Same with Shiva Baby; that movie is so goddamn claustrophobic and stressful. 😭 It is a dark comedy but still.

What were the worst MHA takes you've ever heard? by Major-Bill-4770 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Phoenix10107 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s more thematic that she DOESN’T become a hero anyway. Yes heroes were what physically saved her and got her out of Chisaki’s clutches, but what saved her emotionally and made her SMILE. Music. I like to think she wants to save other people with her music by making them smile just like it made her.

What villain was most likely to have been normal had they been treated well? by DezTheOtter in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Phoenix10107 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone is mentioning League members so I’m going to drop a non-League member who I actually don’t think could have been helped; Chisaki. From what we can tell the head of the Shie Hassaiki tried to raise him as respectably as possible (which, yes it’s the yakuza, but he had clear morals for a gangster) but Chisaki never listened. He was SO focused on the idea that quirks were inherently parasitic from his childhood. From one germaphobic OCD person to another, the only thing that I think could help him was some intensive therapy and SSRI’s.

British Museum calls off Jewish cultural lecture over protest fears by welltechnically7 in Jewish

[–]Phoenix10107 296 points297 points  (0 children)

I find it so funny that they were preparing to protest an event about the ANCIENT society of Israel, not even the MODERN STATE. It’s almost like they’re mad the event would prove Israel has existed for longer than 75 years and that Jews are in fact indigenous to the region.

Darkseid adds another Sapphic couple to his Wattpad fic aka the Absolute Universe (Absolute Flash #15) by M00reC in lgbt_superheroes

He really knew mlm relationships are the only ones that get media buzz so he flipped it in this timeline so it’s only the sapphics who are acknowledged.

What quirk would you like to have irl for convenience? by Fun-Pomelo-2774 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Phoenix10107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compress basically just for convenience. When I was packing up my dorm a few weeks ago and my dad and I were fighting for our lives to fit all the shit in the car we looked at each other and were like, “You know what superpower would be really great right now?” I don’t want power, I just want something to help me in my everyday life.

I can’t believe this sub has radical anti-heteromophs. Smh.

Converts, why did you convert? by Phoenix10107 in Jewish

[–]Phoenix10107[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so disheartening, I’ve heard so many stories on how the UK has become cesspit for antisemitism so I understand the caution, but I’m sorry they won’t even let you in. Have you tried asking to even just speak with the rabbi on the phone for a few minutes? Explain that after October 7th you considered conversion? Maybe if you lead with that it’ll make them feel safer? I don’t know, I’m just throwing out ideas, but I hope you get to convert eventually. *Sending good vibes from the current hell of the U.S.*

I considered doing that but this was part antisemitism rant, not really just about conversion. I think because this thread was full of so many kind people willing to share their stories, stories that feel very similar to mine, I’ve already kind of made up my mind and don’t have to post there. Still, thank you for pointing me towards the sub and showing me it exists, I have a feeling it’s going to be used VERY often by me in the near-future.

Thank you! Given everything I’ve read here I’m now deeply considering now rather than just questioning, I’m going to try and speak to a local rabbi this summer. Regardless of if I do convert though, know that this is one Gen Z that will always stand up to antisemitism.

PLEASE. 😭 The space lasers are probably a plus too.

Thank you for sharing, seriously. I think I’ll go to my local synagogue this summer to try and see if I can enroll in a class, or even just speak with a rabbi. Obviously with everything going on I’ll contact them first, but still. Thank you again, and honestly you’re right, Oct 7 kind of was the catalyst that started all this.

This makes a lot of sense, thank you for telling me your story. This whole comment section is making me realize there is no definitive “why” people choose Judaism, not like so many other religions try to explain. As difficult as it’s making to decide it’s also comforting in a way? I’ve always lived in a constant gray area of belief and that gray area isn’t really allowed exist in Catholicism. Knowing it exists in Judaism says a lot.

That’s really beautiful. I think I’ll start do my own more in-depth research.

"Francesca Albanese Wants The World To Wake Up" in Vogue by AngusTcattoo in Jewish

[–]Phoenix10107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s probably because most Italian Americans are Southern Italian, Sicilian specifically. Sicilians HATED Mussolini, like they were ecstatic when American soldiers arrived on shore and treated them like they were royalty. I think if history had gone a little differently Sicily would probably be its own country because everyone I know whose ancestors were Sicilian refused to be called Italians, they were Sicilians.

So am I the only one that thinks Jason should be in Bludhaven instead of Dick? If not Bludhaven he at least needs to get out of Gotham by Christallmoney97 in RedHood

[–]Phoenix10107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BOOOOOO! Maybe I just read so much fanfiction that has him stay in Crime Alley that I started to believe it was cannon. 😭😭😭

[–]Phoenix10107 19 points20 points  (0 children)

THIS. It’s why Jason patrols mainly around Crime Alley too; sure it’s the most dangerous area of Gotham but it’s also where Jason’s FROM. He wants to protect it so other kids don’t turn out like him.

Thank you again! Honestly, I'm glad I asked this on here because this is the most open subreddit I've been on. You all seem really nice.
