I was moving my armor bag back into my car, when I passed one of my newer neighbors (a college aged kid who has been nothing but pleasant and consistently high since I've known him) on the stairs. My shield and sword are strapped to the outside of my bag, so it tends to draw attention. He asked me what it was and I told him: my sword and shield for heavy armored combat.

Without missing a beat this kid squared up and demanded to know who I was going after and what they did, because he had my back. "I ain't gonna fight FOR you, but I'll fight WITH you. Where are we going?"

I told him the parking lot to put my bag in my car. He was both disappointed and relieved as he had some chicken in the crock pot he wanted to eat.

Chivalry isn't dead, it's just high and hungry for chicken.

THE FROG 아무도 없는 숲속에서 (2024)  Episode 2 ─ Who Will Come Knocking on the Door of My Destiny?

[18 May 2022] Ren looks like a character who knows he's in the game... I must be very misunderstood. lol ...right?

Yes! He's very self aware, and even hacked the game so you wouldn't find out his real name or get his bad end ^^

20 Feb 2024 EDIT: Slight retcon; I don't think Ren would be self aware that he's in a game, per se. He's aware that he can prevent information from being revealed and change the course of the narrative — which might seem strange if he really thought about it (Like... No one else has shown signs of having this ability...) — but he doesn't know that his world is a "video game" or that the player exists. I hope this makes sense!!

The art direction in this movie is so masterful, yet you know it’s from a first time director. Rian Johnson went on to do much slicker movies with much bigger budgets but I still think this was his best work, or at least my favorite film from him. Was it perfect? No, but that’s part of what I like about it. The vision having to be executed under so many uncontrollable parameters made something fresh, a little clunky, but truly unique. It reminds me of why I still hold up films like Scorsese’s Mean Streets and Who’s That Knocking at My Door as gems. It’s that raw, I’m broke, a little cocky, a little naive, having nothing to lose, but everything to gain energy that can’t be duplicated later in an artist’s career.

I wonder why christian misrepresentation are rarely talked about if compared to other religion misrepresentation. Like, I've seen people really vocal about Greek myths misrepresentation in LO and such (and it's valid because it's a culture and religion) but I rarely saw the same thing with christian even though there are many media who use christian religion innacurately, to the point where it comes off as using it as an aesthetic and not a proper religion.

Is it because of rampant religious trauma especially in western world? No ulterior motives on this question. I'm not a christian and yet I'm curious about this. I apologize if this sounds harsh.

I obviously don't have The Answer(tm) to this but personally speaking (and I'm about to get VERY personal here so take this with MOUNTAINS OF SALT), I think it's just the obvious - Christian mythology is one of the most well-documented and strongly protected out of virtually any other religion on the planet. Especially here in the West, it's commonplace for kids to go to Sunday school, for couples to have Christian weddings even if they're not practising Christians themselves, even the American anthem references the Christian God. It's simply not as easy to 'misrepresent' it because the representation is written into our very fabric of society. Even Greece itself is primarily made up of Orthodox Christians.

So anyone that does 'misrepresent' it are either completely mislead hardcore Christians, or people who are doing it intentionally, such as with the intent to make a parody of it or to deconstruct it through a different context or whatever have you. And of course, people will still get mad at those things, if you're implying that people aren't vocal about Christian misrepresentation then frankly IDK what to tell you there LOL If you want a contextual example in the realm of webtoons, Religiously Gay was dragged to hell and back during its launch for having a very crude and insulting depiction of St. Michael, and frankly, yeah I don't disagree because what the fuck is this-

(like at best it's just terrible character design lmao that said, there's also plenty else to criticize Religiously Gay for, including its fetishy representation of gay relationships and the fact that it's still just the "naive person who looks and acts like a child hooks up with mean person in a position of power" trope, blech, but the character design is definitely the first thing you notice)

There are even plenty of hardcore Christians who will deadass claim "misrepresentation" over things that ARE factually correct but they just haven't read the actual Bible and simply cherry pick what works for their own agenda. And of course those people are routinely called out by people like myself who know for a fact that Jesus wouldn't have promoted the war crimes that many modern day Christians are committing and justifying today. So it really depends on the definition of "misrepresentation" here.

The issue specifically with LO and Rachel that I personally call her out for (and many others) is that she's called herself a "folklorist" and claimed she's so much more knowledgeable on Greek myth than anyone else, while making a complete mockery of the original mythologies while not being honest about her intent as to whether LO is actually supposed to be a legitimate retelling OR a parody (because it sure acts like the latter more than the former, but she still seems to expect us to take it seriously and consider her knowledge of Greek myth superior?) Which leads to a lot of her teenage audience claiming shit like "Persephone went down to the underworld willingly" and "Apollo did assault Persephone in the original myths actually" and the classic "why would Lore Olympus lie or make up fake myths?"

You just can't pull off this extent of erasure with Christian mythology because we have a whole ass book of it that's been preserved, sold on shelves, and systematically integrated into society for thousands of years. Of course, there are people who will still try their damned best to twist the Bible to match their own bigotry with the whole "Jesus hates gays" bullshit (he would never), but it's met with equal amounts of 'misrepresentation' that are actually fully well-read and are intentionally subverting and changing things to either critique, parody, or restore the original intent of a lot of stories in the Bible without all the manufactured right-wing crap.

Greek myth, on the other hand, has some stories that are well preserved, and others, not so much. And in the modern day outside of the poems and hymns, you'll also rarely, if ever, see anyone use stories from Greek myth to ostracize, torture, and murder other people. "Misrepresenting Christianity" is more often done by actual Christians who are using the Bible to commit hate crimes than the people who have actually read the Bible and are just taking creative liberties with it for the sake of deconstructing / parodying / analyzing / subverting it. Veggie Tales "misrepresents" Christian stories because obviously Moses wasn't a fucking cucumber lmao but it still accomplishes its goal by retelling Christian stories in a way that's fun and educational for children.

By comparison (on the whole, I'm not comparing LO to Veggie Tales LMAO) LO just isn't clear in its intentions beyond Rachel's initial statements that she was trying to "deconstruct" the myths, while labelling herself as a folklorist. Therefore, I'm going to criticize how she does it because the way she's done it up until now has been very mishandled and has resulted in a lot of misinterpretations of the myths simply for the sake of fandom. And yes, these people exist in Christian media as well - they're called TV evangelists.

And that's my (very heavy) two cents.

Caleb is so focused on his date partner fellow player that he doesn't realize he's not paying any mind to how he's treating the EVOL kitties who do not like at all being pet by his right hand. Naturally, he has to be taught a lesson.

But he's offended them so much that he doesn't deserve to join their ranks, oh no. And what could bring the kitties more joy than seeing their arch nemesis brought to his knees at their beck and call?

You belatedly notice the kitties' discontent, but fortunately doesn't see any changes when Caleb wakes up the next day (as he's crashing your place, of course, where else would he be but all up in your space?).

Everything seems fine, until you toss him an orange and he catches it.

In his mouth.

"... Caleb? Are you feeling all right?"

"Never felt better," he replies with eyes too bright, his smile beaming, too wide, as he holds the orange in his left hand.

"Ooookay then. Be a good boy and go sit down-"

Caleb's right hand lands harshly on the table, and vibrates so hard it rattles the mugs.

"... Sooo..." He's panting, his smile more a grimace, mouth parted as he sucks in air. "It would appear that the kitties... uploaded a new personality module."
