I have absolutely no beef (lol) with vegans but sometimes I still think about this person who I got in an argument with who was genuinely trying to convince people that humans are herbivores... Hello..

#ramblings #this would have been several years ago now (jesus) but it still baffles me.. #i dont wanna go fully into it cuz its like. a stupid argument that i dont wanna waste time thinking abt but i still vividly remember #them trying to argue that are teeth mean we're actually herbivores. jesus christ #AGAIN i have nothing against vegans. i respect the choice whether it be out of a serious dietary need or if its part of your animal #rights activism. or even just simple preference. but MAN this kinda `humans are meant to be herbivores` thing is just annoying #and to be completely clear i also think the inverse of people claiming a carnivorous diet is good to also be stupid #idk im watching the li speaks video on peta's parody games and it has me thinking abt this so i need to let it out lest i go insane

reasons to like heath: a summary

just a few actual canon facts i wanna point out to all the haters cuz im gettin pretty tired of my fav either being forgotten about or called. extremely rude things (not talkin about anyone specific here, except maybe that no one really. includes him in anything. but i mean have you s e en the ancient fandom on dA/ffnet its awful)

- heath is? actually very intelligent. an argument ive seen used is that he cant speak english/whatever language is spoken in almia and therefore must be stupid, and laughably so. but ?? fluency in a language =/= intelligence. his plan to LET kate/kellyn take the yellow gem and force them to trade it for keith, unlike his coworkers’ plots, actually worked. it was well thought out and well executed. if he really was stupid he would have done the same thing ice and lavana did, and perhaps an even soddier job. so y'all can quit the “ice is way smarter than heath” thing just cause blueboy did extra homework and heath is foreign

- despite being a villain he? isnt a total jerk? he isnt as shallow and conceited as lavana acts toward the player, he doesnt make fun of them like ice- hes. a decent guy just trying to do his job. he doesnt want to humiliate anyone (and i personally dont think he would have harmed keith while keeping hostage either. while people are. certainly welcome to interpret that plot point however they want i dislike the idea of heath purposefully hurting anyone; it just adds to the negative stigma around him in the fandom).

- he is INCREDIBLY loyal. while his loyalty is certainly in the wrong place (its possible he wasnt fully aware of blakes plan anyway, what with not understanding his language well, and he may not have been told the end goal if it would cost his loyalty), you have to admire that he didnt turn and run like a coward upon defeat, unlike ice and lavana who were only concerned about themselves and not whether their absence would cost their team the goal. heath, meanwhile, went to check on his boss to make sure he was okay, to help in any way he could even though he failed. (blake proceeded to get angry at him for failing of course, not seeing how brave he was being by showing his face and just how much he wanted to make up for that loss.) he ONLY bailed after it became clear blake and darkrai were getting out of control- blake had shoved wheeler into the dark void WILLINGLY, the player that had proven so powerful and bested heath and his coworkers so many times was LOSING, unable to fix the nightmare his boss was unleashing…thats scary stuff

- and speaking of darkrai heath was . you know, There when everything happened, i know lots of people like to forget that. all the player’s trauma from being in that void? you can bet heath would have nightmares about it too. just think about what he saw. what he heard. thats just as terrifying as being subject to it himself and if you think he wouldnt have been scarred for life after all of that go ahead and think again. hes really a very deep character if you actually give him some thought

- also probably has a crush on the player what a dork??? remember his level in the incredible machine? when he was talking to his rhyperior (which he called cute btw. a giant rock rhino is cute to this man. he loves his pokemon hes so good i love??him) he comments “i am hearing someone coming in…” and mentions that they dont smell like a member of dim sun. like. what even. youre saying i smell good? ok, valid compliment but Where would he get the idea to compliment your Smell???? he must be very flustered by seeing the player and also has an exceptionally keen sense of smell dyou think he would wear ridiculously expensive kalosian cologne to impress people i bet he does your fav would never

- tumblr in general, not necessarily the ranger fandom, loves to complain about the lack of fat/poc/immigrant characters positively portrayed in media. lemme just introduce you to my lord and savior heath, a nonwhite fat man who is very obviously Not from almia, like. im honestly ? surprised this guy doesnt have more fans? actually, im not, because ice is a conventionally attractive white male “bad boy” and listen im so salty about this

TLDR; heath is Good and deserves more love than what he gets. this has been a psa, please love your local heath today
