Everybody Is Dead...!

In the Metal Fight Beyblade verse, Rago is capable via Diablo Nemesis of absorbing the power of his opponent and gaining their abilities. He can also gain the abilities and power of everyone that opponent has fought from the beginning to the present.

Despite this, Pluto states that Nemesis has the power of every bey in the world by the time he and Rago do battle with the Legendary Bladers and company. It opens the door to a potential trickle down effect that would go on and on. It makes Rago's main ability one of the most horrifying in any verse.

This got me thinking about another potential trickle down that could be applied to another overpowered deity. This one being of light rather than destruction. Galeem. Due to the incredible amount of crossovers and cameos that can be traced via some path to someone within the Super Smash Bros verse, there's a disturbing amount of verses that are almost certainly reduced to non-existence alongside everyone that ever existed within that verse by the Lord of Light and it's "Everybody Is Dead" attack. That isn't counting restoring the verses back into existence and shuffling them while everyone in them become mindless slaves. Even the verses with stages, Mii outfits and music have potential to be completely screwed. A scenario like this would represent the absolute highest limit of Galeem's power...

[a-mag-a-day]

I've listened to tma something like five times now? Plus an extra dozen or so time for mg favourite episodes lol 😂 It's very fun seeing this blog go through all the episodes day by day but I have a very important question: how do you manage only one mag a day?? I've never listened to less than at least two in a row and once I forgot to turn it off before I went to bed so I had Jonny whisper horrors to me from episode 80 something all the way to episode 101 when I woke up

Lol it was very hard to hold back but we do it for the community relisten and eventually got used to the pace <3

[itsawritblr]

Why did no one TELL me that “Turning Red” is fucking brilliant?!

Yes, yes, I’m late to this film.  I don’t have streaming so I couldn’t watch it on Disney+, and I no longer go to theaters because too often I pay $10 and hate the movie.  I wait for things to come out on DVD, if they ever do.  So I only just borrowed this from my library.

Holy fuck, do I love this movie.

I love middle-grade fiction (10-13 year olds).  I’ve been really, really disappointed with MG novels the last few years.  The writing has been shit.  Authors know how to write “killer” first chapters, because that’s what writing teachers tell them they have to do, but they’re not good at middles and godawful at endings.  It’s as if they’re following a Kid Lit 101 template for “How To Write A Middle-Grade Novel.”  So I can read through a literal stack of MGS and each one has the exact same plot, with the same use of coincidence to give the MC a Happy Ending With a Lesson.

First, Turning Red surprised me by its time period and location: Toronto, 2002.  Which was nice, because therefore the middle-school characters weren’t walking around with smartphones and earbuds.

Second, which should be first: The screenwriters depicted 13-year-old girls like real goddamn 13-year-old girls.  Not teenagers in smaller bodies.  The writers understood fannishness and depicted it accurately.  And, most important, they didn’t mock it.

Nearly all goddamn entertainment media (with the exception of Miraculous Ladybug) shows kids creating fanart and fan content with a slight condescending sneer.  “Oh, it’s really so cringe, but the kids like it.”  TR depicts just how important fandom is to Mei and her friends, that it’s not a crutch or “coping mechanism.”  It’s a stabilizing, life-affirming, integral part of growing up, of learning about yourself and your relationship with a difficult, unstable period of your life (that even, helLO, adults enjoy).

And the writing is just so fucking good.  The way the characters react to Mei’s transformation, to a giant fucking panda running around Toronto, is handled so well, so consistently.  Do they call the police or the FBI or some secret government Cryptozoology Unit?  No.  The people are shocked and surprised, but they accept it.  That they do means the audience does, so there isn’t a belabored “Well, let’s explain this bizarre phenomenon so you’ll accept our world-building” exposition bullshit.

The plot moves forward with logical progression.  The girls want to go to the concert.  This means they need to raise money.  They turn Mei’s transformation into a benefit.  Because the kids act like kids would.  They fucking LOVE Mei as a giant panda.  These are kids who are into manga, anime, fanfics, fanart, and plushies.  Real kids would see a giant, talking panda and run TO it, not from it.  Of course they’d pay to take selfies with it, and buy merch.  TR doesn’t laugh at the kids who wear panda ears and tails.  It understands and celebrates them.

