A Winter Wishday Theory/Observation

My My Little Pony theory: The creating of the blizzard made sense. WARNING, Winter Wishday SPOILER.

If you don´t know, My Little Pony has started a new “generation” of ponies. The newest generation is generation 5. The main series is on Netflix called “Make Your Mark” and is a continuation of generation 4. This is important info.

Generation 5 bases a lot of its lore on generation 4, but it rarely answers what happened between gen4 and gen5. The gen5 Christmas special “Winter Wishday” references the past though, but not in a way that My Little Pony fans expected.

See, in gen4 the three main pony races had a genetic talent each. Earth ponies were strong and could grow crops well. Pegasi could fly and be in control of the weather. Unicorns could do the more “typical” magic and in the far away past used to use their magic together to raise and lower the sun and moon. This later job was later given to their country leaders. Unicorns could manipulate the weather (as shown with the unicorn Rarity in episode 13 season 3) but it was difficult for them. 

Now in the new special of generation 5, magic is much more powerful than in gen4. Earth pony magic in terms of growing food is now overpowered, but Pegasi have shown no sign of controlling the weather for some reason. The weather is self-sufficient. Unicorns have now shown themselves to outshine the other two main ponies again.

The winter special has the three pony races introducing their own winter celebration and traditions. The unicorns have a tradition of greeting each other with “Frosty Shivers” on that particular Not-Christmas day. Every unicorn, old and young, did this with no trouble. The greeting later proves to be an ancient spell for making it snow on Not-Christmas. The cast learns that since there was no magic for ages (aka between g4 and g5) the unicorns forgot the reason for the saying and now that magic is back (it comes back at the beginning of g5) the greeting suddenly means something more. So the unicorns over the course of a day have created a blizzard.

In generation 4 all the pony races lived together in harmony and celebrated during their Not-Christmas that they all lived together. At the beginning of generation 5, the races were separated and had separate traditions. So I theorize that at some point after they split, the unicorns still wanted snow for their re-branded Not-Christmas Not-Celebrating-Multi-Pony-Race-Harmony holiday and used their limited weather magic together. Probably all doing a small spell together instead of 1 unicorn struggling to control an element that isn´t their genetic specialty (aka Rarity). Since g4 magic was weaker than g5, every unicorn could do it and not create a blizzard. Now that the magic is stronger in the new generation, the greeting “Frosty Shivers” had more power and outdid what their ancestors could imagine. And this is all without even knowing that they are using magic!

Generation 5 has struggled with making the magic system work in the series. The baby dragon has magic that can do basically anything the plot needs it to. Same with the cutiemarks (the butt-tattoos) who suddenly have magic that means more than just a manifestation of a character's talent. The lantern the main character has suddenly can do anything if people get along around it and wish really hard. HOWEVER, one thing that makes sense with the magic and story, is that the unicorns unknowingly created a blizzard with an old tradition they forgot the meaning of. How many traditions do we continue to do without remembering every detail? A lot and a bunch of traditions have had their reasons change. 

So it makes total sense that the unicorns both kept their tradition, practiced it, and created uncontrollable weather. Rarity messed up in generation 4 with cold weather too, so it isn´t something pulled out of the blue! This does bring up the question about the pegasus magic though since now unicorns can canonically affect the weather so much with just a bazillion simple greetings in a day. And it also brings up the question if the ancient unicorns that used the spell known for snow, ever needed to think about how often they used it or if the spell was so weak at the time that it didn´t matter.

Love Potions in Harry Potter

Oh yes I am indeed breaching this subject right here right now. Why? Because I now remember a comment I saw on Reddit about its use as a Date-Rape drug and how it isn´t that bad. I of course disagreed and it bothered me how someone thinks love potions is okay because the person is “in love” when it is used. That they wouldn´t be bothered by the use of a love potion after it is out of their system.

The love potions in Harry Potter are of variating potencies but the few instances it has been mentioned or used I still can not find it funny or excusable to use. Let us put it into perspective. 

