Artist Interviews from New York Comic Con 2023 @ Javits Center - Part Seven
Artist Interviews from New York Comic Con 2023 @ Javits Center - Part Seven
Back in October, PiercingMetal was in attendance at the 2023 edition of the famed New York Comic Con which took over the Javits Center for four days. During the course of our media coverage of the event, a series of artist interviews were done by site founder Ken Pierce. While all of these videos are resident on the Official PiercingMetal YouTube Channel, several have been collected into thisâŚ

sup yall we're vibing here
anyway. hey, my name's freddie, and i'm finally trying to write an actual intro/master post which... we'll see how this goes.
important stuff is highlighted in orange.
so, basic stuff:
as I said, my name's freddie. he/him pronouns. i'm a college student (majoring in accounting, might add a psych minor). not gonna say which college but i'm currently in california.
i've been on tumblr since 2019 i think? not under this account, this started as a fandom account and then spiralled out of control... really fast. um, my regular tumblr which i've not actually opened in ages is @chronicchthonic14 so. yeah.
not particularly relevant to this blog, but i might mention it at some point so, i have autism and adhd. and some other things but. like. that list is very long and those are the two most relevant because i promise if i come off wrong/mean, i didn't mean to, i just forget to make my words normal. but. those are the two most referenced. if for whatever reason someone wants to know more or has questions you can send an ask ig?
i'm scottish, born there. moved to US when I was four. finishing uni and moving back.
some quick warnings
this blog definitely contains cursing/vulgar language, whatever you want to call it, so if you're not comfortable with that, probably not the blog for you, as i don't tag cursing or anything for you to filter out.
if, for whatever reason, if i ever reblog something that contains a slur (against racial minorities, queer people, anything) i will ABSOLUTELY tag that though.
also if anyone has any trigger warnings they think any content needs, please let me know-- asks, dms, comments, reblogs
the cursing thing also applies for sort of dirty jokes? think that only applies to like. two posts and very not explicit. those aren't currently tagged but if they get any more explicit they certainly will be.
queer identity because the explicit reminded me, i'm asexual, and probably straight. maybe bi? dunno, don't particularly care. and i'm trans. ftm. this isn't the blog i talk about that on usually though, unless it relates to a specific ask or a fandom thing.
which, getting into what this blog is for because i can't think of anything else i need to add here (guys let me know if i forgot important stuff, please, i'm an idiot!!! i will forget the important stuff and write random shit instead!! i've already deleted three tangents from this!!)
sooooo
fandoms!! ones i write and/or post about or will potentially post about
percy jackson extending to hoo, toa, tkc (definitely post way less about this), mcga (again, way less). haven't read TSATS or COTG yet, but spoilers are fine. i post way more about minor characters. write fanfiction for and have some posted (both on here and ao3) and a bunch of snippets.
dcu-- films, comics, animated shows, all of it. personally, my favorites are young justice (the comics, not show version), new teen titans, and batman inc (batgirls, nightwing, and red robin esp). late 90s yj run is my favorite, and i loved the DCeased event. favorite batman comic is definitely court of owls run. no fanfics posted, but some on docs.
mcu-- way less so, but have a stucky oneshot. slowly making my way through in timeline order.
throne of glass. i'm an aedion and chaol apologizer because they do a bunch of dumb shit but then WHO DOESN'T in this series. fanfics in doc, not posted.
this would go on for ages if i listed everything so instead, here's an ask i answered on my fandoms/genres and everything. feel free to send me asks about anyone. if you send me something about radium girls i may cry though (tears of joy) so there's your advanced warning.
main things you'll see on my blog are incorrect quotes, snippets, and the occasional fic
this^^
my... idk, contact policy? seriously what do i word this
asks are always open, anon is on.
if you send hate... whatever. i'll probably delete it.
unless i find it funny. then I'll post it. there's really little you could say to me that would hurt.
when i say asks are always open, you can drop anything you want.
literally anything
you need to vent? want advice? want to request headcanons? request a fic? give me a prompt? ask random things about me? something else I've forgotten? go right ahead
if you want to ask me to update my fics? go right ahead. sometimes i forget i didn't post something.
send as many asks as you want, i don't care if it might be spam
i can't promise i'll respond to asks in a timely manner, sometimes i open my inbox and forget they exist for months, i'm sorry. if it's something you really want answered you can send another one
dm's are alright? if you want to be friends or something, go right ahead.
anyone can reblog any of my posts/comment/heart, i don't care. you want to heart 50 things in a row? i adore you. if i had kids, you would get my firstborn
if we're mutuals you can ask for my insta/give me yours.
now, other accounts:
anyway, i think that's it?

