serious talk for once. I need some advice. Ive been dating a trans girl for about a year now. I met her right about when she became trans, before dysphoria set in. She was fine for a couple months before her dysphoria developed. She went from a very happy, energetic person to depressed, paranoid, and self-hateful. The last 8 months I've tried to help her start transitioning (one thing to note is we are long distance. I'm American, she's Finnish) by looking up the laws of her country, how their systems work, etc. We tried Gendergp, but her parents found out and made her stop contacting the company. Her parents want her to go through the governmental program (which is a fucking shitshow on fire) and she tried once and got denied because she hadn't been openly trans for 2 or 3 years. She tried ordering stuff to DIY transition from a supplier I knew from a trans friend of mine. Once again, parents found out after she had just started transition for a couple days.
Those two days were the happiest she's ever been, but after she went back to depression and believing that she's ruining my life. It hurts me to see her like this, having her tell me that she doesnt deserve me. Her parents want her to wait a year to reapply to the government program, but even if she gets accepted, its another 2-4 years until she might get to transition.
While I don't like her parents, they do at least support her, in a way. She's trying to move out, but her dysphoria seeps into her entire life, where she doesnt have many irl friends, doesnt usually have the energy to go and try to apply for work, and she barely gets by with her university studies.
I love her, and I want her to be happy again, but my limited experience as a non-trans (cis?) person who has only helped other trans people in my life, isnt going to be enough for her. She's said she has no suicidal thoughts, but also has said I'm her reason to live, so I get really stressed because I dont know what to do anymore. She's hyperfixated on her body being the only way to be happy, which I understand as a big step, but she wont take the small steps like dressing feminine, try doing traditionally feminine things, etc. to at least potentially give her a little boost.
Out of everywhere, I guessed Tumblr was the best chance at getting some advice or help. I dont know how to move forward, but I need to, for her.
(she doesnt have tumblr, and I hope she doesnt see this, because she'll blame herself again)

UHM !! if it helps akbdksjs there's a japan server, which is best fr those near jp's timezone and fr the ping, but important to note many are japanese so the main english-based servers are in data center elemental! worlds tonberry and kujata are most populated im on kujata tho hehe! low level but yuh 😭
but hmm there is the north american server ! where most of the fun events happen ngl, but playerbase isn't as polite or nice as jp :0 majority is still nice? but bigger toxic population WKBSKD 😭😭 if you're starting out, i suggest not going to crystal dc? most rpers are there and it has a ... notorious reputation <//3 it's not bad tho tbh! but may be a bit too much fr someone new 💔💔💔 i'm on aether data center, faerie world! there's lots of good stuff abt joining na too? though limsa lominsa chat... ahem. close your eyes bb WKNADKJS 😨😨

ngl im slowly getting my irls to play ffxiv too WHAHDKANS getting 1 or 2 of my irl besties to play 😭🤚 and another irl who i talk to online has a brother who's now also trying to convince her to play ever since me n lune did WKANDKNS 😭😭
but uhm hi yes dont be afraid hehe I MEAN totally fine totally understandable it's seriously okay /gen but !! idk WEJBAKDS i think the feelings u'll get from the story and just the general joy from playing the game is 💪💪💪 but mayhaps that may just be me BUT then again the music is so good i have 500+ songs in my ffxiv playlist 😞 and the characters are really well written! most of them! but i think there arent even actually any characters to hate? the backstories are all vv good in my humble opinion akdjskdj 👉👈 though. someone in stormblood is... debatable :)) but NALJDSK i dont hate him either ngl 😭💔 he sux tho /srs </3

Cracks knuckles . I am doing badly so I will focus all my energy into making a large ramble about the ecology of lothal before bed bc people gave me the go ahead and I havent spent my college education learning this much about this stuff for nothin
So first and foremost
1. Lothal doesn't make sense like many sw planets . We maybe see 3 different types of biomes max which is strides more than most star wars planets. Lothal is probably a small planet but none of the organisms are affected by the lesser gravity even though it's commented on . I will mostly be ignoring this and going as much off of canon just for fun
2. From what I can tell most of lothal is based off of North American badlands and grass prairies and that's what I'll base a lot of my other assumptions on . I'm no geologist but I will maybe talk a bit about that w some help from a friend
So-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Most of lothal we can see these mountains in varying size - probably some kind of sandstone . It could be weathered by water or precipitation but I doubt lothal gets much precipitation for a few reasons ill get into later, so they are more likely weathered by wind . This makes sense that 1. We know these mountains are fucking OLD and have a lot of weathering , and 2. Lots of open Prairie w no trees means High winds . Irl badlands work in p much similar ways- a lot of it is a transition zone between mountains and different prairie types
The mountains obviously served as the home for ancient people who we dont.. really know anything about ? I'm not going to speculate too much beyond that they were not human bc we know they had a developed culture by the time ancient jedi arrived on lothal
Animals in the mountains would probably be pretty scarce - I like to imagine there's a fantasy bighorned sheep out there, w the weird little lothal brand feets, probably also domesticated by the people who used to live there to use for wool, meat, ect. Most of the animals and the people probably lived or had the ability to climb or fly up to the mountains due to the frequent low intensity fires that would occur In the ecosystem . Probably a few birds of prey and small mammals that could climb . Otherwise a majority of the animals would burrow into the mountains or underground . Plants are scarce , we don't see much grows on the mountains themselves . Maybe little water or wind formed crevaces could create a place for some lichen or small hardy leafy plants to love but besides that most the vegetation is on the ground
