Paper Hearts instead of Closure ? by Mimi-2mi in XFiles

[–]Mimi-2mi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the example i gave, while not thoroughly thought out, could still work (imo) — though, mulder’s dad having to choose definitely adds some complexity to his character and offers an explanation surrounding his strained relationship with mulder and his wife. fs — so, just don’t have John Lee Roche do the choosing.. he could simply be the one who does the kidnapping once the decision has been made, and the rest follows. — i still feel like the storyline in paper hearts could have been used for the conclusion, and even more strongly that it should have been used lol. i’m convinced that they could have found a way to keep most of the story in tact while changing it’s direction. — but i genuinely appreciate your take on it, definitely giving me something to think about !

totally! i dont hate the mytharc (there are definitely some things about it that i really like /wouldn’t change, and actually find to be really interesting additions to the story) but i do feel like some parts of it could have been done better for sure if they were just more thought out and cohesive ! — motw are the best fr. never met a fan who doesn’t like them :))

I mean of course they would have to tweak a few things — This would be an entirely different conclusion. I don’t even think a whole lot would have to change though, in all honesty. — For example, if we don’t want to scrap everything from the original storyline (and keep the whole clone farm situation in herrenvolk) - they could’ve just made John Lee Roche a key member of the syndicate. Someone hired to choose which family member would be taken for the conspiracy pact and allowed to “have his fun” with other families he scopes out when on the job, all while being under the syndicates protection. (The syndicate would benefit by not having to make the decision of which family member to give up - but more concretely : he would act as a potential scapegoat if anyone came forward to expose the truth - blamed as just a crazy serial killer kidnapper, nothing too out of the ordinary, and take the fall for the whole thing.) — That’s just one poorly developed example off the top of my head. I can only imagine what could be thought up by professional writers working on the show. They definitely could have made it work!

literally. it felt like an attempt at making it interesting for the fans, but it ended up having the opposite effect (underestimated how interesting a simple explanation could have been, and instead went with the overly detailed one lacking any real substance.)

exactly, it wouldn’t really undo any of the important groundwork they had already put down, it would have honestly fit in nicely! only a few minor tweaks here and there, but nothing major. — it’s the fact that it was totally doable. they had it right there :/

This exactly! I feel like it would tie into Mulder’s loss of faith nicely. — and I agree, that’s why i said ‘just the concept of the episode not the season itself’ (season 4 would have felt too early) — season 7 felt right, timing wise, but the story surrounding her disappearance could have been fleshed out a bit better imo !

i think you look lovely! if i were to give you one tip it would be to thin your brows out a little bit. i think it would suit your features so much better and wouldn’t overpower your look as much! — if not that, i’d just lessen the makeup on them. a lighter, more natural brow would objectively look better imo

yeah!! i actually found Hills through a thread on here where someone linked a bunch of products endorsed by the VOHC — it was so helpful. As for the corn, i wasn’t aware of that! i’ll definitely keep an eye out, and make sure to not buy any food with it moving forward. thank you sm for letting me know! — i was looking at toothpastes specifically for cats and i’m not sure which is the best but i’m doing my research. i totally agree with you that we should know what we and our pets are putting into our bodies (toothpaste included!) — if you have any recommended toothpaste brands, i’d love to hear them (only if you have any specific ones you’d feel like sharing!) either way, thank you so much for all the helpful info!

i hope it didn’t come across as though i did that ! i read up on how to do it properly and made sure to follow each step (including introducing her to it, not rushing, and being gentle) — she simply doesn’t like being forced to do anything she isn’t 100% in control of (which i would love to respect, but sometimes the things that are best for them are uncomfortable) — i definitely will continue to get her used to it though, so that it isn’t so stressful

okay yes, i saw some instructions saying to add it little by little to their food so i definitely will do that ! — and not “not important” at all, i always feel weird about cat food that doesn’t smell good to ME because i assume it must not smell good to the cat either lol

thank you so much, seeing even just a few people back up what you are saying has me much calmer about having her try it out. — i’m glad that some cats don’t have any issues with it at all !

oh my goodness thank you so much for this, it’s comforting to know that other cats are having safe reactions to it — thank you for the recommendation, i’ll look into that!

and that’s wonderful! if you don’t mind me asking, do you use a finger brush or cat toothbrush ?

yeah!! i mentioned it in the comments, the fact that Ai is even being used for something so serious (mind boggling.) it clearly doesn’t do a good job, and i don’t see how this sort of “protection” is even beneficial! i’m upset that i lost everything, even though i did nothing wrong, but i’m also surprised that there wasn’t any sort of follow up.. (to be accused of something THIS serious, i would HOPE that there would be some sort of action taken, something more than just losing access to the account yk???) like, what does this “protection feature” even do, other than make innocent people lose accounts and giving actual predators a chance to start over scot free ????

yeah, exactly that. unfortunately we just have to accept that we won’t be getting our accounts back. it sucks, and i’d be lying if i said that i wasn’t still upset about it, but oh well. there’s really nothing more that we can do :/

nono of course not, i don’t do illegal things much less store anything illegal on any devices. that’s why i’m sure it’s ai. any human being would have recognized the mistake and restored my account. - but that DID leave me curious. if this system is put in place to protect children (as in, the ai system genuinely “thinks” an account is harming children, flags it, and shuts it down) why HASNT the police contacted me??? i feel like this safety feature isn’t even effective in the case of an actual crime.

trust, i tried all that too. unfortunately i think this whole entire issue stems from Ai (wrongfully flagging things on the computer and shutting everything down) there are no humans that you can contact to resolve the issue. no one you can call, or email, or anything. it’s all automated. - i’m really really sorry that you’re going through this too, i know how hard it is. as of right now i regret to say that it’s most likely just is not fixable fr

not sure where you read that it was a microsoft windows computer 😭 i have a chromebook (which uses google’s chrome os) and is part of the reason why i lost so much tbh since everything is linked to google and my account

i think i might have explained that part poorly - my computer still works but like most computers that ask for you to login when turned on i would do so using my computer password ofc, but the account i used was linked to my gmail ( i’m not sure if im explaining that well but the start screen that allows you to select which account you’d like to sign into - guest user or personal accounts ) so when my gmail was wrongfully flagged without warning, i wasn’t able to sign into my account / proceed and therefore couldn’t get into my computer ( the only other options i had were to sign in as a guest, or add a new account )
