FOTV'S PLOT MAKES NO SENSE
So since this is going to have MASSIVE spoilers for the new show, I'll put most of it behind a readmore. But, TL/DR: Destroying Shady Sands would not bring down the NCR, because they have at least seven other major cities that could and would take over!
So, lets start with a map:
Tumblr media
This is map (made by me) very roughly represents the NCR as it exist circa 2277. All major settlements are labelled, but do note that there are dozens of minor settlements scattered around the whole of California, and into Oregon, Nevada, and Mexico.
Nuking Shady Sands, even if you used the largest nuclear bomb ever made, (The Tsar bomb: coming in at 100 megatons, it is the upper limit of practicality for a bomb, because any larger and the explosion would've vented into the upper atmosphere and reduced the bomb's effect), it would still only destroy Shady Sands. Maybe vaults 13 and 15, the closest settlements to it (given their nature as vaults, however, I think they'd survive).
Notice all the other settlements? WHERE DID THEY GO, TODD?
Now, exploding Shady Sands would still be really fucking bad for the republic, but I think it would be fully survivable. We don't have hard numbers for the population of the NCR, but in New Vegas it is explicitly in the hundreds of thousands, (and rising). So we can substitute the demographics of, say, Alaska (710,000 people). The largest city in Alaska, Anchorage, has ~290,000 people living in it, as of the 2020 census. That's a large chunk of the state's population, but its not even half.
I think Shady Sands would probably be a lot smaller than the Hub or Boneyard (not to mention San Francisco, Vault City, or New Reno) because it started out as a small farming village when the others were already major settlements. So, at most, nuking Shady Sands would only disrupt the NCR, not kill it. Even if the NCR broke up in the aftermath, Lucy's vault should still be smack in the middle of the Boneyard, probably one of California's largest settlements.
But! That's not all! Not only does this show contradict established canon at every turn, it doesn't even do it well, because there is an argument to be made that a few well placed nukes could bring down the NCR!
And its already part of the damn game:
Tumblr media
This handsome, gravelly-voiced genius already mathed out how to, as he calls it, "cut the bear's throat": bomb the NCR's trade routes to the outside world, and watch them wither away on their own. His plan is a thousand times more interesting, and more feasible, than how the show brought down the NCR (blowing up one (1) city and acting like that would destroy an entire nation).
In fact, if they really wanted to get rid of the NCR, they could've easily just made that ending to Lonesome Road canon. But, lets face it, this show cannot be bothered to even look at the games for inspiration.
I like almost nothing I see coming out of the show. Its a thin veneer of fallout painted onto a story that bulldozes the very series it claims to be part of. The zombification of ghouls, the centering of the Brotherhood, the badly written raiders playground of a wasteland: its all of Bethesda's worst writing choices, just transmitted to a new medium.
I hate it here.

the thing i love about bill cipher is that even after i've learned all of this stuff about him, seen him at the most vulnerable he'll ever get, seen him at his most innocent, i still can't give a flying fuck about trying to justify his actions. yes he's traumatized, yes he was twisted into what we know today, and while it gives a semblance of context to why he did what he did, it doesn't matter. he still ruined ford's life. he still drove and baited multiple humans to suicide. he still tormented every human he saw as his ticket out of the consequences of his own actions. he still took delight in his actions. he was willing to commit genocide for fuck's sake!!! (freezing all of the humans into statues). trying to explain away what he did does not get rid of what he did, but it certainly puts it in perspective. you won't be catching me being a bill apologist any time soon <3
#gravity falls#bill cipher#the book of bill#pleaseeee dont kill me guys#also if anyone tries to twist this and apply it to ford i WILL be setting myself on fire#because like. i've seen many people hate on him because of what he did objectively#but the difference between ford and bill is that ford did not LIKE it. let me break down things ford has done @ stan that ppl dont like:#1: he was the favorite child hands down (not ford's fault. he was a kid. he was shoved into the role by his father)#2: considering leaving stan behind for west coast tec (which we dont even know was his intention. what if he wanted to bring stan with him?#what if he was going to ultimately turn the offer down? what if he went and still kept touch anyway? speaking as a guy who grew up#gifted in a poor neighborhood; college is your TICKET outta there. you'd do anything to do so--BACK ON TRACK)#3: didnt defend stan when he was being kicked out (he thought stan sabotaged his and his fams ticket out of poverty. of COURSE he's pissed!#also he was 17. of COURSE in the moment he wasnt going to take his scrawy ass and stand up to his 6'6 abusive ass of a father. would YOU?#4: told stan to take the journal (ford was on the brink of death and insanity. all he had left was STAN to trust. it also wasnt him saying#to have stan stay away from him forever--it was just to take the JOURNAL somewhere. he NEVER said he COULDNT come back!#do you REALLy think that FORD could have explained all that properly when he has beeen TORTURED FOR WEEKS ON END? I DIDNT THINK SO!#anyways. the point is that everything the fandom uses to villanize ford is in fact a result of circumstances outside of his control#and while you can argue that bill is the same; compare the damage they have done. consider how their trauma impacted them as people.#think about how bill took his trauma out on everyone around him. about how even now he still feels no remorse in that prison.#think about how ford tried to FIX his mistakes. think about how he is human; how he acted in spite of his misery#think about what that fucking triangle did to that six-fingered old man.#....okay! that was a lot. lets hope no one sees this!!

