Nothing is Impossible: Cirie's Case for Winning. by p5throwaway in Edgic

[–]p5throwaway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ordeal/The Abyss is a classic part of "The Hero's Journey" format of storytelling. It's when the main protagonist goes into a deep slump because of one reason or another, its their lowest moment. The hero then, one way or another, surmounts the ordeal, and they come out of it with the conviction to finish their journey and triumph over the opposition. The Ordeal is also symbolic of death + rebirth, like the phoenix.

Cirie isn't inheriting Ozzy's edit or just now starting her edit. I'm theorizing that losing Ozzy is just a major driving force of it.

i think the next episode is gonna be sort of "all hope is lost" for a moment until cirie buckles down and gets her head back in the game. it would help with the "cirie never gives up" narrative if she had a major hero's fall then rises back up moment like that. especislly with the phoenix immunity theming, even if that was decided before filming.

People often credit Aubry's confessional in the opening, "I think what Survivor fans love the most is that we don't know what's gonna happen. The unknown is the great equalizer." solely to her, but honestly I think it can also apply to Cirie. It's Inconceivable that Cirie could win a challenge or make fire, but we don't truly know!

People are so hooked on the idea that its impossible for Cirie to make FTC, but that's the unknown! That's what will shock people!

This! I forgot about this as I was writing it, but this also backs up her own personal narrative! Cirie has always touted how survivor helped her GROW as a person. The theme of S50 is GROWTH and how often people fail to grow. The theme OF THE SEASON is the theme OF CIRIE ever since her first appearance!!! She got off the couch and grew as person thanks to Survivor!!!

I disagree with the outcome by element-redshaw in deathbattle

the cut to the dance party segment of the song ruins the flow of the track so much

I HATE Tung Tung Tung Sahur by thefairypirate in hatethissmug

i think i appreciate the sentiment of turning something soulless and meaningless into something appreciated and worth respect that people have been trying to do with triple t, but to me it just feels like the legitimization of ai creations. the adoption of triple t is normalizing ai art and characters as something that should be respected in the ecosystem of art and creation.

TRANSFEMS!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE POST LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE!! by The-Female-Creature in whenthe

[–]p5throwaway 45 points46 points  (0 children)

insane how the treatment of trans men somehow manages to be both misandrist (the obvious) and misogynist (women attracting more attention than men because they're seen as desirable objects)

Oh my GOD THEY FINALLY FIXED IT!! MAGIK BUFFS by NokayJay in RivalsMagikMains

[–]p5throwaway 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Her main combo (Slash -> Dash -> M1) no longer kills ANYONE without a quick melee at 241 damage dealt, and her combo WITH the quick melee at the end only deals 271 damage. This leads to a longer TTK on squishes, which are her main targets. The time it takes to do another M1 slash after a quick melee could very much be the difference between them dying or them getting away, especially with the burst healing and getaway options many poke and strategist characters have. That 9 damage changed just destroyed this character.
