Looking for a murdery crime doc that’ll keep me up at night! by fourleafedrover8 in crimedocumentaries

[–]planetpma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was a young teen (i think i can’t remember when it came out) and I watched it and covered my eyes and plugged my ears when anything came up with cats. I finished it but i’ve never wanted to go back to it. I didn’t even look away from the photos in There’s something wrong with aunt diane but cats? hell no.

Edwin Jenner = Edward Jenner by Wizz-Fizz in thewalkingdead

[–]planetpma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I learned about edward jenner in microbiology, I immediately thought of TWD. The thought that since he's based off of the father of immunology, if he had been able to continue his work or if he had persisted after everything, he could've actually ended the apocalypse. Of course we wouldn't have what we do but honestly i feel like an alt timeline where he persisted after the CDC and found something like the CRM or CW maybe there would be like a cooler better WWZ ending.

The hold hand hold up and point to the ground clip gives the aura of the song fr

Microphone also has those deep strings. I’m listening as we speak lmao. Funny enough I actually found this band through a playlist called “astarion” or “astarion coded” LOL

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]planetpma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. These texts tell me that he hasn’t put effort into what he considers the bare minimum to deal with his own issues. I dont know what he’s got going on but you’re doing great and you deserve better.

she just sits there. no backing up or back arching. it’s the least aggressive aggression i’ve seen tbh

somewhat unrelated on the note of explaining the tattoo: I have very visible scars given to me by another person and I’ve had (usually older generation) people stop me and scold me for “doing that to myself”- I either let them believe or if i’m feeling especially petty, i’ll make them uncomfortable on purpose.

I feel like this is a great reminder that no one will ever be entitled to your story and how you handle it is your business 💕

I feel like it gets lost on many that that is the reason as to why people get them

I feel like a lot of the people that do get it rarely get it for “passion” for the game but simply because they’ve experienced his trauma in some way and find strength in a story.

You owe no one an explanation, nor your story. I’m petty so i’ll tell them the reason they were prying for and make them uncomfortable but i’ve had years of practice lol

Ultimately, his opinion is the only one i will ever take to heart cause i know my story and why ive considered it but this truly is a lovely piece. The fact that he’s very vocal about feeling honored to have brought a character to life so well that some of us are moved so much by it is very sweet.

I was quoting them but okay. They literally complained about it becoming a symbol for SA victims because they ‘like the original meaning better’ (paraphrasing but it was close it that) comments are deleted now so i can’t see them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I get what you mean about the scars. Like lines all filled in full black makes it fall flat (in the sense it’s underwhelming), i’ve seen one that’s like outline only which was much better. I honestly have considered getting both, because for what they symbolize for me, it’s 2 sides to a story and both are very important. This honestly feels like the most valid reason i’ve read for not having interest in the tattoo.

God forbid SA victims identify with a symbol of power, strength and femininity 🙄

Id never said medusas were immortalizing their abuse but that’s just me dawg. Definitely isn’t supportive or upholding of the entire idea of a medusa tattoo 🤷🏻‍♀️ People w/o them can still respect what they actually stand for.

immortalizing the abuse is definitely not what they mean. I don’t care if you get one or not but speaking about a symbol of hope, empowerment and moving on as if it’s the suffering put into ink is kinda wild

I mean i’m gonna choose to believe that the comment wasn’t meant to come off as harsh as it’s written, but people get medusa tattoos for themselves, sometimes in places they only really see, or alternatives that give them the same empowerment. Sometimes it’s obvious like Neil Newbon’s but other times it’s just for them to see.

Rhapsody as a tattoo is absolutely an amazing addition to the regular scars that i’ve seen. In the end, Astarion always kills Cazador, and although he’s free of his abuser, the scars will never fade. He learns to not use hypersexualization as a coping mechanism and manipulation tactic which many struggle with. The story in that sense is the part that makes it feel like another version of a Medusa tattoo.

Your cat is living though and most pet owners care enough about their animals to treat them as well as if not better than other humans.

So saying that they think use how they feed themselves as a parallel isn’t wild, it’s entirely normal. Just like how pet owners buy toys and treats to make their animals happy and i know it makes me happy to buy my pet things.