(Edit: forgot about loth bats - I'm not an expert on bats but from what we know they probably live in very high wind shaped crevaces on mountains and go out on the prairie at night to get food . Shrug)
And now .. the prairie.. there would be so many different grasses you dont fucking know. People in irl north American prairies spend years just learning the hundreds of different grasses , can you imagine how many there would be on a whole planet full of them? Domesticated wise there's definetly a good chunk of domesticated grains considering the planet isn't good for.. much else . Probably have a corn-like cereal with enlargened seeds bc high winds spreading around small seeds would be a nightmare . Probably a lot of local foods based on fermenting grains or alcohol (think like .. injera(fermented Flatbread) or soups like żurek (fermented rye soups) or just like . Any alcohol in general). Animals on the Prairie would just be small mammals out the wazoo. So many fucking prairie dogs n like voles n shit . We haven't seen what a loth rat looks like (to my knowledge) but it was probably a prairie animal that got into cities and started to rely on people . Also there's For Sure huge alien Buffalo and elk and probably caribou in the more snowier regions . Like what else are the loth wolves gonna eat?? Prairie probably gets a lot of small frequent fires which is why the mining guild having the high intensity fires in Rebels is . Bad. A lot of burrowing animals, a lot of birds that live in the mountains come here to hunt, and probably some burrowing owl like creatures bc they're cool . I'm no expert on animals so I won't get too in depth on it but . Waves hand
Thinking about regional variants is . Weird. We know there's a large snowy region near the poles but we have no clue how seasons work ?? And we really only see one large body of water . Northern areas probably more tundra based which like. Is my area of expertise I could go on about but I won't. Lots of lichen in the mountains, and probably actual shrubs and trees even tho we don't see them . Also probably a lot of saturated wetlands around the planet instead of more open rivers n ect , or at least a lot of coastal wetlands near the few water bodies they have . This is why they probably don't get a lot of precipitation and mostly ground fed waterbodies, like bogs. kinda losing the plot at this point but if u read this far im kissing u on the cheek and I might design some aminals in the next day or 2. Muah . This did help me feel better

Not rly st related, well maybe? 4th of July , but why are US-citizens so in love with their country? They even call themselves Americans when their nation is just one part of the continent, lol. If I were as obsessed with my country people would call me crazy. Oh and my granny is German and I know that many Germans are still scared to even wave their flag cos of past events, and the US isn't rly a nation of peace either. pls dont get me wrong, Im just curious and dont know any US people irl xD
I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on the matter, but I do have something of an interest in history.
I think the patriotic spirit of Americans is as much a practical matter as it is a symbolic one. In the early Colonial days, citizens were more likely to identify themselves by their colony (i.e. Pennsylvanian or Virginian). They were also still British citizens at the time, and, even during the Revolution, many still stayed loyal to the king. Creating a sense of patriotism and a unified front would be crucial in presenting a realistic challenge to the British Empire. One of the rally flags of the Revolution was the Join or Die flag. It was not a threat, but a warning. We had to band together to stand a chance.
Tumblr media
(For non-Americans, the colonies, as depicted from left to right, are South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England.)
It may seem weird to think about it now, but my country was very much the underdog in any conflicts until the early 20th century. Defeats came often, and were, at times, devastating. War support would be extremely difficult if not for the sense that we were one people with something to defend. It's Tribalism, for good or ill. It's the same phenomena that results in sports fans going crazy when their team loses (or wins!) or makes people jump up to defend family members they may not even like. Everyone wants to "belong" to something, and, here in America, we created a sense of belonging to a country.
I'll admit that the American sense of patriotism came as a result of the cultivation of an "us vs them" attitude. The easiest way to get even a more modest US citizen to start waving a flag is for a foreign individual or state to insult our nation or culture.
The love of country still has a pragmatic component today, though. We have always been a nation of mixed cultures and ethnicities (even though some of them had no say in the matter), but that is true even more so today. Having a strong national identity and pride helps bring these different cultures together. While we still have no shortage of backwards, bigoted people, most of us welcome new additions to our culture.
Sadly, this concept of a unifying identity has been repeatedly challenged. One group or another would be deemed as "Un-American" or inferior, often by the more conservative among us. I imagine America's history of racial abuse and discrimination is known outside of my country. There's also the horrible crimes committed against the Native Americans and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War 2. Socialists, or, indeed, any simply suspected of socialist sympathies, were often persecuted during the Cold War. The new millennium saw rising hostilities against Arab-Americans. This too also contributed to the American sense of patriotism, as these groups would sometimes go to great lengths to express that their political opinions or cultural backgrounds didn't diminish their love of country.
When it comes down to it, though, our patriotism and Fourth of July celebrations draws on that original underdog element. While I doubt anyone would call America the underdog anymore, we were still a country that probably never should have existed. By all rights, we had no business defeating the British in the Revolution. We somehow repelled a British invasion in 1812 (that we provoked, but still). The Union struggled massively early on in the Civil War in 1861 and came pretty close to having to deal with the British allying with the rebellious Confederacy. We are proud to be Americans for, if nothing else, simply managing to have the chance to be Americans.
