Writers Against Hunger
To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger
Just found out about this. A November writing challenge for a good cause. We need more of this type of energy and ideas in the world.
I know finances are tight for a lot of folks these days but if you you can't contribute financially, feel free to spread the word if you feel so inspired.
Arcane season 2, episodes 5-6: random reactions
In no particular order....
I dont understand all the things about Mel's origins and exactly why she was kidnapped and who kidnapped her, but I feel like her exploding gold was her unlocking her birthright some kind of way...
Speaking of Mel's abduction, her mom seemed to understand she'd been kidnapped im an earlier epssiode but it kind looks like in these episodes, she does not care. Like she's moved in to fill the power vaccum of most of the city council members being taken out, including her own daughter.
The alchemy dude is Mr. Freeze?
AND OH NO! WHY IS JINX'S ADOPTED WARD GAROCHE FROM LES MIS?! HELP! NO! THAT KID WAS LIKE THE ONLY THING MAKING HER NOT WANT TO BE UNHINGED ANYMORE?!?!?! POOR BABY!
Okay, when Jayce was running around likena madman with his hammer, where the heck is Echo?!? Humdinger?! I kept thinking Echo's gonna pop in fix things because he's a problem solver, where others divide, he brings people and ideas together. Echo has to make it! It's a need!
Oh Vi and Jinx just found Vander and were starting to heal and then to have him and their hope, for lack of a better word, violently ripped away like that... my heart!
Odysseus gets some friendly advice
Did Hermes really tell Odysseus to make Cersei promise not to castrate him before he would sleep her?! Oh my word!
Every day is littered with my failures.
Momma Agatha
"I spoke no spell. I said no incantation. You... you were made from scratch."Oh my word!
This line! All the terrible things Agatha did, all the hurt she caused, the people she unalived, she wholly loved her little boy.
And then there's Billy. The son of her nemesis, the one who trapped Agatha in her own mind. And yet, not only is Billy the one who released her, but because of the power he inherited from Wanda, Billy gets a second chance.
For all her power, Agatha didn't have the power to grant Nicky more time. And Agatha can't blame him for what he did. For one, I'm not sure how intentional what Billy did was. For two, William died. His heart stopped and his soul left his body. For three, Agatha did far worse and did so intentionally.
Ugh! The symbolism! The parallels! The feels!
Achilles ...
Achilles was a jerk! This is one of my biggest takeaways from the Illiad. He spent chapters upon chapters in his tent throwing a four because the king got Briares, aka lady captured during war and then she becomes a spoil of war aka s*x slave. Then his boyfriend is slain and after a frack ton of his comrades in arms are already deceased, he decides that he's gonna take Hector out. To avanege his boyfriend. That's the only reason he hauled hismelf out of his tent. And as a friend reminded me, that's how the Illiad starts out talking about the rage of Achilles.
Anyway, so Hector knowing he's dying friggin begs Achilles with his last breath to send his body back to his fam and Achilles is like, 'nah, im gonna do every foul thing my ever lovin mind can think of to desecrate your body and make sure you never get laid to rest so neither your spirit nor your family can ever know any peace.'
And I was like I get Hera's perspective as the goddess of marriage, why she sided with the Greeks, jealousy over not being awarded a golden apple aside. Because at the center of this whole mess is Helen and Menelaus's broken family. And of course many, many more families were harmed as a result of the conflict but those 2, along with Paris were at the epicenter. But when she basically was like, 'screw Hector's corspe, he's only a mere mortal and Achilles is the son of one of my best girlie pops so team Achilles all the way...' No ma'am. That's where she lost me in the story.
Hector was the one who was left holding the bag and basically protecting everyone in his city who was suffering because his brother was used by the gods.
Terry "Trees to Meet You", Flipped Sides
Terry flipping sides! I don't think i ever would have guessed that one. Because they have been fine with practically everything Claudia had done up to that point. But of course Aravos was intentionally trying to drive a wedge between them, further isolating Claudia. But seriously, no joke, that bird killing was so heinous.
Dragon prince season 7 - Justice and Mercy
Oh man! There was some good stuff in here and it is going to be tough for me to pinpoint the details because I have slim to no self control and friggin' binged it over a weekend!
One of the things that was so so striking was King Ezran and Rayla ending up on opposite sides of justice and mercy. Because the beginning of the series and even the history of things that happened prior to the start point are about the escalation of prejudices and the cycle of revenge. King Ezran and Reyla were so integral to this cycle being broken in earlier seasons. And now they've come full circle, back the beginning and they're standing in opposition to each other.
