#stop the spray

[allthecanadianpolitics]

So there's an Instagram account called Stop the Spray that dedicates itself to putting out info about the use of glyphosate (aka Round-up) as a widespread pesticide, which foresting companies spray in the rare temperate rainforests of BC to kill any plants they deem 'unprofitable', destroying the biodiversity and ecosystem as well as literally poisoning the people, animals and plants (as round-up is considered a carcinogen).

There's currently a petition to the parliament to consider banning the use of round-up. It has until January 13th to get signed, so if you're canadian, please consider signing and sharing! If not, please reblog this post so others can learn + see + sign!

Sign the petition to end Glyphosate Use in 'Canada'

A storytelling moment I love in Glass Onion is the throat spray. It works in the metanarrative as an excuse to not have any of the actors wear masks despite the setting, but it works in story too.

We're assuming this is set in late 2020 due to the Among Us popularity, so we're looking at peak first wave pandemic. The fact Miles has a throat spray that can, through some magic, stop the transmission of Covid for at least 4 days at the height of its spread, and the fact that, evidently, he has made no effort to mass distribute it, means either

1. This thing hasn't passed FDA approval and Miles still felt comfortable giving it to his 'friends', foreshadowing his apathy towards regulation and safety standards with Klear.

2. He's a selfish arsehole.

Both work.

When I came across that "joke" from Tav to Quill and Z'rell's comment (plus Halsin), I had to take a minute to process what happened. Gale might be a bit silly and eccentric but he's the kindest, sweetest and most passionate character in that party. No wonder the poor man has deep insecurities to solve, so many people reduce him to an easy target! Ofc one of the side effects would be overconfidence and ambition as a defense mechanism. He's obv lonely; only Tara and Morena ever loved him for him.

his eccentric nature might be a part of it. he is loquacious, outgoing, and doesn’t see the point in hiding his enthusiasm. he is considered to be the weird one. naturally, wizards in general being seen as somewhat squishy and physically weak might also add to it.

personally, i really don’t like the implications of the (widely considered) autistic-coded character being the one who faces the most ridicule by far by other characters and fans (and larian) alike.

some might disagree with me on that, but i don’t find it funny by any means either. mostly it just makes me feel bad. “he deserves it. cocky, arrogant, hubris-ridden wizard needs to be taken down a peg” like he isn’t… y’know… already at his lowest. it also disregards the fact that much of his bravado is part of his carefully curated Great Wizard of Waterdeep™ persona that he has skillfully adopted to mask his general feeling of being defective. being fiercely proud of your skill and knowledge and being doubtful of having something truly worthwhile to offer are mindsets that can coexist. according to fandom, gale is either secret hubris incarnate that is only waiting to be unleashed upon the world or pure baby that can do no wrong. instead of a character that is just as flawed and traumatized as all the others, but no less deserving of genuine love.

to me, the constant ridicule just reads as further feeding into his deep-rooted insecurities and his belief that he (as gale, the person) isn’t someone who holds inherent worth. it really, really doesn’t sit well with me.

I can just see Steve and Eddie getting into an argument, and they both are so torn up about it because it’s their first BIG fight about something that they don’t even know what it was by the end of it, just that they went their separate ways afterwards. Their friends get both sides of the story when they realize what’s happened, because both of them have been hiding in their respective homes and are irritable, and come to the conclusion it is in fact Eddie’s fault. Robin and the Corroded Coffin boys rag on him like, he HAS to make this right. And he KNOWS, he’s been wallowing in guilt since the fight, so he’s like

“FINE. BUT YOURE GOING TO HELP ME.”

Cut to Steve’s house and he opens the door to see Eddie standing in the rain holding a bouquet of handpicked wildflowers, and theres tears for fears playing?

Only it’s not actually raining.

Instead Eddie holding it himself, picture Gareth on Jeff’s shoulders on one side of the door-holding up the water hose for some added height, and on the other side of the door is Freak dutifully holding a boombox.

Robin is off to the side with a camera gathering blackmail pictures.

It’s me again!

Of the RWBY villains, which one(s) is/are your favorite(s)?

I love when you show up :D

So I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, and this is based off my current knowledge with where I’m at in the series. Honestly, the villains I tend to like are the ones that eventually change their ways, like Hazel and to my surprise Emerald, cause she annoyed me for a bit.

However.

I thought about it some more and I was like. You know. Out of everyone so far. The only guy that’s ever been like a serious threat from start to end is Tyrian. Like he’s just full psychotic and cruel, kills for pleasure. He’s like a rabid lapdog. I see him more a threat than even Cinder.

Pretty scary guy, gotta say.

I can imagine angel having enough and spraying both with water saying "are you cooled off now"

KASKIASKIOSAKIOSA, OH MY GOD-

i think Mommy Long Legs and Catnap are SO offended by that they immediately shut up in horror. They full on expected to be shut up by going into time out (prison) or for Angel to grab them and yeet them out of the house. Not THAT.
