Dinamismo Pueril

Degradante reflexo das águas mortas; tendem a me encontrar nas lavas do desgosto. Obsidiana feita das lágrimas tórridas de um tempo antigo, por injustiça do não reconhecimento se fazem infames aos novos pilares do E’eu. Por intuitos de evolução desfiz da velha amargura que me cercava, porém, ainda veem um aspecto irreal do meu exterior hoje, onde meu cosmos não mais tende agredir ou deferir adagas aos de mais caio a curva do não entender, o entristecer da alma e o degradar da esperança. Minhas forças para compreender algo tão incongruente aos meus olhos e mesmo aos que me acolhem. A algo errado dentre os anseios alheios e a ação que os mesmos expressam. Apesar de me fazer firme ao que tende a decair ainda sou uma humana; com aspectos próprios sumo aos devaneios de que nada será possível, de que o mundo está contra mim ou que de nada vale prosseguir, em paralelo a isso tenho em mente da ansiedade que me faço ter, sobre a teoria das coisas com seus reais motivos e suas supostas soluções, resoluções essas beiradas ao simples, mas ao terem contato com a fórmula seu resultado se espatifa no chão se repartindo ao ar em mil e um pedaços. Estou em meu caminhar, não é o dos mais simples eu diria, mas ainda a passos curtos estou pronta para aprender e modular minhas camadas. Pela tendência incessante de anos na melancolia e me afundar ao Poço Das Lamentações, ainda possuo fragmentos emocionais dos delírios do fim, perspectivas externas se tornam mais confusas e oscilantes em “está tudo bem” e “parece que nada vai dar certo”, onde apesar de vir a tristeza que me consumiria estou apta a mim mesma a aprender a lidar e mesmo não lidar, encontrando dentre a luta fria e os belos jardins que planto no meu interior um meio neutro de suportar e analisar. Creio que tudo é de certo progressivo e de nada vale a pressa, caminho caminho e se preciso pararei para então respirar. -Hta.Neumann

"Fuck America. Fuck America."

Fucking leave America you ungrateful little bastards. If this is your stance. If you hate America this much - LEAVE. Now. Yesterday. Go to the places you venerate so much in your moronic chants of "Yemen Yemen you make us proud" and "Iran you make us proud". Experience those regimes on your own fucking skins and stop belittling the experiences of people who risked everything, who risked their lives to escape them. You should be fucking grateful you were born in America every single fucking day. You should be grateful for the freedoms you have and stop playing at oppression. Being oppressed isn't a cutesy fun experience you disgusting immature embarassments for humanity. You know what being oppressed is like?

In Russia you can be arrested for standing on a sidewalk with a blank sheet of paper. You can be arrested for printing out a portion of your own country's constitution. You can be arrested for openly insulting the government and opposing the war Putin started to fulfill his imperial ambitions. You can be arrested for saying Crimea belongs to Ukraine. You can be arrested for writing "No to vobla" in chalk. You can be arrested for anti war graffiti. You can have your daughter be put in solitary confinement for drawing an anti war picture in class while you yourself are kidnapped and secretly put away in prison. You can be arrested for liking the wrong post on social media, or leaving the wrong comment. You can be arrested for taking a picture in front of a church in case you somehow "offend the feelings of the religious". A little girl can be harassed by police for wearing blue and yellow ribbons in her hair while you yourself can be arrested for wearing blue and yellow clothes. You can be arrested for wearing rainbow earrings. You can be arrested for "promoting LGBTQ" (basically you're arrested just for being LGBTQ, or if you're suspected of being LGBTQ). You can be stopped at the airport and questioned and your phone searched for any anti war content. As a woman you can't defend yourself if someone tries to hurt you. You can be charged with "exceeding self defense" if you dare harm your assailant. The police will look the other way if you experience domestic abuse. Women and girls are regularly sent back to their relatives in Chechnya where they are abused and honor killed. Human rights advocates are imprisoned and sometimes even murdered. Families of those who vocally oppose the government are harassed and threatened. And all of this isn't even a complete list because the list of what goes on here is fucking endless. And in places like Iran it gets even WORSE.

It's not cute. It's not fun. You stupid little shits will start crying the moment you experience true oppression and run back to "evil fascist America" faster than I can say "I told you so".

dressing Billy up as the Terminator and never having him turn into an ally T2 style... the waste. the frustration.

[lilithfairen]

I didn't bother doing a post on the previous episode of Fixing RWBY, but I can sum it up in two points:

Celtic Phoenix at one point makes a (pretty witty) joke about Pyrrha's bedroom being "spartan" in style. This is then ruined by him saying that he can't make many jokes because he's "streamlining" the volume. This is said during an episode of events that are entirely of his own creation and do absolutely nothing to further the plot whatsoever, continuing this trend of grinding the plot to a complete halt in Argus.

The episode focuses on JNR and Roman/Neo, and highlights the fact that Celtic Phoenix doesn't write groups of friends as squabbling assholes who can't get along for five seconds when those groups don't consist of multiple women. (Reminder: Celtic Phoenix added wholly-unnecessary and stupid drama between Nora and Pyrrha in his rewrite of the Beacon arc, creating hostility specifically and solely between the two women of Team JNPR.)

Now that we've gone through that, Episode 17 is about Team RWBY trying to get their friendship back on track! Because remember, streamlining! (Also this entire arc of Team RWBY being Women Can't Get Along is entirely of this misogynistic asshole's creation.)

