#React’s Approach

PureCode company | React’s Approach to Styling Components

React promotes a component-centric approach to styling. Here, styles tie to components rather than being global. This encapsulation of styles ensures that a component’s style doesn’t inadvertently affect other parts of the application.

I really wonder if trauma theorists who say things like "Humans are the only animal that will be in a fright state when physically safe" or "the rest of the animal kingdom doesn't get PTSD" have ever, like

Do you think they've actually ever met an animal?

Reminded again, as I periodically am, that there's a fair number of people in the fandom that think of Nott the Brave and Veth Brenatto as two different characters, and not fundamentally the same woman. In the absolute literal sense, this is false: Nott the Brave, returned to the body of her choice and using her real name once again, is absolutely precisely the same person she was before Caleb cast Transmogrification on her. This is, incidentally, one of her main sources of angst towards the end of the campaign! A part of Nott must have both feared (and, in some ways, hoped) that when she was changed back into a halfling, she would also be a different person. That the person she became traveling with the Nein would be an easy identity to shed, which she may have hoped for because it would be easier to fit herself back into her home life with Yeza and Luc--and because it would be easier to say goodbye to the Nein if that were the case. And she feared it because she liked this person she became, no matter how transgressive society would label her for it. And she loved the Nein and didn't want those feelings to be altered.

But she didn't change. Veth Brenatto is Nott the Brave and Nott the Brave is Veth Brenatto. This was always the point. That's why it's an anagram. It's just that when she's Veth Brenatto again, she is much more focused on the why of what she's doing. Why am I still with the Nein? Why am I still adventuring? Why do I have this reticence to return home to my family? Why don't I long for that quiet, domestic life the way I once did? Her emotional journey becomes intensely personal, sometimes subtly/quietly told, and wholly about what kind of future she wants for herself and how her choice could affect those around her. Her two families become anchor points pulling her in different directions and she has to deal with that. Which is a different story than what she was telling when she was still Nott the Brave. Nott's story was much simpler--I am a goblin and I hate it and I would like to be a halfling again. I would like to be able to be with my family again. It's straightforward and it's achieved! But that's not where it ends, because she still needs to figure out a real, functional future for herself once her goal has been achieved.

All this to say, I think when people say they prefer Nott over Veth, it's important to remember that you are reacting to a certain story arc for the character, not an entirely different character. It may also pay to ask yourselves why you think they're so different. Was "Nott" funnier than "Veth" to you? Does her ability to serve as comic relief fundamentally change whether you like her or not? Did you appreciate "Nott's" themes more than "Veth's"? Or did you even notice the themes being explored in Veth's later game at all?

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

[majorxmaggiexboy]

The mighty nein are stronger than I am bc if I was them the whole “ooh we don’t trust you you shady bitch” arc of the first several episodes would actually be

Take your scruffy feral filthy little orange boy, wash thoroughly with dawn soap (and then do it again to make SURE there are no fleas) dry, fluff with towel

Your spicy feral kitten needs to eat like right now immediately, sit that guy down and give him some milk. Maybe some soup as well. In fact just offer both

for initial contact you want to use an oven mitt on a stick to pet your spicy feral cat, then graduate to using a toothbrush until the spiciness wears off

you HAVE to either provide a blanket nest or keep spicy kitten wrapped up in a towel so it feels safe

congratulates you will know you have in-spicied your little orange guy when he starts purring

i am actually fully obsessed with how the jealousy trope is being handled in this phumpeem (& kluen) storyline.

like, this is the most "no, i'm not angry at you, i'm just being stupid, and feeling jealous when i have no right to" moment ever:

phum doesn't even respond to peem here, because he is equally frustrated at the situation and at himself.

at the same time, when peem will ask him to speak about his feelings plainly, as usual, phum will be entirely incapable of not saying exactly what he feels.