Of course the movie is too short to round out all the characters.  But given its limited time each of Mei’s friends has a distinct personality.  The screenwriters don’t explain why four such different girls have bonded so deeply.  Watching their joy and camaraderie is more than enough for the audience to understand.  They fill niches in each other, making them whole.

I love how Abby yells in Korean and they don’t have subtitles.

I also love that the girls’ crushes aren’t stereotypically handsome.  The 17 year old cashier at the convenience store, the kid at his locker who Mei gapes at, they’re just regular-looking boys to the audience, but they’re special to the girls, and that’s refreshing.

I’m Hapa, but I didn’t grow up around other Asians.  I’m not familiar with the pressure Mei gets from her mother, which some accused of being stereotypical of the “Tiger Mom.”  But other Asian girls have said it’s fucking accurate.  And god knows the pressure isn’t limited to Asian families.  It’s a truism that the more specific your story the more universal it is.  Most kids can identify with adults pushing them to goals they may or may not want.  That we the audience experience a culture with which we may not be familiar is icing on the cake.

I LOVE that for once we see a religion that isn’t Christianity, and it’s treated with respect and sincerity, not as something exotic or weird.

The metaphor of Mei’s transformation isn’t heavy-handed, partly because of its humor.  I absolutely adore how they treat a girl’s first menstruation with the alarm which many parents feel, but also as completely normal.

I love that they don’t get into detail about exactly how Ming hurt her own mother.  But we can guess it by Wu’s eyebrow scar, and how she touches it when she mentions how dangerous being a panda can be.

The concert’s opening is a fantastic build-up.  Mei has fled the ritual that would deny her her “red panda” and instead goes to the concert, a ritual in itself, the pacing, the sound, the reveal.  This is Mei and her friends’ initiation into, as they say, being “women.”  Even Tyler undergoes the ritual of admitting to others his own blossoming adolescence, and finds common ground with the girls.  In 2002 it was still risky for a boy to openly show his crush for another boy.

Here Mei, her friends, Tyler, and all the other kids at the concert join in an open-air Communion.  Notice there are no adults in sight.  In fact, the liturgy is interrupted when an adult, Ming in panda form, bursts in.  But the transformation -- Mei and her friends into “womanhood” -- continues and is an integral part of the Red moon ritual.  This is some amazing metaphorical shit, and it’s done so smoothly, so unconsciously, so damn well, on a gut level.

The screenwriters set up that any singing will work for the ceremony -- Mr. Gao, the shaman, says he loves Tony Bennett -- as long as it’s from the heart.  So having 4 Town and their concert audience singing help the ritual absolutely works.

The only thing I don’t like about TR is the closing speech by Mei.  It’s preachy and unnecessary.  But, that’s American animation, and fiction, for kids.  They’re expected to Teach A Lesson.  I just wish the writers and director had left it off.

Last but not least, Mei’s father.  What can I say?  A quiet figure, who any other movie would have turned into a weak nagged-to-death husband.  Instead, he’s talented in his own right -- a great cook; we see it when he’s introduced, so we immediately know he’s an artist with food; it reminded me of Ratatouille.  He speaks for Mei, and though his wife dominates their scenes together, it’s his kind, caring, common sense personality that helps Mei along.  Her transformation, from girl to woman, isn’t his area of expertise.  He knows it.  But he’s there as her support.

If I had to pick just one Disney-Pixar film to show middle-grade kids, Turning Red would be it.  I want to show it to every middle-grade writer I know and tell them to fucking learn from it.

All the elements of the periodic table in the Kichwa language

Jose E. Andino-Enríquez, Manuel A. Andino-Enríquez, Francis E. Hidalgo-Báez, Sisa P. Chalán-Gualán, Santiago D. Gualapuro-Gualapuro, Simone Belli and Michelle B. Chicaiza-Lema recently published in the Journal of Chemical Education a proposal to adapt the names of the 118 elements of the periodic table to Kichwa (Adaptation of the Periodic Table to Kichwa: An Ecuadorian Native Language; J. Chem. Ed., 2022 99 (1), 211-218, DOI: 10.1021/acs.jchemed.1c00383).

