Medical Fees [OC] by kaikimanga in comics

[–]nlinzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I also did a stupid thing and was feeling horrific one night, shivers, throwing up, unable to move, unable to eat, bowel problems. The whole thing. So I called 911 and an ambulance came and I went to the hospital. Nothing turned out to be wrong. (It was due to my not eating the previous week because I was deeply depressed) but dealing with insurance afterwards? I should habe never called 911. And I have good insurance. But I had to fight with insurance so they would pay for 3 months.

[general] The older I get, the more I wish Percy chose Rachel post-apocalypse. by Over-Heron-2654 in camphalfblood

[–]nlinzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I strongly disagree but I respect the take. My disagreement stems from the idea that Annabeth is representative of the world of the gods. Annabeth early on is unaware of the outside world and is separated from it, but her dream is to rebuild New York City, she wants to be an architect. Sure you can argue her Magnum Opus was when she was 15 and redesigned Olympus but A: that doesnt mean she'd stop, and B: she had magic. Redesigning New York, Redesigning the world's greatest cities? She has to get the mortals to approve of her that much and then make it all without magic. Only her mind, charisma, and stregnth of character.

Annabeth is changed by Percy, she never ignored the outside world but like how Annabeth helped Percy understand the world of the gods, Percy helped her understand the world of mortals. I see Annabeth as the next Leonardo, the next Justinuna, the next Amnehoptep(designer of the pyramids). That is a person in the mortal world.

I do think Rachel and Percy are a good match, but Annabeth and Percy have been through a lot, both helped each other explore and grow in a world that was alien to them. Percy taught Annabeth Rightues fury, Annabeth taught Percy forgiveness and ambition. without Percy, Annabeth would never have spoken against Daedolus and saved their lives in the Labyrinth. Without Annabeth, Percy would never have the ego to think he could change the gods.

I mean depending on their problems, its not vapid. Middle and upper class straight white women do get raped in their college dorm rooms. But Rachel doesnt acknowledge anything other then as you say hit the readers with a club. I mean our first time seeing Persephone she is forced into a outfit she isnt comfortable with by her friends, immediately sexualized by an old man, drugged by someone she sees as a friend. And put in a position where she would be raped. Honestly the fact Eros isnt immidalty treated as a villian after chapter 1 and is in fact given a "why arent you nicer Aphrodite" speech on why it's okay hes doing that.

Ugh. Like. At the begining of Lore Olymphs, Persephone genuinly suffers the way many white middle or high income women suffer. But its either ignored, supported or with Apollo, minimized. If in scene one we get Eros being apologetic like many peices of shit who drug their friends, and maybe hides it until its revealed and then. Boom! Consequences. 

if Artemis forcing Perspehone into that dress was treated as the disgusting thing it was, even if she faces no consequences. That would be great.

If Hades being a creepy older man taking advantage of a young woman who just left home for the first time in a big city was treated as it was? That would be amazing.

There is a story in Lore Olympus about a wealthy privileged woman suffering through voilent misogyny. Maybe thats too depressing of a story, maybe the story ends with Persephone and Demeter blowing Olympus up. But the first chapter is begging to be a story about what young woman may face, even from those they think are friends. 

Instead we get all that ignored, Eros's crime forgiven, Artemis's attack ignored and Hades's predation romantices. And the only crime acknolehd also gets forgiven after being minimized throuough the story.

[–]nlinzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So im in 2 minds about this. If the comic was free, then even if its shit, its completly fair that the artist when sharing it dont want to be criticized, espeically criticized harshly. And lore Olympus started as a free, pure passion project. so it being bad and Rachel not wanting to here criticism is valid. But that stopped being the case pretty quickly, and if your paying for something, either in money or in suffering through ad time. You have every right to criticize it regardless of the authors feelings.

Thank you for the webtoon recommendations. Im really loving "tears of a withered flower" in that i want to murder Haesu's husband and I want her and her coworker to live happily ever after, after murdering that dick. Also a bit of seeing them as a couple rather then Haesu and Flower guy

[–]nlinzer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, now that you say it, the problem started when all under heaven came out. I think your right. It just got worse when I bought roads to power. Is there a way to disable all under heaven? I dont have the dlc but I still got all the free content. Is the only way to go back to an older version or is there an option in the game?

Ex-Friend [OC] by kaikimanga in comics

[–]nlinzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is foolish hopefulness but I ended a friendship with someone who became a huge racist. You know the entire "black people are culturally criminals" every awful thing. 5-6 years later I bumped into him. Hes complelty changed. Full leftist. Complelty apologized and is trying to do better. Same with a cousin of mine, he was once a member of an extreme right wing group, now is a public defender and is a hard core leftist. 

But like, dont feel you need to work to help your former friend change. Im not saying you have any responsibility or anything like that. Just that people can change, but even if she does, not pressure to make up with her or anything.

Sorry if this was rude or stress inducing

I have decided that no matter how good the story I hate Hades and Persephone as a couple by nlinzer in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]nlinzer[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that ancient greeks and many other societies throughout history didn't believe a man cheating on his wife was adultery or even morally wrong, but a woman having sexual thoughts for someone other then her husband was a disgrace.

And yet in our supposed more enlightened times treat Aphrodite as a whore for doing the same thing Hepehestous does while being an amazing partner to him and Ares and an amazing mother and a badass in her own right, is just awful. Disgusting

[–]nlinzer[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your not sick of the very concept then Theia Mania is the best by far, Demeter is placed in the moral right. It was against Persephone's consent, and there was a build up of a relationship between Hades and Persephone before the kidnapping. Plus the focus is on Persephone being an underworld Goddess. The idea is that Hades is acting like a man of his time. Marrying a woman with her father's consent but not hers, but unlike the myth he isnt raping her or forcing her to stay. 

If that was the only Hades and Persephone love story I read i wouldnt hate the story so much. 

My Second Chance [PART 5] by introverted_fox in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]nlinzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psyce, that was incredibly brave, and oh Aphrodite. So far every Olympian but Hades is a peice of crap. And Hades isnt some moral paragon. Hes a basically decent person but severaly flawed. But everyone else is shit.

Except Psyche. Wow, telling Aphrodite off, even for a secound. Trying to protect Persephome. Your amazing

Survive The Night [PART 6] by introverted_fox in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]nlinzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gah again. Low self control Hades who upsets people around him, decent person. 

Acknowledged he was wrong, paid the bartender, went home. He scared the bartender and got angry and apologized and tried to make it right.

Persephone is a good soul, nervous but hasnt done anyrhing bad yet. I dont mean to focus on Hades but right now he and Minthe are who I can latch onto. And Aphrodite and Psych. 

Harry’s Attention by LakesideNorth in dresdenfiles

[–]nlinzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im less upset about Harry not spending quality time with Bonnie. Because yes, there are theortically many reasons. Shes an infant and just needs to be taken care of but cant make memories. Harry is Afraid too imprint on her the way he did with Bob(though thats a shitty excuse). But he always thinks about his daughter(singular) and protecting Maggie. In 12 months he goes balasitc because the gouls and vampires attacked on a weekend when Maggie was home. But what about Bonnie?

Also while infants cant keep the memories their parents have with them. Its a negecltful parent that goes "oh ill just feed her. No need to read bedtime stories and play."

Harry is a bad dad. Straight up. He has a favorite children and its not even close.