"if something's bothering you, just tell me straight"

"i don't like it, when you're with khluen"

but this is not the typical possessive sentiment we are used to seeing. this isn't "you're mine, stop hanging out with him right fucking know" at all. it's just such a genuine expression of phum's feelings. his heart simply breaks a little bit every time kluen openly hits on the guy he is in love with. and yeah, no shit it does. that makes complete sense.

i think it's honestly impossible not to feel jealous, when you like someone so much but you aren't dating yet, and suddenly there is a possibility that they might actually date someone else. there is no situation in which jealousy makes more sense than in than this one, frankly. and the series is acknowledging how completely understandable phum's feelings are, while also not plunging into weirdo toxic possessiveness we typically see. which is just perfect.

Has Machete ever had to comfort or calm down Vasco?

I think Vasco might have a bit of a habit of suppressing and underplaying his negative emotions, he doesn't like showing sadness or anger. He is genuinely optimistic and carefree and usually handles stress and difficult situations calmly, it takes a lot to truly get under his skin. But even he has his bad days and weak moments and of course Machete tries to be there for him. His attempts to comfort him are clumsy and inexperienced but I'd like to think that over time he gets better at it, largely by mirroring and replicating Vasco's own behavior.

i don't know if rusame downright want to die together but i just think if it happened? like if it had to happen or something? they'd both view it as something really righteous or just right. karmic in a way somehow. maybe even a little bit epic..? sorry this is an ame containing situation and you know . stupid ame voice if there can't be a fairytale ending where everything is alright then an awesome bittersweet tragic ending where the hero and the villain die together for the greater good is the best!

I'm aroace but i really wouldnt mind if someone expressed romantic or sexual attraction to me. I don't date but I would be happy to have a close lovey queerplatonic relationship and fuck as long as it's kinky, and I would be excited to learn about the feelings this person has and how they might differ from my own.

Enough of "oh nooooo i have a crush but they're aro/ace" more "they're aro/ace but it's still worth saying and maybe we can work out a relationship style that suits us both even if it doesnt look how i'd expect"

Having a close lovey flirty relationship where we can fuck as long as it's kinky is just how I do friends. Being aroace doesnt make me uninterested in that at all, it makes me not have the emotions that most people use to judge whether they should do that, so then I find other reasons to do it.... i.e. I feel comfortable enough around you. I would be interested to find out what things I truly am uninterested in due to being aroace. Besides just vanilla sex and dating.

I'm releived that they're not as vulnerable as it was seeming before we knew this guy is just a outstanding in his field (obliviously. like a scarecrow)

But I'm still confused and concerned? like this is a lot of guys they just?? either let or didn't notice were staying though the evacuation??

and like the head of security is one thing, lots of people will either assume or be easily convinced he knows better than them what's going on and to leave him to his business

but misplacing random staff is... like on a ship this big I guess it's inevitable??

But Gil said they do at least partial evacuations with some regularity, you'd think someone would notice someone who should be moving instead asleep or at least absent!

... though the regularity of the evacuation alarm probably didn't help it be something this guy would wake up for...

For the ask game

au where brudick happens but they keep it VERY hidden to the point only cass knows but she thinks everyone does cause to her it's so obvious, so one day on their monthly family dinner that no one misses she ask's them why they have different rooms when they always go to eachother during the night. What do you think would happen? Would they deny deny deny? would they ask her what she's talking about? how does everyone else react to this revelation? do the other heroes find out? do they have opinions about it?

for the ask game!

I LOVE THIS SHIT. truly love Cass noticing things she shouldn't and assuming they're common knowledge, it's my fave flavor. this is such a fun idea-

so Cass knows from like, day one. and obviously she never says anything bc she assumes this is normal. in a way, the weird vibes between Bruce and Dick *are* normalized to the Batfam, everyone sort of. tiptoes around their weirdness (even if they don't know it's romantic) so Cass learns to do the same. she doesn't mention it bc no one mentions Bruce and Dick's bond, it's only ever acknowledged with shared looks. it takes years before she has the courage to ask and i think it's fun if she asks for an utterly mundane reason. like, Alfred makes a teasing remark about washing everyone's bedsheets and what a task that is, and Cass just drops it into conversation that Dick's bed is rarely used because he's always in Bruce's, so that must make it easier to handle.