We have no shortage of sin. Anyone who says otherwise is nationalistic, not patriotic. One of our greatest cultural values is the freedom to criticize our government, but the more extreme of us tend to forget that. Our military and political power also tends to result in being too willing to get into conflicts, often without a plan as to how to get out. We can often now be the snobs looking down our noses at the rest of the world. We're the ones fighting against the underdogs, at times suffering humiliating defeats. I personally feel we need to be humbled, at times, though.
Being such a diverse culture also means that sometimes the "wrong people" get power. Internal strife can become great, as disagreements as to how to run the country escalate and permeate every corner of the country. It often brings family member against family member, neighbor against neighbor, colleague against colleague, friend against friend. These celebrations are also a means to remind us, when things cool down, that we are still one.
At the end of the day, the same values and freedoms that we celebrate with our patriotism bring about the need for the patriotism. It's something of an oddly paradoxical cycle. Without the unifying sense of being of one country, the freedom to dissent, the freedom to express your religion or culture, and the freedom to express your individuality could all result in America and its culture breaking apart into separate entities. Oddly enough, it's these freedoms that ultimately bind us together, even if we each secretly feel that our neighbors are morons who have it all wrong.
As for why we call ourselves Americans, well, we simply don't have better options. The official name of the country is the United States of America. We wouldn't call ourselves United Staters, as that part of the country simply indicates that we're comprised of (currently 50) partially autonomous states. We'd more likely go back to calling ourselves by our individual states. For example, I'd identity myself as a Pennsylvanian. As far as I'm aware, people don't celebrate their individual state quite as much, with possibly the exception of Texans. The America part is the common element that binds us, so we become Americans.
I have heard of the German reluctance to express a sense of national pride like we do here. I can certainly understand that reluctance after what happened with the Holocaust. I think it's important to remember where you were. I fear my country sometimes tries to ignore the darker parts of our own history. I think our patriotic spirit remains because we like to believe we've grown past those events. In some ways we have, but I fear we often look the other way when it comes to remnants of those events. I admire Germany's refusal to forget what's happened, though I do think you might be punishing yourselves a bit too much.
For the record, I think we often overdo it with the patriotism. I don't agree, for example, with having kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance in school. I'm not sure how seriously most parents or kids take it anymore, though. It's mostly just become routine by now. I also don't buy into the whole "America First" garbage. Yes, our government has a responsibility to look out for our interests, but it shouldn't come at the expense of the needs and well-being of other countries.
I hope this somewhat answers your questions. I imagine I may have some errors with my facts or interpretations. Like I said, I'm no historian. This is simply my understanding of the matter.

Long post ahead, but i have been seriously wondering, what makes a fallout game a fallout game. Theres so many back and forth critisism about what makes fallout...fallout, and how bethesdas fallouts are still fallout because even the original fallout 1 &2 didnt have any set standers
I know bethesda didnt like, think anything about it except “guy dressed up as hancock would be fun” and “piecing together bostons historical significance into the narrative is fun” yet like hancock talking about how hard he worked to be mayor and slavery bad but hes inspired to dress as a guy who inherited all his wealth and inherited slaves just fucking gets to me sometimes
The king in fnv is basically the fnv equivalent, but the difference is that elvis is a pop culture icon and everyone knows that irl. elvis impersonation is a pop culture phenomenon that many people know of. But the kings have no idea who elvis is, and the fun part is that they idolize this guy because they think prewar people basically worshipped him since there was so much memorabilia without knowing. Hancock knows who john hancock is, or at least like...implies he knows? But doesnt seem to know past what it sounds like he maybe read from the museum plaque (im guessing). Its about the symbolism...i guess no, he doesnt need to know the whole truth about american history to wear a coat and inspire goodneighor residents or whatever he does.
But it all feels just a little ironic in the end, this idol...of the idealization of a historical figure, having his beliefs around the motto “of the people for the people” but like...i just dont think its supposed to ironic. Its supposed to be fun and lighthearted but thats what makes me kinda sad about his character, is he could have been so much more, he couldve been a really meaningful and impactful character. He couldve had actual purpose in the narrative about how we americans see our history, and how we should address it. But his character just is cycling the same view we already have as a country, we idealize history to fit our own narrative comfortably so we can enjoy it for its novelties.
Idk after playing them pretty thoroughly i guess what i think makes a fallout game a fallout game and not just a random post apocalypse game... well...a meaningful narrative that makes you really think and question america and being american. Bethesda is just...centrist... and not radical enough to really make a lasting and impressionable narrative about, well, america i guess.

a concept
U know how in the comics Aang starts rebuilding the air nation with ppl who are basically converts to their religion? By like teaching them about the air nomad’s ways and stuff?
What if he gave some of them air bending using energy bending? And they could start re-building the air nation and it’s culture by teaching them everything!! They could even start moving back into the temples now that they could fly and rebuilding
They’d even have the bison!! According to the wiki aang found a living herd after the war !!
Idk just. As a Jewish person genocide stories are really really personal to me. And the thought of being the last of my people is terrifying
I just really want the air nation to have a chance to rebuild in a natural way. And I think that like letting ppl choose to convert and gifting them with air bending would probably be the best way
Ik aang’s kids and grandkids have air bending but trying to rebuild an entire nation from one bloodline is.... not the best idea
And I also know that in lok a bunch of ppl are given air bending, but that whole story really rubs me the wrong way (no hate to lok though!! There are parts I like!!)
