i think they should have rouge in sonic 3 but she still works for gun. with the whole “people work for gun and research aliens” thing have them reveal that actually they just liked one and were like yeah we can hire her as a spy. this is revealed towards the end of the movie like in sa2, and half the characters (mostly other gun agents) had no idea she even worked for them and are like “what the fuck is this organisations hierarchy how many top secret furries does this org have”. every subsequent character introduced to the scu has some sort of gun connection, mostly either working for them or trying to be recruited for various purposes. they see amy wielding her big ass hammer and assume she has some sort of innate power that can be harnessed like knuckles and they use her polite and slightly naive disposition to lure her in. once it becomes clear they wanna do experiments on her she kicks their asses and during the ensuing fight someone manages to pluck one of her quills and discovers it has no energy and is just a regular ass quill. amy is deeply offended and confused by them ruining her hair. the last remaining conscious gun agent pleads with horror: “how are you this strong?” and she says “you ever heard of the gym???” and knocks him out cold. later down the line team chaotix get hired as a top secret investigative task force. the plot hinges on gun assuming they’re special in some way that makes their work more effective than human agents, mostly because vector oversold them in an effort to land a gig because rent was due, however the audience is clearly shown all of their successes over regular gun agents have been pure coincidences. once it becomes clear they’re not all that special or more effective, gun is like “do you guys not have any superpowers ?? special abilities ?? exceptional skills ??”. “i’m literally a ninja?” espio says, not knowing what more they could want. “one in five cases comes with a discount..?” vector tries. “i know how to tax evade” charmy helpfully provides.

anon you're hired

half-foots are often mistaken for young tallmen or dwarves by people who don’t know about them.

But Chilchuck is like the 6’5” of half-foots. I wonder if he’s not even immune to that in half-foot communities. Like imagine you’re at the market and you see the tallest guy you ever saw. Like “holy shit he’s tall” tall. He’s a head taller than everyone else. APPARENTLY half-foots and tallmen can have fertile children. People probably constantly ask him if he’s half-tallman or half-dwarf. Maybe not dwarf cause he’s so skinny.

Chilchuck is also a middle child of 5 siblings. I wonder if his whole family is like that or if he’s just token beanpole. Man, the whiplash he must’ve felt the first time he went to a more diverse area and everyone started calling him small. no wonder he drinks

Why I think ChuChu is used as a distraction and a metaphor/why I think people need to view Utena in the same way they view Surrealist paintings

Something that I don’t think enough people understand about Utena Revolutionary girl, is that ever frame is meant to be viewed under a classical art eye.

This simple still, a lot of people will discount it. Think that it’s not important to Utena’s Character. This is a moment in which Utena is doubting herself, and the show is trying to purposely distract your attention to ChuChu, all to throw off your perception of Utena as a character. This universe doesn’t want you to view Utena as anything other than a justified, righteous Prince. At least for now. The show itself wants to devalue Utena’s doubt in herself, in favor of projecting her security in herself. And you might say, “Hey that’s crazy talk!” But that’s the thing, this show tried to distract you on purpose multiple time. All in an effort to trick your perception, in the same way that the characters perceptions are being tricked.

ChuChu is seen as a joke character, yet he shows very early on that there was something abnormal with this specific dress. The packets he’s holding are humidity/moister absorption packets. It is a visual premonition of what is yet to come, as Anthy’s dress dissolves from moisture. Yet the show is purposefully trying to make the viewer feel as though it’s unimportant because it’s the “mascot” “pet” figure.

This scene as well, ChuChu is not only used as a physical barrier, but a mental barrier. Even though this scene is very serious, showing Utena and her toxic counterpart when they first meet. These characters are meant to be foils of each other, showing not only the worst parts of Utena’s character, but also how she differs from what she could be. And how her choices could lead her to a similar fate. Utena is still climbing upwards, while her counterpart has reached the precipice of what he can be. She is free to continue moving forward, while he is stuck. And yet, the scene is still trying to distract you with the silliness of ChuChu, almost as if to relieve some of the tension.

As the show goes on, it uses ChuChu as less of a distraction tool, and leans more into what ChuChu represents conceptually. Utena, in this moment, is projecting onto ChuChu. She is worried about what Anthy is doing, but doesn’t want or know how to admit it. So Utena projects those fears onto ChuChu, who is this moment being used as a vehicle for Utena’s internal feelings.

But anyways, this is the kind of stuff I feel like people miss when they watch Utena, because of how they are viewing it. People judge it off of anime standards, when really it should be judged and interpreted as a piece of surrealist artwork. Look at the camera view, the positioning of stills, the distance and stance of characters. It is much more complex than most give it credit for.

i don’t think mordecai and rigby were ever gay for each other but i do think many times rigby would be like dude if i was a girl would you want to fuck me and mordecai is like dude that’s weird. no. and rigby is all bent out of shape about it and in the middle of the night when they’re both trying to sleep he’s like why wouldn’t you fuck me if i was a girl. i’m cute right? or am i ugly and that’s why i’m single… and mordecai is like fine whatever i’d fuck girl you. stop bringing it up now. & the next day rigby is like fuck off muscle man i’m not ugly mordecai said he’d fuck girl me & then a portal opens to an alternate dimension where they’re genderbent like that adventure time episode and the voice of god is like mordecai you must make good on your word. fuck girl rigby.

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?

Take a 2 minute break and read this:

Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

1. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

2. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment

3. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

4. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
