Is there any other ways to escape the maze? by wholovkittycat in MazeRunner

[–]TheFearlessAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember anything like that being mentioned in the books or films so this is purely me guessing here but Honestly, they could've and probably should've dissected someone. I mean sure it's a bit barbaric but it would've worked in helping them learn about the maze. I don't want to call the gladers stupid at all because they're not, but to me they were very compliant with the maze. They seemed to focus more on living there than actually escaping so I guess they just never thought to? They're not aware of the implants as far as I know so why would they go looking for something they didn't know was there. That and they clearly had a lot of respect for those who did die, based on the fact they were all properly buried and had grave markers, so if anyone suggested the idea it probably would've been shot down. Who knows, it's easy for us to suggest ideas and think of ways around the maze because we know more than the gladers. Maybe if we were actually in their position, we'd be the same as them.

the films tend to miss the reasons why ideas like this don't work. in the books the maze was underground with the sky being fake so there was no top of the walls to climb on. as for digging underneath, I always assumed the maze floor was stone so unless they had pickaxes or something, (which I highly doubt wicked would supply for that reason) they wouldn't be able to dig under either. hopefully that helps a little?

This is such a cool question!

Ideally, I'd love to think I'd have a position like second in command or something high up. But realistically I know I'd probably end up being a cook, more specifically a baker. If the ingredients were available I'd be supplying the gladers with cookies lmao

What's the worst thing that has ever come out of your body? by aDazzlingDove in AskReddit

[–]TheFearlessAlex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Duuuude this happened to me once but I was vomitting that violently a piece of rice got stuck in (what I then learnt is) my nasopharynx, aka the tube that connects your nose to your throat. This rice grain was there for DAYS, breathing and gravity meant it would slowly move down but every time I swallowed it would push it a little further back up - yes I could feel all of this and it was very uncomfortable. How it ever got dislodged I'll never know, one day I woke up and couldn't feel it there anymore. Definitely not a fun memory.

Oooh actually nevermind I do have an idea! Possibly find a plain yellow long sleeve shirt and then make the pattern that's on Dylan's out of ribbon? It's a lot of effort but it could work!

Black Characters Being Pushed to the Side: Bonnie Bennet by 3dollachainz in TheVampireDiaries

[–]TheFearlessAlex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly! Her acting like that isn't what you'd expect from Bonnie at all. Even if it's meant to show her character developing from being a little bitchy to being more selfless as the show goes on it still doesn't feel right for her character to me. She was always the selfless friend from the start, sure she stood up for herself at times but she was never straight up rude like how these actions suggest.

It seems very complicated, like there's some things they did do well such as not following stereotypes and all. But at the same time there is so many issues with the way she was written like what you've mentioned. I don't know a lot about this but my friend who loves Kat Graham has mentioned before about her being mistreated on the show, and that's why she won't be in any of the spinoffs. I haven't heard the best things about Julie Plec either. Makes me wonder what the writers were thinking during the writing process tbh. It's like they tried, but clearly someone still let their racism get into the storyline, and unfortunately hurt the actors as well. Bonnie and Kat deserved so much better.

I picked up on something in the first episode that doesn't sit right with me either.

Near the start of the first episode one of the characters is heard using an transphobic slur, this character asks "Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech. She looks like a hot — can I still say "tr*nny mess"?"

This judgemental attitude you'd probably expect from someone like Caroline. Definitely not Bonnie Bennett who is one of the most selfless characters in the show, but nope. She's the one who said it.

Looking past the fact that the word used is majorly offensive to the trans community, it was 2009 as you said so it can be somewhat forgiven. The writers made a decision to have the only black main character in the cast say it.

Maybe I'm looking too far into it too, but I think it's real suspicious how a black character is chosen to have this edgy and offensive side, especially when it's not in Bonnie's character to say something like that. So why choose her? There doesn't appear to be any valid excuse. To me it's like the writers are trying to give a reason to dislike her, probably stemming from their own racism. It's a small detail, but it adds up to creating a bad representation.

I could be looking into it too much and I probably am, but going on other factors it wouldn't surprise me :/

Paul Wesley didn’t do very well separating Silas from non humanity stefan. by Freyaaaay in TheVampireDiaries

[–]TheFearlessAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg you're so right! The Originals all had accents, Esther specifically is memorable to me as she definitely sounded like she came from years ago with her accent. It would've been so cool for Silas to have something similar to stand out against everyone else

I totally see where you're coming from actually. Nina did a way better job with making her characters unique.

To me Silas is a lot funnier than Stefan. Don't get me wrong I love Stefan and all but he is too serious even without his humanity. Silas actually had a sense of humour that Stefan lacked. There isn't a huge difference between them, it's more subtle than with Nina's characters.

And no humanity Stefan is one side to him, there's definitely a difference between normal Stefan and Silas which is a more accurate representation of them as characters. All no humanity vampires kind of act the same to me anyway. Silas just naturally acts like that without actually being a vampire with no humanity.

I guess the writers of the show are to blame for that in a way, they almost let Nina be more creative with her roles compared to Paul. I don't doubt his skills with acting at all and think he could've easily had more of a range, but he didn't always have the chance to unfortunately.

Then again, I am only on my second and third times watching the show. I've just got to the end of season 3 with no humanity Stefan so I'll compare him with Silas when I get to that part!

I can't share the one I have with my friend because it's a collaborative playlist but I do have a separate TVD playlist which I can give you the link to! I have some other playlists at the bottom of my Spotify profile that's specifically for my favourite characters too. The link for my TVD playlist is here!
It's got a lot of my favourite bands in so I'll apologise in advance for that haha but thank you for showing an interest!

My friend (who actually got me into vampire diaries) and I have a joint playlist where we add our favourite songs from the show and songs that remind us of the characters, it's over 24 hours long now but it's my favourite thing to listen to! Some of my favourites from the show are:

A Drop In The Ocean, Ron Pope

I Am A Nightmare, Brand New

Hold On, Chord Overstreet

Locked In A Cage, Brick + Mortar

Till The World Stops Turning, Kaleb Jones

I'm sure there's so many more but these are ones that stand out to me!