Under the cut is basically an explanation as to why I take issue w/ it and find it mildly offensive/an essay about cultural appropriation in general lol. but i don’t wanna kill ppl’s dashes so if you wanna see the explanation check there 
but i really think that aang like.... allowing ppl to convert, and teaching them, and gifting them w/ airbending in the most natural/best way for that story to go and i wanted to share that!! :) 
anyway time for a whole essay because i.... apparently need to explain and justify every single one of my opinions. i’ma blame the adhd. 
I have 2 main issues w/ the new air bender plot. a) the air Nomad religion/culture is pretty explicitly seen as a closed one and b) it’s sort of a cop-out.....
so... first:
 Air bending is pretty explicitly a huge part of the air nomad culture and religion and is extremely spiritual. bc of how religious and spiritual it is the idea of ppl just.... randomly being given it really rubs me the wrong way.
It’s really really hard for me to explain this or come up with an irl example, bc these ppl didn’t ask for air bending, or try to gain it in anyway. So it’s not really their fault. But to me it feels almost like accidental cultural appropriation? If that makes sense
Which like. cultural appropriation is obviously bad. Even in the comic I originally referenced (the promise) Aang is initally really really offended by the people practicing the air Nomad religion when he first finds out!!! Which he should be!!!
There’s a difference between cultural appropriation, culture appreciation, and sharing culture. The first is bad, and the second 2 are good when done correctly.
Ima use an irl example w/ Judaism just bc using this personal experiences is apparently the only way my brain knows how to explain things
Scenario 1: Amanda (who is xtian) decides to research the Jewish holiday of Passover and the traditions behind it just bc she’s interested in it
This is cultural appreciation! She’s just learning about smthn she finds interesting. This is generally ok! although in some cultures there is knowledge that you are not supposed to know or discuss if you are not part of that culture and you should 100% respect that if it is the case 
Scenario 2: Amanda learns about the Passover seder and decides to throw one herself
Dont fucking do this omfg. This is cultural appropriation. Passover is a super important and religions holiday! It’s one of the high holy days and celebrating it on her own isn’t ok! 
Scenario 3: Amanda asks her Jewish freind Alex if she can come to his Passover seder
This is cultural appreciation and cultural sharing!! It’s totally valid!! She respectfully asks to join in and be included! 
it’s diffrent from cultural apropriation for one huge reason. she is joining in, rather than celebrating it on her own with no jewish ppl present 
Scenario 4: Amanda eats gefitlefish just bc she likes it 
this is appreciation! even though there are no jewish ppl involved! bc gefiltefish isn’t a holy/religious/spiritual thing. 
different aspects of different cultures have different levels of importance. as a general rule, if smthn is holy/religious, you should not do anything with it, unless invited by someone of that culture. if it’s not then you can generally do it on ur own (though there is some grey area there. ie, moccasins are smthn that aren’t religious to native americans, but if ur not native you shouldn’t be producing and selling them. if you want moccasins by them from actual natives) 
scenario 5: amanda contacts a rabbi and starts the conversion process 
this is...... just conversion lol. when she is finished with the process (which can take months/years) she’ll no longer be xtian and be jewish!! just as much as anyone who was born into judiasm. she’ll be able to host her own seders and any of her children will be jewish as well :) 
sorry for the really long thing!!  but i felt it was necessary to show the difference between some concepts that seem similar but are actually vastly different!! 
anyway, i hope y’all understand the difference between cultural appropriation/appreciation/sharing. if ur asking urself “ok why does it matter tho” friendly reminder that alot of irl ppl have been murdered for trying to peacefully observe their cultures/religions :) 
including the air nomads! (hey segway...) 
they are literally hunted to extension because they are part of one culture/religion. you could argue it’s a racism thing (which it is) but race, culture, ethnicity and religion are all inherently tied. see: almost every non-xtian religion worldwide 
SO. when you consider that a) the nomads were killed for their religion b) airbending was incredibly significant part of that religion, isn’t it weird that random people who have 0 connection or interest in that religion suddenly have airbending?? 
again it becomes like accidental cultural appropriation. which you can’t really blame the characters for in-world
but, these aren’t real ppl. they’re characters in a situation that was written by real ppl, real ppl who can and should be criticized 
not that i’m trying to call the creators bigoted in anyway! this dosn’t seem like anything that was meant to be offensive. and it’s not really that offensive unless you think about it. to me it just seems like a plot point that wasn’t fully thought through. i don’t bring it up to shame the creators, just as a way to show others why it’s smthn not to be repeated 
and, to show a better way to do a similar story 
the reason i went so in depth w/ the explanation of cultural appropriation vs appreciation vs conversion is bc i wanna show why a different way of approaching a similar story would have been better
the reason i think my whole idea (of ppl basically contacting aang or the air nomads, converting to the religion, and then being gifted air bending through energy bending) is better than ppl being randomly gifted it is bc conversion takes work 
to convert to any culture or religion you a) need a connection to someone in that culture (usually made by reaching out to a religious leader) and b) need to actually be accepted by that group in order to be considered one of them. it takes work and dedication. it’s a literal transfer of culture!! it’s just... ack i’m not good at explaining it 
but dosn’t it make so much more sense that ppl who actually worked to integrate themselves into the culture and become one of them are givin airbending? not because it’s a privilege but bc they need to first become part of the culture in order to have any right or claim to it 
but by just giving it to random non-benders it’s basically the reverse!! yes they later learn the culture and religon, but???? thats not how that works??? wtf??? 