Person 1 is sad/angry that the person they like doesn´t see them the way they want to be perceived. Person 1 then makes a consumable to feed Person 2 to force them to see Person 1 in the light they want them to. Person 2 had no chance to say no and gets feeling of infatuation for Person 1. Person 1 of course takes their chance and does whatever they want with Person 2. Person 2 eventually gets the consumable out of their system and remembers how they had no say in any of the whole ordeal and wasn´t even able to say “No” due to the consumable. Person 2 then is stuck with a weird situation with Person 1 where they remember strong feelings of “love” but also doesn´t really care for the person and might even be horrified of them. Nobody really takes Person 2 and/or their feelings seriously.

Did you notice how messed up that story is? Well change the word “consumable” with “love potion” and now it is suddenly okay in the wizarding world. Oh wait, how do we even know it wasnt okay from the beginning.

You can´t tell me that the use of a love potion can´t scar a person for life! Tom Riddle Senior was “in love” for ages and he panicked and left when he realized that he had been taken advantage of and forced into a relationship by someone who can´t accept a “No”. You can´t tell me he wont be negatively affected by knowing that his feelings didn´t matter to Merope Gaunt and that he was forced into parent hood. His experience with making Tom Jr. might be drowned with false happiness but he still knows what happened. He had every right to run away from his “responsibilities”. 

Poor Ron was under the potion and suddenly was “in love” with a girl named Romilda Vane. Romilda was willing to force somebody to “love” her. I dread to think about what she was planning. Would she have used it as a date-rape drug on Harry (who she initially wanted to use the potion on with chocolates) or would she have used it to get a boyfriend that had no say if he wanted to break up or not?

How is this type of potion not illegal in the British wizarding world yet? Why is only Hogwarts taking other peoples feelings into consideration? Why does Weasley´s Wizard Wheezes even sell them disguised as perfume or cough potions? Unless they are active for about 5 minutes or less I dont see how they can be used as a humane pranking item. The imperious curse is illegal because it forces the weilder´s will upon them, the love potion does the same thing but it lasts for 24 hours unless an antidote is given or the victim freaking dies. 

How is the love potion okay?

My little pet peeve

I have a tiny pet peeve and it is a pretty... useless one to have. It doesn´t really matter but hey, I have still decided to write it. You know what? Now I remember another little pet peeve.

My first pet peeve is the movies takes on the Hogwarts uniform. My second pet peeve is when fanfiction writers make it so that the electives are active in first year where there is no explanation as to why. You are free to disagree =)

The Hogwarts uniform is describes as this on the letter Harry gets in the first book:  

“Uniform First-year students will require: 1. Three sets of plain work robes (black) 2. One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear 3. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar) 4. One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings) Please note that all student's clothes should carry name tags at all times” -First year shopping list from Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone

There is no separation between male and females in the uniform other than adjustments that might be made so that the kids can fit in them. I liked that so much because it showed one thing the magical world was ahead of muggles with. No skirts forced upon students nor any pants being forces either unless they want to wear either under their robes. The whole uniform is plain and as it names suggest, gives the student body a uniformed look. It is doing its freaking job as a uniform. 

My other little pet peeve is when fanfiction writers just changes the curriculum without an explanation. Suddenly the 11-year-old children are sitting in divination class when they cannonly dont get to sign up for it before the end of second year. It makes sense that fanfiction writers take creative liberties, I LOVE that and do it myself, but I explain why it is that way. Like, “Oh we used to have these subject for the third years and up only but realized younger students probably also could learn this earlier.” Just a small pet peeve but for some reason it makes me flinch. Sure I still continue to read the fanfiction but I prefer it all to make sense or be explained. Then again I love diving deep into every little minuscule thing that nobody else cares about.

Gryffindor Tower; Sleeping arrangements

Written the 12th of February 2021

Hi, it is me again. This post is not a theory, but rather about an observation. An observation about the minimal safety precautions taken for the young boys in Gryffindor Tower.

We all know that within the Gryffindor Tower, there is a sleeping arrangements where females sleep in dorms with females, and males sleep in dorms with males. The typical segregation to avoid sexual harassment between the two genders. 

