i get a sense that a lot of heroes think they are villains too tho lol

Agreed, and I would argue that this supports my argument, that kindness is separate from morality. There are many "heroes" who do unkind things for the "greater good." To bring this back to SHC, how we decide who is a hero or a villain is more telling than whether or not kindness is a keystone of our morality system.

Would anyone want more Spanish-learning posts from me? I keep a Spanish language notebook where I keep notes just for my own reference (including all my notes from class). Depending on how diligently I'm watching a show, I'll try to compile vocabulary lists like the one above, which is basically new (to me) words I've picked up. This list encompasses Season 1 of the Desperate Housewives. It seems like more people are either using Duolingo, or have some increased interest in learning a second language so I figure it might be helpful. Let me know!

anyone else fondly think of the saying that if your necklace clasp winds up at the front instead of staying at the back of your neck it means someone is thinking of you. because I 10000% do I think it is extraordinarily precious and charming

We all remember the 21st night of September, but do you remember the credits sequence to Get Over It (2001)?

something about how female characters who are fighters are often characterized by the fandom as unhinged, chaotic, mean, aggressive, etc. even when, canonically, they're none of those things. and if they aren't any of those thing, then they're considered boring, uninteresting, etc.

obsessed with battle of the bands, something americans made up for high school movies about underdogs and friends who are growing in different directions and need some final high-stress situation to be able to speak to each other about it. its perfect. theres absolutely no way it exists in real life. its like narnia to me.

Memory, cover by Zhou Shen on Super Vocal (2018)

Translation below the cut if you need it, but if you can understand or read Mandarin Chinese I highly highly recommend watching this all the way through.

I didn’t see it coming, so my first time hearing the part starting from 3:59 was an Experience. An experience I would really love to share! So... here is the Chinese version of the last two verses that Zhou Shen adapted himself. 

This was supposed to be from Grizabella’s perspective, but I think it is also Shenshen’s and ours as well. Ah, it resonates hard with me anyway. 

我像一片落叶飘零 wǒ xiàng yī piàn luò yè piāo líng I, like a fallen leaf adrift on the wind,

只有回不去的曾经 zhǐ yǒu huí bù qù de céng jīng have only a past to which there is no return.

仿佛早晨田间一朵野花 fǎng fú zǎo chén tián jiān yī duǒ yě huā As if it were a wildflower in the fields from the morning,

这记忆也在凋零 zhè jì yì yě zài diāo líng this memory is withering too.

请你 qǐng nǐ Please,

一点点向我靠近 yī diǎn diǎn xiàng wǒ kào jìn little by little, come close to me;

哪怕一步的距离 nǎ pà yī bù de jù lí even the distance of one step,

留我在孤单里 liú wǒ zài gū dān lǐ leaves me in this loneliness.

只要你愿意 zhǐ yào nǐ yuàn yì So long as you are willing,

你也会感到我的真心 nǐ yě huì gǎn dào wǒ de zhēn xīn you can feel my heart too.

看 那晨光 kàn   nà chén guāng Look - the light of dawn

已来临 yǐ lái lín has come.

Original English Verses:

Sunlight through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower, as the dawn is breaking The memory is fading

It's so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