i feel like i’ve been talking in circles and i’m sorry if i’ve bored everyone to death but i hope u understand my point. 
anyway! next thing! (i swear this part will be way shorter) 
by just making a bunch of random ppl airbenders it basically retcons one of the longlasting effects of the 100 yr war and almost just... erases the impact of the air nomad’s genocide 
which. is gross and uncomfortable. genocide stories are touchy subjects and smthn that need to be treated with respect 
just giving random ppl airbending it’s almost like the genocide didn’t matter at all. which i take a huge fucking issue w/ ok and i don’t feel like i need to explain why 
instead of a natural rebuilding of the air nomads it’s just fixed with spirit magic. it’s just... an insult to the really compelling and well written genocide story that was in atla and an insult to the irl ppl who related to that story 
so. yeah.... again i’m not trying to call out the creators, i again think this plotline was more accidentally insulting than purposefully 
i already propsed a better way to do it by allowing converts to gain the ability to airbend. (hell it dosn’t even need to come from energy bending or aang. the air nomads were incredibly spiritual, maybe a spirit gifted it to the ppl who earned it instead of random fucking ppl) 
but the other reason that converts instead of just.... random ppl gaining the ability is better is bc there aren’t gonna be that many ppl to convert!! there’s not gonna be some sudden boom in the airbending population!! theres would still be a story of the nation slowly healing and rebuilfing itself instead of the insulting sudden magic fix
oof. sorry for the long freaking thing. i literally went into this just wanting to share an idea and instead spent over an hour analyzing this stuff lol.... 
i hope this was coherent but if anyone’s got questions about anything i said feel free to @ me or shoot me an ask :) as long as ur polite and stuff i’ll answer to the best of my ability

i finally rewatched Us watching for details... I also took a bunch of screenshots, I’ve mentioned before I live in santa cruz and grew up going to this boardwalk so im obsessed with this movie, I’m going to go try to take some better comparison shots sometime (here’s a few I took before) (and here’s a Tethered mannequin that was outside of the frightwalk for a while. i havent been inside for ages so I don’t know if they moved him inside or if he’s just gone now) (i HOPE they did something with the theme considering the frightwalk is literally a horror attraction beneath the boardwalk. i dont really want to go in there by myself though lmao. not a fan of animatronics jumping out and screaming at me) 
this is a lot, i have many things to say 
Tumblr media
-----------------
Tumblr media
- the opening news segment is 11 at 11 
Tumblr media
- you can faintly see adelaide/red’s reflection in the tv screen, with a toy rabbit (her shirt also has twin lines on it in multiple places but that could be looking too far lmao) 
- in the “Hands Across America” segment (aside from the obvious red figures linked together in the logo) : “from the golden gate bridge to the twin towers” another possible 11/twinning, and it starts in california, which is where the tethered revolution begins 
- on “from sea to shining sea” the exact same coastline image is just flipped 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(there’s also another 11 on the side of the TV here) 
- “This summer, 6 million people will tether themselves together” 
Tumblr media
- brief mirroring in the boardwalk ad, not just two girls running on the beach but also two girls with upside down reflections in the ground, 
Tumblr media
- fairly obvious one, but “find yourself” (as a sidenote there’s nothing in that spot irl, the roller coaster and the swings are real but there was never a ‘vision quest’ or a ‘merlin forest’ as far as I know and there’s no door or anything there either, the interior shots must’ve been done separately somewhere else) (nothing’s left here from the movie now either, I have no idea when they filmed it because I never saw anything or heard anything about it) 
- adelaide/red whistles “the itsy bitsy spider” when the lights go out in the vision quest - “down came the rain and washed the spider out,” it’s raining outside when her tethered comes up (and she is dragged down). she also drops her red apple on the ground before she enters 
Tumblr media
- zora’s rabbit shirt 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- everyone else is eating fast food of some kind, except adelaide, who is eating red strawberries 
as well as being a visual cue, its possible she has an aversion to meat if she was forced to eat raw rabbit as a child
Tumblr media
- young adelaide arranging animals in the sand (it seems like some of the tethered tend to mirror their counterpart’s movements, so it’s possible she’s mirroring red, though it’s probably not that likely she’d be planning this early/the dance hasnt happened yet so its probably just foreshadowing) 
- young adelaide very pointedly watches “her” mother crying, saying “I just want my little girl back” - she will never have her little girl back again, though she doesn’t know it (I’m not sure if adelaide still remembers what she’s done at this point either) 
its also mentioned that ‘grandma’ has passed away as of the present time, likely adelaide’s mother (i dont remember if its stated outright but since the house belonged to the grandma, and it’s in santa cruz, that would line up) so. the tethered mother, if she’s still alive, would not kill red’s real mother in the uprising. dont know about the father, or if red knows/cares about this, but. thats there. that also means the original mother will never know what happened with her daughter (likely the father won’t either, it’s not clear if he’s still alive but there’s no mention of him being around/he’s not at the house so it seems likely he passed already too) 
Tumblr media
- adelaide, her reflection, and a (not so) itsy bitsy spider 
Tumblr media
theres even two spiders, one a toy, one real 
- jason crawls out of a cabinet at zora’s feet and scares her while she’s looking in a mirror (which is also a very pluto-like movement) 
Tumblr media
- adelaide finds the toy rabbit in a box; assuming the intro was chronological, we saw “her” with it in the tv screen reflection before she went to the boardwalk, so this was red’s rabbit first (she probably does not remember this, though) (red also later finds this and cuts off the head, not sure why though)
Tumblr media
- adelaide “sees” her child self in the room with her (in her memory) learning her dance alongside her reflection
Tumblr media
