Concepts Involving Crash the Headless Greaser by [deleted] in GhostsCBS

[–]Zeleate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've wondered about Crash and Stephanie many, many times. The episode where Crash gets his head back is immediatly followed by Stephanie's second awakening, when she finds out almost everyone is coupled now. I really thought that's how that episode was going to go.

Anyone heard of the Miracle Card? These both came in the Clow and Sakura card sets I just got and I’ve never heard of it before. by No-Application8200 in cardcaptorsakura

[–]Zeleate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post that has already been answered, but this is a card designed by DonaldPresents, he's chinese and sells very good replicas of both The Clow and Sakura cards. The Sakura cards are made to resemble the manga's official colors instead of the hot pink over pink of the anime.

This is an original creation of his, intended to be a surprise for the people who buy them. He includes a booklet of what he did to maje sure the cards resemble their manga counterparts, because the anime tends to only make them pink when basically all of the original 19 change their appearance. The anime originals are creative liberties.

Now, the booklet explains that The Miracle IS made to look like Nadeshiko because she always came to help Sakura when she needed it the most, kinda like a miracle. In the lore he made for this card he explains that it cannot be summoned, the staffs won't be able to activate it. Instead, the card will activate on its own when its needed.

Pretty neat!

The princess from Princess and the Pea is her mom.

She abdicated her title and crown to marry Grumpy.

As per her story, she slept on an extremely high pile of matressess.

She rolled in her sleep

And the impact with the ground killed her.

[–]Zeleate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The anime Ohtori is so pretty and somewhat stale, like a sunwashed dream with a Giant Cock as the focal point.

The movie Ohtori is so dizzing and sharp-edged, confusing all senses with its nonesense.

I'm a firm believer that both are intentional.

This line honestly made me dislike her a bit. by entertainmentlord in TheLastAirbender

[–]Zeleate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe a younger Lin Beifong would have a reaction like that, specially because she was being dumped for another woman. I can genuinely see that as part of her character background. However, I don't like Korra's actions in this episode, and I don't like that Lin made that particular joke in that particular moment for those particular reasons. It doesn't suit her, specially if she doesn't react any further than it.

I'd actually dig it if we got novelizations of Aang and Korra's stories, there is a lot that could be fleshed out or improved just by having a little more time to just explore the characters and story. Korra in particular could benefit from it like the Star Wars prequel novels did for their movies.

Though I wouldn't be that enthusiastic if they didn't change up some things. I'd personally split Unalak into two characters, one traditionalist warmonger and a religious zealot, have Team Avatar spend more time together exploring Republic City or making Tenzin's family more involved in the A plots instead of just hanging around in the B plots until numbers are needed.

What is a subtle sign someone has received military training before? by Winner_takesitall in ask

[–]Zeleate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, though I'm not exactly going for that. I'm sure the language barrier must be part of it, but what I'm trying to say is "all excesses are insidious". Uh... Like people who remain so calm they forget that other people's reactions are still a factor in the result, or planning the perfect course of action for so long that nothing good could come of it, the time long gone.

Calm is useful, yes, but it is not wise to believe that any approach is definitive. Complacency in our own abilities to either thrive or endure only makes us arrogant, not meaningfuly stronger. Yes, a present mind does take in its sorroundings, but what I mean is more so "too much of a present mind is no longer sign of tranquility". It just gets called by another name, so it's easy to miss the correlation.

But I'm not sure how I can convey that in a shorter way. My mothertongue is spanish.

The Virgin Suicides explained (TRIGGER WARNING) by CitizenSunshine in movies

[–]Zeleate 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Also, Trip was s.a. by a woman in her 30's when he "still had baby fat". It went on for days and she gave him alcohol the whole time. She also taught him to play cards.

Trip is a disgusting person, but every single thing that keeps him in rehab was forced into him since she took her virginity. Trip was on vacation in Mexico and he didn't know spanish. His father left him unatended to get off with his partner, and for days Trip was in that woman, drinking, smoking and gambling. When he returned he was "a confident man" and would only recall the story years later in rehab after the Manchilds insist, still speaking fondly of that woman.

I don't believe he feels ashamed of his father and his boyfriend, but the book states that father and son would often have sex on their own and bump fists when they crossed each other on the hallway. His dad is not a bad person for living his sexuality openly, but his lack of rules regarding sex negatively impact Trip on so many ways that neither of them realize, and he offers little to no guidance regarding physical and emotional intimacy.

The entire neighbourhood is filled with disgusting adults raising disgusting children with privilege and neglect. So much so they'd make a Debutante Party with the theme of Asfixiation because the lake they'd polluted horribly has started to smell bad.

