ALEX IS SOMEWHAT INNOCENT IN ALL THIS BS THANK GOD
I've kept tabs open for his Twt acc in case he released his formal reply about about the case against him and I'm so glad I did. The man is not a groomer or pedo. Person who started all this also stated that they don't believe he's either of those things, but deleted the post after going under fire. On Tumblr, no less.

Hi Hanako-san ^^
Well, I'm not here to ask you a question, but…
I've been thinking about this for a while, I was a little embarrassed to say it but I wanted to let you know. Your love for Amane makes me want to see more of what you have to say.
The way you can see him, the way you protect him, the way you still see him as a person, not a ghost, not a dangerous supernatural, just a little boy. The one who is clearly asking for help in silence… lonely.
Sometimes I think that you would be the person he would fall in love with if that were possible. Because you have to offer him everything he so desires.
I like him a lot, whether as Amane or as Hanako, and it always hurts me to see him get close to so many people who despise him, or how his own choices lead him to get close to people or loves that will hurt him. Your desire to protect him is so genuine that I can see it without much effort.
I like how you really see Amane, not Hanako, but Amane, who he really is. I like to see how he has such a strong meaning for you to the point that you are happy to notice that on his birthday it snowed where you live. I like seeing the true love you feel for him, it warms my heart.
Even though I am impartial with all the characters, and know that they all have qualities and flaws, including Hanako, I can understand that, even though he made mistakes, he still has a gentle and kind heart, and that he deserves to be happy too.
Nowadays, I meet people who like and talk a lot about Tsukasa, I also really like this little one, but I wish they gave a little more love to Amane too, so I'm happy to have found you. You give him the love he deserves.
Happy New Year, I hope this message warms your heart 💕

Hi Thelunarfairy ^^
I will answer right away that your message surprised me, made me happy and warmed my heart. Thank you with all my heart for such wonderful message!🥺✨💕 I wish you Happy New Year too💕
I'm glad you wrote this message overcoming your embarrassing. You really shouldn't be embarrassing. There's really no reason.
I'm very glad that you noticed it and that it really shows. I actually see it the way you described it. Amane, being a supernatural, is still the same poor and lost, wounded boy who calls for help in silence, but also doesn't want anyone to help him because he despises and hates himself. This boy is still there, being supernatural doesn't change anything. The fact that he has a slightly changed personality as a supernatural doesn't change anything for me. Is he dangerous. I have no idea. So far, he has shown that he is willing to do anything for the people he loves. If he is dangerous as a supernatural, then so be it. The only thing we have to support this claim are the words of Grandma Minamoto, Teru, who are not a reliable source of information for me. A fight broke out between them. I believe this because Amane said it with such experience, but I don't believe the rest until I see it. This lying and murderous family is not a reliable source for me and I know they are biased against Amane. And if he is 'dangerous' then let him show it! I want to see him in his full strength. I want him to destroy everyone there without exception. Others can, so can he, right? I know that Amane is a boy who does something for a very good reason. His actions are always well thought out, he knows what he is doing and what the consequences are,and he does it mainly for the sake of those he loves. He don't care about myself and his pain, because, as I said above, he thinks he doesn't deserve it. I want him to finally start thinking about himself and his own home, to put himself as the most important person and his own feelings. He fulfills his duties, gives himself completely for others - especially for the people he loves, but he doesn;t think about himself. It's so sad! My poor Moon. Hanako is Amane. Amane is Hanako. They are one and the same person. This boy who suffers and has great pain behind him is there and suffers even more as a supernatural. Amane needs love and protection. What I can give him, and I do. I'm really glad that it really shows the way I wanted it to. I always thought I was really bad at words and couldn't convey it. I'm very glad I was wrong.
Wow! That's nice and you know what? Thinking about it. Then I would be a better girlfriend than daikon. It's so nice of you!!! and thank you again! 💕
Do you like him a lot!!! I'm so happy to hear it!!! I know exactly what you mean. This also makes me sad and I consider it an injustice. I know this is how Amane wants to be perceived, which hurts me more and shows that he truly sees himself as a bad person who deserves nothing other than hatred from others. He thinks he deserves it. I completely disagree with him on topic! I'm really glad that my desire to protect Amane is visible. I really am so happy!
Wow! I'm super happy that you wrote this! I feel very,very,very happy that my love for Amane will warm your heart!! 🥹💕
I'm glad you're impartial to every character. What you write is absolutely true and I will tell you that whoever knows me privately knows well that I can criticize Amane or even say that I don't like his actions. I still feel that way and I know that he has qualities and flaws and what he does is sometimes wrong and I still don't like everything about what he does, but I know why he does it and I completely accept him with everything and I will continue to support him in his actions. Do I like them or not . It doesn't matter. Let him do what he wants.I will support and protect him no matter what happens in history and what he does. I love and support him with all my heart.
I know exactly what you're talking about. The same here. I meet Tsukasa stans more and talk to one of them. Earlier, I also talked to one stan Tsukasa and I realized that Tsukasa is more loved than Amane, despite the hatred Tsukasa receives. I'm glad you wrote this message. I know someone likes Amane too, not just Tsukasa. If they love Tsukasa more, it will be difficult to give love to Amane, because Tsukasa is important to them. That's how I see it. It's the same with me. I love Tsukasa, but I don't talk about him all the time and that I love him, because Amane is the one I really love and I want to talk about him and protect him. My love for Tsuaksa is much less than for Amane and I care less about him or not at all? That's I meant i'm indifferent to Tsukasa's pain and don't care about him but my will support, care for and love Amane with all my heart! Because Amane really deserves it! He's a wonderful boy. I'm glad you found me and sent me a message 💖
Thank you again for your message. You flatter me 💖

