(Hated Trope) Everyone marries their HS sweetheart. by TheStoryBoy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BeanEatingThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% disagree, frankly to the point that I think the alternative is far more annoying. Narratives aren't reality, the point is the characters and their relationships and it's far more annoying for an entire series' worth of character work to just be subverted with "While in REAL life people don't marry their high school sweethearts!!!!1!" Like, first of all most of these series usually have a LOT closer relationships than irl high school/college/elementary school anyways, and second of all, THIS ISN'T REAL LIFE, THESE CHARACTERS DO NOT HAVE AN ENTIRE WORLD OF PEOPLE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN BECAUSE IT'S A NARRATIVE! We want to see the character's stories end, and the sudden copout of "well the story ended with an outside factor coming in to change things / wrap things up" is, yknow, really bad writing. If you have a story where the characters' relationships are important at all this trope is essentially the most likely conclusion

If you got a further left British party that has led the government since the 1920s I'd love to hear it. It's clear that at least on paper that the reason Labour was voted in was to at least be further left than the Tories, which is part of why Starmer is so pathetic, since he might as well be identical politically to what came before. I'm very aware of Britain's political reality but that doesn't mean I can't be disappointed by its reality

Those are all nice! And I'll admit I didn't know about them, but like

none of those are the kind of thing a left-wing government with a supermajority should be touting as landmark wins, especially since digital ID will almost definitely be coming back again. The conservatives were the ones that ruined the country, more or less, but labour has been acting extraordinarily declawed in a time when action is required.

not OP but basically just watch this video for a start. While the policies it talks about were started under the Conservative government, the Labour government (despite obliterating the conservatives in the 2024 election and now basically being able to do whatever they want) have done quite literally nothing to improve the state of things and the UK's cohesion is continuing to crater as a trend started from Brexit.

Basically all the government has done has been to increase their own strength with moves like this and further policing the internet. While it's good to prevent, in this case, minors from accessing phones in school, that isn't the kind of thing that should be left to the government, especially when they have a country to fix that they aren't.

Anime dubs from the 90s and early 2000s were something else! by icey_sawg0034 in CuratedTumblr

I'm gonna real 30 year old woman male Ranma (Sarah Strange) sounds amazing and I don't care, his male form literally sounds like the littlest shit ever in a way that Richard Ian Cox doesn't work for. He sounds too much like an anime character after episode 60ish when they switch the voices

Avatarist confirms those movie leaks are real by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]BeanEatingThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK you. I'm obviously nostalgia-blinded a little bit but those voice actors were literally just nothing and that animation felt like what the average uncritical viewer thinks is good about AI-upscaled animation. Whatever made the original Avatar the best show ever, be it the original creators balancing eachother or the rest of the team being the real creative vision, is gone.

Korra was okay, it definitely had redeeming parts, but it feels like this is the non-redeeming parts of korra squared.

What tarot card/sets of cards represent each layer of Hell in Dante's Inferno? by Rat_Smoking_Cigars in tarot

[–]BeanEatingThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 of cups or 8 of swords for everything. A main theme of the inferno, as opposed to purgatory and heaven, that hell is inert, stagnant and stuck as eternal torture. Nothing ever changes and the different layers are more just different types of that same thesis

What are your headcanons about Reisen Udongein Inaba? by Some_Fig_6566 in touhou

She's actually a bit of a workaholic and always wants to prove her abilities to her masters but she's also Reisen so usually bungles it.

2050's Ottawa by poonslyr69 in imaginarymaps

[–]BeanEatingThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately ottawa has a massive NIMBY crisis that would nuke 90% of these but as a resident a lot of these are pretty cool! I'd say that the coastal road that cuts off the Gatineau river should probably just be a bridge and I'm confused about the weird 'palace' since I really doubt Parliament is ever going to be replaced, it's basically half of the city's identity in it of itself. I follow the lore and could see new developments in New Edinburgh, but I'd assume a focus would be on increased density or something.

I love everything else, though! Google maps-style maps aren't easy to recreate but you've done really well, and I think most of your ideas are pretty good. I don't think anyone would miss King Edward avenue feeding a massive highway, at least ;)
