are, so just tune in and you'll see for yourself. If comparing does not motivate and push you to work harder to get there too,

next time you catch yourself comparing, invest in shifting your focus back to your own progress. Celebrate every victory - big or small (I mean it! every victory), and remember -

The most productive comparison is between where you are today and where you were yesterday.

Keep your eyes on your path, enjoy each step of your learning, and let your journey be about you, not about anyone else.

Fastest + Safest Way to Start a Business

Step 01 of 02: Open an FDIC insured high yield savings account.

Step 02 of 02: Don't touch the money for as long as possible. One could argue a "step 03" would be to have the interest generate for you, but that's not something you are doing, so I have omitted it.

My work comes in one of three general cycles (make art, write, do business stuff) and I'm coming off of a mini "do business stuff" cycle.

This invariably triggers my social media algorithms into ads about Amazon drop shipping, AirBnB shadow hosting or whatever the fuck you want to call it where someone else owns the property and you run it, every Invest Now in Real Estate with No Money scam, every Invest Now in the Stock Market with Our Money sales course... you get the picture.

If you're reading this, you've seen these things.

Here's a better idea if you are opening a business for the sole reason to make money:

Take your $10 - $10,000 or whatever it is, that you want to turn into a business, put it into a savings account, and since it is 2023, collect (in the USA) an extremely safe roughly 4% per year with zero further effort.

A business could possibly make you more than 4%.

It absolutely will be tremendously risky.

It absolutely will be a lot more work than the 2 minutes it takes to open a savings account.

The above also applies to stock market investing.

If you want to run a shop or business because you want to experience x-y-z in the industry, go for it.

If you want to make money, there are a lot of easier paths.

This post is inspired by, was bothering me until I took 10 minutes to write it, by a hundred scam ads shoved into my face while I'm researching thing for my shop + this video, which I generally agree with (I have a few quibble points, they are irrelevant):

I've seen a lot of negativity and skepticism about the future of OPLA, which, given Netflix's track record, is very much warranted! But I would also like to offer some counters to that line of thinking, some reasons to be genuinely optimistic about the show going forward:

- Stranger Things is ending, and Netflix desperately needs something to replace it. While One Piece definitely has a different tone and genre - action/adventure as opposed to horror/mystery - they target the same demographic; older children to adults. Netflix's other big shows have much narrower appeal (Squid Game - adults, Wednesday - teens)

- Yes, One Piece is very, very long. But the show has already demonstrated an ability to compress and weave together various arcs without it feeling like we're losing too much in the process. And besides that, Game of Thrones demonstrates pretty clearly that audiences will follow a show for as long as it's good. Possibly longer! (Let's be real; the good Game of Thrones ended at season 4)

- Unlike Game of Thrones, there is almost zero chance the show will run out of material to adapt before its source reaches an ending for it to work towards. One Piece the Manga is on the verge of legitimately coming to an end as we speak. The story is very clearly starting to head towards a climax; at some point within the next year or two, it will almost certainly reach its conclusion. Oda is no GRRM, he's been doing this continously for literal decades.

- One Piece is already a merchandising juggernaut. If they properly capitalize on it, Netflix could easily make back the budget they spend on each season in merch alone. Hell, One Piece is the kind of property that could easily support an entire theme park on its own. Any company that ostensibly wants to make money would be a fool to throw that away.

- And finally, even in the absolute worst case scenario, where it turns out Netflix is run by complete idiots who explicitly want to set money on fire, there is almost certainly going to be another media company not run by clowns to put the fire out and pick the show up again because, you know, they like money and would like to make more of it.

In conclusion, I think it's good to be skeptical and to temper your expectations, but we don't need to be doomers about it. There's a lot of legitimate business reasons why Netflix would want to invest a whole lot into One Piece to make sure it succeeds and continues succeeding. I think a lot rides on season 2 to prove that the show wasn't a fluke, and that they can keep churning out the good shit. So until then, let's just sit back and enjoy what we already have without worrying too much about the future.