Hi, I just wanna share that I ship Ashley and Leon since the original RE, and I ship them even more now more than ever. I just wanted to say that I’m glad that I saw your blog. You defend them from hate comments. I could never do that. All I do is hide the fact that I ship them because people online (and IRL) can really be mean when I say that they have a good potential together.
I just think that their relationship can be wholesome and built on trust. It is without ill intention and born out of care & adoration. Which I think are the some of the foundations of having a healthy relationship, that’s why I love the idea of them together. I know this may be cliche to say this, but I think they can complete each other in some ways.
Is it wrong to want a potentially healthy relationship for Leon? I don’t get why people hate on the idea of it so much. I mean people can not ship it, and that’s fine. I just don’t get it when others start attacking because I mention that I ship them. It’s like I feel like I’m about to get executed whenever I say that they have a chemistry together 😆
Also, I apologize for talking so much about them. I just have no one to talk to when it comes to them. I just wanna share it to someone.
Lastly, I wanna say that you make deep analysis on not just their relationship and dynamics, but also on other lores on the RE franchise which I enjoy reading. It really gives a lot of new perspectives & insights on a lot of things that I don’t notice when I play the game. Thank you for this, really!
aw, anon
I also went through a period of very many years where I wouldn't say out loud that I shipped Leon and Ashley, because there was a stretch of a very long time in fandom where you got tarred and feathered if you dared have a Leon ship that wasn't Cleon or Aeon. Even shipping him with Chris was considered taboo back in the day (and, wouldn't you know, I do that, too).
And I was scared that people wouldn't take my (completely unrelated, mind you!!) meta seriously if they knew I shipped Leon/Ashley, so I just kept quiet about it. I even tried to pass it off, for a while, that I had no RE ships at all. It was just easier to say that than be dodgy about it.
It was actually kind of funny. For a while, a not-insignificant portion of the fandom went to me, specifically, for all of their Leon things, and I just had to kind of laugh at how ridiculous it was that these same people would've just stopped agreeing with anything I said about him -- things that they agreed with and had been relying on for their own interpretations -- if they'd known I shipped him with Ashley. It's all very, very stupid.
But now I'm in my 30s and I don't give a fucking shit anymore. I don't care about being an authority on canon anymore. I'm happy to be a reference if someone needs it, but I don't care about being the central hub of information. I don't need to try to make people feel impartially about me anymore.
But, authority or not, I'm still a story analyst at heart before anything else. I look at Leon's character first and then think about any possible ships second. And, yeah. After analyzing him for so long, I've noticed that Ashley brings out a side of him that isn't shown at any other point -- and it's in a positive way that's absent when she's gone. So, naturally and logically, in my head, it stands to reason that there's something to that.
Some people seem to be under the impression that Leon's character arc lives and dies by Ada's involvement, and boy is that just not the case. There's a lot of different moving parts when it comes to Leon's character arc, but he's primarily defined by the striking lack of agency he has, despite being one of the main characters of the series. Ada perpetuates and exacerbates that helplessness, but it would still exist without her. In Leon's own words: "nothing ever changes" and THAT is what's at the center of his character arc.
But even beyond that, Leon is a character who needs to be needed; it's something that's shown over and over and over and over again. So, as much as people like the idea of a "partners" type ship (like Chris/Jill) and so they ship him with Claire -- or as much as people like the whole cat-and-mouse will-they-won't-they thing that Leon has going on with Ada -- neither Claire nor Ada need Leon, so it would never really work in the long-term.
And as much as Leon doesn't want Ashley to need him... he still needs her to. Because he doesn't realize that Ashley can both need him emotionally because that's what romance is you fucking stupid idiot, Leon -- and also be her own independent person living her life to the fullest at the same time.
And you know what? I like queen/knight ships, and that's exactly what Leon and Ashley are. So I just embrace it.
This isn't to discount other people's tastes or ship preferences. Ship whatever the hell yall want. But Leon/Ashley has always existed, will always exist, and it's just as valid as any other ship. Thankfully, the remake seems to have made it more "acceptable" -- which really just tells me that the only reason why we Leon/Ashley folks were blacklisted for so long is because the vast majority of the fandom was just bad at RE4 and took out their impotent gamer rage on Ashley, as though it was her fault they sucked at the game. (If you got annoyed at Ashley screaming for help in OG -- or in remake, even -- it's because you let her get grabbed. It's player error.)
Just sayin.

Sometimes kids are the best
Today my husband left with the kids a few minutes before I did. As I was leaving the kids weren't far in front. Baby boy saw me and ran as fast as he could for the biggest hug. Then he had a big smile on his face while he held my hand the entire way. 3yo are a lot of work but they are also so, so great.
Brought my own computer to work. HR training over. The trainers were actually really good. The LGQBT trainer was a trans man, the disability trainer mentioned he has a disabilty. They were knowledgeable and personable. However, four days of HR type stuff is a lot.
No idea when I will receive a computer login, etc. Once that happens I can start working. I want to sit in on a few assessments but otherwise feel pretty ready. As mentioned, I went with an easier nursing job. I'm glad for it. I may get bored but for now I am glad its not stressful.
Talked to a lawyer about baby boys special ed case. It was stressful. They can't take the case because they don't have space and it would cost $10K. Another law firm also wait listed us. My friend reminded me that someone in our book club is a lawyer for the big child advocate group. She kindly gave me some of her time yesterday. She was more reassuring. She thought we could handle the impartial hearing without a lawyer. She thinks we will win because what can they argue. They are not providing providers that he is legally entitled to. Winning will mean we pay for the provider I found and then they reimburse us. She said it can take upwards of a year and there is nothing you can do to move it forward. Thank God we sold our house Upstate. That money has been an life saver in so many ways.
She also told me about a Saturday school class the DOE puts on near our house. All of the providers are in one spot. It would be a way for him to get services. No way they have space but she said they may make an exception if we ask at our hearing. Its basically like sending him to mygym with an OT following him - so I wouldn't feel bad making him go to "school" on the weekend.

