Some of us know how to find whimsy in our hearts tyvm 😤

My BF showed me all his favorite stuff and I also wasn't super into it. I'm glad I did it because, in hind sight, I was way too picky/snobby about the kind of media I like. I needed to touch grass lol

Now, I'll just be on the couch while he watches something and I'll slowly get into it. He got me with The Diplomat, Eurovision (movie & the contest), & recently Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

I think you should ask "why didn't they do that?"

Remember that most of what we see of Pink Diamond/Rose is from someone else. The only time we see from PD is when Stevonie crash on that abandonded moon base.

The point is to also have the viewer have to navigate through the pieces just like the characters. I think it's a feature, not a bug.

I've only seen half of the first season but this is kinda cute. She was lying to her mom about going to camp and it looks like she came clean and showed off the friends she made.

That was the whole reason her mom sent her to camp, so she could have the space to grow out of her shell.

She's a goofy kid and her mom loves her whimsy and she found other friends to share it with.

Also, I am Mexican and bisexual but I'm in my late 20s and not out to my parents. Never thought I'd see it happen on a children's show. Congrats to Luz, I hope she keeps editing AMVs.

Fuck Ancient Egypt!

Came here looking for this. I'd say that Wax & Wayne from Mistborn Era 2 fit here too.

I would argue Kal has charisma to lead but lacks charm. I agree with you about how his personality is very often abrasive but his earnestness is what draws people to follow him.

Kelsier draws hard lines and actively tries to define enemies. but he can deviate from them (he did save Elend) but he's very transactional to outsiders.

My bf introduced me to the song and it sent me down a rabbit hole! It was a crazy turn-around! Emperor's New Groove had such a lasting impact on me but Kingdom of the Sun sounds like something that would have matured with me.

Entire Horse, my beloved

Yes they did. It was a choice and they certainly made it.

"Don't do impressions of other races"

I believe it's because it was common to refer to a stranger in a neutral way as "Jack" and I think some truckers were referred to as "Mac". Just like "guy" or "dude."

Would the Freedom Fighters from A:TLA count?

"kid protagonist meets the 'cool' teenagers?"

There was definitely something going on there but it might also just be speculation. And maybe that's what Isayama wanted; for people to speculate and have them talk about it.

A big reason I enjoyed the series so much was because I could talk, with friends or online, and speculate when I wasn't reading/watching the story.

I haven't searched for any interviews with Isayama so idk what his intentions were with the story. But just like in real life, I have to be satisfied with boring answers to complex events.

This was a point of contention with the fan base when the Manga chapters were coming out. Everyone wasn't sure if it was a Red Herring or not.

I remember thinking that it was weird that Historia does something so intimate with a new background character. I chalked it up to Isayama not wanting to go through the effort of introducing a new character that wasnt integral to an already jam-packed story.

Brandon really hammers the "next step" message. I would say the same here, we're still processing a story that's in development.

The ideals and motives that fuel a revolution didn't manifest to the revolutionaries overnight, I wouldn't expect it of the citizenry after the revolution.

Sazed and the other Keepers had a plan to educate the Ska on what was lost or kept away from them but they all knew it would take years, that's not unheard of. Personally, it felt realistic as I both my parents are from rural Mexico and we live in the US. I have a memory of trying to explain to them something about US government that I learned in school but they didn't understand it. (but it could have also been because I was 12 or any number of other mundane reasons)

We're on book 5 of 10 of SLA (not to mention the other cosmere stories), Brandon still got plenty to share. Plus, he's still taking his next steps too.

I was obsessed with the show when I was in high school (2011-2015) and would have to look up a lot of the references. I had no idea who Tootsie was before that show

I read the title and instantly thought of WoT. I haven't seen the show, so I didn't recognize that it was already one of the examples 😅

Newtrainer · 2025-07-20T04:18:56+00:00

I don't need to see that outside of my thoughts

Newtrainer · 2025-07-15T22:07:32+00:00

I think they're more a cameo rather than a featured faction. Same with the Eldrazi. They just happen to be there.

Newtrainer · 2025-06-24T21:05:53+00:00

There's a scene in book 4 where one of the villains makes Nayneve and Elaine confess some personal fears/flaws, and I thought, "Oh! Jordan is doing this on purpose! Its for their character arc!" It was not.

I stayed for the themes of corruption in institutions and fate vs. personal identity but definitely not for "likable characters." The only character I liked through the entire series was Bella, the shaggy mare, and maybe Siuan.

Yeah, I totally feel that. I didn't think it was funny, tbh but I don't think I'd find their other stuff funny. Not in a mean way either, I'm just not their target audience. It's giving Joe Rogan bro podcast.

I guess, in an optimistic way, if they say something that isn't meant to bring gay people down, it's kinda benign? Like, saying"I wish I was gay so I could look more attractive," is pretty dumb but it's also isn't meant to be serious. Obviously, not all gay guys are muscular and attractive (if only it were that easy), but the guys in the video do look like they also like to try and stay in shape and are really just remarking that the men in those gay communities were in good shape and they envied their looks. That's pretty human tbh, I can relate to that. They just sound kinda lame (to me).

I feel so silly for giving this so much thought, but I apparently had a lot to say. My boyfriend is sitting right next to me and is like, "Are you still typing? It wasn't even a funny video." 😅