hi would you mind tellin me what ed ward was like? i might have to go there at some point and im scared also sorry if im phrasing it wrong and also also if you're more comfy dming or not answering at all thats fine
Hi yes I can!! And you can dm me if you want or send another ask if you have more questions :)
So thereâs two kinds of 24-hour ED care, inpatient and residential. Inpatient is usually inside of a hospital, sometimes integrated with the psych ward (hence âed wardâ). This is where people that arenât medically stable go (think serious heart conditions, people who flat-out refuse to eat, people who need to be in a locked ward to be safe). I havenât been to inpatient ed, so I canât say much on that subject. I do know that you typically stay in inpatient much shorter than residential.
I was in residential for four months. Usually ED treatment takes longer than treatment for depression and such and itâs not uncommon for people to go into residential more than once, but itâs pretty rare for residential to last more than six months. Itâs expected that youâll do a step-down plan which means after you leave res youâll do a PHP and an IOP (PHP is when you live at home but go to programming during the day, usually 40-60hrs a week with all meals there, and IOP is usually half a day 2-3 times a week).
My res was three houses in a neighborhood (not in a row) and we would all go to the biggest house during the day. There was usually 2-3 group therapy sessions and 2-3 classes (DBT skills, nutrition, etc) per day, every day (inc weekends). We spent the rest of our time doing leisure stuff and eating.
Meals took up a HUGE portion of the day because we got half an hour for each meal, and then there was another half hour for supplements, plus 15 minutes for snacks and 15 minutes for snack supplements, so that amounts to⌠4.5 hours every day. The way meals worked was each person got their own plate, to their own needs (some people got tiny amounts bc refeeding, some people got huge amounts bc restoration, etc). You got to choose 3 blacklisted foods that they would never give you, other than that if you didnât like the food you had to suck it up. I chose spicy food, eggplant, and I think peanut butter? Because being vegetarian didnât count (though I told them I was vegan instead because I was scared of milkđ). If you didnât finish your food you got supplemented - 1/2 a sup for eating 3/4 but not finishing, one sup for 1/2-3/4, and two supps for eating less than half. Our supps were Kate Farms unless you had other dietary restrictions; I got switched to ensure clear halfway through because I went on a Kate Farms boycott to get it haha, WORTH IT ensure clear I love you. You had to sit at supps table for the whole half hour or until you finished it (it was a socially-acceptable choice to just sit there for half an hour). If you didnât drink your sup you lost privileges for the next day, but unless youâd been there for a few months you didnât actually *have* any, so⌠privileges were going on our daily 10 minute walk, the weekly strip mall field trip, and if you were VERY LUCKY going to the bathroom with the door closed. During meals there were a lot of blacklisted topics because yknow. Bad Time Letâs Be Nice. If you werenât eating staff would gently encourage you but wouldnât be mean about it, and the other patients would too. Itâs pretty hard to fake eating there, but not impossible, and definitely impossible to do it without other patients seeing (because we all watched each other eat So Closely and we know all our tricks��) and other patients ratting you out is a definite possibility. You werenât allowed to leave the table during meals but sometimes it happens. If you didnât eat for two days they sent you to inpatient (they couldnât actually force you to eat in res, but in IP they can tube you).
In our free time we all got really close. Everybody had a roommate and we slept in real bedrooms with our own bathrooms (which we could only use at night, they were locked during the day). A lot of us crocheted, there was lots of reading and coloring. We were allowed an hour of screen time, including TV, a day but that was taken away if you were Really Bad (think screaming fit not like âdidnât eat fear foodâ). If you were still in high school you were expected to do that (online) during free time (which was also a ticket to unlimited computer time during free time lolol, same with AA). The people you go to res to become like a weird version of your family, youâre together for months with ONLY each other doing something very emotionally taxing, so like within the first few days boom you now have 15 new best friends. Itâs also very insular in that there are trends? Within your res? I started a rock painting trend, and also pestered staff enough that they finally let us garden (this was just me gardening and everyone else reading in the yard). Everybody listened to top 50 pop even if they hated it, because at res you like it (Iâm very attached to billboard pop 2021 still), we all watched every Keanu Reeves movie because itâs funny to say that you have (none of us even liked him that much).