Fic prompt… Taryn & Mika, angst 7 please 💔
I Know I Have A Heart Because I Can Feel It Breaking Grey's Anatomy - Taryn Helm & Mika Yasuda
A day becomes a week. A week becomes two, then three. And before Taryn knows it, she and Mika are dating for over two months.
Two months of joy and delight, of long cuddles and sweet romance, of hormones and sex, all mixed with discovering everything there is to learn about each other. The two of them grow closer every minute they spend together, and Taryn can hardly believe how easy it all comes.
Except that it doesn't.
Not in the real world, where she happens to be Mika's superior. Where Mika is her intern, who messes up every other day like interns do, whether it's by dropping stuff, mixing up patients or simply being late. But where she excels too, showing - no, proving - over and over again that she's the one to watch.
Taryn tries. She tries to stay professional, to ignore her constant desire to lure Mika into a closet or on-call room to make out with her; to just keep it safe with only some stolen kisses here and there. She tries to tell Mika to get her act together when she screws up. She tries to stay impartial when it comes to handing out tasks. She really does.
But the fact that she's reprimanded - warned even - four times already by her own superiors tells her she's failing badly. And though they haven't said so yet, she knows she is presented with a decision - one she hates to make more than anything.
"Hey," Mika cheers, drawing her from her thoughts as she swiftly makes her way towards her through the crowded bar. She greets her with a smile and a kiss. "Boy, am I glad to see you!"
"You saw me like an hour ago," Taryn chuckles, despite the huge knot in her stomach.
Mika shrugs. "You know that doesn't count." She steps closer, wraps her arms around Taryn's neck and locks their lips into a slow and promising kiss. When she breaks it to drag her mouth towards Taryn's ear, she whispers, "I have a confession to make. I think I've fallen in—"
"Don't," Taryn says before Mika can finish, abruptly pushing her away a little. "Don't say it."
Not understanding the sudden change of tone, Mika looks at her with confusion and disbelief. She opens her mouth, but no words come out. The question is written all over her face though.
What the hell is going on?
"This has to stop," Taryn goes on, forcing herself to not look away. "We have to end this."
Still perplexed, Mika stares at her. "But… why?"
This time, however, it's Taryn who stays quiet, seemingly searching for words, for some sort of explanation that actually makes sense. Mika narrows her eyes, questioning. "Is it work?"
Taryn shakes her head. "No," she answers, still quiet at first, but then more firmly, "No."
The truth is, she can't tell Mika. She can't tell her that it's going to be Mika or her promotion, because she knows Mika won't let her choose one. She won't let Taryn give up her chief's position - not after everything she's been through. But she won't let work get in their way either, not of their careers nor of them being together. She would insist on going for the third option: a transfer to another intern program, at another hospital, in another city - maybe even another state.
And with that they would be a thousand times less together than when they stop being together for real.
The idea alone is unpalatable to Taryn.
"It's me. I am… not feeling it."
Squinting her eyes even more, Mika tries to see into Taryn's. "You're lying. These past weeks, the way you've been with me… looked at me, hold me. That wasn't nothing."
"I'm not saying it was nothing," Taryn sighs, fighting the deep urge to take Mika in her arms and never let go of her. "I'm just… saying it's gone. Over."
Mika crosses her arms, her chin up stubbornly. A simple passerby might see her as unfazed. Steady. But Taryn catches her lip trembling, as well as the tears welling in her eyes.
"You're lying," she tells her again, "You're either lying, or you're heartless."
Watching this girl, her girl, in this much pain—because of her!—almost makes Taryn agree on both. She honestly wish she could. How much easier would all this have been?
But she can't.
In fact, she can't say anything at all, even though the voice in her head screams to get out.
"If only you were right," it cries, "But I'm anything but. I know I have a heart. I know, because I can feel it breaking. I can feel it shattering into a million pieces, just by looking at you. You just can't know. Not yet. It would all be for nothing…"
Mika raises her brows. "Well?"
Taryn can hear the panic in her voice. But that's not all. She can also hear their future, she can tell what will become of them if she's gonna leave her like this.
It's the one thing she hasn't thought of. Yes, they would keep seeing each other, but Taryn pays the highest price for it. Instead of moving on like before, heck, maybe even making it through the next years till they can try again, she's ruining any possible chance they've got left. Mika wouldn't go anywhere, but she would never talk to her or even smile at her again.
She would just hate her. Hate and distrust her. And Taryn couldn't blame her for any of that.
Biting her lips, she swallows, then mumbles, "I'm sorry."
"Taryn, no," Mika squeaks, shaking her head in distress, but Taryn already turns around. "I really am," she emphasizes as she starts walking away.
She doesn't look back. She doesn't have to. She already knows she's going to regret this moment for the rest of her life.