Anyway, Ruby starts off by talking about how much fun she had with Team RNJR, continuing the trend of Ruby treating RNJR as more of her Real Team than RWBY. Ruby decides they'll all go to the beach!

Except it's freezing out, as the others point out.

Celtic Phoenix really has This Thing for writing the main protagonist of a series focused on female characters as a complete fucking idiot, and I have a solid idea why.

Anyway, afterwards they go to a cafe to warm Ruby up. Weiss whines about Yang drinking her tea hot, because again, Celtic Phoenix being a stupid fucking misogynist. Weiss offers to pay, but then passes the bill to Ruby, and somehow a bunch of drinks at a cafe are super expensive. This makes total sense.

Ruby then says that they can't go shopping afterwards then, so they go to a nightclub. In the middle of the day, when it's empty. Ruby messes up her dance and hurts herself, which makes all of her friends laugh at her(!!!). Yang calls Ruby "Rubes", which makes it even less subtle that Celtic Phoenix ripped off plot details from Volume 9 for his shitty rewrite.

They have a good time, and mock Weiss for not being able to dance(!!!). Somehow Ruby thought their day went poorly, probably because her friends haven't stopped being Women Can't Get Along. But then there's an alert from Cordovin!

They race over to find a bunch of Grimm having broken through the wall, plus a bunch of sliced-up soldiers and Huntsmen. Guess who, it's Adam! So Team RWBY run away from him on their vehicles.

Yes. Because literally the only fucking way Celtic Phoenix can make Adam intimidating is to treat the main heroines of the show as being utterly helpless against him.

And Adam chases after them. On foot, jumping from car to car. Their plan is to lure him to the military base. There's a fight scene, Adam gets unmasked and Weiss is made to care about this psycho piece of shit Celtic Phoenix wants you to care, he then kicks everyone's ass, and then he gets unceremoniously taken out by Cordovin with a cattle prod.

Really.

So, let us repeat: This guy who is so badass that Team RWBY flees in terror at the sight of him and is so badass that he can 1v4 them has been effortlessly taken out by

one drunk guy

one little old lady

But our protagonists aren't allowed to stand a chance against him.

Probably because they aren't a.) military, written by an alt-right POS or b.) men, written by a misogynistic POS.

And all of this is so desperate to make Adam this unstoppable hyper-badass who's so psychopathic and yet somehow you should feel empathy for him because his mom was abused. Celtic Phoenix so desperately wants Adam to be a badass that he proceeds to write him as an entirely uninteresting and pathetic antagonist. He just shows up to be an asshole, that's literally it. If Celtic Phoenix thinks Adam is somehow sympathetic by letting a swarm of monsters into an inhabited city, then Celtic Phoenix himself might very well be a psychopath too.

Volume 6 knew well enough to leave Adam until the end, because it understood tension and drama. It understood that Adam was a terrifying antagonist not because he was more powerful than Team RWBY combined, but because of the kind of hateful, abusive, obsessed psychopath he was. It allowed him to appear at the most dramatic moment possible, ambushing Blake when she was solo and vulnerable. He was pathetic as a person, yet terrifying in his desperation to harm and abuse Blake and Yang, and being strong in the ways Adam was weak was how Blake and Yang overcame him.

Here? Adam is a boring psycho who just shows up whenever Celtic Phoenix wants him to, everyone acts like he's the most badass person in existence, the titular heroines are reduced to helplessness in order to make him look threatening, and then he gets his ass kicked in the most anticlimactic, unfulfilling manner possible.

Because Celtic Phoenix is an incredibly shitty writer.

💀: If you had to choose one major character to die [in Critical Role (any campaign/series)], who would you choose?

You know I realized I answered the last one as if it were asking about PCs but actually, because this isn't Actual Play specific, it just says major character. Anyway Ludinus Da'leth's grave is a gender neutral bathroom.

「大妹，呢本書呢原來好多料爆㗎！」

“Dai-mui*, this magazine actually has so much juicy gossip!”

*Dai-mui is not actually her name, more a nickname used within (the character's) family.

「嗰個李吸塵*呀原來同佢女朋友同居咗三年㗎嘞！」

“That Vacuum* Lee has actually been cohabiting with his girlfriend for 3 years already!”

* 李吸塵 (pron. Lei⁵ Kap¹ Can⁴ — 李 can sound like 你 nei⁵, meaning “you”, and 吸塵 means “suck dust”, so this joke name means, “you suck dust”) is a pun on singer/actor Hacken Lee's Chinese name 李克勤 (pron. Lei⁵ Hak¹ Kan⁴).

The actual spoken dialogue was on point but the subs actually got the pun wrong! orz 😹 吸 should've been used in place of 克 for the joke to have been effective in Cantonese!

「仲有呀，嗰個撈麵*呀一氣買五疊樓呀！」

“And that Lo Mein*, buying 5 properties in one go!”

* 撈麵 (pron. Lo¹/Lo⁴ Min⁶ — a type of Chinese noodle dish, more commonly known to Westerners/globally as Lo-mein) is a pun on actor Lo Mang's name, 羅莽 (pron. Lo⁴ Mong⁵).

「仲有嗰個郭小人*呀住喺佢哋樓下呀嘛！」

“And that Petty Kwok* is living in the same apartment block as them both right?!”

* 郭小人 (pron. Kwok³ Siu² Jan⁴ — 小人, which literally means “small person” can mean an “ungracious and petty person”) is a pun on actress Florence Kwok's Chinese name 郭少芸 (pron. Kwok³ Siu² Wan⁴).

↑ L: Hacken Lee, R: Lo Mang, both also star in this series.