And we see this theme playing out, albeit differently, with the Queen Janai and her brother, Prince Karim. After wrestling with the fact that her brother staged a coup and nearly ursurped her, she doesn't want there to be blood shed between them. And she wants to give him another chance, for his partner and unborn children, but Prince Karim cannot accept his sister's dedication to building a lasting peace between the 2 peoples.
Again we see the themes of justice and mercy. For Prince Karim, being unable to let go of his hate cost him the future he could have had whereas King Ezran was eventually able work through it.
Pitting the elves and humans against each other, kept them divided and unable to mount a response to Aaravos, or at the very least only a weak one. By fighting each other, they were playing right into his hands.
Panem et Circenses...
“Panem et Circenses translates into ‘Bread and Circuses.' The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power.”
Plutarch Heavensbee, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Evil triumps when good people do nothing...
This is like one of the core principles in miraculous, right?
But Gabey Baby who is terrorist and a child abuser gets a hero statue made of him after he dies and Marinette becomes his propagandist while Lila /Cerise who is over here giving a master class on how to be a psychopath gets a magic jewel so she can be the next big bad.
Marinette took the high road, so to speak, with Gabe and eventually exposed Lila for what she is. And somehow they both still won and Maribug lost.
Maybe this will be resolved in future seasons but I'm not getting my hopes up.
So-called Every Day Rustics...
"Nicole": Excuse me, sire, but there is nothing natural about it. A country's character is defined by its "everyday rustics" as you call them. They are the legs you stand on, and that position demands respect, not...
Henry: Am I to understand that you find me arrogant?"
"Nicole": Well, you gave one man back his life, but did you even glance at the others?
Eponine's final scene
I've listened to this soundtrack and seen the show so many times over the years... why did it just now occur to me the greater significance of why Eponine appears to Jean Val Jean as he's dying? They barely met in life, right? I just realized she was probably watching over Marius even after she died. Her spirit probably saw Val Jean rescue him, maybe she even gave him some support as he was carrying Marius through and out of the sewer. Eponine is Marius' guardian angel as Fantine is Cosette's and now together, their spirits unite to guide the one who sacrified so much for the ones they loved in life and in death as he passes to the other side...
I....
Da-Eun and Chozen sittin' in a tree...
When Da-Eun and Chozen went enemies to lovers in like 10 minutes! I did not know I needed this ship in my life! Yes! I hope it works out for them but considering they both have volitle personalities, they could sink or swim.
When Chozen tried to explain hismelf to Daniel and said it was a mistake! Oof! Bro! He may have ruined any chamces he had right then and there.
But then he had her back when the big brawl went down and told no mistakes. If they can get over their differences, they have the potential to become this epic power couple and I am seated!
Werepapas preview featuring Émilie and Adrien
I know a lot of people hate Émilie but I adore her and I just saw the Émilie and Adrien clip Gloob just released from Werepapas. I'm going feral and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to function and keep up the charade of being a normal human.
Devon's betrayl and possible future role
Ugh! I was rooting so hard for Devon when the kids were competing for spots on the Seikai Taikai team and then it turns out she was the one who slipped the laxatives in Kenny's drink.
I'm glad she did eventually come clean and her and Kenny seem to be on good terms. I know the show is ending and the main characters we've been following since season 1 are graduating but I'd like to imagine Devon and Kenny are the ones leading the team next year. And I could see them having a friend/sibling level relationship. Don't get me wrong, the romantic drama has been fun but I'm sure the senseis would be relieved to have a break from all that going on between the students.
Elendil and Tar-Míriel: a special kind of chemistry
They have such an incredible emotional or spiritual chemistry. They would anything for each other, despite the fact they often disagree about what the right thing to do is.
And sometimes the results of their disagreements are them learning that what is the right thing to do for one of them is different than what the right thing to do is for the other. They learning that they each have to walk their own path as Believers and as citizens who want the best for Númenor.
Nearly every scene between them at least since Tar-Míriel lost her sight has been with this heightened emotional chemistry. I need them to make it! I need them to find happiness however that looks for them, whether thats as besties, found family siblings or lovers. I don't care! It's a need at this point!
Doomed forge of Eregiom
Oh man! That opening shot of the forge felt so ominous. The last time it will know piece. The beginning of the end! Help! I can't!
