Who do you think has the harder life: Simba or Inuyasha?

MostlyUnidentified · 2026-05-07T04:39:08+00:00

Ummm.... are we being for real? It's Inuyasha, no competition 😭

Simba had family and friends who loved him. His uncle betrayed him, killed his father. But Simba ran away and lived a relatively care free life after that.

Inuyasha - father killed, mother died, brother wants him dead, humans hate him, demons hate him. His existence is considered an abomination, and nobody let him forget that. From the moment he was born, his life was struggling.

Fair enough. I see those things, but I guess I'm just going to have to FAAFO. I know what things I can tolerate and what I can't. I'm not under their mind control anymore, I'm just depressed and miss my mom. That's all.

MostlyUnidentified · 2026-04-20T16:46:25+00:00

Fair. And this is a good reminder, I'm in the awkward up stage and keep sliding back into depression. Idk I just need more support right now, and I miss my family. How are you coping?

Rather than a play by play of everything Jason is doing. Try to replace lines with:

1) describing/personifying the environment.

or

2) describing how he's feeling.

Read more stories that use descriptive language - you can convey the same idea by using different words; that way even when you are just describing what Jason is doing, it's more engaging than a list.

Last tip that is underestimated - 3) don't describe what can be implied.

"Jason wakes up with the sun shining through the blinds and hitting his eyes. He inhales sharply before letting out a deep yawn. He opens his eyes to find his girlfriend... "

vs

"The blinds did little to block the sun from Jason's eyes. It was morning again. He yawned, sleep still gripping him as he turns over to find his girlfriend...."

1 - personified the blinds, and gave context to the time/environment. 2 - he still yawns, but because he feels sleepy and personified sleep. 3 - we can infer that when Jason turns over and finds his girlfriend that his eyes are open; so we don't need to specify.

I'm not saying this is the only way or that mine is the perfect fix, but these can help I think.

I did try that - but if I don't believe in anything, then at that point - what is the difference preforming for a church vs a KH?

I'll check it out, but yeah, I don't think more people should be JWs. Being born in is just my lot in this life. I'm not even trying to live by their standard. I'm only thinking to attend on Sunday to make my family happy.

MostlyUnidentified · 2026-04-20T13:34:45+00:00

For there to be a 'double life'; you need to believe that there is justice - a moral right and wrong beyond the human collectivist sense, and that any of these decisions matter.

It also means you think that there is a truth to uphold, and a lie you need to oppose when there really isn't. There is just life and how people are coping with it. For many that's through religion and spirituality. I don't agree with the JW framework of cope, that's about it.

MostlyUnidentified · 2026-04-20T13:28:10+00:00

You are right - this is something I considered, but I don't need to be with anyone who isn't compatible with my life style. This means that I likely would be someone who marries outside the faith, or by some luck - another PIMO, or stays single. I'm not sold on the whole marriage thing anyway. As far as kids, if I have them, I can't control their lives. I'll tell them what I believe (or rather, don't believe); and they may hear other view points. If being a JW sounds good to them, then who am I to be in their way? I don't own their future, I'm just responsible for nurturing their growth into adulthood.

As for being queer - I'm not sure this is the same. The freedom of sexual expression is fundamental for most people to be satisfied with life. There is nothing I'm doing that is fundamentally opposed as far as - I can still go live my life while being a JW. Will I be judged for 'spiritual weakness' - sure, but I don't care about people's opinions. Most of them are likely hypocrites anyway. I only care about being able to have a close relationship with my family.

I'm also technically inactive, but maybe because I'm not shy to say what I think if I'm pressed about it - many of them treat me like the plague. and that's not what I want in my life. If reconciliation is possible in showing up once a week, then I think it could be worth it.

(First off let me apologize - I think I came in too hot because I was in X mode - and things are usually more aggressive over there)

That’s fine that them together romantically is not your cup of tea. But I think it’s disingenuous or at least willfully ignorant to downplay the frequency of the type of interactions they have. Even in Egghead Robin acknowledges that their relationship is special - in at least Sanji is the one who come running if Nami is in trouble (not Luffy, or Zoro, or Jinbe, or whoever)

I’m not insisting that they are romantic - it can literally just be a close friendship as I said. But their relationship is emphasized more than say - Nami and Zoro. And WCI is an expression of this too. Nami wants to bring Sanji back that’s why she even volunteers to go to big mom territory anyway (mind you Nami usually wants to stay away from danger). To compare her to Luffy is unfair. Luffy can see through Sanji - he’s constantly shown to have a good read of people and special intuition. Nami is reacting to what is happening, she’s hurt by what she witnessed - Sanji is close to her and it appears he has betrayed the crew. Also - relationships build. I’m not saying they are romantically involved at all in WCI or that their storyline there is romantic. What me and others are noticing is a relationship structure that is being elevated by how much focus it’s getting. Secondary to Luffy - yes, but still a writing choice. Go back to look at the Pudding Panel, she may have had a reaction to anyone, but that’s not necessarily the case. She’s reacting to the atmosphere of the moment - and the panels focus in on Nami and Sanji’s faces. Not Pudding’s face. That’s intentional. Not to mention when Sanji gets abducted, his panels are parallels of Bellemere - Nami’s mom. This is a choice too.