In defense of Enchanted's (2007) Robert.
So, Enchanted is probably one of my favorite Disney movies. I love how it blends classic 2D animation with live action, the great soundtrack, and memorable characters.
And about the characters, I love them. Giselle, Robert, Nancy, and Edward. I especially like Nancy and Edward, and am so glad they returned for the sequel Disenchanted (2022).
I'm glad they had each other in the end. And who would pass up the opportunity to live in a fairytale land, where your biggest problems are the occasional trolls or dragons? And you don't have to worry about student loans or nuclear warfare!
Because I want to see more of Nancy and Edward, I look for fanart and fanfiction of them. This brings me to their pairing tag on Archive of Our Own. There are some great fanfics about them, but while browsing the tag, I came across a fic that I wanted to discuss now.
By all means, there was nothing mechanically wrong with it. Spelling, grammar, etc. And there's some fascinating ideas in there, like the "return" (?) of Queen Narissa in Nancy's dreams to tempt her and persuade her to learn magic. But I take issue with the author's depiction of Robert.
In Enchanted, we never know the ages of the characters, and nothing has been confirmed by the writers/directors/etc.
The fanfic author seems to think that Robert is 40 however, and Giselle is 18. So of course the author has Nancy react with shock (which makes no sense because she has met Giselle and can judge for herself how old she is), and the author basically drags Robert's name through the mud, saying how "he didn't want a woman who could challenge him".
I could just leave this at that, since this is "fan"-fiction after all, and it's not supposed to be entirely accurate. But I was quite surprised to discover that there is a portion of Enchanted's viewers, who have similar opinions on Robert. Even going as far back as 2007-2008.
Therefore, I would like to use this post to refute a couple of the most common claims against Robert's character.
#1. The "age difference"
Like I mentioned before, there is no official confirmation from either the movies, or staff who worked on the movies, on the character's ages (other than Morgan, Robert's six year old daughter).
As such, it is not fair to assume things about the characters, reflecting their actions in respect to those "ages". It is not fair to villainize Robert for being in a relationship with a woman "younger" than him, when we don't even know their actual ages.
I assume the aforementioned fanfic writer thought that Robert was 40 because of the actor, Patrick Dempsey's age. He was 40 years old when Enchanted came out.
If you're using the actor's age to estimate the character's ages, than let's be impartial here, okay? Amy Adams was 33, Idina Menzel was 36, and James Marsden was 34, when Enchanted came out.
On the topic of age differences in relationships however, let's step back from Enchanted for a moment and discuss it.
An age difference is fine. If both parties are consenting adults, then they are allowed to be in a relationship. As an outsider observing that relationship, you may have problems with it because it is not what you personally agree with, but this is not about you. This is their relationship, and thusly, no outside party should interfere with the wishes of two capable and consenting adults.
Therefore, responsibility for the age difference in relationships should fall on the parties involved. Both parties should be prepared for the differences in maturity and life experience compared to their partner.
Back to Enchanted, I believe that the four main characters are similar in age to each other. Giselle and Edward, the reason the audience may be led to think they are younger than they actually are, is because of their animation in Andalasia, and the way they act.
The animation style/art style of the fairytale land of Andalasia is very ambiguous. It is not clear how old Giselle and Edward are from the art style alone. Even Nancy, when marrying Edward at the end of the movie, looks younger than she was when she was in live action.
If you observe Nancy and Edward in Disenchanted, which takes place ten years later, Edward has hardly changed at all in the 2D art style. Nor has Nancy, other than changing her hair with bangs.
Giselle acts immature because she was an orphan woman living by herself in a magical forest. Her only company in the forest is the animals who raised her.
Similarly, Edward only acts "immature" because of the environment he was raised in. Queen Narissa definitely did not educate Edward as a prince, since that would make him more capable of going against her. Edward's father, the King, is not there to raise him either.
Their immaturity comes mainly from their backgrounds, not really because of age differences with their partners.
Plus, as shown in Disenchanted, Giselle and Robert have a baby ten years after Enchanted. Even if Giselle was inexperienced in "sexual relationships", it took them ten years to have a baby. Robert clearly did not rush things with Giselle, on account of her immaturity. Nor did he take advantage of her immaturity.
#2. Robert's interactions with Giselle
When Robert first meets Giselle, she is someone with nowhere to go and who has no idea of the world around them. He is justifiably wary of her, and yet he stills allows her to rest in his home.
He is not heartless, and what he did was incredibly kind compared to what someone else would do in his shoes.
Nor does Robert "put Giselle down" and deliberately make her out to be someone she isn't. His attitude towards her throughout the movie does not stem from maliciousness, but practicality. After all, people in New York do not spontaneously burst into song everyday, or act the way Giselle does.
Robert is concerned for her, which is why he tells her not to sing, or to not believe "Prince Edward" is coming for her. He views her from the lens of someone from Earth, not Andalasia, which is why he didn't believe she was from a fairytale world.
In conclusion, Robert doesn't have to be your favorite character. But please don't accuse him of being a criminal, nor an evil person!

Hiii! Regarding historia abscondita, will we ever come to know the council’s decision regarding Nico? 👉🏻👈🏻
I feel like, the events after have so much potential, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Like, will Lewis’ actions ever be known? Will he pay for the crime of making the kingdom’s magic a collateral for the additional magic he got in order to beat Nico? Will Mick hide his knowledge of the whole thing or will he crack and reveal it in the face of injustice that Nico faced and is still facing? Is the relationship between Mick and Nico purely sexual? Platonic? Just a moment of curiosity and adventure? How about Nico? Just what had happened that Mick needed to carry his unconscious form all the way back? What were the repercussions of him using his magic to bring Lewis back? And for that matter, when did Nico woke up from unconsciousness? What was Lewis’ reaction to finding Nico out and about, even rescuing him? Also, how far has Mick gone and would still go if it meant having Nico?
Sorry if this turned into a rant, I was simultaneously appreciative and fascinated with your fic, and was hoping to read some more, if ever u plan to continue it. Nonetheless, thank you very much for putting it out there! It really was a great piece of work!
Hi anon! I can answer some of these questions, but others are meant to remain open.
Regarding the coucil's decision... I can't give you an answer, but I will say that Lewis and those close to him are the only ones with a vested interest in locking Nico away... the remainder of the council are not so bothered by him. I think Seb will try his best to vote impartially, and Lewis isn't voting, so consider that how you will. I wanted the fic to end in the sort of present day post-brocedes limbo, so I wasn't eager to resolve anything.
Will Lewis's actions be known? Lewis probably won't ever go on trial. I think his struggle after the fic is mostly internal. The most important thing is that he knows what he did. He isn't going to be forthcoming about it with the rest of the council, but Seb will probably guess. Since the Yas Marina represents AD21, I wonder if the end of Lewis's reign is coming? I'm not committed to that, but it makes sense wrt canon. Mick is not going to spill any of Lewis's secrets... I think he understands that Nico would prefer if everything between him and Lewis remained a personal matter.
As far as the nature of Mick and Nico's relationship... platonic might be a good way to put it? There aren't really any examples of romantic relationships on the level of marriage or dating in the fic, so I imagine that what Nico and Mick have is deep respect and some love with occasional sex. I don't think they're fucking while Nico is on trial, though.
What happened in the Yas Marina to save Lewis was essentially a transfer of magic as life energy? The Yas Marina had completely drained Lewis, and Nico gave his magic to bring him back to life... handwavey magic stuff mostly, but the idea was that Nico was very close to dying for real. Your other questions about what happened when Nico woke up, what was Lewis's reaction, how far would Mick go... I am keeping these to myself for redacted reasons. But imagine that as deeply as Mick feels for Nico, he has other obligations in the castle, and Nico would prefer that he behave.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the fic! It was truly a labour of love.