Dick was try to play it off as a joke. just the mention would make Bruce go silent, for once finally not having a contingency plan on how to handle something. he and Dick were never supposed to happen in the first place, it was so accidental he's never considered the possibility of someone finding out bc they're so careful, though in hindsight, of course he should've known Cass would've figured it out. Dick would awkwardly laugh, try to say something to the effect of "very funny, but we're not *that* close haha" just to break the tension. Cass doesn't give in, though. she's not the best at social cues and doesn't understand the desperate look Dick is giving her, trying to get her to drop it. she pushes on and corrects Dick, insisting she doesn't judge them for it. Bruce would finally snap back into reality and give a more serious denial, quickly changing the conversation before anyone else can press.

the issue is, the minute Cass says it out loud, it becomes *so* obvious. especially to Tim, who has the biggest "oh my GOD" lightbulb moment of his life. there is no unseeing it. it takes him a while to process how he feels about it, the same with everyone else. for a week, there's an obvious tension. no one will say anything, but everyone knows and is trying to sit with it to decide how they feel. it's not a simple situation to feel one way or another about. that's when the questions start. Tim asks Dick questions, Alfred asks Bruce questions. how old was Dick, how did it happen, all the things Dick and Bruce have never wanted to have to answer. bc none of the questions have clean answers. it was a slow and gradual relationship. sure, they can say the first time they slept together, but that doesn't *really* count as the start of things. the start goes back to when Dick was still a teenager, probably underage. even if nothing happened, they both knew. and the way they dance around the questions makes that obvious.

most of the Batfamily i think, would begrudgingly accept it. it's too late to convince Bruce and Dick out of it now, and at the end of the day, Bruce and Dick will always choose each other over anyone else. fighting it just increases the chances of getting ostracized and pushed away by the two of them. feelings vary. i think Alfred would be the least happy about it because he was there when Dick was just a 10 yr old. everyone else only has memory of Dick as an adult, but Alfred watched Dick grow up, raised by Bruce, so he just can't shake that image. Tim sees it as one of those things you just have to accept about Batman, and carefully considers his role as Robin and makes sure he focuses on making sure Dick is happy/safe as well as Bruce. if nothing else, Tim will put his feelings aside to be the Emotional Support Child. Barbara would distance herself from the Batfam for a while just to sit on it, because she also saw Dick as a kid and it sits wrong with her. long talks with Dick convince her to let it go, but she does keep a *much* closer eye on Bruce to be sure this doesn't become a pattern. i think she'd enlist Cass to make sure Bruce never shows romantic/sexual attraction toward other Robins. Steph and Jason are equally apathetic toward it, being the ones who are most negative toward Bruce. they just shrug and go "yeah sounds like some shit Bruce would do". Damian's a bit of a toss-up. i think it'd really throw him for a loop and he'd be far more critical of Dick in the beginning, but once he approves of Dick, he'd *really* latch onto him.

i do think the rest of the hero community would find out. not on purpose, but the leak happens. Babs vents her feelings about it to Dinah, Helena, and Zinda. Tim mutters about it to the Titans. and Jason will tell anyone who asks because he doesn't have a rat's ass to give about Bruce's precious reputation. (if anything, he'd purposefully try to ruin Bruce with that info) the hero community... varies. i think Oliver would be the *most* pissed. Oliver is very similar to Bruce, in that he's taken in his share of strays, but he was objectively a lot better at it than Bruce. it causes a minor public scandal when Oliver drinks too much at some gala and just. publically beats the shit out of Bruce Wayne, incoherently talking about something to do with him being a creep. i could see Oliver rallying support from people like Barry and Arthur who also have young sidekicks and would agree it being fucked up. i don't think Bruce would be entirely ejected from the hero community, but he would be quietly removed as a chair member of the Justice League and have most of his power as a team leader stripped. no matter how much damage control Dick does, insisting he was an adult when anything real happened and he consented, no one can look at Bruce the same. sort of a bittersweet ending, Bruce and Dick are together and no one can take that from them, but there's still realistic reaction and blowback to it, which i personally think is a lot of fun.