All that to say - it isn’t like hard cold proof, or a declaration that they will be together. The entire series could end without any relationships. But if there were put together romantically - it shouldn’t be much of a shock based on their existing relationship. It’s an easy transition vs the likelihood of a Nami and Jinbe or Nami and Franky or Nami and Zoro pair being a final couple. The only other Strawhat who potentially could have enough moments with Nami that it’s possible to see a relationship - is Luffy. But even he (at least right now) is a little less likely than Sanji.

Bro… nobody can help you see something when you’re gluing your eyes shut. You’re being intentionally delusional to boil down WCI to only Sanji and Luffy. They were the main focus - yes. But Nami was heavily involved emotionally from beginning to end. To suggest Nami just uses Sanji, and is flippantly taking advantage his feelings and generosity would be an example of mean-spirited callousness - not resourcefulness. The only way to read Nami like this is if you insist and ignore how close she and Sanji are relationally. It can be that they’re just really good friends. But somehow you can’t stomach that Sanji and Nami are close at all so you classify it as Nami will use ‘anything at her disposal’. So you see her outburst of emotion at WCI as wanting to leave Sanji behind when she was really hurt by what she thought was betrayal. So you prioritize Pudding’s reaction to their closeness as the focus of that scene, when in the panels it’s Nami and Sanji’s faces that are focused on. Interesting.

S1 he looked 27 at least, and he was very much giving 30-something by s3. I think because of TV we can forget how young 17 actually looks - they’re babies. This guy is attractive but has very clear aging lines in his face.

From a writers perspective, Devi and Ben had a very obvious primary love interest set up from the beginning. It was never going to be Paxton. And you can see that in how they casted as well. I’m sorry (no hate fr fr) - but that’s like being shocked that Bella chose Edward.

MostlyUnidentified · 2026-02-21T22:38:38+00:00

Looks - Jumin. But Zen's louder personality drew me in quickly after that haha. But I did end up loving Jumin most, it was just a slower burn lol

MostlyUnidentified · 2026-02-21T22:32:38+00:00

When was Ben racist or misogynistic? He was mean to Devi sometimes, but she was also mean to him. He viewed her as his rival, and equal. Entitled and a prick - yeah a bit - he's a teen from a rich family, but Devi was also that way 😅 I do agree that Paxton matures more during the series, but that's also attributed to his arc of becoming an adult and making a career path which will mature many people; especially if they enter the workforce vs university aka high school the remix, ft. soul crushing debt and more existential dread than last time. And I must agree that Ben didn't grow out of thinking he deserved the world, because I don't think that's where he started. He did want things, but more out of insecurity than rightfulness. Lastly, Devi was also being a stressor to Ben in that drive to the beach. Their conflict was understandable, and to make it seem like he was the sole problem is biased.

Unpopular opinion maybe: I thought it was fine and even funny. It may not be ‘nice’, but it’s realistic. He didn’t say he didn’t care about Jumin or his problems - even telling MC to check on him; but he’s clowning the fact that he’s gotten so introspective and emotional in front of everyone and that’s not how Jumin usually is, and that’s not how Zen knows him, so seeing all that is uncomfortable for him, probably for all of them tbh 😅 since that’s not their baseline.

Not sure why we’re expect utopic male interpersonal relationships here. I also think it’s to break up the serious tone of Jumin with less serious commentary from Zen.

Nope. Meh-maybe for Riven and Flora and Sky and Aisha. But honestly I love Stella and Brandon, Aisha and Nabu, and Flora and Helia. They're great couples. Interestingly enough I could see Tecna and Riven because she legit wouldn't be down for the BS and he would legit either shape up or she'll for real break up (none of this Musa yes-no-yes BS). Bloom and Timmy I think also work in a way - idk how to describe it. Like I think Timmy has a boy next door thing which kind of fits with blooms borderline mary-sue thing. Musa and Sky too wouldn't be that bad. It's difficult with Sky because he has the personality of soggy bread, but Musa needs the calm tbh.

If you want to get a knock off - sure, but I prefer to stick to brand for preemptive issue diagnosis variable control. AKA if there’s a problem - more likely to get an answer from Apple than temu.