Hello sage bitches. My trusty old car is on its way out, and I'm going to need to get a new one soon. I do have enough money in savings to buy it outright without a loan (though it would put a...substantial dent in those savings), but some family members keep saying it might be a better idea to see if I can get a low-interest loan instead, because it "would be good to have paid off a big loan". I do have a credit score ~800, so it's possible that I could get a decent loan, and I have heard a lot of vague things about how it's good for your credit to have payed off a big purchase before, but something in me hates the idea of having to pay a higher total sum than I have to. Any advice?
Chickadee, I am so damn glad you came to us with this question. Step one: IGNORE YOUR FAMILY. They clearly don't understand the full extent of your situation and I'm a little worried they don't fully understand the purpose of credit, debt, and how it all works. No offense to them! This stuff is complicated. But sometimes you need an impartial juror.
The point of good credit is to get fair loans when you need them. The point of getting a loan when you don't need one is to build good credit. You have excellent credit AND you can afford this car without a loan. So getting an auto loan right now would be neutral for your credit score while costing you extra money in interest on the price of the car.
If you don't want to completely liquidate your savings, you can pay for two thirds of the car up front, and get a small loan for the rest of the cost of the vehicle. That's a perfectly reasonable and cautious choice! But make that choice based on your risk tolerance where your savings are concerned, NOT based on "how it's good for your credit to have payed off a big purchase." Because your credit is great.
I hope that all makes sense! Thank you so much for trusting us with your question!
Also, question for Bitch Nation at large: should this be spun into a larger article? Do you want more details on this kind of thing?

ANAAA HOW ARE YOU BESTIEEE 🥳💞
I was gone for a while (i had so many exams and hard lessons 😑) but i am back 🥳🥳
Aaand i have a question for you 😌🤓
Well you’ve finished Eos and you have seen all the cadre 😌😉 How would you rank the cadre in order to their hotness? (if you want to of course😋)
BESTIE Soooo glad you are back!!!!! I am very well, thank you for asking♥️ and you?? I imagine you must be pretty tired now.
And okay, I have started Tower of Dawn, I am on chapter 7. I'm really slow on this reading, but I'm enjoying it a lot. (Just so you know🤓😋)
Now, to answer your question, this is difficult. But let's go!!!!
I will try to be impartial and go by the facts🙂
Lorcan Salvaterre. He is HOTNESS. (With all respect, Elide). Dark hair. Over 500 years old. Morally gray. And on top of it all, he gives me an Azriel vibe. Need I explain more?
Gavriel. Besides on the outside he is a knockout, he is such a beautiful being on the inside. I just want to hug him and tell him how amazing and necessary he is.
Rowan Withetorn. He is third, but that doesn't mean he is less hot than the others. I won't even say anything else. His magic should be pure fire, just to match with him.
Fenrys Moonbeam. I know they are twins, but I don't know if I should put them together. So far, I am neutral about Fenry, and especially about Connall. But from what the books tell us, Fenrys is very handsome. Then Connal must be too.
Connall Moonbeam. [...]
Vaungh. I have no idea what he looks like, LMAO 😂 And SJM literally forgot he exists so😂😂
Being impartial didn't work.🙂
Okay, now youuu, bestie. (If you want to💕)

I mean I get all giddy every time I look at mutachurls' hands. Their fingers are so thick and honestly I'd be glad if they were either inside me or holding me tight so I won't slip off that monster dick 😳👉👈
Tbh I think slimes have tentacle potential? Different slimes different abilities. Electro slimes will give slight zaps for additional stimulation; hydro are basic ones (for beginner monsterfuckers skjksk), cryo and pyro are the ones that are not recommended because you'll either get stuck in ice or get set on fire. Dendro,,, I think these have rose-like thorns? Need to be careful with those
- Sigh (we're both going to hell I think. let's hold hands while doing so :D)
the first part kind of goes hand in hand with the last ask, so i'll just link it instead of repeating myself.
with slimes, i think hydro and cryo would probably be my choice of poison. hydro seems most tame, i agree, simply just wet tentacles. (kind of like osial, if you'd like to go there too.) i have a feeling i have thing for temp play, so obviously i'm impartial to the cryo slimes. the idea of cryo and pyro slimes at once seems pretty appealing too... the most obvious contrast of elements. i don't even want to think about the pain the dendro ones could cause >.<
nd if you want to hold my hand baby just ask <3 i have cold hands right now so they would definitely be appreciated ^w^

