This is not easy cause I’ve never really had a favorite, I mostly really like all of them equally, but maybe The Geek
13.One of your favorite lines?
Millions, especially Max lines that I quote all the time, I’ve always loved this one
18.This franchise can get pretty deep, any analysis of the characters or the franchise itself you want to talk about?
There are SO many things I can overanalyze with this franchise, and I’ve already done so millions of times, but I’ll do it once again! This will be very long I’m sorry
This time let’s talk about Max, and his actual canon depression
I’ve recently replayed s3 and of course I’ve just played the remaster, and I really had forgotten how it really is canon that Max is depressed. It’s not fan interpretation and it’s not the typical “happy character is actually sad” characterization fandoms tend to make, it’s actually real
(spoilers for season 3!)
Max always seems extremely overconfident and has a massive ego, but he also seems to be really depressed and really not like himself. Max has a tendency to lie, mostly for jokes, but he jokes around so much that I don’t think even Sam knows when he’s being honest. Max jokes about how he’d take Sam with him if he died first, but he doesn’t do that. Max jokes about how he is super cool and the most important person ever, but he really really doesn’t like himself. Most of the time I think he’s just genuinely joking, others it seems like he’s lying to himself to feel better, but it’s become so common none of them even notice at this point
We can see in the cartoon that when Max is not around Sam he becomes REALLY depressed, to the point of not being able to function on his own or ending up in a very bad place
We see more of Sam’s perspective in s3, we know he doesn’t handle well being without Max but the truth is, he COULD live without him, even if he would be extremely depressed, he still can function on his own
Max... couldn’t. There is a reason why he literally uses a time machine, completely abandons his last dimension, just to be with another version of Sam. Max needs Sam way more than Sam needs him, Sam is the only person that understands him and he’s probably the main reason why Max is so happy all the time
Sam seems way better at talking to others, Max is just there to make comments from time to time, mostly jokes. I’m not saying he can’t talk to others or make other friends, but it really seems like it would be way more difficult for him. Most people either think Max is weird or a funny guy, but very few seem to actually care about him. Max would be really lonely without Sam, and he is probably aware that a lot of people doesn’t like him, for the reasons he doesn’t like himself
Max takes antidepressants, one of three vices seems way more like his depressive side than his “sloth”, and his superego (which in a way is a part of him) literally wants to kill him
Max is constantly moving, constantly in action, but he reaches a point where he only wants to lay down and watch TV. The fact that a part of him would prefer to do that until he dies is... concerning!
Superego hates Max so much he wants to destroy him. He doesn’t like the way Max is and thinks that Max is not reaching his full potential. In a way, Superego is a part of Max, even if he is his own person, but he really reflects Max’s self-loath.
What Superego doesn’t understand is that having fun with Sam is what makes Max happy. Max has a lot of potential, not only cause he has inexplicably powers but he also seems to be way smarter and way more talented than what one would think at first. But none of that matters to Max, from time to time again we see that no matter how much Sam and Max’s life changes the one thing that stays constant is their relationship, that’s the thing that matters to them the most.
Superego couldn’t even see that Max can be a good person until he sacrificed himself for Sybil. The fact that not even his Superego, a part of him, truly knows or understands Max, but SAM does, speaks volumes
And the fact that a part of Max wants to kill Max is... concerning!
So yeah, Max is not okay but at least he is happier with Sam, and they take care of each other, I’m sure he’ll be okay in the future
hiya! I figured id make an informational post about the little things ive noticed about being on testosterone that I found weren’t talked about a lot when I was starting my transition and even before when I was doing my research. I think that trans sexual health is an extremely important part of trans peoples lives (and that doesnt necessarily mean sex) seeing as the physical changes that happen during transition are often foreign to us. Sexual health keeps us healthy and comfortable in our bodies, so do your best to stay attentive to your body’s changes! As always, consult your doctor if you feel the need to. These are only tips ive learned from transitioning myself and from my doctor when I asked about certain things.
I am Inas, a mother of two young children: Muhammad, 7 years old, and Hala, 5 years old. They should have been living their childhood like all children—safe and warm in the embrace of their father. But the war has stolen that dream from us😭😭😭
Six months ago, my husband Anas, a kind-hearted man who endured a life of poverty, was killed by a random shell while on his way to work as a taxi driver. Since that tragic day, I’ve been left to carry the unbearable weight of life alone.
I held a diploma in international secretarial studies and was about to start a job to help support my family. But the war shattered not only our home but also my hopes and dreams. We’ve been displaced six times and now live in a tent that offers no shelter from the bitter cold or the ever-looming fear.
My young children face relentless hunger that weakens their fragile bodies and a cold that knows no mercy for their small hearts. Each day, their cries for warmth and food grow louder, and each day, I feel more helpless to provide them with even the basics of life💔😭😭
I appeal to your humanity, to your compassion. We need your help to survive, to find a safe shelter, and to feed my children. Your generosity could be the reason Muhammad and Hala continue to live and find hope amidst this darkness🥹
Please, help me keep the light of these innocent children from being extinguished by this cruel world