At res everything is funny because everythingâs so bad? Itâs this sort of delirious sheen that takes over everything, like looking at the world through a soap bubble. That said I was also on the maximum dose of seroquil. Everyoneâs super supportive, not like the movies. If they didnât actually want to recover they didnât say anything about it.
Staff there consisted of three types: the babysitters (I donât know their real titles), mostly college girls who babysat us and ran the houses, the therapists/psychiatrists who ran groups and did individual therapy, and the nurses. There was a nurse on staff until 11 every night, because we all had hot girl stomach issues and sometimes hot girl heart problems. They took blood once a week and there was a doctor that saw you once a month or if you complained about something long enough. The babysitters were all really nice though some were less pushover-y than others (let you stay on computer longer etc). They said they did room sweeps once a week but I had contraband they never found. They also said we werenât allowed to touch each other for more than five seconds at a time (I am the reason that rule exists haha) but like⌠you have a roommate for a reason!! (Iâm not even talking about sex I just mean snuggling ;-;)
In terms of visitors you mostly only got your parents or if you were married your spouse, maaaybe somebodyâs friends came once? But not common. Youâre not allowed alone time with your visitors (like prison!) and anything they give you has to be searched by staff (same as stuff you order online or buy on the strip mall field trips). A lot of rules are very very strict because people with eating disorders are masters at worming their way out of things which sucks but makes sense.
There were some unsavory things that happened to me there that Iâd like not to talk about here, just know that when you go, itâs very possible for staff to lie to your parents/caretakers to the point that they donât believe you. It is very hard to leave once you check yourself in, and if you do leave before they let you, thatâs called AMA and your insurance wonât pay for the part of your stay you did already (which for me was $2k a day. For four months). Once you go there youâve basically handed over your rights indefinitely to the program in exchange for learning how to eat good and not die. Which is better than dying but not amazing either, but thatâs the way it is.
Some other unintended side effects:
1. If you were scared of blood draws before you went in you wonât be when you come out.
2. Youâll be able to pee anywhere no more pee shyness. Along those lines we had to describe our shit every morning to the nurse in earshot of everybody? So you wonât be embarrassed about that any more.
3. You might forget to close the bathroom door the first few months youâre home.
4. Youâll become very attached to some foods in res and then when you get out can never eat those foods again. For me thatâs biscoff cookie butter.
5. Youâll be WAY less on your phone. Youâll know how to sit and wait instead of going on your phone immediately for entertainment.
All in all Iâd say you get more freedom than the locked ward and less freedom than rehab, but stay longer than both of them combined. Fellow patients are awesome, staff is a mostly positive mixed bag, and activities are dismal (eating).
I wish you so much luck in recovery. You can do this! Every meal is a new beginning. I believe in you!
A funny for you for making it this far:

#ALSO I didnât want to put this in the main body bc itâs a lil dreary but if you relapse that is SO OKAY that doesnât mean you should lose y#your support network or are a bad person or not trying hard enough. everyone relapses. thatâs okay. the important part is that you keep goi#going and donât give up!#BEST OF LUCK!!! youâll be in my prayers!!!#Ed tw#psych ward tw

Sup bitches
I just got the news that Disney is closing MUPPET VISION 3D!!!
These BASTARDS!
Ok, so, if you don't know this legend of a ride, let me break it down. Muppet vision 3D is a ride at Disney world that has been open since the 90s. It's also the last thing that our Lord and savior Jim Henson ever fucking worked on before he died. Disney world is closing this amazing relic to replace it with a fucking Monsters Inc ride. What the hell. Please disney, you have so much goddamn land on your gloved mouse hands, make it somewhere else! I love the idea of a Monsters Inc roller coaster, but don't tear down Muppet vision. Yes, I know they're rebranding a different classic ride to be Muppets themed, and I'm sorry for that ride's fans. But please don't tear down Muppet vision. It may be outdated, and a little cringe, but it's beautiful. But if you have to, REHOME THE GOD DAMN STATLER AND WALDORF ANIMATRONICS! AND THE PENGUIN ORCHESTRA! Don't destroy them! PUT THEM ON EBAY! I'LL BUY THEM! PLEASE!
That's all! Thanks for letting me rant! Bye pooks

RP Rules
⸝ [ about the writer . ]
Sup! You can call me Fish.
This is my account for roleplaying, specifically for the cinematic adaptation of Cressida Cowellâs book and Dean De Bloisâ animated series How To Train Your Dragon.