So, to start it, you must know that, according to Jung, the functions represent scales of Sensing-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling. The former is about how you perceive and learn information, while the latter is about how you make your judgements. This will be relevant in my explanation.
Also, keep something in mind: this is based solely on my findings and studies. I try as hard as I can to make the information accurate. If there is something wrong with what I said, please, correct me.
Let's start with The Extroverts™. Since these functions are extroverted, they interact with the outer world and on the objective; established facts and procedures, people, exterior feelings, the now, etc.
• Te:
Extroverted thinking, known as Te, is a judging function. This cognitive function is analytical, and Te users are all about facts, hard data, and standardized methods. They have the tendency to worry about what works and makes sense to the majority, and Te users take a logical approach via already existing systems and procedures. Most care about results and production.
Personality types where Te is their dominant:
ENTJ and ESTJ
Personality types where Te is their auxiliary:
INTJ and ISTJ
• Fe:
Extraverted feeling, or Fe, is a judging function. They are able to read one's moods, feelings, and body language, making them aware of what the exterior world likes, deslikes, outer morals, what is acceptable and what isn't. Because some of their priorities are to connect with people and emotions, they tend to change some of their opinions and habits, so they can keep the “harmony”.
Personalities types where Fe is their dominant:
ESFJ and ENFJ
Personalities where Fe is their auxiliaryy:
ISFJ and INFJ
• Se:
Extraverted sensing, or Se, is a perceiving function. Se users are focused on the objective, sensory world, and live in the moment. They make use of the five senses. Down-to-earth and practical, they are aware of what is happening around them, and unlike Ni/Ne, they are realistic. Se users learn about something via action and experiences; they go on new sensations and experiences so they can collect information. “Risk-taker” and “Free-spirit” are some of the titles you could associate to them. Some of the community may say this function has an eye for aesthetics and visuals.
Personalities where Se is their dominant:
ESTP and ESFP
Personalities where Se is their auxiliary:
ISTP and ISFP
• Ne:
Extraverted intuition, or Ne, is a perceiving function. Jokingly speaking, Ne users are the embodiment of the sentence “what if...?”. They interact with the outer world via patterns, metaphors, and abstract ideas. Those who have Ne are known to have many ideas and see the world as a bunch of possibilities to be explored. Ne users are not ALWAYS committed to only one idea. They have many projects, but only finish a few. Most people with this function are very open-minded and curious, and they are attracted to the new and novel. If something doesn't feel fresh to them, though, they end up... dropping it, and goes back in exploring.
Personalities where Ne is their dominant:
ENTP and ENFP
Personalities where Ne is their auxiliary:
INTP and INFP
Now, The Introverts™... since these functions are introverted, they mostly interact on the inner world and on the subjective; their minds, feelings, themselves, etc.
• Ti:
Introverted thinking, or Ti, is a judging function. Like Te, the Ti users are impartial, analytical and take decisions on a logical approach. However, it is more subjective; the systems and frameworks they use are more personalized and authentic to them. “What makes sense to me?” is one of the questions that can be associated with introverted thinking, because they have their own sense of reasoning.
One of the things I should probably add about them is how they handle facts. If an evidence is proven to be correct on a Ti user's perspective, but contradicts with their own logic, they find themself reevaluating their reasoning, so said evidence can fit in.
Personalities where Ti is their dominant:
INTP and ISTP
Personalities where Ti is their auxiliary:
ENTP and ESTP
• Fi:
Introverted feeling, or Fi, is a judging function. Like Fe, they make their decisions based on values and emotions. However, they possess their own moral code, and they possess a sense of self. “What is important to me?” and “what feels right to me?” are one of the questions that you can associate them with. They tend to not care about how the others might feel about their opinions, attitudes, and feelings, and they dislike those who act fake and unauthentic. They tend to stay true to themselves.
Personalities where Fi is their dominant:
INFP and ISFP
Personalities where Fi is their auxiliary:
ENFP and ESFP
• Si:
Introverted sensing, or Si, is a perceiving function. They worry with the “what it is”, and with the details. You could use a school book as an example: the book is full of details and concrete facts. That's how it works for most Si; they care about what is factual, and they prefer reliable evidence. Most Si users compare new information with their sensory data and the past.
Personalities where Si is their dominant:
ISFJ and ISTJ
Personalities where Si is their auxiliary:
ESFJ and ESTJ
• Ni:
Introverted intuition, or Ni, is a perceiving function. Like Ne, Ni users are good at identifying patterns, and both can also be quite attracted to metaphors, symbolism, and abstract concepts. They are focused on internal ideas. Most tend to have a deductive reasoning style to collect information. They try to find connections and trends with already known and old information to put it together, in order to find any clues to the present and future.
Personalities where Ni is their dominant:
INTJ and INFJ
Personalities where Ni is their auxiliary:
ENTJ and ENFJ
While Ni is similar to Si in many ways, one of the differences you might give to Si is that they are more organized in terms of reality and process. Ni users make use of abstract data, symbolism, and how one event has relations with the other, while Si uses more concrete data. Ni is not good at handling details, which is a strength to Si.
I hope you were able to understand something! My apologies if it's late; making the text took longer than I expected. In case there is a part you did not comprehend very well, let me know, and I will make further researching to explain it. You don't have to post this ask; I'm already glad in trying to teach you about the Cognitive Functions.
Thank you for reading through this.
OKAY I DIDNT ANSWER THIS BC I WAS READING OVER IT and ty!!! it makes wayyy more sense the way you put it. tysm for doing this for me :}} its really rather interesting, isnt it? please please please feel free to send me more stuff on it whenever^^ ill do some more research on my own, and itd be awesome to discuss if youd like :]