This is where I see a major difference in safety precautions. The female dorms of Gryffindor are protected. Protected from males, because the Founders of Hogwarts believed girls to be more trustworthy than boys. In the time period the Founders made Hogwarts, I will not fault them for blatant sexism. However, even after all these years of Hogwarts being a school, nothing has changed. 

The female dormitory has a spiral staircase up to the dorms, same as the males. However, if a male were to walk a few persistent steps up that staircase, it turns into a stone slide. A neat charm where injuries probably wont be that bad unless the male lands badly or hits his head. 

The male dormitory has no protection at all besides wooden doors. Favoritism. There is nothing at all protecting the males from people like Hermione Granger to just waltz in. This could lead to awkward or really bad encounters since it breaks privacy. A possessed Ginny Weasley could just walk in and destroy a whole dormitory. 

The staircase slide protects females from possible perverted males but this is teenagers. Females are perverted as well. The kind of intimacy the Founders thought about isn´t just one-sided, it takes two to tango, and its not just males who gets things started.

Love potions have been smuggled in by students, since it is banned at Hogwarts, and been used! They all have wands! This is armed teens who can force themselves upon someone with no staircase in the way if they are female!

Hogwarts was built in the late Early Middle Ages and no privacy measures have been added to the male dormitory. Any person can go into those dorms if they so wish, as long as they have the password to get into Gryffindor Tower. ANYBODY. If Ronald Weasley was a female and slept in the female dormitories Sirius Black would not have gotten into the dormitory unless he did some parkour.

Thank you for reading my rant. I just never see anybody mention anything about the blatant gender inequality and lack of safety.

Vintage Celestino is…

FABIO!!! on Ice!

I CAN’T JUST UNSEE THIS NOW, OKAY?!

Soo “Inexplicable 80s Celestino” and/or “Fabio!!! on Ice” is from JJ’s flashbacks of coaches past who didn’t dig my king’s style (Ep. 12).

But what I really need to know is this: Was it my precious, beloved Katsudon or the sunshine of my heart, Phichit, who convinced Celestino that this was not the look for him? 🤔 My money’s on Phichit.

**Disclaimer: I’m a 90s Kid, but I def still remember the one and only Fabio. 😂

[pimentinhamyth]

How can I ever unsee- Fabio? I will now shout “Fabio!” when I see Celestino in the series.

Game Theory, Minecraft: Villagers and Iron golems

Matpat from “Game Theory” on Youtube recently (26th of september 2020) made a video about the Iron Golems being made by the ancient builders to protect the villages. That the builders and villagers were one and the same before they got split, one group content with putting down their weapons and let the Iron Golems protect them, and the others striving for more. 

That sparked a question in me and some others in the comment section of the video. “Why do the Iron Golems attack us then if they were supposed to protect our ancestors and villagers?” The Iron Golems only attack if you hit them, or the villagers. They protect from hostile mobs and you get put on that list until you die if you cause the slightest direct harm. 

I came to a theory. We dont know how long it was between this ancient group of people went off and away from the villages they built up with what we now call villagers. They devided themselves from their pacifist “families/fellow species” Matpat thinks the builders (the players ancestors) went to the nether and created their own bane of existence, The Wither. He also theorized that the pigmen were test pigs for the portal to the nether in the beginning. Pigs that mutated enough from the Nether to become humanoid and USE weapons in the end. 

Thanks to this I belive the Iron Golems attack you is because the change that might have happened between the Nether and the End. The people who before were the same as the villagers had not just become different from choosing to continue building, but GENETICALLY. The Iron Golems always knows when a villager is getting attacked, like telekenisis, but not when YOU are getting hurt. You and the pacifist villagers arent the same anymore. Whatever is alerting an Iron Golem of an attacked villager doesnt get activated when you get attacked. 

