A Long-ass Post About Our Favorite Ship Ever

a long-ass post about our favorite ship ever

(well, second-favorite, secret shanghai’s ships are all tying for first place for me)

There’s something so beautiful about how two halves of the same thing, after losing all memory of being the Pearls themselves, managed to find each other again. Ao Bing and Nezha are soulmates in the purest sense. They quite literally complete each other.

We see it in their personalities too, Ao Bing’s utter and complete obedience (as we see in the first movie) versus Nezha’s utter lack of respect to anyone ever, but especially his elders, the people that Ao Bing, in his position, would have obeyed without question.

We see it when Nezha tells Ao Bing that they are too young to fear and when Ao Bing believes him. They compliment each other like soulmates are meant to. They build each other up. Nezha was the one that made Ao Bing dream. Ao Bing was the one who made Nezha believe the world didn’t have to have a place for him.

When Nezha was younger, we saw him desperately try to ‘play’ with everyone around him, even though he only caused destruction and pain. Then he meets Ao Bing, his very first friend, and then he starts to believe that the world doesn’t have to have a place for him so long as he has a friend.

Going back to the last lines of Nezha 2–“Because we are too young. Too young to fear.”—it’s actually something quite different. As another post explained, what it truly means is that they ‘don’t know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is’. This saying just means that the target of it is naïve, young, stupid.

And Ao Bing and Nezha certainly are young—their mortal bodies at least. They’re physically three years old. But the Chaos Pearl was an ancient thing, created centuries ago at least. And Ao Bing and Nezha certainly aren’t naïve or stupid. They’ve encountered so much pain. Ao Bing’s worldview was completely flipped upside down. Nezha almost sacrificed himself.

So what is Nezha saying, then? He’s telling Ao Bing that they have to still be naïve and stupid. He’s saying that they have to try to change the world, however stupid it might be, and echo of the sentiment he told Ao Guang a little bit ago.

How does that tie into my soulmate point? Well, who could understand how impossibly old Nezha was, while also being so young and naïve, if not Ao Bing? Who could understand his desire to change the world if not another outcast, if not Ao Bing?

They understand each other. They complete each other. And that’s why OuBing is, like, the greatest ship of all time.

Yes.

This might be a little embarrassing or weird but has anyone watched Barbie movies growing up??

If so, I had this random idea hit me. What if and I mean WHAT IF there was a gahan or jwds fic based on the movie, the island princess?? God the vibes and setting would suit any of the couple. Especially jwds. Like come on, juwon as an actual prince?? Dongshik stranded on an island and had animals raising him (or in this case it could be him being there on the island with the manyang gang) and has lost all memories of himself when he was a litter kid. Oh and juwon finds him there and brings him and his frnds back to civilization and dongshik starts living in the palace and finds out about his family and finds out he was a twin and oh my god it'll be such a treat to read this cuz it's also gonna be a forbidden romance.

Feel free to use this idea if you're interested!

🇵🇸‼️stop please 🛑‼️

Why all this silence? No one is doing anything. Israeli missiles bombed the tents of the displaced at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The bodies of children, women and men were charred. No one was able to save them from the severity of the fire. Why all this failure, O world, where are the rulers? Where are the institutions that claim to be institutions that protect human rights? Where are we? We are going. We have never seen anything like this before. Please make our voice heard to every official, to everyone who can do nothing. O God, be with us, O God

Please, I do not want to lose any of my family, any of my friends, or my relatives. Please save us, stop all this injustice, all these massacres.

These are simple scenes from what happens every day in the north. If people do not die from the missiles, they die from hunger. There is nothing more unfair to humanity than this.

In Defense of Curly.

I'm going to start off with the biggest thing that this post could ever mention. Obviously this thread is not at all claiming he is innocent, at all, but some of you need to learn what an unkowning bystander is before you all go and jump Curly and make him out to be just as bad as Jimmy, if not worse for his "Inaction" and i'm going to explain in this thread that accounting bystanders to be apart of the crime is not fair, and how the situation with Anya, Jimmy and Curly is actually very realistic on how real life rape situations go, and the spiraling that occours afterwards.

This is going to be a long thread involving the topics of rape and other mental health junk, so strap in!

Anya's rape.

I'm going to immediately preface this section with a very big important thing. I am a victim, so do not think I am talking out of my ass here when I am talking about Anya, kay we cool now? kay.

So, we as the player know what happens. We know that there was a situation between Anya and Jimmy which either lead to rape, or it was enforced upon her, the actual content of the situation we don't know anything about, all we know that it was not consensual. But how it started and the exact details, we know nothing about.

When Anya tells Curly that she is pregnant, she expresses its something bad, but never tells Curly HOW it happened. And Curly's immediete action is to be concerned for her, he is worried for her, and even though he shouldn't, he LETS HER keep the gun as well!