Justice league Snydercut review
Tumblr media
Wow talk about a long movie. Remember Mass Effect's 3 shit endings that were later improved (sorta) with DLCs. Well that is kinda how this movie is.
Before we start this, I just wanna say that I was very impartial throughout the whole snydercut movement. I wasn't part of it but I do see the good that they did in regards to some of their charities and with how the fandom itself has been painted in a negative light. So its good that they got what they have been demanding for quite some time. Snyder as director for me, I really am not the biggest fan of. His movies have some great cinematic moments that look amazing but the context around it is what muddles it for me.
Is it better than Whedon's JL? YES. To start I'll look at some of the things that I do like.
I do like how it was split into parts.  Gives it that miniseries/Comic book feel
Thank god they removed that stupid cringy flash landing on top of Diana's chest scene.
Darkseid looks good. I know some people have issues with it but I liked it. I mean looking at it first glance has me convinced its Darkseid. His voice isn't too bad either. Reminds me a bit of Injustice 2.
As much as I have issues with Darkseid being introduced so early I do like that he had a brief confrontation/glaredown with the League, foreshadowing a possible in person encounter and that the League needs to expand if they are going to fight against Darkseid.  
Steppenwolf's design has greatly improved and looks better than before.
Loved the scenes between Alfred and Diana.  Wish there was more of that.
I loved how the movie added Cyborg, Aquaman and Flash attempting to stop Superman from getting to Batman. I also liked how in this version,  Batman pleading to Clark's humanity telling him that world needs him and he needs to snap out of it.  Also bonus for taking out that scene of Batman on the ground groaning about how old he is getting.
Okay seeing Clark get the black suit and having the voiceovers of both his father's merge together works in terms of Clark's arc into becoming the person he was meant to be. Also like the use of Zimmerman's Ideal of Hope score wished they let it play out a little longer.  Probably my favourite moment in the film is where Superman just takes Steppenwolf's Axe like its nothing and freezes it.
Tumblr media
Now to go into some of the more critical stuff that bugged me when watching.
For a movie that is 4 hours long, pacing issues were bound to happen. I think the first example of this can be found in the opening with the Superman scream wave (which started to get a bit hilarious when his screams could be heard every now and then) hitting all three mother boxes. they are shown individually reacting to it and it takes time, where it could have just showed them together or an compilation of each of the motherboxes waking up. I know it Snyder's thing but tone down on the slow mo. Like some instances its fine (like with bullet time or Flash's scenes) but other instances I'm just like alright I get it.
The scene involving Cyborg transferring money into that single mother's bank account. Is he gonna do this for all the people suffering just like her? or just for that one person? I mean if you can hack into the world monetary system, you can solve a lot of financial issues affecting  the majoirty and not just one person. Did I miss the scene but why did Cyborg go from helping one poor person, suggesting the potential good he can do to change the world for the better  to "Fuck the world". Seems a bit inconsistent in character. Especially since he knows who Diana is (from what he says)  and that Parademons are after the motherbox. Maybe her offering help, you should take it? idk Vic. Also the whole Auto defense system malfunction, would it not be better if this was established beforehand where we see Vic struggling to maintain his body's autonomy leading up to the Superman confrontation? Prior to that it seemed he had it under control and his biggest conflict throughout the movie seemed more to be with him coming to terms with his new body. With that being said, Cyborg's character here is much more interesting and better than it was originally. I can see why Ray Fisher is so pissed (well that and the abuse he faced).  I am glad this was improved and gave the character a lot more to do.
The movie still has the same issue as before in regards to the whole motherbox plot and how convenient it was that all three are located on earth. You would think that with the involvement of Darkseid/Steppenwolf that separating them to distinct locations across space would make it more difficult to collect them. I mean we know that the Green Lanterns exist (we saw one get chomped), you'd think that they or the guardians would take one and secure it on Oa. The pushback to this would be "well there was only one green lantern and he died, so how could they retrieve the box?" which begs my question, why send only one? I mean it has been established that Darkseid is a known conqueror of worlds, you'd think the Guardians would be smart enough to send more than one Lantern to aid Earth in their fight.  Did they not think it would be a good idea to have the corps be more involved/keep an eye on earth since it is the only planet that was able to repel Darkseid's forces?
Tumblr media
Why is it that the best idea of security when it comes to humans is to bury it? Would it not be better in optics to look over it and know its location instead of dropping it somewhere on the off chance that someone might find it due to being  curious or the land changing/altering  making the box more easy to attain? A situation as dire/serious as this, you would think that the Amazons/Atlanteans would have been better prepped with armor/weapons for such an event. I mean you have the arrow of Artemis that shoots quite a distance to give Diana a message but not some kind of weapon that hurts/cripples Steppenwolf? Or better yet, how about the moment that the boxes started acting up after Superman's death, that Atlantis/Themiscarya would put aside any differences they had with one another and to the outside world to come together to secure the boxes?  How could Darkseid forget the name of the only planet that was able to force him to retreat? nor does he know that it harbors the anti life?
Did this movie break Aquaman's continuity? because from the dialogue between Mera and Arthur, its implied that Atlanna abandoned/left Arthur at Tom's doorsteps whereas in the movie,  we see Atlanna spend a couple of years with Tom and raising baby Arthur before she was forced to come back. You'd think Zack being a producer for the Aquaman  movie would have edited that line or made it more clear. Well that or James Wan F'ed up when making the movie.
"I've never seen a being as strong as Steppenwolf" Did Diana just forget Ares aka the god of war who killed the Greek Pantheon/Old gods and orchestrated the first World War? Hell from the looks of the flashback it seemed Ares (I'm assuming its Ares, if its Hades, my bad) was getting some good hits in on Darkseid, who is superior to Steppenwolf.  While we are on the topic of Diana, it's a bit odd that Snyder who  was a producer on WW84 where one of the biggest focuses on the movie that Patty Jenkins talked about was how Diana doesn't solve her problems with violence (even though her primary weapons in this movie are a sword and shield but okay. Then again New 52 hasn't done a good job in disproving that), yet in this movie we see her using her gauntlet smash to fucking kill the one remaining terorrist. Like sure you can argue that they were terrorists and deserve to die, but given how easy and quick it was for her to take out the previous guys, why do something that runs the risks of destroying the very building that you are in (with hostages). I mean from the look of the blast and how much debris fell from the building outside, and it was a miracle no one (but the terrorist) got hurt/killed.
Why did Steppenwolf  kidnap  them in the first place? Just use that mind extracting device you used on the Atlantean soldier to see if they know. Seems like a waste of time to collect them in one location only to interrogate them later.
Okay, I'm sorry but even in this cut I still don't like Miller's Barry Allen. He isn't as bad as he was in the theatrical cut but man does it stick out. When he is helping to escort the kidnapped civilians out, why doesn't he just grab them and transfer them to a safe distance? He even makes a comment about how slow they are going. Can I also just say how weird it is for Barry to take time saving Iris to caress her hair and look at her more creepily in slow mo? Like yeah its in slow mo but still I think your priority should be to get everyone to safety as quick as possible and check if anyone else could get hurt.  I will admit that Barry's speech as he is running so fast to reverse time at the end was really good. Tho the more I think about all the slow mo Flash scenes are good.
Tumblr media
They still kept the "Let's use the mother box to bring back Superman plot". Why? This is a piece of tech that you don't fully understand how it works and you are going on the whims of someone you just met. Especially if they come back as a different person/mindset all together.  If Superman 's death was the reason that allowed for the Mother box to call to Steppenwolf/Darkseid, what the hell were they doing prior to Superman's arrival on earth? I mean we've seen how easy it was for Steppenwolf to attain the two boxes even if they were guarded, so why the wait ?. I get that Batman is going through an arc and trying to change from the person he was but how does go from "1% chance of absolute certainty" to "let's go on a whim and have faith" when it comes to resurrecting Superman? 
Its gonna be awkward as to how Clark will explain his sudden return from the grave around the same time Superman came back.
I was wondering when the Knightmare scene will play out. Jared leto's Joker isn't over with me, it seems way too try-hard to be edgy. Other than that yeah, not much I can say about it. Tho do we seriously need another iteration where Superman (or someone with Superman like powers) is evil?
I also love how nonchalant Bruce is about J'onn appearing in front him. However the revelation that J'onn was that army general all the time breaks so much of continuity (and just why now did you decide to show up and help and not idk the time Zod invaded and nearly  terraformed earth, HELL WHY TF DIDN'T SHOW UP TO HELP THE LEAGUE IF YOU KNEW ABOUT DARKSEID, I'M SORRY TO RAG ON BUT REALLY THIS CAMEO JUST OPENS UP SO MANY QUESTIONS, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE AN "PALPATINE WAS BEHIND THIS ALL ALONG" KIND OF THING ).
Tumblr media
In terms of getting a sequel, I am not sure if WB is going to go through with it given that their current vision seems to be a different route than the one Snyder intended so who knows. Despite my criticisms I do believe this is Snyder's best DCEU film to date and probably one of his better films. You could tell that he put in a lot to make this. The movie itself does have issues mostly due to the plot surrounding the motherbox as well as pacing. I would say it's worth the watch at least once, though I think its best to watch it in doses rather than one sitting. Ultimately this is the version that we should have gotten and I can see why so many people who were supportive of Zack wanted or vouched for him to finish it. Regardless, I think the very least I am happy for Snyder. If you like Snyder's previous stuff, you will like this one, if you don't, your perception of the film won't change significantly other than some cool bits here and there.