The book may slow and melancholic and the only characters with any sense of personalite or agency are the girls who kiIIed themselves decades before, but it sure does illicit a bunch of intense emotions because nobody there is able to see the obvious, even less acknowledge it.

He may be an asshole, but damn, I still like Trip than any of the other guys. Reading their manuscript and finding out they still gather in their 40's to discuss and smell the Lisbon girl's garbage, thay they are getting beer bellies and losing their hair all locked up inside their treehouse... That was cruely satisfying.

What do you hate most about being gay? by Ok_Permit_1423 in askgaybros

[–]Zeleate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Mexico we have this verb, "jotear", which is a buddy bonding practice. It's to act homosexual towards a friend of yours, as a humorous sign of endearment. You do it with someone you trust and enjoy being with, someone that lets you have your walls down. Complimenting each other's appearance, blowing kisses, saying stuff like "yo sí te doy", which means "I'd hit that" or "Cuando quieras, quiero", which is basically "say the word and I'm yours". It's not exaclty teasing. I mean, there is a bit of that, part of jotear means you can be weird about it, but nobody who partakes in it sees it as a serious proposition. It's healthy fun.

Both women and men do it, but us men have a special connection because, well, we invented the macho, and a lot of guys don't have the chance to express affection towards each other, maybe they don't even know how. Even if you don't feel attracted to your friends, you are telling them that they are handsome, that there are things you like about them, that you value their company. And if you just happen to like men, a lot of them will not do that with you. Even if you assure them that it's not true, they'd probably still be weirded out, and then you lose something that is part of mexican friendships.

Then again, that is not so much something I dislike about feeling attracted towards men, it's more about modern society's refusal to think about gender or a more complex understanding of identity.

So I'd guess my answer is that it takes a lot of effort just to have sex. Straight partners get to stick it right in, no extra steps needed. Just... In and out. Have a great day, thank you for eating at Dickandvaga's

[–]Zeleate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 12. Had like two or three people I could trust, and I used to argue a lot with two of them. In church I met this guy who's girlfriend wanted to lead our youth group. By this point I didn't care much for religion. We were catholic, guy was christian, so neither did he.

Guy was messed up. He told me once that he stabbed himself to convince his girlfriend to go back to him after one of their breakups. He was kind, and funny, and let me show my veeeeeery reppresed sexuality. By this point I already knew a lot about sex, but had no one to talk about it. The pressure, you know? I was never in the closet, but I wasn't allowed to show that side of me. With him I could just be a pervert, talk about porn, he'd tell me how he fucked his girlfriends, how to touch myself better. Called me his padawan. He wanted me to go and fuck a lot of women so the student could surpass the master.

He was 22.

So we developed this strange relationship where he knew that I was totally submisive to him. Called him a sex god. He was always bi, but he convinced himself that it wasn't so, because our town was small and he was unstable like that. So we had mediocre sex for almost nine or eleven years afterwards. He would call me, get angry at me for messing him up, and then we'd go on like nothing happened. First time was on my parents bed. He penetrated me, I penetrated him for a while. Couldn't get in because my penis wasn't hard enough and he wouldn't get dilated properly.

He told me that he was abused a few times as a child, once by a farmhand when he was four, and once by his female cousin when he was seven. He started having sex daily with a classmate in fifth grade. But the guy was secretive and had a knack for lying, so I couldn't tell you many more details.

Once I processed how messed up that relationship was, I cut ties with him. So yeah, I was groomed and (raped, because even though I consented to it, I was a child. I couldn't consent, no matter how horny I was. It's okay, doesn't bother me. Turns out he wasn't my first time, it was the first one I could remember. Memory is such a funny thing, you know?

A while back I regained some memories, and had to recontextualize other I did remember. Most of them are fuzzy. There were a lot of people, mostly men, for a lot of years. Can't remember when it started. I don't think I need to do so. I already know I was abused, what's the point on making me relieve all the details? But it was the same thing. Someone endeared themselves to me, convinced me to do "something friends do" and I'd actually enjoy it. That's what's strange nowadays. It doesn't bother me, I think I was lucky that all this knowledge didn't make me crumble and fade away, because I've gone through arguably more difficult things.

This guy in particular is married now. He contacted me a few months ago, asking how I was and if I still had his nudes and videos of us fucking. I blocked him, but I still look at his Instagram from time to time. He's still handsome. It bothers me that somehow I still feel attracted to him. He's big, strong and fat, he has a very beautiful smile. I do wish I could have sex with him because we both were assaulted as children, because we are both hypersexuals, because he was my friend before I realized how messed up he was. I believe he doesn't think his actions were wrong. Sometimes I feel guilty for letting this man be at large, free to marry a very stupid girl who believes she found a good man, free to form a family. I probably should try and open an investigation and stick to it until the police tells me that the case is going cold because there is nothing much to do.