Toby and Josh have once again made me INCREDIBLY emotional, so remember when Josh is shot and Toby is the one to find him? I don’t think there is enough emphasis on the fact that Toby gets the news that his brother is safely landed from the Columbia space shuttle mere MINUTES before Josh is shot. Toby has a few minutes to feel complete and utter relief that he didn’t lose his brother and joke with the President about it before he’s hit with the terror that is finding his other brother, not blood, but no less his family, bleeding on the ground, dying. Toby gets one brother back, and it’s framed as being at the expense of his other brother.
#yes yes i know#Sam is Toby’s found family brother it’s in the text and all that#but hear me out#josh and Toby go through HELL together#they work together through so many crises and traumas but in the end they are still brothers#for god’s sake#they have a FIST FIGHT in Toby’s office and don’t speak to each other for so long afterward#up until Toby is indicted for the shuttle leak he and Josh don’t interact once#then we see Josh in the final legs of the santos campaign visiting his surrogate brother’s place and first fighting#but then admitting that josh himself messed up too#and then the next time we hear from the pair of them Toby is being called Bob and Josh is relying on him to help him win the campaign#they fought it out like real siblings do and then they drank together and came out the other end brothers once more#absolutely wild to me#josh and Toby’s brotherly relationship is not something that I ever expected to make me this emotional but it’s so SPECIAL#all of the senior staff + Charlie and Donna have the sweetest relationships and are often sibling-like#but Josh and Toby’s fistfight and Josh being shot after Toby JUST got his brother back just emphasizing how much they truly are brothers#also bartlet telling toby to go visit his brother at Edwards before the town hall meeting😭and then Josh is SHOR#*SHOT#you just know Toby never left DC let alone the east coast before he KNEW that Josh was gonna be fine#Toby telling Bartlet that he needs a break when he’s calling for the FBI to investigate West Virginia white pride#that man NEVER took a break once after Josh was shot :((#toby ziegler#josh lyman#jed bartlet#west wing#the west wing#in the shadow of two gunmen#what kind of day has it been#tww#ww

Unleashing the Beat: Exploring the Essence of Hip-Hop Dance Style
Tumblr media
Introduction:
Welcome to our blog, where we delve into the dynamic world of dance and its various genres. In this post, we embark on an exhilarating journey to explore the essence of hip-hop dance style. From its humble origins in the streets to its widespread global influence, we unravel the vibrant energy, creativity, and cultural significance that define hip-hop dance. Get ready to groove, pop, and lock as we break down the fundamentals and celebrate the spirit of this captivating dance form.
1. Roots and Evolution:
Hip-hop dance style emerged during the 1970s in the South Bronx, New York City, as a dynamic expression of the African American and Latino communities. It grew alongside the genre of hip-hop music, and both mutually influenced each other's development. From its roots in street battles and block parties, hip-hop dance has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon, encompassing a wide range of styles and influences.
2. Elements and Techniques:
Hip-hop dance encompasses a diverse set of styles and techniques, each with its own unique flavor. Some of the core elements include:
a. Breaking/B-boying:
Characterized by acrobatic moves, intricate footwork, and floor-based routines, breaking showcases athleticism, creativity, and physical prowess.
b. Popping:
Known for its isolations, quick contractions, and robotic movements, popping focuses on creating sharp, precise hits and pops in sync with the music.
c. Locking:
A high-energy style featuring exaggerated movements, distinct poses, and playful interactions with the audience, locking emphasizes funkiness and infectious groove.
d. Krumping:
Originating from Los Angeles, krumping is an intense and expressive style characterized by fast, aggressive movements, powerful stomps, and freestyle battles.
e. Freestyle and Improvisation:
A fundamental aspect of hip-hop dance is the freedom to improvise and create one's own movements, allowing individual expression and storytelling through dance.
3. Musicality and Interpretation:
One of the defining features of hip-hop dance is its deep connection to music. Hip-hop dancers embrace the rhythmic beats, syncopations, and lyrics, using them as a foundation to interpret the music through their movements. Musicality plays a crucial role in expressing the nuances of the music, creating an immersive and engaging performance.
4. Cultural Significance:
Hip-hop dance style extends beyond the dance floor and serves as a powerful form of cultural expression. It reflects the experiences, struggles, and triumphs of marginalized communities, providing a platform for self-expression, storytelling, and social commentary. Hip-hop dance has fostered a sense of community, empowerment, and unity among its practitioners, transcending barriers and inspiring generations.
5. Influence and Global Reach:
Hip-hop dance style has transcended borders and cultures, spreading its influence across the globe. Its energetic and dynamic nature has captured the attention of dancers and enthusiasts worldwide, leading to the emergence of local interpretations and fusions with other dance forms. Hip-hop dance competitions, workshops, and performances have become integral components of the global dance scene, fostering creativity and cross-cultural exchange.
Conclusion:
Hip-hop dance style is a testament to the power of movement, rhythm, and self-expression. From its humble beginnings in the streets of the Bronx, it has evolved into a global phenomenon, captivating audiences and inspiring dancers of all backgrounds. With its diverse styles, creative interpretations, and cultural significance, hip-hop dance continues to push boundaries and redefine the art of dance. So, put on your dancing shoes, embrace the beat, and join the vibrant world of hip-hop dance—a celebration of rhythm, passion, and unbridled expression.
