HOT SASRH TAKE

So me and my friend @eoinmcgonigal were talking about how Eoin would act if he survived the jump (now we’re not talking like immediately being found but after and when I said we were talkin it was me screaming at them, poor them💔)

ANWAY IT ALL STARTED WITH THIS PHOTO

Now since my brain does not know happiness it immediately thought of Eoin and Paddy. Eoin loves Paddy, he does, however you cannot convince me that after the jump he was not angry or hurt by paddys actions. Paddy is a man who literally ruined his deployment to Burma due to an insult, was arrested by military police, spat in the face of cowards and authority. However, as seen before the one thing Eoin hates about Paddy is his lack of grasping the concept of consequences. Their fates were sealed when Paddy fucked up their deployment. So now you are in Eoins POV yea, you’ve just survived a suicide mission while most men haven’t, Paddy, stirling and jock knew it was a suicide mission and still did it. So Paddy a man who defys orders to stick up for what he believes is right has allowed this jump to go. Meaning he believes it to be right or he just wants to feel like useful and productive. He knew the risks but still took them even if it meant Eoins life being in danger. Paddy doesn’t have touch of reality and in his reality, eoin does not exist. Well it does but it’s more of a fantasy Eoin. Like he doesn’t realise that Eoin is an actual person who can get hurt and shit. So now tell me.

IF YOU WERE EOIN WOULD U NOT BE ANGRY AT PADDY??

i would.

Here is a little analysis that I have made while watching reactions to selfishness vs selflessness.

The whole video was not about Janus trying to prove that Thomas wasn’t a bad person (like he says at the end of the video), he was trying to help Roman.

Janus is not only Deceit, but also Self-Preservation.

Self-preservation is an internal instinct to protect and keep the individual safe from any harm. I don’t believe that Janus is just Thomas’s self-preservation, but all the other sides as well.

Janus makes sure that Logan is aware of his job by asking what he represents. Logic. Logan also elaborates later that he controls Thomas’s right arm and is the core operations for Thomas’s language center.

Then when it’s Virgil’s time he does the same and gets cut off by Virgil.

Then Virgil asks why he’s doing that and that he should cut to the chase.

This caught me off guard because I too was confused on why Janus felt the need to do this if he knows who they all are. He even does it with Roman when he asks “Isn’t it your sworn duty to help Thomas achieve his hopes and dreams?”

I think he does this so that the sides can assure that they are doing they’re job. Logan is being logical, Virgil is Thomas’s fear about this situation and Roman is helping Thomas achieve what’s best for him.

Now that that is settled, that Janus is Self-preservation to the rest of the sides, this is where the main theory comes in. This whole thing has been about Thomas doing what is best for him, which Patton believes to be wrong. Think bout it.

Patton is saying that Roman’s job is wrong. Roman is the ego. He is Thomas’s dreams and desires and Thomas wants to go to the callback and be ‘selfish’, because he is picking himself over his friends important day.

There is a moment where Janus talks about egoism, to which Patton responds with “That’s wrong!” And you can see Janus look at Roman as he talks in the scene.

Janus is referring to Roman in this part, but Patton just sees Janus being this bad side who wants Thomas to be a bad guy, unaware that it’s also effecting Roman, see how Roman looks intriguingly at Janus and listening to what he has to say.

Patton is being the selfish one.

Why do you think Janus put Roman as the judge? Because this truly is Roman’s dilemme. He has to chose between what HE thinks is right vs what HE truly wants...and that is the most difficult thing to pick, but in the end he disobeyed his own ego and went to the wedding which we know now hurt Thomas and led to Roman’s outburst.

PS: This hurts more after the events of SVSRedux, because Janus was just trying to help Roman, but Patton was making Roman’s job and duty seem like something an evil person would do and act like, which we know really hurts Roman.

(Idk if this makes sense but I really wanted to get my opinion out there.)

THE CORRIDOR: FIELD TRIP

Phatthalung is one of the southern provinces of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are Nakhon Si Thammarat, Songkhla, Satun, and Trang.

The purpose of the trip in this rainforest was to enjoy and learn how to respect  nature while doing some scientific pin up about the site.  These are my personal research and learnings from the forest.

Okay so really quick first impression of the video.

First of all, WOW! Totally insane video, and aesthetically beautiful. I loved it❤️❤️❤️

After watching a second time. The impression I get is that the “old Taylor” or “Nils Sjöbot” (See Joseph Kahn’s earlier tweet) is the one dressed in all black. She is testing this new Taylor to see if she is strong enough to break out, and after she takes all the lighting she breaks free of the confining box. Then the old Taylor is DEAD! It also seemed like this might just be the beginning of a story line or theme across more upcoming music videos. What did you guys think?!!

@taylorswift Am I close?!!

This week, The Lancet publishes the first analysis showing which countries are progressing toward these goals and which are struggling. Some countries performed substantially better against the Sustainable Development Goals than predicted.