 but the reflection is the one she “sees” looking directly at her 
(she’s also interrupted by hearing her son, above her, screaming because he’s trapped, but that might not be intentional) (though when red comes down here later, she is also interrupted by her son getting stuck in the closet too)
Tumblr media
- she’s also wearing a choker necklace with a matching gold bracelet, maybe an allusion to. the choking and the handcuffs, again i might be looking into it too much, but. the white clothes which steadily become red with blood seems very intentional so i wouldnt be surprised if the jewelry was planned specifically too 
Tumblr media
- its really hard to see and its a split second throwaway comment but kitty goes “oh isnt that beautiful” showing her the magazine and i thhiiiink thats a white girl in a native american headdress :’  ) probably doesnt have. much deeper meaning other than ‘clueless white friends’ but 
Tumblr media
- guy buried in sand comes bursting to the surface again and scares his friends (also eyyooooo you can see the wharf in the background im down there all the time) (sorry this is still wild to me. i grew up here ive been to that beach like 9 million times)
- i didnt catch it and was waiting for it to be shown again and it wasnt and i dont want to go back for it but anyway jason has a drawing of a bunch of people holding hands in a line like the hands across america thing in his room, theres a lot of drawings around and we see his drawing of the first untethered, so he probably drew that as well
- jason has a hard time communicating, but he seems to use drawing as a way to express himself. he doesn’t tell his mother about the encounter with the old man (and only shrugs when he’s asked about it) but he does draw it. adelaide found self expression through dance when she was a child before she was able to talk, so he probably got those traits from her. her voice also goes low and hollow on the line “I just didn’t know if you were lost, or... taken” 
- her voice also gets very strange when she’s talking about her memory of the encounter in the vision quest. low, shaky, harsh. its fascinating hearing how much alike the voices are (obviously they’re both the same actress/if the tethered are clones it makes sense that they’d have identical vocal chords but like. red’s got a fucked up voice. hearing echos of that in adelaide is wild and i didnt notice it at all before) 
- its not clear whether adelaide actually remembers what she did, or even realizes she was the copy - is she trying to protect her family from what she believes was the girl who almost took her, or trying to stop her from getting her revenge? she describes the event to gabe as if she was the one who was attacked but escaped, and im not sure if she’s lying or has convinced herself that’s the truth
something’s going on with jason and pluto too but I don’t quite know what it is. when we first see jason he’s wearing a Jaws shirt, kind of a similar vibe to the thriller shirt, and when the tethered arrive he’s wearing a white tuxedo t shirt, white matching his mother’s white outfit. the others all go off to kill their doubles but pluto holds jason’s hand, sits with him quietly, watches his magic trick, he’s told to go “play” which. obviously has a violent undertone to it but he doesn’t actually try to kill him. i dont even remember seeing him with the scissors. why are jason and pluto different. why does pluto get stuck mirroring jason’s movements even to the point of his death but the others dont. why didn’t adelaide mirror red
i guess its possible its because pluto is the youngest in the family so maybe he hasn’t broken out of his connection yet? they didnt really ever explain how they learned to do that 
and as for the connection with adelaide it. could just be that jason takes after his mom more and zora takes after her dad more but that seems too simple. i mean theres the theory going around that jason was actually switched with his clone too at some point and its got some good points (jason forgetting the magic trick, getting stuck in the closet again, etc) but theres a whole line of logic to debunk that too so its just. What’s Going On Here  
Tumblr media
cal 11 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i took the first pic to get a comparison shot at the same place later irl but then noticed the ambulance they come across is the same one (#2) they saw earlier 
Tumblr media
pretty obvious but the real rabbit comes out through the picture of an identical rabbit (there’s also probably a “rabbit hole” allusion here) 
Tumblr media
i noticed this before too but now i have a screenshot of it, im the rabbit in the background just chilling on the floor during the climax here
Tumblr media
- im sure i must have seen this before but i forgot about it. the 11:11 guy’s tethered didn’t have a sign so he just.......carved it into his head
Tumblr media
- it never healed, either, he did it badly enough to scar
- red says “I couldn’t stop thinking about you, how you could have taken me with you” - she doesn’t mean adelaide ran off and left her there. adelaide made the choice to trap her in the underground. its possible red might have even been thinking how she would have let adelaide come with her if given the chance, which. i mean, i dont know how her parents would have reacted to suddenly having identical twins out of nowhere, but like. knowing there’s a chance red might have accepted her. and all this could have been different 
Tumblr media
this is definitely a movie that’s not really intended to be fully explained, there’s a lot of questions that aren’t really supposed to be answered, but nonetheless one of my biggest concerns is where do the clothes come from underground. red tells us they were all abandoned down there generations ago so nobody’s supervising or providing anything. how do they end up with copies of the clothing their counterparts are wearing. and here adelaide has a messed up faded old shirt that either looks similar to red’s shirt or is the same shirt just badly damaged, she switches it with red’s before she goes out for good so that explains how she gets the new shirt, but where did this one come from. why is it different if the other clothes aren’t
and of course there’s the whole question of “where did they all get these red jumpsuits from” but again. questions that aren’t really the point, i guess

Así que eres "latine", de que país eres?, si eres gringa de que generación de latinos eres, has alguna vez visitado un país latinoamericano? Tienes amigos latinos? tus vecinos son latinos?, hay latinos en tu barrio, cuál es tu autor latino favorito? cantante? Película latina favorita? Tú opinión en la operación Cóndor?