But WE KNOW exactly what happened, as the player, but Curly wasn't told. He was only told that a pregnancy occurred between her and Jimmy, but the actual details of the event- what we know, is not something that Curly knows. We're able to pick up all the signs and see the language and imagery used, but to Curly, it just sounds like they had a hook up and it ended up in a pregnancy.

And that is a totally fair assumption to make, and it is also a completely fair assumption that your best friend wouldn't do such a thing. (I'll touch on this a bit later) So why would his first assumption be rape? Being unhappy about the pregnancy doesn't exactly scream anything in particular, in Curly's mind, she could be unhappy for multiple reasons. That it happened with Jimmy (of all people), that she is stuck on a ship in outer space for what seems like the remainder of her pregnancy, which is an already unsafe environment to be pregnant in and carry a baby to term. So it is a totally understandable and fine thing to not automatically assume rape when there are already plenty of other things at play that could make her and Jimmy unhappy with the outcome.

And plus, when Anya asks what Curly would have done, people seem to be ignoring (or just plain outright not even noticing) the language used. She's asking him what he would have done. The event is already over, it happened, she is asking what he would have done if he had been there, or if he knew earlier; or maybe if he knew at all.

For safety, for whatever reason the cockpit has locks, whatever reason the Meday has a lock, but not any of the bedrooms. Curly acknowledges the absurdity behind the decision, but he doesn't quite understand or grasp why Anya could be asking such a thing beyond simple curiosity because of course someone like Anya would be pointing out something like this, she spends the most time in the med bay, and Curly likewise with the Cockpit.

There are a ton of nuances that go into play when trying to realistically picture what could have or what should have happened on the Tulpar with Jimmy, and I really wish more people were willing to understand that it's not just as black and white, and not people that end up enabling said abusers are not always a willing and knowing crowd. And start maybe thinking about the fact that maybe

Curly really did not know the depth of the situation.

Jimmy's Spiral

The other thing I see tons and tons and tons of people talk about is "why didn't Curly do more about Jimmy!" "Why didn't he see this coming!"

Because, proven by my point of him not noticing Anya's rape, he would not have noticed Jimmy to do such a thing as murder-suicide. They have been friends for a "long time" according to Curly, but what if this was truly the first time he's ever seen Jimmy get this mad? When Anya tells Curly she told Jimmy, his first immediate response is to panic, he knows that Jimmy is an angry man, possibly a violent one as well.

He expected there to be yelling, or worse, physical violence, but Jimmy just.. walked away. And that's what scared him the most, the fact that he didn't react terrified Curly. So he ran to go and check on Jimmy and try to calm him down, which he thought worked, until it didn't. Curly would not have ever expected Jimmy to do this, how could he?This is probably the very first time that he's seen Jimmy spiral so hard, so intensely and in such a short time. He's seen him get mad, get angry, get violent, but those have all been in different situations, which have not as dire consequences as being the co-pilot of a ship with everyone on board. How the hell was he supposed to assume that he would ever do something like this? And that's even further proved by Curly's shock when Jimmy does divert the ship to crash it.

In Defense Of Curly.

In Defense Of Curly.

He is in genuine shock that Jimmy would even do this, and it seems like even Jimmy is as well. Despite having made multiple conscious decisions, turning the steering wheel right, getting out of his chair, grabbing the override key, disabling auto pilot and then steering again into the asteroid, he is still in shock that he actually went through with this. He wasn't actually expecting to do it, and then he did, and now he's grasping the consequences of his actions way too late.

And Curly is also just as shocked.

"I didn't- I should have..." is an immediate blame towards himself for not thinking that Jimmy would do something like this, but again, how do you plan for something like this? If Curly knew Jimmy was capable of such collateral destruction, he would not have him as his co-pilot, so it only makes sense that this was the first real and dangerous time he ever saw Jimmy truly spiral into madness. There were all the warning signs, all the red flags, but nothing could have prepared him for this. Why would Curly's first reaction to anything be the worst outcome, you don't do that when you trust someone. And again, this could be seriously the first time he's ever seen Jimmy react like this.

All we know is that Jimmy has had it rough back on earth, that he was jobless for a long time. Nothing else, nothing about him being a criminal, nothing about him being in trouble with the police, just that he has had it hard which can really mean anything.

It was the wrong time, the wrong person, the wrong break with all the wrong tools.

In conclusion, Curly is not entirely innocent. But I think it is extremely fair and very realistic to not automatically assume the worst of someone you thought you could trust. And he genuinely thought he could trust Jimmy, and he reacted pretty realistically and fairly given the circumstances. He absolutely cared about Anya and the rest, and would have done much much more if he had the time or the ability to do so.

Of course he didn't notice the smaller details, he's used to looking at the bigger picture.