Another thing I noticed is that they compleatly ignore you until you hurt a villager or them. They must have been programmed to not attack traders, wich means that trade was usual in their time of build. It also brings light to the Wandering Traders. They don´t protect the Traders. Normal villagers never go outside the village “borders” but the Wandering Trader walks all over the Overworld and has two llamas. Who else travels and tames animals other than cats, YOU. Is the Wandering Trader the result of people who never became Builders like what you are, or Villagers? The Iron Golems attack Pillagers so there must be some sort of special programming here. The Pillagers must have happened around the same time as the Builders left for the End or the Nether. They are recognized as a threat.

I have come to the conclution that Villagers and the Builders WERE the same, but arent now because of evolution. Similar to how IRL wolves and dogs, or donkeys and horses.

Ereri; Why I ship it, but still get disturbed by the fanart and fanfics (Part 2)

This is the second part of why I ship Ereri, and how I “justify” it. This is more as a continuation of the one I had, clearifying lose ends so to speak. Now that think about it this one would cover Eruriren too.

Let´s shed light on WHO the Eren and Levi are in the fanfics and fanarts. Like I said in part 1, the Eren in the fanfics and fanarts is more mature. The way I see it is that the character is a cup of coffee. Canon Eren is a simple coffee. The Eren in the fanfics and so on, is a Latte or a Caffè Mocca. It is the same BASE, but not the same drink. The things WE (the fans) ad, change the drink.

I am not here to say that every piece of fanfiction or fanart is acceptable. Since it isnt. Quite a few creations are super inappropriate in more ways than one, but that is because it was written by a human. All humans have different views and moral barriers, so to put ALL Ereri shippers under the label of “Pedophiles” “Sickos” or other insulting lables, is being hypocritical or narrow minded.

The Eren and Levi in our fanficitons are not real, and probably never will be since it is such a risky ship. But it also makes us wonder what else we might overlook or not think about. Like the Bella Swan x Edward Cullen ship. A CANNON ship. 

A vampire in the body of a 17 year old teenager. Born in 1901, and married to a teenager in 2006..., and he wasnt even MENTALLY frozen in time.

I shouldn´t judge. I don´t always see the romance in things since I can sometimes focus on the more logical side of things if it gets too romantic. Like the Severus Snape x Harry Potter ship. I am kinda okay with that ship unless its about Harrys EYES, beacause honestly... it would be a strange convo, “I got attracted to you becuase your eyes are so similar to my late best-friend-who-friend-zoned-me” I am however sure that there are many good fanfics of that ship, like with almost all ships.

A Minecraft Theory; Are we players, clones?

I watch Game Theory and have for a while, and sometimes I get my own theories that just wont come out of my head. This is one of them.

It just fell on me today, that we as a player in Minecraft just seem to KNOW the crafting recipes for some pretty strange stuff. Our character just spawns out in the middle of nowhere with no other creatures of its own kind, the closest being zombies who look like Steve. 

Villagers and Pillagers doesnt look to be the same species as the one the player is, they have other charecteristics and another language. They dont build like the player, they have simple homes and simple farms, they dont have the strength and speed the player does. That means we are a different species right? Maybe cousins on the tree of species?

Matpat at Game Theory theorized that there was an ancient civilizations of builders (similar to the player) that created The Wither in the Neather, and later fled to The End and got stuck there after building fortresses underground in the Overworld. 

They were fleeing something, but putting all the eggs in one basket and ALL jump into the End Portal sounds dumb. So maybe WE the player, was their backup plan? A thing, creature, or descendant that would reawaken when the time was right, to be their backup plan if things went badly. 

Maybe we, the player is a type of clone? We can build, we are fast, we are strong, we dont look like Villagers or Pillagers, we have recipes for things we have never seen before just popping into our head. We also have a MODE that allows us flight (Creative Mode). Are we machines that has health and hunger? We can just respawn, something no other creature can do at the level the player can. The closest thing to spawning something out of “nothing” are spawners. 

So what are we, the player? Are we advanced machines? Are we someone from anchient times revived? Are we clones from the past? Are we the creation of a god/gods? Did the Ender Dragon just get bored and by some strange power made us? Was it STEVE? 

Who knows.

Main Character OC-s, why I hate them in general, in fanfics

OC, Original Character. You know what that means? An ORIGINAL character. It means a person who stays consistent unless something happens in the fanfic that tips the scale. 