The authors explain that the Kichwa lacks scientific tools to respond to educational needs, triggering the gradual loss of intercultural diversity. To adapt the periodic table to Kichwa, they took into account the different linguistic variations of the language and the opinion of the speakers. This is the adaptation compared to the Spanish version, the language most widely spoken in Ecuador:

Lo autores explican que que el kichwa carece de herramientas científicas para responder a las necesidades educativas, desencadenando la pérdida gradual de la diversidad intercultural. Para adaptar la tabla periódica al kichwa tuvieron en cuenta las diferentes variaciones lingüísticas del idioma y la opinión de los hablantes. Así quedó la adaptación:

Wegovy Update!

**TW: weight loss, talking about weight, dieting*

Finished my month on 0.25 MG, and now I’m up to 0.5 MG!

On 0.25 MG:

- Side effects were the worst the first week. Usually after taking a dose, the effects were most felt after the first 2 days: no appetite, didn’t have cravings/didn’t eat much, very tired, and my metabolism was THROUGH THE ROOF. Like absolutely through the roof: before when exercising it felt like I had to go very extreme when working out to produce any results or get my BPM up. Now if I’m getting myself up to a moderate work-up, my BPM is at a healthy, easily obtainable range. Otherwise, I was mostly fine taking 0.25 MG. I’d gotten p good at self-injecting too!

-The dose began to wear out on me after week 3 or so. I began wanting to eat more and have minimal cravings again. I knew I’d probably need to go up a dose soon.

-I lost 4 lbs in a month!! 💃🏻🎉

On 0.5 MG:

-Currently I’m on week 2 of 0.5 MG. I skipped the initial dose when I was supposed to go up because I was going to travel internationally, and I didn’t want to 1) Travel with the pen and inject myself somewhere foreign and 2) Stress my body out more while traveling with foreign foods, jet lag, etc. On Wegovy you can skip/miss doses for a week so long as you get back on within 48 hrs the original dosing date. (I was gone for a week and a half- before I left I took my last 0.25 MG dose, skipped the week I was gone, and came back to take 0.5 MG!)

-On the first dose, I took it shortly after I got back to the US. The first few days I felt nothing much. Usual appetite loss, no cravings- but I felt like I ate MORE because I just got back to the US and was having to adjust back to eating. I could argue I was extremely tired/sleepy, but it could’ve been the jet lag.

-The days leading up to my next dose, I had stomach cramps and a loooot of bloating. Going to the bathroom hurt. It was surprising how much my symptoms changed. But after the bathroom I always felt better. Working out does help alleviate a bit of the stomach cramping/bloating.

-I just took my second week dose last night. Right now my stomach feels tight/sore, and I feel pretty tired. Right after any dose I feel pretty exhausted. I have NO appetite and I am not wanting to eat. I’m still making myself eat something nutritious with protein though.

Those are my updates with Wegovy. I seem to be finding success with it 💕 I plan on either getting a personal trainer or going to a weight training 101 class, because I honestly don’t know how to weight train my body effectively for several reasons lmao. I also need to see a doctor about my fucked up shoulder- I can’t effectively weight train because my left shoulder is wrecked, but I don’t want it to stop my progress.

I’ll keep posting every once in a while!

[thebestpartofwakingup]

Think I’ve posted about this before but my fan/headcanon post-ending for the MGS series is that eventually (but like probably within Otacon’s lifetime) through a mix of leaks and some older government stuff slowly being declassified the Philosophers become like a known government conspiracy cover up and either through genuine interest/government red herring designation — Adamska the “baby soldier” becomes this documentary/anti-cold-war/“dark” pop science darling.

The central case study of many a Sociology and Psychology 101 courses, favorite paper topic for grad students everywhere, central figure of many a documini-series. Maybe gets a couple soft PR bills named after him. “As a parent the details in recent hit series ‘War Kitten’ unnerved me deeply and so as Governor I am proposing “Adam’s Law” explicitly outlawing the practice of forcibly enlisting children under the age of 16 without parental consent in the state of Nebraska” etc.

Because like. Isn’t that just the worst non-consequential outcome for everyone? Something nobody would want but that doesn’t actually affect anything except strained annoyance in Otacon?

Because of course the real story was never going to go mainstream but isn’t this just the most insufferable version of that truth?

The man who was born and lived in the shadows spending his death in the spotlight? Not as a villain, not even a cog in a complex machine, but as a victim?

As an international tragedy?

The boss exploited by the government one last time literally as a means to divert attention from that exploitation?