I’m 35% into Valhalla and I need to vent a bit I have such a... Love/hate thing for this game???  I mean. From the “Mythology set” it would be my second-favorite, after Origins

(Which is an undisputed leader for the perfect mix of lovely world, lovely protagonists, and heart wrenching story which - most importantly - ties in to the Assassin lore)

Valhalla gets #2 after Origins for a very simple reason: while I may have issues with Eivor (not the writing; I find them pretty fleshed out, but for the moments when story decides to sod your dialogue choices and defaults to prideful hothead), I did not click with Kassandra, whom I decided to start Odyssey with. A little over 15% in, and I switched to Valhalla. I fully intend to see if Alexious would click better, after I’m done with Valhalla

(and just to clarify: I’m playing the “Let the Animus decide” option for Valhalla, co Eivor is female in main parts of game)

Now. One thing I have to mention: I’m a completionist and I’m easily sidetracked by non-mainline quests. Which means that, while I’m doing main plot quests in power level order and I’m only on Oxenefordscire Arc right now, I have a lever 5 settlement and 200 power for Eivor. Which means, I am at this point invested in the role playing aspect of game

And had a lot of time to tinker Eivor to my preferences Now, the thing I am having issues with: I have, as I mentioned, a love/hate situation for Eivor. I*like* how I got them acting at this point, and am managing to rock, more or less, the Hidden One aesthetic and behaviors now. Which yeah, comes with its own issues since you can’t really join the Brotherhood Point is, my Eivor isn’t going in guns blazing. They also aren’t going to get into your face and will consider other options if it’s beneficial for the situation. Even if it doesn’t exactly go with the “Dane” attitude to the problem Which makes the moments where the game goes more linear a problem Case in point, the start of Oxenefordscire. And the dialogue with Sigurd and Basim hit me right into the face. Because my Eivor isn’t going to toss accusations straight at Basim after seeing them act so odd. Not after having spent time running errands with Haytham and exploring old bureaus. The more likely option they’d entertain would be that someone got to both of them But instead, you have Eivor going all “Odin and Loki” in this situation - without any obvious reason?? I mean it would make sense if you play Eivor as the more aggressive type, but I did not. This kind of defeats the purpose for giving us the option to tune Eivor’s behavior - and in a scenario where, subjectively, Sigurd is the one acting more sus than Basim!  (Subjectively because, at this point, one can either see Sigurd as being influenced by sus Basim who has Agenda OR, as Sigurd being unreasonable and Basim appeasing him to avoid confrontation) Anyway. I’m hoping there will be some shifts further on because this has been frustrating me something awful Moreso than Dag being forced as a critic on Eivor while I’m busy running Eivor around and securing us alliances, and making exactly zero claims at being a Jarl (And I did get a bit spoiled beforehand, so with how the entire Dag situation is supposed to play out? I feel like I’ll be feeling all “sod it, I quit, peace out” by the end but without actual ability to do it. Would have been lovely if there was an option to at least have a talk where you seriously consider joining Hidden Ones but alas) ...This is going to get frustrating won’t it. RPG but not quite. I’d say they should have kept RPG elements at Origins level - at least when it comes to dialogue / personality. Call me spoiled but my basis for good RPG dialogue-pick comes from Bioware’s Star Wars games / Dragon Age series. And those won’t fit into Assassin’s Creed, unless we are talking Alternate Universe / Modern Time line game

Finished Mandalorian season 3 and I really didn’t like it. The reason I liked this show, the reason it saved my love for Star Wars from the disaster that was episode IX, was that it used to be about its characters and their relationship. The story was small and simple, which was refreshing, and the core of it was the developing relationship between Din Djarin and Grogu. Their motivations were clear and I cared about them.

This season expanded the scope exponentially but it completely forgot or refused to establish any compelling motivations, I have zero investment in their quest. It was abundantly obvious what they wanted to do with the season from its start, and the journey there lacked any emotional connection. The whole thing was held together by cool references and fun pew pew pew scenes.