Iâm a roleplaying writer and small digital artist (20) originally from platforms like Twitter, Amino and Instagram- but finding roleplayers there has either been too toxic or too bland of an experience, so now Iâve decided to see how Tumblr works. (If you have seen this RP rules wiki elsewhere, itâs cause I have a separate blog for the ACOTAR series called surielgossips :) )
Iâm new to this app, so please be patient as I gain my bearings and try to figure out how this platform works.
⸝ [ rules / info . ]
Iâll try to make this as concise as possible so Iâll put it into dot points:
Themes || Adventure | Quest / Prophecy | Horror / Gore | Survival | Fluff | Mystery / Investigation | Angst | Comedy | Spice | Multi-Perspective | Trauma / Healing
Literacy || Semi-Literate | Literate | Adv. Literate | Novella
Dynamics || Romantic | Platonic | Monogamous | Friend Group | Mentor/Student | Found Family
Style || Third-Person Omniscient/Limited
Disclaimer || I havenât read Cowellâs books.
Do || Discuss the plot with me | Introduce any ideas you have while weâre RPing | Tell me about your OCs in more detail | Read all the rules and say the password before DMing me | Be 18+
Donât || Force AUs or characters from another fandom | Mary Sue / Gary Stu | Describe excessive gore | Make unexpected turns in the plot that have not been discussed
Triggers || Inc*st | P*dophilia | R*pe | Ask if you think you have a triggering theme or these might be part of background trauma of your OC.
Muses || Hiccup | Astrid | Fishlegs | Tuffnut | Snotlout | Hertha (OC) | Xarius (OC) | Alvis (OC) | Meria (OC)
Pairings || Hiccstrid | Hiccup x Fem!OC | Hertha x Fem!OC | Xarius x OC | Alvis x OC | Meria x Male!OC
AUs || Motorcycles | Hunger Games | Modern | Aquarium / Mermaids | Mute | Blind | Genderbend | Ask if you have something in mind.
⸝ [ outro . ]
Thanks for reading this post! Password is pegleg. Be sure to message me or comment if you are interested in RPing with me and building a plot together!

Continued
A deep laughter echoes hers." Y'know my old man was a cop turned preacher â and I was raised Baptist so I ain't got too much experience with nuns so imma have to take your word for everything." He grinned.
The smiling and chuckles ceased when he caught Patrick on the corner of his eye throwing up a hand signal to indicate showtime was on the horizon. Luke wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this interview, he had listened to Karen during quite a few of his stakeouts and he owed her from snapping from sheer boredom. She also had a pretty sexy voice pleasant to the ears, and her wit and charm made him a fan. As of late he even preferred listening to her over Howard Stern.
A smile curls on the corner of his mouth as he feels the excitement radiating from her." Oh â nah it's cool. A little darkness is cool with me," he assured." Though I gotta say you ain't got no radio face, imma say that on the air," he teased." Your face belongs on television, lil mama. J. Jonah Jameson â now that's a radio if I've ever seen one."
Cage smiles at the introduction as he sits calmly.
"Sup y'all. Yo, you put me on the spot in that introduction already girl â real talk." He laughed out." Yo, on the real, man it's an honor to be on yo' show. Paige Angel, you know how we do â I'm the realest and the illest so rock my world." He clears his throat.
"For all y'all that know, I'm Luke Cage, Power Man. Founder and CEO of Hero-for-Hire Inc. Baddest cat on the block." He smirks." How'd I do?" Teasing her, he asked.

Why are rain frogs so round? What's /inside/ of them around such an itty bitty skeleton?
So it turns out this is a really interesting question.
The first thing we must be aware of is that rainfrogs as we see them in videos of them squeaking are not quite the same shape as they are when at rest:
[x]
But you are quite right, they are very round. This is exemplified by the skeletal photo you refer to:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8af077d1f71c96b21e8882b904afdc0a/e9365f7ae870f6f4-2f/s540x810/76540ca7d2b134c33c4ab1ffbd800beca59c623f.jpg)
[X]
So what are we seeing?
Well, firstly, note that the body cavity in these frogs actually envelops the femurs, such that only the tibiofibula (fused in frogs) and the tarsals and metatarsals are outside the body. The arms are quite similarly enveloped, but a bit of the humerus does extend outside the body cavity too. This predisposes them to a rounder body shape.