Enjoyed your essay on Oswald as Loki and love your Gotham Gods series, would you mind sharing your thoughts on other characters and gods associations? I'm particularly curious about Hera and Fish, also have to say the choice of Falcone as Hades was brilliant, complete with his own Perspephone and all! (In that connection, Fish would also make a great reverse Demeter, she who brings prosperity.) Also, Zsasz and Anubis, your thoughts on the aspect of judgement? Thanks for bringing this to life!!!
Hello!
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the series (which I do intend on continuing someday) and that my Oswald as Loki essay made some sort of sense to you.
This is the part where I have to put my hands up and admit to not having such good reasons for choosing the other characters’ Gods as I did for Oswald and Loki - the connection I drew between those two is what inspired me to start the series in the first place, and from then on it was less a matter of being struck by a strong comparison as trying to find the best fit I could. As a result the links are a somewhat more tenuous.
With Fish as Hera I was keen to find a Goddess who was suitably temperamental and vengeful (no shortage of those), but was also suitably important, if that makes sense. I settled on Hera due to her position as ‘Queen of the Gods’, her infamous temper, and her connections to women in power and the family (all the straight up ‘mother’ Goddesses were too ‘nice’ for lack of a better term, and I did find some stuff on her early incarnations being connected to motherhood). There was some discussion for a while of making her Skadi, down in part to her connection with Loki.
Zsasz as Anubis was one of those ones that jumped out at me and felt super obvious before I could even articulate why. Almost as strongly as the ‘well of COURSE Selina is Bastet’ thing.
To my mind, Zsasz had to be a death God, but not one who was also ruler of the underworld in whatever tradition he was from - Anubis fit that bill perfectly. A lot of my thoughts on Zsasz come from my perception of him as one of the less ‘evil’ of the Gotham bad guys - guy has a job he enjoys and takes pride in, and does it well, but he’s sort of, the cheerfully neutral face of your impending demise. Appropriate for a death god, as they get a worse rap in popular culture than they deserve. In terms of the judgement angle, Anubis’s very position as the one who weighs your soul to see what your fate will be carries with it a sense of impartiality - the concept of judgement vs that of being judgemental. It’s not a matter of his personal opinion on you, it’s what the scales say, and if that means your soul gets eaten well then, that’s just unfortunate for you isn’t it. By the same token Zsasz being sent to kill you doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you, but if he’s been sent to get you, you’re going down, sorry pal.
Most of the characters in Gotham being both villains and sympathetic to one degree or another meant the opportunity to look at both the better sides of Gods who have had unfortunate labels attached to them over the years (damnit Christianity, just because you have a ‘Devil’...) and the darker sides of the ‘nice’ Gods. Hence stuff like Babs as Aphrodite; Goddess of love and beauty and fucking people’s shit up for petty reasons (ah Ancient Greece and Gotham and their respective misogyny). 
I have a few more ideas for more entries in the series that I won’t reveal here, but man, Jim is a problem for me. As is Ed. And Jerome tbh.
Anyway, thanks for taking an interest in the series and listening to my rambling, sorry it took so long for me to respond!

I'm Not Short Shirt
Do you love it? https://kuteeboutique.com/shop/im-not-short-shirt/
I'm Not Short Shirt
I’m still trying to figure out what is going on over there but I think I’m starting to like this young Prince. He certainly is a visionary and has great ideas on leading Saudi Arabia into the I’m Not Short Shirt. I suppose in order to freely implement his plans he must first remove all those who are stuck in the past and reluctant to change but my goodness, I still find it absurd that some of the wealthiest men in the world are being charged with EMBEZZLEMENT. I believe it could be true but my goodness, was BILLIONS not enough for them. That is just crazy.

Talk about efficiency and transparency, the committee was formed two days ago, it imprisoned (if Ritz Carlton can be denoted as a prison) on the same day, and now they seem to have already finished investigation. And it just happened that the Crown Prince heads the impartial committee, certainly he and his father have accumulated their wealth through hard work, spending hours on the dock….On a positive note, glad to see that this tyrannical wretched dynasty is imploding. A corrupt state creates more corruption and not surprised cos they are killing so many in other countries.
Im Not Short Sweater
Same thing in Canada….the CBC. Regardless of political ideology, I have never understood why my tax dollar funds anchor men/women, comedians(or so called ones), journalists etc…This could be easily done privately like other channels/broadcasters, or sold off. But they do push the liberal and left agenda to the core. Disgusting, The BBC is suposed to be politically neutral yet here you are showing support towards the EU! If I had the money I would take you to court! Night of the long knives has begun it seems, hey Ali baba watch your back everyone is guilty if you cross this Arab.

This young Prince, off the back of British media, is a welcomed read. Although I can’t help but feel the good publicity, however optimistic it sounds, aims to divert from Saudi participation elsewhere, not to mention controversial deals that were yesterday’s news. I won’t dampen the optimism, but I won’t be fooled into thinking Saudi Arabia is anywhere near emitting similar ideals as most of the progressive world either. But hey, baby steps yeh? It wasn’t that long ago that the UK performed it’s last public execution. I see the Saudi change the British media are willing to endorse and I’m on board.

They are criminal economic migrants who fly to Indonesia and pay people smugglers to carry them the rest of the way to Australia, they have been offered housing in PNG and a number of other countries but their target is Australia so they refuse. If Europe showed some backbone like Australia hundreds of children who drowned in the Mediterranean would still be alive today.London police don’t bother with burglars anymore. Part of their progressive program. They’re more interested in ppl posting mean tweets after an act of Islamic terrorism.

In S Korea, They love that Johnnie Walker, that’s for sure. Number one requested item from nationals while I was stationed there in the I’m Not Short Shirt. Huge black market item for some reason. Never got it for them though, or we would get in trouble. Johnnie Walker and Hennessy are very cherished brands in Asian countries. They have done a very good job cultivating a prestige and luxury image, brand loyalty, and a strong market. According to what I’ve read, each NK embassy has to show a hefty profit by running its own smuggling operation.
