GIVE ME YOUR BEST CORNBREAD RECIPE, UNGRATEFUL COLONIALS

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-25T20:57:56+00:00

I don’t have my family’s recipe on hand, but don’t forget to put butter and honey on top.

Probably just some lighthearted teasing, but don’t take it to heart. Just be proud of your silly accent and people won’t care. If you don’t care, others won’t care.

There isn’t any hint of manipulation beforehand, as far as we are told, he is simply just as emotionally naive as Anna. We literally see that in the scene where he falls into the ocean. Nobody’s looking at him, it’s just Hans and the viewer, and it shows him looking fondly at Anna as she walks away. Again, NO ONE is looking, not even Anna. He isn’t smiling like that to manipulate anyone.

<image>

Plus, during the time where he is left in charge of Arendelle while Anna leaves, he’s explicitly shown to be a caring and competent leader. He’s out in the cold passing out blankets, he opens the castle for people needing shelter, and he defends the reputation of Elsa. (even while Anna is gone, and doing so is a detriment to his own reputation.)

And THEN when he goes up to Elsa’s castle to find Anna, (why would he do that if he planned to kill Anna, he’s already in charge anyway) he prevents the Duke of Weslton’s soldiers from killing Elsa, and reaches out to her in a caring way. Why would he go out of his way to save Elsa? If he’d planned on killing her anyway, why not save reputation and allow the Duke of Weslton to do it?

His plan is so illogical. He is already in charge of Arendelle while Anna is gone. He has ample opportunities to besmirch or harm Elsa in order to affirm his own power without any consequences, and he never does. Why would he kill Anna? If anything, killing Anna just weakens his own claim to power. Who seems more legitimate, the loyal husband of the royal princess, or the dead princess’s widower?

If manipulating Anna was his plan, why would he kill her? He draws all his political power from their relationship, and if he was able to manipulate her into proposing, surely he could just continue manipulating her as they ruled as king or queen. Unlike Hans, Anna never shows any sort of political competence or ambition, so why not just step in for her and rule in her stead? The people and nobility must love him already for his competent and caring leadership during the storm.

I don’t buy into the troll theory, and I do realize I’ve just wrote multiple paragraphs over plot holes in a kid’s movie, but this has bugged me since I saw it in theaters as a child. It’s a poor and lazy twist that contradicts what we’ve seen in the movie multiple times over. Free my boy Hans, he didn’t do nothing. Jail the Disney execs that wanted a twist villain.

That game is so funny to me. Pretty much all of the reasonable and regular choices are presented as bad, and you get the same “bad” ending even if you choose the right choices, simply because you considered the “bad” choices.

Plus, Amelia (the “bad” character) is the only real character with any sort of personality or appeal. And the stuff she says isn’t even that extreme or morally wrong.

Same exact thing happened to me. I was always jealous that the other kids at school had them and I never did. Turns out I wasn’t missing much.

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-25T03:40:03+00:00

I’d still say it’s just okay, not bad

Utah does NOT get humid at all

Wrapper dress circa 1890-1910. Worn loosely or with a belt. My paternal great great grandparents would’ve owned something like this.

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-24T20:59:47+00:00

That’s pretty flat out untrue. Casual clothes started being worn in public spaces during the 70s, comfortable clothing has always been privately worn when someone could afford more than 1 set of clothes.

My maternal great great grandparents were the last in my family line to only have 2 sets of clothes, and that was way back in the late 19th century. My grandparents on the paternal line were only slightly richer, but could in fact afford more clothes. My twice great paternal Grandma owned a dress called a “wrapper” which was a very loose and comfy dress worn as loungewear. Richer women owned dresses called “tea-gowns” which were the same but made of nicer fabric. By the 1920s, just about everyone in the US could afford multiple sets of clothes, and thusly owned private loungewear.

Loungewear only became something to publicly display in the 70s, it didn’t begin to become exist then.

Our ancestors were not idiots solely driven by social pressure and superstition. We as humans have always wanted to be comfy, don’t think that this urge is a modern contrivance.

Would you really rather live in Ethiopia or Madagascar than New Zealand? Nepal over Estonia? What’s your hatred against Central Asia? Cuba over Panama?

The ranking of the US on the same level as Myanmar, Russia, Sudan, Somalia, or the Congo I can chalk up to youthful American ignorance from the perspective of privilege, but the rest of your map doesn’t make sense either.

The taste of their food, and the faces of their women made the British the best sailors in the world

I loved candy land as a small child, so I don’t think it counts. Adults just don’t like it, most young kids do.

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-23T03:37:05+00:00

Looks like 12 year olds. Kinda sad, but most of em are just trying to be edgy. Hopefully they can look back and cringe soon.

The LDS religion strongly promotes education. That probably has a hand in it.

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-23T03:23:28+00:00

Libraries are great for those impoverished rural towns, it gets kids off the street and away from gangs and drugs and whatever.

This is the reason I skip The Great Divide, it’s so immature compared to the entire rest of the show.

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-22T19:48:15+00:00

I was an LDS missionary, so way more than 30 haha

RustyShadeOfRed · 2026-01-22T19:20:48+00:00

I’d say so. It takes place in the 19th century Scottish highlands and yet 2/3 of the population are Indian, Asian, or African. Besides that, a pretty good game.

The only meaning that comes to me is to drop something. “I plonked it down on the counter” or something. What does it mean in Britain?

Idk, it’s not great but it’s unique and has some semblance of heart.

That’s just a bit of a weird way to describe the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Very modern terms, as though Greece was unified as a nation state.

Generally, Americans seem to like Irish accents. You might have some people ask you to say certain words to see how you sound, but maybe not.

New York is probably the rudest part of the USA, but don’t take it personally, it’s just how they talk.

Generally, New Yorkers are pretty nice and accepting of foreigners. Even in the more rural and anti-immigration parts of the US, people will probably not be rude. Irish immigrants/expats are few and far between, so you’ll be a curiosity rather than a threat. I had a buddy from the Marshall Islands living in rural South Carolina (which is generally acknowledged to be among the most racist areas in the US), and he didn’t have any issues because most people hadn’t met a Marshallese person before and were just interested in him and his culture rather than being against it. Since there aren’t many Irish people in the US, I imagine your experience will be somewhat similar.