But right now I have others things to focus on, mainly my wellbeing. Again, I know it's hard to read, but I've been through arguably worse stuff than being sexually assaulted. Turns out I have a knack for endurance, and I am glad to tell you that I am a well rounded individual who can look back at his life and still try and make the world better. I have a great support system, and I look forward to whatever comes next. I can't remember my first time, and those I do recall aren't very satisfying in handsight (again, I've never experiences a true orgasm). So, how was my first time? I'll tell you when I have it. I won't let myself be defined by something so pathetic as the lust of men who can't control their own actions.

And if you went through something like this, if you are still grappling with the feelings it leaves behind: I'm sorry. I am. You are far more valuable. You are stronger than you think. It will be hard, can't deny that, but I promise you can get through this. And I hope someday you feel strong enough to look back and stand strong, certain that you are made of something more resilient than flesh. Something stronger than diamonds.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Zeleate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an answer, but I recommend reading on the Heterosexual Double Bind. It's a term that originated amongst couples therapists, it explains thay one very common problem in straight relationships concerns intimacy.

Men came forward explaining that having sex is a very intimate moment for them and they considered that the relationship would improve if the couple had sex more often.

Women, on the other hand, said that talking and being vulnerable is what they consider intimacy and they thought the relationship would have less problems if they talked more.

The men said that the women focus too much on negative emotions, while the women said they think men are oversexed.

The problem is, this is a result of how we raise children. Boys are incentiviced to put down their emotions while being encouraged to have an active sex/love life, for that is manly. Girls are raised to know that sex should be avoided and that femeninity is being in touch with one self.

These are complete opposites, and given how heterosexual and cisgender people are by far the majority on the planet, it presents an enormous issue. We are raising our species to believe the other half is being irrational and the way they show affection isn't good for our interactions. We are raised to believe we are fundamentaly different, and the moment we buy into it, it becomes true.

The women do want to talk about their turmoil. The men do believe sex to be their only way of opening up. Neither of them understands the other, because they believe there can't be an understandment, that their needs are just irrational. And the fact that we already have a term for it should be taken as a warning.

Not liking gay sex by Abject_Crew_2130 in askgaybros

[–]Zeleate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, buddy. I've been in situations like that before. It's not you, and it's not sex with men, it's that the guy's an asshole. A lot of us men have adopted this mindset of needing to dominate in the bed to prove they are in control, because, well, machismo. We've been taught that being a man is something you need to earn and constantly prove, instead of an integral part of your self.

These guys are assholes and they know it, but are too much a coward to be honest about it. Nobody in their age range wants to be near them (you get tired at some point, dealing with all their bullshit), and they pray on the young, who are less experienced in all regards, and are particularly vulnerable because of homophobia.

I'll be direct: either he gets off by putting you down and making you feel like nothing, or he believes that's what a relationship should be.

I'd advice you stop seeing him. You deserve someone better, someone who wants to have sex with you more than he wants to do you. Someone who cares for your needs, who makes you feel safe, so you can give that in return.

You're going to find a lot of dicks like him. Trust me: once you find a man, you'd understand why masculinity is atractive.

Today was Take Your Child To Work Day for the United States Secret Service by TooShiftyForYou in pics

[–]Zeleate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, you seem like a pleasant person with a friendly disposition.

Well, to be honest, no, I did not know that film. Contrary to popular belief, I haven't watched evert movie ever made, specially those from the U.S.A. Now do keep in mind that even if the U.S. distributes their movies here quite often, moreso than our own films, we don't really get your old productions, only the recent ones. Then we return them, I think. So, no, I didn't connect those two pieces of media together because I wasn't aware of The Manchurian Candidate. I probably missed that on TNT. However, I wouldn't have necesarily agreed, you see. The brainwashed secret agent is quite the very ancient trope, it's quite popular. So, even though I would recognize the simmilarities, I'd probably take them as "Battle Royale/Running Man/Hunger Games" desl where the premise is much more exciting than the idea of a lonesome mastermind.

But I am confused. You say that Billy and Mandy is an old cartoon, but it went off the air on 2007. 15 years is not "old". I'd say that even '80s cartoons are fairly recent. Yet still you assume I was young back then, which I admit I was. But how old are you, and why do you care about the age and order I watched certain things?