Next, note the ilia - the U-shaped bone in the pelvic region. These in some breviceptid frogs are synostotically fused with the sacrum - that is to say, they are bound by bone-based connections to the bow-shaped vertebra at their tips. This whole joint seems to be quite smooth, and as a consequence, the back of the frog is quite smooth. The other thing we can see here is that the urostyle (i.e. the frog version of a coccyx) juts quite far beyond the ischium and pubis. This extends the body cavity beyond the hips. Note also that the pelvic girdle seems to be largely below the spine, rather than the typical position for frogs behind it and continuous with it. This makes the legs sit below the spine, rather than at its end, enhnacing the vertical roundness of the animal.
Next, letâs talk some soft tissue. Now, Iâm not as familiar with soft-tissue in frogs as I am their skeletons, so youâll have to bear with me a bit (rawr). Beddard (1908!!) studied the soft tissue of Breviceps verrucosus Rapp 1842. It seems that the majority of the body of these frogs is actually muscle. Beddard noted that muscles join the leg at the knee that extend into the body cavity, such that the inclusion of the thigh in the body cavity is further accentuated by musculature. The rectus abdominalis muscle is unusually large, extending from the lower abdomen up and around the sides of the body. Indeed, this large size appears to be the pattern with all of the major muscles, though in the throat the typical arrangement of large and small muscles is somewhat reversed. On the lateral side of the head, there is a substance that is not muscle, but appears to be loose tissue in which sits what is apparently the thymus gland.
There is a very large gap between the end of the urostyle and the anus (one fifth of the total length of the frog), in which there are almost no muscles, save for the one surrounding the lower cloaca. On either side of this area, between the posterior-most muscles of the thigh, lie two large âlymph-heartsâ, as described by Beddard. These are between one quarter and one third of the total length of the frog. A further lypmh-sac sits between these lymph-hearts and the skin of the femoral region, and they are thus probably analogous to the femoral lymph-sacs of other frogs.
I find it interesting that Beddard (1908) did not mention any glandular formations in the dorsal region. As is evidence from many images (see below), these frogs are able to secrete a white, sticky, noxious substance from their skin (which they actually have to use during amplexus, as the male is too small relative to the female to mount her properly, and so he sticks himself to her with his glandular glue⌠kinky).

These glands do not apparently take up a great deal of the cutaneous tissue, and so I suppose are of no consequence to the size of the frog, especially relative to its enormous muscles.
The diet of these frogs consists almost exclusively of hymenopterans and isopterans (ants and termites). Neither of these insect groups are particularly fatty, so it is little surprise that their bodies appear to contain no large fat deposits - fatty bodies extend from the gonads up to the lungs and heart, but these comprise only a tiny fraction of the frogâs mass, and donât contribute to the round shape. Instead, their bodies are extremely muscular, allowing them to be adept burrowers, ideal for their fossorial lifestyle.
So TL;DR: rain frogs are little balls of muscle (maybe the largest muscle mass relative to body mass of any vertebrate? science just doesnât know).

What does it take to make it less popular
It sounds kind of anti-Disney of me to say this, but I suspect that it's going to take a number of factors or more to make Disney and the like less popular in the Philippines. One early factor would be when America itself declines in power and popularity, that American brands become less popular overseas over time. Maybe not immediately but more in the sense of how it's not fashionable to like anything American.
If America does decline significantly as a superpower, expect both its hard and soft power to decline in popularity overseas as well. American products could become less popular among people, Disney included, getting replaced or overshadowed by their Chinese and Russian counterparts. Some will even get bought by their Chinese and Russian counterparts in some way, it already has happened before with Russia's Sup Media buying Livejournal.
Or China's Tencent buying stake in Riot Games, there's more yet to come and it will get more commonplace in the future. Supposing if some Chinese company were to buy stake in America's Alphabet INC, then it's going to happen anytime soon in the future because of how powerful China's gotten. Likewise, a Russian company could buy something like all of Automattic, it would be no different as we've seen this with Livejournal before. This may not be the end of it yet.
What if a Chinese company buys all of Twitter that it becomes a Chinese brand one day, be subjected under Chinese law and jurisdiction and under Chinese management that it would be just as controversial as Elon Musk buying the platform. A Chinese run Twitter would emerge as a proper rival to Weibo, which has been Chinese run much longer. It will anger Americans because of their disdain for China, but when America loses so much power that it's better to concede brands like Twitter to China instead.
Let's not forget that Shein, a Chinese company, bought the American brand Forever 21 that it's inevitable there'll be more Chinese companies out to buy struggling American brands. Twitter could be one of them, if it ever gets bought by a Chinese conglomerate at all like Tencent or even something else altogether. It would be no different if it's Alphabet at the receiving end, China will be so powerful that buying American companies is doable for it.
