#Contrast Effect

Neither does he

"Trumpian" is rooted in Anchoring Bias—where the initial offer shapes the negotiation. Start high, alter perceived value, and manufacture concessions. It’s the ‘art of the deal’—transactional politics, seen as pragmatic by some.

‘Trumpian’… a new word for your lexicon. If you took my advice and have read The Donald’s book, Art of the Deal, you’ll know immediately what it means.  It boils down to Anchoring Bias; the first number put on the table (the ‘anchor’) heavily influences the rest of the negotiation. If you start high, it shifts the perceived value in your favour, making any concession seem like a reasonable…

Since you seem pretty interested in shockwave/senator shockwave I wanted to ask your opinion on something I came up with; where someone manages to reverse what empurita did to shockwave; giving him his emotions and empathy back (and a face and hand)

Oh man I think about this kind of scenario every friday haha

I looooove looking at any version of Shockwave and imagining what was he like before the Empurata. (Yes I know that only IDW Shockwave was empurated. I don’t care It’s my headcanon) and what would he be like if that Empurata got suddenly reversed.

I think my favourite version so far is “Fall of Cybertron” Shockwave. Because you don’t even need to try that hard to see what kind of personality would he have without Empurata. The unbelievable amount OFF SASS is right HERE.

Kinda obsessed with the historical context of Rise of the Guardians. Pitch wanting the Dark Ages to come back, which historically was the decline of culture and records. The Guardians rose at the same time as the Renaissance with the rise of culture, knowledge, and science. (Tooth in particular mentions that she hasn’t been out in the field for 440 years, give or take, which would put that smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance) 

The way Pitch doesn’t want the world to change, the way the Guardians change in tune with the world. The way Jack, who lived in has a human in the 17th or 18th century, who lived in the time after the Renaissance and lived witnessing the world all the way to the modern era, is there to show the Guardians how much they missed and how they can further change and improve for the more modern world. These characters are immortal beings who have so much power over the world, it makes so much sense that when they fall and rise in power it impacts the world that they want to influence, for better or for worse.

Can we talk about how fun of a choice it is for the Dark World to be made out of none but stone, iron, and ash??? All these major fire-related symbols in a world that seems to have burnt through itself, now covered in only the ashes of life, humanity, and hope. I love it.