Grogu felt more like a puppet that was there to be cute when the story needed, than an actual character. In part because the father son relationship was left to the side but mainly because the plot needed him to be older, but the toy selling business needed him to remain a cute baby.

Overall I think my biggest issue is that it didn’t feel like its own story anymore, it felt like fragments of many others and that’s a problem. I’m all for transmedia storytelling, wrote papers on it on college and all, but each story needs to feel complete or it becomes impractical. There are just to many things to watch, listen, read and play, if people need to consume everything to enjoy your story, you will end up in big trouble (even if you are star wars, I think).

And that does not mean that you cannot reference other media, or that you need to retell everything all the time. It just means that you need to tell whats relevant to the basic understanding of the story you are telling, and there are ways to do that while still respecting the people who consume everything. The story can have layers.

Also I’m sick of the let’s make more Star Wars to fix previous Star Wars thing. How about we just make good Star Wars?

Anyway, it felt rushed and it felt like it was missing its heart and I’m sad for it because it because it had potential.

Maybe the reason you hate TW so much is because it's about Jenneel and it shows.

It represents the love they feel for each other and for themselves!

It's like, when you buy something you really wanted, and then give it to yourself on christmas.

Is just a harmless gift, it doesn't really matter if it doesn't became the greatest hit on the cw.

The fact that they got to make TW is already a win for Jenneel!

We are the ones who are going to be the losers, because if it doesn't get enough attention, then we are not getting anymore spn content, ever.

Is not about you, is about them, is their creation and if you don't like it, you can walk away any time. Door is open.

That's exactly the kind of low grade, badly thought crap someone like Danneel would spew because her relationship has always had zero credibility in the eyes of the GA and the only way of getting some attention was carefully choosing a prequel that focused on a couple so she could self insert. Looks like gullible people like you fell for that. 🤣

You must truly know nothing about storytelling or tv shows becausecurently TW isn't about anything, it is so badly written it's all over the place and while it's catchphrase is "an epic lovestory" or something similar, it fails to deliver on all levels. The Actors have no chemistry, the writing is weak and the only reason people are even remotely invested in the show is because they want Dean back on their screens and some want Cas/Dean and even go to crazy lengths to parallel the show with their scenes. Kinda like you are trying to parallel Jensen's lackluster, business arrangement of a marriage with the crappy plot within TW. 🤣

Your level of investment in the Ackles is so creepy I truly wonder if maybe you are either part of their staff or possibly a stalker or even possibly Danneel as she clearly reads the blogs.

As for TW, do you really think any investor is going to invest in Supernatural after seeing it? Then you are truly out of touch. You all can pretend it's good all you want and be as delusional as you want, at the end of the day, the professionals within the industry will evaluate it based on factors far different from yours and it will not live up to their standards on any level. If Jensen wanted a Sam and Dean remake he should have focused on that instead of diluting the SPN brand with this trashy prequel. The sooner it ends the sooner people can forget about it and that's when Jared and Jensen can then start discussions about a potential SPN revival.

Also, it's truly delusional to make everything about the Ackles when in reality any series gets created to make money. Show business is, in fact, a business. TW is a money grab, the difference between it and other series is that other people invested quality in their product and then sold it, they served their public whereas Jenneel were only looking to rip off the SPN fans and this shows in every aspect of their "show".

Also, it is not their creation, they have vanity titles, the others involved in the show created everything about it. You do know what a vanity title is, don't you? If not go listen to jensen's interrogation, he explains it fully in his own words there.

You really need to stop creepily assuming things about people just because you are overobsessed with Jensen and Danneel. I would suggest you grab a piece of paper and for every quality you perceive in them ask yourself what the downside of it is and also where in your life have you yourself displayed those qualities. That will rebalance your perceptions because currently you are stuck on manic perceptions about them.

Instead of writing anon messages to a person who does not fit your target audience as I am not a Jenneel fan and never will be, please go back to your brainwashed cult and let the adults discuss in peace.