Actually it would be no different if something like VK buys stake in Meta, which goes to show you how powerful Russia has gotten and could become moreso in the future. Even if not all American companies get bought by either Chinese or Russian companies, they could experience a tank in popularity and reputation over time. They'll do anything and everything to keep up with the times, even if they may not always get it right and as effectively as their Chinese and Russian counterparts do.
If both China and Russia are catching up fast enough to become powerful, then America has to catch up with them if they're getting better at certain things sooner. If they ever become powerful, so will their markets and this has happened before. America has been catering to China for some time, as to include Chinese actors in American productions. But supposing if Russia were to catch up soon enough there, that America will learn to cater to it too. It has happened before, though to a modest extent.
But if Russia becomes really powerful, that America will learn to kowtow to it. America will have to acquiesce to it in some way, that it can't go on doing the things itself and its allies want. They have to acquiesce to both Chinese and Russian markets if those countries ever become really powerful and popular with everybody else on the planet. This is something the Philippines needs to wake up to, because America isn't going to be powerful for long.
America won't and may never remain the Philippines's biggest benefactor for long because its economy is going to fail real badly under Trump that cannibalism and poverty will become major features of American life from then on, so will homelessness that unless if more Americans willingly let the homeless stay with them it's going to get bigger under Trump. It will become the norm to not have a stable home, despite having a stable income.
Americans will do anything and everything to find a home when possible and convenient, this has happened before in Hong Kong due to housing shortages but this will be magnified with America. Imagine if rooftop slums, subdivided flats and sleeping in restaurants were to become the norm in America, as it is in Hong Kong before, that America will have a major homeless problem of a phenomenon. America will no longer be seen as prestigious by many Filipinos, but instead as something embarrassing, pitiable and shameful.
So anything American will develop a shameful reputation among many Filipinos, that turning to China and its neighbours will become a practical and necessary reality for us instead. Imagine if many homeless people decided to turn Disney theme park hotels into their homes that people will have to accommodate them to make them feel at home there, but even then this will be particularly embarrassing and surprising for the parent company. Disney can't ignore this altogether.
No sooner or later, it will have to accommodate to these people. It's going to be controversial for them because of the reputation being affected by needier people who actually need something to live in, instead of obsessive Disney fans who make their brand loyalty their absolute lifestyle and mindset. Some Disney fans will be so disgruntled that they'll find ways of kicking the homeless out, even if the latter need homes more than they do.
Not necessarily so much that they like Disney, but that they need somewhere to sleep. A stable home to live in and be provided for, if their own incomes can't suffice for the other things they need. Though the company's reputation might tank somewhat when it comes to catering to the homeless who need a home to live in, survive a harsh life and somewhere to privately poop in if nobody wants public defecation. Disney hotels have plenty of toilets they can use.
It's a matter of willingly accommodating them to make them feel at home and not be embarrassed, though it's something a number of Disney fans need to wake up to. Because America has a growing homeless problem and ever-growing food insecurity that it's wiser for corporations like Disney to properly care for them, if these crises were to loom longer and get bigger over time. So their needs will trump Disney fan wants, because they need stable homes and food real badly.
It's not a nice thing to see, but it's necessary for them to find ways to survive a tough world. This will really shock Filipinos who expect Disney theme parks to be places where they have their holidays there, not so much places where the homeless' needs are catered to every now and then, even if it's necessary if homelessness were to grow exponentially in America. It will be controversial, despite how necessary it is for others to survive a cruel planet.
Another thing that will really tank Disney's reputation is if such a company ever succeeds at killing Christians in secret, somebody like Celestial had a prophecy of American conglomerates deploying armies to kill Christians with, though she only mentioned Amazon and Apple so far. It would be particularly horrifying if Disney, with its family-friendly image, were to do the same thing. But that's going to be what will tank Disney's popularity with people, especially if it's something the Russian government will reveal in due time.
If America ever becomes part of Russia in some way, that Russia will reveal America's dirty secrets to all and any. It sounds kind of anti-Disney, but some of it's what I've prophesised before. I even said that Disney might kill Christians one day, practically last year before and it's really going to be the case under Barack Obama. He will have a third term and he will be its final president after Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. So it's going to take a number of controversies to tank Disney's popularity.
It's not a nice thing to hear, but necessary if Disney were to confront or do these things in the future.
