#missed potential

[furiousgoldfish]

I hate the idea of 'missed potential' or 'missed opportunities', because 99% of that is hollow made up garbage. My 'potential' is only what I feel like doing and what I want to be doing, there is no 'third hidden potential' that I'm failing to put to use, my only potential is my own prerogative. There's nothing else I should be doing or developing right now or I'm missing out, I know my reality, I know my abilities, I'm choosing to do this, there's zero potential for anything else but my free will to be exercised.

Also most of what is presented as an 'opportunity' today is an opportunity to be exploited. You're not missing out on jobs you could be doing right now, you're doing better using your own time for your own purposes than it being stolen for someone else's. You're not failing to rise to the opportunity if it's something you don't feel like doing, something you don't feel confident or happy doing, or something that scares you - that's not an opportunity! That's literally just something you don't want to be doing. It can miss you and you're better for it.

There's not a wild fantasy world of insane things one could be doing if only they didn't miss opportunities, in reality a person cannot be expected to modify their own free will and jump into someone else's in order to 'not miss out' or 'fulfill potential'. We can fulfill our potential by doing exactly what we feel like, when we feel like it. Also it is insulting to imply someone only has 'potential', because we all have more than that. We're someone already. We're doing something already, just by being. We're a part of society, we're surviving, we're experiencing the world and we're making choices. If you see that and go 'ah missed potential', then you're just creating an in to trick people into thinking that they could be more fulfilled following your will, rather than their own. And no they would not be. We're more than the 'potential' to do someone else's bidding.

Void elves disappoint me cause they could look so cool and creepy, but they're just normal elves painted purple with tendrils in their hair

I get they gotta be marketable so they have to be pretty but... maybe a few extra eyeballs or black holes for eyes would've been neat

#their lore is very bleh too #missed potential #kott talks

Anyone else think it's super weird how Vanessa/Vanny not only don't have a TFTP story about them, but aren't even mentioned in the books at all?

They had the perfect opportunity, multiple opportunities to develop her character and they just...didn't.

Again, not only do they not have any stories about her in a series surrounding the lore of the PLACE THAT SHE WORKS AT, but they never mention her in any way, shape or form at all. They treat her as if she doesn't even exist.

There is one more thing that the Ahsoka show missed the chance to have: a reunion between Ahsoka and Chewbacca. I can’t be the only one who's thought about it. They met during the Clone Wars when they were both captured by those Trandoshan hunters.

The shirtless, jeans & cowboy boots look... 

I blame Ezreal for this

#sir what are you doing dressed like that #my only complaint about this future Ekko design is that they should have ditched his straight hair #like imagine how much better he would look with his arcane hairstyle #missed potential #ekko #League of Legends

something about the third aquaman movie if it ever happened: it most likely would’ve focused on the next generation (Arthur Jr…) bc I remember an interview where Jason himself said he wanted it to focus on the next generation

#he said he would probably get in trouble for saying it 💀 #I can’t find the interview now but it’s somewhere #we probably aren’t getting that third movie but there’s the concept of it #missed potential

I feel like out of all the elven races, Sunfire elves would be the ones to wear really nice and elaborate earrings

They've got the biggest ears

Lux aurea is literary the city of gold

Could be a nice show of status

#sunfire elves #i just wanna see elves woth some cool piercings #not just earrings #i know some of them have earrings but still #missed potential #also i know it's cause of animation difficulty #the dragon prince

im sorry but at dinner the velaryon boys could've really given aemonds speech about them being strong boys a run for it's money by cracking one eye jokes like, "let's see....." "im gladdened to know our families are finally able to see..eye-to-eye....." "we the velaryon princes will be sure to patch things up with the targaryen princes, for family and duty above all cannot be...amiss......" LIKE??? aemonds single eye would literally implode out of his skull?????? poor baby would've ran out the room, sobbing

Hey Isa!

My hot take is, why bother in making Arthur Shelby Sr appear for five minutes if they didn’t plan to make his character go further? He was a truly villain there (in my humble opinion), like make them trust him once more and he could be the one causing a big breakup in the family or something else, Idk big…

OMG YES, Mar! Preach 🤗

I get that his presence was more to show Arthur's conflicting feelings and where he was mentally but the man has no weight outside from that 😤 I remember him more because Tommy says he sees him after news of his death arrived.

I wanted to see more of his relationship (or lack there of) with Polly. They're siblings after all! He doesn't even have a scene with Ada or John for that matter.

Send me an anon ask (or just an ask if you want) telling me your hot takes on Peaky Blinders 🤗

Nintendo Switch hasn't used its touchscreen well enough

Sure it'd be impossible according to the laws of physics to get touch controls in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Fall Guys anytime soon. But what was stopping the various game studios from adding touch support to games like Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Tetris 99, or Paper Mario Origami King?

The thing is, I've got a private secretary who is 49 by now, and she cannot comprehend such a concept as an "analogue stick" if it was a matter of life and death. So instead she plays abominations on her Android pad, like parking space puzzle things, and match-3 games, to my absolute horror.

Had Nintendo been extra serious in appealing to old people who just barely know what Instagram and routers are, touchscreen-only input for games would've been a lifesaver for them.

[Cut Content] "Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach - Gameplay Trailer | PS5" but only with stuff that's actually in the game

In KH3, they missed out on the dramatic and comedic potential of Vanitas meeting Roxas. Imagine with me a scenario with Roxas, Ventus, and Sora strolling up to fight Vanitas, okay? Not only is there potential for some confusion over who is who, but then we add in the reveal that Vanitas looks like Sora. Doubles and doppelgangers all around.

Ok but hear me out. Sheva, when learning the blond angry sunglasses wearing man was Wesker, she says "So that’s Wesker?"

She should have added an "eww" right after.