What bugs me about Marvin Redpost, “Kidnapped at Birth?” book.

Throughout the book it’s pretty damn chilling how likely it is that Marvin Redpost could be the long lost son of a king. However, there is one damning piece of evidence, or so the author thought, would render him being of noble blood completely impossible: Marvin brings up how he and the king don’t share the same accent, so how can they be father and son if they don’t sound the same? Everyone else in the book regards this as pure fact and leaves it at that, disregarding other evidence, like the fact he had a royal bloodtype and shit. ACCENTS ARE NOT INHERITED. I mean, if that were true, there’d be so many different accents in the USA because we all came from somewhere and we’d each have our country-of-origins’ accents! Since the king’s son was a newborn when he was kidnapped and taken to a different country, so of course he’d sound different than his father.

In all honesty I believe Marvin Redpost COULD be the king’s son, and I am frankly surprised they didn’t do any blood testing with his own parents first to make sure he’s theirs.

Pokemon Analysis #1: Chatot

Requested by: Plumfsh

Chatot is an interesting pokemon, even though it had a rocky beginning when it started. The reason being was it's signature move, Chatter, that stirred up some controversy. It wasn't the power that was the problem, (though 65 isn’t all that strong) but the mechanic behind its confusion rate. You could record anything into the ds's mic to affect Chatter's confusion rating, as it plays the recording when it attacks. However, said controversy is no longer an issue, as it no longer allows recording for Chatter. The trade off? Chatter now 100% confuses its enemy; and that makes it so much more useful.

First let's break down Chatot with its base stat spread and abilities: Hp: 76 Atk: 65 Def: 45 Sat: 92 Sdf: 42 Spe: 91

So this stat spread isn't gonna take home a lot of gold, but there's at least some potential I can see here. It won't be able to take a hit that well, but it's not meant to; it's a parrot, not a bird of prey. But like many birds, it is capable of hitting hard and fast.

Abilities: Keen Eye - acc can't be lowere, also ignores evasion gains Tangled feet - Evasion increases by 20% while confused (HA) Big Pecks - Def can't be lowered

The abilities here don't really seem all that appealing, but you gotta work with what you got.

Noteworthy moves Chatot can learn: Boomburst Hyper voice Uproar Chatter encore defog Nasty plot Taunt Heatwave

A thing to mention about these moves: all of these bypass substitute.

From this, Chatot would have an edge against those that either like to hide behind a substitute, or like to set up like through minimize, curse, or bulk up

Boomburst, Hyper Voice, or Uproar?

This is mostly preference on the format, or which you value more in battle.

Boomburst is upfront the strongest attack at Chatot's disposal with 140 pwr; only 3 other pokemon get it, And chatot can hurt the most with it, thanks to nasty plot. (The other three are: Noivern, Exploud, and Swellow)

However, if you are using Chatot in a doubles format, Boomburst is essentially Earthquake, in that it hurts it's ally too.

Hyper Voice is only 90 pwr, and hits both opponents; nothing too special, but at least your ally is unharmed.

Extra thing to note in doubles, attacks that hit multiple enemies deals only 75% of its damage. (this damage mitigation also applies to Boomburst)

Uproar is the same 90 pwr as Hyper Voice and locks chatot into using it for 3 turns, also no one can sleep while under this. This gives Uproar a clutch utility of no sleep, and since it hits a random opponent, the damage doesn't scale down. Maybe you just don't want the sleep threat against a dark void smeargle, spore, or even deny chesto-resto.

If you're thinking in doubles, you have a few options, otherwise in singles, Boomburst is a very strong choice.

Chatter may not be strong but always confusing really helps Encore has an effective lock down potential Defog clears screens and hazards, plus lowers evasion Nasty plot gives Chatot OHKO potential if it can get one or two off Taunt is taunt, it combos potentially well with encore Heat wave is a tutor move 95 pwr fire type, good coverage against steel types

So how I see Chatot is as a Saboteur type sweeper. It can lock down a setter and set up itself. You could either encore-taunt to force them to struggle/switch out, OR to encore-nasty plot to set up and take them out before the encore ends.

Now if you support Chatot with means to slow or stun the opponents pokemon to let it get set up, Chatot can cause immense damage or could even sweep an entire team.

OR you can have Chatot disrupt and annoy the opponents intentions with its own brand of support. Taunt, encore, uproar, defog can all disrupt many support strategies

There are a plethora of issues Chatot has to deal with, like priority, magic guard/bouce, higher speeds, or even soundproof. However, I still recommend giving a Chatot a try

For Natures, I would suggest either increased Satk or increased speed, depending on your preference, and EV train primarily speed and satk. Btw, in double battles, after a nasty plot and a life orb, chatot has about enough power with boomburst to down a Primal groudon, take from that what you will.

If I missed anything, Please let me know and I’ll either fix it or write up an addendum~