I *long, LABORED sigh*
 I see we’re gatekeepting being Latine now? Way to put it in scare quotes, as if making a term gender-neutral is a “bad” thing or something (when like...Latino and Latina are separate terms to begin with so it just makes it easier to refer to all members within this group but ok...)....not to mention the presumption that all Latines speak spanish (we just gonna ignore everyone from brazil, the guyanas, and suriname?)
I’m a puerto-rican jew, my great-grandparents having been born and raised in pr, and not coming to america until around the 1930s.
I haven’t visited a latin american country, because 1) IM FUCKING POOR and 2) I don’t even have a passport (does that mean every latine who doesn’t have the disposable income to travel to their ““homelands”” is suddenly race-faking? that’s awfully classist of you)
unfortunately i dont know a whole lot of other latine people irl since i live in White Country tm (long story) but i have friends online too so
I suppose the fact that I live in White Country answers the neighbor question. And the authors question, since like, most of the shit i read in school was white american authors and that also reflects the kinda stuff i find at stores and libraries too.
As for latin singers, I like....basically everything I’ve ever listened to as far as mariachi, samba , other types of folk...I should really listen to more but I’m down to listen to most music in general so I probably will in the future. 
I don’t really watch many movies that aren’t animated, but I like the book of life, though that is in english
I don’t know what the condor operation is but if it was by america it was probably not a good thing then since I’m WELL aware of how the usa has screwed over central and south america and i think the government needs to leave them the fuck alone unless they specifically and explicitly have asked for help (and to only do whatever actions they have asked for) and i think that applies to any country that the usa has fucked with and hurt in the past.

6. going along with that kinda like just the fact that i started writing again is?? pretty big?? when i was a kid, and im talking like 8 and onward i used to write all the fucking time, like was always sat in front of the computer writing something and that stopped when i was in high school because i got too busy!! so im super fucking grateful for the people in the dod who pushed me to write this summer, and also to YALL that have been nonstop hyping me up since?? like you guys dont understand how validating it is for me, this really has been one of the best things to come out of 2019 for me

what the sokovia accords really are
a quick study bc what the fuck guys
(copied from the mcu wiki entry about the accords - all of it and not just parts of it)
here goes:
The currently known regulations established by the Sokovia Accords include:
Any enhanced individuals who agree to sign must register with the United Nations and provide biometric data such as fingerprints and DNA samples.
- Any who AGREE to sign. I dont think this is asking too much. If ur working for a government agency, if ur using force in any way during ur work, I think its fair to ask you to give them biometric data. And if its only so in case there is an investigation afterwards (which their always should be imo) its clear distinguishable who was where and did what.
- Also, what if someone suddenly decides "something happened, im changing sides, imma take revenge" (no matter if its a concious decision or brainwashing 👀)? Would probably be good to have some data and perhaps be able to track them. If its managable or not- hm. But theres no harm in giving that data if ur only goal is working towards a safer world.
-----
Those with secret identities must reveal their legal names and true identities to the United Nations.
- Oh nooo, no unknown vigilantes that might make mistakes while fighting on their own and then cant be held accountable? No one is perfect, OF COURSE, but from a realistic pov I wouldnt feel safe with someone running around fighting whoever-
And I know we love the romantic comic fantasy of "everybody can be a hero", and I swear I love it as much as you! But imagine ur just a normal person while spiderman is swinging above ur head- or even imagine ur spiderman- and then one tiny thing wents wrong. The normal person is crushed, dead or paralysed- Spiderman is in shock because that was Not supposed to happen and he is so so sorry!- But what now?
- If enhanced people were to work under an organisation (that is ideally not as shady and riddled with Hydra as Shield was) then those incidents would be covered. Yes it would still be terrible but Spiderman would get mandatory therapy session to work through it and the normal person... well if theyre dead then i guess the organisation would at least pay for the funeral and compensate the family (like if they were the only one providing for partner and kids), additionally a conversation between both partys if possible.
-Basically: nothing can be swept under the rug. The enhanced people can be protected!!! PLUS they only have to reveal their identity to the UN and not the world.
---------
Those with innate powers must submit to a power analysis, which will categorize their threat level and determine potential health risks.
- This would benefit the person with power too, you realize that, dont you?
You cant possibly know how much power you actually have. Is there gonna be another level-up for you? Are you Jean Grey? We wouldnt want to repeat that specific clusterfuck, right?
But if you submit to an analysis it can help find ways to train you, circle ur weaknesses, etc.