I don´t really like OC-s, they either become super powerful, or are made so weak that it is painful to read. They are usually also put in as a main character, one of the things that immidiatly makes me negativly biased on a fanfic. (Another thing that makes me negativly biased is the “What if” start on the summaries of stories, like be a bit more creative, it is a three line summary!)

The main character OC-s either compleatly or 75-80% replace the original main/important character from the canon storyline. Like in a HP-fanfic where Harry all of the sudden is a powerful girl who doesnt behave like normal Harry, and conquer the Ministry of Magic within ONE year since she is so smart. And it isnt even a Crack-fic-taken-seriously or a comedy. OR one where Harry never existed, but the totally average (and or exeptional) Daisy is in his place as either a child from the cupboard, or the one bearing the Potter name but lived in a mansion.

The overpowered (OP) characters that bare the name of an OC is just overflowing and painful to read. It is no wonder it gets hard to explain that you read fanfiction when the OP OC-s are one of the first things ever. The only OP character allowed is Saitama from the One Punch Man fandom.

If the main character is someone who isnt even close to the one the canon had, it is an OC, even if it is supposed to be the same person. Even worse is when they (the writer) are literally just putting a more epic version of themselves (or just their OC-s) in the place and acts like it was normal, but still spends 75% of chapter 1 and 2 explaining why or how but in a “and so that happened” matter.

Here I mentioned some of the reasons, but I must admit that there are some OC-s out there who are good, but they are usually not the new main character. An exeption is !TitanEren since it/he is an OC (and important) but is based off something canon and not compleatly original.

Ereri; Why I ship it, but still get disturbed by the fanart and fanfics (Part 1)

As you might know, the ship Ereri is the term of when someone likes the thought of Eren Jaeger and Levi Ackerman being in a relationship. These characters are from the anime Attack on Titan. I ship Ereri, but I must admit that a lot of the content surrounding this fan-based ship can be disturbing. I don't like that since it puts all the Ereri-shippers in a bad light. 

I have seen a couple of comments all over the internet. Let's be serious, it's not just a little. Some of these comments hurt, because some of my fellow Ereri-shippers respond in a way that puts the rest in a bad light.

“Ereri is hinting that you are okay with pedophilia” I understand where this claim comes from, though I do not agree. I ship Ereri, even though I doubt it would ever happen. The part of the Ereri I ship is the feelings involved, not the sexual part (since I identify as a Grey-asexual but that is irrelevant). I personally like the fanfics/art where the erotic part isn't the focus of it all, but rather as an extra to show the love already established. Some might point a finger at me and say that I am then okay with pedophilia, but no, I am not. 

It is like claiming that someone who likes crime books wants to do what they are reading. Or that AoT fans secretly want to copy Eren´s actions and would be totally okay with genocide IRL. That is a claim made by people who only self-insert when they read or watch something and thus think everyone does it in their fanfiction.

Then the Eren from the canon story (the one that is 15 years old) is clearly not mentally old enough to be erotically with Levi. Or anyone really. At best, they could be a pair, but not much further than the romantic part. However, Eren in the fanfics, the ones the fan themselves created, are usually more mentally mature (and OC tbh). That is a major part of this. I ship the Ereri where they can understand what they are signing up for if they go erotic. I ship Ereri where there is love and no toxicity or grooming behavior, but rather two people who found someone they love.

Another thing I want to shed light on is to stop calling random online people “Pedophiles” that is thrown around without thinking. There are real pedophiles out there and it is not a word to be used lightly for several reasons. Do not use that word as an insult unless you have actual proof, the knowledge of what it means IRL, and a good reason other than to hate on someone's ship. Should go without saying but here we are. 

Finally. All ships (canon or not) have disturbing sides, some have 60% creepy fics and art, but one can not hate on a ship so brutally without thinking. I find several ships uncomfortable, but I at least do my research and indulge before setting a steadfast opinion. And I certainly try my best to not assume really bad things about people because of a fictional ship. Since that would be 1: hypocritical of me, and 2: narrow-minded.

This was part 1.