Yes the UN would know ur threat level- and that would be bad why? Are you planning to attack Them? If not then no problem. Instead they would know if they should send you in or not- depending... you dont need a level 5 when there is a cat in a tree. We want to avoid unnecessary damage, thank you. If ur a level 1 you also dont want to be on the front lines against an alien invasion for example- better help evacuate non-powered individuals and not die immediately.
- Also worth mentioning: this is all still part of the "if you agree to sign" paragraph
-------
Those with innate powers must also wear tracking bracelets at all times.
- Yes I admit this one sucks. I could argue the pros but I dont really want to because this one is literally just a "we want to control you" rule and should be scratched.
------- (new paragraph in the accords)----
Any enhanced individuals who sign are prohibited from taking action in any country other than their own, unless they are first given clearance by either that country's government or by a United Nations subcommittee.
- I really want to think I dont have to say anything here but I feel I do.
No I do not want a guy wearing an american flag running around in my country if my government didnt explicitely allow it. Same for a giant tin man or a creepy spiderlady.
- If anything then this paragraph would help improve the communication between countries. Yes people fear that in emergencies this will all take too long but 1) thats not the Accords fault and 2) I think we already have situations like this irl and most times it does work.
---------
Governments are forbidden from deploying enhanced individuals outside of their own national borders, unless those individuals are given clearance as described above. The same rule also applies to non-government organizations that operate on a global scale (including S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers).
- Same reasoning. I really really dont want Shield around with their shady everything.
- And always needing consent before weaking havoc in other countries? nice
--------(new paragraph)-----
Any enhanced individuals who do not sign will not be allowed to take part in any police, military, or espionage activities, or to otherwise participate in any national or international conflict, even in their own country.
- Basically if you dont sign up then you cant be a super-cop. Groundbreaking.
(This is very much explained in the first paragraph already.)
----------
As a corollary, they will not be allowed to participate in any active missions undertaken by private or governmental law enforcement/military/intelligence organizations (such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers).
- s a m e t h i n g
--------(new paragraph)-----
Any enhanced individuals who use their powers to break the law (including those who take part in extralegal vigilante activities), or are otherwise deemed to be a threat to the safety of the general public, may be detained indefinitely without trial.
If an enhanced individual violates the Accords, or obstructs the actions of those enforcing the Accords, they may likewise be arrested and detained indefinitely without trial.
- Cancel the without trial part and then Id say its just. This way it stinks and I feel Ross had his hands in this. No, I am not defending this one. Its Not Okay.
------(new paragraph)-------
The use of technology to bestow individuals with innate superhuman capabilities is strictly regulated, as is the use and distribution of highly advanced technology (such as Asgardian and Chitauri weaponry).
- You cant just experient and turn urself into the Hulk anymore??? Where is the fun in that?? //sarcasm//
- I dont need to go deeper into this, do I?
-------
The creation of self-aware artificial intelligences is completely prohibited.
- Here comes a problem. For Tony mostly.
- I can think of a few reasons for this but I dont think many people are even capable of doing this. I think it would bd enough to file a request if you want to try and build an AI.
--------(new paragraph)----
The Avengers will no longer be a private organization and will operate under the supervision of the United Nations.
- See.. all of the above on why this is a good thing?
- The Avengers as a private organisation is actually a super scary thought. And if you arent at least a little freaked out about this (all from the point of looking at this as if it were real) then idk what to tell you.
---------(new paragraph)-------
For the purposes of the Accords, an "enhanced individual" is defined as any person, human or otherwise, with superhuman capabilities. This includes individuals whose powers are an innate function of their biology as well as individuals who utilize highly advanced technology to grant themselves superhuman capabilities. However, individuals with advanced prostheses do not seem to be considered "enhanced", even if their prostheses give them capabilities beyond those of ordinary humans. 
- Basically just explaining what they mean by "enhanced individual": people with powers. Doesnt matter if you are born with ur power or built urself a supersuit.
-If you got leg protheses that are super bouncy you arent considered an "enhanced individual" (to put it as simple as possible).
-----
All members of the Avengers are subject to the same conditions as enhanced individuals, even if they are not enhanced themselves: Black Widow was required to sign so she could continue serving on the Avengers, and Hawkeye was incarcerated on the Raft after violating the Accords.
- I think this is fair because if you consider urself an Avenger and fight with them then you also should be held accountable.
- You wouldnt want a Someone to work in super-person capacity which both gives a great deal of responsibility and allows a high chance of fuck ups and destruction without them having any regulations, okay?
AND THATS ALL THERE IS
THATS ALL THE MCU WIKI SAYS THERE IS
Which is ofc bullshit because the Accords were thick and 117 countries worked on them for idk how long. Do you understand what that takes? The compromises and politic battles thats been fought over this document?
And yes it is still not perfect.
But who in the seven Hells said that this was the final draft? Who??
"I dont wanna sign away my freedom of choice" F you! What about my freedom of choice of having some costumed weirdos run around my town blowing stuff up killing people?
"We cant save everyone" yEAH but maybe just mAyBe if you werent a dumb cunt then mayyybe with some teamwork with the countries respective secrurity personell (as every fucking country does have) then maybe Kyle, Maria and Dembe would still be alive?? Who knows.
So what I hear is "I dont wanna give up my freedom and continue to do as I see fit. Because I think I am a better judge than a UN committee and 117 governments that dont want me breaking into their countries on a semi-regular basis."
and thats why im generally pro-Accords :)
